Guild dormitory.

Alyssa lay on the bed, exposing her abdomen, a fist-sized wound on it, and Felik stood on the edge of the bed frowning, his eyes a little hesitant.

According to Bella's words, in order for Elisa's body to heal, then Alyssa needs to ingest the host's blood, that is, his blood.

What's worse is that zombies can't eat food normally, and the only way to keep her body incorruptible is to drink blood, and it's the host's blood.

"Hey, hurry up and get me back." Alyssa urged.

Felik sighed, reluctantly untied the bandage on his wrist, and poured fresh blood into Elisa's wound, when the blood fell on Elisa's wound, a black complex magic array appeared on the wound, and while the suspended circle slowly rotated, Elisa's wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally the torn wound recovered as before, turning back to smooth and delicate skin, looking no different from ordinary people.

Other wounds on the body also appeared in magic circles of different sizes, and then healed one by one.

Felik breathed a sigh of relief, as it didn't seem to consume much of his blood.

However, thinking that Alyssa would still need to use his blood to keep the body intact, he planned to collect some of the blood first to minimize the number of self-harm in the future.

"It's incredible!" Alyssa slowly sat up from the bed, her fingers stretched, unhindered, and as flexible as ever. In addition, the skin that was already a little stiff became softer, and she felt as if she had come back to life, and accidentally saw Felik next to the bed storing his blood in the potion bottle, and Alyssa showed a puzzled expression: "What are you doing?" ”

"Alyssa, you can only live by drinking blood in the future, and I am now storing your food." Felik said expressionlessly.

Hearing that she would have to rely on the blood of the other party to survive in the future, Alyssa only frowned slightly, and there was no other overreaction, which surprised Felik slightly.

"I'm going back to the imperial capital, you know what I said, right?"

"Well, since you are going back to the imperial capital, then I can only accompany you." Fili carefully placed the blood-filled bottle in the box: "But it's just right, anyway, I'm going to go to the imperial capital to run for the brave sooner or later, and going with you is just a plan in advance." ”

Alyssa took off her coat from the hanger and put it back on, and glanced at Felik with a complicated expression, the demon king tried to disguise himself as a brave man, which is simply impossible: "The holy sword will never agree that a demon clan will become a brave, and it is impossible for two brave people to exist at the same time, when the previous generation of brave people is alive, it is absolutely impossible to conduct a brave election, so I advise you to give up as soon as possible." ”

Felik listened silently, but sighed silently in his heart, thinking that the truth that the brave man was dead was too cruel, so it was better not to tell her.

Now the people of the empire probably think that the brave man is still on his way to defeat the demon king, but in fact, the brave man has died in a very naïve trap.

It's also a coincidence, at that time he had just been expelled from the demon world, and the strong people who accompanied the brave to the demon world also happened to enter the demon world, Felik met them by chance, the situation at that time was very complicated, the other party didn't give him a chance to explain at all, and he fought if he didn't agree. Felik was in a very bad mood at the time, and his magic power had not yet been exhausted, so he killed them all without paying attention.

So, the real truth is –

The heroes of the previous generation and their companions are all dead long ago.

It's just that the news hasn't reached the empire yet.

Knock knock!

It's the sound of a knock on the door.

Who will come at this time? It's already evening, is it time to eat? But everyone in the guild was late for dinner.

The door creaked open, and standing outside the door was a very well-dressed young man, and Felik recognized it as the man who had let him roll away during the day.

"What's the matter?" Felik asked with one hand on the door frame and with a blank face.

Like Felik, Jonah was a little surprised when he saw the other party, but this surprise quickly turned into anger, what is this guy doing in the princess's room? What is the intention of such a lowly and despicable man to desperately get close to the princess?!

The anger boiling in his heart could no longer be suppressed like a volcanic eruption, and Jonah grabbed the other party's collar and asked viciously, "Why are you in the princess's room?" Jonah's gaze seemed to kill.

"Hey! Let me go! ”

Felik squeezed the opponent's wrist hard, but the opponent's strength was greater than he thought, and he couldn't break free at all.

Damn it! If there was no curse, it would only take a split second to kill such a creature, Felik thought to himself.

"Jonah, let him go." Alyssa behind her spoke.

Jonah glared at him fiercely and whispered in Felik's ear, "Whatever your purpose, get me as far away from the princess as possible, or I'll kill you!" ”

"Don't be too arrogant, it's just a knight, are you still in charge of the people around the princess?! And...... It's not certain who killed whom. Felik unceremoniously fought back.

This sentence completely angered Jonah, and he grabbed the shoulder blade of Felik's right shoulder with one hand, and found the bone gap with his thumb and forefinger, intending to remove one arm to teach this unknown fellow a lesson.

Just as he was about to make a move, Alyssa shouted, "Jonah! Let him go, he's my invited guest! ”

Alyssa's tone was so harsh that Jonah had to stop, and he snorted coldly and pushed Felik against the wall.

"I will report your exploits in rescuing the princess to Your Majesty, and there will be corresponding rewards for your efforts, until then, just wait patiently here."

Jonah said coldly to Felik, there was something in these words, and Felik knew as soon as he heard it, and the other party's general meaning was to let himself stay here honestly and not have restless thoughts, so that he could get some benefits, otherwise he would not be able to eat and walk around.

Felik straightened out the disrupted collar, looked at the other party coldly, and said, "I'm sorry, I can't do it if I stay here, I will set off for the imperial capital with Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

What the?!

Jonah looked at Alyssa in disbelief and asked tremblingly, "Your Highness, what ......is this?" Is this true?! ”

"Yes." Alyssa nodded.

Jonah turned and stared at Felik viciously.

"You guy! What exactly is the purpose?! ”

Felik put his hands in his pockets, leaned against the wall, and said arrogantly: "Of course, it's to protect the princess." ”

"If you want to protect the princess, it's enough to have us, and it's better for a guy like you to go to the wilderness to hunt demonic beasts." Jonah had something to say.

"Really? I don't know who failed to protect the princess and let the princess be taken away by the orcs? Who sneaked into the misty forest alone and rescued the princess from the border of the demon world? You must know that it is your knight's duty to protect the royal family! ”

Felik is aggressive, striking at Jonah's fragile knightly dignity with every word, infinitely degrading their honor and loyalty, while every word is an irrefutable fact.

"If a dog can't even protect it, then just leave the owner's shelter and find a remote place to die!"

"You!"

"What are you? Am I wrong? Do you want to say that it's not your fault, that the princess fled the imperial capital without permission and gave the orc legion that opportunity? If that's the case, then what's the use of you knights, the Terrans might as well hide in a cage made of fine iron for the rest of your life. ”

Felik smirked, his words vicious but unrefutable to the other.

"If you're self-aware, then just ......"

"Felik, that's enough!"

Alyssa interrupted Felik's unfinished sentence, and even she couldn't listen to it anymore.

"It's really my fault, it's none of everyone's business, the Howell family is the most powerful shield of the Empire, and Jonah is also a very good knight, if I stay in the royal city obediently, or talk to the people around me before leaving, this will not happen. So...... Everything is my fault. ”

Jonah was shocked when he heard this, and did not hesitate to get down on one knee: "It's not your fault, it's all caused by the incompetence of the subordinates." ”

"It's good to know." Felik said coldly.

Jonah's eyes instantly turned cold, and a thought slowly appeared in his heart.

"Your Excellency is right, it is indeed my fault for failing to protect the princess, but I do not think that your Excellency is more suitable to be the princess's guardian than I am."

"Cut, when did you become the princess's guardian again?"

"Hmph, my Howell family, as the shield of the royal family, has always served the royal family. Although I am not the guardian of the princess, I am at least one of the candidates, and since you think you are more suitable to stay by His Highness's side than me, do you dare to have a duel with me! If you win, then what does it matter if I give you a place for this candidate! Jonah said proudly.

Since ancient times, the royal family has chosen their own knights from the five major families, and the Howell family is naturally one of them.

In other words, in the future, Alyssa must also choose a man who is both civil and military as her guardian from the young and handsome men of the five major families, and he will be Alyssa's most loyal and closest subordinate, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a loyal dog.

This is not a pejorative, but a supreme honor.

With a place in the nominee at the table, it's clear that Jonah is absolutely confident in beating Felik.

"Jonah, don't do that!" Alyssa stopped with a voice.

"Your Highness, please don't stop me, if I can't even defeat him, then I am indeed not qualified to serve your side!"

Jonah is bright and upright on the surface, but a discerning person can see at a glance that this is an act of bullying, and a knight family who has received elite education since he was a child has a life-and-death duel with an adventurer born in the wilderness, and the winner is clear at a glance.

As long as the other party does not agree, then he has not won self-confidence, he thinks that he can't compare to him, and he is not qualified to stay by the princess's side.

And if he agrees, then the other party will definitely fail miserably, and it also proves that his strength is not good, and he is still not qualified to stay by the princess's side.

So whether the other party agrees or not, Jonah can get this guy out of the way of the princess.

Hmph, lowly bed bug, how about this trick?

Jonah looked at Felik defiantly.

"Jonah, this is a completely pointless duel, and why should it be a duel to the death? Isn't it okay to have a fight? ”

Alyssa still wants to stop this pointless dispute.

Jonah did not obey his words as before, but said very resolutely: "Your Highness, if you don't even have the consciousness to give your life for you!" That's not worth standing by your side at all! Why, do you dare to take on my challenge? ”

"If you can really transfer the candidacy of the Guardian to me, then it doesn't hurt to accept it." Felik replied.

He also clearly understood that there were too many nasty people like Jonah to count in the imperial capital, and if he couldn't keep those people stinking, then the trouble would never stop.

If you want to defeat this guy, you only need to take a certain amount of magic potion to awaken your demon king's power, then it will be easy to solve the other party.

Jonah was a little surprised when he heard Felik accept the challenge, but he smiled smugly: "Good, then the rules are clear, right?" ”

"Rules? What rules! Felik's eyes flashed with surprise.
