Chapter 158: A Delicate Girl in the Cold Wind
"It's really boring~"
Fong Bun College, outside the chapel.
Dressed in a wide nun dress, Rie stood at the foot of the stone steps, jumping up and down one by one, and smiled from time to time. After jumping to the top, I jumped down with great interest, and the several stone steps became a good object for Rihui to spend time.
After going back and forth several times, Li Hui not only did not feel bored, but even more excited, jumping around happily.
"Lady Rie." A figure appeared above the stone steps, and his gaze, which was difficult to detect emotions, swept over Ri Hui and shouted softly.
"The first public mission, the 'Mana Unleashing Suit' will appear in three hours, and I would like to ask Lady Riche to tell Saber, Lancer, Archer, and their Masters about this."
ββ¦β
When I looked up, I saw the cold and serious looking face of the machine spirit, and he was also quite a boring guy. Moreover, I said that something very interesting would happen, but when I came here, I was bored all day long.
However, did you just say that you are going to start your first public mission? Li Hui's face still bloomed with a bright smile, and she slowly walked towards the machine spirit.
"Finally, things are going to start to get interesting..."
β¦
A wooded area on the outskirts.
"Three hours later, the first public mission?"
Sitting on the grass covered with blankets and placing baskets with sandwiches and other food, it looks like an outing.
However, this is not the time to go on an outing, but to collect and plant fires. It's just that not long after the process, I was told important news by the sudden appearance of Jiu.
"Two hours and fifty-five minutes later, to be exact." Nine continued, "Rider and Assassin have been notified since they were told about this by the machine spirits, and finally came here to inform Caster. β
"I'm sorry for the slight delay." Jiu said this to Chino while bowing slightly.
"No, there is no need for an apology at all... And it's not much less time. Qian Nai paused, and after looking at Lord Lie, he asked, "So, where is it?" What is the mission? β
"'Combat suits' compete for missions." Jiu gave a detailed explanation, and said the location, time and other information very clearly.
ββ¦β
"So, Jiu left first." Noticing that the Admirals had understood, Jiu took a step back, and his figure became illusory in an instant, and then disappeared, as if it had not existed here just now.
Fortunately, everyone has become accustomed to Jiu's way of appearing and leaving, and they are no longer as amazed as they were at the beginning.
"Lord Lie, we..." After Jiu left, Chino and everyone's eyes fell on Lie's body.
ββ¦ Public mission..."Lie looked at Chino... To be precise, it was the white combat uniform that Chino was wearing at this time.
As for the role of the combat suit, it was not very clear yesterday, but today I experienced it myself.
ββ¦β
According to the arrangement set in the morning, after doing the gem magic in the morning, I went to the suburbs to collect and plant fires. The so-called collection can also be said to fight, and then get the loot.
Planting fire is a very strange name, Lie has always wanted to complain, but he has no chance... Ahem, the fire is a high concentration of magic power that can be absorbed and used by the servants.
Very sensitive to magic, the Servant can detect the location of the fire... It was a small space enveloped and influenced by a high concentration of magical power.
What Lie and his party need to do is to find a small space where the fire is located, defeat the ferocious flame spirit, and obtain the fire that can be easily absorbed.
The good news is that there are no different types of fire, so it's the same for any servant.
The bad news is that the power of the fire demon contained in each seed is not fixed, and it is unknown whether it can obtain a 'big fire' or a 'small fire'.
So, under the induction of nursery rhymes, it was found that fires in the urban area were very rare, but there were many in the suburbs. So, everyone took their luggage together and took the car to the suburbs.
(So, that's why you dragged your family to the countryside for a picnic?) β¦ He asked while eating melons. οΌ
The Flame Elves looked very intimidating, and after fighting, they found that... It's really amazing~!
In a certain battle, because of the dispersion, Chino, who is the master, was targeted by a flame spirit. In retrospect, I was scared that Chino was attacked by the Flame Elves without defense.
It was a very hot attack, and although Lie felt that he could dodge, if he was hit head-on, he was afraid that it would be troublesome (eh, just troubleβ_β?). οΌγ
Unexpectedly, the protective ability of that white combat suit was really good, not only improving Chino's physical strength, but even resisting a magic attack of a flame elf.
Obviously, for the Master, the battle suit is the item prepared by the machine spirit to quickly increase its combat effectiveness.
Ordinary combat suits that can be changed at will have such a good effect, and I am even more looking forward to combat suits with special abilities.
ββ¦β
"Of course we're going." After being in a daze for a moment, Lie put his hand on the skirt and said with a smile.
"Combat suits are very important items, so if you have the chance, you have to fight for them as best you can... Moreover, every public mission is when you meet your opponent. β
Chino raised her small hand and asked a question at the right time.
"However, the time we agreed to meet with Fangchuan coincided with the start of the public mission... There is also a considerable distance between the two places. β
"It's okay, let's just get in touch again." Lie took out his phone... With such well-developed communication, remote communication becomes an easy task.
ββ¦β
"Dudu Dudu~, hey, is it Fangchuan-san? Gui'an..."
"Gui'an, Lord Lie?" On the other end of the communication, Fang Chuan's sweet voice came, and at the same time, he responded with some preparation: "Lord Lie called here at this time because of 'public mission', right?" β
"That's right, we..."
ββ¦β
After discussing it, Lie took back his phone and looked at the girls around him.
"Okay, let's change the place where we meet, it's right where the 'combat suit' appears, and the time is earlier..."
After everyone knew about it, they started collecting fires again...
"Master, there's a smell of fire at three o'clock." Zero raised his little hand and reminded.
"Huh? Does Zero perceive magic? At three o'clock, isn't that..."
"Not perceptually." Zero shook his head, paused, and continued, "Now, Master can feel it, right?" β
Just as Zero said this, a flame spirit running from far and near was standing behind Lie with a very high temperature. It can be expected that the next moment there will be flames devouring from top to bottom~!
"Roar~" (Probably the language of the Flame Elves, difficult to understand.) οΌ
When the flame elves discovered their prey, they immediately attacked, and the raging flames instantly pounced on the blanket where Lie and Lie were.
After a burst of spray, the flames dispersed, and the girls who had just been surrounded by the flames were unscathed. Seeing that the flame elf had stopped, the nursery rhyme launched a high-speed proclamation, and several earth thorns sank into the body of the flame elf, instantly turning into a prison.
The Flame Spirit roared, spitting out flames again, and then they were all blocked by an invisible barrier around the Lie Clan. The nursery rhyme quickly performed several more magic tricks, and after a toss, the flame spirit disappeared and turned into a ball of flame.
Chino stood up, stretched out her hands to the 'fire', and held it in the palm of her hand. Immediately after, the flames disappeared, which was included in the battle suit by Chino.
This is another use of the battle suit, which also has the ability to preserve the fire, otherwise the magic contained in the fire will dissipate little by little.
Before going on a public mission, try to collect fires... Come on, girl~! (Encouraging tone.)
β¦
An abandoned factory on the outskirts.
As the first public task, it was really chosen in an inaccessible place, and it was more convenient to deal with the aftermath.
"Is this it?" Ako bent over and entered through the dilapidated gate of the abandoned factory, always feeling that her surroundings were too quiet.
"Yes, yes." A girl followed behind Azi, holding a map in her hand, and said to Ako in front of her: "It's already in the place, let's just take away the 'combat uniform' and complete the mission, right?" β
"Hmm." Ako turned around and walked through the gate of the abandoned factory to an empty courtyard.
Because of the winter season, the temperature outside is very low, especially in the suburbs, which is even more chilling... Hey, it's cold, why are you still wearing such a revealing outfit, cough cough, why are you still wearing a summer dress?
Opposite Azi, a young girl is putting away the map in her hand, and she is wearing... Oh my God, that's a sailor suit!!
With waist-length long hair and a slender figure that looks weak, the moment I saw her, I had the feeling of wanting to take her into my arms in the cold wind.
The most important thing is that in such cold weather, I went out with only a sailor suit! β¦ How about putting on a coat (just add a coatβ_β?)
Shinjira milkγUnbelievable... It's blood-pumping.
"Lancer, it's out of season, isn't it?" After looking at the girl opposite, Yazi couldn't help but complain: "On the way here, because of Lancer's costume, it has caused a serious traffic jam, and there are even scouts visiting..."
"Ah~, this proves that Qingji is loved by everyone~" Qingji squinted her eyes and said happily: "Little Qingji, big victory~!" β
ββ¦β
Elegant~, cute~, beautiful~γ... There is no doubt that this girl who looks very dignified and virtuous makes people unconsciously feel close.
It's just that it's not easy to say your real name as a servant, right?
Yazi looked at Kiyohime helplessly, since her real name has been exposed, there is no need to hide it... Moreover, even if it is made public, it is nothing, as long as it is strong enough.
"Because of the various incidents caused along the way, I arrived here twenty minutes later than expected... In other words, if it weren't for the last overseer, Li Hui, to carry out the 'aftermath', there would be no way to leave the city now, right? β
"Hee-hee~"
Yazi sighed, no longer dwelling on this matter, and looked at the current situation.
ββ¦ Although it came later than expected, it seems that he was the first to arrive..."Yazi looked around and said softly, "The 'Magic Release Battle Suit' will appear in ten minutes, we must hurry." β
"Got it, got it..."Kiyohime looked at the abandoned factory unhappily, with an abandoned factory on the left and an abandoned half-demolished building on the right.
At this time, it is located in the open area behind the gate, and if you look closely, you will see that this abandoned factory does not occupy a very large area, and it is not known where the 'combat suit' will appear.
The only information I know is that it will appear in an abandoned factory and that it will emit magic when it appears.
"Hmph~"
Kiyohime is in a good mood, because she hasn't come out to see it for a long time, and she is very happy to be able to breathe the fresh air in the suburbs, humming a little song as she walks.
"Anyway, let's take a look around the neighborhood first, shall we?" Yazi asked Kiyohime behind her, "Is it okay to go to the factory area over there?" β
"No, Kiyohime wants to rest here." Kiyohime shook her head, looked around and said, "The rest of the place looks very dirty. β
ββ¦ All right. Yazi nodded, and said as he walked forward: "Then Qingji is resting here, and Ako will go around for a while, which can be regarded as knowing the terrain in advance before the battle." β
ββ¦β
After a brief conversation, Ako went to the factory area to investigate, and Kiyohime remained where she was.
Ten minutes later, when Yazi came back from a rough look, the air around him moved. The clear sky above the abandoned factory distorted slightly, and a swirling cloud appeared in everyone's eyes.
A strong magic appeared in the sky above the abandoned factory, and after a burst of wind and clouds changed color, it fell silent again, and everything just now seemed like an illusion.
It's just that everyone doesn't realize that it's an illusion, because the goal of the public mission, the "Magic Release Battle Suit", has appeared in front of everyone~!
To be more precise, it appeared in front of Kiyohime's eyes, and the place where the battle suit landed was the open spot behind the gate.
"Yay~" Kiyohime happily took a step forward, picked up the battle uniform, and said at the same time: "In this case, the mission is completed, right?" β
Well, if Kiyohime and Ako leave like this after that, this public mission will indeed be over.
"Be careful~!" Kiyohime was carefully examining and evaluating the battle suit in her hand when she suddenly issued a warning and quickly rushed towards Ako's position.
Several chocolate soldiers with swords appeared around Ako out of thin air, and immediately slashed at her.
"Bang~, bang~...", Qingji arrived in time, and what she was holding in her hand was... Pike~!
ββ¦β
"No wonder, it turned out to be Lancer, just now I wondered why there was Hercules, and there would be Kiyohime, and she was wearing so much... Summer vibes. (A slight muttering sound is heard in a corner somewhere)
ββ¦β
"Hmph~, sure enough, there are enemies in ambush nearby." Ako was not surprised by the sudden attack, because until the appearance of the Dao battle suit, no group of masters and servants were found on the scene.
The biggest possibility is that the master and servants have arrived a long time ago and are ambushing nearby.
"However, our luck seems to be better." Ako took over the 'Magic Release Battle Suit' from Kiyohime, I'm afraid the other party didn't expect that the items to be fought for would fall into Ako's hands in the first place, right?
