Chapter 9: Gathering Strength II.

"NO.1 and NO.9 have lost contact?"

In the dim grotto chamber, Lemoto, who was sitting on a stone chair, had his right hand fist on his face, looked at Lu Lu and NO.9's agent who was standing below to report, and asked with a lifeless expression, "How long has this been going on?" ”

NO.9's agent was nervous and couldn't speak, and he looked at Lu Lu with a 'you say', Lu Lu didn't shirk, and simply answered the leader's question, "It's been two months now." ”

"It's just a simple task to clean up the portal... What the hell are the new NO.1 and 'Eye' doing! And what are you doing to eat! Among the commentators who sat side by side with Lemoto, a cadre at the edge of the seat muttered a few words, as if he suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Was it killed by that Gray?" After all, the mission location can be said to be next to the 'forbidden area'. ”

"It's very unlikely." Standing by the wall to listen to the headquarters stationed in the black-clothed people, the black-clothed man who was in charge of intelligence aggregation raised his eyes and said, "Recently, our eyeliner has passed through the 'forbidden area' to confirm that the number of 'loot' collected by Gray has not changed. (Gray's "Great Sword Cemetery" for his warriors is apparently believed by the organization to be showing off his exploits.)

"In short, whether it is NO.1 or 'eye', its importance is self-evident." The cadre sitting next to Lemoto rubbed his hands, "I suggest that all intelligence resources be immediately concentrated to search for the traces of NO.1 and 'Eye'. ”

"Let's go out with NO, 10." The cadre sitting on the other side of Lemoto added, "Grisi's wide-area demonic perception is not inferior to 'eye'. ”

"Okay, that's it." Lemoto nodded slightly, made a decision immediately, and then said lightly to Lu Lu and the agent of the 'eye', "You two will fully cooperate with the intelligence department and NO.10." ”

The agent of the 'eye' hurriedly said yes and turned to leave, glad that he had escaped this time. However, after walking a few steps, he found that his brother was still standing in place.

"Anything else? Lelu. Lemoto's brow moved.

"I feel that this incident is not so simple." Lu Lu put one hand behind his back and said calmly, "If we still wait and ignore it, we will probably pay the price for it." ”

"I still like to make amazing words." One of the cadres shook his head, revealing a look of impatience that 'here it is again', "Although the agent needs to pay more attention to the soldiers he is responsible for, if it is too much, it will become a worry. ”

"Guys, you should remember the origin of Lucilla's title, right?" Lu Lu smiled and did not refute the cadre directly, but just talked about seemingly unrelated issues, "Although the previous NO.1 Sistina is incredibly strong, but other aspects, especially interpersonal aspects, can be said to have nothing. Lucilla, on the other hand, was not only strong, but also ...... 'all things' also meant 'all things', and when her title was decided, it was because of her abilities, and because she was a warrior who 'had everything' compared to the solitary celestials......"

"Lu Lu, just do a good job of organizing and explaining your things." Lemoto closed his eyes and said, "Everything will wait until the new generation of warriors grows up." ”

"Yes." Lu Lu lowered his head, but the smile on the corner of his mouth curled a little wider, "But forgive me for keeping my opinion." ”

"Whatever you want."

…………

"Oh? If it weren't for the two lumps of flesh on your chest, I would have thought the Order was starting to create male warriors again. ”

In the hilly area where the terrain is broken and disordered, the slope is gently undulating, and the golden beast pupils of the Awakened reflect the appearance of the warrior in front of him: a blonde hair that is no different from an ordinary warrior is tied back into a capable big ponytail, but the slightly angular face, thick and tall long eyebrows, and large, godly eyes, coupled with a tall and sturdy body, is simply the most ideal image of a white horse knight in the hearts of thousands of girls, but the two extra lumps of fat on the chest are enough to break the dreams of those girls.

"Poof-" The 'pseudo-male' warrior spat out the tobacco residue in his mouth with a side face, waved his hand and said to the three fighters behind him, "Baby, stay away!" Don't get in my way! Of the three warriors who were ranked twenty miles away and had little experience in crusades, two of them silently retreated with interest when they looked at each other, only one warrior with a double ponytail and a tear mole under the corner of his right eye, as if he was completely dumbfounded, his lips kept opening and closing slightly, his cheeks were slightly flushed, and his eyes stared at the figure of their captain as if they were glowing, until he was pulled by the other two warriors, and then he reluctantly retreated into the distance.

Sensing that those lower-ranking warriors were far away, the 'White Horse' warrior seemed to be seriously looking at the big bald head of the humanoid awakened person, and the image on it that seemed to be full of needles on his face, she couldn't help baring her teeth and laughing, "Nailhead, are you embarrassed to say what other people look like with your dignity?" ”

"Sure enough, you still have to verify for yourself, whether you are a man or a woman!" The Awakened squinted his eyes, and the dense spikes on his face spurted out violently, but these needles were not completely out of the body, because their tails were still connected like broken threads, and they controlled countless needles to attack the warriors in all directions, like a net with no dead ends, "But my methods of verifying your body are a bit rough, not only to lay your clothes naked, but also to your-"

"Even peel off a piece of my skin, right?" The warrior's eyes have turned golden, and the muscles of the original looming scale of the whole body suddenly swelled and highlighted, facing the tide of needles in the sky, she seemed to have just had time to cross her hands to protect her head and face before being swallowed, only the last words floated out, "The organization before the NO.6 'skinning hand Diane'......"

"Oh, I didn't expect anyone to remember my title." The Awoken wields a needle-prick hook to pull at the flesh of warriors, and it prefers to skin living creatures, whether animals, demons, humans, or warriors...... Then watching the object that lost its skin howl and die, this world is the scene it will be excited every time it sees it, even after awakening, this habit of seeping into the bone marrow has not changed, not to mention the pleasure of releasing demonic energy, it simply makes it addictive.

"Whew...... Oh...... "Just when the awakened felt that they were about to reach the double pole again, they realized that something was abnormal, because they couldn't hook the other party's flesh and skin, to be precise, the needle prick was only shallow on the warrior's epidermis, and they couldn't go any further, as if they were hooking not flesh and blood, but ......

"The world is always impermanent, isn't it?" The warrior, whose body was covered in needles, suddenly quipped. Then he lowered his arms that were blocking his face, and his hands also tugged at the two silk threads connected to the Awakened, "I know your title, but do you know my title?" ”

“!!”

"Intelligence asymmetry is sometimes so fatal." The warrior laughed twice before retracting his smile, "My title is 'Iron Man'!" As she spoke, her hands suddenly exerted force, and in an instant, she tore off the needle and thread in her hand.

"Phew! Looks like I'm going to get serious! The potholes on the awakened person's face healed rapidly, and he was about to exert all his strength, but he felt his body tremble, and then he found that he couldn't move, and before it could break through the stagnation of his body, he saw a figure leap in front of him, and then a silver light slashed from his head to his feet......

"Knock-" The 'pseudo-male' warrior stepped heavily on the ground with his feet, and the awakened one in front of him was split into two halves from the center, and she was bathed in purple blood, she turned her head and looked in the direction behind her suspiciously, looking at her expression, even the three warriors became nervous, and turned around to hold the sword and stand guard.

However, the 'pseudo-male' warrior seemed to feel something, the originally tight muscles on his body also relaxed, and even his eyes turned back to silver, he took out a chewing cigarette from his body and threw it into his mouth, and after chewing it a few times like he enjoyed it, he looked down at the tattered tights on his upper body, and simply tore it all off directly, just naked and did not cover or hide, she herself was nothing, but embarrassed the soldiers present.

At this time, the three warriors also felt it, and looked at the two warriors who had just appeared in the field of vision in the distance, and the warriors who were bare-chested and breast-baring in the real sense thrust their big swords into the ground and strode up to meet them.

"Lucila, I haven't seen you for so long, you're pretty again."

As the two sides approached, the shirtless warrior opened his arms and hugged Lucilla, who appeared here for some reason, "Come and let me hug you, see if you're fat or thin." ”

"Long time no see, Penelope......" Lucila didn't seem to see Penelope's bare upper body, and a body of blood that had just been sprayed by the awakened, hugged her, and at the same time reluctantly took down her hand touching her hips, and then got rid of Penelope's continued entanglement, and said to several fighters who followed Penelope, "Guys Gui'an, and no offense, I have something important, I want to talk to Penelope alone......"

"You really don't look at the atmosphere, so don't go quickly." Penelope then put his arm around Lucilla's shoulders and waved his hand to the three, "Don't disturb our two-person world here." As he spoke, he glanced meaningfully at the oversized light bulb that followed Lucilla, Leto.

The two warriors nodded strangely and hurried away, but the last warrior looked back at Lucilla on the way out. This bold and burning gaze actually made Lucilla feel a little uneasy, because similar eyes she had only seen in the eyes of some men who did not know the identity of her great sword during the "covert operation", and the color in her eyes was more ......

"Who was that warrior with curly hair and tear moles in the corners of his eyes?" Lucilla didn't know why, she didn't get down to business, but asked about the warrior first.

"She. Just like you, a likable leprechaun. Penelope sniffed Lucila's hair with a fascinated expression, "What's wrong with being jealous?" Don't worry, I don't like the old and the new......," Penelope muttered, pouting and kissing Lucila on the face.

"Answer me!" Lucila pinched Penelope's face and stared at her with a serious expression. As Penelope said, the warrior had a sweet appearance, but this beauty made Lucila feel dangerous, like a snake with colorful patterns, slowly entrenched in a kaleidoscope of gorgeous patterns......

Seeing Lucila's scary appearance, Penelope unconsciously stopped harassing, coughed dryly, and said casually, "She is a newcomer who has just enlisted in the army, NO.35 Roxanne......"
