Chapter 10 Gathering Strength III.

"I'm sorry." After Lucila secretly wrote down the name "Roxanne" in her heart, she also seemed to realize her gaffe, not to mention that there was something more important now, so she quickly let go of the hand holding Penelope.

"It's fine." Penelope rubbed his chin, put his hand on Lucila's shoulder, squeezed it and asked, "Okay, tell me why you're here." ”

"I'm here for your help." Lucilla changed her posture from hooking up with Penelope at this time, and instead stood opposite her, and said solemnly......

"Ahem, ahem!!"

Penelope, who froze all over, came back to his senses after listening to Lucilla's words, and then choked on the chewing cigarette in his mouth, bent over and coughed violently, until he spit out all the tobacco residues in his mouth before standing up straight, and at the same time took a few steps back, as if to confirm whether the person in front of him was really Lucilla, and said in a slightly changed tone, "To be honest, you really scared me......"

Leto, who was standing behind Lucila, saw Penelope's reaction, his eyes lit up, and he was glad in his heart: it seems that most of the fighters are still normal and will not go crazy with NO.1 and NO.2...... Thinking of this, Leto secretly glanced at the "Penelope of Steel". Although he understands that even if he joins forces with the current NO.4, it will not be possible to take down Lucila, but once the fight starts, she will contain Lucila head-on, and she can at least find a chance to slip away.

Just as Lucila quietly put her right hand on the hilt of the sword behind her, and was about to use Lucilla's tried-and-true "demonic tone", Penelope's next action made her almost fall to the ground.

"The first time I saw you, I knew you weren't as 'well-behaved' as you looked." Penelope shook his head, refilled his mouth with a chewing tobacco, and sighed with nostalgia, "I think something big will happen someday, but I didn't expect you to make such a big deal." ”

"So, what's your choice?"

"How can such a big event not take me." Penelope grinned and stretched out his hand towards Lucy, "Besides, I like Harleen and Sunny...... Someone has to collect this debt, doesn't it?

So - I joined. ”

"Thank you."

Lucila also stretched out her hand, and after the two of them shook their hands tightly, Penelope rarely didn't take advantage of an inch, but chose to take the initiative to let go of Lucila's hand, and then walked up to the stunned Leto, and reached out to touch her face with a smile, "Baby, the wink you just threw made me panic, and you helped me deal with the awakened one before, I know your thoughts......"

……

When the moon was in the sky, Elizabeth lay on her back in the lake with her eyes closed, and her long hair was scattered and her body drifted in the lake. Suddenly, she opened her eyes as if she sensed something, and turned over in the water, revealing the white skin on the surface of the water, which was like a layer of silver-white light under the light of the cold moonlight, and then she kicked her legs and turned her whole person into a big glowing fish, and in an instant she swam to the shore, and with one hand she pulled out her cloak from the neatly stacked clothes, and wrapped it around her body like a bath towel, and with the other hand pulled out the great sword that was inserted in the side.

"Who!" Elizabeth questioned sharply, and a sword stabbed into the woods, and the sound of gold and iron colliding. Elizabeth's swordsmanship was known for its magnificence and fierceness among the warriors, but now even if she used all her strength, she couldn't help the people in the shadows, and the more she fought, the more she felt like she was stuck in the quagmire......

"Canaan?!" Elizabeth distanced herself and retreated into the woods to see the person as she had expected.

Canaan, who was recognized by "......", seemed to be at a loss, obviously this kind of appearance was beyond her expectations, and she was silent for a while before she said in a stiff tone, "Elizabeth! ”

This revenge-seeking shout of his name, Elizabeth raised her eyebrows. Then Canaan turned his face sideways, and his irritated face could be seen even in the night, "Something to ask for!" ”

Elizabeth was stunned for a moment, stuck her big sword on the ground with one hand, pressed it on her forehead with the other, and sighed as if she had a headache, "What kind of disease are you guilty of?" Elizabeth said, brushing her long wet hair back, and asked rhetorically, "Also, are you asking for such a thing?" ”

"......" Canaan was silent, she was the kind of person who was not good at talking, and it was the first time that she had begged for someone to "rebel". Although she thought about all kinds of words along the way, she actually got to Elizabeth and her mind was a mess, and she couldn't say such an unreasonable request at all, and finally returned to the question of "begging attitude", she gritted her teeth, and was about to kneel down with her legs bent at her knees.

"Alright, alright. I'm afraid of you, I'm like a bad person. Elizabeth stepped forward and grabbed Canaan, muttering in an angry whisper, "Well, I am the only one who will pity you...... Say, what's going on? ”

……

"Thank you for joining us."

The entrance of a small town in the north-central part of the country. Lucilla, who had been waiting here for more than a week, extended her hand to Elizabeth.

"Come less." Elizabeth impatiently pushed away Lucila's hand and glanced at Canaan beside her, "I only came here for someone's face, and I haven't agreed to go crazy with you......" Elizabeth said, squinting at Leto next to Lucilla, "However, I was surprised that you were able to pull this guy in who can only protect himself." ”

"......" Leto looked up at the sky, and now she didn't want to explain anything, because she was one of the core of the "rebel group" in everyone's opinion. And now even the NO.5 Elizabeth appears here, which means that half of the top 10 rankings have fallen to Lucila, and she is "coerced" from the thief and has no power to return to the sky, so she can only resign herself to fate......

"We're running out of time."

Lucilla was not polite either, handing over several drawings to Canaan and Elizabeth respectively, "Five days ago, Penelope had already gone to District 8 to find Fioma. Now Canaan you go west and go to District 7 to find An, and Elizabeth you go northwest to District 12 to see if you can find Fasi......"

"You've done a lot of preparations." Elizabeth looked at the hand-drawn map in her hand and teased meaningfully.

You must know that although the agent of the fighter has the task of monitoring the fighter, it is more about providing logistical help to the fighter, and the most important job is to "navigate" the fighter, so most of the fighters are also happy, as long as they listen to the agent to go in what direction and walk for a few days. Lucila is different, she not only the leisure that others think is "superfluous", but also keeps recording "more than that...... Now that he has done this kind of thing, if it is not premeditated, who will believe it.

"And Leto and I will go east...... In short, after finding the person I was looking for, I distributed the map and continued to search the neighboring areas separately, and the time limit was only one and a half months, and when the time limit was reached, no matter what the progress was, I would go to the town of Giessen, which I marked on the map. ”

"You seem to have forgotten the new NO.3, right? Or is 'Lucyla the Lovable' not confident in recruiting her? Elizabeth looked at the map, planning the next itinerary in her mind, and kept asking, "The ranking is silent, and the most unacceptable thing is that she doesn't even have a title, and there is no way to know what kind of unique skills she has......"

"We only have one chance." Lucilla, who turned to leave, turned around, "We must gather all the forces that can fight, and we must eliminate all the destabilizing factors." She has great potential to win the No.1 title, but she is not suitable for this war, because this war needs a 'veteran' who has been on the battlefield for a long time and has tacit cooperation. ”

……

In a noisy and lively town, a few men who were considered to be close friends of wine and meat pushed open the door of the tavern with their shoulders on their backs, and were surprised to find that the tavern that was full in the past was now as empty as a haunted person.

"Dale! You're here todayβ€”"

Among them, it seemed that the leading man had just opened his throat and yelled at the boss, when his friends next to him scrambled to cover his mouth and dragged him out of the tavern in a hurry.

Looking at this scene that kept repeating itself today, the tavern owner at the counter, whose face was also like a ghost, glanced at the female guest who was "smashing the field" in the corner of the tavern with an extremely vague resentful look, and looked at the big sword she was holding on the side without tears.

At this time, the door bell rang again, and the shopkeeper, who involuntarily calculated the loss, felt a pain in his heart, but when he saw the visitor this time, he suddenly wanted to laugh, and at the same time a cold joke came out of his mind: What is more unlucky than a silver-eyed witch in the store? Answer: Advance into two.

Penelope chewed tobacco in his mouth, walked in four directions to the "chartered" warrior, pulled open the chair opposite her, sat down sideways, reached out and knocked on the table: "Wake up, stop playing." ”

The warrior, with his long, fluffy curly hair and a colored forehead tied around his forehead, ignored it and continued to fiddle with the cards on the table. Penelope lifted Erlang's legs, pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "I don't feel tired of pretending to be a ghost all day long." ”

The warrior didn't say anything, but finally took the time to look up, and she had dark eyeshadow under her eyes and lips painted the same color.

"Well, it's tiring to talk to you." Penelope leaned heavily on the back of his chair, "Why don't you figure out why I'm looking for you?" Fioma. ”

"Recruitment." Fioma flipped over a card that depicted a knight holding a banner in one hand in a shouting outfit while the centaurs around him were approaching him.

"Oh?" Penelope seemed to be a little interested.

Fioma then flipped over another card, watched the two groups of knights swinging their swords at each other, and muttered, "A great battle is coming." ”

"There are two hits." Penelope gave her a thumbs up, "Worthy of your name as a 'witch'." ”

Fioma ignored her and continued to flop, froze when he saw the cards, which depicted many hands grasping the robes of a man on horseback, as if they were trying to pull him off......

Beads of sweat dripped from Fioma's forehead, and his eyes were staring upwards at Penelope, who was grinning, "You ......"
