Chapter Ninety-Two: I Can't Provoke, I Can't Provoke
Chapter 92
Tori's panicked face was reflected in the scarlet eyes, drops of cold sweat slowly flowed down her forehead, Tori held the corners of her clothes with both hands and didn't know what to do, Diana was a head shorter than Tori, so even if Tori wanted to lower her head at this time to avoid the cold gaze, she couldn't do it, there was nowhere to hide, nowhere to escape.
It was hard for Tori to believe that the expressionless person in front of her, the air around her seemed to be frozen by her, was the little girl who often smiled with her on weekdays, and when she was stared at by Diana, Tori even had the illusion that these eyes were far more dangerous than the crocodiles outside.
"Diana, your hand ........."
Looking at the machine-made left hand, Tori's lips trembled.
"As you can see, I was cut while covering the princess, but the strange thing is that I don't resent her at all, maybe I can't afford to mess with her because she's a princess."
Diana took a step forward, and Tori subconsciously took a step back until she was leaning against the wall of the central hall, her hands resting on either side of Tori's shoulders to keep Tori from leaving.
"I, I can't tell you."
Diana raised an eyebrow
"Why?"
Tori took a deep breath to steady her heartbeat and looked directly into her ghost-like scarlet eyes
"It's to protect you, that person didn't provoke you."
Tori's face showed an extremely sincere expression, and she and Diana looked at each other without evasion.
"Oh, well-then"
After letting go of both hands, Diana's tone was full of pity, but there was also a hint of happiness in it.
Tori's original evaluation of the Imperial Princess Roland was no more than the noble Flower of the Empire, not as straightforward as she is now.
This made Diana even more curious about what kind of big man wanted to target himself like this, and went around in such a big circle just to pull himself into the water, a poor and white child.
"Huh? Shouldn't you keep asking? ”
Diana's willingness to give up the question so easily surprised Tori, and she even prepared a draft of several thousand words to convince Diana, who was so popular that Tori felt powerless.
"Sister Tori, you said that I am the one I can't afford to mess with, why do I have to ask further, even if I know, I can't do anything, and if the person you are talking about knows that I know it, I can't guarantee that it will not take some action against me."
Diana had always been a good person, and she still remembered what she had told herself before she took over the task and left the house.
Looking at Diana Toli, who was so knowledgeable about current affairs, she smiled helplessly
"Although it's not the first time I've said this, I can't help but sigh, Diana, are you really a twelve or thirteen-year-old child?"
She patted her chest, which was slightly heaving.
"This body is more than ten years old."
"It's like you have more than one body, by the way, you haven't told me where you learned alchemy, and I'm afraid a high-level alchemist can't do it to your point, right? You don't even need to refine into an array, such a big bridge and buildings can be made out with a clapping of hands! With this ability, you can say goodbye to D-class missions completely! ”
Mercenary missions? Diana: She doesn't want to deal with those tasks in her life! She has already thought about it, and when she is short of money in the future, she will go to work for real estate in the other world, although the public people trust the construction quality of the earth magicians, but all the real estate merchants are old foxes, as long as there are no major problems and no flaws can be seen on the outside, it is enough to fool some ignorant people.
And when Diana's asking price was much lower than that of an earth-based magician, those real estate dealers didn't ask grandpa to tell grandma to come to Diana?
"Let's talk about it later, now let's get out of here first, the crocodiles have all been chased out, and with Elaine and the head of the house escorting, it won't be difficult for them to leave Reims Town."
Diana and the others went outside, and the whole town of Reims was pitch black, except for the half of the full moon in the sky and a few burned houses.
The roars of crocodiles and wolves were no longer heard, and even the survivors who had fled on foot were nowhere to be seen.
Diana once again erected a stone bridge leading to the gate, but unlike the design concept of wanting to put practicality first, this time there are even some beautiful patterns carved on the stone bridge, and the exquisite circuits make Tori a little dazzled, and the handrails on both sides of the bridge are also carved with stone lion statues.
"The bridge ......"
"It's nothing, it's just an ordinary overpass, let's go."
……………………
"Captain! We've been on the road at full speed for almost a night! I'm afraid the griffons are reaching their limit! If we continue like this, even if we reach our destination, they will have very little combat power! ”
Two hundred kilometers away from Reims Town, there is a group of griffon knights flying to Reims Town in the sun, they are members of the Second Griffin Knights belonging to the Empire, last night they suddenly received an urgent order to rush to Reims Town, which is on the edge of the empire's territory, where it has been invaded by demonic beasts and warriors from the abyss.
Their mission is not to save the people or deal with those crocodile warriors and monster tides, all they need to do is to investigate everything that happens here and report it to the empire as soon as possible.
"Notify the whole team to use the blue potion!"
It is a stimulant-like drug, made of some kind of weird blue vanilla, which can make the animal forget about fatigue and squeeze energy for a short time after use, and the after-effect is that after the effect of the drug, it will feel twice the fatigue, which is a very simple equivalent exchange.
"Yes!"
………………
"Where's Diana!? Where did she go!? ”
The two teams converged in the woods outside of Reims, and the trees were so tall that it would not be easy for the crocodiles to search here without any impunity when they could perfectly conceal the presence of humans. In addition, the wolves, who are the original inhabitants, have avoided getting lost.
However, there seems to be some discord within the team. At this time, the middle-aged director who was in charge of the top shouted loudly at the uncle of the guard. If he hadn't known what had happened, the people around him would have thought he was worried about Diana's safety.
"I don't know, everyone just ran away and didn't notice her."
The director of the Mediterranean stomped his foot in frustration. He felt that he should hurry away from the other side of the forest now, lest the crocodiles chase after him in the long night.
However, the wolf king, who is a husky, doesn't seem to regard this middle-aged man as a matter at all, and leads his wolf pack to rest over there.
In its words
"I helped you for the sake of Sister Diana, but now that she hasn't come out yet, you want to abandon her and run away, it's not appropriate."
