"'Gray Wolf Mercenary Group', is it the mercenary group that Miss Qian used to be?" The daughter of the Earl of Yanbao, Dilferry, sat on a high-backed chair, closed the book in her hand, looked at the girl in front of her with gentle eyes like water, and asked.

Akane nodded, she arched her back, her sharp canine teeth biting her lower lip and reaching for the strap of the knight's armor there, her white fingertips fiddling twice but without success, "Dilferry, help me get it." ”

Dilferre reached out and took the strap and placed it in the former's hand.

"Thank you." Akane breathed a sigh of relief, her fingers wrapped around the strap, expertly tied a knot, then picked up the soft leather armor on the desk beside her, put it on her head, reached her hands behind her slender neck, and pulled up her long red hair, which spread out like a waterfall of flowing flames.

She tugged at her long hair with one hand, and with the other she wrapped a few laps of blue ribbon around it, knotted it, and tied it in a long ponytail.

Ovina leaned against the doorframe, her hands folded, and watched Akane get ready.

"Are you going to be away for a long time?" Dilferry asked, looking up at Akane's back.

"Hmm."

"What if the Earl comes back in the meantime?"

The curve of the girl's back stiffened slightly, she shook her head slightly, picked up the breastplate from the ground, staggered the two leather bands around her back, and then wrapped them around her strong waist, tightened them, and fastened them together with metal locks.

Then came the backplate, and she turned. Looking at the girl cowering in the chair.

Dilferrey was wearing a black gauze dress, her skin was so white that there was no trace of blood, and the muscles of her legs were somewhat atrophied. It was frighteningly slender, her arms were equally slender, her waist was almost a pinch, she held a large book in both hands, and her whole body was leaning against the velvet cushions of her chair.

Her face also looked a little thin, and the forbidden spell burned her last remaining life force like an appendage, but it seemed to be some kind of compensation in the dark. The light in the girl's eyes became brighter and brighter, like a deep lake reflecting countless stars, and the stars were burning one by one. It's as if the whole person's energy is going to spring up from it.

Akane hesitated for a moment before she stretched out her backplate armor and asked her with her eyes.

Without hesitation, Dilferi took it, and she took a breath. It's a bit heavy.

Akane turned. Dilferrey propped himself up and pressed the deck against the curve of the latter's back, the former raising his right hand and holding the straps on his back with his left hand, which were fastened one by one to one side of the breastplate, and then to the other.

"Dangerous in the Black Forest?"

"Well, in the Black Forest near the fir collar, not after midnight. There is no danger at all. ”

"It's a credit to Lord Earl."

"Hmm."

Akane was a little silent.

"The Earl has asked Her Royal Highness Princess Kiara for a favor for me before I leave, after returning to Sifah. She kept her promise, and now Levin. His Highness O'Neson's envoy had arrived at Swallowburg, accompanied by the frigates Sheffield, Hurricane, and Vasa; A few days ago Princess Griffiin gave me a letter saying that my father, though he had been placed under house arrest by my brothers, was fine......"

Dilferrey propped up his back plate armor and babbled in a soft tone.

"Congratulations, Deerferry." Akane was also a little sincerely happy for the other party in her heart.

"But this is the second favor I owe the Earl."

"My lord, he doesn't care." Akane replied.

"But Yanbao can't think like this, otherwise it would be ungrateful, I represent the glory of the family and have the obligation to sacrifice for the family."

"But you've sacrificed enough."

Dilferrey felt her hand loosen, Akane had secured her back plate armor, she picked up the Azure Spear on the desk next to her, wrapped around the body of the gun a few times to prevent the sweat from slipping on her hands—and then turned to look at the other man.

"I'm leaving, Dilferry."

Dearferrey was stunned for a moment.

"Do you want to go deep into the Black Forest?"

"It's a little farther away than usual."

"That would be doubly dangerous."

Akane shook her head: "With the fire invented by Mr. Tamar, it is now very safe to explore in the Black Forest. ”

"Don't lie to me, this expedition itself is experimental, isn't it?"

Because Antitina did not suppress the news of the birth of a new fire, which spread with unimaginable speed and became known to the entire fir realm in a short time, it was foreseeable how much of an impact it would have on the world of order when it spread to Ampesel and even further north.

However, in contrast to the rapid spread of the news, the progress of the experiment was slow, and the new fire was only tested a few times in the vicinity of the Black Forest in the past week, and the staff lady sent several troglodyte expeditions, but the results were satisfactory.

The task of the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group is not only to go deep into the Black Forest to find the war slate that fell into the south of the Ring of Trade Winds, but more importantly, to obtain first-hand data on the new fire in the depths of the Black Forest, which is a crucial part of Tonigel's plan.

Of course, this is quite risky, Antitina has approached Akane in private several times to communicate, hoping that the latter will not go in person, at least not to lead the team in person for the first time, but they have all been rejected one by one.

Akane's rare assertiveness and stubbornness seem to remind people that she was one of the few captains in the gray wolf mercenary group.

Dilfery's words made her think of something, thinking that the other party was also a lobbyist sent by Antitina, Akane frowned slightly, and just wanted to speak.

But the next words of the daughter of the Earl of Yanbao surprised her:

"Take me, Miss Akane."

"Huh?"

"I'll go with you, okay?"

"Miss Deerferry......"

"I haven't seen the Black Forest yet, did I tell you? Yanbao is not on the border of civilization, in fact, I have always been full of yearning for the world outside the world of order. ”

"But that's not going to work, your body."

"It's not going to be a drag on you."

Dilferry smiled playfully at Akane, and she tapped the armrest of the chair with her pale and slender hand, and the high-backed chair immediately jumped up on all fours and walked around the former.

The mountain girl was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth, and stared at the cheerful chair with wide eyes.

"How about the activation chair, I made it myself?"

"It's ......, but ......, no," Akane shook her head vigorously, "No, no, I can't take you on an adventure." ”

Dilferrey looked at her pitifully and blinked her long eyelashes.

"Yanbao ...... over there"

"Princess Kiara will take care of it."

"Why?"

"Didn't I say it, Yanbao owes the Earl two favors, I can only think about paying back the last one first, I will help you, I will summon demons."

"Summoning demons?" Akane was taken aback, what a forbidden spell is in the mortal world, on the other hand, Brando did help Count Yanbao's daughter keep her mouth shut.

"Well, you should know that in the world outside of Order, demonic spells are very useful." Dearferrey stretched out an arm, and a little devil with fleshy wings climbed up from behind the chair, jumped onto her shoulder, and then followed her slender arm all the way to her palm.

The daughter of the Earl of Yanbao held up the little thing, put her other hand into a fist to her mouth, bent down and coughed heavily, before she raised her head and said to Akane: "This is the little devil, the scientific name is Imp, its real name is #4072NA78S, it can sense the existence of magic flow, magic is one of the main components of the world, especially outside the territory of order, in the area where the flow of magic is disordered, it is easy to appear monster nests, if you have the help of the little devil, I can help you avoid those large nests." ”

"But ......"

"I also need the Fountain of Youth, don't I, it only exists in the depths of the Black Forest, and I'm also exploring for myself."

"But my lord said he would help you."

"Then I owe him three favors, I don't know how to pay it off, and my identity doesn't allow me to marry him, not to mention Miss Qian, right?"

Akane felt her face burn, she felt that the other party had definitely said that on purpose, and the bright eyes of the daughter of the Earl of Yanbao were full of cunning light.

"Even if you say so......"

"Even so?"

"Damn, I agreed, I shouldn't have dealt with you cunning city dwellers in the first place, Antitina asked you to come, right?"

"Miss Akane isn't stupid at all." Dilferry chuckled weakly.

The mountain girl stomped her foot in exasperation, turned around and walked out of the room.

Owena, who was nestled against the doorframe, shrugged her shoulders and followed the former down the stairs from the outside.

……

"Aloz, forward, don't stop, watch your left flank."

The dragons spread out like swifts in a storm, staggering and scattering forward.

Streams of golden light advanced through the dark storm, and countless crystal clusters fell from the sky like raindrops, falling heavily on the ground and falling to pieces.

At this time, the front of the Cruz people on the ground erupted in cheers. Duke Rena watched the scene behind the rows of Imperial knights, his gaze through the tips of his metal spears, the cold wind passing through his temples and gently brushing the gray beard on his cheeks.

This was the second time the dragons had passed over the Meklu River, and as they swooped down with their wings outstretched, the flames spewed down from mid-air like a waterfall of golden-red lava, plowing out several blackened intervals in the tidal crystals.

Hold back the onslaught of those monsters alive.
