Chapter 17 - Little Fairy
"Whether it's big or not, we've got to get the damn into it. After all, whether we like it or not, we are already caught up in this plan. It's impossible that we don't want to participate if we don't want to. Lu Ming said to the others very seriously.
Sham nodded in agreement and added.
"By the time we knew about the plan, the Grand Duke probably saw us as part of the plan. Just like when Lu Ming first arrived in Paris City, there was nothing but Yu Saha's protection, but the Grand Duke sacrificed my father for Lu Ming. This is for Lu Ming's understanding of soul magic. The Grand Duke needs this simple and straightforward magic, so whatever the price is! ”
"The question now is why the Grand Duke wants undead and soul magic. For the sake of force, or do you want to understand the essence of the soul through these, so as to live forever. ”
"Immortality is unlikely, with my father's character, he is afraid that he wants to get the existence of the undead, which is almost impossible to die, as an army in some larger plan."
Lu Ming's fingers tapped lightly on the table next to the chair, and after thinking for a while, he said to Viscount Saldaro: "Now is not the time for us to intervene in this plan. We must now improve ourselves to ensure that we are not swallowed up by this plan. ”
"So, what should we do?"
"Start the investigation from the periphery first, and rely on the Viscount's status as the son of the Grand Duke to protect ourselves. Wait until the strength is enough, and then make other plans. ”
"Okay. That's all there is to it. ”
"Excellent! In the past few days, we have stopped investigating the plan, and then resumed the investigation after this very suspicious Warcraft Assisted Battle Contest is over. ”
"You're saying this contest is part of the plan?"
"Almost. At the very least, it's also used to pick someone. Lu Ming nodded.
“”――
Early in the morning, Lu Ming, as he did yesterday, took Kanina, Princess Ella, and some of Princess Ella's guards into the woods outside Calythorp Town, preparing to practice with magical beasts such as magic rabbits.
However, there are a few new members in this team today. They are Viscount Saldaro and his crescent wolf, and Ella's Pokemon Kirbymon, which was delivered from Agamemnon in the middle of the night.
Just as everyone began to train, and Saldalo began to hurriedly command the crescent wolf to use the wind blade to hunt birds and monsters, Lu Ming was using his notebook to write down the skills of Ella's Kirbymon.
"A little girl, how can you use a big stomach? Or is it just rich and capricious? While recording the skills of Kirby Beast one by one, Lu Ming couldn't help but complain!
"Kirby!" Maybe he heard Lu Ming complain, and the one-and-a-half-tall Kirby beast slapped a big tree!
"Do you have a lot of self-esteem? It seems that the personality is okay, but this skill is "Looking at the Kirby beast like a big bear expressionlessly, Lu Ming glanced at the skills recorded in his notebook and sighed.
"Bumping, slapping, trampling, megaton boxing, belly drumming, freezing punching. It's all a strong attack skill, and there is neither a ranged skill nor a combination of sleeping and snoring"
"What's wrong? Is such a skill bad? The big bird on the side didn't make it, but Saldalo, who was pecked, walked over with a depressed face, accidentally heard Lu Ming's self-talk, and couldn't help but ask with some doubts.
Lu Ming turned his head and looked at Saldalo without saying a word, until he saw that he was furious in his heart, and then said, "Congratulations, you are not the worst." ”
"What do you mean! Teacher!! "Kirby~!"
As soon as Lu Ming's words fell, Princess Ella and her Kirbymon immediately screamed.
"Forget it. Stinky flowers, roads, let's go deep in the forest to see. Forehead, Lu Ming, who had no way to do anything about this noble disciple, sighed heavily, and walked towards the depths of the woods with stinky flowers and roads.
I can't afford to provoke, can't I still hide?
However, Lu Ming, Stinky Flower, and Lu Er had only been walking for five minutes when they realized that something was starting to become wrong around them.
The trees that used to be normal have become dead trees like ghosts and ghosts that are used to create a terrifying atmosphere in old cartoons.
It's just this kind of thing, and it scares children like Kanina, Ella, and Yu'er Sika who haven't grown up, and it's of no use to him, to Stinky Flower, and to those who don't even know what these things are.
"Is this sight trying to scare us to death by our own fears?" Looking at the sky, which was obviously early in the morning, but it had become as dark as late at night, Lu Ming was listening to the movements around him with his ears while muttering to himself.
Suddenly, from a clearing not far away, there was a slight noise. It's as if something has stepped on a dead branch!
As soon as Lu Ming heard the slight sound, he immediately ordered the stinky flower: "Stinky flower, sleep powder!" ”
Suddenly, a large amount of blue pollen was sprinkled from the stinky flowers, completely covering the place where the sound came from.
But the illusions around him did not stop, but became more and more real.
The dead trees around them began to cry as if they had turned into tree spirits.
Both Lu'er and Stinky Flower involuntarily approached Lu Ming, wanting to get protection from him.
A few seconds later, there was another faint sound not far away.
"With the speed at which the stinky flower's sleep powder was covered just now, even a centaur like that wouldn't be able to dodge. That said, the guy wasn't here at all. Although this voice is not an illusion, our judgment of the position is biased."
At this time, Lu Ming had already sensed why the sleep powder of the stinky flower had not hit before, so this time he was confident that he would not repeat the mistakes of the past.
"Stinky flowers, sleep powder!" When the sound of stepping on a dead branch sounded again, Lu Ming immediately reflexively pointed to the opposite direction from which the sound came, and ordered the stinky flower.
"What!?" At the same time as the stinky flower sprinkled a large piece of sleep powder, a child's exclamation suddenly came from the place Lu Ming pointed to.
As the sleep powder spilled, the surrounding deep forest quickly returned to its original state. A dead tree like a ghost, but it has become a tree full of life. The sky, which was as dim as the middle of the night, was also brightened again.
And in the place covered by sleep powder, a little girl wearing a black Hanfu also appeared.
She was about the same size as Kanina, but she wasn't as tall as Kanina. The black hair and the Asian face shape of Lu Ming's previous world made Lu Ming, who had seen the old European face on Miracaisa's side, involuntarily feel a little kind.
It's just that why this kid wants to play tricks on himself, Lu Ming doesn't know. Moreover, Lu Ming didn't know if this kid was Musberheim's killer or spy.
Sitting down under a big tree not far away, Lu Ming, Stinky Flower, and Lu Er waited for this little girl of unknown origin to wake up.
After waiting for about five minutes, the little girl in the black Hanfu broke free from the influence of sleep powder and slowly woke up.
"Who are you?" Seeing that the little girl woke up, Lu Ming immediately asked. It's just that he didn't use Mira Kaisa, but in Chinese.
Because of the Hanfu on the little girl, Lu Ming subconsciously because the other party is also a traverser. pity
"What did you say?" The little girl who had just woken up and was still a little dazed couldn't understand what he was saying at all.
"What's your name?" Sighing slightly, Lu Ming, who was a little disappointed, changed back to Mira Kaisa and asked the little girl again.
"I told the little fairy to wait! Why should I tell you?! After subconsciously saying her name, the little girl immediately reacted, and turned to look at Lu Ming with a vigilant face.
Lu Ming smiled slightly, and said with bad intentions: "Because if you don't say it, you will die!" ”
"Woo~!" As soon as he heard this, the little fairy couldn't help but be startled and hurriedly ran back. But as soon as she turned around, she crashed into Lu Ming's arms all of a sudden!
Slowly raised his head, and saw that Lu Ming was looking at him expressionlessly, and the little fairy was so frightened that he fell to the ground.
"Why are you trapping me with illusions?" Squatting in front of the little spirit fairy, Lu Ming pulled out the Ilusil straight sword at his waist, put it on the little spirit fairy's neck, and asked in a cold voice.
"There was a nobleman who asked me what to do, saying that he would give me a large sum of money."
Hearing Xiao Lingxian say this, Lu Ming knew that Muspelheim's people were going to attack him, but there was no one else around. What is the purpose of letting the little fairy do this?
"Why would he want you to do that?"
"I don't know, but" An inexplicable smile suddenly appeared on the little spirit fairy's face, which made Lu Ming slightly startled and hurriedly stepped aside.
"You can't save those people in time!" After speaking, the little fairy suddenly disappeared.
And Lu Ming also knew what those guys were going to do through Xiao Lingxian's last words.
"Damn it!" Lu Ming scolded in a low voice, and hurriedly ran in the direction where he came with the stinky flowers and the road.
The purpose of those people is very simple, they want to hold him back, so that they can get enough time to attack Ella and them, so that the Grand Duke can execute him for failing to protect the princess and let her be attacked to death!
Running in the woods, Lu Ming gritted his teeth, scolding the nobleman who came up with this plan in his heart, wishing him to die immediately because of the rotten sores on his body!
"Kanina, Ella, you two can't be fine!"
The comfort of his daughter and Princess Ella, who is related to her net worth and life, is what Lu Ming is most worried about now. After all, one of them was his daughter, and the other was an important person who could decide whether he would be executed or not. Even if there is only one thing, he can't accept it.
