Early the next morning, Alex and his companions waited for the others at the city gates.

When Xingyun and Dinah arrived, they found that there was a sixth-order flame red panther beside Rita, and when Xingyun approached, the red panther suddenly looked at them, and then scratched the ground with its claws in anxiety, letting out a low roar in her throat.

Xingyun paused, and quietly took out the jade pendant that he had bought before from the system backpack that could hide his breath.

The moment the jade pendant was taken out, the flaming red panther glanced at the two of them suspiciously, and then sniffed around, only to find that the powerful aura that had just made it restless suddenly disappeared, as if it had hallucinated.

"Ace, what's wrong with you?"

Rita is the daughter of the Duke of the Nolan Empire, known as the "Imperial Capital Rose" in Nolan, and is a real proud daughter of the sky, and she has never lacked various cultivation resources since she was a child.

This sixth-order flaming red panther was specially captured by the Duke and given to his daughter as a sixteenth birthday gift, and it fits well with Rita's fire-attribute magic.

Finding that her war pet Ace was not in the right mood, Rita hurriedly touched its head soothingly and asked what was wrong.

The flaming red panther flicked its tail in frustration, not knowing how to communicate with its owner, feeling as if it was feeling wrong, and finally just pushed Rita with its plush head to indicate that it was okay.

King Claude, in order to show his sincerity, sent a group of knights with them, and when the last man, Brewer, arrived, they set out.

Unlike when Xingyun brought Dinah out, they encountered several demonic attacks not long after they entered the forest.

Generally speaking, the periphery of the forest was basically filled with ordinary beasts or first-order demonic beasts, and even ordinary hunters could hunt on the periphery of the forest, but this time it was the fourth- and fifth-order demonic beasts that were supposed to live in the deeper part of the forest.

Alex waved the big sword in his hand, and the sword crackled with blue-purple electric light, and every swing would bring out a piece of electric light, and the fourth-order green wolves in the range would be attacked.

Rita stood not far behind him, and when a green wolf dodged an attack and wanted to sneak up on Alex, a fireball would hit the green wolf with precision, and Alex, who was relieved, would make up for it in time.

Of the remaining three classmates, two stood by Rita's side to protect her, and the other rushed to the front like Alex, and they cooperated very tacitly.

Dinah looked at the few people who were fighting with the green wolf, especially Rita, who looked like a flame goddess with a staff, and her heart was a little sour.

She didn't want to look anymore and looked down at the tips of her shoes.

"What's wrong with you?"

Hearing the inquiry of Xingyun next to her, Dinah subconsciously shook her head, seeing that Rita released a wall of fire to block the attack of several green wolves, she still couldn't help but ask, "March, am I useless?" ”

"Why do you say that?"

"Because...... Because not only can I not help Alex, but I need his protection......"

Alex was very concerned about her along the way, worried that she was too tired, and when she was attacked by a monster, she also asked her not to run around, and she rushed to the front, which was completely a drag.

But Rita is different, she has good combat power, she can fight side by side with Alex, not only does not need his protection, but can also protect him in the rear, so that he can devote himself to the battle.

Looking at the tacit understanding between them, it is obvious that it cannot be cultivated overnight, it must have gone through many run-ins to achieve what it is now.

Dinah suddenly realizes that she doesn't know Alex's life at the academy at all, and the gap between her and him is getting bigger and bigger.

She couldn't help but wonder, can such a self really be worthy of Alex?

"It's a little useless."

Xingyun's words made Dina turn her head to look at her suddenly, obviously not expecting the other party to speak so bluntly.

"Your talent is not in magic combat, and you are definitely lagging behind in this regard, but not everyone is a combat genius, and not everyone is suitable for martial arts. I think Dinah, you must have something else to do, more than the others. ”

Xingyun had heard Dinah say before that she didn't have a magical talent when she was five years old, and her bones were not suitable for martial arts training, so she was just an ordinary little girl who was more beautiful.

Xingyun's words made Dina have a shy smile on her face, she bit her lip slightly, and couldn't help but say to Xingyun: "I sing very well, there used to be bards who wanted to take me as a disciple, but at that time he didn't know that I was a princess, and I secretly ran out of the castle at that time......"

Dinah and Xingyun talked about her childhood, and the battle on the other side was over, Rita wiped the sweat from her forehead, and saw Dinah talking to the female swordsman with a smile on her face, and snorted coldly.

"We're here to kill the monster alive or dead, it's good that she's here for sightseeing!"

The other two students glanced at each other, and their eyes were a little helpless.

Rita was born with a good background and high talent, and there were many people chasing her at school, and even several princes frequently showed favor to her, but unfortunately this "Imperial Rose" turned a blind eye, and a heart fell on the "poor boy" Alex.

For this reason, Alex was troubled many times in school, but the other party's talent was also surprisingly high, and those difficulties not only did not defeat him, but made more and more people see his ability, and finally was accepted as a disciple by the Sword Master.

Alex once said that he had a girl he liked, but that couldn't stop Rita's enthusiasm.

In addition, Alex has a good personality and is very gentlemanly to the lady, although he rejected Rita, he still regarded him as a friend, which made Rita feel that she still had hope.

Originally, when they heard that the girl Alex liked was given to the black dragon, they thought that maybe Rita's chance had come, but they didn't expect the girl to come back safely.

Looking at Rita now, she doesn't look like someone who will give up easily, and it feels like Alex will have a headache in the future.

Hey, like them, they don't get a headache if they want to, and they don't have the same life!

They dug out the green wolf's core, and Alex put the corpse into the spatial ring.

Seeing Alex's spatial equipment, Dinah's originally somewhat recovered mood was depressed again, and even her father did not have such spatial equipment.

Alex noticed that something was wrong with Dinah's mood and wanted to ask what was going on, but Rita called him again, saying that he would discuss the rest of the road.

He could only keep the matter in his heart for the time being, hurriedly admonished Dinah a few words, and then walked over to Rita.

They encountered several attacks on the periphery, but once they entered the depths of the forest, they made a smooth journey.

"Looks like there's a problem."

Alex said to Rita as he looked around warily.

He thought, even if it wasn't a dragon, it must be a very powerful high-level demonic beast!
