Chapter Ninety-Eight: I'm Panicking Now
"Okay, okay, Liliana don't laugh either...... Ahem, we all have to understand this kind of thing! β
With a slight cough, breaking the strange quiet and embarrassing atmosphere, Mo Chen slightly deflected his gaze to look at the false scenery outside the window, pretending that nothing had happened just now.
He said casually:
"So- get straight to the point, Erica, why are you here? I guess you didn't move to a new house, move next door to me, and then come over to say hello, right? β
What, isn't this guy trying to see me at all?
Because of the "ugly" just now, the blonde girl's emotions can't calm down at all, let alone stay calm, want to be elegant, and want to be generous......
The mental preparation she made before she arrived, the momentum she mustered -
All of this, all of it, was shattered as if it had been directly destroyed by a sledgehammer.
As for the culprit of all this, it is, of course...... The blonde girl glanced angrily at Liliana, who was beside her.
The girl with long silver-brown hair was standing with her hands folded in front of her, her expression straight, her eyes not squinting, as if she had not seen anything, heard nothing.
She was in an extremely orthodox maid stance, but she acted like a true knight of high moral character.
However, perhaps because of some kind of self-inflicted psychology, Erica always felt that this nemesis must be secretly making fun of herself now, and it was definitely not as calm and natural as she appeared.
After all, if you put yourself in another position and swap the roles of yourself and Liliana, you will definitely laugh...... That's why it's so damning! It's all to blame on those old guys, if it weren't for convincing them, how could he not have come here until now!
Why can't those people who get in the way explode on the spot!
ββ¦β¦β
The thought in her mind was quick to turn, but Erica was not slow to react, she took a deep breath, then got down on one knee, put her right hand on her chest, and made a knightly salute.
But after opening her mouth, she was stunned several times without succeeding in uttering a clear syllable.
The girl suddenly found that she had thought about everything, but she hadn't thought about the name of the guy in front of her, which seemed to be a problem that didn't need to be considered at all, but when she really faced it, she found that it was the most headache.
"Get up, it's the same as before, I'm not used to you like this......" Mo Chen said indifferently, snapping his fingers lightly, making the blue light film in the air disappear.
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
Erica hesitated for a moment, then stood up, and when she saw this, the girl with long silver-brown hair on the side raised her eyebrows.
Sure enough, there is a friendship, have you known each other before? Speaking of which, she had also heard of it, and it seemed that this king had already appeared in the eastern part of the country earlier.
During that time, there were always some disasters of great scale, which made the mysterious side of Europe quite concerned, thinking that the god of disobedience had descended or a new king had ascended the throne......
They even sent people to investigate, after all, even if this kind of thing can't be interfered with, at least the basic situation must be grasped.
I heard that the "King of Swords" was also interested, so I ran over there, but I made a lot of chickens and dogs, but in the end I didn't find anything. Come to think of it, they already knew each other at that time, right?
However, this one seems to be a little special, either he was not the supreme king at that time, or he had some ability to hide his own peculiarities, so that even the same kind of godkillers could not detect it.
This is also the main basis for the origin of those two speculations in the magic world.
But at the end of the day, no matter what the new king came from, and whether he was using them before or not - once the southern European magic community still regarded it as a joke, mocking the other party's incompetence, and now his face is swollen.
Everyone silently swallowed the words and thoughts back into their stomachs, pretending that nothing had happened.
- None of this is important, the important thing is now, it's the fact, the other party is already the supreme demon king, and he has known Erica before, although there may not be any deep friendship, lifelong friendship or anything......
But in a situation where everyone else is unfamiliar, just being "familiar" is already a great advantage.
Therefore, thanks to the quick reaction of his own bronze black cross, the judgment made was decisive enough, and this time he was the last to take the lead.
Otherwise, when the Bronze Black Cross reacts first, they will really have a hard time...... Liliana was sincerely glad that this time, the decision of the Magic Association behind her was correct, and there was not much dissatisfaction in the first place, and a lot of dissipation dissipated again.
Moreover, in a short period of contact, she found that the other party was not those strange and unapproachable demon kings.
It's not like the former alliance leader, who makes people feel angry all the time, and they can't wait to kill him first, nor is it like the marquis and the black prince with a twisted personality, cruel and terrifying......
So, what's there to be up to? I couldn't hope for more, Liliana sighed silently in her heart.
ββ¦β¦ I have come on behalf of the Bronze Black Cross, in the name of the Association itself, and not in my own name. β
Deciding to ignore the annoying question of the title for the time being, Erica settled down and said with a very serious and cautious look.
"Oh? So, can you represent your magic association? β
Mo Chen restrained all his expressions, folded his hands on his chin, and put on a look of wishing to hear about it.
Erica did not hesitate and said with great seriousness: "Yes...... On behalf of our bronze and black cross, I swear allegiance to you, and as long as you are willing to accept it, your will will be our wish from now on! β
ββ¦β¦β
Mo Chen blinked, but didn't speak, just turned his head to look at Liliana not far away.
Because this passage is very familiar! I just heard it once not long ago, and the difference is that the "bronze black cross" in that passage should be replaced with a "bronze black cross...... Looks like it's not been half a day yet, right?
Could it be that these ancient knights and the like have their own set of templates, which are common on specific occasions, and they can be used directly by changing the specific nouns in them?
However, instead of answering, he looked at Liliana's actions, which clearly misunderstood Erica.
The blonde girl gritted her teeth, then clenched her fists and said in a voice like music, as if she were swearing an oath:
"All the people of the Black Cross will obey you, become your sword and shield, guard your honor, defend your dignity, and pacify your enemies......"
After a slight pause here, as if she had finally made a decision, she raised her head and stared straight at the person opposite, and then whisperedβ
"Of course...... I also belong to you. β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
Mo Chen's expression, who was thinking about something, instantly froze, and he looked at Erica suspiciously, and then at Liliana next to him.
"I'm sorry, it was too windy just now, so I didn't hear clearly...... What did she just say? β
Liliana's eyes widened in astonishment, and she looked at the blonde figure as if she had known her old enemy for the first time, and then she heard a strange question from someone.
The girl with long silver and brown hair also turned her head to look out the window, the sun and the garden outside seemed vibrant, but everything was false, as if it was a frozen landscape painting.
The branches of the trees near the windowsill of the study were also stationary, not even slightly shaking...... So, where did the wind come from?
However, since it is the king's question, it still has to be answered. Liliana opened her mouth and thought back to the words she had just heard, hesitated slightly, and her fair cheeks were slightly flushed:
"This ...... Just now, Brandy, she said it seemed to beβ"
"Wait! Needless to say...... Ahem, I've got it, so I accept the allegiance of the Bronze Black Cross! Mo Chen had already covered his forehead and raised his hand to stop the question.
After he reacted, he inexplicably found that deep down in his heart, he didn't think there was anything strange about this matter at all, after all, with Erica's character...... How can I say that she is more brave and proactive than boys?
Once the goal is confirmed, it will persevere in its pursuit and take the initiative to attack, never letting go, and it is impossible to divert ...... In a sense, she is actually a very good girl.
It's just that when he encountered such a thing, Mo Chen suddenly felt troubled.
Emmmmmβ¦β¦ Let's not talk about this for a while, just ignore it for the time being, the current focus is that he finally has two magic association manpower in his hands that can be directly mobilized.
If you send them over to explore another world or something, can you set a model for the magic world to see, and dispel their unnecessary vigilance and vigilance? Buying horse bones, outdated stories do not mean that the truth will also have a shelf life.
This is also the reason why he did not hesitate to directly accept the surrender of the two magic associations.
"Ahem, since you have asked so sincerely, then I will be merciful enough to take you in...... It's just that anyone can say beautiful things, but to prove your worth, you can't just say it. β
Directly skipped the troublesome topic just now, Mo Chen put on a serious face and said to the two of them.
"I guess you know what I mean, right?"
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
"Please." Γ2
At this moment, even Liliana knelt on one knee, touched her chest with one hand, and said very respectfully while saluting.
And the two of them spoke in unison and collided in unison, which made them both subconsciously glance at each other, and sparks faintly sparked in the air...... The real competition has begun!
They didn't have any objections to Mo Chen's words, or rather, it made them feel at ease.
The magic world is not cruel, but it is definitely not warm, and only by being able to show your true value can you find your true position.
Serve the gods of ancient times and pay homage to the demon king...... This is the survival of all knights and magicians......
A few minutes later, the two tat girls all left, and they had to go back to report the situation as quickly as they could.
Even though it's a completely unrelated mission, they all see it as a - the other side is an old enemy, whether it's her or the association behind her, so how can they lose?!
The room was quiet again, Mo Chen exhaled softly, and then knocked his forehead with a little headache.
But just then, the door opened again.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, looked up, and then smiled: "It's a bellflower, what's the matter, have the enchantments been set?" β
The shrine maiden who walked in with an expressionless face nodded slightly, and then stared at him with those cold eyes: "It's basically done, Hitomi is better than me in this regard......"
"Yes, yes?"
Mo Chen, who was stared at by her and felt uncomfortable, laughed a few times, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart.
By the way, when did she come over? I didn't seem to notice it at all!
The expression on his face did not change at all, and Kikyo looked at him calmly, and then said lightly as if without any emotion:
"Why didn't you just give her an answer? This should only be good for you, no harm, right? β
"......" Mo Chen's expression froze, and he felt an inexplicable chill.
