"Master, should we arrest her first? You should be able to ask something. ”

Stephanie asked over there.

"Don't worry about her for the time being, let's settle Kevin's matter first."

Natsu hides the sniper in the corner:

"Come and recycle the things, and look for me in the house in a moment."

"Master, what are you doing in the house?"

Stephanie's voice was tense.

"Go see Kevin, there's something I need to ask him face-to-face."

Natsu came down from the roof and sneaked all the way to the hallway, and there was some movement in her earplugs.

There were gasps and occasional sighs, but joy could be heard.

"The other party is a five-turn swordsman, and I don't know if I can fool him by stealth."

Natsu came all the way to the door of the room, and there was a sudden silence in the earplugs.

It's been discovered!

Her heart was as bright as a mirror.

It seems that stealth is not a safe means of approaching powerful people, and it is easy to spot.

"Whoop......"

This was the voice of the white wolf on alert.

It turned out that it was not discovered by someone, but by the wolf.

Natsu removed the earbuds and straightened up.

Kevin turned off the image ball in his hand, turned his face slightly, and swept his gaze behind him.

"Is my grandfather dead or not?"

A cold voice came from behind him.

Kevin's body shuddered.

It's been a long time. He replied in a hoarse voice:

"Is that you, Your Highness?"

The man was silent.

"Shhhh

A spark appeared in Kevin's hand.

"Hold out a hand, please."

He slowly turned around and looked at the man standing in the doorway.

Natsu saw the thing in his hand that shone with fire. Apparently a magic prop.

She took her gloves off and held out a hand forward.

"Boom!"

The prop let out a low roar, and a dazzling flame erupted from within, burning into her hand.

The color of the flame is slightly white, which is several times more powerful than ordinary flames, and it will leave traces even if it is burned on steel.

It was like that delicate hand was about to turn into a piece of charcoal, but something strange happened.

The menacing white flame suddenly disappeared out of thin air. It's like being swallowed up by something, completely disappearing from this world.

"Your Highness!"

Kevin has one hand on his chest. Got down on one knee and bowed his head deeply.

Natsu put his gloves on and didn't reach out to help him or get him up, but stood there quietly.

Seeing this indifferent reaction from her. A flash of joy flashed across Kevin's lowered face as he stood up from the ground.

But after standing up, his expression suddenly became extremely stern:

"Herald! No one is allowed to come near this place without my orders. ”

There were a few soft sounds in Xia's ears, and it seemed that in addition to those soldiers, there were also some secret guards

"You're so unalert! Your Highness. ”

After waiting for half a minute, Kevin opened his mouth, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he counted:

"Do you know how many people are looking for you in the whole kingdom? Actually appeared in Pampol so openly. I'm not a safe place here, the city is full of eyes and ears! ”

Xia was a little stunned by his scolding:

Shouldn't this situation be a big cry and a sad reunion? How did it suddenly become a reprimand scene. I can't be on the wrong set.

"You haven't answered my question yet."

She said in Xia Yuan's tone, a little apprehensive in her heart.

If it weren't for the fact that it was too important, she wouldn't have met Kevin at all, and her hand was on the hilt of her sword all the time as she spoke.

She doesn't have many hole cards to deal with this kind of five-turn swordsman, and her biggest reliance is the nameless sword technique.

Even if it is not charged. The Nameless Sword Technique can also cause considerable damage, and it shouldn't be a problem for her to escape from here.

"It's not something you should know. At least not yet. ”

Kevin's chest rose and fell violently, and even with his control power, it took a long time to calm down:

"If you want to go north, I can get ready below."

When he said this, his face was a little unwilling:

"I can see that His Highness's current strength is beyond what it used to be, and there is an unfathomable powerhouse by his side to protect him, which is obviously more suitable for the outside world than staying by my eye-catching old fellow's side."

"But one thing must be remembered!"

His expression became extremely solemn:

"To go to the north it is better to go directly into the forest, rather than to the mountains on either side, which is no longer accessible to humans."

He took a piece of paper from his body and handed it over with both hands.

"Magic Crystal Reserve Volume? Ten thousand? ”

Xia was a little surprised when he saw the numbers on it, and didn't reach out to pick it up.

According to the current ratio, 10,000 magic crystals are already 1.48 million gold coins, which is a huge amount of money wherever they are placed.

"The thief is right, I don't have much wealth compared to those nobles with fat brains."

Kevin sighed:

"These magic crystals are already all the savings of a poor old man like me, Your Highness, you have never suffered much, and life must have been very difficult for more than a year......

He looked at the shabby swordsman uniform on Xia's body, as well as the rough mercenary-style boots, and his nose couldn't help but sour:

"We old guys have never given you any gifts, these are the pocket money we owe over the years, go buy some clothes you like, and delicious ......"

He forced the reserve scroll into Xia's hand.

Holding the magic crystal scroll that still carried body temperature, Xia felt a little heavy in his hands, and a warmth surged in his heart.

"Stephanie, take out that golden scroll."

She said in her head.

“……”

The black-clothed little Lori, who has always been a fan of money, rarely said anything this time. After a while, a piece of paper flew in through the window.

Xia reached out and grabbed it and put it on the table:

"I dressed like this to make my move unobtrusive. It's not because of lack of money. ”

Kevin looked at her movements and shook his head secretly in his heart:

Young people love face...... It seems that even this cold highness is not exempt from vulgarity.

"I've heard that there's been some trouble in the fortress lately."

Xia said:

"That's why the North Gate is closed?"

"It's not because of the mess that I didn't open the north gate."

Kevin dismissed her speculation:

"In the past few months, strange things have happened around the fortress, not only have people often disappeared outside the city, but some villages and police posts scattered around have also disappeared for no reason, and now those previously safe areas have become dangerous areas, and no one wants to approach them at all."

Speaking of which. There was a hint of fear in the eyes of this battle-hardened veteran general:

"That's why I won't let you go to the mountains, I'm sure...... There must be something terrible there. ”

"Wouldn't it be a human being? Like the people who created that riot. ”

"Nope. Although I didn't fight that man, he was very measured against the soldiers, and the Gna garrison that sent airships to chase him down did suffer heavy casualties, and none of my people actually died. People don't offend me. I don't offend...... Such a person should not go down to innocent residents. ”

Kevin smiled bitterly:

"To be honest, although the breath on the mountain is very unknown, I dare to have the courage to investigate, but I never want to see this person again, he is simply a guy who cannot be inferred by common sense."

"Is he strong?"

Xia was a little curious, but his voice remained cold.

"I can't see it."

Kevin shook his head:

"It was a teenager with short white hair...... His attacks may not be very powerful, but no amount of weapons or magic can hurt him, and the attacker will be hurt by himself; The energy fluctuations detected by the instrument are arcane, and this person is likely to be an arcane mage. But I've never heard of such a means in arcane. ”

Arcane mage?

Xia suddenly thought of the pauper mage who had disappeared.

"No, it shouldn't be him."

She quickly reversed her judgment:

Even if Sadonan hadn't died on the island, he wouldn't have been so strong for more than a year. Arcane is a very esoteric science, and there must be no shortage of strong people on the continent, perhaps someone else's work.

"Got it."

Xia replied coldly.

Although it is a little rude, this is the original character of the first heroine.

"I'm relieved that you never do anything superfluous."

Kevin says:

"I'll close the enchantment and alert for the time being, and you can go out on your own. I'm sure the soldiers and the walls won't stop you. ”

He looked at Xia's white hand and asked with some hesitation:

"You're ...... now. What is the realm? ”

"Sword King."

Xia didn't say all his strength.

"It's so fast......"

A smile welled up on Kevin's face:

"It doesn't seem it will be long before you reach the level I am now. Three years, five years? You'll be able to walk freely on the continent then, but for now, it's better to keep a low profile. ”

He said the same thing Wendy had said at the beginning.

Xia gave him a deep look.

Although she has a lot of questions in her heart now, the other party's attitude is there, obviously she doesn't want to tell her the truth, and it is difficult to change her mind with this kind of old stubbornness.

"I'm leaving."

She actually wanted to talk to the old man more, but Natsu's personality dictated that she couldn't stay here for a moment, because Natsu was a person who would never do anything superfluous.

This superfluous thing, of course, also includes emotions.

Xia has never had such a thing as emotion, although Kevin doesn't know this as well as her, but he can also feel a little clue, but he should only think that she is an indifferent and ruthless person, and he won't think too much.

Kevin's face tightened:

"I'm not a magician, I don't have anything good for you." He looked at the prop in his hand: "This kind of Cheng dù's toy is of no use to you, so I won't be ugly." ”

Natsu nodded and jumped out of the window.

"Herald, let her go!"

After giving this order, Kevin suddenly seemed to be ten years old, took a few steps back, and sat down on the couch.

The white wolf was very psychic, and jumped up beside him and sat down, his furry head resting on his lap.

It was a long time before a low voice came from the room:

"Her Royal Highness Princess...... Take care. ”

On the roof outside, Xia looked at Kevin, who was full of tears in the scope, and handed the sniper to the little Lori in black.

"It turned out to be an old tsundere."

She muttered.

"Master, do you want to go?"

Stephanie put away the sniper gun, pinched the corner of her skirt and said:

"That...... Can I go get some wine......"

Previously, Xia forbade her to drink alcohol for a month, but did not say that she would not be allowed to take the wine bottle.

"Go ahead, it's okay if it's empty, I'll go find the red-haired woman first."

Xia Dadu said.

"You are the best, host! Are we going to bite those people with skulls before we leave here? ”

Stephanie flew excitedly into the house:

"Those three people seem to be bad guys, and they should be innocent......"

"Don't bother Kevin."

Xia vetoed her suggestion:

"You can't hold things when you're invisible, and they'll notice it if you move a little bit when you get closer, you think that the top powerhouses in the continent are so easy to plot, the skull can only break the spell defense, and the Protector Knight and the Sword Saint are both partial to the physics department, don't be beaten and cry and run back when the time comes."

"Got it! Master. ”

The little Lori in black has already flown away, and it seems that the temptation of good wine is greater than anything else.

"Congratulations, the continental hegemony system has officially been opened."

Xia was about to jump in the direction of the mansion when a system prompt popped up.

"What's that?"

She opened the page in confusion.

"Power points? Reputation? ”

She looked at the two values that had lit up on the gray page, and now they were both 0.

At this time, the soldiers outside the mansion and the magicians in the air began to disperse, and Kevin walked out from inside.

He changed his expressionless appearance before, but became more energetic, drew the whip from his waist, and flew into a horse.

"General, carriage ......"

A soldier next to him shouted.

"Don't sit down! Hahaha......"

The sound of horses' hooves sounded in the silent streets, and the old general suddenly let out a burst of laughter, and the horse disappeared into the night, and the laughter was so joyful, which contained a domineering spirit of the past. (To be continued) R655
