"Stupid, there's no safe place in the wild."

Natsu knocked her on the head:

"Not long ago, I said that I was too alert when I first returned to the mainland, and now I am making this mistake again...... It's easy to fall into a deep sleep when absorbing soul essence, and you can't wake up when the time comes, what if you encounter danger? ”

"Woo......"

The little Lori in black touched the place where she had been knocked on, and pulled her clothes and refused to let go.

Xia thought for a while, hugged her to her lap, scratched her little face with her fingers and asked:

"Isn't there another function of soul extraction? I remember that one of the deceased's abilities could be randomly drawn from the soul essence......"

"But there's still the possibility that you won't be able to draw anything, master."

Stephanie squinted her eyes and rubbed her fingers lightly with her face:

"This black soul ball is likely to be a special class, and it would be a pity if it was wasted."

"Then wait a minute, although there is no absolutely safe place in this world, the forest is too dangerous."

Natsu lifted her into the air, jumped off the branch, and landed lightly on the ground covered in rotten leaves and dirt without making a sound.

"There were too many things to do when I was out of the island, so I forgot to let the technology system make a tights that can cover the whole body, so that I can use wind magic to travel, which is more stealthy than the wings made of flames, and the speed should be much faster, and more flexible."

Xia said regretfully:

"Although they are all hidden professions, the storm mage is more than a step stronger than the swordsman class, both has a good attack range and additional flight functions, and the power is not bad, no wonder the magicians of the same level on the mainland are more difficult than the swordsman."

"No, master, that swordsman class is actually very powerful, but its strength is not reflected in special effects......"

The little Lori in black put away the soul ball:

"The master's strength is actually not worse than others, and even much stronger than ordinary people, but your mental strength and agility are too high, if you don't choose classes like mages and assassins, you are ...... Violent creatures. ”

She and Xia learned a lot of words on Earth, and often used them casually.

"Okay, didn't I already listen to your Jian Yì choose the Void Magister, as for the magic swordsman, it is only temporarily sealed, and when we can appear on the continent openly, I will let it see the light of day again."

Xia asked her to take out the black long knife and try the familiar feel, always feeling that this weapon fits her very well.

Not to mention the appearance of this knife, and it is rare to combine sharpness, sturdiness and demon guidance, she once compared the artifact long sword with the black long knife, and the two are almost the same in terms of sharpness, but no one can draw traces on the other party's body.

If it weren't for her natural preference for sword weapons, and the fact that the black long knife is currently unsightly, maybe she would still be using it all the time.

"But this sword is not simple, it can seal the extremely strong storage zài of the seventy-two pillar demon gods, and there are special effects that can prevent demonization."

Thinking of this, she suddenly realized a problem:

The dagger that could not be pulled out was obtained from the baron.

The Baron was an assassin himself.

――So the black soul orb that drops after killing him will be a pretty powerful assassin class?

After this thought came to her mind, she felt a little excited:

"Stephanie, remember the canyon we found in the forest?"

"Master, do you mean the underground forest?"

Stephanie thought for a moment and replied.

"That's right."

Natsu handed her the long black knife:

"In my hometown, there is a peculiar topography, where volcanic eruptions tens of thousands of years ago formed huge craters on the surface; The rocks on the inner walls have been weathered and eroded over a long period of time, turning many materials, including volcanic ash, into fertile soil, and the birds that fly over the crater sow the seeds of various plants, which eventually form a dense jungle inside. ”

"Master, do you want to ......?"

The little Lori in black seemed to understand what she meant.

"Didn't I let you go down there the last time we stumbled upon that subterranean forest, and there are still traces of volcanic activity deep underground, and there is not a trace of life there."

She recalls when she first went on an underground expedition:

"There are no monsters, no enemies, even the air is extremely hot, I originally wanted to find some volcanic creatures from another world, but I didn't find anything, it was a completely dead world."

She sighed and said:

"It's not interesting, but it should be a fairly safe place, and it's not too far from here, why don't you go there and use this soul orb?"

"That's a great idea, master!"

The little Lori in black hugged her waist:

"My detection range is not limited by the terrain, if the master is hiding deep underground, even if there is danger, I can prepare in advance, the master can also use the magma to arrange some fire-based defensive magic arrays! That's all it takes. ”

"This is natural."

Xia said with some pride:

"When it comes to magic skills, I'm a lot worse than Egnes and Natia Vida, but how about setting up a magic circle......"

She and Stephanie looked at each other, and the two of them laughed like two cunning little foxes.

……

Dalton's southern area, a noble mansion in Southern Star City.

"Sir, these are the mercenaries from Horn."

A soldier in a red and black uniform approached and saluted a short-haired woman on the steps.

Behind him knelt a number of mercenaries whose necks were crushed by their swords and their faces were depressed, and next to him were two groups of soldiers pointing their magic guns at them.

"Bring it here."

The short-haired woman ordered coldly.

She was wearing a black uniform, which looked a bit like a military uniform, but it was different from the style worn by the soldiers, and it looked more delicate and solemn.

"I'm a law-abiding citizen of the kingdom, and there's no problem with the mercenary certificate, you guys—woo!"

A rugged-looking male mercenary was smashed in the face with the butt of a rifle by a soldier next to him, and this time it was so hard that it dislocated his jaw.

"Why are those people so domineering? Our master is one of the best nobles in Nanxing City, and they actually broke in like this, caught the master without saying anything, and brought these lowly mercenaries to the courtyard......"

An honest crouching servant leaning on the wall, his hands held high, whispered.

"Shh

A man dressed as a butler next to him winked at him.

A soldier with a sword at his waist and a submachine gun slowly walked behind the two, constantly scanning the surroundings with a wary gaze.

"Aristocrats?"

The man dressed as a butler looked at the soldier with jealous eyes: "Do you know who these are, they are the army of the Harlem Empire!" ”

His eyes were fixed on the well-made magic gun in the soldier's hand and he said:

"See the gun in the man's hand? Even the castle lord's guards don't have this kind of high-end goods, plus that kind of red and black uniform, I'm sure they are not soldiers from the kingdom, but from the empire! ”

Harlem ...... Imperial? ”

The servant shuddered.

The only magical country on the continent, with the world's most powerful magical legion and advanced legacy technology, it is also the suzerainty of most human countries, including the Kingdom of Westminster!

"What are they doing in Southern Star City?"

The servant asked in horror:

"We don't have anything here that can be looked down upon by the Imperials......"

"I don't know, maybe I'm not looking for something, I'm looking for someone."

The butler looked at the huge red-black airship overhead, and his eyes were full of awe:

"Even the airship drove over...... That woman is definitely a big shot. ”

"Close his chin."

A young woman in a black uniform said to the soldier next to her.

"Click!"

The soldier expertly closed the crooked mercenary's jaw, then bowed back.

"I have one thing to ask you...... It's best to tell everything you know. ”

The young woman didn't say anything threatening, but when she heard her words, the two rows of soldiers suddenly turned their guns on the man who was kneeling on the ground.

"Only, as long as I know, I ...... I must say! ”

Seeing the muzzles of those black holes, the mercenary was frightened and replied with a trembling body.

"What did the silver-haired swordsman look like you've seen?"

The young woman asked.

"She has very beautiful long silver hair, looks very flowing, wears an ordinary heavy sword swordsman suit, and has a bulging chest, she should be a woman."

The male mercenary replied in a trembling voice.

"I asked you what she looked like."

The young woman said lightly.

"I didn't see her face clearly! She had a mask on her face, and I swear, I'm telling the truth! ”

The mercenary swore by pointing to the sky.

"Take him down."

Two soldiers holding him grabbed the male mercenary by the arm and returned him to his original position.

"Bring one more person up."

The young woman ordered.

I asked a few people in a row, and they all said the same thing, most of them only saw a silver hair, and the swordsman was probably a woman, and no one saw her face.

"The information obtained is basically the same, these people should not be lying; The style of that sword still needs to be investigated, and I didn't leave an image of her holding the sword in the first place, which should be considered a big mistake. ”

The young woman left the doorway and entered the house.

"Are the results of the analysis of these two people out?"

She asked a man dressed in a white researcher's outfit.

"Come out, sir."

The researcher's dressed man handed over a report, stood there and whispered:

"The spirits of these two people are weaker than ordinary people, and their eyes are distracted, and after a close examination, it is found that they have traces of spiritual magic."

The young woman took a pair of glasses from her bosom and placed them on the bridge of her nose, looking at the report carefully.

"This scar on the buttocks, is it confirmed that it was left some time ago?"

She asked, looking at it.

"Yes, we have estimated the time to the hour, and the specific results are written on it."

"Let's go down."

The young woman returned the report to him:

"Sue the people inside, pack up your instruments and get ready to get out of here."

At this moment, an officer hurriedly walked in from outside, saluted her, and said:

"Sir, Mo Sang, the city lord of Southern Star City, is waiting for you outside, saying that he has brought you a precious gift."

"Ignore him."

The young woman simply said:

"Let those mercenaries go, give them 500 gold coins, and then get ready to board the boat."

"Yes!"

The officer snapped his boot down, turned and walked away.

"My lord, what about these two nobles?"

The researcher asked, looking at the two middle-aged men and women lying on the ground like dead pigs.

"Inject them with C2-906."

"Understood."

The researcher called two men, asked them to take a box, and began to mix the potion.

The young woman turned and walked to the door, looking at the mercenaries who had taken the money and left, a light flashed on her glasses:

"Spiritual magic, silver hair, female, skilled swordsmanship......"

A smile appeared on her indifferent face:

"I've finally found you, Her Royal Highness the Reclusive Princess." R1152
