He had already quietly inquired about the origin of the princess from Timos, and knew that the other party was from a small country that was not very well-known.

"The Acantos family is one of the twelve nobles of the empire, so it stands to reason that they are naturally qualified to marry the princess of a small country, not to mention that this princess is not the first heir in line to the throne of the kingdom."

Timos didn't seem to know how to speak:

"But Bernie, I remember you've always liked Leah......"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Bernie whispered:

"What is there about that spicy and unreasonable woman that I like? That is, you and her eldest brother have been protecting her, otherwise someone would have wanted her life as early as ten years ago. ”

"Don't forget, what Leah is carrying."

Timos frowned, and those who knew him could know that he was a little unhappy now:

"Not to mention those children, even the princess with the bone dragon and god-level lich above, there is no way to threaten her."

"That's why you didn't turn your face with her right away?"

Bernie sarcastically said:

"I thought you forgot about Leah when you saw this beautiful princess, and I've seen you with her picture more than once......"

"Don't talk about it anymore, Leah is not in danger now, I can feel it."

The black-clothed major, who had the power of death, gradually picked up his speed, leaving Bernie behind:

After a while, I heard his voice overhead:

"And I advise you to give up what you just thought...... Because you have a very strong rival in love, neither you nor your clan can be enemies of that person. ”

"If there is such a thing, you will be alarmist...... Could it be that it was the two royal highnesses who took a fancy to her? ”

Bernie burst out laughing.

After laughing for a while, he found that Timos was silent. He couldn't help but be surprised:

"No, I guessed it?"

"Hiss ――――――"

The chirping of a bone dragon was heard from above.

Flying is an innate ability of the dragons, and after becoming an undead, it becomes an inherent talent, so the bone dragon climbed to the top early and stood there to guard its master.

"It's almost to the top, hold on!"

Timos turned to the soldiers.

Then I saw that Bernie was in a trance. Sighing secretly in his heart, he whispered to him:

"Don't think about her anymore...... It is very likely that this Xia princess has broken through the threshold of the god level, the Holy Son of Truiz has not appeared for hundreds of years, and there are only two royal highnesses among the young people of the entire Faense who can be worthy of her. ”

Joe Hugh ...... And Lorraine ......"

Bernie muttered the names of the two men:

"That's just in Faenns, if it's here, I'm much better than them, maybe I don't have a chance."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a chill on his face, and a sword tip that followed the cold light appeared in front of his eyes.

Timos's eyes were bone-chilling. The rapier in his hand almost pressed against his eyes, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Don't let me hear you say that again, Bernie."

The black-clothed major's voice sounded terrifying at this time:

"If there is a next time, you will be my enemy...... My sword will pierce your throat without hesitation. ”

"What are those two guys doing down there?"

Natsu was the first to climb to the top, leaned down and looked down, and saw that Timos seemed to be confronting Bernie.

"Don't make a fuss in this kind of place, hurry up and climb up!"

She shouted downward, disgruntled in her tone.

Timos slowly withdrew his rapier. He turned and climbed up quickly, leaving Bernie where he was.

"Sir?"

A soldier passed by Bernie's side. Seeing that this plain and cheerful chief had a blue face, he asked strangely.

“…… It's okay, you keep climbing. ”

Bernie took a deep breath and began to climb.

"Timos, you and Orn have been leaders of the crowd since childhood. Together with Leah, the three of them suppressed the others, including me. ”

His fingers gripped a rock so hard that he squeezed it to pieces.

"I admit that my swordsmanship talent is not as good as yours, so I chose to practice heavy sword in order to be able to overwhelm you on the battlefield. Who would have thought that you were hiding so deeply, and you still have the power of death. ”

"Wait and see!"

He suddenly picked up speed, gritted his teeth and thought:

"This is the New World...... It's no longer an area that the decaying dynasty can influence, just give me the time and opportunity......"

"What were you guys up to?"

Xia hugged his shoulders and stood on the top of the peak and questioned the two:

"Do you think you're still flying in the sky like you used to? My magic is not a panacea, what will you do when I see an accident happens! ”

"I'm sorry, Your Highness Princess."

Timos's face was as usual, and he bowed slightly to her:

"I promise it won't happen again."

Bernie on the side didn't look like his expression had changed much, but he put his hands behind his head and smiled disgustingly at Natsu:

"It's none of my business just now, he suddenly went crazy and pointed his sword at me, and I didn't do anything at all in order to take care of the overall situation."

“…… You can hold these ropes to make the soldiers a little safer. ”

Xia Qing knew that something must have happened just now, but the two artifact Lori were very busy now, and she didn't have the means to eavesdrop on each other's conversations, so she didn't care about it, and casually threw a few long ropes to them.

The soldiers climbed up one after another, and many of them fell to the ground from exhaustion when they came up, and soon the ground was covered with a large area, and the sound of coughing was everywhere.

"It seems to be cold here."

Natsu felt a cold breath spreading around, and when she looked up, she was very close to the dome and dripping water from the top of the dome, and it seemed that it was still raining heavily outside.

"The terrain of this mountain range is not dangerous, and if we can make a hole out, we can return to Reum in one day, or reach the second camp in the north."

Bernie got up with a rare seriousness and mentioned a name that Xia was somewhat unfamiliar with:

"The second camp is a military camp set up by Commander Elio, and they have carved out a safe zone deep within the continent. There are strong soldiers and generals, but they have to resist the attacks of monsters every day, and life is relatively difficult. ”

"Aren't you going to Leom?"

Natsu asked strangely.

She had the impression that the two were clearly not in the same camp as Elio, and that the best option would be to return to the newly built city.

"I'll take my men to Reom."

Timos said lightly.

As he said this, Bernie was checking his waist knife and didn't mean to say anything at all. This table xiàn and the previous judgment is like mud.

"Did these two fall out...... But it's none of my business. ”

Xia had already sensed the abnormality of the two, but he didn't mean to ask.

Her affairs were piled up like a hill, and she was not interested, and there was no need to bother with the gossip between the two Imperial officers.

"You guys take a break."

Xia said to the crowd:

"Light a fire and eat your heart's content; It wasn't long before we had to climb a short distance before we could actually get outside. ”

"Move a little softer and start digging."

She gave the bone dragon the command to open the pathway, and the harsh and unpleasant sound of hard claws and rocks rubbing against the rocks sounded overhead.

"Ignition!"

"Ignition!"

Bernie and Timos each gave orders to their subordinates.

One by one, the soldiers got up from the ground tired. Start using magic to ignite the useless clutter.

They are all orthodox Harlem soldiers, and they know some magic, even if they can't form effective combat power, it's still okay to light a fire and roast their clothes.

"Don't order too much, the air here is very thin, there are only about twenty of you in total, two piles are enough."

Natsu looked at them and reminded.

After about an hour, everyone felt a little chill.

Rubble fell from not far away. What followed was a puff of raindrops, cold splashing on everyone's faces and bodies.

"-Dig through!!"

I don't know who shouted. People blew up the pot all over.

Some of the soldiers ran like madmen to the bottom of the gap, ignoring their freshly dried clothes, looking greedily at the gloomy sky under the dense raindrops, and some even ran to the rock wall, where they gulped the rainwater.

"I'll keep my promise, Your Highness."

Timos gave a military salute to Xia coldly and politely. He began to lead his men up the gap, not glancing at Bernie again.

"Do you want to come with me to Commander Elio?"

Bernie touched his wet head and issued an invitation a little shyly:

"I can assure you that it's definitely safer than Reom, but the facilities are a little more basic......"

"It's a pity. I have companions in the city, and I must go find them first. ”

Xia rejected his offer.

"That's okay, I can personally lead the team to Leom to meet you then."

Bernie laughed:

"With such a strong supporter as Her Royal Highness the Princess, Commander Elio and His Excellency Grand Sage Duragal will definitely be happy."

Looking at the bone dragon and the black-robed lich, there was both envy and jealousy in his eyes.

"If necessary, I'll take people directly to the second camp."

Natsu thought of Elio and Duraga, and her heart was also moved, she originally wanted to cooperate with the Reom government, but now it seems that it is better to choose the Imperial Army with a more hard-line style.

"In Camp 2, our level is nothing more than a vanguard team used to explore the way."

Bernie sighed and said:

"There's a lot of great guys out there...... Alone it shouldn't be a match for your minions, but the expedition has seven full legions! These people can be said to be the strongest force in the New World. ”

"You don't seem to have a good relationship with Elio."

Xia asked tentatively:

"There are twelve nobles in Harlem, and you and Timos seem to be one of them?"

"Yes, but none of us are officially qualified as heirs."

Bernie nodded:

"Unlike that brainless bastard, I have a few different views on the current situation......"

He communicated something with Xia in simple and sincere language, and then politely said goodbye to the silver-haired girl.

"Master, how do I think there are other intentions in his words?"

The little Lori in black flew to the master's side and said:

"Don't be fooled by him, men are not good things." She didn't know who she had learned this from.

"You think too much, none of these people are fuel-efficient lamps, how can they care about women? If you want beautiful women, it's simply too easy for people like them. ”

Xia looked thoughtfully at Bernie and his soldiers who were leaving, and his fingers gently stroked his long rain-soaked hair and said:

"Stephanie, follow them to Camp 2 and take care to gather the latest information; Erin is staying with me for the time being, and we have to find a way to improve our strength. ”

"If you want to improve your strength, I can recommend a good place."

The Lich chimed in:

"Not far from here, there's an underground ruin......"

"Are you talking about this?"

Natsu opened the image ball, revealing a tall arch that was the entrance to the ruins.

"That's right, I learned the flying spell on the first layer."

The lich let out a gratifying laugh:

"It seems that you have indeed grown a lot better than before, and you have discovered the best cultivation location nearby so quickly...... Let's get stronger, and when you're at my current level, we might be able to go back to the Great Tomb to meet that demon for a while. (To be continued......)
