"Ahem...... I'll just take the test as a joke, don't mind too much," Mu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but smile when she saw that these female knights were all confused, "Actually, you don't need anything in return, because your deputy head of the regiment has already agreed with me on this deal, and as a condition for me to rescue you, you can take me back to the first fortress."

"That's it?" Alicia looked at him suspiciously, "Is that enough?" ”

"Hey, that's fine," Mu Xiaoxiao nodded.

"......" Lena glanced at Mu Xiaoxiao with a strange expression, moved her lips and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't speak, standing there without saying a word.

"Okay then...... Since you've said so, though, my condition hasn't changed," Knight Ji said very seriously, but his face suddenly turned red, "If you have anything you need, you can tell me, as long as you don't say too much...... Say whatever you want from me, and I'll keep my promise! ”

"Okay! That's it, I'll tell you when I think of it later. ”

After seeing that the conversation between Lord Alicia and Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to be over, Lena walked up, looked at Alicia with a little unspeakable face, opened her mouth hesitantly, and then said slowly, "Lord Alicia...... There's one thing I'd like to tell you about......"

"What's wrong?" Seeing that his face seemed to be a little bad, the blonde-haired Ji Knight immediately asked.

"This ...... Actually," Lena thought for a moment, and finally gritted her teeth, "Originally, everyone in the Knights of St. Iris wanted to rescue the Captain...... But...... Later, it turned out that the commander of the monster army on the opposite side was not a simple person...... Our Knights of St. Iris ......"

"Wait," Alicia was stunned for a moment, then said, "Lena, are you trying to say that the Knights of St. Iris have suffered heavy losses?" ”

"I'm so sorry! Mistress Alicia, it's all because of me......"

"Well, don't blame yourself so much," Alicia sighed, patted her on the shoulder, and smiled, "Actually, if I say that, I'm more responsible, after all, it's because I was caught by those damn monsters that caused all these things." ”

"What do we do now, Lord Alicia?" Lena looked at Alicia, "With the current combat strength of our Knights of St. Elice, I'm afraid there is no way to break through to the Black City directly......"

"Well, it's a rare good opportunity," Alicia gritted her teeth, looking unwilling, "but it's going to hell like this, there is no choice but to go back to the fortress first, and then inform the guys of the Seven Shields Council and let them decide......"

"Yes, Mistress Alicia."

"Zhao Ritian, don't you also want us to take you back to the fortress?" Alicia turned her head to look at Mu Xiaoxiao and smiled slightly, "It's just right, you can fulfill your request." ”

"I don't care," Mu Xiaoxiao shrugged her shoulders, but when she heard what the other party just said, her heart moved, since Alicia is the representative of the first fortress, she must have a lot of status in the Seven Shields Alliance, do you want to take the Black Dog Mercenary Group ......

No, no, what about directly exposing their own tasks? Although he wants to complete the task, he doesn't want those beasts to be like this...... Mu Xiaoxiao thought about it for a while, it seems that she has to think about it, and when she heard their conversation, is it because of the current situation that she specially cooperated with the Black Dog Mercenary Group?

In any case, his mission is to be with those people of the Black Dog Mercenary Group, and his mission will end after the capture of the Black City...... Follow-up questions...... You can only wait until you return to the main god space to re-enter, and at that time, the daylilies are cold, and this world must have been in a mess for a long time.

I have to find a way to delay their time a little, and now there is plenty of time, a month is enough time to think about it slowly.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Speaking of which, Zhao Ritian," on the way back to the first fortress, Alicia rode to Mu Xiaoxiao's side and looked at him curiously, "Do you have any special magic?" When you saved me before, that teleportation ...... It's like a very advanced form of magic. ”

"This ...... It's not easy to elaborate, you can understand it as a kind of magic," Mu Xiaoxiao nodded.

"Magic, why do you want to be a freelance mercenary when you know how powerful you are?" Alicia sighed, "In fact, with such powerful magic, it is possible to become a court magician in any country, which is definitely much better than a free mercenary......"

"Yes? Court magician? That kind of thing sounds good," Mu Xiaoxiao blinked, "but ......"

"But?"

"......," Mu Xiao smiled mysteriously, "but I can't tell you." ”

"......," Alicia looked at him speechlessly, "what a strange person...... But seriously, Zhao Ritian, if someone invited you, would you agree? ”

"Invite me?" Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned.

"yes, you are invited to join ......"

"Forehead......" Mu Xiaoxiao patted her head, "I said Alicia, you told me this, how do you feel that you seem to have a little other meaning?" ”

"This ...... It doesn't mean anything else," Alicia blushed, "just asking......

"Just ask? I don't believe it, Alicia, could it be that you're trying to recruit me, are you? ”

"Ahem, I do have this idea, your strength is so powerful, and you saved me again," Alicia said and looked at Mu Xiaoxiao with some expectation in her eyes, "If you join our Knights of St. Iris, it is definitely a very good choice, and with me to speak, others will not say anything." ”

"If nothing else, is this really good? I'm a man, and you Knights of St. Iris are all women. ”

"It's okay, you're my savior, this kind of trivial ......"

"Huh......" Mu Xiaoxiao couldn't stand the other party's enthusiastic gaze, and the corners of her mouth twitched, "Alicia, didn't you ask me why I want to be a free mercenary before?" Actually, the reason is very simple, it's because of freedom," he said with a slight smile, "For me personally, freedom is one of the most important things, so I ......"

"Free?" Alicia looked at Mu Xiaoxiao in distress, "No wonder...... But even if that's the case, it doesn't matter, right? Even if you join the Knights of St. Eris, I won't bind you or anything...... It's like putting your name on my order, how about it? ”

"Name?" Mu Xiaoxiao patted her head and pouted, "Alicia, forget it, right?" Instead of that, why don't you just be friends? I'll help you if the Knights of St. Iris have any trouble, I think it's better, you say? ”

"Friend...... Alicia's expression darkened, but she nodded when she heard this, and regained her expression a little, "You're right, it's better to be the friend, in fact, I don't have any male friends so far,"

"Then I'm really honored......"

Soon, Mu Xiaoxiao followed Alicia and the Knights of St. Iris back to the first fortress of the Seven Shields Alliance, during which Alicia was a little depressed because of her invitation to be simply refused, but then she was quite satisfied, after returning to the first fortress, Alicia immediately returned to her knight camp non-stop, and asked people to inform the remaining six fortresses that the operation failed.

Originally, it was intended for the Knights of St. Iris to take advantage of the Black Queen's strength to attack the Black City in one fell swoop, but this unexpected situation occurred, so at this time, it was necessary to notify the other representatives and convene the Seven Shields Conference.

As for Mu Xiaoxiao, she was invited to Alicia's house as a guest to stay temporarily. (To be continued.) )
