"Have you ever thought that if I saw you like this, I might have a violent attack? After all, would I benefit a lot from taking out a third-ranked contender? Alan said suddenly.

Lucy thought for a moment and smiled, "I really haven't thought about it. ”

"That's it, that's why you're here as we agreed. You subconsciously choose to believe me, so I won't give up on you either! Alan turned back, the sun falling softly on the side of his face. Although the face is stained with blood, this face is not the slightest hideous, but has a kind of peace of mind that makes people trust.

With a toothy grin, Alan waved his hand and turned away. He jumped up the hill and disappeared into Lucy's eyes.

Lucy asked, a blush running across her pale little face. She smirked: "Won't give up on you?" Hey, that sounds awesome. ”

"Well, then I'll have to be obedient too. Find a place to hide first, at least, no one can kill you. Lucy stood up against the trunk.

The poison in her is not violent, and she uses her own source power to suppress it. Although his physical fitness has been reduced because of this, he is not so strict that he is unable to move. Just walking, the pace is inevitably a little vain.

He had only moved a few steps forward when a gust of mountain wind blew past Lucy. The girl's eyes suddenly lit up, and the pistol flicked up, and she quickly swung back. The muzzle of the gun was pointed, and a figure flickered out.

"Your Highness is me!" A broad palm pressed down on the muzzle of the gun, and the owner of the hand was a mighty old man with a white beard.

The tower-like body is like steel, and even the skin is as lustrous as metal in the sun. The old man was dressed in a black sweatcoat, brown skin-colored armor, and carried two crossed two-handed broadswords. On the sword of the broadsword, each carved a single wing that opened in the opposite direction.

"Teacher?" Lucy suddenly looked embarrassed and said, "How did you find me?" ”

"Your Highness, you are so nonsense, you actually came to participate in some death ring of the Federation, and you also bought off an official to impersonate a child. If you let your father know, he's going to be furious. The old man shook his head.

Lucy snorted from her nostrils: "Father doesn't have time to pay attention to me." ”

"Your Highness, you are the one he loves the most." The old man frowned.

Lucy wrinkled her nose: "He loves those women, not me." ”

"But he gave you all the Golden Roses."

"That's because I'm the only one who can drive the Golden Rose." Lucy said strongly, but at the end of the sentence, she coughed violently.

The old man's eyes lit up and grew brighter and brighter, as if silver-white flames had erupted from his eyes. He lost his voice and said, "Your Highness, are you poisoned?" ”

Then, without saying anything, he grabbed one of Lucy's arms and spread her palms out. The old man stretched out a finger, and his fingertips erupted with silvery-white source power flames. The flame condensed, forming a tiny silver needle. The old man gently plunged the silver needle into Lucy's palm, and suddenly a silver line spread out from the palm of his hand like a loop, flowing through his whole body in an instant.

"It's okay, it's not a big thing." The old man withdrew the source power needle and instead pulled out a box from the inside of his leather armor. The box opened, and a syringe was pulled out of it. The needle was a blue liquid, and the old man pricked the needle into Lucy's arm and pressed all the antidote into it.

After a few moments, the paleness on Lucy's face receded, and a trace of blood appeared on her little face.

"Okay, at most, in an hour, the toxins in His Highness's body will be completely removed. But you have to tell me, who is so bold as to dare to poison you! There was already a hint of murder in the old man's tone.

Lucy spread her hands and said, "That's up to me, and I don't know who did it." ”

"In that case, Your Highness, please come with me." The old man frowned and said, "Your Highness is responsible for His Highness's safety, and I really can't let His Highness continue to mess around like this." ”

"Alright, alright." Lucy blinked, circled the old man's hand and shook it, and said, "Teacher, I promise to go back with you." You'll have to give me a little more time, though. ”

"Your Highness!" The old man's voice rose slightly, and his eyes were wide open, not angry.

"I can't go back with you right now, anyway." Lucy said, crossing her waist.

The old man had a headache and said, "Why is that?" ”

"Because I promised a man to wait for him to come back."

"The little ghost?" The old man shook his head and said, "Your Highness, that's just a kid who is a remnant of the earth, how can you take risks with your daughter." ”

"Marquis Metalon, I have made up my mind!" Lucy said in an irrefutable tone: "Anyway, after the death ring is over, I will go back with you." ”

The old man's expression froze, and Lucy changed the title from teacher to knighthood, which was not only to show another identity to take a stand. He could only smile bitterly and said, "Okay, since His Highness has made up his mind, then His Majesty can only accompany him for protection." ”

He added: "Your Highness, this is the first time you have called your subordinates by their names. Is that kid really that important to you? ”

Lucy apologized, "I'm sorry, teacher. It's just that that person is my friend. Moreover, he is a person I can look forward to. ”

"Someone to look forward to?" Metalon said, "Well, Your Highness. I'll just keep my eyes peeled and see what this kid has to look forward to. ”

Alan suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

He lowered himself mechanically, ducked behind a bush, and cautiously swept around. Just now, he had the feeling of being targeted by a vicious wolf, which made the fluff on the back of his neck stand on end. But the surrounding woodland is very quiet, except for the occasional wind blowing and a few leaves falling.

Is it a delusion? He thought, shaking his head, before Alan got back to his feet.

He was moving towards the forest to the northwest.

The southeast and southeast directions are plains, and there is nothing to hide. If someone wants to hang on Lucy's head and pick up the bargain, they will definitely not choose this kind of open space that is easy to find. Then, Lin Hai, which moves diagonally from north to west, is undoubtedly the best choice. As for the range, it will not be too large, according to Lucy's own estimation of the poison time, the limit distance of the poisoner will not exceed 30 kilometers.

Once this distance was exceeded, it was hard for Alan to imagine how the other party would be able to reach Lucy's hiding place in only 15 hours. In fact, the distance is even shorter. As a result, Allen's search became much less difficult.

He hid his tactical knife in the bushes, and the man climbed up the tall tree in front of him. As he emerged from the canopy, Alan saw a sea of forests. To the east, the sun is shining. As for the forest belt that extends to the north, it is set off by the wind. The forest seemed calm, and Alan was just about to burrow back when about a kilometer northwest of Huer saw birds flying into the sky.

Alan immediately slid down from the tree, picked up the tactical knife, and dived in the direction where the bird appeared.

There must be human activity there to startle the forest birds. Regardless of whether the person who poisoned it or not, since the traces of activity are so close, it must be confirmed, and if necessary, it must be removed.

A kilometer away is only a matter of 5 minutes at Allen's feet. As he approached his destination, he heard a girl's exclamation. Alan immediately stopped and climbed up to the canopy of an old nearby tree. As soon as he hid it with the forest leaves, he saw a girl running towards him. Suddenly, a javelin was thrown in front of her. The girl stopped, swished, and three more javelins fell, blocking her retreat.

The girl under the tree is none other than Emily.

Emily turned her back to Alan, which made Eren unable to see the girl's expression. Judging from her rapid breathing, the girl was very nervous. Not far away, two teenagers came out from behind a camphor tree. In front of him was a boy with light brown curly hair and freckles on his childish face. With a javelin in his hand, it seemed that he had blocked Emily's retreat just now.

Another tall black boy with short dyed blonde hair and a lip ring on his lips was looking at Emily with a playful expression.

Alan quickly recalled their information in his mind. The boy with the javelin was Rafi, and the other black man was Canon. The strength of these two people was only in the middle of the stream, and in Allen's eyes, they were shining with the light of source power like morning mist. Inside it, there are four points of light that are glittering.

Eren now knew that not all of everyone's source light could be observed. Like Hughton, Alan could only see it when he used the source power, and unlike Ensign Ron, the source power light on his body was clearly visible. In the case of visibility, usually the strength of the light is directly linked to the source force Cheng dù, so a teenager like Rafi who only has four source force vortices, the source force light is neither bright nor clear.

Of course, Allen is no better than them.

Two fourth-level source power people, Alan asked himself if he was sure to deal with it. After all, Joe and Hera were no weaker than the two in front of him, so he hid his body with bated breath and watched what happened.

"Alright, Emily. You can't escape, I guess, you're trying to join up with Lucy so you can get her shelter again? Canon, a black boy, said in an unpleasant tone.

Rafi turned the javelin lightly and said in a cold voice, "Tell us where Lucy is, or if you want to let Canon torture you, you can say it." But I believe it must have been an unpleasant experience. ”

"You're going to trouble Lucy?" Emily's voice was moving, but the hand she placed behind her back quietly slipped a dagger out of her sleeve.

Of course, Rafi and Canon certainly don't know. Alan could see it clearly, his eyes fell on the dagger, and Allen looked at Emily with a look of two more guards.

"I can tell you where she is, and I can guarantee that you can easily clean her up." Emily's voice was delicate: "She should be unable to protect herself now, if you make a move, she has no room to resist at all." ”

"Oh, why?" Raffi frowned: "She's a top-ranked player, I don't think she's that easy to deal with." ”

"No matter how difficult a person is, if he is poisoned, there is nothing to be afraid of." Emily spoke amazingly.
