The cloak was torn off, revealing Artoria's beautiful but cold face, although she still looked like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, but in those water-blue eyes, it made people feel as if she had gone through a lot of years of wind and frost, and there was no jump and vitality that a girl should have, especially the iceberg-like indifference on her face, which gave people a feeling of rejecting people thousands of miles away.

"It's still cold...... What a nasty face! ”

"I don't know if you'll be able to keep this expression for a while!!"

The four men laughed lewdly while rubbing their hands together and slowly leaned towards the middle, especially the man who had torn Artoria's robe before, and had already begun to untie his trouser belts, as for his shirts and the like, he had already taken off and thrown them aside.

Looking at the four men around him who were gradually approaching, it was difficult for Artoria's heart to remain calm at the moment, since he woke up from the darkness, he had been living in the shadow of these guys, these guys were obviously trainee summoners, as long as they continued to work hard for a while, they could officially ask for the identity of the internship and transform into one of the top groups of people in the entire Valoran continent, but with their respective rich family backgrounds, they continued to do angry things, and they could be called full hooligans. Even the academy's higher-ups turned a blind eye to what these guys were doing.

At this moment, although she was calm on the surface, she had already regretted it to the extreme, why did she borrow money from these guys in the first place? I knew that they were such bastards, and I would rather starve to death than bury today's evil seeds!

"Smack". One of Artoria's arms was finally grabbed by a man. Then he was thrown to the ground hard. But even now, she still didn't say a word, just slowly closed her eyes as if she was desperate.

She didn't want her eyes to see the dirty stuff.

"It's infuriating! Brothers, I'll go first! ”

The man laughed wildly, brushed his pants off with his hand, and then pounced impatiently!

"Boom !!"

At this moment, Sal on the roof had already identified the other party. Naturally, he didn't continue to watch, only to see a burst of flames in his hand, and the thick roof suddenly burst into flames like quicksand, and at the same time brought a huge roar, and the entire courtyard shook violently!

"Who!?"

The sudden change startled the faces of the four men, and at the same time they subconsciously looked up, and then saw a rapidly enlarged figure!

However, they did not wait for any echo to be heard, and all that answered them was a sudden unquenchable fire!

The raging flames were danced into a long dragon by Thrall's hand. The room, which had been relatively spacious, was suddenly occupied, and the four men standing around it didn't even have time to scream. It was devoured by this fire dragon, and then they were knocked out by the huge energy it carried, and smashed the wall at the other end, directly embedded in it, like four burning insect specimens!

This huge movement naturally alarmed Artoria, who gritted his teeth and endured it, and subconsciously looked up, but his eyes widened in shock by the scene in front of him.

The unquenchable fire only appeared for this moment, but although these men were trainee summoners, they did not have the slightest corresponding ability, and almost without any resistance, they were quickly burned into several piles of charcoal, sticking to the wall like dead flies, looking quite disgusting.

The next moment, when Thrall hit the ground, he extinguished the flame in his hand, glanced at the four men casually, and walked to Artoria's side.

Looking at the girl on the ground, Sal stretched out a hand and smiled, "Saber?"

"What? Who are you?? ”

Unexpectedly, Artoria was puzzled by Sal's greeting, and at the same time sat up very vigilantly, moving backwards one after another until his back was pressed against the wall.

Seeing this, Sal's face sank, and then he was silent for a while before tentatively changing his tone and asking, "So...... Artoria? ”……

Half an hour later, on the third floor of the Phoenix Tavern.

In the corner of the private room, Sal is sitting opposite Artoria, although there are many customers in the tavern at this time, but this private room is separated by a curtain, and the sound insulation magic is applied to the effect, so it can be considered clean.

"So...... You don't remember what happened after you came into this world? ”

"Yes."

"And you've been staying at this war college since you came here, and you've never been out?"

"Yes."

"Because no alliance hero is willing to sign an agreement with you, so you have no source of livelihood, so you borrowed money from those people before?"

"This ...... Yes. ”

Looking at the girl in front of him, who looked a little restrained, Sal covered his forehead and sighed.

After eliminating the four men, Thrall didn't stay long, and didn't care about Artoria's resistance, he directly turned on the Flying Thunder God technique, and only brought it to the tavern after going around the city several times, you must know that even if it is a hero in the alliance, as long as you kill people in this war college, the official will never tolerate it, not to mention that the four guys who are killed are still four guys who may be promoted to official summoners, although this possibility is almost small.

After bringing Artoria back to the tavern, Sal showed that he had no ill intentions, and carefully inquired about the other party's situation, unexpectedly, this girl, who seemed to be extremely indifferent before, was now very innocent and quiet, and even had a sense of restraint and uneasiness.

To put it simply, she didn't have any memories of before she came to this world, and all she could recall was that one day three years ago, she woke up from a summoning altar in the summoner hall of the War College. All of them must have great combat power. will become a hero in the league. But she is an exception, although she has been detected to have an extremely strong spiritual will, but her own strength is pitifully weak, even an ordinary strong man can easily knock her down, so that although they are puzzled, the summoners still give up the plan to push her to the position of the hero of the alliance, and only think that this summoning. Something rare went wrong.

However, even so, Artoria's spiritual will was still favored by an old summoner, and he was accepted as a disciple, turning him into a trainee summoner, as long as she learned all the skills of the summoner, and won a hundred summoner canyon battles with the contract hero, she could be officially promoted to summoner and enjoy the status of the top people in the continent.

However, in the days that followed, the problems began to become apparent.

After more than a year of teaching. The old summoner found that although Artoria was detected the spiritual will energy was extremely powerful. But as if it was sealed in his body, he couldn't exert any of it at all, and the magic strength he showed in the learning process was only a little higher than that of ordinary people, far from reaching the level he expected.

In this way, the Alliance and the War College officials also completely canceled their attention to Artoria, and let him struggle among the crowd of trainee summoners, doing the hardest and dirtiest work in the temple group, and only gave a basic subsidy of 60 gold per month, and this money is placed in the War College, even the most basic life is difficult to guarantee, let alone use it to assist in the cultivation of summoners' skills! It's all thanks to the old summoner who adopted her, although she doesn't have any talent, but after a year of living together, she has also cultivated a deep relationship with her, raising her as a daughter, and spending all her savings on her.

It's just that although the cost is huge, the result is unsatisfactory, until the old summoner died the year before, the huge wealth he has accumulated over the years has finally been consumed, so that Artoria's strength has only increased by eight or nine ten, even among the many trainee summoners, it can only barely be called a third-rate level, and at the same time, with the passing of the old summoner, Artoria's life is becoming more and more difficult, and in the end, even the place where he lives has been mortgaged, It was used for daily food and clothing, and when there was really no way to do it in the end, I had to borrow some red gold from the men before me to ensure my life, and I gave them an excuse to be forcibly coerced after today's work, and that happened.

"If I had known they were like that, I would have starved to death than borrowed money from them......"

Looking at Sal's helpless expression, Artoria said with some restraint: "It's just that Mr. Sal, although I hate those guys too, but you actually killed them like that......"

"Don't you think it's cruel?"

Sal raised an eyebrow.

"No, I...... No! Those guys are all complete wicked people, and I only learned later that they don't know how many innocent girls they have harmed by their own family background, and even human lives have been stained a lot! ”

I only heard Artoriano say: "I'm just scared, in this way, I will get you into trouble with Mr. Sal......"

"You don't have to worry about that."

Sal smiled and said: "That courtyard, not in the central area, naturally there is no magic circle monitoring, I immediately brought you here afterwards, I believe that no one can witness what happened, and with my speed, even if it is seen, it is impossible to identify the two of us, what's more, as you said, when those guys forcibly took you out, they were also covered and hidden, right?" ”

"That's true, but ......"

Immediately afterward, Artoria still wanted to retort uneasily, but was interrupted by Sal raising his hand: "Compared to this, I have one thing that I want you to do me a favor." ”

"Help?"

Artoria was stunned: "Mr. Sal is my savior, and it is naturally incumbent upon him to help or something!" But I'm just a trainee summoner, so I'm afraid ......"

"Now, let me ask you, trainee summoner, do you have the right to participate in the battle in the summoner's canyon?"

Ignoring Artoria's next words, Thrall interrupted again, causing the other party to be slightly stunned: "The right to participate in the battle in the Summoner's Canyon?" …… Yes, there is! ”

"So, can you sign a contract with me?"

Seeing Sal's face happy, he asked sincerely: "Perpetual contract!" ”

"Perpetual contract?"

Hearing this, Artoria was taken aback: "Mr. Sal, your strength is so strong, why do you ...... To sign this contract with a trainee summoner like me? You know, generally those who have this kind of contract are the great summoners of the famous side! If you sign a contract with me, you'll be held back in battle! ”

"You don't have to worry about this, to be honest, I have a very unpleasant quarrel with the summoners in the current temple group because of some things, and it can be said that I have committed public anger."

I only heard Sal flicker: "If this continues, it is estimated that in the next battle in the summoner's canyon, there will be no summoner willing to cooperate with me, and I am worried about this matter, so ......"

"Falling out?"

Hearing this, Artoria was slightly stunned, why hadn't she heard of this kind of thing happening?

Seeing her like this, Thrall secretly said that there was a joke, and then put on a lonely look and continued: "Hehe, of course, if you don't want to cause the other summoners to be unhappy because of signing a contract with me, I won't force you." ”

"How so!?"

This time, Artoria immediately retorted, "I don't care about those things!" Mr. Sal! ”

"Oh? That ......"

"That'...... Let's sign a contract! Mr. Sal, although my strength is very weak, I will definitely do my best to serve you!! ”

As he spoke, Artoria reached out and took out a lilac scroll made of unknown material from his bosom, put it on the table, and said a little embarrassedly, "This...... It's the amethyst scroll needed to sign a permanent contract, which was inherited from my father, that, because...... I'm looking forward to meeting a hero who is willing to sign a contract with me one day, so I've always carried it with me......"

Knowing that the 'daddy' she was referring to was the old summoner who had taken her in, Thrall didn't ask any more questions, and after smiling comfortingly at her, he did as he was instructed to cut his finger and press it against the scroll.

On the other side, Artoria also slashed her finger and pressed it side by side next to Thrall's finger, and at the same time an obscure spell welled up from her mouth.

The next moment, they saw a dark purple light like a magic array light up around the two of them, spinning rapidly, and the already small noise of the outside world also disappeared completely.

In this situation, more than five minutes passed, Sal only watched Artoria's face become more and more pale, and just when he felt that the other party was about to be unable to support it, and was about to open his mouth to dissuade him, the familiar voice of the system suddenly came out in his head: "Ding! Complete Side Mission 2 and get a reward of 50,000 Power Points! (To be continued......)

PS: I'm sorry everyone, there has been a series of troubles in the small family in recent days, plus the wedding date is approaching, but the preparations are not done, and I am very busy, I'm afraid that the update or something is difficult to guarantee in the last few days, and when these things are over, I will be better, I'm really sorry, in fact, I am also very sad to say
