Chapter 152: The Crystal Lion

The blonde girl put down the model of the tower, "I checked the current height, it seems to be a 3-inch drop, this shouldn't be happening", the girl turned around and was surprised to see three strangers standing in the doorway, "Malken, who are these?"

"Ah, I forgot to introduce", Malken poked his head out from the cabinet, "My brother, Judge Paladin Tarrant, Investigator of the Sheltered Light, his father is my legendary teacher, the red-haired beauty is named Katrina, who works at the Academy of Magic, and the sexy girl over there is Kira Viton", Malken walked up to the girl with eggs and potatoes, "Guys, this is Nicole, the top mage in the continent. โ€

"Hello", Tarrant's military salute, Nicole looks only in her twenties, her face is delicate, her eyebrows are slender, her blonde hair in front of her forehead is braided with two thin long braids hanging down her ears, the most attractive thing is a small black mole under Nicole's left eye, the imperfections make her have a moving feminine charm, she seems to be a royal handicraft, "Malcoln only mentioned your talent to me but did not talk about your beauty, it seems that he did it on purpose." โ€

"It's over," Nicole smiled in thanks, "I've admired your father's legend for a long time, and your teammates are equally beautiful," her gaze rested slightly on Kira Vidon.

"They need your help with something," Melken leaned over Nicole, "and there are some secrets within the Guard that Xiuzo has authorized." โ€

"Xiuzo?" Nicole smiled and looked at the three of them, "Please." โ€

Tarrant walked over to her, "We're looking for someone who belongs to the Royal Guard and also joins the Wizarding Guild of Nagu. โ€

Nicole turned her head to stare at Malken. "Do we have such people?"

"Honey, this matter is important", Malken's eyes were slightly innocent, almost to the point of pity, as if he had been coerced to come here.

"I don't know," Nicole's tone became stiff, "no comment." โ€

Tarrant asked Malcoln with his eyes: What is the situation?

Nicole turned her back, "Shuzo doesn't have the authority to give others such authorization, doesn't he recognize his identity?"

"He's already the captain of the Royal Guard, it's you who you don't face up to who he is." Malcoln kept his voice soft. "Even if he doesn't become your governor, you have to take into account that he is a member of the royal family, the king's nephew. โ€

"Hah", Nicole sneered indifferently. "The King's nephew. What else does he have besides that". Nicole pointed to Malken's chest, "I'm not targeting you, I'm only at the king's orders." As for Xiuzo. Sorry, a pawn that will be discarded at any time, don't bother, neither he nor his father will end well. โ€

Kiraviton whispered at the door, "What's wrong with Xiuzo's father?"

Catrina leaned closer to her, "He is the one who has the most military power besides the king, and he is under his direct command of the armies to the south and west of Cerenzo, and his son is now the leader of the Royal Guard, which means that more than fifty percent of Serenso's elite combat strength is under his control." โ€

Malcoln coughed awkwardly, "Nicole, we shouldn't be discussing these topics, be respectful and wait for the results." โ€

Nicole walked to the window, the drizzle falling on her face, "I just remember swearing allegiance to the king." โ€

Tarrant understood Xiuzo's hesitant expression when making a decision, the elite of the Guard were skeptical not only about his abilities but also about his family and honor, and Xiuzo was temporarily unable to become a true leader in the Royal Guard.

Kira Veton taunted Tarrant, "I thought only soldiers of the Sheltered Light could refuse orders from their superiors. โ€

"I'm hungry," Nicole seemed to abort the meeting, "make something to eat, and I'll have to check the height of the tower in the evening." โ€

"Listen to me," Tarrant stopped in front of Nicole, "the king you are loyal to is facing an unprecedented threat, someone wants to destroy Miรจ Antle!"

"Oh?" Nicole's face was expressionless.

"This man is hiding in the royal guard, secretly planning her ruined plan. โ€

"What is she going to do", Nicole asked calmly.

"I don't know", Tarrant's eyes gradually attracted to the black mole under Nicole's eyes, which seemed to be the center of Nicole's beauty.

"Crystal Country!" Catrina snapped, "the effect that the mage was trying to pursue, darkness covering the sky, light piercing the darkness, crystals. โ€

Tarrant noticed Nicole's snort getting worse and the words touched her, and Tarrant added, "This man's code name in the Wizarding Guild is 'Crystal Heart'. โ€

"Crystal Heart", Nicole muttered repeated, "Crystal Heart", she looked at the sky, the rain fell into her eyes, she blinked, "Where did you get these clues?"

"The investigators of Shelter Light have been tracking down a dangerous mage who has participated in a Wizards' bet," Tarrant said.

"And then the fool told you that there are members of the Wizarding Society in the Royal Guard?" Nicole bent down against the window and looked down, "Indeed, the Royal Guard once started this plan, I selected three people to enter the Wizarding Society, I know who you are looking for." โ€

"The opportunity to play for the country has come," Milken cheered, "who she is." โ€

"You know her", Nicole's voice was blown in by the breeze, "'Lion'." โ€

"Shar Shlevingne?!" Malken was surprised, "what is her connection to the Crystal Heart? โ€

"Don't forget her origins, the Crystal City of Imbaxin, an extremely cold land covered in ice and snow all year round," Nicole hung her head, "She has betrayed my trust." โ€

"Wait," Kiraweton thought, pinching his chin, "the woman we're looking for is called a lion?

"It's an insult to an ordinary woman, but it's a compliment to Sharsh Kleven", says Malken, "She has a strange talent: hunting, her nose is more sensitive than a dog, she has a superhuman perception of danger, and all the legends about her are inseparable from two words, killing, she revels in the whole process from the discovery of the target to the opening of the target's belly, a male lion of hunt." โ€

"She's a mage?" said Katrina, who was surprised that the description was never associated with a mage figure.

Malken quickened his voice: "Battle Mage, Double-Headed Sword Grand Master, Spell Grand Master, no one has seen her study spells, she has been a Great Grandmaster since she appeared, making countless people jealous, this is the natural ability." โ€

It is indeed a talent for spells and a tendency to chaos, and Shar Shlevin fits a Qiฤ“ Lovell's description, "Why did you choose such a person to join the Royal Guard and go on such a strange mission?" Tarrant asked Nicole.

"She's loyal to the Kingdom, and that's enough," Nicole replied.

"Ridiculous, she's not loyal enough to the kingdom," Kirawiton slapped the table, "let her come, and settle this problem here tonight!"

Nicole stood up, "Xiuzo's opinion?"

Malken placed one hand on the hilt of his sword, "Shuzo's order...... Uh, it's built yรฌ, to eliminate a qiฤ“ threat, the sooner the better. โ€

Nicole pondered for a moment, "She'll be coming soon," and a white magic ball flew down the tower.

The occupants of the room leaned against the wall, quietly waiting for the last participant to show up.

"Hey, how about a joke", Malken clapped his hands twice, "About this Shalshlevan, the guards describe it like this, if she is locked up in the black room with an adult red dragon, it must be Shar Slevan who comes out when she opens the black room the next day, and she still has the heart of the red dragon in her hand, hahaha!"

Kira Veton sighed, "This is the Black Room, will we be killed?"

"Uh-huh," Malken pretended to be thoughtful, "I have a very good understanding with Nicole," and he tried to reach out to pat Nicole but was dodged, "Look, she knows I'm going to do this, and we're in the same mind." โ€

Nicole did not reply to Malken's overtures, and anyone could see that there was a suppressed heaviness under her calm expression, and she was not good at hiding her feelings.

"Honey, give everyone some confidence," Malken reminded her.

"I've only memorized prophecy spells, and hopefully nothing bad will happen. โ€

"The ancient wizards will not surrender," Tarrant reminded them, "and be ready for battle." โ€

"She's coming", Nicole looked at the center of the room, a white light appeared, and the teleportation spell merged into a circle of energy in the air...... (To be continued......)
