Chapter Forty-Six: Suzaku
Hearing the voice, Artoria and Liv immediately turned their heads nervously to see a little girl standing in front of a jungle pile. Wang Xiaoming seemed to have expected it, his expression didn't seem to have changed much, and the beads of sweat on his back kept stopping, staring at this "harmless to humans and animals" girl.
The little girl was even shorter than Artoria, and looked to be in her mid-twenties, with a red ponytail hairstyle, and wore a red princess dress and princess boots. With her slightly arrogant expression at this time, she really has the temperament of a noble princess, and she is more qualified to be called a princess than Liv next to Artoria.
Wang Xiaoming: But your hair color and hairstyle have betrayed your essence, girl. Red hair with a double ponytail is as high as 99% of the probability of tsundere attributes!!
Artoria: Strange, why would a child break into this monster forest at this time?
Liv: That's right, I saw her when she came to the Elven Territory before, and she was right...... Vermilion Birdmon.
Of the three, Artoria was the first to speak: "That, little sister, it's dangerous here, come over here, sister, sister will take you out of the forest and go home." "It seems that she really thinks of the other party as an ordinary little girl who accidentally walked in here.
After speaking, Wang Xiaoming and Liv beside Artoria looked at her directly with strange eyes, making her strange for a while, and asked, "Why are you looking at me with such eyes?"
Even the little girl in front of them was no exception, looking at Artoria amusedly, as if she were looking at something interesting. Her arrogant expression also retreated, and she said with a smile: "You...... Do you really think I'm just a normal human?"
I don't want the girl to respond directly: "Huh, isn't it?"
"Poof!" the little girl couldn't help but laugh and laughed. She was really amused by Artoria's silliness.
"Miss......" Unable to stand Artoria's stupid behavior, Wang Xiaoming opened his mouth and explained: "If you think about it seriously, this is the depths of the Warcraft Forest, an area where the weak eat the strong. Do you think it is possible for an ordinary little girl who is defenseless to walk in so 'accidentally', or will there be a chance for her to walk in? I am afraid that she would have been killed a long time ago. ”
"What do you mean...... She's not human?" Artoria confirmed, somewhat understanding.
I'm sorry, I can't help it!
Ignoring whether Liv would notice it, Wang Xiaoming looked directly at Artoria like a fool, and said with a slight tremor at the corner of his mouth: "Miss, we just knew that there are holy beast forces around her, so she must be more likely to belong to the Demonic Beast than the human race, you must know that the high-level Demonic Beasts should have the ability to transform into shapes." ”
But he was too worried, and Liv also felt that it was normal for Wang Xiaoming to have such a reaction, because the girl's performance was too speechless, saying that she was natural, it was too natural, and it should be more appropriate to say that she was a dumb melon.
Liv saw the other little girl laughing, and she was relieved in her heart. Since she can laugh, it at least means that the matter is not so serious, as long as we deal with it carefully, we can still turn big things into small things, and small things into nothing.
She continued Wang Xiaoming's words and said, "Xiaoming is right, a magical beast with superior ability can indeed transform into a human form. And in the Warcraft Forest, the only ones who can be called superior in what I call superior ability are ...... Four or so, that is the Four Holy Beasts......" Speaking of this, her inner meaning was already very clear.
The little girl standing in front of them was one of the Four Sacred Beasts.
"Four Holy Beasts......" Artoria finally came back to her senses, she suddenly remembered the little girl's words, "You just said I saw what?", just now they only mentioned the Vermilion Bird Beast, then, her identity was already revealed.
"You're a Vermilion Birdbeast?"
"You finally get it?" The little girl, or the Suzaku Beast that had transformed into a human little girl, had been laughing since the beginning, and she was completely amused by Artoria's "cute" performance.
"I thought that if Princess Liv was by your side, you would still know something about me, but I didn't think of it...... Didn't she tell you about me?" the Vermilion Bird looked at Liv, and the elf princess was smiling awkwardly.
"There's no time. Before I could explain, I had already arrived, so I didn't have time to explain......" Seeing the Vermilion Birdmon's expression and reaction to Artoria, Liv felt that the Flame Bird's injury should be fine, maybe she had already watched the whole incident from the sidelines.
Great, it should be fine. Reassured, Liv slowly let go and behaved relaxedly. So he took Artoria by the hand.
Liv knew it was over, but Artoria didn't. Seeing Liv holding her hand and still doing this in front of the powerful Vermilion Bird Beast, she felt an inexplicable shame, so she quickly broke free and said to Liv, "Liv, what are you doing? Now that the Vermilion Bird Beast is still watching there, why did it suddenly hold hands?"
"It's all right, Leah. If you look at the expression on the face of the Vermilion Bird Beast, it is obvious that he has not cared about it, otherwise how could he talk to you with a smile? Am I right? Liv asked her with a smile.
"Barely count......" As if there was something in the words, Suzaku walked towards Artoria and them, and Liv and Artoria offered to give way to Suzaku to look at the Flame Bird. As Vermilion approached Artoria, she stopped and made eye contact with the blonde girl. Artoria looked at her again as if she had strengthened her faith after the first evasion. The Vermilion Bird Beast saw the resoluteness in it, and also saw the determination of the girl. Smiling, he walked over to the flame bird and stroked its body.
Seeing that the adults came to see it in person, the flame bird was meekly caressed by the Vermilion Bird Beast, and barked quietly, like a cat and puppy being appeased, very obedient, like a pet bird. I couldn't see the power of fighting Artoria before.
Artoria and Liv were both sighing in their hearts that the status of the Vermilion Bird was able to make the flame bird so obedient and like a pet, which fully explained the status of the Vermilion Bird in its heart.
And Wang Xiaoming, who has been ignored, secretly thought: Although it looks like a very ordinary picture of a child stroking a bird, if you know that the child is also a bird in a certain aspect...... It's amazing...... Well...... The little bird soothes the little bird...... Well, weird enough.
Since the appearance of the Vermilion Bird Beast, Wang Xiaoming has been in a state of being ignored. Artoria and Liv's attention has been on Suzakumon, and Suzaku has been keeping an eye on Artoria. For him, the only male, he knew that Vermilion had only glanced at him and hadn't looked at him again.
It seems that my strength is well hidden, and it's not very good, but my "fully displayed strength" is still only under Al, plus my other performances, it seems that she should just think I'm Al's subordinate or something, in short, I have succeeded in becoming a passerby, yes!
It is difficult for Wang Xiaoming to say whether he is hiding his strength, he has nothing but the ability to "make all wishes come true" (the absolute immortal body that is obviously cheating is forgotten, the former directly includes it). After debugging, his current strength is at a relatively high level, much weaker than the current Artoria, and it is not enough to see in the depths of this Demonic Beast Forest, so it is no wonder that he will be ignored by the Vermilion Bird Beast.
Therefore, theoretically, he did not hide his strength, and his strength was indeed just that. But once you add that slightly cheating "invincible" ability, the situation is a little different. As if controlling the direct outcome and influencing the movement of reality...... It's like a god, a "god" in the truest sense of the word. It's hard to tell.
So Wang Xiaoming felt that he should have paid some price in exchange for this ability. It's just that the price doesn't know what it is now, and it may be known at a critical moment later.
Wang Xiaoming was ignoring for a short period of time, thinking about his own ability.
He felt that it basically didn't matter if he was ignored or not, now this thing was already developing in a good direction, didn't he see that the little girl of the Vermilion Bird Beast was smiling and looking at Artoria? It was clear that the favorability was rising properly, could it be that the Vermilion Bird Beast was attacked by Al like this? Okay, you are Al, handsome is different! And why is the Vermilion Bird Beast not arrogant, it is actually the one percent who has won, damn it.
As Wang Xiaoming thought, the Vermilion Bird Beast's impression of Artoria was indeed good. She had already sensed the situation when Artoria was fighting the Flame Bird, and originally wanted to come forward to teach this human girl a lesson that didn't know the height of the sky. If it was any other holy beast, only the White Tiger Beast would appear in person like her. But after that, the blonde girl's various behaviors made the Suzaku Beast's impression of her continue to improve, and in the end, she also let the flame bird drink the potion, and recovered from her physical injuries, and she roughly understood the process of the matter, so the matter passed.
Of course, the reason why she "stopped" so easily due to her impatient personality was due to the persuasion of other holy beasts, and the elves had an alliance with them, so it was necessary to ensure the safety of the elven princess and her relationship with her. The Vermilion Bird Beast is impatient by nature, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't know what to do, and she can still endure it in the face of the overall situation.
But...... Just because she can endure it doesn't mean that a certain girl can endure it......
"That...... Vermilion Bird, I have a request, and I hope you will grant it. Seeing that it seemed to be in the past, Artoria didn't know why and suddenly became impulsive.
"Say, if I can accept it, I can consider it. The little girl continued to pet the flame bird, as if she were teasing a pet.
"Please...... Please, you fight with me!" Artoria said earnestly.
Wang Xiaoming, who was ignored on the side, held his forehead with his hand, looking helpless.
Here we go again, this battle maniac, it's not a big deal......
