On the morning of the seventh day of their arrival at the stronghold, they had a brief breakfast and were strolling through the fortress as they had done the previous days, observing the structure of the colony's pathways and the patrol routes of the guards. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Then Yuffie saw a tall member of the "Tube" rushing over from the other side with a panicked face.

"Well, that horrible guy is here again!" The man panted and shouted, "Damn, Lord Weifeng just wasn't there...... Brothers here, hurry up and get your weapons, or he will destroy our supplies again!" ”

"Need help?" Lynn waved at the other party. Asked with a smile, "When it comes to fighting, I'm still a little confident." ”

“…… Yes? The other party was obviously stunned for a moment, and his tongue was a little knotted, "You better stay ...... No, if you can help solve the problem, it won't be impossible...... Anyway, I'm going back, you guys take care of yourselves! ”

He gasped for air, turned and ran back. The Tubu members beside Yuffie grabbed their weapons and swarmed after them. For a while, no one cared about the four of them left here.

"Let's take a look, too." Yuffie looked at the hallway that was much quieter for a moment—the facility was so soundproofed that they couldn't hear what was going on there—and then looked back at the puppet girl, "Anya will take care of you, okay?" ”

"Don't worry." Man Tianxing replied with a smile, "Even if she dies accidentally, I can ask my mother to recreate a body for her, just like Noka." ”

"Please don't say such scary things." Lin responded as she took the lead in running down the corridor, "Hurry up, maybe you won't see a good show if it's late!" ”

Yu Fei answered, quickly following in his friend's footsteps, and at the same time cast a few protective secret techniques on himself. For wizards, there's always nothing wrong with being prepared.

They made their way through the still narrow corridors to the upper floors of the fortress. In the hall where the first few people arrived, with the plaque of "Loyal to the Country", she saw that the crowd was surrounded by what seemed to be the 'cause' of the chaos.

The six people, dressed in light leather armor and dressed in distinct attire from the members of the Soil Department, stood in the center of this hall. They each hold a different weapon, their backs lined up in a circle inward, and face off against 'enemies' who are several times their size.

Unlike the other five, whose faces were serious, the young man in front of them looked quite relaxed. He wore a blue cloak, a smile on his face, and an iron spear nearly three meters long in his right hand, which even made people wonder how he could fight in such a small room.

As if noticing Yufie's gaze, the man easily pulled his gun and squeezed his eyes at her instead of speaking.

"Total, in short. The person you're looking for isn't here, and the question you're asking ...... We don't know the answer either! A member of the stronghold who seemed to have some status shouted at the other party, "This is just the logistics department of the Pale Hand, if you have the ability...... Go, go and find trouble with the fog or the shadow department! ”

"Of course we want to go. But it's not just your whereabouts that are easier to find. The young man shrugged, "Come, tell me where their nearest stronghold is, and I'll stop beating your ideas." ”

"But we really don't know!" The member looked like he was about to cry, "You, you bandits...... That's the reason I used last time! You guys...... Just say what you want, I can't give it to you! ”

He snapped back his voice and turned his head to look at the pink girl who had just patted him on the shoulder, and was now walking past him to the 'enemy'.

"I can take you there." Yuffie calmly looked at the young man with the spear in hand, "I know who you're looking for. ”

"Oh?" The man chuckled from his nose, "How do you want me to believe that what you say is the truth?" ”

"It's simple, because I'm not a member of the Soil Division." She spread her hands and pointed to a group of heavily armored men behind her, "You see, with the situation of a few of us, even if we want to join the Earth Department, Wei Feng will not agree, right?" ”

As the two talked, Rin and Mantianxing led Anya through the stunned but relieved members of the stronghold who stood beside her. The young man on the opposite side looked them up and down, silent for a moment, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.

"Sounds reasonable." He said, "Then please come with me honestly." ”

"As you wish." The pink girl was the first to step forward and greet each other with Inil etiquette, "I'm Yufi Stanmidz. ”

"Lea Leno." The other party replied with the same courtesy, and then waved his hand casually, "This harvest is good, call it a day, boys!" ”

The six 'enemies' clenched their weapons and slowly retreated under the nervous gaze of the Tsuchibe. The four of them followed each other's footsteps and easily left the underground fortress without anyone opening their mouths to stop them.

For now, at least, she's helped Tsuchibe solve a problem, Yuffie thought with satisfaction. How those members and Wei Feng reacted afterwards was not something she needed to care about.

……

"Thanks for the help." When they were some distance away from the earth, Yuffie stopped and thanked Leia solemnly with witch etiquette.

"You're smart." The young man whistled, "It seems that Musk is indeed not wrong." ”

If it was the innkeeper, it would make sense. Musk may not have great power, but as an old friend full of stars, it is normal to open such an inconspicuous but comfortable storefront and have some personal secrets.

"It seems that I will visit Musk again when I have time." She replied with a smile, "However, judging from the reactions of those people, I'm afraid it's not the first time you've been in trouble with the Tsuchibu, right?" ”

"I don't have any holiday with them." Leia snorted, "It's just that I can't get used to that guy in the wing." In order to achieve my own goals, I can actually go along with 'that guy', I really saw the wrong person. ”

"That's it." Lin nodded again and again, "So, is the person you are looking for Shui Yun, or the pervert called Moment?" ”

"Then you need to ask—" The young man's face suddenly became serious, "Do you know where the moment is?" ”

"I don't know." Lynn replied neatly, "But in terms of hating him, we're the same as you." ”

Leia chuckled dryly, shook her head slowly, and sighed.

"How can you be like me, and it's better not to be like me." He said self-deprecatingly, "Protect the people around you, Miss." ”

Lin looked at each other seriously and nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, if that pervert dares to come over again, Yuffie and I will definitely make him look good!" ”

"That's good, if you get caught again, I'm afraid there won't be anyone to save you." Leia shook the spear in his hand and turned his back, "Farewell, may you all have a safe journey." ”

Without looking back, he walked down another fork in the road, and the men who followed him said goodbye to Yuffie and the others, and followed in the footsteps of the young man quickly. For a while, there were only four of them left on this road again.

It was only then that Anya patted her chest lightly, as if she had finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, is this the 'adventure' you want?" Mantianxing asked half-jokingly.

"I don't know...... Maybe? The girl who was the demon king frowned, biting her fingers and thinking, "Leia, and Yu Feng...... What is their purpose? ”

"As the saying goes, whatever the enemy wants us to do, we do the opposite, and that's right." Yuffie tucked her long hair back at the back of her head, "There's no need to bother them with anything - I'm still a little confident that they won't find our whereabouts." ”

"Is that all?" Lin blinked, not quite willing, "I still want to teach that guy a good lesson." ”

Yuffie walked over to his friend, turned around, and looked in the direction they had come. There were no more strongholds in the Tsuchibe from here, but she knew that there might be many more similar strongholds in the Empire.

"Our relationship with "Pale Hands" can't end so easily." "But for now, let's stop going on adventure and enjoy traveling." ”
