Chapter 59: Lead by example
Kate's assassination brought certain benefits to Age, in addition to his relationship with Ketra, one of the most gratifying ones is that Prince Sain no longer pursues the fact that someone hunted the smiling purple calyx. This has been confirmed by Leah.
Leah had been following the matter before, but since Kate's assassination, the gate guards have been busy guarding and tracking down Red Lotus, making it impossible for Sain to pursue Age.
However, Sain no longer pursues Age, but Age wants to start investigating Agee. The reason is simple, Sain is a serious suspect who wants to kill Kate. And Aggie accepted Kate's trade and is now a second-level bodyguard for Kate.
"Huhu~"
In an unknown desert, Kate clutches her sword against several sandworms. In front of her was Tacli, who was shielded by God'Peak's shield. Tuckerley smirked, revealing his white teeth, giving a sunny confidence. Of course, people who don't like him will think that his expression is very arrogant and unstoppable.
"Smack~"
With his shield open, he let some sandworms hit him, then he grabbed one of them with one hand, threw it to the ground, and then trampled it with his foot, and the sandworm suddenly turned into a wisp of dust, which was blown away by the wind and disappeared.
"Okay, okay, even if this level of training is enough, let's challenge a little more advanced. After trampling a few sandworms to death, Tuckerley turned to Kate and said.
Kate understood, and couldn't help him, so she raised her hand and waved it behind her, as if she was giving some order.
Soon, after Kate's signal, the desert she and Tuckerly were in disappeared and became an empty flat field.
This is a training ground within the Sicilian Military Academy, equipped with powerful spatial magic, which can transform the environment and simulate regional magical beasts for actual combat-like training. Whether it is desert, ice, water, high altitude and other environments. Such a convenient training ground was built thanks to the strong national power of the Kingdom of Relia.
Walking out of the training ground, Lisa threw a bottle of water to Kate and Tuckley to quench their thirst and rest, and said with a smile: "You guys better rest first, today's training is over." I'm going to look for Orwell, I don't know what he's going to do. Then let's meet later, goodbye~"
In fact, several of them were in a group participating in the pilgrimage qualifiers this time. In other words, the form of participation in the qualifiers this time is group elimination, not individual elimination. This is no way to do it, after all, there are a lot of people participating in the qualifiers in the entire Ruilia Kingdom, and if you are eliminated by one person, I don't know that the top ten will not be selected until the Year of the Monkey.
Only Kate and Tuckerley were left resting on the sidelines of the training ground, and Kate took a few sips of water and said, "I have something to do, so let's go first." ”
Tuckerly didn't stop her, but after she took a few steps, he suddenly said in an evil tone, "Do you really want to do this?"
"What do you mean?" asked Kate without looking back.
"Nothing interesting. Tuckerley enjoyed it, sat down in his chair and said, "I forgot to tell you one thing, after you were assassinated that day, I went to the clock tower to investigate, and found a slain assassin. ”
"If I'm right......"
"What the hell are you trying to say?" Kate snorted coldly, bowing her head slightly, a little gloomy.
Tuckley's eyes became sharp, and he sneered and said, "Of course I have no ill intentions. I just wanted to remind you that he is a person that you and I can't grasp, and you must be careful when you send someone to investigate him secretly. Even if he is standing with us now, once he is touched by the bottom line, I am afraid he will shoot mercilessly. ”
"Even if you and I are the same, there is no noble young master or princess of the royal family in his eyes, he has ...... Just a belief that is stronger than anyone else. Tuckerley looked at the sky, his eyes a little deep.
Kate didn't answer after listening to his words, just closed her eyes and walked away.
She knew what Tuckley was referring to. The slain Assassin that Tuckerley mentioned about finding on the clock tower was actually the man in black she had sent to capture Aegie in the first place. The man in black was killed, and she could guess that it was Edge who killed him. And the corpse of the man in black appeared in the palace, and she could also guess the purpose of Aggie's sneaking into the palace that day.
She believed that Edge had infiltrated the court with the intention of dealing with her. Although the situation has changed now, she still has doubts about Edge. Although she had brought Aggie to her side, she was still unsure that she would be completely loyal. She needed to get to know everything about Aggie.
That's why Tuckery just said that. The "he" he had just mentioned in that remark was naturally Agey. He thinks that Age is a person who can be trusted and can't be trusted, and Kate is still secretly sending someone to investigate Age, but it is obvious that Age will not like such a thing, which may touch Age's bottom line and lead to Age's "mutiny".
It was his fear that Kate's approach might touch Edge's bottom line that reminded her that investigating Edge's was a potential risk for her. As for why she was obsessed with getting to the bottom of Age, Tuckerley believed that the shock to which Edge had saved her from the roar of Red Lotus's Prison that night was not as simple as it was when she seemed to woo Edge.
That night she felt the breath of death, she felt her own insignificance, even if she was a princess! Aegie had saved her, had brought her back from the Grim Reaper's sword, and her gratitude to Aggie would never be as simple as giving Aggie a little special care now. She's an ambitious woman, and she probably wants Aggie to work for her forever.
I always feel a little sad about it.
When he thought of such a thing, a sorrow rose in Tuckery's heart that he did not normally have. Because...... He likes Kate in his heart, and he usually doesn't show it, just because he is not frank. Now Kate's attention is on Age, and Age is such a different person. Think about it...... Maybe that's how men feel.
He was not jealous of Age, and he would not be despicable enough to deal with Age. He is not that kind of person, as the young master of the duke's family, his arrogance is no worse than that of the prince and princess. He can't do anything that is deceitful in secret. Even if he does evil things, he will be frank and open. Just like looking for Orwell's stubble before, it directly shows that he is unhappy and wants to beat someone!
What's more, he himself is also interested in Edge. From the moment he first met Edge, he felt that Edge's shield was not a simple person. He can't see through Age, and he wants to know Ageie just as much as Kate does. He was the first to do anything to win over Age, but Edgey rejected him.
Although he doesn't have much contact with Agee now, he believes that he will collide with Edges more and more in the future.
Now the whole city of Caanster is on alert, always strictly checking, and trying to arrest Red Lotus. If Edgee wants to catch him, he must show up. But in Caanster he would never show up, he was not stupid, he was not so arrogant, he would show up when a king was on guard.
Then the only way to lure him out is to go outside Caanster. Aegie pondered this, and asked Giroud again to see if he had any good advice. Giroud just told him that if he used his strength alone to deal with Red Lotus, there would be no problem at all. But the problem is that it needs an environment that can use the power of the dragon as long as there is no one else.
If Aegie wants to be efficient and deal with Red Lotus as soon as possible, using the power of the dragon is the best way.
Edgee thought about it, rather than whether to kill Red Lotus and track down the real murderer of Kate, he hoped in his heart to get the right to enter the combat skills database as soon as possible. To get this right, you have to show Kate some results.
"Giroud, let's go outside the city and see if Red Lotus will show up and kill me. If he shows up, you look at the situation and kill him. "Edge has never lacked the ability to think and make decisions for himself, and after thinking about it, he decided to use himself as bait and leave the safety of the city to lure Red Lotus outside.
He knew that he couldn't fight Red Lotus with his own strength, but Red Lotus wouldn't know that he had Giroud's demon dragon behind him. This time, he plans to have Giroud use the body of a dragon against Red Lotus. Anyway, Giroud has been "dwelling" in the Moros Blade for too long, and is usually active in the form of a dragon. For it, as a dragon, this must be very embarrassing.
Similarly, as a dragon knight, Aji has basically never appeared as a dragon knight. This time, it's time to release the unhappiness of hiding your identity all the time. Red Lotus, no matter how strong he is, in the name of the Demon Dragon Knight, he will definitely be able to kill him!
