Hearing the young man's confession, Mary stood in place at this moment, not knowing what to say at all. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Of course, she knew that Crowk liked her, and Mary had always liked him very much, and it couldn't be said that Mary was not mentally prepared for when she might be shown love by him. But she didn't expect that the other party would actually say it at this time. This caught Mary off guard, she didn't know how to react, and she even felt like her mind was blank, and she couldn't think about anything at all.

Although for Mary, this should have been a very happy and excited moment, but now, listening to Crowk's words, Mary found that there was no turmoil in her heart, and she was not even as excited as she thought, on the contrary, she felt a little tired.

That's right, it's boredom.

Even the girl herself couldn't tell what the reason was, and at this moment she felt a little tired of Crowk's confession.

However, Mary did not show it on the surface, and in fact, even she did not know what to say. It wasn't until she noticed that Crowk's hand was pressing on her shoulder that she suddenly woke up, and then immediately subconsciously took a half step back and regained her distance from Crowk.

"Mary?"

Crowk ......... Sorry, I don't know what to say......... I am happy......... But ......"

Indeed, even Mary herself felt that she should be happy now, but Mary was really not happy, and at this moment, in the depths of her heart, there seemed to be a faint shadow of another man.

"But?"

Hearing this, Crowk's face also changed.

"But what?"

“............ I'll tell you straight, Crowk. ”

Sensing Crowker's expression, Mary had no choice but to say helplessly, she had been with the other party for so many years, and Crowk was not a scheming person, so looking at his expression at this moment, you could know what he was thinking. At this moment, Mary suddenly moved in her heart and thought of a good solution.

"In fact, I did go to the Twilight Forest to meet my lord. However, it is a business affair between us. ”

"Official, Mary, you ........."

"As a mercenary, I took the commission of the lord, so I will report to him, is there anything wrong with this?"

"This ......... Of course, there is no problem. ”

Seeing the girl in front of him ask so reasonably, Crocker didn't speak for a while.

"But, what kind of commission did you take, and besides, why did you sneak around? With ordinary commissions, there is no need to hide your whereabouts so much. Also, before you and that man...... He ......... to you."

Hearing this, Mary frowned, but her evaluation of Crowk in her heart was lowered by a few points, of course she knew what Crowk was referring to, in fact, the scene where Yulian gave her the necklace before had been collected by the girl in her heart. Every maiden has a romantic plot, and Mary is no exception. She was able to keep this as a good memory in her heart, but she didn't expect to be peeped at, and Mary was a little angry in the depths of her heart at this moment, but she still barely suppressed her anger.

"This is a personal commission, I don't want to trouble the mercenary group, and if everyone knows that I am a girl who has accepted the commission of the lord, although I don't want to know the content, but it is inevitable that some people will associate some bad things, so I deliberately didn't tell anyone. ”

Speaking of this, Mary glanced at Crowk meaningfully, and Crowker's face also turned red, of course he understood what Mary meant at this moment.

"As for before......... The lord just gave me a gift, and there was nothing special about it......... Meaning. ”

Mary herself hesitated a little when she said this, and then she finished speaking.

"So, what exactly is the mission?"

Crowk didn't notice the hesitation in the girl's tone, and he quickly asked again.

"My lord wants me to investigate something, but I can't tell you the specifics. ”

"But, Mary, if you're alone, the burden is too heavy, and I can help you, too?"

"Thank you, Crowk. ”

Mary smiled at Crowk in front of her, and then she took two steps forward and took the boy's hands.

"I can understand what you mean, but I'm a mercenary, Crowk, if you take a mission and I'm going to help you complete it, will you agree?"

"Of course it's not ........."

Crowk stopped before he could finish his words, and of course he understood what the other party meant.

"But, but ........."

"I'm glad you confessed, Crowk. But now is really not the time, it's a very important task for me, and I'd love to accept it, but not right now......... At the very least, when this mission is over, how about we talk about it?"

"This ........."

This time, it was Crowke's turn to be a little unwilling.

"But...... I ......"

"Don't worry, Crowk, I know what I'm doing. Don't you believe me? If you believe me, then don't bother asking again, and, if you can, I'd like you to cover it up for me, and frankly, the task at hand is a bit tricky, and I don't want to be discovered by the regiment. ”

"Okay. ”

Hearing this, Claugh was in good spirits again, although Mary did not agree to let him investigate with him, but such a cover also recognized himself to a certain extent. This made the boy's originally depressed spirit reinvigorate again, but even so, he was still a little uneasy in his heart.

"By the way, Mary, that guy really didn't do anything to you, I saw him before ............"

Although he was far away at the time, Crowk also saw Yuren's movements, which was also the most uncomfortable scene in his heart. And when she heard that Crocker didn't open which pot to mention, Mary's heart sank, but she didn't show anything on the surface, but her tone was much more serious.

"He really didn't do anything to me, Crowk, Lord Lord is a good man, he is not like the nobles you mentioned, I think I can be sure of that. I also hope that you will stop speaking ill of him in front of me, although it is your own business to like to satirize the nobles, but if it is just plain slander, then it is too much. ”

At the end of the sentence, Mary's tone was already a little soft, but now she was tough again.

“......... All right. ”

Although he didn't agree with Mary's words, in the end Crowk nodded reluctantly, after all, in his opinion, his relationship with the other party had finally developed, and if he poured cold water at this moment, even a brainless person like Crowk knew that it was definitely unwise to act. Therefore, although he was still a little unimpressed by Mary's words in his heart, he still showed an obedient appearance on the surface and nodded.

"Thank you. ”

Seeing Crowk nodding, Mary finally smiled.

"It's getting late, go and rest, Crowk. ”

"Okay, then...... Good night. ”

Crook hesitated at Mary's words, then smiled and nodded, then turned to leave. It wasn't until after he had left that Mary let out a long sigh, and then threw herself on the soft bed, staring blankly at the dark night outside the window, thinking not of Crowker's confession, but of another man.

"Yuren-sama......"

Mary clutched the necklace on her chest, whispered Julien's name, and closed her eyes.

Time passed day by day.

For Yuren, life has been very quiet these days, the refugees have not come to him again, and the idiots in the field have not made any more moves. But it's no wonder, after all, it's the end of the year, and all forces will want to take a break and welcome the arrival of the new year in a complete state.

Offariel is still asleep, and has no intention of waking up, Shirley and Farin are still taking turns to take care of her, but Farin has been appearing less and less, and after the group of mages under her before signed a contract with Yuren to become magical girls, Yuren has begun to arrange for them to teach real spells. Of course, the dangerous surname of the soul core is not false, but if they are left to figure it out for themselves, I am afraid that the effect will not be very good, and several people will already die. So Yuren simply sent the twin sisters as full-time teachers of the Wizard Knights, teaching them how to use the soul core to inspire and harness their powers.

The results are impressive.

In any case, both Messiah and Semiya are archmage-level figures, and have served as teachers of twelve-star archmages, so it is not difficult for them to teach these mages. And under their teaching, the strength of the Wizard Knights has also improved significantly, although it has not been more than a month, but half of them have already touched the threshold of the middle level, and even if they are given enough time and energy, I am afraid it is not impossible to reach the high level.

In the beginning, these mages simply hoped to reach their goal and regain their title and status. But as time passed, many of them had abandoned their original goals and began to seriously consider how to reach their limits and become true mages.

For their performance, Lotus is naturally very pleased. She had always been ashamed that she had caused trouble with her subordinates and friends, and it made Faren happy to see them make such a significant improvement. Because of this, she has always been a little "idle", and she also began to take the initiative to listen carefully to the lectures of the twin sisters, although in terms of level, both sides are at the level of archmages, and their status is not up or down, but in terms of quality, there is a world of difference. Messiah and Semia's theoretical knowledge far exceeded the level of the Mage's Guild, which made Horaine more and more fascinated the more she listened, and later she even had less and less time to visit Offariel, and spent most of her time asking the sisters for advice.

So, the task of taking care of O'Faryl fell on Shirley alone, and Her Royal Highness the former princess also surprised You Lian a little, after all, she was just a pampered princess, not to mention taking care of others, but others took care of her when she usually ate and dressed. I said that I was taking care of Ofaryl before, but I was just taking care of her by her side. As for changing clothes and scrubbing the body, it's not even as good as what Faren does. But I don't know what kind of changes have taken place in the heart of Her Royal Highness the former princess, but she actually began to take the initiative to learn how to take care of others, and even took the initiative to ask the maids for advice.

"I don't want to be like this all the time, and I want to be able to do my part for adults. ”

And when Yulian asked curiously, he got this answer.

However, this is not a noteworthy thing for Yu Lian, since Shirley wants to do something, of course he will not stop him, as long as it is not a move beyond his own strength, then let her go, so, for Shirley's actions, Yu Lian did not care.

On the other side, Mary's investigation began to deepen. After all, she is a member of the mercenary group, and in front of her, many people will be relatively defenseless, so, under Mary's side knocking, she has obtained some sporadic information, and from this information, it is indeed someone who entrusted the Blue Feather Mercenary Group with the task of inciting refugees. But what makes people wonder is that this mission seems to have been sent from the general assembly, which only makes the mercenary group more suspicious. But because of this, Mary also began to work harder, after all, no matter what, she didn't want her mercenary group to be the culprit.

For a while, Youlian became leisurely, but this leisurely did not last long before he received a letter.

A letter from the Mana court.

"It's really amazing. ”

After reading the contents of the letter, Yulian shrugged his shoulders in surprise, and then looked at Charlotte, who was standing next to him and laughing silently.

"What do you think?"

"Isn't it interesting?"

Charlotte gave a smile and an answer to her master's inquiry.

"Frankly, I didn't really expect them to do this, but it makes it more fun, doesn't it?"

"That's true. ”

In response to Charlotte's response, Yu Lianwei nodded in agreement, but then he picked up the letter with a hint of interest in his eyes.

"It's just that I'd love to meet the guy who came up with the idea. ”

The content of the letter was simple, and in fact, the whole continent was quickly reported.

Led by the Church of Holy Grace, as well as several countries in the north, and other countries and organizations, they jointly filed a complaint with the Mana Court, accusing the Knights of the Last Yan of being suspected of indiscriminately massacring civilians on a large scale and launching attacks on various countries, and they therefore demanded that the Mana Court punish the Knights of the Last Glory for their criminal acts.

As soon as this remark came out, the mainland was shocked.

For many people, they originally wanted to have a peaceful New Year, but for now, this New Year is destined to be unpeaceful.

The Manna Tribunal is a transcontinental organization, in fact, it is not even an organization at all, but a group of countries united with the sole task of conducting an investigation when people are in danger and then issuing a verdict that must be carried out by all the countries and organizations on the continent.

It was not surprising that the Church of Holy Grace and the northern countries would do such a thing, after all, the Knights of the Last Yan had caused such a big mess in the north before, and it was impossible not to be noticed. And the Church of Grace has also had a long-standing grudge with the Knights of the End, so it is not surprising to take this opportunity to vent. However, to everyone's surprise, this time, the Sith Empire actually participated.

This immediately complicates the whole thing.

As we all know, the relationship between the Sith Empire and many countries on the continent is not very good, the reason is very simple, but this time, the statement made by the Sith Empire made people see another meaning. The fact that the Sith Empire is invading the northern states, and the northern states are still accepting the Sith Empire's accusation, has a vague implication that no matter what the dispute between them is, it is still at the level of states and states after all. However, once against the Knights of the End, it was raised to the level of human beings. In other words, for the mainland, the Knights of the End are no longer considered to be a part of the human race, but a public enemy of the human race.

Frankly, this concept is not really wrong. However, many countries did not support their accusations because of this, and the reason is simple: although the Knights of the Last Rites are terrible, they are at least a formidable force, and so far, no one can restrain them.1 It is obviously quite unwise to provoke the Knights of the Last Rites when the situation is still unclear. Naturally, they are reluctant to issue such a notice without any certainty, so as to avoid their own capital being completely turned into dust at any time.

The tragedy of Arashi no Kuni is just around the corner, and it is not so easy to be forgotten. No one wants to try again, there is only one life, there is more than one country, and if they make a bad judgment without authorization, it is not only themselves who will be unlucky, but even more people may be affected, and for the nobles standing at the top, what kind of justice and evil are no longer topics they care about, and they care more about their own interests than these.

And for the crowd, they are more concerned about one other thing.

That is, how will the Knights of the Last react to this?
