The western outskirts of the royal capital, the camp of hunters.

The annual Xilu spring hunting activity has entered its fourth day.

More and more nobles and young knights joined the ranks of the hunters, not only from the royal capital, but also from the surrounding areas of Ugru and the major cities of the province of Saint Yao.

To be able to participate in the spring hunt, of course, these young people from the local area also have a very unusual background and strength, but this spring hunt is a rare stage.

Here they can meet their peers from all walks of life, and maybe even get to know the daughter of a wealthy family, so that they can step into the center of the kingdom.

In particular, when the news of the visit of the priest Xiling of the Holy Mountain Temple to the camp spread, the camp was almost crowded with the nobles who came to visit it, and the kingdom even sent Guards knights to maintain order.

At the innermost part of the camp in the valley, near the waterfall, a large white tent was erected, which was guarded by five other medium-sized tents and separated from the outside world, forming a small kingdom of reading.

The temple's banner was waving in the wind in front of the tent, while two burly and serious Templars stood guard at the entrance, keeping out most of the admirers.

It's just that the young, hot-blooded knights are not so easy to dismiss, and they gather flowers from the wilderness and forest to offer bouquets to the tents, and hundreds of thousands of bouquets are piled up in the flower beds.

Many nobles shouted out Xiling's name and poured out their love—here the wild and fiery sense of the beasts was no longer constrained by aristocratic etiquette and rules.

"Sister Xiling, if you don't go out and show your face again, I'm afraid they won't give up..."

In the big white tent in the middle, Corinna smiled and said to the swan priestess beside her, "I knew there would be so many people, so I wouldn't come!"

In the royal capital of Uglu, Corinna is also a high-profile figure, but next to the most young lady next to her, she has completely become a foil.

The priestess wrinkled her little nose, and her beautiful eyes revealed a little cunning: "Sister Corinna, I'm here to accompany you to meet your lover, and you're embarrassed to say..."

Corinna covered her mouth and smiled: "Okay, even if my sister owes you a favor, but aren't you going to Sal to lead the trial?

"Oh my God, Sister Corinna, you're so cunning, you want to be with your lover and say it clearly, and you beat me again..."

"Hehe, I'm good for you!"

Two peerless beauties laughed, one mature and beautiful, the other beautiful and innocent, if such a scene was seen by those fanatical knights outside, I really don't know what kind of sensation it would cause.

Finally, in the evening, escorted by a team of Templar knights, Miss Xiling and Corinna, who are known as the pearls of the kingdom, appear as guests at the hunting camp to watch the ceremony.

It is a tradition of the spring hunt for young ladies of famous nobles to be guests, and the knights can present them with hunted magic crystals as gifts, and the one who gets the most magic crystals is naturally the most popular character.

In the past, this most popular laurel crown was undoubtedly the object of many noble ladies' open and secret battles, and the more magic crystals they obtained, the more brilliance they received, and it was enough to show off their pride after they returned.

However, today's appearance of Xiling let them know that there is no suspense about today's crown, although some people may be very unconvinced, but the truth will easily crush their pride.

The camp was crowded, and most of the returning hunters dedicated their hunted magic crystals to Xi Ling, just asking the beauty to smile.

Of course, there is also the surging competition of the same kind, holding back a lot of energy to see who can come up with the most gains.

Of course, there are also some self-aware knights, who know that they and a lady of the sky like Xiling have absolutely no chance, and they dedicate the magic crystal to another favorite object, but they have gained something.

"Miss Corinna, allow me to send you my heart!"

Sayat appeared proudly in front of the viewing table with two attendants, his armor stained with blood, and his handsome and mighty figure attracted a lot of attention.

He placed a heavy fur bag on the table and confidently glanced at the competitors next to him.

The priest in charge of the arbitration took the animal skin bag and poured it on the silver plate on the table, and the colorful magic crystals collided with the plate to make a crisp and pleasant sound.

"One at the fourth level, five at the third level, and thirty-three at the second level..."The priest waved over the magic crystal, unleashing an identification technique: "There are eighty-seven magic crystals in total!"

He identified not only the number and grade of the magic crystals, but also whether these magic crystals were hunted in the past few days, so as to eliminate the possibility of cheating.

Of course, no one will cheat on this, because once exposed, not only will their reputation be ruined, but they will also bring shame to the family.

Eighty-seven magic crystals! There was a commotion from the viewing table.

It is not once or twice that these ladies of the royal capital have participated in the spring hunting ceremony, and they know that it is not easy to hunt in the forests of the western foothills, because there are not many magical beasts, and not every magical beast can dig up magic crystals.

These eighty-seven were definitely quite an astonishing number, far exceeding the results of those who had come before.

Many people turned their jealous eyes to Corinna sitting next to Xiling, although Corinna must not be able to surpass Xiling, but it is glorious enough to win a second place.

Under the gaze of all kinds of surprise, admiration, and jealousy, Sayat became more and more satisfied.

Of course, these magic crystals are not his alone, but they are obtained under his ingenuity, in order to show his face in front of everyone.

Sayat actually really wanted to dedicate these magic crystals to Xiling, but he also knew that he couldn't climb the pearl of the kingdom, so he still targeted Corinna.

"Miss Corinna, I want to invite you to the dance party in the evening..."

He strode forward and stared at Corinna with hot eyes: "I hope you don't refuse!"

It was an unwritten rule that the ladies who came to watch the ceremony would dance the first song in the evening camp with the knights who had given her the most loot.

Corinna's face sank slightly, she didn't have the slightest affection for the arrogant and lustful knight in front of her, how could she be willing to dance with him.

"Knight Sayat, how do you know that you will be the final victor?" Xiling next to Corinna smiled faintly: "I don't seem to have seen Viscount Leon yet!"

Although Xiling rarely leaves the temple, she also knows Sayat and knows that he covets Corinna, so she spoke out to relieve Corinna.

"Haha!" Sayat pretended to laugh heroically: "Miss Xiling, of course I have such confidence, as for Viscount Leon, I don't think he will be able to come back today, maybe he will give up and run away a few days earlier!"

The lion's eyes scanned Xi Ling's pretty face, and he tried his best to hide the trace of greed in his eyes.

It's just that although Xiling is young and a little simple, but her surname is extremely smart, how could she not notice the other party's coveting, and turned her face with a cold snort.

"Sayat, don't fart!" Drodick, who was already holding back his anger next to him, jumped out: "Do you think Brother Leon will be as dirty and shameless as you?

"Drodick, today is the fourth day, and it's going to get dark soon..."Sayat looked up at the sky and sneered, "Where's your big brother Leon?"

He knew very well in his heart that Leon would never come, and if there was no accident, I am afraid that even the bones would be gnawed by the beasts of the forest now.

As for the accident, it was hard for Sayat to imagine that two fourth-level killers and backup would not be able to take a fourth-level warrior from Leon.

The fact that Leon has not appeared until now is enough to explain the problem.

Thinking of the duel game he had set up a big bet the day after tomorrow, the Lion Knight couldn't help but smile smugly from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing Sayat's smirk, Drodick couldn't wait to punch him in the face.

But at the same time, he also had a bad feeling in his heart.

Leon hasn't appeared since he entered the West Foot Forest, and although it's not a strange thing, looking at Sayat's expression and words... Drodick felt that there must be something wrong with this—was Sayat really despicable enough to send someone to plot against Leon during the hunt?

Corinna apparently had the same problem in mind, and her pretty face was suddenly covered with a layer of frost.

"You're looking for me?"

It was at this time that a calm voice suddenly came from the crowd.

Hearing this, Sayat's smile suddenly froze on his face, like a ghost!

And Corinna was thawed by the frost, and the flashing brilliance of her beautiful face was like a spring flower, and her beauty even surpassed that of Xiling next to her.

Xi Ling's eyes rippled with color and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

The crowd parted, and Leon, who was wearing a black dragon python armor, strutted to the front of the viewing platform.

Looking at Leon, who appeared in front of him unharmed, Sayat's expression was like a dead old lady.

He involuntarily took half a step back, and a look of emptiness flashed in his eyes.

How could this be? Could it be that two powerful Tier 4 Assassins and backup could not take down Leon? Is the reputation of the Shadow Guild fake? Or is Leon so powerful that he can easily kill the Shadow Guild's ace killer?

Thousands of thoughts flashed through Sayat's mind, and his face changed and became more and more ugly.

But Leon didn't pay any attention to him at all, and just smiled at Corinna and said, "I'm back..."

"It's good to be back..."Corinna couldn't hold back her inner thoughts, and couldn't help but stand up and stare at Leon.

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, she would really rush over and throw herself into Leon's arms to send a fragrant kiss.

Just now, she was very worried that something would happen to Leon.

At the same moment, this glamorous fox girl finds herself deeply caught in the love network of Leon, and I am afraid that she will never be able to extricate herself!
