Volume II: The Messenger of the Two Tribes Chapter 43 Forward
Even for gender considerations, the Horned Eagle Beast only used three in the end, because among the five people, even if it was a barely qualified Yi Fan, in fact, only three people could control it.
Luckily, Artoria was born with riding skills, so she could control all the vehicles outside of the fantasy species, otherwise, strictly speaking, only Guy, who was once the head of the clan, would have actually mastered the skills of harnessing the Hippogriff.
If I had known, this might have been a reason to negotiate with Emilia - Yi Fan, who thought so, was very careful not to touch the soft body in front of him.
Due to the sensitivity of Guy's identity, it was obvious that neither Caroline nor Oselli could consider riding a horned eagle beast with him, so the final situation became that Yi Fan and Caroline rode one head, and Saber and Oselle rode one together.
Yi Fan, who was on the back of the horned eagle beast, couldn't help but show a trace of reluctance on his face at the last moment of leaving the holy capital.
After all, for Yi Fan, no matter what kind of place it is, there may be some complicated feelings when he leaves.
The earth is like this, the Night Tribe is like this, even if it is just this holy capital that has only been in place for a few days, perhaps because of the many things that have happened, when he left, Yi Fan also had an inexplicable reluctance in his heart.
Maybe it's because of the companions who came to the Holy Capital together, and now there are two people who have stayed in the Holy Capital, right? Whether it is Lake or Dior, although they are not really friends for Yi Fan, if they are modified by words like companions, Yi Fan will not have a trace of disobedience in his heart.
But this kind of feeling didn't last long in his heart, because now is not the time to think about those things, whether it is what Guy told him, or at the moment when he killed Vladimi, he suddenly felt the power that attracted him in the dark, telling Yi Fan that he still has many things that must be solved as soon as possible.
There are also demonic lurkers in the human world, and according to Guy, it is very likely that he will stay in the Ampenoen Academy that he is going to now, but he has no choice, because after listening to Guy and Baroque's words, he also understands that if he wants to control his own destiny, then entering Douglas College is his only choice, and Ampenoon College is the best way to enter Douglas.
Because, at this moment, there is a trump card by his side that is enough to guarantee his entry into Ampenoen - if he uses the rights of the princess of a country to let a magician who already has enough strength enter it, it is not a difficult thing to think about.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, do you have any thoughts about the guy who assassinated you?" Perhaps out of guilt about taking advantage of Caroline, Yi Fan asked the young princess in front of him as he recovered from his contemplation.
Compared to Oxily, who lost Bryce, Caroline's situation is obviously better, after all, for her, maybe when she came here with those guards, she actually had such an awareness, so when she heard Yi Fan's inquiry, she still retained the reason to think.
"Although it is not yet confirmed, it is very likely that it is a subordinate of the Duke of Dubai. After a while, Caroline finally hesitated and said, "However, it is also very likely that other demons lurking on the continent did it, after all, it is also the easiest way for them to break the alliance between humans and elves." ”
"Duke of Dubaik?" Compared with the later guess, the name clearly said in Caroline's mouth, Yi Fan obviously cared a little more.
"Well, he is the most powerful nobleman in the Vincent Empire, although he nominally belongs to our royal rule, but the nobles who unite around him are actually enough to shake the rule of the entire empire. ”
There was an indescribable bitterness in Caroline's expression, perhaps because at a time when the entire continent was about to be destroyed, there were still nobles in the country who felt helpless to do such a thing for their own selfish desires.
"Is that so? It seems that no matter how you think about it, the road back will not be easy. Maybe it was because he also had something on his mind, so after hearing Caroline's answer, Yi Fan couldn't think of any comforting words for a while.
also seemed to anticipate Yi Fan's answer, Caroline, who was sitting in front of Yi Fan, did not speak, but silently leaned into Yi Fan's arms behind her - maybe because of flying in the sky, so she felt a little cold.
"Whatever happens next, though, I'll protect you, I promise. After all, Yi Fan still couldn't stand the girl's weak appearance, and while looking at the road ahead, he pretended to say this inadvertently.
"Yes. Caroline's body trembled slightly, and finally slowly snuggled into Yi Fan's arms, "Hope, I hope that on the way back, God will make the adult protect me......"
The girl's voice was very soft, making it difficult to imagine her previous speech at the meeting in the Holy Capital, but Yi Fan didn't mind such a subtle change, because he felt from beginning to end that girls really should live like girls.
Even Saber, for Yi Fan, his favorite is actually the moment when Wang became an ordinary person, right?
......
The peaceful and monotonous journey lasted for a few days, not only did Guy's injuries gradually recover with treatment, but even Osili, who had been hit hard, no longer had the same heavy expression on her face as before.
Bryce's death was undoubtedly a blow to Otsilie's loss, and although she once seemed to have only regarded the former as a loyal subordinate, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the relationship between the two transcended that of master and servant, and that strong trust sometimes turned into affection, and that such a thing as affection was actually so wonderful.
Normally, in this case, Osily should have made up her mind to increase her strength and avenge Bryce, but Vladimi, who should be the enemy, was killed by Yi Fan on the same day, which made Osily unable to find the target of hatred for a while, so only grief remained.
However, in the leisure time of rest, Oselli and Yi Fan had a few brief conversations, and then the situation changed.
Because she still has a chance to take revenge, and there is more than one chance - after all, the killer who killed Bryce is just a pawn sent by someone.
Such things are easy to understand, but the parties often need someone to remind them, and then, for a person who has a goal and direction, grief is obviously not the most important thing for her to do, and even if there is, it only needs to be buried in her heart.
But the process of waiting for the enemy seems to be as calm and monotonous as this journey.
After Vladimi's miss, the enemy didn't seem to be in a hurry to assassinate again, perhaps because he was afraid of Yi Fan's strength, or maybe it was just to discuss a more perfect countermeasure.
Whatever the reason, at least for Yi Fan, such a rare peace is also a rare enjoyment for him, because only on such days can he gradually clear the messy but connected information in his heart.
The power of Vladimi's body is not so much similar to the power of vampires on Earth, but rather the special power that humans have evolved and mutated after obtaining the power of demons, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a curse.
And in Yi Fan's guess, this power may also have some connection with the demon seed that had appeared a few times before, so when he saw the attack used by Vladimi, he would improvise and let Baroque capture it and collect the power in Vladimi's body for investigation.
The results soon came out, and compared to the strange power that had invaded his body, the essence of the two was indeed the same.
However, the difference is that Vladimi is just sucking blood, and the person who is parasiticized by the demon seed is a terrible creature that even the flesh has to devour, and relatively speaking, the latter creature has completely lost its mind, although it is an easier puppet to manipulate for the mastermind behind the scenes, but it is obviously very different in quality compared to Vladimi.
Strictly speaking, is the Demon Seed actually just an inferior product born after the mass production of a terrifying existence like Vlarkimi? Recalling the answer Baroque told him after the investigation, Yi Fan couldn't help but think in his heart, after all, he had personally experienced the dream like what happened to Roslet, and he could clearly feel the gap between the two.
"Speaking of which, I really want to go to that evil hand country to investigate the matter of demon seeds. Yi Fan, who was in the middle of the sea, said in a somewhat helpless tone, "However, it seems that the top priority now is to send Caroline back to the Vincent Empire." ”
On the way back, it stands to reason that he will pass through Thunder City, which is ruled by Oselle's father Wind, which is the place that the hero said, but because of what happened in Antola before, Yi Fan, who used the hell karmic fire, was also the one who killed many knights of the Ace Academy, so it was obvious that he could not go to that place when his identity would be made public.
However, this is also obviously a rejection of a reinforcement that may be the most powerful, and if you can get the help of that Wende, then it will be easier to escort the princess, right?
"Yi Fan, it's just for you to prepare a dinner, when are you going to mutter!" Saber, who is a foodie, may not be able to stand it anymore, and finally couldn't help but ask loudly.
"Ah, that, what, I don't know how to cook......"
"I didn't expect God to make you so water......" Guy, who didn't feel embarrassed at all, said in a tone that saw through everything.
