Chapter 99: I Want You to Marry Me
The "Fisherman", with its sails of the four-pointed star Idilis and the white stone gate insignia of Menise, has begun to wave its crisp bells, urging passengers to hurry aboard. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Lance, I'm not here, you must take care of your body and don't let me worry. Don't be reluctant to spend money, eat better. And be sure not to stay up late, it is not conducive to the recovery of your wounds......"
At this time, Veronica, who was saying goodbye, began to chatter endlessly, giving Lance the illusion that Veronica was actually seeing him off.
Lance kept nodding in agreement. At this point, Lance was enjoying the moment. There is a gentle and beautiful girl in front of herself, a warm moment that nagged because she cared about herself.
But at this time, Eve was also giving instructions to a woman wearing blue hard leather armor and a long sword pinned to her waist. This woman is Eve's personal bodyguard, Hannah, and Eve's most trusted bodyguard. Outsiders call her "The Lionheart Virgin", but Eve never lets her soldiers call her that.
"Hannah, on this trip to Menise, you must escort Winnie. Especially when passing through the Earldom of Clay, I'm afraid that the Iron Helmet Mercenary Regiment will deliberately make things difficult. β
"Yes!"
Hannah replied in the characteristic tone of a soldier. A simple "yes" has fully demonstrated the majesty and momentum of Hannah's soldiers. It was as if around Hannah, there was naturally a wall of arrow towers that moved with her, overlooking and intimidating everything around her.
The female guard, Hannah, is 1.8 meters tall and has blond hair and blue eyes. Veronica and Eve's stature is a little too small compared to her. However, Lance felt through her eagle-like eyes that this Hannah was definitely a standard soldier who was decisive and obedient to orders.
"By the way, let's go and see if the 100 hussars obey Sir Andrew's orders. If they make a small hill for me, or become a ruffian. You can do whatever you want. I'm sure you can handle it well. That's it. β
"Yes!" Hannah said with the strength of a soldier, holding her heart in her right hand, and giving a strong and powerful Idiris's military salute, "Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
Then, in reluctance, Veronica said goodbye to Lance and sailed towards MΓ©nice with Eve's bodyguard, Hannah the Lionheart Virgin.
When the sailboat disappeared from Lance's view, he and Eve turned away from the harbor area. For some reason, Lance felt a sudden sense of unease in himself.
"What are we going to do next, Eve?" asked Lance, following Eve.
"We are ready to leave for Sekeo. β
"Sekeo, are you going to the Metuk Magic Wall?" Roxani looked at Eve with anticipation and excitement as she poked her head out of Lance's backpack excitedly.
Eve nodded and said, "That's right, that's where my sister Isabella disappeared, and it's also one of the three major junctions bordering the Demon Clan's base, the Metauk Demon Domain. It's more convenient to scratch your tongue and scavenge for information there. β
Lance interrupted Eve suspiciously: "One of the three passes?
Eve nodded and said, "Count." MΓ©nice Pass in the south, MΓ©nice Pass in the south, Metuk Wall in the center, and Ash Pass in the city of Hand in the north are the three roads leading to the Metuk Domain. The army of demons' servants also took these three paths to attack. However, the largest of these is the Metuk Magic Wall in the south of Sekeo. β
"It's not really a wall. β
Loxani excitedly rushed to explain: "That's right! There is a majestic black city wall that is more than 20 meters high and stretches for 30 kilometers. It is the main gate of the Demon Clan's base camp, the Metauk Demon Domain. It is rumored to be an impregnable defense system forged by the evil god Metuk himself with divine power. β
Eve agrees:
"Yes, but it is not just one wall, but a complex defense system of 13 walls. Arrow Towers, Urn Cities, Magic Towers, Ballistas, Patrol Eyes, Flying Cavalry, and countless patrols are intertwined, watching over each other and guarding this terrifying gate. They will mercilessly wipe out any creature that is not a demon servant who enters the walls. β
Lance swallowed and said, "You don't think you're going there to scratch your tongue and search for information." β
Eve smiled calmly and said, "Yes." It's the intelligence distribution center of the demons, so it's naturally the most efficient to go there. β
"But how do I sound like it's also the most dangerous? β
Eve looked at Lance beside him and showed a wicked smile: "What? Are you afraid? Don't worry, with me protecting you, what are you afraid of? And you just need to stay in the rear, you don't need to go to the battlefield." At least I don't look like you can go to war,"
"Who's afraid! Isn't it just sneaking into the battlefield?
"Oh, then I'll let you act with us, as we say. β
When Lance heard this, he suddenly felt that something was not right.
"I'll go, you actually used the agitation method on me!" Lance slapped his head in annoyance, shook his head and said, "I can't prevent it!"
"Haha, I didn't expect that you, a person with high military literacy, would actually be able to provoke the generals. Eve was already smiling from ear to ear at this time: "It's a shame that you were still in prison before using the agitation method on me. It seems that if you want to become a general, you need to cultivate more. β
Lance shook his head and sighed, "Who knew it was a trusted friend who used the Agitation Method." If I were an enemy, I wouldn't be able to fall for this pediatric scheme. β
At this time, Eve also returned to a serious expression and said, "Lance, there is something I lied to you and Vinnie, I want to apologize to you." But for the sake of the big picture, I had to do it. In particular, I can't let Winnie know, or she won't agree to me doing this. β
Lance looked at Eve's serious but guilt-ridden face, combined with the previous conversation. Lance guessed, "You mean you weren't joking, do you really want me to infiltrate the Metuk Demon Domain with the team?"
Eve nodded. Although Lance felt the guilt in her heart from her tone. But there was no trace of regret in Eve's eyes, only a firm answer. I'm afraid that if Eve is asked to make a choice again, she will still choose like this:
"That's right, I actually have my own considerations. I'll go to the side of the Metuk Wall, steal the information, and bring it back to Sekeo. This back and forth will definitely waste most of your time on the road. And there is so much information in one intelligence station, I can't bring it all back. At the same time, I don't know the magic language, and even if I carry information, I can't tell what is important and what is irrelevant. So it's best to let you go with the team. And with your ingenuity and ability to analyze politics, military affairs, and situations, I think you will understand me. β
Lance sighed and said with a wry smile, "Okay, although I don't want to admit it, but you have praised me like that. I have to say, you see through me. Yes, if it were me, I would do the same. After all, let me sneak in with such a jade tree and handsome magic language translator, not only will the efficiency be much faster, but it can also nourish the eyes, how good"
Eve was amused by Lance with a "poof": "You are not serious. Originally, I was a little guilty about you, but now that you are messing around, I just want to beat you up. I finally know why Winnie likes to be with you, after all, it's so much easier and more fun to be with someone as flamboyant and smart as you. β
When Lance heard this, he hurriedly said seriously: "If you have it, then I'd better be serious." I wanted to use your guilt as a threat in exchange for a small reward. When you say this, not only is the small reward gone, but you also have to be beaten for no reason. It's worth the loss!"
"You're really ......" Eve now swept away the seriousness and guilt before, and completely integrated into the atmosphere created by Lance: "Okay! After all, I deceived you first, you say, the conditions are free." I don't think there's anything I can't afford to give yet. β
Lance looked at Eve, raised his eyebrows with a wicked smile and said, "Really?
Eve said proudly: "Let's go, my Eve has a promise!"
"Okay!
"Say!"
"I want you to marry me!"
