Shaguya's mood was depressed and heavy.

It is possible that Bai Xiao put the poison in yesterday's wine to cause himself to fall into a coma. If Bai Xiao really had this intention, then this dangerous spell might indeed be used.

Shagua didn't want the mission to fail for her own reasons. But more importantly, the existence of Bai Xiao itself made Sha Guya feel very uncomfortable.

Bai Xiao is the same kind as herself, and Shaguya knows herself very well, so she feels depressed because of Bai Xiao's appearance.

Fortunately, Shagua and Aigtil had already agreed on a battle plan.

When the time comes, Shagua will try to stay away from Bai Xiao, and then Aigtir will be mainly responsible for dealing with the dangerous maid - although the spell that catalyzes the toxin works is targeted, it can still be dodged if it does not appear in the opponent's field of vision or is far enough away.

And after Aigtir defeats Bai Xiao, Shagua will quickly join the battle and share the pressure for Aigtil.

At that time, among the remaining five enemies, only the commander of the Silver Hand was a high-ranking paladin, and the remaining four were all mid-rank.

Although Aigertil and Shaguya are only two people, for one is a transcendent rank and the other is a high-level, they are actually higher than the enemy in terms of combat effectiveness.

So, the biggest problem is still the maid - if the maid strikes first and causes herself to fall unconscious, then it will be Aigtil alone against the two high-level and the four middle-level - and that will be a bit more auspicious. After all, there is a strange "curse" on Aigtil's body, which greatly limits her ability as a transcendental mage.

Therefore, I must not drop the chain here.

Shagua looked at the quiver he had prepared, which contained arrows with adamantite arrows that had been enchanted by Aigertier himself.

It's been a while since I've used a bow, but it should be fine.

It's about eight o'clock in the morning, and there's only an hour left before the mission starts. So, after once again deciding on the plan of action, Shagua decided to go to Aigtil's room and wait for the start of this "escort mission".

☆~

The Crimson Ring, the room of Aigtil in the Silver Hand barracks near Creekstone. There was a knock at the door, and Aigtil waved his hand to lift the ban on the door, allowing it to open on its own.

Wizards are quite handy in many ways.

The person who had come was none other than Shaguya, and Aigtir could already tell from the frequency and intensity of the knocking on the door. Otherwise, she wouldn't have used spells like this - after all, this kind of behavior, which was clearly more like a "mage" than a "priest", did not match her "identity".

Shagua gently closed the door as he entered, and Aigtil activated the spell of the "Soundproof Enchantment" by the way.

The expression on the maid's face was still not rich, but it was much better than when the two had first met, and at least you could tell from her countenance that she was in a somewhat nervous mood.

It's no wonder, in fact, no matter what, Shaguya is only a girl under the age of twenty. It's normal for children to be in a mood of words. It's Ellie's guy, who is obviously hundreds of years old, and he still looks like that......

But let's put that guy's vomit aside for now, and the thing to do now is to comfort the maid lady.

"What's the matter, Shagua, are you nervous?" Aigtiel turned her gaze to her silver-haired maid and motioned for her to sit down beside her, "Come and sit down first, Shagua." ”

"Hmm. Shagua nodded, and sat down next to Aygertier.

"Don't be afraid, it won't be too much of a problem anyway. Besides, with Mr. Elzhe and Miss Xiaofeng here, you won't really 'die', what's there to worry about?" Aigtil comforted in a calm tone.

As Aigertier said, because Aiger is here, there is no need to worry about the "back road" at all. No matter what happens, the situation will never be irreparably worse.

While this is reassuring, it also makes people feel that they are actually receiving the favor of others. Although this is not a bad thing, and accepting the favor of Eiger, who is "the will of the world", will not "seem very cheap", but Aigertil is still somewhat repulsed by this kind of thing.

But it's probably just a personality issue, and if you can solve it on your own, you won't ask others for help. Aigtier felt that he was supposed to be such a person.

However, it is appropriate to use these reasons as a consolation - although it can make you look weak, the feeling of having someone behind you can be reassuring.

But......

"But speaking of which, Shagua should actually understand this kind of thing, why is he still so nervous?"

Lately, Shaguya has always seemed to be a little "overly nervous", or rather a little anxious.

“...... I don't know. In the face of Aigtil's question, even Shaguya himself did not seem to know how to answer.

"Is it because you remembered yourself when you saw 'Bai Xiao'?"

"......" Shaguya did not answer immediately, but lowered his head.

The silence lasted for a long time, and he saw that Aigertil was right.

"Lord Agertier...... I...... Isn't it really weird?" and so Shaguya finally asked the question.

It is precisely because he has come into contact with more people in the past few years that Shaguya has been thinking about such questions all the time. But in recent times, this sense of confusion has become more and more intense.

Why is that?

Shaguya can't say, maybe it's because I've lived with everyone for too long. Although there are only five people, life on the "Empty Ring" has given Shaguya an indescribable feeling of happiness that she has never felt before.

Shaguya, who is trained as a "maid", has no idea how normal people live. It is for this reason that Shaguya feels inferior to herself.

And Shaguya's inferiority, Aigertir is more or less aware of it.

"yes, you look weird. There is nothing wrong with that. ”

Listening to Shaguya's question, Aigeril also thought for a long time before he replied in a calm tone. And then—

"But what's wrong with that?"

Staring into Shagua's eyes, Aigtil asked.

Aigtir knew exactly why Shagua was asking this question - her killing of the five knights of the Silver Hand some time ago had not been approved of by anyone, which made Shagua suspicious of her actions.

"Yes...... What's the problem?"

Shaguya repeated Aigertier's question, as if she was in some kind of confusion.

"yes, do you think there's anything wrong with that? Now that the five of us have known each other for a while, to tell you the truth, don't you think anyone between the five of us is 'not very strange'?"

"We don't know for sure whether Mr. Eizhe is a 'sapient being' or not, so let's not talk about it for now. Ellie's words and deeds are still like a child after living for more than 500 years, isn't that normal? Not to mention Xiaofeng, who is timid to the point of exaggeration, and also lacks assertiveness, but she can make that kind of choice to 'give up everything', isn't her heart very conflicted? As for myself...... I think I'm okay, but I don't know what other people think. If I could, I really hope it's not 'masochistic'......"

Speaking of which, Aigtil shrugged.

"Anyway, Shaguya, don't think about it now. When the time comes, as soon as the battle begins, you just have to find a way to hide where Bai Xiao can't see. If it's a chaotic attack, I'm confident that I'll be able to get rid of her quickly - don't you underestimate me, an old witch who has lived for hundreds of years?"

"Hmm. ”
