"That....... What is ........?"

Traore looked up at the dazzling red light that burst into the sky, and his eyes were unsurprisingly dull.

He is a warrior, a very elite warrior, after years of training and fighting with monsters, he has a sense of battle that belongs to a warrior.

If they play against opponents of the same level, they can use this sense of smell to detect their opponents' mistakes; If they fight against stronger enemies, they can also sense where the danger is coming from.

But now, in the face of this red light that pierced the heavens and the earth, he could not perceive anything from it.

It doesn't have any lethal power?

It's a joke that can't be laughed at.

And the only possibility left was unbelievable to him.

"Setland, when did someone come who was just like me, or even stronger than me? It can't be!"

Settlerand is geographically remote, close to the neighboring Blue Land, and it is one of the border cities, and the nearby city-states are also where the army will inevitably be stationed, and there is indeed more than one warrior of his level. But as the leader of this side, the Marquis of Traoré is not ignorant of the strong men in the surrounding Setland and the surrounding towns, he can count how many gaps in anyone's weapons, and with the discipline of the army, it is impossible to allow this level of existence to cross the jurisdiction and go to someone else's territory.

So, if this person is not from the military, who can it be?

Alien adventurer?

This is even more unlikely.

The value of Setland lies in its proximity to the border, there aren't many secret realms or ruins to explore, and there aren't particularly many no-man's lands for more powerful monsters to survive - the golden-scaled bear was driven by him after running all the way around, and there are no powerful monsters like it nearby.

All these factors made the Marquis almost certain to say that "this is impossible", even though it had already happened.

"Speed up!"

As soon as the marquis gave the order, the knights under his command immediately drove their horses and rushed towards the location of the outpost at the speed of a rapid march.

When they arrived, they were greeted by a devastated outpost and few wounded with little loss.

The Marquis grabbed a difficult person with a calm face and asked, "Tell me, what happened."

"Great, my lord......." The man trembled and swallowed when he saw that it was the Marquis, and said in a panic, "Yes, there are demonic beasts that have attacked us, and we, we have killed many people, and then, and then....... Somebody killed it.......

"I don't need your briefing!" The marquis's broad palm exerted a slight force, and his eyes seemed to burn with devouring fire, "That person, who is it!"

"We, we don't know each other....... "he, he's here with a young lady........ We really don't know who he is!"

Miss?

The Marquis of Traoré reacted immediately.

He let go of his hand and ordered his men to search for Corinna's traces and bring her to him.

It didn't take much effort for the men to find the slightly distracted girl on the side of the golden-scaled giant bear with a huge piercing wound.

"Miss, the master is looking for you."

As if she hadn't heard, Corina stared at the bear without saying a word. ….

"Miss.......

"I hear you." The girl's response was very cold, far from her style of a can.

This abnormal performance shows that she is in a very bad mood at the moment, and she no longer even pays attention to the etiquette she has always chased.

As the marquis's personal guards, the knights naturally knew the identity of the girl, so they didn't dare to offend more, so they had to order one person to go back to report the situation, and the others stayed by the girl's side and waited for her to leave.

Soon, the Marquis himself came to her side.

"Miss Corinna, I have a very strong interest in the gentleman next to you, so could you please let me know, his

Identity?" The Marquis's words seemed polite, but in fact, the cold in his voice was as cold as the moonlight tonight.

「.......」

In response to the Marquis's questioning, Corina finally stopped being silent, turned her head, and said briefly, "I don't know."

"You don't know?" The Marquis pulled out a cannibalistic smile, "He's your guest."

The marquis, whose plan had been ruined, was in such a bad mood that he didn't even bother to say the most basic "you" in the most polite way.

However, no matter how bad his tone was, the only answer Corinna could give was "I don't know."

- She really doesn't know.

「........」

Taking a deep breath, the Marquis tried to slow his mood slightly.

He tried hard to tell himself that killing her, all the work he had been preparing for so many years was in vain - he knew very well that Yinok always liked to hold the decision of everything in his own hands, and if he broke out alone, he would never get any response.

After some self-hypnotic words, the marquis's mood finally recovered a little, and the guards around him also stopped staring at the surrounding onlookers, and the palms holding the spears relaxed slightly, but they still did not relax much.

Corina's emotions will determine their next moves.

Fortunately, the girl's eyes were never on the marquis's body, and she did not notice his unpredictable face, and as for the murderous intent hidden in the words, she did not seem to be aware of it, and was not moved.

"Miss." The Marquis asked as calmly as possible, "As for the identity of that person, put aside for a moment, and before that, can you tell me, where is the person?"

This time, Corina's reply was no longer "I don't know".

She looked back at the Marquis and whispered, "I want to know too."

The Marquis's brows furrowed slightly, and before he could ask a question, he saw her talking to herself.

"After killing this bear, not only me, but everyone else was looking for her traces, but nothing was found."

"And not only him, but also the 'bard' beside him, has been lost."

"Bard?" The Marquis suddenly remembered what Mira had told him the other day.

The Marquis cared very little about matters other than himself, so Mira's request was approved without surprise, and of course he would definitely not participate.

In retrospect, inviting a bard to perform, rather than a professional team, was problematic in itself.

"It's none of Miss Mira's business." Corina saw what was in the Marquis's mind and said calmly, "It's my request." ….

"I wanted to see you, so I took advantage of Miss Mira, the bard was just an excuse, an excuse I found, Miss Mira had nothing to do with it."

"Oh? So ........"

"Whoever he is, he's got you covered, hasn't he?" Perhaps finally dissatisfied with the Marquis's attitude, Corina retorted, "He took out this sudden beast, saved so many soldiers loyal to you, and perhaps even avoided a catastrophe for the townspeople."

"Huh."

The Marquis sneered.

He didn't think that Corinna's words were due to the "innocent lady".

If she was really a silly white sweet, then she wouldn't be here at all.

Besides, his plan is not an exaggeration to say that it is a conspiracy, and people with a little brain can figure it out as soon as they think about it.

There's no way Corinna can't see that she's just trying to prevaricate herself, and even has the intention of saving the mysterious person.

"Okay."

The Marquis nodded, turned and left.

Since you don't say it, then you can check it yourself.

In any case, he also dragged this "good Samaritan" out and thanked him fiercely.

.......

After the Marquis leaves, Ke

Lena still hadn't left the body of the giant bear, which had begun to dissipate.

Some soldiers who never left thought that she wanted to collect the parts of the giant bear as materials, so they ignored her, but in fact, the golden-scaled giant bear is a special existence as a magical beast, and it activates the bloodline, and the flesh and blood will be turned into pure magic, except for the heart, which is still an organ made of flesh and blood, the other parts can be taken out separately to see it as a monster.

After the monster dies, everything in the body will be turned into pure magic, which needs to be collected by special means, otherwise, assimilation with heaven and earth will become their only high school home.

At this moment, the time of death of the golden-scaled giant bear in front of her was before the bloodline ability was removed, so the body parts except the heart part would be exactly the same as the ending of the monsters.

Since it's not for the material, then, for what reason?

- Corina herself doesn't know.

At this moment, her brain was in chaos, and the thinking ability that she had was still acceptable could not be used at all at this time, and the only thing that flickered more than other thoughts was only doubt.

Who the hell is he?

With such a powerful force and mysterious identity, it is said that he is a simple "traveler"?

She didn't believe it at all.

And when Corina turned back and tried to follow the information exposed by the other party to find his origin, she suddenly found that the other party did not leave any information related to herself, he was like a white cat in the thick fog of the night, jumping around her, but she couldn't see the trace at all.

The only clue may have come from the "bard" next to him.

After a long time, she slowly exhaled a cloudy breath and decided to learn something from "Miss Alyssa" first.

"A bard from the Blue Lands....... Let me see if it's true."

She muttered softly, as if she was making a decision, but she already had a vague guess in her mind. ….

Conjecture that is completely contrary to the decision.

........

As it turned out, she was not wrong in her guess.

After several days of inquiry, she had learned that there was not a single bard named "Alyssa" in the Blue Lands, and even the name could be fake—because it was almost as common as the "Green" in the Blue Lands as a surname, and it was as common as three or four out of ten people.

And other towns have never heard of such a bard coming.

It was as if she existed only in Setland, and only for a few days.

Corina is finally willing to admit that she has been arranged by some plan that is difficult to detect on the surface.

And just when she wanted to continue the investigation, she suddenly heard that there was an accident on the marquis's side.

Having not disposed of the cursed-tainted wounded before, and he didn't have the resources to heal them all, he quietly hid them under the pretext of "sending them to a big city for treatment", and then ordered his guards to dispose of them.

His methods are very good, and his prestige is still there, no one suspects that his actions have other purposes, and the secrecy of the whole thing is okay, and no one is aware of the blade he is hiding in the depths.

However, even so, the unexpected appeared.

He has two main forces, both of which have been corrupted by the [Curse of Rot], and these two main forces, one is to go with him to sweep the demonic beasts, and the other is the army that was stuck on the key road in order to prevent the wounded from escaping.

In the dark corners that no one was aware of, the [Curse of Decay] spread silently among these two troops, and because the two troops were relatively solid regular troops at the request of the Marquis, they were not Yamamura Nofu, and their physical fitness was very good, which caused the [Curse of Rot] to break out and then be detected for a longer time.

When it was discovered, a large part of the people's bodies were already close to collapse.

The establishment of these two forces was almost devastated.

Trao

No matter how rich the resources Marquis Lei has, he is only a marquis after all, and his identity and territory greatly limit the upper limit of his wealth.

Everything he has can only support four such elite troops at most, and now, two of them have been destroyed at once, and the blow to him can be called devastating.

Not to mention the waste of a lot of wealth, the time spent training these troops did not happen overnight.

Under the double loss of time and money, he who has always been in excellent physical fitness actually fell on the sickbed.

The fall of the Marquis, combined with the few combat strength of the remaining two troops, was no longer enough to involve him in the strife organized by Yinnok.

........

"So, without knowing anything, has my purpose been achieved?"

Corina sat in the carriage home, watching the people pass by outside the window, and a self-deprecating smile curled into the corners of her lips.

"It's ironic."

Obviously, she didn't do anything, and she didn't even know where the key point of the event was, and after nearly half a month of nothing, in just a few days, her goal was completed inexplicably.

The only thing she knew about was perhaps a meeting with Mr. Hodesos.

"Speaking of which........ He said, 'I'm going to regret it, why?'

She asked herself.

If the thing to regret is to meet him, this is undoubtedly wrong.

Although the identity background of "Mr. Hodesos" is very mysterious, no matter what, he finally helped her achieve her goal, and she has to thank him, how can she regret it?

And if it is said that the relationship with the Marquis of Traoré broke down because of this, it is impossible to say.

After the Marquis made his decision, his and Christine's dealings were irretrievable.

"So, what the hell is it.......

There was a clear bewilderment written on her pretty face.

Just then, a carriage passed by hers.

This should not be a notable thing, after all, they are not out of the city yet, and it is normal for carriages to be on the streets.

However, when Corina noticed the neck of the coachman, who looked like a peasant woman, a flash of inspiration flashed through her mind, and her blood began to boil from top to bottom.

She burst out of the carriage with all her might, mounted the horse that pulled it, and under the bewildered gaze of the coachman, she cut the chains that connected the carriage with the sword she carried with her, twisted the reins, and shouted loudly at the departing carriage.

"Stop!!".
