I have to say that this time Duanmu Huai's luck is really good.

Following the path pointed out by the village chief, they successfully arrived at the Kingdom of Paretiya, originally Duanmu Huai was worried about whether he needed anything like an identity certificate, but he didn't expect the guards to just check on them and put the three of them in directly.

At first, Duanmu Huai thought it was his luck, but after he went in, he found that the other party had his own arrangements for doing so.

That is the northern edge of the kingdom of Paretia, which has been reduced to a battlefield.

The army led by the demons completely blocked the passage to the north, and even sent monsters to harass from time to time. Fortunately, as a large country, the walls around the Kingdom of Paretia are arranged with an aerial barrier set by the great magicians of the primeval period, which avoids the air raids of the demons like before.

Well, but on the other hand, Duanmu Huai they can't get out.

No, it's not strictly impossible to get out, but there is a prerequisite.

That is to retake the fortress ahead.

To put it simply, in the previous attack of the demons, the fortress station of the Paretya Kingdom responsible for defending the northern border was captured by the demons, and the enchantment also became ineffective. Now the Paretian Kingdom is hiding behind the second layer of enchantment to confront the demons, and the entire Paretya Kingdom has a total of three layers of enchantment, the first layer is the border wall, the second layer is the royal city where Duanmu Huai and others are currently located, and the third layer is in the royal palace.

Because the first layer of the barrier was broken, the demons were able to invade the territory of the Paretian Kingdom, so in order to regain the lost territory, the Paretian Kingdom recruited adventurers and armies to act, and launched a charge against the Northland fortress again and again.

But I have to say......

"Looks like we're completely trapped here."

Duanmu Huai smashed over the last demonic beast with a hammer, and then looked around helplessly. The adventurer's job is mainly to take the lead and clear the front of the threat. But several consecutive attacks were defeated by the army of monsters, which made Duanmu Huai very unhappy, to be honest, if it was just the three of them, they would have run away a long time ago. But every time you have to cover the retreat of others——— although you have also killed a lot of monsters and demons, but this tug-of-war back and forth is not Duanmu Huai's liking.

"The last monster has also been killed, let's go back."

Duanmu Huai turned his head and glanced at Ogis, who was sitting on his shoulder, who nodded slightly, and then Duanmu Huai turned around and walked towards the way he came.

The adventurers' station is at the edge of the city, where adventurers from all over the world gather, and they are all gathered here to fight against the demon clan and the demon king army——— well, no wonder the guard didn't ask him and others what documents they wanted, so he just let them in.

By the time Duanmu Huai and Ogis returned to the inn, it was already sunset.

"Yo, you're back, Iron Warrior, little girl."

Duanmu Huai pushed open the door and walked into the inn, and soon heard the greetings from the adventurers around him.

"How's it going today?"

"As always, the striker has collapsed again."

Duanmu Huai took off his helmet and sat on the chair next to him, the tried-and-tested chair made a miserable noise under Duanmu Huai's buttocks, but he still barely held on.

"But everyone else came back without a hitch, thanks to you."

Looking at the Duanmu Huai in front of him, the adventurers around him were also quite respectful. After all, every retreat requires a human queen, and Duanmu Huai takes on the responsibilities of the queen of the palace every time——— and then kills the pursuing demons.

Over time, just seeing his steel body made the other adventurers feel much more at ease.

"Then again, what exactly is the Kingdom Army going to do? It's been days on end, and the instructions given are vague. ”

"I said I was going to mobilize the army, but why didn't there be any movement?"

After saying hello, the other adventurers soon turned the conversation back to the current war against the demons. And at this moment, a small adventurer who looked like a thief approached and spoke mysteriously.

"Hey, then again, I did hear a little bit of gossip."

"Grapevine?"

"That's right, I heard that this counteroffensive may let His Royal Highness the Prince personally lead the team."

"Huh? Is there a mistake?! ”

Hearing the news, the other adventurers were taken aback.

"What are you kidding, this is a battle that is related to the fate of the Northland, how can it be possible to let a milky imp command the battle? Isn't this sending to death? ”

"That is to say, if it were Her Royal Highness the Princess, it would be about the same."

"Here's the problem........."

"What are you talking about, prince and princess? What does this have to do with the current state of the war? ”

Duanmu Huai also asked the waiter for snacks and drinks at this time, and at the same time asked suspiciously, and when they heard his inquiry, the adventurers glanced at each other.

"Oh, I really don't know, actually, ........."

Soon, these adventurers gave a popular science introduction to Duanmu Huai, and after their introduction, Duanmu Huai finally understood the situation in this country.

According to these adventurers, the king of the kingdom of Parretia had a son and a daughter, which is not surprising in itself, but there is a problem.

That is——— Her Royal Highness the princess does not use magic.

As I said before, in the primeval period of this world, the demons used magic to torture and attack humans, and later humans also mastered magic, so they blocked the attack of the demon army. Therefore, the magicians are very respected, and the Kingdom of Paretya is also a country originally established by magicians, and the royal family and nobles of this country are able to use magic, and it is precisely because of their existence that the Kingdom of Paretya has not been destroyed by the demons.

Therefore, the princess who cannot use magic is obviously a stain on the royal family.

In fact, folk legends have long been said that the princess has given up the right to inherit the throne and is currently completely free-range.

Of course, if that's all there is to it, it has nothing to do with these adventurers.

And the reason why they are so keen on this topic is because Her Royal Highness the princess ——— is also an adventurer.

That's right, although she can't use magic, her Royal Highness is very keen on making magic items, so every time a rare monster appears, she will follow the adventurers to fight it down.

At first, everyone didn't have a good opinion of Her Royal Highness the princess, but gradually accepted her, on the one hand, Her Royal Highness the princess was cute and lively, on the other hand, she was really powerful, and she didn't care that her body would be stained by the blood of monsters, and she always dismembered monsters with other adventurers, so everyone liked her a lot.

And herein lies the problem.........

"I heard that among the nobles, some people think that Her Royal Highness the princess is very popular among the commoners, which will affect the prince's succession, so in order to fight against the princess's popularity........."

"Do you want His Royal Highness the Prince to lead the team?"

Hearing this, the adventurers also sighed in despair.

"When will this group of nobles be able to do something, we are working the front line every day, do they have anything else to do in the future besides discussing these boring things? I think that prince is probably a wreck......... too."

"Why haven't I seen Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

Duanmu Huai thought about it for a moment and made sure that he had never seen anyone like it before.

"Because the time is not right, if you encounter any strange commissions, you can try it, maybe you can meet it. Oh, and aside, the show is about to begin. ”

After saying this, the adventurers also turned their heads one after another, looking ahead with expectant eyes, and then under their gaze, they saw a petite figure jumping out on the stage in the corner of the hall, smiling and waving to everyone.

"Hello, I'm a cute real machine."

"Oh oh oh oh !!"

Seeing the appearance of the real machine ling, the adventurers below suddenly began to scream like a star chaser, and the real machine spirit grinned, and then the music sounded, and then the girl began to sing and dance in front of everyone.

"Looks like the real machine is doing a good job."

Duanmu Huai leaned back in the chair, looking at the real machine Ling who was bouncing on the stage, she did not have the strength of Duanmu Huai and Ao Jisi, and there was only one way to die if she dared to go to the battlefield. However, Zhen Ji Ling also has her own specialty, as one of the most popular idols of Star Alliance, Zhen Ji Ling is quite good at singing and dancing.

So during this time, when Duanmu Huai and Ogis went out to fight, Zhen Jiling was responsible for singing and dancing in the hotel to cheer up the adventurers.

After all, there is a lack of entertainment in this world, and Zhen Ji Ling is professional, so he was soon welcomed by many adventurers, and he also earned a lot of travel expenses, plus the commission remuneration that Duanmu Huai and Ao Ji Si received during this time......... Well, at least now Duanmu Huai can get rid of the net worth of being poor and white.

Of course, it's not without ill-intentioned adventurers trying to get their hands dirty with the real machine.

But......... It's really a horse girl.

Ordinary people, she kicked directly away with her hooves, okay.

The performance time of the real machine singer was not long, but the atmosphere of the whole hall had become lively, and at this moment, the real machine singer also jumped off the stage and came to Duanmu Huai's side like a puppy.

"Ah, big brother."

While throwing himself into Duanmu Huai's arms, Zhen Jiling raised his head to look at him, and at the same time, the tail behind him kept shaking.

"Is everything going well today?"

"I don't think it's going well..............."

"But master."

At this time, Ogis, who was lying on Duanmu Huai's shoulder, also spoke.

"We can get out of here and continue north, and we don't need to stay here too long."

"That's true, but as judges of the Inquisition, of course we have to protect humanity."

Saying this, Duanmu Huai patted Ogis's head.

"Remember, O'Ogis, the Inquisition's mission is to protect humanity and eradicate all that threatens it. It's our duty, and while coming to this planet was an accident, what we're going to do hasn't changed for the Inquisitors. ”

"However, destroying the Demon King can also protect humanity."

Ogis tilted her head.

"As long as the Demon King is eliminated and the barrier is lifted, the master can summon the power of the Inquisition, right? You'll get more results than you do now. ”

"That's just if."

Duanmu Huai shook his head.

"I don't like ifs."

"Knock knock knock —————!"

At this moment, suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps, and then the door of the inn was suddenly pushed open, and then several adventurers rushed in, and when they saw Duanmu Huai, their eyes suddenly lit up.

"Iron Warrior, we need your help!"
