"Oops......... I'm sorry ............! ”

The girl who came to her senses again stood in front of Duanmu Huai with a smile, and kept bowing her head and apologizing.

"Just now I thought you were the demon general who led those dragons, so I accidentally did it......... After all, you see, you look like this......... Hahaha..............."

"Is that the princess that others call her?"

Duanmu Huai looked at the girl in front of him, I have to say, although she is a crazy girl, but she is still good, and she is also lively and cute, for this type, Duanmu Huai has really seen ——— well, I don't know why, he smelled some kind of familiar breath from this girl.........

"That's right, hello, my name is Anicefia. Lukewarm. Paretia, just call me Anice, you're the Iron Warrior everyone calls it? ”

"That's right, I'm Duanmu Huai, and this is Aujis."

"Uh-huh..............."

Aenis Fia circled around Duanmu Huai twice, looking curiously at the power armor on his body.

"It's a strange piece of armor, I've never seen it before, it's like a robot......... Nothing, but how did you fly? With magic? ”

"Of course not, I have my own way."

Duanmu Huai said as he pointed to the jetpack behind him, and hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Anice Fia's eyes lit up even more.

"Wait, so this will make you fly? Can you show me what's inside? ”

"Of course not."

Duanmu Huai decisively rejected Anicefia's request, just kidding, the Inquisitor's power armor is something you can watch if you want to see it?

"Huh? Come on! I'm just looking, and I'm not going to do anything. ”

"Just kidding, do you think I'll take your word for it?"

"I'm the princess of this country, right?"

"Nominal princess, why do you think I'll listen to you?"

Duanmu Huai didn't care about the other party's threat, just an indigenous princess of a local planet, and she was the kind with no power, and she dared to make a wrong idea about the inquisitor's equipment? I'm really impatient.

"Hey..............."

Seeing that Duanmu Huai insisted on refusing to let go, Anice Fia also sighed helplessly.

"Okay, but this is really a direction that I haven't thought about, and indeed if it's this kind of equipment, you can better free your hands and be able to move flexibly......... Ah, by the way, my material————! Mr. Duanmu, then we'll see you later! ”

With a strange shout, Aenis Fia turned around and left quickly, and watching Her Royal Highness the princess leave like a gust of wind, Duanmu Huai also shrugged her shoulders and glanced at Okis.

"Do you think she resembles someone?"

"Ann."

"That's right, do all magic geniuses have similar problems?"

Duanmu Huai pursed his lips, in fact, although he only chatted with this princess named Anice Fia, the other party gave him the same feeling as An, lively and active, unable to calm down, and when he saw something fascinating, he went into it.........

"Forget it, it has nothing to do with us, go back, Ogis."

"Yes, master."

After this, Duanmu Huai and Ogis returned to the inn to rest, and for them, it was just an ordinary battle.

Unfortunately, this is not the case.

Early the next morning, a guard wearing royal armor came to the door, saying that His Majesty wanted to meet the heroes who had repelled the dragons last night, so in desperation, Duanmu Huai had no choice but to take Ogis to the palace.

In the palace hall, Duanmu Huai met the king who ruled the country——— Orfen. Il. Paretia.

The man sitting on the throne did have some royal style, but Duanmu Huai was still standing there, staring at the man in front of him with his head held high. As for Ogis, she just jumped off Duanmu Huai's shoulder and stood quietly beside Duanmu Huai——— she had no interest in saluting anyone other than Duanmu Huai.

After all, he was the Grand Inquisitor of the Inquisition, and even the emperor couldn't let him bow his head, let alone the king of such a small indigenous country.

Of course, others apparently don't think so.

"Bold, why not salute in front of His Majesty the King!"

Looking at Duanmu Huai, who was standing in front of the throne and did not look subservient at all, the guards around the king also shouted angrily. Hearing his angry shouts, Duanmu Huai just glanced at him, and the next moment the guard felt as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer in the chest, and he couldn't breathe and suddenly collapsed to the ground.

Seeing this scene, the other guards also drew their long swords and aimed at Duanmu Huai, but Duanmu Huai didn't pay attention to it at all, he just snorted coldly and looked at the king.

"What's the matter with me? If it's okay, I'll go back first. ”

"Well, don't be so excited, warrior."

At this time, the king also spoke, and he waved his hand and motioned for the others to put away their weapons.

"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid this royal city would have been in flames of war last night, and I thank you here......... Speaking of which, I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm Orfen. Il. Paretia, haven't asked the warrior for your name? ”

"Grand Inquisitor of the Inquisition, Duanmu Huai, this is my companion Ogis."

Duanmu Huai responded lightly, and hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, the king pondered for a moment.

"The Trial Chamber......... Forgive me for being unheard, I've never heard of this organization. ”

"Of course, because the Inquisition has never been in this world."

"But you're here now? Why? ”

"Because the goal of the Inquisition is to protect humanity at all costs, and to eradicate all threats to humanity."

Duanmu Huai stared at the king and spoke again.

"And now, the demons are posing a threat to humanity, so we are here to go to the north to completely destroy the demon king and defeat the demon army."

"I see, it seems that we are all in the same goal."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, a smile appeared on the king's face.

"In that case, would Your Excellency the Inquisitor be willing to cooperate with us?"

"Cooperation?"

"Yes, as you may have heard, it won't be long before my son Algard will personally lead the army of the Kingdom of Parretia in a battle to regain the fortress of the Northlands."

It seems that the rumors in the tavern are really true.

Hearing the king's words, Duanmu Huai's face was expressionless, but he sneered in his heart.

"The recovery of the Northland is imperative, and only by reactivating the Great Barrier of the Northern Fortress can we stop the demons from continuing to move south. If it's just on the ground, then we still have a way to deal with the demon army, but the attack from the sky is really not something we can deal with. ”

Well, ground warfare can be compensated for by numbers and skill, but air warfare is another matter.

"So, when I learned that you had easily defeated the invading dragons, I thought about it, and I hoped that Your Excellency the Inquisitor would work with us to retake the Northland Fortress. After all, there are not many people who can fight in the sky and easily destroy demons and dragons. ”

Saying this, the king's expression also became serious.

"Of course, I won't let you work for nothing, power, status, wealth, I can give you everything you want, no matter what kind of request you make, as long as it is within the scope of what I can do, there is no problem."

"Uh-huh..............."

Hearing the king's words, Duanmu Huai also thought about it, it was not surprising that the king would say this, after all, as I said just now, there is no one in this world who can fight with the demons in the air, which is also one of the reasons why human beings are currently at a disadvantage, and it can even be said to be the biggest reason.

After all, the other person can fly a kite in the air at a leisurely pace, while you can't use your strength on the ground, which is really annoying. And Duanmuhuai repelled the dragon group yesterday and killed more than a dozen giant dragons, which is already considered a dragon slaying hero——— although strictly speaking, those dragons are at the level of ordinary goods in Duanmuhuai's opinion.

At least compared to the dragons they encountered in Manalia, these were just ordinary dragons.

Not even a dragon's roar.

But before that.........

"Yesterday's battle wasn't my fault alone."

Duanmu Huai stared at the king.

"Yesterday in addition to me, there was another Miss Agnis Fia who also worked hard to expel the dragons..............."

"Woo..............."

Hearing the name in Duanmu Huai's mouth, he saw that the king's face changed slightly, and then he stretched out his hand, took out a medicine jar from his arms, and took out the pill and put it in his mouth.

It can't be stomach medicine.

"To tell you the truth, that's the little girl......... In fact, this is another reason why I want you to help me, I have always thought that the little girl's cranky thoughts are nothing more than whimsical play, but last night's battle proved that she does have a way to fight the demons in the sky——— in this case, then it is inevitable that she will go to the battlefield, so ......... I hope that Your Excellency the Inquisitor will take good care of her. ”

At this, the king sighed silently.

"Although the child is naughty by nature, after all, it is my daughter, and I don't want anything wrong with her, both in public and private. Although the child was a headache for me many times, I didn't want to lose her, it was just a father's request........."

"Okay."

After listening to the king's words, Duanmu Huai didn't care too much, just nodded.

"I'll take care of her."

"Thank you."

Seeing that Duanmu Huai agreed to his request, the king's face softened a lot.

"I heard that you are still living in the hotel, and since we are already allies, would Your Excellency the Inquisitor be willing to go to the State Guesthouse to live?"

"No, I'm more used to staying in a hotel."

"Well, in that case, I won't say anything more."

The king didn't pay much attention to Duanmu Huai's rejection of his proposal, but just nodded.

"If Your Excellency the Inquisitor has any other requests, you can come to me at any time, and in order to protect the country, as long as it is within my ability, I will do my best to meet your needs."

"For now, I just want to be able to get to the Northland as soon as possible."

"Rest assured, Your Excellency."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, the king smiled slightly.

"There will be a chance soon."
