The camera returns to Gloucester, in the lounge of the Leprechaun Ball.

"You're asking us to take you back to Red Douglas?"

Habert Lott looked at Jasmine in surprise, as if she couldn't believe her ears.

"No, as you can see, I can't leave this city for the sake of Gloucester's safety, or my elven realm will be invalid."

Jasmine said earnestly, looking at the two girls, Custer and Gareth.

"So I'm going to entrust the content of the mission, which is to ask Lord Trotter, the fairy knight, to send Lord Artoria Custer, the 'Child of Prophecy', and Lord Gareth, the 'Savior of Norwich', to Mistress Red Douglas and bring them back to Gloucester."

Hearing Jasmine's words, Gareth scratched his head a little embarrassed.

"W-What savior, how can I be so remarkable, most of the credit goes to Lord Red...... Alas? Children of Prophecy? Artoria-sama? Oops, hey, hey?!!! ”

Gareth, whose mouth could almost fit three eggs, looked at Custer dumbfounded, but the latter stared at Jasmine with a solemn expression because she knew it was no longer time to hide her identity.

"Miss Jasmine, you should know if you help us publicly......"

"It could be seen as a betrayal of Queen Morgan, right—rest assured, Lord Artoria, I know better than you the consequences of doing so."

Jasmine sighed softly, her gaze falling on Casterna's chosen staff wrapped in layers of white cloth in the corner.

"But, as Red said, it's time for me to make a choice, if there's a possibility to change the status quo......"

At this point, Jasmine paused and looked at Custer.

"Take it as my test for you, bring that man back, and I will be willing to risk offending Morgan and support you in fulfilling the prophesied pilgrimage—of course, if necessary, as Habermeth said, I will be the bride of Red Douglas as a symbol of my alliance with you."

As soon as Jasmine finished speaking, Gareth and Habert Lott covered their mouths in surprise.

Could it be that this is the legendary confession...... Or a marriage proposal? ”

"No, after all, the groom who is the protagonist is not here, but we can see that Jasmine is serious......"

However, Custer closed his eyes for a moment, then shook his head slightly.

"No, I'm not going to do it for your promise—"

In Jasmine's surprised gaze, Custer said to Jasmine in a firm tone.

"If you want to form an alliance with us, we can talk slowly...... But I'm going to save Red of my own will, not to accept your mission—if I have to swear to this Miss Habert Lott to be a ...... The bride's words should also be done by me, not by others. ”

"Because he is my irreplaceable companion!"

——

"I'm sorry!"

Gareth bowed deeply to Custer, which made Custer look overwhelmed.

"Why, what's wrong Gareth, why did you suddenly ...... me?"

"I'm stupid, really."

Gareth looked at Custer guiltily and muttered in a low voice.

"I didn't even notice the identity of Miss Artoria, obviously you and Lord Red are a natural pair of talented women, I actually disturbed your intimacy so unamorous......"

Custer looked evasive, awkwardly tugging at the corners of his clothes, and said in a nervous voice.

"You...... You're mistaken, Gareth. It's obviously me who should apologize, not only poking out such a big basket, but also hiding my identity from you. ”

"Of course it's not Miss Artoria's fault! I knew that Miss Custer must have spoken out so as not to embarrass me, but my elm head had not been able to detect Miss Custer's kindness. ”

Just as Gareth and Custer were apologizing to each other, both thinking they were at fault, a small figure interjected between them.

"Okay, okay, let's talk about the topic of jealousy later, we should be ready to go."

Seeing Habert Lott rummaging for something from the small satchel on his waist, Gareth and Custer looked at each other, and finally Caster asked in a whispered with some curiosity.

"This ...... Miss Habert Lot, how are you going to take us to Red? Anyway, I asked Gareth just now, and Red's carriage is still outside the city, but we can also take Mr. Rabitt's carriage ......."

"That's not going to work, I've seen Nokna Reya's carriage just now, and it's faster than any elven horse I've ever seen—and we don't know where they've gone, so how can we catch up with them."

Hearing Habert Lot's words, although Gareth and Custer both looked a little anxious, they calmly waited for Habert Lot's action.

"Found it! I haven't used it for hundreds of years, and I almost forgot where I put it. ”

Gareth blinked, looking at what was in Habert Lot's hand with some confusion.

"Can this really take us to Mistress Red? Alas? Artoria-sama, what's wrong with you? ”

Unlike Gareth, the moment Castor saw what Habert Lott had taken out, he immediately opened his mouth wide and froze in place.

"How, how, isn't this ......"

"Well, this is a gift from an old friend of mine."

Habert Lott muttered in a nostalgic tone as he stared at what he had just found in his satchel.

It was a ring, a ring that shimmered with a faint purple light.

"It's a bit dangerous, but if you make a vow to act not for your own sake but for the happiness of others, you can control it..... Come on, Gareth and Custer, hold hands together, and we're ready to go. ”

Habert Lott took a deep breath and slowly placed the ring on his small index finger.

In the next instant, a purple light enveloped the three teenage goblins.

"You all concentrate and think with love about the man you're looking for—"

"Then leave the rest to the power of the almighty Star Blue Stone!"

——

On the field dozens of kilometers from Gloucester.

Red, who had been closing his eyes tightly after becoming the Emperor of Heaven, suddenly seemed to notice something and looked in the direction of Gloucester in the distance.

(What's wrong, Red?) ）

"Nothing, there seems to be new emotional energy fluctuations over there...... But it doesn't matter, let's focus on this side first. ”

Red slowly descended from mid-air, guarding Maeve who seemed to be unable to fight not far away, and landed at the place where the Heavenly Thunder Demon Pestle automatically sought the enemy and landed just now.

In the middle of the charred bushes and meadows, a petite figure lay quietly on the ground, while wisps of green smoke rose from its body.

Red frowned slightly, and while remaining vigilant, he approached the figure.

It can't be killed by the thunder all at once, right?

In terms of size, it looks like a girl, wearing a long white dress that is very different from the style of Fairy Kingdom Britain, and modern leather boots can be seen in the ankle-length skirt.

Sure enough, it should be a human from outside the fairy country, and it seems that she is indeed Maeve's master, but is there really a magician who can be put down so easily?

But Red couldn't sense the breath of life in the body in front of him, not to mention that he didn't even feel his heartbeat when he breathed, could it be that he was temporarily in shock because of an electric shock?

After hesitating for a few tenths of a second, Red decided to save the person first.

After all, although there was a conflict with Maeve just now, the first priority for Red is to investigate the situation first, and Maeve has always wanted to invite Red just now...... That's it, to be honest, I can't hate her.

(Humph!) ）

Feeling the sourness of Hope in his mind, Red quickly stopped thinking as much as possible, and half-squatted on the ground to gently turn the unconscious girl over.

"Hey, wake up, explain in advance that I'm in self-defense—"

However, the moment he saw the other party's face, Red was stunned.

Although Red has always subconsciously thought that he is an Oriental, he still has more contact with whites and blacks after crossing over, and the beauties he has seen are more Western.

But the one in front of him is a typical oriental face, with delicate and elegant facial features, even if the black hair is messy, it is difficult to hide his beautiful appearance.

Not far away, tiny glass and metal parts can be seen, which look like the remains of glasses......

Not good!

At this moment, Red's heart suddenly became alarmed, and he immediately realized who the girl in front of him might be.

However, when Red wanted to jump back to get away, it was too late, and at that moment he felt something clasp his wrist.

You must know that after the fusion of Red and Hope, the Heavenly Emperor form and physique have already reached the Servant level, and it is impossible for ordinary humans or low-level goblins to compete with them in strength.

"Hmph, I knew you were a pervert, just wait for the rabbit..... Now it's a flaw. ”

The woman in front of him, who had thought that he had stopped breathing and heartbeat, suddenly opened his eyes, although it was a typical Oriental black pupil, Red could catch the flickering dangerous red light.

"If you can obediently become Maeve's puppet, it will be a little happier for you, and now you can only see hell."

"Let me go!"

A chill rose up Red's spine, and he didn't hesitate to raise the lightning blade with his other hand, trying to cut off the hand of the woman in front of him who was grabbing his arm, but his blade of light was also grabbed by the woman with her other hand with her bare hand.

Although the power of thunder and lightning on the blade of light was burning her palms, making an unpleasant sound and the smell of burnt flesh and blood, the woman in front of her did not look painless, but her expression became more and more crazy.

"Even abandoned by the fate of destruction, my eternal weeping...... O sky! O clouds! Curse life with tears of pity!! ”

As the woman in front of her chanted, a black phantom in the shape of a flame seemed to appear on her body.

At this moment, Red immediately made a decision.

Shout!

Seeing a flash of blue light, Hope was separated from Red's back with a bewildered expression, and Red also lifted the Heavenly Emperor form, and his ability was greatly reduced.

"Red?! Merge with me again—"

"Order with a spell to immediately move yourself as far away as possible!!"

Red shouted in an almost roaring fashion, and as the spell on the back of his hand lit up, Hope was forced to fly like a cannonball by a strange force.

At the same time, the woman in front of Red lit up with a dazzling blood-colored light.

"Do you want to escape? It's too late—"

"Cursed Blood Corpse Sigh!"

Bang!

It was a self-detonation, but a terrifying self-detonation.

The furious blood-red magic erupted around the female body in front of her, tearing her own body into countless pieces, and at the same time, it also caused Red to bear most of the impact at close range.

How terrifying, how crazy, it was a devastating explosion both physically and mentally, and Red only felt as if his body had been pierced by countless bullets in an instant, and when he came back to his senses, there was no more flesh intact than a centimeter of flesh on his body.

Could it be that this body is about to end its journey here?

"Red! No!!! ”

Faintly, Red seemed to hear Hope shouting from afar.

Don't come here, run away, silly girl!

Red opened his mouth, but his lungs and vocal cords were so broken that he couldn't make any sound, and when he tried to open his eyes, trying to see what was going on with what little eye he had left......

Syllable!

Something stepped on Red's face, and from the blurred vision, it appeared to be some woman's bare feet.

"Hmph, it's finally done, so let's just do it from the beginning, I don't even need a servant."

An arrogant and pleasant voice sounded above Red, the voice of a woman who had destroyed her body because of the self-explosion just now, and then .....

"Uhh

Hearing this scream made Red's heart stop beating half a beat.

"You still threw yourself into the net? But all I want is this man, your words are useless, let's get rid of it here - hey, what are you doing, Maeve?! ”

"Huh? You say there's no need to do superfluous things? Don't rub my nose and face, I'm your master, you should obey my orders...... Alas? Have you run out of spells? Woowoo ..... It seems like I accidentally used it a few times in a row, but it doesn't matter, I've already won it myself anyway. ”

"Anyway, don't get in my way, I don't feel good when I look at this guy, what kind of hope is it, obviously I can't see Lord Xiang Yu, this kind of thing can actually be happy...... Hmph, pluck out the wings and dispose of them. ”

Red felt that the flesh and blood all over his body were burning, not only because of the attack he had just encountered, but because his emotional energy was completely irrepressible.

"Live...... Hand ......"

"Huh? Is it still alive? That's good, you can see it for yourself - uh-ah-ah!! ”

Swish!

The feel of flesh being sliced, the pain of burning through his body, these were all extremely familiar to Red.

"Don't you like hope, then I'll give you something more interesting......"

"Grit your teeth, poppy, and I'll make you feel the real hell of rage."
