In the depths of the Imperial Palace, it belongs to the exclusive sword hall of the eldest prince Apollo.

Huge crystal chandeliers hang from the high dome and emit a soft glow that makes the entire room shine.

The floor is paved with intricate ornate magic circles, and the fine lines and colors dazzle the eyes.

Dressed in a light cultivation suit, Apollo was slashing at the imaginary enemy projected by the magic power.

Again and again, he swung his sword blade with strength and confidence, and the blade shimmered with cold light.

The blade slices through the air, creating a sonic boom with each attack.

The focused Apollo showed superb swordsmanship in the dance, and when the virtual cursed beast rushed towards him, his figure shuttled through the sword aura with lightning speed, and the sword light and moves intertwined into a beautiful and wild picture.

The perfect blend of strength and speed, sword intent and sword heart.

As an eighth-order promoter, Apollo's swordsmanship has reached its peak.

But he was not satisfied with the status quo, and Apollo had to pursue a more extreme realm.

His figure danced in the sword light, every movement sharp and precise.

The eyes reveal the pursuit of strength and the transcendence of self.

He needs strength, he needs more power.

The end of the sword practice.

Apollo, who was sweating profusely, watched his black hair stick together, hanging in front of his eyes, and his vision was hazy.

He put his fingers on his forehead, the hair passed through the fingertips, and he reached out and brushed the hair up, and came to a big back full of déjà vu.

"How is the status of Princess Diana now?"

Apollo took a short break and asked directly to the guards who were waiting on the side, "Has she left the royal capital now?" ”

The guard said respectfully, "Her Royal Highness has joined an informal team and has now left. According to the Raven Emissary, their target is the Blighted Mountains. ”

Apollo couldn't help frowning, he knew very well how terrifying the blight mountain range was, and the rich miasma that would never get rid of it would not only obscure his vision, shield his perception, but even continue to lose blood and slow down his poisoning state.

Even now that Apollo was already an eighth-order promotioner, he didn't dare to set foot in it alone.

Isn't the little sister looking for death?

Apollo said fiercely through a few wisps of worry in his eyes, and he was cold and strict with his little sister, even at the expense of giving her difficult tasks.

As a matter of fact......

I know everything.

"Blighted Mountains? How did it go where? What the muscular old man is doing. ”

"As far as I know, Mars has not made any specific arrangements for the crusade against the Sixth-Order Cursed Beast. This is the decision made by Her Royal Highness herself, and she chose to join the Iron Beast Mercenary Regiment......"

The guard was still talking, but Apollo directly interrupted him and asked, "You said it's the Iron Beast Mercenary Regiment?" ”

"Tsk, it's a bit of a problem."

The sub-people had some dealings with the demon guys who lived in Kazdale, which was the reason why Apollo would return to the royal capital.

It seems that everything is a coincidence.

As soon as he returned to the royal capital, a group of sub-people set their sights on Xiaomei, is this really a coincidence?

"Okay, I got it. Go down. ”

Prince Apollo said solemnly, and the guards bowed their heads and slowly withdrew from the sword hall.

When there was no one around, the sword hall returned to silence.

The coldness and seriousness on Apollo's face were lifted.

The corners of his mouth wanted to smile, but he couldn't pull out a little arc for a long time.

The cold prince rubbed his somewhat stiff face.

Sometimes, after wearing the mask for a long time, you can't take it off.

Thinking of the contents of the guard's report, the worry in my heart could no longer be hidden.

Little sister, you can't be abducted by others!

Apollo couldn't wait to make sure Diana was safe.

He stretched out his palm and constructed a magic spell, and from then on he was able to contact the raven demon who was in charge of monitoring from a distance.

Anxious in my heart.

Apollo wondered what his cutest little sister Diana was doing.

Have you been bullied, and have you ever resented your brother?

The picture slowly appeared.

Apollo, who was still nervous, couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth again when he saw the picture.

Sure enough, they are thinking too much, they are too vegetable......

No, to be precise, the dish is to pick the feet.

Can a group of people be beaten to death by a slime?

Three question marks popped up in Apollo's head.

？？？

In the surveillance screen, there is an unusually happy and funny scene.

The three of them and one dragon were chased and intercepted by a large group of giant slimes with abnormal Q bombs, running from east to west, and then from west to east, with smoke and dust billowing out, and finally surrounded by groups.

The winged Rune and Ace escaped with their flying abilities, with the exception of the two little ones who were completely consumed by the slimes amid screams and noises.

The scene comes to the wasteland outside the royal capital.

Ace, who is still a little reliable, waved his wings behind his back, and thousands of feathers separated, and those giant slimes that were temporarily unable to move were killed by the feather blades, and the two children who were swallowed by the slimes were also rescued.

Kitt and Diana were both half-kneeling and began to cough heavily, the slimy, wet feeling on their bodies making them feel awkward.

"Goo! Kill me! I'm not clean anymore...... Woowoo woo ......"

Kitt, covered in unknown slime, blushed and reaching out to cover her somewhat tattered chest, she was still shouting something.

"Karma! It's all your fault! If it weren't for you not letting me touch it! I'm not going to chase you either! You won't step into King Slime's lair with one foot, and you won't attract so many monsters! Whining...... You're responsible for me! ”

"Karma? Kaha. ”

The young dragon fluttering its wings and floating in the air was still laughing out a tasteless laugh.

In Lune's opinion, this was purely Kitt's own doing.

Others know how to feed a cat strip first!

There is no good end for the white prostitution party!

Rune looked back at Diana.

He saw the blonde girl standing there quietly, bowing her head slightly, looking at her toes.

The slime slime on his body had soaked his clothes, clinging to his chest and back.

As a royal daughter, how could Diana ever be so embarrassed?

The shyness was evident on her face, her cheeks were crimson like a flower, and her eyes shone shyly, not daring to look directly into Rune's gaze.

"Don't ...... Don't look at it...... I think...... Go take a shower......"

She bit her lower lip slightly, as if trying to suppress the shame in her heart, her hands trembling a little, not knowing where to put it, not knowing how to express her emotions.

Diana tried to shrink her body a little, as if she wished she could hide in this small position, avoiding all attention.

"Karma?"

Confused, Rune flew up to Diana, which made her face redder a little, her eyes busy, and she whispered.

"Don't ...... Don't look at your mother like that...... What a shame ......."

The moment Diana blushed showed the innocent and lovely side of the girl, and people couldn't resist wanting to care for her and give her care.

It is this shyness that makes Diana's demeanor particularly moving, so beautiful that it does not need to be said.

Lune felt something in his heart feel deeply touched.

The system beeps also rang one after another.

[Friendship +50]

[Friendship Points +100]

Lune quickly withdrew his somewhat bad gaze and looked directly at the setting sun on the horizon.

Reality is not a game, you can transfer with one click when you enter the dungeon, after the Iron Beast Mercenary Group leaves the city, if you want to go to the Blight Mountain Range, you still need to walk for more than ten hours, and you also have to pass through the territory of some low-level cursed beasts.

Those things are not strong, and they are also limited and planned by various spell arrays, and the cursed beast will not go out, as long as it does not approach, as long as it does not die, it will not encounter danger.

They are completely used as pets in captivity to help newcomers with their skills, and even then, they are still prone to danger if they are not careful.

It's not like Kitt inadvertently broke into King Slime's territory when he was messing with Rune, causing so many monsters that they couldn't clean it up at all.

At present, the configuration of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group is a fifth-order and two third-order promotions, plus a mascot, although Ace, as the eldest brother of the team, has a double cultivation of material and law, but the main means of attack is still based on close-range combat, using the high mobility of flying to pull.

And Kitt is not good at head-on confrontation, according to her, she is a scientific researcher, not so powerful, and what she is best at is developing large carrot people.

However, those things were left in the hometown, and it was impossible to bring them to the royal capital.

Kitt is currently carrying some small magic guides with him, mainly for the poisonous miasma that will be encountered in the Blight Mountains, and their thinking is only to enter it to collect dragon poison flowers and plants, rather than confronting the cursed beast head-on, and when encountering monsters, just run away.

An agile assassin, a functional support, is still a little difficult in the face of a large-scale beast tide, and lacks a tank that can resist the front, a mage who can inflict large-scale damage, and a priest who can save the wounded and recover from injuries.

In this way, it can be considered a complete team.

Although the traditional sense of slimes is not strong, the attack power is too low, but they also have the anti-heaven skills of reducing physical damage and high-speed self-healing, it is difficult to cause damage to large slimes with knives and axes, once the body is captured by the slime's tentacles and then devoured, it is difficult to break free.

Especially when a beautiful girl is preyed on by a slime, something nice will happen.

The strength of the small slime is very weak, only about the zero order, and ordinary people can kill it, but the large slime is a cursed beast at the top of the first order, which is a catastrophe for ordinary people, even if the first order is promoted, it is easy to die before leaving the school and become food.

Therefore, the crusade against a large slime has also become a threshold task for second-order promotions.

Of course, for the Iron Wolf Mercenary Regiment, this is only a little tricky for them, and it seems to be embarrassing, but in fact, King Slime and most of the large slimes have been cleaned up.

It's just "slightly" a little embarrassed.

"Good...... It stinks! ”

There's really nothing to clean up in this wilderness.

So, when Rune saw it, Kitt began to pinch her nose and complain, the wet mucus on her body had already volatilized a lot of stench under the afternoon sun.

"Quack Quack ......"

Lune's gargar laughter grew more and more presumptuous.

It made Kitt want to dig a pit and bury herself in it!

Not to mention that this young dragon is still laughing at itself!

The puffed Kitt had to ask for help from the little Nana on the side.

"Nana, do you know any water-type spells? Can you change some water out? ”

After all, when she joined the team, Diana said that she was a mage, or under the name of a well-known archmage, and ordering a hydrotherapy technique should be a matter of hand-to-hand capture, even if she didn't know water attribute spells, she wouldn't even be able to gather water elements.

Diana was slightly embarrassed, she did master quite a few spells.

But in the end, his teacher had never taught water attribute spells at all.

After all, Archmage Mars has always thought that water spells are skills that only girls can master, grinding and chirping, there is no fart damage, and it is better to be a priest in terms of auxiliary ability, explosion is art, and damage is paramount.

Even, once published a violent argument with discriminatory colors - the mage who specializes in the water system is not normal, and he is only suitable for performing flowers and birds at the banquet!

So Diana guessed that there was a high probability that something bad had happened to the teacher when he was young.

Diana's main output methods are now divided into three types, spells with two attributes of light and fire, melee hand-to-hand combat skills, and the highest level of cleric skills.

Friends who often kill people should know that it is easy to kill people, but it is difficult to throw corpses .jpg

Seeing Diana turn her gaze weakly, Kitt's expression froze on her face, and she asked rhetorically, "Are you...... You're the Master, aren't you...... You really know how to spell......"

Diana was even more worried, she turned her head directly, and said hesitantly, "It should be...... I guess it's ......."

"I said big brother, we shouldn't be fooled......"

The expressionless Kitte reached out and wiped the mucus on his face, and looked back at Ace, but the people shrugged, looking like they didn't care about themselves, Kitt just wanted to play the dragon, but he didn't even review it and let people in.

Who can be blamed now.

Ace is more concerned about whether Diana knows the terrain than whether Diana knows the terrain or not.

You must know that the terrain of the epidemic mountain range is complex, and the danger is rare in the world, coupled with the fog surrounding, ordinary people walking into it are afraid that they will lose their way in a few minutes.

Therefore, Ace can only find some reliable teammates through the office, but fortunately, Diana's answer before is indeed reliable and concise, as if the topography of the Blighted Mountains is engraved in his mind, like a walking map navigation.

This ability to memorize maps shocked Ace, who thought she could find some old investigators who had gone to the Blight Mountains to do tasks, but Diana never went in at all, she simply memorized the map too many times to remember it so deeply!

So, who needs to memorize so much irrelevant knowledge, Ace can't think of anyone who can get such a detailed map of the Blighted Mountains.

Plus, a dragon who confesses the Lord......

In Ace's opinion, Diana should be the baby daughter of a nobleman in the royal capital, and now she is just sneaking out to play.

Therefore, Ace is also a little curious, what is Diana going to do in the Blighted Mountains?

They were a last resort to save people.

Is there anything about an aristocratic child like Diana that is worth giving up a privileged life?

"So, Diana, why do you want to come with us?"

Ace asked.

He didn't expect Diana's answer, and he said it directly and amazingly.

"I want to enter the Blight Mountain Range to defeat the Sixth-Order Spell Beast, and when you finish picking the herbs, we'll separate. Next, I'm going to go it alone and take out the Sixth-Order Cursed Beast. ”

"Ah???h

Both Ace and Kitt were dumbfounded, buttoning their ears, thinking they were hallucinating.

Is this little girl crazy?

Kitt directly reached out and touched Diana's forehead.

"Hey, don't burn it. How did you start talking nonsense. ”

"I'm not kidding, I'm serious......"

Before Diana could explain something, a cold wind blew suddenly, and dark clouds rose in the sky, and above the high clouds, there seemed to be a huge figure whizzing by.

It is large enough to cover the sky and the sun and bring eternal disasters.

Everyone couldn't help but look up, and the chill made Rune shiver.
