"It's weird, it stands to reason that since the previous incident, the security measures have been improved a lot, and the clansmen are not mediocre, how can they let the assassins infiltrate?"

Luna cautiously examines the pit that had been blown out of the center of the palace's ruins, but she was unable to find much useful information. Aside from the products of the dark magic captured by the Elven Empress, in the current deep pit, all kinds of chaotic and broken elemental energy are intertwined with each other, greatly disturbing Luna's senses. Fortunately, these chaotic elemental energies did not invade under the surface, which allowed the Elven Empress to discover the conspiracy against the World Tree.

The specific nature of those black magic products is being analyzed, and due to their complexity, I am afraid that it will not be possible to fully analyze it for a while...... Besides, at this time, even if there is a result, there is a lack of sufficient manpower for a while, at least until the end of this war, they will have the strength to track down the mastermind behind the scenes.

What upsets Luna is the purpose of the Assassins.

Not only did they try to erode the World Tree, but they also blew up the palaces where the elven royal families lived for generations...... Luna felt that if she hadn't thought wrong, I'm afraid that the real purpose of these assassins was to completely eradicate the royal blood of the elves, right?

But why would they do it?

If it is for the sake of victory in the war, it is more effective to assassinate the officers of the various regiments than to kill the nominal leader? And those intrigues are also difficult to get on the table, for soldiers who lack the necessary military literacy. Once you lose the commander-in-chief, you can exert your combat power. It's bound to be a big discount.

The elves' individual combat is very meaningful, these slender and powerless pointed ears are actually very capable berserkers, especially on the battlefield, they are born with high spiritual self-discipline, and at the same time, they are quite dedicated and sacrificial.

If there is an army of any race that is better than the elves in terms of tenacity. It is estimated that there is only a large army of the undead - because of the lack of self-will, the skeletons do not need to consider the factor of "morale" at all, plus their overwhelming numbers...... If the divine spells of the light line had no special effect on the undead, it is estimated that this world would be a different state now.

What restricts the combat effectiveness of the elven army is the number of people.

The reason why the army of the elven clan has always been known for being a strong general and a hundred enemies is that in addition to the extremely high factor of natural soldiers, the orders issued by the generals can often be forbidden. It's also a very important point. If you let a general choose, it is a well-equipped army with strong soldiers and horses, but no run-in army on the battlefield, or a group of average conditions. But comrades-in-arms who have already lived and died together...... I believe that generals with normal heads will choose the latter.

Without him, you can't stretch your hands and feet, and you have no place for all kinds of martial arts.

And the elves are able to do this very easily.

Excellent soldiers, tenacious fighting will, and impeccable legional cooperation. It is the key to the elves being able to maintain the upper hand with the number of disadvantaged people. Once there is a problem with the commanding officer who is in the critical link, for example, he has suffered a large-scale attrition of assassinations. Without an elven army that can only fight in a coordinated manner, your numerical disadvantage will be magnified by you...... If this phenomenon is not remedied in time. A rout is not out of the question.

Therefore, Luna wondered, even though she already had the ability to attack the elven palace at night and blow up the palace entirely, why didn't the human assassins choose to target the officers of the elven army?

"The purpose is unknown...... Well, anyway, it's just that we elves aren't kind. ”

Luna thinks that there are only a few possibilities to dig deeper - and while the Assassins' behavior suggests that their intentions are unfriendly, for now, they don't pose much of a threat. After all, no matter how difficult the enemy is, the difficulty of dealing with it will be much lower when he is already alert and vigilant.

The fading Assassins, the conspiracies exposed to the sun, Luna doesn't care.

"Ah, Luna, you're here!"

“...... What's wrong with that?"

Originally, I was going to give a speech in front of the palace today, but now that the whole place has been blown up to the sky, this large pool of ruins has played a strong enough effect of combat mobilization -- to make a video of the tragic situation of the palace here and send it to the front line, which will directly make the generals on the front line climax.

This is also the reason why Luna was able to sneak around the site of the palace that was attacked last night, and although she was not a free and casual person, she surprisingly did not like to be in public...... Especially with the Elven Empress.

Well, generally speaking, as a woman, not many people really want to be the green leaves that bring out the red flowers, right?

"I can't find you, I heard that you came here, so I came...... Hmm, did you find anything?"

“...... Just a little bit of an idea. ”

Luna's gaze shifted to the sky—perhaps a realm she had rarely thought of before, because even powerful magicians with the ability to fly would have used the magical reactions caused by magical flight to make it very easy for them to be observed, and it would have been difficult to sneak in covertly. On the other hand, the flight speed of most mages is still very fast.

However, after seeing some of the fighting methods and types of Celestials some time ago, Luna was also eye-opening.

Although the magical reactions emitted by the strange machines of those Celestial Realm people were not small, the height they climbed could reach a considerable distance. At an altitude of nearly two thousand meters, for an elven archer whose eyesight can reach the level of an eagle, it is better to use his eyes to find it directly than to chase the magic reaction.

If at night, the Celestials who have climbed to such a height carry out a surprise attack. It is not surprising that the guards on the royal court's side were not able to detect it.

After Luna told the Elven Empress about her guesses. Not surprisingly, the Elven Empress was very concerned about the news. Table xiàn out quite surprised.

"Celestials, why are they involved in this?"

"Before, when a human magician tried to kidnap the princess, there were also celestial people who intercepted it - I have personally experienced that kind of terrible weapon that is so destructive that it cannot be controlled, and I have no doubt that this big hole is from their handiwork. Besides, since they have no reason to be our enemy, on the other hand, it doesn't mean that they have no reason to live amicably with us. ”

Words that don't take into account the motives. In terms of ability, those Celestials are fully capable of doing this.

"It's just a guess, but let's send a message to the generals on the front line - beware of the possibility of an attack from the sky. ”

===================

After careful investigation and identification, and with a lot of effort, Sheena and Lilu finally found a way to get through the illusion.

"Thank you so much!

As the current leading assassin in human society, Sheena's ability is not only reflected in slashing people, but also in breaking mechanisms and illusions. also has a good attainment. Although the illusion in the area of the "Throat of the World" has become difficult to entangle, with the help of Lilou, who has a keen senses, it is finally possible to get through Guò without danger.

I have to say that the environment of the white snow-capped mountains has been seen for a long time. It can also make people feel fearful.

"I'm a little worried about finding Aisha and them, just stay in this environment. Will Io's body be affected in any way......"

In Sheena's opinion, this is all Lilou's blind worries - the unskilled Lilou used by the Elven Sacred Scriptures. In order to protect the health and safety of Io's body, he spared no effort to wrap Io's gentle and majestic life energy. If it weren't for the extraordinary spirituality of these pure vibrations. There is no need to worry about the problem of "lack of replenishment", and Hina is very skeptical that Io's current body will be oversupplemented.

Instead of worrying about Io, Sheena felt that her situation was more dangerous than hers--the adaptability of humans to the environment was indeed weaker than that of elves! Sheena had put on a fur coat to protect herself from the cold, but after spending two days in this environment, she also felt unwell.

It felt like being stuck in an ice slag in a bone.

"You've come out of that life-threatening distorted illusion, so you should be able to meet Aisha and them soon, right?, as long as there aren't any more accidents along the way...... ......"

Sheena stared blankly at the unidentified object falling from the sky, and quickly reacted - that thing seemed to be falling towards her!?

"Lilou?"

"Ah...... Saw ......"

The two glanced at each other, and then tacitly lunged back to the sides. A few seconds later, a dull thud stirred up countless snowflake debris where they had stood.

"What is this?

Sheena cautiously moved towards the place where the unidentified object had fallen, step by step.

"Huh?"

What was shown in front of Sheena was unexpectedly, it turned out to be a living person!? It probably sounds a little strange, but the fact is in front of her, and at that speed, this person didn't turn into a puddle of meat sauce, but still had intact limbs?

Of course, when Sheena's eyes caught the equipment on the man who still had his breath, it became a little clearer.

"Celestials. ”

After all, it can be regarded as a person who has dealt with it before, hasn't it? This kind of highly recognizable equipment, brawls on various levels show the identity of the other party's celestial realm. However, the Celestial's situation doesn't look too rosy right now - although he wasn't smashed into a meatloaf by the fall, he should have been injured a lot before that. The crystallization of Celestial Technology could protect him from the impact of the fall, but it could not shield him from an attack.

The penetrating wound on his abdomen, with obvious burn marks, looked very hideous. If it weren't for the fact that the wound had already been burned, the blood would not continue to drain and the internal organs would not have fallen out of the hole. I'm afraid this man is completely dead, right?

"Sheena! this person ......"

"Ah, it's still alive. ”

Even if it's not good. Judging by Sheena's "professionals", it only takes another quarter of an hour or so. This man should be almost dead...... So, do you want to save him?

Sheena is not a cold-blooded person, but considering that she and the others have been attacked by the Celestial Realm before, Sheena is not willing to rashly treat this Celestial Realm. It's not that she holds a grudge, but the danger of the last attack by the Celestial Realm led to the death, but it almost killed Lilu and Io, and the problem that Io is now is very likely to be a trigger - Sheena is not afraid to guard against these Celestial Realm people have ghosts.

"Sheena. Do we have ambulance equipment on us?"

Lilu was the first to think about saving the dying Celestial.

"Wait Lilou, do you really want to heal this Celestial, what if he's actually hostile to us, an enemy?"

Sheena didn't think Lilou's behavior was stupid, in her opinion, such a kind elf would be unscientific if she didn't heal the other party, but Sheena still knew the story of the farmer and the snake. What if a white-eyed wolf is rescued?

"It's okay, it's just to save him, as long as he doesn't return to a sound Cheng dù. Isn't it kneading in the hands of the two of us?"

Lilu still has some confidence in the combat power of herself and Sheena. Even though she now carries a little burden named "Io", Lilou is not worried about what will happen.

“......”

Hina looked at Lilou stupidly, who had already begun to treat the Celestials, and for a moment did not react to the huge contrast between before and after, although what Lilu said was not wrong at all. But please return the image of the pure, kind and innocent elf in her fantasy!

I forgot that Lilu was actually a sentry of the regular sentinel unit of the elves...... Although she is kind, she is not pedantic at all!

......

"Strange day...... Sky ......"

The moment I woke up, I found that the place I was in seemed to be outside. The Celestial Realm people, who had just woken up from a coma, subconsciously replaced the "ceiling" that was about to exit with "sky...... The sky of the celestial realm. But there is no such sight - the sky here with the towering peaks. Unexpectedly, there was a paleness of feeling.

"Are you awake?"

A pleasant female voice sounded in his ears, and the confused Celestial Man subconsciously turned his head...... Suddenly, he was stunned by the beautiful scenery presented in front of him.

- Okay...... What a pretty girl......

"With such a red fruit gaze, staring at the female body vigorously, is this the etiquette of the celestial people?"

In all fairness, the celestial man in front of him is not ugly, on the contrary, the level of appearance is very good, if it weren't for the fact that he is covered with blood because of his current troubles, I believe that if he washes and dresses up, he is also a rare beautiful man - but the problem is, this has no impression of Hina at all!

She's a man! And she's a sister! How could she be interested in men!

"No, I'm sorry!"

Glared at by Sheena's flattering eyes, the man from the Celestial Realm immediately expressed considerable trepidation - losing his temper in front of the beautiful woman was a very strict matter for a prince like him, who had received an aristocratic education since he was a child. In order to redeem his impression in the eyes of the beauty, the nature of a man made him subconsciously apologize.

In normal times, he wouldn't be so quiet...... Well, probably because he met an extremely rare beautiful woman who made his heart move? Anyway, right now, he's tormented by injuries all over his body, so I guess even if he puts on the usual posture of a high-ranking person, it's probably not convincing, right?

At least, in front of this woman...... It shouldn't be of much use.

"You, do you know my identity?"

"I haven't learned anything more than that you're from the Celestial Realm—please, even if you're a big man with a head and a face, and I haven't been to the Celestial Realm, how can I possibly know your specific identity?"

Indeed, this girl is completely dressed as an earthly person, and the aura on her body is not the same as that of her own compatriots. It shouldn't be a celestial person...... Thinking of this, the Celestial Man finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he ran in the direction of the "throat of the world". I didn't mean to ask for help from Kelly, a woman from an enemy country, but anyway. Encountering the other party when he is seriously injured and has no ability to resist is something he can't accept...... Fortunately, this did not happen.

Seeing the slight changes in the look on the face of this celestial person, Hina, who saw this qiē in her eyes, also had a small estimate in her heart - it seems that this should be in the celestial realm, and it will not be a "little person". There are not a few "superiors" that Xina has come into contact with, and she knows very well that one of the major characteristics of this type of people is that facial expressions and actual psychology are often decoupled. In short, it's the wrong mouth. And after a long training, Shena, as the best assassin, has also mastered a skill of reading words and feelings. Unless there is really a "strong person" who can achieve facial paralysis, or a "strong person" who completely disconnects mental activity from facial expressions, Hina can find characteristics on their faces that represent emotional changes.

Obviously, the person in the heavenly realm in front of him has not yet practiced this kung fu at home.

"Where is this?"

"The Throat of the World...... You flew over on your own. Isn't it clear?"

"It's already here...... Huh?"

The celestial man looked around in amazement, and when he noticed that the environment he was in was a white snow-capped mountain area, his whole body fell into a trance-dare to think that he had been sleeping in such a harsh natural environment before. He suddenly felt a cold chill and slipped down his neck, only to see him tremble violently.

"Don't move. I don't have the same handy abilities as Lilou, if you mess around. The magic that I have worked so hard to shield and protect you will completely collapse...... Of course. If you want to feel the cold of winter in this snowy environment without protection, I don't mind. ”

Lilu and Sheena, neither of whom are well-versed in healing.

Don't look at Lilou as the guardian of the Elven Sacred Scripture now, she can theoretically invoke the life energy of the same origin as the Elven God, but just think about Luna's example - no one has ever said that if you become a Guardian, you must change to a healing profession!

Lilou isn't good at it, and Sheena, who is an assassin by nature, is even more impossible—if you ask her to wipe someone's neck, it will be very easy by then.

As a result, in the absence of first-aid supplies, Lilu could only use the clumsy operation method to simply treat the celestial man with life energy - of course, because this was a treatment with the divine power of the elven god, and it must be cured...... It's just that there is a slight delay in the onset time.

So, after some discussion, in the end, after giving the Celestial a simple treatment, Lilou took Io to find Aisha first. And the celestial man, who was severely injured and couldn't withstand too much tossing, was handed over to Hina to take care of, and waited until he woke up before making plans...... There is no way, let alone Lilu, even the half-hung girl Hina has guò the sixth sense of women (Shena: What the hell!), and she sensed that this celestial person should be carrying the information she needs.

In that case, there is no way to leave it alone. Anyway, after getting out of that illusion, there was no trouble ahead, and Sheena wasn't worried about any danger to Lilou.

"Right now, the vibrations that have been exerted on your body are tinkering with your body...... It won't take long, maybe a day, and your injuries will be healed, right? Until then, I hope you don't move, if the healing speed is slowed down by the influence of the surrounding environment, I will be very troubled. ”

Sheena has had enough of this snow-capped mountain environment. If it weren't for the fact that people in this heavenly realm still have the value of use...... Hum.

Sure enough, when he lay down, the celestial man found that the cold that had invaded his body before had disappeared without a trace. It's like the surface of the body, closing a thick quilt to isolate the surrounding low temperature.

"Stop moving, I'm an assassin, and I'm not good at manipulating magic. ”

After wrapping the body of the celestial man with magic again, isolating it from the harsh climate of the outside world, Hina also felt a little tired physically and mentally. Assassins themselves rarely came into contact with and learned magic (in this day and age), and Sheena had this ability. It can only be used if the sex is female—in the male posture, the control and precision of the dù drop a lot. It can also condense magic power, but it can't be used at all.

After all, human energy is limited. And magic is one of the most strenuous areas.

"Hmm, thank you......"

"Don't rush to thank me, I saved you for a reason. Well, it seems that you are also an upper-class figure, so I'll use a reassuring statement - I need some information from you, and in exchange, I saved your life, it's as simple as that. ”

"It's quite reassuring to say - but I suddenly feel like this is the way to get along. It's so annoying. ”

Usually I don't think so, but now, the beautiful woman in front of him gets along with him in a way of communication that he is familiar with, which undoubtedly makes the celestial man have a very awkward feeling. It's not romantic at all...... It felt just too bad.

No wonder his mother hates this kind of "high society" so much.

――It's really tiring......

"Dare to ask Your Excellency's honorable name, the grace of saving your life, it is difficult to ...... without teeth"

"Okay, if you want to talk, just say it directly, and use this kind of crepe expression~" Sheena's mind is so lively, how can she not understand the careful thinking of this celestial person now? In the other party's position, facing the girl she likes, she probably has such a virtuous attitude, right?

By the way, if Sheena can't see that the other party is interesting to her. Then she didn't have to be an assassin.

The feeling of being cared for by a man is really not good at all! But if you think about it carefully, it seems that the other party is a little more sad? After all, he doesn't know at all. The object of his affection will not have any good feelings for him at all. I won't respond to his affection.

Sheena couldn't help but glance at the celestial man with a look of pity.

"My name is Sheena, you can just call me Sheena - of course. Just don't add some strange names to the end. ”

"The ......"

However, Hina didn't ask the Celestial Man for his name at all, which made him eager to "exchange" the names of the two parties suddenly intersect - it seems that this girl named "Sheena" is not interested in him at all?

If Hina heard his heart, she would probably go up and kick him directly, right?--What the hell is interested? It seems that she must have a different attitude towards a man who looks passable?

"Miss Sheena! my name...... My name is Vlad!"

"Oh, it's Xiaofu?"

Sheena was very cold, but Vlad's heart was trampled by a herd of alpacas-what was the matter with "Little Buddha"? Why did she say that she didn't like people to add strange names to her name, so why did she treat others to a different standard? This title sounded so shameful......

But...... Inexplicably so emotional!

Although Vlad also knew that the girl in front of him would never say such things with a friendly attitude, most likely because of her personality...... However, this does not prevent him from embellishing and beautifying with subjective conjectures!

It is said that a certain boy in magic costume Aikawa often uses this trick to carry out self-YY ......

[This guy's complexion suddenly became so disgusting!]

Sheena couldn't help but get goosebumps - she always felt as if she had been cast into a bad delusion by someone, although the celestial's eyes were not simply lustful...... But it's also disgusting!

"Miss Sheena, do you want to know anything from me?"

"You're not nervous at all...... But your own life is in the hands of a different race, right?"

"Ahaha, if it weren't for a 'foreign race' like Miss Sheena, I would have almost died at the hands of my own 'kindred'......" Speaking of this, a wry smile appeared on Vlad's face, "If it weren't for my usual workouts, I would still be a passable warrior, wouldn't I be dead by now?"

You can see that.

The same injury will have different effects on different people. It's like the injury on this celestial person, if he is a guy who doesn't usually exercise and is weak-willed, and a big hole with a diameter of five centimeters has been cut in his stomach, even if the wound is scorched, it is estimated that it will be difficult to hold on until he meets Sheena and Lilu.

From this point of view, this celestial realm person with a high status is not a straw bag.

Sheena has a more or less good opinion of him - not in the relationship between men and women (Sheena: there is no such thing!), but in the sense of identification with him as a man.

"You mean, you've met ...... The attack of your compatriots, the same Celestials?"

"Yes, I didn't expect that I would encounter such a group of mad dogs in the earthly world - I was suddenly attacked, and almost all of my men were destroyed. ”

Vlad didn't even show any anger anymore...... Escaping for his life in front of those notorious villains was already beyond his guesswork. In terms of bad nature, in Vlad's opinion, the "compatriots" he just met are even above the first wanted criminal NONO.

At the very least, NONO is still a person with principles and limits, and based on her pride, NONO is dangerous but can still communicate.

"Coincidentally, I was also 'lucky' to be attacked by your celestials some time ago. ”

"How...... Can ......"

Vlad, who subconsciously retorted, suddenly understood what Sheena meant: "Yes, in addition to me and Kelly, there are still a group of celestial people in the earthly world...... Kelly doesn't seem like someone who would give such an order, could it be that Miss Sheena, the enemy you have encountered is the same as mine?"

"I don't know, they messed with the wrong people at that time, and Miss Luna taught them to be people in minutes. Ah, by the way, I met in the Elven Forest at the time, and the Celestials I met seemed to have made a pact with the humans to help them kidnap the elven princess. ”

"It's kind of like the guys...... Everywhere they went, they were engaged in activities of destruction and chaos. ”

"You seem to know the details of these people, that's great. "Sheena feels like she and Lilou saved this Celestial Man, which is really a good thing," please tell me about their actual situation. (To be continued......)
