"What is your purpose?"

Relius stopped Kika, who was about to attack, and motioned with his eyes to tell her not to act rashly - the other party himself pressed the button and closed the room, which made Relius feel a lot of pressure. Originally, what does it mean that a sneaking intruder made a move to close the field? It is very likely that she is ready to kill herself, right? Moreover, this behavior shows that the other party is also very confident in her own strength......

All in all, it's not someone who has no experience in cooperating with Relius and Kika that can easily deal with. If you act rashly, once you are caught by the other party, you will be very passive.

"Kika, you step down first, let me probe her ...... reality"

"No kidding! are you telling me to back down?"

"No, calm down, it's not for you to run away, retreat or anything, I just think, instead of us messing around without cooperation, it's better to let me have a high fault tolerance rate to try each other first. ”

Kika watched in amazement as Relius stood in front of her.

In his impression, this man is not a warm-hearted person even in a relatively kind state, and the essence hidden under the appearance of a seemingly gentle gentleman is actually still very self-interested. And now, he actually took the initiative to let Kika go back to the finale and go first? Kika always felt that he must have some kind of plan in ......

"So what should I do?"

"Try to ...... Let's see if we can find out the other party's information, but I think it's in the case of leaving the queen behind. The information we get from the battle may not be the real information of the other side......"

"Don't you even have the confidence to make the other person use their real skills?"

"Honestly – not fifty percent. ”

Chika was still a pattern after all, and Relius was an old fritter - only for half a minute. He had already faintly sensed that this seemingly young intruder was far more terrifying than he expected.

[Since then, this is the first time that the body has made a "trembling" behavior...... Who is this girl? Actually, my soul is wailing and screaming......]

It's like a poisonous snake meeting an eagle, it's an instinctive shudder.

Think of your own identity. Relius couldn't help but have some doubts about the identity of the girl - it stands to reason that the only person who can make himself feel such a fear of facing a natural enemy is the executor of the Holy See who naturally restrains himself, right? There should be nothing left that can have such an impact on you......

"You, it doesn't matter, does it?"

Chika also keenly felt that Relius's body was trembling faintly.

"Ah, it's a bit of a struggle...... "It's not just a question of whether it matters or not." If it weren't for the fact that Relius was able to suppress the instinctive fears of the flesh very well. If it's a guy who is of the same clan as himself but has not been determined, maybe he has already disarmed and surrendered, right?

"Hurry up and take the Varna kid inside—since the other party has appeared here calmly, most likely for the 'Scepter'—in short, you two hurry up and reclaim it and leave! ”

"What a stupid thing to say!"

Isn't this still going to run away on your own!?

"What kind of handsome are you guys at critical times! You're not a character of this kind of attribute, right?"

No matter how bad the relationship with Relius is, she can't tolerate such a thing if she wants to let Chika leave her teammates and run away alone, even if it's just a temporary "teammate"!

"No, I think this gentleman actually wants to run but can't do it, after all, the sun is good outside. Am I right?"

Lynn smiled and said something that made Relius's eyes glaze.

Kika also turned her head to look at Relius in surprise: "She...... What does she mean by that?"

"Literally, I can't walk in the sun. Relius's voice was full of helplessness. "It's not a symbolic statement, it's like that - I'm a vampire, so there's nothing I can do if I don't deal with the sun...... Speaking of which, you found out about this, huh?"

Obviously, he hid his vampire identity very well, and even that one couldn't see through his disguise before he voluntarily disclosed his identity. This is a secret method that can make oneself as a vampire perfectly cover the inhuman aura on his body, but I didn't expect that in front of the other party, it was useless at all?

Yes, since she can make herself feel like she is facing a natural predator, it is normal to see through the disguise of a vampire, right?

"Vampires!"

Chika recalls the image he remembers, and it seems that it is indeed like that - Relius, it can be said that there is no record of walking in the sun, basically he stays alone in his room, and even when he walks out of the room, most of it is at night, and during the day he does not seem to have left the shelter of the shadows.

"If I escaped now, I would be wiped out in ten seconds, wouldn't ......I? Rather than that, I might as well stay and fight the other side. ”

"Yes...... However, without your permission, how could I take the 'scepter'!"

As the core of this plan, except for Relius, no one on this ship has the authority to touch the scepter of the earth, and someone like himself who does not have permission to touch it without permission will be crushed into dust by the defense mechanism!

"No, you have 'permission'. ”

Relius's words made Chika stunned for a moment.

"'Permission', you've always had it...... So you have no worries about that. ”

This...... What the hell is going on?

"Who will understand you when you say this!"

"So don't be willful, for the first time in my life, I made a move to cover the retreat of my teammates, you just believe me once, believe that I won't cheat you. Besides, you don't want your friends to have something happen here, do you?"

Relius glanced at Val, who was still unconscious on the ground. This action left Kika speechless - indeed, as Relius said, Val's safety was the most important thing for Kika.

"If you succeed in getting the 'Scepter'. Just look at the 'situation' and remember not to rush back. Anyway, after that, even if you don't return, I don't think it matters. At that time, you can figure it out for yourself......"

Kika gritted her teeth and leaned over Val's arm, carrying her on her shoulder.

"Hey, my relationship with me is so bad. Don't you even say a word to me when you see me again?"

“...... I'm not going to tell you again. ”

After saying this, Kika rushed into the corridor behind him with Lin without looking back.

......

"It's weird to watch them leave. Are you indifferent?"

From beginning to end, Lynn was just watching, and didn't make any moves to stop Relius and Kika. When Relius saw the other party's actions, he wondered - was this a sign of her confidence? He did not feel any conceit or pride in the maiden.

"If it's confidence. That's too much, isn't it?"

"No, no, no, I think you must have misunderstood something. Lin quickly shook her head to deny Relius's speculation, "My goal is not the 'scepter' of the earth itself, my goal is only to prevent you from continuing to 'use' the scepter of the earth...... And a little bit of extra 'service'. ”

The smile on Lynn's lips made Relius suddenly have a bad premonition in his heart.

"Not the scepter itself......?"

Not everybody's eyes are on the power of the Holy Spirit—on the contrary, some people wish it could be buried in the ground, as deep as possible. But. This kind of force is not what you want to do, if you can. But like you, to be harsh on others in a way that is close to coercion, that is absolutely not okay, absolutely not. ”

"Oh, are the two kids fine?"

"Didn't you let them ...... Or should you tell the kid named Kika not to come back?, I don't know what deserves your attention about that kid, but I don't think that kid is a bad person, and it's okay to put the scepter with her for the time being. ”

Hearing Lynn's words, Relius couldn't help but smile bitterly: "In other words, even if I don't leave the broken queen, you will let them go?"

"Pretty much. ”

In this regard, Lin did not hide her thoughts.

"Girls who are heroic and emotional, and girls who are weak and shy but equally strong, are the types I like, and I have no intention of hurting them from the beginning. Of course, now that Kika-chan, who still looks like he's good at fighting, is gone, then even the most basic conflict can be avoided. ”

Although it is likely that the child will be hated......

“...... Who the hell are you?"

Relius waited for a moment, and when he saw that the other party had no intention of coming forward to attack, he was also very puzzled. If you want to say that the other party is wearing up her patience with leisure and hard work, but her attitude is not the same. After a moment of silence, Relius tried to ask out loud.

But it doesn't look like a person from the Holy See...... The people of the Holy See would not wear such revealing clothing, and no matter how much they concealed the aura of holy light on their bodies, they could not escape the nose of the vampire, who was their natural enemy. Since he is not an undying mortal enemy, and he doesn't seem to be a murderous person, maybe there is a turning point?

If you think about it, it seems that the other party didn't kill anyone after sneaking into the ship.

"My name is Lynn and I'm just an unemployed vagrant with no fixed job. I will find this place this time, also because of a commission that I can't refuse. But you, vampire, don't you have anything to say......? It's not in that range. ”

Even if it's a cute girl, as long as the other party is a vampire, Lin will be cautious - even if it's a naturally cute vampire like Xiao Ren, the essence is a big devil who kills people without blinking, and in the vampire race, it's strange to regard human life as extremely important, right? Lin doesn't think that in this kind of race that will treat humans as bread, the appearance rate of strange things will be very high.

"Is that so? That's a pity......

Despite this, Relius himself did not show the slightest expression of regret - even though he had a mask on his face, he could not see his expression. But. Lynn could feel the vampire man in front of her, even though the flesh was terrified. The mentality is still very flat.

This is not pretending to be calm, Lin can feel that the other party's composure belongs to the kind of indifference to life - death is not something to be afraid of for the other party.

"So, Miss Lin, are you trying to kill me?"

"Look at what you said, do I look like the kind of person who likes to dye my hands bloody and red? It's true that I have a pretty bad feeling for you, but now it seems that you are quite funny as a vampire. Not the kind of person I hate so much...... If you can be honest, it's not impossible to let you go all the way. ”

"Are you trying to make me a traitor?"

"It depends on whether you've been loyal to someone before that - if it's just a cooperative nature, as long as it's not a betrayal, it's just a breach of contract and not a betrayal, right?"

"Is this like the mentality of a person who has gone behind enemy lines? Let's not talk about not killing local people along the way. When I face the boss of the place. Do you just try to surrender with words without even fighting?"

Relius wore a mask, so he couldn't see his current expression, but he could still hear a little irritation in his words - Relius wasn't a good person, and Lynn's game-like mentality made him feel scorned. But that alone wasn't enough to annoy him.

"Oh, are you really sure you want to do it with me?"

Seeing that Relius began to prepare for battle, Lin also felt a little regretful: "What are you doing here? Obviously, your body is trembling to the point that you can't do it, right? Why do you want to die? Although I can abide by the rule of 'disarm and not kill'." But if I'm beaten to the ground and then 'disarmed', I won't stop." ”

"Vampires are also disciplined......"

"Yes? But I'll let you remember that there is a terrible price to be paid for the discipline......"

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

Kika descended the dimly lit staircase to the end of the cloister.

"Is this it?"

The Scepter of the Earth, which had been seen several times in the distance, was floating silently in front of Kika's eyes. Unlike the past few times, when he watched it up close, Kika could clearly feel the powerful power hidden in it.

This is the legendary Scepter of the Earth......

Usually, when thinking of the earth, Kika's first reaction is brown soil, gray rocks, and the smell of earthy grass with a hint of grass, and at most, the yellow sand that has caused visual fatigue can be seen every day during this time. However, at this moment, the scepter symbolizing the earth in front of Kika gave people a completely different impression from the somewhat barren impression.

If anything, Kika just stood in front of it, as if he could see the yellowing harvest all over the mountains.

“...... Prosperity?"

Kika couldn't help but lose his mind.

For the first time, it seemed that the earth, which seemed to be a little plain and simple, gave people the feeling of being so passionate and intense.

Why do you think that when I mention this legendary artifact related to the earth, the first reaction in my head will be a powerful weapon that can cause the heavens to collapse? Earth...... Magic...... Miracles...... These are all linked together, and the result of a long time ago should be an unprecedented prosperity. The reverie with a strong desire to destroy and an urge to destroy is simply insulting to this artifact.

"Now, this is not the time to think about this!"

Kika shook her head, kicking all the nonsense out of her brain.

The top priority is to take the scepter of the earth and get out of here as soon as possible!

Kika was about to reach out to touch the Earth's Scepter when she suddenly stopped.

“...... Is it really possible?"

Kika wasn't unaware of how powerful the magic blessed here was—at that time, as one of the few people who could enter the core, she was also fortunate enough to see the process of building this core circle, and the defense mechanism blessed on it could tear anyone who dared to touch it to shreds almost instantly. Even Kika had a good fighting power, but she didn't think she was strong enough to ignore these powerful magical defenses.

And is it true that Relius said that he had the "permission" to touch the scepter? Kika himself has no memory of being granted such permission, as for saying that he was granted it without knowing it...... Please, I'm not a great power, is it necessary to please myself like this?

If Relius is talking about it, then he will be terrible......

"Forget it, just trust that guy once at this time, most likely ...... There will be no chance in the future......"

Kika gritted her teeth and took a big step forward, reaching out and holding the scepter—

"Huh?"

At the moment when his hand touched the smooth body of the scepter, Kika felt that a vast force poured into his body along his hand, and the rampaging force almost made Kika unable to hold himself, and the scepter in his hand was almost out of his hand.

"Please, I...... I have no ill will!"

The force that came from her hand contained a few unclear wisps of thought that flowed down Kika's body into her brain—Kika could feel a somewhat frightened and frightened thought, constantly rejecting those around her.

Don't think about it, it must have been because of the experiments conducted by those people using the scepter of the earth to lead to the current results, right?

However, Scepter apparently did not understand Kika's words, and continued to struggle. In the midst of the confusion, the scepter led Kika's hand and hit Val, who was still unconscious and was being carried by Kika.

As Val collapsed with gravity, something was thrown out of the hem of her robe.

"That'...... What's that......"

What Kika saw was a dull crystal.

A crystal so deep that it seems to be able to swallow all your eyes. (To be continued......)
