Although it has been determined that the family squatting uncle named Berg, who claims to be a researcher, has been in contact with Hannah's subordinates nine times out of ten, what makes Alicia strange is that the Dark Empire's consistent style of doing things is to directly brainwash others and then forcefully incorporate them into his command, but Berg in front of him has obviously not been brainwashed. For the Dark Empire, which develops Warcraft technology, Berg is a rare talent, why would Hannah let him go? It stands to reason that it is much more efficient to quietly bring this guy back to China who usually has little contact with the outside world than to let him stay in the Western Continent to study alone, what is the reason why Hannah did not do this?

Puzzled, Alicia secretly asked Icarus to conduct a detailed scan of Berg during the subsequent journey, and finally figured out why. It's not that Hannah suddenly has a lot of mercy and decides to give up the use of psychic magic in favor of convincing people with virtue, but that Berg's spirit has always been in a state of high concentration and excitement - even when he sleeps - and his peculiar physique allows Berg to complete research alone in a short period of time that would normally require several people to complete in a team, and of course it is also consuming his lifespan.

However, the most crucial point is that Berg's constitution is inherently completely immune to the spirit magic that is specifically aimed at the moment when the opponent's spirit relaxes.

Alicia could already imagine the pained look on Hannah's face when she heard the report that her men couldn't brainwash Berg.

In other words, it's not that Hannah doesn't want to take Berg away, but she can't take it at all. Originally, they were stared at by the Golden Shadow and other field team members, and they had to prepare carefully for half a day for a slightly larger operation, and now they carried out a brazen kidnapping in the interior of the Western Continent, and then successfully escaped by boat with the hostages through the blockade of the Alliance. Do you think you're making a Hollywood action blockbuster?

However, Hannah couldn't bear to give up her knowledge and skills so easily, so she took the method of hiding behind the scenes and quietly funding her research, and sure enough, she hid from everyone, including Berg himself.

Because the alliance does not pay much attention to this aspect of research. Berg, who was forced by life, resold all his research results to a hostile country......

Thinking of this, Alicia suddenly felt the urge to slap herself hard.

Yes, yes, the Coalition now relies on a variety of powerful mechanical weapons powered by magic crystals in its wars, and uses them to gain the initiative on the battlefield, but this is not a reason to dismiss other research. Berg wanted to move to Paulé because there were many high-ranking military officials there, and he wanted his technology to be appreciated so that his research could be put on the right track—transferring technology to private individuals and transferring it to the state were two different concepts, and even Berg, a scientific madman, knew it.

"All in all. I didn't get my chance until I got to Paulade City. As the convoy rested on the grass on the side of the road, Berg, who was chatting with Alicia, waved his arms vigorously and said, "Of course. It's just a possibility. The league doesn't take this kind of research very seriously, and I'm just trying to get lucky. ”

“...... I'm sorry. Alicia, who was sitting on the grass, bowed her head slightly and whispered.

"Ah, little girl, you don't need to apologize, do you? It's not your fault. Berg smiled and waved his hand, "But what." I'm here to ask you to do me a favor when I arrive in Paula. I'll pay the honorarium separately. ”

Vacis, who was preparing refreshments nearby, couldn't help but come over curiously: "Is there an additional commission?" What exactly is it?"

Berg immediately clenched his fists in his mouth and coughed, and said with a serious face: "When I settle down in Paulé City, I hope that you beautiful girls can put on fluttery clothes and miniskirts, cat-eared headdresses, cat-tails, and cat's paw gloves at my new doorstep and hand out flyers to the people around me to help promote my research." ”

"Poof——!!" Alicia and Vakiss couldn't help but spray all over the ground in unison.

"Woo, what's wrong?" Michelle, who was feeding everyone's mounts with Imrith in the distance, asked again and again with a surprised face, "Sister Ellie, is something wrong?"

Ignoring the saliva from the corners of her mouth or answering her natural question, Alicia trembled and raised her right hand to point at the science madman in front of her who was suddenly thrown everywhere and said, "Wait, wait a minute! This kind of propaganda method of making girls dress up as cat-eared girls to attract attention is indeed common in some senses, but how did you know about it!? Hurry up and put together your image of a madman of science that has been shattered all over the ground, hey!"

Berg pouted and scratched his cheek indifferently and said, "Ah, you know that I don't usually go out of the house. I never go to a tavern, a theater, a casino, or anything like that. But that doesn't mean that my life is all about research, and even the most gifted scholars need to relax once in a while. And the best way to stay at home ......"

The sweaty blonde girl covered her face with one hand and raised it with the other, interrupting Berg: "You don't have to say it. I've got it all. Regardless of how you came into contact with the second dimension, why do you want us to pretend to be cat-eared girls? Is this your personal interest?"

"That's not wrong if you want to say that, but my biggest purpose is to see with my own eyes the real cat-eared girl, even if it's dressed up by an ordinary girl. Berg said as he folded his palms together and bowed his head to the little queen with black lines on his head, "Please!"

Thinking that she felt a little guilty for making Berg live an embarrassing life because of her policy mistakes, Elysia decided to agree to the other party's request - she hadn't pretended to be a cat-eared girl before, anyway, so she nodded and clapped, "Okay, but the specific costumes will be prepared by us." I don't have any intention of wearing shameful clothes to maliciously sell cuteness and meat in public. ”

"Is it an illusion, always feeling that you are biting the accent on the word 'scale'?" said Berg, scratching his scalp.

"It's a delusion. The little queen waved her hand casually and said, "Don't worry about the details or anything." Anyway, I agreed to accept the request. ”

Berg leaned forward with a look of joy on his face and said, "Na, then I can touch you then......"

"Dismissed!"

“...... Let people finish talking, how can they be repaired!"

However, Elysia's beautiful big sapphire blue eyes had been replaced by a look of disgust for the garbage, and she glared at Berg fiercely and turned away from him.

After dropping Berg. Alicia arrives at Elijah's side, where Michelle and Imrith are already waiting. After the little queen and Vasis were seated, everyone relaxed while handing out refreshments to relieve the fatigue of the journey.

After taking a sip of tea, Alicia, who let the breeze blow her hair, looked up at the blue sky and whispered, "There are still three days to go before we arrive in Paula City, I hope nothing goes wrong." ”

"Sister, what's wrong?" Imrise, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help but tilt her head and ask suspiciously.

Imrise, who planned to travel with her sister during the summer vacation to experience life, decisively gave up treatment...... I mean, I gave up the expectation of responding to the many courtiers in Mangla City who wanted to wear it, and obediently returned to the city to deal with government affairs, and resolutely chose to go with Alicia. Suddenly, countless ministers who were shocked by the bad news burst into tears, and begged her to go back one after another. Despite this, the little girl still did not change her decision - as for the little queen, who was supposed to be in charge of handling government affairs. The crowd had lost hope for her.

As a result, the capital of the Birea Empire once again fell into a state of ownerlessness that left the people of the entire Western Continent speechless.

However, for Alicia, it is a very warm thing to have her precious sister by her side on the journey, and she is naturally happy to have little Ise by her side. And the question for my sister. The girl immediately replied without hesitation: "That's right." Little Ease. After all these days, we have come to understand that the person who funded Uncle Berg's research is Hannah. Michelle, don't keep your eyes so wide, the only person who doesn't know is you. So to get back to the point, after mastering such an excellent talent, Hannah naturally won't give up easily. However, Berg was immune to psychic magic due to his constitution. It was impossible to brainwash it, so Hannah had no choice but to choose the method of secretly funding. ”

Ilya nodded faintly: "I see." But Alysia. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Of course. The little queen pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed, "Because Berg is not completely controlled by the Dark Empire, Hannah will definitely send someone to spy on him." What do you think her men will think when they see that Berg is planning to move, especially to Paule, a key military location of the Alliance?"

Imrith next to her suddenly showed a sudden expression of realization: "Uncle Berg wants to find an opportunity to join the Alliance's Technology Development Department, so he will go to Baolai City, where there are many people who are interested in this kind of military research." Once he was hired by the Alliance, he would have access to a steady stream of money and would no longer have to resell his skills to unknown figures. ”

"Yes. Glancing appreciatively at little Eis, Alicia casually played with the teacup in her hand and said, "Although he was forced to accept privately sponsored funds and transfer a lot of technology for his life, Uncle Berg still has the dignity of being a scholar in his bones, and at the same time loves his country. It was my mistake to let such talents go to waste in the countryside, but it is still too late to remedy it. The only crucial question is whether Hannah will let Berg go so easily......"

Vakis's face turned green instantly when she heard this: "Wait, wait a while, you mean that the people of the Dark Empire are very likely to attack Uncle Berg halfway?"

Alicia was about to say something when Bai Ya and Black Flame, who were staying with the horses in the convoy, suddenly let out a loud neigh.

When Berg tried to get out of control, he immediately killed him, so that the alliance could not get his relevant technology, which is really Hannah's style. 】

Hannah was indeed leading his men in an ambush in the woods not far from the meadow. After receiving a report from the men in charge of monitoring Berg a few days ago, although it was a pity, Hannah still decided to kill them halfway to prevent future trouble. Unexpectedly, she and her men had just appeared at the edge of the woods, and before they could emerge, they were spotted by two very spiritual horses, and they neighed loudly to alert the people in the convoy.

"What the hell!" Hannah gritted her teeth in hatred, "That's fine." The intelligence said that the person in charge of accepting the escort commission was just a group of stinky school students, and it was impossible for them to have much ability, so they attacked me!"

Shadow, who was following Hannah, didn't speak. Directly led his men to rush out of the woods.

These days, the Coalition has been frantically searching the coastal cities for the traces of Hannah and her party, but they don't want the girl to do the opposite, and run directly inland, and camp not far from the town where Berg is located. Although Dark fails to find Hannah because of this, Hannah also does not dare to risk showing her head on the street. So Hannah inadvertently passes by Alicia on the main road, and neither of them knows that the other is nearby.

Shadow didn't know either, until the two very spiritual horses suddenly threw out a large amount of lightning and flames at him and the others.

Seeing the opportunity, the handsome elf hurriedly stopped his progress and jumped to avoid the terrible barrage that made the earth tremble, while the rest of his men suffered somewhat. The galloping formation suddenly turned on its back, accompanied by the tumbling dirt and burning turf, which looked very embarrassed.

"This, this is ......" after retreating out of the attack range. Shadow lightly slapped the dirt and grass clippings from the cloak, looking into the distance and muttering, "Alicia's unicorn and nightmares?"

"You can't be wrong, it's indeed the summoned creature of Elicia's girl. Hannah had come to Ei's side at some point, and her gloomy and cold face looked very frightening. "I didn't expect the so-called school students. It could be her and her friends. I'm really destined for her, right, Ei?"

The handsome elf guy was noncommittal about this.

Hannah, who didn't get an answer, was a little dissatisfied, but now was not the time to pull the arm of the person she liked and play coquettishly, the girl pursed her lips slightly, and then elegantly pulled out her short sword, stretched out her tongue, licked her lips, and said in a deep voice: "Cover me, Shadow." I'll meet them in the past. ”

It was only then that a surprised expression appeared on Shadow's handsome face: "Wait a minute, Hannah. You're not going to assassinate Alicia, are you? There are so many people around her, you can't make it! You're committing suicide!"

"Ahh Are you concerned about me?" Hannah winked at the shadow with a seductive smile, "It's okay. I'm not arrogant enough to think I can kill Alicia in a wilderness encounter without the slightest preparation. However, it was still possible to touch the back and kill some helpless scholar while she was not looking. So, please command the team to provide cover for me?"

Ying rubbed his head with a slight headache: "Okay, you be careful." ”

On the other side, after being attacked, to be precise, Bai Ya and they attacked first, Alicia was the first to jump up and take out two M1911s from her bracelet and shouted: "Enemy attack! Everyone gather here, don't run around! Michelle and Little Ace, you stay and protect everyone, and the rest of the people come with me!"

Vargeth almost fainted when she heard this, but she also knew that Alicia had brought her because of the great power of the beast she had summoned, so despite the trembling legs, the girl gritted her teeth and continued to walk towards the front line.

Imrith's messenger Mokoko was also taken away by the little queen. This two-ponytail evil god with a crippling personality is definitely an out-of-specification existence, even if Hannah has some kind of trump card in her hand that is enough to fight the Protoss, the combination of Kezi and Icarus can also fight each other all over the ground. Of course, this is just a precaution, and in fact, Alicia doesn't think that Hannah can hide any trump card in her hand now.

When they came to the front line, Bai Ya and Black Flame's spell attacks just stopped. A large group of vicious men ripped off their cloaks and seized the opportunity to swoop on the soft ground that had just been plowed by magic.

"Icarus, and Kezi, don't be busy with your hands just yet, wait for my orders. Elicia used her superior eyesight to look at the other side and commanded, "I didn't see Hannah in the crowd, she is probably hiding somewhere else and waiting for her opportunity, your task is to beat Hannah back when she jumps out! No matter what Hannah wanted to do, there was no way she could have stormed our line without the cover of her teammates. ”

"In short, as long as you don't let the other person get close, Hannah won't have a chance to make up bad ideas, right?" Asami smiled gently at Alicia as she gracefully stroked her hair over her shoulders, "Got it, master." Please leave it to me. ”

Senior sister's faint sweet smile always makes people feel like a spring breeze, and Alicia also relaxed her tense nerves a little and nodded: "OK, I'm looking forward to your performance." As for Ilya and me, well, we'll be in charge of mending the knife and robbing the monster...... I mean, I'm in charge of picking up the fish that slipped through the net. On the other side was Randy's own disciple, who knows what kind of combat method she would come up with? ”

"The enemy is about to come within range of ordinary spells!" reminded Icarus, who had been on the alert.

"That's good. Alicia said, raising two large pistols, "Let's beat each other back!" (To be continued......)
