It wasn't until the people of the Empire, and the adventurers who were watching the battle, that Danio and I left the tavern for a while.

Before that, we carefully confirmed the contents of the wanted notice.

As Amy said, the men pursued by the Imperial Army were Natalia Schiller and Lobach.

In addition to their portraits, there are some specific descriptions on the wanted notice.

It is said that they raided the Empire's laboratories, blew up many precious instruments, and then fled from the Gran Forest to the territory of the Duchy of Belmar.

In fact, in addition to the two of them, many other revolutionary troops were also involved in the attack, and they were the leaders of the revolutionary army.

This group of dangerous elements came to Huttonmar and attracted the attention of the Duchy Queen, who allowed the Imperial Army to come to Huttonmar and hunt down the revolutionary army.

Because the Principality does not attach much importance to the development of military power, it is not even known when this group of revolutionary troops broke into the country, and now, there are many adventurers who do not know what is going on, they don't even know that a group* has infiltrated the city where they live, maybe they are hiding in some corner that ordinary people don't notice.

As night fell, Sherlock, the merchant in the back street, was no longer setting up his stall, and Danio and I walked down the deserted alley, ready to return to the main town.

Suddenly, a man appeared in front of us.

It was a girl in a white trench coat who looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old, she had long red hair, and she looked very heroic.

Look......

Looks like I've seen this face somewhere.

Danio had already shouted, "You're on the wanted notice!"

"Shh————h

The girl raised an index finger in front of her lips and smiled unpleasantly.

"Natalia Hule ......," I alertly pulled out the staff behind me.

Suddenly, the tip of a knife had reached my neck!

So fast!

"Nicole!" Danio worried.

"Tut-tut, seeing you duel with the knights of the Empire, I thought you would be willing to be a member of the revolutionary army. Natalia had a smile on her face, but from her crisp voice, I could only hear a terrifying threat, "It seems that I was wrong. ”

"Let her go!"

Damn, is this guy that strong?

The Imperial Army is going to capture her?

That junior knight named Rainey can't even beat me, how can he deal with this kind of ...... Monster?

"Don't worry, you are peaceful adventurers, not imperial people, I won't do anything to you. Natalia pointed to the sky with her other hand, the smile on her face remained the same, "You see, it's getting late, and now, both the people of the Empire and the Principality have gone back to sleep in their warm beds." ”

What is she talking nonsense? What does she want us to do?

"So, I hope, you ......"

"I say, let her go!" Danio shouted, his hand outstretched, "Frost Saya!"

The long-haired blue ghost appeared, and the edge of the circle touched Natalia's feet, and Natalia looked back, immediately jumped to her feet, and left far away.

And when I finally got out, I quickly prepared for battle: "Magic Shield!"

Danio over there was also ready: "Ghost Walk!"

Kaija of the Remnant automatically appeared behind Danio, and at the same time, its doppelganger surrounded him. It seems that the two abilities of Kaija of the Remnant have been merged into one with a single move.

"Hahahaha, do you want to fight? Okay!"

I saw Natalia raise the sword in her hand high!

Wait a minute, the sword is no longer what it was just now.

Turned into a red-dagger?

"The magic sword has descended, Pranz the Flame!"

Around that short sword, there was a raging fire!

"Be careful, this is not the power of an ordinary ghost swordsman!I have never heard of the magic sword she said!" Danio shouted, "Nicole, back behind me!"

"Why?"

"That's how our tactics work, I pin down the monsters in front, and then you and Amy attack from a distance with guns and magic. I know you've won an Imperial Knight in the dueling arena, but you're a magician after all, so there's no reason to charge ahead!"

I nodded, and immediately ran - I mean, using the power of magic to temporarily float in the air, quickly move behind Denio, and then turn around.

However, isn't Danio himself a magical warrior in cloth armor - Devil May Cry?

Forget it, after all, he is a ghost swordsman, and he still has melee ability!

"Hahahaha, you're too nervous!

The smile on Natalia's face didn't change at all, and she seemed to enjoy the battle!

"First of all, jump into the air!"

Natalia leaps to her feet and slashes down from the air!

"Moonlight Slash!"

"Shadow Nightcat!"

Danio responded with an anti-air move, and I used my fastest magic to attack Natalia in the air!

A second later, Danio's dagger made contact with Natalia's flaming dagger, and Danio was crushed to his knees!

The Shadow Nightcat's attack went over Natalia's head and returned to me!

"Ha, aren't you very strong?"

"Full Moon Slash!" Danio struggled to pick Natalia away, and with his sword in both hands, he slashed gracefully in the air, however, Natalia had already jumped a long distance in the air with the help of his strength, and the sword obviously missed!

"Flame Blast!" I aimed at Natalia's feet, unleashing a powerful spell on somewhere.

I thought that this blow would knock her high into the air, but she didn't expect that she had already started to charge, and when there was an explosion in her back, she didn't even look back!

Danio also head-on!

"Ascending Dragon Sword!"

Natalia lunged forward and made a top-lift, however, she passed through Danio's body.

"Huh?"

It was Danio's ghost step that took effect! He seized the opportunity and turned back to make a move: "Ghost Flash!"

This move is Denio's fastest move, and no matter how agile Natalia is, she can't dodge it now!

A purple X emerges from behind Danio, and the ghost god Kaija roars!

But I saw ......

"Cloud Piercing Sky Sword!"

Danio was provoked in the air by a sword, and before he could shout, Natalia jumped into the air, struck with a continuous fencing, and slashed at him!

Danio fell to the ground injured, although his injuries were not too serious under the protection of the afterimage, but the situation in front of him made him stunned!

Not only him, but even I can't believe that Ghost Flash can be cracked?

Obviously, Danio is already in the invincible state given by Kaija, which is also a necessary condition for casting Ghost Flash!

In this state, any attack will only pass through his body!

Why is this happening?

"You've been fooled!" Seeing Danio slowly get up, Natalia said with a smile, "In the Empire, I have long seen ghost swordsmen who use the power of ghosts and gods, and their tactics are exactly the same as yours!"

“......”

"Use the short-term invincibility of the Ghost Shadow Step to trick the opponent into making a move, and then use the Ghost Flash to attack, right?" Natalia said confidently, "But, you should know best, the biggest weakness of the Ghost Flash!"

Ghost Flash's biggest weakness?

Do you have any weaknesses in the moves you use when you are invincible?

"At the moment of making a move, your invincibility will disappear!"

So that's it......

"But......" Danio gasped, "you obviously just used the Ascending Dragon Sword to pass through my body, why did you move ......"

"Haven't you ever heard of the Empire's swordmastery?" Natalia waved her hand, "For us swordmasters, there is no need for any interval between the two moves. ”

"Damn!

The flaming pumpkin flew towards Natalia, and she turned to parry, using the flaming dagger to absorb it completely!

I was taken aback, this was completely different from the situation against Rainey in the tavern, this guy was talking about sword mastery, which made her use both of her moves almost at the same time, and when the phantom came to me, she herself passed through the phantom and struck with a sword!

"Thunder!"

This move successfully hit her! Thunder Whirlwind knocked her back!

That's how it should be......

"Spin Strike!"

Natalia, who had just been hit, came behind me with a somersault and attacked with a sword!

"Stand-in straw man!"

I quickly dodged the blow and moved away from Natalia, but her chain slash was already in her hands!

"Ice Wall!"

The ice wall that had just risen was immediately melted by the flames on Natalia's sword!

Then, once again, the sword stopped at my neck!

"Do you want to continue?"

“............”

We lost, this guy is too strong!

"What do you want!" Denio didn't dare to act rashly, this was the second time I was caught, he was behind my back, and the movements would be clearly seen by Natalia.

"Oh, don't be nervous, we don't know each other. ”

Natalia withdrew her sword, and the flames on the sword disappeared, turning back into the original length of the sword.

"And I know you still have a few tricks to do, right?" she said, looking at Danio.

Danio asked again, "What the hell are you going to do?"

"Listen, I know you've clashed with the Imperial Army, so I thought you were friendly to the Revolutionary Army. ”

I snorted, "You're a bunch of dangerous people......"

"That's right, that's what the Imperial Army said about us. However, they are nothing more than a bunch of hypocrites who have nothing to show for themselves. ”

"Hypocrite? You mean that the legendary Four Sword Saints will be hypocrites?"

"You obviously don't know what he's done in the service of the Empire. ”

Natalia's smile disappeared, and she became serious, and said, "You're adventurers, aren't you, too? Why don't you take me to your hotel and let me tell you everything about the Empire?"

Danio and I looked at each other.

"Just ......," Natalia brought a cloak out of nowhere, and she put it on and put on her hood, "I'll disguise myself as an ordinary adventurer, and enter the hotel without knowing it while the Imperial army is all going to sleep!"

This guy is dangerous, how can he ......

"If you don't agree, then I'll have to kill you. How's that?" Natalia's smile returned, but it was a sneer, a threatening one.

"Well, as long as you don't wreak havoc at the inn, I'm sure Celia will be happy to accept you, she's an understanding girl. Danio sighed and turned to walk towards the city center.

In my memory, Celia was a money-hungry innkeeper, and her eyes lit up when she saw the gold coins I brought from the Sunset Continent. Of course, it was because of a discrepancy in my memory that I confused Celia with the innkeeper on the other side of Gravel City, and in fact, the gold coins of the Sunset Continent had probably disappeared from the lava of the Flame Ghost Cave.

And Celia is a kind girl, and indeed as Danio said, she is empathetic.

The scene I saw when I possessed Nicole that day was actually the scene where Nicole and the others went to the forest to rescue Celia.

Although I have the impression that whether it is the Elwyn Line, Hutton Marr or the hotels on the West Coast, they are all Celia Hotels, but in fact, those are portals, and the real Celia Hotels are still in the Elwyn Line.

Anyway, we took Natalia in disguise from Huttonmar's portal to Celia's hotel, and to avoid notice, we let her sleep in Amy's bed, after all, Amy is still in the hospital.

"Thank you!" Natalia's smile never changed, "Next, I'll tell you why I'm rebelling against the Empire!"
