In front of the first spine gate, the Imperial Army camp.

"That's a!" Rainey stomped his feet back and forth angrily in the team tent, venting to the two teammates beside him, "What the hell are we doing here? We haven't killed a single monster, and we're doing everything we can to help others watch the gate!"

"There's not a lot of space here, don't squeeze the tent crookedly!" Junior Knight Dan shook his head and said, "But it doesn't matter, I should go back to sleep in the men's tent, good night!"

Dan was about to walk out of the tent when Rainey grabbed him by the shoulder!

"Didn't you hear what I said? We've never done anything like this before in the Imperial Army!"

"There's a lot of stuff to do, like looking for people on the street with wanted notices. Dan smiled awkwardly, "You were also in a bad mood that day, and you had to fight someone else as soon as you were accosted, but you couldn't beat someone!"

"Cut, I told you not to mention it!

Fiona asked softly, "What then?"

"While it's night, we're going to investigate the condition of the second spine!"

"You ......," Dan exclaimed, "you're disobeying military orders and acting privately!"

Rainey said disdainfully: "Should we just wait here, wait for the adventurers to destroy Lotus directly, and then we will touch their light again?"

Dan fell into deep thought. Indeed, from the time they came to the Heavenly Veil Behemoth until now, the Imperial Army has been on standby, and they have done nothing but walk around.

From the periphery of the temple, the Treant Jungle, to the Polar Day, Purgatory, and even the First Spine, all of them were solved by the adventurers, and the Imperial Army didn't seem to help at all, but only collected the corpses of those GBL Sect believers.

Fiona hesitated: "Rennie, don't be impulsive, safety first......"

"What safety comes first! Aren't we joining the Iron Wolf Knights just to make a name for ourselves and glorify our ancestors?"

Rainey felt that as long as he made great contributions, he would be appreciated by the regimental commander, and his future would be limitless.

Fiona's Dan both dissuaded Rainey from giving up this idea, but the more Rainey was persuaded, the more energetic he became, and finally he left in anger, leaving this sentence:

"Then I'll go directly to challenge that Rotus! I want to see how strong the legendary apostle really is!"

"You're crazy! Get close to Lotus and you'll be mind-controlled!"

"Humph!"

Rainey just ran out!

"Dan, why don't you stop her?!"

"I don't need it......"

As soon as Rainey burst out of the tent, he stopped.

The person in front of him is Deputy Head of Hyde!

"What's the fuss going on here!Rainey!What's going on!Say!"

Faced with the questioning of Deputy Head of Hyde, Rainey had to step back, his anger and confidence just now were gone, and he replied in a submissive tone: "No, it's nothing ......"

"Don't pretend to be garlic! I just heard you say that you're going to challenge Lotus directly?"

Before Rainey could reply, Hyde scolded: "Nonsense! With your strength, how can you win against Rotus! It doesn't matter if you want to die! But what about your parents? Will you leave your family and die by yourself?!"

Rainey was stunned, thinking that Deputy Head Hyde would say something shocking, but the second half seemed to be really thinking about Rainey.

Although the tone is still so harsh.

"Dan, Fiona, keep an eye on the members of your team, from now on, no Rainey is allowed to leave the tent without an order!"

"Yes......" the two nodded.

Rainey had to go back to the tent, and Dan couldn't go back to sleep.

"Didn't the deputy head of the regiment think it was inconvenient for you to be here?" Fiona sighed, "You go out for a vigil." ”

"I don't care, I'm going to sleep!" Dan didn't think about the fact that there were two girls beside him, and just took off his helmet and armor and set it aside, and then lay down.

"Oh, really, how can we be on the same team as such a sloppy ghost! It's so ungentlemanly!" Fiona muttered quietly, "if only it were a handsome guy......

————————————

The next day, our stuff finally arrived.

The Magadha, piloted by Kakun, carried an important person to the principality camp of the Heavenly Veil Behemoth.

That important person, of course, is the current president of the Magic Guild - the soothsayer, or the bard Alice.

Alice gently stroked the lute, and instead of climbing the soft ladder, she slowly fell from the sky and landed slowly.

She was greeted by my squad and Charlotte's squad.

"Fellow adventurers, this is a jamming transmitter created by combining celestial technology, and wearing it will make you immune to psychic attacks. ”

Alice said straight to the point, and at this point, Logan walked over very cooperatively, took a bunch of knick-knacks from her, and brought them back to us.

What was handed to us was a blue-purple wristband inlaid with block crystals.

"Everyone, please wear it on your wrist. ”

So we listened to her and put the wristband on, and Logan was called by Alice to talk alone, and the two whispered that they didn't know what to say, probably because Alice used magic soundproofing, we couldn't even hear the slightest sound, anyway, after the two of them finished talking, Logan came back.

Afterwards, Alice said goodbye to us and flew back to Magadha, leaving the Celestial Veil Behemoth.

"Logan, are there only a few jamming emitters?" asked Danio when he saw that Logan also had one on his hand after he had put on the jamming transmitter as well.

"Well, this is only for eight people. ”

In other words, from the very beginning, Alice only planned to prepare one for me and Lilu's team, but now Lilu's team left halfway, and Charlotte's team only had three people, so there was only one left.

"Then send it to the Imperial Army, just in case. ”

That's exactly what Alice had in mind. Logan lifted the large bag of things he was carrying in his left hand, "This is spice." ”

Charlotte looked at it and said with a smile: "It's the same as the one given to me at the beginning, it seems that it is prepared for the Imperial Army, so that they can release each other's mind control." ”

Anyway, with the jamming transmitter, we can go to the second spine and destroy Rotus!

Back at the First Spine Gate camp, we handed Bann the last of the disruptive transmitters and a large bag of spices, and told him to use spices to release Lotus if his mind control spread to the area.

Barn gladly accepted, but the Imperial army raised a voice of dissatisfaction.

"What! There are only a few jamming transmitters?"

"Yes, yes, yes, you don't want our Imperial Army to go to war at all!"

"I still want to kill Lotus with my own hands to make meritorious contributions!"

However, these complaining voices were stopped by Deputy Commander Hyde: "Hmph, your strength is far inferior to the adventurers, obediently listen to the orders of me and the regiment leader, don't be delusional, wait here for the news of the adventurers!"

"May the adventurers triumph! Destroy Lotus once and for all!" Ophelia also stood in front of the Imperial Army and bowed solemnly to us.

"Let's go, then. Charlotte was already eager to give it a try.

She walked at the front, alongside the other two in her line, while Danio and Amy walked in the middle. Logan and I followed closely at first, but when we got out of sight of the Imperial Army, we slowed down.

There were still seven or eight meters away from Danio and the others, and I whispered to Logan, "Alice called you over and said something?"

Logan said, "I asked you about it." ”

I was terrified for a moment and asked, "How did you answer?"

Logan shook his head: "I won't betray you. ”

That's good! That's good!

"Tell me more about what you said. ”

"She just asked, 'Did you find anything unusual about Nicole?' and I replied, 'No.' Besides, if I say you're abnormal, Alice won't leave easily. ”

That's right.

However, I had a concern about the amulet for a long time.

I took out the white amulet and handed it to Logan.

Logan's expressionless face finally showed a look of surprise: "What for?"

"You take it. ”

"Isn't this your means of holding me back......?

"If you wanted to get rid of me, wouldn't you have a chance in Purgatory? If you hadn't come to my rescue, I would have been besieged and killed by the Yakshas. ”

“......”

"There's a reason I'm giving this back to you. If Alice knows that the amulet isn't on you, then our cooperation is a goof. ”

This is the biggest reason.

If Alice asked Logan for a talisman just now, what would Logan do?

Could it be that the amulet is in my hand? Isn't that self-defeating?

This time Alice didn't ask, the next time, when Logan and we returned to Huttonmar, we would definitely go to the Magic Guild, and then Alice would have a chance to confirm that the amulet was not in Logan's hands. For example, Alice tells Logan that her suspicion of me is gone, and asks Logan to return the amulet to him or something. If she really wanted to get it back or see the amulet, and Logan couldn't take it out, wouldn't she kill herself?

Although giving the amulet to Logan meant that if I did tear my face with him, I wouldn't be able to use the Eye of Fury, Logan really didn't seem to want to get rid of me.

Or, as Danio said, through a trip to Purgatory, he finally integrated into our squad - maybe.

In the beginning, my "cooperation" with Logan was based on mutual threats.

Now, I want us to "trust" each other.

And this is the first step for me to show my sincerity.

Logan hesitated for a long time, and finally took the talisman and put it away.

"Hey, why are you walking so slowly!" Danio shouted back.

It's already more than ten meters behind, I really didn't expect it! Rogan and I hurried to follow.

Walking past a puddle of green liquid and a large pile of octopus carcasses, we continued on our way to what Charlotte called the doorway of the second spine.

At the arch where it says "Temple".

"Are you all wearing the jamming transmitters?" said Charlotte, who was at the front, looking back to make a final confirmation.

We all checked our wrists and nodded.

"So...... Second Spine, here we come!" Charlotte stepped into the temple!
