It's the 1st anniversary, so the corpse is deceived once~―――――――――――――――――――― After saying goodbye to Greve, Ai Xue and Zero were escorted out of the city. It's a pity that they didn't have the beautiful scenery of the imperial capital and didn't have time to stay here.

"Nanning, it's probably the end of our journey. Zero couldn't help but sigh. Along the way, everyone encountered too many things, whether it was the missing children or the information about the second truth and the Balanced Sect, they all lost clues that could be traced. In this way, I had to return to the original point, that strange challenge task. Due to the previous exchange of identities, the token is now in the custody of Icarus. I believe that now, they are already waiting somewhere in Nanning to meet Ai Xue and Zero.

"I have a hunch that these mysteries will be solved when we reach our destination. Ai Xue had a bad premonition. Judging from Greif's conversation, it seems that the Imperial Family has nothing to do with it. So, who are waiting for them in Nanning City?

After half a day's trek, Ai Xue and Zero finally arrived in Nanning City in the evening. For them now, the most important thing is to meet their partners as much as possible. However, the five did not appear to be staying at any of the hotels.

"May I ask if there is a group of 5 mercenaries who came here a few hours ago?" Ai Xue politely asked an uncle who was drinking. Places like taverns are always a great place to exchange information. [Monthly timepiece] good-looking novel debuted [] monthly timepiece 8

"Of course, it is impossible for such a conspicuous procession not to attract attention. But—" Uncle smiled lewdly, and at the same time stretched out his rough and fat dirty hand to Ai Xue, "Why should I sue you, there must be some price." ”

Of course, Ai Xue knew what kind of situation she was encountering, so she took a step back and said softly, "Sir, it's not convenient to talk here, can we go out and talk?"

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, very good!" the lewd uncle looked very excited, and followed Ai Xue and the others out of the tavern.

"I didn't expect you to be quite bold, little girl!" There was no one in the alley, and the uncle finally couldn't hold back his impulse, and planned to attack Ai Xue first. As for Zero, he chose to ignore it "sexually". Anyway, in his eyes, the two little girls can't make any waves.

"Zero. Ai Xue gestured with her eyes, and Zero drew her dagger in the shortest possible time.

"Why, regret it, but you let me come along, hahaha!" Uncle Lewd didn't care about the weapon in Zero's hand, in his opinion, even if he had the best weapon, it was impossible for such an ordinary person to defeat him, an empty-handed level 2 warrior. However, his wishful thinking was wrong, and the two girls who seemed to be weak were not so-called ordinary people.

"Spare my life, big sister, I really didn't mean to!" It wasn't until Zero's dagger was attached to his neck that the unfortunate guy came to his senses.

"Say, where have those people gone?" Zero pushed a little, and cut a shallow streak of blood on the guy's neck. Against this kind of scum, Zero will not be merciful.

"East ...... There is a ...... in the woods to the east There's a man with a ...... Take them away, I don't know anything else!

"Get out!" exclaimed Zero.

"Yes!" I saw the guy get up and hurry out of the alley, and the frightened look was like seeing a ghost.

"The woods to the east, without further ado, we'll go over at once. Ai Xue gave an order and sprinted. If what the scum said was true, then the only person who took the members of the Snow Wind Regiment could have been the Employer's Connector, and the Blazing Shard was in Icarus' hands.

"Is this the Epileo Line?" "Ai Xue was still looking around, and they were in the middle of a dense forest.

Unlike the Warcraft Forest, not all of the trees here are naturally grown, and a significant portion of them are artificially planted by the Empire and the Crotian Federation. That's right, to the east of Nanning, there is a section of the border line between the Empire and the Commonwealth, known as the Epileo Line. In order to show the peace and friendship between the two countries, there are no border defenses here, and the people of the two countries continue to plant trees here to form a "defensive line". But after a long period of accumulation, this plantation is big enough to get lost.

"Ai Xue! Zero!" The two of them, who were skeptical of the news they had received from the lewd uncle, vaguely heard the call of their companions.

"Ai Xue, Zero, it's really you. "The figure coming from not far away is Lena," Kaos said just now, as if he had seen a figure, and I wondered if you were catching up. ”

In less than a minute, all the members of the snow wreak gathered together and told each other about what they had encountered.

"So after you were brought here by that strange man, he suddenly disappeared?" asked Zero Lena.

"yes, he seems to have said something good to start the show, it's really inexplicable!" Lena complained. [Monthly timepiece] good-looking novel debuted [] monthly timepiece 8

"Since the other party is purposefully bringing us here, I think we can just wait quietly and save the body to deal with emergencies. Leonard's advice was immediately adopted, and indeed, without understanding the other party's purpose, blind panic is a taboo.

But they forgot about it, and the easiest way to deal with the tactics of standing still was to surround the enemy. Unbeknownst to them, danger was creeping in.

"Look, there's someone over there. Zero jumped up from the ground alertly, and despite the high humidity of the summer forest, everyone followed Zero's guidance to see the blurry figure in the fog. The other party's height is about 1.6 meters, and he is alone, and he doesn't seem to be carrying weapons or anything like that.

"Is it a child?" As the other party got closer, Zero clearly saw that it was a slightly immature teenager, dressed in ordinary civilian clothes, which seemed very similar to the teenagers playing on the street. But there was no trace of life on his face, and his empty eyes made him look like a soulless shell, like a puppet.

"Danger!" exclaimed Leonard, he was the strongest in the group, but even if he was as powerful, fear flowed through Leonard's body like an electric current in the face of that breathtaking, hollow eyes.

The boy's face was expressionless, his right hand slowly raised above his head, a dazzling red light lit up from his hand, and the fire elemental rushed frantically towards him.

It was just a child about 14 years old, and no one would have believed that such a large gesture came from such a child if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes.

The air gradually became hot, and the surrounding trees began to wither. The fog dissipated, and the boy's small figure looked like a god in the light of the firelight. As if judging sinners, the boy's mouth spat out four clear and powerful syllables—the flame of destruction.

"I guessed right, there was definitely something wrong with that challenge. ”

"Why don't you save them, Liz?"

"Why don't you go? It's not our turn to worry about this little crisis, Kia. ”

"Then watch the play honestly, it's just level 8 magic, and you can't die. ”
