Chapter 20: Agni

Sophia counted the salutes that had been moved out of a common house, and there were three boxes of them, each containing weapons, tools, daily necessities, and some simple clothes.

"That's pretty much it, just buy some of the other common things on the street. ”

Most of the luggage is something that is inconvenient to sell on the market or weapons that need to be strictly registered when purchased

"Your Highness Princess, the removal of traces is complete. ”

A young woman with black hair and black eyes walked up to Sophia and whispered to her.

"Thank you, Agni. ”

Blaze, that's the name of the black-haired woman, and her job is the princess guard, the one who attacked Lucia with Sophia.

Blaze nodded at Sophia, even in reply. Contrary to the name, Narugami Agni is a complete iceberg beauty, although she is not to the point of cherishing words like gold, she also does not like to talk too much, and the expression on her face is also lacking in change.

"Laugh a lot, Agni. It would be a pity if the rare beauty was not shown too much. ”

There was a slight progress in the pursuit, and Sophia was in the mood for a joke for the first time in a long time, and she reached out to grab the cheek of the fire and force a smile.

Blaze deftly dodged Sophia's fingers. It's a good thing that the princess can relax, and as a princess guard, Akami Agni knows better than anyone how much pressure Sophia has been under these days. But it's the same thing, and Ragon doesn't intend to relax with the princess at all, and in her opinion, a strict attitude and a one-sided style of conduct are the keys to success, which complements her unsmiling personality, for which Sophia is often described as dull or strict.

"The subordinates still don't understand the intention of Her Royal Highness the princess to live in that mansion, even if it is the only clue at the moment, there is no need for Her Royal Highness the princess to take the risk herself. ”

Seeing Narugami Blaze talking about business, Sophia smirked back her fingers that were ready to continue the attack.

Sophia, who was worried about the flames, also understood that the butler named Einstein was abnormally strong, and the gap caused by the difference in strength that could not be filled by that skill could not be human at all.

"Now that the country is moving towards the point of no return, there is no place to be safe, and once the country is destroyed, we will not be spared. ”

Sophia's face showed a hint of solemnity.

"Since it's dangerous no matter what, it's worth taking a little risk in exchange for information. ”

At this, Sophia smiled a little.

"And Lucia, if they can't be our help, they won't be enemies. ”

Igni was noncommittal, and she had a similar opinion to Sophia on her instincts. The girl named Lucia and her unusually strong servant were not enemies, they were too lacking in tension and purpose. But in the end, this is only an unfounded intuition, and until the facts can be determined, the Flame will hold its opinion.

"Let's go, let's go back. ”

Sophia was about to pick up the suitcase, but she saw Ming Shang Blaze take a step forward and stop her.

"Come out. ”

Flames were fired as a precautionary posture to guard the surroundings.

Sophia didn't notice anything strange, but Mingshang Agni had better detection skills than herself, so Sophia cooperated with Agni and said towards the intersection.

"It's a great dedication to be able to chase after this kind of place, but if it's too pestering, it's hated by girls. ”

A total of five men dressed in black tights and hoods appeared, surrounded by three people on rooftops and two people at the entrances and exits, trapping Sophia and Agni in the middle.

One of the men on the roof, who looked like a leader, stepped forward.

"Princess Sophia, we didn't mean to harm you, we just wanted to ask you something. ”

Seeing these five people, Sophia knew that it was not easy to deal with. The other party knows that coming at him means that they have an intelligence network that can grasp the internal trends of the royal capital and even the palace, and Sophia, an organization with this ability, knows several, but without exception, they are all guys who are not easy to handle.

"Unfortunately, I already have an appointment, and if you can wait a few days, I may be able to find time to respond to your request."

"I'm not asking or asking for your opinion, I'm asking. ”

Listening to the other party's hard answer, Sophia secretly said that it was not good, but she still tried to use the dialogue to get some information about the other party, so as to reduce her own disadvantage.

"Knowing that I am a princess and dare to speak with such an attitude, are you underestimating the Lilbourne royal family!"

The man was unmoved by Sophia's words, and in his opinion, a kind question was already a great deal of mercy. The man waved his hand and gave orders to his men.

"Don't be too rough with the princess, the maid can kill her. ”

As soon as the man finished speaking, the other two people on the roof jumped down and ran towards Sophia.

"Agni!"

Sophia quickly drew the bayonet sword hanging from her waist and stabbed it at one of the men in black who rushed towards her.

As soon as Agni shook his hand, the dagger hidden in his sleeve slid into his hand, and at this moment, the knife in the black-clothed man's hand fell right down, and the dagger and the knife collided together.

A powerful force came from the dagger, and the hand holding the dagger was numb for a while, although the weapon was at a disadvantage, but the strength of the other party still surprised her a little, this is not the strength that ordinary killers or assassins can have.

In order not to be restrained, Agni let go of the dagger and the blackman's knife after a stalemate, and then plunged his finger into the blackman's eye when the blackman's balance collapsed.

Thanks to the fighting style of the man in black, who was as straight as a knight, the fiery fingers were directly inserted into the eye sockets of the man in black, passing through the eyeballs and directly into the brain, so that the man in black was silent before he even had time to scream.

Pulling his finger out of his brain and picking up the knife of the man in black, Agni turned around and slashed at the other man in black who had just dodged Sophia's stab.

The man in black was startled by his companion's death, and he waited until he had blocked the fire with his sword, and Sophia's second sword stabbed him.

"Hah!"

The man in black, who didn't have time to dodge, screamed, and the magic power in his body quickly spread to all parts of his body, strengthening every inch of his muscles, skin, and bones, and the blue lines produced by the magic power spread all over his body, and the light was even revealed through his clothes.

This is a special magic technique called which strengthens the body through magic to exert combat power far beyond the limits of the human body, and is one of the ways that warriors who have no magic power but no talent for using magic can use magic power.

Ordinary people can't use magic patterns, not that they need any special talents to use magic patterns, but that the body that lacks exercise can't adapt to the high-intensity strengthening of magic power, which is the same reason that low-configuration computers can't run high-configuration games.

Sophia's bayonet sword slashed under the black's ribs, tearing through the bodysuit, leaving only a trail of blood on the blackman's skin. With the enhancement of the magic pattern, the man in black stubbornly carried the damage and stabbed the flames head-on. The man in black was not weak in the first place, and with the strengthening of the magic pattern, the blade swung by the man in black was like a silver flash, and it was instantaneous.

Seeing that the blade was about to fall on Agni's head, Agni's body suddenly appeared with blue lines like the man in black.

". ”

At the moment when Agni finished saying the last word, the black-clothed man's knife slashed down on his head, slashing directly from the top of Agni's head to his crotch, splitting it in two and breaking a deep trench in the ground.

"Whew!"

The man in black didn't like to be angry, and he retreated in the direction of the king's leader. Just as the man in black retreated, the flames that were split in two dissipated.

To be precise, what dissipates is not the fire, but the afterimage of the fire.

Just as the fire was about to be slashed by the man in black's knife, she used a "martial art" called of the martial arts, the effect of which was to make people move at high speeds, and what was split by the man in black was the afterimage of the flames after moving at high speed.

At this time, not only the man in black who split the remnant of the fire, but even the leader of the man in black was embarrassed.

The so-called martial arts are the advanced use of magic patterns, which produce a stronger effect than ordinary magic patterns by focusing on strengthening a certain part of the body.

Although the specific effect of martial arts will be affected by the proficiency and skill of the user, it is certain that as long as the person who can use the martial arts, his strength will never be low.

Besides, even if two people can use the magic pattern, it does not mean that the combat power will be equal, just like the user is strong and weak, the magic pattern also has strength and weakness, and the specific strength can be distinguished from the complexity and density of the magic pattern, the more complex the magic pattern, the stronger the user's skill in using the magic pattern, and the denser the magic pattern, the higher the user's strengthening level. And the demon patterns on the obvious fire body are much denser and more complex than those on the man in black.

At some point, the fire that stood in front of Sophia again watched the man in black retreat, and she slowly spoke, almost completely covered by her own demonic light.

"I'm glad to be fighting guys like you, and it reaffirms that my power isn't useless. ”

The one-sided sadism with Einstein, which could not even be called a battle, almost caused Agni to lose his self-confidence, his strength became a joke, and the skills he had worked so hard to hone became the same as the individual differences between ants.

But now it seems that the opponent is too strong, and his skills and strength are still used, which is enough for Agni to regain some self-confidence.
