Perseus frowned and said helplessly: "Let's change it to another one. This girl's name is Nichole, and she is the last among these people. The other 879 reserve royal guards have at least reached the first sequence of "Flame" realm.

.She is the only one who has reached adulthood at the age of 16. Although she has awakened the power of the sun, she cannot even be rated as a flame. Her qualifications are very poor, so I plan to fire her."

Kino looked at Nico, smiled and said, "Just her."

"You..." Perseus felt extremely depressed and couldn't help cursing secretly, what's wrong with Kino? He ignored the one with the best qualifications and insisted on getting the most useless piece of trash.

 Could it be that he has a special hobby? Perseus glanced at the petite Neeko suspiciously and felt a chill in his heart.



 The matter of placing an informant around Kino may need to be considered in the long run.

Even if Nicole is asked to talk about this matter temporarily, unlike Lynch's die-hard elites, she is not a confidant trained by the royal family since she was a child. There is a possibility that she will leak the secret or even fall to Chino. When the time comes, false information will only add chaos to the royal family.

.

Perseus temporarily gave up on the eyeliner thing and said calmly: "If you don't listen to the advice and insist on choosing her, then let her be her choice. But let me tell you first, after taking her away, she will be yours, no.

Substitution or refund is supported.”

Chino: "Of course, I will treat her well."

There are two reasons why Chino chose Neeko.

 The biggest reason was that he had already sensed Perseus's intentions.

When Perseus proposed to send reserve guards, Kino knew that he would definitely take this opportunity to plant an informant.

This kind of spy can only be performed by favored confidants, and Perseus said that some of the reserve guardsmen are outsiders, which means that he cannot grant this task to everyone.

 Hence, the more potential a guard has, the more likely it is that Perseus single-handedly brought it out.

 And people like Neeko, who are ranked last, have the least potential, are petite, and have inherent warrior qualities, are unlikely to be Perseus' confidants.

Chino chose his bodyguard for no other reason than to take him back to Twilight City to observe the principles and practice methods of the so-called "power of the sun" and try to secretly master and copy them.

 So, it doesn’t matter what the potential is, as long as the power of the sun is awakened.

 The second reason is Nico herself.

This kind of girl with a small stature and low potential is mixed among a group of tough men who are stronger than bears. She goes through the same training with them every day, and her grades are always at the bottom. No matter how determined she is on the surface, she will definitely have some inferiority complex subconsciously.

As long as this type of person with low self-esteem is given appropriate encouragement and gifts, she will treat you as a confidant and her loyalty will be as solid as a rock.

 The strong are very useful, but the usefulness of the loyal will be much wider than that of the strong.

Now, Nicole's performance confirms Kino's idea.

She knew that Kino was here to pick someone today, but she didn’t expect to be picked at the bottom.

　　When Kino called her by name, she was stunned, her eyes were confused, and she kept wandering left and right.

Chino: “Are you nervous?”

Niko lowered her head and said in a very soft voice: "I don't know why you chose me..."

Kino looked at the guards standing around, and finally his eyes fell on her again, showing a warm smile like the green sun; "The reason is simple - in my opinion, you are no worse than any of them."

Niko's eyes kept trembling, her red lips opened and closed, and she murmured softly: "Thank you for your trust, I will never let you down."

 【Respect from Neeko Doguland:43】

Perseus was depressed when his plan failed, but he pretended to be calm on the surface: "If you choose, take them away. Nicole, after you go to Twilight City, you must work harder and not cause any trouble to the administrator of Kino.

That place is not a blessed place like the Royal City, but the front line against aliens, do you understand?"

 “Understood.” Neeko performed a standard knightly salute.

Selecting Neeko, Kino asked her to pack her luggage and prepare to leave back to Twilight City.

Since Neeko couldn't ride the winged beast, Kino planned to take a carriage back by himself, a journey of six and a half days.

Outskirts of the giant wall of the royal city, the team of the Regnom family is gathering on the dragon's platform.

The giant dragons entrenched here are of different sizes. The largest is Sting's golden dragon. With its wings spread out, it covers the sky and the moon, and the golden light shines like the sun falling into the mortal world.

 The smallest one is Lorna's dragon. She is only the second sequence of four wings. She is the youngest herself, and the dragon who made the contract is also the youngest and is still in its infancy.

This young dragon is named "Crimson Night". Its body is the same as Lorna's hair and eyes, which are both fiery red. Although it is small, about the same size as a mammoth, when it spreads its wings, it is like a prairie fire, and the dragon is powerful.

Already taking shape.

Lorna sat on the back of the dragon, her fiery red hair dancing wildly in the wind. She raised her chin coldly and proudly, and called loudly: "Dinisha."

Dinisha was dozing while standing next to Perseus. She was so deeply asleep that she didn't wake up at all. She lowered her head and kept breathing evenly: "Huh..."

Lorna was so angry that her cold and proud look that had finally been concave completely collapsed, and she angrily said: "Di! Ni!! Sha!!!"

"Good wine! One more glass! I owe the bill first..." Dinisha suddenly woke up and uttered a confused dream, which was ridiculous.

She scratched the back of her head sleepily, looked around confusedly, and finally looked at Lorna at Perseus' reminder.

Lorna snorted and raised her arrogant chin: "I will practice hard when I go back and won't bother you again until I become stronger. Next time we have a duel, I will make the score the same as Dinisha, who is as sweet and gentle as a big sister.

With a big smile, he waved to Lorna and said goodbye silently.

Lorna swung her cloak gracefully, held the reins tightly, and the ancient dragon language came from her mouth: "Lwe!" (Take off!)

As Feiye took off, Sting looked up for a moment and shouted: "Lorna! Flying backwards! Lenglie Valley is behind you!"

"I, I know! I want to fly two more times to catch the wind, can't I?!" Lorna controlled Feiye to change direction and fly towards Lenglie Valley.

Perseus laughed when he saw this: "Sting, you will have a lot of troubles when you go back."

Sting smiled helplessly, shook arms and shoulders with Perseus, waved goodbye, boarded the dragon and led the family away.

 After the Regnom family took off, Kino was also ready to leave.

He had just boarded the carriage with Nicole when a hurried call suddenly came from behind him: "No! Wait! You have forgotten something!"

Everyone turned around and looked dumbfounded.

Solandel's skirt was covered with soil, and she was holding a large bag of apples in her arms. The servant behind her was also carrying an apple tree. Judging from the huge ball of soil at the bottom, it seemed that it had just been dug out, and the soil was fixed with ropes.

, used for long-distance transportation.

Solandel put the apples in Kino's carriage, and then asked the servant to tie the apple tree to the roof of the car. She raised her head and smiled sweetly at Kino: "This bag of apples is for you to eat on the road. There is also the apple tree promised to you before.

, just bury it when you go back, remember to water it, it will bear fruit in the "Booting" and "God's Blessing" every year, and then you can eat sweet apples~"

Kino stood in the golden morning sun, his amber eyes reflecting the light, seemingly real and illusory, looking back at the girl smiling in the wind.
