After the brief conversation ended, the next step was to divide the expedition team into two groups.
Since there were no casualties in the crusade, most of them chose to help Natsuki Subaru in his crusade against the Witch Cult. Only a few older warriors chose to follow Crusch back to the capital.
In the dragon convoy returning to the royal city, there was a big head cut off from the white whale, which was used as proof of victory over the white whale.
Of course, it's not just proof that after parading in the royal capital with your head on, you can definitely gain a lot of prestige.
Curio's goal is to be elected king, so prestige is essential, even if she is already the most prestigious among the five candidates.
As for the giant blue sword, because it was impossible to see in the heavy fog, almost no one knew who used it.
Only a few people know the true origin of the giant sword, but even if they don't know the origin, it doesn't stop the soldiers from thanking the mysterious person who took it.
Therefore, the remaining warriors were all discussing the miraculous blue giant sword with great interest, and the atmosphere was full of enthusiasm.
"Hey, Master Curxiu has left, why are you still here watching?"
Under the tree, Xia Yu looked at the gradually smaller dragon convoy from a distance, while Felix, standing next to him, looked at it with suspicion.
Seeing Xia Yu's very strange look, Felix made a bold guess. Could it be...
"You don't secretly have a crush on Crusch-sama, do you? Don't think about it, Crusch-sama is a hopelessly slow woman, and she will never be able to feel other people's feelings for her."
There was an unlucky man who had been secretly in love with Curxiu for several years, but Curxiu never noticed it. It was not until the unlucky man died in Curxiu's arms and he expressed his feelings before his death that the slow Curxiu reacted.
Came over.
In order to prevent Xia Yu from making the same mistake as an unlucky prince, Felix felt that he had an obligation to remind Xia Yu that this was not just for fun.
What bad thoughts can a kitten have? Kittens have a lot of bad thoughts.
"Haha, what do you think?"
Hearing the ridicule in Felix's words, Xia Yu came back to his senses and smiled, showing a meaningful smile.
"!"
"Meow, meow, meow? You don't really want to pursue Master Crusch, do you?" Felix's ears stood up in surprise, with a look of shock on his face.
Xia Yu didn't answer this, waved his hand and left.
He really admired Curxiu as a person, but if he said he liked him, that was not the case. After all, Curxiu's personality was not very suitable for being a girlfriend.
It's not bad to be brothers, it's better to be the kind of brother who worships the boss.
But when it comes to worshiping brothers, Xia Yu somehow thought of something.
It's a pity that you are a girl, otherwise Sajia and you will be sworn brothers!
Tsk tsk, that bastard Lu Zhishen doesn’t even understand what a real brother is. A real brother is to be your woman when you need a woman!
This is what we call good brothers!
After Kurxiu left, the remaining warriors were resting and waiting for the other half of the Iron Fang mercenary group.
In fact, the Iron Fang Mercenary Group did not use all their strength during this White Whale Crusade. They also left half of their men to block the streets to prevent ordinary people from being involved in the White Whale Crusade.
Of course, this is just a euphemism. After all, with such a huge battle, it is impossible for ordinary people to want to come to the battlefield to seek death.
The greater possibility is that they are worried that the failure of the expedition team will lead to the destruction of all members, so half of the members are left to wait and see, a typical approach of splitting eggs in a basket.
Although this can avoid risks, it also increases the risks. Maybe it fails because it does not give its best effort?
But no matter what, the matter is over, and members of another team have also rushed over, ready to assist in the crusade against the Witch Cult.
The leader of the other half of the Iron Fang members is a young brown-haired orc with a single eye, but this leader is walking on the right, in the middle of the team, and is also the most conspicuous one.
A purple-haired figure riding a blue earth dragon.
The purple-haired figure was wearing a knight's uniform. Natsuki Subaru, who was still chatting happily, suddenly changed his expression after seeing the person clearly.
That purple-haired figure is none other than Yurius, the "best knight" who has a conflict with Natsuki Subaru.
Of course, as the cause of the conflict, the main reason is Natsuki Subaru himself, but humans are definitely not willing to admit that they are wrong.
What's more, he was beaten so badly by Yurius and was completely embarrassed in front of Emilia, so it was difficult for Natsuki Subaru to put down his face and show a good face to Yurius.
"Xiao Subaru, your face looks ugly." Suddenly, Xia Yu put his arm around Natsuki Subaru's neck and said close to him.
"Don't scare people like this, senior..."
Natsuki Subaru, who was staring at Yurius intently, was startled by Xia Yu's sudden movement. When he realized it was Xia Yu, he breathed a sigh of relief and complained.
"Hehe, that guy does seem a bit too serious and deserves a beating, doesn't he?" Xia Yu ignored the complaints in Subaru's voice and raised his head towards Yurius.
Hearing this, Natsuki Subaru nodded in agreement.
Sure enough, it wasn't that he was petty, but that Yurius did have a face that deserved a beating.
But even if the opponent deserves a beating, he can't do anything about it, because he is a regular knight of the kingdom, and he is just an ordinary high school student with a grip strength of 70kg.
Seemingly sensing Natsuki Subaru's thoughts, Xia Yu suddenly chuckled, leaned into Natsuki Subaru's ear, and said seductively: "Natuki Subaru, do you want to become stronger?"
"I can make you stronger, so strong that even that purple-haired guy can't beat you, and can only be pinned to the ground and rubbed by you."
"Um?!"
Natsuki Subaru suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Xia Yu in disbelief, with deep longing in his eyes.
If it comes to becoming stronger, then no one is more determined than him.
Most of the time he went back was because he was not strong enough. In the past, he was killed by a gut hunter who tore his chest and abdomen, and later he was cursed to death.
If he has the power, these can be avoided and solved, and he can better protect his Emilia Carbon!
but……
Not knowing what he thought of, Natsuki Subaru's eyes dimmed.
He has the determination to become stronger and the perseverance. After all, it is quite rare for high school students to build muscles while staying at home.
But perseverance and determination alone are not enough at all. He has no talent to become stronger. Even learning magic is a rare Yin attribute, and Yin attributes can only bring debuffs.
He has no strength on his own, so even if he fully debuffs the enemy, he can't defeat him.
"Sorry, senior, I don't have that talent." Natsuki Subaru shook his head. This was not an excuse, but based on a deep understanding of himself.
Natsuki Subaru's behavior was also expected by Xia Yu. After all, under the influence of God's will, or the author's will, Natsuki Subaru was still a weakling until the latest chapter.
But...
This is not the original work, and the author's will can no longer affect Subaru Natsuki now.
"Hey, Xiaocai, don't worry..."
Xia Yu chuckled and whispered mysteriously: "V I am 50, I will make you a strong person directly, you don't even need to exercise!"
