Lendl knelt on one knee, staring at the ground, sweat dripping down his face.
Through the red curtain, the sound of pages turning could be heard from time to time, and Rendel's heart would beat wildly at this time.
Like Lulutis, Rendell was also a member of Tanya's win-over plan. He was born in a poor family and naturally had his heart set on Tanya. Because of this, Rendell was extremely worried at this moment.
Collet and his party, Lendl, did a very bad job and followed Sera, but lost the trace of Sera on the way. After that, they searched everywhere for Sera and disappeared, wandering around Collet like headless flies.
It wasn't until Tanya sent someone to notify him to return that Rendell was shocked to discover that Sera had returned to the Theocracy.
Got fooled.
Rendell had been kneeling all morning. He didn't think there was anything wrong with Tanya not seeing him. After all, it was his fault.
Inside the curtain, Tanya slowly checked the information coming from various places. After Chihong poured tea for her, her eyes glanced outside the curtain from time to time.
The paper was put down, and Tanya took a sip of the sweet tea to dispel the sleepiness that came over her. She noticed Chihong's gaze and tapped her fingers on the table a few times, which made Chihong immediately turn her head.
"It's almost time. Tell him to work hard next time. It's up to you how to polish it."
As Chihong walked out of the curtain, Lendl immediately raised his head. Because the movement was too large, his stiff body swayed. His body, which had been numb after kneeling for too long, was out of control and almost fell down.
Under the signal from his red eyes, Rendell stood up, supported the wall, and walked out step by step.
After staying away from Tanya's room, Red told Rendell the polished words.
"Your Highness, Princess, understands your failure. After all, it is Sera you want to follow. I know how terrible she is. I can only say that it is expected that you failed to complete the task. I made you kneel to show it to others. After all, failure is
fail."
Rendel's lips trembled: "Your Highness..."
If it was polished well, it would obviously be very effective. Lendel was so moved that he beat his chest and said that he was willing to die for Tanya. It is estimated that if he is asked to assassinate Tanya's brothers now, Lendel will nod without hesitation.
"solved?"
When Chi Hong returned to the room, Tanya was standing in front of the huge map of Solon behind the desk.
"He was very touched."
"Well, your polishing ability has always been very good, but it's a pity that outsiders think you are a cold person." After saying that, Tanya handed the secret report from the Theocracy's messenger to Chihong: "Take a look and tell me what you think."
His red eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze moved little by little on the secret report, with more and more confusion on his face.
According to inquiries from Theocratic Emissaries, Serra brought several strangers with him when he returned to Theocratic State, and brought them directly to his home.
"Sela, she rarely brings people back to her mansion." Chihong said.
Tanya curled her hair with her fingers: "Yes, she is a person who looks peaceful to everyone, but in fact she has a sense of distance. She is the chosen one by God, but she cannot get along with most people in the Theocracy.
, but not completely separated from them, just vaguely separated."
"Like Lulu, she has no friends and is difficult to cooperate with. However, she is smarter than Lulu and harder to control."
Tanya picked up the secret report and read it again. The second half of the secret report described the characteristics of several people in detail.
An ordinary-looking human male.
A woman with horns who looks like an Argonian.
A charming vampire woman.
A white mist that changes shape at any time.
The emissary of the Theocracy who submitted the secret report has already questioned the other companions and has never known that Serra has had contact with these people before. It is certain that they are the people Serra knew in Collet.
But this cannot withstand scrutiny. It is impossible for Sera to bring someone she has just met into her home.
Tanya handed another letter to Red.
"Sela bought a lot of materials in Kolai and shipped them to her home? Does she know how to refine medicine?"
Chihong's reaction was also Tanya's first reaction after seeing the news.
Sera does not know how to refine potions, and a large number of these materials point to the refining of potions. She is not purchasing them for the Theocracy, but using them herself...
It’s really weird things happening one after another.
Tanya, who couldn't figure out the reason, was about to put aside Sera's affairs and examine the information about the rebellion in the Civita area. A flash of lightning flashed through her mind. Between the lightning and flint, an idea gradually amplified and occupied her thoughts.
"Lulutis..."
"Your Highness?"
"Lulutis!" Tanya's voice became firm.
"You mean Sera brought Lulutis back?"
"Yes, Lulutis has returned to Mera. She is now in the Theocracy, at Serra's home!" Tanya did not analyze, but followed her intuition and made a judgment.
Chi Hong murmured: "If Lulutis is really by Sera's side, does that mean she has defected to the Theocracy?"
Tanya grinned and chuckled: "How is it possible? Don't you know Lulutis? She doesn't believe in gods in this world at all, and she has no interest in the mission of the Theocracy. Moreover, she is also very stubborn and believes in things.
There will be no turning back. It would be too difficult for such people to change their views on the Theocracy."
Tanya walked to the balcony, put her hands on the guardrail, and looked in the direction of the Theocracy.
"Sela, you, like me, also want an obedient Lulu...I see, is this why you and I fell out?"
"However, Lulu is a very nostalgic person, and you know this, so you deliberately hid her from me... You were worried that Lulu would come back to me again, right?"
Thinking of this, Tanya stretched out comfortably, then turned to Chihong and ordered: "My brother's birthday is the day after tomorrow, has he sent the invitation to Sera?"
Chihong checked the incident memo and nodded: "It has been sent, and Sera also responded, saying that she will visit on time."
"Very good, very good." Tanya smiled and clapped her hands, "I'm looking forward to this encounter and what she will say to me."
"I can guarantee that Tanya will definitely ask me about you this time when I go to Solon."
Sierra held her nose and walked in the basement, waving her hands from time to time, creating a breeze and accelerating the choking breath to dissipate.
Lulu didn't answer at all, but lowered her head and continued to tinker with the smoking potion.
Lu Yu and Sigrid had already checked the vents in the basement several times, for fear of accidental blockage. However, he clearly remembered that they had heard a strange news in Asuna, which was about a group of people doing things in the basement.
The experimenting magician smoked himself to death.
Except for the user of the potion, the mist demon dancing in the fog, everyone else was skeptical of the potion that was constantly smoking. Even Xiumu, who was slightly lacking in common sense, knew that the smoking thing was not a friendly thing.
"Ahem... Lulu, why don't you come to my house to refine it? It doesn't matter if it explodes. The Theocracy builds it very quickly... Ahem!" Sera said.
Lulu raised her head and glanced at Sera sideways, then continued to prepare the medicine.
The whole body was wrapped in light green mist, and the medicinal liquid made a "pop" sound from time to time, and bloomed with a short and bright light, dragging Lulu's figure into a distortion... No matter from which angle, Lulu was not...
Like a good person.
"It's good here. If you refine it at your home, people in the Theocracy will more or less notice something."
Lulu didn't want to meet Tanya. After returning to the continent of Mela, the memories of walking here would come to her mind from time to time. As soon as she responded, she would think of every bit of her past time with Tanya.
She doesn’t want to give Tanya any chance to explain. Now she already has Lu Yu, Sera, Sigrid, Stupid Dragon and Mist Demon, and getting along with everyone makes her understand more and more what friends are like.
.
A dazzling green light flashed in the container in front of Lulu.
Xu Yu immediately protected Lu Yu, while Sera blocked Sigrid behind her. Even the mist demon quickly found a corner to hide.
When the light dissipated and the fog dispersed, everyone craned their necks to look.
Lulu stood there, her pretty face flushed, her hand holding the glass trembling, and her eyes full of shame and anger.
"You guys...what's your reaction!"
"Listen to my explanation, this is normal for the body..."
"I won't listen, I won't listen. My accident rate is so low, so you can't just have some sympathy..."
The green light revived, and Lulu, who was close to the table, immediately opened a magic shield for herself.
After discovering that this was just a normal reaction of potion fusion, Lulu found that everyone was looking at her... shield with strange eyes.
It was Sera who gave Lulu the steps. She took the initiative to break the embarrassment and said: "The Theocracy has just received news that the Squirrel people have been hit hard twice in the Civita area. Two important food cities have been breached one after another. Then the Squirrel
The battle between humans and Solon’s vanguard also ended in defeat.”
Lulu disposed of the medicine residue and asked Sigrid to take it away.
"The combat power of the squirrel people in the Civita area has always been low. This situation is not surprising... Is there any problem?"
"The hundred light cavalry who pursued the remaining squirrel men were completely wiped out."
Lulu was stunned: "You underestimated the enemy and rushed in, and then you were ambushed?"
"I thought so at first, but according to the battle records at the scene, there seems to be only one opponent of these one hundred Qingqi. This person is a demon warrior. The ice attribute magic combined with the squirrel man's spear that he picked up casually killed all the Qingqi.
, the technique was clean and efficient, and the light cavalry were cleared before they even realized the seriousness of the problem."
Lu Yu asked: "If it were the two of you, could you do it?"
Lulu thought for a moment and shook her head: "It depends on the combat experience and personal strength of this group of light cavalry."
"The team is uneven. There are experienced veterans and young recruits in the team, but the overall combat strength is around level four." Serra said.
"For me, it's not easy, but it can be done." Lulu said, "So, this demon warrior is at least a seventh-level person?"
"The race is unknown, but his strength is truly astonishing. One very important piece of information is that when the cavalry noticed something strange and arrived, the magic remnants at the scene were astonishing. The dying light cavalry told them that the man had no spellcasting movements at all.
, just by whispering the magic name, powerful magic will explode on their bodies in an instant. And...when he appears, the surroundings are extremely cold, and it hurts to breathe."
"After the light cavalry died, Solon's troops found frost-covered leaves and plants that had been frozen to death nearby. The whole area was very cold."
Lulu's expression gradually became serious.
"There is no spell casting action. All magic mobilization is formed instantly. It is still in the form of a word spirit, but it is extremely powerful. The ice attribute magic has a huge range, and everyone in the covered area can feel the bone-chilling chill... He also helped the squirrel.
Human?" Lulu murmured, "When did such a magician appear in the Civita area?"
"I thought you knew something before I came to ask you. Solon's commander was also shocked by the sudden appearance of the magician. He was worried that a battle between high-level magicians would occur if he continued to pursue, so he temporarily stopped the attack. Now some people think
He who covered the retreat of the squirrel people was the mysterious warrior who killed the nobles and Solon's envoy in the Civita area."
The bell in the basement rang, which was the gatekeeper informing them that someone was visiting.
Serra returned to the room and received the emissary sent by David, and the news brought by the emissary also shocked Serra.
"Has the news been confirmed?"
"It has been confirmed that Solon's magicians in the Civita area have begun to work together and no longer act alone." The emissary said quickly.
After seeing off the emissary, Sera hurried to the basement and informed Lulu of the emissary's information.
"You said that man killed three fifth-level magicians in an instant?"
"Each magician's heart was penetrated by a spear, and the penetration position was covered with frost, and the three magicians died in a kneeling position. Eyewitnesses said that this man was wearing a silver-white metal armor and was burly, like a giant beast.
, Solon’s sturdy sergeant looked like a small man in comparison.”
To be fair, it is really not difficult to kill a fifth-level magician. Lulu and Sera want to attack the fifth-level magician, which means choosing the right magic and then using it to your advantage.
The key question here is that this man deliberately put the corpse in a kneeling position, which is considered as admitting that he is avenging the squirrel people... but who is he?
Lulu, a strong person related to the squirrel people, thought about it and couldn't find a ruthless person willing to risk being implicated by Solon to come out and confront the army tit for tat.
"He is tall and huge. He is so obvious. Can't Solon's army catch up?"
"Disappearing into the mist, that's how they describe it."
…
…
In the hazy mist, every armor leaf of the silver-white armor reflected the light of magic. The spear hidden in the mist swept across. Solon's scouts seemed to be hit by cannonballs, and were knocked upside down and hit the tree heavily.
, blood continued to flow from the mouth.
With his internal organs dislocated, and knowing that he was about to die soon, the Solon scout stared with scarlet eyes, as if he wanted to know who his enemy was.
The biting cold wind suddenly rose, mercilessly taking away his remaining vitality. At the last moment of his life, the spear penetrated the scout's heart.
"Whoever insults Solon will perish!" The scout roared with all his strength.
The silver-white figure who was taller than him was silent, then he gently broke the scout's legs, put him in a kneeling and surrendering position, inserted the scout's sword into his mouth, and vigorously rotated and stirred him.
Listening to the approaching horseshoes, the mist rose and enveloped his figure.
Solon's cavalry rushed to the scene, but there was no one around and dead bodies were everywhere.
None of the thirteen scouts survived.
And here is only two mountains away from the Solon Pioneer Army camp.
