One hundred and forty-eighth act: close friends in boudoir
"The 'Gray Wolf Mercenary Group' is the mercenary group that Miss Qian used to belong to?" Delphiri, the daughter of Earl Yanbao, sat on a high-backed chair and closed the book in her hand, as gentle as water.
He stared at the girl in front of him and asked:...／
Akane nodded, she arched her back, biting her lower lip with her pointed canine teeth and reached to her waist to pull the straps of the knight's uniform there. She fiddled with the straps of the knight's uniform there with her green-white fingertips twice, but unfortunately she didn't succeed.
Alfred, help me do it."
Delphire stretched out his hand to take the strap and handed it to the former's hand.
"Thank you." Qian breathed a sigh of relief. She twisted her fingers around the strap and tied a knot skillfully. Then she picked up the soft leather armor on the desk next to her and put it on her head.
Reaching behind her slender neck, she lifted up her long red hair and spread it out like a waterfall of flames.
She pulled her long hair with one hand, and with the other hand, she wrapped a blue ribbon around it several times, tied it into a knot, and tied it into a long ponytail.
Owina leaned against the door frame, folding her hands, and watched Akane prepare her weapons in leisurely time.
"Are you going to be away for a long time?" Delpherie asked, looking up at Qian's back.
"Um."
"What will happen if the Earl comes back in the meantime?"
The curve of the girl's back stiffened slightly. She shook her head slightly, picked up the chest plate from the ground, staggered the two leather straps around her back, then wrapped them around her strong waist and tightened them.
Then fasten them together with metal locks.
Then came the back plate armor. She turned around and looked at the girl huddled in the chair.
Delphiri was wearing a black gauze dress, her skin was so white that there was no trace of blood, her leg muscles were atrophied and frighteningly slender, her arms were equally slender, and her waist was almost full. She held a hand in both hands.
There is a big book, and the whole body is leaning on the velvet cushion of the chair.
Her face also looked a little thinner. The forbidden spell burned her remaining life force like gangrene in the bones, but as if it was some kind of compensation, the light in the girl's eyes became brighter.
When he stood up, it was like a deep lake reflecting countless stars. The stars were burning one by one, as if the whole person's energy was about to emerge from them.
Akane hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her back plate armor and asked her with her eyes.
Delpherie took it without hesitation, and she took a breath. It was a little heavy.
Qian turned around, and Delphire stood up and pressed the deck against the curve of the latter's back. The former raised his right hand and held the straps on the back with his left hand, buckling them on one side of the chest one by one, and then
It's the other side.
"Is it dangerous in the dark forest?"
"It's okay. There's no danger in the black forest near the fir collar unless it's after midnight."
"This is the credit of the Earl."
"Um."
Akane was a little silent.
"My lord, the Earl, asked Her Royal Highness Princess Chiara for a favor for me before leaving. After returning to Sifah, she fulfilled her promise. Now, the special envoy of His Highness Levin Onneson has arrived at Yanbao, accompanied by
There are also the frigates Sheffield, Hurricane and Vasa; a few days ago, Princess Griffin handed me a letter, which said that although my father was under house arrest by my brothers, he was not seriously injured.
…”
Delpherie leaned on his back armor and talked nonchalantly, his tone a little soft.
"Congratulations, Delphiri." Qian also felt a little sincerely happy for the other party.
"But this is already the second favor I owe to the Earl."
"My lord, he won't care about it," Qian replied.
"But Yanbao can't think like this, otherwise he will be ungrateful. I represent the glory of the family and have the obligation to sacrifice for the family."
"But you have sacrificed enough."
Delpherie felt her hands loosen. Akane had fixed the back plate armor. She picked up the Azure Gun that was propped on the desk. Several circles of bandages were wrapped around the gun to prevent it from slipping due to the sweat on her hands.
Turn around and look at each other.
"I'm leaving, Delphire."
Delphire was stunned for a moment.
"Are you going deep into the dark forest?"
"It's farther than usual."
"That would be doubly dangerous."
Qian shook her head: "With the fire invented by Mr. Tamar, it is very safe to explore in the black forest now."
"Don't lie to me, this expedition itself is experimental, isn't it?"
Because Antitina did not suppress the news of the birth of the new fire. The latter spread at an unimaginable speed and became known to the entire Fir Territory in a short period of time. It can be predicted that when this news spreads to Amperesel and even further north
area, what a big impact it will have on the world of order.
However, compared with the rapid spread of the news, the progress of the experiment is very slow. In the past week, the new fire has only been tested a few times near the Black Forest. The staff lady sent several caveman expedition teams, but the results obtained were all
Satisfactory.
The mission of the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group is not only to go deep into the Black Forest to find the war slate that fell to the south of the Ring of Trade Winds, but more importantly, to obtain first-hand data on the new kind of fire deep in the Black Forest. This is very important to Tony.
This is a crucial part of Geer's plan.
Of course, this is quite risky. Antitina communicated with Akane in private several times, hoping that the latter would not go there in person, at least not to lead the team in person for the first time, but she was rejected one by one.
Akane's rare independent opinions and stubbornness seem to remind people that she was one of the few captains in the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group.
Delphiri's words reminded her of something. She thought that the other party was also a lobbyist sent by Antitina. Akane frowned slightly and was about to speak.
But what the daughter of Earl Yanbao said next surprised her:
"Take me with you, Miss Akane."
"ah?"
"I'll go with you, okay?"
"Miss Delfry..."
"I haven't seen the Black Forest yet. Did I tell you? Yan Castle is not on the border of civilization. In fact, I have always been full of yearning for the world outside the world of order."
"But that won't work, your body."
"I won't be a burden to you."
Delphire smiled playfully at Qian, and she stretched out her pale and slender hands and patted the armrests of the chair. The high-backed chair immediately jumped up on its four legs and walked around in a circle.
The mountain girl was so surprised that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear and looked at this joyful chair with wide eyes.
"The activation chair, I made it myself, how about it?"
"This...but...no," Qian shook her head vigorously: "No, no, I can't take you on an adventure."
Delphiri looked at her pitifully and blinked his long eyelashes.
"Over there at Yanbao..."
"Princess Chiara will take care of it."
"Why do you do this?"
"Didn't I say that Yanbao owes the Earl two favors? I can only consider paying back the first one. I will help you and I will summon the devil."
"Summon the devil?" Qian was startled. Devil's magic is such a taboo spell in the mortal world. On the other hand, Brando did keep the daughter of Earl Yanbao secretive.
"Well, you should know that in the world outside the order, demonic spells are very useful." Delphiri stretched out an arm, and a little devil with fleshy wings climbed up from behind the chair.
, jumped onto her shoulder, and then followed her slender arm to the palm of her hand.
The daughter of Earl Yanbao held up the little thing, made a fist with her other hand and put it to her mouth, bent down and coughed twice, then she raised her head and said to Qian: "This is the little devil, its scientific name is Imp.
, its real name is 4072na78s. It can sense the existence of magic flow. Magic is one of the main components of the world, especially outside the realm of order. In areas with disordered magic flow, monster nests are prone to appear. If there is a little devil,
With your help, I can help you avoid those large nests."
"But……"
"I also need the fountain of youth, don't I? The fountain of youth can only exist deep in the black forest. I am also exploring for myself."
"But the Lord said that he will help you."
"Then I owe him three favors. I don't even know how I can repay them. Besides, my status doesn't allow me to marry him. What's more, Miss Qian doesn't want to, right?"
Qian felt her face burning up. She felt that the other party definitely said that on purpose. The bright eyes of the daughter of Earl Yanbao were full of cunning light.
"Even if you say that..."
"Even if you say that?"
"Damn it, I agreed. I shouldn't have dealt with you cunning city dwellers in the first place. It was Antitina who asked you to come, right?"
"Miss Qian is not stupid at all." Delpherie smiled weakly.
The mountain girl stamped her feet angrily, turned around and walked out of the room.
Ovina, who was leaning on the door frame, shrugged and followed the former down the stairs from outside in a leisurely manner.
…
"Aloz, move forward, don't stop, watch your left wing."
The dragons spread out like swifts in a storm, intertwining with each other and moving forward in separate directions.
Strips of golden light moved forward in the pitch-black storm, and countless crystal clusters fell from the sky like raindrops, falling heavily to the ground and falling to pieces.
At this time, bursts of cheers erupted from the Cruz line on the ground. Behind the rows of imperial knights, Duke Levtore Reina stared at this scene through the forest of metal spear tips.
The cold wind passed through his temples, gently blowing the gray-white beard on his cheeks.
This is the second time that the giant dragons have passed over the Meklu River. When they spread their wings and swooped down, the flames they breathed hung down from the mid-air like golden-red lava waterfalls, among the tide-like crystal clusters.
