The airship pad of Grancel, the capital of the Flower King. After watching Richard and Yulia drive the black-painted Intelligence Department airships to the Amber Tower and the Cyan Tower respectively, Cassius Bright also greeted

His teammates Sarah, Sherazade and Yanelas got on the boat.

"Is it the airship of the Ministry of Intelligence? Its maximum speed is 2,300 Sel moments per hour, which is a quarter faster than the Royal Army's security airship." Cassius sat in the driver's seat and acted as the pilot of the airship.

After the airship took off successfully, the ship's data was evaluated.

"I didn't expect you, Mr. Cassius, to be able to fly an airship. Lieber is indeed a great air force. I have never heard of anyone in the Empire's Guerrilla Association who can fly an airship." Sarah said to Cassius.

"Versatile" said with emotion.

"Sarah, don't forget Mr. Cassius. He was a hero in the Hundred Days War. Using the maneuverability of airships to carry out assault landings was a tactic he invented." Sherazade had no idea about this.

Unexpectedly, "But there are very few guerrillas who have an airship pilot's license. Among our guerrillas in Liebel, besides the teacher, it seems that only Kreutz has one. If there is a chance, I would also like to go to Wang."

Learn from the airship commune in the capital and get an airship pilot's license."

"Well, it sounds so interesting to hear you go up there. Should I also learn from it..." Yanelas also started to think about it. As the saying goes, "There are many skills but not too much weight".

"Haha, Yanelas, you are not of age yet. The Airship Commune stipulates that only adults can apply for the exam. Although Yulia taught Princess Clodia how to operate the airship, she actually does not have a driver's license. But Sheila and Sha

I hope you guys can give it a try. After all, our Liber Kingdom is very mountainous and hilly. If you encounter a mission that requires long distances, flying an airship is the most convenient option. After I return to the Kingdom Army, I will consider lending some of the old airships that have been retired.

It is used by the Guerrilla Association, and the association should set up relevant training courses by then." Cassius said to the people behind him.

"Well, Mr. Cassius, after you return to the Royal Army, can you still influence the operation of the Liberer Kingdom Guerrilla Association?" Sarah asked a little strangely.

"The national conditions of the Kingdom of Liber are different from those of the Erebonian Empire. The Guerrilla Association of the Kingdom was originally established with the authorization of the Royal Army. At first, there were no other guerrillas in the Kingdom of Liber except the Grancel branch.

The Soldiers Association. Compared with neighboring countries, our regular army strength in Liber is not large. Considering the need to maintain public security, if branches can be established in various regions, it should be able to share part of the work of the army. Therefore, in more than ten years

I discussed this matter with General Morgan before."

"Hey, let's put it this way, it was your teacher's idea that Lorente would establish a branch of the Guerrilla Association?" This was the first time Sherazade had heard of such an inside story.

"You can think of it this way. However, the main person responsible is General Morgan. After the Hundred Days War, the establishment of the Guerrilla Association in Perth, Rouen, Chase and Lorient was basically his single-handed responsibility."

"But the old man seemed very dissatisfied with the Guerrilla Association." Sherazade remembered what he had encountered with General Morgan at the Haken Gate.

"Sorry, it's my problem that has caused you trouble. After that, I left the army and became a guerrilla. General Morgan probably regrets this." Cassius said in a helpless tone.

Sarah nodded after listening.

"I finally understand why the Empire expelled the Guerrilla Association. If you have to get authorization from the regular army to set up local branches, then the existence of guerrillas is completely unnecessary for the Imperial Army, which has more than enough military strength. In fact, in recent years

I should have noticed that the Railway Gendarmerie has become more and more arrogant in the imperial capital circle. The explosion at the Heimdall branch was just the trigger. Even if this incident had not happened, the imperial association would have faced a similar situation sooner or later."

Talking about the empire, Sarah's mood was a little depressed, but she quickly cheered up. Now she is no longer a guerrilla affiliated with the Heimdall branch, but a guerrilla affiliated with the Grancel branch.

.

Cassius did not go directly to the Amber Tower, but first landed the airship at Wilt Bridge Pass, which he passed on the way, which was a royal army stronghold located on the dividing line between the Perth area and the Lorente area.

"The top part of the Emerald Tower has been covered by a mysterious darkness. A few hours ago, the patrol airship approached the top of the tower for investigation. However, the patrol airship immediately fell into a state of functional shutdown and was forced to evacuate." The guard captain of the gate.

He told Cassius what he knew.

"Is the guiding force stopping phenomenon? I know, we will pay attention to it."

After learning about the situation from the guard captain, Cassius immediately returned to the Intelligence Department airship and headed in the direction of the Emerald Tower.

However, when they flew close to the Emerald Tower, there was no black spherical space at all. It was just that the top of the tower was shrouded in white mist, making it difficult to see the details. This layer of fog seemed to interfere with the perception of breath.

, the four warriors on the airship were unable to confirm the specific situation within the fog through their sense of Qi.

For the sake of safety, the airship did not land directly on the top of the tower, but landed on the ground first.

There was not a single monster inside the Emerald Tower. Led by Cassius, the four of them successfully passed through the Amber Tower and reached the top floor. And when they appeared on the top floor, there was no mist anywhere.

It's all open space that's clear to see at a glance.

In the open space, there is a five-foot-tall puppet weapon standing motionless next to the ancient device. In front of them is a green-haired woman dressed in the style of an oriental magician, holding two pairs of red folding fans.

"The mist just now is a confusing illusion that only works on the outside. Sister Luciola, your illusion is still so powerful."

As soon as Shirazad climbed to the top of the tower, he recognized the green-haired woman. It was Luciola who had been acting with her some time ago. Although he already knew that she was a member of the Body-Eating Snake, Shirazad

In his heart, De has always prayed that the executor at the top of the tower is someone else.

"I didn't expect it to be you, illusionist Miss Luciola. We haven't seen each other for almost eight years." Cassius also recognized the woman's identity.

"Welcome, Sherazade. It seems that the illusion I cast on you has been solved. You have really grown a lot. Also, stay well, Mr. Cassius. I didn't expect you to still remember me.

The appearance of the illusionist happened a long time ago. The executor of the Body-Eating Serpent is No. 6 Bell of Illusion, which is my current title."

"Well, when Lena was still alive, my naughty daughter often ran to your Harvey Circus to play. She must have caused you a lot of trouble at that time."

"Ah, yes, it's really nostalgic. That was more than ten years ago. My sister Sherazade also met your father and daughter at that time. She was already a big girl in the blink of an eye."

"You are very different from the rumors about the executors that I heard in the association. I don't feel any hostility from you." Cassius glanced at the invisible person behind the pillar with the corner of his eye.

"Because I have performed here, this is a good place that makes me nostalgic. It can be said that it happened on a whim."

"Won't that puppet weapon attack us? You brought it out from the underground of the royal capital, right?" Cassius curiously pointed to the motionless fantasy music and said.

"We don't know the specific situation of the ring guardian. According to my guess, the mission assigned by the ring has ended, so it has entered a standby state."

Luciola and Cassius were reminiscing about old times, as if they were old friends they hadn't seen for many years. But such an atmosphere made Sherazade beside him a little unable to hold himself back.

"Sister Luciola, I have a few words to say to you."

"Ouch...what do you want to say?"

"Initially, I didn't plan to stay in Liber for a long time. For me, it was just a temporary place to stay until my sister came back. However, after that, another eight years passed. Now I have friends

, I have a partner, someone who treats me as a family member, and a job that I am proud of. I am no longer...not the dancer Sherazade of Harvey Circus. The Kingdom of Liber is my new hometown, if

If someone wants to harm this place, even if it’s my sister, I can’t forgive you!”

Sherazade did not realize that she had been under the illusion before. She just thought that her condition was not good, so her thoughts were a little conservative. Even after she returned to normal, she did not think about it, but Luciola

Telling the truth, coupled with Luciola's participation in the attack on Grancel City, suddenly ignited the fire in her heart.

"Haha, that's right. For you, association is too far away. If you are determined to become enemies, then use all your strength to deal with us."

"Oh, sister, since you are an acquaintance of Senior Brother Cassius and Senior Sherazade, why do you want to be our enemy? Can't we all sit down and talk slowly?" Yanilas saw the original atmosphere on both sides.

Very good, but suddenly I became nervous and tried to speak.

"Anilas, there's no need to say anything. If you just ask with words, my sister won't say anything. I have to prove that my own strength is worthy of her answering." Sherazade stopped Anilas.

Ask.

"Hey...oh hehe, you seem to know me very well." Luciola looked at Sherazade with interest and said.

"Because my sister always taught me skills like this before, using whip techniques, using "Tarot" divination, and making origami shikigami. So, sister, please promise me. If I prove my strength

, you have to tell me why you want to join the Body-Eating Snake." Sherazade made a request to Luciola.

"Haha... Okay. But for other people, please forgive me for not treating me well. Especially Mr. Cassius, although he more or less expected that you might come with Sherazade, but your

The level is still a bit too high.”

Luciola waved the folding fan in her left hand, and two fog demons appeared beside her.

At the same time, an orange-haired man no longer concealed his aura and walked out from the shadow of the pillar.

Yanilas recognized the identity of the visitor at a glance. The winner of the martial arts competition, the master Valut who broke the gate of Grancel City with one move.

"Cassius, the original sword master, is such a good opponent. It's worth my special trip. Hey, Luciola, it's okay if I change the order of battle. I'll leave this brother Cassius to

I."

"Valut, you are really changing your tactics without authorization, which will lower your opponent's chances of winning."

"I can't help it. Who makes me a martial arts fanatic? With such a good opponent, of course I won't let your shikigami enjoy it. If you want to talk to your sister, your good ghost and guardian ghost will go to the other side.

Let’s take those two. One-on-one for everyone, I think it’s pretty fair, right?”

Luciola nodded to Varut when she heard this. She waved the folding fan in her right hand again. The entire Emerald Tower was divided into one large, three small and four areas by the cross-shaped barrier, dividing Cassius's side.

The four of them were separated. The arena built with illusions was not only something that Ken Parella could do, it was also not difficult for Luciola.

Valut and Cassius are in the largest field. Sarah's opponent is the good ghost of the fog demon, Yanelas's opponent is the guardian ghost of the fog demon, and Sherazade and Luciola are behind the scenes.

in the same area.

Seeing the man approaching little by little, Cassius was on full alert.

"Grandmaster Warut of the Taidou style, I heard about you from your junior brother Jin."

"Ah, that stupid boy. He actually knows nothing about what happened back then. You don't need to pay too much attention to what he says. Let me declare in advance that this has nothing to do with the association's mission. I just want to fight with you, brother. Now I stand with you

The person in front of me is not the executor No. 9 Thin Wolf Varut, but the great disciple Varut. Let me see what level you, the great disciple of the Eight Leaves Itto Style, are like!"

As Walut spoke, he moved his wrist, and the joints made a rattling sound.

"I haven't picked up a sword for many years. How dare I call myself Yatsuba Itto-ryu? However, I still accept your invitation to fight."

Cassius held the stick in his hand, and his momentum continued to increase, surrounded by huge apricot fighting energy.

"This color of fighting spirit... is the improved Qilin Kung Fu. Drink it!"

After Varut finished speaking, a golden fighting spirit that was superior to Cassius rose up around him. The looming fighting spirit gathered in the sky and formed a dragon shape. This was an image that was automatically formed after the Dragon Divine Art has been practiced to the level of proficiency.
