How can a retired savior be considered retired if his price drops to 40,000?

Chapter 257 Beware of Language Traps
In that moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka thought a lot.

After all, she had already been surprised by Chapter Master Dante about "Leon El'Jonson has returned"; about "the returned original body may suddenly appear without warning", She had learned that from Corvus Corax. With the above premise, she succeeded in acting calmly when facing the current situation, without being too surprised to hinder her thinking ability.

Since, in the psychic council unfolding on Parmenio, she could make a prompt decision to "try to capture Corvos Corax" in a scene that was about to become chaotic in front of Robert Guilliman. decision, then she would not show any obvious fear when facing the Tangtang Lion King who appeared behind her.

The first thing that needs to be done is to swallow back the sentence "You look much older than you did ten thousand years ago."

— but this may partly explain the strange mental state of the Lion's Mane's crew.

"Then let's move the topic a little further." After three seconds of "a lot of thinking," Fujimaru Ritsuka replied calmly (at least that's what it seemed), "Are you sure, you want to Are you causing trouble for Lan Malok because of this matter?"

Leon tilted his head, but that didn't mean anything. In the illusion, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't catch the clues of his emotions from the lion with 100% accuracy, and it was certainly impossible to find the cunning old lion in front of her now. The Lion King just tilted his head, but other than that his expression did not change, and his tone when he spoke again was flat: "What if I say, this is it?"

"If that's the case," Fujimaru Ritsuka emphasized the premise of being virtualized, while getting rid of various facilities and obstructions behind him, slowly widening the distance from the original body, "then you really You have to start thinking of ways to 'knock me down'."

Lan Mallock looked frightened in the broadcast projection, but Leon himself just said: "Are you sure? When you find out that you need to face me - the real master of the Dark Angel, a original body, a A creature whose ability is far superior to yours - after that, are you sure you still don't intend to change your original statement?"

"Once a word is spoken, it is hard to chase it." Fujimaru Ritsuka successfully widened the distance between himself and Leon to about five meters without the other party taking action. "Changing orders from morning to night is a taboo for commanders." , if I just renege on my promise without a proper reason, I won’t be able to sit firmly in this position—Lan Malok and the others should have told you about me, right?”

"You guessed it right." Leon El Jonson looked at the space that had just been separated between the two without any dissatisfaction - at least it seemed like this - and it was very difficult for his speed and reaction ability. The distance was still meaningless, and he turned his attention back to the other party, "I know very well that you are leading this team in name only."

"So now, nominally, I am Ran Malok's direct superior." Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to have finally found a comfortable distance for her. After standing still, she crossed her arms defensively again, "So I Hold on, if you want to cause trouble with him, you have to get past me first.”

Ran Malok could no longer see the shadow of Fujimaru Ritsuka on the radio, but this did not prevent him from immediately beginning to wonder if she was mentally abnormal after hearing these words. It was difficult for him to judge from the restricted picture transmitted by the broadcast how Leon, who was at the scene, felt about this, but at least his original body seemed to be interested: "Do you still insist on the way you just claimed? 'Knock you down'?"

"Are you going to take action?" Fujimaru Ritsuka asked alertly. "I'm just curious." Leon replied calmly, "I admit, if that person who was looking into the room by the door...Sigismund? realized something was wrong and rushed in, he could indeed hold me back for a few seconds. Seconds. But how do you use those seconds to get out of what’s to come?”

The gap between the Primarchs and the Astartes was so difficult to bridge - provided, of course, that the Emperor did not cheat in the process. The gap between the Primarch and mortals only grows wider - of course, the same premise must be emphasized again. At least now Leon really can't imagine that after he successfully made Sigismund lose his combat effectiveness, Fujimaru could only run a few steps in a few seconds and couldn't even get any reliable weapons and equipment. How should Ritsuka fight back?

"I think there are some misunderstandings here." Fujimaru Ritsuka also said calmly, "First of all, this is a conflict between you and me over the command of some of the Dark Angels' troops, so I will not ask Sigismund to De came to help; secondly, I only said you have to try to 'punch me down', but I didn't say that the premise here is 'I will challenge you in a one-on-one fight'."

Just as she finished her words, a double-glazed transparent curtain wall landed between the two people in the room with a "bang" amidst the sound of huge mechanical operation at a speed that the original body was slightly unable to react. The entire glittering room also shook continuously. In the loud noise that almost swallowed everything, what Fujimaru Ritsuka said was separated behind the completely sealed double-layer glass, and was interpreted by the Caliban Lion in the form of lip reading:

"Sorry for the word play, but I'm pretty good at 'hide and seek', and the Emperor's Dream happens to be my home turf." She smiled and waved at him from behind the glass, "I want to If you want to 'beat me down', you have to find where I actually am first. Is this logic correct?"

The ground under Leon's feet slowly began to sink amid the vibrations - or in other words, the half of the room where Fujimaru Ritsuka was located slowly began to rise. The room on the Emperor's Dream was bounded by a double-glazed curtain wall. The originally tight floors and walls slowly dislocated and split. They were split into two rooms amidst the sound of the machine's rotation, and each began to move to another location.

This fact, which was completely unexpected but was happening right before his eyes, made Leon feel mixed in his heart. First of all, he had to praise this little mortal girl who seemed to be only a little older. She was really smart and responsible. The Lion's Mane did not suffer any disadvantages when it served under her management.

Secondly, he must emphasize that he had boarded the Emperor's Dream more than once thousands of years ago, but he never knew that this magnificent ship had such a function - he had not discovered it by his own ability. , and the Emperor never told him. But now this function has been used so skillfully by a little girl who doesn't know where it came from. It was even used without any possibility of rehearsing it in advance, and it was used to successfully escape the attack range of a original body. This inevitably made him feel a little sour in his heart.

But if Leon did have a strong intention to attack at that time, the outcome of the matter would probably have to be told differently. Leon didn't think that just two layers of special glass, even if it was installed on the Emperor's Dream, so the quality of the special glass could never be compromised, could completely block him and his sword.

During the movement, the originally transparent glass curtain wall turned into opaque black under the action of program instructions. The "door" in this room was removed by Fujimaru Ritsuka's side during the separation, and Leon himself did not come with the purpose of antagonizing the other party. So now, the original body locked in this small space has to wait for the end of this round of "transformation" to see if this room will be "assigned" to a normal exit before making plans.
