Arad's Sword

Chapter 4 Enemies
This bright and sincere smile, like the warm sunshine in the rainy winter day, also made the future queen of magic bullets and her two faithful companions feel speechless.

At this point, they can already be sure that this guy who is said to be unlearned and inexperienced but only at level 16 who came to their team is definitely not easy.Not only does he possess great strength, but even when facing the aura of the Storm Queen, he is still able to handle it with ease.

No matter what kind of thoughts he has in his heart, just this demeanor and this character are enough to be admired.

"It doesn't seem bad to have such a person as a companion in trials." Sigmund gave his own suggestion.

"But if it's really an undercover agent, you can't let it go." Lilian's eyes flickered, and her tone was eager to try, "Miss Fina, do you want me to try him?"

"That's not necessary." Fina shook her head. "I said it at the beginning, if you pass the assessment on the training ground, you are a member of my team. Since it is a promise that has been made, it must be kept."

Besides, Fina doesn't think that Midi really has any malicious intentions. If that's the case, he doesn't have to be so strong and conspicuous when he comes up. It's time to make a sudden attack.

Midi was honest, Fina's intuition told her so.

"Midi Asrex, from now on, you are a member of my team." Looking at the black-haired boy who was wiping the sweat on his forehead in front of her, Fina finally said, "The next step is to The thing to do is very simple, just get the first place in the trial, can you keep up?"

"I will do my best." Midi replied while breathing calmly.

Sigmund's admiration, Lilian's suspicion, and the recognition from the Queen of Storms made Midi feel warm in her heart.He did not hesitate to expose his strength as soon as he was reborn, and he spent all his energy to achieve this victory, which finally paid off.

Even if it is not at the level of "trust", at least I have really entered into Fina's field of vision. If something happens in the next trial, the suggestions I put forward will at least have certain weight, and not be ignored directly.

This is the first goal that Midi wants to achieve.

However, this battle once again made Midi aware of the current limit - the boy is actually far from being as relaxed as it seems on the surface - just the dodge at the beginning has exhausted most of his mind, and then completely Relying on many years of skills in the battle, not to mention the burden of performing moves such as Ghost Slash as a human swordsman, the subsequent attrition battle with eight intermediate dolls almost made him gasp.

After all, this body is still a playboy. Perhaps the soul residing in it is full of ambitions after rebirth, but the physical quality is far behind.

Power, who I am now, needs more power.

Just as Midi was thinking, with a heavy roar, the door of the training ground was slammed open.

The uniform footsteps of the attendants sounded one after another, much heavier than the sound of continuous rain, hitting everyone's heart.These well-trained guards lined up in two rows, leaving a straight avenue in the middle, leading directly to the outside of the training ground, on the luxury carriage pulled by eight purebred horses that had just stopped.

A blond boy got out of the car slowly. He was very tall and was already similar to an adult. His short hair like golden spikes set off a handsome and cold face.

The moment the young man walked into the training ground, the air that was originally filled with humidity was filled with the smell of gunpowder for some reason.Even Sigmund and Lilian, who were usually calm and composed, had serious eyes. Only Fina, who was fearless, still showed a mocking smile full of leeway.

At this moment, Midi's black pupils shrank violently.

"Fenrir Seth..." In his mouth, the name whispered softly.

Scenes from the past and the present emerged from the depths of memory, making Midi's fists clenched uncontrollably.

This boy, named after the legendary ice giant wolf, is the chief heir of the Seth family as the representative of the parliamentarian faction. The Kers family is still on the side of the councilors.

It was precisely because of Fenrir's instigation that I, who had never had any ambitions before, wanted to participate in the dispute between the Queen's faction and the Parliamentarian faction.Coupled with the pressure from the back of the Seth family, both soft and hard, and equal emphasis on kindness and power, Midi's father had no choice but to nod and succumb to the behavior of his dude son.

In this way, the Asrex family, which is only the title of earl, has become a pawn that may be abandoned at any time in the factional struggle, but Midi doesn't know it, and thinks that he has received attention.

Looking back now, how ridiculous these actions were.

If it's just these things, it's fine, I can't blame others for being stupid.The aristocratic world is originally a cruel and ruthless world decorated with luxury, etiquette and smiles, and it is normal to win and lose.

But what Fenrir and his family did was far more ruthless.

After the storm queen Fina was injured due to the trial, the Seth family not only launched various political offensives, but also put all the responsibility on the Midi family, which did not fulfill the original agreement at all.

And when the Delos Empire launched an invasion, the Seth family, who had always been righteous and called themselves the "National Spokesperson", turned their backs immediately and became traitors, surrendering the entire country.Fenrir became the vanguard who worked for the empire, cruelly killing and suppressing a large number of people in the Principality of Belmar.

Among them, the persecution suffered by Midi's family was particularly serious. Both parents were sentenced to death, and the entire earldom was burned to the ground, leaving no one left.

Even after Midi had been in exile for several years, finally established the "Falcon Group" and restarted his life on the continent of Arad as an adventurer, Fenrir, who had already awakened for the second time, still mercilessly fought in various In large-scale raids, suppress yourself, or even stab yourself in the back.

It must be said that the deaths of Fina and Alice are more or less related to Fenrir's interference.

Is it because the two are both ghost swordsmen, but I got a stronger ghost because of a coincidence?

Or did Belle Mare's most eye-catching high mountain flower, the unattainable queen of magic bullets, choose herself in the end?
Midi doesn't know why Fenrir hates him so much, or is he jealous of himself, but there is no doubt that the deep hatred between the two is absolutely impossible to unravel.He has no doubt that in this life, as long as the young man in front of him has the opportunity, he will still abandon himself as cannon fodder without hesitation, and will still ruthlessly crush himself to ashes.

In fact, hadn't he already been treated as cannon fodder?

A cold and self-deprecating smile emerged from the corner of Midi's mouth.

In the memory of the previous life, I and Fenrir had very little interaction in the college days. In order to avoid suspicion, the other party even adopted an attitude of indifference to Fina's team combination.

But this time was different. There were many eyes and ears on the training ground, and the news that Midi passed the "flame challenge" must have reached the opponent's ears.The reason why Fenrir hurried over must be because the original cannon fodder has become a powerful force, so he had to appear in person. On the one hand, he tried to shake Fina, and on the other hand, he was trying to win him over.

However, how could Midi, who had known the other party's ruthlessness for a long time, be tricked again?

"It's just in time, why don't we take this opportunity to completely break away from the Senator faction and stop being a pawn!" Midi thought, striding forward.

"I heard that someone passed the famous 'flame' challenge, so I came here to take a look." Fenrir said with a smile, with a calm expression, "I didn't expect it to be you."

"Thank you, Your Excellency Fenrir, for your compliment." Midi replied calmly with standard aristocratic etiquette.

"Passing the Flame Challenge is worth congratulating. Come to the Elven King's Court Hotel tonight, and I will call a group of friends to congratulate you." Fenrir said, after thinking about it, he added with a smirk on purpose, "And the girl you said you wanted last time, I'll bring it along too. Anyway, I'm tired of playing, so I'll give it to you."

This is more of an order than an invitation.As for the purpose, it's not really to celebrate Midi, but to remind and frighten Fina that this strong man in your team is mine.Of course, Midi can also predict that at the banquet, Fenrir will definitely try his best to find out his details.

Just a few simple words have achieved the effect of sowing dissension and wooing to appease. This Fenrir is really not simple.

But this kind of aristocratic game is meaningless to the reborn Midi. When he thought of the misery of the previous life, he didn't have any thoughts of hypocrisy and arrogance, but shook his head directly: "I don't have time to attend your banquet. Your Excellency Fenrir, besides, I don't have that interest either."

Fenrir blinked, with a hypocritical aristocratic smile on his face, thinking for a moment that he had heard wrong.

As the chief heir of the Seth family, whether in the territory or in the academy, where is he not the object of other people's fawning?Not to mention among his peers, even real nobles, there are definitely not a few who bow their heads in front of him.

It's fine if it's the Queen of Storms, but what is this Midi in front of her?The son of the earl is nothing more than the territory not far from the duchy of the Seth family. He has no choice but to become a vassal of the great nobles and a vanguard of the parliamentarian faction.

But this boy dared to be so rude to himself, Fenrir's handsome face was a little distorted in anger.

"You're crazy." Fenrir pursed his lips slightly, resumed the condescending attitude just now, and sneered, "In front of the Seth family, you are just a little nobleman! You just passed the flame challenge, and you really put yourself What is it? As long as I lightly move my finger, you and your family will be worse than death!"

"If you want a war, then I'll give you a war." Midi replied flatly, looking into Fenrir's eyes, calm and sharp, without any emotional fluctuations.

This was not because he was blinded by hatred, nor was he impulsive, but the result of calculation.

Whether it is from a personal or a family point of view, the Seth family and his own family have irreconcilable conflicts, and they will break up sooner or later.If the delay continues now and the surrender to the Seth family is still maintained, the result will not be any asylum or benefits, on the contrary, it will only pay more and more costs.

After all, the other party has never shown any sincerity, they just want to squeeze the role that they regard as cannon fodder.

That being the case, it's better to break up completely and let the invisible shackles be shattered.

Although the earldom of the family is indeed not far from the duchy of the Seth family, it is not directly connected. Even if the other party really uses troops, it will take a lot of twists and turns.And now it happened to be during the academy trial period, and all the big and small forces in the Principality were extremely sensitive. Even the Seth family did not dare to act rashly, which bought time.

As long as they survive this period of time, soon, with the advent of the Grand Forest fire, the value of the Earldom where the Midi family is located will continue to be revealed.

That being the case, it's better to break up as soon as possible, and smash all the constraints and shackles that are tied to your family!
