My queen is rebelling!

Outside the main tent, on a large open space, representatives from various adventure groups confidently walked into the tent, only to emerge with their heads hanging low.

The situation was clear: almost an entire morning had passed, and not a single adventure group had passed the selection process yet.

Koen's "Endless Blade" adventure group hadn't submitted an application form beforehand, having only done so temporarily upon arriving at the site, so they were scheduled last.

The "Azure Gale Bravehearts," who had accompanied them, had also gone in early, but unfortunately, they also failed to pass.

At that moment, Koen was inquiring with Chieftain Mogg about the content of the trials.

After listening to the other party's description, a hint of understanding flashed through his mind, and he felt more confident.

Just as they were talking, a woman's angry voice rang out not far away:

"Buzzer! How dare you show your face here!"

Chieftain Mogg's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice:

"That's Margaret's voice."

Koen frowned slightly and hurried towards the scene with Chieftain Mogg.

When they arrived, sure enough, besides Margaret, Arnold was also present.

Opposite the two of them was a pale, thin man with a malicious glint in his eyes.

This should be the Buzzer whom Margaret had just mentioned.

Buzzer's voice was thin and shrill:

"Margaret, I didn't expect you to be so stubborn, still following this big oaf!"

Margaret said angrily:

"You traitor! If you hadn't leaked Freya's information to curry favor with that bastard Baron, the adventure group wouldn't have been in trouble!

You are an ungrateful bastard! Have you forgotten who saved you from the mouth of a magical beast back then?"

Buzzer said in a frivolous tone:

He knew that Koen had an important plan for coming here.

This was not Effien, and he didn't want to cause trouble for Koen.

However, sometimes, even if you don't want to cause trouble, trouble always comes looking for you.

Buzzer used to be a member under Arnold's adventure group.

He had always coveted Margaret, but Margaret had placed all her affection on Arnold, ignoring his persistent pursuit.

This made Buzzer hate out of love, and after learning that Arnold's daughter had awakened a warlock talent,

He harbored malicious intentions and told the local Baron about this news, joining forces to destroy Arnold's adventure group.

He himself also took the opportunity to cozy up to the Baron, and after spending almost half of his fortune, he finally managed to get a position in the Gavin family.

Originally, he was still regretting that Arnold had run away silently, preventing him from properly retaliating.

He didn't expect that fate would have it that they would meet here today.

Buzzer looked at the adventure group badge on Arnold's body with a smug expression and laughed loudly:

"Endless Blade? What is that supposed to be?

Which brain-damaged, chuunibyou teenager came up with that name?

Arnold, you're really getting worse and worse!"

Buzzer flipped through the application forms on the side, found the "Endless Blade" application form, and couldn't help but laugh even more after looking at the information on it.

The mocking voice was exceptionally grating in the surrounding crowd:

"A third-tier brat as the leader? Arnold, why don't you hand over your daughter, and I'll ask His Excellency the Baron to help you rebuild an adventure group!"

The undisguised mocking laughter made Arnold clench his fists tightly.

Buzzer's voice continued to ring out:

"With this level of strength, you're also trying to participate in the recruitment?

Don't defile the Special Envoy's eyes after you go in.

I think you should just go back to where you came from!"

As he said that, he casually threw the application form on the ground.

Just then, an icy cold voice pierced into the scene:

"Arnold, we're called 'Endless Blade,' not 'Endless Turtle'!

Someone's come to provoke us, and you're not fighting back?

Give him a good beating!"

Koen looked indifferently at the arrogant Buzzer, signaling Asuna beside him not to act.

He had also heard the general situation just now and knew about the grudges between them.

Some things had to be resolved by Arnold himself.

For an excellent soldier, all that was needed was to obey orders.

What Gavin family, what powerful Duke, as long as Koen gave the order, he wouldn't care about anything!

Terror suddenly surfaced in Buzzer's eyes as he looked at Arnold rushing over, his voice becoming distorted from fear:

"You… what are you doing? I'm from Duke Gavin's family! Do you not want to live anymore!"

With a bang.

Arnold didn't even activate his curse mark and punched Buzzer to the ground.

Then, as if venting his anger, he beat Buzzer like a dead dog, leaving him paralyzed on the ground, with none of the arrogance he had shown before.

"What are you doing! What are you doing!"

Seeing their man being beaten, the Gavin family's guards instantly surrounded Arnold:

"Stop! Stop it now!"

Seeing the other party's men coming, Arnold didn't entangle himself too much, kicked Buzzer's vital point fiercely, and returned to Koen's side.

Buzzer let out a shrill scream, his already sharp voice sounding even more grating.

He looked tearfully at an older man among the guards, exaggerating the events that had just happened.

This was the connection he had spent money to get.

After listening, the older guard walked up to Koen and the others and said angrily:

"Which of you is the leader of the 'Endless Blade'?

How dare you beat someone from our Gavin family? Do you not want to live?

Men, let them see the majesty of the Gavin family!"

Koen ignored him, signaling Asuna on the side with his eyes.

Asuna couldn't hold back any longer, and a red light flashed in her hand.

A fast-flying red shadow instantly flew out, swinging around at the surrounding guards.

It directly knocked everyone to the ground.

The older guard was also given special attention, his entire jaw completely dislocated, and he couldn't speak clearly:

"Bast… bastard, men… men, give me…"

Koen smiled faintly, his magic power surging as he said loudly towards the main tent in front:

"I can break your Elven race's 'Five-Element Cage Technique'!"

As soon as Koen's voice fell, a crisp and melodious voice came from inside the tent:

"Interesting. Come in and try."

As this voice sounded, the entire place immediately fell silent.

Most of the people present had been inside the main tent and knew that this heavenly voice came from the female emperor's special envoy.

Even the guards didn't dare to move anymore.

After a while, a noble young master with a gloomy face appeared in front of everyone.

It was Gavin Duke's eldest son, Ifil O'Gavin.

Ifil O' approached Koen and asked in a deep voice:

"The leader of the 'Endless Blade' adventure group?"

Koen nodded.

Ifil O' looked at Koen's attire, a strange look surfacing in his heart.

Since that "Shadow Lord" became famous, his imitators have been increasing in number.

Now, almost the entire street is filled with similar outfits.

Someone behind Ifero picked up the application form that Boozer had just thrown on the ground and handed it over.

Boozer, standing to the side, wore an expression of despair.

He didn't expect that this unfamiliar leader would actually alarm Ifero to come in person.

Throwing away the application form could be a big deal or a small one.

After all, even if a third-tier leader wasn't allowed to participate in the recruitment selection, no one would say anything.

But now that this third-tier adventurer group had caught Ifero's eye, it was different.

If it were really taken to the extreme, the position he had been seeking for most of his life would be ruined!

Even his reputation would be ruined in the future, a servant expelled from the Gavin family.

Who would dare to use him?

Boozer was immersed in deep regret.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Ifero looked at the application form, third-tier?

He felt a throbbing in his forehead.

Looking further down, there was a Mechanist in the team!

Perhaps that was the source of his confidence.

Ifero said in a deep voice:

"Where is your Mechanist member? Bring him along with me."

When Cohen entered the tent, the elf lady was feasting and enjoying all kinds of delicacies.

Cohen looked up and saw the appearance, the aura, and a name almost came to his lips.

Winsader Windrunner!

This elf lady has a very close personal relationship with Empress Sennis Klein of the Central Empire, and even the Empress's successful ascension to the throne.

It is inseparable from the support of the Winged Elf royal family behind Winsader.

He didn't expect the Empress's special envoy to be her!

At the same time, he was secretly drumming in his heart, this woman is famous for being unreliable.

She dares to trick even Empress Sennis when she gets angry, so you must be cautious when dealing with her.

Winsader elegantly pursed her red lips and looked up at Cohen and Freya, her eyes lingering on Freya for a while.

Mechanist?

It's a pity that the level is too low, otherwise it would be quite suitable.

Afterwards, she focused on Cohen.

Wearing a legendary-level magic item on his face, he has a big background.

This dress is somewhat similar to that "Shadow Lord".

Is it an imitator or is it really the "Shadow Lord" himself?

No matter which one it is, it's a bit interesting.

Winsader slightly raised her red lips and asked:

"You can know what kind of magic I use just by listening to other people's descriptions, without seeing it with your own eyes?"

Cohen said slowly:

"I happen to have research on the ancient elven race. Your Excellency's special envoy should be using a magic trap exclusive to the elven royal family, called 'Five-Element Cage Art.'

It evolved from the ancient elves' 'Elemental Deprivation Art'."

Winsader raised her eyebrows slightly, thinking to herself:

He has an understanding and insight into ancient secrets that surpasses ordinary people. Is he a "Keeper of Secrets" walking outside from the "Cobalt Soul Academy"?

Winsader suppressed the thoughts in her heart, and her voice sounded:

"If you're ready, then prepare to start breaking the formation."

Cohen gestured and pointed to Freya, who had just broken through to the extraordinary, and said:

"She is the one who breaks the formation, not me."

A hint of playfulness appeared in Winsader's eyes:

"Are you sure? The little girl next to you should have just awakened her Warlock talent, and I'm afraid she hasn't even learned bloodline spells.

Are you sure you want her to break the formation?"

Freya, who was next to her, was also taken aback and stammered:

"Sir, I have been learning basic theory from Sister Nephthys these days.

I haven't started learning how to use Warlock abilities yet."

Cohen smiled and shook his head:

"No need, just do as I tell you."

Cohen whispered a few words in Freya's ear, and the expression on the latter's face gradually became a little more confident.

After speaking, Cohen took a few steps back, signaling Winsader to start casting the spell.

Winsader, as before, drew a beautiful trajectory in the air with her arm, and a transparent cage appeared around Freya.

Five runes are arranged in the center of the cage.

Five colors: red, orange, yellow, green, and cyan; five shapes: square, circle, rhombus, triangle, and pentagon.

The colors and shapes are combined randomly and change constantly, making people dizzy.

Freya took out the staff that Cohen had equipped her with before departure, her eyes firm, staring at the constantly changing five runes.

When a red pentagon rune appeared, she instantly waved her staff and chanted words.

A dazzling light shot out from the tip of the staff, hitting the red pentagon rune directly.

In an instant, the changing five runes stagnated.

Immediately afterwards, the red pentagon rune began to flicker, twist, and finally turned into fragments.

With a buzzing sound.

The magic power fluctuation of the transparent cage suddenly dropped a lot, and the remaining four runes began to operate again.

Winsader suddenly stood up from her seat, looking deeply at Cohen not far away.

Freya's smiling face showed joy, and she continued to stare at the remaining four runes, and when a cyan rhombus rune appeared, she waved her staff again.

As before, another rune was cracked.

A few minutes passed, and when the last rune was cracked, the entire tent was silent.

A magic circle that had blocked almost the entire northwestern region's adventurer groups was actually cracked so easily by a little girl who had just awakened her Warlock talent!

If it weren't for the surprise flashing on Winsader's face as well, they would have really thought that the Empress's special envoy was deliberately releasing water!

Ifero was more like discovering a treasure, staring at Cohen with glowing eyes.

Winsader's heart was fluctuating.

This "Five-Element Cage Art" is one of the compulsory spells of their elven royal family.

The orthodox method of breaking the formation should be to master the operating rules of these five runes through powerful wisdom and calculation ability.

Intervene in the rules to break the formation.

Winsader had never even heard of Freya's method of dispelling one rune at a time.

If everyone mastered this method, wouldn't their elven race's exclusive spell be completely useless?

Cohen seemed to see Winsader's worries and said:

"This method also needs to be combined with an ancient elven incantation, so there is no need for Your Excellency to worry."

Winsader regained her composure and said slowly:

"Okay, you are qualified.

Mr. Gavin, there is no need to test the remaining adventurer groups, just this one.

In addition, I have something to talk to this group leader about."

Ifero immediately nodded and said:

"Okay, Your Excellency, I will now arrange the departure matters, we will depart tonight."

The reason for choosing the night is because the Nightmare Mist of the "Starfall Valley" is the weakest at night.

Ifero took people out, leaving the space for Winsader and Cohen.

Winsader raised her beautiful eyes, her eyes fell on Cohen, and she beckoned to him:

"Come here, talk to me, Special Envoy."

Cohen's face darkened, big sister, are you very familiar with me?

He couldn't help but have a trace of understanding of Winsader's unreliability.
