I'm not that kind of orc

"It is necessary... to contact Saidian. Since this matter is related to Saidian and the previous incident, we have reason to send someone to assist in the investigation." Princess Alyssa said.

"But I'm afraid we can't wait here. Now that we have a clue, the most important thing is to confirm the victim's condition. If there are still survivors, we have to hurry up and organize a rescue." Arsena folded her arms , "We still don't know the purpose of their kidnapping."

"Didn't you just say that to provoke conflict?" Angelica, who had been nibbling on the biscuits on the table, said in a low voice.

"No, they are indeed deliberately provoking conflicts between the orcs and the local villagers, but this should be just incidental, and they definitely have other purposes for arresting people." Arsena shook her head and denied, "The orc tribe moved to our village. It's less than two weeks in the territory of China, but the disappearances happened as early as two months ago. And, to be honest, I always have a feeling..." She frowned as she said, "This series of disappearances, There is a little bit of a feeling against me, when I was still in the capital, the disappearance case appeared in the area near the capital, now that I have been enfeoffed, the incident has moved to my territory."

From what she said, it seemed that she really felt this way.

"Alsena, haven't you been targeted once before? That sword..." Angelica interjected lightly.

We all froze for a moment.

"As for that matter, there is a conclusion for the time being. The biggest suspect, the former prime minister of Jaron, has defected... Wait!" Arsena was talking halfway, when she suddenly realized something, "The elves who were exiled to the north ...and those members of the Bandit Group, who were able to go to Helgia's territory to operate, and even organize such a big event... Without the help of Helgia's internal forces, it should be impossible to do it! "

We looked at each other in silence.

So many events we have experienced are being connected little by little, and a kind of uneasiness is swelling in the air.We all have a faint feeling that there is an unknown conspiracy slowly unfolding in a place we don't know, as if in the wilderness where you can't see your fingers, there are wild beasts sharpening their minions not far away, waiting for an opportunity to pounce on them and bite their own throats.

But I soon came to my senses and grasped the most critical point in time: "Okay, it's not that complicated. We don't have a clue yet. The most important thing we need to do right now is to solve these disappearance cases." , it is important to save people!"

You provoked the wrong opponent (5)

?

"Indeed! We still have to do what we need to do first." After being reminded by me, Arsena followed suit, but she frowned again, "But, what should we do? Those people we caught , It’s just a bunch of hired bastards, they don’t have key information on the whereabouts of the victims, and they are just discarded children that can be thrown away at any time for the mastermind behind the scenes.”

"About this, I actually have an idea." I said.

"You don't want to talk about fighting with bait again, do you?" Arsena looked at me tentatively.

"That's right, it's here who pretends to be a kidnapped victim to follow the clues to find the mastermind behind the scenes." I punched my palm eagerly, "According to the miscellaneous fish we caught, they and other people operating in the nearby area They only get in touch with the other party when they regularly hand in people and report, I think the bastard behind the scenes should not know that we caught them, as long as these people are forced to cooperate, there will be no problem."

"It's too risky!" Princess Alisa objected with a worried face. "Going deep into the enemy's nest by myself is completely different from the danger of using bait to catch the enemy!"

"It's okay, I'm used to dangerous things, this level doesn't make me afraid." I waved my hand.

"According to this... You don't mean to go in person, do you?" Arsena frowned slightly.

"Of course, since I proposed it, of course I have to do it!" I pointed my thumb to my chest without hesitation.

As a result, everyone present focused their eyes on me with a speechless face.

"Mr. Bullock, you are here again...do you really have no self-knowledge?" Arsena sighed helplessly.

"Are you an idiot?" Feilan directly turned on the taunting mode, and raised her hand to poke at Angelica beside her, "Those trash thieves can't even beat this girl with their magic tools, tie a town guard Or the militiamen are already exhausted, and if you tie a muscular monster like you, the other party will be surprised if they don't get suspicious!"

"Don't make it sound like I'm weak... You obviously can't beat me." Angelika complained about her expressionlessly.

"Student Bullock, I also think this is inappropriate." Princess Alisa carefully expressed her opinion. "Judging from the magic props that those people hold that can create illusions and enchantments, the person instigating them should be a person who is very proficient in spells. Although Brock has learned a little spells, it shouldn't be a big deal in such a short time. Be thorough. If you rush into the enemy's territory rashly, you may suffer a loss."

"That's right, most mages are very good at arranging all kinds of magical weapons, magic circles, summons, and familiars in their own territory. They have a great advantage in fighting positional warfare in their own territory." Feilan also embraced Started to speak, "For example, a spider sits in its own web, even if an insect several times larger than itself breaks in, it can kill the opponent and eat it. You are so reckless, be careful to be blown up by a magic trap There is not even a single bone left, don't underestimate the Master!"

They have a point.

I recalled the disadvantages I suffered because I didn't know much about black magic curses when I was fighting the Demon Sword Spirit.

The reason why those miscellaneous fish thieves were able to kidnap even the guards and militiamen who went to investigate their towns was because of the magic tools that could create illusions.It is conceivable that the behind-the-scenes mastermind who provided them with magic tools should have some more powerful means to deal with such an opponent...

"Indeed, it's impossible to handle this case without a mage who is proficient in magic." I rubbed my chin and pondered.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Feilan raising her head with joy.

Then I continued: "...It would be great if Roland was here."

"Hi!" Feilan yelled out immediately.

"Why?" I glanced at her.

"You... did it on purpose?" She glared at me with a face of embarrassment.

I was silent for a while, and replied: "I didn't deliberately ignore you, but I thought you might really be incompetent. Your spell level is indeed good, but you're just a little stupid... Cough, I mean lack of combat experience, so there are so many There is a lack of flexibility."

"You called me stupid just now, didn't you! I've heard it!" Feilan frowned all of a sudden.

"Okay, okay, think about it yourself, you should have messed up a lot, right?" I raised my hands, and I simply pointed out the words, "Either you are acting willfully without consideration, or ... I'm not saying that you don't have the courage to stand up, but it's easy for you to shrink your eggs at critical moments, and it's really easy to cause accidents when you act like this."

"I, I!" Feilan blushed and held back for a long time, but she still couldn't utter a rebuttal.

"Don't bully my sister too much, she has also grown a lot, and she is already a mage who can stand on her own."

A familiar voice suddenly sounded in my head.

Um?This voice is...

Feilan, who was sitting on the bench, seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly stood up and looked at the large open window of the study.

We followed her to see the past.

An owl sat quietly on the windowsill.

We've all noticed that jewel hanging from the owl's body.

"Roland?" Feilan asked, blinking her eyes.

The owl suddenly flapped its wings and flew into the room, resting on the tea table, facing Feilan, the voice sounded in our minds again: "Miss me, my good sister?"

"Who misses you? I'm so happy that I won't see your face for a few days!" Feilan turned her face away angrily.

I realized that this owl is a familiar raised by Roland, and she is attaching her spirit to it.

"Dean?" Princess Alisa asked in surprise, and the others followed suit.

"Anyway, Brock misses me, but I can hear it clearly." The owl turned towards me, and the familiar voice sounded full of teasing.

"I said you haven't been using this owl to spy on our situation these days, have you?" I looked at the owl's big eyes speechlessly.

To be honest, I was a little bit mentally prepared for this kind of thing, so I wasn't too surprised that she appeared here.

"It seems that you are in a bottleneck, do you want to listen to the teacher's opinion?" Roland said.

"Okay, what's your opinion?" I asked her, raising my eyebrows.

"I think what you said is that the operation of pretending to be a victim and approaching the mastermind behind the scenes is actually feasible. Although there are a few minor problems, they are all easy to solve. It is true that directly asking you to be a hostage will arouse the other party's wariness. Speaking from the past, as long as the opponent's vigilance is completely eliminated, you can take the upper hand at any time."

"What should I do? Do you have a solution?" I asked nervously.

Listening to this voice, her malicious smile really couldn't help appearing in my mind.

"Yes." The owl said and turned to Feilan, and the voice became more meaningful, "I don't think ordinary people should be wary of innocent children, right?"

Feilan blinked her eyes a few times, then her face suddenly changed.

Back to childhood together (1)

In the early hours of the morning, we gathered in an empty hall of Alsena Castle.

"I can draw it like this, right?" After drawing the magic circle with the paint mixed with the spell-casting materials collected by Arsena according to the pattern provided by Roland, I squatted on the ground and looked up to confirm with Roland.

Roland's projection stood next to me, looked carefully at the magic circle on the ground, and nodded with a smile: "Well, very good, just turn around and activate the magic circle."

"Then the only problem left is the target of the spell." I said, and Roland and I turned our eyes to the opposite side of the magic circle.

"Stop! I don't want it! Why do you have to ask me to come? Let me go!" Feilan, who had been put on her arms by Princess Alisa and the werewolf Angelica, was struggling desperately there.

"To infiltrate the enemy mage's position, you must have an expert who is proficient in magic. And after infiltrating, you may need to undo the spell and return to the original action. Only you, Feilan, can do this. It's here!" Princess Alisa reasoned to persuade, but her eyes were shining with anticipation that couldn't be hidden.

"This is all to save people! I can only wrong you first!" Angelika in the werewolf state spoke the truth in a flat tone, but her eyes were as bright as Princess Alisa's.

"You two with bright eyes are not convincing at all, are you? You must be selfish!" Feilan struggled to drag her footsteps, but she still couldn't resist the strength of the two of them and was led forward.

"Don't lose your temper, Feilan, I made chocolate and I'll give it to you later." Princess Alyssa's smile was shining with the brilliance of motherhood.

"There are toys here." Angelica took out an exquisite puppet from nowhere.

"I haven't become like that yet! You two really want to play with me like before? Don't remind me of that time, you bastard!" Feilan blushed because of the memory of her shame. The face gritted its teeth.

"Huh? Did this happen before?" Arsena at the side noticed something, "Seriously, did I miss something interesting when I wasn't in the academy?"

"Okay, my good sister, this is a great opportunity for you to stand out!" Roland smiled and stared at Feilan, who had exploded hair, "Didn't I ask the familiar to bring you a phantom feather coat that can change with your body shape?" ? You don't have to worry about happy together at all."

"It's not that problem at all, okay!?" Feilan glared at her own sister, "Damn it! You've been planning how to plot against me a long time ago, haven't you?"

"It's so sad not to understand your sister's good intentions but to speak harshly." Roland stroked his cheek and smiled meaningfully.

But no matter what, this mission right now really requires the participation of this golden-haired girl. Although she has many unstable elements, if you think about it carefully... she is indeed the only candidate at the moment.

No way, try to give her a hug.

"I apologize to you for what happened just now. In fact, you are quite reliable sometimes. Please, this matter really can't be done without you." I tried to persuade Feilan.

"Hmph, since you've begged me so much, there's nothing you can do—do you think I'll say that!? Do you really think that I'm easy to fool you, bastard! Other methods are fine, this This method is absolutely! Yes! No! Yes!" The girl was surprised that she couldn't eat the oil and rice.

Why did he become so clever at such a time?

She is extremely resistant to accepting the spell to make her smaller, so what should she do now?

At this time Arsena stepped forward suddenly, stood in front of Feilan who was being supported by Princess Alisa and Angelica, and looked down at her face seriously at close range.

As an elf, Feilan was already quite tall, but standing in front of Arsena still seemed a bit dwarfed by comparison.For a moment, she shrank her shoulders in fright from Arsena's imposing manner and staring eyes, but immediately frowned: "Why? You still want to be tough?"

But then, Arsena half-kneeled in front of her and lowered her head, the height difference was instantly reversed.

"Eh?" Feilan was stunned.

Arsena spoke solemnly: "Miss Feilan, my people may be suffering. Among the victims... there are some children. It should be my responsibility to rescue them. Tomorrow is the date for their handover. I must catch them. Take this chance. I know this is a difficult thing to do, but we really need your help. I am willing to pay whatever reward you want, I only beg you, help us, save my people !"

Even I was stunned to watch.

This girl looks so handsome...

Speaking of this scene, why does it look so similar to what I saw in human books before... a marriage proposal?

"I, I..." Feilan opened and closed her mouth a few times, and finally turned her face away as if she couldn't bear it anymore, "I see! Can't I help you! Get up, Miss Ben, tsk, it seems like I'm like a villain..."

"Thank you very much!" Arsena thanked sincerely, lowering her head.

"They say they're getting up soon!" Feilan was so anxious that she almost kicked her.

Five minutes later, Feilan changed into the Roland's special clothes and came back, and stood in the center of the circle with a face of reluctance.

"Hey!" She stared at Roland, "Are you sure the magic circle has been improved? Even if I get smaller, I can still maintain my current mentality, right?"

"Well, of course." Roland smiled maliciously and nodded at her.
