The cold-faced earl doesn't want to trigger the plot

And perhaps it was precisely because the blond girl's mood was as gentle as her expression now, that's why she rarely returned a few words from Egyed who had been chattering in her ear.

"This rescue plan, the Adventurer's Guild is also the formulation and participation party."

A short sentence made Egyed, who was hyping up the Adventurer's Guild, a little dumbfounded.

"Also, the plan itself is not as unbearable as you said."

The blond girl said calmly,

"We are very familiar with this 'incubator'. We know its general orientation, know its defensive strength, and know that it is in its infancy, and many parts are not perfect."

As the blond girl spoke, she gestured slightly in one direction.

As for Aegyde, looking along, what he saw was a huge mansion on the hill, which was gorgeous and brightly lit like a palace.

"We've picked days when they're going to be short-staffed, and now someone has got hold of those who are really behind the scenes."

After listening to the blonde girl's words, Egged, whose inner anger subsided a little, thought carefully, and found that there were indeed many traces to follow.

For example, the trouble here has become like this, but the reinforcements from the secret base have never arrived.Let everyone evacuate in an orderly manner.

For another example, the responders from the Church and the Adventurer's Guild were able to rush to Zhou's side immediately after the blond girl made a fuss, accurately and in time.It proves that they are not blind, they just don't have the most accurate target location.

And, indeed, as the blonde girl said, the defense force of the secret base is full of loopholes.Even the intruder, the blond girl, seemed to know the environment inside better than the people in the secret base.

but...

"But yes! I still can't agree with the reality that you are the only one in danger in all the plans. It doesn't mean that the plan is successful, but it doesn't mean that the plan itself has no problems. In any case, a girl should not be allowed to Carrying everything. Concentrating all dangers, risks, expectations, etc. on one person, that kind of 'trust' is distorted."

Aiged, who was a little misfired before, began to speak righteously again.

"is it?"

And the blond girl just responded lightly, then turned her face away and didn't make any response.

Just when Eggyde was still chattering and regained his strength, he changed his angle and continued to persuade on behalf of the Adventurer's Guild, such a voice suddenly came out from the surrounding crowd.

"What is that? Meteor?"

"Where? It seems to be. Wait! Is that thing hitting us?"

The sudden noisy sound made the blond girl and Egged also look at the sky.

And looking at the small "meteorite" that was really dragging its long white tail in the air and falling straight towards their direction, panic gradually appeared on the face of the blond girl who had kept calm all this time. look.

"This thing seems to be able to kill me..."

The last thing the blond girl heard were Aegide's words that sounded like a dream.

next moment.

boom!

Meteors fall.

The forest at night became like a lake where boulders were thrown into it, violently turbulent.

...

...

After a moment of loss of consciousness.

What the blond girl felt was a shaking vision and severe tinnitus.

Some chaotic consciousness made her almost think that she came to another world.

Because, the place that was still full of trees before has turned into a barren open space at this time.

In the center of the open space, someone was stretching his waist with a cheerful face, his hands raised high.

The instigator of all this seemed completely oblivious to the enormous damage his actions had caused.

Just like, many human beings who were blown out of the open space and fell everywhere like pieces of rags, life and death unknown, are the natural background decorations.

Re-stabilizing her slightly shaky figure, the blond girl looked at the falling "Meteor" and said the other's name with slightly trembling lips.

"Lake light..."

"It's Huguang, Da, man! Isn't that right? Little Claire. Or, now that the name has been changed, it should be called Little Merian, Little Meimei~?"

Hearing Huguang's words, Merian's expression inevitably became vicious.

"Although, I originally wanted you to call me 'Sister Huguang'. Because, I used to be the third seat in the council, and you would have been the No.17 seat. Hmm... Originally~ What a pity— —'Madam' and Xiao Kankan are probably still very sad now! After all, they would never have imagined that you would betray you. So..."

During the speech, Hu Guang just took a step forward.

But Merian flew into the air like a frightened bird, completely distanced herself from her opponent.

"Why exactly?"

Between Hu Guang's words, her figure became unreal.At the same time, a group of gel-like objects bulged behind her.

"how did you find me?"

Merian was in the air, questioning with a tense expression.

"Isn't it your turn to ask questions? You have to follow the order. But even if you follow it, it's pointless. Because, I wouldn't be kind enough to tell you."

Between the words, Hu Guang, who had always been smiling brightly, suddenly froze,

"Oh! So that's the case. You also want to express, you won't tell me kindly, will you? It's really annoying, little Merian..."

Saying that, a smile appeared on Hu Guang's face again,

"So, die."

Suddenly, from the group behind Huguang, more than a dozen tentacle-like things stretched out, chasing and beating Merian.

Seeing Merian swiftly dodging his attack in the sky, Hu Guang not only didn't feel troubled, but showed a more cheerful expression.

"Keep going! Jump up jump up jump up jump up!"

As if playing with Merian, after laughing and attacking the opponent for a while, Huguang's face froze suddenly again, and the attacks of the tentacles stopped abruptly, as if time had stopped suddenly.

"Why, don't you run away? Little Merian. If you don't run away, won't I be unable to chase you? It took me so long to find you, and you should spend enough time with me."

The lake light, displaying its own innocence and moodiness, began to look around, and then knocked its hands,

"So that's it! Are you worried about these people around you? I'm afraid that after you escape, my 'activation' will affect them all."

Hu Guang smiled meaningfully,

"It seems to have become quite gentle, little 'Cang Yan'. The guys who were burned to ashes by you, seeing you now, should all shed tears of joy at finally seeing their children grow up!"

"!"

Merian's lips moved slightly in mid-air.

She really wanted to speak out to stop Huguang.But he knew that if she spoke out, it would confirm Hu Guang's guess.And the more she showed concern for the people around her, the more Hu Guang would deliberately kill them.

No one will really treat Hu Guang, who always calls herself "the eternal girl", as a real girl.

In Merian's eyes, Huguang has always been full of malice, like a natural disaster.

"Even as a hostage, you don't need so many. Why don't you just kill half of them?"

Hearing Huguang's words, Merian's heart sank.

Because, Huguang never said anything similar to threats.Huguang's words often express her momentary thoughts directly, and she often acts directly in accordance with those momentary thoughts.

A tentacle stretched out from a group behind the lake light, and directly stabbed a young girl who fell to the edge of the open space due to the impact of the lake light falling.

However, before the tentacle touched the girl, the black shadow that rushed out from the side was completely pierced by the sharp blade-like tentacle first.

"Well, what is this? Likes and dislikes..."

Hu Guang frowned slightly, and retracted the tentacles, which were covered with bright red blood.

And what fell on the open space was a corpse whose heart had been completely pierced.

Like Huguang, Merian didn't realize what happened suddenly without the first instant.And with some belated awareness, she saw that the one who fell down was the somewhat wordy adventurer, Aiged.

For a moment, Merian felt that her thoughts were a little confused.

It wasn't her joint actions with Aiged these days that made her regard this adventurer as a companion.

Rather, Egged, who had shown all kinds of miracles of immortality, really died so abruptly this time?

In Merian's mind, some words of Egged appeared.

He said that the kidnappers couldn't kill him anyway, so he stayed alive.

But this time, before the light of the lake came, Egged said something like a prophecy that he could be killed by the light of the lake.

so...

Merian vaguely realized that Aeged might really have passed away.But she didn't have time to feel sad about it.

Because, after Huguang's tentacles shook off Aegide's blood, they started looking for the target to kill again.

No particular reason either.

For Huguang, killing others is just a kind of fun, or a way to make the fun he thinks more interesting.

Therefore, Merian knew that the way to stop her, the way to escape from her again, was to try her best to defeat her.

Fortunately, Merian is not without support.

Since she left the Church of Scourge, her power of illusion has reached a new stage.

Huguang would not know such a thing.

Then, Hu Guang's carelessness and confidence are her biggest flaws.It is also Merian's only chance of victory.

Below, Hu Guang, who was about to kill several people one after another with his tentacles, suddenly noticed something strange in the sky.

"Oh? Something interesting, little Merian."

I saw that Merian, who tried her best to raise her head, was gathering a fireball condensed with the power of blue flames in front of her mouth.In an instant, the size of the fireball expanded to the size of an ordinary person's head.

"No, this level is only enough to set off a firework."

Only when I think of new interesting things, will I stop my last "whimsical" lake view, and look up at Merian who is doing her best with my chest in my arms. I don't care at all, but start to act like a comment.

During the speech, Merian's blue flame fireball swelled several times, and it was already enough to accommodate one person.

"That's the way to go. I feel a little heat, little Merian."

Hu Guang still waited with a smile on his face.

Before, the power that Merian used to blast open the barrier of the light curtain was only the size of a fist when gathered into a fireball.

And even though the gathering of blue fireballs is already exuding the breath of death, Huguang is still able to do a job with ease.

Until, the next moment.

At that moment, Merian's body glowed.Then, her whole body turned into the shape of a bird, completely transformed into the legendary phantom beast, the phoenix.

It was also at that moment that the blue fireball she gathered increased by nearly ten times again, and then smashed straight down towards the lake below.

"...what!"

Still looking up at the lake light in the sky, it seemed that he didn't react at all.

The next moment, a large amount of condensed flames exploded centered on the lake light.

The soaring blue color was mixed with the mournful cry from the lake light.

...

"I don't know who is stupid..."

In mid-air, Merian could only encourage herself not to fall, and Merian, whose appearance was completely like a big bird, whispered as if she had let out a bad breath.

Since her mouth had also turned into a bird's beak, her voice sounded a bit weird.

"It's not me after all, is it?"

The sudden sound of the lake light almost made Merian's heart stop beating.However, after looking around, Merian felt relieved.

Because, the condition of Hu Guang baptized by the blue flames is also very miserable, it is almost difficult to maintain a human form.
