"Have you ever thought that if I see you like this, I might get angry. After all, killing a third-ranked competitor will benefit me a lot?" Allen said suddenly.
Lucy thought for a while, then smiled and said, "I really haven't thought about it."
"That's it, that's why you came here according to our original agreement. You subconsciously chose to trust me, so I won't give up on you either!" Allen turned his head, and the sun fell softly on his side face . Even though his face was stained with blood, this face was not ferocious in the slightest, but had a kind of trustworthy peace of mind.
With a grin, Allen waved his hand and turned away. He jumped up the hill and disappeared from Lucy's eyes.
Lucy frowned, and a blush flashed across her pale little face. She smirked. "Won't give up on you? Hey, that sounds awesome."
"Okay, then I have to be obedient. Find a place to hide first, at least, so that no one can kill it." Lucy stood up while supporting the tree trunk.
The poison in her was not too violent, and she suppressed it with her own power. Although his physical fitness has been compromised because of this, it is not so serious that he cannot move. Just walking, the steps are inevitably a bit vain.
After moving a few steps forward, a gust of mountain wind blew past Lucy. The girl's eyes suddenly lit up sharply, the pistol bounced, and she quickly swung it back. Pointing at the gun, a figure swayed out.
"Your Highness is me!" A wide palm pressed down on the muzzle of the gun. The owner of the hand was a mighty old man with white beard and hair.
The tower-like body is cast like steel, and even the skin has a metallic luster under the sun. The old man was wearing a black jacket, brown leather-colored armor, and two crossed two-handed broadswords on his back. On the sword gap of the broad sword, each is engraved with a single wing that opens in opposite directions.
"Teacher?" Lucy suddenly looked embarrassed, and said falteringly, "How did you find me?"
"Your Highness, you are so nonsense. You actually came to participate in some kind of death ring in the Federation, and even bribed officials to impersonate a child. If your father finds out, he will be furious." The old man shook his head.
Lucy snorted through her nostrils: "Father doesn't have time to pay attention to me."
"Your Highness, you are his favorite person." The old man frowned.
Lucy wrinkled her nose: "He loves those women, not me."
"But he gave you all the golden roses."
"That's because I'm the only one who can drive Golden Rose." Lucy said forcefully, but at the end of her sentence, she coughed violently.
The old man's eyes lit up, and became brighter and brighter, as if silvery white flames spewed out from his eyes. He lost his voice: "Your Highness, are you poisoned?"
Then without any explanation, he grabbed one of Lucy's arms and spread her palms. The old man stretched out a finger, and the silver-white flame of origin force spewed out from the fingertip. The flame condensed to form a tiny silver needle. The old man gently stuck the silver needle into Lucy's palm, and immediately a silver pattern spread from the palm like a loop, and flowed through the whole body in an instant.
"Fortunately, it's not something powerful." The old man took back the source needle, and took out a box from the inside of the leather armor instead. The box was opened, and an injection was taken out from inside. The injection contained blue liquid, and the old man stuck the needle into Lucy's arm, and then squeezed all the antidote into it.
After a while, the paleness on Lucy's face faded away
, There was a trace of blood on the small face.
"Okay, within an hour at most, the toxins in His Highness's body will be completely eliminated. But you have to tell me who is so bold as to dare to poison you!" The old man's tone was already a little more murderous.
Lucy spread her hands and said, "That's a question I don't know, I don't know who did it."
"In that case, please come with me, Your Highness." The old man frowned, and said, "Your Highness is responsible for His Highness's safety, and His Highness really cannot be allowed to continue this nonsense."
"Okay, okay." Lucy blinked her eyes, shook her hands around the old man and said, "Teacher, I promise to go back with you. But, you have to give me some more time."
"Your Highness!" The old man raised his voice a little, his eyes wide open, not angry but mighty.
"Anyway, I can't go back with you now." Lucy said with her arms akimbo.
The old man had a headache and said, "Why?"
"Because I promised a person, I want to wait for him to come back."
"That brat?" The old man shook his head and said, "Your Highness, that's just a kid from the survivors on the surface. How can you let you take risks with a body of gold."
"Marquis Metalon, I've made up my mind!" Lucy said in an irrefutable tone, "In short, after the death ring is over, I'll go back with you."
The old man's expression froze, and Lucy changed her title from teacher to title, showing another identity to show her position. He could only smile wryly and said: "Well, since His Highness has made up his mind, then the servants only have to accompany him to protect him."
He added: "Your Highness, this is the first time you have called a subject by his name directly. Is that kid really that important to you?"
Lucy apologized: "I'm sorry, teacher. It's just that that person is my friend. Moreover, he is a person worthy of my expectation."
"Someone worth looking forward to?" Metalon said, "Okay then, Your Highness. I'll keep my eyes open and take a good look at what this kid is worth looking forward to."
Allen suddenly felt chills.
He mechanically lowered his body, hid behind a bush, and carefully swept around. Just now, he had the feeling of being targeted by a wolf, which made the hair on the back of his neck stand on end. But the surrounding woodland is very quiet, except for the occasional wind blowing, and a few leaves falling.
Is it an illusion? He thought, shook his head, and Allen stood up again.
He is moving towards the forest to the northwest.
The two directions in the southeast are plains, and there is nothing to cover them. If someone wanted to hang on to Lucy to take advantage of it, he would definitely not choose such an open place that is easy to be found. Then, Lin Hai, which moves obliquely from the north to the west, is undoubtedly the best choice. As for the range, it won't be too large. According to Lucy's estimate of the poisoning time, the limit distance of the poisoned person will not exceed 30 kilometers.
Once this distance is exceeded, it is difficult for Allen to imagine how the other party will get to Lucy's hiding place in only 15 hours. In fact, this distance will be even shorter. In this way, the difficulty of Allen's search has been greatly reduced.
He hid the tactical long knife in the bushes, while he climbed up the tall tree in front of him. When he got out of the canopy, Allen saw a sea of forest. In the east, the sun is shining brightly. As for the forest belt extending to the north, waves of leaves are blown up by the wind. The forest looked very calm. Allen was just about to drill back, and suddenly there were birds flying about a kilometer away from the northwest.
soaring.
Allen immediately slid down from the tree, picked up the tactical long knife, and dived in the direction where the bird appeared.
There must be human activity there, which will startle the forest birds. Regardless of whether it was the poisoner or not, since the traces of activity are so close, it must be confirmed and cleared if necessary.
The distance of a kilometer is only 5 minutes at Allen's feet. As he approached his destination, he heard a girl's exclamation. Allen stopped immediately and climbed up the canopy of an old tree nearby. As soon as he hid it with forest leaves, he saw a girl running towards him. Suddenly a javelin was thrown and stuck in front of her. The girl stopped and swished, three more javelins fell, blocking her retreat.
The girl under the tree is Emily.
Emily turned her back to Alan, which prevented Alan from seeing the girl's expression. But judging from her rapid breathing, the girl was very nervous. Not far from a camphor tree, two teenagers came out. Walking in front was a boy with light brown curly hair and freckles on his still childish face. Holding a javelin in his hand, it seemed that he was the one who blocked Emily's retreat just now.
Another tall black teenager with short blonde hair and a lip ring around his mouth was looking at Emily with a mischievous expression.
Allen quickly recalled their information in his mind. The boy with the javelin was Rafi, and the other black man was Canon. The strength of these two people is only at the middle level. In Alan's eyes, they have a source of light like morning mist. Inside its body, there are four points of light shining.
Allen now knows that not everyone's source of light can be observed. Like Hughton, Alan can only see it when he uses his source power, unlike Second Lieutenant Ron and others, the source of light on his body is clearly visible. In the case of visibility, the strength of the light is usually directly linked to the level of the source power, so for a young man like Lafite who only has four source power vortexes, the source of light is neither bright nor clear.
Of course, Allen is not much better than them.
Alan asked himself that he was still sure to deal with the two fourth-level power users. After all, Joe and Hera were no weaker than the two in front of him, so he hid his body with his breath held and waited and watched.
"Okay, Emily. You can't escape. I guess, you want to join Lucy so that you can get her shelter again?" the black boy Canon said in an ugly tone.
Lafite twirled the javelin lightly, and said in a cold voice: "Tell us the location of Lucy, or you can tell us after being tortured by Canon. But I believe that it must be an unpleasant experience."
"Are you going to trouble Lucy?" Emily's voice was charming, but her hand behind her back quietly slipped a dagger out of her sleeve.
Of course, Lafite and Canon definitely didn't know about it. Allen could see clearly, his eyes fell on the dagger, and Allen looked at Emily with two more guarded eyes.
"I can tell you where she is, and I can assure you that you can easily deal with her." Emily said in a delicate voice, "She should be in danger now. If you take action, she has no room to resist."
"Oh, why?" Lafite frowned: "She's a top-ranked player, I don't think she's that easy to deal with."
"No matter how difficult a person is to deal with, if he is poisoned, he has nothing to fear." Emily said surprisingly.
