"Thank you," When only Margery and Nightingale were left, Lei Ting put away his disguised smile and said sincerely to Roland, "Seeing her current appearance, I feel that the original choice was the right one. The days are up to you too."
"She's grown up..." Margery also sighed, "The serious big kiss just now made people want to hug them into my arms and love them."
Hey, are you speaking your mind, Roland thought to himself. "But she hasn't given up on her adventure. Even here, Lightning has formed her own expedition team, although there are only three members. Unless you lock her up, she will catch up with you one day."
"If it's unavoidable, it's also her fate," Lei Ting smiled bitterly, "but at least not now. Before that day comes, I hope she can spend it safely."
However, the Battle of Divine Will is within easy reach of everyone, and even if it is far away from the sea, it is not necessarily safe. This is especially true of Neverwinter City, which is a bridgehead. Once this place falls, the existence of mankind will be in vain. It's just that Roland didn't say these words. Revealing the will of God is the most magnificent adventure for Lightning, and she will never stop halfway. Since she couldn't quit, speaking out would only increase the other party's worries.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of her," he finally patted Lei Ting's shoulder and said slowly.
…
"What did he say?" Lorgar put Maisie in his arms back on top of Lightning's head, "Is your father missing?"
The little girl shook her head, "As I expected, there is no news at all. But don't worry, it's more interesting to do this kind of thing yourself and rely on the strength of our expedition team!"
"Agree!" Maisie fluttered her wings.
"By the way, is Mystery Moon coming?"
"I didn't see it."
"What," Lightning pouted, "I used to look confident, but now I don't even dare to show my face?"
"Speaking of which... what exactly is she trying to challenge us?" Lorgar asked curiously.
"I don't know Goo."
"What?"
"Since it is a challenge, no matter what the content of the competition is, the expedition team will not refuse," Lightning said proudly.
"That's right!" Maisie also raised her head.
"Ha..." Princess Kuangyan weakly supported her forehead. What kind of organization was she joining
"Sorry, I'm late." At this moment, Miyue's voice came from behind the three. Lorgar turned around and saw Miyue trotting along with Lily's hand, followed by A-Xia and Sharon.
"I thought you didn't dare to come when you boasted about Haikou," Lightning hugged her chest.
"How come," Riddle shouted, "it just took some time to investigate the matter, which is also the necessary measures to challenge the smooth progress."
"Okay," she shrugged nonchalantly, "then you can talk about the content of the competition now."
"Of course, but before that, I'd like to introduce my team." Mystery Moon opened her arms and pushed the other three in front of Lightning, "Starting today, the Neverwinter Detective Team is officially established, and this is my new Recruited members!"
"Eh?"
"Detective... regiment?"
"What is that goo?"
"No, I am not!"
Hearing this sentence, the expressions of the witches were different. Lorgar, Maisie, and the others were confused, A-Xia and Sharon were puzzled, and Lily shouted angrily.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty said it!" Miyue explained quickly, "Sister Wendy told me that the last time we went to the college district to find the mystery of the arson case was known by His Majesty, and then he mentioned this name. , probably taken from the meaning of investigating the unknown and seeking the truth. Not only that, he also gave me a special title alone."
"Really?" Lightning asked suspiciously.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Ms. Wendy. It seems to be called a drum... a drum washing machine," Miyue touched the back of her head, "but she doesn't know what it means."
"Exploring the truth of the crime..." Sharon pondered for a moment, "If it can help the security of Neverwinter City, then I am willing to join."
"I can too..." A-Xia pointed to herself, "Miss Nightingale said, I'm already a member of the Security Bureau."
"No problem," Miyue gave a thumbs up, "Don't Lightning often have to undertake the reconnaissance mission of the First Army? As long as we give priority to fulfilling His Majesty's orders."
"Sorry, please don't include me." Lily rolled her eyes, "There are still many samples in the laboratory waiting for me to record, and the mushroom plantation has to be doubled. I really don't have time to accompany you this time. It's no use calling me a traitor!"
"traitor!"
"you"
"Wait, I was wrong, you listen to me first," Miyue begged, "This time it's definitely not a mess. You should all know that His Majesty has received a group of guests from the fjord, right?"
"Nonsense," Lily said impatiently, "who do you think this welcome dinner is for?"
"But there's a witch among them, and that's what I'm talking about," she continued. "I was in the port checking the lighting..."
"It's just wandering aimlessly. They don't turn on the lights during the day, okay?"
"Cough cough, then I noticed the other party," Mystery Moon forcibly ignored the other party's demolition, "I heard that these Fjord people will stay in Neverwinter for several months, I think it will naturally include the witch. , so the content of this competition project is her."
"Oh?" Lightning became interested, "Better than what?"
"Who can pull her into the team first!" Miyue said solemnly, "There are now four detectives in the team, which is the largest team in the Witch League, but considering that you guys were established earlier, it is counted as equals. The winner of this competition will decide which side is the strongest!"
"Pfft," Lorgar almost bit his tongue, so the way to challenge is to win over a strange witch faster than anyone? Even if you don't have to make it as serious as a sacred duel, you can't be so reckless!
To her surprise, both Lightning and Maisie showed serious expressions, especially the latter, whose high tail meant that the other party had entered a state of "combat preparation".
Is it too late to quit now... The three princesses thought with tears in their eyes.
"Although I don't agree that the number of people can measure the strength of a team, we have accepted this challenge!" Lightning patted his chest and said.
"Cuckoo!"
"Don't think it's an easy task," Miyue shook out a finger, "First of all, the witch named Joan can hardly speak, and it is difficult to communicate with people normally; secondly, she is not familiar with strangers. People have great vigilance and fear, similar to us when they were hunted down by the church, so this competition will be a long process. As for the judgment standard, it depends on which side she is more willing to act with, how?"
"I have no opinion." Lightning nodded.
"Wait... I have a problem." Lorgar tried to make a final resistance, "If I heard correctly, even if she will stay here for a few months, she will have to leave sooner or later. Then whether she chooses to join A detective team or an expedition team, doesn't it make sense?"
"Of course not," Miyue said seriously, "if we can get her out of the shadows of the past and become cheerful again, then everything we do will not be in vain. Maybe for ordinary people, this is nothing at all. But for her, it will be a light that shines into the darkness and that's what His Majesty Roland has done from the very beginning."
In an instant, Lorgar felt her heart skip a beat, perhaps these people were not as childish as she imagined.
"Wait, where did you learn this?" Lily suddenly frowned.
"Uh..." Mystery Moon froze for a while.
"Could it be?" She glanced at the other party, and then at A-Xia, her face changed drastically, "Did you let A-Xia use the retrospective ability to eavesdrop on His Majesty's conversation?"
"No, no!" Miyue hurriedly defended, "We just restored the scene of the lower seaport. Those words were said by His Majesty in front of everyone, and absolutely did not involve confidential content!" She was a little uncomfortable when she said this. He glanced at Lightning at ease, "I promise in the name of electromagnetic power!"
"You've gone too far this time, I'm going to tell Sister Wendy!"
"No betrayal, I swear there will never be a second time!"
"I do not believe!"
"real!"
"You lie to me every time!"
"If I lie to you again, I won't have any Chaos drink, don't leave!"
Just as the detective team was in civil strife, Maisie suddenly rose into the air and flew towards the corner of the hall.
Except for the lightning, only Lorgar noticed this scene.
She saw the pigeon swept across the hall, landed in front of a round table, picked up a piece of roast meat, and then jumped on a woman's shoulder.
The latter seemed a little panicked at first, but was quickly attracted to the other party's attention. Not only that, but she also accepted the roast meat from the pigeon.
The wolf girl raised her ears and pointed it in Maisie's direction.
After a while, she caught the conversation between the two.
But it was undoubtedly an incomprehensible dialogue
"Goo."
"Acridine."
"Cuckoo!"
"Yaya."
"… "
Half an hour later, Maisie rose into the air and returned to the top of Lightning's head.
"She promised to join the expedition, goo!" she announced triumphantly.
