A glorious pastor.
“How boring!”
Stefanie curled her lips and suddenly looked at the last member of the team: "By the way, Novia, I heard that you have a younger brother in Norma City? Is he handsome?"
The wind was howling, and the long silver hair flowed in the wind like mercury.
His robe rustled, revealing a pure silver sword at his waist.
At the end of the airship, the cold and beautiful woman said indifferently without even turning her head: "My brother, although he is a hopeless loser, his appearance is still impeccable. But you are not allowed to touch him. This time, I am following my father's order to bring him back to the capital and marry him to the eldest daughter of the Xavier family."
Chapter 15 Noren, let me explain!
Moonlit Kiss, this is the name of this legendary team of adventurers. All four members are talented warlocks of level five, and the team configuration is also the standard four: warrior, swordsman, mage, and priest.
They were born in Brentanya's top Trinity College. Not only were they extremely talented, but they also had strong family backgrounds. In their early years, they had explored many dangerous forbidden places. Now, less than a year after graduation, they had been admitted into the military as an exception and were active on various battlefields, with outstanding achievements.
The strongest member of this team is Valerius Novia.
Known as the Sword Ghost, a fifth-level peak melee warrior.
"The eldest daughter of the Xavier family?"
Stephanie lifted a strand of red hair from her ear and showed a sympathetic look: "Tsk tsk, it seems that your family really intends to use him as a political sacrifice? They actually want him to marry that woman."
Motta had obviously heard the legend about the Xavier family, and his face changed slightly for a moment: "This is more than just a political sacrifice, they don't even care about their life or death."
As a shield warrior, his appearance is similar to his personality, honest and sturdy.
"It's just a waste utilization. Instead of leaving him at the border to fend for himself, it's better to transfer him back to the capital. Even if he really dies, he can still live a good life for a few years."
Novia narrowed her beautiful long eyes. If one could ignore her overly fierce temperament, then at this moment she looked like a cute white cat.
"Is this the last care you can give me as an elder sister?"
The blond priest smiled and said, "If he knew that he could return to the capital, he would be so grateful that he would cry, right? Did he cry when he was driven out?"
Everyone smiled at each other. This was a common joke among nobles.
Novia was stunned: "I don't remember..."
It has been a long time since she paid attention to that useless brother of hers. After all, she was busy practicing.
She did not go to see Licinius off on the day he left the capital.
To be honest, Licinius is not completely useless.
At least he had the little girl from the Frostian family with him, who was also a fourth-level melee fighter.
Besides, that guy has a good talent for business, so it should be possible for him to provide logistics support for their team.
However, for some reason, Novia didn't like this younger brother.
After this meeting, I will take him back to the capital and let him fend for himself.
Amidst the roar, the airship slowly descended towards the wilderness below.
Inside the cabin, a beautiful female officer came out, bowed, and said with a smile: "Thank you for all the hard work in guarding against enemy air raids along the way."
The blond priest said politely, "It's okay. We are honored to serve General Cyrus."
Novia glanced at her companion lightly and said nothing.
Leading the frontline battle this time was the Imperial General, Cyrus Via Salvatore.
That is, the Grand Duke's son.
The most powerful family among the nobles, bar none.
Even a team of adventurers like Moonlit Kiss cannot be compared with them.
Therefore, it is understandable that teammates in the team want to lick it.
The female officer smiled even more brightly: "You all performed outstandingly in this war. General Cyrus has seen it all. When we return to the capital, we will report to the empress and confer titles and rewards on you all. Especially Miss Novia, because your military exploits are so dazzling, General Cyrus wants to express his gratitude to you specifically..."
Novia raised her beautiful eyes and said coldly: "No need..."
She was well aware of the other party's intention to win her over.
But given her personality, she would never submit to anyone.
"In that case, we won't force you."
The female officer was not embarrassed. "By the way, General Cyrus wants to ask, there is a rumor circulating around the ancient city of Hera and the city of Norma recently. I wonder if you are interested?"
The blond young man became interested: "What rumor?"
The female officer said seriously: "Dark magic..."
There was a sharp light in Novia's beautiful eyes: "Oh?"
Several of her companions behind her also became obviously interested.
"It is said that there are a large number of sorcerers who master black magic roaming around in the border areas. It is very likely that they got something from the ruins of the ancient city of Hera. Just yesterday, they even started a riot in the city of Roma."
The female officer said meaningfully: "If you are interested, General Sellers is willing to send a royal detective to cooperate with you to investigate this incident."
o
The Bloodthirsty Flying Dragon let out a thunderous roar and swooped down at an extremely fast speed. Finally, it flapped its wings and hovered in the air two hundred meters above the city.
Two figures on Dragon's Back emerged from the clouds, illuminated by the moonlight.
After Old Neil took the last bottle of potion, the horrible changes on his body finally faded away like the tide. The granulations shrank back into his flesh, the cracked skin healed, and his spirit became full again.
"How terrible, Your Majesty! Just a quick glance has polluted my spirit. I had to drink four bottles of magic potion in a row to recover. What kind of dark magic does this noble boy master?"
He asked with lingering fear: "This is simply a disaster!"
The empress glanced at him and said, "Can't you see it?"
Old Neil smiled bitterly and said, "Although I have been studying the knowledge related to black magic, I don't have the talent to practice black magic, Your Majesty. I can only say that at least it is not any kind we have seen so far, and it does not exist in the hands of the hounds raised by Joachim."
The empress hummed, "That means the possibility of Licinius being loyal to Joachim is even lower."
Very good, she is very satisfied.
“But we don’t know what he actually practiced.”
Old Neil patted his chest, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, didn't you ask?"
The empress said calmly: "Will he tell the truth if I ask him?"
Old Neil was stunned, then smiled and said, “Your Majesty is right.”
"Why not observe slowly? Maybe you will get some surprises for me."
The empress narrowed her eyes. "At least from the current tests and observations, he is qualified. Give him some more time. I want to see if he is capable enough."
Old Neil was surprised: "Your Majesty wants him to restart the Night's Watch? A user of dark magic?"
The Queen turned around, a cold smile on her lips: "For the royal family, the Night's Watch is originally a violent organization, a tool used for assassination, infiltration, elimination of dissidents, and consolidation of power. Therefore, the most extreme power is needed. Don't you think that black magic is exactly the most suitable for the Night's Watch?"
Old Neil said in a very secretive manner: "Your Majesty, you have planted a bomb next to yourself."
"If you have a dangerous weapon, you want to know where it is all the time."
The empress smiled, which was rare: "Isn't it just right to put it in front of me?"
She raised her beautiful eyes and looked at the sleeping city, her eyes were so deep that it was difficult to understand.
o
It was the middle of the night and the long street was eerily quiet.
Because of the upcoming arrival of the empress, even bars, casinos and even brothels were closed.
Only the dim street lights are still on, making me feel particularly lonely in the dead of night.
Licinius walked through the wealthy area with a happy face. Because the architectural style here was not very soundproof, he could hear all kinds of indescribable sounds coming from the old houses around.
“What a pity.”
He said intentionally or unintentionally: "I thought I was here to make my brother vomit today, but I never expected that not only would he be killed, but he would also be recruited by His Majesty."
An unknown person who was just developing slowly in the Novice Village was actually targeted by a max-level boss.
This is really unreasonable.
"Um?"
Tria was indeed a succubus, and could understand a lot of the jokes. She smiled and said, "If Master Licinius feels it's a pity, then why not perform well in front of His Majesty. If you get His Majesty's commendation, even if you ask me to be your MZ or something, His Majesty will consider it carefully."
At this moment, her magic power has recovered a lot and she can move freely.
But the plain white skirt was torn, revealing her delicate skin vaguely.
He is truly a lust demon.
It is clearly just a plain white dress, but it is more seductive than sexy lingerie.
Li Xini's face darkened as he complained, "You, a demon, are very loyal to His Majesty."
This is the first time I see an employee selling out his dignity and body to help the boss make a rosy picture.
"It's a human-demon hybrid."
Tria smiled and said, "If it weren't for Your Majesty, I would have died in the prison of the royal capital."
Licinius thought that this woman had been following the empress since the royal capital period.
"All right… "
He said, “Then why are you following me?”
Tria said softly, "To protect you."
Li Xini frowned: "Do I still need your protection? You are defeated and you are so arrogant!"
Tria said with a half-smile, "I am a fourth-level succubus after all. My combat power is not weak. Of course I can help you if you are in danger. Moreover, I am following you to tell my companions in this city that you are one of them from today on. They will make things easier for you in the future."
Licinius narrowed his eyes: "How many of the Empress's people are there in this city?"
He suddenly discovered that this city was not as simple as he had previously thought.
Maybe the aunt who buys bread downstairs every day, the singer with black stockings who is often stared at by him, the teachers in the academy, and even the inconspicuous cleaner are all deliberately disguised hidden agents.
"One day you'll know." Tria smiled.
Li Xini suddenly stopped and said, "Fuck!"
Because he had already gone downstairs and found that the lights on the second floor were still on!
Noren didn't sleep...
Well, not just no sleep.
At this moment, the girl was standing upstairs, staring at him expressionlessly!
Chapter 16 All fear comes from insufficient firepower!
On the second floor of the mansion, the atmosphere was awkward.
Norn was wearing white plush rabbit pajamas, kneeling on the bed, and said calmly: "So you said you were just going out for a walk? You were gone for four hours, and the girl sent you back. The key point is that the girl was not dressed properly, and you said you were going to discuss business with her?"
The soft candlelight illuminated the girl's delicate face like ice and snow, but it could not dispel the coldness on her face.
"Noren, things are not what you think."
Li Xini held his forehead and said helplessly: "What if I said she was a demon? Moreover, she is a human-demon hybrid, and is a hidden agent arranged by the empress in Roma City. You are right when you say there is something wrong with her."
Norn was stunned: "The Empress's people?"
Immediately, he revealed an expression of deep doubt.
"I won't lie to you about this."
Licinius sighed and briefly described what happened tonight.
Of course, he polished it up a bit, minus the seven deadly sins and the black magic stuff.
By the way, he also emphasized his wisdom and personal charm.
After hearing this, Norn was silent for a long time: "So, she tore her clothes herself?"
