There was no suspense. With Anne's impatient temper that couldn't stand loneliness and had no patience at all, it was of course impossible for her to stay in the magic academy for long.
Isn’t this?
It was only two days, and after spending two days in the big library of the Magic Academy and walking around the Magic Academy again, she became a little impatient!
Then, the Full Moon Queen Lenara, who saw everything in her eyes, naturally followed the trend and directly persuaded Anne with gentle words, saying that if Anne really wanted to know the result early, she might as well leave directly to take a sneak peek?
To this end, Lenara thoughtfully provided clues and actively made suggestions: for Annie, it is best to go to one of Lani's most trusted followers, that is, the strategist Iggy.
Lenara believed that if it was the strategist Iggy, the other party would definitely know some important clues in advance, such as where Lani went.
Of course, it is a matter of opinion as to whether the Queen of the Full Moon is showing any favoritism, or whether she is worried about her daughter, so she tries to ask Anne to come and see her and help her out.
Anyway!
While all the pyroxen mages at Rhea Lucalia Magic Academy were frightened, fearful and suspicious because of the uninvited appearance of a troublesome little girl, Anne did not alert anyone. Quietly left the Magic Academy and the big library.
She was going to ask for directions from the strategist Aunt Lenara mentioned, and then follow a certain doll sister to see if she could successfully hunt down the evil 'finger' or something.
Half a day later...
"Um……"
(ー`′ー)
First, I teleported directly from the big library of Rhea Lucalia Academy of Magic to not far from Kallia Walled City, and then walked a long way south along the road. After walking for a long time, I was about to reach a certain ruins. But Anne didn't even see the military advisor.
"Tibbers, didn't Aunt Lenara say that the guy called Military Advisor Iggy is usually somewhere on the road north of the ruins of the royal domain and south of the Carlia Walled City?"
(；′⌒`)
"But how come they haven't discovered it yet after they've gone so far away?"
?°(°ˉ??ˉ?°)°?
Then, of course, she began to sway her legs impatiently on Tibbers' shoulders while whining repeatedly.
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
(Tibbers was indifferent, because the fact is: a certain bad little mistress didn’t walk at all. It was obviously him who was walking all the time, and the old bear himself didn’t even complain about being tired. How could she, a guy who sits on a bear, be walking instead? You are complaining first, is there any reason for this?)
"Huh?"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
"look!"
(°ー°〃)
"Tibbers, there seems to be a giant on the mountain over there?"
?(ˉーˉ?)
At this moment, Annie discovered that there seemed to be a weird giant sitting on a rocky hill not far from the road ahead?
(Dear little master, could he be the military Iggy we are looking for?)
(●￣(?)￣●)
(Of course Tibbers saw it too, and then he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and asked.)
"ah?"
=????('ヮ'=????)
"He is the military advisor Iggy? No way, right?"
(′～`●)
After taking a look, Anne still felt a little reluctant to believe that such a giant could be a strategist. After all, he didn't look very smart.
(However, no one else said that a military advisor cannot be a giant...)
(lll￢?￢)
(Anyway, it was not easy to encounter a living person in such a wilderness, and the location was right with others, so Tibbs definitely didn't want to miss it.)
"!!"
!(;?o?)o
"Didn't you say that?"
(^～^;)
Anne was a little surprised by what her little bear said.
Then, she thought about it carefully. Although she had heard the name of that so-and-so 'Iggy' many times, no one really told her what kind of person the 'Strategist Iggy' had been with in the gang fight, and it seemed that Didn't he say he wasn't a giant?
"But……"
⊙﹏⊙‖∣°
"Will the military counselor of that doll sister be a giant?"
(O^~^O)
"He looks stupid, even stupider than you..."
(??ˇ?ˇ??)
The more I looked at Anne, the less likely it seemed.
In her mind, a military advisor should be the kind of shrewd guy who is cunning and insidious and often comes up with strange ideas. The giant in the distance has a body that looks like it is made of stone lumps, and that kind of stone head. Just like a wooden head, it is definitely not easy to use!
This is just like her stupid little bear, it has a fur head, so much so that it can't even learn the most basic and simple magic. If you come up with a bad idea, you are so stupid!
(…)
(￢?￢.)
"All right!"
′ο｀*)))Alas
"Whether it is or not, just go and ask and you will find out!"
??
Anyway, they had been walking for a long time, and the road leading to the walled city on the north shore of Lake Lienia was also very desolate. They walked for a long time without even seeing a patrolling soldier. If so, then you can only go directly to the other party and ask.
"..."
When Annie and Tibbers decided to jump towards each other, the giant also saw her and her little bear, and kept casting inquiring eyes towards her.
"Wow!"
(⊙o⊙*)
Soon, Annie arrived in front of the other party, and sat carelessly on the shoulders of Tibbers the Bear. She was slightly surprised that the person in front of her was holding a huge book in his hand, and next to him was an equally huge iron book. Hammer, there was a big iron felt in front of her that was much taller than her, and a mirror helmet on her face. The giants, whose faces could not be seen clearly, looked at each other.
"Hello."
"Welcome, noble Queen Anne, I didn't expect you to come here."
The two sides stared at each other for a while, and then, before Annie could speak, the giant suddenly asked proactively in a friendly, rich and magnetic voice.
"Eh?"
(*ˉ?ˉ*;)
"you……"
ヾ(=?ω?=)o
"Have we met?"
(‖)?
Anne was startled by the other party's abrupt answer.
"that……"
(??ˇ?ˇ??)
"Grandpa, who are you?"
(
Then, Anne asked directly to her face.
"Iggy..."
"They all call me Blacksmith Iggy..."
Iggy didn't hide anything, and directly and openly revealed his identity and name.
"!!"
!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ
"you!"
!(;?o?)o
"Are you really Iggy, the military advisor of Miss Lani?"
(⊙▽⊙)
Although the other party called himself a blacksmith, that was not important. What was important was that the names matched, so Anne exclaimed and asked in disbelief.
"Yes."
"how?"
"Queen Anne, why are you here today?"
After pondering for a while, it seemed that something could be seen from the expression on Annie's face, so the giant Iggy didn't hesitate and asked directly with some surprise.
"Hello……"
|?˙?˙)
"Tibbers, he is really a strategist!"
(??_?)
"But, he looks obviously dumber than you, how could he be a military advisor..."
(lll￢▽￢)
However, Annie ignored the other party, turned her head directly, leaned into the plush little ears on the big head of her little bear Tibbs and whispered her whisper.
Yes, Lady Queen Anne was indeed quite surprised that the big guy in front of her who looked very stupid turned out to be a military advisor.
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
(Tibbers didn't talk to him, and he didn't want to discuss whether the giant in front of him was really stupider than his uncle bear. He didn't want to compare with that kind of thing at all!)
"..."
Iggy didn't speak in a hurry, and continued to sit there calmly as if he hadn't heard what Annie had just whispered.
"Na!"
(′⊙ω⊙`)
"Grandpa, I want to ask you something. Do you know where Miss Doll has gone?"
ヾ(^▽^*)))
After a long time, Annie finally sat up straight again on Tibbers' shoulders, and then asked the so-called giant military Iggy in a serious and cute voice.
"Miss Doll?"
"oh!"
"You're talking about... Lady Lani, right?"
Hearing this, he was stunned at first, but soon, Iggy came to his senses and knew the real purpose of Queen Anne in front of him, who seemed to be specifically looking for him.
"Uh-huh!"
(???c)
"Do you know where she went?"
?(′?`*)
Anne asked again.
"Yes……"
"Of course I know……"
"cough……"
"I don't know how many years it has been. After a long period of preparation and waiting, Lady Lani finally set off for her long journey."
Then, as if recalling something, Iggy first sighed deeply, and then spoke quietly, and his tone was full of complex emotions like relief and relief.
"..."
But then, he suddenly fell silent.
He didn't know what he was thinking of, but he just held the book in his hand blankly, motionless, and didn't look at Anne who came here specifically.
"??"
(
"Hello!"
?(?^o^?)?
"Grandpa, you haven't said anything yet. Do you know where the little doll sister has gone?"
("?ヘ?)"
After waiting for a while, Annie saw that the other party suddenly became stupid and a little impatient, so of course she hurriedly asked again.
You know, she had to drive a long way to find the other party here. If the other party didn't say anything, wouldn't she have come in vain?
"oh……"
"Feel sorry!"
Finally, under Annie's dissatisfied reminder, Iggy finally came back to his senses.
"About Lady Lani..."
"Yes!"
"I know……"
If someone came to ask him, Iggy would definitely not say anything, even if he threatened death.
but……
If he is the most distinguished guest of the Calian royal family in front of him, he has cured Queen Lenara and General Latan, and has also provided help to Lady Lani many times, and even sent the crucial If King Stonewell is a prop, then Iggy would definitely not dare to hide anything.
"Well……"
"Two days ago, after she explained some things to me, she went to the magician tower named 'Rena' and embarked on her dark path as a god..."
"everything……"
"Thanks to your help..."
"Here, as Lady Lani's military advisor, no, I should say, as an old attendant who has taken care of her since childhood and witnessed her growth, please allow me to express my deepest gratitude to you..."
"The great King Anne..."
As he spoke, Naigi stood up slowly, knelt down towards Annie, and performed the most solemn knight's salute.
"oops!"
!(;?o?)o
"You're welcome, I'm just helping you with a little help..."
(???????)
Seeing this, Annie quickly waved her hands to signal the other party not to be too polite. After all, she was really just helping out with a little help. If it wasn't for her, no matter how others came to ask her, she might not pay attention.
"You'd better think about it again. Apart from the magician's tower, did she go anywhere else?"
?(????)
"Somewhere else?"
"Well……"
"It seems like there really isn't..."
Giant Iggy shook his head, indicating that he didn't know more.
"Really not?"
(*ˉ?ˉ*;)
Hearing this, Annie couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
You know, if you only know that the doll sister Lani went to the magic tower, and don't know anything else, it will be difficult for her to find her.
"Eh?"
|??ω?`)
"Those are……"
(｀ー′)
Suddenly, when Annie was about to continue asking Iggy for more details, she unexpectedly noticed some unusual movements around her.
"It's the Black Knife Assassin..."
At this moment, Iggy, who was half-kneeling on the ground and thinking, immediately raised his head and looked in the direction Annie was looking at.
Then soon, he recognized those figures directly.
"Black Knife Assassin?"
く(＾_?)ゝ
"ah!"
!(;?o?)o
"Are they the bad guys who are looking for trouble?"
(゜-゜)
Annie also remembered that she seemed to have been assassinated by a black knife assassin not long ago. The result...
That means there is no result. After all, the other party is unlikely to succeed, and she has never taken those guys to heart.
"No……"
"On the contrary!"
"I think……"
"They should be here to find me."
As he spoke, Iggy sighed again, then thought about it, and slowly put away the huge book in his hand. At the same time, he freed his hand to touch the huge hammer he put aside and stood up. got up.
"Looking for you?"
(?_?)ヾ
"Why?"
ヾ(′??｀?)ノ
Anne was a little surprised. At first she thought the other party was here to find her. After all, she had only dealt with one person last time, and it was inevitable that another group would come now.
"although……"
"I have been loyal to Lani all these years and I plan to remain loyal until the very end."
"but……"
"For some people, that is betrayal..."
"They won't let me go..."
After saying that, Iggy took two steps forward slowly while holding his huge hammer, but did not intend to say more about himself.
"Queen Anne, you can leave now. Thank you for your concern and support for Lady Lani."
"Now……"
"I'm about to meet my destiny."
Immediately afterwards, Iggy started chasing people away.
Obviously, he wanted to drag the black knife assassins alone, and he seemed to be ready to fight and had some awareness.
"oh!"
(⊙o⊙*)
"But, don't you need help?"
(°ー°〃)
Of course, Anne was not in a hurry to leave. She just looked indifferently at the group of black knife assassins who were disappearing and disappearing in the distance, using poor stealth methods to surround them step by step.
"it's useless……"
"After this time, there will be another time and the next time. You can't stay by my side forever."
Iggy shook his head slightly and rejected Annie's kindness.
"My duties are almost over..."
"..."
"I, Iggy, have been serving Lady Lani all year round, and I have never stopped, but... the next step may be a long journey, and I can no longer keep up with her."
"In that case, let all this come to a complete end today..."
It's like what he said, those black knives will not let him go, and although the Queen Anne behind him is very powerful, she will not always guard him. Those assassins who can't even resist the golden Godwin, he Iggy didn't have the confidence to avoid them again and again, so he decided to face them head-on. No matter what the outcome was, he had no regrets.
"next time?"
.(,,???,,)
"Then let's wait until next time!"
?(ψ｀▽′)o
Looking around, Annie soon spotted the big iron felt at the other party's house.
Then……
"ha!"
(∩*?
Suddenly, Anne threw a fireball at the opponent's big iron felt, and instantly enveloped it in a ball of dark red flames.
"Well?"
"W-what?"
The next second, under Iggy's shocked eyes, he only saw:
His iron felt melted instantly, and then soon, as the magic runes lit up one by one, a steel flame giant slowly stood up from the melted iron juice, still holding the hand he had placed on top of it. The great sword of the Calian royal family.
However, the sword was now surrounded by red flames, and it was also covered with bright red runes, which looked very extraordinary.
"Here!"
()?
"I'm giving this mindless steel flame puppet to you to play with. I need to go to that Reina Magic Tower first!"
Anne knew that these people seemed to like playing with puppets. Even Miss Lani was a puppet, so she simply made a puppet and gave it to them for self-defense.
"Goodbye~!"
(????-)?
After saying that, without waiting for the other party to react, Annie cast a teleportation spell, and her little bear disappeared in an instant.
'...'
After Annie disappeared, the puppet that was made of melted iron felt and its whole body was composed of steel and flames. It looked similar to those Fire Eye Knights, but was larger and duller. Suddenly, its eyes glowed with a strong red light, and then It suddenly moved and rushed forward at an extremely fast speed.
Uh-huh! !
The flame puppet was just a sword. After the flaming sharp blade flashed away, it cut an invisible assassin with a black knife in half in an instant and only a vague outline could be seen.
Then, it started to fight with those angry black knife assassins...
Not long after, each of the black assassins were beheaded in various hideous and ugly postures and fell to death in the wilderness.
"ah!"
So, after seeing the steel flame puppet rushing into the Black Knife Assassin's formation and killing everyone, and was so powerful that one Black Knife Assassin was killed on the spot with every strike, Iggy was so shocked that he almost stared out. Eyeballs.
"That……"
"Is that the effect of the legendary flame furnace?"
Iggy knew that the powerful Queen Anne left something called the 'Flame Furnace' in Stonewell City. Those who were tortured by the curse but did not lose their minds could gain new life once placed in it. Very magical.
And it was precisely because of that melting pot that Stonewell City became the most powerful force in the border area, bar none!
Therefore, when he saw the steel flame puppet that was slashing back among the black knife assassins and killing all the seven or eight attacking black knifes in a short while, he subconsciously thought that it was Stonewell's. That kind of thing.
"Well?"
"this!"
Immediately afterwards, Iggy couldn't help but exclaimed.
Because, he saw it again. Not long after, after killing all the incoming black knives, the steel flame puppet actually ran back on his own, and then under his eyes, it melted and condensed again, and transformed into The big iron felt look like before?
"This is……"
"Rune's power?"
"No!"
"Not quite like..."
Then, Iggy still saw a different change on his iron felt, that is: the iron felt and the sword on it seemed to have some mysterious flame runes that he couldn't understand, and they also contained some kind of hidden meaning. A power he couldn't understand?
"King Anne?"
"What on earth are you..."
Looking at the mess on the ground, looking at the black knife assassins who were wiped out in less than a moment, and looking at the iron felt that had returned to its original state, Military Advisor Iggy was so shocked that he didn't know what to say for a long time. good.
"..."
Then, he put down the hammer in his hand, turned around slowly, looked towards the north, towards the Three Sisters Tower in the Kaliya Walled City, and stopped making any sound for a long time, as if Like a statue.
