"Haha~ You don't know that when those guys came off the stage, their faces were as dark as anything." Lancelot chattered non-stop at the dinner. To be honest, if we can win the semi-finals, everyone has done their part. Partial force.
Artolis also found out from Lilith's interview after the game that the plan for this round of the game was supposed to be executed around her.
"Sister Liz, happy birthday!" Taking the gift from Xilu, Artolis smiled and rubbed the other person's little head.
Seeing the congratulatory looks from her friends, Artolis felt her nose sore. In the past, living conditions were difficult, and the scene like today where family and friends sit around and have fun together was simply unattainable.
Artoris seems to understand the last wish left by the old leader Fred. Avalon is really a beautiful place. It is a pity that everyone in the Knights is left in the "purgatory on earth" where wars are everywhere, and they are the only ones enjoying the beauty here.
"You are really a selfish person. Without relatives, how can you have family happiness." After a glass of wine, Artolis laughed at herself. Why was she the only one who survived, and why wasn't she allowed to experience the sufferings of the world? The excessive warmth and the strong feeling of guilt hit Artolis's heart.
On this day, Artolis, who didn't know how to drink, got very drunk. Fortunately, the final time was extended to three days, so it wouldn't be a big deal even if she slept all day tomorrow.
"Does the wine... taste good?" The old man asked after looking at the drunk girl beside him.
"It doesn't taste good, not delicious at all, and I feel dizzy." After hearing the old man's words, Artoris replied in a daze.
"Everyone will get drunk without being drunk. Just order it as much as possible." After taking a sip of wine, the old man's eyes fell on the basket of bread.
"You know that all I want is drinks, why do you bring them to me every day?"
Seemingly not listening to what the old man said, Artolis moved towards the other person. While she was still briefly awake, Artolis said what she wanted to say.
"Corvo, we will be leaving for the second world soon."
"Leave..." The old man's hoarse voice hesitated to speak.
Artoris wanted to say that she had an additional qualification and hoped that he could go with her, but before she could say anything, her consciousness blurred.
Feeling the girl's calm breathing, the old man was silent for a while, and stayed like this until the woman arrived.
"Sure enough, it's here." Seeing such a scene, Lingyu had a headache. Fortunately, we didn't drink with those little guys this time. When we counted the number of people, we found that one person was missing. As a result, Artolis really came here.
"Excuse me, please take care of my sister." Bowing to the old man, Lingyu squatted down and wanted to carry away Artoris who was drunk to death. It is indeed too dangerous for a young girl and an old man without food and clothing to be in an alley late at night.
"Yes" nodded and let Lingyu take Artolis away, but the old man's eyes stayed on her for a long time.
"Please tell her that she doesn't have to come here again."
Lingyu was stunned by the old man's words, but she soon understood the other party's intention.
"Okay, I'll tell her."
…
From the moment Sid appeared in the command room of the fifth branch of the Feather Silver Wings, this night was destined to be unrestful.
"Your Highness, Third Prince, do you really want to do this?" After learning that their Third Prince used the imperial power to recruit his own subordinates, in order to assassinate a girl who was in her early third grade, the commander of the Silver Wings, Wu Erwu, rushed to the scene. He frowned and spoke.
"That guy dares to humiliate the emperor in front of all the people, so we need to show him some shame." Thinking of the game during the day, Sid gritted his teeth in anger.
"Really, Gawain? Keep laughing. Let's see if you can still laugh after this prince has buried the people closest to you!"
The fifth Silver Wing detachment is composed of a rank-7 captain and a dozen rank-5 Yu clan warriors. If you want to kill a rank-3 cultivator, you can do it calmly. In other words, sending so many people there is completely redundant. If a strong man of rank seven assassinates a cultivator of rank three, that's not just an instant death!
I really didn't expect that His Highness the Third Prince would be so impulsive, looking at his subordinates walking through the night on the surveillance screen. Ur's brows furrowed. It was hard to disobey the emperor's order. He just hoped that those guys would be more tidy and not let their superiors know about this matter. Otherwise, the demotion would be considered a light one.
"We captured the target. We just left the alley." The captain of the Silver Wings' fifth detachment said, hiding in the shadows without making a big fanfare.
"Actually, let me ask, why did the third prince go to such great lengths to assassinate a mere third-level cultivator?" As soon as the man spoke, the captain glared at him.
"Stop gossiping. Do you really think the other side of the surveillance camera can't hear your conversation?!"
He quickly covered his mouth, and in order not to attract the attention of the Avalon patrol, he followed the captain and his group and walked out of the darkness with gentle steps. After crossing two streets, we entered the alley.
"Pais, there's an old man over there." A team member pulled his companion beside him and pointed to the black figure in the corner.
"It must be a beggar. Go directly and ignore him."
Although he said that, when the group of people stepped forward, the beggar suddenly stood up unsteadily.
"Can I give you something to eat?" Looking at the drunken old man standing in front of him, the captain's mouth twitched. Then he signaled to the person behind him to send him away, but he didn't expect that the other person suddenly jumped on him.
He used his dirty hands to pull at the hem of his clothes and said, "Okay, please give me something to eat!"
The captain who was already impatient saw this and pushed the person away. It would have been humiliating to have him, the captain of the Silver Wing Squadron, carry out the assassination mission, but it was an order given by the prince and he could not disobey it. I had been holding back my sullen feeling until now, and was finally triggered by the old beggar in front of me.
The team members behind him came forward, grabbed the old beggar by the collar, and lifted him up directly.
"Do you know who the person you just touched is? If you still want your life, just slap your butt and roll as far away as you can!" Throwing the old man aside, the group felt a little more relaxed. Take steps and keep moving.
Hitting his head against the wall of the alley, the old beggar hunched over, lowered his head and murmured in a hoarse voice: "Ah, a bunch of impetuous guys..."
"Hoo ho ho..." Suddenly, the screen on the surveillance screen went dark, shocking the people who were monitoring it. When Wu Er turned around, he yelled at the staff member who had retrieved the footage: "What is going on?"
"No... I don't know. There is nothing wrong with the instrument display?" Seeing the angry looks on the faces of the commander and the third prince, the staff who retrieved the footage was quite nervous.
"Report...report to the commander that all signs of life on the instruments have disappeared." At this time, another message came from the other side.
"What!"
The next second, the picture on the display screen returned. However, there is no trace of the fifth team members in the picture. There is only a black figure standing in the center of the dark alleyway.
"A warning, and the last time, stay away from her!" The moment the hoarse voice turned and the black figure turned to look, the screen used for monitoring broke. At the same time, the door to the command room was pushed open violently.
"Sid! What are you doing!" Marfa, who arrived just in time to see the scene frozen in the screen, turned pale.
"Night watchman……"
