After returning to the imperial capital, Sheila established a new guard force [Wild Hounds].
Originally, the minister wanted him to assist in strengthening security, but unexpectedly, Sheila took advantage of Esdeath's absence and began to seize power and suppress them on her own initiative, even committing violence against the people of the imperial capital as a soldier.
And this kind of behavior is just to satisfy his hopeless bad taste.
"In other words, he is the next target?"
"Ah. Getting rid of him would be beneficial to both of you and me, wouldn't it?"
Somewhere in an alley, Xiaolin was meeting Leonai and Lubbock.
Moreover, it was Xiao Lin who took the initiative to contact them.
He won't tolerate sneak attacks in secret!
In addition, during this period, Sheila's extensive search for the night raiders also brought them a lot of trouble. The two sides hit it off and decided to work together to eradicate them.
Xiaolin then told them the information.
"Sheila's Teigu is called [Shangri-La]. Its effect is that it can teleport people to any place in an instant. However, the disadvantage is that the farther the teleportation takes place, the more energy it consumes and it cannot be activated continuously."
"Hmm... troublesome Teigu."
Lubbock pinched his chin solemnly.
[Shangri-La] Although it does not bring an attack increase to the Teigu user, the teleportation effect is quite troublesome. If you are not careful, you will be diverted by the other party and fall into the trap that has been prepared for you.
Xiao Lin waved his hands and said nonchalantly: "This is not my business. I have told you the effects and whereabouts of the Teigu. I will trouble you later."
"What, Xiaolin, don't you plan to help?" Leonai was a little excited.
Xiao Lin stretched out his index finger and reminded: "Let's agree from the beginning that I will give you information and you will take action."
"Hey, hey, don't be so heartless!"
Lubbock came up laughing and put his arm on Xiao Lin's shoulders and said: "The past is the past, and the present is now. We all know how difficult it is to deal with Silla, so you can't leave all the dirty work to us. "
The meaning behind the words is obvious.
Even if Xiao Lin doesn't help this time, they won't take action during the night attack.
After all, Sheila's main target now is the hunters, and the night attack can wait until they finish fighting before coming out to close the net.
But if Sheila is suppressed by the minister, and the strengths of both parties are forcibly integrated, then it will be bad news for them.
Of course, Kobayashi wouldn't let that happen.
"Okay, then I'll put in a little effort."
Xiaolin agreed without much thought, and then snapped his fingers: "Among the five Wild Hounds, there is a Teigu user named Shang Pu. I will deal with him."
"Oh ho~ Xiaolin, you are really evil-minded."
Lubbock narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a low voice, "You picked him on purpose, right?"
Apparently, he guessed it.
He agreed to help so easily and specifically named one of them. It would be strange to say that there is no problem.
Xiao Lin didn't panic at all.
"So, deal? Or no deal?"
"trade!"
Xiao Lin was also very decisive. If both parties disagreed, they would stop. No matter what, Xiao Lin would definitely not lose.
Knowing this, Lubbock hurriedly agreed.
"So--"
After talking about the business, Lubbock suddenly had a bad smile on his face, pushed Xiao Lin and said: "Xiao~~Lin~~, you and a beautiful woman stayed on an uninhabited island for three days and three nights, tell me, what happened? Nothing happened that made your heart beat faster?"
forgotten.
Lubbock is a total gossip.
He was obviously jealous of other men having close contact with women, but he still always inquired about these things. It was hard for Xiao Lin not to doubt whether he had the attributes of a minotaur.
but……
"Yes, I have."
Xiao Lin's mouth twitched slightly and his pupils shrank, and he said: "When I was on the uninhabited island, my heart was beating fast all the time. If I hadn't been restrained, I might have accidentally shot her. Of course, if I did that, I There will definitely be a desperate incident.”
Such as cold stem, cold stem, cold stem...
some type of.
Although the words were very ambiguous, Lubbock still understood what Xiaolin meant.
Being alone with that super powerful Queen, Xiao Lin must always be vigilant. A slight oversight will surely lead to death.
She patted him on the shoulder sympathetically and said nothing, but it seemed like she had said everything.
Xiao Lin blinked.
Did Lubbock misunderstand something?
"Oh, stop being so sad."
Leonai hugged Xiao Lin's head and buried it in his chest and said: "Look at me overwriting the memory of the queen! How about it, I am still the big sister, I am worthy of your expectation, right? Come on, do you want to come back and play with the big sister? A game only for adults?”
"Oh oh oh! Adult's game, so envious!"
Lubbock looked at Xiaolin jealously.
However, Xiao Lin has already figured out her character, and it is impossible for her to do anything unreasonable.
"So much for the small talk."
Xiao Lin broke away from Leonai's arms and said to them seriously: "The information about Sheila and her men has been informed, I believe you can easily defeat them, but remember not to be careless... Also, don't do anything unnecessary. "
"Okay, okay, we get it."
Lubbock and Leonai waved their hands indifferently.
The two of them quickly shuttled through the alleys and finally disappeared.
Xiao Lin leaned on the wall and said to the elegant man hiding himself in the shadow of the corner: "The opportunity has been given to you. It's up to you whether you can seize it, Lan."
"Thank you."
Lan's eyes contained strong murderous intent.
When the two returned to the Hunter, Will was comforting Black Eyes.
After questioning, I learned that Heitong was harassed by Sheila when the two of them were patrolling the streets today.
Of course, Will beat Silla away hard in order to save her, which instantly won the favor of Black Eyes.
【Well done】
Xiao Lin secretly gave him a thumbs up, and Will rubbed his nose shyly, but still looked quite proud.
"correct!"
Heitong left in a hurry and came back with a cake in his hands: "Someone gave me a cake, let's eat it together."
"It's strange that you can actually tell people's food apart." Will was slightly surprised.
"There was no Wilton originally."
"Then I'm so pitiful."
Playing tricks as usual, the depression just now seemed to have dissipated.
Suddenly, the door opened.
Esdeath walked in from outside the door: "I wonder if I have a piece of the cake?"
"Captain?" Lan stood up and asked, "Have you returned from meeting His Majesty?"
"ah,"
Esdeath went to the palace urgently after returning to the empire, and has just returned now.
…
"I didn't expect something like this to happen. The Wild Hound simply didn't take us seriously." Esdeath looked sullen.
There are no tigers in the mountains, but monkeys are kings.
If Sheila hadn't been the minister's son, Esdeath would have twisted his head off.
Lan continued his report: "They have been making great moves recently. They built a strange factory. I wanted to explore it but they refused to allow anyone to enter."
Recently, in order to gain trust, he pretended to please Sheila.
Unfortunately, the time was too short and I didn’t find out many things.
"besides……"
"It's not like you to speak hesitantly, Lan."
"excuse me."
Lan placed a document in front of her and said: "I did more or less research during the time when the captain left. The dangerous humanoid species that appeared in the surrounding area should be the work of Sheila. In addition, the captain and Xiao Lin were transferred." It’s too much of a coincidence, I’m afraid…”
"He was also the one who moved me away, right?"
Esdeath was really angry now.
She slapped the table and stood up. She was about to say something, but when she saw Xiao Lin, she suddenly calmed down her anger and sat back calmly on the chair again.
"Forget it."
"...Eh?" x3
The people sitting around the round table looked at Esdeath and then at Xiao Lin, and an idea came to their minds.
Something definitely happened between the two of them on the island!
