"Have you ever thought that if I saw you like this, I might go berserk? After all, getting rid of a competitor ranked third will give me a lot of benefits. "Allen suddenly said.
Lucy thought for a moment and smiled. "I really haven't thought about it."
"That's right, that's why you came here according to our original agreement. You subconsciously chose to believe me, so I won't give up on you either! "Allen turned around and the sun gently fell on his face. Although his face was covered in blood, it didn't have the slightest bit of malevolence. Instead, it gave people a kind of trust and peace of mind.
Grinning, Allen waved his hand and turned to leave. He jumped up the hill and disappeared from Lucy's eyes.
Lucy signed, and a blush passed over her pale little face. She smiled foolishly. "Won't give up on you? Heh, that sounds great. "
"Alright, then I have to be obedient. I'll find a place to hide first. At the very least, I can't be killed. "Lucy stood up with the help of a tree trunk.
The poison in her body wasn't too fierce, and she used her own Origin Energy to suppress it. Although her physical strength was reduced, it wasn't to the extent that she couldn't move. It was just that when she walked, her steps were inevitably a bit shaky.
After taking a few steps forward, a gust of mountain wind blew past Lucy. The girl's eyes suddenly lit up. Her pistol bounced up and she quickly swung it backwards. A figure appeared where the muzzle was pointed.
"Your Highness, it's me!" A wide palm pressed down on the muzzle. The owner of the hand was a powerful old man with a white beard.
His tower-like body seemed to be made of steel, and even his skin glowed with a metallic luster under the sunlight. The old man wore black clothes, brown leather armor, and carried two crossed broadswords on his back. On each of the broadswords, there was a single wing that spread out in opposite directions.
"Teacher?" Lucy suddenly looked embarrassed and stammered, "How did you find me?"
"Your Highness, you're really too reckless. You actually came to participate in the Federation's death arena and even bribed an official to impersonate a child. If your father finds out, he will definitely be furious. "The old man shook his head.
Lucy snorted through her nostrils. "Father doesn't have time to care about me."
"Your Highness, you are the person he loves the most." The old man frowned.
Lucy wrinkled her nose. "He loves those women, not me."
"But he gave you the Golden Rose."
"That's because I'm the only one who can control the Golden Rose," Lucy said forcefully. However, before she could finish her sentence, she started coughing violently.
The old man's eyes lit up and became brighter and brighter, as if silver flames were shooting out of his eyes. He cried out involuntarily, "Your Highness, have you been poisoned?"
Then, without any explanation, he grabbed one of Lucy's arms and opened her palm. The old man stretched out a finger, and a silver-white flame of Origin Energy shot out from his fingertip. The flames condensed into a tiny silver needle. The old man gently stabbed the silver needle into Lucy's palm. Instantly, a silver pattern spread out from his palm like a loop and flowed through his entire body in the blink of an eye.
"Fortunately, it's not anything powerful." The old man withdrew the Origin Energy Needle and took out a box from his leather armor. He opened the box and took out a syringe. The syringe was filled with blue liquid. The old man stabbed the needle into Lucy's arm and pressed all the antidote into it.
A moment later, the paleness on Lucy's face gradually faded, and a trace of blood appeared on her face.
"Alright, in at most an hour, the poison in Your Highness's body will be completely removed. But you have to tell me, who is so bold as to poison you! "The old man's tone was filled with killing intent.
Lucy spread out her hands and said, "That's a question for me. I don't know who did it either."
"If that's the case, please come with me, Your Highness." The old man frowned and said, "This subject is responsible for Your Highness's safety. I really can't let Your Highness continue to cause trouble like this."
"Alright, alright." Lucy blinked her eyes and shook the old man's hand. "Teacher, I promise to go back with you. But you have to give me some more time. "
"Your Highness!" The old man's voice rose a little, his eyes wide open, and he was not angry.
"Anyway, I can't go back with you now." Lucy said with her hands on her hips.
The old man had a headache and said, "Why is that?"
"Because I promised someone that I would wait for him to come back."
"That brat?" The old man shook his head and said, "Your Highness, that's just a brat from the remnants of the surface. How can I let you take the risk with your golden body?"
"Marquis Metallon, I've made up my mind!" Lucy said in an irrefutable tone, "Anyway, I'll go back with you after the death arena is over."
The old man's expression stiffened. Lucy had changed her title from teacher to title, which was to take out another identity to show her position. He could only smile bitterly and say, "Alright, since Your Highness has made up your mind, then this subject will only accompany you to protect you."
'"Your Highness, this is the first time you've called this subject's name directly. Is that kid really that important to you? "
Lucy said apologetically, "I'm sorry, teacher. It's just that that person is my friend. Besides, he's someone I'm looking forward to. "
"Someone worth looking forward to?" "Alright, Your Highness," said Metallon. "I'll polish my eyes and take a good look at what this kid has to look forward to."
Allen suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
He lowered his body mechanically and hid behind a clump of bushes. He cautiously scanned his surroundings. Just now, he felt as if he was being stared at by a wolf, which caused all the hair on the back of his neck to stand up. However, the surrounding woodland was very quiet, except for the occasional wind blowing and a few leaves falling.
Could it be an illusion? He thought, shook his head, and Allen stood up again.
He was moving towards the forest in the northwest.
Both southeast and southeast were plains, and there was nothing to hide. If someone wanted to hang behind Lucy and take advantage of her, they would definitely not choose such an open place that was easy to discover. In that case, the sea of trees that moved diagonally from the north to the west was undoubtedly the best choice. As for the range, it would not be too large. According to Lucy's own estimation of the poison time, the limit of the person who poisoned her would not exceed 30 kilometers.
Once he crossed this distance, it was hard for Allen to imagine how the other party would reach Lucy's hiding place in only 15 hours. In fact, this distance would be shorter. As a result, the difficulty of Allen's search was greatly reduced.
He hid his tactical saber in the bushes and climbed up the tall tree in front of him. When he emerged from the canopy, Allen saw a sea of trees. In the east, the sun was shining brightly. As for the forest that extended north, waves of leaves were stirred up by the wind. The forest looked very calm. Just as Allen was about to go back, a bird suddenly soared into the sky about a kilometer to the northwest.
Allen immediately slid down from the tree, picked up his tactical saber, and snuck in the direction of the bird.
There must be human activity there to alarm the forest birds. Whether or not it was the person who poisoned her, since the traces of activity were so close, he had to confirm it and remove it if necessary.
A kilometer would only take five minutes for Allen's feet. As he approached his destination, he heard a girl's exclamation. Allen immediately stopped and climbed to the canopy of an old tree nearby. Just as he hid with the leaves, he saw a girl running in his direction. Suddenly, a javelin was thrown in front of her. The girl stopped in her tracks. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. Three more javelins fell and blocked her way out.
The girl under the tree was none other than Emily.
Emily turned her back to Allen, which prevented Allen from seeing the girl's expression. However, judging from her rapid breathing, the girl was very nervous. Not far away, two youths emerged from behind a camphor tree. Walking in front was a boy with light brown curly hair and freckles on his childish face. He was holding a javelin in his hand. It seemed that he had blocked Emily's path of retreat just now.
The other was a tall black teenager with short, dyed blonde hair and a lip ring. He was looking at Emily with a teasing expression.
Allen quickly recalled their information in his mind. The boy who used the javelin was Raffi, and the other black man was Canon. The strength of these two people was only in the middle. In Allen's eyes, their bodies emitted a light of Origin Energy that was like morning mist. Within his body, there were four dots of light shining. Words.
Allen now knew that not everyone's Origin Energy light could be observed. For example, Hughton could only be seen by Allen when he used his Origin Energy. Unlike Second Lieutenant Ron and the others, the Origin Energy light on their bodies was clearly visible. In visible circumstances, the strength of the light was usually directly linked to the degree of Origin Energy. Therefore, a youth like Lafite, who only possessed four Origin Energy vortexes, had a Origin Energy light that was neither bright nor clear.
Of course, Allen wasn't much better than them.
Allen was confident that he could deal with two rank four Origin Energy practitioners. After all, Joe and Hera weren't weaker than the two in front of them, so he held his breath and hid his body, waiting for any changes.
"All right, Emily. You can't escape. Let me guess, you want to meet up with Lucy so that you can get her protection again? "The black youth, Canon, said in an unpleasant tone.
Raffi gently turned the javelin and said in a cold voice, "Tell us where Lucy is, or you can be tortured by Canon before you tell us. But I'm sure it was an unpleasant experience. "
"Are you looking for trouble with Lucy?" Emily's voice was delicate and moving, but her hand behind her quietly slid out a dagger from her sleeve.
Of course, Raffi and Canon definitely didn't know. Alan, on the other hand, could see it clearly. His gaze fell on the dagger, and he looked at Emily with more vigilance.
"I can tell you where she is, and I can guarantee that you can easily deal with her." Emily's voice was delicate, "She should be unable to protect herself now. If you make a move, she won't have any room to resist."
"Oh, why?" Raffi frowned. "She's a top-ranked expert. I don't think she's that easy to deal with."
