Esders's figure appeared here unexpectedly.
Fortunately, Ryuga had already noticed her arrogant aura, so she was not surprised.
But when Lubbock saw Esders appear in front of him, his whole person was about to turn gray.
"Esders …"
Lubbock felt suffocated for a while, and his mind was spinning.
It's over.
It's all over.
In the face of Esdeath, even if all the members of the Night Raid worked together and risked their lives, they might not be able to take her down. This was what the boss of the Night Raid, Nagetta had said herself.
To kill her, at least ten top assassins like Scarlet Eye, plus 50,000 elite troops were needed.
It was absolutely impossible for him to be Esders's opponent alone, not to mention that there was also the vice-captain of Jaeger next to him.
It was a desperate scene.
"Captain?"
When Lubbock's mind was in a mess, the vice-captain of Jaeger next to him seemed to have changed into a different person. The previous indifference disappeared, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"My friend was kidnapped by villains, and they threatened me to come here to pay money, so I came here in the middle of the night to save her."
At the same time, he patted him on the shoulder in a friendly manner as if he was introducing an acquaintance to Esders.
"This guy's name is Lubbock, the owner of a bookstore in the capital. I often go to his house to buy books to read. He is one of my friends."
Ha?
What is the vice-captain of Jaeger talking about?
Friend? Kidnapped by villains, so he came to save her?
This guy is lying?
Why? Is it necessary to lie in front of his boss?
Lubbock looked at Ryuga with some sluggishness, but then he suddenly reacted. He knelt on the ground with a "plop", then hugged Ryuga's thigh and cried wildly.
"Woo woo woo woo woo! Yin-yang, if you didn't come to save me, I would be finished! You're my savior! What books do you want to read in the future, I will give them to you for free! "
Lubbock was quite witty.
His personality was also the most exaggerated and obscene in the entire Night Raid. He was good at playing dead and liked to peep at his female companions bathing. He refused to change despite repeated warnings and had extremely strong willpower.
He reacted in an instant and cooperated with Ryuga to act.
Although he still couldn't figure out how the chaos had developed, and there were still a lot of questions lingering in his mind, none of these stopped his desire to escape from Esders.
"Friends? Just this kind of person? "
Esders glanced at Lubbock, who was hugging Ryuga's leg and crying crazily, and his eyes became subtle. "Forget it, as long as you're happy."
Although Ryuga was her vice-captain, the Jaegers had only been formed for a few days. Her relationship with Ryuga was not that good.
Her understanding of Ryuga all came from the ministers.
Ernest seemed to admire Ryuga very much and praised him as if he was rare in the world. He said that he was very good, often visited friends at night, not afraid of power, even dared to touch the generals under General Budo, and he was cautious in doing things. He would never let go of any suspicious signs and so on.
Esders didn't have a deep impression of Ryuga. In her eyes, Ryuga was the same as Roland. They were the kind of gentle people who were very suitable to be secretaries. Even Will's sense of existence was not comparable to him.
"Since the people have been saved, let's go back to the palace."
Esders waved her hand indifferently, then whistled, letting the Flying Dragon in the sky hover down and crawl at her feet. "Yin-yang, you come up too."
"Can I?"
Ryuga looked at Esders with some surprise. "Can I ride that dragon together?"
"You are my subordinate. Of course, it's no problem. Leva and the others have also sat on it before."
Esders was silent for a moment, then stood on the back of the Flying Dragon as if nothing had happened. "Anyway, I said it's no problem."
"Yes, Captain."
Ryuga agreed, then glanced at the green-haired boy who was holding her thigh and crying. "Lubbock, you …"
"I'm afraid of heights!"
Lubbock suddenly stopped crying very cleverly and quickly waved his hand. "Riding the Flying Dragon will kill people. I'll pass!"
In fact, he was a little afraid of heights.
"Hmph, my Flying Dragon can't be ridden by such a waste."
Esders glanced at Lubbock casually. "Yin-yang, you too. It's better to have less friends like this in the future."
Because Lubbock just hugged Ryuga and cried without saying anything, Esders seemed to think that he was a waste and not worthy of being friends.
"I'm sorry, Captain."
Ryuga lowered her head at the right time, then sat on the back of the Flying Dragon and sat behind Esders. The two immediately headed in the direction of the capital.
"Hoo …"
Lubbock breathed a sigh of relief, quickly left the top of the mountain and went to the foot of the mountain. Tatsumi fell from the beginning. He hoped that he didn't lose an arm or a leg.
But at the same time, his mind was filled with a lot of questions.
"That vice-captain, I'm afraid that he had been hiding behind the rock before Tatsumi and I went up the mountain. There is only one way up the mountain. Logically speaking, he should have discovered our identity of the night raid. In that case, why did he choose to let me go?"
"Moreover, does that guy have any grudges with the minister and his son? What does Shila mean when she said that even the minister was defeated by him? "
"The most important thing is, why did that guy lie in front of Esders? And he didn't expose my identity? Does he have any secrets that he doesn't want to be discovered by Esders? "
Countless doubts filled his mind, but he lacked the key clues to connect these doubts, causing his head to be groggy and unable to function normally.
"I'll tell Nagetta about this when I go back. Using my brain is really not my forte."
Lubbock slipped down the mountain quickly, so he didn't see —
In the sky.
A purple array of more than ten meters high suddenly unfolded in front of the Flying Dragon. The center was a huge tai chi yin and yang fish, and the outside was surrounded by eight trigrams, forming a very ancient formation.
The Flying Dragon couldn't dodge in time. Together with the two people on his back, he rushed directly into the purple formation and disappeared into the sky.
"Oh, well done, Shila."
Earnest stood in the distance, holding a telescope in his hand, stroking his big belly, and a triumphant smile appeared on his face.
"Although it's really not my intention to get General Esders involved, that woman is so powerful. It doesn't matter how she torments me. In this way, I can also solve the problem of my body with peace of mind."
Shila stood beside him, not saying anything.
The so-called 'calling Ryuga out was just a personal idea' was actually fake. He was instructed by the minister to threaten him with a letter to call him out.
The purpose was to send Ryuga away through his Teigu dimensional square array · Shangri-La, so that the minister could solve the poison in his body during this time.
The minister had found a way to solve it through alchemy.
