In Luo Ya's memory, every time he shared a bed with Ai Lisi, it was a very troublesome experience. He had to think of all kinds of ways to avoid the girl's little tricks. When they woke up in the morning, it was already good enough that they hugged each other normally. Sometimes, she would even mess up her clothes, which gave Luo Ya a headache.
When he discovered this, the black-haired boy thought that the sun rose from the west, but when he recalled what Ai Lisi did last night, Luo Ya didn't feel that strange anymore.
He had to admit that this girl was very different from the usual girl. She was less playful, but more gentle as a woman. And it was this gentleness that made Luo Ya feel something special.
Thinking so, the boy stared at the sleeping girl, and for a moment, his heart was moved. At the same time, his heart was filled with gratitude towards the girl.
After a good night's rest, Luo Ya's spirit was refreshed, but even so, the boy didn't make any noise. Instead, he quietly got out of bed and silently walked out of the house.
"Well, don't go in first. Ai Lisi is still sleeping inside."
After talking to Anna at the door, Luo Ya didn't choose to eat breakfast first. Instead, he washed up and walked out of the mansion. He went to the backyard garden, then looked at the distant sky as if he was waiting for something.
Closing his eyes slightly, the black-haired boy in the garden silently waited while channeling his power. After the sun rose completely, a small figure flew across the sky and landed on the Akat mansion.
"This is …"
Although the [Spiritual Chick] was a moving target for powerful extraordinary individuals, it was quite difficult to catch in the natural world. Not only did it fly very fast, but it also didn't feel tired and wouldn't land. Most importantly, it had Xi Ya's scent.
In this world named after the Primordial Goddess Shiya, having Shiya's aura on one's body was equivalent to hugging the strongest thigh. Under normal circumstances, any creature in the natural world would subconsciously avoid it, even if it was a demon. Naturally, the [Spiritual Fledgling] would not be attacked.
Looking at this obvious trace, Luo Ya frowned deeply. No matter what, a creature that disrespected Xi Ya wouldn't be good. The appearance of this thing itself was a bad omen. But after sensing the result of the [Spiritual Chick]'s detection, the black-haired boy narrowed his eyes in confusion.
"A summoned creature of a cult? Or something else … "
Whether it was in Akat City or in the mountains and rivers, the situation of the curse was quite normal. The only thing that was different was the sky. The reaction of the curse was stronger than usual, but now was the time when it was easy to snow. Xi Ya's weather often gathered the curse power, so Luo Ya wasn't sure if there was something fishy going on.
Looking at the slightly gloomy sky in the distance, the black-haired boy slowly frowned. For a moment, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
The only exception was the Queen of Witches. As a witch, Altacia often floated in the air and was Luo Ya's main aerial combat force. But to get rid of the trouble and reconnect with Luo Ya, it would take time.
"Lord Luo Ya, the mission you gave us, we have completed it for now."
In Akkat City, which they were most familiar with, two days was more than enough for them to investigate suspicious people with the help of three Level 3 source-grade experts. It was a pity that Cynthia did not find anything either.
Hearing the report from Cynthia and the others, Luo Ya fell into silence for a while. But the black-haired boy wasn't surprised by this result. After all, Akat City was right under Luo Ya's nose. Any movement here would easily alert him. If Luo Ya was a cult member, he wouldn't have alerted him.
After thinking for a long time, the black-haired boy encouraged the Church of Fortitude and Church of Power who had worked for two days and two nights. Then, he asked Cynthia and the others to rest for a while to recover from the two days of work. After everyone left the room, Luo Ya carefully considered the current situation.
Without specific information about the enemy, naturally, he couldn't make any effective countermeasures, but it wasn't that he couldn't do anything.
The answer to this question had changed since ancient times. In ancient times, it was wood and branches, warm and dry land, and Xi Ya's blessing. But in today's human society, it was the approval of the sovereign country, sufficient funds and manpower, and the ability to protect.
Safety was the prerequisite for stability. This was an eternal truth, and the enchantment of the city was one of the things that was born for this reason. In the beginning of the third era, it could be said to be the artifact that protected mankind through the most difficult time. Akat City, as a city with a history of nearly a thousand years, naturally had this kind of citadel curse vessel.
"Well, at least in terms of individual items, there is nothing more valuable than the citadel curse vessel."
The enchantment of Akat City, let alone the new residents who came here in recent years, even Luo Ya himself hadn't really seen it. In fact, as the enchantment that could only be activated at the most critical moment when the city was attacked, the number of times it was activated in history could be counted with one's fingers, and the reason was very simple. One was that it was useless, and the other was the price.
There was almost no external war, and it was one of the foundations of the Theocracy for thousands of years. This kind of environment determined that the enchantments of various cities were mostly useless, and even gradually abandoned over a long period of time. Of course, Akat Hill was an exception.
Usually, the huge maintenance fee of the curse vessel was counted in the military budget, but every time it was activated, it required a lot of expenses. Every time it was activated, it would cost at least 100000 gold coins, and there was no upper limit. To be honest, with the economic strength of Akat Hill in the past, the territory was basically on the verge of bankruptcy.
Fighting with one's life on the battlefield might not necessarily lead to death, but once the enchantment was activated, one would really die of poverty.
However, if one were to ask if he was willing to part with it, then the answer was without a doubt. For the activation of the enchantment, Luo Ya, who had carefully planned for his whole life, was reluctant to part with it. If the current situation wasn't so bad, the black-haired young man would rather live on the city wall every night than let people fiddle with this thing.
“.....”
"This thing, the activation cost is …"
"Elder brother!"
150000 gold coins? 150000 gold coins to activate the enchantment?
Looking at the gloomy sky above his head, and looking at Ai Lisi and others who were looking at him worriedly, the black-haired young man's face was tangled for a long time. In the end, he chose to play it safe. After taking a deep breath, Luo Ya gritted his teeth and spoke again.
"Yes, sir."
Compared to the safety of the loved ones around him, money was just a worldly possession, and to some extent, the fortress curse vessel was also necessary.
After repeatedly thinking about the rationality of his thoughts, the black-haired young man's mood calmed down a lot. He turned around and looked at the fortress curse vessel on the eve of the activation. Luo Ya sighed softly and prayed that he could rely on this ancestral legacy to get through the most difficult days.
Feeling the [Crown]'s source substance in his body muttering to himself, the black-haired young man's face became more determined as he silently waited for the arrival of reinforcements.
In the Acat Hill of the St. Maester Theocracy, Luo Ya was preparing for war with the only information he had to resist the uneasiness in his heart. In the far east, in the St. Fran Fortress of the Kingdom of Knights, a knight in heavy armor looked out of the window, feeling strange about the inexplicable discomfort he felt recently.
To put it bluntly, this was an extreme world where the strong preyed on the weak. However, compared to other places, this was more cruel. The weak on the battlefield would lose their lives, and the strong would gain glory and praise. From the perspective of a race, the strong would gain the right to survive.
[Is it because of overwork? Or is it because of the pressure?]
Wilhelmina Cambernet, this name had spread far and wide in the human alliance army. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was like thunder in the ears.
Since that battle, Wilhelmina could be said to have become famous overnight. The soldiers of various countries on the frontline paid more attention to her, and she had become one of the three most famous female commanders in the east. She was often compared to the Austin Empire's Queen Lillian and the St. Maester Theocracy's Princess Nuo Aier.
"No, there are so few battles in the winter. It shouldn't be because of overwork. There's no pressure or anything."
"Well, there's no need to lie about this kind of thing."
“！”
It had been a year since the Challenger's Cup ended. In this one year, Wilhelmina's changes were incomparable to the changes in the past ten years. It involved her personality, appearance, strength, and other aspects. However, when talking about these changes, one person had to be mentioned, and that was Luo Ya.
Although the Dawn Order was a newly established organization, it was the result of Wilhelmina's hard work and hard work. However, in the face of Luo Ya's request to merge, the young lady agreed without any reservations and even took the initiative to give up her leadership rights.
It was fine for outsiders who didn't know Wilhelmina well, but for Theresa, as her elder sister, the changes were exceptionally obvious. Wilhelmina's thoughts were as clear as day. However, Wilhelmina had always been unwilling to admit it.
After a long silence, Miss Knight said these words in a low voice. Then, she stood up and tried to escape. Theresa sighed again, but this time, she did not choose to let Wilhelmina go. After thinking for a moment, Theresa raised the book again.
[Wait, what you're feeling, could it be related to him?]
