“I-intimate with other women… Hey, who do you think you are? Even if we do make a team, do you think this lady would get intimate with someone like you?” After listening to Lin Xiao"s explanation, Rosie stomped her feet and scolded.
“Eh…in any case, no.”
“Hmph, what an arrogant guy, then we wont team up! When you get in danger, I definitely won"t help you!” Rosie angrily stomped her feet. Without saying another word, she bluntly turned and walked away, her swaying pink ponytail was pretty cute.
Watching her figure from behind, Lin Xiao was really reluctant to reject this good opportunity to team up. He had to supplement a sentence.
“Don"t be angry, Miss, definitely invite me again next time! If you"re in danger, I"ll definitely help you!”
“Hmph, this lady doesn"t need your help! I won"t be in danger! Caesar will protect me!” Rosie said without turning around.
“I cant believe you forcibly raised a flag for yourself, I give you my respect.”
Lin Xiao realized that the butler Afu, who was always with Rosie, was not there. Although he was nothing special to look at, he was definitely a master. Not bringing that master along, I don"t know if Rosie was overconfident in her own abilities, was chasing the thrill, or for other reasons…
Looking at Rosie who went back and continued dragging Caesar while chatting happily, Lin Xiao suddenly understood something.
“Caesar will protect her?”
The princess has always been protected by a prince, but if there was a powerful butler, then the prince would not have a time to shine.
“Missy, how much do you like Caesar…” Lin Xiao shook his head, no longer paying attention about the team, packed his bags and sat on the small carriage with Elena, rumbling on towards Black Lake Forest.
On the way there, Lin Xiao and Elena remained honestly in the carriage. Elena was still as cold as ever, sitting quietly in the corner to enjoy the scenery along the way, like a delicate statue of a G.o.ddess. As for Lin Xiao, he racked his brains trying to think up of a way in order to let Caesar give up on the duel.
In fact, there was a very simple way —— which was to find an opportunity to ambush Caesar during the actual combat drill, cripple him, so that he was seriously injured; or simply design a plot and disguise it as a demonic beast trap, then directly kill him and end everything!
Kill Caesar?
“Peh, am I tired of living?” Lin Xiao ridiculed himself.
Don"t forget Caesar"s ident.i.ty, the fifth prince of Lombard Kingdom, although he wasn"t loved much in the family, he was even rumored to be an illegitimate child, but he was genuine royalty, even if Lin Xiao was a transmigrator, with innate talent, he currently didn"t have the strength to be an enemy to an entire kingdom.
Once he killed Caesar, the king was bound to investigate till the end, at that time no matter how many lives he has, it won"t be enough.
Taking a step back, even if he seriously injured Caesar, would the duel be cancelled? No, when Caesar recovers he"ll continue to cause trouble. As long as there was still unwillingness in his heart, as long as there was no victory or defeat, Caesar would continue to fight with him.
In other words, there was only one way to avoid a duel —— convince Caesar and make him give up on the duel voluntarily.
“G.o.d, to make that unicellular hot-blooded male give up voluntarily, to submit willingly? Who am I, am I the pirate king, or Naruto?” Lin Xiao mocked himself in his heart.
“You want to get rid of Caesar?” Elena seemed to have read his mind and asked.
“Oh… not really.”
To be honest, Lin Xiao was really reluctant to kill Caesar —— after all, the guy was a natural born hero, the perfect hero candidate, if he was dead, who else could be the hero? If he messed up, it might even fall onto his shoulders.
In order to realize his dream of being a reserve hero, Caesar can not die.
“If it"s not convenient for you, I can help you,” Elena suggested.
“How would you help? Aren"t you powerless?”
“As long as you help remove my seal, then I"ll help you get rid of Caesar.” She showed a rare smile.
“Forget it, Demon King. If I removed your seal, the first person you"ll get rid of is probably me.”
“…”
Her plan was seen through and Elena didn"t say anything. She glared at Lin Xiao, her cold expression seemed to say, it seems like this pervert knows that once I recover my strength, I"ll kill you sooner or later, and so on… and then she turned to look at the scenery.
For the remainder of the journey, the group never encountered any other large-scale demonic beast attack. Occasionally, a few ignorant demonic beasts met the group head on, they were all chopped up by Caesar.
However, the strange feeling in Lin Xiao was getting stronger and stronger.
How come there are so many demonic beasts encountering them?
“Hey, what did you know about the group of Green Wolves yesterday?” Lin Xiao couldn"t help but ask Elena. “If the wolves were planning to attack us, they wont foolishly meet us head-on. Today, teacher Woos even ordered us to form teams, I keep feeling that something"s wrong.”
“Not bad.” Elena, who has been reluctant to speak, finally stated her opinion, “It"s because they had no intentions of attacking us.”
“Those demonic beasts didn"t come to save you? The Demon King summoned demonic beasts to protect her… It seems very reasonable.”
“Are you an idiot? If I was able to do that, you would have already died a million times over.”
“Eh… then, does the lowly me still have the chance to get your forgiveness, dear Demon King?” Lin Xiao asked with a smile.
“No chance, scram.” Elena replied unhesitatingly.
“Sigh… okay, getting serious, if the wolves didn"t come to save you, why did they foolishly face us head on?”
“Yesterday, did you notice the wolves" claws?”
“Claws?” Lin Xiao thought for a bit.
When Elena was attacked yesterday, because of the close distance, she noticed a lot of strange black mud in the wolf"s claws. Later, she watched and observed that the other wolves" claws were also stained with black mud.
“That"s black clay unique to Black Lake Forest. That is to say, the Green Wolves place of residence was originally Black Lake Forest. Yesterday, they did not intend to attack us, but just wanted to follow the road to the north, they just happened to meet us.” Elena expressed her opinion.
Now that was an injustice, they were just pa.s.sing by yet were unfathomably exterminated, where would they go to find justice.
“So you"re saying that the Green Wolves that originally lived in Black Lake Forest left their place of residence, and as a group moved north… Why?” Lin Xiao asked.
“How would I know?”
“Aren"t you a Demon King? You definitely know the demon language, you should be able to communicate with them!”
“Then, you also know the human common language, can you communicate with the dead?” Elena sneered and asked.
“Ah? Oh… right.”
All the wolves were dead, who would Elena ask?
“Wait… Black Lake Forest isn"t that far from West Wind Town, right?” Lin Xiao suddenly thought of something.
“West Wind Town? If riding on a human carriage, you can arrive in 2 days. If it was a demon"s, it may be even faster.” While answering, Elena was also alerted of something.
A few days ago, there was a murder incident in West Wind Town. The murderer was said to be a high-level demon. Since it was a high-level demon with intellect, they definitely wouldn"t sit till and wait, no matter what their purpose was, after the deed was done they must escape.
It was not easy to escape from the Church.
The Forest of the End in the South was the home of the Demons. It was a natural judgment to flee south. But all the roads to the Forest of the End must have already been guarded by holy knights and soldiers of the kingdom. It would be extremely difficult to break through.
For the murderer, the best thing to do was going in the opposite direction and fee north! The northern part of West Wind Town was a large expanse of flat plain. There were roads in all directions and there were no mountain pa.s.ses and strongholds. That gave the highest probability of escaping from the Holy Church.
Black Lake Forest was located just north of West Wind Town. The environment was complex and inaccessible. It was an excellent hiding place. If Lin Xiao was the murderer, he would also choose to hide in Black Lake Forest.
“That is to say, the murderer hid in Black Lake Forest and occupied the Green Wolves territory. The group of Green Wolves were homeless, so they were forced to move north.”
“Most likely.” Elena nodded.
“There cant be that much of a coincidence, right? The murderer is hiding in Black Lake Forest, and we"re also going to Black Lake Forest?”
“Who knows.”
“Black Lake Forest, West Wind Town… That"s right Elena, Flowing Cloud Courier, the parcel delivery that you were sent in, also stayed in West Wind Town for two days, do you remember?”
“I remember… But what"s the relationship between these things?”
“Sigh, how do I know, I"m just an ordinary transmigrator…”
Speaking of this, Lin Xiao hung his head dispiritedly.
After talking for such a long time, not only did he not solve his problem, but more and more strange things popped out. He had a bad premonition that they will encounter even more trouble during the trip to Black Lake Forest——
Partic.i.p.ating in the actual combat drill, Lin Xiao"s goal was originally very low, as long as he successfully obtained the level evaluation, so that he can successfully get the qualification to partic.i.p.ate in the academy tournament, which was the most crucial step for him to become a reserve hero.
In addition, if he could use the actual combat drill as an opportunity to find ways to let Caesar give up the duel, it was also a good result.
However, Lin Xiao does not want to get involved with the demon race, the murderer, and the Holy Church! If he gets involved with them, he can say goodbye to his peaceful life! Especially with this Demon King next to him!
If possible, Lin Xiao wanted to kick Elena out of the car, throwing this time bomb on the road and no matter what continue to live the life of an ordinary person and find a way to find an ordinary girlfriend… but he couldn"t do it. Whether it was kicking Elena off or getting an ordinary girlfriend, he couldn"t do either.
The carriage was still moving forward.
The journey pa.s.sed quickly. On the second day and the third day, the team did not encounter a large-scale attack for two consecutive days, and the students" gradually relaxed.
Finally, on the third night, the team arrived at Black Lake Forest. However, no one could have thought that this was just the calm before the storm.
A few days ago, in the southern parts of Black Lake Forest, there was a battle of life and death ——
