Chapter 69: The Young Man and the Crow

  Three days later.

  County of Káfuva

  A young adventurer dressed in attire walked quietly on a desolate stone path.

  He wore ordinary armor that could be seen everywhere, a messy brown hair that seemed to have not been washed for many days, a pale complexion with obvious freckles, and calm eyes that were dull. Although it was not to the extent of being extremely ugly, at least he was not good-looking, and among the crowd, this young man was absolutely the most inconspicuous kind.

  Only the black sword hidden under the young man's backpack seemed to be finely crafted. However, from the heavily worn and bandaged hilt, it was just fine craftsmanship.

  The young man walked silently on the bumpy road, and as the sky gradually darkened, a town's outline finally appeared on the distant horizon.

  Tucker Town, the nearest town to Gran Tesoro.

  That was the first destination of the young man.

  At the same time, a small, pitch-black head suddenly poked out of the boy's backpack on his back, and then immediately let out a hoarse voice that sent chills down one's spine.

  "Woohoo, I'm so excited and moved! After blocking a sword for my beloved master, I didn't expect to be able to come out and play! Boss, let's hurry into town and find an inn, take down three or five of those blind thugs, and by the way, play a hero saving a beauty? I remember that's how adventures always start!" Crow Robin exclaimed excitedly.

  Midi very much wanted to tell this silly bird that he had already had a full twenty years of adventure experience, with all five flavors of sour, sweet, bitter, and salty. Now what he wants to do is just work hard to create a safe and stable paradise for himself and the people around him.

  But the words reached his lips and were immediately swallowed back. Because he remembered the black-haired girl's extremely cautious warning before she left - "Never lower your IQ to Robin's level, or you won't be able to come back."

  As a result, is it just this bird after all?

  Midi sighed in his heart, then rolled his eyes at the crow that had climbed onto his shoulder and was making a humming noise with its beak.

  One person, one bird, this is the final lineup for going to find the Elf King's Court inheritance.

  Fina left.

  To assemble a legion of the scale of the Hawk's Team, and not to let other nobles, especially the Iron-Blooded Duke, discover it, requires a strong and farsighted leader.

  Batra and Lott are old and wise, but they are not nobles after all. There is a layer of gauze in this matter, which is like looking at flowers in the fog. If Midie's father, Count Ingrman, had made an effort, he could have kept up with the Iron-Blooded Duke, but unfortunately, building an army involves many military details, and in this regard, Count Ingrman was unable to help.

  The one and only suitable candidate is none other than Bullet Queen, Fiona Hamilton.

  So Fiona left, with a strong sense of discontent and anger in her eyes.

  Alice also left.

  To add an institution like a magic laboratory in the legion, it is indispensable for the Fog Witch herself to take action.

  Moreover, the most important thing is that only when the Fog Witch sits in the Autumn Ancient City Villa can she truly drive this strategic-level magic array that covers two major earl territories.

  From a certain perspective, Alice is the true master of these two earldoms, while Fina and Middy are merely noble guests with elevated authority.

  Fina can also use the infinite magical power of the law array to cast magic bullets with boundless power, but that is her limit. Defense, perception, repair, all these rely on Eris' power. Only her existence can make the territory's defense level rise to an impregnable degree.

  And it is precisely what the rapidly developing Aslex family territory needs most in today's turbulent and sensitive times.

  So Alice stayed behind, though her eyes were full of cold accusation and loneliness.

  As for the troops, it is even more impossible to mobilize. It's not advisable for adventurers to be too many, this is a well-known iron rule, the bigger the team, the more people will stare at you.

  Moreover, making military movements during this sensitive period will undoubtedly attract the attention of countless nobles, just like the previous relocation of the five major spirit tribes, how many pairs of eyes are staring at, watching and speculating?

  As a result, it was clear that Mide could only go on the road alone in the rustling wind.

  Fortunately, the girls also seemed unwilling to accept this lonely farewell, so they added another silly bird for him.

  Of course, Crow Robin has undergone new improvements and can achieve ultra-long-distance communication functions with the infinite magic of the Autumn Ancient Castle Villa. According to Alice's words, even if they are separated by half of the Arad continent, they can communicate without any delay.

  Being able to understand the situation at any time, plus various rare tools, an army of 10,000 people who can be deployed at any critical moment, and two fully operational earl's domains as a backstop. At this moment, Miti has a calm feeling of hitting mosquitoes with cannons.

  But there's one thing that Meddy still doesn't quite understand: even if he has to disguise himself, why does he have to make himself look so ugly?

  "What if Middy really brings a woman back from outside, what to do?" Alice asked straightforwardly in the sunroom of the Qiugu Castle villa.

  "It's already come to this, it shouldn't be that bad, right? Besides, isn't that crow watching us? Fina said with her mouth, but her eyes showed a slight wavering of confidence. "And even if they really did bring it back, as comrades... we don't have any reason to interfere, probably..."

  "Really not?" A hint of disappointment flashed across Alice's eyes, "It seems that only in secret..."

  The raven-haired girl drew a slender and beautiful finger across her neck.

  The red-haired girl shook her head slightly, hesitated and didn't speak. Suddenly, her eyes lit up: "Maybe there's a way! After all, we're comrades-in-arms with Middy, so we should test the strength of our new companion, right? If he really brought back a woman, I'll personally test her to see if she can withstand my magic bullet."

  "By the way, let's have Ruby 'Rose Hound' test her magical standards as well." Alice added in a tone of approval.

  "Perfect." The Bullet Queen nodded, a hint of satisfaction rising at the corners of her mouth.

  "It's indeed perfect." The Fog Witch sipped a mouthful of red tea, her eyes relaxing.

  Hundreds of kilometers away, Mi Di suddenly felt a chill run down his back.

  Who is being missed?

  Isn't "Nightmare on Elm Street" Wes Craven already revived? How long has it been?

  Midi's eyes, which had been calm and dull for a moment, suddenly became sharp beyond compare.

  Just then, from a thicket near the stone road that wasn't particularly dense, a figure suddenly burst out at incredible speed, and immediately after, nearly thirty people followed close behind.

  The sky was still early, and Middy instantly saw that the person running in front of him was a girl with a very fast pace, holding a pair of handguns and occasionally turning back to fire. And the crowd behind her was undoubtedly the pursuers.

  The first few people in the pursuit team were all very tall and held huge tower shields, but their running speed was still very fast. Every time a gunshot sounded, they would skillfully and stably use their shields to block it, and after chasing for a while, the team of thirty people didn't even suffer any damage, obviously their shield skills were extremely proficient.

  At the same time, this team has already begun to divide its forces in two directions. A group of lean figures with speed are accelerating their run, apparently wanting to get around the double-barreled girl and catch her from the front.

  From a distance, it seemed like a startled rabbit and a pack of fierce hunting dogs.

  Midi let out a soft sigh.

  It's clearly an ambush, and not just any ordinary ambush. The team of thirty people is not only numerous but also looks like they have a good reason to be there, with the intention of capturing someone alive. There must be some valuable information on the Double Gun Girl.

  And it's probably related to Grantham.

  At this thought, Middy's eyes flashed for a moment, but in the end, he still chose to give up.

  After all, this is just an inference, and it's a waste of energy to get involved in such a struggle for such an unfounded inference.

  Midi is not a savior, he only protects those who are important to him.

  Moreover, time was running out. From the current turbulent situation to the civil war between the Queen's faction and the Parliamentarian faction, Mide didn't know how many more days he had to find the legacy of the Elf King Court.

  So he immediately decided to withdraw.

  But what left Mi Di speechless was that both the fugitive and the pursuer were running towards him.

  Obviously, the double gun girl found herself almost surrounded, and Middy was the only variable she could see within her sight, so the girl rushed over recklessly, just hoping to escape in the chaos.

  The pursuers seemed even more ruthless, and when they saw Mi Di, they had a tendency to split up and come over to kill him. Unexpectedly, the real prey also turned in this direction, so they simply expanded the encirclement circle by twice, with an unscrupulous attitude of wanting to devour both at once.

  "Boss, they've bullied us to the limit. If we keep tolerating this, I'm afraid even the town will be out of bounds." Robin whispered in Middy's ear with a heavy voice.

  But Mide could clearly hear a hint of joy hidden in the guy's tone.

  This stupid bird, how different it is from its previous life! How did it become so garrulous, so arrogant and so fond of finding trouble?

  Mǐ dí è rán.

  But he forgot one thing - if he hadn't become incredibly powerful, to the point where he could still be calm and composed in this situation, how could Crow Robin be so arrogant and warlike?

  However, at this point, Midei had indeed made up his mind to fight.

  Running away will only bring more trouble and endless pursuit.

  If you want to avoid wasting time, then the best choice at this moment is to rush up and kill.

  Then, turn around and wipe out all of these stupid and insignificant enemies who want to destroy themselves!

  As he thought so, a cold and unparalleled silver flame burst forth in Mide's eyes, and his entire demeanor transformed in an instant from an ordinary young man without any distinguishing features to a powerful being that exuded icy killing intent all over.

  In silence, the black long sword on his back had already been unsheathed.

  The sword's body was pitch black, and when the sunset shone on it, there was no reflection at all. It seemed as if it were a piece of darkness plucked from the night sky. But once you grasped the hilt, you could sense that its body was much heavier than it looked, even comparable to the weight of a giant sword!

  This is a top-grade weapon forged from Void Star Iron, named "Black Sky", and its greatest feature is that it is extremely durable, known as never wearing out.

  This is a weapon that can withstand Mide's "Extreme Will".

  This is the weapon given by Fiona.

  Then use your blood to dedicate this "Black Sky" and open its edge with a bloody sacrifice.

  Midi said so in his heart, then calmly drew his sword.
