Move!

"Right."

Lu Xiu nodded. "Besides us, you're the only other person left here with this thing. Are you interested?"

"No----"

Shen Nian lowered her hand. "Look at this note. It says tracking, ambush, and termination. The Hunter is a synonym for patience." Do I look like the kind of person who has the patience to set up an ambush?

"This is just a note."

Lu Xiu laughed and said, "None of the system's notes are normal. The note for the skill you just got is a bit abnormal."

Shen Nian: "That can't be me, I'm not Chosen Player, I don't have any special skills----"

"I see. If you don't want to, then forget it."

Lu Xiu didn't press the issue and looked at Jian Li: "Let's see if there's anyone else suitable? Actually, we still don't know how this job change works; there's still too little information. Let's see if anyone is willing to be a guinea pig."

Then, quickly clarify whether the limit on the number of people eligible for the fifth job advancement includes other worlds like Prison Rock, or only the current world? Also, clarify the strength of the job's passive abilities, etc.

Upon hearing this, Shen Nian's beautiful eyes widened slightly. "So you want me to be your guinea pig?"

"Fool."

Lu Xiu patted her forehead. "Although it's an experiment, it's not like we're trying to scam you. This profession sounds powerful, and there are zero people who have reached the fifth job advancement. Do you think we'd let you suffer a loss? This is called keeping the good stuff in the family."

"----hey-hey."

Shen Nian was taken aback upon hearing this, then suddenly smiled brightly, as if she had thought of something.

Lu Xiu didn't know why she was happy, so she shook her head and ignored her.

She witnessed firsthand how Shen Nian transformed from a cautious and timid person into an optimistic and cheerful one.

I won't discourage her.

Being happy is all that matters.

Are you sure you don't want to?

Lu Xiu confirmed one last time. "Although this Profession Certificate isn't unique, it's foreseeable that it won't be easy to obtain one in a short time. After all, of the two of you, only Jian Li got the Profession Certificate after clearing the dungeon."

Shen Nian shook her head. "It's not that I'm unwilling, it's just that I don't feel suitable for it—besides, pioneering always feels like living in isolation, and I don't like that feeling."

"Alright, Shen Nian isn't happy either, let's ask the other members of the Strategy Group in the Coordination Bureau."

Lu Xiu looked at Jian Li and continued, "Of course, these are the items you obtained. You can decide how to use them."

Jian Li nodded slowly, then brought up the communication panel and sent a message to Yan Fushou.

But as soon as I opened the communication panel...

The message hasn't been sent yet.

Yan Fushou's message arrived first.

Jian Li was slightly taken aback, then set the communication panel to be visible to everyone and showed it to Lu Xiu.

Lu Xiu glanced at it. "?"

Jade Capital.

front.

Another Monster Tide has arrived, filling the front lines with a thick stench of blood that seems unlikely to dissipate anytime soon.

Fully armed, Lü Ge leaned against a bunker, knife in hand, his gaze sweeping across the distant defensive line.

The front lines at this time were completely different from the meat grinder battlefield he remembered.

--

High Sequence players swarmed the front lines, their dazzling skills flashing across the battlefield. The Monster Tide that once required frontline soldiers to sacrifice their lives to fill the gaps during the most difficult times had now become highly sought-after material sources in the eyes of these players.

It was instantly killed the moment it showed its face, and then it was torn to pieces.

It was a one-stop kill spree for the Undertaker.

This not only significantly reduced the pressure on ordinary frontline soldiers.

The Patrollers like Lü Ge, who were originally tasked with plugging holes, now have much less of a workload; they only need to deal with the Variant Monster.

It wasn't that simple before.

It's common for them to be constantly on the run during Monster Tide.

But even with all the efforts, many problems remain unresolved and ultimately require human lives to fill.

Witnessing a teammate die right in front of you is a truly unpleasant experience.

But now.

This will not happen again.

At least it won't happen again now.

Thinking of this...

Looking at the noisy High Sequence players, Lü Ge suddenly felt a little dazed.

He had never seen anything like this since the World Gamification.

Even when it was first gamified, when everyone was united in their efforts, the pressure was still considerable.

Lü Ge is a firsthand witness, so he has a lot to say about this.

I've never felt so relaxed before.

And this was simply because the Architect had made a trip to Jade Capital—

Not only that.

I heard it from my comrades.

That Miss Lu not only secured rest time for all the brothers on the front lines, but recently she even created a high-difficulty dungeon specifically tailored for them—I think it's called Left 4 Dead.

Because he has been on duty at the front lines, Lü Ge hasn't had a chance to go yet.

But according to the comrades who have already been there, the dungeon is very interesting. Although the process is grueling, it is also very fun. Moreover, it is said to effectively relieve stress. Many people said that after clearing it for the second time, they felt relaxed all over.

This is partly because the rewards are really generous.

On the other hand, it's also because pent-up negative emotions have been released.

Anyway, Lü Ge himself saw that many of his comrades had smiles on their faces after clearing the game.

Lü Ge was very interested in the dungeon.

He planned to check out the dungeon as soon as he had a break.

What kind of Astera or equipment?

Actually, Lü Ge didn't quite understand.

Being on the front lines is already exhausting enough.

He knew it.

This place, which was originally filled with despair and where people were dying every day, was completely transformed because of one person.

----A ray of light finally appeared in those dark and hopeless days.

I really hope life can continue like this forever.

Lü Ge leaned against the wall, unable to stop thinking.

but.

soon.

"Xiao Ge!"

The voice of the team leader, a tall veteran, suddenly rang out.

Lü Ge immediately straightened up, and the melancholy on his face vanished instantly.

"A Variant Monster at eleven o'clock."

Lü Ge looked over and saw a Variant Monster, the size of a wolf and covered in hard bone spurs, leaping over obstacles and approaching the front line from the ruins less than thirty meters away.

He seemed to have noticed Lü Ge's gaze.

It stopped abruptly, arched its back slightly, and growled warily.

"Outflank."

The captain grabbed his weapon and was the first to charge forward.

"Receive."

Lü Ge and his teammate exchanged a glance, their muscles tensing, and shouted back at the same time before charging towards the Variant Monster's left and right sides respectively.

soon.

The war has begun.

Although the three of them didn't fight as fast or smoothly as Lu Xiu, the soldiers who became Patrollers on the front lines were all quite capable.

Defeating the Variant Monster shouldn't be a problem.

After a fierce battle lasting about ten minutes...

Lü Ge lunged forward, his blade flashing with a cold light, and sliced open the Variant Monster's throat.

With its comrades following closely behind, the Variant Monster's health finally reached zero. It collapsed, twitching twice before falling silent.

After calming his breathing, Lü Ge prepared to sheathe his sword and begin collecting materials.

But suddenly, he stopped moving.

The moment the monster fell to the ground, a ball of light suddenly flew out of its body and hovered in mid-air.

There seemed to be a sign in the light.

This is something that has never happened before when killing monsters on the front lines.

"Report: Something is amiss."

Lü Ge shouted.

The other two Patrollers also noticed it.

The three Patrollers exchanged a glance.

The captain immediately brought up the communication panel and began reporting.

Lü Ge then approached the ball of light and cautiously extended his hand.

The moment he touched the ball of light, it vanished, and at the same time, an ancient-looking plaque fell into his palm.

"----Can monsters on the front lines drop loot?"

Lü Ge was stunned for a moment, and the other two Patrollers were also somewhat taken aback.

The three exchanged glances again, and finally the captain said, "Let's take a look."

Lü Ge immediately displayed the detailed panel of the prop.

[Item Name: Profession Certificate - Hundred-Battle Soldier (First Job Advancement)]

[Rating: Mythical (Class Advancement Certificate)]

[Type: Special Function]

[Item Effect: Upon use, this will unlock an exclusive single-player job advancement dungeon. Successfully clearing the dungeon will grant the [Hundred-Battle Soldier] class, along with exclusive passive and active skills. For Chosen Player with innate talent skills, their original talent skills will also change after successful job advancement.]

[Note: This certificate is not unique, so multiple players can change jobs for this class. This class can undergo a maximum of ten job changes. After a first Profession Certificate is used, the next Profession Certificate will appear, and so on. However, only one player can change jobs ten times. Once a tenth-job change player appears, unless they die, others can only change jobs a maximum of nine times. In addition, killing a tenth-job change player will immediately grant a tenth-job change. The current tenth-job change players for this class are: Chang Huo and Ji (Sequence 110)]

[Peak Maxim: Brother, take my advice, don't choose a trash profession—of course, if you're stubborn, then pray you don't run into me.]

[Acquisition Method: Extremely low probability drop when clearing multiplayer dungeons or defeating monsters on the main stage of the game.]

[Note: Only those who survive a hundred battles are true warriors.]

Lü Ge looked up abruptly at the description on the panel, his face filled with disbelief.

The captain wasn't much better off; after a long pause, he suddenly realized what was happening. "Report it immediately!"

Half an hour later.

Astera, three stories.

Yan Fushou and Li Shengkai arrived in Jade Capital via teleportation through the Bonfire.

In addition, Zhou Zhenyue and Chu Huai also came.

certainly.

Lu Xiu and the other two were also there, and two Profession Certificate were placed on the table.

That's right.

The item Yan Fushou just sent to Jian Li was the Profession Certificate of Hundred-Battle Soldier.

Unexpected.

Today, Jian Li just obtained the Pioneer Hunter through the dungeon, and the Frontline Patrollers dropped a Hundred-Battle Soldier from Variant Monster.

Is this a probability adjustment? Or just good luck?

Lu Xiu stared at the Profession Certificate on the table, lost in thought.

"Don't any of you three want to switch to the Pioneer Hunter class?"

At this moment.

After Yan Fushou finished his discussion with Zhou Zhenyue and the others, he looked at Lu Xiu and asked her a question.

"All three of us felt it was inappropriate."

Lu Xiu came back to her senses and looked at Yan Fushou: "And after reading the Hundred-Battle Soldier, I am even more certain, because it is obvious that the peak of each profession is different. One is at the fifth level and the other is at the tenth level. It seems that the latter is more powerful - the fifth level seems so weak."

","

Upon hearing this, Yan Fushou glanced at Shen Nian and Jian Li beside him, who also looked on with agreement, and his lips twitched.

That's so capricious!

This is something countless players would kill for.

The three of them, however, were disgusted.

However, they seem to have the right to be willful—the three of them have a good relationship.

With Lu Xiu around, there will definitely be more multiplayer dungeons in the future. Continuously clearing Lu Xiu's dungeons will surely yield even better Profession Certificate.

This is too normal.

But...

"You should have noticed the proverb on the Profession Certificate Hundred-Battle Soldier, right?"

Yan Fushou advised, "It's obvious. Many professions are shared by the entire world. It's possible that the top spots for most professions have already been taken. For example, right now, the players who occupy the top ten positions have already broken the hundred-sequence limit—but the top spot for the Pioneer Hunter profession is completely blank. This is clearly a new profession."

No one knows what the consequences will be of switching to the Hundred-Battle Soldier, but there are absolutely no such worries about switching to the Pioneer Hunter.

"I know."

Lu Xiu nodded. "But we can't just choose something because we think it's safe—we also need to consider whether it's suitable."

"All right."

Upon hearing this, Yan Fushou thought for a moment and then decided not to try to persuade him further.

It feels like I could find better Lu Xiu anytime.

Are you interested in Hundred-Battle Soldier?

Yan Fushou then glanced at Jian Li and Shen Nian, adding, "And you two too. General Zhou's intention is to have the Strategy Group members change their class first."

"My idea is to let you top players use this system first to enhance your strength. After all, the front line is only responsible for stopping the Monster Tide, and the enhancement brought by soldier class change doesn't seem to affect the overall situation."

General Zhou then spoke up, "But you are different. When encountering events like the last one, where top players need to charge into battle and fight one-on-one, your job change should give you a significant advantage."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiu suddenly said, "No, I think we could consider having frontline soldiers promoted to Hundred-Battle Soldier."

Upon hearing this...

Everyone looked at Lu Xiu.

Lu Xiu met everyone's gaze and continued, "Based on my experience of clearing dungeons and outsmarting the system—no, based on my understanding of the system, many things it provides, often reveal all the information in their names, and the environment in which they are given also has its own significance."

The name "Hundred-Battle Soldier" combined with the location revealed—the answer might be right there in the riddle itself. This profession might be born for war; if that's true, then it's not just a matter of limited enhancement.

Upon hearing Lu Xiu's words...

Zhou Zhenyue frowned slightly. "Miss Lu means that the core mechanics of this profession might be related to large-scale battlefields or legions?"

"It's possible, but I'm just guessing right now. You'll have to try it out for yourselves."

Lu Xiu replied, "The name 'Pioneer Hunter' sounds like someone who works alone and explores unknown territories, but the word 'soldier' naturally implies a collective attribute. What kind of environment can forge Hundred-Battle Soldier? Only the battlefield, right?"

Everyone present was intelligent, and they instantly understood Lu Xiu's meaning.

Zhou Zhenyue's brows relaxed. "That makes sense. I was just prejudiced."

Yan Fushou nodded and looked at Li Shengkai: "Then let the people at the front use it?"

I have no objection.

Li Shengkai shook his head. "Once you've confirmed your candidates and submitted them, we'll conduct the necessary review, and then they can be used."

Zhou Zhenyue looked directly at Chu Huai: "Then let's go with Chu Huai."

Chu Huai wasn't too surprised to hear this, and simply nodded.

Li Shengkai and Yan Fushou, both from the Coordination Bureau, had no objections.

Lu Xiu didn't have any either, but she looked at Chu Huai and said, "----Could you please give me a copy of the dungeon I entered after the job change, as well as information about what happened after the job change?"

"Good."

On the other side.

Yan Fushou checked the user of one of the Profession Certificate, then looked at Lu Xiu again. "What about the remaining Pioneer Hunter?"

Lu Xiu asked curiously, "Does the Strategy Group have suitable candidates?"

Yan Fushou: "It's hard to say, I need to think about it carefully."

"Then think it over carefully, but you should ask Jian Li for her opinion."

Lu Xiu said directly, "I'm not from the Coordination Bureau, and I don't know who's suitable."

Yan Fushou looked at Jian Li standing next to her and fell silent.

He always felt that if he asked Jian Li, Jian Li would directly say that she would listen to Lu Xiu.

So in the end Yan Fushou didn't ask.

I just feel a little heartbroken.

The Coordination Bureau daughter, I don't know what's wrong with her lately.

Suddenly he stopped going home----

"All right."

Yan Fushou suppressed the inexplicable emotions in his heart and looked at Lu Xiu again. "There's one more thing. The soldiers on the Frontier just sent word that the people from Red Tide, Franca, and Canaan have officially contacted us. They want to send an envoy to Nine Provinces."

"Oh?"

Lu Xiu was somewhat surprised to hear this and said, "That's a good thing."

She extended her fair finger and pointed to the Profession Certificate on the table. "It's a good opportunity to talk to them, to find out if they have obtained Profession Certificate, and what kind of Profession Certificate they have. This is all information. It's abnormal that we've hardly communicated before, even though we're in the same world."

But why are you telling me all this? I'm not a high-ranking official.

Oh, I see—you want to give them a hard time, right? You want me to make a set of armor using my Deconstruction skill? Then you'd better clear the Monster Hunter dungeon quickly and farm the materials for me so I can make it.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to make it either. As long as you provide enough materials, I'll immediately make you several sets of the Odogaron Set, so you can stand on the Frontier and intimidate outsiders."

to be honest.

Lu Xiu was getting a little anxious; she also wanted to make herself a set of equipment.

The people at the Coordination Bureau are so slow at getting things through.

Although Jian Li and Shen Nian helped her collect a lot of materials.

However, the Fatalis Set still lacks materials.

Forget about the Fatalis Set, we can't even make parts for the Alatreon.

Upon hearing this, Yan Fushou looked at the girl before him and sighed deeply.

Does this girl even realize how important everything she's done really is?

Let alone those department heads.

Her opinions were even comparable to those of the head of the Coordination Bureau.

Li Bao is one of the 17 people in the highest decision-making level—but because the Coordination Bureau is so important and special, the position of director has always been a high-ranking position, which is why he concurrently serves as the director.

Therefore, Lu Xiu was absolutely qualified to know such information.

She said it was a show of force—

Although it does sound quite appealing----

Yan Fushou rubbed his temples. "The Strategy Group is already working hard—we'll notify you as soon as we can farm materials on a large scale. But I'm not saying this for that reason. I'm just informing you and asking if you have any opinions?"

"Opinion?"

Lu Xiu pointed to herself and said, "Kill them all!"

Yan Fushou: "----"

"Just kidding."

Lu Xiu smiled and said, "What opinion could I possibly have? If they come with malice, just kick them out. If they come with goodwill, let's make friends. Although the last arena battle was fought individually, who knows, one day the whole world might be facing the same enemy together."

By then, it will be too late to build trust.

Yan Fushou nodded slowly.

This is actually the current consensus.

When guests arrive, treat them well.

But if not—then the whip will be used.

"There's one last thing."

Yan Fushou noticed that Lu Xiu didn't seem very interested in this matter, so he didn't dwell on the topic of the delegation. Instead, he changed the subject and his expression became serious again.

Is there anything else?

Lu Xiu said helplessly, "Is this matter definitely related to me?"

"This time I'm absolutely certain."

Yan Fushou nodded, then hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "The changes in the Witch Forest are getting more and more serious."

Upon hearing this name...

Lu Xiu paused slightly.

Jian Li and Shen Nian, who were standing nearby, also looked over.

Yan Fushou continued, "After you left, everything was normal at first, and the guards didn't notice anything wrong. But today, the area affected by the anomaly suddenly started to expand rapidly."

Moreover, the previously harmless monsters that used to roam around have started to show aggression. Although they are not strong, we now have to be careful when teleporting around the Bonfire. Most importantly, the soldiers said they saw the phantom images of NPCs they had never seen before. One of them was an adult woman whom the soldiers did not recognize.

But the other little girl with purple hair seems to be the Witch in the dungeon.

This is also the main reason why I came here in person—the area of Witch Forest has now almost exceeded the size of the original abandoned neighborhood, and it is still slowly expanding outwards.

I'd like to ask, is this normal? Will it spread outwards? Won't it turn the entire Chen Capital into Witch Forest?

"This is definitely not normal."

Lu Xiu had been completely bewildered since Yan Fushou spoke, and upon hearing this, she immediately stood up. "No, you should have said something so important earlier! What 'envoy'? I need to go back immediately!"

That's all.

Lu Xiu then prepared to tidy up.

Do you know why?

Yan Fushou looked at Lu Xiu, who had suddenly become decisive and efficient, and was also somewhat bewildered. "Isn't everything there under your control?"

"----The key figure might be about to emerge."

97

Lu Xiu left after saying that.

Jian Li and Shen Nian exchanged a glance and quickly followed.

Half an hour later.

Chen Capital, Changfeng Road, formerly an abandoned residential area.

The Witch Forest.

Amidst the drifting sparks of the Bonfire.

Lu Xiu and her companions appeared in the forest.

The surrounding scenery was still familiar; the primeval forest, with its slightly eerie atmosphere, was silent and still, and the Witch's House in the very center still stood quietly.

The scenery was very familiar.

However, a bunch of NPCs from the Witch's House have appeared around.

Headless statues, giant teddy bears, Transparent Chef —they wander around nearby, looking extremely restless.

And then they saw so many people suddenly appear in the forest.

They did indeed show some malice.

only.

Lu Xiu landed gracefully.

As if sensing something, the NPCs, whose eyes had turned red and were about to pounce, instantly reverted to their doll forms, and the statues and other objects froze instantly.

Motionless.

Yan Fushou was stunned when he saw this scene, then suddenly realized what was happening and turned to look at Lu Xiu, who was standing prettily beside him.

Lu Xiu ignored him and immediately closed her eyes to sense it.

After confirming that the entire forest was still under control.

She opened her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

----As long as it's not out of control, that's fine.

She was genuinely afraid the forest would spiral out of control.

Who knows how outrageous the mutation will be?

It's possible that the entire Chen Capital could really turn into Witch Forest.

But just as she breathed a sigh of relief, without warning, the phantom of a purple-haired girl suddenly appeared in front of her.

She opened her arms as if to embrace Lu Xiu, and rushed straight towards her.

only.

Before she could hug Lu Xiu, her figure passed right through Lu Xiu's body and vanished instantly.

"You're finally back----"

Immediately afterwards.

A muffled sound rang out.

It was like an auditory hallucination.

But it was too quiet around them, and everyone present was no ordinary person; they could all hear clearly.

In an instant.

Yan Fushou, Li Shengkai, Jian Li, and Shen Nian all couldn't help but turn their heads, their gazes all fixed on Lu Xiu.

Lu Xiu turned her head away. "Don't look at me! This NPC is having problems, it's not my fault."

"No."

Shen Nian looked suspicious. "We didn't say it was any of your business, why are you acting guilty?"

Lu Xiu: "Why would I feel guilty? I was just admiring the scenery."

Yan Fushou asked, "Then why is your face red?"

"Looking refreshed!"

Lu Xiu gave him a slight glare. "Why ask so many questions?"

Everyone:

Confirmed.

Lu Xiu must have done something to the key figures in the instance.

However, seeing Lu Xiu's anger, the others didn't press the matter further.

Needless to say, Li Shengkai and Yan Fushou were both glared at.

Although Shen Nian and Jian Li were curious, they didn't want Lu Xiu to lose face.

"I'll go check out the surroundings first, wait for me."

Lu Xiu noticed that the way they were looking at Zi Ji was still strange, and it was hard to say what Zi Ji had done in the Witch Instance.

Let's just say we're going to investigate.

And she really needed to investigate.

Although Lu Xiu knew that this anomaly was most likely related to Viola and Ellen, he was still unclear about the extent of the disturbance.

And did the effectiveness of "carrying water" become useless so quickly?

As she pondered this, she looked in one direction.

The next second.

Lu Xiu's figure vanished in an instant.

Now she's quite skilled at it; as long as she's in the instance's designated area, she can go wherever she wants without even needing to close her eyes.

Hai watched helplessly as Lu Xiu disappeared.

Li Shengkai was stunned. Although he knew what was going on, he was still shocked.

He couldn't help but lean closer to Yan Fushou, then said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Shrinking Earth to Inches, Worlds Apart Within Arm's Reach the earth in an instant—although I know this only applies to the dungeon's mutation area, to be honest, Old Yan, in some ways— Lu Xiu really is quite like the Deity."

Yan Fushou looked at the eerie forest that had instantly become docile in Lu Xiu's land and nodded silently.

really.

Perhaps this is the Architect's final destination?

Fortunately, Lu Xiu was on Jiu Yao's side.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

On the other side.

Lu Xiu's figure appeared like a ghost in various locations within the Witch Forest.

As they explored more and more places, Lu Xiu's delicate eyebrows furrowed deeper and deeper.

The area that had expanded so dramatically was far more exaggerated than she had imagined. What had originally only covered the abandoned neighborhood was now engulfing two streets on its perimeter, and it didn't seem to be stopping there.

Although her expansion stopped after she appeared in the forest.

However, judging from the surrounding signs, since she hadn't returned, the Lin Yi been expanding and was now approaching the Chen Capital City.

and.

During the brief exploration.

She encountered Viola and Ellen's phantom images several more times.

These two core characters, who originally had a blood feud in the dungeon, displayed surprisingly similar phantom appearances.

As soon as he saw Lu Xiu, he would immediately pounce on her.

Lu Xiu looked at the purple-haired girl's phantom that passed through her body again, feeling somewhat helpless.

She looked toward the center of the forest.

Then, in the next second...

She reappeared before everyone.

"No."

Just a moment ago.

Before anyone could ask, Lu Xiu said directly, "The Witch Forest can no longer be located in the city."

Upon hearing this, Yan Fushou's expression turned serious. "----What's wrong? Is the situation bad?"

"The mutation is spreading too quickly; its edges are almost reaching the city's main roads."

Lu Xiu shook her head. "And the key figures—never mind, let's just move this forest to the Frontier."

You guys choose a suitable location, and I'll move the whole thing there as soon as possible. Otherwise, it's too dangerous to leave it in this densely populated area; it won't work on the front lines."

The appearance of the two core figures of the General Affairs Bureau, who seemed to be dead.

Yan Fushou asked, "Can you move it?"

"Um."

"----Okay, please wait a moment."

Yan Fushou a sigh of relief, then immediately went to the side and brought up the communication panel.

It seems they were quite worried even before informing Lu Xiu.

Less than ten minutes.

Yan Fushou returned. "Is this location alright?"

He opened the map and pointed to a location.

Lu Xiu glanced at Yi Hai and said, "Okay, this will do."

That's perfect.

Yan Fushou laughed and said, "Ren Chao and the Franca delegation squeezed in from this direction. Just like you said, we'll give them a good beating in the head—"

Lu Xiu: "----?"

At the same time.

Franca.

Rosalind looked at the Guard who had given the report before midnight, "The delegation departs tomorrow?"

"That's right, Your Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Okay, then I'll prepare to hand over my work."

Rosalind nodded, then looked out the window and murmured, "I wonder how they'll treat us in Nine Provinces— "
