Chapter 546

"This... this is the first time I've heard of it."

Relli looked at Luo Mio and asked.

"Bianca, what about you?"

Luo Mio shrugged at this.

"For me, understanding this kind of thing doesn't help me much."

After hearing Luo Mio's words, Relli nodded.

"Too."

Then Relli looked at Lux and Airi and said.

"The purpose of showing it to you is so that you can take it away."

"Huh?"

After a moment of silence, Relli finally spoke.

"You'll find out about this in a few days."

After talking with Lux and Airi for a while, Luo Mio also spoke to Relli.

"Giving them the flute was probably in the hope that they could find a way to resolve the power of the 'Phantom Beast' within Philphi in the ruins."

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Relli couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.

"You're as perceptive as ever."

"Yes, I did have my own selfish reasons for giving them the flute."

Luo Mio glanced at Relli, then turned her gaze back to look at the departing figures of Lux and Airi.

——

Then, on the evening of the second day.

Luo Mio, Lux, and Kurokushifa stood at the school gate, talking.

Upon hearing Lux's words, Luo Mio narrowed her eyes slightly and then asked.

"You said... you were attacked on your way back?"

Kurokushifa also explained to Luo Mio that she had asked Lux to act as her lover for the day and accompany her on her date.

However, on their way back, they were attacked by unknown assailants.

Fortunately Luo Mio and Kurokushifa were not ordinary students, but rather Dragoknight with 'Divine Machine Dragon' who could stand alone and easily subdued their opponent.

It is also said that Lisha and Philphi followed Lux and Krulshif during their "date," and fortunately, they took action and subdued them in one fell swoop.

Lux and Kurokushifa both nodded at the same time.

Then Lux continued.

"Moreover, the opponent is using an enhanced version of the Wyvern used during the Old Empire era."

Luo Mio lowered her eyes slightly and pondered for a moment before speaking to Lux.

"You guys go back first, I'll talk to Relli."

"I see."

After glancing at Lux as he left, Luo Mio's gaze quietly fell on Kurokushifa.

Although it wasn't obvious, Luo Mio knew that Kurokushifa's eyes were filled with a very clear look of worry, but she quickly concealed it.

"..."

After giving Kurokushifa a deep look, Luo Mio turned her gaze away and left.

——

Then, the next morning.

Lux and the members of the Knight Order's gathered in the lounge of the Training Ground.

When Lux and the members of the Knight Order's went inside, they found Luo Mio, who had been waiting for a long time.

Sensing the arrival of everyone, Luo Mio slowly opened her eyes and looked at Lux and the others.

Upon seeing Luo Mio, Lux and Lisha both showed expressions of great surprise.

Tirfa asked, even more puzzled.

"Teacher Bianca?"

Luo Mio replied calmly.

"Because you are going to the 'Sixth Ruins - The Little Garden' near Crossfield, the dangers inside and outside of it far exceed those of your previous expedition to hunt the Divine Beasts. Given the lessons learned from that experience, Relli has asked me to accompany you and protect you."

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Tirfa and some of the Knight Order taught by Luo Mio breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, they knew Luo Mio's strength all too well. Taking down a phantom beast with a single punch or a spear was no problem at all, and even taking on more than thirty gargoyles was a piece of cake.

But Luo Mio glanced at Tirfa and the others indifferently, and then spoke.

"Just a heads up, the premise of ensuring your safety is that you don't encounter any mythical beasts that can unilaterally slaughter you. Otherwise, I won't take action."

"Huh???"

After hearing Luo Mio's words, Tirfa also looked miserable and said to Luo Mio.

"But..."

Before she could finish speaking, Luo Mio glanced at her and interrupted her, saying, "But what? As my student, if you can't even handle this little thing, you can drop out of school tomorrow."

Luo Mio's words instantly made Tirfa's face fall, and she hugged Nokote beside her and complained.

"Teacher Bianca, you can't compare us to you."

The other female students standing nearby all nodded in agreement.

Luo Mio said calmly, "Do you remember what I told you before? Besides you, I have another student."

"She has a team, which consists of her teammates, who can also be considered my juniors."

"Each of them is strong enough to kill a gargoyle instantly."

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Tirfa was so surprised that she displayed a slightly exaggerated expression.

"Teacher Bianca, what country are you from...?"

Faced with Tirfa's question, the others also showed very curious expressions, while Luo Mio simply smiled slightly.

"You guess."

At that moment, Legri appeared outside the door on the other side.

After seeing that everyone had arrived, Legri nodded to Luo Mio.

He then addressed Lux, Lisha, and the members of the 'Three Harmonies' and 'Knight Order'.

"The objective of this mission is to defeat the large mythical beast 'Colossus' that is lurking near the ruins, and to subsequently investigate the interior of the 'Sixth Ruins: The Small Garden'."

"Sixth Ruins: The Small Garden".

If any of the seven ancient ruins discovered worldwide are located within the territory of a country, then the investigation of these ruins is generally carried out by the country with that territory. However, for ruins located in locations where national territory is ambiguous, such as along the border, the investigation will be decided through a joint Dragoknight battle between the countries, and the winner will gain the right to investigate the ruins.

Within the territory of the New Kingdom of Artysmart, there are three ruins!

These are the "First Ruins - Tower", the "Third Ruins - Ark", and finally the "Sixth Ruins - Small Garden".

Luo Mio heard from Relli Li that the "First Ruins Tower" is located on the border of the New Kingdom. Just like its name, it extends from the border, breaks through the clouds, and stands straight up.

The "Third Ruins - Ark" is a ship-shaped ruin that resembles a giant fish floating in the open sea, located on the Sea Domain of the New Kingdom.

The "Sixth Ruins - Small Garden" that Luo Mio's students are now heading to is a ruin that appeared near Crossfield.

Luo Mio narrowed her eyes slightly after hearing Legri's words.

'Investigation... The Sixth Ruins: The Small Garden...'

At this moment, a wry smile appeared on Legri's face as she spoke.

"First of all, it was actually at her own request that Classmate Kurokushifa, participate in this operation. So, when carrying out the mission, everyone doesn't need to give her any special consideration; just treat her as one of the members."

Upon hearing this, the entire 'Knight Order' displayed expressions of utter shock.

Because they all knew that as a student of the Yumir Theocracy, Krulshfa should not be allowed to participate in any investigations of ruins or dangerous missions under the orders of the Yumir Theocracy.

But this time...

However, they voluntarily investigated the ruins.

Just then, a noble young man with an elegant and arrogant demeanor walked into the room.

Upon seeing this figure, Kurokushifa and Risha both narrowed their eyes.

"How did this guy get here?"

Hearing Lisha's soft murmur, Luo Mio also looked over.

"Let me introduce myself, instructor. You don't need to go to all that trouble."

The man spoke, his tone extremely arrogant, his attitude hypocritical, and as if he were making a mountain out of a molehill.

"My name is Bozelido Chloecha. I am the eldest son of Chloecha, one of the Four Great Noble Families. I also serve as the assistant to the lord of the Haibug region. Two years ago, I graduated with top honors from the Dragoknight Officer School."

"Regarding this investigation of the ruins and the extermination of the 'Phantom Beast,' I believe I can be of help to you all, so I have submitted a request for permission to enter your school."

Bozelido Chloecha scanned the women in the room, and when he saw Lux and Lisha, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Then, when she glanced at Luo Mio, who was standing against the wall in the corner of the room, her eyes flickered slightly and a hint of color appeared.

His eyes were filled with amazement and... desire as he looked at Luo Mio.

Chapter Fifteen: "The Sixth Ruins - The Small Garden"

He was the eldest son of the Chloecha family, one of the Four Great Noble Families that existed in both the Old Empire and the New Kingdom eras.

What kind of woman has Bozelido Chloecha never seen?

Even Celestia, the strongest student in the Royal Military Academy and the daughter of House of Duke Langlis, could only attract his attention with her beauty. As for Lisha, the first Princess and the eldest daughter of House of Count Enfolk of the Yumir Theocracy, his fiancée Kurokushifa could only barely arouse his interest.

In his heart, he had always only ever regarded Kurokushifa as a tool.

But now, the woman standing before him has completely unlocked the switch that controls the desire in his heart.

His long, light golden wavy hair was tied into a single ponytail, which looked very refreshing and hung down his back. The coral color at the ends of his hair further aroused his 'body'.

Her crystal-clear, deep blue eyes were like a clear spring; when she looked at me, it was as if a basin of clear water had washed away all the grime on my body.

Her calm and aloof demeanor ignited a desire in him to conquer her.

Her perfect, exquisite face, coupled with her mature figure that constantly stirred his heart, forced Bozelido to admit that he wanted to conquer the woman before him and make her completely his possession.

"..."

On the other side, Luo Mio noticed Bozelido's eyes and narrowed her own eyes slightly.

Bozelido realized what was happening, coughed lightly, and asked Legri.

"Instructor, may I ask who this gentleman is...?"

Legri also glanced at Bozelido with a subtle look in her eyes.

Just now, when Bozelido stared at Luo Mio with such a direct, burning gaze, filled with lust, not only she, but also Lisha, Tirfa, Lux, Kurokushifa and other students of the 'Knight Order' could see it.

Legri suppressed the urge to punch the man in front of her and gave a very concise introduction to Bozelido.

"This is our academy's newest instructor."

Upon hearing Legri's words, Bozelido nodded slightly.

Then he came to Luo Mio's side, and put on what he thought was a very elegant, dignified, and gentlemanly smile, and spoke softly to Luo Mio.

"Hello, beautiful lady, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"..."

Luo Mio glanced at Bozelido's seemingly gentle yet affected voice.

Then Lisha, who was standing next to her, looked directly at Legri and asked.
