Fixed-point delivery (2)
Alex remembers one thing about this day.
He ran to the school's Basilan Square.
Students generally like to take a walk around this area during lunch break.
Sure enough, there were a few people on the gravel road near the woods.
Alex looked from a distance for a while, saw the person he was looking for, and smiled.
There are three male students surrounding a female student.
The female student was wearing a skirt school uniform. She had a petite and cute figure. Her beige hair was slightly curled and draped over her shoulders. She had cat-like green eyes like a lake. She looked as delicate as a doll, with soft and childish cheeks. She looked like a freshman.
Alex walked a few steps away and could vaguely hear the sound from over there.
"…Can you please repeat what you just said?"
The girl said in a low voice, "You don't understand the official language of Quone, right? That's right, the brain is only as big as a walnut kernel, which is normal. Then I'll say it again, listen carefully, □□□□□□□" and made an insulting gesture unique to the Nantes flute.
Alex couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The three of them turned around immediately.
The anger on their faces turned into fear the moment they saw Alex, and then they all left without saying a word.
The girl blinked her beautiful eyes, raised her hands, and said in a clear voice: "Another one? You look strong, huh? Why are they so afraid of you?"
Alex smiled and said, "You look cute in the school uniform."
The girl lifted her hair and looked up: "Thank you."
Alex continued, "Shall we go to the training ground to spar?"
The girl raised her eyebrows and said, "Why? For no reason."
Alex looked innocent: "...Because I'm strong?"
The girl's eyes lit up: "Okay!"
He first arrested a nearby student and confirmed that he was the strongest student in the academy. Then he dragged a large bag out of the woods and opened the package. Inside was a heavy ax - almost as tall as he was.
Then he was beaten up by Alex.
No chance of fighting back.
The people watching the game were stunned.
One reason was that the girl tore off her skirt during the fight, exposing her shorts (which were worn outside, of course). He tied his hair up.
It was a young man.
The other is for their battles.
The petite tomboy looks petite and cute, with thin arms and legs without muscles, but she can easily wield the heavy ax that he uses to climb high. The ax seems to be heavier than he is, and it whistles in the wind when it is swung in the air.
Alex relied on a thin straight sword to easily deflect the heavy ax that was swung at him with great force.
After a dozen moves, he flashed behind the opponent and kicked him, causing the opponent to fall flat on his face.
Of course, the consequence of engaging in a duel without permission in a public place on campus is a warning from the teacher.
"Bibidai Sente! Alex! Both of you! Clean this place up!"
The teachers here are very familiar with Alex.
Alex was sweeping the floor while chatting with Bibidai.
"You did a pretty good job, but you relied too much on strength, so your flexibility is a little lacking."
Bibi Dai said depressedly: "Why are you saying the same thing as my dad?"
"How about I teach you how to train to make up for this shortcoming?"
Bibidai was deceived in this way.
Bibidai is a more interesting person.
He is the only son of Count Cente and should have studied hard at home. But his father couldn't stand his bad temper and wanted him to go to the academy to improve his social skills, so he was sent here.
Soon after he transferred to the school, he was entangled by several noble playboys because of his outstanding looks, and the result was the scene above.
As for why he dressed like this, it was to go against his father so that he could get into trouble and drop out of school. But he didn't feel comfortable wearing it, so he took off his clothes during the fight.
He is not very tall and has a young face, but he is born with supernatural strength. He is one of the few knights who uses heavy weapons.
He was one of the most powerful pioneers in Alex's previous life.
Because it is a single cell that is almost like an animal, the quickest and easiest way to win his favor is to demonstrate your strength.
In his previous life, he was a hero who saved "Mei", and then he and this "Mei" got to know each other through fighting, so the impression he made on her was very deep.
He had the impression that Bibidai was a useful and interesting person.
But his aggressive personality also led to his death -- literally.
However, even the fearless Bibidai would still be afraid if a gun was pointed at his head.
"Wait wait wait wait wait! Is this the training you're talking about?!" Bibidai shouted with his hands open.
Alex said from a distance: "Yeah, cheer up!"
"!? Where's my ax? I haven't even got my ax yet!"
Alex put the ax under his feet: "That's how you practice."
Bibidai opened her mouth wide.
Cheryl licked her lips, held the gun steady, and placed her finger lightly on the trigger.
Bibidai raised her hands and split her legs: "Ahhhhhhhhh murder!"
Wu Rui stood by holding a hunting rifle and said with a smile, "Alex, where did you get this? It's really fun."
"Right?" Alex laughed.
"Bang!"
Cheryl fired without warning.
Bibidai was trapped in a small area by the fence. He was startled and a bullet brushed past his shoulder, hit the tree behind him with a bang, and bounced to the ground.
Bibi picked it up and saw that it was a small bouncy ball with color painted on it.
It hurts a lot, but I don't think you'll be hurt.
Of course, if it hits the eyes it's a different matter.
Knowing that he would not kill anyone, Bibidai shook his body and was suddenly filled with fighting spirit.
"Come!"
Alex added fuel to the fire: "Hit him in the eye."
Cheryl had a dimple on her cheek: "Let me try... a gun is harder to use than a bow."
Wu Rui didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Stop it, just aim at the circle."
This crude rifle hunting only has a decorative aiming circle but no scope.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
She fired three more times and reloaded the magazine.
She mumbled a few words in her native dialect and adjusted her gestures.
It was the first time for both of them to handle a gun: in fact, the bow and arrow is more difficult to use, but because both of them have been using bows and arrows since childhood, the situation is reversed.
Because of the nature of the bullet, the accuracy is also greatly reduced, and it is a challenge to master such a gun.
This is not only a training for Bibidai, it is also a training for them.
Alex practiced with them for the whole afternoon.
The three of them became more and more excited as they practiced, and he felt relieved.
After Alex returned to the palace, Quinpeu was reading a book and Christine was lying on the sofa eating snacks.
"Oh, you're finally here."
"Your Highness."
"What's the matter?" Alex pressed his hand to signal Quinpeu to continue reading.
Christine pointed at Quinpeu.
"He's fine, go ahead." Alex hung his coat on the hanger.
Christine shrugged. "You're leaving soon, right?"
Alex froze for a moment, realizing that she had received another prophecy. He said helplessly, "Now I think this is really not a good ability."
Christine threw up her hands: "I can only accept it and I can't control what I see."
Alex asked, "So what did you see?"
He sat down on the sofa, loosened his collar, and unconsciously squeezed the armrests.
Christine smiled and said, "Then let me tell you what you are most concerned about first. I don't see him in any danger at the moment."
Alex looked at her with deep eyes.
【He went anyway.】
Christine smiled even more brilliantly: "I knew you wouldn't let him go, but he went anyway."
Alex's face was expressionless.
Christine continued, "I want to remind you of one thing. A person's past shapes his present. This is true for Aura, me, and Queen Lucia."
Alex understood half of what she said.
Just as Ola hated Rodolfo, Christine hated the queen who had given Ola a painful past.
Politically speaking, the Queen remains the biggest stumbling block in their path.
Christine's words seemed to be a reminder, but in fact he was using them to gather intelligence in order to pave the way for Ola.
They venture into danger, and they reap the rewards.
Most importantly, they have no conflicts of interest.
Alex pushed a glass of milk to her: "You are probably the last person I want to be an enemy of."
Christine fixed her messy short hair, took the cup, and blinked innocently: "Mutually?"
Alex: "So what did you see in the prophecy? Tell me in detail."
In that case, we might as well make good use of the information we have obtained.
Christine thought for a moment and said, "My prophetic dreams are usually short fragments, some clear and some blurry. This time I only saw you guys escaping from the Spring Palace. You all looked uninjured. You were holding someone in your arms. I couldn't see the person's face because he was wrapped in a cloak. It should be a child... and then it was gone."
Alex frowned.
Christine: “…” She didn't know why she felt Alex's aura was a little scary at this moment.
Alex was silent for a long time under the pressure, and said: "In this case, please ask Sister Aura to take care of our departure."
Since the international situation has tightened, entry and exit has become more difficult, especially since he is a member of the royal family.
Christine: "Don't worry, we will take care of it. Just tell us the route and we will send someone to pick you up."
Alex clapped his hands, and Coco, wearing a maid outfit, ran in and handed a stack of exquisite dessert boxes to Christine.
Coco laughed and said, “I did it!”
Christine: "Delicious!" Then she went back happily.
Alex sat on the sofa in a daze for a long time.
After staying with Alex for a while, Kunpeu gradually began to understand what Alex was thinking.
He probably has no intention of taking him with him at the moment, otherwise he would have explained it to him in advance, and it is also because he is not capable enough now.
He could see that Alex was in a bad mood.
[It’s because of Master Neka…]
In addition to practicing dodging, Bibidai also played with a long stick in his hand, which was also Alex's request.
After a month, Cheryl and Uri made rapid progress in shooting practice.
October 30, 1891, the last day of October. (In the Lu Zero world, every month is fixed on the 30th.)
Several people gathered in Inger's room early in the morning.
Alex was startled when he saw Inger.
"Ying, you don't look well. Have you not had a good rest these days?"
Inger looked weaker and more haggard than before, and all the tension in his spirit was evident on his face.
“…I’m a little busy, but it’s okay.”
These are all things he wants to do and must do.
But even he could sense that something was wrong.
He spent all day in the library and research room, writing, reading, and researching teleportation circles, pushing all of this forward almost madly.
That accident made him have a more urgent need for something.
But especially not to Alex.
Inger abruptly changed the subject, "Have you found all the people?" He saw the three people coming in.
As soon as Cheryl saw him, she shouted, "Ying! Were you bitten by a vampire?"
Wu Rui patted the girl's head and said to Yinger, "Ying, don't make yourself too tired."
Inger chuckled, and his face looked more energetic.
Bibi pointed at him and asked, "Who are you? Why are you so weak?"
Alex said: "He is better than you."
Inger sat on the bed and threw him a pillow.
Alex took it with a smile.
Bibidai muttered, "Better than me again? I don't believe it! We've fought before."
Inger recognized him and said speechlessly: "I am a wizard."
Bibidai opened his mouth and said, "How can a wizard be stronger than a knight? You are lying to me."
This time, Alex, Uri, and Cheryl all shook their heads in unison.
Wu Rui said solemnly: "What he said is true."
Cheryl laughed and said, "Ying Magic is really super super powerful!"
Bibidai was depressed again, and he subconsciously fiddled with the long stick in his hand.
Alex reached out to stop him: "Not here."
Bibidai put it away angrily.
Inger always felt that there were more strange people, but they still seemed surprisingly harmonious.
They chatted for a while longer, and only after Inger summoned his wand and opened a soundproof barrier did they get down to business.
Bibidai was shocked by the gorgeous wand, "So handsome."
Inger continued, as if he hadn't heard, "Have you told them?"
Alex looked around and said, "I told them that we were going to Zalambra to kill two people. I let them decide for themselves whether they should be killed or not. If you decide that these two people don't deserve to die, I will stop immediately. We will just treat this as a trip there, without getting involved in anything, and go home quietly."
Uri and Cheryl looked at each other and nodded.
Bibidai showed a wicked smile, with the tip of her fangs touching her lips, "I won't refuse anything interesting."
Inger said calmly: "This is not a joke, nor a game. This is a matter of risking your life. You must make sure you are ready."
Of all the people present, only Inger and Alex had experienced death, and more than once.
However, these three are not innocent children.
Cheryl raised her fist and said, "If we weren't prepared, we would have been eaten by wolves or bears in the forest many times. Don't underestimate us."
Wu Rui agreed with a smile.
Bibidai sneered: "If there is danger, just smash the enemy's head. Who cares if he is a human or a beast?"
The protagonists don't seem to have much psychological burden about this kind of thing.
Inger's face was filled with worry.
Alex said: "I asked you to participate in the action because I need your strength. This is for the country and for the people, including the people of Zalambra and Chune. It's hard to explain in detail. But everything is left to your judgment. I will unconditionally trust your judgment and will protect you."
It was the first time that Bibidai was said to by someone like this: "Hahahaha, you protect me?"
Wu Rui also said: "Have you forgotten who carried you back?"
Cheryl pouted: "Here we go again!"
Alex smiled but said nothing.
Of course he wouldn't. The people who had fought alongside him for so many years. They were the ones he depended on the most.
Inger felt a sense of satisfaction as he watched the protagonist's companions begin to gather.
Inger said nothing more. "We'll discuss the specific plan when we get to the North. You guys go first. I'll finish my personal business and take the next train. You guys wait for me at the agreed place."
The smile on Alex's face suddenly disappeared. He stared into Inger's eyes and said softly, "...Ying, you can't go."
Inger was silent: "…"
A feeling of suffocation permeated the air.
The other three people were quick to notice the change in the air, their eyes widened and they fell silent.
Alex repeated: "You're not going."
Inger's eyes showed no emotion, and he asked quietly, "Why? We have already agreed on this. And this plan cannot be carried out without me. How are you going to get into the Spring Palace?"
Alex: “It’s not impossible in the chaos.”
Inger: “That’s too dangerous.”
Bibidai's eyes rolled left and right, he felt as if needles were pricking him all over.
The two of them seemed to be just having a normal discussion, but why did he feel like there was something bloody going on?
Alex held Inger's hand and felt the coldness on his fingertips: "We can complete the mission without you. It's not that you are useless, but there is no need to let you take risks. You don't want that, right?"
Inger felt the blood begin to rush in his veins. He suppressed his anger and said, "I know what you mean."
Alex: "That's good...you..."
"If you don't take me with you, you can't do anything. You know I have many ways to stop you. I won't watch you die."
Alex's voice suddenly rose: "Inger!"
Inger shook off his hand and frowned, "I'm almost going deaf!"
Cheryl opened her mouth wide, and Wu Rui spoke carefully: "Don't quarrel, talk nicely."
They both glared at him at the same time, and Wu Rui fell silent instantly.
Alex rubbed his brow and said, "Inger... you were not like this originally..."
Inger said expressionlessly: "I have never changed. We originally agreed that I have no intention of committing suicide. At least I am better than you."
Alex was the first to be irritated by Inger's sharp words. He said, "Even after what you've been through, you still want to go? There's no need at all."
Inger: "You are the one who doesn't understand. That's why we need more strength and complete preparations to deal with accidents, so that you and they won't die. Since you took them with you, you must be responsible for them! You clearly know what kind of situation you are about to get involved in, but you still want to exclude me?"
His voice was quiet but every word was stern.
Cheryl and Uri made eye contact.
[They are obviously arguing...]
Alex gritted his teeth and said, "How can you guarantee that you can be resurrected next time? Your magic is not omnipotent."
Inger's face darkened. "Is it so easy for me to die? And if my magic fails, can I still stand here and talk to you?!"
Alex: “………You know that’s not what I meant.”
Inger: “…I’m sorry.”
Wu Rui turned around and looked at Cheryl again: [You apologized so quickly. ]
Alex's tone softened a little: "Ying, please don't go this time."
Inger: "No, you want me to not go this time or next time, Alex. I told you that I would not participate in the war or go to the battlefield. My thoughts have not changed. But your life and death are very important, not to me, but to the world. You should be more cautious and not be willful."
Alex: "I don't know why you keep saying that. I will do anything for the people, but it's not because I'm important. Besides, you have to be responsible for yourself and your family."
Gradually, the other three people were unable to understand what they said.
Inger's words were sharp and pointed: "Alex, what are you afraid of? It's not your fault. I have said it many times. I have never regretted saving you, and I am still alive. How long will you blame yourself? No one has ever blamed you. Who are you showing this to? You think you can protect everything, but do I need your protection? You can rely on them, but not on me? Can you find a wizard to replace me?"
Alex bit his lip and said, "You have done enough! You don't need to go through life and death with me! Besides, this is not what you want! You just need to do what you like and what you can do at home, and you will have helped me a lot! Why don't you understand?! What are you in such a hurry? I didn't have a wizard before!"
【That’s why so many people died! 】
Inger managed to stop the sentence.
The direction of their quarrel became more and more outrageous, they kept stepping on each other's flaws and neither of them looked very happy.
Inger and Alex each thought the other was stubborn and stupid.
Inger: "I can't continue this conversation. Calm down for a moment."
Alex: "Ha, that's what happened. Don't you realize there's something wrong with you?"
Alex took a mirror and put it in front of him. "Look at your own face! Have you looked at it recently?"
Inger was stunned.
Cheryl was right, he might have been bitten by a vampire.
The worried expressions and words of his family and Jason emerged in his mind.
Inger pressed his temple with a headache. "It's not the same thing. I will adjust myself."
He realized gradually that this anger and repressed mood did not develop overnight. What happened that day drove a wedge, and anxiety and depression accumulated deeply without them realizing it, for both of them.
However, now that the story has deviated so much from the main plot, Inger had to go and witness it. He also had a large part of the responsibility. Moreover, since he knew Shuguang's ability, he was the best safety bolt.
Of course, what made him most angry was Alex's attitude. His short-sightedness would not only kill many people, but it might also kill himself.
He values the lives of others, but not his own. In the end, either others die for him, or he dies.
He doesn't know that he is the protagonist, and Okon doesn't know his importance. The world needs him to save it.
Alex: "I don't want to argue with you about this. Please think about it for another day."
Inger: "What are you thinking about? Should I run after you guys after you leave?"
Alex: “Do you think I would…”
Inger: "You would! Aren't you telling me that right now?!"
Alex took a deep breath, his teeth trembling: "…………"
The false peace finally tore a vicious crack.
