Chapter 171

After watching Sylphy confidently delineate the route for her "competition" with the little princess Alicia starting tomorrow, even the moon rose.

Perhaps because of the difficulty of the hunting commission this time, the camp accommodation they received was also a "five-star" cabin with beds for three people.

There's even a small bathroom! Although there is definitely no bathtub and no water magic stone, this is not a problem for Jupiter and his party who have already prepared it and are not short of money. Having learned the lesson from last time, Jupiter and his party this time A lot of preparation.

Taking a bath is definitely out of the question, but it's more than enough to rinse your body and wash your clothes.

However, Jupiter was not in the mood to enjoy it: all he could think about was—how to prevent Sylphy from acting alone in the next adventurer mission?

At worst, he would have to follow.

Just doing this interfered with the "competition" between Sylphy and the little princess.

If it doesn't work out, he should discuss it with the little princess Alicia and ask for mercy, so that he can continue to follow Sylphy without affecting the fairness of the "competition" between the two?

Anyway, in Alicia's eyes, he must be a dispensable fish, so what if he follows Sylphy?

As for Sylphy, although she would probably be a little hesitant, the villain lady would definitely not miss the opportunity to be "alone" with him.

this

It was Jupiter who came to the conclusion: This is the greatest protection that can be achieved for Sylphy without preventing Sylphy from doing the commission and making Sylphy unhappy.

Think it, do it.

At this time, Sylphy had already rested, and while it was dark, Jupiter planned to quietly discuss things with Alicia.

However: was it an accident?

Is it a coincidence?

Or... Alicia had some bad intentions?

Jupiter got up and just opened the door.

But he almost collided with Alicia's figure!

"Hi... love... uh, Alicia-san?"

"!"

Alicia was actually outside the door of his room!

The two looked at each other, but immediately stopped talking and lowered their voices - otherwise Sylphy would be woken up later...

That picture is so beautiful.

Jupiter took a closer look and saw: It was clearly the Alicia he saw as soon as he opened the door, just like Midnight Terror!

The lovely Lissia is the more nervous and even panicked one!

It seemed like the two were about to meet each other by coincidence, but when they glanced down, Jupiter discovered: Outside his door, on the stone ground, a patch of white frost had already condensed around Alicia's feet. .

It seemed as if Alicia had been standing here for a long time.

It was as if I had just been spying on him.

The coldness brought by the ice magic immediately made Jupiter shiver!

However, before he could think about it, Alicia suddenly came back to her senses as if she was meditating on something...

Take a step forward immediately!

He even reached out and grabbed his sleeve!

"Can you come with me? Don't disturb your eldest lady."

As if silently telling Jupiter: The little princess was so absent-minded in the morning just to find a chance to meet him alone at this moment!

"About the restricted area where our commission is located, actually... I have some discoveries."

For a moment, Jupiter was confused.

Not to mention the relationship between Sylphy and Alicia: this little princess holds a grudge very hard!

Therefore, he thinks that his relationship with Alicia should be very "ordinary".

That is to say: no grudges.

However, tonight, at this moment.

Their eyes met, Alicia's nervousness and concern in his eyes...

Why do you look like you care about him so much?

Jupiter is a bit confused.

132. Maori Xiaolang applies to be listed! (4000 words)

For a moment, Jupiter was a little confused.

The lovely Lissia was not as silent as she was when she met him before, with a cold expression on her face tonight.

The anxious thoughts in his heart seemed to be written on his face, and Jupiter could not find an excuse to describe the attitude of the little princess of the empire towards him as "vindictive".

If Alicia is really acting, then he should just admit defeat!

As a result, Jupiter's attitude towards Alicia also slowed down a lot.

And then, Alicia clenched her little fists until they turned white.

The words he added with an anxious look on his brows made it even more difficult for him to just pretend he didn't hear it and just laugh it off, so he could rest early.

"The restricted area we are in...or in other words, this commission we have carried out has some traces of "artificial arrangement". "

After a pause, Alicia stood on tiptoes and requested again.

"Can you come with me?"

At this moment, Jupiter had no choice.

By the way, if the occasion hadn't allowed it, he would have really wanted to remind Alicia: Your Royal Highness, your status is not suitable for being so humble to a cannon fodder from a Duke's family.

Just explain the situation well.

Not a mean girl.

It was night, close to the outskirts of the restricted area, a distance that even the Imperial Knights stationed here could not take care of.

After Jupiter confirmed that Sylphy had rested and that the camp hut they chose was safe, he followed Alicia and left the camp hut.

After all, the walls of the camp hut are not soundproof at all, and the two can't keep whispering.

Leaving the hut, they came to the restricted area where the hunting commission was located.

The stars and the moon, which were originally hanging high, were covered by dark clouds at the moment when he and Alicia left.

The cold light sprinkled by the stars made Alicia, who was silent, become as quiet and bright as a fairy in the night.

Her slow footsteps dragged

a piece of ice magic brought by the cold air, making Jupiter shiver several times along the way.

But he didn't feel scared.

Could it be that because the little princess Alicia didn't do anything like "threatening" to him recently, he had an inappropriate delusion?

"Hiss..."

Jupiter hurriedly knocked himself in his heart-the three major illusions in life are not good.

Alicia helped him and Sylphy in the recent matter of President Shino, probably just out of the sense of justice of the "orthodox heroine".

This must be the only answer.

It can't be because she likes him, right?

He has emotional intelligence and judgment!

Moreover, the next moment, Alicia's words also made him have no time to be suspicious.

"It should be about time to get here, right?"

I saw: Alicia stood still and looked around.

In front of the two was a dark and deep restricted area that made people feel creepy just by looking at it.

Behind them was a grassland plain with nothing else.

Such a place is also the most convenient for "talking alone".

After confirming that there was no one around, Alicia took a deep breath and turned around.

Facing him.

Her usual cold and beautiful face was extremely serious and focused, saying: "In fact, after President Xinuo prepared these "private commissions" for us, I took the time to come here in advance to conduct some investigations. "

If it were Sylphy, she would probably tease him now.

Say something like [Want to know what I investigated? Say something that makes me happy, and I'll tell you-] or something like that.

But the little princess in front of him, Alicia, is different.

She wanted to pour all the information she knew into him!

"As a princess, I retrieved the log of the Knights stationed here and found that: starting a few days ago, the adventurer teams that had carried out relevant commissions in this restricted area... have all been recalled by the Adventurer Association. "

"This area has been cleared?"

Jupiter realized it later: No wonder he found that there was no carriage of other adventurer teams around when he first arrived at the Knights' outpost.

It turned out that it was not a coincidence, but that the adventurer team was "temporarily transferred"!

At first, he was stunned, and then, Jupiter didn't care about the hierarchy that should be there when getting along with Alicia.

He took a step forward and asked, "Could it be that because of the hunting commission, the Adventurer Association has transferred the original adventurer team for safety reasons?"

"!"

Alicea, who was serious just now, suddenly became nervous, and her tense body seemed to be so stiff that she couldn't even speak.

"Alicea-san?"

It was only after Jupiter added a reminder in a hurry that he hurriedly took a few small steps to distance himself from him.

He took several deep breaths in succession to stay calm.

For a moment, it was not right to let Jupiter get close, nor was it right to retreat.

The surrounding wilderness was silent, but the atmosphere between the two of them was close to an awkward distance, and it became strange.

She really deserves to be the princess, keeping a distance from him all the time.

However, he didn't have time to apologize-he was a little anxious just now.

Alicea had calmed down.

Shaking her head, she passed the atmosphere just now with a calm breeze.

Seriously said: "The Adventurer's Association itself has no reason to interfere with the actions of the adventurer team. From what I know about the Adventurer's Association, there is no similar precedent."

"Unless..."

There is no need for Alicia to say more. Jupiter, who was already wary of this commission because of the plot of the original game, can already think along the way.

"Who instructed the Adventurer's Association to do this?"

This suspicion will lead to some bad premonitions for Jupiter.

The Adventurer's Association is an organization under the Britalia Empire. In his opinion, there are only two kinds of existences that can call the Adventurer's Association.

Either it is the Britalia Empire Royal Family-people like the Great Prince.

After all, that is the pinnacle of the empire's power.

Or...

It is the Lukalia Academy.

Because the academy is the biggest "financial sponsor" and "investor" of the Adventurer's Association in the original game setting, and too many "trophies" of the adventurer teams will be acquired by the academy through the Adventurer's Association.

The former, the Great Prince, has no reason to arrange such a strange thing.

What's more, Finnie has already left temporarily
