Daily News: Insect Girls' Heavy Dependence

"That's right! Where's my transformation belt?"

Seeing that Richard also looked confused, Goswell couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"That's a peak fourth-tier item! A mere fraction of a second away from fifth-tier equipment. And you managed to lose it!?"

"Stop making sarcastic remarks, hurry up and help me look for it..."

……

and many more!

Richard began to recall: Ever since Gove was choked unconscious, he had stayed in the tent and had not left.

The pioneers only came in to confront them once. And someone so inconspicuous... who had the right to freely enter and leave their own camp and moved around so frequently...?

!

"Sally!"

Both her own Thunder Demon Worm and Govi's Earth Demon Worm would be affected... not to mention the Silver Demon Worm inside Sally's body! The Fourteen-Winged Devouring Knight Worm was made using two fourth-tier Silver Demon Worms!

Richard called out the little maid's name, but received no response. A bad feeling crept into his mind...

He quickly ran out of the tent to look for Sally, and bumped right into her.

Very abrupt,

Richard was actually knocked away by Sally...

After all, a second-tier fighter completely overwhelms a first-tier fighter. Even though Richard's combat skills have improved rapidly in the past two days, he still can't cross that gap, not even if Sally is a little maid!

However, Richard quickly adjusted his posture and stood firm, and immediately asked a question.

"Sally, have you seen my transformation belt?"

"No, young master... I haven't been to your tent today."

silence……

Richard stared into Sally's eyes; her clear, vertical yellow pupils held no sign of lying, nor any ulterior motive of hoping for his punishment…

Sally did not take the transformation belt.

……

"What business does the young master have with us?"

"What is a transformation belt?"

"Young master, how could we possibly steal your equipment?"

The captain of the guard and the soldiers who had just entered the tent were all questioned by Richard.

No one appeared to have stolen the belt... but Richard still made them tie themselves up... to await the truth.

If the Fourteen-Winged Devouring Knight Insect is abused... and not properly controlled, its consciousness could be taken over. Even if the transformation only lasts three seconds, it would still cause devastating damage to the camp.

However, Richard remembered that the transformation belt was powered by Thunder Demon Insects. Even if someone stole it, they definitely wouldn't be able to use it, because Thunder Demon Insects were extremely rare…

Since we can't find it, we'll just wait for the daily intelligence update tomorrow... there will always be clues eventually.

The news of the missing belt did not spread widely. Only trusted confidants such as the captain of the guard knew about it.

The others in the camp were enjoying a rare moment of rest. After all, they had only been notified of the insectoid attack yesterday: the world beyond the walls was indeed dangerous! Even with knights protecting them, their safety couldn't be guaranteed…

Until the red, yellow, and blue moon once again hung high in the night.

Midnight arrived,

But the intelligence was completely unexpected by Richard!

[Daily Intelligence System: Asdalon has stolen your Fourteen-Winged Killer Knight Insect and is currently lurking in the Pioneer Camp.]

!!!

Asdallen!?

How did he end up in the world outside the walls?! And even in my group?!

Richard patted the sleeping Goldie beside him...

"what?"

Richard lowered his voice as much as possible:

"Asdallen...is at our camp..."

Govy: ! ! ?

"Huh!? Your brother?"

"right!"

Govi snapped to attention instantly!

She now knows, of course, about the relationship between Asdalon and Richard.

The battle between legitimate and illegitimate children! A fight to the death!

"The Knight Bug...is it related to him?"

Richard did not answer Goldie's question; he could only nod emphatically.

His back was still sweating... It wasn't that Richard was particularly afraid, but rather of that effeminate older brother from his memories.

This unexpected truth is like coming home from get off work and suddenly finding three red embroidered shoes on your bed...

This is just too bizarre! Why is Asdalon coming to this poor outer world instead of being a connector in the inner world?

He was even mingling in his own camp... To Richard, this was no different than a ghost suddenly appearing in his team...

What's more, he also took his transformation device without a sound. Isn't a summoner without armor just like a mech pilot without a mech?

Fortunately, I still have Goldie by my side...

Wait a minute! Why is Gowei sweating profusely too?

How could Govy not break out in a cold sweat! Asdalon was the undisputed number one in practical combat among the Papal Knights of her generation!

Moreover, the rankings are completely accurate and fair!

Because Asdalon chased after the nine princes and beat them up! He won first place through sheer strength! Even the royal family didn't investigate the heinous incident of him beating the nine princes until their heads were swollen.

She and Richard had discussed dealing with this being. Although Richard possessed a fourth-tier Knight Insect Belt, it wasn't without a chance. But now, the belt was gone...!

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Richard interrupted Goldie's thoughts.

"I must tell you how dangerous your brother is..."

……

!! ?

After hearing Goldie's description, Richard didn't know what to say.

One Tier 3 human brutally defeated nine other Tier 3 humans, even overwhelming them completely. What kind of humanoid insectoid beast is this cheapskate of mine?!

He's currently lurking in his own camp, let alone successfully obtaining the essence insect fluid... he probably wouldn't even be able to get it in the blink of an eye.

He's about to show himself and steal it, isn't he?

Although he didn't know if Asdalon's goal was the essence of the insect venom, Richard couldn't risk taking the gamble.

"What should we do?"

Now that she had calmed down a bit, Goldie asked Richard about his strategy.

Richard frowned and spoke:

"Pretend you don't know! Don't force him to reveal his true feelings. Otherwise, things will get complicated... Besides, you're ranked eleventh in the practical combat department, you probably can't beat him, right?"

"Isn't that a pointless question?!"

Richard clicked his tongue twice and continued his analysis:

"Asdaleon probably doesn't know I've discovered his existence. Let's first scout the location of the Essence Fluid, but don't collect it... then return to Stormwind. Once we're back at base, we'll find him!"

"I'm afraid he might cause trouble on the way..."

"Let's take it one step at a time!"

After saying that, Richard closed his eyes and fell asleep!

This left Gowei speechless.

Richard could actually fall asleep under these circumstances! Are all members of the Charlemagne family that carefree?!

However, since Richard wasn't afraid, Goswell had nothing to be afraid of either.

Ultimately, Asderon was just a third-order mature human.

Richard had meticulously planned and executed the Silverwing Hunter Insect and the Silverwing Devourer Insect, both fourth-tier fully evolved insect beasts.

No matter how powerful a third-tier human is, they are no match for a fourth-tier insect beast.

Govi didn't think much of it, closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep; at least that way she could get some rest...

Little did they know that Sally was pretending to be asleep.

The ears twitched...
