Arknights, but the sickly pretty girl starts

"Who said it wasn't... I thought nothing big would happen next, and everything would just happen naturally."

"But now that the Great Elder is dead, doesn't that mean the Saint Lady has all the power? With just one order from the Saint Lady, there shouldn't be so many problems, right?"

"Who knows... I feel like the relationship between the Saint Lady and the Master is very subtle..."

The two soldiers sighed to each other. Sure enough, Enshiotis's family affairs were no longer a secret. Everyone knew that the relationship between Enshiotis and the Saint was very bad, which made Enshia, the person involved, look a little subtle.

Although we can't blame them for gossiping... After all, it's not the first time that my sister and brother have been sarcastic in public, and even the most slow-witted person would react.

While Enxia was still worrying about how to get around the guards, Enya and Yaer had already left the hall. On the way, Enya spoke.

"Ya'er."

"I'm here, Saint Lady."

"During the ceremony, I remember I happened to see you in the crowd. You were with Miss Noah, right?"

"Yes."

"I heard from others that Miss Noya is an honored guest of Enthyodis and a partner he values ​​as much as the Doctor. But now... she has chosen a neutral stance?"

"Hmm... neutral, sort of." Ya'er squinted her eyes and smiled, "Although the doctor is the main force, she also has her own ideas."

"Are you close to her?" Enya looked at Ya'er beside her, "You rarely get so close to someone."

"Why did you mention her suddenly?" Yaer began to change the subject. Although Enya knew it, she still went down the stairs.

"I want to see her."

"what?"

This sentence really surprised Yaer. "Enya, you have seen her before, haven't you? You said she was quite strange."

"I don't know the reason, but I want to know why she chose to remain neutral... No, although she calls herself neutral, she's actually supporting the Doctor's group, right?" Enya sighed. "I want to know her opinion."

"..." Ya'er didn't say anything, but Enya continued, "I no longer doubt what I want to do, but I'm afraid I'll decide too late. I need to fight for something."

"About this point..." Ya'er sighed, "But if I told you that she has already sent an envoy here, what would you think?"

"Huh?" Enya blinked in disbelief.

And the next moment, Enxia, ​​who had bypassed the guards, rushed directly to Enya, hugged Enya's waist and said, "Surprise!"

"Enshia...it seems I'm really hallucinating." Enya's first reaction when she saw Enshia was that she must have seen it wrong, or she was hallucinating. After all, Enshia should be well protected in Shivaash's territory now, so why did she suddenly appear in Manzhuyuan.

"Hey, sister, I'm not an illusion. I'm really your sister, Enshia. Can an illusion have such a warm hug like mine?"

"...Enxia, ​​is it really you?" Enya was completely shocked. "How did you get past the guard? There's no way that guy would let you in."

"It's me~ I missed you so much, sister." Enxia's face flushed as she threw herself into Enya's arms. They hadn't seen each other for a long time. After all, the Saint couldn't just meet whenever she wanted, and most of the time they communicated through letters.

"I missed you too, Enxia. How are you doing out there?" Enxia couldn't hide her excitement, and for the first time, she showed a warm expression. Yaer next to her regretted not having a camera, otherwise she would definitely take a picture of this scene. "And your illness..."

"Hey, didn't you ask all these questions in your letter?" Enxia said with a smile. "Listen to me, I came here this time for something very important."

-

"Enxia should have almost made contact with the Saint. Now it all depends on the Saint's decision." Noah exhaled. "We'll do our best and leave the rest to fate. Now we just have to wait and see the final outcome."

"...A battle just broke out up there..." Tora was very sensitive to the atmosphere of battle. He had sensed it when Kuro was fighting the Mountain Snow Demon. However, considering that Noya needed protection, he did not go up to help.

"Kuro, it's okay." Noya has complete trust in Kuro. As long as she promises something, no matter what it is, she will do it. "She is very powerful."

"I know..." As someone who had been beaten by Kuro before, Tora certainly knew Kuro's abilities. "Princess... er, Princess Noya, are you participating in this incident in order to rule the Snow Region?"

"......?" Noah was stunned. "Why do you think so?"

"Participate in a coup, send special forces to assist the other party in achieving important goals. As long as you want, you can completely establish a regime outside the three major families—" Tora tilted his head, but seemed a little confused. "You don't plan to do this?"

"I'm not planning on that." Noya smiled bitterly. "Why would I want to be a local tyrant in Kjerag? Do I have so much free time?"

"...I thought you intended Kjerag as your first stop on your conquest." Knowing he'd misunderstood, Tora said with a touch of embarrassment. "I thought it was the first stop on your journey."

"Um...Tora, we don't have to worry about fighting. We're just here for tourism and happened to be involved in a coup, that's all. After everything is over, I'll go somewhere new and explore. I won't run into trouble everywhere."

Noah felt a little unsure when she said this, but she still felt that she was just unlucky and not a troublemaker.

"So, don't think about fighting and killing, we are tourists——"

"Yes."

Tora nodded, but Noah felt that this guy definitely didn't listen.

After all, apart from conquering and fighting, this person probably doesn't have much brain capacity left.

But at least he still remembered that he told her not to call her Princess... although he just added the word Noah before Princess.

She was even more puzzled by Roland. Ever since he showed up, his actions had been very strange, and he had been so distant from the team.

But his strength is unquestionable. According to Kuro... if Roland and she were to fight, it would probably take a whole day and a whole night to determine the winner.

——And he accepted Enchiodis’s employment. Is this guy really okay?

Chapter 42: Two Half-Saints

When Enshia told Enya everything, she understood why Noah and the Doctor sent Enshia to her.

Protection and escape were the two reasons used to convince Enxia.

Noah is a person who can see through people's hearts, so she definitely knows that as long as she sees her sister, she will never let Enxia protect herself.

Let Enxia protect her?

Let Enxia take her away?

No, how could it be possible? She was the one who needed to protect Enxia.

She was the one who should have escaped with Enshia.

She is... the one who should fight.

They just put this reason in her hands, like a step for her to make a decision.

"Enxia, ​​you are still wearing the bracelet I made for you." After Enxia understood this, she was not angry.

"Of course, I will keep wearing it," Enxia said without hesitation, "but it's a little old. I don't know how much longer I can wear it."

"Then I'll find time to weave a new one for you," Enya said. "It's a brand new one, just replace this one."

"real?!"

"Yeah." Enya nodded, "So Enshiya, would you like to do your sister a favor?"

"What favor?" Even if there was no bracelet, she would never refuse her sister's request.

"Accompany me down the mountain."

-

By this time, Actor had already reached the mountain path, not far from Manzhuyuan, but their offensive momentum gradually slowed as Noxis responded and deployed additional troops. Meanwhile, Jiaofeng, the leader of the team, had begun to understand that the situation had begun to reverse.

"Aktos, surrender."

"Jek boy, I don't know what kind of drug Enthiotis gave you to make you so devoted to him. Your Yek family is well-known in Perlochi Territory, yet you actually chose to help Enthiotis usurp Kjerag!"

“…” Jiaofeng did not respond. Indeed, what Axtos said was right. No matter how to cover it up - this was indeed a coup.

"Surrender, fnmdp! I've never surrendered in my life! And I won't in my next life!"

Both sides launched an attack again. Although they tried to hold back, there were still casualties. If this continued, the team led by Actos would soon be wiped out.

"Come on! Who dares to fight me?" Actos was like Zhang Yide, the man who broke the Dangyang Bridge with his drink, a one-on-one opponent, with the courage of Lü Bu. Jiaofeng's defense was somewhat strained, but he was the only one who could withstand Actos's raging storm.

At this time, another team came rushing up from the mountain road, led by the doctor. Now the surprise attack and feint attack troops have been united, the morale of the team was instantly boosted, and Actor laughed even loudly.

"Doctor, you are too late!"

"It snowed recently, so we were delayed." The doctor and his companions weren't native to Kjerag, after all, and didn't have the ability to ignore the snow debuff, so they arrived somewhat late. "And we also had to avoid the eyes and ears of the Shivaash family."

"Haha, Kjerag's snow is really troublesome for outsiders like you!" However, Actor was not complaining, but happy. "But the reinforcements have arrived! Then no one can stop us!"

"Aktos, it's too early for you to be happy." At this moment, a gray shadow flashed in the air. Aktos saw it clearly, but he had to step back, otherwise the shadow would definitely attack his eyes directly. He knew who was coming - the roar had already been issued.

"Enthyodis!!"

"Doctor, long time no see." But facing Actos's roar, he turned to the Doctor's direction as soon as possible. After all, he knew that the real leader was the Doctor.

"Long time no see, Enthyodice, but now doesn't seem like the right time to talk."

While the doctor and Enthiotis were conversing, Actor had finally freed himself from Horn Peak's clutches and began to speak harshly. "Enthiotis! Just wait! I'll burst through your shell in a moment! Rescue the Saint!"

"I'll wait and see." Enthiotis chuckled. In his eyes, Actoros wasn't really a threat. The real threat was the combined think tank of the Doctor and Noah, who had tricked Nosis into losing his balance.

It must be said that Enthiotis had also thought about it. If he had both the Doctor and Noah by his side, he would have the confidence to let Kjerag run forward.

After the leaders of both sides arrived, the teams that had been fighting in a chaotic situation immediately began to separate and both sides began to reorganize their forces. Actor and the Doctor stood at the front of the team. The Doctor wore a hood and watched everything silently. She was waiting, waiting for the result that Noah had said -

Aktos was still trying to boost morale, intending to break through the mountain demon army created by Enthiodis. He wanted to restore Kjerag's honor, and also his own reputation.

He shouted slogans.

"Go up to the snowy mountains! Save the Saint! Fuck Enthyodice!"

"Go up the snowy mountain! Save the Saint! Fuck Enthyodis!!!"

"——Defeat Enthyodice!"

"Down with Enchiodis!!!"

"Rescue the Saint!"

"Rescue the Saint!!!"

It has to be said that the Ursus race is good at boosting morale. The Doctor even thought of General Winter, who wanted to replace him on his own island.

However, now is not the time to confront head-on...

Noah, how long are you going to make me wait...

-

"Hey~" Noya was also anxious, but she soon found that the bell in her arms rang without wind, and then Ya'er appeared behind her and patted her shoulder. Although Tora reacted immediately, in front of Ya'er, he couldn't even summon an illusion.

"Ms. Ya'er? Is it a sign that you've come down the mountain?"

"As you wish, Miss Enya asked me to invite you up, and then - go down the mountain together."

"Is it necessary for me to join..." Noah hesitated. "I've already done what I wanted to do. You can just send me back. There's no need for me to show up in public, right?"

"The Saint Lady said that those who have made contributions should be rewarded, and—you have already walked half of the Saint Lady's path, so you are also half a Saint Lady. Now there are two half-Saint Ladys on the mountain, so of course we should walk out together."

"……What?"

Noah was stunned. "What do you mean two half-saints?"

"If you have completed the Saint's Path, you are a Saint. Enxia has also completed it, so she is also a Saint. You have completed half of it - so that counts as half."

"What nonsense..." Noah blinked, not being able to figure out what the selection criteria for this saint were.

"Okay, okay, let's go up. Oh, right, I forgot one thing." Yaer clapped her hands, then grabbed a handful of snow, melted it with her body temperature, and finally put it on Noah's head. As the snow melted, water gently touched Noah's head.

"Okay, now you are truly a half-saint!"

"what???"

Chapter 43: Yelagund

"...No, no, no, no matter what, a saint like her can't make such a hasty decision, right?" Noah's brain probably froze for a few seconds, but Yaer probably had selective deafness. She completely ignored Noah's complaints and directly grabbed Noah and Tora. As the surrounding scenery distorted, they appeared in front of Enya and Enshia.

"...No matter how many times I see Sister Yaer use your abilities, it always feels magical..." Enxia clapped her hands and sighed, "Is this considered an Originium technique?"

"Whenever you see something that defies common sense and whose principles you don't understand, you can simply attribute it to Originium techniques." Noya was no longer willing to complain. While Ya'er's ability was somewhat outrageous, she had no reason to pursue it further. She wasn't a Rhine Life researcher, and she had no interest in studying the already bizarre Originium techniques. To thoroughly investigate something like this would require ripping the hair off hundreds of thousands of resentful graduate students and the beards of hundreds of resentful researchers.

Noah cherishes his hair and would never touch such things - it is a slide that cannot be touched.

"Alright, without further ado, we need to get down the mountain before things become irreversible—" Enya stopped any small talk that might ensue and turned to Noya. "Ms. Noya, thank you so much for doing this. I will definitely repay you."

"I'm not doing this for anything in return..." Noah shook her head. "Speaking of which...where's Kuro?"

"Sister Kuro said she wanted to hold back my brother's troops... I don't know yet..." Before Enxia could finish her words, footsteps approached from afar. Soon, Enxia and the others saw Kuro, whose clothes were a little damaged but still had no obvious external injuries, walking into the hall. "Are you looking for me?"

"Sister Kuro!" Enshia stepped forward in surprise and looked up and down. "Where are those thousand people? Did you get rid of them?"

"All of them—" Kuro picked up his maces, and seeing the marks on them, Enshia almost understood. "I knocked them all unconscious. I showed mercy, so they're not dead, but they may have to stay in bed for a few days."
