I'm here to save the world, what are you doing?

The cobblestone road of the manor still carried the coolness of the night, and her heels left light and rhythmic footsteps on it. As a top dancer, even the simplest walking seemed to be playing music.

Just as he was about to go back to his room, he unexpectedly ran into Lucius as soon as he stepped onto the second floor.

"came back?"

Lucius leaned lazily against the door frame, a playful smile in his eyes:

"Did you have fun?"

Sanita in front of him was dressed exquisitely and had perfect makeup, but beneath the rich rose fragrance, there was a very faint smell of blood.

The scent was so faint that Hakimi couldn't detect it, but it was clearly detectable to Lucius's keen senses.

If he got closer, he could even accurately count how many people's scents were mixed in this breath of blood.

For example, now, he came forward and reached out to play with the other person's smooth hair.

Forty-nine people, a precise and swift mass killing. He didn't do it himself, otherwise the smell wouldn't be so faint.

In other words, there are helpers.

「Sanita Vilyati Lv.43/????·???? Lv.43

Spell Axis: Pact of Destiny (Released)

Or a familiar or something like that?

interesting.

Sanita was slightly taken aback, clearly surprised by Lucius's actions, but she quickly regained her graceful composure.

"It's quite pleasant. Did the young lord wait for me here specially?"

"Yes."

Without the slightest hesitation, Lucius withdrew his hand, openly acknowledged Sanita's guess, and said with concern:

"It wasn't until you left that I realized how dangerous it was for you to be out there alone. What if you ran into any remaining Chaos Cult members?"

"If you had been a few minutes late, I would have sent someone out to look for you."

"Now that I see you're safe and sound, and in a good mood, I'm relieved."

"..."

Sanita's pupils trembled and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

As expected, even ordinary words, if spoken by someone you care about, will make you blush and your heart beat faster:

"Thank you for your concern, young lord. However, I am at least a fourth-level transcendent. Even if some ignorant villains come to provoke me, I will just sweep them away like garbage."

After saying that, she imitated the maid holding the broom and sweeping, and made two graceful gestures, which made people laugh and cry.

"Not bad, not bad. Your movements are quite professional."

Lucius teased, "If I had a maid as beautiful as you, I would definitely give her a full schedule, if for no other reason than to please her."

"You are joking, young lord. Even if I am not your maid, I am willing to serve you at any time."

Pushing open the door and walking lightly into the room, Sanita turned to face Lucius, her slender fingers lightly resting on the door frame, her posture elegant and seductive.

She tilted her head, revealing an inviting smile, and her tone was filled with a hint of ambiguity that was almost explicit:

"Would you like to come in and sit down, young lord?"

"No."

Lucius waved his hand and calmly refused:

"It's late at night, go to bed early."

"Good night, Miss Sanita."

"Good night, young lord."

..............

The dawn light shone on the streets of Eselion. After a night of rest, the city had restored order from yesterday's chaos.

Lucius stood at the window of the room, overlooking the city that had just escaped from the crisis. There was a golden light flashing in his eyes, reflecting the rising sun.

"Brother Lu, the luggage has been packed, and the Orient Express has been resupplied and inspected. It's ready to depart at any time."

Iveliya stood behind Lucius, carrying a large suitcase.

But for some reason, the expression on her face at this moment was a bit guilty, and her eyes were glancing around, as if she had done something bad.

"Then let's go, Xiao Ai, it's time for us to continue our journey."

Lucius turned around, a smile on his face:

"Don't keep the Emperor in the capital waiting for too long."

Iveliya: ???

Even though he is the emperor of the Graria Empire, you have no respect for him and just call him Lao Deng?

You have been a rebel for a long time!

But it doesn’t matter, Brother Lu, I’m behind you. Just do whatever you want to do. I will support you no matter what you do.

I wish I could be the river and flow with you!

Ethelion Station was even busier than when Lucius and his group arrived.

The station was crowded with citizens who came to see him off, holding flowers and small flags, with grateful smiles on their faces.

Mayor Theodore still stood in the front row with the officials of Esserion.

"I didn't expect to be parting so soon, young lord. I hope you can stay here for a few more days next time you visit Aetherion so that we can express our gratitude to you."

"I will definitely be back, Mayor Theodore."

Lucius nodded slightly and reminded:

"Please also note that the threat posed by the Chaos Cult will not end here. I hope Aetherion will remain vigilant."

"Of course, of course!"

Theodore nodded repeatedly. "We have strengthened the city's defenses and patrols. We will never let something like this happen again."

"I wish you a safe journey, and the glory of the empire be with you, my lord."

Then the mayor turned to the crowd and announced loudly:

"Let us see Lord Lucius and his companions off! Wish them a safe journey!"

The crowd erupted in cheers and flowers were thrown into the air like raindrops.

Lucius stood at the entrance, waving to the crowd.

Iveliya:.......

Oioi, don't show off your charm so easily, kid.

It feels good for you to do this, but what should I do at night?

Seriously speaking, Iveliya, who was standing behind Lucius and watching this scene, was actually very proud in her heart.

This is the person she likes. Do you have such an outstanding and attractive male guest?

Half an hour later, with a long whistle, the Orient Express slowly started, carrying Lucius and his party to continue their journey to the imperial capital, Splenda.

The train drove out of the suburbs of Esserion, and its speed gradually increased. The scenery outside the window quickly receded, and the outline of the city was gradually replaced by rolling hills in the distance.

In Lucius's private carriage, a faint scent of sandalwood filled the air.

Xiao Ai began to perform her duties as a secretary, put on her pair of black-framed glasses without prescription, and sorted out the event log of Etherion.

Sanita sat leisurely on the soft chair by the window, playing with her void stone pendant in her hand, and her fingertips gently stroked the cool surface from time to time.

"Ah, this is only the first stop and it's already such a big event. I wonder what the Chaos Cult will do next."

Putting down the pen, Iveliya sighed heavily.

The more you sort out the events one by one, the more frightened you become.

It can be said that if it weren’t for Lucius and the others, Aetherion would have been a dead city.

Lucius leaned back in his chair and looked out the window:

"They're not going to give up, that's for sure, but I suspect after this setback they'll hold off for a while and reassess their strategy."

"I think they might be more anxious."

Sanita interjected, "After all, after passing the next stop, Lienia, we will have left the East and entered the Crown Territory."

"In Lienia, the fallen of the East will surely make a final stand."

Lienia, a beautiful lakeside city, is located on the shores of Lake Lienia and backed by the Genil Mountains. It is also the center of the Lienia Province.

Lienya is better known for its academic atmosphere than its picturesque scenery.

There is a magic academy in Lienia called Kalia. What makes it different from other magic academies is that this magic academy not only recruits students with extraordinary talents, but also recruits "waste stones" who are not destined to be extraordinary but have unique insights into the extraordinary system.

In Lienia, such people are called theoretical transcendents.

"That sounds scary."

Iveliya wrinkled her nose.

"What are you afraid of? Brother Lu is here."

Lucius patted his chest and said, "No matter what surprises the Chaos Cult has prepared, their ultimate outcome will be the same: I'll kick them to death."

A few days ago, Lu Ge set out on his journey from Vis City Station. Wherever my team went, the people gave us a warm welcome.

Could this little Lienia really stop Lugo's progress?

The three of them chatted casually as the train ran smoothly on the tracks. The warm sunlight came in through the windows, forming a warm spot of light in the carriage.

This was a rare period of peace and quiet for them since they left the city of Weiss.

Happy times are always short-lived.

In the evening, just as Lucius was enjoying dinner, an explosion suddenly came from the back of the train.

For a moment, the sound of tableware colliding and exclamations came one after another——

"what happened?"

"I don't know. It sounded like an explosion."

"Explosion? How is that possible?"

...

Ignoring the discussions, Lucius immediately stood up and walked to the back, followed closely by Iveliya and Sanita.

They passed through several carriages and finally arrived at the place where the explosion occurred - it was Rosaline's private carriage.

The carriage was filled with smoke and several guards were putting out a small fire.

"Master."

Reinhardt, who had already arrived at the scene, walked forward when he saw Lucius.

"How's it going?"

Lucius asked.

"A piece of luggage suddenly exploded. Fortunately, the explosion was not powerful and only caused some damage to the carriage. Rosalyn was also dining in the restaurant, so there were no casualties."

Reinhardt replied, then opened his palm to Lucius, showing him what was in his palm.

It looks like a fragment of a small statue, on which part of the emblem of the city of Aetherion can be vaguely seen.

"Is this... a souvenir from Aetherion's travels?"

Sanita glanced at the fragment and spoke in confusion.
