As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

Why is the master so excited today?!

After a fierce fight, she didn't win a single round.

Until the end, she grasped the sword with both hands and unleashed a full-strength attack, finally able to fight Roy on equal terms.

Behind the dazzling white sword, the two men retreated at the same time.

However, after Roy took several steps back, he regained his footing, but Alice was knocked out by the reaction force.

The dusty and breathless little maid stared blankly at the blue sky above her head, speechless.

I feel tired of love and have no desire to live.

The poor little maid finally realized the cruelty of the world. It turns out that falling in love also requires strength.

I can’t beat him, I can’t push him down, and I can’t be domineering at all!

Teacher! Your method doesn't work at all!

Amid the cheers from the whole audience, Roy wiped the sweat off his forehead, amazed by the wonderful performance of the little maid.

Alice almost succeeded several times, but for the sake of the Saint Guard's face, he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Fortunately, everything went as planned. The knights recognized their strength as guards and also felt that Alice was extremely talented, as she was able to fight a Sequence 6 to this extent.

At the same time, it protects the face of both of them, which is a win-win situation!

Thinking of this, Roy happily walked over to Alice, who was lying on the ground, and extended his hand.

"It's amazing! I almost thought I was going to lose several times."

"..."

Alice was hit hard and the corner of her mouth twitched.

In the end, he was unable to push his master down.

If it were Mr. Jon Snow, he would definitely have forced his master into a corner at this time.

Alice thought sourly, walked forward and held Roy's hand, looking listless.

"Why are you so listless?"

"Alas, Alice didn't..."

"Isn't he injured somewhere?"

Seeing Roy looking at her worriedly and the surrounding knights in a commotion, Alice wanted to say that she was fine.

But at this moment, her instinct as a girl finally took over.

Regardless of the skills taught by Charlotte and other love seniors, the girl, who failed to get what she wanted, felt aggrieved and instinctively wanted to shrink into Roy's arms.

By the time she came to her senses, the words had already left her mouth.

"Um, it seems like my foot is injured..."

"?!"

"let me see!"

Roy's face changed and he felt very ashamed. He was about to take off his shoes to check his injuries.

Alice quickly retracted her legs: "No need! I guess, the injury is not serious, I just can't walk, so, so..."

Lowering her head, Alice offered a lame excuse in a flat tone, "So, I might have to trouble you, Master, to hold me for a bit."

"If it's a minor injury, it can be healed with holy light, right?"

"This injury is actually not light. Alice has exhausted all her strength and has no more Holy Light power to spare."

Alice, who had never believed in goddesses, became devout at this moment.

The injury is not serious, but you can't walk?

The injury is serious, but you don’t want to seek treatment?

Are you injured or not? How injured is it?

After the initial panic, Roy carefully sensed Alice's breath.

Coupled with this overly clumsy explanation, Roy finally noticed a clue.

The little maid was clutching her sleeves tightly.

"So, I can only carry you back?"

"exactly."

Roy smiled helplessly, then reached around the girl's white legs, put his arms around her slender waist, and picked her up.

Throughout the whole process, Alice did not resist at all.

The majestic blonde knight who had fought against several knight commanders and even almost defeated Roy several times, now became a docile little lamb.

But the little maid was not as calm as she seemed.

Unlike the last time in the Kingdom of Golden Sands, Roy did not use [Calm as Still Water] to conceal his aura this time.

In public, Alice was held in Roy's arms like a princess. She was both excited and shy. She looked calm on the surface, but her legs were tense and her little hands were tightly grasping Roy's clothes.

Roy looked around and said, "Everyone, it's all my fault. Lady Alice seems to have been injured. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all."

"As a guard, I have no choice but to take responsibility and escort Lady Alice home."

The knights looked at each other in bewilderment, regretting that they were not Sequence 6 and could not be selected. Otherwise, they would have the honor of escorting the Saint Candidate, and perhaps they would be the guards incarnated as angels.

However, after seeing how Roy's strength surpassed Alice's, everyone felt more helpless than jealous.

On the other side, the monks were a little nervous.

The body of a Saint candidate is worth a thousand gold coins. If anything goes wrong, it will be a loss to Baigang and even the entire mortal world!

"Lady Alice is injured! Medical team! Medical team..."

Theresa waved her hand: "That's not necessary."

"That child is also Sequence 7 after all. Don't think she's too weak. Besides..."

Theresa's mouth curled up slightly in a pleased arc.

At my age, how could I not see through the little thoughts of young people?

"Besides, with such excellent guards taking care of you, you don't need to worry at all."

When young people are showing their love, don’t be a stepping stone!

Several monks hesitated to speak, but seeing the blond girl's usually cold face become soft and peaceful at this moment, and her adorable appearance of snuggling obediently in the boy's arms, they seemed to be healed by the beautiful and pure atmosphere of holy light, and ultimately did not step forward to intervene.

Chapter 64: Assassin

Outside White Harbor.

Somewhere above a tall building, the air was faintly distorted, revealing a blurry figure.

One of the seven most wanted criminals in the Academy City, a Sequence 5 transcendent, is now [Chameleon].

No one knew his true admiration.

The bloodline of [Twilight Chameleon] gives him the ability to distort light and shadow to create illusions and hide his breath.

Whether it is concealing the body shape or concealing the breath, [Chameleon] is a well-deserved master.

He even confidently declared that as long as no one took the initiative, no one below a high level would be able to track his whereabouts.

It is certainly not an easy task to assassinate a candidate for the Saint, but with the secret support of the Church of Holy Light, [Chameleon] was able to learn all of Alice's itinerary and security arrangements, and prepared for a long time in advance.

It’s not a sure thing, but it’s worth a try!

Unless some high-level transcendent is bored and suddenly drops from the sky, even if the assassination fails, he can escape safely!

On the one hand, the church of the East Continent promised to protect him.

On the other hand, as an assassin, Chameleon instinctively wanted to take action.

Assassinate the Saint Candidate.

For thousands of years, only the demons in the Third Age had accomplished such a feat!

And now, he will complete the feat that the demons had to devote all their strength to accomplish!

Several dark figures wearing bird-head masks appeared behind Chameleon at some point.

Just like other wanted criminals have their own forces, [Chameleon] also has his confidants.

Shrike, these were all expert assassins he had single-handedly recruited. They were few in number, but their strength was considerable. Even if they couldn't defeat White Harbor's transcendental guards head-on, they were more than enough to hold them off for a while.

"My lord, they are coming."

"very good."

Chameleon raised the corner of his mouth: "I want to see if the Saint of Destiny has that fate!"

------

Inside the carriage, the blonde girl still wearing knight armor looked out the window at the scene, her eyes blank.

It's like a wise man pondering the truth of the world.

How many times has this happened?

Why can't I overcome my inner desires?

Just by being coaxed by the master a few times, the body instinctively allows itself to be manipulated?!

As soon as he is patted on the head, fed, or held in my arms, his body becomes light and his brain becomes dizzy. He doesn't even have time to think and is completely useless!

It's impossible to take the initiative and capture the master!

Alice experienced firsthand how difficult it was to fall in love; it was impossible at all!

I secretly glanced to the side and saw that the black-haired boy looked normal, neither sad nor happy.

Looking back, I didn't succeed in any proactive offensive today. I was just enjoying myself.

I don't know if the master is moved...

Thinking of this, Alice sighed slightly and frowned.

Roy turned his head and asked: "Why are you sighing suddenly? Are you tired?"

"No, no."

"Really? Wearing armor is definitely not as comfortable as wearing clothes, right? Do you want to change back into your previous skirt?" Roy asked with concern.

"Oh, oh? But, but..." Alice glanced at Theresa.

"At least you can change your boots."

Even if it's just changing boots, in front of other people or something...

Theresa looked away tactfully: "I didn't see anything."

Alice was caught in a huge psychological struggle and was extremely entangled.

But just then the carriage drove onto the bridge.

Theresa suddenly looked up and raised her eyebrows.

Alice felt her chest tremble inexplicably, and instinctively felt uncomfortable.

Phoenix's casual reminder also echoed in Roy's mind.

"There's murderous intent."

"Can you still sense murderous intent?"

"Well, to be exact, it's the malice from the soul, right here..."

Before Roy could ask, a loud roar came the next moment.

The scorching flames tore the bridge to pieces.

The bridge deck, which was not very spacious to begin with, collapsed completely, and the guards fell into great chaos. Two white Pegasus that inherited unicorn blood also fell into the rubble and neighed anxiously.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
