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

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's been so long since someone challenged His Highness! This guy is quite courageous!"

"You who don't know your own limitations, wait for your embarrassment in front of His Highness!"

"You can't say anything for sure, right? Isn't Iron Blood very good at using weapons?" A young master asked weakly, immediately causing laughter from those around him.

"What's the point of being proficient in weapons?! Your Highness is a Sequence 8! How long has Roy been a Transcendent? It's even questionable whether he can master [Weapon Projection]!"

Most of the people present were Charlotte's suitors. Even though they knew there was no hope, they were happy to see Roy humiliated.

As for the others, even though they had some favorable impressions of Roy, objectively speaking, they didn't think he could win, so naturally, they wouldn't speak up for him. Instead, they were thinking about how to comfort Roy later, and those who wanted to improve their impressions had already started making plans.

Roy and Charlotte had no idea how their harmonious and friendly competition had been misinterpreted, and they stood at the shooting position together.

In the vast hunting ground, this moment belongs only to the two of them.

"After five seconds, release the prey!"

The moment the words fell, Roy and Charlotte raised their hands at the same time, ready to draw the bow and string the bow.

After receiving Charlotte's signal, the knight in the distance waited for five seconds and then opened the cage containing the Fiery Fox.

In an instant, a little fox jumped out far away like a pebble shot from a slingshot.

On the green grass, the flames were bright red and eye-catching, and they were moving frighteningly fast.

Fiery Foxes are often used to train military archers. A group of ten archers will be considered qualified if they can hit the target once in three volleys.

And those archers who can hunt the Fiery Fox on their own are well-deserved archers in the army.

Of course, no one doubts Charlotte's ability.

In less than five seconds, a flaming bow and arrow condensed in Charlotte's hand, and then a flaming arrow flew out suddenly and pierced through the little fox in the distance.

It was only then that Roy finally condensed an iron bow.

"How is it?" Charlotte glanced over, lifted a strand of hair casually, and looked proud.

Roy was stunned and uttered the classic line of a loser: "Best of three games."

"Okay, this is what you said!"

Charlotte is working hard to prepare for a new round of competition.

"I was saying, how could he possibly be a match for His Highness!"

There was a burst of laughter among the onlookers, but the sound was much quieter than before.

Some knowledgeable people have already noticed something strange.

Roy was too fast.

The speed at which a Sequence 8 can exert their abilities compared to a Sequence 9 should be vastly different, not to mention that Silver Bloodline is one level weaker than Gold Bloodline.

Roy's performance is almost unbelievable.

But what really surprised them was yet to come.

This time the prey is the Wind Shadow Bird.

The bird, not much bigger than a sparrow, flew into the sky in a few seconds.

Under the dazzling sunlight and the blue sky, the green figure of the bird is so blurry.

The Wind Shadow Bird is faster than the Fiery Fox. If an archer in the army can hit it, it will not only be famous, but it will not be an exaggeration to say that he can brag about it for the rest of his life.

Charlotte started out quite quickly, but this time, she fired three arrows in a row, and each time she just grazed the edge of the Wind Shadow Bird, she couldn't hit it.

But just as Charlotte was about to shoot the fourth arrow, Roy moved.

The exquisitely crafted subway bow made a cold and clear sound at this moment.

With a whoosh, a stream of cold light flew high into the sky and then slowly fell down.

It seemed that the speed was not fast, but it landed accurately on the head of the Wind Shadow Bird!

"How is it?" Roy put down the bow, imitated Charlotte's expression just now, and glanced at Charlotte playfully.

"It's not over yet! We agreed on a best of three game!" Charlotte also gritted his teeth, but he was not annoyed, just urged.

The long-lost fierce competition made her forget the bet and completely immersed in the desire to win.

The noisy laughter died down, and the onlookers were also immersed in this difficult-to-determine contest.

The sleepy knight also did not expect that there was actually someone who could defeat Charlotte, so he also perked up and released three wind shadow birds in a row this time!

Charlotte once again took the lead, but this time Roy's iron arrow followed closely behind.

If he just concentrated his arrows, he wouldn't drop too many.

Poor birds, both were pierced by arrows one after another.

The wind-shadow bird, which always flew high in the clouds and laughed at the slowness of human beings in flying arrows, had never seen such a scene. It was so frightened that its droppings kept falling, and it flapped its wings continuously, running for its life with all its might.

The outcome depends on this last arrow.

Roy and Charlotte realized this at the same time, and they no longer cared about careful aiming, but instead pursued speed.

Roy hastily nocked three arrows, the latter of which condensed into an extremely hot flame.

Just when the outcome was about to be decided, the girl's heroic figure inadvertently entered Roy's field of vision.

Roy couldn't help but lose his mind at the princess's intense concentration. He suddenly understood why someone would rather be shot than be gazed at by those jewel-like crimson eyes.

Charlotte's eyes met Roy's eager gaze, and her heart was fluttering for a moment.

He, why is he looking at me suddenly?

Both of their movements were chaotic and they lost their accuracy.

The Wind Shadow Bird narrowly escaped three iron arrows and a rocket in succession, and was overjoyed. However, it never dreamed that the flaming arrow behind its butt would suddenly explode and swallow it up on the spot.

Chapter 102: Promise

The magician in charge of the recruitment was a little confused.

It was just a formality, why did two A-level adventurers suddenly show up?

Are all the A-rank adventurers nowadays so idle?

However, in the eyes of other adventurers around, Hex's registration has another meaning.

No adventurer would be so bored as to join in the fun!

"First it was the [Sword Ghost], then the [Fighter]..."

"Brothers, you all understand, right?"

Everyone exchanged glances, and their expressions became sharp.

The Mage Society's war against the Purple Demon School might not be as simple as it seems. The fact that two A-rank adventurers have signed up in quick succession might be due to insider information and the desire to make a killing!

There is money to be made!

Thinking of this, they could no longer sit still.

In such a big war, even if they can't eat meat, they can always have some soup, right?

[Thunder Gun] Reid took the lead, standing up and raising his hand.

"Friend, take me with you!"

Led by him, a group of adventurers stood up and signed up enthusiastically.

"Take me too!"

"And I!"

"The school is in trouble, I have to come and help!"

Hex was stunned for a moment, then he became convinced that this mission did have a hidden story and was profitable, otherwise there wouldn't be so many adventurers signing up!

Roy was stunned and felt a little puzzled. He was here for the Fate-Defying Node and Lyanna, so why did these people have to get involved? Are adventurers nowadays so idle?

Red Magician... He didn't have time to be stunned, because there were too many people to sign up, and he was writing so fast that he couldn't remember them all.

Who knew he'd just come for a formality and bring so many adventurers? I wonder if the society's military budget can sustain it...

"These treacherous bastards!"

In Cassandra's mansion, the chief purple magician Marvin, without any previous courtesy or politeness, cursed at the waiter who came to report.

"Damn those cultists! Without our Cassandra family, how could they have stayed safe and sound in the Citadel for so long? They were the ones who started this whole mess, and now they're just walking away!"

"[Evil Dragon Society], [Withering], [Abyssal Lurkers], [School of the Undead], every one of these bastards is a bastard!"

No wonder Marvin was excited.

With six major factions fighting against one of them, the difference in combat power was obvious at a glance. He had originally hoped that those cultists could block the bullets in front, but unexpectedly, these guys ran faster than rabbits at the critical moment.

Until a steady, dark voice, with a certain connection to this journey, came from the side.

"That's all right. I never expected anything from them anyway."

"The Purple Demon School's affairs will be resolved by us, the Purple Demon School."

Hearing this voice, Marvin turned around in a daze and looked at the middle-aged gentleman standing with his hands behind his back. The restlessness on his face suddenly disappeared, and his eyes became slightly cloudy.

He opened his mouth instinctively, but his thoughts seemed to be covered by a thick fog: "But, but..."

"No buts." Dia stepped forward, patted his shoulder gently, grinned in his ear, and uttered a bewitching voice.

"Since the day I adopted you, when have I ever lied to you?"

"Go and make preparations. Let our enemies witness the wrath of the Purple Demon School."

"......Yes."

As soon as he finished speaking, the chief magician turned around like a puppet and walked out of the room together with the waiters who were also moving stiffly.

Only then did Dia stop smiling and think about the content of the other party's report.

"They're moving so fast. It seems these cultists have another hiding place in the Citadel."

"Haha, human internal fighting is always so interesting."

He turned around and looked at the beautiful woman with purple hair and purple eyes who was slumped in the corner.

Lisanna's eyes were dull and lifeless, but if you looked closely, you could see that her fingertips were trembling slightly, as if she was trying her best to resist.

"As expected of a descendant of that lord, even if he hasn't awakened and is on the right path, he can still be so resistant to my power." Dia couldn't help but admire.

He walked up to the beautiful woman with a teasing look on his face, looking down at her and admiring her struggle.

"You know it's useless."

"The humans who are obsessed with infighting can't save you. They will only devour the Purple Demon School you founded. But there's nothing to be sad about. After all, most of the people in the school are my people over the years."

"Everything is going according to my plan." Having said that, Dia looked out into the dark night and smiled coldly.

"Don't worry, you and your daughter will be reunited soon."

In the corner, Lisanna's fingertips suddenly raised for a moment.

But that’s all.

----------

Even after returning home, Roy couldn't understand why the adventurers were so excited about this war.

But he didn't worry too much.

Regardless of the reasons, the more combat power there is, the better. Hundreds of adventurers combined are already a very strong force.

Although it is not as powerful as the Purple Demon School, it is comparable to the power of those schools that are not good at fighting.

The Magicians' Society has already sent people to seal off all bases of the Purple Magic School and is expected to officially take action over the weekend.

It just so happened that Roy had some other preparations to make.

But before that, he had to explain it to the little maid.

"So, Master, are you going to help the Guild Master?"

"Yeah. Of course, there's also the reason for the society. It can't hurt to do them a favor."
