A small house in a village outside Longxiao City.

"It's been five years, Cohen, and my dear Miranda, did Tari send you here." In the dimly lit room, the girl with short hair on the wooden bed, Kroaishi Meilk turned towards them A complicated but peaceful smile appeared: "It is the best comfort to see you now."

"Thank you, Uncle Kaslan." The short-haired girl thanked Kaslan on the side with a blank expression.

Miranda frowned tightly.

Even as careless as Cohen, he can't help but notice that the Northland girl Croix has changed greatly over the same period.

Compared with the high-spirited Kroëch Melk five years ago, she has not only lost a lot of weight, but is also much darker. The perseverance that was once engraved on the round face like a seal, I don’t know when it has become Bitterness and loss.

Cohen's gaze shifted to her hand, and her breathing suddenly choked.

This girl who had a firm face when she was in the tower, trained hard and never gave up lightly...

Her right hand holding the sword...

Being tightly wrapped in a bandage.

"Crow Ash..." Cohen tried his best to look away from her right hand, squeezing out an ugly smile, and slowly and carefully: "Are you still... alright?"

How are you doing?

As soon as he spoke, Cohen felt an urge to slap himself.

Croaix looked at him slowly, without any waves in his eyes.

"Fortunately," the girl's hollow eyes made Cohen's heart aching: "It's just the right hand...you can't touch the weapon anymore."

Silence.

Cohen was embarrassed not knowing how to answer: Damn, it would be nice if Raphael was here at this time, comforting people has always been the white boy's strength.

Sure enough, Miranda stepped forward, leaving Cohen a blank eye.

Then, like countless times in the past, she stomped Cohen, who was looking innocent, quietly.

"Hiss——"

Just as Cohen grinned in pain, Miranda sat on the edge of Croix's bed, her expression unchanged, and she said decisively: "Who did it?"

Any comfort at this moment is pale—Miranda thought to herself: It’s better to get straight to the subject and let her stop thinking about those unnecessary things.

Caslan on one side coughed.

In the face of Kroaishi, the old leader of the former Blade Guard didn't say much.

Such a situation, he has seen it in too many retired soldiers.

Caslan sighed deeply in his heart.

And they—the soldiers never know how lucky they are to be wounded and retired.

Crow Ash came back to his senses and smiled ugly.

"I think you all should know some of the causes and consequences," Croaich's tone calmed down, not like a swordsman who had just lost hope of using his sword: "An officer named Hardy is lurking in the black sand collar. In the army, you almost assassinated your prince with a magic gun under the fortress."

Cohen nodded.

"I saw that scene at Broken Dragon Fortress, but I didn't see it clearly. I thought it was just a demonstration test." Miranda answered silently.

"By the way, Miranda, you are now in the Kingdom of Stars. You are an effective officer under the fortress flower, aren't you?" Kroaishi smiled at the same period before, then glanced at his right hand. His face dimmed, and he uttered a few words:

"Congratulations."

Miranda's expression was flat and she didn't speak, she just reached out her hand silently, and clenched Croix's left hand.

Feeling the temperature in Miranda's hand, Croix trembles slightly.

"That...ah!"

Cohen scratched his head and was about to speak, but Miranda gave him a blank elbow and knocked him back.

Cohen continued to grind his teeth silently, while continuing to protest against Miranda with his eyes.

Crow Ash chuckled.

This scene reminded her of previous scenes in the Tower of End.

Caslan, who was holding his arm, looked at Miranda approvingly-a really attentive and considerate girl, and he unknowingly lifted Croaich's mood.

The girl from Arund’s family, but her face is a little bit cold, it’s better to laugh more.

"According to the Grand Duke’s instructions, we tracked down the Arms connector of the Hardy officer," Kroaishi kept smiling, and continued: "They removed Hardy from the army. It should have been The destroyed magic gun parts are sold to the South and the West. Hardy uses this in exchange for more funds, and then uses these funds back for troop training and human relations."

"In a few years, perhaps the Lord Lord's Magic Gun Squad will be under the control of those people. Fortunately, we found out early and intercepted his underground arms trade connector."

"That officer...what information did you find about him?" Miranda said softly.

"Not much." Kroaixi said indifferently:

" Hardy came from a small village farther north, which was the territory of Grand Duke Lecco, the guard city. He was the witness of the war between Exeter and the stars eleven or two years ago. The Dragon Fortress survived the offensive and defensive battle, and lost a hand and half of his face under the bombardment of the magic gun."

Miranda paled.

It was another war twelve years ago.

Cohen sighed and stepped forward, carefully avoiding Miranda's unarmed attack range, and slowly asked: "The Kingdom of Exter, one of the two princes in the north? The Lecco family? So Grand Duke Lecco once conspired to use the magic gun to murder the star prince?"

Kroeich shook his head: "It's not that simple. Hardy came to the Black Sands after the war and has lived there until now. He has no contact with anyone related to the City of Defense-so I can't be sure it is him." /

"But one thing makes us very suspicious."

"We interrogated Hardy's arms adapter and found that Hardy mentioned it once by accident. He has a daughter named Lucy."

Cohen's eyes lit up: "Did you find his daughter? She has a problem?"

"It's not just that there is a problem." Croashy tightened her lips and shook her head:

"But there is no such person at all."

"No...this person?" Cohen asked puzzled.

"Hardy has been single for more than 40 years. This is what we confirmed from his neighbors--he doesn't even have a wife or lover, not to mention children." Kroaixi said quietly.

"We followed the name Lucy down... and found that he mentioned the name Lucy to more than one person."

"From the black arms market led by Heisha to the transportation team led by Welan, when the clues chased Longxiao City, we encountered an interception," the short-haired girl raised her head, her face scared: "A batch of strange swords The hand appeared."

Miranda frowned: "Sword of Disaster?"

Crow Ash lowered his eyelids and nodded.

"What are they like, how many people are there?" Cohen's expression moved. He ignored Miranda's dissatisfaction and asked anxiously: "What kind of ending power are they using? How to recognize them Is it the Sword of Disaster?"

Caslan, who listened quietly, frowned.

"There are a lot of them, with their heads and faces covered, and the night is dark, so they can't see their figures and looks. But their power of ending...just like Teacher Chatier described," Croyy Xi said indifferently: "Indifferent, violent, and the power of ending is surging and never stops."

"I am the only one who escaped back."

Cohen was stunned.

But he immediately reacted: "Is there any more information? When and where did they appear? For example, how did they make swords..."

"I told Uncle Kaslan about the specific information they appeared," but Kroaishi just gritted his teeth and shook his head bitterly: "Go finish your mission, whether it's to end the tower, It’s for your star prince."

Cohen wanted to ask again, but Miranda took his arm and shook his head.

"I'm tired." Kroaixi said slowly, slowly turning over and facing the wall: "I want to rest for a while."

The two of Cohen and Miranda looked at each other, then looked at Croaich, and finally said goodbye to Kaslan's gaze.

"Cohen."

Before leaving, Croash suddenly stopped the guard of the stars.

Cohen looked back in amazement.

I saw her turning her head and raising her eyes, with inexplicable complex expressions in her eyes: "You..."

"Be careful."

Cohen was stunned for a moment, and then was pulled out of the room by Kaslan.

"You have seen her... to be honest, from my observation, I don't think she is really hurt to use the sword anymore, but the obstacle in her heart prevents her from continuing to use the sword. "Caslan said lightly.

"What do you mean? Obstacles in my heart?" Miranda asked with a frown.

"Kroeich is the daughter of my old man in the Blade Guard." Following the two young people walking outside, Kaslan looked at Longxiao City in the distance and shook his head: "You met in the End Tower She, then you should know that she has a high spirit-I guess it is also because of your indoctrination from the stars..."

"Hey!" Cohen protested: "What is the indoctrination of'our star people'? Croix has always been..."

Caslan ignored him, and he was honest:

"She has been strong since she was a child, and always wanted to become a legendary female knight like Lorraine in Heart of the Rain."

"Heart in the Rain, Lorraine, I heard that Master Shao was at the same time as you?" Cohen asked curiously: "The Mercenary of the Banner Leader in the Donglu Humble Succession War?"

"Well," Kaslan paused in the memory as if he was evoked from the past, and then smiled and said: "There are always women you won't dare to mess with in your life."

Immediately, the earth-shaking old man Kaslan sighed: "After experiencing the training of the End Tower, Croix was even more ambitious. When he came back, he even recommended to go to the White Blade Guard for an assessment and wanted to join the White Blade Guard. ………"

Miranda raised her head, her eyes burning: "But she failed?"

Caslan raised his eyebrows: "The Blade Guard rejected her-it was a big blow to her."

Miranda was puzzled: "Strike? As far as I know, the selection standards for the White Blade Guard are very high..."

"It was not rejection that hit her," Kaslan interrupted her and turned her head: "It's the reason for her rejection."

"The reason for rejection?" Miranda looked at him steadily.

"What is it?"

Caslan took a breath without answering.

"I know." Just when Miranda was about to speak, it was Cohen on one side who answered.

I saw the police officer sighed: "Because she is a woman, right?"

Caslan looked at Miranda intently and nodded: "Yes."

"Because she is a woman."

Miranda clenched her teeth unconsciously.

"Although many people say that we Northlanders are very sturdy, even women and children can pick up weapons when we become aggressive," Kaslan sneered, "But according to my wife, most of the Northlanders People still think that territories, politics, wars, and noble inheritance are all men’s matters, and women should stay home and wait for their husbands to return."

"In this way, Kroaishi took her sword to and fro various lords, but bumped into walls everywhere-a woman who has experienced complete training in the Tower of End, a super swordsman, but can't be even an earl Get a job there..."

"Some viscounts and barons are willing to take her in, on the condition that they marry them after the expiration of the term... There is no doubt that it is for her father's sake in the Blade Guard."

Miranda lightly squeezed the hilt of the sword around her waist.

Compared with the smooth sailing of the stars, the care of his father, the care of Sonya... Is this what Croix faced in the Northland, what happened to Exeter?

"Hearing from her father... Kroaishi even considered going to the Southwest, to the Thorny Land or the Dragon's Kiss Basin, or even the Great Desert, to become a mercenary."

"But in the end she reached the black sand collar, and under her father's name, she went to my incompetent nephew, a Viscount named Cambida, who mixed up a position in his territory." Kaslan sighed. Road:

"I suspect this is one of the methods that Charman Rumba used to win me over, but looking at Kroaishi like that..."

"Plus this time..."

Caslan shook his head.

"So you know why, Aarond's little girl," the old man raised his gaze and looked at Miranda: "A dress like you, to be honest, is too eye-catching in the North."

Miranda didn't say a word, just staring at Longxiao City in the distance.

"When I was on the western front, there were occasional shortages of soldiers, so there were also some female soldiers there." Cohen slowly spoke:

"Enlisted for various reasons such as being unable to survive, from death squads to serving in the military. Most of them are female mercenaries from the southwestern countries, but they... are often unpopular," Cohen's eyes flickered:

"Innately smaller than men's strength and weight, special requirements for upper body armor style, height at an absolute disadvantage-this is often deadly when facing orcs, because you must jump to attack their vitals."

"Of course there is once a month...you know."

"They are very poor in the military camp. Sometimes, they often rely on..." Cohen lowered his head, frowning between his eyebrows: "...come to please the chief and colleagues."

"And once they fall into the hands of the enemy, especially the Desolate...they often end up worse than men."

"So even me, when the commando chooses soldiers, I often avoid female soldiers."

Miranda still did not speak.

"I guess this is almost a consideration for the Blade Guard," Kaslan sighed: "It's one thing to learn swords in the Tower of End, but...women are inherently not suitable for the battlefield."

"Excuses."

Miranda suddenly raised her head and snorted coldly: "You men all only see the disadvantages of female soldiers on the battlefield, and deliberately ignore their advantages."

"Advantage?" Kaslan frowned.

Cohen raised his eyebrows helplessly and spread his hands towards Kaslan from an angle that Miranda could not see.

"It consumes less than men, far surpasses men's endurance, unimaginable flexibility and flexibility, fine and keen observation, and calmness in the face of danger. These are all the advantages of women," Miranda said indignantly. : "Even if it is better than strength and height-taking Kingdom Fury himself, I witnessed with my own eyes that his height and strength are not as good as Her Excellency Sonia! What's more, we still have the power to end!"

"And I am also a woman," Miranda said coldly: "In the Tower of End, I am better than you, better than you, better than Raphael, better than Misaton, and better than each of you in the same period. "

"Not to mention, there is a legend of the Valkyrie like the Knight of Lorrain in the Heart of the Rain thirty years ago!"

Cohen coughed awkwardly.

"Uncle just said, the battlefield is another matter...and you can't compare with some special people," the police officer spread his hands helplessly: "'Heart in the Rain' is a special case in the special case. Sony. Lord Ya is also a legend under the Duke of Xinghu. Miranda, you are the daughter of the Allende family. You were born to be trained as a warrior, lord and commander..."

As soon as Cohen finished saying these words, Miranda's murderous gaze shot straight over, and gave him a heartbreak.

He also truncated the second half of his sentence in his throat.

"I think that both the Western Wilderness and the Northland are special," Kaslan grinned: "The Western Wilderness is the front line of perennial turmoil, and the people of the Northland have a long way to see women..."

"I am also from the North!" Miranda retorted with a cold face.

Old man Caslan led them to the stable, and two men who looked like soldiers bowed to him.

"You are a northerner of the stars, or an Aaron, you even allow women to inherit. As far as I remember, you even had a queen hundreds of years ago."

"And Northland," Kaslan sighed: "I accept a female knight, a female lord, and even a queen..."

"It's still far away."

No, even in the stars, the female lord is still despised-Miranda silently said in her heart: hundreds of years ago, the queen of the stars did not end well.

"There will be one day," Miranda raised her head, her eyes firm: "On that day, female warriors, female swordsmen, female lords, and even queens will no longer be a minority. We will prove to the world that men can I did it."

"Women can do the same."

Caslan shrugged and walked into the stable.

Cohen stuck out his tongue, thought of his two demonic sisters in the family, and sighed helplessly.

Miranda... How could Raphael like her.

But when he thinks of Raphael, his current position and the power of ending in him, Cohen's heart is heavy again.

"The army led by the Black Sands is stationed in a village near Longxiao City in order to **** the prince. They will bring Kroaishi back." Kaslan took two horses and looked at the two young men. Noble Swordsman: "The next task is up to you."

"Are you not going?" Cohen raised his eyebrows.

"My appearance is not a good idea," Kaslan's face dimmed: "It will disturb too many people."

"Fortunately, I still know some people in Longxiao City, some old acquaintances, they can provide you with information, but when it comes to specific investigations and inquiries, I can identify the sword of disaster from the sword of end." Kaslan handed the horse's rein to the hands of the two: "No one is more expert than you, than the seeds of the end of the tower, whether it is the innate insight of the nobles, the superior combat power to adapt to the battlefield, or the disaster The induction of the sword."

"Know some people in Longxiao City?" Cohen showed a skeptical expression: "Uncle, you have been leading the tavern in Heisha for twenty years?"

"Ah, this," Kaslan touched his gray hair awkwardly: "I lived in Longxiao City for many years."

"The manpower will still be available in twenty years?" Cohen frowned.

"Have been keeping in touch..." Kaslan looked around, and then he smiled: "And all the time, many old men of the Blade Guard have stayed in Longxiao City after retiring. When they ask for life, I help Some busy..."

"Ask for life? Help?" Cohen's doubts aggravated.

"Well, when some retired soldiers are not easy to mess with, I will lead them in the middle...find some work to do," Kaslan coughed unnaturally, "You know, there is always some work that needs to be done. Those who fight will do it..."

"Just tell them to introduce them to the gangsters," Miranda looked contemptuously: "It's easy for us to understand."

Kaslan coughed loudly, overwhelming Miranda's words: "The gang of your stars in the last ten years, the brotherhood of the fraternity has made a lot of noise, and even has done business here. Some. Old friends are always short of staff, and I want to introduce them to them, so..."

"What?" Cohen's eyes widened: "After a long time, uncle, you-are you actually the gangster and introducer of Longxiao City?"

Caslan's coughing became louder and louder. Under the suspicious eyes of the two young men, he raised his head awe-inspiringly and patted their shoulders: "Anyway~IndoMTL.com~ Regardless of the mission of the Tower of End , It's Kroaishi's confession, or the truth about the assassination of your star prince, it's up to you!"

Miranda and Cohen, one showed contempt, while the other shook his head.

"Remember, your mission is only to investigate, not to kill for an unconfirmed news," before leaving, Kaslan became serious: "But you all have contact with the sword of disaster, and even live from them. The ability to come down."

"As long as I don't meet a swordsman in the extreme realm...I believe in your strength."

The two looked at each other and nodded seriously.

"My people will help you... But if you make a big mess, remember to hide yourself... Although your prince is going to Exeter, the tension between the two countries is largely affected by him. The arrival of the stars has decreased, but it is not a good thing for the stars, especially the family members of the star nobles, to rashly expose their identity here."

"In addition, what you need to care about and worry about is not just the sword on the face," Kaslan narrowed his eyes: "The sword of disaster is likely to be with a lord of Exeter— —For example, if a certain great prince cooperates, in any case, they deliberately unite with the lord and do something like assassination of the star prince. Their purpose is probably not simple."

"I see," Cohen took a breath and turned on his horse: "We will find out their details and truth, whether it is to assassinate the prince, or the intention is not good for the Tower of End."

Miranda didn't talk much, and after nodding lightly, he rode away directly.

Cohen followed close behind.

Kaslan looked at the two leaving figures, and then at Longxiao City in the distance, with a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.

I stepped into Longxiao City from here back then. (To be continued.)
