Chapter 382: Strange CP Increases
"Magical creatures?"
Kira's words made the Emerald Princess Jura stunned at the same time. Didn't they swear before that it was a magic weapon? How come it has become a magical creature now?
"The enemy that Lord Kira just encountered was not a magic machine, but a magical creature?"
"Yes! The black hand hiding behind the scenes must have used some method to allow humans to obtain the power of monsters. The combat effectiveness of these orcs is far superior to that of the kingdom's soldiers, and even stronger than some wizards!"
Don't be fooled by the fact that Kira got five kills in just two minutes, that's because he's strong! If it were Elfman, he would still be arm wrestling with the opponent!
"But the price is also obvious. When we fought just now, I found that they had lost their minds and turned into beasts who only knew how to kill and would at most obey orders."
Kira continued, "Although these orcs seem to be cooperating well, it is still easy to find flaws if you observe carefully!"
Hearing this, Jura couldn't help but worry: "So, could it be that the Bosk Kingdom transformed his soldiers into orc troops?"
"It may not be the king's doing!"
Seeing that Kira was hinting at something, Princess Emerald asked weakly, "Do you think it's the Minister of Finance?"
Kira nodded silently.
…
While the meeting was going on here, in a secret room in Bosque Palace, King Bosque and the Minister of Finance were also discussing three people and the action plan.
"The plan failed?!" The king, sitting on the throne, looked at the finance minister standing below with dissatisfaction, "Didn't you say that those demons were the strongest ones in your hands?"
Although the two are brothers and even look 70% similar, they give people completely different feelings: one is like a ferocious tiger, and the other is like a cunning fox.
"I'm very sorry! This action was indeed my mistake. I didn't expect that the deputy captain of the guard team was such a strong wizard." The Finance Minister bowed his head and was very respectful to his brother who sat on the high throne. "This must be the man sent by Thomas to protect his daughter. He must be a wizard from the Kingdom of Fiore !"
"Hmph! They are all a bunch of useless things! I've said it before, your demons who can only kill are useless!" The king shouted angrily, and then said, "Since the plan to replace the guards has failed, don't use them anymore. Tomorrow is the last chance. Send out all the demon troops and machine troops, and make sure to keep the princess!"
"yes!"
One accused, the other admitted his fault. It was not difficult to tell from their words that the attack on Kira was instigated by the Minister of Finance and acquiesced by the King. The purpose was to kill Kira, and then send someone to disguise as him to lurk among the envoys and take the opportunity to kidnap the Emerald Princess. But the orcs were no match for them and the plan failed.
When the Chancellor returned to his room, his humble look instantly disappeared, replaced by a sinister and ferocious expression.
"Humph! Is such a person worthy of being a king?" As he spoke, he reached into his arms, took out a black magic book, gently stroked its cover, and muttered to himself proudly, "Tomorrow will be the day when you will completely fall. This devil's book can help me replace you and become the new king!"
"Sir, a new batch of test subjects has been brought back from the Kingdom of Fiore!" A figure slowly walked out from the shadows in the room and knelt on one knee in front of the Chancellor of Finance.
It was conscious and spoke clearly, and was very different from the orcs that Kira had fought. It also did not only know how to kill as the king said.
"I see!"
…
The next day was the day Kira and his group were scheduled to return.
For the past five days, apart from the attack last night, there has been no danger, which makes Kira very confused.
We have sent the princess to our doorstep, but you don't plan to keep her as a hostage? Does a king like this really want to start a war or take advantage of the border? Or does he want to wait until the team returns before taking action?
Kira didn't know that the King of Bosk really thought so.
The reason is simple: kidnapping directly would be tantamount to a complete fall-out, which would easily attract the attention of neighboring countries, so things could only be done secretly. But if the princess of a neighboring country died on the way to the diplomatic mission, her own country would have to be held responsible for it, which would be another layer of trouble; so the best time was on the return trip.
When the team returned, they rode in the same magic-powered vehicle as when they came, and it was a large vehicle at that.
Although this large vehicle was not built by Kira, it uses magic storage technology and is equipped with magic crystals as energy. The driver does not need to be a wizard, as long as he has hands.
At this time, in the vehicle in the middle of the team sat Princess Emerald, Kira, Jura, the diplomat and the driver. The rest of the escort was evenly dispersed in five vehicles, driving in a five-to-one formation.
Seeing the team getting farther and farther away from the palace of Bosque, the diplomat couldn't help but say: "I didn't expect that we could come back so easily!"
"Yeah, I didn't expect that!" Kira said calmly as he looked at the scenery along the way. "For such a simple and well-paid mission, please come to me more often in the future!"
The diplomat complained, "Kirasang, of course you think it's easy, you can just leave without worrying about anything after the battle, but I was arguing with the enemy army until midnight last night! It's all because you fought without caring about anything and made a mess around the diplomatic embassy!"
Kira looked at the dark circles under his eyes, patted his shoulder and said, "In your line of work, working overtime is very normal. You are still young now, you will get used to it in the future!"
The tone of his speech was just like that of a boss who was promising his employees good things.
"In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will know that the one who has the easiest time among us is Jurasan! After all, I went deep into the enemy camp to gather intelligence and fought a battle with the enemy's orc army; but the most difficult thing Jurasan has done in the past few days may be the fierce battle in the toilet this morning!"
The diplomat was speechless, while Princess Emerald covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
Jola blushed: "Ahem... I was not able to help at all. I am so ashamed!"
"No! Hasn't Lord Jura always been by my side protecting me? If you weren't there, I might have been attacked just like Lord Kira last night."
Hearing this, Kira couldn't help but nod secretly: You are worthy of being a princess, you are so polite when you speak! Sorry, Jellal! I stand by this weird couple in front of me!
…
Gerald: "Ah-Chu!"
"What? Are you catching a cold?"
"No! It's just that a chill suddenly surged in my heart."
"Could it be that Kira is putting a curse on you?"
"That shouldn't be the case. I think he's just saying bad things..."
…
There are princess and uncle type CPs these days. The age difference between Feicui and Jola is not big, and there is no big difference between 'Saint Ten' and 'Princess' in social class. They can both be described as "talented man and beautiful woman".
It just looked weird no matter how you looked at it, so Kira only stood for three seconds for this couple.
At this moment, there were suddenly several roars coming from outside, and the earth shook in response.
"Danger! There are enemies, stop the car!" Jola shouted to remind everyone, then opened the door and got out to check the situation.
But Kira reacted faster. As soon as he sensed the movement, he cast the magic in his hand: "Shield!"
The skilled Word Magic instantly turned into six rays of light that flew out, five of which fell on the five people in the car, and the last one fell on the car.
Just when the invisible shields were hung on a few people, attacks from nowhere fell on the mountain like raindrops, causing a series of explosions. The explosions set off dozens of strong air currents, about twenty of which were closer, and directly overturned the car Kira was in.
Boom boom...
After a dizzying spin, the car that several people were in landed steadily. Fortunately, with the help of the "shield", the entire car was safe and sound, and the people were also unharmed.
Kira exhaled a breath of foul air, rubbed his head, and recovered from the spinning: "I knew it wouldn't be that simple!"
"It looks like the enemy has taken action!" Jola said in a deep voice, then turned to Feicui and said, "Princess, please stay in the car, and leave the outside to us!"
As expected, Princess Emerald refused, looked at Jola and said firmly: "No! As a princess, how can I hide behind when I encounter danger? Please let me fight with you!"
This was said sincerely, but to Kira it sounded like "Please let me go and get killed."
Princess, can you have a little self-awareness?
"Uh... Your Highness, it is our duty to protect your safety. Please put the overall situation first!"
Don't make our mission more difficult!
