23. Black Gang Fire Clash
The assassins clearly aimed at my life, yet they didn’t present me with a straightforward death script like “die die die.” No matter the surrounding circumstances, to me, there could only be one possibility left—Ke Fei Er, who could rely on the protagonist’s halo to save me from the death script, had arrived!
Just as the two assassins, who appeared to be “fairies,” were about to slice me in half, Ke Fei Er indeed showed up! As she blew away the snow and ice, pushing one of them back, she deflected the weapon of the other fairy with her sword, then swept her away with a horizontal slash! At this moment, I was no longer worried about Ke Fei Er’s safety, because she could not possibly encounter any trouble from the “extras” in both scripts!
“Alsace, don’t let them get away!”
“Yes! Master!”
The blizzard raged, the howling wind roared; this was far beyond the level of my earlier bravado. Just the sight of her was enough to intimidate those two fairy assassins! Ke Fei Er would not let the enemies off so easily!
However, just as she was about to act, her gaze fell on me, and her steps came to a halt.
“Sorry, I only learned about the situation after I returned to the hotel. Coincidentally, there was a gathering of magical energy here, so I came right away…”
Ke Fei Er’s voice carried an apology, and her tone was far softer and weaker than the serious coldness from earlier.
“I’m sorry for coming late…”
No, big boss, you arrived just in time; being early or late wouldn’t have mattered.
I used Letty’s sword as support to stand up, beckoning Sister Rasputin to hurry over. Kephir’s appearance also meant that the currently weak Letty had completely escaped the dangerous scenario. At the same time, after giving me an entirely unnecessary apology, the clever Kephir immediately recognized who the real “culprit” was.
Her gaze instantly “latched onto” Lin Ke, watching as Lin Ke’s body trembled.
“Kephir…”
If I was merely one of the pretty boys in the Great Ying Empire in Lin Ke’s eyes, then Lin Ke could not possibly be unaware of Kephir’s genuine identity. As she quietly stepped back, waiting for the subordinates I had just electrocuted to crawl back to her side, she bit her lip and muttered.
“Those idiots, even in death they bring me trouble…”
Kephir wouldn’t be like Louis IV, pondering this and that, trying to secure the most favorable conditions. So before I could even speak, Kephir had already pointed her sword at Lin Ke.
“The Supreme Leader of the Meri United Kingdom, Lin Ke…”
At this moment, I found myself missing Louis IV’s calmness, because Kephir’s goal in the script was far too straightforward!
【Kephir holds a grudge against Lin Ke because of Euclid!】
However, it was too late for me to stop Kephir, as her words were sharp and decisive!
“Going after my fiancé, it seems you really want to make an enemy of our Great Ying Empire…”
“Fxxk, this pretty boy is your man?”
“!”
While I could somewhat understand Lin Ke’s shock and disbelief, her words struck a nerve with Kephir.
I hurriedly grabbed Kephir! Watching her struggle, wanting to stab Lin Ke!
“What are you doing!? This person from the Meri Kingdom just called you a pretty boy! I’ll make her shut up forever!”
But in reality, she wasn’t wrong; from an outsider’s perspective, I really was just a pretty boy!
“Kephir, Letty’s situation is urgent!”
After much persuasion, I finally managed to hold Kephir back. Although I felt displeased with how these Meri United Kingdom people used various underhanded methods, unfortunately, our private actions would only affect the development of Kephir’s new script in the Rodmar Empire. To put it another way, Lin Ke was also the Supreme Leader of the Meri United Kingdom; given Kephir’s identity, she might still need to report to the queen. We couldn’t just ignore everything because “I was mocked.”
Moreover, the two fairy “assassins” just now had me quite concerned. The moment Kephir appeared, they clearly weren’t at a disadvantage, yet this professional team didn’t care about the doubled wages on Lin Ke’s side and directly vanished without a trace. I couldn’t help but suspect that they had other motives besides targeting my life…
“Supreme Leader, what should we do?”
“Of course, we runaway! What else can we do!? Tsk, how did these two empires get mixed up…?”
As I was trying to persuade Kephir, Lin Ke also made a clean getaway, taking her subordinates, who had just recovered from the shock, and limping away. Naturally, Lin Ke’s departure meant that Letty was finally safe, and the dangerous scenario had completely vanished!
In this way, I had finally ensured Letty’s safety from the “dangerous script” she would encounter in the Rodmar Empire, right?
I let out a sigh of relief, mustering my exhausted body to meet Letty’s gaze, who was being carried by Sister Rasputin, preparing to return her sword.
“Empress Letty, it seems we are safe now, but after causing such a commotion, someone will likely come to check soon. So let’s endure for now and quicken our pace back to the hotel. Your sword…”
Letty did not accept it, merely mumbling softly and turning her face away.
“You keep it for now… Rasputin, carry me back, quickly, quickly!”
Then, not knowing what this little midget was thinking, she immediately kicked Rasputin’s sister in the butt, urging her to hurry up and run ahead. Without looking back, she dashed far away, leaving me and Kefir behind.
Although I had gained a chance to be alone, Kefir still pouted and complained.
“That golden-haired shorty is really something. I can let it go, I never expected anything, but she didn’t even say thank you to you…”
I didn’t mind, and looking at the script, it seemed that Letty’s true feelings weren’t as proud as Kefir thought.
【Letty shyly asked Rasputin to run away first!】
It was just Letty’s usual behavior, and…
If Letty really blushed and whispered an apology to me, wouldn’t Kefir turn into jealous mode again…
“Let’s hurry and leave, or it won’t be good if we get discovered. Then we can report today’s events to Sister Wang.”
As Kefir spoke, she pulled my arm. It sounded nice, but in reality, it was just Kefir wanting to deliberately take a detour.
I was just about to agree, but the next moment, the script that appeared surprised me; I wasn’t pulled away by Kefir.
【Nilu noticed the presence of Oujili and Kefir!】
Could this script mean…
“Kefir, wait a moment.”
I grabbed Kefir’s hand, watching the crowd gradually gather as the “gunfight” and “magic battle” that had just occurred here paused for a moment.
“Let’s wait here for a bit.”
I was looking for an opportunity to get closer to Nilu to facilitate my search for the script, and this situation brought the recent script, which was just the right opportunity for me to continue exploring Kefir’s “leveling up and treasure hunting” script in the Rodma Empire.
