Endless Silver Machine

Charlotte pushed Zi Ming's wheelchair out of the large bathroom in the castle.

When she first came to Zi Ming, she never asked herself to help push the wheelchair. She always used the magic drive to drive in front of her.

This was the first time that Zi Ming allowed himself to help her travel. Xia Luo still didn't know what had happened to her mood.

At least, this change is in a good direction, and Her Royal Highness is willing to accept herself as a servant.

When they reached the hall of the castle, the entire building suddenly shook with a huge sound of destruction coming from a distance.

At the same time, the hurricane swept from the castle stairs raged in the hall, and the imperial guards arranged by the Senate in the castle were slapped against the wall in an instant.

The wildly dancing wind wall raised pale white magic dust, and the visibility in the field of vision was greatly reduced.

"Scarlet Blade Spiral!"

In an instant, Xia Luo summoned his magic equipment to draw a square array around his and Zi Ming's wheelchairs.

Only the middle part is the gripping part, and the two ends of the short handle are connected to a huge spiral blade that flashes red light.

The hurricane did not invade the interior of the phalanx and disappeared quietly when it touched the edge of the phalanx.

"Sir Ai Zein, I'm very sorry, my ability cannot be used here."

The holder of the magic equipment can clearly feel the fluctuations of other magic equipment, so Zi Ming also noticed it.

If the anti-resonance of "Candle Dragon Gold" is used in the castle hall, all life here except Zi Ming will die.

"I will protect your safety, Your Highness."

"Charlotte Azern, I'm not here to fight you!"

At the outer edge of the square formation, the figure of a strange girl suddenly appeared.

Her cheeks still reveal a childish temperament, her soft short hair that reaches her shoulders is tied into a lively short ponytail on the side, and her skin is as pure and dazzling as the morning snow.

However, she was wearing black tights and suspenders that did not match the impression of innocence, which highlighted her immature body and the six thin wings on her back.

"Are you an elf..."

Charlotte raised the scarlet blade spiral horizontally to protect Zi Ming within his sight, and at the same time quickly scanned the castle hall.

The imperial soldiers who were hit by the hurricane were struggling to get up, but they were in a panic as if they were looking for something, as if they didn't see the three people right in front of them.

"My hallucinations can only last until the imperial knights who were lured away come back. Can you please listen to what I have to say first?"

The unidentified elf girl looked really anxious, and it was clear that she was the one who made the castle hall a mess.

"Your Excellency Ai Zein, just follow her request and listen to her words first."

"your Highness……"

"That's great...I was worried that if there was a conflict..."

The elf girl breathed a sigh of relief and stroked her chest, which seemed too natural. Charlotte had to be careful that her words and actions were all to make her relax her vigilance.

"Is the wind here your ability? Can you stop it first?"

The mechanical short crossbow in the hand of the elf girl exudes the unique magic power of the magic suit. It is not surprising that she could raise her hand to pull the trigger on Zi Ming at any time.

Hearing Charlotte's words, she waved the short crossbow in her hand several times in a panic.

"You misunderstood! I won't use this!"

What she got in exchange for her defense was the spiral tip of the scarlet blade pointed straight at herself.

Although she just wanted to convey that she had no hostility, wielding the magic costume so carelessly would of course lead to misunderstanding.

"What I want to say is that the 'Qianze' family and the 'Heinz' family have now set out to rescue the third princess."

The names of these two large families had long been buried in history, and only a group of people could emerge in Charlotte's mind.

"Your Excellency Aizein, do you know the people she mentioned?"

"Um……"

When that group of people caused an uproar in August, Zi Ming was not present.

Xia Luo simply answered Zi Ming's question, but his mind was filled with questions that suddenly poured out.

Now he should concentrate on facing the elf girl who suddenly appeared, but the name he had not seen for a long time also lingered in his mind.

"Someone asked me to assist in their plan, which is to bring Charlotte Ezein near the prison where the third princess is held."

Zi Ming could see the inner shake of the Elf girl from her expression, so this time it was her who asked the question in person.

"How should I address Your Excellency?"

"I'm sorry, it's inconvenient to tell you this..."

"I see, then I want to know who is behind you, but you can't tell me, right?"

"I'm sorry...but I really won't do anything unnecessary! I didn't want to come here originally, but..."

"Are you just planning to ask Mr. Aizein to assist those two families in their plans as requested above?"

"Yeah, that's just what I thought."

When answering this question, the Elf girl did not hesitate, and her answer was approved by Zi Ming.

She raised her head from the wheelchair and looked at Xia Luo, who was holding a gun to protect herself. The confusion in her heart had already been told to Zi Ming through her expression.

"Your Excellency Ai Zein, I believe she is not lying. If you want to save the imperial sister, just go with her."

"The person I want to protect now is Her Royal Highness the Princess..."

Charlotte didn't notice that her answer only put Zi Ming first, and naturally did not deny her desire to rescue the third princess from prison.

"After protecting me in this castle, will August's current situation change? On the other hand, there is no worse choice than staying with me."

Zi Ming truly accepted Xia Luo a few hours ago, and now of course he was not trying to drive her away from him.

For Charlotte, there is someone more important than herself waiting for her.

If Zi Ming fell into the same situation as her sister, at that time, she must have hoped that the little maid who didn't know how to fight could come to rescue her.

…………

Charlotte flexibly rotated the tip of the spiral spear and cut away the hurricane as sharp as a blade.

The hurricane that was raging in the castle hall was separated by the phalanx formed by the scarlet blade spiral cutting through the space, and had to stop.

"Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess is over there!"

"Protect Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess! Who is fighting with Her Majesty Aizein now!"

The elf girl jumped out from the wind wall and stepped on the void continuously, pulling the trigger of the mechanical short crossbow towards Charlotte in mid-air.

Invisible whistles of wind were fired from the short crossbow, but they were blocked by the spiral of the scarlet blade that was swung like a toy, and were sucked into the cut-off phalanx in the air.

The six wings flapping on the back of the elf girl were just the embodiment of magic power, and had no ability to help her fly. She just stepped on the wind wall and stayed in mid-air.

"Your Excellency Aizein, please hold on a little longer! The top knights will come for reinforcements soon!"

Imperial soldiers have protected Zi Ming. In fact, such a small number of people is not a threat at all in the eyes of the elf girl.

But she did not change her target to Zi Ming, whose defenses had become empty, but concentrated on dealing with the girl knight who was currently the greatest threat.

"Star Crossbow Deneb——"

The tornado that rolled up from the ground in the castle hall instantly destroyed the solid pillars, and the huge space suddenly rolled up falling earth and rocks.

Charlotte nimbly dodged the flying rocks that fell on her, but when her gaze returned from the broken pillar to mid-air, the figure of the elf girl disappeared from its original position.

"Hallucination..."

In order to adopt a defensive posture, she habitually took a step back, but her small body wrapped in a black tights suddenly flashed in front of her.

Charlotte, who had no time to defend herself, was hit in the lower abdomen by a magic-strengthened knee.

The unconscious body fell to the ground, and the scarlet blade spiral that slipped from her hand also lost its magic connection and shattered into magic particles.

"Your Excellency Aizein!"

Zi Ming called to the unconscious girl knight with a worried look on his face. The imperial soldiers who protected Zi Ming looked at the battle that was not on the same level as themselves. No one dared to step forward to help Xia Luo.

The elf girl was not attracted by the mournful cries behind her, and walked towards the fallen Charlotte, while raising the mechanical short crossbow towards her.

This move can only be understood as her wanting to completely remove this obstacle. Charlotte was now unconscious and defenseless.

"The person you want to protect now is not me. I order you to stop that person!"

"but……"

These imperial soldiers looked embarrassed when facing Zi Ming's order. They were just sent by the Senate to monitor the actions of the fourth princess and the eldest daughter of "Ai Zein". There was no need to go all out.

At this time, a magical light was shot from the top of the castle stairs, targeting the elf girl who had her back turned to the direction of the attack.

But she also sensed the attack coming from behind, and used the raised wind wall to protect her back without looking back.

"Great, the knight is back!"

The imperial soldiers who were ordered by Zi Ming to "die" immediately showed expressions of being saved, while the imperial knights who were distracted by the explosion on the top of the castle had just launched a warning attack.

"Stop using your ability immediately, otherwise you won't be merciful next time."

Among the several knights of the Imperial Knights, two of them hold magic armor, and the elf girl has entered their attack range.

But she did not obey the instructions and put down the weapon obediently. Instead, she took the unconscious Charlotte at her feet as a hostage.

"Don't come over!"

He could hear his voice trembling as he shouted, so it was impossible not to be scared in such a situation.

The knights saw that the ones she held hostage were the daughters of "Azein" and did not continue to narrow the encirclement.

"do not be afraid……"

Pointing the mechanical crossbow at Charlotte at her feet, the elf girl murmured in a voice that only she could hear, reminding herself that she could not continue to show cowardice in front of the enemy.

She took out a round glass bottle the size of a fingernail from under her black tights and quickly smashed it on the ground.

It was already too late when the knights discovered the Elf girl's intention. It took less than two seconds for the transfer magic circle to go from unfolding to closing.

The elf girl in black tights and the kidnapped Charlotte both disappeared from the place and were transferred to a transfer magic circle that was not known to be set up in Augustus or the imperial capital.

Seeing that the elf girl and Xia Luo had successfully separated, Zi Ming breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

At least until now, the identities of the attackers and hostages have not been revealed, and the small script planned by the three people is proceeding smoothly.
