Chapter 369 Wood, how dare you go against your sister!
Seeing Lazy turn into golden light points and disappear in Wood's hands, everyone present also showed a look of disbelief.
The magic used by Wood was something they had never seen before. The magic of yang and yin attributes was extremely rare, and there were not many people who could master it and use it.
And they have never seen a magician who can use "yang attribute" magic to this extent.
The opponent is the Archbishop of Sins of the Witch Cult. No matter which kingdom is located nearby, he is a heavyweight criminal and possesses great strength.
But now such a witch cult cadre who had been at large for many years was killed by Wood's magic!
They also saw the female figure that appeared in the holy light at the end. At first, many people thought it was the legendary angel.
But later they discovered that the figure was a female elf, and judging from her appearance, this female elf seemed to know the Archbishop of Sin, Sloth.
"Wood, tell me, what's going on with the caravan over there?
I seem to have heard you say before that you are not very interested in so-called merchants, but now you are helping her form a caravan for that half-elf!
You clearly know that the half-elf is also my sister's competitor this time, and the only advantage we have here is the economic advantage of the Hexin Chamber of Commerce."
After getting out of danger, he defeated the white whale and the lazy Wood with a crushing force. It can be said that his aura has been directly strengthened. Others dare not approach the current Wood.
However, there was an exception for a beautiful figure. Not only was the opponent not afraid of Wood, but he also walked up to Wood with a menacing attitude, and like an angry tigress, he directly grabbed one of Wood's ears.
And this Qianying is naturally none other than Wood's sister who grew up in the slums with Wood in this world, Anastasia Hessing.
When he saw Subaru Natsuki, Stinger and others appearing here, Wood knew that he was going to do something wrong. Originally, he wanted to secretly apply oil on the soles of his feet, but Anastasia seemed to have expected it.
Wood had just defeated Sloth, and Anastasia had already asked the three Mimi siblings to stop Wood on the other side.
"Sister Anna, what are you talking about? I don't understand it at all..."
Emilia did form a caravan at that time, but that was all the attention of Natsuki Subaru over there, and he was also the person in charge of the caravan, and I was just a jungler."
The memories that appeared in Wood Hesing's mind about the sister he grew up with made Wood feel that the Anastasia in front of him was extremely kind, as if those memories were his own personal experiences.
And for his sister, who has always been strong and somewhat willful, Wood seems to have some natural fear...
"Don't do this to me. The guy named Stinger and the other guys just now became as scared as a grandson when they heard your name.
Anyone who is not a fool can see that the reason why they helped Emilia protect the caravan was all because of you.
My sister is very angry now. Not only did you become someone else’s knight, but you also helped others deal with my sister!”
After hearing Anastasia's words, Wood immediately looked at Stinger and the others not far away. It wasn't until Stinger and the others' scalps went numb that he finally admitted frankly: "Yes, Stinger and the others did obey me.
Acting on orders.
But I definitely didn’t mean to target Sister Anna. I just wanted the people in the assassination organization to successfully transform.
If Sister Anna has any doubts, we can form an alliance together and let Natsuki Subaru's caravan cooperate with the Hexin Chamber of Commerce."
Wood's original idea was to have the assassination organization under his control grow stronger with the financial support of the caravan, and slowly penetrate into various surrounding kingdoms and races to facilitate future intelligence work.
But after the incident between White Whale and Sloth, Stinger and the others have been exposed in advance, so there is no other way.
Instead of waiting for Natsuki Subaru to slowly help the caravan grow, it would be better to directly report his sister's big white legs.
"No! It's okay to ally with anyone, but it's impossible to ally with that half-elf!
That half-elf has a good idea, and wants to snatch profits from me through the caravan, so she can just return my brother to me!"
Hearing Wood's proposal, Yurius on the side was very happy and wanted to suggest Anastasia agree.
However, before he could speak, Anastasia categorically rejected Wood's suggestion and ordered Wood to go back with her this time!
"Sister Anna, I have always said before that I am not your personal belongings, and you cannot be too possessive about anything.
And you used to be the least discriminatory against demi-humans, so why are you talking about half-elves now..."
Wood tried to persuade his sister to calm down, but at this moment Anastasia was obviously in a state of insecurity, hugging Wood tightly and not letting go.
Because she was afraid that Wood would run away, Anastasia even asked the cat triplets to hug Wood. Unfortunately, Black Tarot and Tibby felt that they were mature men and were determined not to do such a shameful thing.
However, Mimi didn't care at all and jumped up directly without hugging the back of Wood's head.
"Since Miss Anastasia and the others refuse to form an alliance with you, I, Crusch, am very interested in cooperating with your Emilia camp."
While Wood and Anastasia were having a sibling farce, Crusch finally took in the previously separated retainers and, accompanied by Phoenix and Wilhelm, walked towards Wood.
Curio is the seeded candidate among the five royal candidates, and he himself had enough confidence in inheriting the throne.
But after this crusade, Crusch's original firm confidence began to waver...
Ultimately, the reason was because of the Guards Knight Wood Hessing in front of them at this moment.
Among the five candidates for the throne, Emilia was originally the least competitive, and the others probably didn't take her seriously at first.
But through this incident, Curxiu realized that the so-called "weakest camp" was not as weak as they thought!
Wood Hessing's personal combat power as a knight is already comparable to that of the Sword Master Reinhardt, and judging from his operation of taking people from the assassination organization into his own hands, it can also be seen that Wood is not only powerful, but also
It is also very good in terms of layout and strategy.
Even the inconspicuous Natsuki Subaru has something special about him. Through previous exchanges, Curio discovered that Natsuki Subaru has excellent negotiation skills and overall analysis ability.
And when everyone was helpless against the power of Sloth's "invisible hand", among all the people present, only Subaru Natsuki could see it, which is enough to prove its specialness.
If Roswaal, Lugnica's strongest mage, is added to the mix, many people will be surprised to find that the power and talents Emilia holds now are not much weaker than those of other candidates, and even
Even stronger!
Of course, although Natsuki Subaru and Roswaal are also talented people, what Crusch values most is Wood. He wants to form an alliance with Emilia's camp because of Wood.
At the end of the King Selection Ceremony, the Sword Master Reinhardt is unavoidable, and Wilhelm once said that even he is far from the opponent of the wall-mounted Sword Master, so he wants to defeat Felt
With them, a strong ally is indispensable.
"His name is Wood Hessing, and he is my Anastasia's younger brother. Even if he wants to form an alliance, he will not choose anyone else!"
The younger brother is too good, and Anastasia is also quite troubled. Seeing that even Crusch has begun to have thoughts about Wood, Anastasia is like a hen protecting its chicks, protecting Wood behind her and said.
"Miss Anastasia, although you are indeed Mr. Wood's sister, if I remember correctly, Mr. Wood should be Emilia's knight now.
Moreover, the people I want to form an alliance with are also Emilia’s camp, not you, Anastasia, so I don’t need your consent.”
Curio actually didn't have a good impression of Anastasia. She had been following the standards of chivalry since she was a child, and she didn't like Anastasia's too philistine character.
In addition, the two of them are rivals for the throne, so it is normal for them not to deal with each other.
The White Whale, the monster of the fog, was kicked into a cripple by Wood, and his life was finally terminated by the sword demon Wilhelm, and this was the right he obtained after requesting from Wood.
Being able to avenge his beloved wife with his own hands, the old gentleman obviously has no regrets. Originally, the white whale was defeated by Wood, and his request to kill his enemy with his own hands was fulfilled. Wilhelm should have followed Wood out of kindness.
But because when Curio sent troops to attack the White Whale, the grateful old gentleman had already sworn allegiance to the Carlsten family, so now Wilhelm always feels a little guilty when facing Wood.
"Mr. Wilhelm, there is no need to be like this. I have already said before that I am not here specifically to conquer the white whale.
Since Sister Anna and the others are fine, this trip is not in vain, and if Mr. Wilhelm hadn't stopped the two separate bodies of the white whale on his own, it is estimated that Sister Anna and the others might not have been able to hold on until I got here.
Bar."
White Whale and Sloth have been killed, Anastasia and Curio have also begun to gather their troops and start to account for the losses in this battle.
In this White Whale crusade, a total of three candidates for the King's Choice were involved, and among them, Anastasia should have suffered the greatest loss.
The Hexin Chamber of Commerce's caravan was the first to encounter the beluga whale. Although they responded quickly and went to attack here, the caravan members who were the first to fall into the thick fog of the beluga whale all disappeared.
Even more than half of the goods have disappeared.
The white whale was already dead, its entire head had been cut off by the Sword Demon, the thick fog had long since dissipated, and everyone knew where the missing people were.
In addition to the caravan that was caught in the fog at the beginning, the "Iron Group" that came to attack later also suffered some casualties.
However, the same goes for Crusch and the others. Even the knights under her command suffered greater casualties than Anastasia's private mercenary group.
In this crusade against the Mist Monster, Natsuki Subaru and the others, who were passively involved, not only suffered the least losses, but also became the winners with the greatest gains.
Because Wood arrived here shortly after being sucked into the white mist, there were basically no problems with their goods.
In addition, this time, whether it is Sin Archbishop Sloth or Mist Monster White Whale, Wood is definitely the main player. Even if he has credit, he will definitely occupy the lion's share.
Whether it is the Demonic Beast of the Mist or the Sin Archbishop of the Witch Cult, they are all dangerous beings that endanger Lugnika. Once you gain the merit of killing them, it will undoubtedly bring a huge advantage to the fight for the throne.
It is also for this reason that Natsuki Subaru is currently acting as a negotiator and is having a heated argument with Anastasia and Crusch.
Anastasia believed that they provided the traces of the white whale for this crusade, and that Wood was her brother and came because of the letter left by Mimi, so the lion's share of the credit should belong to her.
Natsuki Subaru said that although Wood came for Anastasia, his current identity is Emilia's knight.
Therefore, his achievement in killing the Sin Archbishop and the White Whale of the Witch Cult should naturally be attributed to their Emilia lineup.
If it was something else, forget it, but Natsuki Subaru's attitude towards taking credit for this time was unexpectedly tough.
Compared with other candidates for the throne, Emilia's most disadvantageous aspect right now is her identity as a silver-haired half-elf.
Nowadays, many people in the capital still directly substitute Emilia's identity for the jealous witch Satella because of her image.
It is difficult to change the minds of people in the capital, but there are shortcuts, such as the current achievements.
As we all know, the Witch Cult is a jealous fan of witches, and the so-called "Sin Priest" is a key member of the Witch Cult.
If those people in the royal capital knew that people in Emilia's camp had killed the "Sin Archbishop" of the Witch Cult, would it be possible to change their impression of Emilia?
After all, if Emilia was really a jealous witch, she would not kill the organization under her command that supported her.
As for Subaru Natsuki and Anastasia both wanting to take credit for their actions, Crusch was naturally unwilling to agree.
In order to conquer the White Whale, the Karsten family also suffered heavy losses this time. Moreover, she had already made an agreement with Yurius and the others before sending out the troops. She wanted to take the majority of the credit for killing the monsters.
The three parties each insisted on their own opinions, and just when they were quarreling, Rem and Emilia hurried over in a dragon carriage and informed Wood and Natsuki Subaru of an important matter.
things.
That was the Roswaal territory. The village called Alam where Meili had stayed before was attacked by the Witch Cult.
