Chapter 58: Ruby
It has been a week since everyone set out to participate in the battle of annihilation and returned to victory.
During this week, the days in the regiment were as usual. Except for the fact that the group leader announced that the boy had been recognized by himself and the two captains in this operation, and was allowed to join the "West Wind", which everyone had expected, it was no different from usual.
However, on the first day of return, after the exhausted everyone was settled, the group leader returned to his room early instead of talking and laughing with the resident group members who came to greet him as usual. It's like something is on my mind.
Moreover, it doesn't seem like a big deal. In fact, it's a bit like... the child's reluctant expression when he is about to meet the child of the most annoying neighbor.
Of course everyone didn't know that it was not without reason that Lu Jia was so abnormal. In fact, he himself had already anticipated this situation.
There was a special existence who had sneaked into his often-staying studio quietly, but no one in the hunting regiment noticed it. In fact, he has never felt it himself, but a certain signal, which was obviously deliberately done recently, narrates this reality.
The moment he opened the door, he really saw the familiar figure in his mind.
"Unexpectedly, I could provoke you to come here in person." Lu Jia said solemnly, unable to hear the meaning of irony and alertness in the voice.
"Where, this time the matter is not as serious as it seems." The chestnut-haired woman in front of her motioned Lu Jia to close the door with her eyes, but Lu Jia didn't use her hands at all, just curled up with a grudge, and slammed the door with a bang. Severely, "You don't need to be so alert when you see me."
"Really? I thought that it must be something terrifying existence that can alarm you to appear here in person..."
"After you retreated, our people have checked the situation there." The woman didn't listen to his complaints and ridicule. "Those demons seem to come from a world that they have never heard of, but this is not important at all. There is no residue there. There is no danger of leaving behind any dangerous ancient relics that need to be recovered... Rather, you have cleaned up these **** shreds a few years ago, and the church should actually reward you.” In the last sentence, the woman in front of you is also Said in a mocking tone.
"That is to say, it is only to such an extent that you don't need your hole card to be dispatched personally?" Lu Jia understood the situation, "Then you came to me, must be a plot against that young man, right?"
"Don't say it so bad." She took out a beautifully packaged cigarette from her arms and lit it on herself. The woman spit out a cigarette ring in a relaxed tone, "I did receive the above instructions, saying that the Prophecy of the Canon of Saints pointed out that The particularity of boys..."
"He is now a "West Wind" person. "
"I didn't deny it. I didn't intend to take him away with the excuses unique to the church." The woman in front of her looked a little strange, "Did you hide something from the boy, or conspired something? Why did you Looks so nervous?"
"Indeed, we have some plans to implement, but it involves my current fundamentals...As long as your ethical principles are not harmed, you have no reason to force intervention, right?"
"Hehe, that's true." The woman took another cigarette. "Our duties are mainly to monitor those illegal "foreign laws" and to recover dangerous "ancient relics" scattered around the world..."
"And the every move of the group of "snakes", your old adversary who is watching, right? "
"...Yes, there are them." The woman paused, but did not change her tone. She just continued to say to herself: "Because of this, we are short of manpower. Naturally, we can't deal with all the abilities. "Pay attention to the "singularity", as long as you don't do anything out of the ordinary..."
"Then why are you still here?" That being the case, why did you, the highest combat power of the "church", appear here in person?
"I was going to explain this, but you didn't listen to me at all..." The dried cigarette went out automatically, and the remaining wreckage was directly turned into bits and pieces in the woman's hands. "The prophecy given by the Fengsheng Province is very special. ...In order to confirm certain information, I came here deliberately."
"What's special?"
"Sorry, this involves core secrets." The woman refused Lu Jia's follow-up. "In short, my work has been completed. This child can stay here and carry out your "plan" that you don't know exactly for. "
"Then why are you waiting for me here?" Lu Jia touched the back of his head.
"Of course I came to see an old friend." A slight smile appeared on the woman's face. This is probably the first time she showed a soft expression in this conversation. "Although I have never worked together, no matter what It's you or the "battle god", but they are all famous existences. "
"...If you don't tell me, I have forgotten. You have also been a "hunting soldier" before. "Lu Jia was startled, and then smiled bitterly, "It's just that I and the one in your mouth will have a battle sooner or later." "
"I may not have time to witness it. I wish you... I wish you... Prosperity in Wuyun."
After saying this, the woman stepped on loud steps and was about to leave the door.
"Oh, yes..." When she was about to leave the room, the woman turned her head again: "Your worries are unnecessary. The child will solve all the problems by himself."
This time, she really left.
"...He, I didn't expect to see this guy again under this situation..." Lu Jia shook his head, smiled bitterly to himself, and slumped on the sofa, "Now you are the "Seven Yao Church" "Belonging to, the chief knight of the "Star Cup Knights"... Ain... "Red Obsidian"..."
Gently rubbing his aching temples, he remembered the words Ain left him before he left.
"Solve it yourself, don't you?" Although it was a little unbelievable, I actually felt a little relieved because of this.

"Yes... it's all as you expected, Archbishop." Holding a strange communication device, in the secret room of her own battleship, Ain Sernat is reporting the investigation to the highest-ranking archbishop in the canonized province. There is only this level of existence that can personally order her who is already the chief of the "Star Cup".
"That kind of "divineness"... Are you sure that it is correct? "
"Yes." Ain replied lowly, "and the form is just as you pointed out, muddy and powerful, but it has a strong connection with some unknown existence. What shall we do next? Archbishop?"
"The prophecy didn't mention the follow-up content. Well, Ain, you draw at least one "Star Cup Knight" and closely monitor the boy's movements. I need to report to you at all times and the specific requirements. When you return to the Code Country, I will tell you personally. "
"Yes." Ain smiled slightly, "I think that kid Kevin will definitely be very suitable for this task."
"But, isn't Kevin you sent to monitor the third pillar of "Snake"? "
"Goo..." Ain choked, "It seems that the next action plan needs to be adjusted."
————————————
P.S: Ain was a hunting soldier. I mentioned it in the empty track in my impression, but it was only a brief introduction. I have expanded the role here to give the chief executive a chance to show his face. By the way, I will make a pavement for Kevin to play.
