Subaru Natsuki, who returned from the new Three Kingdoms

After all, there's only one credit for curing Myrotov's madness, so whoever gets it first gets it!

To his surprise, even the usually dull and simple-minded Reinhard had realized it.

Moreover, he also realized that instead of racing against time to find the Great Sage ahead of time, it would be better to deal with Subaru Natsuki first, and then slowly search for him.

"Well done, Reinhard! Such a hero! Truly, one should look at a person with new eyes after three days of separation!" Natsuki Subaru laughed heartily.

"But you think you can stop our family?"

Subaru Natsuki bent down slightly and helped Capela onto his back.

"dream!"

The starry night suddenly unfolds.

Everything in the tavern slowed down.

The candle flame, tilted by the wind, lingered on the wick. The innkeeper's astonished eyelids remained closed for a long time, and the wine in Julius's hand stopped at the rim of the glass, even the swirling motion seemed incredibly slow.

Subaru walked through them, casually tossing a few coins on the counter and taking several jars of wine from the shelf behind the owner.

Of everyone present, only Reinhard could barely keep up with that figure.

His pupils followed the figure toward the counter, and as he turned his head, his sword swiftly slashed toward Subaru Natsuki's back.

Fearing that it might harm Subaru's body, Reinhard dared not use his fastest speed.

That would cause him to lose control of his strength.

Subaru will also be cut in two after Capella is cut off.

Unfortunately, it was precisely because he used less strength that the blade still couldn't keep up with Subaru.

Natsuki Subaru had no intention of engaging in a prolonged fight with him.

Clutching the wine jar, he narrowly avoided the sword blade before turning and walking away.

The frozen candle flame began to flicker again.

A few copper coins spun on the counter, clattering and tinkling. Several shelves behind the owner were empty, and there was no one in sight at the door.

"not good!"

Reinhard rushed to the door, pushed it open, and was met only by swirling sandstorms.

"He has already returned to the Tower of the Sages."

Russell Ferro remained seated.

His hand pressed against the edge of the table, his five fingers turning white from the force, his mind filled with only the scene before that figure disappeared.

What was that just now?

"Is that the kid's speed?"

Russell suddenly realized

"How could it be so fast!"

"So, back in the palace... he could have easily cut off everyone's heads before the court officials could even react, and then calmly walked out of the palace?"

No wonder Lord Myrotov compromised with him back then.

No wonder Capela values ​​him so much.

Russell Ferro secretly activated his blessing when he first met this young man.

That feedback clearly told him that this man was exceptionally important to Capela.

He was still a little confused at the time.

Your swordsmanship is impressive, but your audacity is outrageous!

At most, add one more picture of a youthful appearance that might attract a perverted woman.

At the time, he wondered if the Bishop of Lust, who had been secretly wreaking havoc on the kingdom for decades, was actually a guy with unusual fetishes.

Now, he finally saw the answer.

speed!

What Capela valued was actually this ridiculously fast speed.

So fast that even Reinhard could barely keep up. This dangerous fighting force had become a weapon in Capella's hands!

Russell Ferro instinctively looked towards the doorway. Everyone in the room froze in place, except for Reinhard, whose gaze followed Natsuki Subaru.

In this team right now, only the Sword Saint probably still has a chance to defeat him.

"Mr. Russell, immediately inform everyone to depart at once!"

Reinhardt's voice came from the doorway.

"We must get to the Sage's Tower immediately; we can't rest any longer! Subaru is most likely already under Capella's mind control. If they find the Great Sage, something terrible will definitely happen!"

"Whether it's saving Lord Myrotov or Subaru, we must find a way to enter the Sage's Tower as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing this, Julius frowned—why is there another entry for Subaru Natsuki?

Dual identity + suspected schizophrenia + mind control...

Just thinking about Julius makes my head spin with all these terms combined.

No wonder both Subaru Natsuki and Flügel often act crazy...

Is this the result of stacking different terms?

Russell also paused upon hearing this—had he been mentally controlled by Capela?

Russell, who had just felt despair about the future of the kingdom after seeing Natsuki Subaru's speed, suddenly widened his eyes!

He had previously regarded Subaru Natsuki and Capella as collaborators who used each other or as superiors and subordinates.

This will only worsen the future of the Kingdom of Lugnica.

That's why he was so eager for Lord Merotov to order Subaru Natsuki's execution.

However, if Subaru Natsuki's obedience to Capela was merely due to brainwashing, things took a turn for the better.

If Capella can control Subaru Natsuki, why can't Six Tongues?

Such speed would be far more useful to the kingdom than the Gluttony Bishop of yesteryear!

If the Sword Saint is the sharpest sword in the kingdom's open repertoire.

With that speed, Natsuki Subaru could easily become the sharpest dagger in the kingdom's shadows!

A glint of almost greedy light appeared in Russell Fiorot's eyes. He abruptly stood up and shouted at the six members of the Tongue behind him:

"Didn't you hear me? Pack your things and leave immediately!"

The brief rest period has come to an end.

The tavern doors opened again. The group braved the blowing sand and dust into the night.

A moment later...

They looked at the place where they had once parked the earth dragon and the carriage, and all that remained was a pile of reins. The earth dragon was nowhere to be found, and the carriage had been chopped into pieces.

They all fell silent.

They know who did it without even having to say it!

Reinhard clenched his fist!

That despicable Capella actually ordered Subaru to do this!

"Move forward on foot!"

Russell gave the order, and the group followed closely behind, rushing towards the direction of the Sage's Tower as the sandstorm seemed to engulf the sky.

......

Inside the Tower of Sages.

Subaru carried several earth dragons, each carrying a wine jar on its back, and slowly made his way back to the vicinity of the room.

He hadn't originally planned to take these earth dragons with him.

Bringing them into the scope of the Starry Night March was simply a way to let them go.

This would cause trouble for Reinhard and his group, and slow them down.

After all, Reinhard had already started thinking of ways to deal with the person who raised the question.

Could Subaru Natsuki, the Grand General of Chariots and Cavalry and Lord of Rem, not have imagined this?

Unexpectedly, after these dragons synchronized their speed with Subaru Natsuki, the leading black earth dragon, which looked the most robust, made an intimate gesture towards him.

It ran up to him and rubbed against his palm, as if it could understand Subaru Natsuki's words. It took the initiative to help Subaru Natsuki carry the sake barrel, while leading the other earth dragons, and followed Subaru Natsuki all the way back to the Sage's Tower.

Leaving the other earth dragons on the first floor, Subaru Natsuki took the smartest earth dragon, the one carrying the wine, back to the residential area on the second floor.

I just came up here.

A figure wearing a tattered cloak rushed from the end of the corridor, tears still glistening in the corners of his eyes.

"Master~! Where did you go? QAQ!"

Rewinding to the moment before, Xia Wula calculated that Natsuki Subaru should have rested enough.

I ran over excitedly, wanting to get closer to my master while he was resting.

To everyone's surprise, when they opened the door, the bed was empty.

She suddenly realized that the aura she had been waiting for for four hundred years seemed to have vanished from the entire tower.

She paced back and forth in each corridor, her breathing becoming rapid, her fingers gripping the edge of her cloak tightly. Several times she turned so quickly that she even stumbled and bumped into the wall, but she didn't even bother to stop and rub her wound.

Only when the familiar scent reappeared a moment later did the color return to his pale face.

"Master!"

Xia Wula rushed in front of him, nearly knocking him and the card over, and asked urgently:

"Where did you go? I couldn't smell you anywhere. I thought my master had left me again!"

"Buy alcohol."

Subaru pointed to the earth dragon behind him.

"Buying alcohol?"

Xia Wula stared at the wine jars, and then showed a surprised expression when he saw the earth dragon carrying the wine jars on its back.

"Earth dragon? When did you...?"

The tone was as if he were seeing an old acquaintance.

The earth dragon did the same, opening its mouth towards Xia Wula as if to greet her.

"I found this earthworm when I went out to buy wine. It was attracted by our family's aura and willingly followed us back!"

Natsuki Subaru patted his chest triumphantly: "I thought the Earth Dragon was lowly, but I never expected it to be so discerning, ten times better than that Anastasia hero! Hahahaha!"

"Master is amazing!" Xia Wula clapped along, perfectly embodying the role of a straight man.

Then, with a question in mind:

"But Master~ why didn't the rules on me react at all when you went out to buy wine?"

“I should have sensed someone leaving the Tower of Sages immediately and turned into a killing machine!” Shaula said, swaying back and forth in an exaggerated fighting stance.

Faced with a question he didn't know how to answer, Subaru Natsuki immediately responded with his classic three-part combo!

Before returning to the cabinet~

"I also have something to say~"

"Just as you said~"

Why didn't you turn into a killing machine?

Xia Wula was momentarily confused by the repetitive talk, but a smile quickly returned to her face.

"Could it be that Master has already found a loophole in the rules?!"

"As expected, finding loopholes is no challenge for Master!"
