"Vantrich...I seem to have heard of this name."

After listening to Yue Yulou talking about the [Circus] team, Artoria put her head on her back for a while, and it didn't take long to find information about this name in her memory...

"By the way... it seems that when [Fire and Sword] interfered with our guild to suppress the rebellion, he seemed to be among the people sent, but he didn't seem to have taken any action at that time... I didn't expect that his strength was so amazing. How did your friend find out about this news?"

"Haha... he just has a wider relationship. Although Vantrich has some strength, if I want to fight alone... he should not be your opponent."

"Are you flattering me? Haha... I didn't expect that the famous 'Day Demon' would use sweet words to please girls like those prodigal sons."

Hearing the words behind Yue Yulou, Artoria couldn't help but chuckled in a low voice, and it seemed that because of the bonfire, her face was much rosier than usual. At the same time, although her words were sarcastic, her tone did not have any malice, but instead she felt a little joy...

"This is not flattery. Your Sword of Victory Sage can almost be said to be the fastest sword in the entire Asan world. Although you cannot fully exert its full strength now, it is not difficult to defeat Vantrich based on your current strength alone."

Artoria, sitting on the stone, was not wearing the cold armor at this time, and her pretty face reflected by the bonfire, coupled with the blue dress that was not gorgeous but fit, made her exuding a unique charm of a girl. Even Yue Yulou, who thought she was calm, felt that her heart was beating faster than usual, so after saying this, he quickly turned his gaze to the bonfire...

"Thank you for your compliment. It's getting late, so I'll go back and rest first... We will probably reach Dunmur at noon tomorrow."

After discovering that Yue Yulou's vision seemed to be avoiding her, Artoria immediately pursed her lips gently, her expression became a little dark. Not long after, she quickly stood up and after throwing these words, she walked straight to her tent. At this time, Yue Yulou was still silently looking at the bonfire in front of her, as if she was thinking about something, and as if she was recalling something...

………………………………………

The next day, at noon, the unicorn empire

"Hey...Safe, what happened to you with that beautiful president last night? Why didn't she say a word to you today? Did you transform last night because of the full moon?"

Kakashi looked at Yue Yulou who had been silent all the time, and then looked at the cold president in front of him. He felt that something very "excellent" must have happened to the two of them... After hearing Kakashi's uncontrollable words, Yue Yulou immediately turned his head and said coldly:

"Do you want to walk naked..."

"Hey... I'm just talking, it doesn't have to be that serious."

At this time, Yue Yulou wore the magic mask made by Zagu again on his face. Although he couldn't see his expression, Kakashi knew that Yue Yulou was in a bad mood just by listening to the sound, so he immediately waved his hand and shrugged helplessly at Krasud beside him, as if saying that he had no choice...

"Sister, did that beast do something disgusting to you last night? Do I want me to teach him a lesson?"

Just when Kakashi and the others were confused by the relationship between Yue Yulou and Artoria, Mina kept asking her cousin, but she obviously attributed all the mistakes to Yue Yulou. In her eyes, only that man would make Artoria, who has always been known for her perseverance and decisiveness, become indecisive and sentimental...

"Mina, don't talk nonsense anymore. If you are still like this, I will never take you to act together again."

As a result, Artoria directly blocked all the language behind Mina with this sentence. The entire team continued to move towards a huge city ahead in such a strange atmosphere, the capital of the Unicorn Empire, Dunmur.

………………………………………

"Dumur is here."

As Artoriana's crisp sound rang out, the people who had walked for three days finally arrived at this metropolis. As the capital of an empire, Dumur naturally had a very powerful defense. The city wall alone was more than 40 meters high and more than 6 meters thick, almost equivalent to the defense ability of a fortress. In addition, the magic circuits on the city wall pointed at the distant place to fill the cannons. The whole city can be said to be as solid as a god. Of course... it was when the guards did not seem so lazy.

"It seems that the degree of rottenness of this country is far to my imagination..."

As soon as he entered the city, the most common ones on the bustling streets were not shops, but countless beggars and refugees on both sides of the road. They were all displaced by war. Yue Yulou had not been to many cities, but at least he had never seen so many refugees in the capital of the Griffin Principality... Moreover, the most disheartening thing is that the fat tax collectors and the pastors selling indulgences were constantly searching for the last trace of wealth from the refugees.

"I have been persuading the top leaders of the empire to treat the people well, but..."

Although this is not the first time she has seen this scene, Artoria still can't help but feel sad. She has always aimed at protecting the principality and empire and is more distressed than anyone else about the suffering of the people. However, as a knight, she cannot do too many extraordinary things, so there is nothing important, and she will not come to this city.

"Persuad... for those 'meat eaters' who are high and high, the people are just something that can be dedicated and enjoyed... 'items'. Only when they need them will they say the word 'people'..."

Listening to Yue Yulou's almost cruel words, Artoria was speechless and could only bit her lower lip hard, as if she was in great pain inside. At this time, Yue Yulou also found that his words were a bit inappropriate. He immediately walked to the side of the female knight, but just as he was about to comfort the other party, a sarcastic voice suddenly sounded...

"Well? Isn't this our President Artoria? Why didn't you resist the enemy on the front line, but ran here to relax."

As the sound rang out, a man wearing a silver priest's robe and red hair, about twenty-seven or eight years old, slowly appeared in everyone's sight with several knights. When Artoria saw the priest, her eyes were immediately full of hatred...

"Julian, what are you doing here!"

The man named Julian didn't seem to care about Artoria's rebuke. He smiled slightly, raised his hands behind his back and said lightly:

"Artolia, I am no longer a member of the rising and rising sun. It is best not to sway your young lady at me..."

"Who is this Julian?"

Although I don’t like Yue Yulou very much, Mina still told him about the man…

"Julian was originally a minister of our guild. After President Arthur's death, he had always opposed his elder sister's successor as president... He was the main black hand that started the rebellion in the end. However, how could he be his elder sister's opponent? He was soon beaten to pieces. However, after his failure, he had some knowledge of the church and transferred from a wizard to a pastor... After the outbreak of the war, he actually became a guild with the support of the church, and the name was called the Silver Crusader. This guild received great support from the church, and Julian also took advantage of the failure of some guild members to constantly dig out the corners of the guild. Now the power of the Silver Crusader in the empire is second only to our guild."

"It's the church again... Although [retirement] was the decision of all the dragon gods, the stall left by Ellath is really a bit too bad..."

After hearing the name of the church again, Yue Yulou looked at Julian's eyes getting colder and colder, but before he could attack, Julian took the initiative to come to him...

"Hmm? This person is..."

Looking at the man in the angel robe and a strange mask in front of him, Julian suddenly felt very uneasy, but soon he realized that this person should be a man, so he laughed a few times, and then mocked Artoria:

"Haha, what? President Artoria, who has always claimed to be no worse than any man, finally has to rely on men? This gentleman does seem to be very powerful..."

"A dog that is strayed... dares to be so presumptuous."

Suddenly, Julian, who was still smiling, felt a burning heat that seemed to burn his soul surrounded him. Then he saw that he was lifted up in the air by the man in an angel battle robe, and his guards were strung into sugar men in an instant by sharp thorns that rushed out from the ground...

"You... actually killed the people in the church! Do you want to be wanted by the church?"

Looking at Julian who was looking fiercely and introverted, Yue Yulou suddenly narrowed his eyes, and at the same time, ashes began to slowly flow from his hands to Julian's body. As a result, the president of the Silver Crusader Guild immediately began to scream loudly like a fat pig being slaughtered...

"Safi, forget it... don't anger the church because of such a guy."

Seeing Yue Yulou getting angry for himself, Artoria couldn't help but feel warm, but she still didn't want Yue Yulou to be wanted by the church because of her, so she kept gently pulling the corner of Yue Yulou's clothes with her hands, as if she wanted him to let go of Julian in her hand, but Yue Yulou did not intend to let this person go. He pulled Julian in front of him, stared at him with cold eyes, and said word by word:

"Don't scare me with the name of the church. I really anger me. Even the Pope, I will kill you. Go back and tell the current Pope. This year is the year of shadow, and Ellath is in hibernation and will not bring him any protection... and even if Ellath wakes up, he will not give him any protection."

After saying that, he suddenly threw Julian in his hand into the sky, and then an inexplicable flame instantly wrapped the man up. After a scream, everything returned to peace again. At the same time, a large group of guards began to quickly come to this place, but their faces did not have the kind of righteousness that law enforcement officers should have, but were full of fear...
