Fresh air poured into the nose, making people feel much more comfortable. Staying in the sewer before made Yi Chen feel that his sense of smell would have become malfunctioned due to the long-term odor.

If you walk out of the sewer inside, you will directly lead to a large river that divides the Federation into two. This is a huge drainage pipe by the river. However, although sewage is directly discharged into the river, evolutionary nanorobots have been placed in the river, so this kind of pollution that was a crime in the past in ancient times is very common today.

"Here."

Yi Chen held a cigarette in his mouth and handed it to Lanther another one.

“…”

The knight hesitated for a moment and finally took it over.

No one brought a lighter, but he didn't need a lighter at all.

Arm part of your fingertips on your armour and then use enough strength to snap your fingers, and the sparks that pop up can ignite the cigarette.

"cough……"

The inferior cigarettes were very choking, and Lanther had almost never smoked. However, because it was handed over by Yi Chen, he did not refuse. He looked very embarrassed when he didn't know how to smoke.

“…Is there nothing to say?”

He shook the cigarette ashes on his hands.

But Yi Chen laughed: "Do we need to say anything more?"

“…!”

Having come to help, that's enough.

"I know what you are thinking, and you know what I am thinking. And you come to help me. Do I have to have other dissatisfaction?"

Yi Chen took a deep breath, and the flames suddenly burned inward, and a large piece of gray ash fell on the ground. The grayish-white smoke surged out from Yi Chen's mouth and nose. The smoking style he smoked was even more mature than that of many middle-aged people. This was all practiced in the desert area.

"...I don't have many friends. After coming to the Federation, you are the best one. Now I'll treat it as... Well, after I go to save Baichuan, will we still have the chance to smoke together like this in the future? Do I still have the chance to see you choked by the cigarette?"

...It means that maybe it will die.

A heavy topic, but Yi Chen laughed and said it.

"If Lanse and Nian are defeated, they will definitely be able to escape, right? As for me... they are slightly inferior to you two, but if you try hard, it is still very likely to rescue Baichuan - so, Baichuan will definitely have to let you take care of her in the future."

“——Stop kidding!”

Lanther yelled, and the fluctuations in his emotions made him throw away the cigarette butts in his hand.

But then I suddenly choked - I didn't expect to continue saying anything.

Indeed, with his own strength and Nian, he could be safely separated even if he was defeated in the face of Alez. But it is hard to say what Yi Chen said, and he also wanted to rescue Baichuan - Yi Chen had to save Baichuan, and he would never give this right to anyone. The person who rescued Baichuan must be Yi Chen. This is his conceit for himself, and his responsibility for himself and Baichuan.

Lanther understood this, and he knew that he was no longer qualified to touch Baichuan. Nian, she was a too calm guy. Even if she had already had feelings, if Yi Chen insisted on doing this, Nian would still respect his decision and instructed him: You will bear the consequences.

...What should I say... Damn, hurry up and think about something!

"Take back that word and take back everything I have done so far."

Crunch.

Rolling in the wheelchair, the old soldier made his suggestion.

“…!!”

Yi Chen and Lanther raised their heads at the same time and looked at the people who were slowly driving over the suburban trail in an automatic wheelchair.

"Go back to the consortium and make a long-term plan, so that I can still treat all the actions of you two fools so far as a joke."

mr.d said so while sitting in a wheelchair.

Lanther, he felt his heart jumping suddenly, and the blood circulation was five times higher than usual.

"No!" He immediately turned his head and looked at Yi Chen: "I didn't leak--"

“—I understand.”

Interrupted Lanther's words.

The calm Yi Chen stared at D's face: "Since he can give you the coordinates tracked by the chip on the back of my neck, he thought it was impossible for him to have another coordinate position without a message."

“That’s exactly that.”

d crossed his hands and lit his head.

"Well... it's such a good relationship. I made a good friend. Did Lanther... finally learn to be emotional? It's the first time I betrayed my order. It seems that you have accumulated a lot of pressure. Violating the monarch's orders is not consistent with the knight's way?"

“…It’s true.”

Taking a deep breath, Lanther had calmed down, and he replied:

"However, betrayal of a friend is also inconsistent with the Knight Road."

No matter which one is, it will go against your true intentions.

"So I betrayed both sides together, and then used the method of leaking Yi Chen's whereabouts to make up for your betrayal, and then used myself to make up for your betrayal on Yi Chen's side."

"Hey, hey, hey... there was a stupid decision, but it was also very styled."

At this time, Yi Chen pointed at d and said:

"But a disabled person sitting in a wheelchair is here to stop us two armor masters. Oh, no. There are two powerful women hidden in the sewer. Even if they were the second generation of steel griffins, what you are now-"

“——I look like this now!!”

d interrupted Yi Chen's words and repeated his last words.

Then he burst into laughter.

The inexplicable laughter made Yi Chen and Lanther tremble.

...Does the person who has lost his legs have any combat power? Lanther thought so in his heart.

"You two don't know enough about me."

As he said this, he opened the hole in the suit in front of his chest.

"that……!!"

“…that tattoo…!”

There is no doubt that there is nothing else to create such a glittering tattoo except the armor of the Third Age.

It was a big spider with a dark green light.

It seems that the ribs and blood vessels are used as nests of spider silk and live there.

"I'll introduce you to the strength of the Iron Griffon Senior. You two young boys who don't know anything. Even without my feet, I have gained new walking ability, my armor - [Arakney]!!"
