Aarons's premonition was not wrong.

As soon as he left Moti City with Mo Qianyun, a group of mercenaries followed them.

These people were not strong, not even at the level of level 4 - but this also meant that Aarons had become a hot target in the underground world.

"Sorry, I'm in a hurry... Qianyun, kill them as soon as possible!"

These people were certainly not Mo Qianyun's opponents - when the beautiful female guard pulled out the long knife with her left hand, their fate had already come to an end.

Although Mo Qianyun would not kill innocent people indiscriminately, these mercenaries were not good people from the beginning.

"As you command - Eight Phases, Absolute Sword!"

Because the absolute gap in strength was too huge, these weak mercenaries did not even have time to say their last words before they were completely wiped out from the world by the magic sword mixed with eight attributes.

This was not a battle at all... Although Aarons did have some feelings, he was in no mood to think about these things now.

"The car is here, hurry up."

"I... I must bring the aircraft next time."

After jumping on the truck, Aarons immediately told the driver to return to the Conil base at full speed.

Although there was still a lot of time, he felt that he had to race against time - two months was not a short time, but if something unexpected happened, he would have no room for maneuver.

So, he was actually in a state of anxiety now.

...

"Is Xia Ye here? No? Is she going to..."

"Marquis, calm down first. Miss Spider suddenly flew back to report the situation over there to Miss Sheep, and then the two of them went to Her Royal Highness the Princess together."

After returning to his office, Aarons only saw Jiang Yue, who temporarily replaced Xia Ye.

After hearing that there was also an emergency on Keliya's side, Aarons forced himself to calm down.

"Huh... Teacher Jiangyue, the Cadians will attack the Empire in two months. They are already preparing for war... We must also make some preparations as soon as possible."

"Is that so... But Marquis, are you going to take all the responsibility alone again?"

Having never expected Jiangyue to ask such a question, Aarons could only swallow the next words.

-- Are you going to take the responsibility again?

"Although you should be worried about this, this is a war between countries, and it is not something you can reverse alone."

"But if Cadia really invades, the Duke of Booker's family may also plot against us from behind..."

"Her Royal Highness will solve this matter - don't you trust her ability?"

Aarons, who had calmed down a lot, realized at this time that he seemed to be making mistakes again.

In order to help him eliminate the hidden dangers, Claire had obviously run to the enemy's base camp, but he still didn't have enough confidence in her, and still wanted to solve all the problems by himself.

But he thought so, not because he was overconfident in his ability.

"You should learn to rely on us appropriately, right? We will help you solve problems and eliminate threats for you... Don't you think that's not enough?"

"... Then what's the use of me?"

"You have done a lot for us, take a break once in a while."

After noticing Aarons' anxiety, the beautiful sage stepped forward and hugged him gently.

"The transformation of the Yumenhua can be completed within a month, and Qianyun can handle most of the work. You should take a few days off first, relax yourself, and then make plans."

Although Aarons' tense spirit is not so easy to relax, Jiangyue's words do make sense.

Excessive anxiety will affect one's thinking ability and may also weaken one's judgment.

"Okay, I'll go take a rest first... I'll come to discuss this with you later."

"Okay, then I'll let Qianyun make you something to eat first."

...

Aarons' spirit is indeed a little too tense.

After hearing that Cadia is about to invade the empire, the first thing he thinks about is how his existing strength can fight against the opponent's army.

But Jiang Yue reminded him in time that the war between countries was not something he could handle alone. Even if the old marquis was still alive, this war could only be dealt with by the power of the empire.

"...So, what should I do?"

Of course, he understood the truth, but Aarons still had some knots in his heart.

- If he did nothing, what was the value of his existence?

Of course, he could be a hands-off shopkeeper and push all the problems to others.Let Keliya or Xia Ye deal with it. But if they do that, it doesn't matter whether I am there or not.

——Even if I am not there, they can solve all the problems.

"What else can I do?"

Aarons knew he was afraid.

He knew he had no ability and could not help with most things.

If he could not show his value, would others abandon him in the end?

"It's foggy..."

Unconsciously, Aarons had left his room and walked out of the building alone.

Although it was just night, there was a faint fog outside for some reason.

I seemed to have experienced this feeling somewhere, as if...

"Brother, good evening."

"What-you are..."

Before Aarons realized what was happening, the fog around him immediately became thicker.

Then, a girl who seemed familiar but obviously a little abnormal emerged from the fog.

"I am, your, sister."

"Sister? No, I don't--"

Of course, Aarons was aware of the abnormal situation at the moment, but before he could react, a strong mental force directly invaded his brain.

...Sister? It seems that he does have a sister.

"...Why are you here? It's dangerous here now, go back quickly."

Go back? No, where else can she go back to?

"Brother, are you troubled?"

Looking at the strange girl with inhuman pointed ears and vertical pupils, and black long hair reflecting red and blue light, Aarons suddenly had a strange sense of disobedience in his heart.

...Is she really his sister?

"The war is about to start, I must think of some way...I must protect everyone."

"Protect, everyone?"

The girl tilted her head slightly, as if she didn't understand Aarons' words, and showed a confused expression.

"Then, who will protect me, brother?"

Although Aarons was in a state of confusion at the moment, his expression suddenly became firm when he heard such a question——

"No need, I am... someone who can be replaced."
