Zongman: Beginning with the Killer Queen

The power of the rat charm works really well.

Looking at Ishtar slowly sinking into the shadows, Roland showed a happy smile on his face.

Conscience of heaven and earth, he was quite fair this time. Since Ishtar helped him, he would naturally pay the reward in person.

When the other party is still alive, Roland will not use any forceful means, but when Ishtar turns back into a statue, those gems are ownerless. After all, she is really just a statue. Not even a clone.

Roland picked up some gems while recycling the statue, which is very reasonable.

However, although he is essentially a scornful person, Roland has no intention of actually selling these ten gems. After all, this statue was sold to him by the money-minded Ishtar, and it originally belonged to him.

Let’s put gems on this statue after that, but if things accumulate over time, what kind of expression will the real Ishtar show next when she sees her statue is more gorgeous and richer than herself?

To be honest, Roland was looking forward to it.

Seeing the oppressive goddess turned into a statue and put away, and the invisible restraint locked on her body after signing her name, Kuonji Yuju also breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if Ishtar disappears, it won't change the reality that has become a foregone conclusion, but it still proves Roland's attitude.

At this time, although Miss Witch was still wary of Roland, under the constraints of the contract, she did not think that Roland would do anything humiliating to her.

It cannot be said that Ariju Kuonji is naive when she has such an idea. The effect of the contract created by Medea is very terrifying. What's more, if the other party really wants to do something, she can't do it directly, and she has to go through a lot of trouble. What is the purpose of signing a contract?

Whether from the perspective of a normal person or a magician, this kind of thinking cannot be wrong.

However, Kuonji Yuju never expected that for Roland, who could not be equated with a human being in the conventional sense in any aspect, in many cases, he would rather enjoy getting this than a fixed result. The process of results, so as to obtain... what he wanted to see, the joy of struggle.

But before Kuonji Yuju discovered this, she had to face a more realistic problem.

"Miss Aozaki Aoko, it seems that you are not satisfied with the result."

"Of course! Who would be satisfied with this result!"

Qingzi clenched his fists, the angry flames in his eyes not diminishing at all.

"You are the one who signed the contract with you, not me. Besides, I can't find a reason to give in. Anyway, you are on Chengzi's side, and we will have to face each other sooner or later. Why don't we fight here first?" !”

Now Aozaki Aoko is more determined than ever. If in the previous magic training, she still had the chance to show off with that bastard sister through her half-assed level, coupled with a little wisdom and courage. idea,

But after seeing that one blow that wiped out the power of the Bridge Giant, this thought was already a thing of the past.

Youzhu, who has always been her reliable backing, cannot protect herself. Instead of expecting this bastard brother-in-law to let her go, it is more convenient to directly use the trump card to solve the dilemma. As long as the opponent is defeated, Youzhu's predicament can be figured out later.

"If you can do it, why not try it?"

As if he heard a joke, Roland sneered.

"But the awareness you have is nothing more than a glass cannon. You know you can get out of your current predicament by shelling it, but you are afraid of blowing yourself up before the cannonball is fired."

"So, Aoko, if you are really determined, you might as well give it a try. If you can show a new attitude, I don't mind staying with the magic that has been handed down from the Aozaki family to the end."

Roland looked down at Aozaki Aoko with a calm attitude, and made a silent mockery with the same flawless attitude as when they met in the park before.

In this familiar situation, Aozaki Aoko undoubtedly thought of the defeat that day, and her mind began to waver involuntarily.

Lies won't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife.

Roland's lethal words perfectly displayed the dilemma in Qingzi's heart.

After all, magic is not a prop that disappears after use, or that requires a price or interval between each use.

It is the miracle that resides in Aozaki Aoko, and it is a path.

Qingzi's current situation is just like Roland's before she contracted the Holy Lord's Soul. Once she uses magic, it means she has to give up her past human body, bid farewell to the past of more than ten years, and embark on the journey with a self that she doesn't know will disappear. into unknown territory.

Roland, who had a somewhat alienated spirit at the time, would hesitate in front of this door, let alone Qingzi now?

Her current consciousness is more like a fermenting impulse, like a crime of passion, where she is completely reckless of the consequences emotionally, rather than truly possessing a will that will not regret.

And this simple impulse, the more consequences it involves, the faster it will disintegrate.

Once the change of identity is involved, Qingzi can no longer judge by good and evil. Roland tested her attitude before when he deliberately exposed himself by pretending to be a witness.

For an enemy like Chengzi whose identities were already clear and equal, Aoko could fight to the death without any worries. However, when faced with Roland, who was jumping between the identities of his enemies and friends, he cleverly stopped Aoko on the verge of breaking out. .

Of course, in order not to lose his temper, Roland had to make other preparations.

When Aozaki Aoko's face was changing and she was trying to convince herself, a charming voice came from the shadows on the slope next to the river.

"This seems to be different from what we agreed, Lord Roland."

In the battlefield wrapped by the barrier, a new voice suddenly sounded.

The moment she heard that voice, Qingzi immediately looked away and looked away. She had long been mentally prepared for this scene, and her heart was still speeding up uncontrollably.

"I'm just happy to see Hunter. The witch in the fairy tale has been taken care of, but you still don't want to show up. I thought you would continue to hide as planned."

Roland said with a mocking smile.

"It's really spicy. You obviously haven't gotten tired of getting along with my old love, but I didn't expect these two children to make you feel soft so quickly. However, this also shows that my vision is right, Qingzi. Let’s talk, Youzhu will definitely satisfy you.”

Saying that, Aozaki Orange slowly appeared through the snow.

She wore a moss-green coat and a silk scarf around her neck. Her tall figure, short hair, and upright posture made her look heroic, but at the moment Chengzi looked at Aoko, there was a darkness deeper than the night.

Although she arrived later than Roland, she did not return to Misaki City at the scheduled time like last time. Instead, she came right after her, but Cheng Zi did not show up but hid. In Misaki City, Roland was allowed to act to obtain information, especially after Kuonji Yuju reached a contract with Roland.

She originally planned to wait until the dust settled tonight before luring Aoko out, but after Roland deliberately showed his attitude of fighting on her behalf, the puppet master had no choice but to come out to stop it all and prevent the most precious thing in her plan. The fruit was snatched away.

While observing Roland's face, Chengzi showed a somewhat guilty smile.

It wasn't until she realized that what Roland had just said was more like a complaint against her than a real intention to betray her that she became calmer and turned to look at her friend whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

"Long time no see, Youzhu."

"The oranges look good, too."

The two of them greeted each other while maintaining an unfamiliar distance.

"Although I am very interested in your current situation and want to explain this incident, you probably don't want to hear it."

"Of course, without contact with you, everything I own has been sold to you. If I talk to you for three to five minutes, I'm afraid you will sell all my internal organs."

Even Kuonji Yuju, who didn't like to express her emotions with words, couldn't help but express deep resentment for everything her best friend did.

"That's a shame,"

Aozaki Orange didn't care about what the witch said. When she sold the other party's information, she had anticipated today's situation.

For the puppeteer who even sold herself, such words are not painful at all. What's more, she has never regretted those decisions, because it is worth it to be able to return to the scene in front of her. But that's it.

"It's too reckless. It's obvious that Roland won't take action if you don't provoke him, but you actually force yourself so hard. What should I do to you if you ask my sister, Qingzi?"

Orange said with a smile, his tone full of concern.

Qingzi wanted to at least retort to her, but she held back for the time being.

Since it was already very quiet here, and everyone's five senses had been enhanced by magic, both sides could hear each other's conversations.

After noticing Aoko's dress, Aozaki Orange's pupils couldn't help but flash with a fierce light.

Knowing that there would be a battle tonight, Aoko's outfit was totally inconsistent with the situation. She still wore a Misaki High School uniform.

This is because Yuzhu took the wrong clothes for Aoko to change into. I don't know why she brought student uniforms instead of casual clothes, but these little things have special meaning in Chengzi's eyes.

"I have a question before the battle begins. I care about this very much, but maybe I won't have the chance to ask it in a while. Is that your battle uniform, Aoko?"

Chengzi's voice came clearly and unaffected by distance, and her unhappiness could be clearly felt from her voice, as if she had been insulted or even despised.

Aoko frowned, looking at Aozaki Orange who was standing on the slope with one hand supporting her slender waist and looking down at her with the same arrogant eyes as before, and clicked her tongue in displeasure.

"Do I have to dress up to deal with you? I am the heir of the Aozaki family. No matter what kind of enemies I face, I will face them with the most authentic attitude. That's all."

For a moment, Orange's pupils emitted a sharp light that even Aoko was afraid of.

Then the two began to look at each other wordlessly.

In the cold air, sparks burst out from the two sisters' unique killing intent.

"Fight, fight..."

But in such a solemn atmosphere, Roland's excited and expectant words made such a serious scene uncontrollably fall into an embarrassing range.

Although he whispered very quietly, in front of everyone's enhanced hearing, it was naturally not a secret.

But when everyone's eyes came to him, he pretended to be innocent and spread his hands.

"Relax, I don't plan to join the war, but there's no reason why I won't be allowed to watch the show."

"snort……"

Although she was regarded as an actor on the stage, Chengzi knew that Roland was obviously not someone who could be angered. She took a deep breath and called out to Qingzi.

"Qingzi, if you really have the guts to end everything tonight, just come with me."

Although she knew that this could not stop Roland from watching, Aosaki Chengzi didn't want to have someone pointing fingers at the sweet moment she had been planning for so long. The most annoying thing was that she couldn't resist him at all.

If this is the case, then her pleasure in revenge may not even be compromised.

Looking at Cheng Zi who was walking away indifferently, Aozaki Aoko subconsciously looked at Yuzu next to her.

But at this time, the witch did not give her the same affirmation as before.

"Qingzi, this matter can only be decided by yourself."

Kuonji Yuju wanted to show her indifference to the grudge between the two of them by not saying a word as usual.

But finally, she spoke.

"But if you die, I will hold a funeral for you."

"Don't predict my outcome before the fight begins!"

Aozaki Aoko pretended to be furious, but under the gaze of the witch, she finally shook her hair, showed a free and easy smile, and rushed in the direction where Orange left without even saying goodbye.

For a moment, only Kuonji Yuju and Roland, who were standing still, were left beside the wide river.

‘Judging from the attitude, the other party does not seem to want to interfere with the outcome of this grudge. ’

The witch sighed in her heart, and after hesitating for a while, she still walked to Roland. While waiting for the Aozaki sisters to decide the winner, the only thing she could do seemed to be to get to know her future boss. , by the way, I also want to make some insinuations about the relationship between the other party and Orange.

"What are you thinking about?"

Roland was looking at the slender back of Qingzi with relish. When he heard the witch's question, he was stunned for a moment, and without covering up anything, he spoke his mind freely.

"Just now it suddenly occurred to me that Chengzi's current identity is still my close partner. According to common sense, if she loses, I should comfort her, right? But this precious scene represents the shattering of dreams and the sinking of life. It would be too wasteful not to laugh at the deflated oranges... It’s so hard to decide.”

Looking at Roland who was distressed by such a thing, Kuonji Yuju couldn't help but shudder. She subconsciously hugged her body tightly and had an inexplicable thought in her heart.

What a bad man. Fortunately, he is not my partner...otherwise he would have declined.
