Chapter 53: Are You Really a Professional? (begs to be read)
Wright looked in the direction of Lilith’s finger, and it was true!
Two flags fluttered in the middle of the camp in front of them, one was the flag of the First Empire, while the other was a cream-colored regimental flag embroidered with golden rosebuds.
“Strange ……”
Wright frowned slightly, his face puzzled. Emily couldn’t help but ask.
“What’s wrong?”
“I didn’t feel Vanessa’s life energy, the others don’t have high combat power, there’s one Saint Rank Primary, four Fifth Ranks, and the rest of the thirty people are all Fourth Ranks.”
“That’s still not high! What a terrible configuration! Many empire’s royal escort knights are less than this level alright!”
Wright shook his head, “Back then, when Vanessa left the Holy Capital, she was the one with the highest realm among the other nine, only half a step away from the Holy Rank.
Moreover, her qualifications are strangely high, or else she wouldn’t have broken the rules to be listed as one of the trainee saints.
It is important to know that the royal bloodlines of various countries are not allowed to serve in the church hierarchy, this is a rule set by the first pope.
According to my projections, she should at least be in the late stage of the Holy Order by now, or have already touched the threshold of the Legend realm.”
Emily instantly beat a retreat, “Are the three of us going to come and rob a Knight Order of this configuration? Are you not awake, or am I not awake?”
Lilith shook Wright impatiently, “Alright, alright. Wouldn’t it be better if she wasn’t there, and it reduces the risk of being recognized.
Your target isn’t her anyway, hurry up and finish the job, we can still catch up on our sleep when we get back.”
Wright nodded slightly, “Good, we’ll go out in a while. I’ll be in charge of frontal fire suppression, Emily you’ll be in charge of destroying their carriages to follow the line of supplies!”
“Wait a minute! Aren’t we robbing, shouldn’t we be robbing things? How did it become mere destruction?
If we want to simply destroy, why don’t we sneak in?”
Wright righteously rejected the proposal, “I, Wright, have lived a bright and honorable life, how can I do something as undignified as sneak attack!”
“Robbery is bright and honorable! On the decent? Your plausible moral bottom line, can you not be so flexible and changeable!”
Lilith pulled back the righteously indignant Emily, “You shouldn’t get serious with him, because you’ll be taken in by the logic of his thinking and end up tying your own brain in a dead knot.
Let him play his tricks however he wants, we just need to watch quietly. Then just laugh at him to your heart’s content when he flips out.”
A word that woke up the dreamer, Emily held Lilith’s hand with two glowing eyes.
“Right! Makes sense!”
Seeing the two women reach a consensus, Wright couldn’t help but roll his eyes, and then carried the two of them to the front of the Holy Rose Female Knights’ camp.
Emily broke away from Wright’s hand and straightened her clothes, “Then what, what are you going to do?”
Only to see Wright conjure up a light and fire spell ring, then condensed a ball of fire and threw it into the air of the camp with a searching sound.
Boom!
Along with the fireball exploding like fireworks, the entire camp was illuminated.
Under Emily’s incomprehensible gaze, Wright took a deep breath and hissed angrily at the camp!
“Robbery!!! There’s no gasping for air! Get your ass out here!!!”
The voice echoed through the camp, followed closely by the sound of heavy footsteps, scraping against heavy armor.
In less than thirty seconds after Wright’s fireball explosion, the thirty-six female paladins of the Holy Rosary Knights were already fully armed with their holy shields and lances, waiting at the entrance of the camp.
Wright were somewhat surprised, “Wow …… these people, do they sleep in armor at night?”
The female knight at the head pointed her lance remotely, “What kind of people are you! What do you want to do!”
“Hmph! Listen up! We are three vicious robbers, here to rob you today!”
The female knight had a strange expression, “Rob, robbed?”
“Right! The car over presses the road! Horses pass and chew grass! It is your duty to pay the toll!”
However, when Wright finished shouting the business slogan, the Holy Rosary Knights on the opposite side fell into an eerie silence.
Wright froze in place, then his body slowly leaned back.
“What’s the situation, why aren’t they reacting? Could it be that I just shouted the wrong words?” Emily shook her head repeatedly as she clutched her staff, “Don’t you ask me! Aren’t you guys professionals?”
Lilith was also frowning, “It should be right …… Why don’t you try again with a different word?”
“Right, right, right! Ahem!”
Wright poses again and roars, “This mountain is mine! This tree was planted by me! To pass through here! Leave your money behind!”
However, after the slogan was shouted, the opposite side remained eerily silent.
Wright got a bit tense and quietly leaned back again, “What’s the matter, this isn’t working either? Why don’t they say anything?”
Emily scratched her head, “Although I haven’t robbed or been robbed …… but that doesn’t sound wrong.”
“The atmosphere is awkward ah hello! Are they looking at me, are they laughing already? Is my face red?”
“Don’t be nervous, you’re wearing a mask!”
At this time, the leading female knight finally spoke up.
“That, robbing, right? Collecting tolls, right? But …… we don’t intend to cross the road ah, at least not right now.
If you charge a toll, why don’t you wait until we start on the road tomorrow?”
The air was instantly quiet, and both the robbers and the robbed were silent.
In this awkward situation, Wright suddenly turned his head and walked back. Then he turned around and walked over quickly, striking the same pose as just now.
“Hmph! Listen up! We are three vicious robbers who have come to rob you today!”
Emily was outright dumbfounded, “What do you mean, pretend what just happened doesn’t exist, jump right back to the beginning and do it all over again?
You can have some face!”
Lilith gave a heartfelt thumbs up, “You can, even after all the time we’ve spent together, you still redefine what it means to be strangely mental.”
Unexpectedly, the leader of the opposite female knight group was very cooperative.
“So it’s a vicious robber! I am Helen Crowell, the deputy leader of the Holy Rose Knights!”
Wright happily leaned back, “Hey! This girl is unexpectedly a good person! Helped us out!”
Emily was filled with disgust, “Not us! It’s you! Also, she’s a Paladin, a good person in her own right!
Mr. Evil Robber! Hurry up and proceed down! Don’t let them down!”
Wright hurriedly stood up straight, but fell silent. Emily, seeing this, hastened to come up.
“Say something!”
“Yah …… because the usual routine isn’t working and for a moment I couldn’t think of what to say next.”
“…… Are you really a professional?”
Well at that moment, Deputy Head Helen spoke again, “This robber …… sir, may I ask what you intend to rob?”
“Ah yes yes yes! It’s to rob something!”
Wright touched along with his chin and fell silent again. Emily saw this and the man was on the verge of breaking down.
“Say something!”
“Don’t argue! Aren’t tolls off limits to robbery? I’m thinking of what to rob!”
“I just told you to think ahead! You didn’t listen! How about now! Still a professional? I shouldn’t believe a word you say!”
“Sex robbery!”
Lilith stepped forward in the midst of the crisis, “We’ll take it! Sex Robbery!”
Unexpectedly, Helen snorted out a laugh, “Miss Lilith still likes to joke around so much. Is it true? Your Highness Wright, are you planning to rob the color?
If you do, Her Highness Joanna will be sad. But our Princess Highness will have a chance.”
