In the open space not far from the Shutward Palace, several burly men were standing together, discussing something heatedly.

These people are the knights of this castle.At this moment, all of their faces were filled with smiles, looking at the young man with black bone wings in front of them, and among them, the burliest man smiled boldly and patted this The boy praised him loudly:

"Hahaha, Sean! I didn't expect your kid to suddenly become so strong. It really shocked us!"

This person is none other than Rabin Vosgast.At this moment, the left half of his body was still wrapped in a bandage, extending from his shoulder blade to his waist. It was hard to imagine what kind of terrible wound there was underneath.

The people beside him were Pedra, Arnold, Limon, Ed, Barton, and Sean, who was the focus of their attention.

Standing in front of these familiar seniors, Sean lowered his head in embarrassment and smiled in embarrassment:

"Captain, I just happened to be lucky. There is nothing to praise -"

"Hey, what a coincidence! Why didn't I meet this kind of coincidence??!"

Before he could finish speaking, Barton shouted hurriedly next to him.His handsome face was full of envy, jealousy and hatred. He just stood behind Sean, his hands dishonestly rubbing the pair of black bone wings on the latter's back, and he muttered dissatisfiedly:

"It's okay to become twice as strong, but to grow such a pair of huge wings is really unreasonable..."

Upon hearing what Barton said, Sean suddenly became even more embarrassed and couldn't help but defended: "These wings are useless, they are just a burden."

"Hey, you have the nerve to say that - if you have the ability, just give it to me and let me bear this burden!"

Without any intention of letting Sean go, Barton shouted dissatisfiedly, but at this moment his eyes saw the black-haired woman walking towards here, and he couldn't help but be slightly startled.

Before he could react, Sean, Pedra, Rabin and Arnold had already seen Angie coming, smiled at her and waved:

"Angie! You're here!"

Seeing these familiar old faces, Anji couldn't help but smile brightly and greeted them warmly.

It seemed that they didn't recognize who this person was. Limon and Ed just looked at the black-haired girl in surprise. Before they could say anything, they saw Barton running directly over, with his arms wide open. Crying exaggeratedly:

"Little Anji!! You finally know how to come visit the master——"

With just a slight sideways move, Anji accurately tripped Barton, who was rushing over.

His shouting stopped suddenly, but instead of falling to the ground, he supported himself with both hands and stood up quickly.

After wiping off the dirt on his hands, Barton looked at Anji dissatisfiedly and found that she had left him and walked towards the crowd over there. He suddenly became emotional and caught up with her and patted her heavily on the shoulder:
"Hey! How can you be so cold to Master?? Even if you don't give me a hug, you even tripped me on purpose. It's too much!!"

"You can't be my master now, I'm just as good as your master."

Anji didn't want to show any favor to the guy opposite her who "put on airs with her all day long" - this guy didn't like to talk all day long, and she felt sorry for "being hurt by him every day if she didn't treat him well". "Myself.

Looking at Barton's hand on her shoulder, Anji suddenly had an idea at this moment, grabbed his wrist, and said with a smile in his shocked and angry eyes:
"If you have the ability, you can try to compare your strength with me?~"

"you!!"

Faced with her arrogant provocation, Barton was so anxious that he could not speak.

He tried hard to get rid of her hand, but no matter how he moved, his wrist was still tightly clamped by Anji and could not move at all.

Regardless of his face, he could only use his other hand and use all his strength to pry Anji's hand away.But even so, those slender fingers showed no signs of loosening, which made his delicate face gradually turn red, and he shouted unwillingly:

"Uh-huh - you...weird girl!"

Seeing that he was serious, Anji smiled helplessly and took the initiative to let go of his hand: "Okay, okay~ Anyway, don't pounce on me casually in the future, got it?"

"Hey, why do I feel like you're talking to me like you're lecturing a child? I'm obviously older -"

"Okay Barton, stop making trouble. You are not young anymore, why are you still so impetuous?"

Suddenly, Pedra spoke in a deep voice, interrupting his indignant voice.

Originally, Barton was a little dissatisfied, but looking at the other party's serious look, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He could only turn his head and look to the other side, silently listening to Pedra and Anji chatting:

"You look almost the same as when we saw you in Grand Village. However, I heard from Sean that your patience level is now 137. Is this true?"

"Well, really."

Nodding without hesitation, Angie saw a rare smile on Pedra's calm face and gave her a thumbs up:

"Well done. Now, Lord Slade's 'next bodyguard' must be you. This is not only a supreme honor, but also a substantial leap in your personal status - when you officially become a bodyguard , even if we see you, we have to call you 'Lord Anji'."

Hearing what Pedra said, Anji suddenly felt embarrassed: "Senior Pedra, please don't call me that... I will always be the junior who has been taken care of by you. If you really call me that, I will really Will you run away on the spot?"

"I'm not kidding. The status of the personal guards is not comparable to that of our group - meeting the personal guards is like meeting Lord Slade himself, you always know this, right?"

Pedra's tone was still so calm.

Only this time, although he had no intention of giving in, there was a smile on his face, as if he was approving Anji's humble performance, which made Anji helplessly smile and stopped being polite to him. Immediately afterwards, I heard Li Meng next to me ask:

"Anji, why do you look like this? When I first saw you, I thought you looked a little strange, but now that I have taken a closer look, I think you look quite pleasing to the eye... Oh, me too I don’t know how to describe it!”

While Angie and Pedra were talking, he had been looking at Angie curiously.Seeing that they were almost done talking, he took the time to speak, but his words made Ed laugh on the spot, and he couldn't help but say:
"Haha, what does 'pleasing to the eyes' mean? Just compliment her honestly on how beautiful she is."

Hearing his words, Limon scratched his head sheepishly, and Angie smiled back at him, and then heard Ed congratulate her:

"Congratulations, little girl. Before you came back, I really didn't expect you to grow up so fast. It seems that we will have no chance to compete with each other again in the future - at my level, I can no longer be so shy as yours. Now I’m sparring with my opponent.”

"Senior Ed, you are too humble. This will make it very difficult for me - you are my senior, and you have much more knowledge and experience than me. I need more advice from you in terms of combat. It’ll take just a moment.”

Anji said to him sincerely, saw him laughing heartily, and decisively agreed:
"Hahaha, okay, okay~ If you have any questions, just come to me. Whatever I know, I will answer it carefully for you."

"Hmm!~"

Although it was just some polite greetings, Anji had respect for the seniors who had taught him and was very happy to chat with them.

After that, Anji finally came to Captain Arnold and Captain Rabin, and smiled and said hello to these two former comrades in Grand Village:

"Long time no see, Arnold, Captain Rabin."

"Well, it's been a long time since I last saw you."

Arnold seemed fine.He responded to her with a smile, a bit shy, and Rabin said to her enthusiastically:
"Oh, Angie! I just heard Sean say that you encountered a lot of dangers outside this time, and you completely changed your appearance. I was just thinking about when I could see you, and you suddenly appeared in front of me. !”

Seeing that this burly man was still so energetic, Anji felt a little relieved.

However, while he was talking, her attention was completely attracted by the white bandages on his body.These bandages not only covered half of his body, but were also tightly wrapped in several layers. This made Anji couldn't help but feel sad, and asked with a low expression:
"Captain Rabin, are these injuries of yours a punishment for 'concealing the truth'?" (End of Chapter)
