The Alchemist Union, in Nitia's laboratory, Selena was a little nervous.

"The news from Lyon just now, that Paladin is coming in about half a month." Selena said, "What should I do?"

"I just came back, can I give me some rest?" Niteya said leaning against the back of the chair.

"It's not the time to rest. Dikao may die if he doesn't do it well!" Selena held her hands on the table, "I need your help to find a solution."

"The way I can think of is to deal with that scroll." Nitia waved her hand, "As for the battle... I don't know him, so I can't know how he is going to do it."

Selena was silent. In fact, she knew that this was true, but when it comes to her lover, she would always get nervous involuntarily.

"What else did Lyon tell you?" Niteya picked up the cup and blew it.

"Confessed." Selena repeated all the words of Lyon and her in the morning.

"Uh...this guy's brain..." The expression on Nitia's face suddenly became a little complicated.

"What's wrong?"

"He doesn't look like he wants to move you," said Nitia, "and I feel more like I want to move myself."

"It doesn't matter, right?" Selena stood up, "I'm going back. I must tell Dekao the news tonight."

After saying that, he opened the door and left in a hurry, but the door was not closed.

"Oh..." Nitia shook her head and said to herself, "What is love... what is it?"

………………………………………

In recent days, Dikao can clearly feel Selena's nervousness.

Since last time I told myself that the Paladin was coming, she has been expressing concern every night when chatting.

The target was Dikao, but he wanted to comfort Selena in turn, making him feel quite interesting.

Selena is undoubtedly a very determined person, but this time the matter is directed at herself and can prove her importance in Selena's heart.

Of course, Dikao was very happy about this, but it was indeed time to consider the issue of that Paladin.

The combat power he has on his side is only useful for those he and Cecilia, and the rest can only be given away, so he doesn't plan to tell others.

The key is whether you can find a way to pull the battlefield a little further. If you are too close to your own place, it is likely to affect your subordinates.

To put it bluntly, even if I can't stand it, I will definitely die.

Then it’s okay if you die. Try not to hold your subordinates and die with them, at least give them time to escape.

To be honest, if possible, Dikao didn't even want Selena to be involved.

But she would definitely not listen to her in this regard, so she didn't speak out to persuade her.

As for Cecilia... she has the invisible skills that are against the will of heaven. To be honest, even if everyone else dies, she is the one who is most likely to escape unscathed.

After Dikao chatted with Selena in his study, he has been considering this issue.

It was only after he thought that it was nine o'clock in the evening that he called Alyssa to let her in.

"My King!"

Alisa pushed open the door and walked in. She could tell that Decao seemed to have something to explain.

"Send someone to send a letter to Cecilia and Gris, and let them change places temporarily." Dikao said, "Let Gris stay east for a while, and Cecilia goes to Gris."

"This... my king, why?" Alisa asked.

"I need Cecilia's help in order to deal with a very difficult enemy!" Dikao said.

It's not that he wants to tell Alisa, but that as his closest maid, he can't hide anything from her.

"A very difficult enemy..." Alisa was stunned for a moment, "How difficult?"

"The fifth-level paladin." Dikao said.

"This..." Alisa didn't know what to say for a moment, after all, the news was too awesome.

A fifth-level paladin can't beat it if it gathers all the existing power!

"You are not going to escape?" Alisa asked.

"Where to escape?" Dikao turned his head and asked, "Now that the mines and quarries have been developed, and the Castlevania has gradually been on track. Can these be taken away?"

"But if you don't leave, you will..."

"Actually, it's no different from whether you leave or not." Dikao shook his head, "It's easy to escape, but all industries have to be thrown away! Alisa, do you know how much loss this is?"

"Of course!" Alisa nodded, "But no matter how big these losses are, they are not as important as your king!"

"Maybe..." Dikao nodded, with a smile on his face, "But no matter what, if these things are lost, they will start over again, and when they start again, they will always encounter various things. Will you give up again at that time?"

"this……"

"Alisha, I tell you this matter. I hope you can execute my subsequent orders!" Dikao said, "If I can't finish this battle alive, the subsequent matters will be left to you!"

"No, my king, let's leave..."

"No need, I've decided!" Dikao shook his head, "If I die then, you can make Cecilia the new devil, or... you can also want freedom."

"No, my king!" Alisa came over and knelt next to Dikao's chair, holding his legs, "I don't want to leave you!"

"Alisa, you've always been very opinionated, so you have to learn to take charge of the big picture for me when I'm not here." Dikao stroked the top of her head, "In fact, you did that, and did it well!"

"You listen to me, my king!" Alisa raised her head and grabbed his hand and said, "As long as she is alive, there is always a chance to start over, but if she dies, there will be nothing!"

"You don't understand," Dikao smiled, "If you leave, you will be gone..."

"My King!"

Maybe it was too anxious, Alisa actually shouted out.

Usually, no one dared to speak loudly to Dikao's territory. You can think that Alisa is really anxious now.

"Stop talking, be obedient!" Dikao patted her head gently.

"So, since that's the case, I..."

"Don't be funny!" Dikao interrupted, "It's okay for me and Cecilia. If you join the war, I will have to spend my energy to take care of you at that time. I might not have won a little."

"You don't have to take care of me, just take me..."

"Alisa, I can't control myself in this matter," said Dikao. "You are my family and an important pillar of my world. This is not a matter of saying a word. I can't watch you die in front of me, do you know?"

The bright moonlight spilled in from the window behind Dikao, leaving his upper body hidden in the shadows, forming a dividing line between light and dark at his waist.

Alyssa, kneeling on the ground, was covered in a layer of moonlight. In Dikao's eyes, she was emitting stars of light, as if a fireflies were tangled around her.

Facing Alyssa's advice, he could understand, but he couldn't do it.

It made Dikao feel a little irritable in his heart.

"My king, I beg you! You don't have to take care of me, even if you treat me as bait, you have nothing to do..."

"Ba"

Dikao suddenly slapped Alyssa in the face.

Alisa, who was not prepared, was caught off guard, and her body flew backwards for more than one meter before falling to the ground and making a muffled sound.

"My King..." Alisa covered her face and supported her upper body, looking up at Dikao.

Her eyes became brighter under the moonlight, as clear as rubies.

But my eyes were covered with transparent tears, and then they slid down my cheeks.

"Don't you understand my order?"

Dikao's voice became low and his pupils had turned dark green.

Although the demon's true body was not opened, the eyes and voice had become what they had transformed.

"You can do whatever I say! When is it your turn to question my decision? Well?!"

Listening to Dikao's gritting teeth, Alyssa covered her cheeks and let tears slide down her cheeks. After a few seconds of silence, she lowered her head in a crying voice and replied, "As for orders!"

Then he hurriedly got up, lowered his head and ran out of the study.

After hearing the sound of the door closing, Dikao, who was sitting in the chair, took a deep breath.

After raising his hand and looking at his palm, he slapped himself again.

Outside the study door, Alyssa sat at the door holding her legs. She heard loud applause from the study room, biting her wrist and preventing herself from crying, but her tears couldn't stop flowing down.

The moonlight shone in from the corridor windows, leaving Alisa on the junction of light and darkness.

Although the head is hidden in the shadows, the tears falling on the floor gradually cross the junction and shine in the moonlight.

………………………………………

Hessler, inside the basement of a warehouse.

Niteya sat on a wooden box with a lollipop in her mouth, thinking boredly about the problems in today's experiment.

“Tu tu tu tu…”

A slight knock on the door sounded, and after Netiya said "come in", a man in a big cloak walked in.
