Alina, a henchman of Ariel Anemoi Asra, the second princess of the kingdom.
Since Alina came to Ariel's side, Alina has used Ariel's identity to do things that others dare not do.
Royal status does have some uses, such as in making money and recruiting soldiers.
Occasionally exploiting businessmen was commonplace for the two of them.
The two worked together and actually expanded their influence during this downtime, although to Ariel's older brother, this influence seemed like child's play and was quite ridiculous.
However, such a combination is truly unmatched within the country, and merchants who encounter Alina usually have no choice but to accept their defeat.
This caused Alina's reputation to plummet to negative levels, making her the kind of person everyone would avoid.
However, this little rascal unexpectedly appeared here at this moment.
The merchants' hair stood on end. Those who could run away quickened their pace, while those who couldn't huddle in a corner, like quail eggs.
Of course, some businessmen simply watched the spectacle with amusement.
Most of these merchants who were just watching the spectacle were either affiliated with the Second Prince or the First Prince. Their lives and fortunes were already tied to those two powerful princes, a relationship that could be described as one where they shared both prosperity and adversity.
Therefore, these people believed that Alina wouldn't dare to cause them trouble, which is why they were so brazen in looking at Alina walking down the street.
However, this time Alina's target was not those merchants.
For the first half hour, Alina was still dealing with some trivial matters in the palace.
Having experienced so many setbacks, Alina has grown a lot. She was originally a cunning woman, but she was too young and lacked life experience.
However, Alina is different now; she gives people the feeling of being reborn.
Alina walked straight to the restaurant, glanced at the not-so-large canteen, and her sharp gaze swept over the faces, some unfamiliar and some familiar.
Some of the people swept by the wave were merchants who had been reprimanded by Alina. Upon seeing Alina, their expressions instantly turned as if they had swallowed a fly.
However, when Alina looked over, the merchants still managed to force out a smile that was even uglier than a grimace.
These businessmen really had no way to deal with this little devil.
Alina's gaze quickly settled on the boy sitting in the innermost window seat.
The boy was by the window, and the woman next to him mostly obscured his figure, making it difficult to see clearly.
However, one can see the magnificent knight's uniform worn by the boy. The uniform does not belong to any particular country, and the style looks quite novel. The overall color is gray and white, and it does not look particularly eye-catching. It belongs to the understated luxury type.
Alina's wine-red eyes narrowed slightly. She could sense a very familiar scent emanating from the other person, and at the same time, a voice in her mind kept telling her to get closer.
Chapter 349 Entering the City
However, Alina didn't move; her heavy armor completely concealed her developing body. Alina looked at Roya with a stern expression and said in a deep voice, "Why are you here?"
Roya, sitting in the chair, raised an eyebrow. Alina could sense his presence, so Roya naturally knew of Alina's arrival the moment she stepped into the room.
Roya did not answer Alina's question, but instead said to the woman opposite him, "Bring that lady a chair; she will be your colleague in the future."
Seeing that Roya did not respond, Alina was not annoyed at all. She simply stepped forward and came to Roya's side.
Alina's gaze remained fixed on Roya, because in her view, Roya was the only one who posed the greatest threat and possessed the most terrifying strength.
The recent changes in the rankings on the stone tablet have almost spread throughout the entire world.
The stone tablet of the seven great powers is also a rare treasure. It was forged by the God of Skill and has the ability to update the rankings of the seven great powers in real time.
Once someone is successfully challenged by another, the name on the stone tablet will change.
As for how the master craftsman managed to do this, nobody knows.
Luo Ya pointed to the chair in front of him, a slight smile playing on his lips. He looked at the girl he had saved by chance many years ago and nodded slightly, saying, "You've become more beautiful."
However, all Roya received in response was a beautiful eye roll.
Alina sat down directly. She herself was not very heavy, but the moment her heavy armor touched the chair, the chair creaked under the weight.
Alina looked at Roya expressionlessly, her little face full of seriousness, and said, "So, what do you want to do here this time?"
Luo Ya smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, relax. It's been a while since we last met, I think you must miss me."
"Missing you? No, I feel like I'm doing just fine right now."
Alina said coldly.
Luo Ya shrugged and stared blankly at the wine in his glass.
The alcohol content of the beverage is not high, and the taste is hard to describe.
The brewing method here is quite rudimentary, using only the simplest method of fermenting grains before brewing.
The most obvious drawback of this approach is that the alcoholic beverages are very mixed, have low alcohol content, require a lot of grain, and are not cheap.
This is why the chivalrous heroes of ancient China ate meat and drank wine with gusto.
In today's society, people drink baijiu (Chinese liquor) with an alcohol content of 30 or 40 degrees all the time. Who would dare to drink it like that?
Seeing that Roya remained silent, Alina frowned slightly, her wine-red eyes fixed on him, and said in a deep voice, "So, what are you planning to do by summoning me this time? If you hadn't suddenly contacted me, I would have thought you had forgotten about me."
"I'm not here to see you. To be precise, I'm here to see the person behind you, Ariel."
Alina nodded slightly, her expression unchanged. Her clear, melodious voice echoed as she continued, "So, what do you need me to do?"
“Take me to see her, and then you’re done with this,” Roya said.
Alina hesitated for a moment, but soon nodded in agreement to Roya's request.
"can."
After speaking, Alina stood up, her heavy armor emitting a series of metallic clanging sounds.
Alina's gaze lingered on the three women beside Roya, none of whom were particularly attractive or well-built. A smile crept onto her lips, and her gaze toward Roya carried a hint of mockery.
Alina casually remarked, "What's wrong, future Sword God? It seems you really need a woman's company."
Seeing that Alina seemed to have misunderstood something, Roya explained, "These people are all people I saved who were about to die. I need them to do some other things, so please stop being sarcastic."
Alina had only mentioned it casually and didn't take the three of them too seriously.
If it weren't for Roya sitting there, Alina wouldn't have even glanced at the three of them.
Having received a rather perfunctory answer, Alina didn't press the matter further and got up to walk out of the store.
Luo Ya handed a few silver coins to a girl next to him and asked her to pay the bill.
Roya got up and followed Alina to the front door.
The two girls who were sitting down also got up and walked towards where Roya was.
Roya thought for a moment, then took out a throat flute from the fairy's pocket. The longsword and its scabbard were wrapped in a layer of white cloth. Roya casually tossed the longsword into a girl's hand.
The Throat Flute sword itself is nothing special, and its weight is not as exaggerated as the other six swords, but its value is undeniable. As one of the Seven Swords of the Sword God, even though it is not as heavy as the other six swords, it is still a considerable challenge for ordinary people.
It was only because Roya used the life force of the radiant Almanfi to strengthen the three of them; otherwise, with their withered and dry bodies, they probably wouldn't have been able to lift a brick, let alone a longsword.
The moment the throat flute and longsword were in her hands, the young girl almost stumbled and fell to the ground. Another woman nearby saw this and reached out to support her, preventing the longsword from falling to the ground.
Luo Ya ignored the two of them, simply saying, "Follow me," and continued on his way.
Neither of them walked very fast. Behind Roya were two girls. Looking at the two slightly flustered girls behind her, Alina asked with some confusion, "What's the point of what you're doing? I don't quite understand."
Roya followed Alina at the front of the group. In response to Alina's answer, Roya said coldly, "Just give them a reason to live."
Alina seemed lost in thought. After saying that, Roya didn't say anything more.
The road ahead wasn't far, and the magnificent building standing in the very center was the capital of this city.
Roya maintained a moderate pace throughout. Along the way, Alina chatted with Roya about other things. Even though neither of them was walking fast and there were three girls following behind them, they still arrived at the entrance of the magnificent building.
Alina and Roya stopped at the gate. Alina hesitated for a moment, then nudged Roya and asked, "Do you have any title?"
"A title?" Roya looked down at the white-haired general and nodded slightly. "Yes, are the baronies of the Fitoa territory enough?"
Alina knew about the Fituia territory, and she glanced at Roya with some surprise.
"Since he is a baron, there shouldn't be any problem."
Chapter 350 Interception
With that, Alina felt more confident and swaggered to the palace gate.
The two guards standing at the gate did not let Alina pass directly, but instead stopped her with their weapons. The two soldiers said in an official manner, "Miss Alina, please show your identification."
Alina pouted and pulled a small token out of her pocket with a displeased look.
The token had only three words written on it: Ariel.
Upon seeing the token, the two nodded and then looked at Roya.
Alina also turned her gaze to Roya.
Roya scratched his head. Now the problem was, he didn't have any token.
Just then, slightly hurried footsteps came from behind. A young girl, covered in sweat and carrying a long sword, jogged up behind Roya.
Roya took the throat flute and said directly, "I heard that this place is not just the capital city of Ars, but also the dojo of the Water God School."
The moment Roya drew his longsword, the guard drew his own knight's sword. The soldier's face was cold, and his eyes were fixed on Roya. Another soldier glanced at Alina and said with a gloomy expression, "This is not a place for you to run wild. Outsiders, if you are nobles, take off your weapons and go back to get your documents to prove your identity. Then I will let you in."
