I have a Synthesizer

#225 - It's time to deal with Shadow 3

As Shadow Three stepped out of the carriage, before he could even sense Lilith's presence, her voice came from above him.

"Shadow Three, I once asked you if I could still trust you, and you replied that I could always trust you. Now, I ask you the same question again, can I still trust you?"

Although it was the same question, this time, Shadow Three didn't answer Lilith directly. After a moment, Shadow Three said in a low, hoarse voice:

"You already suspect me. I don't believe you would let me go with your personality. So, what's the point of you saying all this to me?"

Lilith slightly lowered her center of gravity and drew the iron sword from her waist.

"If you answer me honestly, I can let you go."

Shadow Three let out a low chuckle.

"Heh heh heh, if I didn't know you well enough, I might have actually believed you. Are you still in contact with Klein? Did you come out alone to find him?"

Lilith shook her head, not answering Shadow Three's question.

"Shadow Three, we came out of the Dark Crusader training camp together. I've always considered you a trustworthy companion. In just two years, you've become Asmond's lackey?

It doesn't seem quite right. If I go back to two years ago, when I first suggested inviting Klein, your attitude was already off. Could I say that you were originally Asmond's man?

Our meeting, our acquaintance, the so-called trajectory of fate, was it all prearranged by Asmond?

What is your purpose? Me? Or my father, Kukasero?"

Faced with Lilith's repeated questioning, Shadow Three still chose to remain silent, but this time, he also drew his short blades.

"Lilith, when you drew your sword, you actually already had a choice and an answer in your heart, but I haven't actually hurt you."

Lilith chuckled: "I know, you like to call this kind of deception a benevolent lie, saying it's for my own good.

After leaving the Dark Crusaders, J Corporation is our best destination. Lord Asmond is powerful and steady; following him will lead to a future.

Your biggest mistake, the thing you shouldn't have done the most, is getting involved with Klein. He belongs to Lord Asmond; you shouldn't have touched him."

Shadow Three's words made Lilith's fingers tremble. This was the anger after receiving Shadow Three's direct admission.

"No, my biggest mistake was continuing to trust you after Lance's death. So, I'm going to fix that mistake. I can't touch you in J Corporation, but now it's no longer J Corporation. Today, you must die."

"Heh heh, Lilith, we're too familiar with each other's abilities. If we're just talking about escaping, do you think you can catch me alone?"

Just then, Klein's voice suddenly came from behind Shadow Three, silently, so that Shadow Three didn't notice at all.

"Unfortunately, she's not alone."

Unlike Shadow Step, which merges into the shadows, Klein's body appeared directly from a black mist behind Shadow Three.

Shadow Three had just wanted to fight back, but found that his arms were already trapped by a fine thread and couldn't move at all.

Klein's dense bone chains were enough to seal off everything here. Seeing that the situation was not good, Shadow Three decisively made his body gradually ethereal and floated forward.

Lilith didn't hold back at all. She used a flash step to come to the side of the phantom, and with a sword carrying dark battle aura, she scattered the shadow beneath her.

"A fake?"

Lilith was shocked when she saw Shadow Three floating in another direction. Just then, Klein moved.

"When Lance died, I let you run away once outside the imperial capital. Do you think I'll let you run away a second time in the same situation?"

Klein's body instantly turned into a black mist, quickly approaching the phantom that Shadow Three had transformed into.

At the same time, his silent steel ball fell to the ground, creating an absolutely silent environment for the battle that was about to occur between the two.

Klein's mist form was obviously faster than Shadow Three. A cyan-white arcane glow appeared in Klein's hand, and the moment the mist touched the phantom.

Shadow Three's virtualization was immediately dispelled, and the entire body instantly turned into a lamb.

"Baa! Baa!"

Klein didn't stop at all. Shadow Three wasn't an ordinary opponent. His combat ability might not be considered strong, but his flexibility was too strong.

Klein had to completely disable Shadow Three in a very short time. Six bone blades instantly appeared, simultaneously piercing Shadow Three's legs, hands, sternum, and abdomen from six angles.

At the same time, the effect of the silent steel ball absorbed all the surrounding sounds and didn't bring any magical fluctuations. Groans and roars were also completely silenced.

Even the fifth-level expert, Facques, didn't notice the fleeting battle on the roof of the car.

Klein grabbed Shadow Three and returned to the freight car at the end of the train, throwing Shadow Three in front of Lilith.

Lilith looked at the seriously injured Shadow Three and said softly.

"Thanks, Klein."

"You're welcome!"

After saying that, Klein didn't say anything more, just quietly retreated to the side.

During the day, after Klein gave Lilith the ring, Lilith had Joe bring the ring back and brought back a letter.

The content of the letter was to help Lilith capture Shadow Three. Although Shadow Three's strength wasn't as strong as Lilith's, his stealth and escape abilities were too outstanding. Lilith alone had no confidence at all.

So, she chose to use herself to attract Shadow Three's attention, and then let Klein set a trap in advance, which allowed the two to easily take down Shadow Three, who had cultivated Shadow Step to the extreme.

Bringing the Shadow Three in front of her back to the last carriage, Klein put away the silent ball.

"Wasn't he always your partner? Why did you suddenly attack him? Are you sure there's something wrong with him?"

Even now, Klein wasn't sure why Lilith wanted to attack Shadow Three. Lilith's expression was a little dim.

"Yes, there's something wrong with him."

"Do you want me to help you do it? It might make you feel better."

After a moment of silence, Lilith said resolutely.

"No, I'll take care of it myself."

Klein nodded, watching Lilith jump off the rear of the car. No one can really understand being betrayed by a friend.

Looking at the extinguished bonfire on the ground, Klein felt that he should do something a boyfriend should do, like grilling some meat.

Extending more than a dozen skeletons, he tore off some branches from the surrounding trees. Klein rekindled the fire, but this time, he didn't encounter any of those large quails for a long time.

"It's only three in the morning, are the quails asleep? That's too disrespectful!"

After 10 minutes, Klein, unable to get any quails, chose to jump off the car and kill a boar. Looking at the time, there wasn't enough time to grill it, and boars were much harder to clean than quails.

So, he decided to synthesize it and then heat it on the campfire.

Not long after, Lilith jumped onto the carriage. Klein didn't say anything, just handed Lilith half of the boar chop and quietly watched her eat.

Lilith was a purely carnivorous creature, and at this time, she had a kind of intention to turn grief into appetite. It didn't take long to finish an entire boar. She wiped her hands and smiled at Klein.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten food you made. It's really delicious. That grilled quail was also good. I feel much better."

Klein was stunned. Wasn't the grilled quail for Joe? Was it snatched? This guy is really a poor kid.

Klein sat at the end of the train carriage, Lilith leaned on his shoulder, and the two quietly watched the night and stars, spending a peaceful night.

… …

Three days later, the food reserves on the train had been eaten, and many members of the escort team had begun to eat Klein's bread.

Because Klein wanted to be fast and didn't care about the quality, the quality of the bread was slightly poor, but he really didn't deliberately make it very bad. It was just that he didn't put too much effort into it, resulting in the bread tasting very average.

The members of the escort team didn't feel anything was wrong, after all, Klein's magic level was there. Although the bread he made wasn't heartfelt, it wasn't much different from the bread made by ordinary arcane mages.

These combat personnel who often went out on missions usually ate bread of about this level, and even Facques didn't feel anything unusual.

But they could accept it, but some people couldn't accept it, such as the Great Princess Qianhua.

At this time, the Great Princess Qianhua slammed the bread on the table.

"This is so unpalatable, is it for humans to eat? It's like fodder for beasts of burden. Is this still an excellent arcanist? Can an excellent arcanist make such bread?"

Facques secretly shook his head. If Qianhua was just complaining about the bread, there was nothing wrong with it, but she shouldn't have included the people.

If this bread wasn't for humans to eat? Then what were the people on the train eating bread now? So Qianhua's words had a bit of a scolding tone.

Facques could feel that although these people were still eating bread, their voices were quieter than before.

They were all outstanding members of various guilds, not to the point of arguing over this little thing, but they would definitely leave a bad impression of Qianhua in their hearts.

Facques reminded: "Your Highness, you are a princess, please pay attention to your words."
