Chapter 142: Deployment of the Valkyrie
"Hey, hey, hey, it's just a joke, don't take it seriously."

Seeing that the two girls seemed to be serious, Luo Qiu quickly jumped out to smooth things over. He was afraid that if they continued like this, the two would play something even more terrifying.

"I'm not kidding!"

This time, the two of them answered in unison.

Immediately, they glared at each other.

Seeing this, Luo Qiu sighed helplessly. One of them was a reincarnated angel, and the other was a true vampire. It was really speechless that they were playing such a childish bet.

"Rosa, what do you want to see me for today?"

When it came to business, Aiqier calmed down a lot after glaring at Mengli. She and Rosa sat opposite Luo Qiu, and she took out a slightly yellowed drawing from her pocket and spread it on the table.

"What is this?" Meng Li blinked.

"It seems to be a map of the imperial capital?" Luo Qiu said a little uncertainly.

"Yes, this is Mizellaner's map." Aiqier nodded, pointed to the three routes drawn on the map, and said, "There are three routes leading to the Royal Theater. If the people from Black Heaven want to attack, they will at least choose one of these routes to break through. It is even more likely that they will attack from all three routes at the same time."

"How do you know if they will be among the group of people preparing to watch the concert?" Luo Qiu asked.

"The detection magic in every corner of the imperial capital has been activated, and the patrol soldiers are also patrolling the imperial capital day and night. Now it has been confirmed that the people from Black Heaven are not in the imperial capital."

"I see. It's reasonable for the emperor to do this with his ability." Luo Qiu agreed with Aiqi'er. "In this case, I personally think it's more likely that they will attack from all three directions. What do you think?"

Rosa nodded silently.

Aiqier continued, "We think so too, so we need three groups of people to guard the three intersections. We have placed teleportation magic on these three roads because we are worried that the battle will affect civilians. When the time comes, we just need to lead them into the teleportation magic and transfer them to a place where no one will disturb us, and then we can slowly deal with them."

"Except for some of the elite soldiers in the palace who are assigned to guard the palace, the rest have been transferred to the Royal Theater. In addition, the elite guards of some noble families have also been transferred there. They are needed there to maintain the stability of the concert and the safety of the emperor. The remaining ordinary soldiers will be no different from sending themselves to die if they fight against the apostles of Black Heaven."

"So, His Majesty the Emperor entrusted us to guard one of the intersections and snipe at the people from Black Heaven?"

"Yes." Aiqier pointed to the route on the far left and said, "This route will be guarded by our Valkyries. Lauren hopes that you can help guard the route in the middle."

"In the middle?" Luo Qiu looked at the map carefully, then smiled softly and said, "You really think highly of me. This road is the main thoroughfare with the heaviest traffic. Aren't you afraid that we will mess it up?"

"Not afraid."

Rosa's voice was so firm that Luo Qiu was a little surprised. He looked at Rosa, but found that there was still no expression on her face.

"Actually, I was a little scared at first, but..." Aiqier said deliberately.

"Then you should go back quickly." Aiqi'er was choked by Mengli just before she finished speaking. She took a deep breath and restrained the urge to send out a big holy light. She ignored Mengli and said, "I heard, junior, you can kill the Cyclops King, the Two-Headed Poison Lizard, and the Greedy Claws by yourself. You must not be an ordinary human. Besides, this guy is not simple either."

'This guy' naturally refers to Mengli.

Meng Li raised his eyebrows, but didn't say much. They were talking about business now. It was okay to make a joke once, but if he did it too many times, it would really be annoying.

However, she and Luo Qiu were a little curious about how Aiqier could tell something was wrong with Mengli. Was it just based on the murderous aura that Mengli released at the Adventurer's Guild that time?
After two contacts, Luo Qiu also discovered that this reincarnated angel was still very immature. Although she was powerful, her personality was similar to her appearance. She was still an immature girl.

So she probably still can't tell Meng Li's true identity.

Although he was a little curious, Luo Qiu did not ask. He knew that it is better to talk too much than to make mistakes. If he accidentally exposed the identity of the cute vampire progenitor, it would be more trouble than gain.

Under the expectant gazes of Aiqier and Rosa, Luo Qiu nodded and said, "I have already paid the deposit, and there is no reason for me to refuse the next job. However, I can only promise to try my best to introduce them to teleportation magic. If something unexpected happens, you can't blame me."

Hearing Luo Qiu agree, Aiqier finally felt relieved. To be honest, she was still a little worried when Lauren gave her this task. If Rosa hadn't accompanied her and she really couldn't spare the time, Lauren would never let this most unreliable little girl do this.

Although Aiqier patted her chest loudly when she accepted the task and said that it would be a piece of cake and she guaranteed to complete the task, she was actually still a little panicked. She was afraid of messing up, and she even rehearsed the process in her mind once or twice on the way here with Rosa.

With a brilliant smile on her round face, Aiqier stood up and patted Luo Qiu's shoulder under Meng Li's hostile gaze, and said with a smile: "Very good, junior, you have a bright future. I believe that in the near future, I will see your name on the honor list."

The Honor List, which is published by the Adventurer's Guild, is a list that records the name of every Honor-level adventurer since the establishment of the Adventurer's Guild. The ranking is recorded in the chronological order of when each adventurer obtained the Honor Cloak.

Being listed on the Honor Roll can be said to be the ultimate pursuit of every adventurer.

"Then I'll lend you my good words." Once again being taught a lesson by Aiqier in the tone of a senior, Luo Qiu could only continue to follow her words with a smile and tears. This made Aiqier more satisfied. This was the attitude one should have towards an adventurer senior. It would be better for that impolite red-haired girl to stay at the Gray Steel level for the rest of her life, and then he could make fun of her.

"By the way, one of the routes belongs to you, 'Valkyrie', one of the routes belongs to me and Mengli, so who will guard the third route?" Luo Qiu asked with a little curiosity.

"Could it be the legendary 'Imperial Sword'?"

"No." Aiqier shook her head and said, "Although that uncle is very powerful, he is also a fool. Whenever the emperor leaves the palace, he will follow him wherever he goes. This time is no exception. He is mainly responsible for protecting the emperor's safety."

"Who could that be?" Luo Qiu became more interested.

According to some intelligence he obtained, apart from the elite of the imperial palace and the 'Valkyrie', there are not many other strong men in the imperial capital who are qualified to guard a route. When you count them, there are only a few of them, and several of them are from the aristocratic faction. Once you reduce the number, there are even fewer candidates.

"Maybe you know them too." Aiqier deliberately did not give an answer.

"Know him?" Luo Qiu originally had some guesses, and now it seemed clearer.

"It's the Glorious Knight." Rosa's words confirmed Luo Qiu's guess.
