Quadruple split

"call……"

Just after the mushroom cloud rose up with great momentum, but its explosive power was basically limited to a very small area, Frank Hughes, who stood behind Futaba, had seven or eight layers of elemental shields brushed on his body. He breathed a sigh of relief, held his forehead and said dizzily: "Are we...safe?"

Futaba glanced back at this guy who seemed to be out of the situation at first glance, and laughed angrily: "Which of your eyes saw that we are safe?"

Mo Tan touched the tip of his nose and raised his hand to point to the mushroom cloud in the distance that had not dissipated yet and the elemental torrent that was raging crazily in the air. He hesitated and said: "Because your attack just now was..."

"It's very strong. Of course I know it's very strong, but the opponent is not weak either."

Futaba impatiently considered the opponent, then raised his hand to apply two arcane shields on the latter, and asked casually: "Have you ever heard of the law of smoke without injury?"

Frank shook his head subconsciously, and then said with some uncertainty: "But if you let me guess, it should be something similar... In the case of a lot of smoke, the enemy may not be harmed? "

The girl nodded vigorously, and while playing with the staff in her hand, she replied absently: "Yes, yes, your understanding ability is not bad."

"This should be...impossible."

Frank replied with an uncertain tone and took two steps forward: "Although I don't know very well, Futaba, that move you just made must be very powerful. To say it has no effect..."

"Get back!"

Futaba angrily summoned an earth elemental hand to grab Frank's collar, forcefully pushed him back behind him, and said angrily: "Are you looking for death? You can't understand people's words, right? Didn't I tell you everything? We are not safe yet!!”

Frank, who subconsciously wanted to stand in front of Futaba, scratched his hair, smiled coquettishly, and then said softly: "I think, Futaba, you'd better go."

"ha?"

Futaba twitched the corner of his mouth and looked Frank up and down with eyes that looked like he was observing a congenitally ignorant child: "Are you sick? Why didn't I leave earlier if I could? I left and you were left here to die?"

Frank looked away, and his tone became calm and reassuring inexplicably: "Their target can't be me, right?"

"nonsense."

The girl rolled her eyes angrily and complained: "Do you think Ning is worthy?"

"It's not worthy. Of course I can't take on such a big battle."

Frank shook his head and shrugged: "I remember you told me before that there was a man who fell in love with you and killed him. He should be named 'Tan Mo', right? He has always wanted to do you harm, and you still doubted me before. That’s who he is.”

Futaba was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyes and turned to glance at the harmless, gentle man with glasses behind him: "To be precise, it's not 'I still doubted you before', but 'I still doubt you now'."

"It makes sense."

Frank nodded briskly and smiled: "In that case, you can make the following two conjectures. First, I am the Tan Mo who has always wanted to murder you, whether I was close to Diana or accompanying you. Whether we go to the library to trade with Mr. Taling, the purpose is to make you lose your vigilance, and on this basis to deepen our understanding of you, and then... at this perfect opportunity, we can lay a safe killing trap."

The corner of his mouth turned up in a sarcastic arc, Futaba nodded lazily, and asked playfully: "Very good, the first guess you made is very constructive, what next?"

"And then there's the second guess."

Frank's face remained unchanged and he said calmly: "That's me. As you have gradually come to believe, I am an ordinary man named Frank Hughes who loves Diana deeply. I met Futaba just by chance. It was just pure misfortune to be involved in this accident.”

Futaba sneered: "That's really embarrassing. Do you need me to apologize to you?"

"If the essence of the matter belongs to the first conjecture."

Frank ignored the ridicule in Futaba's tone and just said to himself: "Then Futaba, you can just leave me behind, because assuming that I am Mr. Tanmo, then my life and death are not at all important to you. It’s not important. In other words, even if my life and death are important, I won’t die in this situation I set up, right?”

Futaba turned his attention to the elemental storm that was gradually dissipating, and said absently: "To be honest, Frank, I have always been curious about why you are obviously a very smart person, but you always pretend Where is the stupid nympho?"

"If we take Diana into account, maybe it's because 'nymphomaniac' is really a vital part of who I am."

Frank laughed lightly and then continued: "So, if it is the second possibility, does this Frank beside you have no evil intentions? You should also leave here immediately, because their target is you, not me. For such an insignificant person, of course, even if they mistakenly think that our relationship is very good, I can explain the matter clearly after you leave and tell these people that I am Diana's lover and you are Diana's. Apprentice, we don’t take each other seriously.”

Shuangyeliu frowned slightly and asked unhappily: "Do you think I will cooperate with you? Do you think those people will give you a chance to explain?"

"They should be able to, because I can probably guess that among the... uh, in her words, 'worthless gifts' that Diana gave me in the past, there must be something that can prevent me from being in danger of my life and can save me at the critical moment. Something that saves my life at all times and even notifies her remotely.”

Frank touched the tip of his nose and said with a wry smile: "Although I prefer taking care of her than being taken care of by Diana, we must admit that as the heir of the [Stars] lineage of the Achizolti family, as the only three people in the world One of the great astrologers, she is far more qualified than me to protect my lover."

Futaba was silent.

"I believe that the trouble you are facing, Futaba, is not ordinary. The current situation is probably much more severe than what I have seen, understood, and recognized. But because of this, we should choose to be more prudent and rational. The way."

Frank, who was firmly bound by the multi-element shield, took some difficult steps and stood side by side with Futaba. However, he did not turn his eyes to the latter, but said to himself: "You shouldn't hesitate, before I In my understanding, the talented and beautiful girl next to me is not a sentimental person, and being emotional is not your style, especially... meaningless emotion."

Futaba suddenly turned her head to look at Frank, her eyes cold: "Who do you think you are talking to?"

"My friend, Diana's precious apprentice, the genius and beautiful mage Miss Futaba with an unpredictable personality and moody moods."

Frank smiled and said leisurely: "I don't deserve you to put yourself in danger, nor will you be killed painlessly by these attackers who are not coming for you. Believe me, no one wants to bear the pain." Anna A. Archzolti's rage, unless they are prepared to never have a peaceful night's sleep again."

"So, in your opinion, the best way now is..."

Futaba played with the [Enforcer] in his hand and said expressionlessly: "I will leave you immediately and leave immediately. After that, you will make sure that you are fine without any distractions. As Diana's lover, this is It is your greatest support. If the other party does not believe it or does not intend to give you a chance to explain the situation, you also believe that the protective means Diana left for you in advance can prevent you from being killed instantly. If things evolve into that situation, not only will you You can prove that you are Diana's connection, and you can even rely on the effect of the corresponding protective measures to make Diana realize that something is wrong, and then leave to save you."

Frank smiled happily, nodded and said: "That's right, and Futaba, you will get a precious respite. I can guarantee that there is not much time left for the other party to waste. Soon, when [Tuning Sage] 】After you and Diana react, your situation will be safe immediately, and then..."

"Stop! Don't treat me like an idiot. I know exactly what you are going to say, and I think about it much more clearly than you do."

Futaba interrupted Frank impatiently, then stared directly into the latter's gentle and peaceful black eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I just want to ask you one thing, that is, no matter what plan you have, You can’t change the fact that your strength is about the same as that of a bastard fish, so…what if you are killed after I leave?”

Frank shook his head and said briskly: "I think this possibility is very low. Although those people are assassins, they don't seem to have that kind of heartache..."

"Don't talk to me about those things that are there or not."

Futaba slapped Frank on the shoulder and said angrily: "I mean what if! What if you die?!"

"What if I die..."

Frank sighed softly, then suddenly grinned, and winked at Futaba mischievously: "Isn't that good?"

The girl was confused at the time, and she subconsciously said "Hey" before falling into a petrified state.

"As Diana's apprentice, as a genius among mages, as the youngest official member ever of the Miracle City delegation, as...sorry, as my friend."

Frank showed an apologetic smile to Futaba, and his eyes behind the lenses looked a little complicated: "Futaba, do you really think that I, Frank Hughes, and Diana A. Azizolti are a good match?" Lover?"

Futaba reacted immediately, widened his eyes and said, "You..."

"As long as I live, I can't help but love Diana, and people are selfish. I am also unwilling to let go. Including Brother Kenneth, no matter how many people don't think well of me and think I have ulterior motives or are simply in love. Even if Diana is holding him back, I will not give up on him when Diana still loves me, and I also promised her that I would never let him go first."

Frank smiled bitterly, and a rare haze flashed in his eyes: "To be honest, no matter how peaceful he behaves, I still occasionally think about what would happen if those people who were comparable to Diana in terms of identity, status, or strength would follow. What would happen if Diana were together...the conclusion is ridiculous."

Futaba snorted and asked: "What kind of ridiculous method? Is it particularly hypocritical to bless her?"

"No, on the contrary, if I had that ability, I would probably want to destroy the world."

Frank laughed, and the corner of his mouth raised an uninhibited arc, but it soon turned into a self-deprecating smile: "It's a pity that I don't have that ability, so I will probably bless her hypocritically like you said, and then live in this world for the rest of my life. In pain.”

Futaba twitched the corner of his mouth, but rarely complained.

"But the premise of all this is 'I am still alive'."

Frank patted Futaba's shoulders twice and made a face at her: "So although I don't really want to die, I don't resist it to an unacceptable level. In fact... death may indeed make me relaxed. Quite a few, you’ve told me many times before, haven’t you, that if you don’t belong to the right family or something, if it wasn’t in the bard story, it would be difficult to have a good result.”

Futaba nodded and said, "Well, that makes sense."

"I knew you would understand."

Frank suddenly laughed happily and said briskly: "If that's the case, then..."

"Do you know why I hear so much nonsense from you?"

Futaba lazily stretched his body, interrupted Frank, and raised his chin after interrupting Frank's retreat from the group of attackers not far away who were showing off their glory, but there was no sign of any reduction in numbers: "Just to kill some time while waiting for them. It’s just time.”

Frank's eyes widened immediately, and when he was about to say something, he was interrupted by the girl who had already walked in front of him——

"Listen up, Mr. Frank Hughes."

With her back to the noisy man, Futaba raised her little hand to make the stupid hair on her head appear taller, and then released the [Enforcer] in her hand, letting it float steadily in mid-air, and chuckled: "Although I don't intend to completely deny the nonsense you just said, I still want to emphasize that I am far from serious, and my preparations are not as good as that bitch."

The [Law Enforcer] floating in mid-air suddenly split into two, showing two different colors of red and blue.

"And the most important thing about the title of 'genius beautiful girl' is never that of a beautiful girl."

The [Law Enforcer], which had two different attributes of ice and fire, twisted again, and then split into four. The two extra handles were filled with dark gold and deep purple.

From an angle that Frank couldn't see, the corners of the girl's mouth were slightly raised——

"Put away those 'treasures' that Diana left for you. Today's Frank Hughes will be covered by this girl."
