Yes, in the more than 20 years since Hongjie Ark was established, Ilia has really never heard about land disputes.

but……

[Bang——Boom————]

As soon as Xingke and the group left the island in the middle of the lake where the Rainbow Bridge was located and walked onto the bridge leading to the lake, there was a loud noise like an earthquake shaking a mountain in the distance.

A high-rise building by the lake was shot through a round hole by an unknown object at that moment, raising countless reinforced concrete fragments.

The unknown object continued to be thrown to the surface of the lake without any remaining strength, and then fell into the lake, splashing water more than two meters high.

"[Mountain-Shattering Strike]!—Destroy it! You damn land middleman!—"

With such a roar that echoed through the sky, everyone could understand that this was a fight over a land dispute, and it had escalated to the point of physical conflict.

The unknown object that was knocked down into the water was obviously not a weakling - the splashing water stopped at the moment it was about to fall back into the lake. It violated the laws of physics and began to gather together, turning into a water snake, killing an unharmed person.

The humanoid figure was lifted up.

It's the unidentified object that fell into the water just now.

"Hehehe, silly big guy, didn't we agree at the beginning, you..."

"Ah! - Shut up! [Crushing Blow]! -"

Before the unidentified drowned object could finish a sentence, a big man who was obviously twice his size moved in front of him at a super flash speed and smashed the water snake's head with one punch.

And the human-shaped unidentified drowned object was once again driven straight into the lake...

————

"Hmm?!~Is someone causing trouble!~"

Xingji looked at the place not far ahead where the unknown object fell into the water again, and while setting up a waterproof barrier, he said with shining eyes.

"Why do you look so surprised when someone makes trouble?" Ilia closed her eyes helplessly, as if she could predict what was going to happen next.

Sure enough, Xingke's expression instantly became very serious, and he said to Ilia:

"Ilia, I think that for the sake of love and peace in the community, at this time, as a righteous magician, I should step in, no, step on this..."

"Okay, I understand. Leave these two newcomers to me, President." Illya was not surprised at all.

"Well, I'll leave it to you, Vice President." Xingke nodded with a serious expression.

But the moment he turned his back to Illya, his face turned into a smile full of shame...

Looking at the back of Xingke walking happily, before taking two steps, it turned into a ray of light and flashed to the place where the unknown object fell into the water, Illya sighed feebly.

She understood that this time the story that started with herself and centered on herself had ended the moment she returned to the courtyard of death, and at Xingji...he had always been free.

However, when she raised her head again, Illya had cheered up again and smiled to tell Irisviel not to worry about what was going on at Star Moment, indicating that everything was normal.

There is still a long road ahead. No matter what we face, a normal mind is the most important thing...

"Hey! Mr. UFO, are you okay?"

When Xingji reached the landing point, a slender man wearing a fancy hooded windbreaker was struggling to get up and get out of the lake.

The protective film formed by magic power was all over his body, and he didn't seem to be seriously injured, just a little embarrassed.

So, Xingji floated above the lake and shouted to his feet to confirm: "Do you need any help?"

"Oh?! Brother Magician!~" The slender man was very surprised when he saw Xing Mo, and smiled: "Are you today's [security mission]? You came just in time!~"

"No, I'm just a passerby..."

"In the way! Get out of the way!"

Just when Xingke was about to answer honestly, a big man with piled muscles suddenly rushed behind him and swept past Xingke as if he were an obstacle:

"[Crushing Strike]!——"

However, this time, the crushing blow that had never disappointed the muscular man was ineffective.

His very proud strength seemed to be lost in a certain position, and his entire arm was also fixed in mid-air, unable to move.

"you!--"

The muscular man looked at Xingke angrily, his eyes widened. Although he was not the conventional bald figure, and his brown-red hair was very lush and tied into long braids, his face was also very fierce.

"Well, what's that? This grumpy old man, please calm down first. I am not in the same group as Shuishui."

With a smile on his face, Xingke bound the big man's whole body with an inertial offset barrier, and at the same time drew out the magic power in the atmosphere around him, and persuaded him calmly.

Then he turned around and activated [Permission], causing the "unidentified drowning object" man above the water who was preparing to escape through water escape to lose the ability to use magic in the death courtyard, and said:

"Mr. UFO, you too. Wouldn't it be nice if we all sit down and have a chat about something? We have to have some kind of physical conflict. It's so uncivilized."

The slender man suddenly found that he could no longer use his abilities, and even the spells floating on the water had been taken away from him.

He still doesn't understand why he has met an "expert".

Within the Hongjie Ark organization, although there is no standardized hierarchy, and the boundaries of power are very ambiguous, the gap in strength between each [generation] is not absolute.

In addition, there are many strange abilities in each world. Apart from transcendent existences like the [Original Nine], there is no suitable standard for who is strong and who is weak.

But the slender man has been here for a long time, and he can still judge very clearly when facing his own [absolutely irresistible power].

"Well, okay, I will definitely cooperate with your security mission, Brother Magician. By the way, please call me [Black Ten]... Of course it's not my real name, haha."

The slender man seemed to be confident and said with a smile.

"Well, what about you, big guy?" Xingke nodded and asked instead.

"Hey -" The big man looked like he was gnashing his teeth at first, and then said with a sneer: "Hey, Magician, I [Fire Insect] am unlucky to meet you today, but reconciliation?

Ha, impossible."

"Huh? In other words, it's okay to sit down and have a good talk?" Xingke said with a wise smile.

"..."

"I'll take this as your acquiescence." Xingke said, letting go of the restraints on the big man, and then said to the two people who were obviously in conflict:

"Then, let's find a place. Do you have any recommendations..."

At this moment, a somewhat impressive voice sounded from the side, accompanied by the sound of footsteps treading water:
Chapter completed!
