Chapter 145: Brena's Professional Mechanical Expert!

The Third Princess of the Frost Kingdom, and an unknown Fourth Order Master Swordsman.

Honestly, when she decided to reveal a little information to fish for clues and see which factions were investigating her, Natavia truly had not expected this.

That she would actually manage to fish out that very famous Princess.

As for that unknown Fourth Order Master Swordsman, they were equally troublesome.

If she didn't have a deity backing her, she might have already started planning her escape.

Besides that, "Hmph." Casting a cold glance at Yun Mu, Natavia felt not a shred of surprise in her heart.

After all, no one could possibly get along with someone who had once killed them, let alone the fact that she had attempted to kill the other party more than once.

She had originally intended to use Word Spirit to control Yun Mu, and at the same time, as a safeguard, she had made her drink a specially prepared Scarlet Drink.

As it turned out, she only discovered afterward that for some reason, the Word Spirit had failed!

And the Scarlet Drink, brewed from her own essence blood, should logically have allowed her to control the drinker.

Yet it had no effect either!

Damn it, when she found out about this, Natavia was so angry her nose was almost crooked.

And what made her even more impotently furious was when she tried to locate Yun Mu again.

She discovered that her presence was masked by some item, and she couldn't find her at all!

Relying on clumsy search methods, she only knew that Yun Mu lived on Liuli Street and went to the Painter Association in Frostfall City every day.

But... without even getting close to the café, Natavia could perceive the strength of the shopkeeper inside, and the same went for the Painter Association.

As for lying in wait while Yun Mu went to the Painter Association... she had tried, but eventually gave up.

Because the Painter Association was not far from Liuli Street; if she caused a major disturbance,

it would attract two Fourth Order Master Transcendentalists at once.

If things really developed into that situation, even she would find it hard to escape.

So even if she was angry, she could only swallow this bitter pill.

The only thing that brought her comfort was perhaps the fact that Yun Mu was wanted by the Church.

When she saw the newspaper report stating that the true culprit of the Dried Corpse Murder Case was Yun Mu, Natavia admitted that for a moment, she smiled so wide she could barely close her mouth.

But that was only a fleeting joy; the foolproof method was still to eliminate her on the spot!

No, she couldn't kill her.

Looking at Yun Mu's face, Natavia suddenly had a strange thought.

She didn't know this was because her Word Spirit had been rebounded by Yun Mu and she had been implanted with a suggestion that subconsciously increased her favor toward Yun Mu. (Chapter 48) She just thought of another excuse and successfully convinced herself.

Having the gaze of the Lady of Night was already troublesome enough; if she attracted the attention of another deity, making the Scarlet Drink—which was already unable to exert its full power—fight a two-on-one battle, it just didn't seem right.

Better to capture her, imprison her by her side, and listen to her painful pleas... Thinking of this, a trace of excitement rose in Natavia's heart for some reason.

She quickly raised her right hand and ordered: "Continue the attack!"

"Roar!"

Natavia's words were laced with the power of Word Spirit, causing the remaining Bloodline Living Corpses and Blood-thirsty Ones to lose their already feeble sanity.

They roared and bellowed, charging rapidly toward Yun Mu and the others.

Yet this was not enough; Natavia spoke again: "Ignite your potential, release your wild nature!"

"Roar!!"

Under the control of the Word Spirit, as if in a Berserk state, the bodies of all the Bloodline Living Corpses and Blood-thirsty Ones swelled violently.

Both their speed and strength were significantly greater than before.

"Such overbearing Word Spirit control," Lucy remarked upon seeing this: "To be able to stimulate the blood energy within a biological body just by speaking."

"But this kind of enhancement is too crude; not only does it waste potential, but after it ends, these low-level Bloodline creatures will likely find it hard to exert their original combat capabilities."

"When is this, and you're still giving a critique!" Standing beside her, Yun Mu heard her say this and retorted. Perhaps due to professional habit, Lucy always analyzed and recorded things she discovered like a Scholar.

Even if she didn't record them, she maintained the habit of analysis.

It wasn't that she thought this habit was bad, but she had just been affected by Natavia's Fourth Order Master aura and was inevitably a bit nervous.

So she made a snide remark to boost morale.

And after she said this, she indeed felt much better.

The only price was that Lucy was currently looking at her with a slightly resentful gaze, which made her feel a bit embarrassed.

Fortunately, at this moment, Brenna spoke up: "Get ready to face the enemy!"

Successfully diverting everyone's attention.

Yun Mu also quietly breathed a sigh of relief because of this.

"I'll leave the path-clearing to you, Mr. Edward!" Brenna said, turning to look at Edward.

"Leave it to me!" Edward said with a rare, serious expression, though soon after, he chuckled and feigned relaxation: "If you can't handle it, remember to call me."

"Don't worry about me." Brenna placed her left hand on her chest and replied confidently: "I am the Third Princess of the Frost Kingdom, Brena Saierliya!"

"A mere lackey of an Outer God cannot hurt me!"

She made no effort to hide her words, and Natavia, standing opposite, could naturally hear them too.

"Don't speak too soon, or you might bite your tongue." Watching Brenna walk slowly toward her, Natavia said coldly.

"I advise you to swap places with that Swordsman," she said with a feigned look of contempt.

"Are you so confident because of the power you begged from your master?" Brenna retorted without any courtesy.

"It's useless," Natavia shook her head and said: "You cannot provoke me."

【Blood Manipulation Technique!】

Without any warning, Natavia suddenly raised her hand, and a large number of blood-red threads shot out from her five fingers, firing toward Brenna!

Yet the next second, a thick metal fortress appeared in front of Brenna, blocking the attack for her.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Three sounds of heavy objects hitting the ground rang out in succession, and three Steam Mecha with surfaces reflecting a metallic luster appeared out of thin air on the street.

"The smart devices of Bionic Dolls aren't just for imitating human speech!" Brenna said, displaying an expression more arrogant than at any other time.

"Mecha Pilots who originally required a large amount of time to train can be replaced by just a single Smart Chip here with me!"

While she was speaking, another three Steam Mecha landed, firmly surrounding Natavia.

"Of course, I am very rich; this is also a part of my ability."

Sitting inside one of the Steam Mecha, Brenna fiddled with the various Storage items on her person and said.

PS: Brenna's profession is in the Mechanic series.

Although I have complained that I do not recognize any Mechanic who cannot perform blue-blood conversion or tear apart mecha with their bare hands.

However, the name Mechanic is indeed very suitable for Brenna's profession series name.

The following are the advancement paths for this profession, as well as some branches.

First-tier Apprentice: Apprentice Mechanic

Second-tier Elite: Mechanic; Third-rank Expert: Expert Mechanic, Mecha Pilot

Fourth Rank Master: Master Mechanic, Royal Mechanic, Ace Pilot
