SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE

Chapter 40 Dragon Guards, White Tiger Guards

Feiyu is walking on a busy street. He is wearing a loose white robe. His long hair looks more neat. It is held by a pin. Widowed and married women keep winking at him. Single women look at him with a blush. Feiyu did not notice them. His mind is elsewhere. After a while, he arrived at his destination. Feiyu looks at the house in front of him, then smiles. He misses his home when he was on the sea. His face is always full of smiles and fondness when he remembers a child's smile.

Inside Suzy's Ice Cream Shop, Aira is eating ice cream sneakily. She almost ate a big bowl of ice cream. She ate another spoonful of ice cream and closed her eyes. Her expression is full of enjoyment. She giggles, then takes another spoon.

"Aiiraaaa!" A woman's loud shout stopped Aira from taking another spoon of ice cream. They are in the kitchen. Aira is hiding behind a table and seats. The woman approached where Aira was hiding. The woman has long white hair and blue eyes. Her dress can't hide her beautiful body. She is a very beautiful lady.

Aira stood up, but her head is down, and she did not let go of the bowl of ice cream.

"I ate too much. I will not be forgiven easily. Then it's time to use my ultimate weapon!" thought Aira. She raised her head and looks at her sister with puppy eyes—cute, big, pure teary eyes.

"S-Sister, I'm sowwy."

Suzy gasps while looking into Aira's puppy eyes. Her hand covers her mouth, and her heart melts and softens.

There is a sudden laughter of a man.

"Hahaha, Suzy, let her be. She worked hard during the last mission. She deserves a little reward." Feiyu couldn't bear to endure his laughter when he saw the funny scene of the sisters.

"Feiyu!" Suzy rushed to Feiyu and embraced him. Feiyu caressed Suzy's head, and they stare at each other.

"KYAAAA! How dare you do it in front of a little girl?! You have no shame!" said Aira while covering her eyes with her fingers.

"Pffft, hahaha, whose the little girl? You are already 17 years old!" said Suzy while laughing. Feiyu is smiling. Aira brings laughter to the family.

A man with dark brown skin and a beard approaches the trio while laughing. He is wearing cream long sleeves, light brown pants, and brown shoes.

"Hahahaha, no one will marry you if you remain a little girl. I married my wife when she was 17 years old!" said Dan when he approached the trio with a small glass bowl in his hand.

"KYAAA! The freeloader is here!" said Aira as she points her finger at Dan.

Dan blushes when he heard what Aira said, but for the sake of her daughter's ice cream, he has to make his skin thick. The study of her daughter improves with ice cream. The future of her daughter is at stake!

The ice cream from Suzy is always sold out quickly. Children are always lining up in front of Suzy's store. Suzy loves children, so she works hard to make more ice cream. The more Aira ate ice cream, the more children could not buy ice cream, so she was angry. When Feiyu saw Dan lining up, he told him to come in, and he has always given him free ice cream since that time.

Suzy has ice magic, but her talent is not good. She can only make snow on a small scale. The offense and defense are too low. When Edgar knew, he remembered ice cream and taught her how to do it. Refrigeration has not been invented yet, so making ice is still difficult. Every ice magician in the kingdom is a precious asset. There are very few of them, and they cannot be used for ice cream making.

"Where's Ashley?" asked Feiyu.

"She's on the crib. She was sleeping earlier," answered Suzy with a smile and a gentle tone.

Feiyu went up to the house and looks at Ashley, who is already awake. She has black pupils and black hair, like Feiyu. Ashley smiles at Feiyu. Feiyu's heart melts when his daughter smiles. He took her daughter from the crib and gently cuddled her. He married Suzy two years ago. He met her because of Aira.

When Edgar was forming his hidden army, he got the news that a very talented ice and water magician is a mercenary in the kingdom. He sent someone to recruit her. She agreed on the condition that they must find her sister first, who was taken by sea bandits. The mercenary is Aira, who helped escort Roy to the Ru and Fran kingdoms.

Aira came from a kingdom on the eastern continent. The kingdom is a neighbor of the Alya empire. Their village is near the coastline. When she went to the city, their village was raided by pirates, and her sister was taken away. She asked for help from his father's friends when he was alive, and she got the news that the captured demihumans were sold on the central continent.

She was at a loss when she arrived in the wharf of the Fran kingdom. She had no money or connection, and no one was willing to help her. Vyron saw her when he received a mission in Fran and asked her if she needed help because she looked so pitiful. She stated her reason, and Vyron let her join his team until she found her sister.

Edgar mobilized his intelligence unit to find Aira's sister. They found her in a hidden underground cell within the territory of Duke Wesly. Edgar sent Feiyu because it is near the sea.

Feiyu's team successfully infiltrated the cell. He saw a dying Suzy who was full of wounds. Some of her skin turned purple, and she had only some parts of her clothes left. Feiyu held her and tried to wake her up to feed her with potion. When she opened her eyes, he did not see disgust or hatred for humans in her eyes. Her eyes started tearing up and she said, "P-Please, s-save them first. T-they're just children." Her tears poured down. She was biting her lip. Her heart feels painful for the human children. They are too young to experience the pain they had. Feiyu was touched when he heard her. The woman has a kind soul. She is a demihuman, yet she still cares for humans after suffering so much. She has a strong heart of kindness.

After Suzy was rescued, Edgar arranged a place for them to stay. Feiyu and Suzy got closer. They dated secretly because Aira was guarding her sister from Feiyu. She thinks Feiyu was a man with ulterior motives, but she eventually accepted him as she became familiar with his character when they trained together as members of the Blue Dragon Guards. When Feiyu decided to marry Suzy, his family disagreed. Although their noble household is not strong, they are still nobles. Feiyu insisted on his marriage, and his family was forced to agree. Feiyu is the next head of household, the most talented aura master and magician their family ever had!

When Suzy was saved, Aira followed her promise to join one of the hidden armies, the Blue Dragon Guard. The effort made by Edgar to recruit her was not wasted. With the support of a rich kingdom, Aira quickly became stronger. Her talent is terrifying. Edgar even thinks that she is somehow connected with the most powerful magician in the world, the Queen of the Alya Empire. They have the same terrifying talent. He asked Aira if she has another family, but she said no. Her father was killed while protecting a ship from sea bandits. Her father said their mother died when she was born. They don't have other relatives.

Blue Dragon Guard is one of the special force teams cultivated by Edgar. The captain of the team is Feiyu. The secret army being cultivated by Baynard consists of a regular army and a special force. The regular army does not need its members to reach the first level of aura. They are led by adjutants of Marshal Frey. The special forces require each member to reach at least the first level of aura, except the Blue Dragon Guards. The other special force teams are the combat team for land battles. The special forces are a quick, sharp knife that will go straight to the enemy's heart and won't give the enemy enough reaction time. They are especially cultivated by Edgar for the big chess move that he is going to do.

The other special forces teams are the Red Dragon Guards and the White Tiger Guards. Red Dragon is led by Marco. The Tigers are led by Dan. Each team has 500 members. The total number of special forces is 1500. All Tigers and Red Dragons must be aura users to make their actions quick and powerful.

Aside from Aira, there is another prodigy that has joined the special force. Her name is Lily, and she is a prodigy in archery. She was a member of Vyron's mercenaries. Vyron's mercenary team took the initiative to join the army. Edgar assigned them to the special force. Lily has a high level of aura, but her magic is low because she does not have enough money to cultivate both aura and magic. Edgar gave her so many resources, like Aira. The results of the kingdom's investment in two prodigies are satisfying. Edgar was smiling from ear to ear.

Part of the training form for Blue Dragons is participating in sea bandit raids. For Red Dragons and White Tigers, part of their training is accepting missions from the Dragon Hall established by Edgar. Branches of Dragon Hall are established in three kingdoms. Baynard's penetration of the Maginev empire is difficult. Edgar's spy in the empire is small. Building a dragon hall in the empire is difficult and dangerous, so he did not build a branch there.

Dragon Hall is a secret organization that recently became popular among common folks. The missions are killing or rescuing. Killing will only be accepted if the target is really wicked and not a member of the nobles. Edgar does not want to stimulate the nerves of the nobles of the two kingdoms yet to avoid affecting his plan. If a noble in Baynard is really wicked, the intelligence department will immediately know it. That noble will be immediately escorted to trial. Although the noble can't be killed in two kingdoms, rescue can be commissioned if they want to save someone from the noble's hand.

There are folks who look so hard for Dragon Hall when they hear that they can help save their family. A howling grandfather gave all his savings, even the deed of his house, just to save his only family, his granddaughter. A man with red armor, a red mask, and a yellow cape accepted the commission and only took one copper coin. The next day, the old man's granddaughter came back, and they both cried loudly. They ran away from Ru kingdom and went to Baynard because they were afraid of the revenge of bandits, but they didn't know the bandit den was raged to the ground by the red armor man single-handedly.

There are many hall members who accepted small amounts of commissions from desperate folks. Dragon Hall members became popular, but the most popular are the red armor man and the white armor man. Red armor man is called Red Dragon by common folks, while white armor man is called White Dragon, but white armor man secretly spread that he wanted to be called White Tiger, so common folks changed the name and called him White Tiger. The white armor man was satisfied and worked harder to help common folks.
