Chapter 14 Transactions
"Catch her!!"
Instructing the two dark snakes that were staying on the roof to chase the escaped prey, Moya immediately cast an acceleration spell on himself.
No matter what, I can't let this little girl go.
Even if she doesn't know what inside story, as long as she is Batuya's daughter, she is destined to not be able to continue living.
Chasing...
The sound of the basal monster's abdomen rubbing against the ground urged Masha's feet to run continuously.
The weapon was lost and the right hand was injured. It was impossible to deal with the enemy who killed his brother.
The only way now is to escape!
"It's not that easy to escape."
The speed-up magic allowed Moya to catch up with Masha quickly, and one wind blade after another kept firing out from behind.
After Masha took two wind blades, she finally left the winding and narrow alley.
After dark, there were few pedestrians on the street.
In a panic, she did not find the original way. After she got out of the alley, she realized that she had come to the area where the nobles lived.
He found the most grand house nearby. Masha gritted his teeth and overturned the wall and fled into the courtyard of this noble family.
Inadvertently, Masha was stirred by the steps under her feet and fell to the ground.
Moya, who followed him, did not miss this opportunity. Two wind blades completely cut off her tendons.
The girl's painful whine not only attracted the attention of nearby residents, but also alarmed the guards in the mansion.
"No...don't come here..."
Hearing the sound of footsteps coming from behind, Masha supported her upper body with her arms in despair and crawled forward with difficulty.
Although she knew that there was zero chance of escaping after her legs were injured, she still didn't want to give up any hope.
Stepping on Masha's wound, Moya pulled her dagger from her arm.
Looking around, no one was found.
Very well, it was the courtyard and I had enough time to kill her before the guard arrived.
"Okay, the escape ends here."
"My father has a grudge with you, that is the grudge of your previous generation. Why should you take revenge on the next generation?" The desperate Masha planned to make a last try, hoping to win the sympathy of the female mage.
"I'm not in the mood to answer the same question a second time."
The red afterimage from the raised dagger passed through Moya's expressionless face, stabbing the enemy with the firm determination of his master.
"No!!!!"
Feeling the "whirring" sound of the dagger passing through the air, Masha subconsciously closed her eyes.
"stop!!"
A low shout and a flying arrow shot bloodthirsty. Its blade tilted and pierced into the floor with stone bricks next to Masha's neck. Although she did not take her life, the sharp blade slightly cut the skin on the surface of her neck.
"Who are you? How dare you make trouble here?!"
He raised his head and Moya looked at the person who blocked her good deeds.
One, two, three, four... not much or less, exactly ten.
Ten knights in silver armor stood at the entrance of the courtyard, one of whom was holding a crossbow in his hand, and the newly-applied arrow was aimed at Moya.
"It has nothing to do with you, get out of here."
"Rareless!! This is the lord's residence, so how can you let you kill someone for no reason?"
One of the knights drew out his sword and planned to capture the murderer who dared to publicly kill people on the streets of the city.
Unexpectedly, two huge snake monsters suddenly strung out from the corner. With a swing of the snake's tail, they knocked off the knight's long sword, opened a huge mouth, and swallowed him into his stomach.
"Monster, monster!!"
Seeing that his companion was eaten by a monster that suddenly appeared, several other knights hurriedly pulled out their weapons.
"It's indeed the Dark Mage..."
"Your Highness, what should I do "Kill her?"
"No, I want to capture it alive. Only in this way can I understand the deployment outside the city." The young man holding a crossbow issued an order.
When Moya heard the honorary title of the Silver Armor Knight, he looked at the young man holding the bow.
A person with an average appearance and a normal dress is actually a lord of a town and a prince of a country.
"Sling...Sixth Prince?"
"Be careful, your highness, the Dark Mage knows your identity!!"
Ignoring the stupid knight who exposed his master's identity, Moya looked at Masha lying on the ground, then at Prince Heisen with a look of alertness. A bold idea suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Don't worry, I just want to give the Sixth Prince a very important gift. Your brother... His Highness Valesi. Although the method of entering the door is a bit unsuitable, my original intention is good."
"You, what did you say?" The young man holding the crossbow hesitated to put down the weapon in his hand.
He is the lord of Rock Town. Because of his low biological mother's status, Slin, the sixth prince of Heisen, who was excluded by several brothers.
Hearing that she met the lord of the town, the fire of Yuwang, who had survived, burned again. She raised her only intact left arm and asked Prince Slin and his group for help.
"It is obvious that the Sixth Prince didn't understand what I mean. Valesi was in my hands. I know you were very eager to see this cute brother. So you planned to visit me in person, but on the way here... I encountered a little trouble." Moya answered without changing his expression on the wound on Masha's feet.
Taking it for granted, her actions and the girl's miserable howling undoubtedly made several knights urge to step forward to stop them, but because of the obstacles of their master, they had to give up their already inflated knight spirit.
"Valesi... Then you are that..."
After hearing the female mage introduce herself, Slin remembered the news he had just received from the City Guard Captain.
A black magician in Saji caravan defeated the dark mage. Although not all, his strength is definitely not inferior to the great mage of Claudi, the magic union in the city.
However, Slin had great doubts about the credibility of the female mage's words.
"I believe you have heard from the guards that today's incident about Saji caravan, I am the black-robed mage mentioned to you by the captain of the guard." Seeing Slin's face showing a surprised expression, Moya explained to him. "Why do I know? The two trackers he sent were so bad that they could not hide my perception at all."
A clear whistle blew, and a black birch with a man's arms fell from the sky. The person who was still on the ground was nothing but someone else, but Valesi, the seventh prince who had not appeared since the caravan entered the city.
"Well, what are your conditions?"
Seeing Valesi, Slin finally believed that the female mage had some skills and could capture his timid brother from the dark mage and the mercenary. But in order to get the female mage out of the female mage, he could only ignore it as much as possible. She once again trampled on the wound of the poor girl in a pool of blood.
"The condition? Of course it's a mine. The only thing that interests me in Rock Town is the Magic Gold Mine."
As soon as Moya's conditions were proposed, Slin strongly opposed it.
"No, I don't agree. If your only condition is this, then I'd better advise you to give up, ma'am."
"Prince Slin, it's not good to treat your new allies like this. The agreement was not agreed to provide you with 20% of the magic gold every year. I just want to increase it to 40% now."
"you!!"
Slin suddenly widened his eyes, feeling extremely surprised that the female mage actually knew his secret; "Are you..."
"I am the ruler of your Union City. The only one who signed the agreement with you is my temporary agent. He is responsible for taking care of all the government affairs during my outing. I believe Bilfit has mentioned this to you."
[I am only temporarily acting on the government affairs of Merri City, and the actual supreme commander on earth is the high priest.]
A clip of the signing of the agreement suddenly flashed in his mind. Of course, Slin still remembered this sentence, and it can even be described as fresh in memory.
In this way, the identity of the female mage is about to emerge.
"Moya...High Priest..."
"Shh... Your Highness, don't call out my name at will. This will cause me a lot of trouble."
"It's you!! It's you!!" Hearing Prince Heisen telling the true identity of the female mage, Masha finally found the reason for her to kill Ian.
"It's just an eavesdropping on a short conversation. You're just for this reason... Woo..." Moya stepped on the wound that left endlessly in Masha's blood again, successfully preventing her from questioning.
"Your Highness, how about we make another deal? I will help you fight back the Dark Mages and Mercenaries in the besieged city, and promise to provide Rock Town with a certain number of private mercenaries. In exchange, I just want to exchange for more than 20% of your annual magic gold production. This is actually very cost-effective, I don't know what you think?"
After offering a condition that the other party could not refuse, Moya knew that even if Prince Slin couldn't bear to give up the high profits of the Magic Gold Mine, he would still grit his teeth and agree to her request.
"Okay...I promise you."
In order to retreat from the Dark Mage who had been besieged for more than ten days, Slin had to agree to the request of the Dark Night High Priest, and he had no choice.
Just relying on the words of a great mage of Claudi, it is absolutely impossible to resist the increasingly fierce magic attacks of the dark mage.
"Happy cooperation, I will give you the Prince. Valesi Palace. You can do whatever you like. But I have to remind you that this little girl cannot let go. She listened to our conversation without missing a word. If I was promoted... I don't need to tell you the consequences, you should understand." Knowing that the little girl's pitiful appearance will make these knights who claim to be the messengers of justice feel unbearable, and maybe they will spare her life. Moya played her last killer;
"His father is the famous great wizard Batuya Lop Kewell, the dean of the Fanue Magic Academy. If you spare her easily, I think it will be your turn to worry about your life after this little girl escapes. After all, we have different identities, and I have the support of my clan members. And you, Your Highness, isn't your country in civil unrest for the inheritance of the throne? Once the great wizard surrenders to your brothers... King Heisen's throne will never be with you for the rest of your life."
After finding a silver medal representing the Northern Magic Union on Masha, Slin aimed the crossbow in his hand at Masha in a scream of his knight.
"Please, Your Highness, please don't kill me..."
"sorry……"
Blood splattered on the green grass with the apology of the sixth prince, and Batuya's daughter did not escape the same fate as her brother.
Ian missed his last chance to escape because he didn't bring a flash bullet.
