Chapter 57: Empires Turmoil Arc 3 Encountering the Duke

The pillar of flame shot into the sky for over 20 seconds before disappearing. And during that time we managed to spot the kidnappers caravan.

To be precise, it should be a private mercenary caravan or perhaps using the mercenary groups name to commit crimes, because the moment we stopped we saw the mercenarys flag burning.

To be precise, not just the flag, but the whole fleet was burning. At the same time a series of curses were coming from inside the fleet.

I told you to keep an eye on the fire magician! What were you doing!

I confiscated her wand! But I dont understand why she can still use magic

Fool! There is something called a magic crest now! What use is merely confiscating a wand!

Noisy It seems that Blue Moons business has been really good

I laughed bitterly, and then did a sweep over the situation.

There is a wagon that isnt burning with four green names inside. It looks like it should be the kidnapped people.

7 people with yellow names were rushing to extinguish the fire on the burning wagon. But I think its no use because the horses used to drive the carriage have disappeared. They should have been scared off.

Oh, Fir, Aliyah and an unknown elf. Long time no see.

Like a monster, at some point Falan passed by the side of the forest. Coming in through a tree in the back.

This is scary, ok? You can see Aliyah almost drew her sword, not to mention that Julian has already pulled on his bow.

Seriously, scaring people like that. Your signal was a bit intense, I dont think you needed to be caught.

Why dont you sit in a free carriage?

Sure enough, Falans way of thinking diverged greatly from the norm. I looked at her with admiration.

Whats to be done now? Are we going to go save people?

That depends on what Fir does~

Falan said, smiling.

Thats a very famous person in the Witt Empire after all. If they were saved there would certainly be benefits.

You know me too well, Falan.

You flatter me~

How long do you two plan on continuing spouting garbage?

Aliyahs finally said, unable to endure it.

If we dont hurry up then the other carriage will be slightly burned.

Ok ok~ Julian, you stay in the bushes. If you see anyone fleeing, shoot his foot. Dont let him escape. But dont kill him, understand? We are very civilized people.

Yes!

Julian nodded, then jumped onto a tree branch.

That jump was awesome, so envious.

I can fly though.

Then here is what we will do. Aliyah, I think you prefer beating up people? I will leave the mercenaries to you.

Understood~

Aliyah quickly agreed and rushed out in a red light.

Then Falan, youll

Im very lazy~ Dont give me anything to do.

Well, you can spectate. Im going in~

In a split second, I changed into a nobles magic robe from a store and then accelerated into the burning fleet.

But when I arrived, Aliyah had already beaten all of the mercenaries into the ground. They were lying on the ground while moaning painfully.

In that case, in although I had borrowed them but they now belonged to me, as to avoid dirtying my clothes.

Frozen Restriction!

A simple ice spell covered the burning carriage, soon the flames were extinguished.

Even though it isnt as direct as water magic, but it cant reach the ignition point for natural flames to continue burning because the magic that originally ignited the flames had ended.

I finally walked to the carriage, took out my staff and gracefully froze the lock and lightly struck the lock to shatter it.

The carriages door slowly opened. In front of me was a young noble in gorgeous clothing with a elderly noble couple.

Although the clothing of the older couple was not as gorgeous as the younger noble, their status was clearly much higher.

I am honored to meet you. I think this is the first time weve met your excellency Duke Mudorans Fid Marshall.

Right, when I saw their titles a moment ago I realized how wonderful it would be to have these four people.

The Marshall House. One of the Witts Empires four largest houses and the one in control of the Witts Empires magical research.

Even more funny is that right now it took 20 to 30 mercenaries to kidnap them. Two of them were water magicians. They are going to leave without them knowing how humiliating it was.

But this was understandable. After all, looking at the two water magicians, it seems that before they had played the role of guarding the Marshall Family.

Your efforts failed~

Youyou are?

Duke Marshall asked with a bit of baseless panic.

Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Lin Fir, a national magician of the Ice Empire. I was just traveling through.

Ohoh, is that so.

He looked outside and his expression slightly recovered.

Thank you for saving us. These bandits were too much, they secretly assassinated our guards and kidnapped us. If you hadnt passed by we would have been worrying for our lives. By the way, there was another who was caught, a lady magician, you

Thats my companion.

I laughed and turned around just to see Falan coming in.

She was already rescued. And this is Aliyah, my partner.

I introduced them to Aliyah, who had beaten the kidnappers.

Oh.

But it seems they had nothing to say about Aliyah. I realized why after some thought.

Aliyah is still dressed like a mercenary. I think thats why the old man wasnt showing any interest.

Seriously. Thats why these nobles cant speak properly. Thankfully I was the first to come over. Would we be despised otherwise?

Perhaps then it would have turned into us kidnapping them. I always want to educate such shortsighted people.

However, seeing that our comrade Aliyah had started to happily rummage through the kidnappers goods, I decided to forget it.

Lord Duke, what are you going to do next?

Although I asked, I saw the guards responsible for patrolling were rushing at us. Although I didnt know which country they were, that wasnt the problem allright?

What I meant is, could we borrow a carriage or something.
