"So what? I'm not a mage."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Er became agitated and immediately began to hurl profanities:

"Bullshit! Do you really think I don't know you're a second-tier mage?"

Upon hearing this, Lia suddenly narrowed her eyes.

She secretly activated the mage's hand, but it had no effect.

“I must admit your methods are good; you are more suitable than Victor to be the lord of the Claver territory.”

"However, you'll have to stay here today."

As he spoke, ripples appeared on the barrier, and several warriors carrying weapons emerged out of thin air.

"Within the barrier where magic cannot be used, warriors who fight with their vital energy are undoubtedly your most difficult opponents to withstand."

Chur laughed maniacally, and he too drew his weapon, ready to kill everyone inside the barrier.

Lia yawned, looking somewhat bored.

That's it?

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of knights lying in ambush nearby; she only needs to send a single signal.

The cavalry's iron hooves would instantly tear apart the group of warriors in front of them.

But... no one knew about this except her.

Leon seemed a little worried, and she whispered to Leah:

"Miss Lia...please prepare to escape."

"We will risk our lives to pave a way for you to leave."

Having said that, he drew two daggers from his waist and assumed a fighting stance.

Lia frowned, about to say something, but then the mage's hand on hers felt slightly warm.

Once the Mage's Hand gets close to its source of magic, the Mage's Hand will also sense it.

So...

"Leon, don't move."

Lia gave a confident smile.

Amidst the incredulous looks of the crowd, she spoke with utmost composure.

"Someone has come to pick us up."

Buzz—!

A fluorescent blue magic circle suddenly lit up outside the barrier, its vast area covering the entire barrier.

An astonishing magical aura leaked out, and in just an instant, the magic circle ignored the barrier of the anti-magic stone, teleporting everyone inside the barrier except for Chur and his subordinates away.

A flash of white light, and when Lia opened her eyes again, they had been teleported to a hillside outside the barrier.

Everyone except her looked around, slightly stunned.

They still don't seem to understand what happened.

Lia took a few steps forward and looked down into the barrier not far away.

Inside, there was a familiar figure.

The man was wearing a black trench coat and had his back to her. The glowing light in his hand dissipated, indicating that he had just cast a teleportation spell.

Viktor's voice rang out from inside the barrier:

"The kingdom's specialty anti-magic stones are very effective against mages, but they also have a significant drawback."

"If the mage is not within the restricted area, they can use magic from a distance to affect the area restricted by the anti-magic stone."

"In other words, if I wanted to, the anti-magic stone barrier you set up would have been shattered by my magic just now."

Qiu Er gripped the sharp blade in his hand, watching the uninvited guest with caution.

He questioned loudly:

"Who are you?"

Afterwards, Viktor gave him a graceful bow:

"I am Victor."

"I heard you were looking for me?"
