Ace was calling out Ed's name anxiously. Ed quickly climbed over the wall and ran over. Ace quickly hugged him and asked nervously, "Why did you run to the other side of the wall? That's the magic academy established by the lord! Did you offend anyone?"

Ed took a breath and shook his head, "No, I was just checking it out."

Hearing this, Ace finally breathed a sigh of relief and told Ed: "The wild boar has been sold. The noble lord accepted it and gave us some money. Hurry, we have to go back quickly."

However, they didn't know that after Ace went out, the steward of the lord's front yard had already set his eyes on them. The money for the wild boar and the appearance of the two children were enough to make them take the risk of kidnapping them and selling them for a large sum of gold coins.

Just as Ace and Ed were on their way home, they were blocked by people hired by the front yard manager.

"Boss, these are the two little guys, right?"

"Yes, they had quite a few gold coins in their hands. I saw it with my own eyes!"

"Who are you!" Ace's face changed instantly, and his hand slowly placed on the dagger at his waist.

Brother Ed stood behind Ace in fear. He looked at these ferocious guys and his heart was pounding with fear.

"Who are we? Don't be afraid, brother will take you to a good place." The leader stretched out his hand and tried to grab Ace.

At this moment, Ace immediately drew out his short knife and slashed it in front of him.

A cold light flashed, and the leader didn't expect that this kid would dare to resist with a knife. He didn't pay attention and his hand was cut with a huge gash, and blood flowed out of the wound.

"Fuck! Damn it! You actually dared to resist! Brothers, come on, beat you up first!"

The hooligans hired by the front yard housekeeper rushed forward and started kicking Ace and Ed. They were only ten-year-old children. No matter how mature Ace was, he was no match for these adults. In order to protect his younger brother, he could only passively take the beating.

“What are you doing!?”

At this moment, a cold voice sounded. A girl in a gorgeous dress walked slowly towards them. Her golden hair shone like the sun, her face was as delicate as a sculpture, and her deep blue eyes revealed a hint of disdain and arrogance.

She was the lord's daughter, Angelica Rudeus. The gangsters naturally knew her identity and did not dare to offend her easily.

Ace and Ed thought they had met a kind person and were about to breathe a sigh of relief, but they found that Angelica was just standing there watching coldly with no intention of taking any action, which made them feel disappointed and desperate.

They didn't know that this beautiful girl liked to bully people on a daily basis. Skipping classes and bullying had already become her daily routine. No one in the city dared to mess with her. She had already become the "Miss" in the city.

Angelica looked at Ace and Ed. She didn't expect that these two boys who were about her age were good-looking. So she said, "They are handsome. Maybe they would be good if we bought them back as slaves?"

When Ace and Ed heard the word "slave", they immediately felt panic in their hearts. Angelica rolled her eyes and a sly smile appeared on her lips: "However, if you want to be my slave, I have to see if there are any flaws in you."

The hooligans thought that the young lady was going to strip them of their clothes, and they burst into laughter. Angelica just wanted to take a closer look at their faces. Listening to the gangster's teasing, she quickly covered her blushing cheeks and took a step back.

She knew the group had misunderstood, but she didn't explain. A hint of viciousness flashed in Ace's eyes, and he secretly memorized the girl's face. He stood up, put his hands on his waist, and wanted to draw his sword, but found that the dagger had fallen out in the chaos.

Ed didn't understand why they had to suffer this and was filled with fear. Under the pressure of this fear, his sea of ​​​​spirit began to release, the world slowly slowed down before his eyes, and his eyes also saw things that he could not see normally, that was the elements!

He suddenly remembered the old gentleman's teachings just now, and he stretched out his hand involuntarily and arranged the elements according to his imagination. There was no magic spell and no staff needed, just his magic power and the magic was done.

The light flickered, and golden arrows condensed in front of Ed. Fear and astonishment were revealed in the eyes of the gangsters. Angelica said in shock: "Impossible! How can you, a civilian, use magic!" She was panicked and didn't know how to respond.

Ed looked at the arrows floating in front of him and felt uneasy. Although he had released magic, he didn't know how to use it. Just as he was about to reach out to touch the light arrow, the arrow seemed to have received an order and suddenly shot out, piercing the arms and thighs of the two gangsters, causing screams.

At the same time, when Ed saw the wounds on the thugs' bodies and their screams as they struggled on the ground, his head seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer and he suddenly fainted to the ground.

Ace exclaimed Ed's name and looked at him worriedly. Angelica realized that things were getting serious, so she immediately cast wind magic and quickly fled the scene. When the thugs saw that Ed was unconscious and only Ace was left, they looked at the wounds on their brothers' bodies, surrounded them in anger and started beating Ace violently.

Ace was naturally no match for this group of thugs. In order to protect Ed, he tried his best to lie on Ed's body and tried to block the attack.

At this time, it suddenly started to rain heavily, and the thugs continued to beat Ace and Ed fiercely. At this moment, someone shouted, "The patrol is coming!" The gangsters panicked and fled the scene. But there was a smart guy who rummaged through Ace's clothes and took away the only two gold coins.

After the thugs left, Angelica Rudeus walked out of the alley. It was she who made the shout just now. She looked at the unconscious Ed and the dying Ace with a look of horror on her face.

Although she enjoyed bullying others by taking advantage of her status, she had never hurt anyone's life. Just when she didn't know what to do, she suddenly felt sleepy and fell backwards involuntarily.

At this moment, a pair of hands caught her steadily, and a deep voice sounded: "I didn't expect that I could get such a reward just by going out for a walk."

A handsome young man in fancy clothes stood in front of her, followed by a middle-aged man holding an umbrella. He looked at the sleeping Angelica Rudeus, and a playful smile appeared on his lips: "Send Miss Angelica back to the old Duke's house, and take the two of them with me."

"Yes, Your Highness." The middle-aged man holding an umbrella behind him waved his hand, and two knights suddenly appeared behind him, took Angelica and left the scene.
