Chapter 81 Mills House (First update, please subscribe!)
In a border city of England close to the Ship Federation, the second princess Ilona sat in the command center, rubbing her eyebrows, her face full of fatigue.
The Ship Federation acted quickly.
After receiving technical assistance from Uno, the Ship Federation changed its low-key style of the past, holding the second-generation magic orb, and began to kill on the battlefield!
Although England tried his best to resist and defend, he still couldn't escape defeat in the end.
The first line of defense has been lost, and the second line of defense consisting of hundreds of magicians is also on the verge of being lost.
But now, the city has not been able to complete its evacuation plan on time.
Thinking of the tragedies caused by the Ship Federation's entry, Ilona felt a headache.
If we can't complete the retreat before those crazy people from the Ship Federation arrive here, half of the people in this city will die! Ilona has been working hard to plan the retreat route.
Everything has been planned carefully, including which route to retreat from, which city to go to, and which city to carry out the main defense.
However, when it came time to actually implement it, I found that it was not going so smoothly at all.
More than half of the people in this city are subordinates of the eldest prince. They distract Ilona's attention and make it impossible for her to complete the retreat plan smoothly.
That's fine.
Just at this time, Ilona heard bad news from the royal capital Lankana.
"What?! Kiri ran away!?"
Upon hearing the news, Ilona, who was originally sitting on a chair, stood up immediately. She slammed the table and stared at the subordinate who came to deliver the news:
"When did it happen? What on earth happened?!"
"They must be the Great Prince's men. They first attacked Professor Derien, and then imprisoned Kiri for espionage..."
The subordinate gave a rough account of the situation at that time.
He told Ilona everything, including how Li Qi was imprisoned and what happened when he escaped from prison.
"A bunch of rubbish!! They are more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything!"
Hearing this, Ilona was extremely angry.
The group of people from the eldest prince's faction started to act recklessly when she was away, which made her furious.
What made her even more angry was that they tried to kill Li Qi, but in the end they failed and let Li Qi escape and disappear! Did they know what they were doing? They were pushing a magic genius who could create a perfect magic device to Uno!
A bunch of scum! Short-sighted trash! !
Ilona cursed loudly in her heart, but she also knew that even if she got angry here it would be useless.
It is a fact that Li Qi escaped. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely choose to return to Uno.
Ilona must not allow Li Qi to return to Uno! Pacing back and forth in the headquarters, Ilona suddenly asked:
"How is the unit preparing now?"
The adjutant was stunned for a moment, then replied after a moment of thought:
"Everyone has been equipped with experimental magic devices and is currently undergoing training..."
"No need for training! Let them chase Li Qi! Let's try to persuade him first. If Li Qi refuses to come back..."
Ilona's eyes flashed with coldness: "Then find a way to get rid of him! At any cost!"
It doesn't matter if England doesn't get the new magic device, or if he loses a genius who will become a god of magic in the future! As long as Uno doesn't get Li Qi, it's England's victory! ...
Ilona had already decided to kill Li Qi and tried to chase him.
But she didn't know that Li Qi was still staying in Lankana and couldn't get out.
"…I said, are you still okay?"
In the sewer of Lankana, Li Qi endured the stinking environment and asked the spy while suppressing his anger.
The spy... or should I call him Mr. Jerome, was sweating profusely while comparing the sewer construction diagram in his hand and answered:
"It should be this side. I came from here when I first came here. Why is it gone?"
"Excuse me, how many years have you been lurking in England?"
"About ten years ago."
Jerome answered truthfully.
Li Qi suppressed his anger and lowered his voice, "Didn't you pay attention to the renovation of the sewers in the past ten years?!"
“…”
Jerome knew he was in the wrong and did not refute.
He looked at the blocked passage in front of him, sighed, threw away the map in his hand, looked up and said to Li Qi: "It seems that we can't escape from here, do you have any other ideas?"
"Oh, why don't I just go back and find Teacher Julie and the others."
Li Qi sneered.
When Li Qi saw the spy sneaking into the prison and trying to rescue Li Qi, he had a good impression of him and thought this guy was quite capable.
But who knew that it was just his illusion.
Li Qi now even regretted following the spy out. Instead of being a rat in the sewer with this spy, he might as well go back to Teacher Julie and beg for mercy.
Maybe Teacher Julie will keep him because of Li Qi's talent.
"Don't worry...I'll think about it."
"Forget it, let's leave here first, we'll find a solution after we get out."
Looking at the wound on his shoulder, Li Qi said to Jerome in a deep voice.
It had been a few days since Li Qi escaped from prison. During these days, he had been trying to heal the wound on his shoulder.
However, a certain special poison remaining in it had been isolating all kinds of magical powers, forcing him to rely on his body's recovery ability to heal himself, and unable to use magic for treatment.
The wound on my shoulder is not that serious. If I can calm down and recuperate, it will be almost healed in ten days or half a month.
But now Li Qi has no time to rest.
Especially in this sewer environment, not only will it not be of any benefit to Li Qi's injury, it will also bring negative effects.
If he hadn't been using magic to maintain the purification technique and clean the bacteria on his body, his wound would probably have worsened by now.
So since this unreliable spy can't take him away, it's better to go back to the ground and find another way.
If it doesn't work, just go back to the magic academy and ask teacher Julie for help.
Anyway, it's better than staying here.
Li Qi's suggestion was agreed by Jerome.
The two immediately returned and found the nearest sewer exit to leave the ground.
Fortunately, except for a few places that are slightly different from Jerome's memory, the rest of the place has basically not changed much.
The two successfully crawled out of a sewer in an alley.
As soon as I came out, I saw a group of soldiers running through the alley.
Those were the soldiers searching for Reach.
"We have to be careful up there. The whole of Lanka is looking for you now. If you are found by the Second Princess's men, it's fine. But if you are found by the First Prince's men..."
Jeremy whispered to Li Qi.
As a spy, he knew everything about the second princess and the eldest prince.
He also understood that if Li Qi had not gone with him, then Li Qi would be considered a member of the Second Princess's faction.
Li Qi will be fine if he is found by people from the Second Princess’ faction.
But if Li Qi was found by the eldest prince's men, he would have no chance of survival.
"Do I need to tell you?"
Reacher rolled his eyes at Jerome.
It was such an obvious thing that it was not Jerome's turn to talk nonsense.
Avoiding the guards who were looking for Li Qi, Li Qi and Jerome moved towards the direction of the magic academy.
Jeremy actually had his own safe spot in Lankana, and they had been resting in a safe spot before.
But after being exposed that night, these safe spots may no longer be safe.
So any used safe points must be abandoned.
On the contrary, the magic academy is relatively safe.
Li Qi and Jerome walked towards the direction of the magic academy.
But what neither of them expected was that when they approached the magic academy, they met an unexpected person.
"Kiri!?"
The girl with twin ponytails in school uniform looked at Li Qi and Jerome in surprise as they were approaching the school.
Her name is Mary Mills.
The Duke's daughter who always wanted to challenge Li Qi and regain her twelve-star status when Li Qi was in the academy.
…
The Mills family is an old aristocratic family in England.
Grand Duke Mills has been the military minister of England for generations.
The Duke of Mills of this generation is the subordinate of the Second Princess and is responsible for working for the Second Princess Ilona.
It was thanks to this Grand Duke that Ilona was able to carry out reforms in the military without hindrance.
Now that Ilona has gone to the front line to preside over the retreat, the management of the military in the royal capital naturally falls into the hands of Mills.
This time, Mills is responsible for finding the 'fugitive' Li Qi, and he also has to do his part.
Therefore, Mary took this opportunity to join the search party, ostensibly to find the criminal who destroyed the prison block.
In fact, they want to find 'Kiri' and protect him.
This is also what Grand Duke Mills meant.
"How is it? Does it still fit?"
At the Mills' house, Mary asked Li Qi who was wearing a guard uniform.
Li Qi shook the Mills family's guard uniform and smiled kindly at Mary: "Not bad, thank you, Miss Mary."
"Then why are you being so distant? Just call me by my name, or as your challenger, do you disdain to call me by my name?"
Mary snorted softly, and there seemed to be a strange light in her eyes as she looked at Li Qi.
Jeremy, who also changed into a guard uniform but was ignored, grinned when he saw the girl's expression, and there was a little more admiration in his eyes when he looked at Li Qi.
Mary Mills, the only daughter of Grand Duke Mills, has had many men trying to pursue her but failed. Unexpectedly, now her heart is tied to Li Qi.
I really don't know how this guy did it.
While thinking about these things, Jerome felt a little emotional.
What Li Qi got in England was more than he had imagined. If it hadn't happened this time, Li Qi would probably have stayed in England and never returned to Uno.
After all, what Uno gave him was not as much as what England gave him.
Fortunately, the eldest prince made a stupid move, otherwise Jeremy would not have been able to persuade Li Qi to go back.
