A quarter of an hour later, the team arrived near the happy bird.

"Surround them!"

Natalie let out a low shout, and the 400 battle mages of the 1st Guard Regiment quickly dispersed. Nearly 300 of them blocked all exits, and 100 began to set up various powerful teleportation and confinement arrays around the Happy Bird.

About ten minutes later, the commander of the 1st Guards Regiment came to report.

"Miss, the Happy Bird is completely blocked."

"very good!"

Natalie turned her head and looked at Rosen: "Follow me."

Rosen immediately took a step forward: "Of course."

She then said to the regiment commander, "Choose 20 smart soldiers to follow us."

The team leader immediately did as he was told and selected 20 of the most capable battle mages to serve as Natalie's temporary guards.

When everything was ready, Natalie waved her hand and strode towards the main entrance of Happy Bird.

When she reached the main entrance, she stopped and said to Rosen, "I'll wait for you here. You go in by yourself and ask Lord Alex to come out."

"clear."

Rosen walked quickly into the lobby on the first floor of the brothel.

Everyone in the brothel has already noticed something unusual outside.

Both the clients and the prostitutes had lost their mood to enjoy themselves. They all leaned against the windows, watching the situation outside the brothel in fear.

As soon as Rosen entered, the leader of the Iron Stone Gang, Jack, came over with a nod and a bow, and asked with a pale face, "Sir, what's going on outside?"

Rosen could fully understand Jack's fear, because the wizard would always kill people without blinking an eye.

Moreover, the method of killing is full of horrific imagination. Now the most elite Guards Regiment has been dispatched. If anything goes wrong, countless people will lose their lives.

People come to the brothel to have fun, but they are unwilling to lose their lives.

Rosen grinned and said, "It's nothing serious. I just came to invite someone."

"But the leader is Miss Natalie, and she has no good feelings towards brothels. If I were you, I would try to make as little noise as possible, and it would be best not to even fart, so as not to upset Miss Natalie."

Everyone in Gray City knew about Miss Natalie's reputation. Everyone in the hall secretly swallowed their saliva and dared not breathe a word.

Rosen turned around and quickly found Liv's maid, Lily. He walked over and asked in a pretentious manner, "Where is Lord Alex?"

Lily pointed upstairs, "The VIP room, with Liv."

After hearing this, Rosen's thoughts focused slightly, and he detected the unusual noise coming from the room on the second floor. He smiled slightly in his heart, but still maintained a very serious expression on his face.

"Understood."

He strode towards the door of the VIP room on the second floor, ignoring the lewd sounds coming from inside, and knocked and shouted loudly.

"Lord Alex~~Lord Alex~~"

After shouting five or six times, the strange noise inside finally stopped, and Alex's extremely impatient roar was heard.

"Andre, if you have to fart, let it out!"

"My lord, Miss Natalie has come personally to invite you to the Fortress of Dawn because the Guild Master has something important to discuss with you."

Normally, after hearing the news, Alex should have returned to Dawn Fortress with Rosen immediately.

But at this moment, Alex has completely become a slave to the desire for pleasure.

In the VIP room, Liv said tenderly: "Alai~ I really don't want you to leave."

Alex was already very hesitant, and when the soft thread wrapped around his fingers tightly, he became even more reluctant to let go.

His mind was even more confused. He wished he could stay with the woman in front of him forever. He felt a strong resentment towards the Eye of Dawn for interrupting his joy.

A thought came to my mind: 'These mortal country bumpkins are more annoying than mosquitoes in summer.'

Driven by this strong negative emotion, he shouted irritably.

"I'm busy right now, tell Natalie to wait outside!"

Rosen looked hesitant: "Master Alex, this... this is not good, right?"

"roll!"

Having achieved his goal, Rosen immediately turned around and left, taking two steps at a time out of Happy Bird and returning to Natalie.

At this moment, Natalie's eyebrows were raised on her snow-white oval face, and her hands were tightly holding the deep sapphire staff. She took deep breaths and tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart.

As a mage with 15th-ring power, she could easily hear the conversation between Rosen and Alex.

Originally, she had some doubts about the exaggeration in Ander's description, but now it seems that Ander did not exaggerate at all and even slightly beautified Alex's image.

This Alex is so arrogant and rude to an outrageous degree.

Even Earl Gauntkin of Moon City was very polite to his father. But this guy, an envoy who relied on connections to get promoted, came to the territory of Eye of Dawn and dared to look down on the owner of this territory.

It's just...just arrogant!

After a while, Natalie suppressed the boiling anger in her heart and waved her hand vigorously: "Come on, come with me to the brothel to hire someone!"

She strode into the Happy Bird with 20 battle mages, and Rosen naturally followed closely behind her.

As he walked, he whispered, "Miss, calm down. No matter what, he is the Earl's envoy. Although he is a little unreliable, the Earl's face must still be taken into consideration."

Of course Natalie knew Rosen was right, but she was angry and glared at Rosen: "Andre, are you teaching me how to do things?"

Rosen immediately laughed: "No, no, no, miss, I'm just suggesting."

"I don't need your advice, from now on, shut up!"

"Yes, miss."

As she was talking, Natalie walked into the lobby of Happy Bird first, and immediately saw a group of dishevelled clients. She smelled a strange odor that was a mixture of fragrance and stench. The rage in her heart suddenly became more intense and she could hardly suppress it.

Rosen immediately stepped forward and activated the force field spell, tearing away all the smoke veils hanging in the hall. He also pushed all the clients and prostitutes to the wall, clearing a clean and bright passage in an instant.

"Miss, please."

The process is very fast, taking less than 3 seconds.

Natalie's mood eased a little, and she had a much better impression of Ander in front of her. An idea flashed through her mind.

"Although this guy doesn't have much talent in magic, he is quite efficient in doing things."

I feel like I underestimated this guy in the past.

"Where's Alex?" she asked Rosen.

"Miss, follow me."

Rosen immediately led the way, and a group of people followed.

Soon we arrived at the door of the VIP room on the second floor.

Although there was a wooden door between them, one could still clearly hear the sounds of ecstasy and joy coming from inside.

Natalie was so angry that her face turned blue: "Does this bastard only have eyes for women?"

She had been here for so long, and she had sent someone to notify him in advance and given him enough excuses, but this guy completely ignored her.

In this case, Natalie was no longer polite and said to a battle mage beside her: "Kick the door open."

"Bang~~"

The wooden door was immediately kicked to the ground, and a woman's scream of "Ah" was heard from behind the door, followed by a man's angry roar.

"Who is looking for death?!"

Following these words, Alex rushed towards the door naked, holding his staff, angrily.

But Natalie was quicker.

20 battle mages from the 1st Guard Regiment filed into the VIP room and occupied key positions in the room.

Immediately afterwards, Natalie walked into the room, glared at Alex who was walking towards her, and responded with a sneer.

"My Lord, I am seeking death!"

Of course Alex knew Natalie, and he also knew the 1st Guards. When he saw this scene, he was stunned for a moment and a strange thought flashed through his mind.

"How did things turn out like this?"

But this thought flashed through his mind and was interrupted by a scream from behind.

He turned around and saw Ander grabbing the love of his life by the hair and dragging her out from the corner of the room.

And the first move he made was the killing spell 'Finger of Doom' that could cause endless harm to the enemy.

However, he had consumed a lot of energy and his mind was in a daze, so his casting speed was much slower than usual, and he did not take his own defense into consideration.

Seeing that he was so cruel just for a prostitute, Natalie's suppressed anger suddenly burst out, and she thought about it and cast a spell.

With a "bang", the staff in Alex's hand was knocked away.

Alex failed to cast the spell, and his body was shaken back several steps by the overflowing magic power. Before he could react, he heard Natalie say, "Control him!"

Two battle mages walked quickly to Alex's side and pointed their staffs at him. One cast a force spell to force Alex to his knees, while the other cast a soul-binding spell to prevent him from casting spells.

"Plop~~"

Rosen dragged Liv out from the corner and threw her on the floor in the middle of the room: "Miss, what should we do with this woman?"

Natalie glanced at Liv lying on the ground. Her hair was disheveled and she couldn't see her face clearly. She was only wrapped in a bed sheet and she couldn't sense any power. She looked like an ordinary prostitute with good looks.

Obviously, such a prostitute is incapable of determining Alex's will, so the person who is most at fault for today's absurd incident is Alex, the Earl's envoy from Moon City.

According to his father's wishes, Alex could not move and could only kill a few prostitutes to show his dissatisfaction.

But Natalie doesn't have the habit of taking her anger out on others and killing people.

She will vent her anger on anyone who provokes her.

So she waved her hand and said, "Get out!"

Rosen hurriedly stepped forward and whispered in Natalie's ear.

"Miss, we can't really do anything to Alex, but we can kill this prostitute at will. It just so happens that Alex cares about this prostitute, so we can give him a small punishment."

Natalie's heart was moved when she heard this, and her eyes moved back and forth between Alex and the prostitute on the ground several times.

Sure enough, I found that Alex's eyes were always fixed on the prostitute.

So, what Ander said was correct.

But she also knew that prostitutes could not decide their own fate. The mistake was clearly made by Alex, but another unrelated person had to bear the responsibility, which made her feel uncomfortable.

It's not that she sympathizes with prostitutes, nor has she never killed anyone before. If the prostitute was really wrong, she would have no psychological burden in killing her.

Rosen saw this and immediately said, "Miss, how about I do it?"

After saying that, without waiting for Natalie to respond, he took out a dagger, strode forward, and stabbed Liv in the chest. The latter screamed, fell to the ground, and died in an instant.

"No!"

Alex roared and struggled violently.

But he was naked, without any magical weapon to assist him, and his energy was exhausted, so he was no match for the combat spells of the two fully armed guards.

No matter how hard you struggle, it's useless.

He simply gave up struggling, and glared at Natalie fiercely with eyes filled with burning anger, vicious curses coming out of his mouth without thinking.

"You're dead~~You're all dead~~When I return to Moon City~~I will make you pay the most tragic price in the world!"

"Especially you, Natalie. I will lock you up in a sealed room, tie you to a wooden board, and then put a dozen young Nagru in there, letting them torture you to death!"

"I swear, I will do it!"

"Just wait!"

Natalie has a proud personality and has never been threatened in this way since she was a child.

Because of what happened today, his heart was already filled with anger, and he was extremely disgusted with Alex.

Being provoked like this, the anger in his heart instantly intensified several times and he instantly lost control.

She raised her staff, and in an instant a blade of light condensed. She thrust it forward and stabbed it into Alex's mouth, piercing his entire skull.

'Uh, click, click.'

With a strange struggle, Alex died.

Everyone in the room was shocked, because everyone knew that this person must not die.

The battle mages of the 1st Guards looked at Natalie with strange eyes, and their bodies unconsciously stepped back a little, as if they were afraid of being contaminated by bad luck.

Natalie felt this, and after killing someone, the anger in her heart was released and her rationality returned.

She suddenly felt a chill in her heart: "Hiss~ This is a big deal."

But the person is dead now, there is no turning back.

"What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?"

Natalie was distraught.

At this moment, a whisper came from my heart: "Miss, you can't stay in the Eye of Dawn any longer."

It's Ander.

Natalie's heart was shaken, but she had nothing to say because she knew Ander was right.

Ander's voice came up again: "Miss, I will help you hold back these guards, you hurry up and leave."

"But where do I go?"

"Go to the Longshan Brotherhood and seek refuge with your good friend Gwennaville. This is probably your only way to survive."

"What about you?"

"I have the blood of too many fraternity brothers on my hands. I have no way out."

"Hurry up, young lady. It will be too late if you are any later. The guards are looking at you with a strange look in their eyes."

Natalie knew that Ander was right, because the First Guards were truly loyal to her father, not her.

Now that she has done such a thing, given her father's character, he will definitely abandon her.

So, Ander was right, her only way to survive was to leave the Eye of Dawn.

But the soldiers of the 1st Guards would definitely not let her go.

"Miss, hurry up, I will help you stop these soldiers." Rosen urged with his eyes.

"You will die."

"Oh~~ There's no point in me living."

As he spoke, Rosen raised the staff in his hand and took the initiative to attack the soldiers of the 1st Guards Regiment.

Natalie's heart was shaken again, knowing that this was her only chance.

Gritting her teeth, she seized the opportunity and rushed out of the window.

The moment she rushed out of the window, she felt confused, but more of a sense of relief.

"Huh~~ I finally broke free from the shackles of my origin."

This background gave her glory, but it also completely restricted her life choices.

But now, she broke through the predetermined fate.

Glancing back again, he saw Ander standing in front of the window, desperately trying to fend off the attacks of the guards.

There was already blood on his body. When he saw her turn around, he urged her loudly: "Miss, please leave quickly! Don't worry about me!"

Natalie felt a strong sense of guilt again: "Hey~~"

She was not a hesitant person. She quickly turned around and continued to run wildly. Soon she ran hundreds of meters and broke out of the encirclement of the First Guard Regiment.

It was at this moment that she felt Ander's soul disappear.

In other words, the Hand of Dawn, who was once considered cowardly and incompetent in her eyes, had died in battle. He used his life to buy her a chance to survive.

Natalie's heart was shaken violently, her eyes felt hot, and her vision was slightly blurred.

At this moment, she deeply felt the shallowness of her past.

"In fact, Ander is much more capable than I am. All his achievements are due to his own efforts. As for me, I just took advantage of my birth."

After realizing this, Natalie looked up and ran forward even more determinedly.

"From today on, I will go my own way!"
