In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
There are still two months left until the magic exchange conference.
The Natural Alliance once again entered a cold winter.
Especially in Weilan, because it is located in the north, the temperature drops faster, the weather is below zero every day, and the surface of Swan Lake has begun to freeze.
But because a grand magic exchange conference is about to be held, the city is much more lively than in previous years, and there are many foreign faces.
Naturally, the city’s defense force has also been greatly strengthened to cope with more severe security challenges.
Early that morning, a very ordinary old-fashioned horse-drawn carriage was driving slowly on the streets of the outer city of Mondanya.
There were two women sitting in the carriage.
A woman in her early thirties, with the signature light blonde hair and emerald green eyes of a natural divine blood.
The other woman had black hair and purple eyes, and was about fifty years old. She looked like a kind old lady.
"Your Highness, the fortune-telling technique tells me that we are likely to be caught up."
The kind old woman suddenly spoke.
The young woman looked startled: "Is it the Scarlet Assassin?"
"I'm not sure. The other party used a very secret disguise method. This should be the method of the Lafengge faction!"
"Is Lafengge going to kill us regardless of the consequences?"
The old woman shook her head: "I don't know, but I already feel the danger, a very terrible danger!"
"We need to get out of the car immediately and ask for help from the roadside guard."
"Don't wait for the carriage to stop, just open the door and jump out, Your Highness!"
The old woman spoke in a hurried tone, as if she sensed the imminent danger, and she did have the ability to do so, for she was one of the guardian sages of the royal family of Levinder, the arcane soul Fugilola.
The young woman immediately complied, but still wondered, "Can the roadside guard help us?"
"Ordinary guards can't do that, but those in black clothes can. Look, there's one in black over there!"
As they were talking, the two men jumped directly from the fast-moving carriage, activated the magic of speed at the same time, and quickly ran towards the two black-clad guards in the corner.
To avoid any misunderstanding, the sage whispered to the black-clad guards while running:
"We are members of the royal family of Levender. We are being hunted and need the protection of Duke Weilan!"
The two guards in black were very young, probably under thirty years old.
They were originally looking a little distracted, but after hearing the old woman's words, they instantly became very alert.
One of them raised a cane-like weapon in his hand and shouted to the two women, "Come here! Come here quickly!"
The other guard decisively activated an alarm rune on his bracelet. With a crackling sound of lightning, an invisible electromagnetic wave instantly spread throughout the entire city of Weilan.
Along with his electromagnetic waves came his words.
"The Royal Family of Levender needs help. The location is 360 Bishui Street, next to Jenny's jewelry store."
Soon, the two women came to the black-clad guards, and the guards immediately protected them behind them.
One of them asked, "Where is the killer?"
Fuji Lola immediately said: "I don't know, he's hiding very secretly, but he must be nearby!"
The other party was indeed very secretive, but the mysterious spell of fate told her that a huge danger was pouncing on them like a ferocious beast.
No one in this world can completely block the power of fate, and the more deadly the crisis, the more accurate the results of fate divination.
"Lean against the wall~Lean in the corner~Hide behind us."
The black-clad guards shouted, looking vigilantly around the block, holding their canes high. If they spotted anything unusual, they would attack without hesitation.
Less than five minutes later, more guards in black arrived.
There were more than fifty people.
Among them there is also a fourth-ring master of magic.
This master held an even thicker staff in his hand and wore a very powerful magical amulet on his body.
He was obviously the commander, and he waved his hand vigorously.
"Protect the two ladies in the middle and return to the Security Bureau!"
As he spoke, he took out an exquisite white amulet, looked it over, and put it on the young woman.
Because this woman can be seen to have rich natural divine blood, she must be a member of the Levinder royal family.
The Security Bureau had already issued an order to protect the safety of the Levinder royal family at all costs.
Afterwards, a group of people escorted the two women, using the walls of the building as cover, and quickly left the block.
The young woman was very surprised: "You seem to have been prepared for this!"
It feels like it has been rehearsed in advance.
The black-robed magic master said solemnly: "The Duke expected that His Highness would come."
Before he finished his words, three loud bangs "bang", "bang", and "bang" were heard from the third-floor window of a building on the street.
Almost at the same time, a thick ice-blue glow suddenly appeared on the young woman's body, followed by a 'crack' sound of ice cracking.
After the ice cracked, there was still a layer of burning silver flame on the surface of its body.
But the flame also became very dim, as if it would go out at any moment.
"Ah~~"
The young woman screamed in shock, only to find that she had no injuries on her body. However, the white amulet she was wearing was broken, and the boiling moonfire amulet hidden close to her body also had many cracks, and a lot of broken ice chips were scattered around her feet.
The black-robed magic master was shocked: "What an accurate musket!"
The attack power is also extremely terrifying, with three consecutive precise strikes, and the intensity of each strike is no less than eight rings.
If it weren't for the temporary addition of an ice amulet, it might not have been possible to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Without hesitation, he took off his amulet and put it on the young woman, then waved his hand.
"Team One! Team Two! Go over and arrest them immediately. Your Highness, don't stand on the street anymore. Go inside and hide immediately!"
There was a blacksmith shop on the side of the road.
A group of people quickly took shelter inside, and at the same time, twenty people were divided and ran towards the roadside buildings.
Before he could stand still, the black-robed master saw a passerby passing by the door of the blacksmith shop and threw an inconspicuous "stone" in.
It was such an inconspicuous action that neither the sage Fugilola nor the young woman noticed anything.
But the master in black had a flash of inspiration, and quickly raised his hand and pointed at the stone, then quickly waved it towards the sky.
Stones flew into the air.
'boom!'
There was a loud thunder, and it turned out to be a powerful incendiary bomb.
Although the incendiary bomb exploded twenty or thirty meters in the sky, some people were still affected by the explosion fragments.
The situation became very serious.
Especially since it happened on the eve of the magic festival, it was a blatant slap in the face of Duke Weilan.
If this had happened at the venue of the magic exchange conference instead of on the street, I couldn't imagine what the consequences would be! A dozen black-clad guards immediately rushed out and immediately controlled the guy who threw the stone.
The black-clad master immediately shouted, "Clear the block! No one is allowed to get within 50 meters of the blacksmith shop!"
Immediately afterwards, he sounded the distress alarm again.
As soon as the alarm was sounded, more guards in black arrived.
Even a specially made electric car came.
They did not come because of the alarm, but were the second wave of support.
"Crack~~~"
The electric car stopped in front of the blacksmith shop, and two more black-robed magic masters appeared, bringing more magic amulets.
After figuring out the situation, the two masters immediately distributed amulets and shouted, "Ladies, bow and step forward and get in the car!"
He then shouted to the black-clad guards: "Help the two ladies get in the car!"
The black-clad guards immediately surrounded the two women tightly and held up black umbrellas.
Both women were stunned, even though one of them was a five-ring sage and the other was a master of magic.
Faced with this new-age assassination method, and the fact that the assassins also carried powerful amulets of concealment, they had no effective way to deal with it.
At this moment, their performance is basically no different from that of ordinary people.
Soon, the two women got on the electric bike.
The car immediately drove out at an extremely fast speed, much faster than an ordinary horse-drawn carriage.
The streets along the way had already been cleared, and pedestrians moved to the side of the road amid the shrill honking of horns.
Soon, the car drove into a huge tempered black clay building. A brass nameplate was hung on the door of the building, which read "Island Security Bureau Headquarters".
This building is very tall and solid. The outer wall alone is one meter thick and ten meters high, just like a city wall.
After entering the building, the car did not stop, but drove quickly into the underground along a secret passage.
After driving for several hundred meters in the underground passage, it finally stopped completely.
The black-clad magic master opened the car door and said, "Madams, it should be safe here."
The young woman and the old woman got off the bus and found themselves in a spacious underground corridor.
There was an open door on the side of the corridor, and fully armed soldiers were guarding both sides of the door.
"here it is?"
"The Security Bureau's underground shelter. In front of it is a safe house that can block all magical detection. It was designed by the Duke himself."
"Also, there are a large number of guards around, enough to resist any invasion."
The two women breathed a sigh of relief and quickly entered the safe house.
"Clang~~Click!"
The door of the safe house was closed. It could be seen that the door was very solid. It was made of pure steel, nearly twenty centimeters thick, and there were a large number of mysterious and complicated magical runes painted on the surface.
When the door was closed, a thick layer of aqua blue light appeared on the inner walls of the room, and the room suddenly became very quiet.
"Sh ...
Fuji Lola breathed a sigh of relief first and sat down on the chair in the safe house: "Your Highness, we are safe for the time being."
Such a solid underground shelter, and the defensive array designed by the Seventh Ring Mage himself, should be able to withstand any danger in the world, right?
"I know."
The young woman was Princess Levinder, and her judgment of the underground secret room was the same as that of Fugilola.
As my mind relaxed, I felt my legs become a little weak, so I sat down on the chair.
After a long silence, she asked in confusion, "Sage, Lafengge could have taken action against us earlier, why did he wait until we arrived in Weilan?"
Fuji Lola shook her head: "Your Highness, I don't know either."
"It may be because he not only wants to kill us, but also wants to frame Duke Weilan and sabotage the Duke's magic exchange conference."
"Isn't he afraid of completely angering Duke Weilan?"
Fuji Lola smiled bitterly: "What can't a madman like him do?"
After a pause, a look of deep fear appeared on her face again.
"Moreover, Lafengge may not be afraid of Duke Weilan, because I can vaguely feel that his magic power is also very strong, and it seems that he has broken through some limit."
The eldest princess was surprised: "You mean, he also has seven rings?"
"I don't know. Anyway, he is very, very powerful. I am no match for him."
She sighed softly: "Your Highness, the current Natural Alliance has completely lost control. The natural divine power has declined, and the order of the alliance has begun to be dominated by new powerful people."
As soon as she finished speaking, a voice suddenly rang out in the safe house.
"Your Highness, Ms. Fujilola, you don't think you'll be safe hiding underground, do you? Hahaha~"
It was actually Lafengge's voice.
The voice was filled with a sense of chaos and madness, making it impossible to predict what this person would do next.
What’s even more shocking is that this place is clearly protected by a powerful magical barrier, but the opponent’s magical power can still penetrate in.
The princess subconsciously exclaimed: "Isn't it safe here too?"
Fujilola was also shocked: "Could it be that Lafengge came after Weilan himself?"
She suddenly felt a sense of despair as if she was facing a terrible demon.
She even felt that even Duke Weilan might not be able to protect them.
Just as I was shocked, a young male voice was heard in the room.
"Your Highness, Sage, don't be nervous, and don't respond, just stay quiet!"
"Lafengge used a range spell. He only knew your approximate location, but not your exact location."
The princess recognized the voice immediately because they had met on the White Sturgeon Island. "Duke, is that you?"
"Yes, that's me."
"We are now talking via Lightning Messenger."
"Ladies, please wait for me for a moment. I'm on my way!"
