They didn't know exactly where they were, and all means of communication with the Dragon Kingdom had been cut off.
Therefore, by protecting Princess Veroshia, they can also learn more about this place.
However, it was a little later because they heard more sounds from nearby.
It was a sound mixed with the clatter of hooves and armor, and also the whistling of the wind.
Judging from this, those people must also be the knights who came to capture Princess Shiya, right?
So why are they hunting her down?
After the nearby knights left, Liu Lang cautiously peeked out and discovered some strange devices on the ground. Based on his years of experience in mechanical forging, he believed these were used for reconnaissance.
If we don't destroy it, this place will be exposed to them; if we destroy it, it will also be exposed.
Interesting, but it's only suitable for this kind of occasion, right?
After Liu Lang returned, Xiao Dai actually started playing with the baby rabbits. In addition, the big rabbit's injuries had been almost completely healed by Dai Shanren's Apocalyptic Light, and even its internal injuries had been treated by the Ninth Princess.
However, what she was displaying was not supernatural energy!
Strange, what is that?
"This is the life magic of the palace, the wind of revival."
Princess Veronica explained it this way.
magic?
"There's no one around here now. May I ask Princess Shiya some questions?"
"Of course you can."
With her permission, Liu Lang also inquired about everything here from the Ninth Princess.
First and foremost is one's level of understanding.
This place also has a range of levels from one to nine stars. As for why this is the case, it seems to have been passed down from hundreds of years ago.
Secondly, there are the enemies.
The enemy is also simple, namely the demon race, but the demon race here is more straightforward than that in the Dragon Kingdom, mostly consisting of vampires, undead, evil spirits, and the underworld race.
As for the genetically modified humans and monsters, they did not appear here, and there were no more enemies here.
No... there might be other enemies, but the Ninth Princess was unwilling to reveal the reason.
Liu Lang recalled what the knight commander had said at the time. When he mentioned that they were the princess's knight guards, the Ninth Princess did not refute it.
They even said they were ordered to bring back the Ninth Princess of the Empire.
Why would a princess, who was perfectly well-off, choose to hide in the countryside?
Finally... what is an empire?
"The empire is the country beneath our feet, and the one who currently rules the empire... is my father."
Maybe it's...
Princess Shiya became somewhat downcast when talking about her father, the Emperor. Liu Lang and Xiao Dai exchanged a glance, realizing that the reason for her escape was indeed her father.
But the person has already been killed, so what's there to worry about!
Liu Lang spread her hands. If they really were knights sent by her father, wouldn't killing them make her a wanted criminal?
"Don't worry about their identities. Those knightly orders weren't registered, and... they really were the knights who helped me leave the capital."
"But they were also contaminated, so..."
"What do you mean by 'contaminated'? If you don't tell us, Princess, we'll have a hard time understanding."
Princess Shiya bit her lip and remained silent. She was afraid that this matter would implicate her two benefactors, because she was planning to leave on her own later, which was why she had not spoken of these things.
Seeing that the princess was serious, Liu Lang and Dai Shanren had no choice but to respect her decision.
But will they really not be listed as wanted criminals?
After saying goodbye to the big rabbit, everyone went down the mountain and returned to the outskirts of the village. However, the village was full of spies from the Knights Order, and going down now would be like walking into a trap!
"I have bad news. It seems you're wanted by the police."
Liu Lang returned from outside with a twitching mouth. It seemed that because he had lived in the village before, the images of Dai Shanren and Princess Shiya had been recorded.
So there are portraits of two people here.
But...why is the princess's portrait so beautiful, while Xiao Dai's portrait is so abstract?
"How could this be...?"
Verosia was somewhat astonished. How could they dare to issue a warrant for the arrest of a member of the royal family without her father's permission? Especially a princess or prince!
The thought made Velocia tremble again... She deeply regretted not listening to her father...
"Sister Shiya, could you please stop trembling?"
Xiao Dai comforted her, mainly because she saw Liu Lang looking constipated.
Although Liu Lang has now recovered nearly 30% of his strength and can barely run a few steps, he still can't help but feel a phantom pain in his bones when he sees the Ninth Princess trembling all over.
"I have another question. Assuming there is really danger in the capital, what is your purpose in running away like this?"
Is it simply a matter of running away?
Liu Lang rubbed his forehead to suppress the phantom pain. For now, they only dared to stay outside the village and couldn't go back for the time being.
Looks like I'll have to go back down the rabbit hole tonight.
I hope that big bunny doesn't mind.
Of course not!
I am searching for the Empire's Archmage—Lord Azro!
After being calmed down by Xiao Dai, the Ninth Princess revealed the purpose of her trip: to leave the capital and find the Empire's Grand Mage, Azro!
"Lord Azro? And who is he?"
"Lord Azro is the Empire's Grand Mage! Back then, he and the Great General personally killed the Netherworld Demon King of the Demon Race amidst a vast army, and no new Netherworld Demon King has been born since then!"
The Netherworld Army, which had swept through the empire at that time, also disappeared without a trace!
