Soldiers Blocking the Road

Under the cover of darkness, Li Yan, who had just defeated Sigrid, used his Space Magic to leave the Royal Capital and was now speeding towards Lionheart Earl's territory in Mana chariot.

"A Yan... I hope you have a safe journey. The only thing your Godmother can do for you now is to write to Lionheart Earl in advance and ask him to prepare the army."

Flamme picked up the pen and paper, a look of weariness appearing on his face.

"Earl Tiger Roar was originally a good piece, but now it seems he can only be sacrificed. I hope Earl Tiger Earl can be more rational, otherwise, for A Yan's sake, I will have no choice but to throw you off the chessboard first."

Flamme rubbed her temples. She had been thinking too much about barrier magic these past few days. Now that her godson had caused such a disaster, her mental strength was completely insufficient, and her mind was burdened with too many things.

"Master, why did my senior brother kill that fatso?"

Frieren bit her lower lip and asked in confusion.

Flamme slightly raised her head and looked at the ceiling. She had considered this issue. It was clearly just a Demons, something that could be discarded at will, but for her sake, A Yan not only threw rotten eggs at all the villagers in the Small Town, but also killed Earl Tiger Earl's future hope.

"Do you know why this Demons your senior brother brought back is so obedient to him? At first, she was just imitating a human maid, pretending very seriously, but later she gradually integrated into the role your senior brother gave her, earnestly serving as your senior brother's maid step by step."

Flamme countered with a question to Frieren.

"I don't know, that Demons treats my senior brother completely differently from other humans."

Frieren thought about it seriously for a moment, and finally gave a somewhat uncertain answer.

"Because of the heart, your senior brother is teaching with his heart, and that Demons is also learning and imitating with her heart. Although she doesn't understand human emotions, she deeply imitates human actions, feelings, and expressions."

"Her efforts to imitate and learn are solely for one purpose: to ingratiate herself and flatter. Although she currently shows no ill intent, the mindset of Demons is completely different from that of humans, and I am somewhat worried."

Flamme stared at the ceiling, unsure if her judgment was accurate, but it was the best conclusion she could draw.

"Oh, I don't think she would hurt my senior brother."

Frieren muttered to herself.

"I don't know anything about that."

Flamme lowered her head. In her heart, there was only evil for the Demons. If it weren't for her, A Yan's sake, she would have dealt with that Demons long ago.

At the entrance of the Magic Continent Association in the Royal Capital, two masked men in plain clothes exchanged a glance, one of them looking somewhat flustered.

Where is young master Sigrid?

"Young Master Sigrid disappeared on the street. It seems his senior, who had been chatting with him in the stands at the match today, took him away."

"Are you an idiot? Why don't you follow them?"

"The other party simply vanished instantly with Young Master Sigrid and the maids, leaving no trace whatsoever."

The man in plain clothes, looking flustered, explained in detail, but the other man, who had already sensed something was wrong, turned and left, saying, "Good luck to you. I hope Young Master Sigrid is safe and sound, otherwise we'll all be buried with him."

The day after leaving the Royal Capital, Li Yan frowned as he looked at the squad of soldiers blocking his way. They were riding warhorses, fully armed, and some soldiers even held crossbows, aiming with a look of vigilance. Clearly, they were up to no good.

These soldiers were the garrison of a nearby city, and upon receiving news from Earl Huxiao, they deliberately ambushed Li Yan on his likely route.

"Li Yan, stop your steel chariot, or don't blame us for being impolite. What exactly did you do to Young Master Sigrid?"

Looking at the squad of soldiers outside the car, Li Yan expressionlessly activated his Mana burst state. This was already the third wave of soldiers he had encountered. The first wave of soldiers was quite polite, the second wave already carried a hint of threat, and the third wave was ready to attack at any moment.

The Mana chariot, in its burst of Mana, ignored the soldiers' encirclement and charged away at an extremely fast speed. The speed of the Mana was like that of an infant compared to that of an adult.

"Damn it! He got away again. It seems that young master Sigrid has met with misfortune, otherwise the other party would have communicated with him."

The leading soldier captain lowered his crossbow; the arrows couldn't penetrate the Mana chariot's defenses, and the magic couldn't hit the extremely fast Mana chariot either.
