"Don't worry, sir. Heh heh, such a paltry little magical trick, yet she dares to show off. She's utterly pathetic. I'll take care of her." The bald guard captain, oblivious to his own mortality, arrogantly boasted.
His usual swagger in Krun Town had made him completely forget his own limitations. He thought he could handle those dozen or so men himself, so he didn't need to be afraid of this little girl mage. As long as he was careful not to get hit by those tiny red flames, he'd be fine. Once she got close, hehe, weren't mages supposed to be terrible at close combat?
Woohoo!
With quick steps, the bald man, like a clumsy bear suddenly becoming agile, constantly changed his rhythm and direction as he charged towards Louis.
Having mastered Dou Qi, even without a formal Star Class rank, performing these actions was not difficult for him.
On the other side, the little girl seemed not to have reacted, and even forgot to chant the magic spell.
However, just as hope rekindled in the eyes of Lord Babel and Lady Kelly, a cold snort was suddenly heard. A boy dressed in a samurai outfit, who had been standing next to Louis, suddenly flew forward, leaving a trail of light blue in the air, and kicked out.
Before the bald man could react, he was kicked in the chin with a thud.
A wisp of blue-white frost instantly spread from the bald man's chin.
Within seconds Ice-Element Dou Qi completely covered the bald man's massive body, as if a thick layer of frost had been applied. He was completely frozen by the boy's ice-based battle aura, with only his eyeballs able to move a few times in their sockets, his expression filled with utter horror...
"A stupid, clumsy bear like you, who doesn't even have a one-star Dou Qi rank, actually dared to attack our School of Civil and Martial Arts's number one Witch... uh, no, number one saintess, Sister Louis. To be honest, I really admire your courage, bald guy!" The boy landed on the ground, clapped his hands with an air of old age, and his eyes were full of mockery.
"Hehe, Pato, don't praise me like that, I'll get embarrassed. His Majesty Alexander said that the reason why tiny ants dare to crawl on the sacred dragon is not because they are stupid, but because they are ignorant. So, I will forgive this ignorant big bear." Louis, without any embarrassment, compared himself to the sacred dragon. A mischievous smile appeared on his delicate, fair face. His slender, alabaster-white hand twirled a strand of red hair at his temple. He floated lightly to the frozen bald man. In the bald man's horrified eyes, he extended his jade-like middle finger and gently tapped the bald man's chest, just like an adult disciplining a child.
Clang!
The bald man's frozen body collapsed like a wooden stake.
A collective gasp filled the air.
This fiery little girl and her companions possessed strength far exceeding everyone's expectations. Baldy, usually considered the strongest fighter in Krun Town, was utterly insignificant in their presence, being knocked down before even touching their clothes. It was truly unbelievable how someone so young could have cultivated such power.
By this time, most people were completely convinced that these three children were definitely the messengers of the King of Chambord.
Only an envoy of the King of Chambord could be this powerful.
"Hey? That Mr. Babel, he was all high and mighty just now, what's wrong? Trying to run away now?" Louis turned his head and saw Babel and Kelly, a man and a woman, with their heads down, tiptoeing away when no one was looking.
"Uh... I, this... you..." Caught off guard, Babel froze, turning around with a smile more like a grimace. Gone was his previous arrogant and condescending demeanor. He stammered, "Envoy... Your Excellency, this... I, this is a misunderstanding, I've been tricked..."
"Hehe, you can talk to Uncle Oleg about these things when you get to the Kingdom's Ministry of Justice... Oh, by the way, just a friendly reminder, Uncle Oleg is known as the man who can torture even a stone man to the point of near death. He's currently on his way back to Chambord City with His Alexander. You're lucky; you might get to be interrogated by Uncle Olegte himself!"
Louis's mischievous smile and the content of his words nearly made Babel and his companion faint.
"No, oh no! Little sister, listen to me, we were also deceived, deceived by a fake messenger..." Lady Kelly's eyes darted around, trying to prove her innocence.
"Shut up! You wicked woman!" Louis, who had been smiling, suddenly turned icy cold and snapped, "Do you think His Majesty Alexander's envoys are fools? The reason we're so late today is to investigate some matters. Hmph, we've investigated your crimes in Krun Town over the years, and your conspiracy to collude with four others to instigate a peasant riot. We know everything. Brand, tie them both up."
This sharp shout completely shattered the man and woman in front of them.
The boy who hadn't made a move earlier suddenly appeared in front of the two, took out a very delicate handcuff, and with a click, cuffed them together.
On the other side, the boy with the Ice-Element Dou Qi who had attacked earlier had untied the young man Monai, from the pillar, and used his battle Dou Qi to heal him, quickly removing the flesh and blood wounds on the young man's body.
"Alright, the villains who plotted to ruin His Alexander's reputation and the kingdom's important spring planting season have been imprisoned. In the name of His Alexander's envoy, I announce to everyone: this year, all land will be exempt from rent for spring planting. Starting tomorrow, we will be distributing wheat seeds free of charge to everyone at the gate of this nobleman, Lord Babel's, residence..."
Louis chuckled and jumped onto a table, speaking with great seriousness as he stood on it and loudly announced.
Immediately, cheers erupted from the people in the wine.
Long live King Alexander!
" Long Live the King! Long live the King! Long live the King!!"
May the gods bless the great and merciful King Alexander!
"Praise be to Alexander the Great, the just and compassionate king!"
The previous one-sided curses and angry shouts turned into cheers and praises. Sun Fei instantly transformed from a 'tyrant who deserves to Hell ' into the 'great and benevolent King Alexander '. Louis and his two friends were also infected by the scene before them. At this moment, the three 'little adults' finally revealed their childishness and true age, laughing and jumping. Whenever they shouted ' Long Live the King ', their eyes shone with the burning light of crazy worship.
The crowd gradually dispersed.
The people were shouting " Long Live the King!"
Soon the bar became empty. Apart from the proprietress, the plump waitress Jenny, the handcuffed Babel and Kelly, and the Enforcer on the ground, Louis and his two companions Pato and Brand, stayed behind. The young man from Krun Town named Monai did not leave with the others.
"Hmm? These friends seem unfamiliar. Are they also from Krun Town?" At this moment, the little girl Louis's expression suddenly changed, becoming serious.
As she spoke, she slowly turned around and looked at the table under the wine window. There were five people sitting there, but unfortunately she could only make out the faces of two of them: a boy with short chestnut hair and a young man with short, stiff white hair. As for the other three, for some reason, even with all her magical power, she couldn't see their faces clearly. A faint ripple of space rippled in front of them, like mist, obscuring everything and allowing her to make out only their general outlines.
She couldn't discern the true nature of these five people.
Originally, she shouldn't have provoked such a powerful expert, but recently, several unfamiliar experts had been infiltrating the new territory of Chambord City and causing trouble, so Louis decided to test the waters. She was very thoughtful; in fact, she had already secretly asked the townspeople beforehand, and they knew that these five people had only arrived this afternoon.
"What, little girl, are you trying to test our capabilities?"
The voice emanating from the misty fog carried an indescribable sense of oppression, startling Louis, Pato, and Brand, the three young adults. They felt as if their every thought had been read, and their hearts pounded with fear. They raised their strength to its peak and became on guard.
