Chapter 567: Fire-like Girl
Fei and Angela looked at each other and saw the smile on each other’s face.
They all knew this fire-like and bright girl. In fact, she was treasured by almost everyone in Chambord’s military.
“Are you King Alexander? If you can save my father, I’m willing to be your lover forever……” This was the first thing that Louise said to Fei when they met.
Back then, Fei merely discovered the existence of Diablo World, and he just started experimenting with this ‘golden finger’. During that time, Chambord Castle was under siege, and the black-armored enemies surrounded it. In order to destroy the siege ladders in battle, Pierce risked his life and got severely injured, dancing on the verge of death.
When Fei successfully got a bottle of [Minor Health Potion] from Diablo World, and before he saved Pierce, he encountered Pierce’s daughter, who was this red-haired Louise.
Back then, Louise was still little; she was just a little over ten years old. Now, the time only passed by for about a year, and that girl, who cried beside her injured father, looked like she was six to seven years older. Her thin and weak body had grown a lot, and she looked more like a young woman now.
Her hip and chest bulged up, filling up the loose red magic robe. However, her facial features were delicate but a little immature. Therefore, the contrast between the cuteness and semi-mature body made her the perfect loli.
No wonder when she walked in, almost everyone felt like this fire-like girl stole all their attention.
Fei didn’t expect that Bast and Brook would be comfortable enough to send the students of Chambord’s Civil and Military University to inspect the new territory of Chambord. The two young men behind Louise were also wearing the uniforms of Chambord’s Civil and Military University, so they must be students as well.
What pleased Fei was that this university he established less than a year ago when he felt like joking actually worked pretty well.
At the moment, Louise was already a Two-Star Mage, and a faint cloud of fire elements was floating around her. The other two students looked thin, but Fei could tell that they had warrior energies flowing inside their bodies. They were both One-Star Warriors.
The three of them were invincible in this small town; they could deal with the current situation easily.
Therefore, Fei lightly squeezed Angela’s hand and started to observe the performance of Chambord’s students; he wanted to know how these three people were going to solve the current problem.
……
“You are the envoy from Chambord?”
Babel’s brows twisted frequently like poisonous snakes, causing his expression to change continuously.
This little nobleman felt like something was wrong. When he turned his head and looked at his bald guard, he saw that his guard wasn’t afraid. Therefore, he calmed down and mocked, “Do you have any proof? Little girl, can you prove your identity?”
“We knew that shameless people like you would say something like this! Therefore, the Head Minister of Chambord, Mr. Bast, give us these scrolls! I will show this one scroll to people like you who are trying to defame King Alexander His Majesty so that you will finally surrender! Humph!” Louise sneered and took out a red scroll that had golden edges from her inner pocket. She lightly flicked her wrist, and the scroll opened. Then, a surge of energy appeared when the vivid image of a two-headed dog with an ax and a blade in its mouths got displayed. The image was created by magic energy, and it was bright and eye-catching.
It was the symbol of Chambord!
This was the [Scroll of the King’s Order], and these scrolls were created by powerful mages, contained anti-forging seals, and were extremely hard to copy. An ordinary level 1 affiliated kingdom shouldn’t have the power to create such scrolls.
Three months ago, it was announced that these scrolls would represent the will of King Alexander His Majesty.
Therefore, the farmers in the hub all stood up in excitement as they stared at the bright image on the scroll.
At this moment, almost everyone believed Louise’s identity.
Babel’s expression froze as well.
“Hahaha! What a joke!” Babel’s wife, Kelly, who had been silent suddenly laughed, “Little girl, you want to show off a scroll that you stole from somewhere? What a silly girl! Everyone, just think about it. How could King Alexander His Majesty, someone who is talented and wise, send a little girl as his envoy? Also, from your looks, you guys aren’t even adults yet. How could His Majesty trust kids like you? This is ridiculous! Little girl, lying about your identity as the envoy of the king could potentially result in you guys being hung!”
One had to admit that women’s sixth sense was sharp. This chubby mid-aged woman instantly saw through Louise’s real age and grabbed onto this ‘loophole’ in the argument.
After hearing Kelly’s words, the farmers who believed Louise started to doubt her.
“Hahaha! I almost got fooled by you! Little girl, you sure are daring! How dare you steal one of Chambord’s [Scrolls of the King’s Order] and try to fool the people of Kelun? Tell me, who told you to do this? Monet is your co-conspirator, right? Hehe, the real envoy from Chambord is resting in my mansion, and he has been worrying since his [Scroll of the King’s Order] was stolen. Come here! Guards, arrest this scammer and her peers! Lock them up and interrogate them! I need to know all of the participants in this scheme!”
Kelly’s words reminded Babel, so he opened his mouth and instantly threw dirt on Louise and her peers habitually. Using words along, he turned them into thieves who stole this precious and powerful scroll.
A series of footsteps sounded.
More than a dozen guards rushed into the pub from the outside with weapons in their hands. As vicious smiles appeared on their faces, they surrounded Louise and her peers. The farmers in the pub were terrified as they moved further away so that they wouldn’t be affected. The young man, who brought Louise and the other two students of the university here, fell onto the ground, and his face paled.
“Humph! I knew that you would try the last-ditch effort!” Louise sneered.
She shook her hands and carefully put away the scroll as if it was the most precious treasure. Then, she pointed at Babel in the nose and stated loudly and aggressively, “I took out the [Scroll of the King’s Order] to show you that I have it, and it doesn’t matter if you believe it or not. Nobleman Babel of the Kelun Town, I, the envoy from Chambord, suspect that you are trying to cooperate with the enemies of Jax and defame King Alexander His Majesty. You also disobeyed the orders from the king, acted dishonestly, and plotted conspiracies! You better give up and wait for the ruling of the Kingdom’s Court! If you dare to resist arrest, as the envoy from Chambord, I have the right of killing treasonous suspects on the spot!”
Louise was tougher than both Babel and Kelly. She opened her mouth and made Babel into someone who committed treason; her determination and courage stunned Jessie and Alan. These two men turned around and looked at Fei, thinking, “No wonder she is the envoy from Chambord. Her domineering and straightforward behaviors are almost identical to King Alexander!”
“What? How dare you? Do you want to die?” Babel shouted furiously, “Quickly arrest these three scammers! Quick!”
The guards sneered and stepped forward.
As the people worried about this fire-like girl, they heard a series of crisp, wind-chime-like chants. Louise placed her hands in front of her chest, and waves of flames appeared in between her palms, instantly increasing the temperature in the pub.
Then, more than a dozen dashes of flames shot out and struck every single guard.
Bam! Bam!
As if they were electrocuted, these guards fell onto the ground while their bodies turned black. Their hairs were burned, and streaks of black smokes came out of their mouths. They couldn’t even hold onto their weapons since all of them fell unconscious.
“Ma…… mage?!?! This girl is a powerful mage?” Babel and Kelly were stunned.
They realized that the situation went out of their control, and they sensed a chill going up their spines. At the same time, cold sweats covered their foreheads.
