"Sir Magician, please don't say that …" The boss stopped halfway and still didn't have the courage to reprimand Salin.
Rex was getting impatient. She took out a square seal and pointed it at the young man's face. "Since your father is a duke, you should recognize this."
The frivolous expression on the young man's face froze. Of course he recognized this seal. This was the mark of a direct descendant of the Glücos royal family. No matter how far Pang Pei was from the capital, he knew what was happening there. There weren't many dukes with fiefs in the whole of Qin Yin. Duke Dominic had also arranged for people to gather intelligence in Sacred Rock City, and he had a close relationship with the House of Lords.
"You are … Sir Rex?"
Rex was furious. She didn't want to get into trouble, but she had to reveal her identity to this young man to solve the problem. Otherwise, she couldn't really kill the son of a duke if the young man insisted on doing things his own way.
"That's me. You can leave now." Rex's expression was as stiff as an inferior sculpture.
"Sir, please forgive my rudeness just now. Since you're in Pang Pei, you have to meet my father no matter what. Don't you think so? "The young man suddenly became polite.
Salin had learned some things from Rex. From the young man's words, he could hear a sense of pride. Clearly, the nobles of Pang Pei City were very clear about the situation in the capital, and also knew Rex's current awkward situation.
The young man's words could be regarded as an invitation from Duke Dominic. If Rex refused, it would be rejecting a duke's friendship. For Rex, who was in a difficult situation, it was clearly unwise to do so.
As expected, Rex put away the seal and said to the young man in the colorful robe, "I'm only staying for a day. It's not convenient for me to meet the duke."
"Sir, Bergen is one of us. He won't say anything. As for that … "He glanced at Gesica and said casually," That girl, I will make her one of us. "
As he spoke, he blocked the staircase and looked at Rex.
Rex had already established a kingdom. As a direct descendant of the Glücos family, it was not a problem for her to move around in Qin Yin. She didn't even need to inform Sacred Rock City. However, she was still a princess. It would be very inappropriate for her to meet a duke with a territory in Qin Yin if word got out.
Rex sighed inwardly. Many things could not be solved with magic. If he rejected the invitation, Duke Dominic would be very uncomfortable. If he accepted the invitation and news of this spread to Sacred Rock City, the House of Commons would use this to attack him.
Whether or not this matter would get out didn't depend on the owner of the shop. It was all up to Dominic. Pang Peicheng had a seven-story Magic Tower, so he couldn't mess around.
The feeling of being controlled made Rex very uncomfortable. She put on an extremely formal expression and said to Duke Dominic's son, "Baron, I still need to purchase a batch of resources. I really don't have time. Please apologize to Duke Dominic on my behalf."
In Qinyin, the inheritance of noble titles was very strict. As long as Dominic was alive, his son could not be rewarded with a title unless he performed meritorious deeds on the battlefield. She addressed the young man in the brocade robe as a form of etiquette. It didn't mean that this Duke's son had an official title. She was reminding the young man that he had no right to invite her.
"Sir, even if it's an unofficial invitation, it's still very important to the Bitter Water Prefecture Kingdom, isn't it?" A frivolous expression appeared on the youth's face again. He seemed to be sure that Rex wouldn't fall out with him.
Rex really regretted coming ashore. If only she had stayed on the ship peacefully. If her father was still alive, this young man probably wouldn't have the guts to be so arrogant. Rex felt wronged. For the first time in her life, she felt powerless.
Salin was also very frustrated. He didn't dare to provoke this seemingly retarded young man. This young man's retardation was all an act.
In a city as big as Pang Peicheng, there were sword saints and magic casters. There would probably be a large navy. It was like someone was causing trouble in the Bitter Water Prefecture. Unless it was a peak professional, the rest couldn't escape even if they wanted to.
"I won't accept such an invitation." A layer of air suddenly appeared on the surface of Rex's body. It wrapped around her and slowly lifted her from the one-and-a-half-story position. She said to Salin, "Let's go."
The young man in the brocade robe didn't expect Rex to directly fly down and was caught off guard. He was a little annoyed. He'd long heard that Great Emperor Chanak's daughter wasn't someone to be trifled with. He thought he'd defeated her today, but he didn't expect the information to be outdated. Rex could fly freely, which meant that she was no longer a level-five magic caster. She must have advanced to level-six.
If she was a level-six magic caster, he might not be her match.
The young man in the brocade robe was shocked by Rex's level and didn't dare to stop her. He only shouted from behind, "Sir, should I tell my father about what happened today?"
"Humph!" Rex couldn't suppress the anger in her. She directly knocked open the shop door and rushed out.
Salin hurriedly followed. Before leaving, he suddenly turned back to the young man in the brocade robe and said, "We're going to Alchemy City. If you have the guts, you can follow. Sword saint? Hehe … "
Seeing that Rex had rejected the young man's invitation, Salin didn't hold back anymore. In Alchemy City, even if you were an official sword saint, you wouldn't receive much respect. That was the world of magic casters. He was reminding the other party that Rex was a Great Magic Caster and wouldn't be controlled by anyone.
Seeing that Salin and the others had gone far away, the fat shop owner then said to the young man in the brocade robe anxiously, "Young Master, it doesn't seem right to treat a Great Magic Caster like this. Will the duke …"
The young man in the brocade robe had a fierce look in his eyes. "Mind your own business. I'll take care of her. Since you're here, don't think of leaving. Hmm, you're called Geesika? "He turned around and asked pleasantly.
"Yes." Geesika's heart trembled. She vaguely knew that she might be in a bad situation.
"You're not bad looking. Come with me, Bogen. Make arrangements for her family. Don't cause any trouble."
"Sir, I beg you …"
The young man in the brocade robe interrupted Geesika and said, "Don't say anymore. As long as you're obedient, I'll let you go in two or three years at most. I don't want today's incident to spread. "
"Sir, I swear I won't tell anyone." Geesika was so anxious that she cried. She still had parents to take care of at home. If she left with the duke's son, no matter how nice he made it sound, she wouldn't have freedom in the future. "
"Only the dead keep secrets. Geesika, don't be discontented. Your family is in Pompeii."
Salin chased them to the square. Rex landed on her feet, but she didn't slow down. Seeing that Salin and Neris had caught up, she said in a low voice, "Let's go back to the dock."
"Just like that?"
"That person is up to no good. I wouldn't be worried if he had a conflict with me directly. If we don't leave now, something might happen. " Rex regretted revealing her identity now. She didn't think that Dominic's son would have evil intentions after knowing her identity. She felt a serious sense of danger this time. She couldn't fight against Pompeii's power here.
Rex didn't care about shocking the world. She cast Wind Speed along the way and brought Salin and Neris back to the dock. Finding the ship that Salin had hired, Rex was surprised to see dozens of soldiers on the ship, surrounding Sicar. Both sides were at daggers drawn.
"What's the matter!" Salin walked up the gangplank, afraid that Sicar would hurt someone.
"Salin!" Seeing that Salin had returned, Sicar suddenly had a backbone. Not only did these soldiers check the goods on the ship, but they also wanted to check her. If Salin didn't return soon, she would make a move.
"Sir Mage." Seeing that Salin had brought two beautiful women over, the soldiers didn't dare to delay and bowed.
"This is my friend. Is there a misunderstanding between you two?" Salin didn't allow the soldiers to speak and questioned first.
The leading officer thought for a moment and said to Salin, "It's not a misunderstanding. She couldn't provide identification just now, so we want to check."
"I can vouch for her. You can go." Salin saw that Rex was in a hurry and didn't waste any more time.
"Of course we can trust a mage, but …" The officer looked a little troubled. Salin smiled and took out five gold coins, stuffing them in his hand. "This is on everyone's drink."
The officer accepted the gold coins calmly and glanced at Sicar. "Sir Mage, Pompeii is very strict. Don't leave her alone." With that, he waved his hand and waited for the soldiers to walk up the gangplank and leave Salin's ship.
Salin waved over a sailor who was watching from afar and asked, "Where's the captain?"
"He's entered the city, sir …"
"It's fine. You guys go ahead." Salin dismissed the sailor and turned to Rex. "This ship can't leave immediately. What should we do?"
"Prepare the horses. We'll go by land." Rex didn't hesitate. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong.
The sailors didn't dare to stop Salin and the rest. They could only let them take the horses from the ship and watch as Rex and the other three left. Less than an hour after Rex and the rest left, a large group of soldiers came to the dock. This time, the leader was a senior officer. After asking the sailors carefully, the officer got anxious when he heard that Rex and the rest had left for an hour. He ordered his men to get on the horses and chase in the direction that Rex had left.
Rex urged the horse forward. Salin felt that she was being paranoid. Would Castellan Pang Pei make a move? Even if Emperor Chanak was dead, Rex was still part of the Glücos royal family, and her brother was the current emperor. Making a move on Rex would be disrespectful to the royal family.
Pang Pei City, the duke's mansion.
Duke Dominica's face was gloomy. In front of him was the youth in the brocade robe who was pestering Rex.
