"Your Excellency." Salin waited for a moment, but he still couldn't stand the silence in the room and called out.
The woman seemed to be lost in thought. Hearing Salin's call, she smiled lightly. "Your Excellency? Heh, I haven't heard such a title for a long time. You're not from Qinyin, right? Come to the front. "
Salin turned to the front of the table. He didn't dare to make any sudden movements, so he obediently sat down on the floor.
After taking a glance at the woman, Salin's eyes fell on the table. This was the princess, the daughter of the emperor. Salin's hurried glance didn't allow him to see the princess's face clearly. He only vaguely felt that this princess was even more beautiful than Neris's Goddess of Nature.
The princess fiddled with the badge Salin brought and still didn't speak. Salin could only wait. Neris and Sicar also stood at the door, somewhat at a loss of what to do.
Since entering the princess's residence, Salin vaguely felt that danger was everywhere. There were only four people in this room, but Salin felt that more eyes were staring at him. His perception couldn't detect the location of the hidden person. He only knew that if he wanted to harm the princess, even if he used instant magic, he wouldn't be able to cause any harm to the princess.
"Luo Qi is dead." The princess finally spoke. Salin raised his head. The princess's cheeks were slightly thin, her skin crystal clear. There was some regret in her eyes.
"If Your Excellency is talking about the owner of the badge, he is indeed dead. I still don't know his name." Salin thought to himself. Just as he thought, these nobles wouldn't care about the death of one of their subordinates. This princess didn't feel sad at all. Thinking of the Qinyin swordsman's warning before he died, Salin felt vaguely sad.
"What did he say before he died?" The princess asked lightly.
Salin almost wanted to keep the green dragon magic core, but considering that he could avoid danger in Kushui Prefecture, he could only say, "He asked me to give this to you."
As Salin spoke, he took out the box with the green dragon magic core from his leather bag. He didn't dare to use the Bestowed Ring in front of the princess. Salin had already thought about it. The Qinyin Empire was full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. There were probably many masters in Kushui Prefecture. It was better to keep a low profile.
"What is this?" The princess was curious.
Salin put the box on the table and opened it facing him. Strong mana fluctuations immediately filled the room, but not a single strand of it spilled out of the window. When the box was opened, Salin felt a slight change in the surroundings of the room. There were people hiding in every corner, even on the roof.
Especially the person on the roof, who instantly erupted with a strong killing intent. Salin believed that if his chest was opened by the princess, this person would kill him first regardless of the reason. He couldn't get rid of this lock, and it wasn't a magic lock. Salin had never encountered such a strong crisis before.
Sword Qi locked onto him! Could it be that the person on the roof was a Sword Saint?
When facing a Sword Master, Salin could still rely on Shika's cooperation and the mutation of his magic to launch a sneak attack. If he were to face a Sword Saint, he would probably be killed in an instant.
Neris and Shika were both extremely sensitive to danger. Neris's hair stood up in an instant. She took half a step back and leaned against the wall. Shika's hand gripped the boomerang. His muscles were as hard as steel, but he could not draw the weapon.
This killing intent locked onto three people at the same time and disappeared in an instant.
Salin turned the box as if he didn't feel it. The light of the green dragon magic core shone on the princess' perfect face. It was a bit demonic.
The princess suddenly sighed and said, "Dragon core? His death was really not worth it. "
Salin was silent. He also felt that Loki's death was not worth it. A lifetime of loyalty in exchange for a sigh.
"What's your name?" The princess didn't seem to care about the dragon core and looked at Salin.
"Salin Metatlin."
"Metatlin? I think it's an ancient family. "The princess pondered and seemed to remember seeing the records of this family in the Royal Academy. "Well, are you going to stay or go back to Scotia?"
"Stay?" Salin pretended not to understand.
The princess reached out and closed the lid of the box. She said, "Stay and be my personal mage. You will learn a lot. Consider it my gratitude."
Damn, even the reward was said to be so touching. Salin looked at the princess's smooth, crystalline nails and was moved. He really wanted to reach out and touch them. But if he really reached out, the person on the roof would probably cut his hand off immediately.
Salin felt very strange. He didn't know if he really liked the princess's beauty or if he had a desire to do it because of the disparity in their statuses. Luckily, he had received training from the badge. He could ensure that his muscles wouldn't tremble under any stimulation. His expression was also as cold as an iceberg.
"Sir, I have two companions."
"What level are you?" The princess suddenly asked.
"I'm already at level two." Salin had started learning level-two spells recently, but he couldn't practice frequently during the journey. Although his battle strength was higher than a level-one mage, he couldn't be considered as a peak level-two mage.
"A level-two mage with two followers is fine too. I have three mage squads with me. Your level is too low, so you can't join the combat mage squad. You probably don't want to be a follower either. Be a life mage. "
Salin didn't know what a life mage did. He was a bit confused.
"Sir …"
"You can call me princess from now on. Salin, you're a level-two mage at such a young age. Do you have a teacher? "
"Yes."
"Then I can't teach you. You can borrow all the low-level magic books in the mansion."
Salin was surprised by the princess's words. She was going to teach him? Was the princess a mage too? To teach a level-two mage, one had to be at least at the level of a great mage. This princess was only a bit older than him. Were the people of the Qinyin Empire all magic geniuses?
"I'm Rex. When you mention me in front of outsiders … Forget it, I'm the only princess in the empire. Lynch! "
The level-one mage who had been waiting outside the door walked in and answered with his hands hanging down, "Princess."
"Take the three of them to the backyard. Tell Fayern and arrange a position for them."
"Yes." Lynch answered with his head lowered, afraid that the princess would see the jealousy in his eyes. This Salin had just entered the mansion, and he was already working under Sir Fayern. This made him very depressed.
Princess Rex picked up the bowl of soup and took a sip. After Lynch left with Salin and the rest, she tapped the table lightly with her fingers. She looked at the small box with the green dragon magic core in front of her and fell into deep thought.
"Byrne," Princess Rex called softly. In the shadow under the window, a figure slowly appeared.
He had been hiding in the shadow. Even when the green dragon magic core released the magic wave, he didn't have any reaction. Salin noticed the person on the roof, but didn't notice him.
"Do you think this little mage is a spy?"
"No."
"Why?" Princess Rex frowned, looking even more delicate.
"Princess, you already know. Why ask me?" Byrne's face was pale. He was wearing black clothes that stuck tightly to his body. There wasn't a trace of burdensome. This was the standard attire of an assassin. However, he didn't have a dagger in his hand. Instead, he wore two rings like a mage.
"Just say it." Princess Rex laughed. In an instant, the room was filled with light.
Byrne acted as if he didn't see it. He replied, "The Scottinyan people can't be spies. They can change their faith for money at any time."
"But Father said that money is also a kind of faith."
Byrne didn't refute, but answered seriously, "If you think it's suspicious, I will go and kill them now."
Princess Rex sneered and said, "No need. Let's keep them for now. A little mage can't do much. But … do you remember the surname Metatlin? "
Byrne thought about it seriously and replied, "It should be a family from the Fourth Dynasty. It has been declining for a long time."
"Send someone to investigate later. His teacher should be a powerful figure."
Byrne's heart skipped a beat. Those who could be described as powerful by Princess Rex were all extraordinary geniuses. The princess was smart. Even if there was something wrong with Salin, she should have investigated thoroughly before taking action. He was already a level-two mage at such a young age. This Salin's background was indeed strange.
"Byrne, how old is your daughter?" Princess Rex didn't continue this topic. Instead, she asked about Byrne's family.
"Princess, she's eight years old."
"Do you plan to let her follow your path?"
Byrne was silent for a moment and said, "No."
"Hmm. Then hire a teacher for her. It's not bad to be a mage. Give this to her." Princess Rex pushed the small box and gestured for Byrne to keep it. She was calm as if she had just given him a stone.
Byrne kept the box and said hesitantly, "Princess, I heard that there are black mages in Phoenix."
"I know. What's wrong?"
"Why don't you ask everyone from the swordsman camp to come back?"
"No need. Black mages are no longer a threat. Want to fight their way to Kushui Commandery? What a joke. "Princess Rex's voice was calm, but there was an indescribable pride in it.
"If it's the prince …"
"How dare you!" A hint of coldness flashed across Princess Rex's face, and her calm temperament disappeared immediately. Byrne felt that his whole body was locked by the princess's pressure. His cold sweat was suppressed in his body. He was already a level-seven assassin 10 years ago. However, Princess Rex's rebuke completely dispersed the sword aura in his body.
This was neither magic nor martial arts. It was a secret technique passed down by the royal family.
Princess Rex's expression gradually eased. She said to Byrne, "I know you are worried about my safety. However, if he dares to do anything, he would have done it long ago. He wouldn't have asked me to come to Kushui Commandery. With the teacher here, you don't have to worry about anything. Byrne, you have a family now. Be careful with what you say in the future. "
Byrne broke out in cold sweat, but he regained his freedom. Princess Rex waved her hand and said, "I'm tired. I won't go to school today. You can go."
