As usual, Winter went to the mid-level Mage to get new magic books and notes, and brought them back to his office. He was in charge of these things that only low-level Mages could read. A quarter of the books that low-level Mages wanted to borrow in the palace had to go through him.
Rex wasn't here, but Winter still decided to kidnap the female Mage in the Magic Tower.
Anyway, the people of Great Liang City all said that the female Mage was Rex. He couldn't use any divine spells to spy outside the Magic Tower, or he would be immediately discovered by a level-8 Mage. And he couldn't attack a level-8 Magic Tower alone. Mistaking someone else was reasonable. As long as there was no problem with logic, his operation this time still didn't violate the deal between him and Dinicio.
Once this female Mage was kidnapped, Rex would definitely be alerted and wouldn't appear in a dangerous place again. Then he couldn't do anything, and Dinicio could only watch.
Thinking of this, Winter smiled happily.
Just like that, Winter stayed outside the Magic Tower for another month, and the opportunity finally came.
Because Rex advanced to a level-9 Magic Shooter, the hint of danger she felt was gone, so she showed up in Metatlin City instead of using the transmission magic formation to spread the news in Great Liang City.
Isabella's role became dispensable, but she advanced and could go to the Castle of Bones.
The Castle of Bones had always been garrisoned by the undead. The human army had long withdrawn and entered the city built by the Cloud Flow people on the coast. Yun Liu escaped cleanly, starting strong but ending weak, just like that 9th Rank High Mage.
A country, a race, a type of temperament were all hard to understand.
The Kushui Prefectural Kingdom picked up half of the city for free. When they attacked this city, the Cloud Flow people put up some simple resistance. Half of the facilities in the city were destroyed in the battle. After the battle, the city was also repaired. Because it was too close to the sea, it became a relatively important defensive position for the Kushui Prefectural Kingdom.
Isabella's mission was to build a Magic Tower.
To build a Magic Tower with more than six floors, one would need at least a Magic Shooter. Someone with insufficient experience would not be able to build a Magic Tower even with a blueprint, unless that person could use Figaro's Magic Formula as quickly as Salin.
In Great Liang City, Isabella was the only newly advanced Magic Shooter. The others all had their own Magic Towers. So the task fell on Isabella's shoulders.
Isabella said goodbye to Stephanie and walked out of the Magic Tower. Outside the Magic Tower were the low-level Mages and swordsmen who were going to leave with her. The apprentices and workers were all waiting outside the city. Isabella couldn't help but stretch again. The space inside the Mage Tower was not small, but she had been staying there all year round. Only when she walked out of the Mage Tower did she feel at ease.
Isabella also didn't ride a horse. Great Liang City had prepared a magic chariot. Of course, it was not a real magic chariot, it was just a replica. Even the Bitter Water Prefecture didn't have the ability to mass-produce such advanced equipment.
The convoy quickly went out of the city. The roads of Great Liang City had long been repaired. The big hole that was smashed by the catapult was now not visible at all. After filling the stone, it was plastered with mud. With the help of the magician's Petrification Spell, the slate ground did not have any bumps.
Inside the palace, in Winter's room, two white-robed wizards stared blankly at the empty room. They wondered, "Where's Gold? Where did it go? "
The two low-level Mages held the magic notes they wanted to return. They didn't know why the Mage who never left usually suddenly disappeared.
After Isabella's car left Great Liang City, it went all the way south. After driving for about fifty miles, there was a huge rock blocking the road in front of the road.
Isabella keenly sensed the danger. Who would move a five-meter-high rock on the road? Even magic puppets couldn't move such a heavy rock.
The escort force of this team was a mixed flag regiment. Among the thousand soldiers, most were light cavalry, and most of the weapons in their hands were crossbows. Because Cloud Flow's people had retreated, Great Liang City had become the rear. So this time, Isabella didn't arrange any powerful force to protect her.
"Who is it?" Isabella said in the car, her voice spread far across the plain.
"It's me." On the huge rock, a figure suddenly appeared. This person was wearing golden armor. There were two pieces of mesh on the front of the helmet, so that people inside could see clearly outside. The mesh was inlaid with gems, like the compound eyes of insects.
Seeing this person appear, the cavalrymen raised their crossbows. However, Isabella shouted, "Stop!"
On the rock was Winter. He was planning to kill, but hearing Isabella's words, he stopped and said, "Fortunately, you're smart. If they don't attack, I won't kill anyone. But you have to come with me. "
"Come with you? Why? " Isabella was only trying to buy time. She tried to open a level-eight scroll in the magic chariot.
"Because …" Winter suddenly pulled out his sword and flew down from the rock. His speed was terrifyingly fast, even faster than the speed of an arrow. He covered a distance of more than a hundred meters in the blink of an eye. Then, Winter's sword struck the top of the magic chariot. The magic chariot was enveloped in white light and split into two halves.
"This is the will of His Holiness." After saying the second half of the sentence, Winter snatched the scroll from Isabella's hand with his left hand and threw it on the ground. Then, he held Isabella's hand and flew into the air. While flying, he didn't forget to say to Isabella, "If you dare to use magic on me, I'll stab you with my sword."
Isabella turned pale with fright. She didn't even dare to take out the dagger in her bracelet, let alone magic. She knew very well how powerful this man was. Even without his equipment, he was definitely stronger than Stephanie.
This golden-armored guy could fly with a person and talk calmly. Isabella also couldn't feel the wind in the sky. Isabella could clearly calculate that the two of them were flying at more than 180 kilometers per hour.
After flying for half an hour, Winter suddenly asked, "What's your name?"
Isabella didn't speak. Winter tightened his hand. Isabella didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You said that it was the pope's will to capture me. Did the pope ask you to capture a random person?"
"He asked me to capture Rex. Obviously, you're not."
Isabella suddenly felt that she was really unlucky. This person was so powerful, but he actually recognized the wrong person … No, he didn't recognize the wrong person!
"Rex is in Metatlin City. Let him go. Go find him yourself. I'm just a small mage. There's no point in capturing me."
"Small mage? A level-7 High Mage. " Winter refused to let go. The two of them were a thousand meters high in the sky. It was very dangerous for a High Mage like Isabella who hadn't completely mastered flying. Thus, Isabella didn't dare to struggle. If he let go, it would be hard to say if she could adapt to using flying magic in the sky.
"You want to bring me back to Tanggulas?" Isabella saw that Winter didn't yell at her fiercely and didn't do anything to hurt her, so she took the opportunity to ask about Winter's background.
"Of course not. I just thought that since you're a captive, I have to get something out of you if I let you go."
"You … are a knight!" Isabella mustered her courage. She could see that this person was a knight of the Vatican. His rank was too high, and she couldn't tell which order of knights he belonged to.
Knights shouldn't say such things.
"Thank you for the compliment. Let's take a break. " Winter said and suddenly descended. Because he was so fast, Isabella felt like her heart was going to jump out of her throat. She might be the first High Mage to want to vomit because of flying.
Winter accurately landed on the top of a small hill with Isabella. This place was only a few meters in radius. Because it was too low, there were some bird droppings on it. It seemed that birds often landed here.
"Sit." Winter pointed to the ground covered in bird droppings.
Isabella had no choice but to use a Cleaning Spell. Then, she sat down and looked at Winter.
Winter slowly pushed up his visor, revealing his face. Seeing Isabella staring at his face, Winter smiled. "You won't recognize me. Those who know me, except for the Pope, are all dead."
"You're a Divine Kingdom Knight?" Isabella knew that she couldn't escape from this person, so she simply continued to ask in order to learn more.
"You're from Tanggulas, right? Why are you mingling with the people of Daliang City?" Although Winter was surprised that this High Mage finally recognized his original profession from his armor, he didn't intend to answer this question.
Isabella didn't answer either. She herself didn't know why she was mingling with the people of Daliang City. She should be returning to Metatlin City. If she was in Metatlin City, she definitely wouldn't have been kidnapped.
"Don't refuse to answer me too often, or I'll get angry." Winter smiled at Isabella.
"Sorry, even if she's a captive, a Mage can only answer questions that she's willing to answer." Isabella had Salin's contract, so she could only bite the bullet and speak to Winter in this tone that was courting death.
"If it was in the past, I would be happy to destroy your dignity, but … I just feel bored now. It doesn't mean that I won't do it. Your name! "
"Isabella."
"Alright then, Isabella. Tell me, why hasn't Rex returned to Daliang City?" Winter was very interested in this question. Although Rex and Sala got together, this was the capital of the Kushui Prefectural Kingdom. The military plans of the Kushui Prefectural Kingdom were all completed here, and so were the mobilization of resources. Rex shouldn't have left such an important place, and for such a long time.
Isabella thought to herself, how would I know? However, she analyzed, "There are many Magic Shooters in Metatlin City. Rex is also a Mage, so she must have gone to seek advice on magic."
"Makes sense, but it's a lie. So many Magic Shooters have appeared in Metatlin City. They're probably guarding something. Hehe, I don't have the ability to go now. After I advance, we'll go find Rex. "
"You have to bring me along!"
