The sun was setting, and it was already afternoon.
Whoosh!
The girl in hunting attire stepped on a gust of wind and slowly landed on the ground. She took off the green peridot ring on her left pinky finger.
She gently shook the simple and elegant silver bracelet on her left wrist, and the ring disappeared.
At this time, after using several "gem witchcraft" in a row, she finally got rid of the ghouls behind her.
Tap … tap … tap …
Taking a step forward, he leisurely walked into the coastal port city of Concord, which was also the administrative capital of the Faletis Royal Colony of Cabusher.
As she walked, her appearance, body shape, and even her clothes began to change.
She wore a pink dress, a veil hat, high heels, and a small suitcase. She put away all the conspicuous accessories on her body, leaving only the silver bracelet on her slender left wrist.
The precious disguise tool called "Mask of Deception" not only helped her disguise her appearance and adjust her body shape, but even her clothes were completely changed from the inside out.
It was a must-have for lazy people.
At this time, she was like a normal passenger about to take a boat trip, not attracting attention at all.
"Phew! Finally got rid of them, right? "
Looking at the calm harbor city, the girl patted her chest and let out a sigh of relief.
However, she knew that now was not the time to let down her guard. Although she could not see the shadows of the pursuers, as long as they were on land, they could catch up at any time.
She had to leave by boat as soon as possible. As long as she was on the vast sea, it would not be so easy for them to track her.
As long as she could go south and return to the Far Sail Territory, no matter how many pursuers there were, she would not be afraid.
However, when she just arrived at the port, before she could buy a ticket to go out to sea, she found that there was a large number of navy soldiers blocking the port. She could only enter, but not leave.
"Everyone, don't panic. We have received orders to cooperate with the neighboring Ilya Kingdom to search for fugitives. It won't take long, so please calm down."
Coincidentally, a group of Faletis soldiers passed by her. They marched in formation while shouting to the panicked crowd.
However, although he responded to their request for the sake of his allies, the governor of Kabushil obviously did not want to get too involved in the current troublesome political situation of the Ilya Kingdom.
Who knows if he's a real fugitive or a political enemy?
Sending soldiers to explain the situation to the people was not only to appease them, but also to inform the so-called "fugitives" to run. Ilya's men were about to arrive.
As long as you don't cause trouble in our territory, you can go anywhere!
"How could he be so fast?!
I know what kind of abilities Ghouls have.
Their sense of smell was 60 times that of a human's, and their sense of hearing was 20 times that of a human's.
But when I was running … retreating, I've already used the necessary deodorant for adventurers. Besides, False Face is supposed to be able to block my scent. "
Although the young lady did not know how they were certain that she had come to Concord, she knew that she had provoked a major force. If she was not careful, she would stir up a hornet's nest and lead to a full-scale pursuit.
Unless he revealed his identity to the governor, the governor would definitely favor Ilya as an ally, even if it was just a superficial alliance.
After sealing the port, he would no longer be able to leave this place by boat according to his original plan.
However, if he were to travel on land, without knowing how the other party was tracking him, it was very likely that he would be blocked for no reason.
At this thought, the young lady could not help but think of a possibility. She shook her head in frustration.
"Could it be that one of these supernatural creatures has awakened a special racial talent? Olivia, you might be in big trouble this time. "
These ghouls that took human form originally lived in the deserts of the eastern part of the Old Continent. Their base was located in the desert kingdom of Heimar. They were terrifying man-eating monsters that could transform into both human and hyena forms.
Most importantly, they were also intelligent creatures. They could use schemes to lure and kill humans. It was also possible that they had awakened innate spells similar to those of adepts or magical creatures.
For these creatures that were adept at tracking, it was entirely possible that they had awakened some sort of unreasonable tracking ability. This put Olivia in a difficult position.
"Do I really have to reveal my identity to the governor and ask for protection?"
Just as the girl standing on the pier was hesitating, she suddenly saw three people walking towards her.
A well-dressed middle-aged gentleman and his butler, as well as a harmless-looking, round-faced youth who was about the same height as her.
However, when the middle-aged gentleman in the lead spoke to the round-faced youth with a straight face, Olivia immediately realized that her guess was very wrong.
"Rody! I will not allow you to use my name to do as you please in the colony. Even the native slaves are the kingdom's property. Being a foreign race is not a reason for you to kill them as you wish!
Moreover, the maids in the manor are also free citizens. They are protected by the kingdom's laws. They are not objects that you can toy with and humiliate as you wish.
The officer reserve qualification of the 'Storm Horn' is the last financial support I can give you. It is enough for my poor cousin who has already left for the Goddess' divine kingdom. "
The middle-aged gentleman took one last look at his unlikable nephew who was still smiling in front of him. He then said, "You can go on your own.
I hope you can change your attitude when you face that Brigadier General. Otherwise, no one will be able to help you anymore.
If you are lucky enough to get an official position, it can be considered as an explanation to the ancestors of the Yalman family. "
Having said that, he turned and left without any hesitation.
After today, he would completely sever his relationship with this nephew of his.
Hodge Jeremiah felt that he had gone against his principles to clean up his nephew's mess for him countless times. He had even arranged for him to have a bright future. He could already be considered extremely benevolent.
The round-faced young man, Rody Yalman, took the salutation box handed over by the butler with a smile and shouted at his uncle's back.
"Uncle, don't worry. I will return to repay you after I get promoted and become rich with the help of that Brigadier General's relationship.
Before that, you must not marry my cousin off to anyone else! "
The moment he said that, even the white-haired butler could not help but cast a sidelong glance at him.
Just how self-righteous and ignorant did this fellow have to be to be able to say something like that?
Others might not know, but as the butler, how could he not know this fellow's nature?
This round-faced little fatty with a big smile on his face looked harmless to humans and animals, but his mind was even more vicious and lawless than a vicious pirate!
His family had fallen from grace due to his childhood misfortune. After he came to the old master's manor, the change in his identity caused a psychological reversal.
In the beginning, he was just a little mischievous and often played pranks on the servants at home. As he grew older, especially after he obtained the qualifications to cultivate extraordinary swordsmanship, he often used the slaves in the colony to test his swordsmanship.
Although he was young, he was already notorious among the Atrian slaves in the colony.
However, although the colony had laws, there was no protection clause for slaves. Even if he killed someone, he only needed to compensate the master for the loss.
As for the number of maids in the manor who had been humiliated by him, he did not change even after repeated warnings!
Until his master, Mr. Hodge Jeremiah, felt that this could not go on. If this fellow who had no regard for human life was left alone, sooner or later, he would inevitably cause a disaster that even he could not bear.
He happened to hear that the kingdom's "Navy Rising Star", General Elvin, needed to replenish the crew on his ship, so he shamelessly sent this fellow up, hoping that the strict management of the navy would make him turn over a new leaf.
I didn't expect him to still be thinking about the young mistress.
The butler shook his head and left him with a sentence.
"You're on your own."
Then, he left with his master.
They were already far away, but they did not hear it. The round-faced young man behind them, waving goodbye like an obedient child, muttered softly.
"Bah! If it weren't for your property, I wouldn't want such an ugly daughter even if you gave me one! "
Olivia, who happened to be next to him, heard his words clearly. She could not help but turn her head to take a look. What kind of weirdo was this?
However, in addition to seeing a fair-skinned young man with a decent appearance, the girl also saw the city entrance in the direction of Concord, far away from the port.
A group of at least twenty people wearing linen geometrical hooded robes with pale faces and cold temperaments walked in.
Tap … tap … tap … tap …
Olivia's heart instantly panicked. Just as her brain was spinning rapidly to think of a way out.
"Ah, beautiful young mistress, hello! I'm Rowdy Yarman, is it convenient for us to get to know each other? "
It was the little fatty who saw the girl who was disguised, but still beautiful and generous, and immediately came to strike up a conversation with her.
Olivia, who was in no mood to pay attention to him, was about to turn around and leave with her suitcase, but she heard him continue.
"The one who just sent me here is my uncle, a plantation owner of the Cabusher Colony, a member of the House of Lords, and also a member of the governor's council.
I have already obtained the rank of warrant officer, and will soon board the battleship 'Storm Horn' as a naval officer.
In the future, I will also become a big shot, and even replace the lucky guy who was lucky enough to become a general because of his identity as a Knight of the Crown Prince. "
Like a rooster seeking a mate, he was desperately showing off his feathers, but he could not mention any of his own merits.
Olivia's footsteps paused when she heard this. She looked up at the battleship docked at the port and suddenly had an idea.
She said to this guy who looked bad and weird, but was not very smart.
"Oh, Mr. Rowdy, is it? If you're going to board the ship for service, why are you still chatting here? Aren't you afraid that the officer will have a problem with you? "
As she spoke, she flipped her left hand and secretly took out a pure white crystal from her bracelet.
"Hehe, the ship just arrived today.
My name has already been reported, and the garrison headquarters has also issued an order. They have to wait for a warrant officer like me to board the ship no matter what. So what if I'm a little late?
Besides, I'm with a beautiful lady like you. I wonder if it's convenient for you to have dinner with me? I know a very good hotel. "
Rowdy did not notice and said proudly.
"You want to treat me to a meal?"
"Ha, don't misunderstand, I just want to be friends."
The pure white crystal was used for [Malice Detection].
It was differentiated by the color and intensity of the light, from white (goodwill) to red (malice).
"Ugh, lies and malice, it's so red it's almost turning black. This guy is really hopeless, and I don't have to feel any psychological burden. "
Olivia was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. She flipped her left hand again, and the white crystal was replaced with a cat's eye bracelet.
She waved it in front of the young man.
[Witchcraft — Enchantment]
"Alright, I agree, follow me."
She carried her suitcase and walked towards the alley by the port. The round-faced young man did not hesitate, and his eyes were slightly unfocused as he followed closely behind.
In the "School of Gemstones", accessories embedded with different types of gemstones had various magical effects. Gemstones could store a wizard's magic power and all the spells they knew, and could be accumulated over a long period of time in exchange for a sudden burst of power.
To a certain extent, this made the wizards of this school a kind of all-rounder.
However, permanent gemstones were very rare. Most of the gemstone's use of witchcraft would deplete the mysterious properties of the gemstone, and in the end, it would become an ordinary gemstone with no effect, or even shatter directly.
Only when the wizard used the "Life Gemstone" to cast spells, would the gemstone not be damaged. However, Olivia's "Life Gemstone" was mainly used for spiritual purification, and did not have any combat ability.
Therefore, Lady Moonlight Stone was rich, but she was also poor because no matter how much money she had, it was not enough to spend …
A moment later.
When the ghouls led by the white-haired, blue-eyed young man had searched the port, the round-faced young man, Rowdy Arman, walked out of the alley alone.
However, compared to before, he had changed into a new set of clothes. It was the same style as the brand new warrant officer's uniform in his luggage. His posture was tall and straight, and his temperament was completely different from before.
Then, without hesitation, he walked straight to the berth of the "Storm Horn".
