Roland, however, found it absurd. "This is the capital, and you're a princess. How can you think that you're not safe here?"
As they walked, Evelyn said with a bitter smile, "The royal family is not as powerful as you think. Our father is not a pope who controls everything. In fact, we're just a powerful noble family. Many nobles are as powerful as the royal family. The forces in the capital are complicated. Too many people are malicious to us. "
Evelyn was speaking the truth. The royal family was not a force that did whatever they wanted.
For example, the Association of Mages even kidnapped the queen last time.
It was not an exaggeration for a faction to dare to poison a princess or ambush a princess.
"Fine." Roland opened the quest menu. He had just received a notification about a new quest.
He opened it and saw that the quest had a green name.
Quest received: Protect Princess Evelyn Hollevin to the royal palace.
It was indeed dangerous. Roland found that the quest did not have much of an introduction. It was basically the same as the quest name. However, he still felt that something was not right.
He turned off the quest menu and looked at the men in black around him. Evelyn was wearing black clothes and robes, and Roland's bright green magic robe was rather eye-catching.
"Do you have more black robes like this? Can you give me one?" Roland asked Evelyn. "Otherwise, it's not easy for me to hide among you."
"Mr. Morahu, do you have more?" Evelyn asked in a low voice.
One of the men in black robes turned around. "Your Highness, I'm sorry, but we can't bring too many clothes with us."
The princess addressed a man in black robes respectfully?
Was he not one of her subordinates, but a foreign aid?
But then, Roland thought it through. Evelyn was a princess who was about to be married. All she needed to do was to live her life in Isnas. She didn't need any private soldiers!
Then, Roland took out a black magic robe from his system Backpack.
It was just a magic robe, not a piece of magic equipment. Vivian had prepared them for him. In fact, he had a few magic robes in other colors in his system Backpack, except that some of the colors were too flashy.
For example, white and red.
While following them, Roland put on a black magic robe.
Although the style was different from the people around him, at least the color was the same. In addition, it was night time, and from a distance, it looked almost the same. It was an excellent camouflage.
None of them cared that Roland had changed into a black robe. In fact, it seemed to suit them better.
After walking for a while, the leader suddenly turned right.
Evelyn's body slightly paused, but Roland was walking next to her. Also, as a Mage, his mental power and reaction speed were much higher than that of ordinary people, so he sensed it.
Roland looked in the direction of the royal palace, then at the front of him, and asked casually, "This doesn't seem to be the direction of the royal palace."
"Let's take a detour. The enemy might ambush us in front of the palace."
This was indeed a very reasonable reason.
Evelyn's body relaxed.
But Roland didn't. He didn't suspect anything, but he simply felt that it would take a lot longer to get to the destination if they took a long detour, and they were moving at a high speed, as if they were rushing forward without thinking.
Even if he was in a hurry, this was too unplanned. What if there was an ambush here?
Roland dropped two magic spiders.
There would always be magic waves when one used a spell. The only difference was the magnitude.
Although the waves created by the magic spiders were small, everybody could sense them since they were crammed together.
As it turned out, the moment the magic spiders landed, Morahu, the leader at the front, immediately turned around. His face was hidden behind the black mask, and only his brown eyes were glittering in the darkness.
"Mr. Mage, what's the meaning of this?"
Everybody else stopped and looked at Roland.
"I'm just checking if there are enemies up ahead," Roland said casually. "We're moving too fast. We'd better be cautious."
"Don't do anything unnecessary and behave yourself," Morahu said angrily. "What if your magic waves alarm the enemy?"
Roland frowned. "The magic waves created by the spiders can't even be more than two meters away. If they can alarm the enemy, the enemy will be right under our noses … Hehe. Is it you?"
Roland had only made a casual remark because he was pissed off at the guy's attitude.
However, he didn't expect that the atmosphere, or rather, the vibe, of everybody changed after he said that.
Roland was now level six, and he was a traditional Mage with high intelligence and high spirit. He immediately sensed that something was wrong.
Morahu, who was staring at him, beamed out shocking killing intent.
F * ck!
The curse echoed in Roland's head.
Their target wasn't Veronica at all, but Evelyn.
Poisoning Veronica was only a way to lure Evelyn out of Isnas.
No wonder Evelyn, a princess to be married, could get the antidote. Roland immediately understood what he thought was wrong.
However, he didn't know what a princess to be married was worth.
Puppet summoning and transformation.
Roland desperately mobilized his mental power, trying to summon the shield-wielding puppets as fast as possible.
The enemy, on the other hand, had already extended their right hands to their robes. Then, Roland saw the dazzling reflection of their weapons.
Faster … The tip of the enemy's dagger was already clearly visible.
Roland watched helplessly as the dagger stabbed toward his forehead. At this moment, his mind was completely faster than his body's instinctive reaction.
After level six … His mental power finally had a qualitative breakthrough.
Although his body quality was still not as good as that of a Warrior, or even an Agility class, his mind was much faster.
Everything around him was moving in slow motion.
As if he were watching a slow-motion movie, the enemy's arm was slowly straightened, and the tip of the dagger reflected the silver moonlight. The bright reflection moved back as the dagger advanced.
When the dagger was thirty centimeters away from Roland's forehead, a blue figure grew out of the ground at an even faster speed and blocked in front of Roland.
Ding … Roland's instant casting was faster.
The shield-wielding puppet blocked Roland's way.
Although Morahu's attack was blocked, the other black-robed men around him began to attack too.
The other two magic puppets were summoned at the same time. The three puppets surrounded Roland and Evelyn in a triangular formation.
The enemy's attacks were temporarily blocked out, but the continuous clanging sounds continued to ring out, and the blue color of the three dolls faded at an extremely fast speed.
"Excuse me!"
Roland picked up Evelyn, who was still in a daze, in a princess carry.
