"No, I won't sell it to you."
The person who spoke stood in front of the prince and the others. It was a merchant with gold teeth. Beside him were some tall and strong people who looked like they were not to be trifled with.
Eli took a deep breath and said, "I believe we can reach an agreement."
As he spoke, he took out a few gold coins from his pocket.
A few minutes later, Prince Eli opened a sack. It was full of wheat.
He grabbed a handful of wheat and let it fall in his hand. His eyes kept looking at them.
Soon, he took out another sack from his pocket. After opening it, there was still some wheat inside. He compared them and found that … they were surprisingly similar in color and size.
Now it was confirmed that the wheat of the Kalis Empire was shipped out from here. The mystery of why so many merchants suddenly had grain products was also solved.
A large amount of money flowed here. Eli felt uneasy just thinking about it. He had to go back as soon as possible and investigate this place clearly. He also had to figure out where the grain was produced here.
But the most important thing for them now was …
"Let's go. Leave this place."
He hurriedly said. The guards understood and looked around. Those fellows who were hiding in the surroundings were starting to get restless. If they continued to stay here, it would be very dangerous.
The prince and his party quickened their pace. They walked out of the market. Their expressions became nervous. Now they looked at everyone and felt that the other party was going to attack them.
Just as they were about to leave the town, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of everyone. He was dressed in black and had a bamboo hat on his head. He was wrapped tightly.
"Black Shadow!"
The prince said in a low voice. This name was given by him.
His eyes darkened. He looked at the other party, wanting to know what they were going to do.
The moment the man in black appeared, the surrounding passersby consciously distanced themselves from here. The shops also closed their doors. Eli could be sure that the man in black was the manager here. They ruled this town and were even related to the heroes of the Kalis Empire.
"Where did you come from?"
The other party suddenly asked.
"May I ask who you are?"
Eli asked back. The soldiers behind him silently reached their hands behind their waists. Some black shadows appeared on the surrounding roofs and alleys.
"Guardian of this place, we suspect that you have dangerous goods on you. Please don't resist and come with us."
"I don't understand. Isn't this a free city?"
"For those who do business honestly, it is."
"Hmph! Does that include the merchants who sell monsters? "
Eli shouted. Suddenly, the two guards behind him pulled out a small shield. The black-clothed man's hands trembled, and suddenly, two blades appeared in his hands.
Here it comes!
Just as the shield's magic took effect and a protective shield appeared around them, a knife suddenly pierced through the shield. Prince Elijah subconsciously turned his head, and the blade flew past his face. A guard behind him groaned and fell to the ground.
In an instant, there was a flash of light, and the prince and his men disappeared, leaving only the corpse pierced through by the long sword.
The black-clothed man stepped forward and pulled out his sword. He looked at the corpse on the ground and pulled open the corpse's outer garment. He was wearing the Luas Empire's military uniform.
"Pass down my order. Search for traces of those people."
"Yes!"
With that, he turned around and walked out of the city.
…
"Prince! Are you alright? "
"I'm fine. Let's get out of here."
Elijah and a few others appeared in the forest. Suddenly, there was movement in the underbrush.
"Your Highness! There are traces of the men in black at the aircraft. The soldiers left behind have been captured. "
"What?!"
Prince Elijah was shocked. He didn't expect the other party to act so quickly. He raised his head and looked at the airship.
Unfortunately, the distance was too far. They couldn't teleport to the airship in the sky. They had to take back the aircraft immediately.
"How many people?"
"At least ten, and they're not ordinary people."
"Send a signal to the airship. We'll go save them."
"Yes!!"
…
The black-clothed men patrolled the forest. The magical aircraft sat in an open space with many footprints. The so-called aircraft was a board and an armrest. Below the board was a large magic conversion box. This was the core of the aircraft.
A few Luas soldiers knelt beside the aircraft. Their hands and feet were tied, and some had fainted.
At this moment, a strange wind suddenly appeared in the forest. Then, a cloud of white fog quickly spread over.
The black-clothed men saw this and quickly covered their masks. Just as they looked at the fog, a large number of flying needles suddenly flew out from the forest behind them.
"Ah!"
The needles were poisoned, and the black-clothed men fell. The others quickly turned around. However, people in white robes immediately appeared in the fog. They raised their weapons and smashed them.
At this moment, the black-clothed men hiding in the trees fell. They had already lost consciousness.
The man in white robes took off his mask. He was Prince Elijah. The surrounding fog quickly dispersed. He looked around and lifted the mask of one of the black-clothed men.
Under the mask was wrinkled skin and terrifying fangs. However, he had human facial features.
"Magic Seed!"
The black-clothed men were all Magic Seeds?
Elijah's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He connected the Magic Seed girl in the cage with these black-clothed men and the hero Klaus.
"Something's wrong. Leave this place immediately!"
"Your Highness! Half of the aircraft is missing! "
At this moment, the soldiers came with bad news.
Elijah's eyes darkened. He frowned. The soldier said first, "Please go back first. We will delay the pursuers."
Hearing this, Elijah nodded, then patted the other party's shoulder.
"Take care."
"Yes!"
A gust of wind blew past. With a whoosh, five aircraft crossed the bare forest and rushed into the sky. They flew toward the airship in the distance.
The soldiers on the ground looked at the sky. A group of black shadows suddenly appeared around them.
"We're almost there. Everyone, stay alert!"
Elijah shouted.
"Your Highness the Fourth Prince!"
At this moment, a soldier's shout came from behind him. He turned around and saw a strange black bird flying towards him. He focused his gaze and saw that it was a person with black wings.
Pursuers! It's him!
It's the man with the dual blades! He spread his wings and chased after them at a speed that the aircraft could not match.
"Go quickly! Your Highness! "
One of his guards shouted. Then, he immediately slowed down and turned around. He flew toward the strange black figure. They attacked and set up a protective shield at the same time.
However, the other party nimbly dodged the attack. Suddenly, some black feathers appeared in the sky. His figure flashed. Elijah did not see how his men were defeated. They instantly lowered their bodies and fell from the aircraft.
He turned around and increased the speed of the aircraft to the maximum. He gritted his teeth and flew toward the airship.
At this moment, he only had one thought, and that was to survive. He wanted to go back alive and raze this place to the ground to avenge his guards.
