In the most luxurious hotel in the city, Earl Royle and his son Baron Rhodes were dreaming about their meteoric rise after the arrival of the Franconia Empire’s vanguard troops in three days. They didn’t notice that Miss Ronia had left the banquet hall with other people. This father-brother duo seriously neglected their duties.
“Wait a moment, I’ll go and get a new crystal ball. I’ll be quick.”
“No need, Miss Ronia, just come with us.”
“You… you two… wu…”
In the hallway of Kunting Grand Hotel, when Miss Ronia wanted to part to get a new prophecy crystal ball, Clyde suddenly hugged her from behind to cover her mouth, intending to kidnap her, leading her to struggle desperately for a while. Since guards were patrolling in the hallways, she had never thought that the other party would be so bold to attack her in the open.
Those guards in the hallways were all personal guards of Earl Royle. Upon seeing that their eldest lady was being held hostage by an unknown aristocratic clan’s young master, they immediately pulled out their weapons, intending to rush over and stop Clyde’s barbaric behavior. However, Lucifer, who was beside Clyde, had already made a move. A black mist spread around Lucifer, and those guards who tried to rush forward were hit by the airwave and were sent flying, directly colliding against the walls and pillars around. This hallway was plunged into chaos.
When those guards came back to their senses, they didn’t even see the trace of Clyde and others. The other party had successfully escaped with their eldest lady. Miss Ronia was taken away by Clyde. This was a big deal. So, the guards didn’t dare to neglect this matter. They arranged to block all exits around the Kunting Grand Hotel and search the entire Tonister City to find any clues that the kidnappers might have left. In addition, they also sent someone to notify Earl Royle and Baron Rhodes.
In fact, these measures were useless. Clyde and Lucifer escaped from the sky. As for Miss Ronia, she was directly transported with the help of Lucifer’s flying bloodkins. Even if those guards were to completely seal off the entire Tonister City, they wouldn’t get anything. Since the opponents were flying, they didn’t need to pass through the city gates at all.
“What’s going on? Why is there such a rush outside?”
“Lord Earl, Miss, she…”
Earl Royle frowned upon noticing the rush outside. He was chatting with the special envoys of the Franconia Empire. They had already agreed to confer him the title of Grand Duke, and he could establish a principality in Adrian Empire’s territory after the victory. The guard who came to report him was clever. He walked to Earl Royle’s side and reported the kidnapping of Miss Ronia by a mysterious figure in a low voice.
“What’s the matter, Your Excellency Earl Royle, is there any problem?”
“No, there’s no problem. Your Excellency envoy, let’s continue our talk.”
Earl Royle was busy discussing important matters with the special envoys of the Franconia Empire. He had no time to deal with Miss Ronia’s kidnapping. Therefore, he casually ordered this guard to report this matter to his son Baron Rhodes and let him deal with it. When this helpless guard found Baron Rhodes, he was flirting with Assassin Selina while fooling around with Elemental Archer Fulan. He also impatiently waved the guard away and ordered them to deal with it in their own way.
This guard was speechless for a moment upon seeing this father-brother duo. He could only pray that the other party had kidnapped Miss Ronia just for ransom money. If that were the case, it would be comparatively easier to save her. Otherwise, it would be even more troublesome. As of now, the other party had not asked for a ransom, and the guards couldn’t guess the real motive of the kidnappers.
“Young Master Rhodes, I want to see your younger sister Miss Ronia. I have something to discuss with her, I want her to make divination!”
“Miss Fulan, my younger sister, she… she has something to do at the moment. She can not make any divination tonight. Tomorrow… no, it should be fine after a few days.”
Elemental Archer Fulan still remembered her mission. However, Baron Rhodes just answered evasively. Paladin Edward and Assassin Selina felt that this was not a big problem and didn’t cooperate with Fulan. She alone couldn’t do anything about Baron Rhodes, so she could only give up in the end.
When Clyde and Lucifer were passing through Grand Tonitas Fortress to take Miss Ronia away, they encountered an aerial obstruction. A beautiful female magician floating in the sky blocked their way. She was the hero party’s captain, Holy Archmage Filomena. Without the aid of flying mounts, it consumed a lot of magic power to use flight magic to float in the air. Filomena seemed to be floating in the air for a long time, and there was no change in her complexion and no signs of hurried breathing. It seemed that the huge consumption of magic power was not an issue for her, which was enough to prove that she was very powerful.
“Stop! Evil beings are not allowed to pass through here.”
“Big Sister, we are just passing by, it won’t hurt anyone. How about you treat it as if you didn’t see us?”
“Passing by? This is the second time, do you still want to deceive me? Hand over that person in your hands.”
Filomena had a righteous and stubborn expression on her face. She was not deceived by Lucifer’s innocent and pure expression. Among so many girls whom Clyde had met, there were only a few such relatively clear-headed girls. As it turned out that when Clyde and Lucifer had passed Grand Tonitas Fortress before, Holy Archmage Filomena had already noticed them. But, at that time, it was already too late for her to stop them. Consequently, she directly stayed on the only return route of Clyde and Lucifer so that she could intercept them when they returned this time.
Lucifer didn’t get flustered even though her tactics of cuteness failed. She kept her calm as she revealed a smile. With her strength, she could easily defeat this beautiful Holy Archmage in front of her. As for Clyde, he was just observing Miss Filomena, the captain of the hero party, while carrying Miss Ronia. At this moment, Miss Ronia’s mouth was gagged with a cloth ball, sealing her ability to speak. She could only place all her hopes on this hero party’s captain, Holy Archmage Filomena, to save her from the hands of these kidnappers. She also thought that this shouldn’t be a big problem. No matter how strong these kidnappers were, they couldn’t defeat the captain of a hero party.
Holy Archmage Filomena looked like an elegant and graceful golden daughter of an aristocratic family. She had beautiful soft pink hair and peach-blossom eyes, which were paying close attention to Clyde. She could see Lucifer’s true appearance. However, Clyde was surrounded by black mist, so she could only see his vague outline. Filomena could only vaguely see that Clyde seemed to be carrying a woman. The other details were unclear. Therefore, her focus was on Clyde. The enemies who couldn’t be seen through clearly were often the most troublesome existences.
Holy Archmage Filomena, the captain of the hero party, wore a magic robe similar to the robe of Light Church’s priest. She was a magician who cultivated light and holy elements. In terms of attributes, she restrained the existence of darkness. Her threat towards Demon Kings was quite big. This beautiful Holy Archmage’s bloodline was also not pure. Like Elemental Archer Fulan, she was half-blooded. The divine artifacts of this world were exclusive to the God Race. Therefore, under the influence of this attribute, it was impossible to use divine artifacts without the bloodline of the God Race. Since Filomena had the God Race’s bloodline, she could use the divine weapon ‘God’s Blessing.’
After a quick scan, Clyde determined the rough situation of Holy Archmage Filomena. This pink-haired beauty with peach blossom eyes had a slender figure, which was no match for Selina’s round and hot figure. But her attractiveness index was sky-high, and her temperament was similar to a Goddess. She hated anything and everything about evil. They had just met, but she didn’t have a good expression towards himself and Lucifer. It seemed that she was very hostile to the existences of darkness.
Filomena was very annoyed with Clyde’s wanton gaze, not to mention that he didn’t respond to her question. His gaze was focused on her legs and her bosom for a long time. At a glance, she knew that he was a lecher. Thinking of this, Filomena discarded the thoughts to persuade and raised the divine artifact ‘God’s Blessing,’ preparing to teach this rude lecher a lesson.
Suddenly, a strong killing intent came from behind Filomena. Instinctively, she subconsciously released a defense barrier. But she was still knocked away by the other party’s sneak attack. The Demon Princess Andrea and her mount, Three-Headed Demonic Dragon, had simultaneously slammed Filomena from behind, knocking her away.
After Filomena was knocked away, Princess Annie and Miss Sivia, who were hiding on the back of the Three-Headed Demonic Dragon, simultaneously moved. An undead shaman and a dark magician jointly attacked. Although Filomena held the divine artifact ‘God’s Blessing,’ she was caught off guard by the opponent. She was entirely focused on Clyde and Lucifer before, so she didn’t notice Demon Princess Andrea’s sneak attack. Usually, it was not so easy to carry out a sneak attack on her.
“Master, we didn’t disturb you, did we?”
“No, you came at just the right time. Now, I am carrying a person, so I don’t want to make a move! After returning to Philip’s castle, I want to find a suitable place for this cutie.”
Clyde and Lucifer took advantage of the chaos and left, bringing along Miss Ronia on the back of the Three-Headed Demonic Dragon. Demon Princess Andrea commanded her mount, Three-Headed Demonic Dragon, to head towards Ancient Demon King Philip’s castle in the depths of Hamilton Swamp. When Holy Archmage Filomena was prepared to attack after dealing with Princess Annie and Miss Sivia’s joint attack, her opponents had already escaped. Therefore, she could only grit her teeth and look in the direction where Clyde’s group had fled. In the end, Filomena failed to comprehend Clyde’s true strength.
