Chapter 6 Asking for Trouble

  Jia Luo didn't dare to relax at all, driving the horse while paying attention to every move around him. At this moment, he suddenly felt that something was off - this hostage seemed too obedient.

  The lady in Chinese dress seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile all over her face, as if she was about to hum a tune. When she saw Gallo turn around and look at her, she smiled slightly "Hello, lovely kidnapper, to be honest, I really want to thank you for that."

  Jia Luo was stunned, what kind of situation is this? The hostage actually said thank you to the kidnapper? Did he hear it wrong or is this young lady abnormal?

  "Don't look at me like that, I'm perfectly normal." The girl in Chinese clothing saw Ma stop and lightly jumped down, stretching her body. "Hmm, it's still better to come out and walk around, being stuck in the carriage all the time is almost paralyzing. Oh, right, first ask you, what's your plan for kidnapping me, little sister?"

  "Little sister?" Gallo smiled wryly. "To be honest, I don't even know who you are, but catching you is really sorry, unfortunately, I have no other choice."

  The girl in Chinese clothes nodded "It seems you were forced by Eli."

  "Ali?"

  "That's the captain, loves to act cool, blond hair, a genius swordsman who got his sixth-level warrior qualification at 24, Eriho Aein. The girl in fancy clothes starts introducing him to Garo: "He is the golden sword knight squad leader of the ancient empire, Attemin Kas, and this time he set out to escort me."

  "Who is she?" Gallo suddenly remembered that the data extracted from the man's brain had some records of various countries, although not many. The two continents were now ruled by three different countries: the largest continent was divided between the Atremina and Rajim empires, while the other continent was under the rule of the Monti Kingdom. This girl's demeanor and bearing were absolutely not those of an ordinary person, but rather someone who would require a national guard to escort her... Gallo didn't want to think about it anymore, as this would surely get him into big trouble.

  Unfortunately, he didn't want trouble, but trouble came to him anyway. The girl smiled and opened her mouth to introduce herself, "Let me introduce myself, I am the third princess of the Kingdom of Rajim, Dina Larumu."

  Karo only felt a blackness in front of his eyes, and suddenly didn't want to cause trouble, but trouble came to find him instead. He had taken hostage a princess, and Karo could almost see his own miserable fate being pursued by people. This was not good, what to do? If he really was being pursued every day, he would definitely have no time to conduct experiments.

  "I originally came to Yatmingkas this time because I was summoned by my father, the king, and was supposed to meet with Prince Kahn for a potential marriage arrangement. However, I really didn't want to meet him, so it's great that I could escape thanks to you. By the way, you've gotten yourself into quite a bit of trouble, let me help you." Princess Dina smiled brightly "If you escort me back to my country, I'll take care of this matter for you, how about that?"

  Dina's fingers lightly touched her lips, an action that was inexplicably alluring. "To be honest, I don't know anything about you yet," she said, "but since there's no one else around, take off your hat."

  Jia Luo fell silent for a moment "No, just leave it like that. If possible, I don't want to have any involvement with you guys."

  This time, he didn't use a fake tone, Di Na raised an eyebrow "Oh, this is your real voice, huh? It's really crisp and pleasant to the ear. I really want to see your true face."

  "No, seeing I'm of no use to you, let's just leave it at that." Gallo returned to his usual calmness.

  "What did you just say?!" A man in his early twenties, full of vigor, stared at the person in front of him. "You're telling me that Princess Diana was kidnapped and you couldn't save her?! Captain Eli, this is dereliction of duty and I'm extremely disappointed!"

  "I apologize, Your Highness Kain, but the opponent is too cunning. Not only do they have several wind attribute magic tools, but they're also holding Princess Diana hostage. I don't dare to act rashly, if anything were to happen to the princess..." Eli bowed his head deeply, well aware of the young prince's abilities before him.

  "Hmph, Princess Dina, you're really good at finding trouble. Give me Master Bend's tracking device, I'll go find it myself." Taking the small instrument, Prince Kahn mounted his horse "It's been a long time since I've gone out for a ride, and before we even meet, you give me such a big gift? When we do meet, I'll have to thank you properly, Princess Dina. I don't believe that as a third-class qualified geomancer, you'd be caught by someone who can't even use magic."

  Garo didn't head to Shimril City again, the situation was so bad that no matter what he did now, it seemed like a bad idea. Letting the princess go might make her remember him for his troubles, and sending her back would surely make Prince Kain hold a grudge against him.

  "Alas, what should I do now......" Galo's face was filled with worry as he turned over the fish in his hand that was almost cooked.

  The two of them had been walking for a long time, and although Galo wasn't hungry, that delicate princess couldn't take it anymore. Along the way, he had personally experienced her verbal skills, and estimated that in her country, she was probably also a diplomat by profession. She could almost talk a living person to death and then bring them back to life again. After arriving at this riverbank, she directly sat down and refused to move unless she got something to eat.

  There was no way, so Gallo caught a few fish to wrap her stomach, and also needed to replenish the energy of the wind ring on his hand. Fortunately, he found several pieces of good quality stones near the river bed.

  She raised her hand, and the spiritual power began to absorb the wind elements around her into the ring. Suddenly, Princess Diana walked over and said, "Huh, little sister, what are you doing?" Since she refused to say her name, Princess Diana simply called her that way, Garo.

  "Wow, what a beautiful ring! And even more beautiful hands, so white and tender, soft to the touch." Princess Diana grasped Galo's hand, seemingly addicted to playing with it, touching and pinching "I'm really envious of the man who will take my sister in the future. Oh, right, this ring, is it a gift from my sister's sweetheart?"

  Garo silently looked at the princess in front of him and sighed "Alas, Princess Diana, stop playing around."

  "Hmm?" The princess, still smiling, raised her head and looked at Gallo with eyes full of puzzlement.

  "You think I wouldn't sense the earth element aura on you? You're probably a true magician, unlike me. Why didn't you ask earlier, and only now, when I'm gathering wind elements, do you notice my hand?" Galo's eyes were fixed tightly on his opponent.

  Dina's smile slowly disappeared. "Wow, you're really something, little sister! Your powers of observation are amazing, and what's even more surprising is that despite not being able to use magic, you can still sense the magical elements. I'm getting more and more curious about you."

  "No kidding, I'm also curious, how dare they hijack our country's noble guests." Suddenly, a voice came from behind them, Gallo was shocked, so close to himself yet he didn't notice, this person's strength is even stronger than that of Captain Aili!

  She turned around and threw a few wind blades, then immediately jumped up and escaped forward. She had already pierced the princess's identity and it was impossible to catch her as a hostage again. Moreover, the opponent's strength was obviously much stronger than hers, and she absolutely couldn't stay any longer.

  "Hmph." The man let out a cold snort and suddenly appeared right in front of him!

  Jia Luo was stunned, and the Wind Blade unexpectedly had no way to hinder the opponent. In that case, it could be said that he had already run out of other methods.

  His opponent had a head of pure blue long hair that danced in the wind, and the young man's face might have been popular in this world, but unfortunately it was now filled with a cold aura. "What a big nerve, daring to escape from me?" The tone was full of unspoken confidence.

  He raised his hand once again, using up all the energy of the Wind Chime, and dozens of wind blades shot out. This time, Garo deliberately increased the range of the wind blade's attack, leaving no place for the opponent to escape.

  "Fool!" A loud shout, a black mist burst out of the man's body, instantly devouring all the wind blades, and at this moment, the Wind Ring that had exhausted all its energy also shattered with a crisp sound.

  "Darkness Dhaos, you are Prince Kain of Zeugma!" Princess Deedlit exclaimed on the other side.

  Ka Luo was also shocked, the opponent could actually directly absorb his elemental powers. Although he understood that it was because of the poor materials in his hands, the alchemy tool he made had insufficient power, but the opponent could actually ignore him completely, which was really very strong.

  "Surrender now, little one. If you reveal who is behind you, I might spare your life." Prince Kahn took a step forward, an overwhelming aura of pressure emanating from him.

  Under such intimidation, Gallo involuntarily retreated, but suddenly he came to his senses. "What am I doing? How could I be scared away? Am I not supposed to save Yueliang? Would I give up under such a small pressure? Then how can I still hope to save Yueliang?" Gritting his teeth, Gallo firmly steadied himself, his right hand lightly pressing the crescent-shaped brooch on his chest.

  "Oh... Not bad, huh? You can still stand firm." Although he said that with his mouth, Kahn also secretly admired him in his heart. The opponent's figure looked like it was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and with such momentum, he was not very willing to do so. To know, even if the Golden Sword Knights' team where Eri is located can hold on under their own momentum, less than 30% of them are like this girl...

  "I'm getting more and more interested in you, powerful magical tools, a clever mind and attention to detail, and this unyielding conviction. Alright, let me see your true face." Prince Kahn praised softly before stepping forward.

  "Want to see my appearance? Don't dream about it!" Garo fiercely waved his hand, and several glittering stones flew out. Just now, he hadn't moved at all, just to modify the few stones he had just picked up in his hand.

  "Please, I must succeed." His right hand stood upright in front of his chest, and an incredibly strong spiritual power surged out, with the goal being those few pieces of stone.

  At this time, Princess Diana was shocked on the side. She clearly sensed the terrifying spiritual power emanating from Galo's body, a power that even a sixth-level wizard might not be able to achieve. Could it be that this girl was actually a seventh-level magician?

  Karlo couldn't care less what Dina was thinking, the stone in Karn's eyes seemed so powerless, just a light stretch of his hand could make it fly away. But suddenly, the stone seemed to shatter violently, changing in mid-air, and by the time it landed in front of him, it had transformed into four giant stone wolves.

  Alchemy, Puppet Alchemy, Beast Mimicry.

  "What is this!" Although it was made of stone, it looked so lifelike, and even the claws and teeth were vividly depicted, making these four monsters full of aggression.

  Kahn was also taken aback, but on the other hand, he felt extremely excited. It had been a long time since he had such a unique battle. His hand pressed against his waist and a soft sword was drawn out. His wrist shook lightly, and the soft sword immediately became straight.

  "Up!" Garo shouted, and the four giant wolves lowered their bodies slightly, then suddenly charged forward. Their agile movements were extremely perfect, coming at Karn from all four directions. Karn didn't flinch in the slightest, easily dodging the attacks of the two above with a twist of his body. He kicked one flying, and the soft sword in his hand, now turned black, slashed across, cutting off a chunk of flesh from the last giant wolf's body.

  Karlo's eyes narrowed, the opponent's strength was already self-evident, but he didn't expect his Dou Qi to be so strange. On the giant wolf that had been chopped, a faint corrosion mark appeared on the wound, it could be said that Karlo's Dou Qi was the nemesis of all low-level elemental powers.

  "Damn it, if only the material were a bit better..." Garo muttered to himself, everything was a problem with the material, if the material quality were good, more elemental power could be infused, and if it were diamond, the opponent's sword wouldn't even think about cutting in, plus the stone couldn't accept soul refining, forcing him to command here, don't mention how depressing it was.
