Act 177. Escape the Manor Road
On the other side, Arymia was briskly walking down the hallway, with Anvina in front of her and three maids behind her.
"It's the first time I've worn this kind of clothes, and it's a novelty."
A maid said with some excitement, her skirt lifting, her small steps, her shoes clattering on the smooth marble floor.
"It's better to wear less of this kind of clothing."
Another maid said, her blonde hair tied into a ponytail and swaying as she ran, none other than Claire, the dean of the Crescent Academy's teaching and mascot.
Similarly, the two maids beside her were not servants of the Elbiore family, but Dana and Fina.
The maid outfits they wore were made by Dana, who easily imitated the standard tailoring of the Elbiore family in order to infiltrate the manor and rescue Elimia.
According to Reiner, the battle plan was divided into two parts.
Reiner himself and His Excellency the High Mage will appear in front of everyone, firstly, to put pressure on the pure-blood faction with the theory of genetics and divide the pure-blood faction, and secondly, to attract the attention of the public and create opportunities for Claire and her family.
Claire is here to prevent the Elbiore family from imprisoning Arymia at that time, forcibly holding a wedding, and even making Edward do some bad behavior.
Their plan had been quite successful so far, as Avena had been Arymia's personal maid and was familiar with the various roads in the castle, so they disguised themselves as a team of maids to greet Arymia ten minutes in advance, picked her up, and then left through the path, avoiding most of the guards.
Originally, they wanted to leave the manor directly, but in order to avoid attracting attention, they spent a certain amount of time detouring, and now they are still wandering around the promenade on the side of the manor.
Of course, they had another option, and that was to go directly to the banquet hall where the wedding was held, although it was full of pure-blood family members, but there were also high-level mages, which was the safest place for them.
"Ahead, there seems to be someone."
Fina said lightly, the maid dress on her body was a little big, and the skirt and cuffs were a lot longer, making this girl even more petite, the moment she said this, she stopped, and in her consciousness, the spell model was rapidly constructed, and an invisible barrier appeared in front of several people.
"Hey, Fina, what's wrong?"
Claire was a little confused, but slowed down with the others.
Bang –
The next moment, a small fireball hit Claire where they were supposed to be, and the scorching wind blocked them from the barrier.
"Discovered?"
Anvina was a little flustered for a while, she was just an ordinary person, she didn't know any magic at all, before, if it wasn't for Fina's reminder, she might have been hit by that fireball, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
"You bastards, you dare to be presumptuous in my house."
A distorted voice came from behind the smoke, causing Arimia to tremble subconsciously.
It's Edward.
"If you want to escape from the manor, this is the way to go, don't think I don't know."
Edward said, and several figures appeared around him, all of them strong guards, wearing leather armor and sharp spears in their hands, and it could be seen that their equipment was enchanted with magic, which was the private army of the Elbiore family.
In the days of the Ancient Magic Empire, these armies were much larger, up to 3,000 men, enough to control a large area of Begel City and the surrounding area, and it was not until the modern magic revolution that they were outlawed, but the pure-blood families still raised some more or less as a sword to exert their authority.
Edward himself is a second-ring mage, and on Claire's side, except for Fina who has just advanced and Claire, who doesn't seem to be very reliable, the rest of Dana and Elemia are only apprentices, Anvena is an ordinary person with little ability, whether from the perspective of magic or combat effectiveness, they are difficult to match Edward.
"Arymia's mother was wronged, and there is no reason for her to stay in this house."
Claire said with some confidence, she thought about a way to get out, she didn't have much magic in her hands, but at least she could buy a little time in front of Edward, and now it seemed that it was already a little difficult to escape from the manor directly, so she had to go to Reiner's side.
"Wronged? Look at her appearance without any family blood, look at her filthy long red hair, this is definitely not from the Elbiore family! ”
Edward smiled, obviously knowing that he was in an advantageous position, and was even more reckless.
"You guys help this bastard escape, don't try to escape the sanctions, hehe, I'll let you all turn into my shape, and you won't be able to leave the bed for half a step."
Edward licked his lips and threatened when he saw that several of the maids around Arimia were dressed as very beautiful.
In the Elbiore family, he is the master!
Feeling a chill in her stomach, Claire took half a step back, the behavior of the pure-blood sect in front of her made her extremely disgusting, but Claire didn't dare to move rashly, the first-ring mage was basically in a weak position in the battle against the second-ring mage, and the higher-level magic would rob the free and scattered magic in the air, so that the low-level mage could not cast spells normally at all.
"You guys go later, go to Reiner, and I'll buy some time." ’
Claire whispered to Elemia and the others, she gently pinched the pendant around her neck, the engraved three-ring magic, Isaris's wall of sighs should be enough to resist Edward for a while, although the use of magic beyond the level may hurt the soul, but at this time she can't care so much.
"Wait, Teacher Claire, I'm ......"
Dana seemed to have something to say, but Claire didn't let her finish.
"It's okay, I was the best at hide-and-seek when I was a kid, and they couldn't catch me."
Claire said confidently, smiling a little reluctantly.
"What nonsense, don't even think about running away."
With a wave of Edward's hand, the guards behind him prepared to disperse, surrounding Elemia and the others.
In his own hands, a new flame gathered, the bloodline power of the Elbiore family was a weapon that Edward was proud of, and his eyes widened with a faint bloodshot protrusion.
Claire clenched the pendant on her chest, and was about to use the magic engraved on it when a figure suddenly stood in front of them.
It's Dana.
The student, dressed in a maid's outfit, pulled out a slender wooden stick out of nowhere and held it in his hand like a magic wand.
"What does an apprentice want to do, arrogant."
Edward raised the flame in his hand as several guards stepped forward, their spears gleaming.
"Teacher Claire, Mr. Reiner told me that if in a moment of crisis, I can use this spell at will according to my own judgment."
In the nick of time, Dana pointed her wand at Edward, shouting a word of unknown meaning.
“Explosin!!!”
From the tip of the wand, a huge and pure force erupted, draining all the magic that was free of air within a radius of several hundred meters.
With a roar, an unprecedented cloud of mushrooms rose from the ground.
