Chapter 62: Scarly's Adventures
Scarly Terry Miltrov, fourteen years old, has been having a rough time lately.
Nearly three years have passed since she was sent from her family to the academy city for further study, and finally, she was allowed to refuse such a wayward request to return to the family in the New Year. It's just that the servants who take care of her are no exception, and everyone has to go back. This does not mean that she has more and more say in the family as she grows older, she understands very well that on the contrary, it means that her value to the family has become less and less.
My father has always been a little cold, let's not mention it for the time being, and the brothers still kept writing at first, and there has been almost no ...... in the past year It's also said that after such a long time, they can still remember that they have a younger sister, even if they are very worried, nine times out of ten, even Scarly's appearance is a little blurred.
Speaking of which, it was precisely because she was in such a family that Scarly did not want to go backβand perhaps it was because she had repeatedly revealed her intention to get rid of the family that her father and several older brothers were bored. In the words I've heard from that somewhat odd temporary guard lately, it's called a vicious circle.
In this context, she encountered an unfortunate event that made her complain even more - she was kidnapped.
Being kidnapped in College City, the risks that the kidnappers have to take, as well as the power and strength they possess, are probably staggering. To put it simply, Scarly herself had no confidence in sending someone to kidnap her on the streets of College City. If it goes well, if it is discovered during the implementation, the assigned person will definitely die, and the Miltrov family will have to pay a considerable amount of reparations to College City in order to save Scarly's life.
And if you don't have the background of the Miltrov family, take William as an example, even if everything goes well, sooner or later, the academy city that will get the news will use thunderous means to sanction him. In the process, the Robese family will be demoralized if they want to intervene. At the beginning of the establishment of the College City, such an incident did occur.
Images of several of the children of the big families in College City flashed through her mind, but Scully had no clue who would be willing to take such a huge risk to kidnap her.
Besides, what is the purpose? Would a person with such power want money? Even if he did, who would he ask for money from at this time to kidnap Scarly? Do you want to blackmail the entire Miltrov family? There are very few successful cases of kidnapping non-heirs to blackmail the big family, and it is relatively common for the big family to take revenge on Liwei desperately. Is anyone so stupid now?
Completely confused, but Scarly T. Miltrov has indeed been kidnapped now.
Scarly sat in her not-so-comfortable chair, steaming glasses of water, and thought desperately as she glanced at the four strange men on her left and right who seemed to be waiting for her.
As a result of her thoughts, Scarly spilled the hot water out of her glass.
The bald young man on the left side of the target, who was on the left side of Scarly, raised his hand, and a crystal clear film of water appeared out of thin air, enveloping Scarly in it while merging with the hot tea.
"Don't you like black tea? It's our rereliction of duty, it would be better to change it to green tea?"
That guy bowed down and apologized like a subordinate in a serious manner, both his attitude and etiquette were impeccable-his hand showed that he was at least a second-turn mage! These four people seem to be of the same level, are they all second-turn mages! Scully turned out to have only two guards and Butler Ford, a total of three second-turn mages!
It is a person from a big family, who has a certain amount of real power, and after adding new screening conditions, there are only two or three suspects left before. But here's the problem, these two or three people should be the ones who are least likely to have the motivation to act like this.
The more Scarly thought about it, the more she had a headache, and finally gave up thinking, and threw the cup out directly, pouting and putting her face on her face and clasping her hands in front of her chest: "Don't pretend, I look disgusting." β
The man still bowed deeply, behaving like a perfect servant from every angle, and raised his hand, which was strong enough to withstand several fireball spells, caught the water glasses that were bouncing on both sides of the water film, and said calmly in his gentle and magnetic voice, "Miss Miltrov, I am sorry for causing you trouble. You don't have to be so agitated, as we said before, we'll get you out of here when we're done. And for now, we're here to accommodate any reasonable needs you may have, so please don't hesitate. β
Scarly pouted and rolled her eyes, "I want to go home, okay?"
The other person on the right took a step forward, he did not pretend, but maintained the attitude of a stranger of lower status, bent slightly, his medium-long black hair swayed with his movements, and a smooth smile on his plump face: "Miss Miltrov, please don't say nonsense nonsense, and especially, don't repeat it constantly. β
"I beg your pardon for the fact that the premise of a reasonable demand is reasonable. But as I said, you can leave when it's over, and you can go wherever you want, and it shouldn't take too long. The servant-like creature snatched back the conversation, repeating to Scully what he had said many times.
Scarly pursed her lips disapprovingly, her cheeks bulging at each side, and she pinned her face to the side. She stopped talking, and the other four remained silent, and the room fell silent, about ten seconds.
Scarly's eyes turned red in the next ten seconds, and then her nose sucked sharply, as if choking, and she lowered her head, covered her face with both hands, and let out a low, "woo" sound like a forced cry.
The bald-headed, dark-haired, slightly chubby man, and the two featureless men standing behind Scully, the four of them looked at each other, and the bald face showed an embarrassed and headache look, and this expression quickly infected the Featureless Brothers.
Miss Miltrov had shown great self-control for the past half day, suppressing all fear, anger, and irritability under a superficial calmness and aristocratic demeanor, and carefully using the limited irritability to test their bottom line. Her age-appropriate maturity inevitably led them to ignore the important fact that Miss Miltrov was only a little girl of fourteen after all.
Unfortunately, all four of them are sincere people who have been immersed in the way of magic, so they have all reached the level of second-turn mages with an average age of only thirty years, but correspondingly, they have no experience in dealing with children. Not to mention knowing how to coax a girl who cried because she was bullied by them-
Just when the other three people thought so, the black-haired man with plump cheeks, shiny skin, slightly fat, and no specific age actually walked out generously and approached Miltrov, who was covering his face and bowing his head and crying. "Did he have any experience in raising children!" the other three almost shuddered at the horror of discovering the unknown side of their companions.
They watched silently as the little fat man, who seemed to be very good at dealing with children, walked towards Scarly. The little fat man walked up to Scarly, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a soft smile, his fingers twitched slightly, as if he was slapping, and then, stretched out his right hand to Scarly, and gently patted her shoulder, and the blue-white arc gently flashed on the two of themβ
"What are you doing!" The featureless brother on the left was taken aback, and immediately shouted to stop him, while his brother on the right didn't seem to be as impulsive as him, or maybe he was slower to react, he stood still at first, and waited for the one on the left to take two steps before suddenly grabbing his arm, stretching out his finger and pointing at him, motioning for him to take a closer look.
The little fat man's hand stayed on Scarly's shoulder for about two seconds, and when he withdrew it, the smile on his face grew even bigger.
In contrast, Scarly's condition was much worse, just now her whole body trembled unconsciously, and it took five seconds to stop, tears and snot really flowed out uncontrollably this time, but what was even worse was the pain caused by the numbness all over her body and the complete loss of mobility. No matter how optimistic you estimate, it is basically impossible to walk in just two or three minutes.
The little fat man calmly took out a white handkerchief, lifted Scarly's face, and said softly as he cleaned it: "Come, don't be like this, what a beautiful girl, I will feel very guilty if I become ugly." It's really admirable, the eldest daughter of the Miltrov family, she is good-looking, talented, calm and calm, and has a good sense of urgency. Are all the children of your big family like this? I almost have to believe the argument that nobles are born noble. β
β...... Was Miss Miltrov secretly chanting just now?" the bald head swallowed and sneered, "I really underestimated you, and may I apologize for our rude thoughts." β
The little fat man finally wiped Scarly's face clean, looked up and down carefully for a while, and then nodded with satisfaction, let go and smiled: "It is indeed beautiful." I finally figured it out, the 'Paralyzing Perception' of attaching 'Accelerated Chanting', 'Increasing Spell Effect', 'Increasing Spell Level', 'Cancel Spell Casting Action', and the four Hyper Magic Skills' is really amazing, the more Super Magic Skills are attached to the same spell, the more difficult it is to cast, not to mention that most people are not easy to remember even the chain chanting format of a Super Magic Skill, and the connection chant between the Super Magic Skills is even more out of the way. Obviously she is the daughter of the Miltrov family, and she can enjoy abundant conditions even if she doesn't make any effort, but she still puts in amazing efforts, which is admirable. β
"Such a combination, although 'Paralyzing Perception' is only a level 1 spell, if one of the three of them comes up and touches you, I'm afraid it won't be better than you are now. The little fat man consciously pulled back the topic that was getting more and more biased, "And the three of them were indeed deceived by you, amazing, really powerful." β
"It's just that there's still a little bit I haven't figured out. The little fat man said this, but his face was still calm, thinking about it, it was because he had absolute confidence in the strength of as many as four second-turn mages on his side, so these so-called questions were just casually mentioned, in fact, he didn't take it to heart at all, "Even if you succeed, you can only make a fool of one of us." Do you think this will scare other people? Or do you think we're not going to be cruel to you anyway, so it's just an act of revenge with no fear? Or are you planning something else? What is it, I'm curious. β
Scarly was barely able to move, at least to speak, but she only snorted.
The little fat man scratched his head with a smile on his face: "Did I attack too hard just now?" 'Paralyzing Touch' is an improved version of 'Paralyzing Perception' that is biased towards the direction of battle, as a level 2 spell, it is only stronger than the level 1 spell of the four super magic skills you use--I developed it myself? β
Still a little sluggish, Scarly raised her hand, pressed it on her flat chest, and snorted coldly again, "I accept your apology. However, you should keep the 'paralyzing touch' for yourself. β
The little fat man raised his eyebrows, looking down at Scarly's face and her white neck and the golden necklace on it, and this time there was indeed a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice: "Do you despise me? Do you know how valuable this kind of personal improvement is? If you don't learn it now, you will regret it in the future." β
Scarly stretched out her little tongue and licked her red lips, smirked a little, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I respect your understanding of spells, and I also understand how good a person is who can modify the chanting, gestures, and mental fluctuations of spells with his own strength, let alone improve them. β
"It's just, I don't think I have that much time. Scully said this, paused, smiled and looked around at the four people around her, clenched her fists violently, raised her hand, tore off the necklace, and smashed the thing in her hand to the ground!
The blue-white electric light writhed and spread like a python in flames, covering the entire room, and the brilliance even overshadowed the bright light.
"I don't have that much time to learn another spell before I go!" Scarly shouted as she shook her fist hard.
