Chapter 504: King Xuan

What an unacceptable fate for a young girl, a beautiful canary who would be trapped in a castle for the rest of her life.

Holmasako didn't dare to imagine how she would face the future life of a caged bird, she strongly wanted to escape from this predetermined fate, she even felt that if she really married the prince Joseph, who had only met three times in total, she might die of depression, so in order to avoid becoming a caged bird, but also for freedom, she disguised herself as her maid and escaped from this cage on a dark night, and this night was the eve of her coming-of-age ceremony.

The Principality of Yilan is a country close to the sea, and most of the economic sources of the treasury are derived from trade, so this small country consisting of only three counties is extremely convenient for transportation, and the thirty miles from the Grand Duke's Mansion to the seaside port is a straight and smooth road, and it only takes one night for even a weak canary to reach the dock by the sea.

Hol Masako only brought three of the most heartfelt maids with her this escape, and it was impossible for Hu Cong or anything to follow, but in order to survive outside in the future, she still carried a large number of precious items with her, including the world's currency 'Magic Primordial Stone' (Vitality Crystal), which is half of all the finances she has accumulated over the years, and there are enough Magic Primordial Stones with the weight of four 'regiments'.

As the princess's personal maid, the three girls who grew up with Hol Masako are very good, in addition to receiving aristocratic education since childhood, they also have to learn a variety of skills, among which the talented ones will even be trained to become magicians, and one of the three girls who fled with Hol Masako is a junior magician, and a junior magician who has not yet been divided.

Narahan, a magical genius who grew up with the little princess Holmasako, is a noble being who is about to open the magic department. As long as she can find her magical attributes in the next ten years, then she will become the forty-third registered magician of the Principality of Yilan, then she will no longer be a humble maid, but one of the highest-ranking people in the entire Principality.

At that time, her fate will be bound by anyone again, not just to become a free man, but even to become the noblest being above all.

Leaving the Grand Duke's Mansion meant that Narahan would lose the resources to support her cultivation of magic, and it would also make her path to advancement difficult, but even so, she still chose to leave with Princess Hol Masako without hesitation.

With the money they had brought with them, they had rented a large ship that could sail long distances overnight, and had sailed a hundred miles at sea before the pursuers of the Grand Duke's Mansion could find them.

Four women and the ship's sailors sailed for ten days at sea, and their destination was the 'Rogasya', known as the Grace of the Gods, a realm of freedom under the control of magicians.

Legend has it that it was a completely free and equal country, with no nobility, no exploitation and oppression, and no organized army stationed.

It's a magical place, a big city built on an island, but it's actually a place that is independent of any other realm.

A city completely controlled by magicians, although there is no army and city defenses, no country or force will provoke or invade this island city.

There is a real magician and two skilled maids on the ship to protect the safety, so they don't have to worry about the sailors on the ship having any bad intentions and always be on guard, so in ten days, the four women have basically established a relationship of trust with the sailors on the ship, and they didn't expect that the actual route of this ship is not the legendary Luojiasiya but the pirate country 'Black Prison' that all the fleets that roam the sea talk about.

However, when she was only a hundred miles away from the Black Prison Sea, Narahan still found an anomaly, although she had not yet found her magic attributes, but some simple magic that did not require special attributes could still be released, and one of them was known as the 'Exercise Technique' by beginners in magic, this magic was created to exercise the sight, hearing and reaction ability of junior magicians, which was the real reason why she found these sailors abnormal.

As the ship passed through an uninhabited island, Narahan heard two sailors talking about the arrival of the Black Prison in a few days, which surprised him by hearing more than two sailors, and how could he not be unheard of as a citizen of a principality that had developed on coastal trade.

Hor Masako was shocked to hear the news, she didn't think that her three maids with no sailing experience alone could control an ocean-going ship.

After some deliberation, the four women decided to take the big ship, even if it was better to go with the flow than to go into the mouth of the tiger.

Just as most of the sailors were resting on the uninhabited island, three women, led by Narahan, launched a surprise attack on the remaining sailors who remained on board.

The results speak for themselves, these are at best sailors who are slightly stronger than ordinary people, where is the opponent of a magician and two elite samurai?

In just a few moments, the ship was completely occupied by the three women, and then, while the sailors on the island were still in a daze, Narahan stumbled out of the shallows of the island and sailed into the unknown deep waters.

The four women did not understand the charts at all, let alone use the changes of the ocean currents to determine the direction, but only knew that sailing with the wind was not so much sailing as a dangerous ocean wandering.

Fortunately, the supplies on the ship are very sufficient, and fortunately, they have not encountered any wind and waves since leaving the uninhabited island, so they have drifted for more than ten days, during which they have also encountered islands, but their shallow sailing skills do not know how to barge at all, and they cut off the anchor when seizing the ship.

After ten days, the fresh water on the big ship was about to run out, and the food left was no longer abundant, and just as the four women were worried about survival, they encountered the first storm in more than ten days.

Fortunately, the three women on the ship, except for Hor Masako, were very skilled, and when the storm came, the three maids and she got into the ship's solid freshwater reserve bucket, and Narahan also carved the only magic array she could depict on the outer layer of the barrel, the 'Guardian Array', in order to avoid this huge storm.

…..

When Holmasako woke up from the impact coma, they were already on a flat island.

Holmasako didn't know how long she had been unconscious, and she didn't know how they had escaped the terrible storm, the impact marks on the huge mottled barrel not far away had already explained the danger of the storm, and she didn't see any wreckage of the ship's hull other than the broken barrel.

This is an island that once had traces of human beings, and there are even simple houses left by fishermen on the island, so it can be judged from the traces of use that it is often infested here, and it may be that there are people living on land not far from this island for a long time.

Perhaps it won't be long before they can see the passing fishing boats, and then they will be able to find land, know where they are, and live a free life as an ordinary person with the precious treasures that remain on them.

What a wonderful wish the four women had, but when they actually saw the first ship, their fate did not give any preferential treatment to the fact that they were all women, and the good life they were expecting turned into a nightmare journey.

…….

Although three of the four women were extraordinary, even then they couldn't face the regular army from Xuanguo, and Narahan's rudimentary primary magic didn't even have time to be released, and the two second-order cultivators who accompanied the ship had already armed all four women.

Hol Masako and the others couldn't understand the lingua franca of the Xuanguo generals at all, but looking at their menacing appearance, they also knew that the treatment they were about to receive would not be very good, and the fate that awaited them would be even more uncertain.

The four of them were not the only 'captives' on the Xuanguo ship, there were at least fifty others like them who were held in two huge wooden fence cabins.

Most of these people were blonde and blue-eyed like the four of them, and even if they weren't from Yilan, the hometown of Hol Masako, they wouldn't be far apart, because they all spoke the language of their hometown.

……

I don't know how long the long sea voyage has been, maybe ten days or dozens of days, they are all locked in this dark cabin and can't see the sunrise and sunset at all, they can't accurately calculate the time, and they can only simply calculate how many days have passed from the number of food deliveries.

By the time they saw the light of day, the four women were already weakened, and even the strongest Narahan could not perform any of the primary magic, and the long period of darkness and coarse food that could only maintain immortality could not meet their nutritional needs, and if this continued for a few more days, Her Royal Highness Hol Masako, who was pampered by the little pampered her, would probably become ill or even die due to malnutrition and lack of sunlight.

Hol Masako didn't know where their fate would go, and she couldn't stop one of her maids from being forcibly taken away, but fortunately, Narahan was still around, and having her there made Her Royal Highness feel a little safe, although Narahan was now weak and ordinary because of malnutrition.

The black-haired, black-eyed men then took Holmasako and Narahan out of the harbor alone, and the three women were forcibly searched by a group of stout women who looked like wolves, and all of their possessions were looted, except for their clothes and a few simple ornaments that were worthless at first glance.

They were then loaded into a sumptuous giant tricorn car, looking out through the windows sealed by sturdy iron bars, the buildings on both sides were full of exotic styles, and the pedestrians on the avenue were black-haired and black-eyed exotics.

…..

Holmasako had communicated with Narahan in her native dialect, but to her despair, Narahan told her that the two samurai outside who were in charge of guarding the triangular beast cart had powerful magic fluctuations, and that they were the two strongest magic fluctuations of all the people that Nala had rarely seen.

Three people, including Hor Masako, were pulled into Xuanguo's palace, and they were given to Xuanwang as trophies of this Xuanguo expeditionary fleet.

The three of them were imprisoned in a heavily guarded courtyard, and they had not been seen even once since then, except for a few healthy women who had been pushed and shoved by a few healthy women when they first arrived, and had seen the old King Xuan again.

This made Hol Masako feel like she was back in the life of a canary, and she even thought that the three of them had been forgotten by the old man, and she felt extremely glad that her fate was similar to this anyway, the only difference was that the guard of the cage that imprisoned her did not speak to them.

This captivity lasted for thirty days, until that day when they were once again imprisoned in the carriage of a more luxurious and wide triangular cart, which ended the life of the caged birds.

……

Hol Masako and her maid had never seen so many alien races, even the Principality of Yilan as a trading country had never seen a tenth of the races here, let alone the magical dragon clan that had always been rumored to be a magical dragon.

They are their own insignificance here, the so-called magical genius is worthless here, and any alien race has the strength of a far superior magician, let alone a young magician like Narahan who is just getting started.
