Chapter 10 Provocation
Leaving the candy house, Lori led the knights through the food stalls, then ran to the clothing store to buy a few desert-inspired dresses, and then she enjoyed a belated lunch with Alec and the others at the inn that Saif had recommended earlier.
But this time, a certain Lori said that she didn't plan to order the beetroot soup again, she just recommended it to some knights with a bad heart, and then smiled and watched them blush from being spicy.
Finally, she arrives at Mage City's most famous magic tower. The Magic Tower is not a Mage Tower, to put it bluntly, it is just another name for the Magic Item Shop.
As the daughter of the Duke, Leah is not short of magical equipment, and she herself has been forced to fill it with various magical items by the old duke after experiencing that assassination.
Therefore, the purpose of her coming to the Magic Tower was to look around much more than to shop.
However, as a sacred place for mages, Avedra's magic tower naturally has its own uniqueness.
"Wow...... Alec, look at it, there are even Dragon Soul Grass for sale here, although it is not as good as the one given to me by His Majesty Cliff, but the Dragon Soul Grass itself is rare enough!"
After a while, Leah saw something very rare, so she pulled Alec and said excitedly.
"Miss Leah, this ...... Seems a little too expensive, right?"
Glancing at the price indicated, Alec noticed that the small herb was labeled with 10,000 gold coins. This is not a small number, let alone little Lori, I'm afraid even the old duke needs to hesitate a little.
"Uh......h Alec still doesn't understand, the so-called dragon soul grass is originally something that can not be found, although this herb is very young, but after all, it is something that can only be obtained by destroying the bone dragon. 10,000 gold coins is already considered a jump price.
Kindness...... I don't know why it's here, but since it wasn't thrown into the auction house, I have no reason to let it go.
Come on, help me pack this Dragon Soul Grass, it's mine. β
Leah ignored the knight's objections, because she understood that the dragon soul grass potion was usually something that you could only get if it was placed in the auction house. Since we've met here. Then you can accept it generously.
"I'm going to give it to my father, and he'll be happy, hehe. β
Watching the attendant of the Magic Tower walk over to help her carefully pick up the Dragon Soul Grass and put it into the exquisite little box, Leah turned around with a sweet smile in satisfaction.
"Yes. Yes, the Duke will love Miss Leah's gift. β
The other party has made up his mind, Alec naturally will not stop him, he is usually used to watching Leah and a certain princess, and it is only now that he suddenly remembers that the girl he is facing happens to have such a value that can be spent so much. ???: "Wait a minute!
Just as the waiter walked up to Leah with the box in hand, a spear whistled towards the two of them.
Qiang - !!
Immediately, it was knocked away by Alec's broadsword, and for a moment. The waiter was so frightened that he sat on the ground and said nothing. The whole magic tower was in chaos.
"Don't gentlemen know what politeness is when such a dangerous weapon is thrown at a lady?"
Leah put away her previous attitude of being full of Lori, and looked at the visitor coldly.
It was a group of strangely dressed people, dressed in muscular armor and cloaked in red linen cloaks. He wears a helmet decorated with a feather crown, holds a spear and a round shield, and carries a short sword at his waist. There is no doubt about a group of well-trained military men. And among them, there stood a girl in a white mage robe and a veil, who looked to be about twelve years old, and her snow-white hair was like a crystal that was tied into a double ponytail like a certain loli.
"Ah, it's rude, but it's too violent to see that Dragon Soul Grass to be captured by someone like you, isn't it?"
The girl spoke, as if there was some strange magic attached to the veil, and her voice was a little weird.
"Little girl, did you hear what Mistress Casadra said, hand over the potion and get out of here, so that you can save your life. β
One of the soldiers at the head pointed a spear at Leah and smiled evilly.
"Rude, you're going to pay for your wordsβ!!"
In the face of this naked slap in the face, all the knights raised their weapons and stepped forward.
[I see, I see, it seems that the Dragon Soul Grass was a pit from the beginning. γ
Leah stared at the other party coldly, in the face of the explicit provocation, she did not get angry at all, but quickly thought about the cause and effect of this matter in her mind.
First of all, she was found wrong. To be honest, this is very rare, really rare, Leah is not one of those Long Aotian who loves to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, she exudes a great aristocratic aura all the time, and she has really never been provoked by anyone like this since she crossed over. Secondly, considering the cheap Dragon Soul Grass before, there is no doubt that this is a conspiracy, and the other party did it on purpose!
"Looks like you're trying to learn some lessons, but unfortunately, the magic tower isn't the right place to bury people like you, so let's get out. Don't worry, Mage City is so big, there will always be a suitable place for your funeral. β
Shaking her head with contempt, Leah led the knights out of the magic tower.
"Humph!"
In the face of a certain Lori's obvious contempt, the other party smashed the shield with a spear, and it seemed that he was about to attack.
"Don't worry, Tereddy, the warriors of Simoye never cared where they fought, let them pick the right field, and then crush them all. β
The girl in white stopped the warrior in the lead, and then said.
γSimoyer...... It turned out that he came so soon, it seems that Saif really guessed correctly. But...... Why are they targeting me like this?]
From a few short conversations, Leah learns the background of the other party, which is the kingdom that Saif mentioned some time ago - Simoyeh!
"Alec, are you sure?"
Leah is not stupid, the other party came prepared, so it is naturally difficult to get along. She roughly estimated that the number of enemies was about the same as her own side, and since there was no quantitative threat, then the rest was the difference between the individual elements.
"Rest assured, as long as Mistress Leah nods, they will never see the sun tomorrow again. β
At this time, Alec's face was gloomy, and his body exuded murderous intent.
The enemy's previous spear throwing was completely aimed at Leah, they provoked first, and they also shot at the young girl as a killing move, plus as Simoye's army, they said that they would crush them between words.
Whether it was from the duty of the guards, or the honor of the knights, or the majesty of the Randall Kingdom, Alec would not hesitate to kill this group of people.
"Well, I tell you clearly, once the sword is drawn, I don't need any prisoners!"
Leah nodded, although she still didn't understand what the other party's motives were, but since she dared to provoke, she should pay the price of blood!
