The Duke's Palace is also in the southwestern city, not very far from Caesar's estate. It was a wealthy area, and many rich and powerful nobles lived here.

At this time, Wright had just finished some trivial official business, and was lying on a wicker chair under the vines, listening to the violin music played by the musician at home. Because he has been busy with the alchemy competition these days, he has brought some of the work of the city government to his home to deal with, and most of the work has been handled by someone for him.

I heard a report from the next person, saying that Princess Alice came to look for him, and was in the XX open-air café on the street, and hurriedly changed her clothes and went out.

When she came to the café, Alice saw him from afar and beckoned: "The drink is ready, please take a seat." ”

Wright sat down and said, "Princess, why did you come to me in person, and you haven't brought anyone with you, it won't be safe." If you have anything to do with me, just call someone to come. ”

"There's nothing insecure, I hate it when people follow me, not free. Alice smiled: "And I haven't seen you in the past few days, and I miss you a lot." ”

"Miss me?" Wright was stunned, his watch looked a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly picked up the coffee on the table and drank it.

Alice said: "I came back to you for something, I want you to help and get a ...... What kind of enchantment, it's an enchantment that slows down time for a short time, test my reaction speed, I want to know my own current ability, I don't know if you?"

"Oh, oh, it's the 'Reverse Clock' enchantment. Wright suddenly noticed that Alice had a wound on her face and asked, "Princess, what's the matter with you here?"

Alice said, "Oh, I accidentally injured myself when I was fighting with my subordinates just now, and I forgot to deal with it. ”

With a wave of one hand, a small magic array flashed in the air, and a healing magic was cast, and the healing starlight gathered and flashed in the wound on Alice's cheek, making Alice's face tickle. "In about an hour, the wound will heal completely," Wright said. ”

Alice touched her face and smiled, "Xiexie." ”

"Princess. Wright hesitated for a moment and said, "What did you just say......"

"Huh?"

"You just said you missed me?"

Alice nodded: "yes, how ......" She immediately reacted: "Oh, you think ......." No, no, no, I didn't mean that, I ......"

Alice's violent reaction caught the attention of those around her.

Wright hurriedly asked Alice to sit down, motioned for her to be quiet, and said with a smile: "I thought you liked me, princess, but it seems that I misunderstood." ”

Alice herself found it funny: "No, I just think that since I came here, you and Uncle Caesar have been very good to me, I always trouble you to help me, you have helped me, I feel like my brother." And didn't you promise me to give me a gift when I left, and I always wondered what it would be?"

"Hehe, when the princess receives the gift, I hope you will be satisfied. ”

After drinking the drink, the two were about to leave, and just after walking far, they saw a subordinate of the Wright family running over in a hurry: "Young master, young master......"

"What's the matter?" said Wright, "didn't you go with my mother to the opera house?"

"The opera is finished. The servant said eagerly: "Madame was just on the road and was stabbed." ”

"What!" Wright was startled, and his face changed greatly: "Where?"

The servant said, "It's in the alley on the other side of Opera Road." ”

Without saying a word, Wright immediately followed, and Alice, who was also worried about Wright's mother's safety, went with her.

[[[CP|W:540|H:543|A:L]]]

Led by the men, Wright and Alice walked into an alley near Opera Road. After walking down the alley for a while, Wright noticed that they were getting more and more remote and farther away from the bustling neighborhood, and he realized that something was wrong, and he calmed down from his panic.

"Who the hell are you?" Wright paused.

The subordinate turned around: "Young master, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean by me?" Wright's voice was cold: "You have a very faint magic fluctuation on your body, and it is obvious that you are using camouflage magic. Moreover, it was impossible for my mother to come to such a remote place. ”

"Hahahahaha, that's amazing, Young Master Wright of the Duke's family. In the voice of the next person, the magic fluctuations became more violent, and the light was in a trance, and he faded his magic disguise, revealing his true face, but it was a masked man. He squinted at Wright, "Not only are you thoughtful, but you are also so perceptive. I thought that I had become very proficient in camouflage magic, and with my control, I could minimize the fluctuation of magic power, but I didn't expect to be discovered by you. ”

"Who the hell are you, and what is your purpose?" said Wright.

"Ahh

Wright was startled, and turned around to see that two more masked men had appeared behind him and had kidnapped Alice. "Let her go, what do you want?" said Wright, who began to emit mana, fluctuating more and more powerful for everyone to feel.

"Don't mess around, high-level space magician, Young Master Wright. The masked man who changed from a subordinate said: "Think clearly before you start, whether you can really do what you want to do." Before he finished speaking, seven or eight more masked men came out.

"Let go of me, you bastards. Alice struggled constantly, but couldn't break free from the masked man's iron pincer-like hands.

"Don't move, Princess Alice. If you provoke it again, don't blame me if you accidentally hurt it. ”

Alice saw a strange golden snake slipping out of his sleeve crawling on top of him and slipping into his neck, and was immediately frightened and did not dare to move, but said, "You...... Since you know who I am, don't you let me go. ”

"Let you go?" The masked man laughed, "We waited for a few days before we finally waited for the opportunity to seize you, how could we let you go so easily." ”

Wright said: "What do you want to do by kidnapping the princess? Do you want money? How much do you want, let's make a price, three million or five million?"

"Hmph, it's worthy of being the duke's son, and his words are atmospheric. The masked man sneered: "It's a pity, our purpose this time is not for money." But if you say that, then hand over everything that is valuable to you. ”,

"It's not for money, so what are you for?"

Another masked man slapped Alice in the face and said sharply, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up, hand over the valuable things." ”

"You ......" Wright was furious, and could only hold back with his fists clenched, and searched out all the valuable things on his body and put them on the ground.

A guy picked up all the things on the ground and looked at them, and said with a smile: "Hehe, although there are not many things, each one is valuable, and this bracelet alone is probably worth hundreds of thousands." "He took Wright's 'Glendel's Summoning Bracelet' and put it on his hand with great pride.

"Very obedient. The masked man who had been turned from a subordinate at the head said: "It seems that you should know what the consequences will be if the princess of the dignified Demon Moon Empire dies in Arante. ”

Wright, of course, knew that the consequences would be devastating.

Alice also panicked, and cried out, "You dare......! Do you know who my master is, he will definitely kill you. ”

"Oh, Her Royal Highness and Master, I would like to hear it. A masked man asked.

Alice said: "My master is an ice child, he is an ice magician, if you dare to hurt me, just wait for death!"

"Oh MYGOD, it's a magician, I'm really scared. The masked man laughed, "It's a pity he's not here, so you should be afraid of me now." I'm a person who likes beautiful women, so it's best not to let me fall in love with you, beautiful princess. His hand touched Alice's face and neck......

"Stop, bastard!" Wright cried out, "Tell me what you really want to do? You are from St. Vickya, do you want to provoke the relationship between our country and the Demon Moon Empire?"

"Don't guess, Master Wright. The masked man at the head said: "Our purpose is simple. Isn't the final of the Alchemy Contest about to begin? ”

Wright's deep brow softened: "So that's what your purpose is? Then you must be an alchemist, or employed by some alchemist." Since you're not in it for the money, it's ...... I understand. ”

"It's good that I understand, I won't go around in circles with you. The masked man at the head said: "That's right, our boss wants to win this competition, so powerful people like you must be eliminated to ensure that our boss doesn't have any risk of winning the championship." Speaking of which, Master Wright, you're too upset. As an imperial family, you can completely let the imperial government recommend you to study in the Holy Garden, and weishenme has to compete with us for a place in the alchemy competition, you are really hateful. ”

"Hmph. Wright said coldly: "Recommend something, I'm not rare, I want to enter the Holy Garden with my own ability." ”

"But by doing so, you're violating our interests, understand?" said the masked man.

Wright said: "If you do this, aren't you afraid of being known and wanted by the government?"

"Wanted?" the masked man at the head laughed, "Who hasn't been wanted in another country now? As long as I leave your border, what can you do with me?"

Wright said: "Since your purpose is the Alchemy Competition, it has nothing to do with Princess Alice, let her go." ”

The masked man smiled and said, "Hehe, Master Wright, what are you kidding? Princess Alice is the only capital we have to negotiate with you, let her go, are you an idiot for us?"

"Well, I promise you that I won't participate in this alchemy competition. Now you can put the princess away. ”

The masked man at the head said: "Young Master Wright, I said it, don't treat us for idiots. How can we believe what you say without evidence?"

"And what do you want?"

"Not very good. The masked man at the head said: "Before the final of the alchemy competition is over, I have to grieve Her Royal Highness the princess and deign to stay with us for a few days." ”

"You ......"

"But don't worry, as long as you don't participate in the alchemy competition, we won't hurt Her Royal Highness. Take the princess away. The masked man at the leader pointed at Wright and shook his finger again, meaning to warn him not to chase him.

Wright had no choice but to watch them take Alice away.
