"In fact, I can tell without asking that he is probably sent by Darius."

Princess Ariel said softly.

Ariel knew very well what kind of enemy she would face.

Lin Yu didn't know anything about Darius, but it didn't matter because he had his own way of doing things.

"Since you know who will do something to you, there is no reason to save this person's life."

Lin Yu knew the man's life more quickly and decisively than a dagger.

Liniana and Pulsena will be responsible for the burial, and the original atmosphere will not change at all because of this episode.

On the second day, everyone continued on their journey, but it was from this time that the situation they faced became more serious.

Because what you can feel is that the gazes from all around are becoming more and more numerous and dense.

Even if the people who came yesterday have been dealt with, there will still be people who continue to come forward to carry out the mission.

"It seems your life is valuable."

Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh.

"Why, does this make you feel excited?"

"If you take me to see Darius, you can probably make a lot of money."

Ariel blinked.

"I don't have this interest. Money has no meaning to me."

Lin Yu laughed.

Although he said that, Lin Yu could clearly hear the driver complaining.

Luke was probably complaining about Ariel saying nice things but not actually rejecting her financial support.

Lin Yu didn't care, it was just a childish behavior.

Although there were a lot of eyes around, the day was peaceful.

"Perhaps it's because we are about to reach the capital, so these people don't dare to take action at this time."

In the evening, Luke put forward his own suggestions.

"No, they can't possibly have such an idea. There is only one reason why they didn't do it: they were not sure."

"Even now, there are a lot of eyes around us, they are just waiting, waiting for more people to arrive."

Lin Yu said lightly.

"It seems that we will have a big battle before reaching our destination. This can even be said to be a big trouble."

Lin Yu said again.

"If that's the case, should we take the initiative tonight?"

Luke is not a blockhead, he can listen to Lin Yu's opinions.

To a large extent, it was Lin Yu's previous magic that made Luke have a certain sense of him.

And in the current situation, only Lin Yu has strong enough combat power.

"It's not recommended to do that, because they will only think that Luke and Fitz were responsible for the previous person's death, instead of suspecting me."

"If we do something to them now, they will realize that there is a bad guy in the team."

"We should try not to give them a chance to recruit new personnel before we enter the capital."

Lin Yu said softly.

Lin Yu's suggestion was adopted, and the night wind was particularly cold.

Ariel huddled her legs and leaned on Lin Yu's shoulders.

"It looks like we're in big trouble now, but you're not scared at all."

Because of their close physical proximity, Lin Yu could feel Ariel's current physical condition.

"Now is not the most dangerous moment. The fight for the throne has always been a life-and-death struggle, but there are still rules and order on this basis."

"I just have ambitions to sit on the throne, but fortunately I have hidden it well. To my brother, I am probably just a potential threat rather than a clear threat."

"This trip isn't that dangerous. If something unexpected does happen, we'll be caught."

"I will probably be sent out safely, but the people around me will be cleansed."

Ariel said softly.

Her voice was quiet, probably because it was late enough and she didn't want to disturb others' rest.

But it was precisely because of such remarks that Liniana and Pulsena's bodies stiffened, and their teeth seemed to be trembling at this moment.

"Master, you lied to us again. If we had known it was so dangerous, we would not have come."

Pulsena grabbed Lin Yu's sleeve and shook his arm gently.

"Oh, you guys haven't slept yet."

Ariel pretended to be surprised.

"It's okay, I will try my best to keep you safe."

Lin Yu touched Pulsena's head.

Liniana and Pulsena are both vengeful and emotional. If this journey was relatively harmonious before, they also maintained a good relationship with Ariel.

But from this moment on, their feelings towards Ariel changed deep in their hearts.

The relationship between them may no longer be as good as before.

After waking up the next day, the group continued on their journey. There was only one day left to reach their destination, and they should enter the royal capital tonight.

But that's why we need to focus.

There would be some movement in the woods from time to time, and those hiding in the dark seemed to be unable to hold back.

In the evening, the carriage suddenly stopped and hundreds of people completely surrounded the carriage from the front and back.

They were not wearing the uniforms associated with Western Europe in the Kingdom, they were deliberately dressing themselves up like bandits.

But generally speaking, why are there so many bandits on the road in front of the royal capital?

This is simply courting death.

"Robbery, hand over all valuables, and let everyone in the carriage get out."

The leader shouted with a knife in hand.

The long knife pointed at Luke's forehead.

Luke held the reins with one hand and placed his other hand on the sword.

"Do you know whose car this is? You are so brave!"

Luke drew the sword from his waist.

But these bandits would not give him a chance. Since they dared to come, they of course brought weapons and equipment, and several sabers were swinging at the same time.

All the horses' legs were cut off, and they neighed sharply. The carriage sank suddenly and the horses overturned due to the pain.

Luke was obviously in a mess as he was thrown to the ground, but Fitz was able to land safely with the help of magical means.

Liniana and Pulsena did not deliberately try to maintain their balance. Their battles were closer to the ground, and they were able to exert their maximum abilities only when they were on the ground.

As for Princess Ariel, she was picked up by Lin Yu when the carriage overturned. Lin Yu let her go only after she stood firm.

"What do you want?"

Lin Yu glanced at the people around him. "I'm only here for money. As long as you cooperate, I can guarantee that your lives will not be threatened in any way."

The leading man waved his hand, and the people around him quickly approached.

"If you were just here to make money, why did you bring so many weapons and equipment? You are clearly very professional, and you even have a magician."

Lin Yu stood in front of Ariel and faced the enemy.

"You are quite a character. You are still so calm even at this time. But I don't like people like you."

"You guys are not cooperating at all. Most likely you won't realize the situation you are facing until you see blood."

The leading man waved his hand again, and his men stepped forward quickly.

Luke's position was relatively forward, so he was the first one to be attacked.

But Luke’s own strength was not that strong, and it didn’t take long before he was captured.

And during the whole process, Lin Yu didn't even have the intention to take action.

Originally Fitz wanted to take action, but was stopped by Ariel.

"Did you hear what he said that day?"

Ariel suddenly asked.

"What are you talking about?"

Lin Yu replied calmly.

"When you arrived at the student union meeting room that day, you said you came to discuss the departure time with me, but before that you were outside the door, so you must have heard something."

"Like what Luke said about you."

Ariel said.

"I'm not such a petty person, but Luke needs to calm down. Only after he suffers a loss can he calm down and think."

"I'm not doing this for him, I'm doing this for you. Only reliable people can use it easily."

Lin Yu shrugged.

"Now, throw out all the money you have on you and put it on the ground."

Of course, the show had to be done in full. The leading man used a long knife to cut Luke's arm, and blood flowed down his arm.

He originally thought that capturing the knight Luke would probably make these people feel afraid.

But they didn't make any move.

"Why, do you think you will obey me only if I chop off his head?"

Unexpectedly, the first person to get impatient was the gangster, who shouted loudly.

Because this was so different from what he had imagined.

"Believe it or not, you can't chop off his head. Instead, you will die first."

Lin Yu remained calm.

"Well, let's give it a try. You have succeeded in angering me, not just this person. Now all of you have to pay the price for your non-cooperation."

The leader almost squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.

But just as he was about to take action, Lin Yu stretched out his hand, and spikes formed on the ground, piercing through his neck and skull.

Kill with one strike, there is no time to even react, because Lin Yu's magic release has almost no process, during the long-term experimental research.

Lin Yu's magic release speed has also been greatly improved accordingly, coupled with the magic that he can perform without chanting.

He can have a considerable advantage in actual combat.

The leader was dead, but the rest of them still wanted to rush up and attack.

This is the main reason why they are most likely not simple bandits, because ordinary bandits are unlikely to have such a will.

According to the general style of bandits, they should scatter like monkeys when the tree falls.

However, this is also a good opportunity for Lin Yu to show his achievements.

After the leader died, Luke's position did not change. He was far away from Lin Yu, but very close to the gangsters.

The gangsters will attack him just the same, only faster and in greater numbers.

Lin Yu waved his hand, and the debuff magic instantly covered the entire range. The speed of these people became extremely slow, both in terms of movement speed and attack speed.

Even their senses were affected; the five senses were not missing, but weakened.

Liniana and Pulsena's reactions were quite obvious, probably because their five senses were already strong to begin with, and the sudden weakening made them feel unprecedentedly uncomfortable.

To be honest, Lin Yu did overlook this point, because when this magic was released, it did not distinguish between friend and foe.

Even the people on his side will be affected. Lin Yu can cast spells on a range, or lock and release on a single target.

Luke had already closed his eyes and prepared himself for his own end, but he didn't expect the attack to not fall on him.

The movements of everyone except Lin Yu were affected, and the spikes rising from the ground killed the bandits one by one.

Blood splattered on Luke's clothes and face.

The magic was not lifted by Lin Yu until the last bandit died. During the whole process, Lin Yu had enough time to save Luke.

The magic was withdrawn and action returned to normal.

The most shocked person was not Luke, the person involved, nor Ariel, who hoped to get Lin Yu's help.

But it was Fitz, because she had a talent for magic, had seen geniuses, and had solid basic skills, and was a good student with top grades.

That's why she was able to realize what Lin Yu had done, which was definitely epoch-making magic.

"What is that? Is it the magic that can be learned in the academy?"

Fitz asked questions before anyone else. What just happened completely overturned everything she had learned.

"Magic is omnipotent. You are shocked only because you lack creative imagination and firm determination."

Lin Yu said softly.

"That's the master's research. We are the first ones to know the effect. After all, the master has tested it on us many times."

Liniana seemed very proud of this, with her hands on her hips, full of satisfaction.

Luke was half-kneeling on the ground. If he hadn't still maintained the interests and dignity of a knight, he would probably be in a much more embarrassed state than he was now.

Luke is certainly a loyal knight, and if the choice is between him and Ariel, he can throw away his life without hesitation.

But those who have never walked through the underworld will never know the preciousness of life. The word "sacrifice" sounds noble, but many people only know how to write these two words but never understand their meaning.

A person who has never tried his best cannot be understood.

At that moment, he realized that his life might be coming to an end. He thought of many things, as if he was living his life again from beginning to end.

"How does it feel to die?"

Lin Yu reached out his hand towards Luke.

"To be honest, it's not pleasant at all."

Luke said honestly.

Lin Yu helped Luke up from the ground. Without the carriage, they could only walk.

Liniana and Pulsena searched through the bodies but found nothing that could identify the men.

At most they can find some poison, and if necessary they can even commit suicide by taking poison. (End of this chapter)
