Zhu Miao swallowed her saliva and carefully touched the jade bracelet in her hand: "It feels so good. Sister, you have nothing to be afraid of now, right?"

“…I’m still a little scared.”

Zhu He said, "I get along very well with my aunt. She's mentioned several times that she wants to become my sworn brother. I think she was only half joking."

Zhu Miao: “0_0”

……

……

It's February now.

Tian Yi received the long-awaited message from the Rat Girl. He waved his hand, and a light screen appeared. The Rat Girl on the screen looked embarrassed. She bowed to Tian Yi before speaking, "I am currently in the capital of the Plai Kingdom. In recent months, this country has been recruiting soldiers. Regardless of gender, anyone who has practiced fighting spirit and magic, even those at the level of a magician, must enlist."

Tian Yi: "Get to the point."

The Rat Girl said, “Tina and I have been hiding well, but we were recently discovered by the Dawn Corps, and now they are tracking us.

I feel like I won't be able to escape this time. Once they catch me, I'll probably be forcibly sent to the front lines."

Tian Yi looked at her: "My patience is limited."

The rat girl lowered her head and said, "I don't mean anything else. I just hope that the Grandmaster can know that Tina and I are in a situation that is beyond our control."

Tian Yi chuckled: "You have been found, but it was the Dragon Girl who found you. Although she forced you away and accused you of desertion,

But you know deep down that she is actually trying to help you, to get you out of that devil's den, so when she asks you for help this time, you want to agree."

The rat girl lowered her head and replied, "Yes."

In fact, she was not surprised at all that she was discovered.

But her intuition told her that as long as she didn't play tricks on the person in front of her, she would not die, so she dared to do so.

Tian Yi chuckled, "That dragon girl seems to think she's very clever."

The Rat Girl looked at him puzzledly: "Grandmaster, the Dragon Girl didn't mention you, and neither did I. It was my own idea to come to you this time."

Tian Yi said, "Compared to you, she is indeed very smart. But I don't like such self-righteous people. Tell me, what task did she assign you?"

The Rat Girl answered truthfully, "We're heading to the border of the Holy Empire to bring some nobles to the Primordial Kingdom."

"I see."

Tian Yi smiled and said, "The Dragon Girl wants to give me something that originally belonged to me and is in my hands as a favor."

The Rat Girl looked at him puzzledly: "Grandmaster, I don't quite understand."

Tian Yi said, "When nobles defect, they will definitely take a lot of property with them. She wants to tell me the location of these people through you so that I can obtain these properties."

The rat girl's eyes widened: "Is she trying to show goodwill?"

"Do not."

Tian Yi said, "She is putting herself in the shoes of the chess player and wants to deal with me directly.

It seems that she also has a lot of resentment towards Chi Ruyuan."

The rat girl lowered her head and dared not speak.

Tian Yi said: "In fact, I am a very tolerant person. If someone really shows kindness to me, as long as this person does not touch my bottom line, I will respond with kindness.

But unfortunately, she doesn't meet this requirement.

The movements of those nobles have been under my watch, and there are also spies planted by our people along the border. She must have known that she couldn't get those treasures, so she wanted to "give them to me".

What do you think this practice is called?"

The rat girl still didn't dare to speak, but her face became even paler.

Tian Yi smiled and said, "The Dragon Girl is near you, right? Let's go find her now. I also want to give her a gift."

There was no room for doubt in his calm tone.

The Rat Girl wanted to ask the being in her consciousness whether he would kill the Dragon Girl, but before she could speak, her body couldn't help but move.

He sneaked into the ground, moved underground, and appeared in the courtyard of the Dragon Girl's base. He walked to the window of her room with ease.

Her forehead was covered with sweat. She wanted to speak, but she couldn't utter a word.

Until the window opened, a girl with long aqua-blue hair appeared in front of her: "You came to me at this time because someone wants you to--"

The voice paused.

Suddenly, a breathtaking sword intent burst out from the empty eyes of the Rat Girl.

The dragon girl's calm face suddenly turned into one of horror.

She had no time to react, she only felt the sword's intent pierce through her ear, a piece of flesh fell on her shoulder, bounced up, and fell to the ground.

Blood is flowing, falling continuously,

The dragon girl was stiff all over. She didn't care about the pain in her broken ear and just stared at the rat girl blankly.

The Rat Girl said with a blank expression, "Take the heads of all the nobles who have fled from the Theocracy to the Kingdom of Plei in the past ten years, along with their property, and send them to Earl Magnus's mansion on the western border."

As the voice fell, the rat girl's body softened and she collapsed to the ground.

The Dragon Girl also felt the pressure ease, and she sat down on the ground as well. She covered her still bleeding ear and looked at the Rat Girl with a pale face: "What did you say to that person?"

The rat girl shook her head: "I didn't say anything, but he guessed you."

“…He’s so scary.”

What the Dragon Girl feared was not the opponent's strength, but the suffocating feeling of having even the smallest thoughts seen through.

The Rat Girl asked, "Are you going to do this?"

The Dragon Girl slowly stood up and said, "How can I refuse? Not only do I have to do it, but I also have to replenish the wealth of those impoverished nobles and do my best to satisfy them."

Chapter 281 How did the enemy’s trump card become your trump card?

Half a month later,

The western border of the Twin Holy Kingdoms, the Earldom of Magnus.

Lord's Mansion,

Earl Magnus frowned as he looked at the valuables piled up in the yard in front of him.

Next to him, a middle-aged man with a mustache and wearing a butler's uniform said, "The people who delivered the supplies said there will be three more batches. We need to complete the inventory and put them into storage as soon as possible."

There are 3 more batches?

Earl Magnus took a deep breath and asked, "This is just the first batch? What do you estimate its value is?"

The middle-aged man with a mustache said: "If we go by the market price, it should be 320 billion Blue Hui notes."

As the earl of the border military power, the Magnus family is very rich.

But when he heard the 320 billion Blue Hui notes, Earl Magnus still couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

The wealth owned by their Magnus family, including the value of the territory and various real estate, is only about this amount.

And there will be three more batches of such huge treasures.

Is this a test of his determination?

Seeing the patriarch's silence, the middle-aged man with a mustache asked, "Patriarch, they said that this is the property of the nobles who defected from the Twin Holy Kingdom to the Plai Kingdom in the past ten years.

But according to the intelligence we have gathered, more than half of the nobles who defected are now living in poverty, and only a small number have managed to keep their property.

The combined wealth of these people is not even one tenth of the amount in front of me."

Count Magnus said, "Maybe that's not the way it's calculated."

The middle-aged man with a mustache looked at him puzzledly: "How do you calculate that?"

Earl Magnus said, "This should be the amount of wealth those people possessed when they were in the Theocracy."

The middle-aged man with a mustache stood there in a daze.

Earl Magnus sighed and said, "Why do you think the Kingdom of Plei was so kind as to send these treasures back?"

Yeah, why?

Although their territory is not adjacent to the Kingdom of Pulai, as border nobles guarding one side, they are very sensitive to intelligence about the war.

Therefore, they not only knew that the Kingdom of Plai had been recruiting soldiers recently, but also knew that these recruits were training with the Twin Holy Kingdom as their imaginary enemy.

However, such a potential enemy, at this critical moment, sent a large amount of money and property to the target of the war he was about to start.

This kind of aiding the enemy is wrong no matter how you think about it.

In silence, a servant came forward to report: "Master, the young master has returned with his classmates."

"Creed? Why is he back at this hour?"

Earl Magnus rubbed his brow and said, "Take him to the reception room first."

……

……

10 minutes later,

Count Magnus walked into the reception room, where five figures were already sitting.

His son Creed, and four teenagers dressed in attire of the middle class of Gemini Sacred Academy.

Count Magnus glanced at the group and then gave a noble salute to a blond young man among the five people: "Your Excellency the Twelfth Saint, welcome."

The sudden courtesy made Al a little overwhelmed, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

Creed sighed. "Father, there's no need for this. Al is here as my companion, and this time he's not here to visit me, but to carry out a mission."

On a mission?

Count Magnus asked, "Is there anything the Magnus family can help me with?"

Creed didn't bother to talk nonsense. He directly took out a document and handed it forward: "Indeed, I do. I hope Earl Magnus will cooperate."

Count Magnus took the document and opened it. He glanced at it and his expression changed slightly.

To transport this treasure.

He looked at Creed and asked seriously, "Do you know how terrifyingly valuable this treasure is? You five, without even a magic rank, want to send it from here to the Holy City?"

Creed replied expressionlessly, "I almost know, and we have more to transport. After receiving the property, we have to make a detour to Ambuse Territory, where there is another batch."

The Marquisate of Ambose is located on the southern border of the Twin Holy Kingdom, right next to the Kingdom of Ple.

Earl Magnus frowned. "What's with this unreasonable mission? Do the academy's leaders want you to die?"

Creed said, "This is confidential. I ask for Earl Magnus's cooperation."

Awkward communication between father and son.

Seeing this, Lawrence, one of the five-man team, said, "Please rest assured, Count. Even if the value of the things we carry increases tenfold, no magician will take action."

Count Magnus looked at him and asked, "What's the basis?"

Lawrence said: "The reason is that, just like when the Kingdom of Pulai sent us money, it is full of bitterness and helplessness. Of course, this is for the enemy.

We...are just taking this opportunity to gain experience in field missions."

I can't understand it at all.

But this guy mentioned that the Kingdom of Pulai sent money?

Earl Magnus vaguely sensed something and said, "There are three more batches on the way, and they will be delivered later. Everyone, please rest here first. If you need anything, please call the maid outside."

Lawrence smiled politely and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, Earl."

Earl Magnus nodded and turned to look at Creed: "Come with me."

……

……

In the study,

Count Magnus asked, "What's going on?"

Creed looked at his father. "Before I answer, I'd like to ask, Father, have you ever considered transferring your family property to another country? Or... simply defecting with your territory?"
