The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

To regard them as enemies...to regard them as enemies...

The girl tries to hypnotize herself to give up her pointless compassion, kindness, and weakness. Having nothing, she wants to live and kill all her enemies, so she has to become indifferent.

The young girl, whose life experience was very short, didn't know if this was true or not, but from the history she had read or the stories of bards, all the avengers were like this.

Of course, there is also the most important question: can I really beat these two guys?

The girl tensed up; in the somewhat dark alley, her scarlet pupils seemed to radiate an eerie light in the eyes of the two drug addicts.

The two of them were stunned by the light, but when they came to their senses a little more, they realized that it was just their imagination.

They quickly fell into a frenzy again, opening their mouths wide as they charged at Maginos, shouting, "Give us your money!"

As Maginus watched, their speed slowed down as she focused intently, which surprised the girl. She was no longer able to cast spells, yet she was still able to observe this without being affected.

Is it because the soul was unaffected?

The girl questioned herself, dodged the feeble attack by turning to the side, kicked the male drug addict in the chest, and crouched down to sweep her outstretched left leg across the female drug addict's ankle.

There are many ways to observe enemy movements and attacks. Before reaching the intermediate level, non-spellcasters mainly rely on dynamic vision, that is, their eyes. A few people can use their remaining senses of hearing, smell, taste, and touch to perceive.

Unlike non-spellcasters, spellcasters are physically weaker. When facing extremely fast-moving enemies, in addition to using spells to lock onto them, they can also use magic or the special perception brought by their souls to deal with fast-moving enemies.

Maginus could no longer use magic to lock onto her opponent. After just two moves, she could feel that her dynamic vision seemed to have been greatly enhanced compared to before.

Not only her dynamic vision, but also the perception ability brought by her soul was not weakened. She forgot how to cast spells, forgot how to use magic to lock onto enemies, but she could still predict and calculate the opponent's actions.

I'll take a closer look at my current state when I get back.

Having solved her survival problem, the girl was finally able to calmly observe herself.

A chill ran down her spine, and Maginus immediately snapped back to reality. A slight breeze at her ankle made her jump up slightly. The drug addict lying on the ground missed his dagger strike, and before he could continue his attack, the girl stepped on his back!

"Ahem!!"

The man's head tilted back, but Maginus pressed it back to the ground with one hand. He raised the dagger high in his hand, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes as he tried to convince himself otherwise.

Kill him, for he's going to kill me; kill him, he's just a drug addict, no need for pity; this is a step I have to go through, do it, do it!

Her right hand, gripping the dagger tightly, trembled. The girl's breathing grew heavier. Despite never having killed anything before, she continued to struggle, the black and red in her eyes expanding and contracting.

Just then, she sensed the danger behind her, turned to the side to let the female drug addict's dagger glide past her ear, and watched as the extremely ferocious face slowly approached. She tightened her grip on the man's head with her left hand and made up her mind.

Pfft!

The exquisite dagger sliced ​​across the woman's throat, then plunged into the man's throat, both of them simultaneously displaying expressions of astonishment.

The woman, who was able to move freely, dropped the dagger and covered her throat, trying to stop the blood from spurting out. The man used all his strength to break free of his restraints and pressed on the side of his throat, also trying to save his life.

The girl who had done all this had blood splattered on her clothes and cheeks, but she remained expressionless as she watched the two people who had fallen to the ground and were struggling.

Smelling the metallic scent in the air, Maginot's struggling and hesitant heart inexplicably calmed down. The complex emotions she felt about the death she had caused were firmly suppressed deep inside her, and she didn't know when they would erupt.

The emotions included guilt, fear, helplessness... but also excitement hidden deep within.

Turning and walking out of the alley, she didn't notice that the blood flowing on the ground was approaching her at an extremely slow speed. After walking a distance, the blood attracted by her stopped moving.

As she stepped back into the sunlight, the poor people noticed the bloodstains on Maginus's body and immediately withdrew their gaze, temporarily suppressing their desire to harm her.

As they walked back into the small house, Jack paused for a moment when he saw the bloodstains on Maginus, then shrugged and said, "Wait, I'll go get you some clothes."

Chapter 29 The Strange Things About the Body

The other children were only curious about Maginus, who was stained with blood, and were not even afraid. She took the clothes Jack handed her, thanked him, and went into an empty room to change.

After changing, Maginus took her blood-stained clothes to the creek in the slums and tried to wash them herself, while also washing away the bloodstains on her face and hands, all the while thinking about her physical condition.

Teacher Santi and the book mentioned that the pastors and mages of the Church of the King of Knowledge had simply divided the condition of the body and soul into six attributes.

Representing physical strength, constitution, and agility, and representing the soul's intelligence, charm, and perception, this is just a simple division. The three attributes of each are closely related and belong to intersecting lines rather than parallel lines.

Simply put, when it comes to a person's running speed, strength can enhance a person's explosive power, which naturally allows a person to burst out at a speed higher than usual in a short period of time. Physique allows the speed to be maintained for a longer period of time, while agility can improve a person's basic speed.

Using the example of sensing enemy attacks, we can discuss the soul. Intelligence allows Maginus to predict enemy behavior through calculation, while charm allows the surrounding magic to actively warn her. Perception is even more closely related, enabling one to keenly sense any slight movement.

These are the most basic things. In addition, you can acquire all sorts of skills through training. Non-spellcasters who have been walking between life and death for a long time can enhance their sense of danger. Spellcasters can use various skills to keep up with non-spellcasters who are moving at high speeds.

Maginus was certain that her physical condition was extremely weak after her resurrection, just like she had been affected by a weakening spell. The only difference was that this weakness did not affect her normal actions; everything remained at a level that allowed her to move normally.

Not only that, because of the weight loss, she was even able to easily climb over walls that she couldn't climb in the past, although she had undergone wall-climbing training before, but that training was only an aid.

After eating five large pieces of black bread, even though she looked the same as before, the girl felt that she had regained her ability to unleash bursts of energy, such as sprinting and striking.

This likely involves supernatural abilities. There are many doubts about her resurrection, and Maginus is not quite sure what changes have occurred to her body.

At the same time, there is also a soul. Logically speaking, she has been dead for a full one or two hours, and her soul should have weakened to some extent, especially in a place like a cemetery. Her soul is filled with negative emotions and should have been eroded by negative energy into an undead creature of the soul type.

However, she did not feel any discomfort, which Maginus could understand to some extent. The disappearance of her magical equipment and magical knowledge was probably to offset the side effects.

The loss of things after birth ensures that her intelligence, charm, and perception are not affected... Oh, charm is affected; it's mixed with physical beauty, personal influence on others, and also represents affinity for special things and many other aspects. Her charm has certainly declined now.

Raising her hand to touch her cheek, the girl closed her eyes and let her thoughts wander. She could sense the magic in the air even without any special techniques; it was a combination of charm and perception.

Having lost spellcasting skills and magical knowledge, intelligence can no longer affect magic power, but it is more useful for close combat.

"I wonder if my powerful charisma and perception will allow me to acquire new magical knowledge and learn new magic through bloodline or nature again..."

Maginus muttered to herself, but this was far too uncertain. It would be more plausible to think about stealing a spellbook from a mage's house.

In short, the need for food has been temporarily alleviated, and now it's time to consider the issue of strength.

After wringing out her clothes with great effort, Maginus returned to the dilapidated house and hung them up wherever she could find a spot. She habitually stroked her dagger and looked at the big tree outside the house. She hugged the trunk and carefully climbed up, breaking off a straight branch that resembled a sword.

Grabbing a tree branch, Maginus left the house and went specifically to the wasteland near old Velen's house. Once there, she gripped her longsword, closed her eyes, and began to recall the past.

Hold the sword like this, understand? Come on, swing it with force. Darling, just like magic, you should wield it like a friend, let it help you. Hmm, Maggie, I'll teach you how to use a greatsword then; a regular longsword is a bit too big for you.

Beth and Kadenau's words echoed in her ears again, and the girl once again couldn't help but shed tears. She rubbed her eyes hard, gripped the branch that was much lighter than a longsword, and began to swing it around, trying to find the feeling.

She learned two types of swordsmanship from Beth and Kadenau, one for a greatsword and the other for a longsword. She simply memorized the moves by rote using her powerful memory. Now, she is training with a tree branch instead of a greatsword.

Maginus continued waving the branch until her arms ached and her palms were raw and bleeding from the bark. Only then did she put down the branch, clench her fists, and feel the pain, which ironically lessened her grief.

She even rubbed her palms together to stimulate herself, revealing a bitter smile. She picked up a branch similar to the dagger in her arms and waved it lightly, trying to find the feeling of attacking with a dagger.

I wonder how Brother Wang is doing. Should I go and find out what's going on?

Maginus turned his gaze to the more bustling areas of the capital, feeling somewhat worried about Vokri's situation.

Even her brother might not recognize her now, and so much time has passed without any enemies coming to her door, indicating that prophetic magic poses no immediate danger to her, who has been resurrected.

Given that she was originally a "decorative" princess who didn't participate in management, the enemy's attention was probably focused on the third prince.

……

As time passed and the sun began to set, Maginot went to the bakery and ate five large loaves of bread before returning to her dilapidated house to rest. She closed her eyes and fell into a light sleep until night fell and Jack woke her up again.

"Hey, Jimo, are we going to scout locations or carry out any operations today?"

The leader of the children looked at him with concern and propped himself up with his hands: "Go."

Upon arriving at the street within the White Hand Gang's territory, she found that the mansion she had previously visited had a new doorman. The new doorman was still sleeping by the gate, but he had brought a dog with him. It seemed she would have to find a different target.

She needs more money to buy heavily oiled and sugary bread to speed up her recovery.

Chapter 30 Progress

"So, the divination spell can't find Maggie's location? Hmm, that's good news."

In the dark basement, Walker breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that the wizard couldn't find his sister. Although he didn't know how his sister had managed it, he knew that if she were caught, those people would definitely find a way to make him realize that Maggie was with them.

Fifteen days have passed since the two siblings were left, and Walker has spent those fifteen days trying to find a way out of this sealed-off, sorrowful place.

Unfortunately, the enemy's defenses were too tight. Walker would be spotted by a divination mage within an hour of leaving the safe house, making escape impossible.

He could only stay here to direct the personnel who had gone into hiding, and then go out to take action every now and then.

Can I really restore my country and avenge my family?

Walker had no confidence, but even for his own sake and for his only family member Maggie, he had to shoulder the burden.

Walker's movements suddenly stopped as he rubbed the armrest of his chair. He heard some sounds coming from above him, the voices of soldiers talking through a special device.

"Damn it, why were we sent to investigate the sewers?"

"Stop complaining. It's just bad luck. Speaking of which, those wizards are really useless. They haven't been able to pinpoint the last two members of the royal family in this country for so long. I don't know what they're doing."

"Keep your voice down, don't worry about them hearing us," the footsteps were already directly above Walker. "It's really strange, Walker has some clues and can confirm that he's in this area, but they can't find that princess named Maginus anywhere."

"I've heard some rumors about this. It's said that the princess was originally killed by the spy next to her, but for some reason she came back to life..."

As the sounds faded into the distance, Walker relaxed. He already knew what the soldiers were talking about, including Susan's betrayal and the rumors of his sister's "resurrection."

He thought it was just a rumor. If it really was the spirit of the ancestors in the cemetery, why not just kill all the enemies?

After a short while, the door to the hideout opened, and the old man Mordran entered and bowed: "Your Highness, as you instructed, we searched the vicinity of the slums, but we did not find Her Highness."

"As for the red-haired personnel, there are many, and it's impossible to bring them all."

Walker knew where the cemetery led, and immediately ordered his men to search for the girl near the slums, but they couldn't find her anywhere.

Although he was certain that she was still alive and had not fallen into the hands of the enemy, the boy was already somewhat terrified about how Maggie was doing. He could only silently pray to the world itself that she would not suffer any misfortune.

"I'll go myself..." Walker wanted to go find his sister himself, but then he stopped himself when he thought about the current situation. "Let's deal with other things first. How's the reconnaissance of the key locations going?"

He was referring to the various locations where the enemy and traitors were temporarily stationed. At the crucial moment, he would send people to harass them so that he and Maggie could have a chance to escape from this inescapable trap.

"Reconnaissance complete. Their forces are too strong, and we don't have enough manpower to mobilize. It would be best to harass the most critical point."

"The most crucial place is the royal tomb; they are definitely still searching for treasure."

Walker instinctively looked toward the location of the royal tombs, clenched his fists, and apologized to his ancestors in his heart. He was prepared to draw out the powerful negative energy in the tombs to awaken the corpses of his ancestors, causing extremely chaotic conditions there.

Awakening a corpse is an evil act, but at this point the Third Prince no longer cared about kindness or evil. Since they said the Imperius family had the blood of an evil god, he would do it now.

The boy, who was not much older than Maginus, stood up: "Grandpa Liu Ba Jiu Ba Ming Shi Liu Wu Ling Meng, let's go to other strongholds. This place is about to be discovered."

"Jimor, are you feeling any better? You don't look as scary as before."

In the slums, Maginus was stuffing a piece of bread, smeared with plenty of honey, raisins, and, at her request, bean flour, into her mouth, and said to the orphan she was speaking to:

"It's just that you've been with me for so long that you don't find me scary anymore."

The girl secretly touched her cheek, which did indeed have a little bit of plumpness. This made Maginus feel slightly threatened. Her ugly face was a kind of protection for her. If she really returned to her original appearance, she would definitely be targeted by a large group of people.

After swallowing the last piece of black bread, Maginus patted her bag of silver coins, told Jack that she wasn't going to "work" that night, and then left the dilapidated house.

The time was almost up. The girl could feel that although her appearance had not been repaired yet, her internal body was almost back to normal. If the repair continued, it would be a waste of this protective appearance.

She had almost saved enough money, and now she was about to face some dangers. Recalling the safe spots in her mind, she planned to spend the rest of her time slowly searching for them and trying to find a way to reunite with her brother.

As night fell, the capital city fell silent. The young girl, now familiar with the city, wandered through the alleys, dodging the patrolling soldiers and listening to the occasional sounds of beatings and curses coming from nearby.

The sounds of beatings and scoldings came from a night owl who had been accidentally discovered. The entire capital was under martial law, and being discovered at night inevitably resulted in being beaten, scolded, and taken away for questioning.

They won't die, but one of their "comrades" was arrested and then released. He was covered in wounds, but his bones weren't broken.

Maginus couldn't imagine being captured. No one could discover her identity now, and it was uncertain whether she would be caught.

Carefully navigating the darkness, she moved according to her memory and the map, finally stopping outside a small alley and cautiously peering at the street on the other side.

The safe spot was still a block away, but she had to be on her guard now, as neither Maginus's eyes nor ears detected anything suspicious.

She chose to close her eyes and cover her ears, wanting to try to use her senses and magical perception that required no skill to investigate the situation on the other side.

Sensing no danger, the girl took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and entered the alleyway when no one was around.

However, what Maginus didn't expect was that as soon as she stepped inside, the powerful perception granted by her soul made her realize that someone was watching her.

Chapter 31 Telepathy

Calm down... The person looking at me definitely doesn't know I'm Maginos, otherwise they would have come out already.

Unsure whether the other party was friend or foe, the suspicious girl chose to remain calm and continue forward, pretending to be a thief from the slums, heading towards the safe zone.

In the darkness, a scout on the rooftop watched the masked "boy" below. He frowned slightly as he looked at him, recalling the color of Maginos's hair in his mind. Confirming the difference between scarlet and light red, he remained where he was and did not choose to follow.

At this moment, the girl covered her ugly face with a cloth, and her bare, thin arms were wrapped with countless bandages to make them look less thin. Her body looked quite normal from the outside, not too emaciated.

This scout was from Whitney's side, and his mission was to bring back Maginus, who refused to acknowledge him. The "boy" in front of him might be Maginus who had come back from the dead, but he wouldn't gamble on the slim possibility.

It would be fine if it was Maginus, but if I brought back someone else, I might get reprimanded by my superiors. I'm just doing this for money, not a suicide squad. I only get paid a little each month, so there's no need for me to do more work.

With this thought in mind, the scout remained motionless, but still kept an eye on the red-haired thief's behavior. If "he" showed even the slightest action reminiscent of a princess, the scout would still complete the mission.

Maginos was unaware of the thought process of the person watching her; she could only feel a gaze fixed on her, and that even the slightest mistake could lead to her being completely locked onto.
