The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

“You will be able to kill many more enemies in the future, Maginus. Do not be blinded by the small gains in front of you.”

Suppressing the raging urge to kill within her, she stepped out of the sewers and returned to the manor, carrying a slight stench with her.

"Mine... Ugh, you smell awful! What were you doing?"

In the hallway, Lenya, who was about to return to her room, couldn't help but cover her nose when she smelled the stench of sewers emanating from Maginus.

"We searched the sewers for traces of the monster that kills nobles, but unfortunately we didn't find anything."

The girl said calmly that the bounty on her in the capital was very high, and her worth was a whole magical item.

"That monster who specializes in killing nobles still hasn't been caught? I hope I won't suddenly be eliminated..."

"Don't worry, as long as you don't act alone, even if monsters come looking for you, they won't cause you any harm."

Maginus offered a casual word of comfort, then returned to her bedroom to take a shower, before lying in bed and summoning her Nen Blade.

The short sword, reflecting her emotions, seemed to twist slightly in her hand, as if it were slowly extending and lengthening, but it quickly retracted again.

Maginus is training two new combat techniques: Time Materialization and Mind Blade Shaping.

In short, timely materialization means accelerating the creation of the Nen blade. Don't be fooled by how fast the girl is creating the Nen blade. What if someone attacks her before she can throw out the Nen blade and before she can swing the longsword in her other hand?

At that moment, the speed at which she recreated the Nen Blade determined whether she would survive.

Nen Blade Shaping involves altering the shape of the Nen Blade. Once mastered, the girl can change the shape of the Nen Blade, shaping it into a longsword or a greatsword.

Other types of Soul Blade users can naturally transform, but because the transformations are too complicated, almost no one spends time creating new Soul Blade shapes. Maginus only intends to shape the short sword into a longsword and a greatsword.

She will grow up; this is preparation for the future. As mentioned before, a short sword is to her what it's like for a 1.7-meter-tall person to wield a long sword, and a long sword is to her what it's like for a 1.7-meter-tall person to wield a giant sword.

These are the only two weapons she is proficient in right now.

What really caught Maginus's attention was the advanced technique of psychic blade shaping, which allowed her to directly fuse a psychic blade with a weapon, thus enhancing the weapon's power.

As time passed, the girl, feeling drowsy, closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she was in the Crimson Land. Looking at the monster emerging from the ground, the girl picked up her Nen Blade and tried to attack it.

Although she managed to destroy a bit of its bones each time, unfortunately, through repeated observation, Maginus discovered that as long as the Crimson Skull wasn't killed in a dream, it would revert to its original state.

The next morning, Maginos, who had been killed again, yawned and got up.

When she arrived at the restaurant, she found Lenia sitting at the table eating breakfast in a daze, so she took a piece of buttered bread from the kitchen and stuffed it into her mouth.

The two were having breakfast when Catherine rushed in from outside, bringing news that made Maginus pause for a moment.

"Miss, that noble assassin has struck again! This time, five people have gone missing!"

The girl, biting into her buttered bread, paused for a moment, then fell into deep thought.

She did indeed only kill one person. Who was responsible for the remaining four missing persons?

It seems my efforts are starting to bear fruit; copycats are gradually appearing.

Maginus came to the capital with the intention of stirring up trouble from the very beginning. The bigger the rumors she spreads, the more people who were already planning to take action will follow her and launch attacks, blaming all the deaths and injuries on the undead creatures known as the Noble Assassins.

The reason they didn't immediately expose the blood relatives of the cult members is this: as a cult, they probably also wanted to create chaos.

It's unknown whether they killed any of the four missing people.

As she was thinking this, the maid continued, "There's something else. A nobleman named Markuwall seems to have found traces of a noble assassin. That undead creature seems to be connected to a cultist who worships an evil god!"

Great, the dog-eat-dog fight has started smoothly.

Maginos swallowed the last bit of bread, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Besides framing the undead for the people you killed, accusing someone of being connected to a noble assassin is also a good option.

It can be concluded that if this continues, some enemies may be killed by others without Maginus even having to lift a finger.

This is the power of conflict and fear...

Chapter 158 Roatitat

Just as the atmosphere in the capital was becoming slightly tense, the information from Black Blood Clan Maku successfully drew everyone's attention.

The problem of cults is difficult for all countries to deal with. Like the orthodox churches, the evil gods of evil gods also exist, which makes it difficult to eradicate the problem of cults.

Of course, the most important reason is that the desires of the upper levels of intelligent beings are insatiable, and the thirst of the lower levels cannot be fulfilled, which allows evil gods to take advantage of the situation and corrupt intelligent beings at all levels who have negative emotions.

Not to mention the intelligent beings who are inherently evil.

When Marcus pointed out that the Noble Killer was actually a monster linked to a cult, the city guards immediately sprang into action, demanding more information from Marcus.

This blood relative of the evil god produced some kind of evidence, but in short, he convinced the city guards. A higher-ranking nobleman assigned him a squad that obeyed his orders and demanded that he solve the case as soon as possible.

After the maid finished recounting the story, Lenia wiped her lips and finished her meal, then asked about today's itinerary: "Catherine, who are you going to see today?"

Catherine immediately became serious, no longer laughing and joking as before:

"You will be meeting Sir Hawke and Sir Miar at home this morning, but the important part is in the evening when you will be visiting Earl Royaltytade."

Benedict Ted's father... I don't know if he was as serious as he said.

Standing to the side, Maginus was thinking that she had just stepped out of the restaurant and was about to go back to her room to prepare herself when Jess stood in the somewhat dimly lit corridor and reached out to stop her:

"Miss Mine, I need your help with something important."

The girl didn't ask any more questions, turned and walked into the darkness, entering Jess's room with him.

The handsome knight poured her a cup of black tea, sat opposite her, and continued explaining his need for the girls' help:

"We hope you can help us bring some things in and then throw them in the dry latrine used by the servants."

"Of course, no problem. But would it be alright to leave this to Catherine?"

Maginos readily agreed; she had a dimensional bag that could easily carry those items inside.

Jess gave the girl a meaningful look: "The Earl said that you are trusted more than Catherine, and besides, she doesn't have a magical tool as convenient as a dimensional bag."

"That would be an honor."

Maginus felt no gratitude for those words; she believed that once Elliott achieved his goal, the count would most likely want to get rid of her.

Who knows, maybe Captain Jess himself will lead the team to kill her.

Fast forward to evening, the carriage stopped in front of the grand manor gate. The guards reached out to stop the carriage, and only after the manor maids confirmed the passengers were they allowed to pass.

The group of people got out of their cars in front of the mansion gate and were quickly welcomed into the house by a large number of servants.

Maginus did not immediately take action. Instead, she slightly dispersed the life mist according to the map provided by Jess to check for any flaws in the map, so that their subsequent actions would be safer.

At least for now, they are not enemies, and the girl hopes they can live well so that she doesn't have to help Lenya all by herself.

Led by a maid to the reception room, Lenya sat down and waited for about ten minutes. She frowned slightly when she realized that no one had come to call her.

According to the timeline, the count should have summoned her to meet him by now, so why hasn't anyone come to inform her?

Just as Lenya was thinking this, a maid rushed over and bowed to apologize to her.

"Miss Lenya, I'm very sorry, Lord Royati is currently entertaining a very important guest. Could you please wait a moment?"

"of course can."

I wonder who Earl Ted is meeting with. Why is he leaving me hanging? Could it be someone he's ashamed of?

Seeing that the maid had no intention of revealing the name of the person she had met with Royati, Lenya didn't probe further and didn't bother to ask any questions.

Majinus, however, was very curious. She focused her attention and tried to extend her life perception as far as possible in a single line. When she reached the study, her body trembled slightly, and she abruptly withdrew her life perception and subconsciously gasped.

"Mine, what's wrong?"

Lenia looked concerned, and many people noticed Maginus's actions. She remained calm, pressing her hands to her lower abdomen: "Excuse me, where is the toilet? Can someone take me there?"

Arriving at the stinking servants' outhouse, Maginus threw the bag of weapons provided by Jess directly into the latrine, then recalled the scene she had just witnessed.

After extending her life senses, she saw a being with relatively weak life force sitting at a desk, while another person sitting opposite her had life force burning like a furnace.

That must be a powerful cultivator who has refined his life, but I don't know if he is at the peak of the intermediate level or the high level.

Why would Royaltyte meet with such a person? Was their meeting a secret?

At this moment, Maginus wished she could hear the enemy speak through her life senses, but unfortunately, her senses were not that powerful, and she could barely see anything.

After finishing what Jess had asked her to do, Maginus returned to the reception room and waited for about ten more minutes. Just as Lenia was about to lose control of her sitting posture, a maid finally came to inform the girl to come over.

Lenia entered the study, while Maginus and Catherine were left in the drawing room. The girl quietly released her life sense once again, and the professional who was like a furnace disappeared, leaving only the one sitting at the desk.

The one whose life force is not very strong is Roya Titide, so who was that just now?

……

Lenia and Royati's conversation didn't last long. The girl only told the count about her feelings toward his son Benedict, and didn't say much else.

After all, the fact that the two knew each other was still a secret, and Benedict never told his father that he liked Lenia, his future princess.

After talking for about thirty minutes, Lenya took her leave of the count and returned home with the others.

Maginus found Jess lifting weights in his room, took the map from him, and made some corrections: "There are some minor errors in the map, I'll fix them now. Also, when we went to see Roati..."

Chapter 159 The Last Father-Son Communication

After telling Jess what he had seen, Maginus managed to sketch out the outline of a powerful professional.

Gazing at the massive silhouette on the paper in his hand, Jess frowned, trying to recall, then pointed to himself: "Have you ever seen how vast my life force is? I'm a warrior who has been at the intermediate level for quite some time."

The girl closed her eyes to sense his presence, and when she opened them, she wore a calm expression, but in reality, she was extremely surprised.

She casually sketched Jess's outline as she perceived it, and when the two drawings were placed side by side, the difference immediately became apparent.

If a powerful man burns like a raging furnace in a young girl's perception, then Jess's life force is only half that of that man.

More importantly, it is not only inferior in quantity, but also in quality.

“I drew this with a pen of the same color,” Maginus tapped the table. “He shines like a magic lamp in my eyes, but you are just a bunch of candles together.”

"I understand. You don't need to trouble yourself with anything else. I will decide for myself after consulting with the Earl."

Having learned of the gap between himself and that person, Jess made no comment, not wanting to explain to the girl whether the operation was canceled.

She tactfully left the house, and once she was sure the girl was far away, Jess immediately contacted Elliott.

……

"A powerful professional who has honed his life skills... Anyway, let's explain to the helper first."

Having learned of this from Jess, Elliott took it very seriously; he was not prepared to send his troops to their deaths.

The group originally sent to assassinate Royatitede was not the Royal Guard; Maginus's mission to lay down the weapons was in response to the needs of her accomplices.

Elliott felt he needed to remind the assassin he had secretly hired to be careful of potential obstacles.

The count took out his spellbook from his dimensional bag, flipped through it, waved his fingers lightly, chanted a spell, and then touched his blue-glowing index finger to his ear and lips.

Problems?

A cold voice rang in Elliott's ears. The count ignored the arrogance in the speaker's tone and informed the assassin of any potential unexpected events that might occur during the mission.

"Hopefully things will go smoothly; at the very least, Royati should be seriously injured."

After hanging up the call, Elliott said helplessly, hoping that the prophecy would be accurate enough.

The original prophecy didn't specify when the fratricide would occur. If he messes things up and the timing is wrong, it will be ridiculous. In that case, the Silver City and the Silver City will have no choice but to raise the banner of rebellion ahead of schedule.

The day after Lenya met Royatide, the assassins began their operation at midnight.

Maginot stayed far away in the alley, her eyes constantly fixed on Ted Manor in the distance, wondering if anything big would happen tonight.

At this very moment, the assassin hired by Elliott at great expense was standing in the open space outside the manor, yet no one noticed him.

Standing still, he became invisible, and no one noticed his presence.

Observing the environment inside the manor, the assassin dressed in black robes took out a compass-like object from his dimensional bag. The numbers representing the magical energy on the compass kept changing.

More than 30 seconds later, a pointer appeared above, pointing to a house inside the manor, not far from the main house.

"High-level, looks like I'll have to be careful."

The assassin muttered to himself, choosing not to act immediately. He glanced at the sky and waited quietly for his opportunity.

Perhaps by a twist of fate, Count Royalty, unaware of the impending danger, was communicating with Benedict in the distant City of Gold and Silver through a magical artifact.

Father, how are you feeling?

Hearing the voice coming from inside the crystal ball, the white-haired old man smiled and replied, "Things are going well. How about you? Is your mission over there going smoothly?"

Not good. The nobles are unwilling to hand over their interests. I've tried everything, but in the end, I can only resort to coercion and bribery. However, Count Shelvey is very cooperative with me. Could it be related to the situation in the capital?

"It seems that Elliott was afraid, after all, the king intends to settle scores with Sylvies."
