The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

"These are..."

"Greetings, Your Excellency. I am Yue Liang, a warrior. The tree spirit is right here."

The disguised Yue Liang chuckled as she opened the bag, revealing half of the model inside. The beautiful tree spirit made Addison secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

He had a secret deal with the Bloodstained Society, dealing in everything from people to illegal drugs. In order to gain a significant advantage, he agreed to do whatever he could for them.

However, this time things became a bit complicated. They wanted either the corpse of a tree spirit or a living tree spirit. For a long time, neither the army nor any adventure team had been able to bring out even a tiny bit of the tree spirit.

With the contract's expiration date fast approaching, Addison grew increasingly panicked, as the penalty for breach of contract was beyond his means. Fortunately, someone had finally brought one.

Next, all I need to do is settle this adventurer team and get them to gather all the quantities I need.

Upon seeing the recently deceased tree spirit's corpse, the woman from the Bloodstained Guild immediately stepped forward and joyfully reached out to touch the "corpse." She even dipped her finger in some blood and put it in her mouth, finding nothing unusual.

At this moment, Maginus, Yue Liang, and Yue Qian increased the distance between them slightly, and Yue Liang even stretched out his right leg, ready to swing his sword.

"Great, my mission can finally be accomplished!"

Seeing that the mission was about to be completed, the assassin relaxed for a moment, both physically and mentally. It was at this moment that Yue Liang placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and instantly activated the Qi-Gathering Slash!

Gather your energy and slash with your sword!

Because it was a sneak attack, he didn't say the name of the technique aloud this time. The sharp longsword didn't even leave an arc of light; everyone only felt a slight breeze sweep past.

The next second, the Bloodstained Society member who was close to and carrying the "tree spirit corpse" had her head tilted to the side and fell to the ground. Yue Liang instantly killed this enemy of unknown strength with a sneak attack, without giving her any chance to make a move.

As Yue Liang drew his sword, Maginos and Yue Qian also moved.

Regardless of whether there were good soldiers among the people around, the white-haired girl flashed flames on the blade of her sword, leaving whip-like marks in the air as she swung it, and also leaving deadly wounds on the soldiers' bodies.

Maginus then conjured a psychic blade and threw it at Addissencio. Addissencio's right arm, which was covered in knife wounds, was easily cleaved open, and a large amount of life force gushed out, turning into a red mist that obscured the vision of many people.

However, she also specially used liquid life force to condense into threads to lock the three of them together, ensuring that they could sense each other's location.

Looking at the person who killed her second sister, the girl's lips curled up slightly, but the bloodthirsty smile did not appear. Instead, the corners of her lips began to turn down, turning into a sad and sorrowful expression.

Sister Hiseia, I've come to avenge you.

Carrying a red mist, he rushed towards the astonished Addison. No matter how strange Addison was, he was still a relatively strong professional. After reacting, he immediately drew his rapier from his waist to parry.

As he deflected the psychic blade, Maginus had already rushed in front of him. Looking at the red-haired girl who had attacked him, her sorrowful expression gave him a sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen her somewhere before.

Are they my enemies?

Without giving him time to think, the protector bit at Addison like Maginot's fangs. The exquisite but not magical rapier was bent at the blow. She was like a wolf, completely destroying the prey's attack.

"Enemy attack!!"

Those who realized what was happening shouted for reinforcements from the outside. Addison, realizing that his ritual weapon was unusable, immediately threw the bent rapier at the girl and rolled backward to his seat.

He picked up the real weapon that was placed to the side. A rather strange longsword appeared in his hand. It had no handguard, just a hilt and a blade that was slightly longer than the hilt. At the same time, there was a large iron ring at the end of the hilt.

Maginus knew perfectly well what Addison's weapon was; it wasn't an ordinary sword, but a chain sword. All he had to do was touch the bracelet on his right hand…

He flung out the psychic blade straight at Addison's face, raised his hand and slapped the bracelet hard, while simultaneously throwing the longsword in his hand away!

Chapter 236 An Unusual Smooth Sailing

The translucent short sword and the metal longsword collided and bounced apart in mid-air. Addison raised his hand, spread his five fingers, and aimed at the rotating metal longsword in the air. A magical chain instantly formed from the bracelet.

The formed chain wrapped around his wrist several times, then flew out of his hand and connected to the iron ring of the magic longsword, making his magic weapon completely complete.

However, before he could retract his longsword, Maginus was already in front of him, and the magical weapon that looked somewhat familiar to him slashed down, the force of which was enough to completely cleave half of his body apart!

Addison immediately clenched his left hand, a magical light flashing on his thumb ring. A strong wind spread outward from him, firmly holding back the descending sword and even blowing Maginus away.

The art of creating wind.

Just as the strong wind disappeared, Maginus once again conjured a psychic blade and threw it out. The count, who was in danger, swung his arm and pulled hard. The magical chain spun a few times in the air and then wrapped around the psychic blade.

The psychic blade disappeared automatically, and Maginus had already raised her fist. As she threw the psychic blade, a ring that was too big to wear, which she had hidden in her sleeve, landed in her hand.

This is the gear that Benedict dropped.

He casually slung the ring on his middle finger and clenched it tightly. The ring was activated, and a huge, light blue force field hand appeared in everyone's sight, then slammed down on Addison!

The count was sent flying and crashed into a wall that had been magically reinforced, creating a large crater. Addison slid off the crater, his head lolling to one side, and he appeared to have lost consciousness.

Even when he lost consciousness, he didn't know why the enemy in front of him knew his moves so well.

How could the young girl not know that when the count went to the palace to ask for the hand of the second princess, he would often perform some beautiful or fun tricks with his chain sword?

It was a beautiful yet painful memory, one that Maginos found very vivid.

Addisoncio's current state changed the mind of the grieving Maginot. She rushed to him and quickly tied him up with ropes and cloth, while also pouring some sleeping potion into his mouth and nose.

After hoisting the count onto her back, Maginus turned and shouted to the two men, "Let's go!"

Seeing that the girl did not kill the count directly, Yue Liang and Yue Qian frowned slightly, but neither of them said anything. They rushed with her to the window on the left side of the castle.

The blade shattered the beautiful glass, and the three of them leaped out of the window. Some soldiers were waiting there, some even with their bows nocked, but when they saw the count on Maginus, they lowered their longbows and immediately released the bowstring.

If they hadn't stopped those three thugs from killing the count, they would at most lose their jobs, or perhaps be killed themselves. But what if they had accidentally killed the count with their own arrows...?

While the low-ranking soldiers were at a loss, Maginus took out three speed-enhancing scrolls from her dimensional bag, tore them open, and the three of them increased their speed again, quickly shaking off the soldiers following behind them.

They rushed out of the town and ran non-stop toward the Treant Forest. The adventurer teams they encountered along the way were all terrified, and although they were very curious, none of them dared to take a step forward.

They entered the forest quite smoothly, without encountering much hindrance along the way.

"I... my God, I never expected it to go so smoothly. I thought I would have more injuries."

Yue Liang glanced down at the minor wounds on his arms and cheeks, his tone slightly excited. Clearly, this was the first time he had stormed into a castle and killed a count—or rather, kidnapped a count in broad daylight.

It's still the same old problem of regional strength; there aren't many powerful figures hidden in the mountains and forests.

Upon entering the Treant Forest, the Treant Loki quickly appeared before them, showing no reaction to the person Maginus was carrying.

Seeing her condition, the girl lifted Addison off her back, pointed at him, and asked, "Ms. Locke, you don't need him, do you?"

"No need, just make sure he dies."

Loki shook her head, indicating that it was nothing to worry about. Upon hearing this answer, Maginus looked up and told the siblings to wait by the ancient tree: "You two go and ask the Ancient Tree of Wisdom questions first. I still need to deal with this guy."

"Sigh, I wonder what grudge those two have against each other."

The girl dragged the disheveled count away, who looked like a corpse. Yue Liang scratched his head, patted his sister's shoulder as she was deep in thought, and told her to go with him to the ancient tree first.

Meanwhile, Maginus casually tossed the Count aside beside a large tree. Seeing some goblins watching curiously, she ignored them, took a water jug ​​from her dimensional bag, and poured water directly onto the Count's face.

However, the drug seemed to be working quite well, and even so, he did not wake up. Seeing this, Maginus raised his left hand and stabbed the psychic blade into his thigh, while his right hand pressed down on his head, releasing a terrifying aura.

As the black halo flashed, the little fairies who had been watching the show fled in panic. Tormented by both excruciating pain and the fear in his dream, Addison gasped and woke up.

He stared at the familiar girl in front of him, still shaken, and looked around to make sure he was in the right place. He thought about many things for a moment.

Before he could ask any questions, Maginus went straight to his predicament: "Adison, you are now in the Treant Forest. The Treants have commissioned us to kill you and have created a very realistic doll in the process. The result is what you see here."

A cold glint flashed in the girl's eyes. Unlike Benedict and Ronaldo, this guy in front of her had actually killed her sister.

She had initially thought she would be happy to get revenge, but now Maginus's heart was filled with endless resentment and tyranny.

"You must be wondering who I am right now, but you probably already have a guess in your mind?"

Maginus questioned Addison, then drew his sword from behind and plunged it into Addison's thigh again!

The pain caused the count to groan. He hadn't had time to speak before. He glanced at the girl's face, which was beginning to twitch, suppressed his nausea and fear, and looked down at the familiar longsword.

Red hair, a familiar figure, familiar weapons...

The girl in front of him gradually overlapped with his past memories. Addison swallowed hard, his fear growing stronger. He had found a similar figure, but he dared not believe it, nor did he dare to utter her name.

But there was no way to delay it. After a long silence, Addisoncio, his throat dry, finally revealed her origins:

“Maggie, you are Maggienus, right?”

Chapter 237 You're Next

The distorted face slowly settled, and the girl, now restored to her original appearance, looked down at the count, pulled a longsword from his leg, and pointed the tip at his throat.

"It's good that you still remember me. Now I'll ask you some questions."

Looking at Maginot's indifferent face, although he didn't know how she had escaped from Nesery, Addison still tried to persuade the girl to release him with lies:

"Maggie, listen to me, uh ah ah!"

With another strike, Maginus repeated, "Next, I will ask, and you will answer."

"……it is good."

The girl's expression made Addison's heart sink, but the situation was beyond his control, so he chose to obediently nod: "Yes."

"Why did you kill Sister Wang? She was already married to you. Even if she hadn't died, they wouldn't have deliberately caused you trouble."

The sword tip pierced Addison's neck, drawing a few drops of blood. His eyes darted around, and a lie came out of his mouth as he made a sighing sound, saying, "Hissia did this to keep me out of danger, so...ahhh!"

Maginus didn't give him a chance to finish speaking. The protector plunged his penis into her thigh once more. The girl stared at Addison in front of her, then raised her hand and tapped her temple.

"Do you think I'm a fool who came all the way from Nessery? I've witnessed the deaths of all my relatives through my own bloodline. Since you don't want to tell the truth, it seems we can assume you have no ulterior motives."

"Next question, why is the Bloodstained Society looking for the tree spirit's corpse? Are they planning to use it for some kind of ritual?"

After being hurt again, the count finally realized that the child in front of him had become someone he didn't know. Putting aside his own thoughts, Adison decided to provide Maginus with the real information.

He wanted to glean from her questions a way to prolong his death, so that once he got through this difficult time, he could slowly consider how to escape.

Addison was silent for a moment before speaking the truth: "I don't know, but I have a guess. The Bloodstained Society probably wants to use the tree spirit's corpse to make some kind of magical perfume so that they can get close to the assassins."

Is it similar to the magic used by Elliott?

Although it was just Addison's guess, he wasn't lying. Maginos, who had been listening to his heartbeat, continued to ask, "What about Carly? Have you been in contact with Carly? How is she doing?"

Kaliwista married Countess Toimor, the third princess, and her territory was located in Ilandamia, a neighboring country of Arans.

Unlike Addison, whose territory was smaller and whose soldiers were fewer, Kaliwisda was a count who truly possessed a large army and enjoyed a good reputation among the people.

When the girl asked about this, Addison's expression became unnatural. He knew, of course, that Kaliwisda had also killed the third princess, Toimor.

After finding me, are you going to go find Kalivista...?

A sense of urgency rose in the Earl's heart. He lowered his head and said, "We have spoken. She is still the same as before, loving the people like her own children and with outstanding political achievements. However, there are rumors that she is currently preparing to rebel. I don't know if it's true or not."

Staring at the disheveled man before her, Maginos suddenly realized she had nothing more to ask and simply watched him in silence.

Having not heard a question for a long time, Addison suddenly realized something was wrong. He looked up at the girl whose eyes were burning with an increasingly fierce fire, and immediately blurted out in a panic:

"Wait, Maggie, I'm still useful. I can still provide you with support. You must need enough money and equipment right now!"

Ah, so that's the advantage of being a Soul Blade user or having the ability to drain blood. If I didn't have these two abilities, I might still be risking extorting money from Addison before he dies...

Maginus and Addison locked eyes, only for one last question: "Addison, did you ever love my sister?"

“Of course!” Addison shouted without hesitation, his eyes filled with sincerity. “Of course I love her, even now!”

"Then go to the underworld to be with her. Maybe she hasn't been taken away by the gods yet, and you'll still have a chance to meet. Remember to tell her that I killed you, and if she's angry, tell her to come find me."

The girl's voice was flat; she didn't really care whether Addison had ever loved Sister Wang. No matter what his answer was, she would kill him.

No, you can't.

The count stared wide-eyed and twisted his body with all his might, but the longsword pierced his heart without hesitation, and blood flowed from his heart.

Silently watching him fall into death, Maginus raised her left hand to cover her forehead, which was inexplicably throbbing with pain. She then took out the Death Note and crossed out "Addissensio" from a single page.

"This is the first one, and you're next, Kaliwistar."

After finishing everything, the girl came to the foot of the ancient tree of wisdom and saw the brother and sister with worried faces.

It's unclear what Yue Liang and Yue Qian asked, but even though Maginus was curious, she wouldn't ask such a private question.

She approached the face on the large tree, and the wise old tree Wilder, who seemed more like a kind old man than a great figure, squinted and smiled:

"Is everything settled? Hehe, don't worry, they won't hear our conversation. You can chat with me for a bit before asking your questions."

The old man's face was almost level with hers. Looking at this kind tree-man, Maginus asked, "I always feel like you're helping me. Is that just my imagination?"

“No, I am indeed trying to help you,” Wilder nodded, indicating that the girl’s premonition was correct. “I don’t know why, but the prophecy told me to get along well with you.”

"It seems I am immune to being predicted by those weak prophets, regarding this matter..."

"Not counting the three questions, the main reasons you were able to block the prophecy are twofold: one is that you died once and were then resurrected by the blood of two gods."

Wilder extended a small twig and tapped it on the girl's shoulder: "It's an almost impossible coincidence that created this loophole that almost no one anticipated."

You should have died then, but perhaps by chance, or perhaps it was inevitable, the world did not make you disappear. Yet you have escaped your original destiny, making it impossible for ordinary prophets to foretell your fate. Only extremely powerful prophetic spells could possibly know your whereabouts.

Maginus wanted to ask more questions, but Wilder stopped her at that moment: "Alright, enough chit-chat. Here are three questions, child. What would you like to ask?"
