Alice's words left the visiting guests standing at the door, looking somewhat at a loss. Just as Fruda was about to do something embarrassing, Bajiu De beside him stepped forward and supported the old man. The two looked at each other, and Fruda saw an incredibly firm will in the man's eyes.
〖Please leave this matter to me to handle. You must not do anything that would damage His Majesty's reputation!〗Bajiu De was very serious.
Fruda remained expressionless: 〖Then let this old man witness the methods of the Four Knights' 'Lightning'.〗
The two finished their exchange through eye contact.
One of the Empire's Four Knights.
His class was Warrior.
Because his combat style was like Lightning that destroyed everything, he earned the title 'Lightning'.
This time, he had received His Majesty's verbal order to accompany the Empire's Chief Magician, Master Fruda, to visit the Sword Saint. The task was to ensure the Sword Saint granted an audience to Master Fruda before Master Fruda took any action!
"I am one of the Empire's Four Knights, here by imperial decree to escort Master Fruda to visit the Sword Saint!"
"I request the Sword Saint to come out for a meeting!"
This big fellow wasn't as crude and inflexible as he appeared. He had no intention of clashing with the villa's maid; he planned to use his loudest voice to let the Sword Saint hear His Majesty's plea.
It must be said his idea was quite good.
Unfortunately, barriers were set up all around this villa. Besides the traps and surveillance barriers, there were also barriers to enhance soundproofing and maintain a comfortable indoor temperature, improving the living environment.
Thus, Bajiu De's tactic failed because the people inside the villa couldn't hear what he was saying at all. Moreover, his actions made Alice unhappy.
Although Alice knew about the barriers in the villa, if these people truly disturbed her master, it would be an absolutely unforgivable matter to her!
"Please be quiet." Although Alice was angry, she still maintained polite speech because the identity her master assigned her was a maid, so she had to become the most excellent maid to fulfill her master's expectations.
Accompanying the maid's shout of restraint,
a shadow surged from the ground and delivered a punch toward Bajiu De's mouth.
Bajiu De reacted quickly. The moment he was hit by the punch, he followed the force and flipped to dodge the opponent's follow-up strikes, skillfully neutralizing the impact. But even so, when he regained his footing, a large fist print remained on his face.
What was that?
Bajiu De watched as a shadow flashed and appeared behind the maid in the blink of an eye.
The shadow was pitch black, taking the form of a Black Knight in armor, but it seemed to be not a solid entity, but a mass of energy floating in the air.
The Black Knight stood behind Alice with its arms crossed.
Two blue flames in its eyes stared at them eerily.
Full of imposing aura!
"Oh oh oh oh oh!!!"
Fruda exclaimed in shock from the side.
"A magic I've never seen before!"
"Wonderful principles!"
"It's almost like a living being!"
"Could this be a new magic created based on the summoning angel spell
foundation?!"
The old man was completely absorbed in a research frenzy, muttering professional terms that Bajiu De couldn't understand.
"Master, please give me some guidance!"
"Shut up, don't interrupt my thoughts."
Bajiu De's plea for help was ignored by Fruda.
Since the old man couldn't come up with any countermeasure immediately, he decided to stop thinking and focus all his energy on analyzing this magic.
As for Bajiu De getting a good beating?
What did that have to do with him?
"It's truly incredible!"
Bajiu De was speechless after being rebuffed by the old man.
In terms of status.
He was inferior to Fruda.
In terms of strength.
He was even less a match for Fruda.
Thus, he felt as if he had eaten dirt, the magic on the other side clearly wasn't easy to deal with, and his own chief magician even refused to provide support. He really wanted to give this unreasonable old man a sword strike. Didn't this old geezer know who was responsible for their current predicament?!
Bajiu De looked at the maid and the Familiar behind her. From their appearance, he couldn't discern anything, after all, he wasn't a magician, so how could he possibly discern the Familiar's strength at a glance?
However, judging from the speed and force of that punch just now, it wasn't insurmountable.
So he picked up his sword and stepped forward.
Alice saw that the person she had spared actually dared to come forward and provoke her.
Her fake smile was starting to falter.
〖It seems he truly doesn't know what's good for him.〗
The stand, Burst Knight, lowered its arm, then its figure instantly vanished.
The next moment.
It flashed in front of Bajiu De.
The knight's fist emitted a scorching Flash.
And slammed down towards Bajiu De, whose face had greatly changed.
Boom!
Shi suddenly heard a loud noise from outside the door. She walked out of the study to the courtyard, looking bewildered, and then saw Alice coming in from outside with a broom, looking as if she had just finished sweeping up some trash.
"Alice, you didn't kill anyone, did you?"
Although she had no good feelings for that magic teacher, the old man was, after all, the chief magician of this country. If he really died here, she would probably be forced to kill the Imperial Emperor.
Because she didn't want to live on the run, hiding from the Empire's pursuit.
Alice honestly replied, "No, Master, I just repelled them."
"Oh."
Then it's fine.
Shi thought for a moment and asked:
"How strong are they?"
"Their strength is less than half of Alice's." Alice said proudly.
As the Master's first creation.
She believed she was the best!
Shi nodded.
But she didn't believe that statement in her heart.
Alice's average stats were only around 3000 points, even with her stand, it was only 5000. Even the Four Sages had over 1000, so her magic teacher couldn't possibly have less than half of Alice's strength.
However, Alice was special.
Those weaker than her couldn't even harm her.
So Alice couldn't give an accurate judgment.
Moreover, the attack speed of Alice's stand was simply a bane for magicians.
They might be knocked down by Alice's punch before they even had a chance to cast a spell.
"Don't be arrogant, you know that humans in this world are just the weakest race."
She patted Alice's head.
Alice seemed to really like being petted on the head.
It seems.
Dolls and humans are still somewhat different.
At least as a human, she didn't find being petted on the head a very comfortable experience. In her memory, she had only seen people who liked being petted on the head in anime; in reality, only cats and dogs seemed to like it, right?
