Chapter 28: The Cause of the Incident

Seeing the two people in front of him preparing to attack, Elijah Smith had no choice but to raise his hands.

He told them about Correne Vicki, the daughter of king of the Correne Kingdom. When she was born, she touched a dragon egg in the room, and the dragon egg immediately hatched. Hence, not long after the princess was born, she had become a candidate for the throne!

The main reason for coming to the Kingdom of Dunmei was to seek cooperation and to sign some important agreements with the Correne royal palace.

However, unexpectedly, the princess escaped through the second-floor window as soon as they arrived in Hessler. In the past, the princess would return after she was tired from playing. However, this time, she did not return to the hotel as usual and disappeared without a trace!

After the princess disappeared, Elijah Smythe used his magic stone to sense her presence, but to no avail. He spent three days inside the city, but he still could not find the princess!

Upon hearing this, Locke seemed to have thought of something. “You mean to say that for the past few days, you have been circling the city constantly, and you can still sense the princess’ presence but cannot pinpoint her exact location?”

Elijah Smythe nodded immediately.

Locke immediately found an underground entrance across the street.

After leading the few of them in, Locke explained, “To prevent the enemy from invading from underground, every city’s underground waterway is equipped with warning interference devices! If you can’t find her in the city streets, then it must be because she is in the underground sewer!”

As expected, after entering the underground waterway, the magic stone in Elijah Smythe’s hand shone brightly.

Under the guidance of the magic stone, they soon came to a large tunnel. This room was originally used to filter the city’s sewage, but it had been transformed into a large room. In the room, there were four people who were constantly pouring magic into the magic formation.

Clifford looked at it and explained to Locke, “This is a spiritual manipulation magic array. Thie formation is used to manipulate the consciousness of the person within the array. It is a mind control formation!”

Elijah Smythe looked toward the center of the formation and saw the princess floating there.

“Princess!” Just as he was about to walk over, Locke pulled him back.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m going to stop them, of course!”

“They are using mind spells. If you interfere now, your princess will become retarded if the spell fails!”

Hearing Locke’s words, he stopped what he was doing.

“Then what should we do?”

“Wait for Clifford to observe the situation, he should have a solution!”

Hearing this name, Elijah Smythe calmed down.

“He is the king’s chief mage, Aldrich Clifford!”

“Yes, that’s right!”

“Because of some special reasons, he is now my mentor!”

“You are Locke Reynold who hatched the young white dragon!”

Hearing this, Locke was very surprised. He did not expect that someone from the far away Correne Kingdom would know of his existence.

“That’s me!”

Hearing Locke admit it, Elijah Smythe heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Then all the more, you should save Princess Correne Vicki! The main purpose of our visit this time is to marry you and sign a long-term contract with the Dunmei Kingdom!”

Upon hearing this, Locke was stunned. “Why?”

Elijah Smith thought for a while and replied, “Let’s talk about this later! The most important thing now is to save the princess from them!”

Clifford had already analyzed the magic formation in the room and took out the magic staff from his waist.

After a very complicated chant, the magic formation in the room suddenly changed.

The magic circle that was about to be completed suddenly collapsed.

The four of them were stunned by this scene. The magic formation that was supposed to be completed was cancelled just like that!

“What happened?”

Just as the four of them were in a daze, Elijah Smythe, with the help of magic, flew to the princess’s side and carried her away. Locke and the other guard quickly knocked down two of them. Finally, Clifford cast a vine spell and tied up the other two.

After seeing Locke and Clifford, the two trapped by the vines laughed.

“Hahaha! It’s the both of you? Don’t even think about trapping us. We will meet again in the future! Well then, goodbye!”

Clifford then realized that there was something wrong with the magic in their bodies! The man casted a spell and the magic in the four of them exploded, causing the room to collapse. Clifford hurriedly cast a defensive spell on the two people closest to them, but it did not have much effect.

As the smoke dispersed, Locke and the other guard only suffered a slight impact under the protection of the steel dragon. Elijah Smythe had taken the princess far enough away that she didn’t suffer much damage as they had escaped the perimeter before the explosion.

The only one who was injured was Clifford. He was in such a hurry to put up a magic barrier for the two of them that he did not manage to leave in time.

He vomited blood from the shock wave, but thankfully, he was not in the middle of the explosion, so he only suffered some internal injuries.

Locke saw Clifford vomiting blood and immediately bought an intermediate healing potion from his system’s merchant shop.

As he helped Clifford up, Locke poured the entire bottle of red potion into Clifford’s mouth. After resting for a while, Clifford’s condition became much better.

“Phew! You really saved my life! This healing potion of yours is too precious!”

Locke smiled and said to Clifford, “Thanks to your magic shield, I only suffered a light injury! This is nothing!”

After the explosion, the City Garrison Guard acted quickly. The person in charge of the Garrison Guard immediately rushed over. When he arrived, he quickly led Elijah Smythe and the unconscious girl to safety.

Then he entered the corridor. When he saw two people on the ground. He was thinking of saying something, but quickly shut his mouth. He had seen Clifford before at a banquet. He was the king’s chief mage! The other man, who was dressed in black and gold, was from the legendary Dunmei Dark Blade Dragons!

After Locke stood up, the badge of the fifth team leader appeared before his eyes. Instantly, the garrison guard had the urge to kneel down.

“Why did I even come here? Doesn’t seem like I’d be of much help..”
