Chapter 443 The Kidnapped Princess Alice
The Duke's Palace is also in Southwest City, not far from Caesar's manor. This is a wealthy area, and many rich and powerful nobles live here.
At this time, Wright had just finished some trivial official duties and was lying on a wicker chair under the grapevine, listening to violin music played by the musicians at home. Because he has been busy with the Alchemy Competition these days, he has brought some of the city government's work home to handle, and most of the work has already been handled by someone.
He was at the XX open-air cafe on the street when he heard a servant coming to report that Princess Alice was looking for him. He quickly changed his clothes and went out.
When they arrived at the coffee shop, Alice saw him from a distance and waved: "The drinks have been ordered, please take a seat."
Wright sat down and said: "Princess, why did you come to me in person, and you haven't brought anyone with you yet? It would be unsafe. If you come to me for anything, just ask someone to come."
" There's nothing unsafe. I hate it when people follow me. , Not free." Alice said with a smile: "And I haven't seen you in the past few days, and I really miss you."
"Miss me?" Wright was startled and looked a little bit. Feeling uncomfortable, he quickly picked up the coffee on the table and drank it.
Alice said: "I came back to see you for something. I want you to help me get...make a barrier of some sort, an enchantment that can slow down time for a short period of time. Test my reaction speed, I want to know about myself With your current abilities, I wonder if you can do it?”
“Ah? Oh, it’s the ‘Reverse Clock’ barrier.” Wright suddenly noticed the injury on Alice’s face and asked. Princess, what’s going on here?”
Alice said: "Oh, I accidentally injured myself while fighting with the servants just now, and I forgot to take care of it."
Wright waved one hand, and a small magic circle flashed in the air, and he was healed at will. The magic was cast, and the healing starlight gathered and flashed at the wound on Alice's cheek, making Alice's face itch. Wright said: "The wound will be completely healed in about an hour."
Alice touched her face and smiled: "Thank you."
"Princess." Wright After hesitating for a while, he said: "You just said..."
"Huh?"
"You just said you missed me?"
Alice nodded: "Yeah, how..." She immediately reacted: "Oh, you thought... No, no, no, I didn't mean that, I..."
Alice's fierce reaction attracted the attention of the people around her.
Wright hurriedly asked Alice to sit down, motioned for her to keep her voice down, and then smiled: "I thought you fell in love with me, princess. It seems I misunderstood."
Alice herself also found it funny: "No, I just feel that since I Since coming here, you and Uncle Caesar have been very kind to me. I always ask you to help me, and you have helped me. You feel like my brother. Moreover, you promised me to send it when I leave. My gift, I always wonder what it would be?”
"Haha, I hope you will be satisfied when the princess receives the gift."
After drinking the drinks, the two were about to leave. Not far away, they saw a servant from the Wright family running over in a hurry: "Master, Master..."
"What's the matter?" Wright said: "Don't you Did you go to the opera house with my mother?"
"The opera is over." The servant said anxiously: "My wife was stabbed on the road just now."
< br>“What!” Wright was startled and his face changed drastically: “Where is it?”
The servant said: "It's in the alley over the Opera House Road."
Wright immediately followed the servant without saying a word. Alice was also worried about the safety of Wright's mother, so she also followed. Went.
Under the leadership of the servant, Wright and Alice walked into an alley near Opera House Road. After walking with his servants in the alley for a while, Wright found that they were getting more and more remote and farther and farther away from the bustling neighborhoods. He realized that something was wrong, and at this time he calmed down from the panic.
"Who are you?" Wright stopped.
The servant turned around: "Master, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean by me?" Wright said in a cold voice: "You have very weak magic fluctuations on your body, which is obviously disguised magic. Moreover, it is impossible for my mother to come to such a remote place."
"Hahahaha, that's amazing, Master Wright of the Duke's family." As the servant laughed, the magic fluctuations became more intense, and with a flash of light, he took off his magic disguise and revealed his true face, but he was a masked man. . He squinted at Wright and said, "Not only are you thoughtful, but you are also very perceptive. I thought that I had become very proficient in camouflage magic. With my control, I could minimize the fluctuations of magic power. Unexpectedly, it was still... You discovered it."
"Who are you? What is your purpose?" Wright said sternly.
“Ah!” Suddenly Alice’s scream came from behind.
Wright was startled and turned around to see two more masked men appearing behind him and kidnapping Alice. "Let her go, what do you want to do?" Wright shouted, and he began to emit magic power, and everyone could feel the stronger magic power fluctuations.
"Don't mess around, Master Wright, a high-level space magician." The masked man who turned from a servant said: "Before you do anything, think clearly whether you can really do what you want to do." The words were not finished. , seven or ten more masked people came out one after another.
"Let me go, you bastards." Alice kept struggling, but she couldn't break free from the masked man's iron-like hands. "Don't move, Her Royal Highness Princess Alice. If you move around and anger it, don't blame me if it accidentally hurts you."
Alice saw from him A golden strange snake slipped out of his sleeve, crawled onto his body, and slipped into his neck, immediately frightening him. He didn't dare to move anymore and just said: "You...since you know who I am, why don't you let me go quickly."
"Let you go?" The masked man laughed and said, "We will wait. After a few days, I finally waited for the opportunity to catch you, how could I let you go so easily.”
Wright said: "What do you want to do by kidnapping the princess? Do you want money? How much do you want? Make a price, three million or five million?" It's just grand." The masked man sneered: "What a pity, our purpose this time is not for money. But if you say so, then hand over all the valuables you have."
“It’s not for money, then what are you doing for it?”
Another masked man slapped Alice on the face and said sternly: “Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and put it away Hand over the valuables."
"You..." Wright was so angry that he could only hold back with his fists clenched, and he searched out all the valuables on his body and put them on the ground.
A guy picked up all the things on the ground, looked at them, and said with a smile: "Hey, there are not many things, but every piece is valuable. This bracelet alone is probably worth hundreds of thousands." He took it Wright's 'Grendel's Summoning Bracelet' was proudly worn on his hand.
“Very obedient.” The leader, the masked man who turned from a servant, said: “It seems that you should know what the consequences will be if the majestic princess of the Demon Moon Empire dies in Arant.”
Of course Wright knew that the consequences would be disastrous.
Alice also panicked and shouted loudly: "How dare you! You...do you know who my master is? He will definitely kill you."
"Oh. , Your Highness the Princess, and Master? I would like to hear it," a masked man asked.
Alice said: "My master is Bing Zhixie, he is an ice magician. If you dare to hurt me, just wait to die!"
"Oh MYGOD, it turns out he is a magician. , I'm really scared." The masked man smiled and said, "It's a pity that he's not here, so you are still here. You should be afraid of me. I really like beautiful women. It's best not to let me fall in love with you, my beautiful princess." His hands touched Alice's face and neck...< br>
“Stop it, you bastard!” Wright shouted: “Tell me your true purpose. , What do you want to do? Are you from Saint Bikeya? "
"Stop guessing, Master Wright," the masked man led by said. Our purpose is simple. Isn't the final of the alchemy competition about to begin? We hope you can give up. Right for this competition."
Wright's frown relaxed a little: "So this is your purpose? Then you must be an alchemist, or you are employed by an alchemist, since you are not doing it. Money, that's... I get it."
"It's good that you understand. I won't beat around the bush with you." The masked leader said: "Yes, our boss wants to win this competition, so powerful people like you must be eliminated to ensure that There is no risk for our boss to win the championship. Speaking of which, Master Wright, you are too annoying. As a member of the imperial family, you can be recommended by the imperial government. You go to the Holy Garden to study, why are you competing with us for a spot in the alchemy competition? You are so disgusting."
"Huh." Wright said coldly: "I don't care about recommendations. I want to enter the Holy Garden by my own ability."
"But if you do this, you will infringe on our interests, do you understand?" said the masked leader.
Wright said: "Aren't you afraid of being found out by doing this and being wanted by the government?"
"Wanted?" The leading masked man said with a smile: "There are some people who are out to fool around now. Who is not wanted in other countries? As long as I leave your country, what can you do to me? If you are interested, you should know what to do, right?"
Wright said: "Since your goal is the alchemy competition, it has nothing to do with Princess Alice, so let her go."
The masked man smiled and said: "Haha, Master Wright, are you kidding me? ? Princess Alice is our only capital for negotiation with you. Do you think we are idiots if we let her go?"
"Then? Okay, I promise you that I will not participate in this alchemy competition. Now you can let the princess go."
The leader of the masked man said: "Master Wright, I said, don't take us for granted. Idiot. How can we believe what you say?"
"What do you want?"
"It's not that good." The masked person in charge said: "Before the finals of the alchemy competition are over, I have no choice but to humiliate Her Highness the Princess and condescend to live with us for a few days."
"You..."
"But don't worry, as long as you don't participate in the alchemy competition, we will not harm the princess. Take the princess away." The leading masked man pointed at Wright and shook his finger, meaning to warn him, Don't chase me.
Wright had no choice but to watch helplessly as they took Alice away.
