Weird Wizarding World

"Polly!"

King Dreiser's face darkened when he saw this.

Before Polly could speak, he took the lead and said in a deep voice: "As Burns said, go straight and pick up Princess Ariel."

The Qian Kingdom launched a surprise attack. In the panic, only Queen Polly and Prince Gallagher were with him in the entire royal family.

The rest of the princes and princesses... all live near the front and have fallen. Only Eliel lives deep in the palace.

...I am afraid that there are not many people left in the entire Yili royal family. If we can save one more, then naturally it is best to save one more.

"Your Majesty!" Polly said anxiously, "This is the only way to escape!"

Turn left here and you'll find the place where horses are usually kept. Going forward is a side door specially designed for horses to enter and exit.

Life is ahead! Then there’s time to save that princess she doesn’t like at all!

Seeing Polly's anxious look, Dreiser suddenly hesitated.

"Your Majesty, the princess is right in front!" Burns on the side reminded him again in a deep voice, then raised his legs and continued to move forward.

He is loyal to the royal family, but he is even more loyal to the original queen.

It was his intention to break out towards the corridor here. The purpose is to rescue the daughter left behind by the queen-Princess Ariel.

The princess's residence is located deep in the palace. Judging from the direction of the Qian Kingdom's attack, there is a high probability that it has not been affected at this time.

Seeing Burns continue to move forward, Dreiser finally no longer hesitated on his face.

"Let's go." He made up his mind, whispered to Polly, and quickly stepped to keep up with Burns.

Although going to the left seemed like a shortcut to escape, he didn't want to go there alone without Burns.

After trotting all the way, they arrived outside Eliel's residence smoothly.

Here are several single-storey bungalows connected together.

"Your Highness Ariel!" Burns shouted several times.

boom.

He pushed open the door to the main house and looked around, but saw no one there.

"Your Highness Ariel!" he shouted again.

After another while, a clear female voice came.

"Knight of Burns?"

Crunch——

The white door of the side room on the right suddenly opened.

A petite figure carrying a bucket appeared in front of them. She looked puzzled and reached out to wipe the sweat on her forehead from carrying the water. Her ear-length blond hair shone like gilded gold in the sunlight.

When Burns saw this, a trace of distress flashed in his eyes.

Ever since Queen Daisy died six years ago, Elle's situation has gotten worse and worse.

It was okay at first, but in the end even the crown prince's palace where he lived was occupied by Gallagher, and he was forced to move to this remote residence.

Moreover, no maid or servant has appeared until now...

Burns glanced around and quickly figured out what was going on.

Those maids were the most well-informed, and they must have heard the news and fled first...

And Eliel... I'm afraid I still don't know what's going on.

"Eliel."

Dreiser looked at his favorite daughter and was slightly startled... I wonder when she had grown up?

But there was no time for sentimentality now.

"The Kingdom of Qian has breached the palace." A flash of sadness flashed across Dresser's face.

He subconsciously touched the two items stored close to his chest, and his heart was suddenly filled with hope.

As long as there are them, as long as the royal family is there, there will be no need to worry about not having the Holy Flame Kingdom!

He quickly cheered up and urged Elle: "Put down the bucket and come with us quickly."

Ariel's mind changed and she connected Dreiser's words with the maid's unusual behavior today, and she immediately understood the current situation.

"Let's go."

She threw down the bucket without hesitation and walked straight out without intending to pack anything.

Burns followed.

Queen Polly and Dreiser walked last.

"Knight Burns, where in the palace have the enemy troops occupied now?" Eliel asked proactively.

Burns was a little surprised, thought for a moment and said:

"The knights of the Qian Kingdom launched a surprise attack from the north of the palace. Now they have occupied at least the entire front hall."

Then he added: "Now I plan to escort their highnesses out of the side door of the stable."

"Yeah." Elle nodded without saying much.

No matter the situation, she always wished she had more information... asking Burns these questions was just a habit.

The group of people ran in silence.

Go through the corridor and turn around the intersection.

Not long after.

A clearing appeared before them.

On the left side of the open space is a small stable, and in the direction facing them is an iron-clad wooden door painted with white paint.

The grass is green, the sun is warm, and the only four horses left in the stable snort from time to time...

It seems that the place has not been affected by the war and is still peaceful and harmonious.

They all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this scene.

"Burns, you go and open the door, and I will take them to ride horses." Dreiser ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Burns nodded and strode forward.

As Burns gradually moved away, although the surroundings were calm and peaceful, Dreiser felt an inexplicable chill in his heart... He always felt that the surroundings seemed too quiet.

He shook his head and walked towards the stable.

The stables are lined up in a row along the wall. There are about eight stables in total. At this time, only the four on the right still have horses.

Open the wooden door of the stable on the far left, pull the reins and lead the horse out.

Dreiser mounted his horse.

On the other side, Polly and the other three people each rode a horse.

Although Gallagher is weak and naughty, he is almost seven years old and can already ride a horse.

The group of people headed towards the side door.

By the time they arrived at the door, Burns had already opened the door.

Behind the white gate is a brick road that is not too wide. It can probably only accommodate one carriage moving forward at the same time. There are tall walls on both sides, leaving only some artificial depressions to accommodate the wrong carriage.

"Burns, run up and explore the way ahead!" Polly urged.

There were only four horses, and as Burns was a great knight, his speed was comparable to that of a galloping horse in a short period of time. In her opinion, there was obviously no need to ride a horse.

Feeling the pain in his left leg, Burns remained silent and walked forward silently.

In his expectation, there were four horses in the stable, and Prince Gallagher was only seven years old, and was born shorter and thinner than his peers...

Logically speaking, the best choice now is for Gallagher to ride on the same horse as his mother Polly, and then let him, the only fighting force present, get on the horse and rest for a while...

"Polly, ride with Gallagher and yield one horse to Burns!"

Dreiser frowned and said solemnly.

He witnessed with his own eyes that Burns was stabbed in the left leg with a sword...

At this time, Polly had not yet waited for an answer.

Do!

A sharp arrow suddenly shot from behind and landed on the wooden door behind him.

Dreiser's pupils shrank slightly.

"The pursuers are coming!!" Polly shouted in panic.

Whoosh! !

Several more sharp arrows came.

Most of them fell into the air, but a few fell on the horse Gallagher was riding!

"Ah!" Gallagher exclaimed.

The black horse neighed miserably, raised its front hooves high, pushed him to the ground, and then ran forward crazily.

Gallagher fell heavily to the ground...but fortunately it was not serious.

"Mom, save me..." He stretched out his arms.

"My boy!" cried Polly eagerly, pulling the reins, coming to Gallagher's side, and quickly reaching out to pull him onto the horse.

When Gallagher mounted his horse, Polly felt a little relieved and shouted sharply at the knight in front:

"Burns, stay and break up the queen!"

Then he turned to Dreiser and said: "Your Majesty, run away quickly!!"

She waved her riding crop.

The brown horse underneath him took them forward and fled forward.

"Eliel, let's go!" Dreiser also shouted, driving the horse forward.

But Elle looked at Burns who was silently walking behind him and hesitated.

Clang! !

Several knights from the Qian Kingdom came out from behind the door. Burns drew his giant sword and moved forward, fighting while saying:

"Your Highness Ariel, leave quickly!"

"When I deal with the pursuers..."

The words are not finished yet.

The crisp sound of horse hooves suddenly came!

Polly and others who had originally fled turned back.

Looking up, a group of knights suddenly appeared on the road ahead.

Burns's heart sank, he raised his giant sword, broke away from the battle, and came to Ariel and others.

The knights of the Qian Kingdom advanced silently, constantly shrinking the encirclement.

Burns and others gradually retreated into the square depression specially left by the road wall.

Exhaling slightly, Burns tightened his grip on the solid and rough handle of the giant sword in his hand.

The current situation seemed to be a repeat of the previous one in the palace.

It's just...his own condition was much worse this time.

Swing the giant sword lightly.

His muscles, which were once as reliable as fine steel, were now suffering from pain due to over-squeezing, making him almost unable to hold the giant sword in his hand.

...Perhaps today will be the day when the Yili royal family will be destroyed.

Dreiser and others behind him also looked defeated.

Just when Burns was ready to fight to the death.

Whoosh! !

A figure fell from the sky and landed between them and the knights of the Qian Kingdom.

Immediately afterwards, the invisible force field suddenly expanded forward from him!

boom! !

The knights who originally surrounded Dreiser and his party were knocked to the ground by the huge force like the wind blowing through a wheat field. Some of the knights in the front were even knocked high into the air, and then fell heavily to the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

"Witch...Master Wizard?!" Dreiser exclaimed.

The Holy Flame Kingdom is just an insignificant small country, and it is difficult to see wizards on weekdays.

"Are you the King of the Holy Flame Kingdom - Dreiser?" Colin confirmed.

The Holy Flame Palace is not small, and it took him a lot of effort to find Dreiser and the others.

"Yes." Dreiser nodded, feeling uneasy inside.

"Hmm." Colin looked at it carefully and matched the last descriptions of the king he and Erica had.

"I will explain the specific situation to you later. Now you just need to know that I am helping you escape."

"Get on your horse and follow me!"

Colin raised his hand and fired several swift spells at their horses.

Dreiser glanced at Polly, no longer hesitated, and mounted his horse again.

"Knight Burns, mount your horse." Elle suddenly said, motioning for Burns to ride with her.

"Your Highness Ariel..." Burns looked up in surprise. He was already ready to run and follow.

But he was not pretentious. He walked in quickly and got on his horse.

The mysterious Lord Wizard is waiting in front. This is undoubtedly their real chance of survival. He does not want to make the Lord Wizard impatient by delaying on some trivial matters.

"May I have your name?"

Colin in front suddenly spoke, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He didn't notice the girl in front of him, whom he hadn't noticed at first, when he raised her head.

Whether it was the amber-like green eyes or the dazzling ear-length blond hair, he couldn't help but think of his old friend who had passed away - Erica.

They are exactly the same!

"Eliel...Master Wizard, my name is Ariel Holy Flame." Eliel smoothed her hair beside her ear and replied nervously.

"Erica is yours...?"

"my sister."

"Yeah." Colin looked away.

I see, no wonder they look so similar... But why have I never heard Erica mention that she has a sister?

But he didn't think much about it.

"Let's go, follow me." He said solemnly, while flying forward to lead the way.

It seemed that they had passed through the encirclement, and they did not encounter a large number of enemies on the way.

Only when he finally left the palace, he encountered a few knights guarding them, but he was able to deal with them neatly.

In this way, the journey was smooth, and Colin, Dreiser and others successfully escaped from the palace.

As a wizard, the most difficult thing for him was not to leave with Dreiser and others, but to find them.

Now that they have been found, the road ahead will naturally be smooth.

Ten minutes later.

Outside the west gate of Lion, the capital of Holy Flame King.

A wooded area.

"Master." Renee walked out in surprise.

She had been waiting here for a long time with Demi and several horses.

"Yes." Colin responded with a smile, then turned to Dreiser and others and said, "Change horses and move on!"

The physical strength of horses is limited, and without the existence of magic power, the blessing of agility will further increase the consumption of their physical strength.

This was something he knew when he learned the art of swiftness.

So he specially asked Renee to wait for him here with a few horses so that the people of the Holy Flame Royal Family could change their horses.

This way you can leave this place as soon as possible.

It stands to reason that he does not need to be afraid of the Qian Kingdom's pursuers, and there should be no need to act in this way.

But he has not forgotten the words of the white-robed wizard on the airship.

The Supreme Council of the Wizards Alliance stipulated that they could not interfere in mortal wars. He did not know the specific extent of intervention that was restricted.

So, one is to reduce the impact, and the other is to reduce the trouble.

He finally chose to go and return quickly, just like lightning striking the sky. Before anyone could react, he took away the Holy Flame Royal Family and left.

also……

While waiting for Dreiser and others to change horses, Colin looked in the direction of Ryan.

The ancient city walls are mottled, and there is still some black smoke rising from the city.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion,

He always feels that there is another wizard's breath in the Lion Palace...

After letting out a breath, Colin withdrew his gaze and also got on his horse.

Dreiser and others have finished changing horses.

The light and shadow are mottled,

They continued riding along the forest path.
