"please wait!"
"Your Excellency Archmage Anne!"
In the lord's castle in Karsus City, Anne, who had just returned from having fun outside, was stopped by a heavily armed lord's guard officer from a distance.
"??"
(′?_?`)
"What are you doing?"
(゜-゜)
Anne stopped and watched the other party running over in that heavy plate armor.
"Is such that……"
"Archmage Anne, could you please enchant this saber of mine?"
"Just attach those thorns. I just need this last piece. I'll have a four-piece set in no time!"
"please!"
After saying that, the officer didn't wait for Anne to agree. He smiled shyly and respectfully handed the saber in his hand to Anne. At the same time, he handed over a 'Thorns' enchantment scroll. .
"..."
く(^_?)ゝ
"What's the use of this kind of thing?"
(lll¬▽¬)
He looked at the broken saber in the opponent's hand, and then at the scroll. Although he had helped the opponent three times in the past few days, he saw that this guy really wanted to get it at all costs. In this fourth picture, Anne is still a little bit dumbfounded.
Although, this kind of 'Thorns' enchantment can indeed increase the vitality and rebound damage to a certain extent, but the effect is only average, and Anne will definitely not like it.
"please!"
However, the other party did not refute, but just kept pleading with a silly smile.
"Really!"
ε=(′ο`*)))Alas
"All right!"
???(__*)??
There was no way, it was just a matter of convenience anyway, Anne didn't hesitate, she just stretched out her finger, and the scroll instantly turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the ordinary saber.
"Done!"
(′~`●)
"If nothing happens, I will go back!"
ヾ( ̄▽ ̄)Bye~
Not only does finding someone else to enchant someone has a certain chance of failure, but it also takes a long time and may require a fee. However, finding her, Lady Queen Anne, is not only quick but also 100% successful. Perhaps, this is the reason why this cunning officer will do everything possible to find someone to enchant her. Is it the reason why I'm here to wait for her to come back?
However, Anne herself didn't care too much about such small things.
"correct!"
"Your Excellency Archmage Anne, I heard that Ms. Jessica and Mr. Alvin are back and should be in Princess Shirley's study now!"
Seeing Annie was about to leave, the officer suddenly remembered something important and hurriedly reminded her.
That was what the distinguished Archmage Anne had told him a few days ago, and now that the other party had helped him a lot, he had always kept this matter in mind.
"came back?!"
!(;?o?)o
"Great! Go watch the excitement!"
???(?)????
"Thank you, uncle!"
-=????=?????(?)?
After hearing the important news, Anne could no longer stand. She turned around and ran towards the study of a certain lord's daughter.
It turns out that more than ten days ago, Anne did not accept the invitation from Alvin, Hain, Liana, and a certain great magician Jessica to go to the boring holy land Lei Dier, but went alone He stayed in Karsus City for about ten days.
As for the reason why she doesn't want to go, it must not be told outside...
During this period of time, she basically visited this small and medium-sized city. She visited all the delicious and fun places, and she had already become a little impatient.
However, it was fine now. Just when she was considering whether to leave this poor place, finally, rarely, the group of guys who went to a hidden holy place to find the wand finally came back. She was so moved. If you want to be honest, you should always greet and care for someone kindly.
(…)
(● ̄? ̄●)
…
At this time, Alvin, Hain, Jessica, Liana, Princess Shirley and others were sitting idle on the sofas, chairs and various places in the study. They all looked sad, and they didn’t know who they were before. Discussing something.
Kick, kick, kick...
"??"
"..."
"Well……?"
"Hey~!"
It wasn't until bursts of heavy and cheerful footsteps sounded in the corridor outside that they all looked towards the door in confusion, confusion, or laughter.
Sure enough, in the next second, a smart, cute, well-behaved and clever little girl wearing a red skirt rushed in like crazy and asked impatiently:
"Hey! Everyone is back?"
o(▽` o)=3 =3 =3
"How about it?"
ヾ(⌒?⌒*)~?
"Have you found that super powerful dark wand?"
(*?▽?*)
A certain troubled little girl rushed straight into the hall. Then, regardless of the ugly faces of everyone, she asked loudly and urgently with ill intentions and knowingly.
(…)
(ノ?`*)
(Tibbers knew that this would indeed be the case. This was the bad taste of his annoying little master...)
"What dark wand?"
"Annie..."
"You said it wrong again, it's not the 'Wand of Darkness', it's the 'Wand of Darkness'!"
Seeing that a certain arcane archmage who had not been seen for many days was still acting like a little girl, carefree all day long, Liana, who was a little dumbfounded, could only force herself to cheer up, cover her mouth and correct him with a chuckle. road.
"Does that make a difference?"
(°ー°〃)
"oops!"
o(`▽′*)o
"That's not important, just the name or whatever. Anyway, that's what it means!"
(?~?)
"Tell me, have you got that magic wand? Take it out and show it to others?"
?(ψ`▽′)o
Anne continued to talk eagerly.
Although, she had already guessed a rough result from the faces of these guys in front of her, but she still wanted to ask in person, and then see the expressions on their faces when they told the specific situation. What kind of interesting expression is it?
After all, it was a fun and fulfilling little game for Annie. What she focused more on was not the final result, but the interesting process.
"Well..."
"I actually don't know very well, because I didn't go in at all..."
Liana didn't say anything more, she just smiled and was perfunctory. At the same time, she looked at Hain and Alvin aside as if asking for help.
But in fact, what she said was not wrong.
Because, she did not enter the dark and terrifying ancient temple ruins with Alvin, Hain and others at that time, but stayed outside and waited with the great magician Jessica.
"??"
(?Д?≡?д?)?
"You should hurry up and tell me, I'm really worried!"
?(?﹏?,)?
As a last resort, the impatient Annie had no choice but to look at Hain on one side and Alvin on the other side.
"I can't tell you anything about magic."
"I think it's Hain, right?"
Alvin opened his mouth, but finally shook his head with a bit of frustration and a wry smile, and pushed the matter to Hain, who was still in good spirits.
"Um?"
(???.???)????
"Say it!"
(??ˇεˇ??)
There was no choice but to turn around and glare at the blue-haired idiot magician apprentice angrily.
"Magic wand..."
"Unfortunately, although we did find it, but..."
"We couldn't bring it back!"
Seeing that everyone was exhausted and did not want to mention what happened in the Holy Land Lei Dier Ruins a few days ago, Hain had no choice but to pick up the energy and take advantage of the gap where everyone was resting and thinking about the next action plan to tell the story. The whole story was slowly told in detail.
"We didn't get the dark wand, but we had a big fight with Egbert, the leader of the Imperial Army's Magister Legion, in the ancient temple."
"It may be a long story, but the situation at that time..."
"That's probably it?"
It turns out that more than ten days ago, Hain, Alvin, Liana, Luo Jia, Princess Shirley, General Keith, Lista and his teacher, the great magician Jessica, led the troops and set off. He also brought many mercenaries hired in Karsus City.
Then, after several days of trekking, and under the leadership of his cheap teacher Jessica, they quickly and successfully found the destination hidden in the dense forest among the mountains and ridges - the holy land of Lei Dier.
And then……
As expected, just as his teacher Jessica expected, the leader of the Empire's Black Dragon Mage Group, Egbert, who was known for his cunning, ruthlessness and cruelty, arrived there at almost the same time, and was one step ahead of them. Entered the ruins.
Immediately afterwards, of course they rushed in without hesitation, and with the small number of guardians inside who didn't seem to be very large, anyway, they were far less numerous and powerful than what his teacher Jessica said, and with those who were There was a big battle between the demonized slime, the werewolf, and the Imperial soldiers who entered first.
"oh!"
(⊙o⊙*)
Annie said oh.
Of course she knew why there were so few monsters in that ancient temple, because all the undead inside had been purified by her fire, and not a single one was left!
As for the disgusting 'little softies', of course she had taken away some of them. Perhaps the only ones that were intact were those cunning werewolves who ran away when they saw her.
However, those werewolves were first beaten up by the uncles of the Imperial Army, and then severely beaten by people like Alvin and Hain. There must not be many left in the end, right?
"That……"
ヾ(′??`?)ノ
"Then what, did you win in the end?"
(?ω?)
However, small things like ancient guardians are not important, and they are not the focus of her concern, so Anne continued to ask about the following things with interest.
"at last?"
"Well……"
"at the end….."
"The cunning Egbert of the Imperial Army saw that the situation was not going well, so he led his people to run away from the other side of the temple. I think we should be considered a winner, right?"
Thinking about the frustrated but helpless Egebert at that time, Hain showed a very forced smile for the first time in a rare occasion.
"Consider it a win?"
(◎_◎;)
"Since we have won, why are you all so depressed?"
∑(′△`)? !
Anne continued to ask strangely and looked forward to it anxiously.
"because……"
"because……"
call!
"Because we didn't get the wand either!"
After opening his mouth, Hain finally let out a heavy breath, and his face, which had just improved a little, suddenly fell. At the same time, he lowered his head in frustration and said the words that made him feel a little bitter and couldn't help but laugh. Know how to face the hard truth.
"ah?"
!(;?o?)o
"Did the enemy take it away?"
|???ω??)??
Although she knew that something like that was unlikely to happen, Anne still deliberately spoke out and asked thiefly, pretending to be surprised.
(…)
(¬?¬.)
(If possible, Tibbers would really like to jump out and say loudly to his bad little master: Don’t you know who took that thing away?)
"That's not true!"
"I think it should still be in that holy place now?"
"Can……"
"I don't know what's going on. Whether it's us or the Imperial Army, everyone has tried many times but can't pull it out?"
As he spoke, he thought about the battle between the two sides in the deepest part of the temple. But in the end, looking at the ridiculous appearance of the wand stuck on the altar but unable to be pulled out, Hain thought A rare wry smile appeared again.
After that battle, both sides suffered a lot of casualties, especially the Imperial Army. Due to the depth of the army alone and the small number of personnel, and inside the temple, Egbert was unable to use more powerful and destructive power. Greater magic, so they were lucky enough to win the other side, and under the intimidation of Teacher Jessica outside, they finally scared off the other side.
"Is that so?"
(??ω??)
"Maybe……"
?乛?乛?
"Maybe it's like a certain silly girl's 'Sword in the Stone'. It requires a specific person or a specific time to pull it out?"
(????-)?
"How come you guys are back so soon and don't try more often?"
?(ψ`▽′)o
Blinking, I thought that these guys had been working hard for a long time for the fake and absolutely impossible wand, and even the two sides even fought and beat their heads off, but in the end no one could take it away. It looked like Anne had been holding back for a long time before she could barely hold back the smile she had when her prank succeeded, and asked with a pretended look of concern.

(● ̄? ̄●)
"Try more?"
"No! We've tried it many times!"
"Alvin, Princess Shirley, and everyone else and I have tried it several times, even Teacher Jessica has tried it!"
"I'm afraid you don't know, Master Anne?"
"We stayed there for two full days and tried all kinds of methods. In the end, because we were a little worried that the Imperial Army would come back, we had to rush back and prepare to think of other methods."
"However, General Keith has left a lot of spies nearby to observe. If anything happens, they will definitely pass the news back to us as soon as possible."
Hain didn't hide anything, and directly told the instigator of the terrible little girl all the things and arrangements he knew.
"That's right!"
"Just like what Hain just said, I did try it at the time, but..."
"I don't know why, but hundreds of years have passed, and the seal has not only shown no signs of loosening, but has become stronger and stronger. Even I feel helpless."
Seeing the depressed expressions of everyone, it was rare that at this time, the great magician Jessica comforted them and smiled bitterly.
"That's it..."
(??ω??)
"That is indeed a pity!"
(*?′?`?)
In fact, Anne wanted to tell the other party that no matter who it was, no one could pull out the wand!
Because the real dark wand was already in her pocket, and what was left in the temple now was just a fake that was exactly the same in appearance and in the magic waves it emitted.
Moreover, is it still the kind of fake that no one can pull out?
"It's a pity!"
"but……"
"If you think about it from another angle, this is actually quite good. I think at least that guy Egbert can't do anything with that seal, right?"
However, even though she said that, judging from Jessica's still frowning, that kind of weird thing must be bothering her, and her mood at this moment is definitely not like her. He looked so relaxed on his lips.
You know, she has lived for thousands of years and has been reincarnated as a great magician countless times. When she sealed the dark wand, she herself participated, and even several of the seals had her handiwork. !
But now, it's good. Hundreds of years have passed, and she, the magician, can't break the strong seal. This joke is really too big.
"Okay, everyone, it's better not to think about that matter."
"Ms. Jessica!"
"Although there may be no need to worry about the Dark Wand for the time being, after all, that terrifying magic sword has been obtained by the emperor of the empire. Even if it is not unsealed, its power is still terrifying. We must take corresponding countermeasures as soon as possible!"
"Let's talk about the holy sword you talked about on the way back, right?"
At this time, Alvin spoke a little annoyed, directly signaling everyone not to discuss the matter that was causing everyone a headache, and instead turned to talk about another matter.
"!!"
(⊙_⊙)?
"Holy Sword? What Holy Sword?!"
(*?▽?*)
She had just finished talking about the Dark Wand. No, it seemed that Anne had found some amazing treasure again without paying attention. So, she quickly put out the idea of leaving, and just looked left and right, wanting to Learn more about the 'Holy Sword' from the mouths of these guys present.
(…)
ε=(′?`●)))Alas
(Seeing the expression on his bad little master’s face, Tibbers knew that some guys would soon be unlucky for talking too much, that’s for sure.)
"But!"
"Elvin, does the legendary secret sword, the holy sword Langulisa, really exist?"
At this time, Princess Shirley, who had been silent, finally spoke.
Obviously, as the daughter of the lord of Karsus City, she is somewhat involved in many secret rumors, and this is not the first time she has heard of the Holy Sword Langulissa.
"Of course it does."
"Back then, in order to hide the light from others, I sealed the Holy Sword of Light in Bardia City!"
Without waiting for anyone else to say any doubtful words, the great magician Jessica answered the question decisively.
Just like the dark wand, Jessica was also involved in the sealing of the Holy Sword Langulisa. Who gave her the ability to reincarnate and live for thousands of years?
"!!"
(*ˉ?ˉ*;)
"Bardia City..."
(??ω??)
have to!
At this moment, Annie seemed to have accidentally discovered some great secret.
"ah!"
"But......"
"Teacher Jessica, is that holy sword like that magic wand? The seal is very strong and cannot be taken out?"
First he exclaimed, and then Hain asked with some anxiety.
After all, the Dark Wand incident had left them with some psychological shadow. He no longer wanted to work in vain for ten days and a half or more, and then in the end, just like the wand, a group of people looked at it. Holy Sword stared blankly.
"Won't!"
"I know the seal of the Holy Sword very well. Anyone who is a descendant of light can easily pull it out!"
"so......"
"If you want to go, Alvin, you must move quickly!"
"I can't guarantee that Egbert will be able to deduce the true sealing place of the Holy Sword from other books. I'm afraid there won't be too few people who knew the location of the Holy Sword back then?"
After first denying Hain's guess, Jessica looked at Alvin with a sullen face, who was frowning in thought.
"Huh?"
"Why Alvin..."
"!!"
"Could it be..."
At this time, looking at Magic Jessica's expression, Princess Shirley seemed to have guessed something, and she widened her eyes in disbelief and exclaimed.
"Yes!"
"Erwin is a descendant of Glory just like you!"
Jessica didn’t hide anything and nodded directly.
Princess Shirley is the descendant of Lance and Namu, and she also has the identity of a glorious descendant. Jessica has already known about it.
However, unlike Shirley, Alvin is the prince of the Kingdom of Gubardia, a descendant of the descendant of Prince Redding who inherited the glorious power and was full of courage and honor. Compared to Shirley, he is the prince of Gubardia. For Lance, the guard captain of the Gudarsith Empire who once chose the wrong path, he must appear more upright and trustworthy.
And this is the real reason why Jessica chose and favored Alvin.
"Descendant of Radiance?"
(°ー°〃)
As she listened, Annie seemed to have discovered another interesting statement.
