Volume 8 Chapter 8 Why did you play us?
As soon as the green light indicating it was connected lit up, the Magic Communicator in Lucianâs hand let out an anxious middle aged manâs voice.
âHello, young miss, where are you? Are you all right?â
âYoung miss?â Lucian was surprised. He turned to look at the girl who had turned back after hearing his cry and he understood.
As soon as Lucian spoke, there was a crude voice that interrupted from the other side.
âWho are you? Whereâs the young miss? Where did you take her? Let me warn you! If you dare touch a single hair on the young missâ head, I guarantee that you and the people behind you will die terrible deaths!â
Lucian knitted his brows as he thought that these words seemed similar to the words he read in novels before?
Although from the moment that the girl pulled out the personal Magic Bazooka, he knew that she definitely wasnât a normal girl, hearing the anxious and breathless voice from the other side, he was a bit surprised.
This girlâŠ..her backing wasnât simple. She might even be from one of the large noble families of the empire.
But based on the actions of the girl, she didnât seem like a strictly trained daughter of a noble familyâŠâŠ
âYour young miss is fine, sheâs currentlyâŠâŠâ Lucian looked up, âSheâs heading over here, you can talk to her.â
Lucian handed it over like a hot potato, giving the Magic Communicator to the girl who walked over.
âHello? Is this uncle Harris? Relax, Iâm very good right now. Un? Oh, Iâm fine, Iâm really fine. This group of human smugglers got a bunch of old weapons from an unknown place, but it isnât any threat to me. Of course, you donât believe in my abilities? UnâŠâŠI never said that I didnât want you to come, rather I hope that you can come as soon as possibleâŠâŠDonât misunderstand, Iâm not in danger, but these kids here need to be protected. Moreover, there should be quite a few more that should be locked up, so you should come as soon as you canâŠâŠâ
Hearing the girl talking on the Magic Communicator, the expressions of the others around her became even more strange.
This strange girl who suddenly appeared seemed to have a very deep backing. Moreover, it seemed like she knew that the enemies were here and based on her tone, she was deliberately caught so she could come hereâŠâŠ
With the strength she showed before and her current backing, perhaps she could have taken care of the enemies, but why did she have to put herself in danger?
If she had strong enough helpers, why not just get them to come?
The girlâs conversation didnât last long. She ended it with a few more words and then gave the Magic Communicator back to Lucian.
âKeep the signal connected.â
Lucian nodded in response. With the method he tested with just now, he used his magic to create a special wave for the Magic Communicator.
The girl gave a shrug to the others before spreading her hands. Her expression didnât change, but she clearly showed her helplessness.
âAi, I thought that I could make a mess with you, but now we canât. Thereâs no other way, since my helpers have already found me, then thereâs nothing for us to do. Alright, everyone can find a place to hide with me and when the helpers arrive, youâll be safe.â
A girl with a round face couldnât help asking, âYour helpers should be very far away, right? How could they get here so quickly?â
âRight, unless they have the newest Magic Airships, itâs impossible for them to catch up that quicklyâŠâŠâ
The boy who spoke had only finished half his words before stopping, looking up in the sky with everyone else.
There were two shadows that had appeared in the sky, covering the space above them.
With the bright sunlight, everyone could tell that these two giant shadows were clearly two Magic Airships.
Everyone looked on in a daze as the two Magic Airships quickly landed. One of them appeared in front of them while the other one landed on the grass near them.
The Magic Airshipâs cabin opened and a middle aged man in a military uniform was the first one out as he rushed to the girlâs side.
âYoung miss! I finally found you!â When the middle aged man saw the girl, he yelled in an exaggerated voice, âDo you know, when I lost contact with you, I was almost scared to death!â
The girl laughed, âI already said that nothing would happen to me. Uncle Harris, if you keep scaring yourself like this, you might not live that long.â
The middle aged man called uncle Harris patted his chest before knitting his brows to say with a cold snort, âWhich time was I not scared by you? Youâre not embarrassed saying this.â
The girl pulled his arm before pointing at the students around her and then pointing at the manor.
âAlright, letâs not talk about this. Uncle Harris, look, this was the group that was brought with me. From the news that I obtained, they are students from the various major academies. As for the manor, it should be the den of the smugglers. You should know what to do, you donât need me to say anything, right?â
Harris looked at the large number of Magic Combat Vehicles that came from the manor and gave a cold snort. His expression turned extremely cold as he released his killing intent.
âI wanted to catch all these pieces of trash already. Young miss, since you risked yourself and found their den, then itâs easy to take care of. Our FreshâŠ..Ke, they only have some obsolete military magic machines, so itâs impossible for them to face us.â
After saying this, Harris looked at the confused students before saying to the girl, âYoung miss, the Candra Empireâs people are right behind and will be here soon. You should go into the Magic Airship with these students, weâll take care of the rest.â
The girl rolled her eyes, âI got it, thereâs no chance for me to perform once youâre here. But forget it, I had some fun just now, so Iâm satisfied. Uncle Harris, there will definitely be other captives in the manor, so you have to take care of them.â
Harris gave her a hand signal to be assured. He waved his hand and he headed into the manor with the other fully armed soldiers that came out of the Magic Airship with him.
âAlright, itâs uncle Harrisâ job from now on. You should all evacuate with me.â The girl waved her hand at the others and then headed to the Magic Airship that stayed behind.
The students finally saw the hope of escaping and didnât dare delay as they quickly followed the girl into the Magic Airship.
This Magic Airship only seemed to be a medium sized Magic Airship on the outside, but it was fifty to sixty meters long and ten meters wide. They found that the space inside was very big, easily fitting all of them.
For these students, it was their first time in a Magic Airship, so they curiously looked around.
After looking around, they found that the inside of the Magic Airship was a bit different from the Magic Airships that they saw in the Magic Illusion Projectors before.
Compared to the Magic Airships used for passenger transportation, this Magic Airship was much more simple. There were no decorations and the interior even seemed a bit cold.
These students knew that this Magic Airship wasnât used for civilian use, but rather this was a military Magic Airship.
The way that everyone looked at the girl changed again.
When that Harris called her young miss, it meant that the girl should be a descendant of a large noble family that should have had a high position.
Then with this Magic Airship that was a complete military Magic Airship, could it be that this girl was a descendant of a large noble from the Candra Empire army?
But that Harris had just said âthe Candra Empire people are behind usâ, which meant that they were from another country.
They were even more curious as to what this girlâs status was.
After Lucian got on the Magic Airship, he didnât look around like the others and lowered his head in silence.
After a while, he suddenly stood up and walked over to that girl.
âHere, this is your Magic Communicator, Iâm giving it back.â Lucian gave the Magic Communicator the girl had given him back to her.
âOh, thanks.â The girl replied before asking in a curious voice, âRight, what is your name? To be able to ensure that the Magic Communicator wasnât impeded and maintain the connection, it seems like your skills in terms of magic communications arenât bad.â
Hearing this girlâs praise, the surrounding students couldnât help revealing envious looks.
This girl had a deep backing and if one could catch her eye, that would be a good opportunity.
However, Lucian stared at this girl for a bit before taking a deep breath. He shook his head before saying in a cold voice, âWhy did you play us?â
When this was said, the Magic Airship cabin erupted in an uproar.
The other students looked at Lucian in a daze. What was wrong with this fellow?
He actually dared to accuse this girl to her face, could it be that he couldnât tell that the other sideâs status wasnât normal?
âI played you?â The girl had the same expressionless face, but her tone was relaxed. It was like she didnât care about Lucianâs accusation at all, but rather there was a laugh that was hidden in her voice.
Lucian pointed at the Magic Communicator in the girlâs hand.
âYou told me that areaâs elemental magic energy frequency, which allowed me to change the wave band of the Magic Communicator, allowing it to ignore the magic space and send out the communication.â
âUn, I did tell you. What about it?â
âSince you knew this value and knew the value to solve the magic signal, then with your abilities, Iâm certain that you could have solved the problem. You also would have been much faster than me, which would have been better. Why didnât you do it yourself?â
