457 The Little Princess’s Request
"Finn!"
"elder sister!"
In front of the gate of the Mapros family, a pair of siblings from the Viscount Elisir family finally reunited, running towards each other and crying with joy.
"That's great, miss, master...!"
Geer looked on and secretly wiped the corners of his eyes with some joy.
However, it is not just the three people from the Elisir family who appear here, there are also many people who are protected by the knights of the Mapros family.
These people are old and young, men and women, some are refugees, some are soldiers, and there are even noble children like Fanny's brother.
Some of them reunited with their family members who had been notified and came to greet them, while others were being cared for by servants arranged by the Maples family and were eating or drinking, creating a scene of the return of a large-scale victim. .
Looking at this scene, Li Ge, who came with Fanny and Geer, asked Raven on the side.
"Where did you find them?"
Rige stood at the gate of Mapros' house, standing with Raven and Liz, looking ahead and talking.
"Deep in a mountain range." Raven replied truthfully: "There is a lair there that was originally built by monsters. The lair was transformed into an underground base. It was there that our people discovered the recent Anyone who has disappeared within two or three months has not returned empty-handed.”
After Liton's incident was over, Raven, who decided to clean up the Mapros Territory, summoned the power of the entire territory and began a series of major actions.
He first arrested all the managers of places where disappearances had occurred, and then cooperated with Nibald and the court magicians sent by the palace to interrogate, cross-examine and even torture these people, and successfully uncovered the He captured all the local nobles and local bureaucrats who used the people as trading goods and sent them all to prison cells to be punished at a later date.
During this process, Raven also successfully learned about the recent human trading situation, and extracted some information from those who had recently cooperated with the magic dolls, such as the people they would use as trading items. Which route people are transported from, etc.
After learning the general movement route of the traded goods, Raven asked the Kaz brothers to find civil servants who were responsible for making suggestions. Through the calculations and coordination of the routes by those civil servants, he finally successfully found out several possible routes. The location of the Magical Doll's base.
The mountain lair Raven just mentioned is one of these places.
The next thing was simple. Raven gave a few orders directly, and the knights under the Mapros family divided their troops into several groups and went to these locations one after another to conduct carpet-like searches.
In this way, the knights of the Maples family found the people who had been missing in the recent period and brought them back from the lair.
but……
"Except for the people who have disappeared in the past two or three months, we have not found any of the other people who have been missing." A haze appeared on Raven's face, and he said in a deep voice: "Also, the mysterious people who committed these crimes We haven’t found any of the characters or the so-called magic dolls you mentioned.”
Although this result made Li Ge a little disappointed, it did not surprise him.
"It seems that they saw that the situation was not good and had already retreated in advance." Li Ge said: "This shows that their base camp is not in the territory of Mapros, and it is very likely that it is somewhere else."
Otherwise, they would not have retreated so simply and quickly.
"That's what I think too." Raven agreed with Li Ge and felt helpless and angry about the situation. "It's a pity that we can't catch them all."
Li Ge disagrees with this statement.
"If the knights under your command really encounter those magic dolls, it's really not certain who will catch whom."
Li Ge said this while shaking his head.
Just kidding, those magic dolls are difficult figures that even a level 7 swordsman must treat with caution. Even if you don’t count out all the weird things about them, they are still a senior swordsman level equivalent to level 6. The combat power is definitely not an opponent that ordinary knights can easily defeat.
Especially in this situation where they don’t know how many opponents there are and how many similar magic dolls there are, if the Mapros family takes action against them rashly, the final result will most likely not be that they capture those dolls. The magic dolls, but those magic dolls, destroyed them all, and then retreated leisurely.
Therefore, Li Ge never expected that the Maples family could capture those magic dolls. As long as they could provide him with some clues, that would be enough.
"Are those magic dolls really that difficult to deal with?"
Raven seemed a little reluctant to believe it.
"You will know when you meet them." Li Ge said this lightly without explaining, and then said: "Since those suspicious guys have retreated, there is no need for me to If you continue to stay here and wait for news, you can decide what happens next. "
After hearing Li Ge's words, Raven had some reaction.
"Are you leaving?" Raven turned his gaze to Li Ge and said, "Aren't you going to stay for a while longer?"
"What's the point?" Li Ge glanced at Raven and said, "Besare is not a tourist destination, and my destination is not here. In this case, what's the need to stay here for as long as possible?"
You know, in Li Ge's original plan, he never thought of coming to Besare.
His original plan was to directly miss Besare and enter the neutral zone through the border checkpoint. Entering Besare like this and staying there was already beyond Lige's original itinerary plan.
Under such circumstances, those magic dolls have withdrawn from the Mapros Territory, so there is no reason for Rige to stay here anymore.
Therefore, Li Ge chose to leave without any hesitation, leaving Raven in silence.
Suddenly, Raven said something.
"I wrote a letter about your performance during this period and sent it to the palace."
Raven actually said such words.
"Whether you defeated me in a head-on duel, or whether you were able to use miraculous space magic and was an aptitude person, I mentioned it all in the letter." Raven said to Li Ge. Said: "The king has also read my letter and sent me a reply."
"Then what?" Li Ge said calmly, "What do you want to say?"
"You know what I want to say." Raven stared directly at Li Ge and said, "You can defeat me in a head-on confrontation. Just based on this matter, there must have been an uproar in the royal capital."
"Now I find out that you are an aerialist, a magician who has learned space magic, and you can use space magic to send a large army to a distant place at will. This matter falls to the royal family. And I believe you don’t understand how valuable it will be in the eyes of the nobles in the royal capital.”
"Do you know what the king said in the reply he sent me?"
What else could it be?
It is nothing more than asking Raven to retain Li Ge as much as possible and find ways to make him loyal to the kingdom and contribute to the kingdom.
"His Majesty Hemulinpu asked me that as long as you are willing to stay, he can make an exception and let you enter the treasure house again and take away up to three treasures from there."
Raven laid out all the conditions generously.
"He is willing to give it up." Li Ge curled his lips and said with a smile: "The three treasures in the kingdom's treasure house are indeed priceless."
Not to mention anything else, let’s just talk about the God of Meloai of Lige, the Sword of the Rebel and the Armor of Monis from Raven. These three ancient secret treasures were all taken out from the kingdom’s treasure house. Which one is the most common among mortals? thing?
Being able to choose three secret treasures like this would make anyone feel excited.
The same is true for Li Ge.
If you ask him if he is moved, he definitely is.
However, just because his heart is beating, it doesn't mean that he will agree.
Raven seemed to see this from Li Ge's attitude.
"...It seems that you didn't want to agree."
Raven said this with regret.
"There is no way, this is not my ambition." Li Gegujing said calmly: "If I really had that intention, I would have accepted the title and become a noble when I was in the royal capital."
"That's true." Raven felt relieved, smiled at Li Ge, and said, "Although it's a bit regretful that we couldn't improve the power of this country, at least we didn't become your enemy. This result is not bad. "
"You were not like this before, Lord Mapros." Li Ge looked at Raven strangely and said, "You were much more domineering and powerful before. I didn't expect you to say such a thing that would undermine your prestige." What if?”
"If you were just a swordsman, then even if you defeated me head-on, I might recognize you, but I would never admit defeat like this." Lei Wen said calmly: "But you are not only a swordsman, but also a swordsman. A magician with the aptitude for the aerial system, I am deeply impressed by all the magic you have used in the underground monster Arakulon, and I really don’t want to face that kind of power.”
"Really?" Li Ge smiled and said, "Okay, then I hope we won't face each other again next time."
Raven nodded in agreement very seriously.
The two chatted for a while, mentioning Fanny and Finn, as well as Nibald and Anti.
Raven is already planning to let some of the noble children who are training here go home first to report that they are safe, so he will arrange for someone to escort Fanny and others back to the Elisir Territory.
Nibald and Anti will stay at the Mapros home and study the collection of books, documents and ancient secret treasures presented by Maya with the court magician sent by the palace.
In other words, Li Ge will be separated from them here.
"Please help me bring a message to them to say goodbye."
Li Ge had no intention of saying goodbye to them anymore, and directly entrusted them to Raven.
Raven readily agreed.
In this way, Li Ge took Liz and left the Maples house under Raven's watch.
During this process, Liz remained silent.
Just when the two were about to return to the peaceful town, Liz seemed to have made a decision and made a request to Li Ge.
"Master, I want to go back to the royal capital."
