I raise elves in Florian

Upon hearing Frilian's words, Philon quickly hid behind Frilian.

"Don't react like that, it will hurt me..."

Hugh Tarek looked at Philon's actions with a sad expression and said.

"You don't deny that you can do that, do you?"

Frilian smiled and looked at Hugh Tarek, and Hugh Tarek's lack of denial meant that he could indeed kill Philon from a distance of about five meters.

"I won't approach you again from this distance..."

Shutark said, on the verge of tears, "There's nothing I can do. He really can do it. After all, he's a warrior."

"Just do it as usual."

"We were just kidding."

Seeing this, Frilian and Philon quickly comforted her.

"Even a mage as powerful as Celie risks being killed when facing a skilled warrior."

Frilian looked at Jane and Falsh and said, "The worst thing for a mage is to be attacked by a warrior at close range. Casting magic takes time, and a skilled warrior can seize this opportunity to strike quickly."

“Of course we have considered this possibility. I, Jianze, and Falshu will protect Lady Celie. We are both experts in close combat and fighting against warriors.”

As Jianze spoke, he began to wave his hair. Falshuu also demonstrated his abilities. Jianze's hair had been enchanted with various spells, making it even stronger than defensive magic.

But he encountered an unreasonable mage like Yubel. No matter how much magic was applied to his hair, it was still hair. As long as it was hair, Yubel could cut it off as easily as scissors.

"If the enemy is a top-notch warrior, then the situation is hard to say. At least we encountered one on our way to the capital."

Frillie remembered the warrior in the shadows they had encountered in the transit village.

"A warrior in the shadows?"

Jane Ze knew what was going on as soon as he heard what Frilian said. The intelligence that had been sent also mentioned that they were assassinating people who posed a threat to the Empire near the Empire.

"Yes."

Frillie nodded.

"Lord Shi Yichen will be by Lady Celie's side during the ball, so there's no need to worry about that."

Jian Ze looked at Shi Yichen next to Frilian. She and Falshu were only the people who were protecting Celie on the surface. There were also Shi Yichen and Flame in the dark, so there was no need to worry about Celie's safety at all.

"Now that everything's arranged, shall we go out for a walk?"

Frilian looked at Jian Ze and asked, "Since everything is arranged, there's nothing for them to do now, right? Can they go and enjoy the National Day holiday in the capital?"

"Yes, but be careful. No one knows if the enemy will launch an assassination attempt beforehand."

Jane nodded and instructed Frilian and the others that the enemy already knew when they stepped into the Empire's territory and was probably monitoring them now.

"I understand, Philon, let's go."

Frilian nodded, took Shi Yichen's hand, and led Philon and Shutark out of the house.

Although it was already evening, the streets were still brightly lit and bustling with activity, as many merchants gathered there to sell all sorts of things.

"A magical tool that can hear sounds from afar..."

Frillie looked at the cat ears in her hand with curiosity.

"is this real?"

Frillie looked at the stall owner and asked.

"You can give it a try."

The stall owner let Frillie try it herself.

"I don't understand..."

Frillie nodded, put the cat ears on her head, and tried them out, but they didn't seem to have any effect.

"Philan, you give it a try."

Frilian handed the cat ears from her head to Philon.

"Seriously... I can't feel any magic at all, it must be a fake."

Despite saying that, Philon still put the cat ears on her head.

"No need to try them, I'll take them all."

Without a second thought, Shi Yichen handed the money to the stall owner. He didn't care if it was real or fake; that was the kind of thing he wanted.

"That's a good idea!"

Shutark nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, sir."

The stall owner smiled and wrapped up all the cat ear designs on the stall.

"Someone is watching us."

Shi Yichen noticed that someone was observing them and smiled as he spoke to Frilian.

"Yeah, I noticed that too. I guess it's the person who assassinated Celie."

Frillie nodded as she selected the magical tools, glancing in the direction from which the gaze was directed.

"Ignore them, they're just a bunch of clowns, they won't spoil our shopping mood."

Shi Yichen said, holding Frilian's hand, and then walked towards the next stall.

"Ah."

Frillie smiled and nodded. Sometimes, nothing else mattered; now it was shopping time.

Shi Yichen was having a great time shopping, but things weren't going so well for Yubel.

Because they were discovered by the Magic Special Forces while gathering intelligence, they are now being pursued by the Magic Special Forces.

. . . . . .

In the outpost.

"Haven't Yubel and Lanto returned yet?"

Jian Ze checked the time and turned to Falshu, asking, "At this time, one of the two should have already returned."

"Not yet. There are signs of battle in the Old Empire Square. It seems that the Magic Special Forces have intervened."

Falshu told Jane the information he had gathered.

Why are those guys stationed in the capital?

Jian Ze was puzzled; this was different from the information in the intelligence report.

"I don't know."

Falshu was also surprised by this.

"This is different from Linel's prior report. Based on past experience, the Magic Special Forces should be responsible for security work around the border."

Because of the national event of holding the National Day banquet, the borders actually require even more manpower to be stationed, which is why the Magic Special Forces cannot return to the capital. This intelligence gathering plan was formulated based on this premise.

Jian Ze didn't understand why the Magic Special Agent Team would appear in the capital at this time. Had their operation been leaked? Was there a mole within the team?

"It's almost as if the defense forces were deliberately concentrated in the capital for some purpose."

Falshuu also began to have doubts, but he had no idea why the enemy would do this.

"Forget it, I'm not going to think about it anymore. They're probably already under control. I'll go rescue them and at least show Yubel some respect as a senior."

As he spoke, Jian Ze prepared to leave for the Magic Special Forces' prison to rescue the people.

Don't be fooled by how easily Yubel defeated Jianze; that was only because of the magic advantage. Even disregarding the advantage, Jianze's strength was still among the top of the first-level mages. No mage who could serve by Seria's side was weak.

"No need to save us, we're back."
