After a head-on confrontation with Meiko Anten, Harman also roughly understood some of the former's strengths. Although he was not as good as him in a head-on confrontation, he possessed the rare attribute of space.
Even if she couldn't beat him, as long as she wanted to run away, Haman wouldn't be able to catch up with her, so he could only settle for the second best and rescue the little princess first.
"I can't promise you that, because she told me in person that she wanted to go with me, so just give up."
"She told you so herself..." Harman repeated this sentence, and finally sighed, "What evidence do you have to prove it?"
"Evidence? Of course there is." After saying that, she imagined the function of the projector in her mind, moved the magic wand to the side, and projected her memories from not long ago.
"Do you want to leave with your sister, or do you want to stay here?" After An Teng Meizi asked this question, Ronia made a series of wonderful personal remarks.
Finally, she seemed to have made up her mind. She looked at the palace without a trace of nostalgia and said, "Ronia wants to leave with her sister."
"Light-attribute magic that can restore memories..." Harman murmured, then sighed heavily. "Although I guessed this day would come, I didn't expect it to come so soon."
"So can you tell me the truth?" Seeing that Harman had put away his hostility, An Teng Meizi relaxed a little. If he still came to kill her without knowing the situation, she would have no choice but to turn around and run away.
"Since you were chosen by the little princess, it means that your character is trustworthy. In that case, I will only say this once."
Harman lowered his head and breathed slowly, as if he was trying to organize his words. Then he looked up at Anten Meizi and said, "The little princess has awakened the bloodline of a hero... Take good care of her. If I find out you're bullying her, I'll hunt you down no matter where you are."
That was all he said. He was about to leave when An Teng Meizi called out to him, "Wait."
Feeling something thrown at him from behind, Harman flexed his muscles and turned around to catch it. When he turned around, he found that it was a doll about the same size as Ronia.
"Don't worry, I'm just bait to attract your attention. Little Ronya has already left the Imperial City. You can take this back with you."
Harman remained silent. He looked at the doll in his hand, then at the girl's back as she turned and left. For a moment, he was suspended in the air without any movement.
Finally, An Teng Meizi's figure sank into the sea of forest and disappeared. He then let out a long sigh and turned to leave: "I hope this is a good thing for the little princess."
While maintaining low altitude flight, Anten Meiko was thinking. As she expected, the reason why Ronia was treated differently by the guards and maids was because of the competition for the throne.
Although Harman only provided one piece of information, it expanded Anten Meiko's thinking and she guessed a lot of things.
The Kingdom of Potter was founded by the first generation of brave men. This country probably highly respects the bloodline of brave men, so whoever has the bloodline of brave men can become the ruler of a country.
The current king is still young, and his daughter has the blood of a brave man, which will directly threaten his rule. Therefore, he took this approach to hide Ronia in the palace.
The reason why Ronia was not eliminated immediately was just to give his country an additional means to fight against the demons.
The reason why those servants would isolate Ronia regardless of their status was because the emperor and the prince were involved. Over time, these servants got used to doing this and thought that the emperor wanted them to do so.
As for why Haman's men wanted to kill Ronia, Anten Meiko had no idea, but seeing how much they admired their legion commander, this matter might be related to Haman.
"Blood of a hero?... To be able to say that, it's really not the wisdom of a seven-year-old girl. I wonder what kind of magic she has?"
Shaking her head to get rid of all the thoughts in her mind, Meiko Anten immediately increased her speed and crossed the forest, using her radar to search for Beth and Ronya.
Soon she went around the west gate and found two people hiding in a tree hole, not daring to move. Her speed suddenly increased, and she quickly passed through one thick tree after another and arrived at the designated meeting place.
Before she could say anything, a petite figure had already thrown herself into her arms in mid-air: "Sister Yazi, that's great, you're fine. I was so worried when I saw Uncle Hamman come out."
Anten Meiko gently stroked Ronia's head, and looked up at Beth who was walking behind her. She was looking at Ronia in disbelief. Obviously, she had no idea why this seven-year-old girl had discovered Anten Meiko's return before her.
"Luckily, your Uncle Hamman let me go. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to come and join you if he had chased me like that." She said with a smile, "Little Ronya, I wonder what kind of magic your brave bloodline possesses?"
Meiko Anten asked purely out of curiosity. After all, although she had once fantasized about traveling to another world and becoming the protagonist, she would show a childlike curiosity when she heard news related to the hero.
"Uncle Harman told you."
Seeing Anten Meiko nod in agreement, Ronia finally spoke out words that stunned both of them: "The magic I possess is mind reading."
The person who was most surprised by this was Beth, who knew a thing or two about this.
The demons have been fighting against various superpowers for countless years, so they have more or less a lot of information about them. This information will be passed on to every demon through the education of their offspring.
The Kingdom of Potter is the superpower with the shortest existence. It is a hereditary country founded by the first generation of brave men, so every king of this country is a descendant of a brave man.
But the bloodline of the brave is different. Only a few extremely brave descendants have the possibility of awakening the blood of the brave and mastering the abilities that the brave once possessed.
There is an unwritten rule that those who have awakened the blood of the brave will be designated as the king of the Potter Kingdom at birth.
Beth didn't expect that Ronia not only awakened the blood of the brave, but also mastered the most rare and unique mind-reading magic.
Volume 7: A Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 78: The Chamber of Commerce Commission
In the following days, many people from Porter City were sent to the forest to track the whereabouts of Ando Meiko and others, but their search was ineffective.
The reason is not only because the forest is too vast, but also because Haman is obstructing and delaying the progress of the search.
But more importantly, Ando Meiko and the other two spent all their time on the road except for eating and sleeping. They had to reach the next city before the news spread completely, so that they would not be discovered and hunted before entering the city.
What they called hurrying was not as simple as running and stopping. After escaping the detection range of the guards, Ando Meiko directly used the four-time copy magic of the domain to copy the enhanced outer garment, consuming a large amount of magic power to fly low over the treetops.
Each copied enhanced exterior can last for one hour, and Ando Meiko's total magic power and magic power recovery speed are more than enough to support four hours of uninterrupted flight without fighting.
It just takes off at 8 o'clock, eats and rests at 12 o'clock to wait for the cooldown of the field copy magic, takes off again at 2 o'clock, eats and rests at 6 o'clock, then flies for a while and goes to bed at 11 o'clock.
This kind of work-like life is quite regular, but what surprised Ando Meiko the most was that neither Beth nor Ronya had any complaints.
Even though the flight was very boring, they endured and persevered.
There is no need to find a passable path when flying, so Ando Meiko kept moving in a straight line. In addition, her speed was faster than the magic car, so she crossed the entire forest in five days and arrived at the city territory of one of the marquis of the Potter Kingdom.
They made a good decision and were also very lucky, because although the Potter Kingdom is famous for its magical technology, they have not yet developed a means of ultra-long-distance communication.
Therefore, the news that Ando Meiko and others were causing trouble in the imperial city was still on the way and had not spread to all parts of the country, and they were able to successfully sneak into the city.
When she arrived in the city, the first thing Ando Meiko did was to run to the Adventurer's Guild to inquire about information. What surprised her was that the Adventurer's Guild had already received the news of the Imperial City, but did not spread it out at the first time.
She naturally didn't know that the Adventurer's Guild was recognized by all countries as an absolutely neutral organization that would not favor any country.
Unless the country personally issues a task to the guild, such as posting a wanted order for Ando Meiko on the commission list.
However, she managed to sneak into the imperial city alone, evade countless spies, break into the palace and steal the treasures from the treasury. Even when she was hunted by Potter's ace troops and even the commander of the strongest legion in the country, Harman, attacked her, she still managed to leave safely.
This is a glorious deed of Ando Meiko, but it is an extreme insult to the Kingdom of Potter. Therefore, in order to preserve its reputation, the emperor naturally would not issue a commission in the Adventurer's Guild, because it is equivalent to announcing the scandal of his own country to the world. Of course, the same was true of the former Kingdom of Lance.
Who made it so unfortunate that these two countries were stuck in the vitals because of Ando Meiko's actions?
Of course, truth will come to light. Every incident was witnessed by countless people, and the news would spread quickly. The actions of the two leaders were just to delay for a while for the sake of their own reputation.
After taking a commission from the Adventurer's Guild, Meiko Ando rented a large room in the hotel for Beth and Ronia to rest first, and then she went to another place.
"It should be here." Beth translated the contents of the commission for her. Although she herself could not understand what was written, she could compare them with the large symbols on it.
This is the logo of a chamber of commerce in this city, and this chamber of commerce is recruiting adventurers to carry out escort missions. Because it has just been announced and the price is a bit low, no one is interested yet.
The reason why Ando Meiko took on this commission was not because of the price, but because the destination of this caravan was where Ando Meiko planned to go... the Church.
The main door of the Chamber of Commerce was wide open, but no one was seen inside or outside. Ando Meiko took a few glances and asked, "Hello, is anyone there?"
Soon after she said this, a sixty-year-old man came out from under the desk, holding up his glasses and looking up and down at the plump, pretty and lovely young girl in front of him.
Although he was surprised by the girl's figure and appearance, the old man, in keeping with his professionalism as a businessman, turned his gaze to the account book in his hand and asked casually, "Well, what can I do for you? Are you looking for a job at our Chamber of Commerce?"
After saying that, he picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip of water.
"I came here to receive a mutual transport commission, the one to the Church." Meiko Ando answered truthfully.
This sentence scared the old man so much that he spit out the tea on the spot. Then he found that the account book in his hand was soaked. He stood up with a "wow" and wiped the tea stains off the account book with his hands and feet.
"Hey, little sister, you have to draft even a joke. You are just a teenager and you have nothing better to do than to learn how to take on commissions from others. Go away and don't disturb me while I am doing business." The old man's mood became much worse after something happened to the account book, and he immediately started to drive people away.
Being looked down upon by others was not the first or second time, Ando Meiko naturally did not take the old man's attitude too seriously. She did not refute him at the moment, but took out her Adventurer's Guild ID card and placed it on the table and pushed it over.
"What's wrong again? I'm not talking about you..." The old man, noticing the girl's little movements and becoming impatient, wanted to scold her, but when he saw what was written on the ID card, his eyes widened and his whole body trembled.
"Yes, I'm sorry. I, I, I didn't know you were an adamantine-level adventurer. I was blind and wanted to drive you away. It's my fault."
The old man's attitude changed 180 degrees. While apologizing, he stretched out his hand to slap himself twice, but was stopped by Ando Meiko.
"Okay, I'm not the type to care about these things. Now, can we talk about the content of the commission?"
"Yes, of course. Lady Ruby, please follow me. I will take you to see the person in charge now." The old man rubbed his hands and showed a flattering attitude.
He asked a clerk who was moving goods outside to look after the store first, and he personally took Ando Meiko into the inner door of the Chamber of Commerce and went all the way to the top third floor.
The old man straightened his appearance, cleared his throat, and knocked on the door. "It's me, Miss. Someone has accepted the commission we posted today."
"So soon? Then bring her in."
Volume 7: A Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 79: Chamber of Commerce Branch President
The sound coming from inside the door was soft and pleasant, as touching as the sound of nature.
Because of her special identity, Meiko Anten has seen countless beauties, but this is the first time she has heard such a beautiful voice.
When the old man slowly pushed the door open, the girl's true face finally appeared in front of Anten Meiko.
The girl has a very pure Western face, with blonde hair, blue eyes, bright eyes, white teeth, and skin as white as jade. The reflection of the sunlight casts a gorgeous golden halo, which is very beautiful.
Although she frowned slightly, her manners were elegant, and every movement revealed her innate noble temperament. She was like a princess walking out of the phone, possessing bewitching beauty and purity.
"This is Melinda, the branch president of our Tiandi Chamber of Commerce. Lady Melinda, this is Miss Ruby, the adamantium-level adventurer who has accepted our commission."
The branch president was a little skeptical when she saw that the person who came in was a young and beautiful woman. However, when she heard the word "Adamantium level", she immediately raised her head and her green eyes shone with brilliance.
But her expression was still a little confused. She felt very strange, wondering why a platinum-level adventurer would choose to take on this task with obviously not much reward.
She glanced at the old man and motioned him to go out first. The old man understood Melinda's eyes, bowed to her, and left the room.
Melinda didn't hide her doubts, but asked directly: "Why did you take this mission? The commission I offered wouldn't even be worth the price of a white bronze-level adventurer."
Hearing this, An Teng Meizi couldn't help but laugh and jokingly said, "Do you also know that the money you gave is too little?"
Melinda was so embarrassed by this retort that she couldn't refute it. She explained with an embarrassed expression, "We purchased a large quantity of certain goods and planned to sell them in the Theocracy. However, with the recent surge in magical beasts, the goods have been put on hold. We can't afford to spend much, so we can only try our luck by placing a low-price commission."
From her tone, An Teng Meizi could hear the helplessness. This approach could only benefit some adventurers who were short of money or had to go to the Church for something.
But since adventurers are already short of money, how could they possibly take on such a long and boring commission? It would be better for them to hunt monsters in the surrounding area to supplement their family income.
As for the latter, it is even more difficult. Adventurers in each town basically carry out activities in the local area. They are very familiar with various local resources and generally will not leave easily, let alone cross borders.
This is not like the online taxi driver in the world of Anten Meiko, who wants to do a business while going home and then take an order to go home.
Meiko Anten didn't expect that it would be such a coincidence that someone would post a cross-border escort commission, and Melinda didn't expect that there would actually be an adventurer who would take it up, and accept it as soon as it was posted.
"The reason we accepted your Chamber of Commerce's commission is very simple. We wanted to go to the Theocracy for something, and we happened to come across your commission while gathering intelligence at the guild. Anyway, we can earn some money on the way."
Hearing the word "we," Melinda raised her eyebrows slightly: "Oh? Do you have other companions?"
Meiko Anten nodded in confirmation. Beth would be coming with them anyway, so she didn't hide it. "We are companions in the same adventure group, and she is also adamantium-level."
Upon hearing this revelation, Melinda immediately stood up and pulled out a yellowed piece of animal skin from a drawer. "Sign it! Give me your adventurer ID card and I'll register it for you."
"Okay." This win-win situation had been encountered by An Teng Meizi when she went to Shahai City, so she was already familiar with it.
Businessmen who can make it out of the Chamber of Commerce are basically seasoned people who are extremely concerned about profits, but they also pay more attention to integrity than ordinary people, because integrity is what matters in doing business.
Meiko Anten took out her ID card and handed it to Melinda. The young branch president took the ID card and looked at it. When he saw that it really said Platinum Level, he felt relieved.
He immediately wrote down some of Ruby's information on the document and asked her to sign it personally, and of course, he also asked Beth, who came with him, to sign on his behalf.
Meiko Anten couldn't understand the words on the contract, but she had seen Beth write her own name and her name before, so she memorized the way it was written.
"By the way, I will bring my sister with me. She is just an ordinary person, but don't worry, her safety will be left to us."
"It's okay. I'm looking forward to your visit tomorrow morning." Melinda watched Anten Meiko leave, picked up the power of attorney document in her hand, and a touching smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"I've taken the bait, Ruby and Beth. I'm really looking forward to seeing what exciting things you can bring me."
Back at the hotel, I saw Ronia, Guilty, and Beth were still awake, so Anten Meiko immediately told them the news.
"Sister, are we going to the Theocracy for fun? That's great! We can finally leave this country." A look of longing appeared on Ronia's cute face.
Having awakened the blood of a hero, she is like a canary in a cage, having never truly left the cage since birth.
In particular, she has the ability to "read minds" and is very sensitive to the warmth and coldness of the world and the ways of the world, so she was so excited after meeting Anten Meiko, an outsider with a pure heart.
And now, with the help of Meiko Anten, she has broken free from the heavy restraints and gained the freedom she has longed for. How can she not be excited?
"Yes, but we are not going there to play." An Teng Meizi smiled and stroked Ronia's little head, but she had other thoughts in her mind.
But it's not a bad idea to take her out for a walk, just to collect information.
What she didn't see was that after the thought came to her mind, the smile on little Ronya's face, who was enjoying her touch, became even brighter.
"By the way, Beth, I need you to translate some stuff for me. It's a bit long and the encryption is quite troublesome."
"If you don't understand anything, just ask me. I will help you solve it no matter how troublesome it is." Bei said nonchalantly.
Ronia, who was sandwiched in the middle, looked at Beth and then at Anten Meiko. She seemed to read a special emotion from Beth's heart. It was a feeling she had never encountered before and something she didn't understand at all.
