Symphony for the Insect Princess

According to information I've heard from my father and his confidants, every counterfeit item, after being compared with magic marks, will reveal a letter that serves as a serial number. This is the mark left by the Sage of Craftsman. However, this great secret treasure in front of me has no mark, which means it's either uninspected or "authentic." If it leaked from the investigation team, it must have been inspected. If it were authentic, it wouldn't have leaked. Which means... could someone in the City Lord's Mansion have done this?

"...Hey, Nairis."

"Ok?"

"Do you want the great secret treasure?"

"How is that possible! I...keeping something like this will only bring disaster!"

"I think so, so there's only one thing we can do, right?"

"How to do?"

"Leave it to me. I'll deliberately place it in a place where it's easy for my father's men to find it, then erase all traces and let them 'happen to find' it. It's that simple."

"Miss...Okay, please!"

Perhaps because she finally felt at ease, the maid suddenly rushed forward, tightly grasped Aisia's hand, and burst into tears.

Aisia's body froze. She hesitated for a few seconds before slowly applying the same force on her hand and responding to her.

At this moment, Aisia suddenly felt from the bottom of her heart that it was such a pity that she couldn't hug anyone.

……

……

But she didn't notice.

Just when her attention was focused on Nairis, at the door of the room,

The door was quietly opened a crack, and a figure with golden-gray hair and wearing a butler's uniform flashed by.

----------------

The next day—

"A barrier to maintain respectability, a tool for satisfying desires, a boring substitute"

——This is probably Saenris’ impression of this woman.

"Hmm...ah...Master..."

The big boss of an underground drug trafficking gang, out of fear of herself, offered up her only daughter, thus facilitating this second marriage.

“Master…Master…Master!!!”

Having a good-looking appearance, a timid character, and childish innocence, no matter which one, is extremely boring.

“Ah…Ahhhhhhhh…Eaaaaaaaaah!!!”

It was a mechanical movement. Although I was too lazy to be gentle with women, I had to restrain myself deliberately.

“Haaa…haaa…ah…”

The woman, Luna, collapsed limply onto the bed, her entire body limp as if she had collapsed. Her pupils rolled slightly upward, her eyes hazy, and her body drenched in sweat and other bodily fluids. Sarnris was a great war spirit, his physical strength far exceeding human limits. If he hadn't deliberately restrained his power, even a simple act would have ripped Luna apart.

Saenris did not stay in this peaceful place for long. He quickly stood up from the bed, released a little magic power to evaporate the dirty body fluids on his body, then put on his clothes swiftly without even looking at Luna again.

To him, this second wife was of only this much value. If her body was not really worth enjoying, he would not even bother to pay attention to her.

A thousand of her are not worth a hair of my daughter, and ten thousand of her are not worth a nail of my ex-wife.

"master……"

Ignoring the gentle call from behind, he put on his clothes and walked out of the room.

"Lord City Lord! I've discovered something incredible!"

——Then he bumped into the panicked Flynn.

--------------

At the same time, in Kasol City——

"Ahh...why do we have to..."

Erwin muttered quietly, and Shul quickly poked him in the side, signaling him not to be so loud.

In fact, there was no need for Shule to remind him. The silent pressure in the air made Erwin shut up.

This is not what they imagined.

As an additional fighting force, Mr. Rodrigo was half-forced to join the investigation team of the Tower of Babel.

Consequently, the students themselves were also included. Only Shul was a senior magician, while the others were intermediate magicians. Even those who had been in the ivory tower for a long time realized that for the investigation team, they were nothing more than meat shields and cannon fodder, joined as consumables.

Walking down the streets of Kasol, Grand Mage Glory led the group, Mage Ailian served as deputy leader, and the others, all experienced senior magicians, were serious-minded, exuding a silent sense of pressure. They walked at the end of the group, along with the four girls. Rodrigo, seemingly tasked with guarding against any unforeseen events from behind, walked at the very back.

This is completely different from the heroic adventure stories that boys long for.

"Can we really find the great secret treasure this way..."

"I told you to keep your voice down."

At some point, Rodrigo came to them.

"teacher……"

"what should we do……"

"What else can I do? I'll just follow them," Rodrigo said with a wry smile. "There's nothing I can do about it. But don't worry, you're my students. It's my duty to protect you."

That is, at the same time,

"Look, that's——"

Suddenly someone in the team shouted, pointing to the distance—

Two huge golems suddenly appeared in the sky above the outskirts of Kasol.

Chapter 52 In the Sewer

"Look, that's——"

Suddenly someone in the team shouted, pointing to the distance—

Two huge golems suddenly appeared in the sky above the outskirts of Kasolu. One was covered in silver and wore a mask, like a gladiator, holding a long sword in each hand; and the other golem was also silver, but it was a glittering bright silver, in the shape of a knight in heavy armor, and in his hand was not a sword, but a huge cross!

Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble! ! ! !

From that moment on, a roar like the raging waves of a sea of ​​evil resounded throughout most of the city. It was the sound of the ultra-dense magic power emitted by the two golems colliding and corroding each other! The bone-chilling chill, the terrifying pressure, the soaring fighting spirit... everything converged into a mad torrent, bringing everyone involved to the brink of shock!

This extremely terrifying aura further illustrates the seriousness of the situation. There is no doubt that this is a confrontation between two great war spirits, and both of them are releasing their power without reservation!

"That is……"

"Sacco and the Golem of Saint Anthony!? They're crazy!"

Glory looked up at the sky and shouted, her hands clenched into fists, a mixture of surprise and impatience on her wrinkled face.

At this time, the two golems moved.

First came Sarko's golem. Initially, when it appeared in the square, Sarko had been somewhat reserved, the golem only about ten meters tall. But this time, the golem reached a full thirty meters, every detail imbued with an oppressive presence! Its agility belied its massive size. Its nearly twenty-meter-long sword sliced ​​through the air, creating a gust of wind that instantly blew away all surrounding debris. Sweeping with destructive magical fluctuations, it struck Saint Anthony's golem at an extremely tricky angle!

when! ! ! ! !

The longsword and the massive cross held by the Anthony Golem collided fiercely, sending sparks of magical energy blazing from the intersection. However, the stalemate didn't last long. Crosses appeared from thin air, raining down upon the Sarco Golem incessantly! The latter immediately distanced itself and swung its swords. Though its movements were as violent as a storm, the dancing blades seemed as light as feathers, forming an impenetrable defense that blasted away the rain of crosses!

"Here, this way—"

"Run!!!!"

“Uooa ...

But the people on the ground weren't so lucky. The slashing winds unleashed by the Sarco Golem and the scattered crosses affected everyone nearby! Cracks easily devoured the earth, and each cross shattered a massive crater tens of meters in diameter. The center of the confrontation was like a tornado, a shattering mess!

Amidst this chaos, the two golems continued to collide! Sarco's swordsmanship grew faster and faster, leaving behind dazzling afterimages. Every swing of his blade caused the air to tremble violently—but every blow was blocked by Anthony's golem! The massive cross, less a blunt weapon than a fortress wall, moved only the smallest amount each time, always managing to block the super-fast combo of the two swords. Meanwhile, smaller crosses continued to spawn, pelting Sarco with blows!

Everyone who was farther away was stunned. Qiumila, who was at the end of the team, opened her mouth wide, Clara was shaking with fear, and the boys all had expressions of fear and longing on their faces.

At the front of the team, Glory let out a fierce click of the tongue - it was one thing for the young man Saccona, but even the usually calm Saint Anthony had fallen out. It must be that the Knights' Lord and the Pantheon's investigation team discovered the great treasure at the same time and fought over it, and it might be the real thing!

"Lady Glory, should we..." Ailian asked.

"What should I do? Need I say more? I can only go for it!"

Glory suddenly raised her hand, and a gust of cold air burst out from her palm! The icy magic power flew over dozens of houses like a giant bird, and the next moment, all of them were covered with a thick layer of frost!

"Han Chen!"

boom! ! ! ! !

Dozens of houses collapsed, turning into sand-like shards of ice! After forging a path with the most domineering method, the overflowing cold air once again returned to Glory, enveloping her! In the pervasive cold air, Glory's body turned to ice and snow, then dissipated into the air!

"Lord Glory..."

Several senior magicians were about to follow, but were immediately stopped by Ailian.

"If you don't want to die, don't go there. Do you want to turn into an ice sculpture?"

"but--"

"If we were to intervene in the battle between the two war spirits that have manifested golems, Lady Glory would undoubtedly use her 'territory'. Going there now would only hinder her. What we need to do now is seal off the surrounding area and be on high alert for any unforeseen events!"

““““Yes, sir!””””

"And you, Rodrigo—"

Ailian was about to assign a task to Rodrigo and his group, but she discovered...

Just when everyone's attention was focused on the two golems, the group at the end of the team had disappeared without a trace.

----------------

"Oooooh, that stinks!"

“It’s so stuffy and wet!”

"Walk slower... haah... haah... please..."

"Stop complaining and speed up!"

In the dark sewer, Rodrigo and the boys and girls were hurrying along. Rodrigo was leading the way in front. He had been casting spells, turning the dirty ground of the sewer into green grass. Broad-leaved plants also grew on the grass to block the sewage dripping from it.

Rodrigo, who was used to staying in the academy, couldn't stand the filth and stench of the sewer. If he hadn't been making plants, everyone in the group would probably be covered in filth.

Even so, the pungent stench was still unbearable.

"How long will it take..."

"It's almost there! I secretly got a map of the Kasolu sewers. Just be patient. This is the only way to escape from the Tower of Babel! We only have one chance!"

"But how far do we have to flee?"

"Until it's safe enough! That girl called Ailian probably hasn't noticed that I stuck some 'grass seeds' on her clothes. I can use them to roughly estimate her distance!"

"Where is she?"

"It's barely moving from where it was! We still have a good chance!"

Hearing this, everyone was excited. The Kokorokokoa sisters cheered softly. Shule, Erwin, and Carlo sped up. Clara breathed a sigh of relief. Only -

"What's wrong, Chimila-chan? Are you feeling unwell?"

“…No, I just…”

Qiumila trotted with her skirt lifted up. Her movements were a little funny, but she was surprisingly agile.

She frowned, looking at the people running in front of her, and then looked up at the dirty top of the sewer.

"I feel terrible... I have a bad feeling..."

"!?"

Clara was also shocked when she heard Qiumila say this. After spending these few days together, she knew very well that Qiumila had an inexplicable sharp intuition. If she had a bad premonition, then there was a high probability that there would be real danger!

"what happened?"

"I can't explain it clearly, but... no matter where we're going or where we're coming from, it's not good..."

at this time--

"A mob is indeed a mob. They want to run away when they see danger?"

A cold female voice suddenly came from behind. Everyone was startled and turned around to look -

Ailian emerged from the shadows and looked at them coldly.
