“Is he dead?”
Count Evan stowed his magic staff and asked with a sigh of relief.
This second son of the St. Prowse family was also a mage!
However, Anna still had a grim expression on her face.
Because she could feel the giant hand clutching her waist was not showing any signs of loosening!
Just as she was preparing to warn her brother, the giant black wings on the back of the giant before her suddenly stretched out.
The intricate arcane blood patterns all over his body suddenly bloomed with crimson light, as if some ancient magic array was activated at this moment.
Anna let out a painful scream because Colin’s giant hand not only didn’t loosen, but it suddenly tightened its hold.
Crack!
Anna felt that more than half of her ribs were broken.
“Wait! Please wait!” Seeing the bad signs, Count Evan hurriedly shouted, “We are the direct descendants of the St. Prowse family, sir, surely you don’t want to be stained with the blood of a member of the Holy Knight family?”
Crack!
Anna let out another miserable scream; a few more of her ribs were crushed.
Obviously, the name of the St. Prowse family was of no use here.
“No, no, no!” Count Evan hastily pleaded, “We really have no intention of being your enemy! Please, tell us what we can do to spare my sister’s life!”
It was only then that Colin stopped squeezing further. While using one hand to pull out the short sword on his head, he asked, “What can you give me?”
Count Evan saw that the person in front of him was pulling out the short sword from his head as though it was nothing, he cursed him internally as a freak, but he sincerely said:
“How about this, I will tell you a secret to exchange for my sister’s life.”
“Let’s hear it.” “You must be a powerful druid, right?”
Colin didn’t answer.
Count Evan managed a nervous laugh and continued, “I know the whereabouts of the holy artifact of druids in the legends — Heart of the Wild. Is this secret enough to trade for my sister’s life?” Druid?
Colin was momentarily stunned.
He didn’t expect that his current transformed state was mistaken by the other party as a druid.
The profession of a druid was exclusive to the elves, but it had disappeared thousands of years ago.
Even the elves, who retreated to the Bright Moon Forest, lost the successors of this profession long ago.
Legend has it that druids can mimic various animal forms to gain some of their characteristics and power.
Therefore, the bat wings behind Colin made the other party mistake him for a druid.
Colin suddenly felt that such a misunderstanding was not necessarily a bad thing.
It’s better than being treated as a monster, or a devil.
So Colin pretended to be eager and asked, “Well then, where exactly is the Heart of the Wild?”
Count Evan coughed lightly and said, “It is in the Arcane City – Yevir.”
Colin blinked and shook his head, “How do I know you’re not lying to me?”
Count Evan seemed to have everything in place, he pointed to Vera who was still hiding in the garden, and declared loudly, “That is Miss Vera over there, and I am Evan Sanctus, I wonder if you still remember me?”
Colin raised an eyebrow; this Evan could actually recognize Vera at first glance.
However, he quickly realized that this guy was also a mage, so he must have seen Vera in Yevir.
“Good to see you, Count Evan, of course I remember you,” Vera came out timidly.
Colin’s giant and unusual body made her feel afraid.
“Ha, it’s really you! I didn’t expect Miss Vera to be still alive! Heh heh, the situation in Silver Moon City is getting more interesting…”
“Ah!!!” Anna’s scream interrupted Count Evan’s exclamation.
“No, no, no!” Count Evan didn’t dare to waste any more time and asked Vera urgently, “Miss Vera, you should have heard of the Heart of the Wild in Yevir Tower as well. It’s a treasured item of the Elder of the Mage Council!”
Vera nodded, “Yes.”
“See, I wasn’t lying to you! Can you release my sister now?”
But Colin shook his head. The news, to be honest, was of no use to him at all.
“Just such a piece of news, and not the actual Heart of the Wild, and you want to exchange your sister for it? Hehe, when did the life of the direct members of the St. Prowse Family become so worthless?”
Hearing what Colin said, Count Evan actually agreed and said, “Yes, yes! When did the St. Prowse Family become so cheap! Whatever else you need, just say it!”
Seeing the other party’s robust manner, Colin suddenly felt a wish to butcher a wealthy dog-like enemy, “Have money?”
“Money?” Count Evan was stunned. He didn’t expect the other party to directly ask for money.
He checked his wallet and reluctantly said, “I didn’t bring much money with me this time, probably just a few hundred gold coins.”
“That’s fine…” Colin was prepared to agree.
He didn’t actually plan to kill this woman from the St. Prowse Family because it would thoroughly infuriate the Eastern Frontier.
The St. Prowse Family might even use this as an excuse to send troops to Silver Moon City, bringing significant uncertainty to Colin’s plan to control the Half-Elf Kingdom.
It was unwise to create complications at this point.
“No!” Unexpectedly, Count Evan shook his head and said righteously, “Just a few hundred gold coins, they are not worth the dignity of our St. Prowse family!”
” …” Colin.
“…” Anna just wanted to punch her unreliable older brother.
“Or, how about this? In addition to it, I will give you this magic staff as a ransom for my sister. What do you think?”
Looking at the large purple magic crystal embedded at the tip of the magic staff, Colin asked curiously, “How much is this staff worth?”
“Probably… one hundred thousand gold coins.”
Colin’s eyes immediately popped out. This was his first time coming across such a spendthrift.
“Alright, it’s a deal.”
“Good!” Count Evan immediately threw the magic staff to Colin, seemingly not afraid of him going back on his word.
Seeing the other party’s composure, Colin also felt embarrassed to back out
and released Anna.
“Get out of Silver Moon City immediately, and if I ever see you two in the city again, hmph, I will decapitate you!”
“Okay! We will leave immediately!” Count Evan helped his sister up, pulled Knight Omar who was collapsed against the wall, and hurriedly bid farewell and left.
Once they were gone, Colin flapped his bat wings and ascended into the sky.
His speed was extremely fast, and he disappeared into the black night sky in the blink of an eye.
“Miss Vera, we should hurry up and leave too!”
“Alright.” Vera nodded in agreement, but was somewhat confused, “Why would that strange man help us just now?”
“I don’t know.” Queen Isa shook her head, telling a small lie.
In fact, she had already sensed Colin’s identity based on the mysterious connection coming from deep within her bloodline, but she didn’t tell Vera.
“Where are we going now?” “To the Miller family.”
“The Miller family?” Vera hesitated.
Queen Isa smiled and explained, “To the Miller family, you are now a lifesaving straw. As long as you are alive and well, the Miller family will not be accused of killing you.
Therefore, they are currently the people in Silver Moon City who least want you to be harmed!”
Vera finally understood but thought of Colin, who had orchestrated everything, and couldn’t help asking, “What about Colin? Where is he now?”
“Viscount Angler will soon meet up with you.”
“That’s good..”
