Chapter 86 Chapter 4 The Dragon and the Golden Flower (Part 2)
“Why? Isn’t she here?”
Verafia raised her youthful little face and asked with some confusion.
“That’s not it. I passed by Rubiel City last month on my way to the kingdom’s border, and I heard she was about to return to Lansiat from the Royal Capital. However, a few days ago, when I was shopping with you, I gathered some information at a tavern.”
Igett shook his head and smiled as he said.
“Although Miss Aixi has returned to Rubiel City, Miss Golden Flower is in a panic because of the emergence of the ‘Bloodwind Blade’ bandit group in the surrounding areas.”
“I think she is probably leading the knights and hunting these bandits everywhere now.”
“Bloodwind Blade… What is that?”
As the girl asked a series of questions, Igett was about to reply, but he suddenly saw Verafia’s little face freeze with an expression, and his heart tightened, so he quickly asked.
“Did something happen, Young Lady?”
Hearing Igett’s voice, Verafia shook her head slightly, and after a while, she slightly raised her eyes and let out a crisp voice.
“It’s nothing, probably some humans, and a familiar aura, hmm… Why did she come out too? Igett, let’s go! Let’s go take a look!”
The girl’s eyes spun in her beautiful big eyes, and she suddenly grabbed the young man’s wrist with her fair little hand and pulled him towards one side.
Igett was caught off guard and was pulled up, quickly catching up with the girl’s pace.
“We’re here.”
The forest trail was not long. Verafia pushed aside the lush branches and leaves of the bushes in front of her, turned her cheek to Igett, and called softly before lowering her head to examine the aura she had sensed earlier.
The fierce bandits had already drawn their swords, and their greedy eyes appeared bloody and sharp.
Encircl ed by them, a beautiful girl with a tall and graceful figure, as if made of ice and frost, bit her lip tightly, her jade-like face filled with anger but helplessness.
“Why does the aura of that person appear on these bandits… Hmm, and, isn’t that the Little Princess of the Ganhoya family? Why did she come here too? Is she seeking revenge on me…”
Verafia muttered, her slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and her big eyes sized up the ice dragon girl surrounded by a group of bandits.
“However, with her strength, how could she be surrounded by this group of trash? Is she plotting something… Wait, why did she find me too!”
Verafia pondered with her golden eyes lowered, and suddenly she saw the girl seem to have noticed something, and her crystal-like beautiful ice-blue eyes and slightly moving red lips seemed about to speak.
“It’s you! Phoe…”
Verafia exclaimed “Not good” in her heart, and without any hesitation, she grabbed Igett and turned to run.
An anxious color appeared in the girl’s frost-blue eyes, and she was ready to chase after them.
“What wind? You’re the only one within a ten-mile radius. Miss, this trick of yours won’t work.”
Suddenly, a bloody sword edge appeared in front of her. The bandit leader whistled frivolously.
“Lady of a noble family, we’ve agreed. If you want to pass, hand over your bracelet and all your gold coins first. Of course, if you’re not willing, you can also take off your clothes. I think my brothers will definitely not object!”
The other bandits also burst into laughter.
The girl angrily turned her ice-blue pupils, and her cheeks flushed with anger. But looking at these detestable humans approaching her, she didn’t know what to do.
“Wuwu… You guys get out of the way quickly!”
The ice dragon girl’s clear scolding fell into the ears of the bandits, but they only saw her as feigning ferocity, and with a mocking smile on their faces, they took a step closer.
Ophi subconsciously took a step back.
The bandits did not yield and pressed forward step by step, enjoying the frightened expression on the girl’s face.
The girl bit her white teeth tightly, her eyes filled with anger, looking at the bandits who were pressing towards her, her tall and graceful delicate body retreated step by step.
Ophi remembered that before leaving, her sister had reminded her several times that the human world was not the Dragon King’s territory where she grew up, and not to easily conflict with humans unless necessary.
She also did not forget how she was bullied by that hateful phoenix, so since leaving the Sunset Forest, she had behaved herself, and they had been safe along the way. Even some conflicts were settled with just gold and silver.
But, these persistent hateful guys in front of her… What should I do, what should I do!
Ophi was so anxious that she was about to cry. If she really fought them, these small humans would definitely not be able to withstand even a slight overflow of aura, and it would definitely attract the attention of other humans…
Of course, the interesting game of cat and mouse, as seen by the bandits, did not last long. Soon, the ice dragon girl was forced to a large tree, surrounded by greedy and fierce bandits.
“Wuwu, you guys, don’t force me.”
Ophi found that she had nowhere to retreat. She suddenly stomped her feet under her long boots, bit her silver teeth hard, and condensed a magnificent ice crystal dragon spear with cold frost-blue energy in her hand, trying to scare away the humans.
However, the girl’s voice was met with a burst of laughter from the bandits. A sharp-eyed bandit raised the tip of his sword and pointed at the girl.
“Boss, look! The gun in this noble girl’s hand… what a gorgeous weapon, even the material is precious frost. I guess this is at least a magic spear worth a hundred gold coins!”
The bandits’ eyes were filled with greed, and they let out a fierce roar, raised their long sabers, and rushed towards the girl, who in their eyes was trembling with fear.
“Gathering light before the murderous blade! Divine Word: Shelter.”
Suddenly, a clear girl’s voice appeared in the air. Before the bandit leader’s bloody saber could strike the light condensed from the Holy Light Power, the seemingly thin golden shield was as hard as steel against the fierce slashing, not even a ripple was stirred.
“This…”
A few rays of soft light shone on the ice dragon girl’s face, which was very comfortable and warm. Ophi hesitated for a moment, then slightly relaxed her grip on the dragon spear, and looked sideways with her frost-ice pupils.
As the morning light shone, a beautiful girl’s figure revealed herself. The gentle breeze touched the pale gold sunlight, and her waist-length hair, as if cast in gold, cascaded down.
Under the girl’s armor, the hem of her pure white skirt was slightly lifted by the wind, and under the light, it outlined the girl’s slender and graceful figure to perfection.
“This human… she doesn’t seem unpleasant. Who is she?”
A hint of doubt arose in Ophi’s heart, and she opened her big eyes curiously, looking at the girl who had come to her rescue.
The Knight Girl slightly raised her exquisite face. In the reflection of the morning light and the surrounding holy light, she appeared even more flawless and sacred. A pair of water-blue pupils looked towards the group of bandits who had drawn their swords and were surrounding Ophi.
