Chapter 1499: Chapter 936: Maria’s Dream (Part 1)
"Your Majesty! Have you forgotten the glory of the empire? Please reconsider our proposal!"
In a simple wooden cabin, two disheveled white-haired nobles are kneeling on the ground, their expressions filled with earnest pleading.
"Please reconsider our proposal!"
Behind them, several hooded knights kneel on one knee, their voices synchronized.
Inside, a beautiful golden-haired, blue-eyed girl sits at the wooden table.
She looks at the kneeling crowd, one hand lazily supporting her head, the other playing with her golden beautiful long hair, her expression detached yet helpless.
"Sorry, Lord Rosen... Lord Borrenzia, I am quite satisfied with the current situation, let’s not bring up that title again in the future."
The girl shakes her head and says.
After speaking, she stands up from the chair and says to them:
"I don’t know how you found me here, but... this is the last time. Don’t let me see you again, otherwise... don’t blame me for being ruthless; don’t forget who my teacher is."
"You should go, I’m heading out now, don’t disrupt my life anymore."
The girl issues an order to leave.
"Your Majesty!"
The two old nobles repeat once more, their expressions begging.
Looking at their stubborn demeanor, the girl’s emerald eyes slightly shift upwards, and she rolls her eyes.
She rubs her temples, smoothing out her golden beautiful long hair, and sighs:
"I’ll say it one last time, please leave here."
With that, she gets up and walks towards the door.
"Your Majesty! Are you willing to be recorded in history as the incompetent and tragic fallen ruler Maria? Have you... forgotten the glory of the Treis Family? Are you willing to be a wandering mage, allowing the nobles of the empire to be oppressed by those ignorant commoners?"
The disheveled nobles and knights reposition themselves, blocking her path, speaking again with sorrow.
Upon hearing their words, the girl’s expression instantly cools down.
Her gaze sweeps over the kneeling nobles and knights, she sneers, extending her fair arm:
"I’ll count to three... if you don’t leave, I’ll take action."
"One..."
"Two..."
"Three..."
"..."
The girl coldly recites the numbers.
Yet, the people kneeling remain motionless.
Seeing the motionless nobles and knights, a flicker of disgust passes through the girl’s eyes.
She snorts coldly, powerful magic power gathers around her, the turbulent magic transforms into wind blades, raging inside the hut.
In an instant, a furious wind arises, sharper than knives, wind blades fly toward the obstructing nobles and knights, tearing their clothes, leaving bloody scars on their cheeks.
Feeling the sting on their faces and the astonishing magic power, the kneeling disheveled nobles lift their heads in terror.
They look at the girl with a burst of magic power and the increasingly terrifying wind blades in the air, scared out of their wits, scrambling and stumbling out of the hut...
"Hmph, a group of ambitious, selfish cowards... pathetic creatures without even a silver coin, do they still think I’m the puppet to be manipulated as I was before?"
Watching the quick escape of the group, the girl says disdainfully.
Then, she sighs:
"These haunting souls... since they found my residence, they surely won’t give up."
"It seems it’s time for me to relocate again, isn’t it?"
With a gentle sigh, she looks somewhat reluctantly at the small yet exquisite wooden hut, beginning to pack her belongings.
The luggage to be carried is not much.
As a Silver Upper Great Mage who often relocates, the girl possesses a high-level storage ring that many spellcasters dream of.
All kinds of luggage are stuffed into the storage ring; she truly needs to carry with her only some particularly light clothes and provisions specifically chosen to conceal the existence of storage equipment.
No choice, though this storage equipment is very convenient, if too ostentatious, it can also bring trouble.
And this began ten years ago.
Since the revolution that changed the history of Seggs ten years ago, the magic power concentration of the Origin World, which merged with the World Tree, has long been transformed.
Once revered Silver Professional individuals, now even looking across the continent are no more than moderately stronger Transcendents.
However, although the extraordinary power of the whole continent has greatly changed, the growth of extraordinary equipment has somewhat lagged behind the growth of Transcendent numbers.
Already scarce storage equipment is now relatively even more scarce...
Especially as the number of Elf Chosen Ones in the Elf Forest increases.
These descended World Tree clansmen have a far greater desire for storage equipment than other professionals.
Where there is demand, there is market.
Storage equipment has naturally become increasingly in demand.
And this makes many with ill intentions conceive some wicked ideas...
Pillage, those acts are never rare at any time.
Rich and powerful Elf Chosen Ones most love purchasing these dubious storage equipment on the black market.
Therefore, some mercenaries and adventurers naturally see the business opportunity.
Whenever encountering lone professionals, they observe whether the other party has storage equipment, if weak, they will not hesitate to plunder them, finally selling the seized space equipment to Elf Chosen Ones, making a fortune.
Although the Life Church has strictly banned this, dispatching Chosen Ones specifically to suppress and fight against mercenaries and adventurers involved in these activities, such vile deeds still occur frequently.
