Chapter 168
Jiang Yue's story was really just the beginning.
Because before Aarons decided whether to continue listening to the next part, Xia Ye suddenly came to the research room,
"Master, your guards have been decided. Miss Karin will be responsible for sending away those who come to harass Her Royal Highness the Princess, and Miss Zhu Ying will accompany you back to Moti City... and this old woman."
"Oh, it's almost time. Teacher Jiang Yue, let's get ready to leave now."
"Then I'll tell you the story later. Marquis, go back and prepare first, I'll change my clothes and come to find you."
The story can indeed be heard later-Aarons certainly knew that it was Jiang Yue's own story, but he was not in a hurry to explore the secrets of the sage.
After all, there will be plenty of time to spend together in the future.
But after watching Aarons leave in a hurry, Jiang Yue, who was still smiling, sighed a little disappointedly.
"Miss Yang, this method doesn't seem to be a good one."
After taking off the silver-white necklace on her neck, Jiang Yue's unusual charm disappeared. Xia Ye, who was standing next to her, showed a cold expression as if mocking.
"Did you use this despicable method to deceive other men before?"
"This thing can't make people desire directly, it can only amplify the desire in their hearts... Although I have been mentally prepared, the Marquis didn't react at all."
"Humph, you insisted on saying such uncompromising words on the first day, do you regret it now?"
Listening to Xia Ye's ruthless sarcasm, Jiang Yue couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Of course, she said those words because she had some concerns at the time, but now it has become her shackles.
"But it's good this way, after all..."
"Just keep finding more excuses for yourself, and then watch others get ahead of you."
As if she was a little bored, the Aries beauty left the room without looking back after spitting out the spicy comments.
Jiang Yue, who had become a person again, shook her head helplessly.
…
"Zhu Ying, I'll ask you to monitor the situation in the sky during this period. If the other party changes their mind and decides to attack me directly in the city, you can give them a surprise by surprise."
"Understood. Start to formulate an aerial patrol route. Please keep in touch with me mentally."
Aarons' repeated training in the past few days has indeed achieved some results-he can now resonate with Zhu Ying in a normalized consciousness.
Although doing so will consume mental power all the time, as long as you don't enter a high-speed combat state, the load is still within the controllable range.
"There should be no problem...Where is Teacher Jiang Yue?"
Although Jiang Yue said just now that she would come over after changing clothes, Aarons didn't see her figure until it was time to set off.
However, just when Aarons was about to go to the laboratory to ask again with some concern, the sage who had changed his clothes appeared in front of him at the right time.
"I'm very sorry. It took a little time to adjust the weapon."
What was a little surprising was that Jiang Yue not only tied her long hair into a bunch, but also changed into a quite formal white knight dress.
- In addition to the double-breasted long-sleeved coat and the knee-length skirt with a belt, she even wore a quite elegant one-shoulder cape on her left shoulder.
The long-handled sword and spear in her hand and the four rifle-like floating guns on her back made her elegant and capable appearance even more cold.
"Teacher Jiang Yue... We are not going to fight with others."
"Your safety is the most important thing. Of course, you should bring as much equipment as possible."
Watching the mature, intellectual, elegant and capable beautiful sage approaching step by step, Aarons even subconsciously took a half step back. But when he found that his body did not have an excessive reaction, he immediately returned to his original position.
It seems that the previous state was indeed not normal.
"Also, although I did have the title of magic sage in the past, I am also the guard knight of Her Royal Highness the Princess. So when you go out this time, just treat me as your attendant."
Although Aarons was still a little hesitant in his reason, the man's vanity quickly broke down his psychological defenses.
——That's a female knight! Teacher Jiangyue is really understanding!
"Then please protect me."
...
Taking his own truck, Aarons returned to Moti City smoothly.
He thought that the group of mercenaries he met last time would take this opportunity to attack him, but until he entered the city, he did not meet anyone who wanted to cause trouble.
And what is puzzling is that the current MotiThe atmosphere in the city was as lively as if it was a festival.
"What's going on here..."
After entering the city without hiding his identity, Aarons was immediately shocked by the lively atmosphere in the city.
In addition to the lights and decorations everywhere, there were people who were handing out flyers and small gifts to passers-by on the street - and after receiving a flyer from someone who didn't know him, Aarons finally knew the reason why the city was so lively.
It was the person who was going to get engaged to Her Royal Highness the Princess who was spending money to stir up the atmosphere.
"The person who is coming here is probably of high status, Marquis."
"There should be a name on it, let me see... The sponsor is Carlos Booker? Who is this?"
"Oh, it turned out to be Duke Booker. It seems that the person who is going to get engaged to Her Royal Highness the Princess is the heir of his family."
Aarons didn't know who this Duke Booker was, so he could only ask Jiang Yue, who knew the aristocratic circle very well.
"The three dukes are the heads of the Scott, Booker and Kuma families. These three families control the richest territories in the empire. And the Booker family controls 80% of the magic source stone output in the empire."
Magic source stone is an important energy source to maintain the operation of society. Being able to control the output of magic source stone is equivalent to controlling the lifeblood of the country.
"Duke Booker himself is not very strong. His children are only at level four at most... but his family has the most wealth among the three dukes."
"Although he is a rich man, he lacks a strong heir... No wonder he is targeting Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"This is also a problem you need to consider. Although the little guy who came to rob the marriage himself will not be very strong, he will definitely bring a lot of powerful combat forces."
A rich man who came all the way to ruin the scene will of course hire a lot of powerful thugs-but Aarons already had a plan in mind.
"If this guy really intends to bring a lot of people to humiliate me, it will be beneficial to me. But now... let's wait and see the situation first."
