I asked you to be a mage, not to raise a nine-tailed fox

Chapter 260 Mina Returns
In short, it's impossible.

The eldest prince looked at Lucia's stubborn expression and knew that no matter how much he tried to persuade her, it would be useless.

Just let Lucia leave.

"Go meet your dear elder sister. I believe she must miss you very much."

The eldest prince smiled.

Putting these two sisters who have a "great" relationship in the same room is bound to lead to some interesting things.

Lucia glanced at the eldest prince indifferently and turned away.

Catherine's residence.

Lucia saw the former regent princess of Ansu.

Looks a little haggard.

She just sat there cross-legged.

There were some broken utensils scattered on the ground, which looked like they had just been vented.

"My lady, please take care of yourself."

The man in black robe bowed.

Catherine opened her eyes.

He glanced at the man calmly and nodded slightly.

"Go ahead. I want to have a good chat with my good sister."

When she said this, only one side of Catherine's mouth curled up, and she chuckled wickedly, as if she wanted to vent her anger on Lucia.

The man in black robe bowed and left, but just as he closed the door.

Catherine said calmly.

"Let those people leave. There are some things that sisters say that you are not qualified to listen to."

The man in black hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

Catherine ignored Lucia and closed her eyes.

After about dozens of breaths.

Catherine snorted.

A magical halo spread out.

The arcane light bounced the figure in the corner away, and a few breaths later, another figure was bounced away.

When the third figure could no longer hold on and was driven away by the arcane shock.

There was a gleam in Catherine's eyes, and the arcane light around her increased greatly.

After vibrating for several rounds and finally confirming that there were no other surveillance personnel, the arcane light enveloped and formed an arcane energy barrier.

And until this moment, Catherine suddenly got up.

There was no longer the coldness just now.

"Finally one has arrived."

Catherine stretched and kicked the debris around her in disgust.

Then she waved her hand and threw two more handicrafts on the ground. Not feeling that they were not broken enough, she cast an arcane shock.

Lucia frowned when she saw this scene.

"What are you waiting for? Come on."

Catherine glanced at Lucia and walked in first.

Through the front hall is the courtyard.

There is a tree house on top of a tall ancient tree.

Catherine didn't use flashing, but rolled up her sleeves and climbed up with her bare hands.

Climbed into the tree house.

When she saw the tree house, Lucia was stunned for a moment, as if she was reminiscing.

As if she hadn't waited for Lucia, Catherine poked her head out of the tree house and looked at Lucia below.

"What are you waiting for? Come up."

Lucia blinked and looked at Catherine.

"you……"

"What do you mean, you still want to be scolded by me?"

Katherine cursed, but winked at Lucia.

Lucia took a deep breath.

He said calmly, "I'm not afraid of you."

So he climbed up to the tree house.

As soon as Lucia got in, Catherine immediately cast an arcane barrier around the tree house.

Only then did Catherine finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"How did you come?"

She looked at Lucia.

And Lucia looked at Catherine carefully.

Silent.

“Don’t worry, no one here can monitor it, unless they have the ability of Sister Laura.”

"How is this going."

Lucia couldn't help herself and asked directly.

In fact, the relationship between the two sisters has become delicate since they arrived at the Elemental Camp.

Catherine seemed the same but had let go a little.

Lucia's years of emotional knot have loosened somewhat.

Catherine's betrayal was still unforgivable, but the days when they experienced life and death together in the Elemental Maze and went through adventures together still often appeared in Westerly's dreams.

It would be a lie to say there is no impact at all.

Especially, seeing this former tree house.

Lucia's childhood memories came flooding back, and she seemed to have trouble understanding this older sister.

"Oh, you mean those people outside? It's okay. They want the resources in my hands so that they can smoothly transition to the throne. Just let them..."

"why."

"No reason, just for this."

"I mean here."

Lucia pointed at the tree house at her feet and asked why this tree house appeared here.

Shouldn't it be set on fire?

"Ah, you're talking about this." Catherine blinked and suddenly showed a hint of amusement, "Guess."

Lucia didn't know why, but she always had the urge to get high.

Veins bulged.

The fist is hard.

As expected, I really can’t stand this woman at all!

"But speaking of which, I still need your help a little."

"doing what?"

Lucia looked at her coldly.

"I'm going to leave an arcane beacon on you."
-
"Lucia sent away?"

"Yes, Your Highness, Her Highness Lucia has left."

"She is at the eldest sister's place. Is she getting along well?"

"Two more treasures have been destroyed."

The young man in Chinese clothes frowned when he heard this.

These are treasures left by our ancestors, these two spendthrift women!

After listening to some more reports, he finally turned his gaze to the map behind him.

Southeast corner.

There are several planned areas.

There are Mina's, Lucia's, Ansana's and Kureya's.

These territories are connected into one, and the barren land near the coast is almost adjacent to the territory of Duke Ashes.

But because the Duke of Ashes recently spit out a piece of land, the blank area in the middle has become a little bigger.

"The Duke of Ashes is trouble after all."

he muttered.

However, looking at that land, there is also the issue of "exiling" Princess Catherine that was recently brought up by Parliament.

The eldest prince fell into deep thought.

This unstable woman would ultimately be a nuisance if she stayed in the capital.

The original territory was too close to the royal capital.

However, the territory in the southern border can be further expanded.

Fertile land, good tax revenue and power of its own.

"You actually want to go back to the capital. There is such a territory around it. I will never let you go back."

His gaze fell towards the southern border again.

A brilliant plan came to mind.

Because the second son was killed and Richard died in battle, there was already some rift between Grand Duke Ash and Catherine.

And if at this time, Catherine was allowed to eat the land spit out by the Grand Duke of Ashes...

No, it wasn't just Katherine.

Mina, Lucia and Ansana also want a piece of the pie.

Let them fight!

The Grand Duke of the West, the Grand Duke of Ashes, the Grand Duke of the East, the Grand Duke of Silver.

Let’s fight in the South!
In this way, he can do his own things in Ansu Capital.

He needs time so much now.

"Mina..."

Finally, his eyes fell on the name in the center of those small territories. Mina.

count.

The youngest star watermaker in Anzu's history.

“It would be great if I could use it!”

It would be great if such a person was from the Ognegula family!

The eldest prince took a deep breath.

He lowered his head again and opened the document in his hand.

These... there are a few more documents today.

Looks like I'll have to stay up late again tonight. My magic power seems to be growing a little slow lately.

But these are the pains of power, it doesn't matter.

Inside the tree house.

Catherine made a glass of red wine and took a big sip.

Looking at the galaxy outside, it remains the same.

These days are very comfortable.

Early the next morning.

The news that Master Mina was about to return suddenly spread to certain circles in the capital of Ansu.

This immediately caused Ansu's upper echelons to explode.

The angriest person was undoubtedly the old king.

This bastard who killed his son actually dared to come back so brazenly.

"Guards, capture him! Kill him... cough cough cough"

The guard in the room responded, turned left, handed over his shift, and then returned to the Royal Knights to do what he was supposed to do.

The new guards dutifully guarded the old king's safety.

Don't let any flies in, or... fly out.

Master Cavill originally had an open class in the Imperial Academy.

But when he heard that Mina was coming back today, he immediately lost his composure.

If the old dean of the Imperial Academy had not blocked the door early in the morning, Cavill would have canceled today's open class.

The ten great knightly orders and the Royal Knights' logistics brigade were all excited.

Because Anzu’s youngest star water maker is back.

I still remember that when I left last time, Mina gave an open class.

The effect was explosive.

Many water engineers are still digesting the knowledge and experience gained from that open class.

Some people even broke through silver and reached gold with this.

He became the backbone of the Knights Templar, and from then on his destiny was in his own hands.

It is impossible to say that I don't have gratitude towards Mina in my heart.

Now, Boss Mina is coming back, how could they not go to welcome him?

If Mina knew what these people were thinking, he would definitely be in tears and laughter. It's not popular to chase stars these days.

He still wants to live a stable life.

Of course, Mina was already impatient to go back.

As Mina crossed the Giant Wolf Mountains, he approached the capital of Ansu.

His fellow leaves also rang.

The kind that keeps ringing.

There was Captain Luya, who asked him to meet with Mel, and there was Ms. Issara, who said that the Silver Hand base was in urgent need of supplies.

Master Cavill said that he was giving an open class and he didn't have time to go out of town to meet you, but if time permitted, he would definitely invite you for a meal.

And Ansana.

It kept buzzing.

The frequency of the leaves' vibrations reminded Mina of massage... an electric toothbrush.

It is easy to imagine how impatient the leaves are.

As for whether he can't wait to see Mina or miss Mina's bread.

None of this matters.

What matters is...Mina's bread is star-studded.

He smiled.

This time when he goes back, he is going to shock Ansana and Lucia.

Huh, just missing bread?

Nearing noon, the area outside the capital of Ansu was already crowded with people, at least tens of thousands.

The scale of this incident directly alarmed the Royal Capital Knights.

As a result, when the city guards came over, they found that their old captains were still there.

Upon further inquiries, it turned out that it was Mina who had turned the tide in Moonlight Glade and saved many members of the Kingdom's Knights.

This... shouldn't I come along to join in the fun?
When ordinary people heard it, they knew that it was a Goblin Slayer, the hero who protected the capital of Anzu, the youngest star water maker in Anzu's history, Count Mina, who had returned.

Wow, the streets were almost deserted.

When the eldest prince heard the report from his subordinates, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. If the old man heard this, he would probably be unable to sleep or eat again.

The Silver Hand...

"There is reliable news that Earl Mina has made great contributions on the border. It is very likely related to the defeat of tens of thousands of troops from the Frost and Snow Country a few days ago."

When the eldest prince heard the intelligence officer's words, he was stunned for a moment and nodded slightly.

"Military merit, huh..."

It seems that the title of earl is secured, but I don’t know if Mina has any plans to take further steps.

The Marquis' words...

"Your Highness."

Before leaving, the intelligence officer looked at the eldest prince, wanting to say something but stopping himself, and wanting to say something again.

After repeating it twice, he finally couldn't help it and advised: "Pay attention to rest."

The eldest prince was stunned, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Okay, I know my limits. Go down and don't forget to do what I told you to do."

The eldest prince yawned, stood up, and stretched lazily in front of the window. The documents were almost processed. Should he go and see Mina? This was an opportunity to win him over...

Suddenly there was another knock on the door.

The maid came in, holding a pile of documents.

"Your Highness, this is..."

The eldest prince: “…”
-
"I'm coming……"

Suddenly someone shouted loudly.

Just in the distance on the horizon, the griffin team could be vaguely seen over there.

In the center of the team, there was a snow-white griffin.

It's Mina's team.

Mina never expected that he would be blocked by the Royal Knights when he was still two hundred miles away.

Still an acquaintance.

He was a teammate in Moonglade.

"Count Mina."

The Royal Knights are still very serious when they are on official business.

After hearing what Huangqi said about the current situation, Mina was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

He was just going back home, was it necessary to send thirteen royal griffins to welcome him?
The Royal Knights, all of whom are at the deputy captain level, are here to greet us two hundred miles away.

However, when Mina arrived outside the city of Ansu.

I was immediately dumbfounded.

what?
"Count Mina." The captain of the welcoming team, the middle-aged royal knight, found Mina's dazed look somewhat funny.

He himself almost couldn't help but said, "Should we go down or fly directly into the city."

Mina thought about it.

Let’s go down.

It’s not because of feeling the atmosphere or being surrounded by people or anything like that.

Just wanted to say hello to some old friends.

Well, that's right.

Oonamil was really shocked.

I never expected that Mina would be so popular in Anzu.

But they had no news.

This is too abnormal.

Are the intelligence agencies of the Frost and Snow Country here just there to do nothing?
How come there is no news from her?
Onamir decided that if she had the chance, she would definitely check what those nails here were doing!
It took a full two hours.

Mina then rushed out of the crowd and entered the capital of Ansu.

Really, everyone is so enthusiastic.

Mina smiled.

To be honest, vanity does exist.

But also at the very beginning.

But after about half an hour, I was already tired.

What was more was the joy of seeing so many old friends.

He really didn't expect that he had made so many good friends in Ansu Capital without realizing it.

And they all give me so much face.

It's a sunny afternoon in winter.

In front of Mina's cottage, there were two figures standing there, like two wives waiting for their husbands to come home, looking in the direction of their husbands' return.
