Henrietta could appoint him as her personal knight, so there would be no problem even if Wood followed her back to the palace.
If his mother and ministers had any objections, they could simply let them test Wood's abilities, since Wood was indeed a man of substance.
"Hey Wood, would you mind marrying into the family? Would you mind if your partner was a little older than you?"
On a small road leading to a rural town, several teenagers were discussing plans on a horse-drawn cart used for transporting goods. One of them, a girl with fiery red hair and a hot figure, was trying to get close to a certain boy.
The boy's impressive bust was squeezed and deformed by the sight, making another boy in sportswear sitting opposite him feel parched, while the girl next to him gritted her teeth.
The petite girl with pink hair sitting opposite the fiery-haired girl finally couldn't bear it any longer and shouted out her rebuke.
"Chuluk, do you even know what propriety, righteousness, integrity, and a sense of shame are? You've completely disgraced the nobility."
"We have an important mission to attend to, not to watch you act like this. And as the familiar of Princess Henrietta of Wood, don't you think your actions are going too far?"
Needless to say, the so-called fire-haired girl is actually Chuluk, and the pink-haired girl who is arguing with him is naturally Louise.
For some reason, ever since being defeated by Wood, Chuluk seems to have pursued Wood like a madman.
As Chuluk's arch-enemy, Louise was naturally extremely displeased to learn that he had first attacked her familiar and now attempted to attack her friend Henrietta's familiar, and she started fighting with him.
Furthermore, to prevent Wood from being misled by Chuluk's appearance, Louise revealed a great deal of Chuluk's dirty secrets, confirming that he was indeed a female player.
“This time is different, Louise. If Wood is willing to accept my pursuit, I am willing to change all my previous bad habits.”
The Zeppelster family motto is that once you encounter an outstanding man, you must make your move first.
Although Wood is Princess Henrietta's familiar, the two of them have no relation whatsoever, do they?
Even Princess Henrietta, as Wood's contractual master, has no right to interfere with my pursuit of him. So, Louise, what reason do you have to stop me?
Seeing that her explanations were not going to work, Louise was about to use her "no-run" trick to get away with it when Kisch, who was riding ahead, gave her a warning.
The main reason why Kisch wasn't kicked out of the team after Wood and Louise joined was because of his mole familiar, Beldandy.
Berudandi has an extremely sensitive sense of smell, especially for things that are precious.
When Fukai the Earth stole the 'Staff of Destruction' from the magic academy, she also took many other gems and magical materials with her.
It was also because of Beldandi's tracking ability that Wood and his group were able to keep chasing them all the way to this abandoned village.
In the original storyline, Louise and her companions were able to find the Earth Fookie entirely because the Earth Fookie did it on purpose.
Although she stole the "Staff of Destruction," she didn't know how to use it, so she planned to borrow "Gandaruff" to figure out how to use it, but she accidentally messed things up.
However, this time, Fuka of the Earth stole the "Staff of Destruction" entirely on someone's behalf, and this abandoned village was the place where she made her deal with the client.
However, Fukae of the Earth never expected that the person who commissioned her to steal the 'Staff of Destruction' had not yet appeared, but instead, the people from the Magic Academy had caught up with her first.
As a professional thief, given her past behavior, Tsuchi no Fukai would definitely choose to flee at the first sign of trouble.
However, when she discovered that those who came to pursue her were merely students from the magic academy, not professors, Earth Fuka relaxed her guard again.
Having been undercover at the magic academy for some time, Earth-Fuke has a general understanding of the academy's situation.
The students who chased after her were indeed among the best in the magic academy, but in the eyes of Earth Fukai, they were just a bunch of kids who had never been on the battlefield.
With the agreed-upon time with the client fast approaching, if he chooses to leave now, this so-called "Staff of Destruction" might just rot in his hands.
Looking at the people chasing him, they were just students with no combat experience.
So after a brief moment of hesitation, and after confirming that there was no one else lying in ambush nearby, Tsuchi no Fukai still chose to make her move.
The title "Earth-based Fuka" suggests that the person is a master of earth-based magic.
Almost the instant Kishu issued the warning, a clay giant, more than ten meters tall, suddenly rose from the ground and swung its fist at the carriage they were riding in.
For mages who haven't trained their bodies much, taking a punch from a clay giant without using magic for defense would almost certainly mean certain death.
The clay giant was over ten meters tall, and Fukai, the spellcaster, stood on its shoulder, dressed in a black robe.
The clay figure's enormous fist was as big as a horse. With this blow, the carriage was instantly shattered, and even the horses that had been pulling the carriage were now dead beyond any hope of survival.
However, when Tsuchi no Fukai looked at the shattered carriage and then at the figures not far from her, a hint of surprise appeared on her face.
Chapter 107 Wood: Is that all you've got?
(Waaaaah, I almost forgot to update today. I'm getting old, my memory isn't what it used to be (╯﹏╰))
"I didn't expect that the two brats I thought were commoner familiars would have such skills. I underestimated you before."
The carriage was completely destroyed by the Clay Golem's attack, but Louise and the others who had been sitting in the carriage were now unharmed.
As soon as Earth Fokkai made her move, Wood and Saito reacted immediately.
Wood, with one arm around Tabasha and the other around Chuluk, jumped off the carriage immediately.
On the other side, Saito was holding Louise in one arm and the rusty longsword Drufflinger, which Louise had given him from the secondhand market, in the other.
As for the unlucky guy, Kishu, although he was stuck upside down in the ground, he was otherwise unharmed.
Before jumping off the carriage, Wood only had two hands, so he only managed to save Tabasha and Chuluk.
As for Saito, although he also has two hands, his "Gandaruff" ability cannot be activated if his left hand is not holding a weapon, so he can only hold a sword in one hand and hold Louise in the other.
So poor Kisch was kicked away by Wood in a critical moment.
Although the treatment was a bit much, at least we managed to keep our lives afloat, right?
"I never expected that the infamous thief, Tsuchi no Fuka, would be a woman."
The fact that the person was able to summon such a massive earth golem and then attack them meant that even without revealing their name, Louise and the others could easily guess who they were.
Rumor has it that Fuka of the Earth is a master of disguise, and no one has ever seen her true face. However, she stole the "Staff of Destruction" this time using her true form.
"There's nothing we can do. Your magic academy's dean is a lecherous old man, and with his level of skill, too much disguise would only arouse his suspicion."
After tearing off her black robe, Fukai's handsome face appeared before Wood and the others.
With her neat short green hair and a curvaceous figure honed from exercise, she was definitely a beauty, though not quite as striking as Henrietta or Louise.
This is evidenced by the fact that when Fukai tore off her black robe to reveal a revealing outfit, Saito and Kishu immediately looked like lecherous men.
As men themselves, Saito and Kisho understood that it wasn't entirely unreasonable for Dean Osman to be bewitched by the other party...
Fokker did not recommend revealing her appearance to the group, as she had no intention of letting Louise and the others leave alive.
As a notorious thief in several surrounding kingdoms, Fukai definitely possesses the strength of a "triangle-level" mage, and is also extremely experienced in combat.
Furthermore, due to her profession, her body has undergone a certain level of training, and she possesses a certain level of skill in physical combat, making her far superior to ordinary, physically weak magicians.
Because Wood and his group had a larger number of members, when Fukai waved his wand, another earth golem rose from the ground with a thud.
Seeing the two clay giants surrounding them from both sides, Louise and the others quickly drew their wands to fight.
Unfortunately, Louise, who had not yet mastered the true method of using "nothingness," could not even scratch the clay giant with her magic.
As for Chuluk's fire magic, its power is sufficient, but unfortunately, earth magic has a certain resistance to fire magic.
Although Chuluk's magic caused some damage to the clay giant, it was not enough to shake its body.
Kishu also summoned several knight puppets that had fought against Saito before, but these things were obviously very much in line with Kishu's style, and were just pretty but useless decorations.
With a mere sweep of his fist and a stomp of his foot, the clay giant reduced the loyal knights of Kishu to a pile of fragments.
Tabitha was their strongest mage, but Fuka knew about her situation all along and was currently directing the clay giants to focus on her, giving her no time to cast spells.
If Sylphid were there, Tabitha might have gained an aerial advantage, but because of the previous battle, Sylphid is currently staying at the magic academy to recover from her injuries.
Tabasha was targeted, and the magic of Chuluk and Louise was of very limited effectiveness.
Seeing the two clay giants closing in on them from both sides, the group looked anxious.
With runes lit up on his left hand, Saito's speed has been greatly enhanced thanks to the "Gandaruf" ability. With the sword in hand, he is now a true master swordsman.
However, faced with the current situation, Saito only had the strength to escape with Louise.
As for Gish and the other so-called elites of the academy, they had probably never experienced such a desperate situation in actual combat. When they saw the clay giants surrounding them swinging their fists, they closed their eyes in fear.
"boom------!"
As the two clay giants, each over ten meters tall, simultaneously unleashed their powerful punches, the ground trembled.
Looking at the center shrouded in sand and dust, Fukai, standing on the shoulder of one of the clay giants, said with a bored expression, "I thought I could have some fun, but it ended so quickly."
"You're right. I was quite looking forward to it, but it turns out that this is all the Earth Fukai is capable of?"
Just as Fukai was about to turn around, she heard a sound suddenly coming from the sandstorm and turned around in disbelief. What she saw next almost made her jaw drop.
As the sand and dust settled, a black-haired boy miraculously used both hands, with two long swords, to block the fists swung down by the two clay giants!
The most compelling evidence of the power of the clay giant's fist is the shattered carriage beside it. If the opponent had used magic to block the attack, Fukai wouldn't have been so surprised.
However, Fukai could see very clearly that the opponent was obviously a commoner, and the way he blocked the Clay Golem's attack was by relying on his own brute force!
Is this seemingly frail boy in front of me really human?
It wasn't just Fukai who was surprised. Although they had previously witnessed Wood's terrifying physical abilities in kicking a dragon away, Louise and the others were still extremely surprised to see such terrifying speed up close again.
Just as everyone was astonished, the rusty longsword in Cai Ren's hand suddenly spoke in human language: "Partner, now is not the time to be surprised."
After being reminded by Drufflinger, Saito quickly reacted after a moment of stunned silence. He didn't let go of this excellent opportunity, leaped up, and ran along the arm of the Clay Golem.
The runes on the back of his left hand, belonging to "Gundaruf," burst forth with brilliant light, and several sharp blades fell, causing the arms of the two clay giants to collapse with a crash under the blades.
