Magic High School.

Is this reasonable?

Even for the fairy race, this level of expenditure would have essentially emptied most of their resources, right?

That's what he couldn't understand the most.

"Do you think it's possible that they're chasing us not because of what we did, but because of something we have..." Li Ge took out his hand, revealing a phantom of a ring that was constantly trembling within his domain.

He continued, "For example, the fairies have always had a pact with another evil god, and now that evil god has sensed the power of the God of Love and Beauty in my hand, and has thus rebelled. The fairy queen, seizing the opportunity, has directly ordered the capture of us..."

"What we did before is irrelevant; their only goal is this ring on my hand."

This explanation makes much more sense.

"This also explains why we received such a Jianghu kill order shortly after entering the Fairy Capital. It even shows that the school's guess was absolutely correct: the fairy race is related to a breeding evil god."

Li Ge voiced the most counterintuitive guess, but now, it is actually the most likely one.

Meanwhile, behind.

The Royal Guard Captain held a vibrating seed in his hand, and the vibration was pointing in the direction in which Li Ge and the others had fled.

"The guidance of our ancestors is in their hands! We must not let them escape!"

"Yes!"

Just as Li Ge guessed, they weren't chasing after Li Ge and the others because they had done something wrong, but because of the mutual attraction between the rings.

Even the two guards who had fainted or died on the stage were unimportant to them; their goal was to take these people away and bring them to the palace.

This was a decision that affected the entire fairy race, and it was the highest-level order, so high that it was a mandatory, top-level order that the Queen could only obtain with almost all her influence throughout her life.

Even orders concerning the will of the fairy ancestors, and even the fate and stability of the fairy capital, had to be taken seriously.

"Still chasing me, damn it!" This was already the umpteenth time Li Ge had uttered such offensive language.

They are now in a situation where they have nowhere to turn.

“We also need to think about this. We’re all in such a mess, so what about Valerie? And that fairy, will she be implicated as well?” Yilian asked.

"Forget about Daphne," Li Ge retorted. "She's a fairy, after all; she won't cause any major problems."

Li Ge even wondered if Daphne had said something wrong in the palace, which led to her being implicated.

Okay, this way of thinking that involves complaining about others is a useless way of thinking, so Li Ge immediately abandoned it and started thinking about what to do.

"If all else fails, I'll just pull them into close combat and then forcibly deploy my domain, trying to draw as many people as possible into it," Li Ge suggested.

Having a domain allows one to dominate those without, creating a gap that is almost equivalent to being in a whole different social class.

Once Li Ge activated his domain, his suppressive power was not much different from that of a fourth-tier opponent.

"If all else fails, this is the only way. Either buy me some time, and I'll try to create a hypothetical collapse," Yi Lian proposed an even more ruthless plan.

Li Ge: "..."

After his domain expanded, it was merely control, but Yi Lian's hypothetical collapse would unleash atomic-level annihilation through the conflict between liquid ice and liquid fire, which would truly create a blood feud with the fairy race.

I'll stick with Akaishi.

Therefore, the two immediately devised a solution.

After exchanging a glance, the two dodged the fairies' light-blade guillotines in the next moment. The light elemental strikes carved deep trenches in the ground, completely disregarding the fact that these trees were like the fairy ancestors in disguise.

Yi Lian grabbed Li Ge directly and used the momentum of his forward charge to create a spinning force. He wanted to throw Li Ge out in one go, to throw him high enough so that Li Ge could transform into his masked armor form and use the threads to teleport there.

In the sky, the pursuing fairy troops discovered that Li Ge and the others not only did not flee, but also dared to fight back, so they immediately began to chant an extremely powerful attack.

A rotating, hundreds-of-meters-diameter disc of light, resembling a chainsaw, took shape. This spell wasn't even cast by a single fairy, but by hundreds of fairies chanting in unison, their chants forming an ocean-like mass.

At that very moment, the shadows beneath them instantly transformed into monsters, entangling them and dragging them into the abyss.

In that instant, the pursuing troops in the sky were stunned, and the spell that was about to take shape dissipated.

"Commander of the Guard! They've suddenly vanished!"

A fairy shouted.

The head of the guard simply took out the seed in his hand, looked in the direction from which the tremor came, and said, "They're probably in that direction. Activate the reconnaissance squad and give chase!"

However, they immediately split into small teams and began to search separately, but all were heading in the same direction.

At the same time, Li Ge and Yi Lian immediately fell into the shadows.

"Hiss, thank goodness for you, Xiao Ye!" Li Ge said immediately.

Xiaoye's shadow enveloped them in darkness as she sped away.

Even so, they all hid in the shadows, and the fairies seemed to be able to find their approximate location and begin to hunt them down.

In fact, Xiaoye has an advantage in information, and being in a dense forest with shadows everywhere, she is able to escape smoothly.

When the fairies discover that Saya has entered using her shadow, they will immediately clear a forestless clearing, and then the group will truly be in danger.

At that time, Li Ge will have no choice but to try expanding the domain countless times in one go, in order to try to take away more fairies.

"Don't let your guard down, this isn't over yet!" Xiaoye said immediately, and at the same time, she slowly produced a ring in her hand. "Is it because of this thing? After I left, this thing has been responding to someone's call."

"Most likely." Li Ge slowly stood up. He looked at his reflection and realized that during this period of pursuit, his Heroic Spirit value had actually dropped by more than ten points.

Fortunately, among the fairy race, it's easy to increase one's "heroic spirit" value; all it takes is saying a few witty remarks.

Li Ge had even considered whether to go all in on his Willpower Points to directly enhance a 400% range of domain and resolve the crisis, but he held back after thinking about it. After all, Willpower Points are a one-time resource, and their mission is to deal with the evil god. It's better to leave this one-time resource on the evil god.

"Let's hurry back to save Valerie. I wonder how she is now. And Daphne, she should be alright, right? With her protection as a fairy princess, Valerie should be fine too, right?" Xiaoye said, trying to call out to Valerie in the group chat, but Valerie didn't respond.

I don't know if she's busy escaping for her life or busy with something else.

In short, they rushed off to check and rescue Valerie first.

As for Daphne... she is, after all, a fairy princess, so she should be fine... right?

After the group immediately changed direction and headed towards the Fairy Capital, the pursuers immediately became hesitant and unable to move freely.

However, when they arrived at the guesthouse where they had originally settled, they saw Valerie and Daphne, who were now handcuffed with anti-magic handcuffs.

Li Ge, Yi Lian, and Xiao Ye: "..."

Seriously, ladies, you're even handcuffing your own princess!

What's wrong with this world? Have we come to the wrong place?

At that moment, Valerie's message suddenly appeared in the group chat.

Valerie: "I'm sorry, it seems they put some kind of strange poison in the food, and I've been poisoned..."

Yi Lian: "..."

Xiaoye: "..."

Li Ge: "..."

You'd better be more careful, or you'll run into big trouble sooner or later.

Do fairies have some talent for poisoning?

The group looked at Valerie and Daphne, who had been captured and tied to a tree stump like prisoners. They didn't know if the tree stump was the transformed body of the fairy ancestors, but in any case, they only felt an abstract feeling.

Then the group that captured Valerie and the others seemed to reunite with the group that captured Li Ge; it's unclear what they said to each other.

But soon they saw Valerie and Daphne bound in the square, and then the head of the fairy guards shouted: "The culprits who spied on the secrets of the fairy race and killed the Queen, if you do not come out, you will be executed here at noon tomorrow! This announcement will be spread throughout the entire fairy kingdom!"

At this moment, the few people hiding in the shadows fell silent.

“We’ve been threatened…” Li Ge said. “By the way, Xiao Ye, can we take Valerie away directly through the shadows?”

As for Daphne, they don't yet know why she's being targeted by the fairies, but the main reason is that they aren't very familiar with her.

Yes, we're not very familiar with each other, and I don't know if she's on the side of the fairies or on our side.

It's probably the former.

"It should be possible to do it quietly, but the magic ban is still a bit difficult. We need to break the magic ban in a short time, then rescue them, and then hide in the shadows. It will probably take several minutes, or even more than ten minutes," Xiaoye explained roughly.

The principle of magic suppression is not that it completely blocks their control over spiritual power, but rather that it adds an extremely chaotic spell to normal spiritual energy, disrupting other spiritual particles.

Its effect is somewhat similar to a signal jammer at the spiritual level. After being silenced, it's more like you have to rethink how the spiritual particles should operate under the disturbance in order to use the original spell again. This requires a strong degree of adaptability and control over the spiritual particles.

Of course, their magical abilities are not yet sufficient to break free from the spell ban. Perhaps given a few days, they could break it, but not in the short term.

If Li Ge were still in the "Saved Magic Void" state, he could adapt to any attack situation. He could easily adapt to the magic-suppressing state in a short time and then solve the problem.

It's a pity that Li Ge's clown mask only grants temporary abilities each time. He really wishes he could choose an ability to make it permanent. If only he could choose...

Okay, he'll probably still choose "Fatty" as his first choice, and only then will he choose Demon Void.

However, looking at the two people tied to the pillar, they could only send messages quietly in the group chat.

Li Ge: "Don't worry, we'll come to rescue you at dawn."

Valerie: "Do you think I should be in a hurry? Hmm?"

In reality, Valerie also seemed to be searching everywhere for Li Ge and the others, but she hadn't found them yet.

She was actually trying to break free. She thought that maybe she shouldn't rely on Li Ge and the others. Could she secretly break free of the shackles late at night and then teleport away?

Valerie knew she was very strong; she was naturally strong.

Despite having various problems, the child is incredibly strong, second only to Yilian, a non-human variant spirit, in terms of base stats.

Under normal circumstances, these basic values ​​are not very useful, since they all have spiritual particle enhancement. After Li Ge enhanced his body, he could even exchange elbows with him in close combat, although he would most likely still lose. However, this also shows that after spiritual particle enhancement, these basic values ​​have been diluted to the point of being negligible.

However, after magic is banned, the basic stats become much more important.

She thought she could give it a try, so she mentioned it in the group chat.

Valerie: "I'll try to break free with brute force. I'll wait until tonight. This fairy is unreliable. Forget it, you guys save me later, I'll handle things myself."

Yilian: "Are you sure you can do it?"

Valerie: "I think I can do it."

Okay, the weather's cleared up, the rain's stopped, and I feel like I'm really doing great now.

Therefore, Li Ge and the others did not insist.

They knew the fairies were using bait to lure them in, but they had to step on the bait.

Time passed slowly, until night fell, and the fairies who had been watching the spectacle all left.
