On the other side, Alymiya was walking quickly in the corridor. In front of her was Anweina, followed by three maids behind her.
"This is my first time wearing this kind of clothes, it feels so novel."
A maid said excitedly. She held up the hem of her skirt and took small steps. Her leather shoes made a clicking sound on the smooth marble floor.
"It's better to wear less clothes like this."
Another maid said. Her blond hair was tied into a ponytail and swayed as she ran. This was Claire, the dean and mascot of Crescent College.
Similarly, the two maids beside her are not servants of the Albiore family, but Dana and Fina.
The maid outfits they wore were made by Dana. She easily imitated the Albiore family's tailors and made these maid outfits in order to sneak into the manor and rescue Emilia.
According to Reiner, the battle plan is divided into two parts.
Reiner himself and the high-ranking mage will appear in front of everyone. One is to use the theory of genetics to put pressure on the pure-blood sect and divide the pure-blood sect. The other is to attract the public's attention and create opportunities for Claire and the others. .
Claire is here to prevent the Albiore family from imprisoning Amelia, forcing a wedding, or even causing Edward to do some bad behavior.
Their plan has been quite successful so far. Anweina has always been Amelia's personal maid and is familiar with all the roads in the castle. They disguised themselves as a maid team to greet Amelia ten minutes in advance and picked her up. He grabbed Alymiya and then left via a small path, avoiding most of the guards.
They originally wanted to leave the manor directly, but in order to avoid attracting attention, they spent a certain amount of time taking a detour, and now they are still wandering in the corridor on the side of the manor.
Of course, they have another option, which is to go directly to the banquet hall where the wedding is held. Although there are all pure-blood family members there, there are also high-level mages, so it is another safest place.
"There seems to be someone in front."
Fina said lightly. The maid uniform she was wearing was a bit too big, and the skirt and cuffs were a lot longer, making the girl look even more petite. The moment she said these words, she stopped, and in her mind, the spell model quickly Constructed, an invisible barrier appeared in front of several people.
"Hey, Fina, what's wrong?"
Claire was a little confused, but she also slowed down with the others.
Bang—
The next moment, a small fireball hit Claire where they were supposed to be. The scorching wind was blocked by the barrier and did not affect them.
"Discovered?"
Anweina was a little panicked for a moment. She was just an ordinary person and didn't know any magic at all. If it hadn't been for Fina's reminder, she who was walking at the front might have been hit by the fireball, and the consequences would have been disastrous.
"You bastards, how dare you act so recklessly in my house."
A distorted voice came from behind the smoke, making Amelia tremble subconsciously.
It's Edward.
"If you want to escape the manor, this is the only way to go. Don't think I don't know."
Edward said, and several figures appeared beside him. They were all strong guards. They wore leather armor and held sharp spears in their hands. It could be seen that their equipment was enchanted equipment engraved with magic. This is The Albiore family's private army.
In the era of the ancient magic empire, the scale of these private armies was even larger, with up to 3,000 people, enough to control the large areas around Berger City and its surroundings. It was not until the modern magic revolution that these private armies were banned, but the pure-blood faction The family more or less raised some of them as swords to exert their authority.
Edward himself is a second-level mage, but on Claire's side, except for Fina, who has just advanced, and Claire, who seems unreliable, the remaining Dana and Alymia are still just apprentices, and Anweina He is an ordinary person with little ability. Whether it is from the perspective of magic or combat effectiveness, it is difficult for them to match Edward.
"Alymiya's mother was wrongly accused. There is no reason for her to continue to stay in this family."
Claire said with some confidence. She was thinking about ways to escape. She didn't have much magic, but at least she could buy some time in front of Edward. Now it seemed that it was difficult to escape from the manor directly. She could only go to Lai Accept it over there.
"Unjustly accused? Look at her appearance, which has no family blood, and look at her dirty red hair. There is absolutely no way she is from the Albiore family!"
Edward smiled. He obviously knew that he was in an advantageous position and acted more recklessly.
"If you guys help this bastard escape, don't even think about escaping punishment. Haha, I will make you two turn into my shape, and you will never be able to leave the bed again."
Edward licked his lips. Seeing that the girls dressed as maids around Amelia were all very beautiful, he threatened.
In the Albiore household, he is the master!
Feeling a chill in her stomach, Claire took half a step back. The behavior of the pure-blood in front of her made her extremely disgusted, but Claire did not dare to move rashly. The first-level mage was basically at a disadvantage in the battle against the second-level mage. , higher-level magic will steal the magic power scattered freely in the air, making it impossible for low-level mages to cast spells normally.
"You guys leave later and go find Reiner. I'll buy some time."'
Claire whispered to Alymiya and others. She gently pinched the pendant around her neck. The three-ring magic engraved in it and Isharis's Wall of Sighs should be enough to resist Edward for a while, even if it exceeds the level Using magic might damage the soul, but she didn't care about that much at this time.
"Wait, Teacher Claire, I..."
Dana seemed to have something to say, but Claire didn't let her finish.
"It doesn't matter. I was best at hide-and-seek when I was a kid. They can't catch me."
Claire said confidently, showing a somewhat forced smile.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't even think about running away."
Edward waved his hand, and the guards behind him prepared to disperse and surround Emilia and the others.
In his own hand, a new flame gathered. This blood power derived from the Albiore family was a weapon that Edward was proud of. His eyes widened, with bloodshot eyes faintly highlighted.
Claire held the pendant on her chest tightly and was about to use the magic engraved inside, when a figure suddenly stood up and stood in front of them.
It's Dana.
The student in maid uniform pulled out a slender wooden stick from somewhere and held it in his hand like a magic wand.
"What does a mere apprentice want to do? It's so arrogant."
Edward held up the flame in his hand, and at the same time, several guards stepped forward, their spears dazzling.
"Teacher Claire, Mr. Reiner told me that if in a moment of crisis, I can use this spell at will based on my own judgment."
At the critical moment, Dana pointed the wand at Edward and shouted a word with unknown meaning in her mouth.
"Explosin!!!"
From the top of the wand, huge and pure power spurted out, absorbing all the magic floating in the air within a radius of several hundred meters.
With a roar, an unprecedentedly huge mushroom cloud rose from the ground.
