On the street at dusk, there were far fewer pedestrians. The howling autumn wind blew by, bringing a hint of coolness to the air.
"Mandy, no, you can't eat anymore!"
Clemont tightened his clothes, and then separated Mandy, who was holding a red fruit and chewing it, from the fruit!
Looking at Mandy's angry little face, Clemont said seriously: "Mandy, it's not that I won't let you eat. Look at you! You are so small and you ate so much in the afternoon. If you are full,
What should I do? I'm doing this all for your own good!"
"Ah, silly Clement, Mandy can't hold on, look!"
As she spoke, Mandy opened her hands, and a rich green light emerged from Mandy's palms.
"Huh? Mandy, how's your energy?"
Seeing the green light in Mandy's hands that was brighter than before, Clemont opened his mouth wide.
"Yeah, Clemont, Mandy didn't lie to you! Mandy seems to have become stronger while eating!"
Hearing Mandy's words, Clemont shed tears of envy.
Is the existence of fairies scientific? Can you become stronger by eating anything? And it's also an ordinary thing?
No, I have to ask Mariana if I have a chance.
Then he handed over the small fruit covered with teeth marks in his hand.
After taking the fruit from Clemont, Mandy stretched out her right hand and made a face at him.
Looking at the slightly empty streets, Clemont was a little uninterested, but whether it was an illusion or not, he always felt like he was being watched by something.
"Forget it, it's getting late, let's go back to the academy!"
After saying something to Mandy, Clemont walked forward some distance, then stood there and looked around.
This is a street corner. If you stop the car here, the view will be much better.
After about half an hour, a slightly shabby magic caravan slowly drove over from the other end of the street.
Looking at the empty carriage, Clemont pursed his lips with joy.
It’s not easy to take a taxi at this time. Most taxi drivers have gone home to eat by this time!
When the caravan approached, Clemente waved his hand gently.
As the carriage stopped at the corner, a middle-aged coachman with a simple appearance and a short shirt jumped out of the caravan with an expressionless face and opened the door.
"Go to the Royal Knight Cadets!"
After speaking to the coachman, Clemont took Mandy and got into the carriage.
Although the carriage is a bit small, it is very warm inside and has a light fragrance that makes people feel sleepy.
However, the caravan quickly started running, and the surrounding street scenes quickly passed by.
Sitting in the car and looking at Mandy on his shoulder, Clemont frowned.
I don’t know where Mariana has been during this time. It seems like I haven’t seen her for a week!
'Forget it, go to the Magic Tower tomorrow and ask!'
As the caravan moved, Clement gradually closed his eyes.
…
After an unknown amount of time, Clement, who had fallen asleep, was awakened by the stinging pain in his ears.
"Damn it, why did I fall asleep here!"
He sat up with some annoyance, and when he saw that he was still in the car, Clemont breathed a sigh of relief.
I am still too lax!
Although there seem to be no enemies in Santa Cruz, in this world, you still need to be vigilant.
However, he soon noticed something was wrong. Although the magic caravan was still moving, the buildings outside the window were getting denser and denser.
"Ah! Clemont, you wake up!"
Mandy, who was holding on to Clemont's ear at this time, let go of her hand with a look of joy and flew to Clemont.
At this time, the sky outside was completely dark. After turning his head again to look at the scenery passing by outside the window, Clemont put Mandy in his hand and said seriously.
"Mandy, if a fight breaks out later, you must find a place to hide, and then come out after I have dealt with the problem!"
"ah?"
Although she didn't know why Clemont's expression turned so fierce, Mandy still nodded obediently.
If you guessed correctly, you should be in the outer city area now. Only the buildings here are so dense, and compared to the inner city area, they also look a bit shabby.
After confirming his current position, Clemont looked at the coachman in front of him, separated by a layer of glass.
It was not his character to sit still and wait for death, so at this moment he took action decisively and punched out, causing the glass in front of him to shatter instantly.
Hearing the explosion behind him, the driver in a short shirt, who was concentrating on driving, looked startled, and then turned around in fear.
"Tell me! Who asked you to come? You shouldn't be unaware of the crime of persecuting nobles, right?"
The car continued to move forward, and at this moment, the calm voice reached the coachman's ears through the broken carriage, but it was as biting as the icy cold wind.
"Noble? Are you a noble? Didn't they say you were just an ordinary knight in the Royal Knights Academy?"
Hearing Clement's words, the coachman was completely panicked.
If he knew that this young man was a noble, he would not dare to accept this job even if he were killed.
And you said you are a noble, why do you dress like an ordinary person? Aren't you doing harm to others?
But at this moment, it was too late to say anything. Thinking of his seriously ill wife and three children at home, the coachman decided to take a desperate risk.
As long as I can get the agreed upon reward, I can take my family and leave for another country.
The car was already very close to the appointed place, so the driver shouted.
"I've brought people here, come out quickly!"
Listening to the coachman's scream, Clement did not stop him.
It was easy to kill an ordinary person, but he wanted to see who was behind it and wanted to cause trouble for him.
Sure enough, as soon as the coachman's voice fell! A group of masked men armed with various weapons and dressed like mercenaries appeared in the alleyway ahead.
The magic caravan also stopped at this moment.
"Haha, Wade, you did a good job! You have nothing to do here, you can leave!"
The leading masked man glanced at Clement, who was sitting in the carriage, and said to the coachman with a smile.
"Hmph, Max, before taking action, you didn't say that he was a noble, so I want more from this harvest!"
Looking at the smiling Max, Wade snorted with an ugly expression.
"Don't worry, your share is indispensable!"
Although he couldn't see Max's face clearly, after seeing that he promised him, Wade walked past him with confidence and walked into the alley beside him.
However, just as his figure disappeared into the alley, the sound of blood splattering suddenly came from the alley, accompanied by the whimpering of a dying person.
Clemont, who walked out of the car, had no reaction to the dog-eating-dog scene. He flicked the wrinkles on his clothes, then stared at Max and said with a smile.
"I'm curious, what makes you people, who are only senior knights at the highest level, come to trouble me?"
"???..."
After hearing Clemont's words, the masked mercenaries looked at each other. Where did this kid have the courage to laugh at them? Why should a mid-level knight laugh at them?
"Hmph, kid, don't talk nonsense. If you are sensible, I will hand over all your belongings, as well as the goblin next to you!"
Forehead……
Clemont was speechless and patted his forehead. After doing so much, it turned out that these people were just trying to rob his property. I didn't think they had such a big purpose!
