Chapter 47

At this moment, Duke Gels felt the sky become even clearer, and even his breathing felt more comfortable than usual.

It was good that the two children were alive; other matters didn't matter.

As for the two additional people, they didn't seem threatening and were lying on the ground.

Nalasha controlled the water column to slowly lower and move towards the shore.

When they reached the shore, the water column disappeared, and she and Gongsun Murong stood on the ground, while the two people lying down remained on the ground.

Gongsun Murong sent a reassuring look to Duke Gels, nodded, and considered it a greeting.

Nalasha, on the other hand, exclaimed in surprise, "Grand Duke, why are you here?"

Then she turned around and ran to meet Lucia, who was running over.

The two of them held hands, jumped, and when they stopped, Nalasha, with a look of lingering fear, said, "Lucia, do you know, this time, Brother Murong and I encountered some really tough people."

"What kind of people?" Lucia became nervous.

"A powerful spellcaster, who had no spellcasting equipment, didn't move at all, and suppressed a large area of earth magic fluctuations around him.

And those two people, they felt even stronger to me. Fortunately, Brother Murong acted quickly. Look, they're knocked out, and he even stuffed them with pain-relieving medicine. They haven't woken up yet."

Nalasha pointed at the two people lying down and spoke happily.

"Ah? You didn't intimidate them a bit? I always think it's best to scare the enemy first, then wait for them to threaten you, and show a look of disdain. Otherwise, how can you show the joy of victory?"

"Are you kidding? That depends on who the opponent is. If they're weaker than me, I might talk to them a bit.

But the enemies Brother Murong and I faced were not weak at all. I can imagine that if Brother Murong and I paused for a second, we wouldn't have made it back.

It was a fight to the death, with every move being preemptive and fast. It wasn't a game."

Nalasha shook her head and gently patted Lucia's shoulder, "Lucia, when you fight in the future, don't hesitate. Decide your fate in an instant."

"Really?" Lucia's eyes showed a hint of fear.

"Yes, if you don't believe me, ask others who have experienced battles." Nalasha was very certain.

Lucia looked at her grandfather, "Grandpa?"

Duke Gels had been on the battlefield in his youth.

Seeing his granddaughter ask, he sighed and said, "The cruelty of battle is something students in the academy can never understand.

In my memory, countless academy students with high combat aura and spellcasting talent fell during their first attack.

The ones who killed them had lower combat aura ranks and spellcasting levels.

Their deaths seemed unjust.

But on a battlefield where lives are exchanged, their deaths were so reasonable.

No one has ever stipulated that a person with many scars must die at the hands of a newcomer from the academy.

Spend more time with Nalasha; she will teach you how to fight."

"Okay~!" Lucia obediently agreed, planning to start learning when she returned to Nalasha's estate.

At this moment, Gongsun Murong took out a device, a recorder he had brought from 'home.'

He had used it in class, placing a few in different classrooms.

He and Nalasha would attend other classes, collect them after class, and watch them in the evening.

If there was something he didn't understand, he would take gifts to ask the teachers.

Previously, this device had been on his body, recording while he fought.

It was more vivid and specific than what he and Nalasha could describe.

When the image and sound played, there was no need to choose a specific environment; a light screen could form in the air.

Only those with sufficient status were allowed to stand and watch.

Before playing, Gongsun Murong reminded them, "Let's agree, you can only watch and listen, and you are not allowed to ask Brother Murong and Nalasha any questions, any questions."

"Brother Murong is right. Don't ask about our secrets. We showed you this because we like you and you mobilized such a large force to find us.

If you insist on figuring out our secrets and try to control us, Brother Murong and I will leave."

Nalasha also emphasized, knowing that this time they would expose many secrets and needed to hurry up and practice.

Duke Gels nodded solemnly, suddenly turned around, and kicked a minister nearby, instructing, "Arrest him and thoroughly investigate his family situation."

He had just noticed that this person's emotional reaction was different from others when Gongsun Murong and Nalasha were speaking.

The minister was restrained, and some people only then realized that the Duke's strength was also considerable, and he was a practitioner of both spellcasting and combat aura.

The others who didn't have the right to watch quickly moved, avoiding the viewing position.

And they retreated far enough that they couldn't even hear the sound.

"Alright." Duke Gels observed again and confirmed.

Gongsun Murong operated the recorder and started playing.

The scene appeared at the moment the two of them discovered the transmission channel.

Everyone's eyes widened, some happy, some worried.

There really was a channel that could span long distances.

Then Gongsun Murong threw out a bunch of metallurgy bombs.

Everyone felt their scalps tingle and cold sweat break out.

It was too sinister; they didn't know what the other side felt.

The scene changed.

What appeared before everyone was the explosion, and the image quickly switched to a scene in the water.

They heard the two of them say, "Scary," "Yeah."

Then they discussed how to snatch things, shouting "One, two, three, go."

The scene changed again.

Countless people were fleeing, and countless shouts arose.

The scene was a bit blurry, mainly because it switched too quickly.

But Duke Gels and others could still see Gongsun Murong picking things up.

The things he picked up included parts from battle ships, various crystals, and stored supplies from warehouses.

And the money of the Mitchell Empire.

The scene flickered, accompanied by the background sounds of crying, explosions, and Nalasha's guidance on what to pick up.

Although everyone couldn't understand, they could infer the meaning.

After that, they saw four combat aura practitioners of the seventh rank and fifth level appear on the screen.

Their hearts tightened; the enemy had sent four such warriors to surround two of their children, which was too cruel.

But the scene suddenly became even more flickering.

The viewers stared wide-eyed.

They understood that, as a first-person view, this was Gongsun Murong's body flickering and moving.

Lucia couldn't help but murmur, "So fast, so agile, wow, so many figures, well done, Nalasha!"

These people guessed that this was the effect of Gongsun Murong's own abilities combined with Nalasha's spellcasting.

Was this their combat power? They were still picking things up, so bold.

Suddenly, a shout came, "Wow, Brother Murong, it's too powerful, I can't hold on, let's retreat quickly."

Everyone's hearts almost jumped out of their chests. What happened?

What did Nalasha encounter? Why couldn't she hold on? What was the reason?

The scene returned to the water.

Some of the viewers couldn't help but cover their hearts; it was too scary. What had just happened?

As Gongsun Murong and Nalasha's conversation appeared, everyone understood that the enemy had sent a powerful spellcaster.

And they had also killed three people who had accidentally entered.

Then they saw Nalasha changing her equipment, taking off her deep blue jewelry and putting on earth-colored jewelry, many pieces.

The viewers couldn't help but look at Nalasha, who was still in deep blue, as if she had changed back according to the conversation.

Even Duke Gels was moved by the full set of earth magic equipment of unknown quality.

They had never seen Nalasha use it before. Did this mean that Nalasha and Gongsun Murong could easily handle previous battles?

So what kind of existence had the current enemy sent?

They heard words like "give a shot," "poison."

The scene changed again.

This time, it was facing the people who made the two children use their full strength.

When they saw the clothes the three people were wearing, many of the viewers' eyes widened, and some even shouted.

"Second-level earth spellcaster, third-level earth spellcaster, fourth-level earth spellcaster, oh my god!"

A white light flashed, and the entire scene flickered. When it recovered, a third-level earth spellcaster was hit by a fist.

The image rotated, and a foot was still a distance from the fourth-level earth spellcaster when the spellcaster fell.

The scene changed again, instantly close to the second-level earth spellcaster. A large stone ball hit him, followed by a kick. The person reacted quickly, and an earth defense appeared in front of him, but he was still knocked away.

The distance began to increase, and the scene flickered, showing the underwater view.

The two people lying down had their mouths pried open and were given medicine. The scene moved, and finally, a scene with countless people standing outside appeared.

The image stopped, and the light screen was retracted.

The viewers were silent, the scene was completely quiet.

Everyone was recalling what they had just seen.

Because it was a first-person view, not a bird's-eye view, the scene was chaotic.

But it was precisely this chaos that truly reflected how Gongsun Murong moved.

They could also feel how Nalasha's spellcasting cooperated.

That level of默契 (mòqì,默契 means 'coordination' or 'harmony') to the point of becoming one.

In the battle, it could be seen that the two of them did not communicate at all.

But the sword glow, the spellcasting, the white light, the support, the fist, the spinning kick, the earth spike, and the large ball that crashed down.

It was like a person who practiced both spellcasting and combat aura was using them.

There was no pause, no break, no delay, and no interruption.

"Wow, wow! Does a battle need to be like this? Must it be like this?" After two minutes, Lucia was the first to speak.

Her face was pale, her body was trembling slightly, her small fists were tightly clenched, and her breathing was rapid.

Her voice woke the others.

Duke Gels took several deep breaths, then swallowed hard, trying to force a smile, and patted his granddaughter's head, saying,

"Lucia, don't worry. The level of battle you saw is not related to you. It's about instant life and death.

In the future, you can attack Nalasha freely. She will defend and teach you the true meaning of battle.

Your attacks can't harm Nalasha, who has such a high attack frequency and rhythm.

Oh gods, I follow your guidance, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will treat Nalasha and Gongsun Murong like family. Your faithful believer, Fitzgerald Gels, prays!"

Duke Gels placed his hand on his chest and muttered to the sky.
