"Don't worry, the little princess's condition is much better than we imagined."

Looking at Tika with a metal mask on her face, Zhou Ming gave her a reassuring look.

"what's going on?"

Tikka asked.

Zhou Ming rotated the letter placed on the table and presented it in front of Tika.

"I don't know most of the human characters, please read it to me." Tika shook his head.

"I'll just give you the general idea."

Zhou Ming said: "The little princess Aaliyah is now in the hands of a noble from the Dolan Empire. The other party bought Princess Aaliyah at an auction for a full 15 million gold coins."

"15 million gold coins?"

Tikka was stunned. The price was ten times higher than that of ordinary elves, and he quickly asked: "Where is the buyer? Who is the buyer?"

"The buyer was a duke. Fortunately, the duke was a duchess from the Dolan Empire, and she bought Aaliyah."

"Duchess?"

Tika's face changed greatly: "Why did the duchess buy Aaliyah? What is her intention?"

Although she was mentally prepared, Tika still felt nauseous, especially after hearing that the buyer was a woman. Instead of breathing a sigh of relief like Zhou Ming, she felt even more nauseous.

"The other party's name is Modesty Teresa. People generally call her Duchess Teresa. She is very powerful in the Dolan Empire. She is one of the eight real dukes. Not only is she beautiful, she is also a powerful legendary mage. , in the Dolan Empire, few people dare to provoke her."

"More than that, in the Dolan Empire, Duchess Teresa has a special hobby that has made many people jealous. Yes, she has a strong pedophilia, especially beautiful and cute girls, it is often difficult to escape her poisonous claws. "

"It is said that after many girls fell into her hands, some disappeared mysteriously, and some suddenly aged, as if their youth had been robbed. However, Duchess Teresa, who is in her sixties, has always maintained the youthfulness and beauty of 20 or 30 years old."

"In the Dolan Empire, as long as parents mention Duchess Theresa's name in front of their children, they will stop crying."

"Princess Aaliyah fell into her hands."

Zhou Ming said.

Tika's face changed wildly.

Princess Aaliyah actually fell into the hands of that kind of perverted devil?

"No, I'm going to the Dolan Empire to rescue Princess Aaliyah!"

Tika decided to leave now! She can't waste a second, she must rescue the little princess!

"etc!"

Zhou Ming stopped her: "Tika, don't leave in a hurry. If you go there alone, you will only be in danger. Didn't you hear what I just said? That duchess is a powerful legend. Mage, you cannot be her opponent."

"Then you have to go! I am Aaliyah's guard. She is in danger. How can I ignore her safety? Now that I have the news about her, of course I have to save her immediately!"

Tika said firmly, life in this castle is good, and her strength has already returned to its peak. If she doesn't save the princess now, when will she have to wait?

"Tika! It's not that I don't want you to save her, you are too weak on your own, and the possibility of successfully rescuing her is very low!"

Zhou Ming said: "Tika, if you believe me, then wait for me a little longer. I will accompany you to the Dolan Empire. I will find a way to help you rescue Aaliya. Tika, rescuing people requires brute force." No, you have to use your brain and prepare some money... I have all these things, but the premise is that you have to wait for me for a while and wait for me to finish the things at hand."

"As for the safety of the little princess, you really don't have to worry so much for the time being. She will be fine in a short time. Please wait for me for a moment."

This semester's courses at Brno School of Magic are almost coming to an end. Recently, Zhou Ming was looking for the old fox and asked for a letter of recommendation to go to 'Gray School of Magic' as an exchange student for six months, but the old fox actually hesitated to give it and said he was worried. He never comes back, or stays for a long time, which is a bit worrying anyway.

After all, whether it is the Yadud Kingdom or the Brno Magic School, this boy's role is too important, and the associated interests are too great. Who dares to let him wander outside for too long?

One or two months is acceptable, but half a year is really difficult for the old fox to agree to.

Zhou Ming estimated that it would take him a few days to convince the old fox.

In addition, it would take at least two months for him to deal with the various matters at hand, and it was impossible for him to go to the Dolan Empire immediately.

So he wanted Tika to wait a little longer.

Tika shook her head repeatedly.

She understood what Zhou Ming meant and what he said made sense, but she really couldn't stay in this castle any longer. She couldn't sit still!

Of course, after a few months of getting along with her, she had seen the abilities of Zhou Ming, a human being who was 30 years younger than her. It had indeed opened her eyes a lot. She also believed that if this man agreed to be with her, The probability of going to the Dolan Empire and rescuing the little princess is definitely much higher than if she rescued it alone!

This man's intelligence is comparable to that of 10 great magicians.

but……

Now she just wants to go to the Dolan Empire to find out about the little princess and find out how to rescue her. Once she sees an opportunity, she will take action without hesitation...even if it is "reckless".

Because she really didn’t want to see the daughter of the noble Moon Queen and the future Moon Queen (yes, she hid something from Zhou Ming here, namely: the Moon Queen only has one daughter), and how many more people would be in the hands of humans. A day of hardship.

So she had to go there immediately.

Zhou Ming couldn't stop it.

Therefore, after confirming Tika's determination, Zhou Ming did not stop him and had no choice but to say: "In this case, Tika, you can go over there first, but I hope you will not take any action in the first two or three months. The main purpose is to inquire about information. When I get there and meet you, how about we act together?"

Tika nodded: "Okay, that's okay."

If she was in the Dolan Empire, she could still wait for two or three months. After all, integrating into the local area and spying on information was not something that could be done in a short time.

In addition, recently, Tika has also been working hard to learn human language, but she still doesn't know many sentences, and the communication barriers are still huge, making her unable to integrate into humans.

So Zhou Ming sent someone to go with her to help her investigate.

Warrior Captain Gazef.

Apart from sending him to go with him, Zhou Ming couldn't think of anyone who could stop Tika in time and tell her to wait at the critical moment.

"Sir, I will complete the task of taking good care of Ms. Tikka."

After someone called Gazef over and told him about the mission, Gazef nodded to make it clear.

Zhou Ming emphasized again: "Gadeff, your mind is much calmer than Tika's. I hope this can be put to good use. Tika's character is too impatient, or maybe elves are all impatient, but no matter what, Before I get to the Dolan Empire, I must stop Tika and never let her act rashly!"

"All actions will be arranged after I deliver it to the Dolan Empire!"

"I understand, sir, please don't worry, I will stop Tikka even if it costs my life."

Gazef said solemnly.

"Okay! I believe you!"

Zhou Ming nodded, immediately relieved.

"Sir, I'm leaving now."

Gazef put his remaining left hand on his chest, bowed slightly, and prepared to retreat.

"Wait~"

Zhou Ming stopped him and said to him: "You haven't asked me where Defoe has been in the past two days. In fact, it's nothing to ask. I asked him to go to the Kingdom of Cadoun to find out about your family. Wait for us After finishing the affairs of the Dolan Empire, we will pass by the Kingdom of Cardorn, and then..."

Zhou Ming paused and said, "I will find a way to reunite you with your family."

Defoe was one of the four warriors under Gazef. Zhou Ming sent Defoe out on a mission. Gazef did not say a word about it, not because he had a cold personality, but because he knew the difference between master and servant: whether Fitz or Defoe, as well as Gazef himself, had owners as early as the day Zhou Ming bought them from the slave trader Ward.

"Thank you, sir."

Gazef's body shook slightly, but he immediately calmed down and bowed deeply to him in a calm tone.

Looking at Gazef's back as he left the study, Zhou Ming nodded. This is why he admired this warrior captain, not only because of his integrity, but also because of his strength no matter what time or difficulties he encountered. All middle-aged men know how to stick to their duties and hide their emotions.

Doesn't he want to see his family? Doesn't he want revenge? Of course he wanted to, but he would not be like Tika, who would rush to leave as soon as he heard any disturbance. He would just turn his longing and hatred into more than 12 hours of hard training in the martial arts field every day.

No one would believe that the warrior commander who lost one of his right arms was now close to the peak of his strength.

How could Zhou Ming not appreciate him?

…

two days later

September 22nd.

On the griffon landing platform of the Continental Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Next to the three adult griffons, a group of staff were making final preparations before taking off.

Among the three gryphons, one was occupied by the navigator - a thin man wearing a windproof suit. In Zhou Ming's eyes, this skinny navigator probably weighed less than 60 kilograms.

The other two gryphons were the mounts of Tikka and Gazef, one for each.

An episode occurred here: Since the maximum load capacity of the Griffin is 100 kilograms, each passenger must be weighed before boarding the back of the Griffin.

Elf Tika weighs 67.8 kilograms, plus some luggage and items, the total weight is 97.6 kilograms, and he can ride a griffon.

But Gazef's weight, after throwing away his luggage, was still slightly over the limit, reaching 106 kilograms.

So he took off his thick cold-proof clothes and wore only two singles and a pair of shorts, and his weight dropped to 102 kilograms.

After two more trips to the toilet and an hour of strenuous exercise, my weight dropped to 100.5 kilograms.

For the remaining kilogram, no matter how much Zhou Ming asked for more money, the person in charge still wouldn't let Gazef sit on the gryphon, because the gryphon's weight limit is 100 kilograms, and no more than one gram would be allowed.

While Zhou Ming was arguing with the person in charge, Gazef asked Tika for a dagger, and shaved off the meticulously groomed hair on his head and the beard on his lips that highlighted the mature temperament of a man. Clean and tidy.

When he stood on the weighing platform again, his weight was exactly 100 kilograms.

Looking at the bald Gazef, Zhou Ming shook his head and said, "This price is too high."

Gazef patted the back of his head, smiled slightly and said, "This is God's will."

"goodbye!"

Looking at the three gryphons fluttering towards the sky, Zhou Ming waved his hand.
