Chapter 22 - Bounty
update icon Updated at 2025/4/1 11:10:12

I walked into the bookstore's toilet, removed the disguise from my face, and then changed into my clothes, then I walked out again.

Seeing me actually appear from inside the toilet, Aliyah eyes are wide open.

"I thought that it was someone else who went inside ......"

"I spent some points on the Transfiguration."

"Your taste is really unique."

"Same to you."

In fact, I already saw them after I came inside, but it seems that Aliyah did not look at my name carefully, so she did not notice that I have disguised myself.

Few people will come to this store, and we are now on its second floor, there is no one expect us.

The people present are Aliyah, Princess Cher and Yaling, why these three guys always stay together?

"Finally, you come, is there a secret door in the toilet?"

Princess Cher looked at me strangely and spoke.

"I disguised myself."

"Oh, so that is way. By the way, it's better for you to walk around in disguise."

"No need for it. ...... Do you mean those guys in the high-grade group?"

"High-grade group?"

Princess Cher frowned for a moment, then asked.

"I see, you mean the match after the grade competition, ah, that is also a problem. But right now, it's better for you to care about the problem at hand."

"My problem at hand?"

"Yes."

Saying that, she put her hand on t her storage ring, then took out a worn parchment.

"See for yourself, this is what dad gave me early this morning and told me to give it to you."

I took the parchment and was instantly shocked when I opened it.

Underworld Bounty-Fir

Bounty: 1,000,000 gold coins

There is also a magic image crystal inlaid on it, and my image is directly displayed after I opened the parchment.

It is really clear, looking at my expression ...... is it recorded in my yesterday’s battle?

"It's really cheap, only one million."

"You actually care about the bounty itself!"

"Then should I be amazed at this guy’s photographing skill?"

"You ......"

Princess Cher rubbed between her eyebrows.

"Are you tired of living when your life is on the line but you still have time to joke?"

"Of course not, but I can't do nothing about that. I don't know who exactly put a bounty on me, and even if I know, it's impossible for me to have one million to keep others from killing me."

"That's why I told you to disguise, you need to hide first, then come back tomorrow "

"The key is to where should I hide. The person who can put a bounty on my head in the underworld world must be deeply related to the underworld itself, even if I can avoid this time, I already have history with him, even if he lost the match, he probably won’t remove the bounty, it is possible that he even may increase the bounty on my head."

"...... indeed, this is also a problem."

"By the way, let me ask you one thing."

"What?"

"Does the state mage of your empire have a high social position?"

"State mage? You mean those old monsters who hide in the magic tower for several years and never come out? They can command a team of thousands of people, their status is the same level as a viscount, and they have priority for the transfer of supplies. But those old guys basically never come out except for doing magic research and testing their new magic in battle."

"I see, so what happens if it's one of your country's state mages that being wanted?"

"Then surely we would have to send someone to find the person who issued the bounty...... wait a minute, what did you say?"

I laughed and then took out the proof of the state mage I got yesterday.

"Your father ...... is really very far-sighted, He gave me a safe identity without too much power."

"State mage ...... isn't this a position similar to Lester’s?"

Yaling, who was on the side, said.

"By the way, that guy Lester is still in Chelfa?"

"He seems to have appeared once, saying that he is going to practice and just left, after that I don't know."

"Is that so ......"

This culprit actually ran away on his own after resurrecting, damn, he actually left all the mess to me.

Forget it, I can also get to the current level because of this.

"Wait wait ...... wait a minute, you said my dad that bastard gave you this yesterday? I'm not sure what he was thinking! Why a state mage? At least give you a court mage!"

"...... I don't want to be his personal bodyguard."

"What's wrong with that, there are so many benefits, many resources, many food and drink."

"...... Anyway, I don't like it. By the way, so the reason your dad gave this to me is that he was going to tell me I don’t have to worry about it or tell me to work it out myself?"

"I don't know, let me contact him."

After saying that, Princess Cher clapped her hands twice, the young girl named Two actually suddenly walked out from behind the bookshelf!

This time I have to admit that I did not know that she was hiding in that place.

"Your Highness, your father has told us about this matter."

She looked at me and then said.

"If he can get through the day safely with his own strength, the emperor will give him one chance to ask for anything."

"What ......"

"Very well, I agree."

I responded with a smile.
