823 Hijack Part 2 (2/2)

Isabella went pale. She was so scared that she did not even dare to draw the half-sword in her bracelet, much less cast any spells. She was certain that even without all the equipment, he was still more powerful than Tiffany.

The fellow dressed in golden armor was able to pull someone along with him while he flew, and speak calmly throughout. Isabella could not feel any wind gushing past her while they flew and she could confidently calculate that the both of them were flying at a speed of more than one-hundred and eighty miles per hour.

After flying for half an hour, Don suddenly asked, ”What is your name?”

Isabella did not reply so Don tightened his grip. She did not know whether to laugh or cry while she said, ”You said that taking me was the Pope's wish. Don't tell me he told you that you could take anyone you wanted?”

”He wanted me to capture Lex. It seems that you are not her.”

Instantaneously, Isabella felt that she was the unluckiest person in the world. The man was so powerful, yet he was tricked… No, he had not been tricked!

”Lex is in Metatrin City. Let me go and you can go find her yourself. I'm just a small mage. It's useless for you to take me.”

”Small mage? You are a grade-7 sorcerer.” Don refused to loosen his grip. The two of them were more than one-thousand yards high in the sky. To a mage like Isabella, who had yet to fully grasp the technique of flying, it was very dangerous. She did not dare to struggle. She was not sure if she was able to utilize her flying spell in mid-air if the fellow really loosened his grip.

”You are going to bring me back to Tanggulasi even though I'm the wrong person?” When Isabella saw that Don was not berating her viciously, and not about to harm her, she began to try and find out more about Don.

”Of course not. I'm just thinking that now that you are a prisoner, I must gain something first before I can release you in exchange.”

”You… are a knight!” Isabella spoke after gathering all her courage. She could see that he was dressed like a knight from the Holy See. His grade was too high, and she could not tell which order he came from though.

Knights should not speak the way he did.

”Thanks for the compliment. Let's rest for a while.” Don descended sharply. As the speed of descent was so fast, Isabella felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest. She could be the first sorcerer to ever want to vomit because she had been flying too fast.

Don brought Isabella down onto the top of a small mountain. It was less than a few yards wide, and because the mountain was so short, it was covered with bird droppings. It seemed that birds often rested there.

”Have a seat.” Don pointed at the ground that was covered with bird droppings.

Isabella had no choice but to use a cleaning spell before sitting down and looking at Don.

Don slowly pushed his faceguard up to reveal his face. When he saw Isabella staring at his face, he laughed and said, ”You can't possibly recognize me. Those who know me are probably all dead, other than the Pope.”

”Are you a Heavenly Knight?” Isabella knew that there was no way she could escape, so she decided to question him further in order to obtain more information.

”You must be from Tanggulasi, yet you are somehow mixing around with people from Daliang City.” Although Don was shocked that the sorcerer managed to guess his original identity based on his armor. He had no intention of giving her an answer.

Isabella did not answer either. She was entirely sure why she was mixing around with people from Daliang City. She should have been back in Metatrin City. If she was, the kidnapping would not have happened.

”Please do not refuse to answer me. I would be angry,” Don said to Isabella with a smile.

”My apologies, even though I'm now your prisoner, a mage can only answer questions where the answers are certain.” Isabella still had her bond with Saleen to fall back on, so she decided to pluck up her courage and reply Don in a tone that he might not like.

”If it was in the past, I would be more than happy to destroy your pride. Although I have no interest in that anymore, that doesn't mean I will not do it. Tell me your name!”

”Isabella.”

”Very well, Isabella, tell my why Lex has yet to return to Daliang City?” Don was extremely interested in the answer to that question. Although Lex and Saleen were married, it was the provisional capital of Bitter Water Prefecture. The military plans for Bitter Water Prefecture, expeditions, and gathering and collection of resources all took place there. By right, Lex should not be leaving such an important place for such a long time.

Isabella had no idea, but nevertheless, she analyzed, ”Many sorcerers have appeared in Metatrin City. Lex is a mage herself, so she must have gone there to seek advice on matters regarding magic.”

”That makes sense, although it is a lie. The reason why so many sorcerers have appeared in Metatrin City is probably to guard over something. Hehe, although I may not have the ability to go there now, once I have advanced, we will go and find Lex together.”

”You intend to bring me wherever you go?”

”Of course. I am extremely interested in magic as well. Let's exchange pointers during this period of time,” Don smiled and pointed his finger at Isabella's forehead.
