Chapter 266 - Alices help (3) (1/2)

”Let us go!”

Both Auron and Alice went to the Skemvil. They used the teleportation gate to the nearest town and went to the village on foot.

As they were rushing, in only less than two hours, they arrived at the village. Alice wanted to go to Skemvil first before going to their destinations. Auron had already urged her to immediately went to the bandit's location. However, she refused.

Alice insisted on going to the village first. She promised Auron that it would be only a short trip. In the end, Auron had no choice but to give in.

It was already a good thing for Alice wanted to come here. What if Auron annoyed her and she became angry, she could cancel her intention to helping Auron.

Actually, the reason why Alice wanted to come to the village first was because of Auron's story. Auron had told her that her apprentice came to the village because he had to join the training.

Since there was a free time today, her apprentice decided to go hunting. However, he didn't want to hunt alone, so he called Auron to join. Then, at that time, the bandits captured them.

Alice wanted to verify the story first. Both Alice and Auron arrived at the village. Because it was already night, there were no people on the street.

Auron and Alice went to the village's head house and asked about where the corporal resided. Then, they immediately went to the house where the corporal stayed.

Knock... Knock... Alice knocked at the door. Not long after, the door opened, and the corporal went out. However, as soon as the corporal saw Alice, he saluted her respectfully.

”Ms. Alice, why are you here?” Corporal Jack was shocked to see Alice here. He asked her politely.

Alice looked at Auron and hinted him to stay outside. Meanwhile, Alice and Corporal Jack went inside the house to talk.

Auron had no choice but to wait when Alice and Corporal Jack went inside the house. However, what confused him was the fact that the corporal was so polite to Alice. He knew that Alice was a strong mage.

But, the corporal's act showed that there was something else besides being respectful to the stronger people. However, Auron didn't know about it.

”I want to ask you something!” Alice started.

”Please tell Ms. Alice, I will try my best to help you!” Corporal Jack politely answered.

Yes, Auron's suspicion was right on point. Alice was famous among the military. Even though she was only a major, she was recognized for being a strong fire mage. Moreover, she was among one of the few mages that could fight in close combat.

However, there was something else that made her famous. It was because she was General Elbert's granddaughter. Although Alice didn't say it herself, but it was already spread among the soldiers. It became an open secret.

Alice started to ask her question, ”Do you know this soldier?”

”Yes, I know about him. Is there something wrong with him? Did he offend you?”
