Chapter 330: Abandoned Village

When Alice saw the familiar figure, her face lightened up, but she noticed there were two ladies behind her brother. Instantly the happy and innocent expression she showed before turned into indifferent and coldly gazing at them.

"Who is they?" She saw her brother was using a spell to heal one of those ladies. She looked around and found themselves in the vast meadows.

"Greeting, young lady," Upon seeing Alice hostile gaze, the two of them smiled bitterly and greeted her with awkwardness. Laura that had been a bit recovered, also greeted her, raising her skirt and bowed her head.

Alice was standing under the moon; the silver light shone from the moon completely blended with her fluttered long hair. The moment she crossed her arms around her chest, her fragrance spread and her body emitted an elegant beautiful young lady.

Upon taking a closer look, she was really gorgeous; even Laura and Annie was enchanted by her look for a moment.

They knew their young master had an elder sister, but who knows not only their young master was handsome and attractive, their young lady was the same, even equal with him. They were a perfect couple, but pitifully they were born as pair of siblings.

On the other hand, Alice's expression becomes a bit loosened only after seeing those ladies' attitude. Nevertheless, she did not speak as her eyes began scanning their beautiful figure.

"Are you okay, sister?" After healing Laura, Desmond broke their awkward and intense staring contest. He did not care about these girls' problems as they were still not yet arrived in the safe place.

He first took her hand and held her cheeks, gently checking her condition. In an instant, Alice cold face melted as she just nodded and rubbed her cheeks to his hands while waiting for the process.

"Okay, all good. Now let's move!" Desmond spoke and dragged Alice to run. They have no time to chat or hold a reunion after a long time did not meet each other.

They were running at full speed, making Alice, who had a doubt at first, become realized when she had just recovered her memories back.

Desmond then checked the map before he had already commanded the system to scan the area and found a small village not far from their location.

"Sister, don't use your magic or else we will be noticed," However, just he focused back to the front, he sensed a chilling sensation spread around, and saw Alice almost activated her spell.

Unlike him, who only cast a one-time spell that was a healing spell, from what he observed, his sister seems wanted to cast a continuous spell to help her feet easy to run.

"Sorry, brother," Only this obedient part from his sister he was familiar with it while the other parts completely grow up or rather opposite to her past self.

Alice was running, but it was obvious she was not getting used to it as most of her time was spent studying and learning the spells. Although the academy provided a physical training class, she rarely attended.

Meanwhile, Laura and Annie injure already fully recovered. They also noticed their young lady exhaustion and offered her a hand, but she was rejected them.

"I don't want to become a burner for him," Alice replied in a low tone; the girls were running a bit slow on behind while Desmond was leading in the front. Although there was wind disturbing her voice, Annie and Laura could hear what she said because of their distance.

Alice looked at the two beautiful maids; she had been noticed a long time when she woke up their condition was no better than her. Their face paled while their rough breath could be heard, clearly forcing themselves to run.

While she, who just woke up, had full stamina. It was a shame for her if she could not endure this when compared to these maids.

On the other sides, Desmond did not have time for observing those girls' conversation. His attention was fully focused on the red dots on the map that was heading toward their directions.

Even I kill and silence them, our location and direction will be more exposed. There is a possibility they could predict our destination, he muttered and analyzed the situation.

Felix and his other subordinates could be regarded as smart and cunning to avoid most of the patrols or maybe because they are a team full of men? While he had carried three troublesome girls.

Suddenly when they were running, the sound of something falling was heard. Desmond looked back and found Laura falling to the ground while breathing weakly.

"Young master..." She was then helped by his sister and Annie to get up; her legs already trembled as she barely could open her eyes.

Desmond stopped his track, glanced at the map and then stared at the exhausted Laura," Let me carry her," Within their wide eyes, he took Laura and pigged her on his back like he did on his sister.

The atmosphere of those girls turned silent when Alice glared at Laura and Annie from time to time.

....

After several minutes of walking, a gloomy and lush village surrounded by the mist greeted their view. From the looks, the village seemed to be abandoned because it was located on the border between the North Kingdom and beasts' outer territory.

Alice became a bit scared as she held the tip of her brother clothes. Laura already fainted with a smile on her face. No one knew she was fainted due to the happiness or was having a good dream.

System, scan the area.

[Starting to scan the area...]

On the other hand, Desmond frowned when he saw the village state. He was not a fool who entered a place with this appearance even though they were being hunted by those soldiers.

By looking at the mist surrounding the village, and many howls could be heard from it, what if there was a curse spell placed on their body the moment they entered?

What if they were teleported to another dimension? What if they were being hypnotized? Many scenarios from novels he read flashed in his mind.

[An existence was found, based on the energy, it was uncertainly classified as beasts or other races.]

...

The notifications kept spamming and disturbing his view but soon automatically arranged by the system into a one-panel window. Desmond read those notifications one by one, and the veins on his forehead became more visible.

What is this? Why there is so much strangeness in this world? He thought, but when he did not see any spell was detected, he was a relief. It was easier to deal with a being rather than a mysterious spell.

System used my stats as measurement and tried to simulate what percentage if I entered, As soon Desmond commanded, the system began opening his skills window, stats window, and his energy automatically sucked and spread around.

He could see ripples clashing between his energy and the mist around the village. His attention was fully focused on the system process and sometimes glanced at those girls' condition.
