NOVPUB"Keep calm!"
Ursula instantly understood what Landry planned to do.
This guy intended to infiltrate the Bulida Mafia’s port on his own.
That massive Mafia territory, even its outskirts, was like a complex labyrinth, completely unsuitable for going in alone.
Ursula knew Landry wasn’t weak, he was a full-fledged sixth-order Magic Artisan, and with his wisdom, it was possible to defeat very strong opponents of the same rank, just like he had on the Bulida Train.
But in the home of the Bulida Mafia, he would shatter upon contact, their sheer numbers could defeat him!
"Trust me, I’m not going to my death,"
Lanci said, looking down into Ursula’s eyes with deliberate emphasis on every word.
Those deep blue eyes were clear and sincere, especially dazzling under the night sky.
...
Ursula found herself at a loss for words, her lips slowly closing.
She was rarely looked at in such a way.
As if he truly saw her.
Not just trusting her, but also asking her to trust him.
Sometimes an argument without reason may be the best kind of persuasion, as this man’s eyes did not seem like those of a foolhardy man throwing his life away, but rather of someone with a clear understanding of his odds of winning.
"I’ll go with you, I can guide you."
Ursula then firmly stated.
Perhaps it seemed like an adventure with slim chances of survival, but she had never really been afraid of anything; her fearlessness at school was never an act.
She was certain that Elsa’s brother truly cared for Elsa, and that was enough to make her trust this man.
...
Lanci hesitated in his gaze.
After all, this was the daughter of the Marquis Roland family, and the sister of the Ninth Army God. If she were to be drawn into danger, it could cause considerable trouble.
Moreover, if Nara’s Secretary found out he’d taken a female student into a Mafia area, he would definitely be in for a scolding; the nature of the situation could be described as quite severe.
"Take me with you; I can smell Elsa’s scent,"
Ursula said succinctly, returning the professor’s gaze.
She was no foolhardy person either!
"Tata, head to the port on the southeast side."
Lanci commanded internally.
After all, it was a grey area where combat below the seventh order could occur at will. Having fought many Black Fist matches in the Holy Silver Vine Arena in Floral City Pariel with Talia, he knew well how to hold back.
The common flight magic used were Wind Magic and Telekinesis magic, and Talia, being more skilled in specialized categories than elemental ones, used Levitation Magic from the Telekinesis category.
Instantly, weeds on the lawn started to swirl in the courtyard, and Lanci and Ursula’s figures blended into the night sky.
"This is trouble, Ursula,"
Lanci immediately turned back and said in mid-air.
"You alone would have difficulty finding her precisely. With me there, you won’t need to be as distracted protecting me, but we can find her much faster, I guarantee it!"
Ursula responded with a satisfied smile.
As the legitimate eldest daughter of the Roland family with the Ancient Griffon Bloodline, she also possessed the potential for Innate Magic, and her strongest [Scouting] magic predetermined her Innate Magic’s Attribute would be Scouting.
Not only could she smell Elsa’s body odor, but also the scent of her Magic Power, or rather, once she locked onto a target, no matter what Concealment Magic was used, it would certainly be found by her.
"You must be mindful of your own safety,"
Lanci urged.
He couldn’t let a student fall into danger or even get hurt just to protect Elsa.
"Got it, you better take care of yourself first, the Mafia is much more dangerous than you think!"
Ursula nodded in reply, speaking from high above.
Despite never imagining that anyone’s brother would take her on such a thrilling venture into the Mafia, she felt more excited than afraid, a feeling she hadn’t experienced in a long time.
