NOVEL NEXT Chapter 91.2
“Isaaaac…”
At Shuri’s glaring gaze, Isaac, who had been whispering to the Blue team, clicked his tongue.
He probably didn’t want to get candy banned again.
“Even if not that, it’s still an accomplishment. You know? The basics of politics are clearing debts! Just by rescuing the prince, the Magic Empire has already incurred a debt from us!”
“!!”
They had no idea what thuggish sovereign theory he had learned, but the Blue team finally seemed to understand Isaac’s intentions.
That’s right! Not only would completing the mission shock them, but they had also accomplished a national feat! With this, they could completely trample the Papacy’s arrogance upon returning!
“Then we should immediately report that we rescued the prince of the Magic Empire…”
“Shh.”
Isaac brought his index finger to his lips and grinned slyly.
When he stopped them, the Blue team looked at him with confused expressions.
Shh??
“Don’t tell them?”
“Right.”
“…???”
The Blue team stared at Isaac like he was crazy.
Didn’t he just say they had accomplished something, so they should use that to their advantage? Why was he now telling them not to say anything?
However, Isaac’s eyes sparkled with mischief.
“I said the Gold Faith had set a trap to ruin our mission, right?”
“Um… Yes.”
“While being with the prince of the Magic Empire, what will happen if we go into the trap?”
That… evil bastard.
With one realization, the Blue team grasped all of his schemes.
‘He’s trying to make fools of the Papacy!’
It might be one thing if only they fell into the trap, but for the prince of the Magic Empire to also get entangled? A thorough investigation into who was behind it would definitely take place.
With the Gold Faith as the mastermind behind the trap, just how embarrassed will they be?
However, they were still priests no matter what.
“A trap, is it really true? But it doesn’t seem like they’d really try to kill us.”
Having been poisoned once already, they now trusted Isaac, but there were still limits.
“I’ll believe what you say, but for a priests to attack our allies…”
“If they even consider us allies.”
“!”
The Papacy is the most exclusive and aristocratic of the five major faiths. They didn’t consider anyone besides the Gold Faith to be their people.
At this point, Shuri could only let out a hollow laugh as he looked at Isaac.
“But there’s no way our uncle would make a move when it’s clear he’s the culprit.”
“It’s plenty possible if he has an accomplice.”
“What? An accomplice?”
At the same time, the perceptive Shuri’s eyes widened.
“Don’t tell me the magicians…!”
Could it be that they’re planning to use the magicians to get rid of them?
Isaac smiled as if that was the correct answer.
“Yeah. Well, since they’re such bastards, let me shed some light on their little scheme. But we can’t fight directly since it could escalate into a diplomatic issue.”
“…Then what do we do?”
At those words, Isaac raised both hands.
“It’s a bluff!!!!”
…A bluff?
“What kind of nonsense…”
Bang!!!
“?!”
No sooner had the words left Isaac’s mouth than an explosion rang out not far away.
Simultaneously, the ground shook, and the frozen Blue team had question marks on their faces.
No, what is this…?!
The moment those in shock checked outside the window, they realized the entire situation.
Well, unless they were idiots, they couldn’t miss it.
Smoke was rising from the place where the magicians had set up… what else could it be?!
“An explosion?! At the magicians’ camp?”
Creak, their turning heads faced Isaac, who was covering the Magic Empire prince’s ears.
Isaac was smiling with his eyes in crescents.
“Hahaha, checkmate! Damn magician! You dare try to take my magic cores?? Rot in hell!”
“?!”
Shit, you crazy bastard!!
But by then, the ambushed magicians’ camp was gritting their teeth.
“We’re under attack!”
“The magic cores we gathered were destroyed!”
“The tools for forming the magic circle were destroyed!”
The question of whose attack it was couldn’t easily be voiced. From the start, they had planned to ambush Isaac’s group shortly.
So they could only think:
‘…Could it be the Blue apprentices?!’
‘Did they catch wind of our plan to ambush them?’
They moved quickly.
If their scheme had already been discovered, then moving as fast as possible was the answer.
‘Conceal!’
If the opponent had been regular soldiers, they might have called off the mission after being discovered, but the enemy was merely apprentice priests!
It would be better to take the offensive and eliminate them all!
Finally, the male magician who had met with Isaac shouted.
“Attack!”
The magicians hurriedly moved.
And the moment they spotted the Blue apprentices, the magicians tried to use attack magic immediately.
However, at that very moment.
“You bastards, who dares to attack!”
“…?!”
The magicians flinched.
A child’s voice?
The magicians tried to ignore it and attack, but the one who appeared to be the leader hastily stopped them.
“Stop!”
“!”
They seemed flustered upon seeing the young child among Isaac’s group.
Hearing the voice, they thought it couldn’t be true, but if their eyes didn’t deceive them…
“The, the youngest prince?!”
“The prince? Why is someone like him here…”
“Why are you with the priests!”
But… the situation seemed a bit strange.
No, it was extremely strange.
“If you value this brat’s life, stay right where you are!”
Isaac was holding a sword to the prince’s neck and grinning… What?!
“Can’t you hear me?! Drop everything if you want to keep this brat alive, you bastards!”
Shuri bit his lip tightly and looked up at the sky.
Lord, please take that bastard first.
