Chapter 207: Chapter 200 Goodbye, Cage!

Kuka City, within Cresce’s House.

“If it’s just this ring, there’s no problem.”

Cress lowered her head to glance at the black ring on her hand; she did not hesitate for long.

Although it was an heirloom passed down within the family, it was of no help to Cress’s current predicament.

Perhaps it harbored some secret, but what was more crucial now was to ensure Liz’s safe departure from Kuka City.

“I still want to ask, how do you plan to take the two of us away?”

...

Cress stared into Lis’s eyes and asked, given that Liz was an ordinary person unable to defend herself should they encounter danger during their escape.

“I came with the Feis merchant group, I can take you both into the group.”

“After all, it’s the Feis merchant group, not even Viscount Kuka could block us at will.”

Lis said with a smile, taking two people with him wasn’t a big deal, and what could Viscount Kuka do even if he pursued them?

“A convoy from the Feis Guild?”

Cress naturally knew the name of the kingdom’s number one guild, backed by none other than the Feis Royal Family.

Liz sat aside quietly watching the two negotiate, not speaking, just curiously gazing at Lis with wide eyes.

“If it’s urgent, we can head to the convoy now.”

Lis nodded with a smile and added:

“I have a box-type carriage in the convoy, you two can stay in the carriage the whole time.”

“The convoy’s destination is Viscount Oraya’s territory in the Northern Kingdom, and you can either follow the convoy there or leave midway.”

“Heading north?”

Cress hesitated somewhat, as her initial plan was actually to go to Bright City.

“Since it’s the Feis convoy, did you start from Bright City?”

“Yes, that’s correct.”

Lis nodded his head in affirmation.

“Will the convoy return to Bright City, and could Liz and I accompany the convoy there?”

Cress promptly inquired:

“I can offer compensation!”

“That shouldn’t be a problem.”

Lis stroked his chin. After all, they could just avoid entering Kuka City on the way back, it was merely a matter of giving an instruction to the convoy manager, Roque, to look after the two women.

Lis wouldn’t be accompanying the convoy all the way; he had many more things to do.

“Then that’s settled.”

Cress made the decision immediately, knowing full well that she couldn’t ensure Liz’s safety relying solely on her own strength.

Moreover, she harbored an ominous premonition; lingering in Kuka City any longer might spell trouble.

She had seen for herself Lis’s capabilities just a short while ago, not to mention his potential special status as a Prophet.

Even though Cress didn’t interact with many people, she could still sense that Lis’s identity was extraordinary.

Just by bringing up Viscount Kuka, he didn’t display any reverence or worry; it seemed the local lord was of little concern to him.

“Then please wait a moment.”

Lis watched as Cress pulled Liz into the room to pack, but he wasn’t in a hurry, leisurely sipping his tea as he waited for the two.

When the two finished packing and came out, they had changed into different attire.

Black cloaks with hoods wrapped tightly around the two of them, presumably to avoid being recognized on the way to the convoy.

They didn’t have any luggage with them, likely because each had a storage ring to hold everything they needed.

Lis didn’t mind this, and said to them:

“If you’re ready, then we should set out.”

Cress took one final look around the small cottage she’d lived in since childhood, locked the door without much hesitation, and said:

“Let’s go.”

As Cress spoke, Liz reached out her delicate little hand from under the cloak, grasping Cress’s hand and giving it a small squeeze for comfort.

Lis pretended not to notice the intimate gesture between the girls, though he was already aware of their relationship.

He took out his magic wand and gathered the Magic Power.

Four Rings Magic [Advanced Invisibility]!

This spell was a higher-tier version of the Three-Circle Magic [Invisibility Technique], providing better concealment and making it harder for others to detect.

Lis cast the spell twice, cloaking both Liz and Cress with [Advanced Invisibility].

He had no choice; [Group Invisibility Technique] was a Seven-Circle Magic, and Lis wasn’t currently capable of handling it.

“Just follow me, you’ll be fine. We’ll head straight to the carriage without anyone noticing.”

Lis assured the two behind him. As the spellcaster, he was still able to sense their positions.

Entering invisibility for the first time, Liz was initially panicky, but Cress’s firm grip on her hand soon calmed her.

“Okay.”

This was the first time Lis heard Liz speak, her voice charming with a hint of playfulness.

Lis nodded and started walking towards the hotel where the convoy was stationed.

As they traversed the streets of Kuka City, Cress and Liz, initially tense, began to relax upon realizing that indeed no one around them seemed to notice their presence.

The novelty of the experience was actually quite pleasant.

Lis paid it no mind, ensuring they were closely behind him before heading straight for their destination.

Lis’s luxurious carriage was parked in the hotel’s backyard.

Many from the convoy were drinking and chatting on the first floor of the hotel, greeting Lis upon his return.

Lis smiled back in response but didn’t linger, heading directly to the hotel’s backyard.

Opening the carriage door, and after making sure Liz and Cress were both inside, Lis boarded and shut the door behind them.
