Kira clearly had her own plans and just waved for her sister Yura to leave.

At this moment, as Yura was almost pressing against Kira’s body, a small light orb suddenly appeared in her palm.

The instant the light orb appeared, Kira, with her years of combat experience, immediately reacted.

This light orb was dangerous!

She immediately retreated, trying to jump to the other side of the bed.

But just as she moved, the light orb also suddenly expanded.

From a small light sphere, it became a huge light barrier.

It directly enveloped both Yura below the bed and Kira on the bed.

Kira’s expression didn’t change. Her bare, round toes lightly touched the bed, and instead of retreating, she advanced.

Her fair arms instantly transformed into silver blades, lunging fiercely toward Yura.

But Yura just lightly stepped back and retreated outside the light barrier.

The falling blades were silently blocked by the light barrier.

Seeing that her weapons couldn’t leave even the slightest mark on the light barrier, Kira knew this was bad.

She immediately changed her hand forms—blades became giant axes, with electric sparks occasionally flashing across the axe blades.

But even her most destructive weapons couldn’t break through the light barrier’s defense.

Kira stopped her meaningless attacks and glared angrily at Yura.

“This isn’t magic you can cast. What force have you allied with? What do you want by imprisoning me?”

“You don’t need to know for now.”

Yura curled her fingers and tapped on the light barrier, confirming its stability.

Seeing Yura about to turn and leave, Kira immediately said anxiously, “Don’t act recklessly. Kema is your country too.”

Yura half-turned her head and said quietly, “I know. But your so-called protection is useless against true natural disasters. If we want Kema to truly continue, certain sacrifices are necessary.”

Kira wanted to say more, but Yura had already left the room.

Her voice seemed to be imprisoned in this room as well, unable to reach outside.

Kira stopped struggling and sat back on the bed.

Even calling for help would be useless. If even she couldn’t break the light barrier, others certainly lacked the ability.

“I should have known not to let Saul leave so early.” Kira thought. “…Could it be that Yura waited for Saul to leave before acting against me?”

While Kira sat on the bed thinking about how to resolve this sudden crisis, Yura had already come to the balcony outside the reception room.

She and Kira were biological sisters, sharing fifty percent resemblance in appearance.

The moment Yura stepped onto the balcony, the red velvet cloak on her body transformed into silver half-armor.

The upper half of Yura’s face was also covered by a silver openwork mask.

Combined with her changed aura—full of heroic spirit—she now looked ninety percent similar to Kira.

Standing on the balcony, Yura beckoned and called down a bird that had been circling in the sky.

The bird’s orange-red little feet landed on Yura’s finger, every movement looking like it was dancing.

Yura raised her hand to stroke the bird and said softly, “Tell him that Saul is going to Caugust. For our plan, this is the perfect time to do him a favor.”

The bird tilted its head at Yura, and a flame suddenly appeared in its black pupils.

Yura knew the voice message had been recorded. She raised both hands, letting the bird fly into the sky.

The small bird gradually flew high into the sky until it could no longer be seen.

Such altitude wasn’t something it could adapt to, so after delivering the message, it would die immediately.

After losing sight of the bird, Yura turned to face her personal lady-in-waiting.

She still appeared as Kira, and the personal attendant couldn’t distinguish any difference.

“Notify all departments. I want to convene a court meeting.”

…

Caugust was located in the southern part of the Kema Duchy, occupying a transportation hub and a natural, high-quality port.

So Caugust City had become increasingly prosperous in recent years.

Due to expansion, the entire city was currently divided into inner and outer cities.

Those who couldn’t enter the city envied the outer city residents, while outer city residents envied inner city residents.

Now all nearby cities and towns knew that entering the outer city meant easily earning lots of money.

And ordinary people who entered the inner city could enjoy high-quality living facilities that previously only wizards could access.

At the same time, people who entered the inner city could receive substantial compensation for just doing a little work.

However, recently, Caugust City’s population growth had somewhat declined.

The main reason was that there were no longer suitable nearby towns to relocate people from.

Saul, riding the giant bird Diu Diu, had originally planned to fly past the outer city without hesitation and head to the inner city closer to the mountains and forests.

Between the inner and outer cities was a ring of waterfalls.

Yes, waterfalls.

Because the inner city had been artificially raised ten meters over the past two years, combined with the tall walls surrounding the city, people in the outer city couldn’t see the situation of those living inside the inner city at all.

But when he saw the massive changes that had occurred in Caugust City and the huge formation that blocked external visual observation using magic, he changed his mind.

He had Diu Diu land in a small town outside the outer city, planning to leave Keli there while he went to Caugust alone.

“Hmm? Why aren’t you taking me? I’m quite interested in Caugust. They remove radiation from magical tools before giving them to ordinary people—won’t this really cause problems?”

“Problems are certain. After all, there’s currently no effective magic that can completely remove radiation emitted by spells and magical power. Ordinary people definitely can’t handle long-term exposure.” Saul explained. “But then again, in the eyes of Bayton Academy’s leaders, be it inner city or outer city ordinary people are just consumables to them. Like magic crystals.”

Coming from the Kema Duchy with her own family and reasonably good relationships with relatives, Keli naturally wouldn’t truly treat ordinary people as consumables.

But she also understood the cruelty of the wizard world and didn’t voice saintly opinions about wanting to save people.

She couldn’t save people, nor would she use her close relationship with Saul to order him to save others.

“It seems the inner city situation isn’t as good as outer city people imagine.” But her face still showed a mocking smile. “Blocking it so tightly—it’s definitely not to prevent magical tool technology from leaking, but to prevent outsiders from seeing the real situation inside and giving up on becoming inner city consumables.”

Saul nodded, saying in perfect agreement, “Exactly. So you stay outside first. This town is mostly empty—you can stay here and continue studying the magic book I gave you.”

After thinking, Saul asked again, “Do you need me to leave Ann to keep you company?”

Keli had originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she proactively requested, “Can I have Agu keep me company instead?”

Saul was startled. “Why Agu?”

“He’s the library ghost—he definitely knows a lot.”

Saul understood. Keli was treating Agu as a mobile dictionary.

He had intended to leave Ann because her combat ability was strongest.

But since Keli requested this…

“Then I’ll leave both Ann and Agu with you… Don’t experiment on them!”

Saul raised his finger in solemn warning.

After all, just two days ago, Keli had tormented poor Herman until he cried and complained to Saul!
