Saint Anna had already started crying.
The black pigs around were all stunned.
They could clearly feel that if before they only might have been taken away by death, now it was like someone had stepped on the gas pedal, sprinting towards the edge of doom at full speed!
The Knight Commander was so angry his beard was flying.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Good! Very good! I didn't expect you were so eager to be my father. Since that's the case, don't blame me for not giving you any more chances!"
"Torture them! Start the torture!" the Knight Commander roared in rage.
"Where's that 'Complete Encyclopedia of Ancient and Modern Torture'?! Follow every punishment in there, one by one! I don't believe they'll still remain defiant!"
This was absolutely outrageous!
In all his years, he had never seen such arrogant prisoners.
They simply didn't show him any respect at all!
At that moment.
Agonizing screams filled the sky.
What a sin! What a terrible sin!
...
Meanwhile.
At Lakeside Town.
"Lady Nanako, those cursed residents are being held there!"
The young mage girl beside Nanako angrily pointed ahead.
Lynn and Nanako immediately looked in the direction she was pointing.
Nanako was shocked.
She said angrily, "A pig farm?! Are you saying that horrible woman locked up all the residents in a pig farm?"
The young mage girl said hatefully, "Yes, they said they needed to temporarily gather the residents who were cursed into pigs, but I never imagined they would actually treat people like livestock..."
Nanako ground her teeth furiously, saying, "Those terrible people, Nanako has lost all respect for them!"
"I'm going to rescue the residents right now!"
With that, Nanako grabbed her thick staff aggressively and was about to charge angrily towards the pig farm.
[Oh heavens, this silly loli is too reckless!]
[Please, I just went through so much effort to show my master the correct way to handle things, and you've already forgotten?!]
[The jianghu isn't about fighting and killing, it's about human relationships - if something can be solved with status, there's no need for violence!]
Lynn was extremely frustrated.
He reached out and grabbed one of Nanako's pigtails.
Nanako immediately lost her footing, her center of gravity shifted backward, and she fell hard with a thud.
"Ouch."
Tears welled up in Nanako's eyes as she rubbed her bottom, then turned her head with puffed cheeks to glare angrily at her disciple.
"Disciple, don't pull master's hair!"
Lynn sighed helplessly.
He went over to help the loli master up.
Lynn brushed off the dust from her clothes and said gently:
"Master, now is not the time to openly confront the Order Church. Though we're not afraid of them, too many mosquitoes can still be annoying - it's not worth getting ourselves dirty over this."
Nanako paused, instinctively turning her head away from that gentle gaze, saying, "Then what should we do..."
Lynn smiled slightly and reached into his pocket to pull out an emblem.
"Illusion magic."
...
A few minutes later.
Nanako looked at the face in the mirror that was identical to Saint Anna's, examining it from different angles and poking at it while mumbling to herself.
She really didn't like how she looked now.
The young mage girl's eyes lit up with little stars, (✪ω✪) saying: "Lady Nanako is amazing, you really look exactly like that horrible woman!"
Nanako started, then blushed slightly, saying, "Not really, it's just moderately impressive."
That's right! Illusion magic!
Although mages typically focus their energy on one school of magic in their later stages,
Following the principle of well-rounded development in virtue, intelligence, physical education, arts and labor, they naturally learn some spells from other schools as well.
Illusion magic is the specialty of trickster mages.
However, for a city-breaking level mage like Nanako, casting a few visual deceptions to take on someone else's appearance was quite effortless.
After a while, Nanako put her hands on her hips, her ahoge suddenly springing up as she said in a crisp voice:
"Disciple, now we can go in openly and rightfully, right?!"
Lynn looked at her with dead fish eyes and said, "No, Master, there are too many flaws."
Nanako started, pulling out a mirror from her pocket saying, "But Master thinks I look very similar!"
Lynn sighed helplessly.
He walked over.
Reached out and grabbed that unruly ahoge.
Nanako instantly deflated like a balloon, the mirror in her hand falling to the ground with a clatter.
Lynn said seriously, "Such an obvious flaw shouldn't be exposed so carelessly! Anyone paying attention would notice something's wrong immediately! What normal person has something like this growing out of their head?!"
Nanako (▼ヘ▼#) said: "Don't touch Nanako's ahoge!!"
Lynn sighed helplessly.
Swish swish swish—
He quickly tied the ahoge into a butterfly knot to prevent it from sticking up, then took out a hair tie, snapped it on, and put a hat on Nanako.
This way, no matter how hard Nanako tried, the ahoge absolutely wouldn't be able to stand up.
Nanako asked blankly, "Now there shouldn't be any more flaws, right?"
The young mage girl also nodded vigorously, saying, "I think it's perfect now too!"
Lynn crossed his arms and shook his head, saying, "No, there's still one very big flaw."
Nanako and the young mage girl were shocked and asked in unison, "Where?"
Lynn's gaze shifted to Nanako's chest.
Nanako started, also instinctively looking down.
"..."
"..."
A brief silence.
There really wasn't any obstruction at all - you could see the ground instantly!!
It was so flat there was barely a ripple, so perfect you might wonder if a Boeing 747 could land there!
Nanako: "..."
The young mage girl's eyes also lit up as she said, "Yes! Yes! They're really too small!"
As expected of Lady Nanako's disciple!
Such a huge flaw.
She hadn't noticed it earlier!
It seems Lady Nanako's disciple often pays attention to things others wouldn't easily notice!
Lynn smiled and said, "Master, if it's difficult to change, don't force yourself, after all..."
[After all, Master, you have absolutely no experience with being bigger, hahaha! (*๓´╰╯`๓)]
[It's like asking someone who's been blind since birth to describe the scenery outside - it's simply asking the impossible!]
[After all, they were this way a hundred years ago and will still be this way a hundred years from now - loli master just unconsciously overlooked it! Hahahahaha!]
Click click—
Nanako gradually clenched her fists and ground her teeth, saying:
"It's just some trivial detail, if Nanako wanted to change it, it would only take a slight movement of her finger!"
Saying this, Nanako glared with puffed cheeks and raised her hand.
Casting illusion magic.
"Transform!"
Whoosh—
A flash of magical energy passed.
Nanako raised her head proudly, asking, "How about now?"
The young mage was stunned and said, "Um... Lady Nanako, I think you should look for yourself..."
Nanako started, instinctively looking down.
"..."
Immediately Nanako's expression froze in place.
If there was at least a slight curve before,
Now it was truly as flat as a polished lake surface.
So flat that even with precise logical calculations, you'd have trouble finding even the tiniest arc!
"You must be kidding!" Nanako became anxious.
"One more time! I refuse to believe I'll fail again!"
Whoosh—
A flash of magical light passed.
Nanako said proudly, "How about now?"
The young mage girl screamed, "Wow!! They're even smaller! Even smaller!!"
