Combat Maid Harem

Chapter 348 - Challenging A City Lord



"Fraud! I don\'t believe it!" the city guard captain shouted.

"This is true! Don\'t you know that a mage pin wouldn\'t work if it\'s not in the hands of the owner?" Olgar reasoned.

"I… Inform Healer Natasha!"

The city guard captain was stumped, so he turned around and ordered one of his subordinates to call Healer Natasha. He also knew that mage pins are impossible to be faked.

"Yes, Sir!" a guard responded and entered back into the city.

Meanwhile, the other city guards around them took their stances with their swords because they were nervous as they could be against an Arch Mage.

Lawrend\'s entourage waited patiently. Five minutes later, an elderly woman walked out of the gate.

It was none other than Healer Natasha. Lawrend, Olgar, and Aleshia immediately recognized her.

"Oh my?"

Healer Natasha stared at Lawrend and Olgar with an amused look on her face. Suddenly, her body morphed, and she turned back to her youthful appearance.

As she was wearing a loose cloak, it perfectly fitted her when she transformed.

The city guards around them opened their mouths widely in shock. They couldn\'t believe that an old woman suddenly turned into a beautiful lady in front of them.

She walked towards Lawrend\'s group and stopped in front of them.

"Lawrend, Olgar, and Aleshia, it has been a while," Natasha said.

"Healer Natasha, nice to meet you again," Lawrend replied.

"Healer Natasha." Olgar nodded his head in greeting.

"Thank you again for helping my little sister," Aleshia said.

"What brings all of you back?" Natasha asked with a smile on her face.

She observed Elena, Aezel, Humility, Amene, Grape, and Ramiela before briefly glancing at Kenova.

"I\'m now an Arch Mage," Olgar replied to her.

"Oh, right. They called me because there was an Arch Mage here."

"And I want to take over control of this city," Olgar continued.

"Pretty ambitious, are we?" Natasha replied and squinted her eyes at him.

"Yes. This is where I was born, and I want to take care of it," Olgar replied.

"Interesting. I was also born here. So you\'re saying that you want to challenge me?" Natasha asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes. I want to challenge you," Olgar replied.

"What would you lose?" Natasha asked.

"I will give up and not bother you anymore," Olgar replied.

"Really? Let\'s discuss this further inside," Natasha replied casually.

She led them inside, and they rode a short carriage ride to the Noble District and into her mansion there.

"Welcome to my humble abode," Natasha said as they entered her home.

It was a wooden mansion with extravagant decorations, and it was the symbol of wealth in this city.

"Aren\'t your terms unfair?" Natasha asked after sitting on a chair in the living room.

There were only two chairs in front of Natasha, so Lawrend and Olgar were the ones who sat.

Kenova and Lawrend\'s maids stood behind the two of them.

"Why?" Olgar asked.

"I\'m not gaining anything if you lose," Natasha replied.

"That\'s correct, but as the current de-facto City Lord of this city, you have the responsibility to respond to challenges," Olgar replied.

"Fair enough. What challenge do you want to challenge me with?" Natasha asked.

"I have no idea what would be fair to challenge a Healer Arch Mage," Olgar replied.

"I\'m not just a healer. I\'m actually a Light Arch Mage, but I inherited a rare magic book about healing," Natasha replied.

"Does that mean that you can fight?" Olgar asked with hopeful eyes.

Fighting against her would make all of this simple.

"Are you sure about it? I had been an Arch Mage for a lot of decades," Natasha replied.

"Even so, you focused on healing magic. It\'s not decided that I\'ll lose to you," Olgar replied.

"Fine. We\'re holding the duel at the land southeast of the city next week. There shouldn\'t be anyone living there," Natasha said.

"Thank you," Olgar replied.

"Anyways, is that her, Lawrend?" Natasha asked and pointed at Ella.

"Yes. This is Aleshia\'s little sister," Lawrend responded.

"Ella, she\'s the healer that made that potion you drank before you were healed," Aleshia said as she held her hand.

"Thank you for saving me from suffering!" Ella said and bowed to Natasha deeply.

"Fufufufu. No worries. Such a cute kid like you deserves to live a happy life," Natasha replied with a smile on her face.

"Healer Natasha, how is Guild Leader Reon?" Lawrend asked.

After they left Sheron Port City, he hadn\'t heard any news about him anymore.

"He is already fully healed. An Arch Mage won\'t die that fast," Natasha replied.

"I\'m glad. Though, I don\'t know how to approach him now…" Lawrend muttered and glanced at Aezel.

"What do you mean? Reon likes you, Lawrend. You\'re very talented, and he\'s proud that he was the first to recognize your talent," Natasha replied.

"It\'s nothing." Lawrend shook his head.

Healer Natasha didn\'t see it when Aezel, Reon, and that Sword Guild Leader fought together. Otherwise, she would\'ve recognized her immediately.

"How about you? I can feel that you\'re quite… strong now? Did you become a True Mage already?" Natasha asked as she looked him up and down.

"Yes. I managed to enroll in the Undrasil Mage Academy," Lawrend replied.

"Splendid! I enrolled in that academy a century ago. Though, I wasn\'t able to graduate," Natasha replied.

"Really? That\'s a shame," Lawrend replied.

"Okay. All of you must\'ve been on a long journey. You can visit me anytime later," Natasha said and stood up.

"Thank you for the help earlier. We\'re going now," Lawrend bid his farewell and left with his entourage.

"That was awkward.. She wasn\'t ready to receive so many people at once," Olgar muttered when they exited her mansion.
