Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage

"Liu Yang, are you leaving already?" The spider queen was hugging Liu Yang standing. Ivy and Kliri were also together.

The quartet was wearing clothes as there were children in the place, Little One, and Little Princess. The two small creatures grew during the time they spent inside the time-room.

Little One did not like the form of a big mouse like a dog, so she kept her small mouse form.

Little Princess grew up a little and looked like a small child. Before, it was the size of a palm. It is now the size of two palms. Her intelligence has also increased, Little Princess was able to understand some of the human languages, but she cannot speak and can only make the sounds of "Wua Wua" as usual.

The little duo was jumping up and down on the bed and having fun. Staying inside the special space was very boring so they had as much fun as they could outside.

"Yes. I need to find the person that Ivy is looking for. Laizsi, can you tell us where those blood race members took the coffin? " Liu Yang took advantage of the heat in the last moments that he will spend with the spider queen before he leaves and continues his journey.

"I promised to do this before. I will keep my promise. Blood race girl, the members of your race took the coffin to a place on the edge of my territory. That place is a little dangerous because there are swamps hidden in the middle of the tall grass and giant trees. The place is very different from other parts of the Amazon Rainforest that you pass before.

I need to warn you that despite being my territory, that place doesn't have any spiders living there. The reason for this is that there is a type of construction there with a powerful barrier. The blood race members who went there, they had to spend a lot of time and effort to penetrate the barrier. To leave, they had to do the same thing.

The power I felt at that time was that a Saint Mage was together in the group. This shows that they needed someone very strong to penetrate the barrier. For some reason, the barrier regenerates after being opened. You need to be careful, I don't know if you are going to encounter enemies along the way or not, but there must be something there watching over the intruders. " The spider queen explained about where Raeliin's body may be hidden.

"I see… Spider Queen, did the group use brute force to try to break the barrier? Or did they use space element or void element to do this? " Ivy wanted some confirmation.

"No. None of them had the power of space or void. They could only try to break using their magical powers and equipment. I don't know if this can work or not, but you can try to use her power to test it. "The spider queen held Little Princess in both hands. She stroked the little creature with her finger.

"Wua wua !!" Little Princess liked this affection. Like the daughter of an insect queen, she felt a little close to the spider queen.

"Little One come here" Liu Yang took Little One to not leave her alone.

Sniff ... Sniff ...

"Wua wua !!" The pair jumped and climbed up to Liu Yang's head. They crossed their arms looking like they made serious faces. This scene was a little funny.

(Master, I think I can get inside that barrier. Little Princess can too, but it will be a little tiring for her) Little One commented. She was older and stronger than Little Princess, so it was reasonable for her to do that.

Furthermore, Little One did not want to feel worthless to Liu Yang. She did nothing but play for so long.

(Little One, you don't have to be sad about that. You are quite strong, you don't have to force yourself) Liu Yang knew what Little One was feeling since he was connected to her.

"Wua wua" Little Princess rubbed her little head on Little One's face, she felt her older sister's dismay.

Sniff ... Sniff ...

The two little creatures hugged each other for some time. Little One stroked Little Princess's head with the little paws.

(Master, I am not forcing myself, but I also want to be useful to the master. When the master fought against those members of the blood race, I was unable to do anything and only managed to see the master suffer…) In many situations, Little One could only see Liu Yang suffer before her. She didn't want to see that kind of scene anymore.

Little One promised herself that she would get stronger and help Liu Yang.

(Silly girl, you are not just my contract beast, you know that. Little One, you are my precious goddaughter and my daughter Little Princess's older sister. You are very important to me) Liu Yang used his finger to petting Little One's head. This is the first time Liu Yang has called her a silly girl.

(Master…) Little One can feel Liu Yang's emotions, even if vaguely. She knows he was telling the truth.

"Wua wua" Little Princess hugged her precious older sister tightly. She didn't want Little One to be sad.

(The master does not see me as a contract beast, for him, I am a member of the family ... Family ... Master, you are very good to me ...) Little One was very happy with Liu Yang's words. She was satisfied with the life she is having next to him. But she has not forgotten her job as a contract beast, which is to fight alongside her master.

"Can you two go back and play with your older sister? I need to talk to the aunt a little "Liu Yang referred to the spider queen when he spoke to the aunt. Since she is his lover.

Little One didn't like the spider queen very much because of the way she treated Liu Yang before, but Little Princess likes her.

(Yes Master)

"Wua wua" The two small creatures waved and returned to the special spot.

"How the two children went to sleep. Adults can stay awake, right? " Liu Yang embraced the three women in his arms and carried them to bed.

"Pervert" Ivy and the spider queen commented. Kliri didn't care about that, she already did group activities with the other four royal guards at the same time. Doing activities with just two people was no big deal.

After the activities with Kliri, another royal guard entered the time room to replace her. This was like a rotation between the royal guards. The five had a chance to do activities with Liu Yang.

…

Going back to a normal time ...

Liu Yang and Ivy left the spider queen's palace an hour later, which is equivalent to five years in the time room. The time room was destroyed after the group left, as it was unnecessary and the spider queen no longer had the resources to keep the room active.

The spider queen completely destroyed the room using her power.

To be able to leave the palace safely and not be seen by anyone. The spider queen ordered Kliri to use her power to break the space to take Liu Yang and Ivy out of the royal palace.

So spies from other nations or the other inhabitants of the spiders' territory cannot see Liu Yang or Ivy leaving. This was to prevent them from having any problems on the way.

Little Princess learned a lot from Kliri, she taught the little creature a lot about space power. Little Princess was very happy with the new things she learned.

Not to be outdone, Little One also trained her void power a lot. Everything she needed to know was already inside her mind, she just needs to learn from her memories and train. However, Little One did not do this outside the special place, she understands that Liu Yang does not want others to discover that she is a Dimensional Mouse. This will only bring problems.

Little One trained hard inside the special location for the contract beasts. Typha also taught her a few things about the plant element. As a being born of nature, she knows many things about this element.

The two little creatures had their own ways of training during all these years within the time room. They got strong in their own steps. The two were eager to test their new powers.

Kliri sent Liu Yang and Ivy a long way. They went to an area where there were no spies.

But not for long, the pair only traveled for some time before many servant spiders followed them. They were sent by the half-human and half-spiders. Location information was sold to those who are paying big fortunes for them.

"Liu Yang, I will cover you both using the power of darkness. Someone must be following us" The pair read the news about them. They were shocked at how quickly it ended up happening. 

Fortunately, the spider queen ordered some items and gave the pair time to prepare before leaving the royal palace. 

"Okay. Little One will keep us on alert "

"Cloaking" A dark light covered the bodies of the pair and they disappeared in the shadows of the giant trees of the forest and the white and gray webs.

The spiders cannot find the pair's location.
