Chapter 919: Allies (I)

For a moment, Iss gritted his teeth and tried to rush back and eat the group of mages.

He wasn't unwounded. The first battle with Silvertooth nearly killed him. But he has never been like this, when he is attacked but can't fight back, even if Scott shoots at him, he will not hesitate to beat him back.

But it was his own choice. He had more important things to do than spend time with these guys. Ed might still be waiting for him to save his life...... Thinking about it made him feel a little better.

All these jumbled thoughts are just a moment. When he landed, he was ready to defend, no, ready to attack.

Since it is so well guarded, this side of the entrance will not be left unguarded. In the darkness, he could clearly see that there were four people around him who were not deliberately hidden.

Compared to the other side guarded by the mages, there seems to be little magic defense here. Although Island was light, there was no hope that it would not be discovered...... Yet the four men remained motionless when he rushed in front of one of them.

Isis paused. He was close enough to see the enemy in front of him, a pale-faced man, thin and lean, obviously not a local, who looked like a thief or something...... But his face was white and gray, his eyes were blankly open, and his breathing and heartbeat were steady.

He was still alive, but he didn't seem to feel the Isis who had been pressed in front of him at all.

Resisting the urge to poke him, Isis quietly stepped away and walked to the other side.

The four of them were half-squatting, and two were standing, all of them had already taken a fighting posture, but they were all motionless as if they had been petrified in an instant.

Iss frowned slightly. The people who are placed here will not be easy to deal with, and those who can subdue them in this way are obviously more dangerous...... Did he let them live because of kindness, or was he afraid that their death would alarm others?

He couldn't guess if the man was friend or foe, but it was clear that the situation here might be more complicated than they had thought.

Iss didn't care about the four of them anymore. He disappeared into the darkness, hesitated for a moment, and burrowed into the passage to the left.

He doesn't need to tell the way. He could feel the pulse beating in this long-abandoned mine, the source of power calling to him silently, more vivid in his mind than a lighthouse on the dark sea.

Isis is not the only one who walks in the darkness. People with different purposes quietly walk through the criss-crossed passages, or lurk in the shadows, each thinking that they are predators waiting for their prey with a wide net open, but they do not know how many shadows of prying eyes are hidden behind them.

Borena de Juri leaned against the wall, folded in thought.

Whether Eli would be furious or not, he regretted it now. He's not good at sneaking this kind of thing, and the people he follows are ...... I don't know when it disappeared silently.

Of course, if he wants to quit now, it's okay to save his life...... But he was not very willing.

He turned the ring on the little finger of his left hand, poked his head out, and decided to try harder.

But he didn't take a few steps, and his neck tightened. Someone grabbed him by the back of the collar and dragged him aside, and then a cold hand reached out and covered his mouth firmly.

"Why are you here?!"

The sound ringing in his ears was low, but it was enough for him to feel the anger of the other party.

“...... Huh?"

The sound coming from the nose could barely make out the tone, and the person who recognized it let go of his hand, still angry: "Shut up!"

Borena touched the strangled neck and obediently shut up, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook a little arc.

"What are you doing here?!" the voice asked.

Borena wanted to say you just shut me up...... But in the face of a dragon that was obviously very unhappy, he replied honestly: "I want to know what the hell your brother is doing here, if you can tell me, I can leave now." ”

There was silence in the darkness, but Borena keenly sensed that the other party was even more unhappy.

It's not just upset...... He could almost feel the cold killing intent.

"Well......" he said, "it's okay not to tell me, I'm ready to leave." ”

A moment later, the cold hand grabbed his arm and dragged him forward.

Borena felt that he had better not speak again, but after two turns, he finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "...... You're going to send me out?"

He walked the path, and it was outward, not inward. Although a little touched...... He felt that Iss didn't seem to be so considerate to him.

"I don't care where you die?!" Ise replied angrily, "Ed's idiot is still out there!"

Sure enough, dragging him was just because of the way.

“...... Is he in danger?" Borena reacted quickly.

"I don't know!" Is's anger was racing upwards, "he's been tricked!"

He was so close to Scott that he could feel it, but he couldn't leave Ed alone. Even if he loses this opportunity, he has to find Ed first.

“...... Where did he go missing?" asked Borena.

"Blanti Library. ”

"When?"

"Just now!" replied Is, irritatingly, "That's enough, shut up!"

Borena was only quiet for a moment.

"If that's the case......" he said, "I think he'll be fine?"

Through the impenetrable darkness, he could also feel Is's suspicious gaze.

"The library and the temple," he explained in a low voice, "are the shelters that Eli has arranged, and those who don't go to the cobblestone festival will be safe if they can't be assured." ”

Ise scoffed, "Do you think those mages will listen to him? Did you know that there is an entrance to the library that leads to here?"

"Yes. Borena replied, "There is more than one." ”

After all, he got in from one of them.

The hand that grabbed him was a little harder, so hard that he was worried that his arm would snap off, did he say something wrong?

"I know the mages and the followers of Nessah...... There was some deal with the Fenton priest, but they would never offend Eli because of it," he hastenedly added, "and they would not harm their own interests." Beranti is their territory, and they also know Ed's identity, they won't let Ed have an accident there, and they won't even hurt you. ”

Isis didn't say anything...... But his hand relaxed a little.

Borena breathed a sigh of relief, and swallowed back the sentence that he almost blurted out, and if he really said it, it was definitely his own death:

"Did you come here without even figuring it out?"
