Chapter 36 [Forced to Get Involved]
Harvey rested for a while and continued on his way. He didn't really want to go through the night, he knew he was almost at the limit.
Along the way, Harvey used his mental power to keep an eye on his surroundings, and after he rested, he found that he could no longer perceive Drew's location at all, which means that the distance between Drew and him was now more than five kilometers. Harvey remembers telling Drew before the parting that he must stay within five kilometers of him.
Under normal circumstances, Drew would have meticulously carried out what Harvey had said, but now that he was gone, Harvey had some bad premonitions in his heart, not only because of the current situation, but also from the moment he saw the strange letter left by the man named Ben Hanis, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable, and always felt that what happened in front of him gave him a sense of disharmony.
"Mr. Qi, it's a little wrong, it's the exit of the birch forest in front of me, and I still can't feel Drew's position. Harvey frowned, worried that something had happened to Drew.
"Drew, the automatic puppet that has been following you?"
"Mr. Qi, he is my friend, an alchemical being named Drew. Harvey considers Drew to be his friend, and he doesn't agree with Strange comparing him to an auto-puppet. It was the alchemical life created by the alchemist using the heart of Dark's lava, and since he was called life, how could the puppeteer in the puppeteer's hands be compared to the puppeteer who relied on various parts to put together without thinking.
"Okay, Uncle Ben doesn't care what he is, and it doesn't matter what relationship you have. This matter obviously has nothing to do with Uncle Ben, Uncle Ben just needs to make sure that you don't die before looking for Uncle Ben's body, so you can solve these things by yourself, don't disturb my rest. With that, Qi's voice disappeared.
Harvey felt helpless about Qi's attitude, but what Qi said made sense, it was indeed his own business.
"Big brother, you hold on!"
Suddenly, the voice of a young woman was not far away.
Harvey looked up into the distance, and two figures in the night were running towards the entrance to the birch grove.
Walking was a man and a woman, dressed as a male swordsman, leaning on the woman next to him, looking semi-unconscious. Harvey continued to observe in the darkness, and found that the swordsman had a wound on his chest that had been stabbed by a sharp weapon, and it was still bleeding. The woman who supported him, in her twenties, dressed in the white robes of a priest, was petite and struggled to support the swordsman's huge weight.
At this moment, she shouted to the swordsman while helping him to run into the woods in embarrassment, with some fear and a little sadness in her eyes.
The embarrassed duo ran into the birch grove and soon found Harvey, and the priestess was overjoyed to see Harvey's magician's robes.
"Your Excellency, please save us!" said the priestess, with tears in her eyes.
Harvey didn't want to be nosy, and after being educated by Qi, he felt that he couldn't jump to conclusions based on what he saw in front of him.
And the reason why he didn't hide aside was because he felt that he didn't do anything, why should he hide, it was obvious that it was the two people in front of him who needed to hide.
"Your Excellency, I beg you, as long as you can keep us, I am willing to give everything I have. "The priestess was in a hurry.
Harvey remained indifferent and walked away, but the two of them continued to move forward.
"Belle...... , you let go of me, they are about to catch up, you go first...... I'll hold them back!" the swordsman suddenly woke up, his lips a little pale at the moment due to blood loss.
"No, I'm not going to abandon you! Big deal, I'm going to fight with them. The priestess gritted her teeth and said firmly.
"Belle!" the swordsman sighed: "You are a priest, what are you going to fight with those murderous guys, listen to the words of the eldest brother, you leave quickly, otherwise none of us will be able to escape!"
How could the priestess not know what was going on at the moment, she squeezed her hand tightly, and then looked at Harvey, who kept walking away, and shouted at him seriously: "Your Excellency the Magician, if you are willing to help us, I can tell you where the dragon's prophecy is." ”
The priestess looked at Harvey expectantly, hoping that the magician in front of her would know the dragon's prophecy.
However, Harvey did not react, at first he was indeed surprised to hear the priestess say the prophecy of the dragon, but he immediately remembered that he did not seem to need this prophecy of the dragon, so he shook his head and continued to walk forward.
Haven't you heard of it?
The priestess was disappointed, but she didn't give up!
"I can give you 10,000 gold coins,"
This is what she usually saves by frugality, so that she can go to the church in the higher regions to find a better teacher to learn advanced healing techniques, so that she can continue to help her eldest brother in the mercenary team.
"As long as you take my eldest brother away, I will stay and lure them in, you don't have to take any risks, as long as you do what I say, you can directly get 10,000 gold coins. With that, the priestess had already taken out the gold coins.
"Belle, let's go! I've lost so much blood that I can't help if I leave. You're different, obedient, let's go!cough!" the swordsman said excitedly, but it was also because he was so emotional that he suddenly coughed up a pool of blood.
The priestess was now with tears on her face, staring at Harvey in the distance, hoping that he would turn around and help her.
However...... Harvey was still unmoved, and at the same time, he had already begun to mobilize the magic in his body and prepared to use the flying technique to leave, after all, he still had to hurry to find Drew.
簌簌簌......
At this time, dense footsteps sounded.
The priestess despaired, she knew there was no chance. Neither he nor his eldest brother are destined to be able to escape today. So she put her eldest brother on the ground and used healing techniques on him, hoping to relieve him of some of his pain.
These people who rushed here couldn't see what their identities were, they were dressed in a variety of clothes, all of them were fierce and vicious, and the long knives more than one meter long in their hands showed a cold cold light.
"Magician, are you in a league with them?" one of them asked directly when he saw Harvey, as if he was not at all afraid of Harvey's identity as a magician.
Harvey ignored him and prepared to use his flying spell.
At this moment, the priestess in the distance suddenly shouted: "Gray and we don't know each other, let him go, everything is coming for us." ”
"Alas!" Harvey sighed, dodging the knife from the man who had just spoken. He didn't expect this female pastor to do this. However, he also understands that now he is her only lifeline, and dragging himself into the water is indeed the best way.
The man didn't care that he didn't hit Harvey, and after slashing it, he said directly to the priestess, "Are you fools for us? You don't know that you can still call him by name and defend him like this!"
"Excuse me to interrupt. Harvey spoke calmly, "Whatever the truth may be, who gave you the courage to strike at a magician?"
"Hmph, a magician who doesn't wear the exclusive magic robes of the Wizards' Alliance. Even if I kill you today, the Wizards Alliance will not avenge you. The man walked up to Harvey and said to Harvey in a brutal voice.
"Fire tornado!" Harvey used his fusion magic, he didn't think it was necessary to use level 8 magic to deal with these people in front of him.
The dozen or so people standing behind were instantly baptized by a fire tornado, and while letting out a miserable cry, they were roasted to ashes.
The man standing in front of Harvey at this moment was stunned and didn't dare to move, and his entire back was not wet with cold sweat.
"Do you want to turn your head and look at your companion? Harvey smiled.
"No...... No...... No, please...... Request...... You put ...... Over me. The man looked at the smile on Harvey's face, feeling that it was the smile of death, and collapsed to the ground in fright.
"I'm sorry, I'm not used to being merciful to my enemies. With that, an ice spike more than a meter long appeared in Harvey's hand, and the other end had already pierced the enemy's chest.
"Now, maybe you should give Gray an explanation?" Harvey turned and walked slowly towards the priestess, but he didn't know what to do with the siblings in front of him.
"Respect...... The Magic ...... Shige ...... Next, I ...... ...... for me Younger sister... Sister's behavior...... ...... to you Apologies, please ...... For my sake...... ...... Die...... ...... portions...... Up, the original ...... Forgive...... She!" The voice of the swordsman lying on the ground grew weaker and weaker.
