Chapter 63: Run! James! Run!
It was strange to him that James stood on the platform and watched several teenagers disappear one by one into the rock wall, the expected chaos and screams never came.
Due to the obstruction of the rock wall, he could only see half of the body of the leader, the male seal, lying quietly on the ground, and the rest of the seals were hiding about ten meters away, making an unknown roar, wanting to move forward, but fearing something.
The cable attached to the huge pitons beside James was gone, and the orange cat roaming the platform was nowhere to be found.
James, who has always been considered by familiar people to be calm and sophisticated, was a little panicked at this time, and things were developing out of control.
Isn't that how the script is written, it should have been five cadets running down the cliff to find the cable gone, and then being trampled into mud by the swarming herd?
But, now, how to act?
James was anxious, and he was determined to go down and see, what was going on?
In order to solve this problem, which should have been solved two and a half years ago, James has made several shots.
The first time was a burst fireball, but the boy, Jacques, reappeared in front of him a week later.
When he followed Jacques to find an opportunity to clean up his hands, his innate extremely keen sense made him realize that Jacques was often surrounded by grandmasters to protect him, and even had a hidden grandmaster living with him.
Later, he discovers that someone from the Bureau of Investigation is secretly protecting the child, which makes him extremely curious about Jacques's identity.
The boy had seen his face at the gates of the inner city, although his identity was never revealed, suggesting that the boy may not have seen and remembered himself at that glance.
He managed to suppress his curiosity to find out Jacques's secrets and continued his work in the shadows, but some small details of the boy's performance made him more and more sure that Jacques had already recognized him, but he didn't know why he hadn't revealed it.
Could it be that he is also a colleague? There are also secrets that cannot be exposed? So why would the Bureau of Investigation protect him?
James's boss is a stern person, and he doesn't dare to tell his boss about the situation he may expose, so that his hard work for more than ten years will be in vain. If the superiors don't know, he won't have a chance to change the lurking city.
From then on, every day he spent his days in torment, and whenever there was an abnormal noise around him, he feared that he would be exposed, and the people from the City Lord's Mansion or the Investigation Bureau would descend from the sky and capture him.
Two years ago, after the last training and assassination mission to assassinate Lily, when he learned that Jacques had escaped protection and was riding a steam car to Caranga, he spent a lot of money to convince his teammate Shadow to cooperate with him, and instructed the giant claw wolf to ambush him on the road, but Jacques was rescued and escaped.
In the next two years, as Jacques became more and more famous, James became more and more restless, he became thinner and thinner, and piercing silver strands appeared in his originally handsome brown hair.
He had an obsession in his heart to kill the boy.
In fact, when Robert contacted his superiors and gave the two families the sincerity of reconciliation, he could have applied for a transfer from Port Mousse and Castile to Castia, and his superiors should also support him. Because his superior, the great 007, has already left Port Moussey and gone to Rand.
But he is reluctant to go, he is a persistent person, and he must solve this hidden danger, and he must solve it personally. He had been waiting, waiting for an opportunity, and the boy had left the protection to come and train, which was a great opportunity.
Just this morning, Jacques and his team were hurrying up the cable to the platform, and James wanted to get started. Just cut that cable......
But he hesitated at the critical moment, why should he bother with this boy, for more than two years, everyone has been safe. Wouldn't it be nice to return to Port Mousse, end the lurk mission, and return to Stuart, why risk being tracked down by the Grandmaster?
At that moment, he held back, but these teenagers actually came to hunt seals again!
The second chance is in front of you!
On the night of the murder of the moon and the dark wind, he dealt with the nightmare that haunted him for more than two years, and then fled back to Stuart to seek justice for more than two years of mental suffering.
So, when the seal pack came again, he drew his sword and swung down, cutting the cable and his lurking career.
However, now, James standing at the bottom of the cliff was dazed, the headless body of the leader male seal fell under the cliff, and the five teenagers were nowhere to be found!
The great terror about the grandmaster once again filled James's heart, and this kid has a hidden protector!
I'm done now!
A chill rushed up his spine, and James didn't care about anything else, he ran at full speed at the foot of the mountain, he wanted to get out of here as soon as possible, and he would never see Jacques Renaud again, this horrible child.
But first, James was going to run for his life from his protector, who might be watching him from the ridge like a goshawk playing with a rabbit!
Run! James! Run!
Run out of the Seal Peninsula, run out of Port Mousse, run out of Castile, and keep running as long as you live......
......
On the other side, Jacques was in the mysterious space, watching the ball of light representing James's mentor jump off the cliff, use explosive fireballs to blow up two seals, drive away the other seals, and then walk to the bottom of the cliff, stand for a few seconds, and then leave at a very fast speed, running away into the distance. The humanoid light cluster grew smaller and smaller until it was too far to be recognized, mingling with other fluttering points of light.
Fortunately, Fat Orange notified him in time, so he had time to open the mysterious space and let everyone hide in.
But why did Mentor James cut the cable?
Jacques was puzzled.
So what's next?
Well, no, before solving the next step, let's explain it to the three stunned friends.
"Ahem!" Jacques reminded Fabian, Alyssia, and Natasha, who were already stunned.
"Introduction, my source energy technique, spatial rift! I can't master it yet, and every time I turn it on, it's a little slow. We are now in a subspace. The light group just now was Mentor James outside.
Let's put it this way, I saw Mentor James destroy the cable just now, and I don't know what his purpose is, so I opened the spatial rift and took everyone to hide in.
Well, that's right, Emma has been here before. However, I was very unskilled in using it before, but I have become a little more familiar with it recently. ”
"Hehe, I'm embarrassed to say that I'm familiar, I almost didn't open the space door, and I scared the emperor to death!" Fat Orange, who was standing on the ridge, looked at James in the distance, and said in Jacques's heart.
"This source skill is so cool! compared to yours, what is mine, kid thing! it's amazing!" Fabian finally had the ability to speak.
"The spatial rift is too powerful, where did you learn it? Didn't Master Lily say that the academy doesn't have your source energy skills?"
Jacques didn't expect Alyssa to ask this question, so he hurried to ask Fat Orange for help, and a certain cat came with a lie.
Jacques learned: "When I was a child, I accidentally read a book about the source energy technique, which mentioned this skill, and then I often pondered it, and often pondered it and used it inadvertently. The first time I used it was with Emma......"
The four friends listened to Jacques's story, and if it weren't for Jacques once making the source skill of summoning war horses in front of them, they wouldn't believe it if they were given about a hundred silver coins.
"So the question now is, what to do next? will we go out and go back to the camp to report the situation here, or will we go straight back to Port Mousse?"
"We can't figure out why Mentor James framed us, and since he's already running, and he's running in the direction of land, then I'd suggest we go back to camp, at least there are other mentors there. Natasha analyzed that Jacques had always felt that this little girl had the most ideas among the three girls.
Natasha continued: "And, now back to Port Mousse, it's dark and dangerous, and James may ambush us halfway. ”
Fabian asked, "What if there are any of his accomplices among the Mentor?" I suspect that he is the one who attacked Lily two years ago, when Jacques didn't say that there was an open area of more than thirty meters from the gang to the place where Lily was attacked, and it was reasonable that no one could see the Giant Clawed Wolf. I'm guessing he framed us for the same purpose as he did when he attacked Lily two years ago, to get Dean Hardy out of office. Lucien's mad dog must have known that his father must have been involved!
There are some things that you civilians don't know, Lucien's father colluded with many people to overthrow or drive out the family of the Count of Baptiste and take control of Port Mousse. Because before Baptiste was knighted, the lord of Port Mousse had always been held by local nobles in turn, and my ancestors had been city lords. However, the emperor at that time didn't know why he directly gave the port of Musai to Lee Baptiste, who was born as a commoner, resulting in the current situation that the city lord could only be Baptiste's family. A lot of old local aristocrats are not happy with this!"
"What does that have to do with Dean Hardy?" said Emma, who cared about her mentor.
Fabian explained: "Dean Hardy was able to control the Eve Academy, and he had the strong support of the Earl's family, so it can be said that Dean Hardy is a person from Earl's Court, and replacing Dean Hardy can reduce the influence of Earl's Court on the Academy."
At that time, if Mentor Lily was killed by the Giant Claw Wolf, then the marriage contract between Robert and Lily would be null and void, and the Guild of the Transcendents would not fully support the Earl's Court. ”
Jacques felt a little irritated and made a decision: "Let's go out, pack up the loot, go back to the camp, James didn't dare to come back, he probably thought that there was a grandmaster who could save us, so he didn't dare to stay for a moment, and ran away." We went back and reported the situation to the other mentors. ”
Then Jacques pointed in the air, and the door opened again, and he grabbed the two tusks of the seal's head and strode out of the light door.
The other team members also rushed out, looking at the corpse of the giant beast lying at the door, and everyone was terrified.
