Section 10: Escape
(The third update, 10,000 words and still can't 'get' some water sound, I'm going to be depressed!)
There was no movement behind him, and it seemed that the pursuers were still far away, so Harry's heart settled down a little, so he could rest for a while! There was still more than half a distance from the edge forest, and he couldn't run to it in one go.
I don't know how long it took, but Harry, who was still a little alert, suddenly woke up, and he could already faintly hear human voices in the distance, and there seemed to be dogs barking. Harry, who had rested for a while, had recovered his physical strength, but the chasing soldiers were all intermediate fighters, and he was bound to not be able to fight with them. There should still be some distance from the edge forest, and if you fall into a situation where you run out of stamina again, you will have to wait for death.
Harry's mind was spinning rapidly, he only remembered the predetermined route on the map, and if he changed the route temporarily, he would 'get lost', and the nearby area was the sphere of influence of Nantes City, so he might fall into the net. Desperately trying to run forward and enter the edge forest before they catch up, it didn't seem realistic, the fatigue of the earlier was not over, and it was at least 2/3 of the way to the edge forest. Harry couldn't help but think about it, but when he calmed down and thought about it, he didn't seem to have any chance of winning against a group of mid-level fighters.
Listening carefully to the voices in the distance, there didn't seem to be too many people, and the voices of the group were very conspicuous in the open field. I could faintly hear words such as "little guy!", "meritorious service", and "quick chase".
If only there was a way to increase the speed of his escape! Harry's brain was spinning rapidly, wait! Could he use missile skills to help him run?
Astro Boy just has two rockets on his feet, and if he designs a magic spell that can power his feet, then wouldn't he be able to run faster!
Harry jumped lightly, and at the same time quickly cast a missile spell under both feet, only to hear a "boom", Harry was suddenly sent into the air, dancing in the air a few times, and then fell to the ground with a snap.
After 'rubbing' and 'rubbing' his buttocks, Harry realized that using missile skills is not a simple matter, and he must cooperate with his own coordination and balance ability to move perfectly and freely.
It seems that the missile technique needs to be improved, since it is not used to attack, then the air outlet can be appropriately expanded, so that the propulsion released will be a little smoother, and the area of ice touching the soles of the feet will be wider, so that the force on the body will be even.
Eventually, Harry modified the missile shape of the missile technique into something resembling a skate, but instead of a row of wheels, there were four air outlets. By placing a small compressed fireball on the inside of the shoe, the explosion will erupt from the four outlets, propelling Harry.
Harry named it Rocketry, and the shoes of Rocketry were not worn on the feet, but only on the soles of the feet. After the rocket is erupted, it will dissipate due to the dissipation of the ice element.
With the help of rocketry, Harry's escape was much easier, and he could leap several meters away with just a slight force on his feet. Although there are still some problems with balancing 'sex', I can barely maintain it without falling.
Seeing that it was working well, Harriso 'Sex' used rocketry to propel himself in the direction of the fringe forest. Stumbling and bumping along the way, not having a good grasp of balance' Harry began to run not much faster than himself, so the city lord's pursuers still slowly approached Harry, but then Harry became more and more familiar with the rocket push under his feet, and the feeling of mastering the balance became better and better, and when the pursuers had seen Harry's figure, he was slowly pulled away by Harry, so that after the chase lasted for an hour, Harry had fully adapted to using miniature rocket magic to drive himself to run, humming a little song while jumping on the road like a gazelle, each time the rocket spray on the soles of his feetWith one shot, Harry can leap 3,4 meters away.
The pursuers didn't know how far they had been left behind by Harry, at least Harry couldn't hear them anymore, and there was no doubt that there would be no problem if they plunged headlong into the edge forest like this, but Harry wasn't prepared to do that. Rocketry not only brings the speed of escape, but also uses rocketry to move quickly even in battle. Now Harry's burst speed is close to that of a level 6 warrior, and in terms of defense, the ice shield can't even be broken by Geblin. The fearless Harry decided to use the pursuers to train his hands, and before entering the edge forest, it was necessary to have more combat experience, although he only passed through the outside of the forest, but who said that he would not encounter powerful monsters?
Moreover, Harry had another plan. Although he ran out by himself, the city lord of Mingli couldn't embarrass his family, but who knew secretly if he would do something about it? According to Geblin's 'nature', if he couldn't find himself, he would be angry with his father and them, so he had to do something. It must make Geblin feel that he is crazy, that he has no family connection with his family. In this way, the pressure at home will be lighter.
Secondly, there is the problem of mana! The magician's mana is related to two factors, one is your 'essence' divine power, and the other is your current mana value. Harry's 'spirit' power is undoubtedly very high, the higher the 'spirit' god, the faster the mana return ratio, but Harry's mana value is pitifully weak, the amount of mana return is equal to the 'spirit' god mana return ratio * the current mana value, so Harry's actual mana recovery ability is not very rebellious.
Usually use magic, relying on high 'essence' divine power can keep Harry's magic power in a state of overflowing, but although the magic power of a single use of miniature rocket magic is very small, but due to continuous use and no interruption, Harry's magic power has been gradually decreasing, with the reduction of mana, the amount of mana return is further weakened, if Harry, who has a low magic base, can't maintain a certain amount of mana, then the mana will soon be exhausted in battle. This way, Harry's mana has been consumed by half, and on the other hand, the amount of mana is only half, so he continues to rush into the edge forest, and Harry, who doesn't have much mana, will be very dangerous if he encounters any magical beasts?
For a number of reasons, Harry decided to get rid of the pursuers and buy himself time to rest and gain enough combat experience. Finding a seat on the side of the road to rest, Harry ate some dry food and waited quietly for his followers to arrive. He wasn't worried at all, because even if he couldn't beat it, he could use rocket magic to escape quickly.
"I'm finally catching up!" Harry, who had eaten and drunk enough to rest, clapped his hands and got up from the ground. There were a few shouts in the distance, and a little fire flickered.
“1、2、3、...... 6, 7!" The pursuers soon came to Harry, and Harry counted them, and there were seven of them.
Although it was very strange why Harry suddenly stopped running, the warrior who led the team did not have time to think about it, and with a gesture of his hand, everyone surrounded Harry, and the torches were 'inserted' into the ground or the cracks in the stones next to him, and suddenly, Harry's surroundings lit up.
"On the orders of the city lord, arrest Harry, the felony who injured the young master, and go back to punish him! Since you don't run away, then obediently follow us back to Nantes City!"
"Who is qualified to punish me!" said Harry, 'arrogantly'.
"Daring, Harry, you dare to disobey the orders of the Lord of the Emperor!" the captain of the guard retorted.
"A little Xidi, I don't put it in my eyes yet. Go back and tell him that one day I will go back to Nantes City and wash his city lord's mansion in blood!" Although Harry deliberately put on an arrogant appearance, there was an inexplicable pleasure in his heart, yes, why should I be afraid of anyone, I have nothing to worry about now, I am alone, and the world is at my disposal! Do I still need to look at anyone's face! Harry himself did not realize that he was forced to leave the house this time. I didn't feel too much loss, but I had a sense of relief, Feiyang's town couldn't trap Harry's eagle!
"How daring!" the guards were 'provoked' by Harry's attitude, and their faces were filled with indignation.
"Boss, don't ramble with him, capture him quickly, the reward will be ours!" said one of the guards.
A cold light flashed in Harry's eyes, and a flying knife went straight at the man, and he was 'thrust' into the man's chest, and he didn't even react, he opened his mouth wide, and a large stream of blood spurted out of his left 'chest', and he couldn't survive.
"Noise!" Harry said coldly. Harry was still a little uneasy about his first killing, but hatred made him put aside his fear.
The remaining six were taken aback, they all saw a flash of white light, and one of them died, and they didn't even see how Harry's magic was used. It seems that it is not a fluke that the other party injured Young Master Geblin! Such a thought flashed in everyone's minds.
"Everybody be careful! Don't look at him as a ghost, be sure to pay attention. There are a lot of us, so use the wheel war to entangle him and don't let him use his magic easily. The leader of the guard commanded. Among the guards, only he is a level 6 warrior, and the rest are level 5 warriors.
Everyone answered, and they were all on alert.
Harry was able to easily get his hands on a throwing knife, but it was a little strange that the strength of these guards did not seem to be very strong. Could it be that there are no masters in Nantes City?
