Section 133 The Emperor's Capital 38
"I'm just leaving for a moment...... Amber finds her timeline out of order. This is a rare experience for the First Lawyer. According to her original position, when the Moon Warlock made a move, she was thinking of taking the initiative to avoid the threat. After all, although she is a first lawman, Lu Wu and Thomas are outright indigenous earthlings (although Lu Wu has a magic ring, but as mentioned earlier, this thing is useless in the face of real warlocks). Once in a state of passive defense, even Amber has to admit that it may be difficult for him to protect the two of them. "I'm sorry ......"
Once Lu Wu and Thomas are harmed, or even taken hostage, the situation will be overwhelmingly unfavorable.
So when she realized that the Moon Warlock was coming, she reacted almost immediately. If she had reacted positively, those Stygian Warlocks wouldn't have affected Lu Wu and Thomas. There will be no such thing as turning the tiger away from the mountain.
Maybe ordinary people can't make this judgment for a while, but Amber has also undergone rigorous training (although she hasn't graduated yet), so she can immediately understand that the other party's target is her, and it's just her. If the other side is going to use that kind of coercive tactic, then they have a better chance. It should be said that by the time she found out, it was estimated that the hostages were already in the hands of the other party.
After all, before detecting the remnants of the magic power, Amber was actually the same as Lu Wu, completely defenseless psychologically, and never dreamed that the Moon Warlock had followed this world. The Moon Warlocks were clearly aware of this, so if they really planned to do so, they could have found a much better chance than they were in the current situation, unless they were pushed to the last limit and had no other choice.
In fact, although the Moon Warlock is generally recognized as having a much lower limit and can use any means, this kind of trick is not within the normal consideration of the Warlock. For in most cases, the warlocks don't mind the lives of those who are below them. Even the Radiant Moon Warlock. In fact, warlocks are almost always very self-conscious, and they are the most important, and even strict military discipline is difficult to change this.
The whole course of the battle went smoothly. Judging by the power of the Stygian Warlocks, they only sent cannon fodder to test it out at most - I don't know exactly how much they knew, but apparently they didn't know much. Now, Amber thinks it might have been an accident. Perhaps some time ago, the Lunatics came here, set their coordinates here, and have been active in the world ever since (though it's unclear what they're doing). This time they discover Amber's whereabouts by accident. The higher-ups of the Stygian camp obviously didn't pay much attention to this matter, and they didn't know about Amber's major experiments here. The people below believe that the Radiant Moon Warlock also came here by accident and found some kind of resource here that is worth using.
In short, Amber judged that this was an unexpected meeting between the two factions of warlocks in a strange world. It's not uncommon for such encounters to end in bloodshed.
If anything, the Moon Warlocks were lucky enough to detect Amber's presence before Amber even knew it (they may have been on Earth for a long time, much earlier than Amber). This amber made the first round of guesses.
But now the situation has changed unexpectedly.
Lu Wu was also affected.
Although the doctor said that Lu Wu's physical condition was not bad, or according to academic terms, his vital signs were good and not life-threatening, but Lu Wu could be regarded as severe frostbite after all. Such a look, at least from the outside, is quite scary.
Moreover, because the face, neck, etc. are exposed (after all, Lu Wu is wearing warm clothing, not anti-freeze clothing in the real sense, so the head, face, hands and other parts are exposed), the extent of this injury is easy to be misunderstood. In fact, it may only be 60 points, but it seems to be a hundred points of exaggeration.
Seeing Lu Wu's situation, Amber immediately understood that she had made a big mistake.
It's like in wars in another world, where Rangers usually don't risk their lives to assassinate a junior officer of Kazuki. In fact, not to mention the danger, just detect that the other party's protection is good enough and vigilant enough, then the rangers will basically give up. However, if it doesn't take much effort to take out a junior officer of some value, then the Ranger obviously won't be reluctant to take a few minutes or a bullet.
The Stygian Warlock's target is indeed Amber, and he will not deliberately target Lu Wu and the others, but if there is an opportunity to take the sheep by the way, they will not let it go. They didn't even waste a little bit of their strength on Lu Wu, because dealing with an enemy of this level would only take a little aftermath to solve the problem. Warlocks are very magical, but they don't have the ability to heal others. In particular, damage such as frostbite is close to none.
"It's nothing, it's just frostbite. Lu Wu said. He saw in Amber's expression an unprecedented panic. If he remembered correctly, Amber never seemed to have a look like this on her face. Even if she had been suddenly changed and most of her strength had been lost, Amber didn't show this expression. At least not as helpless as it is now.
That time, Amber also tried to recover herself by sleeping, meditating, etc., and this time she could only apologize helplessly.
This expression made Lu Wu feel a kind of ...... inexplicably Glad.
Yes, obviously Amber was in a very low mood, but Lu Wu was very happy in his heart. Because only for this moment, Amber's weeping face made him feel that Amber cared about him.
And I care about him very much.
They started out as a cooperative relationship: Lu Wu was a lost person who couldn't even find a job after graduation (according to some people, he was one of those typical losers, one of those who were about to be eliminated from society), while Amber was hunted by evil spirits in the Aether Sea and fled to Earth only to be trapped outside the world walls. Lu Wu wants money, Amber wants security, and the two can say that they need each other, so they hit it off. In fact, both sides did get what they wanted.
Originally, the relationship with each other was very good here. However, perhaps the relationship between men and women is something that is inexplicable and intellectually unconstrained. When Lu Wu wanted to break free, he found that he already had a love in his heart that surpassed his original identity as a collaborator. He couldn't even figure out where it all started, when he was drawn to amber. But for a while, maybe it was that hugging in another world that made him feel like "Amber likes me too". Even though the two of them tacitly did not mention this matter, this feeling remained deeply in their hearts.
Perhaps, as Zhu Hua said, the warlocks can control their feelings and thinking patterns (although she said it very mysteriously, Lu Wu felt that it seemed to be just a kind of "self-hypnosis"). So Lu Wu couldn't tell when Amber started to stay away from him. Maybe, just maybe, all this has happened a long time ago, it's just that as a man, Lu Wu is relatively slow in this regard, so he can't detect it.
But at this moment, Lu Wu understood that no matter whether what Zhu Hua said was true or not, Amber obviously did not do anything similar to "self-hypnosis" to herself.
It's not that she doesn't care about Lu Wu, she just deliberately behaves like this.
"I'm fine, just a little frostbite. Lu Wu hurriedly said. Human psychology is really a very complex thing, obviously seeing Amber's crying expression makes him feel very happy, but there is another impulse in his heart, so he doesn't want to see Amber's expression, the contradictions, not the person concerned can not understand. "The doctor said that if everything goes well, it will only take a month or two to heal. ”
If Dumb comes out, it is estimated that it will be reduced to one or two days in a month or two. Of course, Dumb made it clear that he wouldn't treat Lu Wu - at least until Lu Wu reached an agreement with each other. Dumb can take the trouble to treat anyone who has nothing to do with it, but he can't save Lu Wu, who broke his promise. However, the master has confirmed that Lu Wu has not suffered any irreversible damage (as mentioned earlier, the master's senses are extra-dimensional, so when the master sees a person, he does not just look at the appearance of the other party, in fact, as long as he wants, he can even see the details of every cell on a person's body), go back to cultivate and recover for a month or two at most, and he can be healed through normal human metabolism. At most, it's just a little ointment or something.
"Sorry, no ......"
"Don't be like this, I'm fine, aren't I?" Lu Wu hurriedly changed the topic. Now that the latter impulse had prevailed, he found himself reluctant to see Amber's weeping expression. "What's going on over there...... Why is it that all of a sudden, there is no news?"
Amber's down jacket had several cuts, one of which seemed to have been torn open by a lion or tiger or other beast. Of course, Lu Wu knew that it didn't matter, after all, unlike him, Amber's body was not actually flesh and blood. She wears clothes not so much to keep warm as to hide her identity. This situation, combined with the various details he had heard from Zhu Hua's mouth before, now Lu Wu had roughly understood what was going on. I just don't know the details.
"The Stygian did it. Amber replied. "I don't know how they got here...... But...... As soon as you left at that time, I quickly felt the remnants of magic. A warlock attacked me. ”
Amber gently touched her chest with her hand, as if she had a palpitation.
This is a magical attack of the Seventh Law designed to provoke. Such an attack may have caused an ordinary person to fall silently to the ground and fall into a sleep for days, but for another warlock, it was just a provocation. In fact, in battles between warlocks, it is very rare for the seventh law to be used against each other. However, this attack is a simple but effective way for Amber, who is not a physical entity, to hit her directly. Moreover, because of the so-called "magic like the wind" characteristic, this kind of attack is difficult to dodge even for Amber, who has the magic power of the first law.
Fortunately, the other party did not know this. So that time was really just a provocation and didn't cause real damage to Amber.
Amber recounts what happened in detail. There are some things that Lu Wu can understand, and others that he can't understand will not affect his understanding of the situation. In short, Amber was lured to the enemy's ambush position by a typical provocation. Combined with what Zhu Hua said before, the comparison of the two aspects can fully understand what happened.
Everything was as the master predicted, it was a stupid ambush battle. Blinded by preconceived misconceptions, the Moon Warlock had no idea that Amber was not flesh and blood. Although almost all warlocks knew that the First Lawrcher had to separate his spirit and flesh in order to explore the countless worlds of the Aetheric Sea, so that he could enter those strange worlds and not perish because of the rules of the world (as mentioned earlier, not every world allows carbon-based creatures to exist. In those worlds where carbon-based organisms are allowed, there are also many worlds where the environment simply does not allow the existence of humans as a species.) But it's for a strange world, or a world that is clearly not suitable for human existence. Everyone knows that this is a last resort. Although the technique of separating the soul and flesh is mature, it is not a good thing for the warlock - regardless of the others, the warlock's body is a big trouble, the machine is easy to rust if it does not work, and the human body will also have a lot of problems if it does not move. Of course, not only that, but it can also cause a lot of trouble, at least it will make the warlock weaker and so on, there are many disadvantages. In short, everyone takes it for granted that since they are going to a world where human civilization exists, it should naturally be a physical past.
That's what the Moon Warlocks themselves did. It's also natural for them to treat others as they should.
This mistake made them lose unjustly. All their preparations can be said to be in the wrong direction, and in this case they have no chance of winning at all.
“…… He pulled out a gem constructed by the magic of the First Law. Amber was quick to get to the last detail of the battle.
