Chapter 168: A Nightmare in the Sewers



"You're a summoner too?" Adelia looked at the girl's dress in surprise, and there seemed to be a bit of the pattern of the robe beneath the dirty stain.

But the girl was so painful that she couldn't speak at the moment, she just clenched her teeth, and seemed to be desperately suppressing the pain in her body.

Adelia hurriedly recited the incantation slightly, gathered the life energy in her palm, and then injected it into the girl's body. But as soon as she touched the girl's body, she felt something strange.

Her body was different from that of a normal elf, and even from the creatures that Adelia had come into contact with, and the bones and organs in her body were significantly different from the elven body that Adelia remembered. What surprised Adelia the most was that there seemed to be several strange bodies and veins in her body, and it seemed that there was an incomparably powerful life spell that used life energy to forcibly pinch these different things into her body.

Perhaps because of the strange body, the boy's body strongly resisted Adelia's treatment, and even if Adelia tried her best, she could only temporarily restrain the pain, and could not recover the damage to her body at all.

After the emergency treatment, the girl's spirit improved slightly, and she barely supported herself and sat up with Adelia's support. The girl seemed to have a deep fear of her surroundings all the time, and she looked around uneasily, and then whispered, "Can you help me home?"

Adelia looked at the girl's weak appearance and nodded, but a wave of doubt arose in her heart.

Who is this girl with a special body? She is definitely not an ordinary person!

Adelia struggled to guess the girl's identity, then helped her up.

"My name is Adella, I'm from Sochima, what's your name?" said Adella tentatively.

"My name is Mira. ”

"Your ...... How did you get the injury?" Dellia didn't ask directly about the weirdness of her body, but tried to knock on the side.

The girl, Mira, was silent at the moment, her eyes became more frightened, and her body trembled uncontrollably, as if the question evoked a terrible memory.

Seeing Mira's distraction, Adella had no choice but to change the question.

"Forget it, you'll tell me next time. Where to go now, Mira. ”

Alerted by Adella, Mira slowly came to her senses from her fear, and she began to guide her through the woods and several remote alleys to the abandoned entrance to an underground sewer.

"It's finally here. ”

Seeing this dilapidated man-made building, Mira's expression was visibly relaxed. But Adelia cried out in surprise, she didn't expect Mira to hide in this filthy place.

"You've been hiding here?"

Mira nodded, then pointed to the gap in the iron gate at the entrance and said, "We can go through there." ”

The iron fence had been opened in a strange way, and the rough metal fractures were twisted and corroded. Due to the size of the hole, Adelia easily took Mira into the area, and then followed the walkway at the edge of the dark waterway to the depths of the sewers.

The sewers, though smelling bad, are wider than Adelia had imagined, and there is even a large platform inside, where Mira's hideout is located.

Adelia helped Mira onto the makeshift bed made of a pile of linen cloth and dried leaves, gave her another treatment, and then let her rest. Mira's pain seemed to slowly stop, and she quickly fell asleep from exhaustion, and it was only then that Adelia had time to look around.

It was a hastily constructed shelter, with only a few rudimentary shelters, and it seemed that Mira had just been here. However, this is a natural hideout, and you can avoid tracking and patrolling here. If the situation is urgent, it is also a good idea to use this place to avoid the eyes and ears of the King's Sword. The only thing that was a little unsettling was that there were some horrible scratches on the empty walls and tops of the sewers, as if some monster had once wreaked havoc here.

After exploring the surroundings, Adella sat back down by the wall and closed her eyes for a while until Mira woke up. After the rest, Mira recovered a little, and Adelia gave her the little dry food she had left, so that she could eat it with water.

Mira munched on dried fruit as she stole a glance at Adelia from her unkempt hair.

"Adelia, thank you, you are a good person. ”

Adelia smiled when she heard Mira's thanks. This feeling of being able to help people has made her feel fulfilled again. In the lonely days when Soqima was studying alone, she almost forgot how it felt.

"Eat slowly, if it's not enough, I'll go out and buy you something to eat." ”

When Mira heard this, she shook her head violently.

"No, it's too dangerous. I wounded those thugs just now, and they must be looking for us everywhere right now. ”

"Who are they?"

When Adelia heard this, she hurriedly asked. She also wanted to know why these guys had attacked her on the way before.

"I don't know, lately they've been kidnapping lonely foreign elves around here, like beggars or poor travelers. They tried to arrest me, but I avoided me. ”

"Don't the sheriffs care?" Adelia was a little surprised, this is the royal capital of the Elven Kingdom, and there is such an evil behavior.

"No one here cares about the whereabouts of these poor elves, and the sheriffs don't bother to track down these cases. ”

"What do they want to do?"

"I don't know. Maybe...... It's something terrible. Mira muttered in reply, her tone particularly unnatural.

"Since it's so dangerous here, why don't you come with me? ”

Adelia looked at Mira's pitiful appearance and couldn't help but feel, so she proposed. She has enough money and it is not a problem to bring Mira. Although her appearance is a little strange, as long as she covers it up, it is not a problem.

But hearing Adella's words, Mira shrank her body in fear.

"No, no...... I can live alone. ”

Adelia wanted to continue to persuade the child. But Mira shook her head resolutely, and she even asked Adelia to leave quickly.

"Adelia, thank you for your help, but it's time for you to go. ”

"Why?"

"There can be danger here. ”

"Danger?" Adelia looked around suspiciously, "If there's danger, you can hurry up and I'll go with you." ”

"No, I'm not going anywhere. "Mira is getting more and more stubborn.

Just as the two were arguing, another person's voice suddenly came from the darkness.

"Don't argue, you're not going anywhere. ”

At that moment, a dazzling flame flickered in the air, illuminating the surroundings.

A burly elf, clasped in his hands, sneered at Adelia and Mira. And beside him, squatting was an unusually strong werewolf, the beast glaring at the scarlet eyes, panting, and dripping with a strong smell of saliva on the edge of its sharp fangs.

"Two at a time! Looks like I didn't have bad luck today. If I hadn't brought a helper who could track your scent today, I would have almost let you escape! ”

The elf, who seemed to be behind the villains, smirked and snapped his fingers with his ring-covered hand, and a wall of fire spread out behind Adelia and Mira, sealing the way, and the glare of the dazzling light made the gnolls even more irritating, and its throat grunted with excitement, as if it might pounce at any moment.

"Damn, it's a natural mage!"

The opponent is skilled in using fire magic, and this guy must be very difficult.

Adelia took two steps back and began to chant the summoning spell silently, she was going to summon Jivin back as soon as possible. At the same time, Mira, who had not fully recovered her body, stood up bravely and stood in front of Adella.

Mira stared at the two enemies in front of her, then quietly alerted Adeleia.

"Don't be afraid, I'll pester them, you run quickly. Remember, no matter what happens, don't look back, rush out!"

"What?"

The implicit meaning in Mira's words made Adelia feel uneasy. This little girl seems to be planning to do something terrible.

Mira's appearance surprised the elf on the other side slightly, and he squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the bold elf girl. His eyes quickly caught the horrific scars on Mira's body.

The Born Mage's expression quickly changed from calm to surprise, from surprise to ecstasy. He even stuck out his tongue, licked his lips, and roared.

"We've been looking for you all these days, and now we've finally caught you, Professor Jaime's poor experiment!"
