Chapter 186: The Illusory Sword in the Night
Given, holding Mira, follows Jelly into a seemingly abandoned treehouse. Along the way, Jiwen kept an eye on the movements of "Jelly" while carefully probing his surroundings, beware of traps that might appear at any time.
But "Jelly" didn't seem to be lying, and the journey was very safe, he led Jiwen to the dining room in the tree house, then pointed to the large dining table and said, "Hurry up and put that child on it, I'm going to start the treatment." ”
Gawain swept all the old cutlery on the table to the floor, and then carefully placed the dying Mira flat on the table. At this moment, "Jelly" pulled out a box full of various medicines and instruments from the dark compartment of the cupboard and spread it out on the dining table.
Once the spell is cast, the cynical expression on Jelly's face disappears, replaced by a special focus. He chanted medical spells with precision, cast medicines, and then carefully manipulated life energy to infuse Mira's body in an attempt to repair his damage
A green magical glow enveloped Mira's body, illuminating Jelly's sweat-beaded forehead.
On this occasion, Jiwen could only stand quietly to the side, silently watching the treatment progress. But even a layman like Given's can see that the treatment is not going well.
"Jelly" stopped again and again, then frowned, and kept thinking about treatments, and the sweat on his forehead also soaked his hair, dripping down his face. He had done his best, but Mira's condition had not fully recovered. Although her complexion is much better now than before, she is still unconscious.
Jiwen was not in a hurry, after all, even the powerful Silver Moon guards could not cure her injuries, as long as "Jelly" could temporarily heal Mira's injuries and let her get out of the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest alive. But at this moment, Jiwen vaguely heard something unusual outside the treehouse.
Givens crept over to the window of the treehouse, poked his head out, and glanced down the street.
Some tall black figures have already arrived in the street outside the treehouse, quietly searching the buildings along the street, and will soon enter the treehouse.
Jiwen turned his head anxiously, his eyes fixed on "Jelly". Jelly also sensed the movement outside and stopped for a moment, he could already guess what was going on outside from Jiwen's movements.
But now the treatment is only half done, and the girl is not out of danger. At least wait until the treatment is done before you can move her. So he turned to Jiwen and asked, "Can you buy me some time?"
Jiwen looked at "Jelly", but his heart kept struggling.
He didn't want Mira to fall into the hands of the demons and their accomplices, but if he did stop the pursuers, Mira would have to entrust the mysterious "Jelly" to protect him, and he wasn't sure who the patron behind the intelligence dealer was, let alone how he would treat Mira.
Just when Given's hesitation, "Jelly" suddenly spoke. He seemed to guess the reason for Jiwen's hesitation, so he asked directly, "Why are you protecting this child? Is it the master's order?"
Jelly was actually curious, as he had discovered that the armored swordsman was actually just a summoned creature. And as a summoned beast, Jiwen is too serious and responsible to protect this child.
"No!" replied Given, shaking his head, "I promised a friend to protect her. ”
"A friend of a summoned beast?" Jelly seemed surprised, and her voice rose sharply.
"Isn't that ridiculous?" asked Given.
Jelly quickly shook her head and explained, "No, you misunderstood me. I think if someone is willing to be a friend of a summoned beast and entrust him with important things, then he must have his reasons. You should be a very interesting guy. ”
After saying that, Jelly took off a necklace hanging around his neck and threw it towards Jiwen.
As soon as Jiwen took the necklace, he noticed that there seemed to be a strange magic in the pendant of the necklace, pulling in the direction of "jelly".
"What does that mean?" asked Givan, puzzled.
"With this necklace you can track me down, so you don't have to worry I'll sneak away with this kid. At least I'll run away in front of you. Jelly replied nonchalantly.
Seeing that "Jelly" didn't care about lying at all, Jiwen put away the necklace, then straightened up, and instructed "Jelly": "If you cure her later, take her away quickly, don't let those people catch up." ”
"What about you?"
Givens patted the necklace in his arms and replied with great certainty, "I'll go find you." ”
"Jelly" looked at Jiwen's serious and almost terrifying eyes, and solemnly promised: "I promise you that I will only complete the commission between me and my patron when you are present." The rest is between you and him. ”
Anyway, the generous patron at that time only asked to bring the child out, and as for how to deal with the child's bodyguard, it was not a matter within the scope of the commission.
This result, beyond Given's expectations, he looked at "Jelly" a little gratefully, and then nodded.
"It's a deal. ”
"Swear by Evans!"
"Jelly" raised his right hand and finalized the agreement.
After receiving the assurance of "Jelly", Givens walked out of the house for the time being, sneaked quietly, and touched the side of the street outside the tree house. And at this moment, those dark shadows are close at hand.
The sandman warriors who were searching in the dark of night were checking the buildings on the street one by one. Master Karui, who was in charge of the operation, had already detected that the target was nearby by induction, and they just had to force the target out.
Just as the Sandfolk warriors were about to step into an abandoned treehouse on the side of the street, a black figure in full armor suddenly appeared on the otherwise smooth walls.
The black shadow with a sword in hand rushed silently into the ranks of the sandfolk warriors like the wind.
These battle-hardened Sand Warriors were not ordinary, and they immediately used their weapons to protect their vital points, but what they didn't expect was that the long sword in the black shadow's hand seemed to be an illusory phantom, like a ghost, passed through their blocked weapons, and then slashed through their own bodies.
But the blade that shone with black magic light was not just a phantom, every time it rushed out of the sandman's body, it was like a real sword blade, wrapped in a pillar of blood and a terrible scream, spurting out.
Almost instantly, the three sandman warriors at the front of the team fell in a pool of blood, and before the warriors behind could figure out what was wrong in front of them, the black shadow representing death had quietly approached.
Screams rang out in the night, and the sand warriors' strong bodies, skilled sword skills, and even innate wind and sand magic were rendered useless at this moment.
It took only a few moments for the vanguard of the manhunt team to collapse.
In the center of the procession, the demon elder Karui, disguised as an elf, looked at the darkness in front of him in surprise, the enemy's resistance far beyond his imagination.
Could it be a trap for the Silvermoon guards?
With the demon's night vision, Karui desperately surveyed the street not far away, as if trying to find some clues.
In the dark streets, a black figure with a long sword was shuttling back and forth, and one by one the sand warriors rushed in front of him, trying to block his way. But the shadow passed through their bodies like nothing, and then split them in two with the blade of his sword.
It's that astral monster!
Karui recognized the enemy, and his teeth gritted. This spirit monster seems to be stronger than mentioned in the intelligence, at least in the southwest of Sodima City, he can't give full play to the characteristics of the spirit like this. If you want to stop him, you have no chance of winning by hand-to-hand combat.
Karui shouted an order: "Use magic and props!
The sandfolk warriors and elven mercenaries around Karui immediately went into action, and in an instant, countless flashes of magic lit up the otherwise dimly lit streets.
Flames, thunder, sand, and acid mist sealed the streets, creating a magical barrier that blocked Jiwen's path.
