"This is my old lady's letter!" Marcus cried out. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the dim light, he recognized the maple leaf on the wax, it was the family crest of their Mipuo family, only his eldest brother Igus and sister Minelma had obtained permission from the Grand Duke of Maple Leaf to use the family crest, and this maple leaf had a very peculiar crease, which Marcas recognized as a small habit peculiar to Minerma.

Morin had just woken up from a nightmare, and was screaming like mad to find Minelma, but before he had left the house, the old lady's letter was suddenly delivered to their dormitory, and the coincidence was so frightening that Marcus only felt that the hairs on his body stood on end.

At this time, the sky was just faint, although there was Marcus's ball of light, the light in the room was still very dim, Barron hurriedly opened the lighting crystal, and at the same time, Avino and Tilna also arrived, they had just heard Morin's shouting next door, thinking that something was wrong.

Under the gaze of everyone, Morin was about to open the letter in his hand.

"Wait, wait!" Marcus cried out uneasily.

He took the envelope from Morin and carefully examined the blades on the sealing wax before returning it to Morin.

He nodded palely: "I'm afraid that there is something wrong, take a second look, this is indeed my sister's letter." ”

"Pete is Professor Anna's silver-feathered pigeon, and there will certainly be no problem with the letter he sent, but I don't know how your sister is with Pete. Maureen said as he removed the sealing wax.

Inside the envelope was a piece of magic stationery.

"It's ...... Magic map?" Merlin hesitated.

"It should be. Tilna on the side said.

I saw the letter floating in front of several people, and some glowing lines began to appear on it, outlining a simple pattern, and Merlin recognized that this was the general terrain of the Iluvita Academy of Magic, which was very similar to the map given by the academy elves.

Immediately, a small red circle appeared on the dormitory castle, and a dotted line slowly extended from the red circle to the mountain outside the academy, where there was a small red cross.

There is also a small line of handwriting below the map, which Maureen whispers:

"Sorry to bother me so early, please come here and meet me as soon as possible, it's the place marked with the red cross on the map, I'll be waiting for you here. There are important things that are not safe enough to talk in the academy...... If it's convenient, you can call Marcas and they come along. ”

"Let's go!" Morin said without hesitation, grabbing the magic stationery.

"Wait a minute!" Marcus shouted, "Morin, you still have a mock chess match today!"

Morin was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the map again: "...... It should be too late to run over, right?"

Tilna calculated the distance and said, "According to the speed of the three of you, if you don't delay there for too long, you will definitely be able to make it to the war paddock in time to participate in the race." But at the pace of me and Marcas, it was a little nervous. ”

"I'm just going over there and telling Minelma some very important information about the lost manuscript, and Fez, and the organization behind him. It shouldn't take long. Maureen thought for a moment: "Marcas...... Can you drive the mechanical bird with Tilna? It's the magic bird generation of the Misul Machine. ”

"I can try!" Marcus said excitedly.

When he heard that he could fly the Walker, he immediately put his doubts aside.

Besides, the thought of taking Tilna with him, Marcas only felt his little heart pounding, and perhaps a thought flashed through his mind: "When did she become so polite, old lady, and actually wrote 'Sorry to disturb so early' or something, it always feels weird." ”

But this thought was only fleeting, and it did not really leave any trace in his heart.

After trying out the open space outside the castle in the dormitory, Marcas confirmed that there was nothing wrong with it, that the Walker could carry the weight of both of them, and that it was moving smoothly, and he prepared to go with Merlin to meet Minerma.

Aminor and Barron also offered to go with Morin.

So, under the light of the morning sun, the group walked along the secluded road through the forest area like morning exercises, and quickly ran towards the remote mountains according to the route drawn on the magic stationery......

……

Minelma removed her disguise.

At this distance, Faith looked into her eyes at once, it was definitely not a coincidence, and there was no need to disguise it anymore.

The question now is when she was exposed, and it's up to her to judge the whole situation.

She placed her greatsword in front of her and looked at Faith warily, her mind quickly recalling every detail from before.

"You're wondering when you were exposed. Faith said slowly.

It was far away, but he used the technique of magical voice transmission, and it sounded as clear as if it were in his ears.

Minelma raised her eyebrows, and the strength of the sword in her hand was a little heavier, and she did not answer.

"Are you wondering if you were exposed when you were tracking me in that difficult terrain area just now, or when you were lying in front of my treehouse door last night to spy on me, or ...... It was revealed when he started investigating me earlier. Faith still looked relaxed, his hands behind his stocky frame and a faint smile on his face.

"You want to test when I started investigating you, you can guess. Minelma sneered, it felt bad to be controlled by her opponent and she decided to fight back.

"Oh?" seemed to hear something funny, and Faith smiled even more:

"It's a good thing for you to try to break my grip on this conversation. ”

"But you don't seem confident enough, especially the hand that holds the sword, it's too hard, and you must not have been trained in this area in your daily life," he shook his head, looked at Minelma again, showed a playful smile, and said softly, "Isn't it? Lady Minelma, the eldest daughter of Grand Duke Maple Leaf, who was born on a midsummer night twenty years ago, is known as the 'Sword Bearer of the Sky'?"

A circle of ice chips exploded on Minelma's blood-colored greatsword.

Her heavy armor and great sword are not difficult to identify, "Sky Sword Bearer" is also the meaning of her name in the ancient elf language, those who know the ancient elf language know this title, and she is also known in the Gesuok aristocratic circle as the eldest daughter of the Grand Duke of Maple Leaf this year.

But she was born on a midsummer night, which is not something that can be known by hearsay.

Faith had already investigated himself in advance, and this was the worst-case scenario.

"Do you still think I'm testing you, Minelma-san?" Faith smiled.

Minelma controlled her mana fluctuations, took two deep breaths, and adjusted herself to the best state for the battle, since Faith had investigated himself in advance, it meant that he was also prepared.

No matter how you look at it, a fierce battle is inevitable today.

"The only thing I don't understand is, how did you track me down?" Fez, who didn't change his guard at Minerma, still with his hands leisurely behind his back:

"I think I've been careful enough to do anything, and I've never made a mistake, how did I get your attention?"

Minelma pondered for a moment, then spoke, "You didn't leave a record of your entry and exit from Honorom's office, and you didn't leave a record of the cane you took with you. ”

"Oh-" Faith raised his stubby eyebrows, not looking surprised, "Sure enough, it's that little imp from Morin." ”

Minelma's eyes flickered.

"It was true that I missed it at the time, but then it was an accident that allowed that little ghost to survive until now. Faith shook his head, and said, "I'm still curious, where did that cane come from? You've been investigating for so long, what do you think I'm doing, and what do you want to do with this fully armed appearance, I don't seem to have done anything harmful, right?"

He asked three questions in a row.

"Do you still have to pretend to be now? Minerma sneered: "Since you are an accomplice of that man, it must have something to do with the tragedy 'The Nightmare of Lothar' thirteen years ago, and if my guess is correct, your organization is the sect called 'Wings of Dusk', a group of cultists who want to extinguish the fire of order." ”

Faith raised an eyebrow again, "'Wings of Dusk'?" is what the Temple of Nature calls us?"

Minerma's breath faltered, and he actually knew that he belonged to the Nature Temple.

"What if I told you that your so-called 'Wings of Dusk' are just our outlying organization?" Firth put his hand in front of him and played with his fingers, "Besides, how could anyone want to extinguish the flames of order, this is a bit bizarre. ”

"Who knows what you lunatics think!" Minerma snorted.

"I advise you to be obedient and arrested, and then honestly confess the forces behind you, maybe you can suffer less!" she said oppressively.

Fez, ignoring her, muttered to himself, "'The Nightmare of Lothar'...... I see, you can trace the clues, and after thinking that there is a 'forsaken', the contract is already so weak......"

Feth didn't act, and Minelma didn't either, just staring at Firth in case he suddenly made a move.

Time passes slowly.

It wasn't until Faith looked up at the sky and the sun had risen a lot that he said, "Since there is a natural temple behind you, presumably the Holy Law Enforcement Team is already on the way?"

"It's good to know, just tie your hands down!" said Minelma coldly, trying to hide a trace of doubt in her eyes.

"But have you ever wondered why I didn't run when I knew the law enforcement team was on the way? I wasn't arrogant enough to think I could stand up to the law enforcement team of the Nature Temple. Faith asked.

"With me, you can't run away. Minerma said coldly.

"Young man...... Always overestimating yourself...... But who isn't?" Faith waved his hand: "You've been trying to talk to me or stalemate, even going so far as to give me some information, just to hold me back and wait for the law enforcement team to arrive." ”

"But actually, I don't want to run away, at least not immediately. You contacted the temple yesterday, and it will take at least half a day for the temple to draw out manpower, and when the law enforcement team arrives here, it will be noon. He smiled strangely: "I have to say, as a young man, you have done a good job of investigation and concealment, but unfortunately, you don't know what kind of opponent you are facing." ”

"Remember the silver-feathered pigeon I released in the morning at the door of my office?" asked Feiss.

Minelma's eyes froze, and a bad feeling filled her heart.

"The silver-feathered pigeon sent me a letter to Maureen, asking him to assemble here, written in your name. Faith put away his smile: "Since you want to clean up, you have to clean up, I am a very serious person." ”

"Maybe your brother will come too, and you two won't be too lonely to return to the embrace of the moon god together. ”

The blood-colored greatsword in Minelma's hand suddenly erupted with a strong frost sword aura.

All kinds of phenomena show that Firth didn't lie just now, and since he had already noticed his investigation, there were many opportunities to disappear, but he didn't, so it was likely that he really wanted to erase the existence of "insiders" like himself and Morin.

Minermar certainly wouldn't be afraid of fighting, and she was ready to do her best to hold Fez, but she had to warn Maureen that if Maureen, Marcas and the others really came here to find her and strayed into the battlefield, it would be no different from looking for death.

Therefore, she suddenly activated her sword qi with all her might.

The frosty white and cold sword qi instantly condensed into countless fine ice crystals, shining under the morning sun, stabbing towards the sky with the sharp sword.

However, this sword qi was blocked by an invisible barrier.

Faith just casually raised his hand.

Minelma was stunned for a moment, then her face froze.

"Oh? is this recognizable?" Firth said unexpectedly, "It is worthy of the famous Sky Sword, and it can become a reserve of the Holy Law Enforcement Team before graduating, and the youngest law enforcement officer in hundreds of years, he still has knowledge." ”

Hearing Fez's admiration, Minelma's face was still as cold as ice.

When the invisible barrier appeared just now, she felt the magic fluctuation under her feet, it was the magic barrier that had been arranged, but the problem was that she was still quite far away from Fez, and such a wide range of magic enchantment should not have such a strong effect, at least not so strong under Fez's control.

There is only one legendary enchantment that fits the situation at hand.

Take the body as the boundary and use life as a rope for life.

In the records, as long as the life cage is activated, it is to use one's life as a rope to tie the opponent to oneself, forming a realm of its own, which can enter but cannot exit, and will not die. This barrier is expensive, has no offensive effect, and is extremely complex, but the effect of locking enemies is more than any magical barrier.

As long as the person who activates the life cage does not die, the rope will continue, and no one can break free from this cage, and even no one can affect the outside world at all, no matter how strong the strength is.

But in other words, as long as you kill the initiator, you can leave.

The Minelmati sword charged at Fez.

……

"Huh?" Morin slowed down and stopped at the top of the ridge.

"What's wrong?" the others stopped.

"I just felt a fluctuation of mana......" Merlin squinted at the mountain ahead, the ridge flattening not far away.

He glanced at the magic stationery, which was now close to his destination.

"Probably an illusion...... the young man shook his head, he seemed to feel a strong magic fluctuation just now, but it disappeared in an instant, which seemed extremely unreasonable, and could only be classified as an illusion.

"It's coming soon. Morin said, restarting his pace and leading the others to the rendezvous point with Minelma.

Maureen was at the front, Barron was second, Aeno was third, and Marcus rode the mechanical bird with Tilna at the end.

In order to get back to the war paddock in time to participate in the competition, they marched very fast.

Jump over a shallow ravine and pass a large pile of rubble.

Suddenly, Morin, who was running at the front of the line, seemed to have crossed some boundary and disappeared in one fell swoop.

Barron followed the most, didn't react, and disappeared from the field of vision of those behind him.

Seeing Morin disappear, Eminor hurried to catch up.

Only Marcus stopped the mechanical bird in time to stop in front of the border.

"How...... What's going on?" Marcus exclaimed, "Why is there an illusion enchantment here?"

The people in front of them all disappeared after crossing a boundary, and Marcus couldn't see that there was an illusion barrier in front of him at all, which was arranged by the old lady?

Minerma is obviously the old lady who only appreciates the aesthetics of violence and always slashes with a big sword.

"It should be your sister's illusion, didn't she say in the letter that it was not safe to communicate at the academy, and this illusion enchantment should also be for safety," Tilna, who was sitting behind him, said, "Let's follow up too?"

Marcus swallowed in a dry throat and hesitated for a moment.

After all, he forced down the uneasiness in his heart, and activated the mechanical bird, leading Tilna into the barrier.
