3 Attacked
After a long trek, it was already dusk. The light was not so bright, but it was not so dim, it was a good time to attack, the rolling hills provided a terrain to hide one's body, the temperature had been reduced so that one would not lose too much energy during intense activity, the winding roads and the sparse population indicated that the battle would be difficult for the Empire to detect, and all possible resistance would come from the people in this carriage. The commander who commanded the attack must have been an experienced and thoughtful man. Of course, only such a person can complete such a dangerous and difficult mission of attacking and killing deep behind enemy lines.
The carriage was hit in the corner by the crossbow arrows, although it shook slightly, but it was still relatively stable, and it seemed that there was an invisible shield wall blocking the attack of the crossbow arrows, and the mage Betty instantly recovered from the conversation with the children.
"The enemy attacked, and the children stayed in the carriage and clung to their seats. Never get out of the carriage. After saying that, Mage Betty jumped out of the carriage, and at the same time made a mysterious gesture in his hand, and jumped from the high-speed carriage, his body fluttering like a feather. After landing on the ground, he drew another gesture towards the carriage, and the carriage suddenly seemed to be activated by a magic array.
Hill was a little nervous, for his age, although he often heard that the war was tragic and the war was stalemate, but when the attack happened right now, it was inevitable that he would not be calm. Nina and Oleg were also frightened, but Teacher Betty's words comforted them, and the children clung to the seats of the carriage and forgot to speak for a moment.
Hill reacted faster, except for the crossbow arrow at the beginning that seemed to hit the carriage, although there were also crossbow arrows shooting at the back, but it seemed to be blocked by something, and did not reach the carriage. Courageous at the moment, he opened the curtain with one hand and looked out. I saw that Mage Betty was surrounded by fireballs, constantly shooting at a certain place, and at the same time, crossbow arrows shot out of nowhere also shot at Miss Betty from several places. It's just that every time an arrow comes close to Miss Betty, it will be shot down by the surrounding fireball.
Creature screamed from time to time in the valley in the distance, and Ciel even saw a knight on fire riding a bloodthirsty wolf trying to rush to Miss Betty, but he clearly overestimated his vitality and fell in the way of the charge when he was still a few steps away. This is already the most threatening feat that the attackers can accomplish.
The battle happened very suddenly, and it ended quickly, and the attacker obviously underestimated the strength of Betty Magician, which was obviously not just coming out to test the ability of the magician, at least it was also a veteran who had gone through the harsh battles on the battlefield, so he would accurately find the enemy in such a short time and quickly solve the battle.
Hill heard a whistle, and the carriage began to slow down before stopping. In a short time Miss Betty was back on top of the carriage, lifted the curtain and got into the carriage, and then snapped her fingers, and the carriage began to move again. However, the speed was much slower, the same as the usual speed of the carriage.
Teacher Betty didn't know that she had pressed the spot, and she actually pulled out a pen and paper from the carriage. I started to write the letter, and it didn't take long to finish it, and then I drew a six-pointed star array in the air, and there was a little fluffy guy who drilled out of the magic array, with big eyes and hairy little hands rubbing, looking like he hadn't woken up. I'm still muttering something.
"A magic coin," Ms. Betty said.
“Elo!” The hairy guy called. His eyes immediately lit up as if they were about to glow.
"Give the letter to my teacher, you know, the red-haired one. Betty is honest.
The little guy "Avon" seems to be very unhappy.
"Don't worry, just give her the letter, she won't do anything to you this time, I promise. Teacher Betty said.
“Gwestol?” The little one asked.
"In Betty's name, of course," Ms. Betty assured.
Teacher Betty's words worked, and the little one reluctantly picked up Miss Betty's letter, and as he left, looked at the other three curious babies in the carriage.
"They're my latest magic apprentices, but of course they're not, and this time it's urgent, so I won't introduce you to you, Pika Moe. Ms. Betty explained.
Then this cute thing disappeared into the six-pointed star array.
"What a troublesome task, three little ones, I didn't scare you just now. Although you have not officially become a magic apprentice, the road to becoming a magician can be full of thorns and dangers. It's not a teaching task that I've scheduled in advance, but it's good to experience it in advance. Exactly what happened today, then I am here to officially announce that welcome to the world of magicians, this is the first lesson of magicians, "Danger is everywhere". "After the battle just now, Ms. Betty was so excited that she began her formal teaching as a magic apprentice instructor.
"Miss Betty, what kind of creature was that?" Hill asked.
"That's right, Miss Betty, the plush is so cute!" Nina saw the magical creature summoned by Miss Betty, and forgot about the tense battle just now.
"Magic Courier, and as your introductory magic mentor, don't say it's cute in front of Pikamoe, this creature hates people to say it's cute. Ms. Betty replied.
"Do all magicians have magic messengers?" a weak voice sounded, and Oleg in the corner asked.
"Of course, every magician can get a magic messenger, and once you become an apprentice and master the use of magic, you can summon a magic messenger through spells. Ms. Betty replied.
"Teacher, why can't we understand what the magic messenger says? Teacher, the magic messenger you just summoned is in a strange language?" Nina asked.
"That's elven language, magic messengers are a kind of magic elves, and their language is elven language. You'll learn Elvish later. In this way, the magic elves can communicate. Of course, if you're lucky enough to summon a high-level magic elf, you can do it without elven language. High magic elves are fluent in any language. Teacher Betty said.
"Teacher Betty, who attacked us just now?" Hill was more concerned about the accident he encountered today.
"The bloodthirsty wind wolf is a warrior of the Oga Empire. They have secretly infiltrated the interior of the empire, and they don't know where they got the news and dared to attack us. But they didn't expect that this time it would be me, the genius fire magician Lord Betty. I don't know why they attacked us, but I've written to my teacher. The results should be available soon. "Ms. Betty, after the battle just now, seems to have a bad head.
"Are you scared of the battle, my dear students?" asked Ms. Betty.
"I'm not afraid. Hill's voice was calm.
"I'm not afraid. Nina didn't even see what was happening outside.
"Teacher, I'm a little scared. "Oleg didn't see the battle just now, it looks like he should be born timid.
"I allow you to be afraid, you are just beginning your path as a mage, and today's battle is just a small test on your path to becoming a true mage. "Miss Betty began her earnest teaching as a magical apprentice mentor.
After a thrilling battle, just for the children, and the magic of the magic displayed by Teacher Betty, the children realize how different the magician's life is from normal life. A long trek can create a problem, which is tiredness and hunger.
Teacher Betty is an experienced mentor, familiar with the distribution of the empire, knows the specifics of the carriage in a day, and when the sun has set and the sky has not completely darkened, the carriage arrives in a bustling town.
The mayor of the town, dressed in a sumptuous evening gown, was already waiting at the entrance to the town.
"Venerable Wizard Betty, welcome to Rose Town. "The mayor was very respectful.
The carriage stopped. Betty got out of the carriage and took the child out of it.
"Are you?" asked Betty.
"The mayor of the town of the despicable Rose, Dorocasarte. The mayor replied.
"How do you know my name?" said Betty, a little strange.
"Of course I told him!" a young man dressed in an exaggerated costume appeared from not far away. A handsome face, with a pair of black-circled glasses propped up on the high bridge of the nose. "My dear Betty, it's a pleasure to see you. ”
"Uther, why are you here?" Betty didn't look surprised to see Uther.
"As the leader of the Northern Monitoring Team of the Empire's Intelligence Supervision Department, of course I should be here. But you, according to the itinerary, should have arrived a quarter of an hour earlier. Uther said.
"There was an attack on the road, and all the time was delayed. You don't know that an enemy has infiltrated you, do you?" said Betty, looking angry.
Hearing Betty's answer, Uther was visibly affectionate.
"Where was it attacked?" Uther's triumphant expression had just vanished.
"It's not too far from where I've come to the winding valley. I have informed my teacher Serena Scarlet. Betty's reply was flat.
"Damn the wretch, how dare you do it here, these people should have been dealt with by you, but what about the corpses?" asked Uther.
"I haven't had time to dispose of the corpses yet, and if you set out now, you should have time to find them. I hope I haven't been eaten by a wolf yet. Betty said.
Uther did not know where to find a whistle, and blew it a few times, apparently some kind of signal, and soon came out four knights on horseback, but none of them were wearing armor, and one of them came with two horses.
Before the "captain" could speak, Uther had already turned on his horse and led the knight squad out of town.
"Doroka Sati, is it ready for dinner?" Betty saw that Uther had walked away, and the mayor had not yet come to his senses.
"Of course, Venerable Wizard Betty. The chubby mayor finally reacted. "Please. ”
"Kids, let's go, let's go for dinner, good luck today. Miss Betty was visibly happy.
