Chapter 12: Confronting the Servant
Chapter 12: Confronting the Servant
Without waiting for her to answer, I took her hand and ran downstairs. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The building we were in seemed to be a high-end hotel, about 20 stories tall.
Although there is a staircase leading downstairs at the top of the building, the door to the staircase is naturally locked.
"Olivia."
She seemed to understand what I meant, destroyed the lock with a black magic orb, opened the door to the stairs, and Olivia and I immediately ran downstairs.
And almost as we fled downstairs, I noticed the masked servant jumping to the roof of the building.
The invincible space magic and super physical ability are worthy of an opponent who has no chance of winning for a magician, and he can't find a breakthrough at all.
"In short, if Olivia's very existence itself will be perceived by that servant, we must not be able to get rid of him at all, is there any way to disturb his cognition?"
"I only know that generally speaking, Servants can't perceive magicians outside of their field of vision, and even if they are within the range of perception, if there are too many of them, it will affect their judgment."
"Sounds like simple-minded creatures."
"It's true, but the minds of A-class servants are more high-end than those of B-level and C-class, and it seems that even if you have a field of vision, you can't escape."
"Moreover, he can sense us on the street with a large number of people, so the limit of numbers is useless to him, right?"
"That's not necessarily, otherwise A-level Servants wouldn't need a large number of C-Class Servants to be their eyes and ears."
Indeed, if you can't provide the high-level Servant with the information of the magician, then the C-rank Servant will become a character who simply delivers food to the Magister.
If a demon has a little intelligence, he will not do such a thankless task.
And this also shows in disguise that the large number of people will indeed interfere with the cognition of the servant.
While thinking about this, the masked servant had already caught up.
Unlike the C-rank Servant, who moves slowly, this A-Class Masked Servant is exceptionally agile, and he can cross a set of stairs with a single leap, and Olivia and I will probably be caught up by him even if we run down with all our might.
Fortunately, in the past, because of my special physique, I have seen a lot of such crisis occasions, and I can calmly think about the escape plan.
Looking back, I remembered the sign of this high-end hotel that I had just seen.
This is a fairly famous hotel in the city.
Although my family is not a wealthy family, my family still came here once when I was a child because of something to celebrate.
The first three floors are the cafeteria, and the upper floors are basically accommodation rooms, although that was about six or seven years ago, but since the name of the hotel has not changed, the structure inside should not be changed much.
Obviously, the flow of people in the accommodation area above the 3rd floor must be scarce, and even if you escape inside, you will be easily spotted by this masked servant.
And the dining area below the third floor, which is now close to the meal, should have a lot of traffic.
But the problem is that we just ran to the 19th floor, and it is impossible for us to insist on going down the 15th flight of stairs without being caught up by the masquerade.
"Olivia, can your teleportation magic pull me to you?"
"For the Magister, this kind of teleportation is basic magic, and I can leave a mark on your hand right now, but with my current magic power, teleportation of 100 meters is the limit."
"100 meters, 15 floors, it seems to be enough, can it be marked when running like this?"
"Yes!"
Out of my eye, I saw that she had planted a small purple glowing magic circle on my left hand, which was probably a sign of success.
So, I took Olivia's hand and rushed out of the staircase on the 18th floor.
"Are we—?"
"Find an elevator."
As I rushed out of the staircase, I glanced behind me, and not surprisingly, at the staircase of such a building, there is usually a structural diagram of the entire building.
According to my estimates, it will only take about 10 seconds for the masked followers to catch up with us.
Normal people may not be able to analyze the structure diagram in such a short period of time and find the direction in which they want to go.
However, probably because of my protagonist physique, who is good at dealing with danger, the more I am at this time, the more my brain seems to be unusually clear as if it is not my own.
In 3 seconds, I found the location of the elevator.
"Zhao Jie, he's here."
"I know."
Remembering the location, I picked up Olivia again and ran, and almost at the same moment, a slash burst out of the staircase.
"Olivia, I have one thing to confirm with you right now."
As I ran towards the elevator, I said to Olivia.
"What's the matter?"
"Will the elevator work?"
"Are you underestimating me, and Zhao Jie, you also have to use the elevator at home."
Of course, I knew I needed an elevator to get out, but I really hadn't seen Olivia use the elevator to get out of the house.
But since she could use it, it was easy to say, and as I ran down the hallway, I pointed to a fork in the road about twenty or thirty meters ahead.
"It's the elevator to go there, you go down to the second or third floor and find a secret place and use teleportation magic to pull me over, understand?"
"But Zhao Jie, what should you do?"
I stopped and looked back at the masked servant.
"Someone has to drag it, or it cuts the rope in the elevator shaft and we'll just fall to our deaths, so you go."
"Zhao Jie, you-" She seemed to be hesitating about something.
"Go, do you want to die here together!?" I shouted in probably the harshest voice of my life.
It also takes time to call the elevator up, so if Olivia leaves a second early, our chances of survival will increase by one point.
As if she understood what I meant, Olivia turned around and ran down the elevator shaft.
And I'm confronted by this masked servant.
I'm not a magician, so I'm not a target of a Servant.
According to Olivia's previous words, as long as someone like me doesn't go to see this guy, he won't attack me.
That's right, since he appeared, all the attacks have been directed at Olivia as a magician, and if I pretend not to see this servant and leave, he probably won't care about me, and will continue to chase her.
But-
"I can't let you go here."
I looked directly at the Servant and declared.
And the Servant stopped because of my sight, and when he noticed my sight, he made me an enemy that should be dealt with first.
The feeling of danger struck a nerve at me, and I immediately crouched down, and instead slashed my hair through it with a shot of space.
It's really a very dangerous skill, and I just realized that this guy doesn't need to move his body at all to launch an attack, without warning, and the spatial slash itself can't see the trajectory with the naked eye.
Fortunately, my main character's constitution can help me sense and avoid danger, even if it is a danger that I can't see with my eyes, otherwise Olivia and I would have been cut into several pieces.
