Chapter 20: The Hunted Boys and Girls

July 12, 197 in the continental calendar, Shui Yao, Wednesday, cloudy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Breakfast was over, and it was almost time to go.

Days removed the firewood that was still burning from the fire so that it could be extinguished as soon as possible. Washing dishes, Sophia and Melina rushed to do it.

"Young Master Days used magic to control the flames just now, and he is probably tired, so let's rest for a while."

Sophia was always so considerate, Days thought to himself.

Miss Rita seemed to have had enough rest, and rose from the ground, walked to the edge of the tree, and pressed a small white hand to the tree.

Just as Days was wondering what she was going to do, he heard a thud, and then a clack, and the tree split in half and fell to both sides.

- No, not two halves, but three petals.

There was a neat piece left in the middle, like a plank, no, it was a plank with a smooth surface.

Miss Rita probably achieved this effect with the Wind Blade, ah, how precisely it had to be controlled. Days was very suspicious that he would split it off, and that would be a waste of a tree that had grown for so many years.

That wasn't the end of it, Miss Rita's hand still hadn't left its place, and Days saw that the tree was starting to smokeβ€”no, not smoke, exactly, but steam.

In other words, Miss Rita is using her psychic power to communicate with the water elements contained in the wood, so that they can get out of the plank.

Once again, Days was amazed by Miss Rita's precise control, and he felt that he could probably only make this space very dry, and this plank would not be so completely dry, after all, it was combined with a deep water element.

If it could be controlled in this way, then the magician would not be free to kill people on a large scale - he would just evaporate the water of a group of people, and it would not be noticed.

The thick water vapor lasted for about three minutes, and then began to fade and fade as Miss Rita finally withdrew her little white hand.

"Come here, Dyce, come and help." Miss Rita smiled and hooked her hand at Dyce.

"Oh, okay." Days got up from the ground and walked briskly over it.

"Hold it on." Miss Rita was referring to the plank that was still attached to the stump.

"Hmm." Days held out his hand.

Miss Rita lifted the hem of her skirt with her hand and gave her leather shoe a quick kick to the plank.

Click.

Planks and stumps were separated.

Wow, Days panicked, he didn't expect it to be like this. However, the plank in my hand was not as heavy as I expected, and it was a little fluttery.

"Well, it's about that long, it's enough." Miss Rita used her right index finger to make a gesture from the root, then swiped it with her fingers.

And so a plank was bornβ€”a piece less than 2 feet wide and more than 9 feet long, smooth and lighter than any wood that had been sunbathed for ten days.

"Didn't you say yesterday that the magic power consumption of using the levitation technique to rush away was a bit large, and Rita thought of this way."

"Huh? Is it for us to sit on it and let the planks carry us on the flight? ”

"That's right, it used to be necessary to maintain the levitation technique of four people, but now it only needs to maintain the flight technique of one object."

"Well, it does reduce a lot of burden." I'm ashamed to say that the reason why I was able to get so far yesterday was thanks to Miss Rita's magical assistance. Because she had just been injured, Miss Rita strongly objected to Days using magic herself.

"And I can engrave magic runes on it." Miss Rita pulled out a magic pen from the storage space and quickly traced an intricate pattern on the board.

However, Days stared at it for a long time and didn't know the meaning of this pattern.

"This rune can communicate with the wind, and if you can construct this pattern in your mind when you meditate, your absorption of the magic of the wind system will be much faster."

"Oh." It's the first time I've heard of it.

Melina and Sophia also came back together, and they brought the kitchen utensils and other things to Miss Rita, so that Miss Rita could put them in the storage space.

After listening to Miss Rita's explanation, the four of them happily got on the simple magic airship.

Miss Rita needs to pilot the "magic airship", so she sits at the front. Because of her insistence, Dyce, as a "boyfriend", is right behind her, then Sophia and Melina.

"Take off, hurry up." With that, the planks took to the air and flew forward quickly.

The speed was beyond everyone's surprise, and one by one they grabbed the people in front of them. Days was scrambling and didn't know he was putting his hand where it shouldn't.

July 13, 197 in the continental calendar, Muyao, Thursday, light rain.

The invention of this means of transportation has increased the speed of a group many times. It could have taken 10 days to walk out of the territory of the kingdom of Cohench, but counting the first day, it only took three days in total.

From afar, you can already see the level on the mountain.

The planks could no longer be used, so Miss Rita put it away.

"Magicians are a rare asset in one country, and no one wants to see a magician in one country run away to another country. So, let's keep a low profile. , or you can easily be shot into a hedgehog. So, let's just walk over to it. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"What's the matter, Master Dyce, are you worried about something?"

"This ...... I don't know if I should say ......."

"Come on, we'll all listen carefully." Melina also persuaded.

"I think ......," Days said a little hesitantly, "Rita, Sophia, and Sister Melina are all very beautiful people, will they be embarrassed when they pass through the level?" Moreover, we were all walking and had nothing on us to prove our identity......"

"Uh-huh, that makes sense." Rita nodded, "Then we're dressed as beggars?" ”

"I don't think even if you dress up as beggars, you can't hide your beauty," Days felt his face start to burn, "especially Rita, you have the temperament of a noble girl ......"

"Well, don't say it," Miss Rita said with her hands over her face, then quickly lowered her hands again, "Of course, people are very happy when Days says that." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Otherwise, let's crawl over there." Melina pointed to the peak.

"There are sentinels there, and it's easy to spot."

"Miss Rita can turn us all into snow leopards and sneak over?" Sophia also came up with an idea.

"Wouldn't it be nice to be skewered on a stick and eaten by someone roasting?"

"It would be nice if Lucy-sensa was here, she could use illusions to help us get through." Days began to miss his student council president, Lucy, who never seemed to be stumped.

"Although Rita can't do illusions, Rita can definitely let everyone pass safely."

"Hey, does Rita have an idea?"

"Let's just go straight to it." Hearing Days mention another girl, Miss Rita was a little angry.

"Huh?!" "Wouldn't it!?" "Is that okay!?" All three were skeptical that this would be possible.

Miss Rita said she would do it, and took out the plank, but this time it was for a table, or a draft. Rita drew directly on it what she wanted - a car with enough defense.

"The planks on the outside, they are not dehydrated, and they are used to block the most common rockets."

"Add a layer of stone slab to it so you can prevent the Broken Arrow."

"Ah, as for the armor-piercing arrow, let's use magic to defend it."

This time the project is much more complicated and heavy than just cutting a plank before.

The four wheels, the axles, the floor of the car, the compartment with a mezzanine on all four sides, and the roof that does not have three layers but needs to be fireproof.

Fortunately, the slate is no longer needed, and Miss Rita still has the bluestone slab from the Holy Empire era that she obtained in the basement of the school last time. With it, you can't even ignore magical attacks, because it can absorb very powerful magical attacks.

When I was busy until the afternoon, it was finally done. Days alone struggled to push it onto the road, while the other three sat in the car.

The reason for this is probably that Miss Rita is still a little upset that Days thought of other girls.

"Young Master Dyce, is it really okay?" Melina was very uneasy.

"Nope! Affair! Dyce said word by word, "This! Be! Forging! Refine! ”

Days was in a really good state of mind, and everyone in the carriage laughed.

More than a hundred meters away from the outpost, the soldiers in the outpost had already noticed that something was wrong. Originally, when I looked at it from a distance, I thought it was a carriage, but there were no horses pulling the carriage in front of me. Moreover, the carriage is made of pure white cedar wood, and the carriage should be properly painted!

"Enemy attack!" After a few warnings of uselessness, the alarm sounded, and suddenly countless arrows stuck out from various places, ready to move. Outside, Deis felt several shuddering, it must have been a powerful magician scanning himself with mental power. Then, if you are a magician, you will also be discovered.

Sure enough, a higher-level alarm was raised, and the railing was lowered on the outpost, and obstacles began to be quickly placed to block the passage of Dyce.

"Hurry up, Dyce, I'm going to speed up," Miss Rita said excitedly in the carriage, "It's okay for Dyce to come up." ”

The car accelerated immediately, and Days was almost taken to the ground by the car, and after chasing it for some distance, Days adapted to its speed and successfully jumped in.

Subsequently, various attacks began to come.

Knock knock knock.

The sound of the car being hit outside.

Rumble!

The whole carriage shook, and it felt like the car was flying. It should be the magic of a magician!

Through the cracks, Days saw that something in the car had been blown away, flying far away, and when he looked closely, it was the wheels!

"Rita! The wheels flew away! ”

Bang.

The wheelless carriage slammed heavily on the ground, making everyone in the carriage tremble and squeeze into a ball. The surrounding guards thought it was done, and began to surround them with shields and weapons.

Miss Rita didn't show nervousness, but her face was full of excitement, and she made a mischievous expression at Dyce. Then he pressed his hand on the carriage -

"Hold on, take off!"

――Did you end up forcibly passing the level in a high-profile manner?

The heavy carriage soared into the air, and the group of soldiers behind them could swallow an egg with their mouths open, and looked at the people in the carriage with an expression of disbelief, getting farther and smaller and smaller.
