20. Kay who surfaced
The reeds stretch along the shore of the fish lake for several kilometers, and it is like a labyrinth to get into it, which is not all low-lying wetlands, there are dry mounds, and there are mud nests, but the most can be seen is the shallow water, most of the reeds are grown in shallow water, and running in the reed pond is a very hard thing, because not only do you have to push away the dense reeds, but also have to overcome the resistance brought by the silt under your feet, every time you take a step, your feet will be deeply inserted into the mud, and then like a turnip, pull it out with difficulty, and sometimes the boots will sink in。 Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The more difficult the place to walk, the better it is for me, as long as I survive until dark, I have the ability to escape, and no one can find someone to hide in the shadows in the night.
It is not an easy task to get rid of Linna, who is following her behind her. Of course, this assassin who had just come out of the city of Sloit, without the intention to kill, was also very embarrassed by my magic, her face was gloomy, and her anger was almost on the verge of exploding, but her good upbringing made her movements still very graceful, her speed was almost several times that of mine, and I don't know what means she used to lock me.
At first I thought that she had been able to catch up with me again and again because I had a peculiar smell in me, but later I found out that this was not the case, because even though I had rolled in the mud of the reed pond countless times, covered myself with mud, and dived into the mud and breathed only with a hollow reed pole, she could still find me. It took her a lot of effort to dig me out of the dirt, but she was very clear that she must have some kind of tracking method that I didn't know about.
However, in the process of chasing me, she repeatedly stepped on my Frost Scroll trap, and often chased after me with a body covered in frost and rage. She also had a lot of headaches with my myriad of magical skills. Although she is a very powerful martial artist, she lacks experience in surviving in the wild, and she doesn't know what a trap is, and she doesn't even have the heart to be on guard. However, it is clear that she seems to know some of these precautions. As long as it is a mistake that has been made, it will never be made a second time.
These most common frost scrolls are drawn with ordinary milky ink, which is sold in magic potions in El City, but it is not cheap, after I arrived in El City, I have sent all the gold coins on my body to Sister Guoguo's sisters, there is not much silver on my body, and I usually save the pocket money that Ryan and Fanny give me. Usually I can only buy a small bottle in two or three months, and even the leftovers of magic parchment here are expensive, these high prices make me a little nostalgic for the town of Gurudin on the Pai Plateau, where the materials and herbs of the orc tribe are so cheap.
Every time I saw her clenched fists clenched and released, I also knew that she was an assassin's ruthless skill, and she didn't make a move on me. In fact, she has been fantasizing that as a magician, I may run out of energy. Then she will be able to force me to give in. My physical strength was much better than she had expected.
I was like an otter, poking my head out of a puddle. Seeing that the reed ponds around were quiet, only the wind blowing on the surface of the lake, blowing the tender green reeds like wheat waves, I saw that the surroundings were very safe, and I made a splash in the puddle, and swam into the shallow water with both hands like a big loach. Standing up from the water with both hands on the mud, this time, in order to get rid of Linna's pursuit, he thought of a countermeasure, which was to be in the shallow water of the reed pond. I used the magic of "walking on water" on myself, and I was able to run like a fly in the reed pond, and after throwing Linna who was stuck in the mud far away, I plunged into the fish lake and sneaked for a few hundred meters, and then got out of a reed pond.
I can almost think of the helpless expression on her face, after these few contacts, I found that this Lina is very unsuitable to be an assassin, first of all, what she lacks the most is a killing heart, which is why I was able to escape under her hands several times, otherwise as long as she was a little ruthless, I wouldn't even have half a chance.
But now it looks like it's finally time to get rid of her. I secretly rejoiced in my heart, and after walking east along the reed pond and out of the road, I found a secluded place, and hung my wet clothes on the hot sand, while I hid under the tree to make up for sleep, and before I knew it, I fell asleep.
Maybe it was last night that consumed a lot of mental power and magic power, which made me extremely tired, and then I met Linna, who was chasing me, and played a game of lynx and mouse with her for most of the time, and then I was already exhausted, and after confirming that I really got rid of her, I was completely relaxed, and after falling asleep all of a sudden, I completely lost my vigilance.
When I woke up, it was already a starry sky, and I struggled to wake up from my sleep, and found that I had been lying under a tree for most of the day without any precautions, but fortunately I was not caught by the barbarians.
I looked up at the star chart, this habit I developed in the wasteland, every night I would look at the star map, slowly, over time I gradually came to know the many stars in the night, Rryant I like to study the stars is still very supportive, in the Grimm Empire astrology is a profound subject, he thinks I should indeed have some hobbies, and constantly instills in me how interesting the school club is, in Stans College there is even an astronomy club specializing in the study of stars, Rryant told me that after going to school, I must join a club that I am interested in, where I can expect many friends with the same interests。
Seeing the two Milky Ways in the night sky scattered on the east and west sides of the night sky in a figure-of-eight shape, I knew that it didn't take long for the night to fall.
I felt a little hungry in my belly, so that in the dark night, it was impossible to hunt again, so I turned two pieces of cottage cheese and half a piece of hard bread directly into my magic waist bag, and threw them into my stomach with a full fill, and I had to take advantage of the night to hurry, only at night, I felt that I was safe.
I packed my bags and continued to get ready to go.
However, I always felt like I was missing something, like I had forgotten something important. After checking the bags several times, I found that there were no missing items, so I continued on my way with doubts.
There is no way in this wilderness. In the dark of night, even if you stand on a high place, you can't see the distant scene clearly. The only thing that can tell the direction is the star map, and only by following the direction of the star map can you not lose your way. I groped my way out of the jungle that surrounded the fish lake, and after crossing two mountains, a familiar scenery finally appeared. At least I remember some impressions of this place.
Along the way, I didn't even meet the barbarians, and I suspect that maybe the barbarians only dared to operate in the outskirts of the city of El.
I was very annoyed when I thought that the barbarians had chased me the night before, and I should have fought back, at least I had magic, which would make me invincible, and if I couldn't fight it, at least I could escape. I touched my head with some annoyance. I thought to myself, why didn't I take advantage of the night to try the strength of those barbarians!
At this time, I suddenly remembered what I had left out: the colorful rain butterfly on the tip of Lina's hair!
I forgot to tell her that I was going to chase the butterfly away, or just pinch it to death. This can also explain how I got rid of her so easily, where I got rid of her, it was obvious that the colorful rain butterfly would do me a favor. At this time, the taste in my heart was not all relaxation and relief. On the contrary, I was a little heavy and hesitant, and when I thought of all the things that happened when Lina was chasing me, I wanted to turn around and go back and see how she was doing.
But I was worried that she would catch me directly when she saw me. Maybe after all this time, she had lost her patience and just waited for me to show up, grab me, and ignore me. Straight back to her team. But I don't want to be looked at me by them with a pair of eyes like a guinea pig, I still have my own is not done, I cherish everything now, I want to protect her two sisters for Sister Guoguo, at least I want to watch them grow up with my own eyes, watch them find their own happiness, these are originally what Sister Guoguo wants to do, and now I need to do this, I don't even dare to appear in front of them, but I don't pay attention to them all the time. I also want to find the evil mage Mondtroa and send him where he needs to go when I am qualified to challenge him.
So, I don't want to be noticed, I just want to do everything silently, this year is the fifth year, and it is also the age when I participate in the magic awakening ceremony and enter school, and I am afraid that I will not have time to see Sister Guoguo again in the future, so this time, although Fanny is so worried, so reluctant, but I still came out.
didn't expect to encounter so many messes, but finally couldn't hold back and rescued Moras and his daughter. Even more coincidentally, the guards who helped the city of Sloit escape from the barbarian encirclement, I think that by now, those barbarians probably won't know how those guards escaped from the blockade.
I forced myself to walk towards the city of El, but after only two steps I could not take another step, and I finally patted my forehead with my palms closed and said to myself, "This is the last time, this is the last time!"
As I spoke, I trotted all the way back the way I came, and I thought to myself: Linna, I hope you're okay!
I began to follow the path I had walked, groping backwards, and the images in my memory were turned out of the golden sea of spirit, and the photos in those fragments were connected into a beautiful picture. It was not easy to turn back, and several times I had found the barbarians lurking in dark places, and if I hadn't dealt with them several times, I would have discovered them by this time.
I don't know where so many barbarians came out, their camp has completely occupied the vicinity of the reed pond, and during the day, it is still empty, but now, it is no longer so easy to sneak into the Star Lake. I dissolved into a shadow like a light smoke, slowly and safely through the barbarian outposts.
Just by the lake, the barbarians actually set up a simple camp, the barbarians' tent is very simple, only need to cut a few huge oak trees to build a triangular house, and then use a large number of cowhide nails outside, it forms a huge tent, I stick to the wall and the shadow of the wall, slowly moved into the camp, now I have been able to hold on to half an hour in a state of invisibility, I did not find Linna's figure anywhere near the lake, but at the last place I left, I found some traces of fighting, I think Lina was caught by these barbarians, so I rushed into the barbarian camp at the risk of death。
These barbarians have a very keen sixth sense, these three-meter-tall barbarians are infinitely large, their strong thighs are thicker than my waist, they seem a little irritable, and their fat bodies tremble when they walk back and forth, I think they probably don't like to eat people too much, it's not that barbarians are not too interested in the women of the Grimm Empire, their physique is not suitable for being slaves in the north, they are just tools for those barbarians to give birth to human boys.
Walking to the very center of the camp, dozens of makeshift tents had been set up, all of which were made of new oak that smelled of tree oil, and the barbarians gathered outside the tents, and what surprised me the most was that I found human figures among the barbarian crowds, which were well-armed warriors, who guarded several tents of their own.
The thirteenth tent was lifted and the curtain was blown open a little by the wind. None of the people inside noticed that I was eavesdropping on their conversations, and I leaned down in the shadows, slowly revealing my human form, and quietly listening to everything I had about Linna.
The human soldiers changed into their normal clothes and talked to each other.
I was fascinated by these topics, and turned my head to look inside, and the soldiers were talking and laughing about a topic: "I heard that the plan of the barbarians has failed, and that it makes no sense for us to come this time, and it is really unfortunate that we have to spend the night in this foul-smelling camp." ”
"I heard that something went wrong at the castle too, and the two magicians fled!" said another soldier, piling his iron armor at his feet, and whispered to his companion.
"Do you think we will succeed in this mutiny, and will we die a lot?" asked the soldier who spoke first.
Another soldier hesitated before replying, "Probably not, as long as one side gives in, the struggle for power will stop." Will they need to be so clear between them? They would have been the masters of Sloit. I don't understand, what are these barbarians doing, and do you think they are not miserable enough to plague our homeland? These slave hunters should be sent to hell, and my aunt's whole family will die at the hands of these barbarians!"
"But I think Baron Kay is playing seriously this time, maybe he really wants to be the only master of Sloitt City! These barbarians are nothing but a little bigger. The soldier who spoke first also complained.
The ins and outs of the matter are already clear just between these few sentences. The mystery of these barbarians is also revealed.
It seems that all this was directed by the barbarian Baron Kai, I don't know who Baron Kai is, it should be some nobleman in Sloit, maybe it should be familiar with the female knight I saved.
I continued to look into the tent and saw that Lena was tied up in the corner of the tent, and there were several huge boxes piled up around her, but by this time she had come to her senses, and she was blinking at me. (To be continued.) )
