7. Voices and Spells (I)
Looking at Cang Yan's cold and silent figure, Zhang Longqian seemed to twitch somewhere in his heart, and the incomprehensible anxiety gradually surfaced again, causing her brain to suddenly go into chaos, but she heard the sound of the human-faced horse's belly gritting teeth.
"It's really a mage......
Ignoring what the horse's belly said, Cang Yan just raised his other hand, and a ball of flame appeared out of thin air, and then suddenly expanded, slapping towards the horse's belly like a huge wave of flames, but the horse's belly's reaction was very sensitive, and it broke away from Cang Yan's hand and flew back, dodging the fierce attack of the flames. seemed to know that it was not good to fight with the mage, and after making contact with Cang Yan, the horse fled quickly without looking back.
"Can't keep it!"
Knowing how persistent a person who wants revenge will be, and is even likely to involve innocent people, Zhang Longqian subconsciously shouted out when he thought that the people around him would bear dangers that had nothing to do with them.
Glancing at Zhang Longqian, Cang Yan didn't say anything, but put away the flames and chased after him at an astonishing speed.
In the blink of an eye, he lost the figure of a demon and a person, Zhang Longqian was stunned, and then realized what he had just done.
Am I stupid? I don't want to have anything to do with them, so why do I want that guy to solve things for me?
Thinking about her, her expression became a little gloomy.
When the horse's belly appeared just now, even if her eyes could see it, she couldn't keep up with the speed of the horse's belly at all, if it wasn't for Cang Yan's timely attack again, she would have died. What can she do like this?
It can only be ...... It's just someone else......
couldn't help but fall into self-loathing, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but lower his head and sighed.
"The ......"
Some gentle voices sounded beside him, and Zhang Longqian remembered that there was still a Nangong floating, so he cheered up and looked at him: "What's wrong?" ”
"You...... Isn't it really 'casual practice'? ”
Looking at Nangong Piao's serious expression, Zhang Long couldn't help but feel the urge to hit him, she was silent for a while before she endured it, and then said, "...... Are you still talking about this? If I were really that kind of 'loose cultivation', would I still rely on that red hair to clean up that horse's belly for me? ”
Hearing Zhang Longqian's denial again, Nangong was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of panic appeared on his face, and his speech became incoherent: "That...... I...... What did they tell you...... What mortals can't know...... Whoa...... Oops, you'll be punished......" he said as he squatted down with his head in his hands, looking overwhelmed.
That panicked and uneasy look made Zhang Longqian speechless for a while, and she couldn't help but be suspicious.
This guy is too far from that redhead, right? Is he really a mage?
Just as she was thinking like this, there was a sudden murderous intent in the air.
“…… Die! ”
The moment she heard that voice, Zhang Longqian immediately turned around, and saw a horse belly that was slightly smaller than the one that had escaped attacking, and her mind couldn't help but pass over what Nangong Piao had said.
“…… Usually they will have at least three of them together......"
There's one more!
Although it was slightly slower than the previous one, its attack was still more fierce than humans, and Zhang Longqian only had time to subconsciously raise his arm to block it, and the strong attack had already brought a terrifying wind pressure to attack, stirring up the emerald green brilliance.
Hey? Light?
I clearly remember that there was no light on the horse's paws, how could there be light now? In confusion, Zhang Longqian put down the arm that was covering his vision, but saw a translucent emerald green light shroud enveloping her, blocking the attack of the horse's belly, and at the same time, a worried and gentle voice came from behind him: "Are you okay?" ”
Turning his head to glance, he saw Nangong Piao, who was also within the range of the light mask, raising his left hand, his palm facing this side, and there was a trace of worry on his face that was not concealed. Obviously, he was the one who made the mask.
This guy ...... Sure enough, he's a mage......
Somewhat unwilling to admit in her heart, Zhang Longqian looked at the horse's belly that was so angry that her face was twisted because her goal was not achieved, thinking that they would actually lure the "mage" Cang Yan away, she couldn't help but be a little surprised by their flexible thinking, and then saw it retreat a little, waving its claws and chanting words, looking like it was preparing something.
Although it wasn't very clear, it was obvious that it wouldn't be a good thing, so Zhang Longqian looked at Nangong Piao and said, "Is it preparing to release ...... 'witchcraft'?" ”
"Hmm!" Nangong Piao nodded.
"You're still free, 'huh'?" Looking at Nangong Piao's straightforward appearance, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but sigh, "Since you know that it is preparing, why don't you clean it up?" Do you have to wait for it to finish preparing the hex? ”
Originally, she wanted to do it herself, but she couldn't react under the attack of the horse's belly twice in a row, Zhang Longqian also understood that she couldn't deal with these "monsters", thinking that this was originally the job of the "mage", she simply threw away the unwillingness in her heart, and directly threw this stall to Nangong Piao.
But hearing Zhang Longqian's normal proposal, Nangong Piao looked away and stood up: "That...... No way...... I can't do ......."
"What?" The unexpected answer made Zhang Longqian a little incomprehensible, "Shouldn't you have any idiotic rules like 'no sneak attack'?" ”
"Of course not!"
"And what do you mean by that?"
"It's literal, I...... I'm not good at attacking ......" looked at Zhang Longqian in disbelief with a somewhat evasive look, Nangong Piao's voice gradually decreased, "Because I'm a support type, I'm very good at casting the 'protective shield', and the attack is ...... That's why he ...... with Yan."
Faced with a youkai, the mage actually said that he would not attack? This is definitely the most unfunny joke Zhang Longqian has ever heard, and she couldn't help but widen her eyes: "You're not good at attacking?" Aren't you a mage? ”
Hearing Zhang Longqian's words, Nangong Piao's eyes flickered even more: "Actually, we ...... Not a mage...... Or 'yet' not a mage, we're students......"
“…… Ha?! Slightly stunned, Zhang Long couldn't help but let out a shocked sound. At this time, she heard the sound of the horse's belly outside gradually sounding, and she didn't have time to care about such a strange thing as "mages also have schools", she just couldn't help worrying about how much level Nangong Piao, who was just a "student", could have, and asked with luck: "Then you will always draw two charms, right?" ”
This time, Nangong Piao's attitude was much more reasonable, but the words he said were not exciting at all.
"I didn't study because the majors are different."
The first time I heard that mages not only have schools but also specialty, Zhang Longqian felt that she was about to faint, but Nangong Piao continued to beat her fragile heart.
"And after leaving the academy, now my mana has not been affected by any 'amplification effect', and my spiritual power can only barely reach the 'Xuan' level, even if I still know some powerful spells, I can't use this spiritual power at all."
couldn't help but pat his head, Zhang Longqian almost looked up to the sky and sighed.
In the face of a youkai who wants to take my life, is the only idiocy I can rely on?
