"Well, who's talking?!" the girl was stunned for a moment, then startled, and turned her head sharply to look in the direction where the voice came from, and flames flashed in the palms of her hands at the same time.

As a result, before he saw the other party, he felt that his whole body was wrapped in a powerful force, and he was forcibly dragged towards an unknown place.

At the same time, there was a "bang", and the three walls outside the house were knocked down at the same time, and many soldiers and knights in magic armor with shields appeared in the courtyard, surrounding the house.

Gawain appeared at the back of the group on his horse, squinting at the house.

"Miss Anne, you dare to go back to St. Louis? However, since you are back, don't think about leaving. After all, this is not the city of St. Louis of more than four months ago. ”

Gawain whispered, and with a wave of his hand, many soldiers rushed into the house on guard.

......

A minute later.

Gawain stepped on the wreckage of the house that had been bulldozed by the soldiers, and the dust around him was slowly drifting away.

Gawain frowned, turned his head to look at the soldier next to him and asked, "Didn't find anything?"

"Yes, my lord, I really didn't find anything. The soldier replied cautiously, "There are no secret passages, no cellars, but the people are gone." ”

"How is this possible?" Gao Wen pursed his lips, very disbelieving.

The soldiers surrounding him suddenly separated, and a wizard in black robe walked over and said, "It's the power of spells." ”

"The power of spells?" Gawain looked at the wizard who spoke, it was a third-level wizard of the Pombo family who was now a partner with him for the time being, "Master Sino, can you be sure?"

"I'm not sure. The black-robed wizard known as Master Sino shook his head lightly and said, "This is just my guess. But I believe it's right. In my opinion, the target has been surrounded, but the target can disappear inexplicably, and only spells can do it. ”

"But as far as I know, the other party is only a first-level wizard, no matter how talented she is, it is impossible for her to break through to become a second-level wizard during this time. Gao Wen said, "And she is not even a second-level wizard, how could she use such a powerful spell?"

That's right. The black-robed wizard said lightly, and then his voice was slightly sharp, "It's just Mr. Gawain, can you be sure that there is really only one person on the other side?"

Gawain's eyes shrank when he heard this, and he suddenly became vigilant: "You mean, the other party has accomplices?"

"Quite possibly. The black-robed wizard said loudly, "After all, with the strength of the other party, returning here alone can't do anything other than cause a little inconsequential damage. On the contrary, they put themselves in a dangerous situation, and if they are careless, they will be caught by us. Therefore, having accomplices and cooperating with each other is a more reasonable explanation. ”

"Understood, Master Sino, thanks for the reminder. Gao Wendao, turning his head to look at his subordinates, issued a serious order, "Notice, strengthen the vigilance inside and outside the city, double the number of patrols, and call me all the people who are on leave, so that they can keep an eye on all places to prevent accidents." ”

"Yes. The soldier nodded quickly.

......

The other side.

In a remote alley where no one was around, a gust of wind blew, and two people fell out of the wind.

A girl, a man.

The man is undoubtedly Richard who shot by the way, and the girl is the only bloodline of the Pombo family in St. Louis City - the former Miss Anne - Anne Pompo.

It can be seen that after four months, Anne Pompo's appearance has changed a lot.

The once shawl-length hair was cut into short ear-length hair, and because of the previous escape and sweat, most of it was wet and looked a little messy, but it couldn't hide the neutral heroic spirit that favored tomboys.

The once gothic-style makeup is completely invisible, except for the white powder deliberately applied for camouflage and the blackened eyebrows, at this time it is simply plain and looks very clean.

Anne was forcibly dragged into the alley by Richard with a spell, and as soon as she got out of control, her body immediately popped out and widened the distance. The body was low, and as soon as the hand grasped in the air, an ice pick like a dagger appeared, and he held it hard, making a gesture of extreme vigilance.

Anne looked over to Richard and asked, "Who the hell are you, and what do you want to do to me...... Hey, you!"

Anne blinked a few times in the middle of her words, recognizing Richard's appearance. Hold the movement stiff for about a second, then silently throw away the ice pick in his hand, exhale, "It's you!"

"Who do you think it is?" asked Richard.

Anne didn't answer, but looked at Richard suspiciously and asked, "How did you know that I was back in St. Louis and came so by chance to save me?

"Yes, Miss Anne, you've gotten a lot smarter in more than four months, you can guess it. Richard chuckled, then straightened his expression, "However, you guessed wrong—I didn't follow you, and I didn't set any spells on the crystal ball, which was just a spell item for ordinary communication."

The reason why I happened to meet you in St. Louis was that I went to the Soma Alliance a few days ago, and when I came back, I stopped by to see you. ”

"That's it. Anne's expression relaxed slightly, and she accepted the answer.

"I'm a little curious now, why are you going back to St. Louis City?" Richard asked aloud, "St. Louis City is very dangerous to you, you can't be unaware that the people here want to kill you." ”

"Of course I do. Anne said, pursing her lips, "Still, I just want to come back and see what they've made of my family." ”

"What are you going to do, take revenge on the other party?"

"I'm ......" Anne hesitated for a moment, then shook her head a little dazedly, "Seriously, I don't know what to do." My great-grandfather had told me to work hard to pass on the Pombo family, and that it would be better if I could recapture the city of St. Louis. But in the past four months, I have encountered a lot of things, and I have found it very difficult to fulfill my great-grandfather's instructions. And now I realize that there doesn't seem to be much point in fulfilling the entrustment.

What can we do if the Pombo family is revived and re-established? Without an eternally powerful force, sooner or later, the Pombo family will still be destroyed by other forces, and even the simplest imprint will not be left at that time. Is all my efforts aimed at final destruction? What should I pursue?"

At the end, Anne looked confused.

"It's kind of interesting. Richard listened and commented slowly.
