Chapter 44: The Pursuit
When Robin ran to Rowling's room, it was empty.
Only the open window is proclaiming something.
There are organic black ink marks on the windowsill.
It was left behind by a vampire's blood-stained boots.
The wind rushed in from outside the windows, blowing the curtains and lifting the sheets.
The temperature of the whole room seems to have dropped a few points.
"What just happened?"
Robin came out of the room, grabbed little Arce by the collar with both hands.
Now all this can only be known to this guard.
Little Arce's eyes were distracted, her head tilted to one side, still unable to believe the reality of her failure.
Syllable!
Robin raised his hand and gave her a heavy slap in the face.
At this time, everyone in the temple who sensed that something was wrong came to the second floor.
Little Arce felt the burning pain on his face, and then he raised his head as if he had just woken up from a dream.
"Mistress Rowling, she's ......," little Arce's voice choked up, and said with difficulty, "captured by the vampires." β
"Vampire ......?"
Robin was struck by lightning and stepped back.
But his brain reacted immediately, and it wouldn't have taken more than twenty seconds from the time Rowling screamed to the time they showed up.
"It's still too late." Robin stood up and looked down the windowsill, "She hasn't been taken away for long, and we can still catch her." β
Robin's spell sounded, and a pair of wide, shiny wings appeared behind him.
Wings of Light.
"Robin." Kaye stopped in front of him, clutching his shoulders tightly, "It's too dangerous. We don't know who they are, how many there are, and we don't know where they went......"
She stared into Robin's eyes and muttered, "Don't let anger get carried away at any time. You have to make sure we're here to save people, not to give lives. β
Robin was slightly stunned and regained some of his senses slightly.
"I think she's right."
Calista appeared behind him, sitting in a wheelchair and looking at Robin calmly, "The vampires must have an intention to create chaos. Since they captured Rowling instead of killing her, it means that she is not in danger for the time being. β
Her gaze fell on Robin's face, frowning slightly, "Maybe there is a trap ahead of us, maybe they want to provoke us, so that I, or you, will be provoked and fall into their trap."
Or maybe it's Rowling to threaten us.
I've seen too many assassinations, and I've seen too many kidnappings.
But their goals are all divine messengers or the chosen ones. β
Yes, no one is worth as much as an oracle or the chosen one, and only they can decide the future of the kingdom.
Vampires don't take a useless person for nothing.
Like Calista said, I'm afraid it's a trap.
A long-planned plan.
If the other party knows about Rowling's relationship with him.
Then taking my sister away has become a natural threat.
"So they're still aiming for me." Robin sighed.
"But that doesn't mean she's always been in danger." He stubbornly raised his head to meet Calista's gaze, "This is my own sister, and for every second we waste here, her danger, and the danger we might face, increases. β
He looked at Calista coldly, his mind racing.
At present, the most important problem to be solved is how to chase it......
It was at this moment that out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the elven wolf on the ground flashing white.
The little thing sniffed Rowling's clothes, then ran to the windowsill and pulled the railing with its hand.
Robin walked quickly to the windowsill and held Shibin in his hands, "Elf wolves will help me find them, now ......"
His gaze was on Kaye.
"Good master."
Kaye let out a sighing smile, "But you have to stay. Master, it's too dangerous for you to go. β
"No," Robin shook his head, "I'll have Lightwings, that will make us a little faster." β
The two men looked at each other for a moment, then nodded in great understanding.
"Robin!" Calista stopped him.
Robin turned his head and looked at the other in silence.
She looked at Robin tenderly, then let out a sigh, "You can't go alone. β
Calista looked back at Anne, "Get some powerful guards to follow him." β
"Thank you." Robin smiled with satisfaction.
β¦β¦
The battle was still going on outside, and Calista couldn't guarantee that it was a trap to attack the west, and the amount of combat power that could be mobilized was actually pitiful.
In the temple, there were only less than ten Divine Wing Guards who could be deployed, and only half of them were above the physical limit.
In less than half a minute, the guards were fully armed and ready to stand in Rowling's room.
However, these forces are still uncertain whether they will be sufficient.
"So......" Robin took a deep breath and looked at them with a determined gaze, ready to give the order to go.
He won't attack if he's in danger, but there's no guarantee that they'll survive.
He felt his heart pounding.
For the first time, someone else had put their lives in his hands.
"If you encounter danger, please protect yourself first." Robin smiled, then attached a wing of light to each of them.
They stood in the room, glowing with a golden sheen, like an army of angels.
"Wait."
Just as they were about to leave, a dull voice came from the door.
A red armor appeared by the door.
Little Arce clutched her scarlet soul tightly in his hands, his head bowed.
The chest rises and falls violently.
On her face, a tear fell.
It hits the floor with a slight sound.
But.
She looked up to meet Robin's gaze.
It's like a flame burning in your eyes.
"It's all because of me."
Tears slid down her cheeks, condensed to her chin and dripped down slowly.
"If it weren't for my conceit, nothing like this would have happened......"
She said word for word, "So, I'll go too." β
"Little Arce......"
It was at this moment that Robin noticed that the pair of turquoise pupils seemed to be haloed with a golden halo.
"Okay." Robin nodded, the corners of his mouth curving.
His incantation moved.
Wings of Light grow on little Arce's back.
She is now one of them.
Their eyes are steadfast.
Death is like home.
"We! Let's go! β
With Robin's order, all of them poured out of the window with shining wings.
Like a golden angel soaring in the sky.
Like the sunshine flying downwind.
Seeing them leave, Calista's eyes turned to a sense of loneliness.
The whole room was empty.
Only her and Anne were left, and the mage named Mandy.
History is always strikingly similar.
This scene is familiar.
"If I had the same courage then...... "wouldn't you have died," she said, bowing her head and in a barely audible voice? β
Anne's brow moved slightly, and her eyes darkened.
But she was immediately calm again.
Her eyes looked at the white windowsill thoughtfully.
"Mandy, you follow him." Anne commanded, "They should need a powerful magician. β
"Okay. Mistress Anne. β
The black-robed mage named Mandy flashed and disappeared into thin air.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
If you ask, what is the fastest thing in the world?
Some may say that it is the arrow of the Weeper that cuts through the air, brings out the whirlwind, and makes a whimpering sound.
Some people may say that it is the light of the one who prays for light, which can illuminate any place in an instant.
However, in the minds of all magicians, those are not the fastest.
No way of moving, no matter how fast an object is, can't compare toβ
Teleportation magic.
Disappear from one point and appear at another.
The two can be thousands of miles apart.
And even further.
According to the principle known to the magicians, as long as the teleportation conditions are met, even if it is an infinite distance, it can be reached instantly.
Yes, condition.
There are three types of teleportation arrays:
First, one-way transmission. Composed of a single magic circle, the Might and Magic Gate will inscribe the location coordinates of the teleportation target, and if the area is not intercepted, then it will be able to teleport.
Second, two-way transmission. The two teleportation arrays can be passed to each other, requiring magic infusion and obtaining the corresponding magic key.
Yes, this is extremely strictly restricted in all kingdoms, and in order to prevent the recurrence of the tragedy of the [Pydra Portal Incident], additional magic keys will be made between each portal.
What is the key used for, it is used to match whether the information between the two teleportation arrays matches or not.
Outside of the two-way teleportation array platform, a special security checkpoint will be set up, and those who want to teleport must report to the relevant personnel, explaining their intentions, destination, and whether they are carrying prohibited items.
After passing through the check, a key is matched between the two teleportation arrays, and half of them are distributed to the passenger through the security personnel.
When the person who gets the key walks up to the teleportation array, the teleportation array will automatically teleport them to the corresponding magic array, which is the destination.
Over there, you need to go through the corresponding security check.
You'll need to use half of the keys in her hand again to match the other half from before.
In this way, potential dangers are eliminated.
Third, it is not directed transmission. The magic array has no directional location, it can only mark the distance, and after passing through the teleportation array, it is not known where it will go.
The main reason for the formation of these teleportation arrays lies in their basic principles.
The teleportation array is an extremely demanding magic array, and it has some very close relationship with the location.
Not every place can be a teleportation array.
This place must at least have a rich source of magic. Just like the formation of geography, magic will also form an inherent geographical network in the world, which is called a network of sources by people.
And some of these nodes are the intersection of magic networks, which have rich magic and the ability to open up time and space travel, so that they can be used to make magic teleportation arrays.
According to the hierarchy, the two-way teleportation array is the strongest, followed by one-way teleportation, and the weakest is non-directional.
However, the requirements for magical energy are decreasing step by step.
Conversely, their number will be inversely proportional to the rank due to different conditions.
The number of two-way teleportation arrays is the smallest, and in a country, only large cities have one or two, or even none.
This is also the reason why Robin and the others had to take the horse-drawn carriage all the way from the Frost Fortress to Haoyue City.
If it's a Saint Beta Leader, you can travel back and forth between Haoyue City through a two-way teleportation array.
Secondly, it is a one-way teleportation array.
However, in Haoyue City, whether it is a two-way teleportation array or a one-way teleportation array, it will be strictly controlled by the Magic Association and the Conquest Agency.
This time.
Vampires escape using an undirected teleportation array.
Just like Robin, they fled from the city of Xebella.
β¦β¦
The elven wolf sniffed uneasily at the ground.
Behind the temple, in a vast meadow, there was a faint trace of magic.
The black-robed mage Mandy stood at the edge of the circle, gently touching the blue light with her hand.
Then he stood up and shook his head slowly at Robin.
