Hotel room.

Lawson walked briskly to the window, reached out and pulled the curtain open a small slit, and peeked out into the street.

On the opposite side of the street was a carriage with the flag of the Academy, and a group of heavily armed knights numbering about 30 people in front of each carriage. On the side of the carriage, Rosen saw the four Academy magicians.

Of the four magicians, three were very young, the oldest one looked to be twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and the youngest female magician was in her early 20s. There is also a slightly older grade, a 40-year-old middle-aged man.

The four were also surrounded by a group of shield-wielding warriors, the youngest sorceress staying at the side of the carriage, while the other three, escorted by the shield-wielding warriors, walked all the way to the gate of the Flower Hotel.

After glancing at it, Lawson immediately retracted his body, and as soon as his mind moved, he activated the alchemy magic, and the rune compass that was placed on the table next to him immediately floated towards his hand.

Rosen glanced at Anne and said in a low voice, "Nine times out of ten, this rune compass is to blame." ”

On the runes in the outermost circle of the rune compass, the three runes that guided the direction of the monster have always maintained their brightness, but Lawson clearly remembers that when this thing was first taken out of the iron box in the secret room, the runes were dim, and after appearing in the air, it took about two or three seconds for the runes on the compass to be activated, showing bright light.

Why did Dallas deliberately put the compass in the box?

Why do runes go out?

Why is Dallas so calm?

During this time, because he had been busy, Rosen simply took the rune compass with him and did not study it carefully, but now, the inexplicable actions of the academy magician have strung together all kinds of inconspicuous clues he had discovered before.

"The rune compass must have triggered some kind of signal, one that could be detected by the Academy."

"Rosen, they're already in the lobby of the inn. What are we going to do with this thing now? Anne's tone was anxious.

Rosen's thoughts raced, and after a moment, he said, "Annie, you and Veronica go and control Dallas!" ”

"What about you?"

"I'm going to get the attention of these magicians. You keep an eye on the right direction, and as soon as the magicians are far away from the inn, you quietly bring Dallas to the ...... Inside Count Derrick's Blue Moon Mansion. ”

The Blue Moon Mansion has been sealed and empty, so bring Dallas in to get him in and deal with him properly.

Anne said urgently: "How do you attract .......?"

Before she finished her words, she saw Lawson quickly stuff the rune compass into the package, and then tied the package on his back, and then, he slammed open the curtains, pushed open the window, and the whole person climbed up, jumped up, and jumped out of the window on the second floor of the hotel.

There was a commotion outside the hotel.

"Ah~ Someone jumped off the building!" It's the screams of ordinary people.

"Stop! Stop. The voice was very rough, and when I heard it, it was made by a powerful and stout warrior.

"Catch him! Don't let him run! "The voice is a male voice, but it doesn't have a lot of energy, it should be a magician.

Anne's heart tightened, and she quickly rushed to the window to glance out, and she saw that Lawson was running wildly down the street, followed by a group of heavily armed warriors, and then behind him, the three magicians who had been about to enter the inn also turned in the same direction and followed Lawson.

There were a lot of people on the street, and the magicians, perhaps fearing that they would accidentally injure the innocent, only ran after Lawson and did not cast a spell to attack.

Anne found that Rosen was quite fast, faster than the fastest fighters behind him, and very nimble, like a swimming fish in the crowd, and at his current speed, it was not difficult to get rid of the pursuers behind him.

Reassured, she shrank back and walked towards the wooden door, where she saw Veronica hurrying towards her.

When Veronica saw Anne, she looked into the room, but when she didn't see Rosen, she asked, "I just saw Rosen on the street?" What's the situation? ”

"It's Lawson down the street. He said he lured the magician away, and let us take Davos quietly. Afterwards we meet at the Blue Moon Mansion. ”

"Oh~ He's okay alone, right? There are 4 magicians down there, and I don't think they're good at it. Veronica's face was suspicious.

Anne's heart was shocked, her heart lifted up at once, and she groaned, and she immediately said: "I can take Davos alone." Why don't you go and help? ”

"Good!" Veronica nodded dryly.

On this side, the two women quickly reached a consensus, and on the other side, Lawson ran wildly on the street desperately.

Thanks to the undead physique, it is basically impossible for those warriors behind him to catch up with him. Not to mention the physically weak magicians. The only thing he had to worry about was the patrolling guards on the streets.

If a guard suddenly appeared out of nowhere and gave him a shady blow, he would capsize in the gutter.

Inevitably, Rosen mentioned his spirit of twelve, drilled into crowded places, kept changing the direction of progress, kept running onto new streets, and at the same time used various obstacles on the side of the road to obstruct the sight of the pursuers.

As he ran, he was thinking about what to do next.

"These magicians should have been caught in my attention, Anne and Veronica must have found an opportunity to slip away. Now the most important thing is how I can escape the tracking. ”

Originally, it was not difficult to escape purely, but the problem was that he still had a rune compass.

This thing can show the right person the way.

The best thing to do was to throw it away, but Lawson couldn't bear it. He subconsciously felt that this thing was made by Bishop Amran, who had been pursuing the mysteries of the Great Magician, and perhaps this rune compass contained the important results of his research on monsters.

Now, this rune compass could still attract the attention of the academy, and he was even more curious about this thing in his heart.

"I got the compass yesterday and haven't blocked it since, but the other party only came to me today. When Dallas used the disc, the compass was also exposed, but the Academy mage did not find him. This all shows that the academy does not monitor the movement of the rune compass all the time, or that although the academy magician can sense the compass, it is extremely difficult to locate it. However, this was the previous situation, and now that I have been exposed, I must have been targeted to death by the other party, and carrying this thing with it is like carrying a time bomb. ”

"What should I do?"

Lawson reached out and took out the disc from the package, looking at it as he ran, and suddenly, his eyes lit up: "Nine times out of ten, what attracts the mages of the academy is related to the light emitted by the compass." If I break this compass, won't the other party be able to track it? ”

Thinking like this, he immediately pulled out the dagger from the strap on the side of his leg, and slashed a few times on the rune surface of the rune compass, marking several large metal marks, and several runes were even split in half by the dagger.

As soon as he did this, the bright light on the outermost rune flashed a few times, and then went out.

"It should be fine now. The compass is full of traumatic injuries, and I'll find a way to recover when I'm free. Rosen put away the compass and continued to run.

Just ran all the way, all the way, about ten minutes, and Lawson suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"How? I've been running for so long, how come I'm still near the dock? ”

He remembered very well that he had passed this street for the second time, but although he kept changing directions, he had a spectrum in his heart, and on the whole, he was still moving in a general direction away from the docklands, how could he go back around?

"Am I lost?"

"No, never. Nilogaard City is only a little bigger, and it is not an order of magnitude worse than the megacities on Earth. I'm not going to get lost on Earth, I'm going to get lost in this big fart place? ”

He has a very good sense of direction since he was a child, and he is completely insulated from the word road idiot. For example, now, although it was an emergency run, he can still clearly recall the route he ran before.

Since you are sure that you will not get lost, there is only one reasonable explanation.

That is, he fell for the magic of a certain magician, or to be exact, it should be an illusion.

Illusion can't directly hurt people, but it's the most troublesome magic in this world, once trapped by illusion, no matter how strong the power is, you can only crack the illusion with ingenuity.
