Chapter 970: The Fourth Party

Although Sivi didn't say it explicitly, when talking to Horna, he also told the other party that he was currently restricted by some kind of restriction and couldn't take care of the soul hunter himself.

Although Horna said that it was a pity to lack the help of Sivi, she still understood it - anyway, in her opinion, Sivi was full of secrets, even if she jumped out tomorrow and said that the soul equipment was made by him, Horna would probably not be surprised, after all, it was this product that spread the soul device in the first place.

However, Sivi did not tell the other party all about his current situation.

The first time he fought the soul hunter on the magic ship, Sivi found that he was not as limited as he seemed.

It was noted in the mission rules that Sivi could not fight the Soul Hunter, but when he was on the magic ship, Sivi personally blocked the breath of the white corpse dragon without being judged by the system to violate the rules.

Although the system did not tell the reason, after a little consideration, Sivi thought that it was likely because the system judged that the few hits on the magic ship to resist the breath of the corpse dragon were 'self-defense'.

Except for some pure cheating, the tasks issued by the system are generally expected to be completed by Xiwei, and if this mission even 'self-defense' will lead to the failure of the task due to violations, I'm afraid that Xiwei will directly give up this task.

Then Xiwei was warned by the system when he resisted the breath of the corpse dragon and wanted to fight back, which undoubtedly proved this: self-defense is okay, but active attack is not.

In this way, the space that can actually be operated is much larger.

For example, when the soul envoys fight in the future, Xiwei can completely play soy sauce on the side, once the opponent wants to put a move with a relatively large enveloping range, he will move to the attack range, and then use his personal safety as a reason for self-defense to block the opponent and create a chance for the members on his side.

"Even if you can't tell if this resonance is a soul hunter. But at least you can know if it's the castle lord with the soul device, right? ”

Xiwei raised his eyebrows and asked strangely, "If it's not the city lord, then isn't the Eight Achievements a soul hunter?" ”

"It's not a soul hunter," Horna shook her head, and there was a puzzled look on her face, "But when the city lord was attacked yesterday, he didn't feel the resonance of the soul device with the enemy......"

What Horna meant by that. It's likely that the Soul Hunter has some way of blocking out the Soul Resonance, so the probability that the Resonance just sensed is an enemy is not high.

"Is there a fourth force besides you......" Xiwei rubbed his forehead, looking a little headache: "Spare me, I originally planned to solve everything here in three days, and go back to continue to prepare for the exam for my lovely students." ”

If Sophia had been here, she would have scoffed at Sivi's words.

It's a pity that Horna doesn't know what Sylvy is like, and she stupidly thinks that Sylvy is really a good teacher who does her best......

――Dividing Line――

"The resonance stopped...... However, the holder of the soul device should not be far from here. Jon played with his hatchet, poking the turban on his head with his index finger from time to time, using the power of the Pupil of the Future to observe the future in a few seconds to prevent the enemy from sneaking up.

"I think you'd better stop doing this soon......" Raven looked at Jon's increasingly bad face. He sighed a little helplessly: "That thing doesn't match your soul wavelength, it's already amazing that you can use it, the ability to activate it without interruption like this will only overdraw your spirit, and if you really fight for a while, you will fall into a disadvantage." ”

In fact, Raven also has the ability to glimpse the future, but unfortunately, after returning from the Age of Mythology to the modern era, her power may have been disturbed by the turbulence of time and space, and she has not been able to recover until now.

“…… See. ”

Jon stopped what he was doing. With a tired expression, he let out a long sigh: "He's coming." ”

As soon as the words fell, a figure appeared in the window.

It's almost the same instant. Raven had already drawn her soul longbow, and the arrow she had taken out of nowhere was aimed at the comer.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous~"

The man who came was a man with naturally curly black hair and a somewhat lazy look in his eyes, and at this time he raised his hands in a gesture of surrender. But there was no tension on his face.

He was dressed in a commoner-style cloth common in the Eastern Plains, and he carried a single-edged sword behind his back, and the blade reflected a silver glittering light, which was not ordinary at first glance.

And Jon and the others immediately understood that the longsword was undoubtedly a soul tool.

"Can't we just lay down our arms and have a good talk? You also know very well what happens when the soul apparatus turns the blade against each other. ”

"Who are you?" Although the other side does not seem to be hostile. But Raven didn't let her guard down.

"So, if I can, I'd like to have a good talk with you at the tea table, instead of being treated as a prisoner like now," the other party looked a little helpless at Laven's lack of progress: "If you can't get your attitude right......"

Before he finished his words, Lawen and his party were like being crushed to the ground by an invisible hand, and their strength was so great that the three of them didn't even have the ability to resist.

However, a moment before being overwhelmed, Raven still released the 'divine bow. The Bird of Paradise is blessed with an arrow that has the ability to hit absolutely.

Unfortunately, this was obviously of no use to the prepared man, who just reached out and flicked the lightning-fast arrow aside—although his hand was cut out because of this, he still neutralized Raven's arrow without using the soul device.

"That's why it's the most annoying thing to fight and kill......" He looked at the three people who were crushed to the ground by the invisible force, stretched out his scratched right hand, and held the long sword behind his back: "Sword Soul Liberation. Hundred Grass Sword"

The long sword groaned softly, and the original simple and atmospheric appearance became a toy made of countless blades of grass, the blades were unevenly woven, the sword blade seemed to be just a piece of bamboo, and the hilt of the sword was as curved and ugly as a branch that was broken off casually.

But it was such a long sword, but it faintly glowed with green light, and with the flickering of the light, the wound on the man's hand disappeared in a few breaths.

Is this a deterrent?

Raven struggled to hold her head high, watching the other party's actions, and muttered to herself in her heart.

In addition, the feeling of being pressed to the ground by an invisible force is also a bit strange......

"It's useless to resist," a new voice sounded at the window, "You'd better be quiet." ”

Raven noticed another man behind the natural curly man, but the new one looked much younger, and even if he called him 'teenager', he didn't feel out of place.

More striking than his appearance, the new boy is his eyes.

His right eye was just the same as an ordinary person's, just an ordinary almond color, but his left eye shimmered with a golden light, as if there was an electric light dancing in it.

"Yo, it's a little late...... I've been talking to these guys for so long before you show up. The man let go of the hilt of his sword and said hello to the other party.

"There are a lot of knights on duty outside the mansion, and it took me a lot of time to get them to sleep." The young man bowed slightly, and explained casually.

"It turns out that there are two of you, and after the guy in front of you shows up and draws all our attention to his soul device, you will secretly do it...... Is that eye also a soul tool? Raven said with difficulty.

"Keen observation, if you can find it earlier, maybe there will be a turnaround, but unfortunately it doesn't mean anything now."

The expression on the face of the new teenager did not fluctuate much...... For his age, it is quite rare to be so calm and old.

"What is the power of that eye...... I always had a feeling I couldn't put it into words. ”

Raven continued.

"I didn't need to tell you. In fact, if it weren't for the nice magic items you have on you to help neutralize my power, you'd probably be in danger of dying right now. ”

The boy didn't intend to answer her question, but said casually - but even with the magic items that Sivi had rationed before leaving, Raven was still the only one who could stay awake, and Jon and Naia had already fainted - and after glancing at the girl who had fallen to the ground, the boy continued to say coldly, "Now hand over your soul equipment...... I'm not interested in them, but it's better than falling into the hands of that bastard. ”

"The joke isn't funny...... Or do you think we're going to give you all our soul tools so lightly? ”

Laven's forehead was covered with sweat, and she didn't know if it was a cold sweat or a product of nervousness.

"If we don't pay it, it's a big deal, we can just pick it up ourselves." But the boy didn't hesitate at all.

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed......"

But Raven showed a smile, which surprised the boy: "To be honest, I can't even make a sound now, and your strength is indeed terrifying, as if you want to squeeze all the air out of my lungs...... So, why do you think I'm going so desperate to talk to you? ”

"Could it be ......," the young man finally showed a slightly surprised expression on his face.

"That's right, it's just to stall for time," Raven's smile became even brighter, "including now!" Because ......"

The door of the room was shattered by the majestic magic, turning into fine pieces of wood falling in mid-air, and a figure in a black robe slowly walked in from outside the door.

Because our heroes have come.

The girl silently finished this sentence in her heart. (To be continued......)
