Chapter 61: Strange Scholar
"Stop!" Eric shouted, his right hand touching the hilt of the sword at his waist.
Kevin paused, turned around, and faced Eric.
Eric unleashed the shimmering spell and saw the man opposite. The man looked to be in his twenties, but he had half a head of gray hair, and he looked very strange. His face was even more pale as paper, he couldn't see any look, his body was not strong, only his clothes were clean, but he looked like a down-and-out scholar.
"Who are you and why are you here?"
Eric tried to keep his tone as low as he could, and the man across from him looked a little weak. Years of working as a security guard had allowed him to see all sorts of things, and Kevin gave him the impression that he was not a threat. This in itself is a strange thing, at such a close distance, in the face of a stranger, it is inevitable that there will be some psychological defense, and then react to the body. This has nothing to do with strength, it is a reflex that everyone will have. But the man on the other side just stood, the middle door wide open, and he was completely defenseless in the face of him, a stranger. His life seemed to be within reach, and if Eric wanted to, he could kill the scholar on the other side without blinking an eye. It is precisely because of this that Eric did not take him directly, but chose to question.
"I'm Kevin, passing by here, I saw an old man, he is my old servant."
Eric nodded, and the other party's extremely natural demeanor and smooth answer could tell if he was lying. Is there a new old man on the farm, or is the eldest lady personally ordered. He also took a look at it in the guards yesterday, and it was an old man who was wandering, not to mention that he had no magic power, but his physical strength was very limited, so he didn't refute the eldest lady's interest and left the person behind. He has a special status, he is the leader of the personal guard assigned by the master to protect the mother and daughter, and it is different from the farm guard, he said that he can stay, the old man must be on the farm at this time, but there will be someone watching him in secret.
"Old Carter?"
Eric remembered the old man's name. Kevin just nodded.
"Such a coincidence? Old Carter was here yesterday, and you're here today? ”
"Hmm."
Eric was stunned, the person opposite him was like a wooden nerd, asking what to answer, did he think he was really asking "such a coincidence"? He and the old man passed by the farm one day after another, and they were all coincidental and old acquaintances, so this man appeared here in the middle of the night to look for the old servant. Although the guards here are not strict, it will not be so easy to walk here quietly. It's like a story full of loopholes, the logic doesn't make sense at all, but this person is still very calm. Although he didn't feel threatened, he decided to detain this person first, and if it turned out to be as he said it was, it would be just to pay some silver taels to the scholar or make a living for him.
But just as Eric was about to make a move, he felt someone approaching behind him. Without looking back, he could tell from his footsteps that it was an abrasive eldest lady. It's a little troublesome now, and if you want to be met by that nosy little girl, you have to ask one, two, three, he doesn't have that idle time. He dodged in front of the eldest lady, blocking her view, but most of his body was facing Kevin.
"Uncle Eric, why are you here, hmm, who is this, why haven't I seen it?"
Eric let his guard down slightly, as the eldest lady's personal guard was hidden around her, and he sensed the breath that had just leaked out.
"Miss, this is my friend, I promised to take him to drink, isn't this just the plan to go."
Wendy blinked, looking back and forth.
"Uncle Eric, why are you lying to me, Wendy heard it, he came to find the old man from yesterday."
"Poof......
A chuckle came, and I knew it was a woman, but it was definitely not Wendy in front of me.
Eric's sideburns were bruised, he knew it was Blair hidden in the dark, Miss's personal bodyguard, he was nakedly ridiculed.
He tried to squeeze out a smile, and was about to explain, when something happened suddenly!
Obscure magic suddenly appeared around them, and circles of black flames visible to the naked eye suddenly appeared at their feet.
Dark Imprisonment!
"Be careful."
Eric drew his sword in an instant, clenched his hands and plunged into the ground. The ground trembled, turned into pieces, and went in all directions. And a tall woman suddenly appeared beside him, picked up Wendy, instantly retreated more than ten steps, and leaned towards the small building behind him, it was Blair. An arrow flew out of her hand into the sky, bursting in an instant. The whole farm seemed to come alive at this moment, and several previously hidden points of light were rapidly approaching.
Eric on the other side was by no means easy, although his earth wave was launched quickly, but it was not powerful enough, and now it collided directly with the dark confinement released by the other party, and it did not break the magic, but his own magic power was quickly eliminated. He could feel the magic transmitted through magic, like waves of the ocean, round after round, very majestic, and the method of using magic was very mature, and he was a fierce opponent. He couldn't help but glance at Kevin, who was in danger, and the other party was still standing in place like that, not reacting much to everything that was happening around him, as if he didn't know that he had just walked between life and death. He secretly scolded "nerd", but he also had to watch out for this person. Although it seems harmless, the timing of his appearance is too strange to rule out the possibility of having something to do with it. Under the enemy's surprise attack, he has lost the lead, and he has to be distracted, and his magic power is even more stretched.
Suddenly, his magic vibrated and the ever-present resistance vanished without a trace, like the ebb tide of the sea. His magic power poured outward in an instant, and the earth-moving waves finally unleashed their due power, and the stones shot out in all directions. But Eric's face changed greatly, and he exclaimed "not good", instantly pulled out his long sword, and slashed with all his might.
"Boom!"
Eric flew out with his sword and slammed into the ground.
The unobstructed mana at that moment was deliberately created by the enemy, and after his magic was accustomed to waves of resistance, the enemy took the initiative to withdraw his magic, and his magic power launched a killing move at the moment when he habitually launched outward. Eric was quick to react when he realized something was wrong, and reflexively chose the Round Dance Slash when he couldn't figure out where the enemy was. But the other party's deliberate killing move was so powerful that he only felt as if he had collided with an ancient beast, and his whole body fell apart. At this time, he was slapped on the ground and couldn't even stand up. He wanted to look up and warn Blair to take Wendy away, the enemy's strength was not something they could match, but he couldn't even do such a simple thing. His body struggled a little, but he still couldn't regain control of his body, and his consciousness had begun to blur, as if he was about to fall into an endless abyss.
