Chapter 9: The Mysterious Maiden Alice

"Plop", after Kenneth smashed the remnant sword in his hand through the Shadow Wolf's hard head without mercy, the Shadow Wolf shook its body and fell to the ground, its flesh hitting the ground with a muffled sound.

Kenneth jumped off the tattered head of the Shadow Wolf and threw away the only remaining wooden sword hilt in his hand, regretting that it had been carved by Mick himself, a gift from Mick for his eleventh birthday. Kenneth scratched his head, worried about whether he would be scolded by Mick, and walked towards the four shadow wolves that Mick had successfully contained.

Kenneth had of course been distracted in the previous battle, although he was very confident in Mick, but he didn't expect Mick to contain the four giant wolves so easily, and his admiration for Mick was even deeper, and he was even more determined not to drag Mick back, and immediately rushed towards the wolves after letting out a loud roar.

The wolf eyes that looked at Kenneth were filled with deep fear, and the green magic array on his body flashed behind the impregnable earthen wall, and he actually used magic magic to "speed up" with magic, and then rushed into the depths of the forest without looking back. As the Shadow Wolf fled, Kenneth and Mick's surroundings changed, and although they were still familiar with the dwarf trees and shrubs, a lake could be seen not far away, proving that the two had indeed escaped from the Shadow Wolf's hallucinatory magic.

"Hey, hey, why did you run away, you haven't fought yet?!" When Kenneth saw that the four wolves had turned around and fled, he jumped to his feet in anger and shouted loudly, and tried to catch up with him.

"Kenny, stop chasing!" But Mick stood at the top of the earthen pillar and shouted, his body shaking, looking like he was going to fall at any moment.

"Okay, this time it's for Mick's sake, let you go." Kenneth smuttered, suddenly saw the earthen pillar under Kenny's feet and the surrounding earthen wall begin to crack and then quickly collapse, and with a hard step under his feet, a deep footprint immediately appeared, and his body quickly ran towards the direction where Mick fell, and he almost caught it in his arms, and asked nervously and loudly, "Mick, Mick, what's wrong with you?!" ”

Mick's lips were slightly pale at this time, but his consciousness was still quite clear, and he saw that he was actually being held in Kenneth's arms in the posture of a princess, and his face was blood-red to break free from his arms, his body swayed, and he held his forehead and said, "I'm not, it's okay!" It's just that I've used more than twenty magic spells in a row, and my mental power seems to be a little overdrawn......"

Four earthen wall spells in a row, five or six earthen wall enhancements, and more than ten small fireballs, and sometimes even used both hands to cast spells, plus the proficiency of casting magic was insufficient, so even Mick, who had the spiritual power comparable to that of a fourth-order magician, couldn't hold on, but in order not to distract Kenneth, he kept gritting his teeth and insisting, and when he saw that the crisis was resolved, his spirit suddenly relaxed, and the fatigue that immediately surged over Mick instantly crushed Mick, and even the earth pillar under his feet could not be maintained. However, due to the blessing of disguise, the use of this high-intensity spiritual power also invisibly tempered Mick's spirit, causing his spiritual power to gradually advance to the strength of a fifth-order magician.

Kenneth was relieved when he heard this, and held Mick, who had already begun to drift under his feet, and reproached: "Don't be reckless, if you can't hold on, just call me no?" ”

Mick already had two Kenneth figures in his eyes at this time, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "I, I can't trouble you, I said that I would stand by your side and face the difficulties with you." ”

Kenneth laughed and said, "So you have to trust me a little more!" Really, you see you've made yourself like this, how are we going to chase Joe? ”

Mick put one hand on Kenneth's shoulder, but after listening to his words, he was silent for a long time, and then a worried expression appeared between his eyebrows: "Kenny, since we followed Joe here and met the Shadow Wolf, will Joe ......?"

Mick couldn't bear to say the next words, but Kenneth naturally understood what Mick meant, and gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, you have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death!" At least I have to give Uncle John an explanation, I can't just go back empty-handed. ”

Mick nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to the lake and have a look, maybe Joe will be there." ”

"Okay," Kenneth said, taking Mick's hand over his shoulder, letting him put his arm around his neck, "let's go, we must bring Joe back!" ”

Mick leaned on Kenneth's shoulder, and silently prayed in his heart that Joe was safe.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

After walking for ten minutes, the two finally came to the lakeside, which turned out to be just a small lake with lush water and grass on the lakeside, exuding a faint fragrance, and the reflection of the four holy stars on the calm lake surface shining beautifully.

It's just that at this time, the lakeside that should be beautiful and peaceful has a slightly stronger smell of blood, and I saw the corpses of more than ten shadow wolves lying on the lakeside, and in front of the corpse of the shadow wolf was a beautiful woman holding an ice blue staff, and behind her, there was a child who had fainted in fright, it was Joe who Kenneth and Mick were looking for.

Kenneth took Mick to approach the woman, and when she got closer, it turned out that she was still a young girl, although the lower half of her face was covered by a veil and could not be seen really, but just the slightly green appearance of the upper half of her face was enough to envy all beings, her blue hair like a waterfall hung down to her waist, and a white robe was draped under a water-blue veil, which set off her more and more graceful figure, and her temperament was noble and indifferent, but it was strange that people could feel her gentleness, and a pair of dark green eyes added a touch of mystery to her. All in all, at first glance, the two of them invariably thought that she must be the eldest lady of a noble family.

At this time, the girl's green eyes fell lightly on Kenneth, and for some reason her eyebrows frowned slightly, but then she unfolded, and as soon as her right hand was released, the staff in her hand disappeared immediately, and a girl's voice sounded like a spring: "Who are you?" Why enter the Kormit Forest at night? ”

Kenneth and Mick had never seen such a beautiful girl, not even the tavernkeeper's little Mary could compare to the beauty of the girl in front of him, Kenneth panicked all of a sudden, did not know how to salute, and stammered and did not know what to say.

Mick glanced at Kenneth helplessly, and he had forgotten all the aristocratic etiquette he had taught him before, so Mick stepped forward, took off his hat and performed a standard gentleman's salute, and then generously introduced himself and Kenneth and said, "Hello, my name is Mick Silver, and this is my companion, and my name is Kenneth Lancelot." We're here to recover that mischievous kid behind you. Did you save him? ”

The girl looked at Mick's blue eyes as clear as the lake, and saw that there was no flaw in his words, so she nodded and said, "I'm just doing it by the way." Since you're here to find him, take him out of here, it's very dangerous. ”

"So, what about you?" Kenneth finally found the words and asked, as if worried about the girl's safety.

The girl's indifferent green eyes fell on Kenneth's face, and she said flatly, "I still have something to do here." ”

Although Kenneth is careless, he is not stupid after all, since the girl in front of him can destroy more than ten ghost wolves alone, of course he is not an ordinary person, where can he worry?

So Kenneth walked up behind the girl and picked up Joe, who was pale and unconscious, and was about to return to camp with Mick, but turned around and asked, "What's your name?" ”

A hint of surprise flashed in the girl's eyes, and after thinking about it, she said softly, "Alice." ”

Kenneth was also a little happy for some reason, and pretended to be quite polite and bent down, "Miss Alice, I hope we can see each other again." With that, he and Mick re-entered the forest without looking back, and returned to the camp the same way they came.

Mick looked at Kenneth, who was flushed, and sneered, "Kenny, don't you like little Mary?" ”

Kenneth was slightly embarrassed and said to Mick seriously: "Mick, I have always only treated little Mary as a sister, but this time, I think I am really in love. ”

Mick couldn't help but laugh when he heard Kenneth's words, which he repeated at least ten times, "Boom, Kenny, it's hilarious that you say you're in love without even knowing someone's full name!" ”

Kenneth didn't expect this section when he was shy just now, so he hurriedly said: "Mick, I didn't pay attention to the Dao, forget it, why didn't you tell me if you noticed?!" ”

Mick continued to laugh and said, "It's not that I'm in love with someone else, why should I ask?" Also, What the hell is 'Miss Alice'? Haha, I'm laughing to death......"

Kenneth blushed and said, "This、Doesn't this mean that you think she's the eldest lady at first glance?" Also, did you tell me that it would be more polite to add a title to someone's name?! ”

"Haha, Kenny, I swear you must have impressed Miss Alice, haha......"

"Mick, if you dare to laugh again, I'll beat you!" But Kenneth said angrily.

"Okay, I won't laugh anymore." Mick grimaced, but quickly burst out laughing, "'Miss Alice', poof, haha...... No, it's funny......"

With the sound of the two frolicking, the two gradually left the small lake, and the calm lake was left with only the girl named Alice and the wolf corpse on the ground.

The faint smell of blood made the girl's eyebrows furrow, her hand raised, a ring on the middle finger of her right hand flashed, and a staff with an ice blue body and a gorgeously cut sapphire appeared in the girl's hand again, and a water-blue magic array appeared in the center of the sapphire, and a large number of blue light points gathered over, turning into ice and snow through the magic array and brushing the wolf corpse on the ground, and the wolf corpse immediately formed into ice cubes, covering up the pungent smell of blood.

The third-order water-based magic, "Ice and Snow", causes the subject to freeze and take water magic damage at all times.

After doing all this, Alice's face became a little better.

Suddenly, a blue ring on the middle finger of Alice's left hand that was quite similar to Kenneth's dragon ring, only of a different color, flashed, and another blue-haired girl appeared beside her, exuding a fresh mint scent, looking around, but her voice had a maturity that was quite inconsistent with her appearance: "Alice, this is the small lake of Cormit?" ”

Alice was still indifferent and nodded, "Yes." ”

"Obtaining the Heart of Kormit will be of great benefit to me and your growth, so please do the following." The girl with blue hair who should have hung down but floated in the air like her body said with a smile.

"Okay." Alice's expression didn't change in any way.

After waiting for a while, when the four holy stars happened to occupy the four directions of south, east, west, and northwest in the sky, the lake suddenly surged, and a giant toad eight meters high jumped out of the lake, and this is the true identity of the creature named "Kormit", hence the name of the Kormit Forest.

And it was clearly the target of the young girl, whose full name was Alice Tapu.

Thousands of kilometers away in the imperial capital, the king's office was still brightly lit, but the visit of an uninvited guest, dressed in a pitch-black robe, with gray hair, and a brilliant diamond on the hexagram of the six-pointed star on the coat of arms on his chest, was the chief magician of the empire, the president of the six-pointed star council, Omishamson Abner.

And the red-haired young man sitting in front of him is the current king of the Xio Empire - Rhaega Xio.

"Your Majesty, the magic reaction from the northwest of the empire four years ago has been locked within the scope of Luther Province, and the kind of magic reaction that exceeds the sixth-order level is no other possible than the giant dragon." Omistan said with a respectful expression.

A chill flashed on the red-haired man's handsome face, and he shook the goblet containing red wine in his hand and said lightly, "Then you should know what to do, right?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Omistansen replied respectfully again.
