The tunnel is dim, Layla can only use the "Firefly Spell" to attract a small ball of light to light the way for her, at first you can still see the bloodstains left by Zhou Lie, but later the bloodstains gradually become loose, but this dark passage has no forks, so the bloodstains are not important for Layla to track the other party's traces.

Thinking that her master was seriously injured, and that the master had told her what the crazy magician had done before bringing her here, and what Zhou Lie had said to him that day, Layla finally made up her mind and decided not to fight the other party with the idea of making the other party lose their combat power.

She's going to crush the other side.

There are many factors that can make people grow, and anger is one of them, at least for now, Layla is ready to take that step because of anger, and it is precisely because of anger that she can move forward without fear and hesitation in this dark dark passage, completely forgetting that she is actually afraid of the dark.

Finally, she saw a bright light ahead, it seemed to be an exit, Layla walked forward quickly, and found that a square exit had been opened in the wall on one side, leaving traces of magic and blood on the ground, this was the secret door where Zhou Lie left, Layla rushed out of the exit and found herself in a courtyard, a petite woman was covered in tatters, with burn marks everywhere, and was dying in the corner.

"How are you?" said Layla, running over with a worried face.

"I can't die yet. Lian said with difficulty, "That man climbed over the wall and left, go and stop him." ”

Layla couldn't bear to let the seriously injured person stay where she was, but under Lian's repeated urging, Layla still followed the blood stains on the wall.

Layla left the yard, and passers-by saw a young girl coming out of the backyard of the family, and they all looked at Layla curiously, and after realizing that the other party might be a magician, they withdrew their gaze.

This is a place in the old street, a completely unfamiliar place for Layla, who has just arrived in the city, and there are no traces left by the other party when they fled on the street, and no passers-by have witnessed a red-haired man covered in scars and a mask, as if the other party had completely evaporated from this world.

Unbeknownst to Layla, the person she was tracking down was hiding in the courtyard she had left.

Zhou Lie hid in the room, waited until Layla left, changed her clothes, and Lian Ye, who was outside, also entered the house to scrub the disguise on her face.

Because the body is full of small wounds, after such a long time, the clothes and the body are adhered together because of the blood, and now taking off the clothes is like peeling off a layer of Zhou Lie's skin, and the wound that had stopped bleeding has cracked again.

"Do you know any healing techniques or something?" Zhou Lie looked at the wounds on his body in the mirror and asked Xiang Lian.

"Healing is only used by priests in the church, magicians don't use this kind of magic, and it is already a miracle to be able to heal wounds instantly. Lian replied.

Zhou Lie could only reluctantly clean his wounds, wrap himself in bandages, and leave this secret room after resting for a while.

Although it is a little different from what was expected, in terms of results, it should have the same effect.

"Tsk, thanks to this wound, you can hold on. Lian looked at Zhou Lie's body and shook her head.

"It's just a minor injury that isn't fatal, but it's really scary to look at. Zhou Lie looked at the wound with an expressionless face, and then wrapped it in bandages, these small wounds were all over his body, and he thought that he would leave a little scar on his body more or less in the future.

"As an Oriental, you don't have to do that. ”

"Just to prevent you from telling me, I was masked that day, but my hair and eyes were still seen by your people. ”

"Just for this?"

"Yes. ”

"Hehe, you're so funny. Lian propped her head and watched Zhou Lie wrap herself in bandages, she could hardly imagine that this pale body, as if a young man who had been sick for a long time, had escaped from a mage and his apprentice not long ago.

"I've always felt that there must be a ghost behind the help that doesn't pay for it. ”

"Isn't it a reward for you to help me hide my identity?"

Lian shook her head, "It's too slight, it's not as good as the injuries on your body now, and our leader didn't intend to tell you about it in the first place." ”

"But among you insiders, there are always people who think differently, and the couple I met at that time also have the possibility of saying it. Zhou Lie said, "But with trading constraints like this, I can ensure my safety, and this little injury is worth it in my opinion." ”

"What a weirdo. ”

"Each other, each other. ”

In another secret passage, Fawkes and Augustus, escorted by Aiden, came to another secret room, and everyone fled into the room panting, closed the secret door, and after confirming safety, they were ready to continue the next negotiations.

Fox told Augustus about the process of getting the broken box, and of course, he hid the box sent by a black-haired and black-eyed Oriental according to Zhou Lie's request.

"I already know pretty much what the situation is. Augustus frowned, full of thoughts, according to Fawkes, they were seriously injured and entrusted the box to a passer-by, who did not know what had happened, the box was split, and the flame star carving inside should have been possessed by this person, and the other party also handed over the two broken boxes to the rebels.

However, there are Master Wilson and that Layla, and the other party is just a layman who has been in contact with Xingke for less than a month, so I guess he has been subdued now.

Augustus nodded, his expression relaxed, and said, "That man should have been defeated by Master Wilson by now, and then we will naturally have a way to get what we need, so, well, let's move on to the next negotiations." ”

Fawkes looked at Aiden and Alex beside him, and the two nodded in respect of his thoughts.

"We're going to get out of here, out of the city. Fox said.

。。。。

After ending the negotiation with Fox and returning to the Consulate, Augustus heard the report of his subordinates, and hurried to visit Wilson, and when he saw Wilson dying in the hospital bed, and Layla who was blowing his head in frustration on the side, Augustus's face was ugly like eating a fly, and he thought that he could recover the flames by relying on this foreign helper, but he didn't expect both of them to miss.

What about a piece of cake? Didn't you bring water, why could you still be seriously injured by the other party when it was obviously a mutual restraint attribute?

Augustus couldn't say these words, but after a while, he left the place.

Augustus didn't know how the other party knew where he was negotiating, but judging from the fact that the other party appeared and attacked Fox first, he was going towards the other party, and if Wilson hadn't reacted quickly, His Royal Highness the former prince would have been a cloud of ashes at the moment.

But no matter what, I'm going to write a report that the prime minister doesn't want to see.

Layla looked at Wilson who was asleep in bed with a worried face, and her heart was full of self-blame, Layla felt that she had given her all at the beginning, instead of leaving her hands to think about subduing the other party, and her master would not be hurt in this way.

I think it was the attack from that strange steel pipe that caused the teacher to suffer this kind of serious injury, according to the doctor. An iron pill was embedded in the old magister's body, although it did not penetrate the body, but it broke a rib and hit the internal organs at the same time, although the current life is fine, but it needs to be recuperated.

"Lord Archon, I wonder if there's anything I can help with?" asked Layla as he was about to leave.

Augustus looked at the girl in front of him, originally he wanted to refuse the other party's request, but when he saw the other party's suggestion, the words became "You can follow my patrol to search, as long as you can keep up, you can't let the other party go this time." ”

"Hmm. ”

Although the search continued, Augustus didn't think that the other party would give him a chance to catch him, and within half a day after the incident, all the red-haired people in the city, regardless of the nobles and commoners, were arrested and sent to Layla for identification one by one, and in the end, naturally nothing.

In the whole city, only Old Street and Santa Fes College were not affected by this strict search, the tension in the city lasted for a long time, during this time, Zhou Lie also took classes in the academy abnormally seriously, which made Stella a a little surprised, and because the four of them were about to graduate, they also began to select candidates for the next student union, which was busy in another sense.

According to the terms of negotiation between Augustus and Fawkes, Fawkes began to assist Augustus in implementing the Equality Act, and began to gradually dispel the doubts of the Portians, while Fawkes began to promote equal treatment between Portians and Marstons, but this was obviously a very troublesome job, and Zhou Lie always received information about this during the days when he was recuperating from his injuries in the dormitory.

And in the meantime, Zhou Lie has never seen Layla, and when he thinks of Layla, he also thinks of the old demon who was beaten by himself with an iron pill, hoping that the other party will not die.

Of course, there was also a very pleasant surprise for Zhou Lie, who thought it would take a long time to recover, but after Zhou Lie removed the bandage the next day, he found that the wounds had healed, and a small scab had naturally fallen off, revealing the new skin and flesh inside.

Then unconsciously, after two months, the scorching heat ended, and this port city located in the extreme south of the mainland also ushered in a cool autumn, and the patrols in the city were not as nervous as they were two months ago, although the implementation of the equality law was still so difficult, but most of the Portians and Marstians were able to start living in harmony, and even the unspoken rule that only the nobles and Marstonians were accepted by default St. Fes College began to admit Portia students.

And at this time, Auslin ushered in an important festival of the year after the New Year.

Frost Festival.
