Chapter 7: The Night of Killing
The moon is dark and the wind is high, which is the legendary killing night. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Alice came from the opposite door in the evening with a pillow and said that she was a little scared to stay with Anne.
Piger was already familiar with such a situation. Although this fat girl has a house of her own, she has to run to Anne at least half of the night every month.
Sometimes Piggie even suspects that Alice chose to rent another house just to escape Anne's dark cooking.
Fear of the night is probably a common problem of the Light Race.
In their eyes, darkness means the unknown and mysterious, a breeding ground for ugliness and decay, so it must be destroyed by the power of the Light.
But in the eyes of the Night Race, this is nothing more than the crazy and extreme thoughts of the cowards who are afraid of the dark in fear.
As a member of the race that believes in the Holy Light, but also a ranger, Alice is an extremely contradictory existence.
As a light elf, she has a very serious fear of the dark, but the Ranger profession is destined to deal with the darkness. Because whether it is reconnaissance or individual medium and long-range strikes, many times it needs to be carried out in the dark night.
In the thousand-year history of Ymir Academy in the Free Federation of Heim, Alice graduated as the first Light Elf Ranger. Of course, the final assessment is conducted during the day, but it may not be so easy at night.
When Alice thinks she has ushered in a new era, she is surprised to find that what she has learned has no place to apply. The reason is simple, who would spend gold to hire a female ranger who is bloated and bulky, prays before every mission, and comes to the Great Aunt very accurately once she performs a night mission?
There is no experience without work, so after all this time, Alice is still just a silver-level ranger.
……
The moonlight outside the window is very heavy, and it is projected through the round window, and the shadows of the carved candlesticks and openwork vases are long. The old chiming clock ticks and ticks, making it particularly clear on such a quiet night.
Betty curled up in the couch, her body coiled up, while Pierge lay on all fours with her feet facing the air in an exaggerated manner, her mouth purring slightly.
It's business as usual.
However, as if falling from the sky, a large black shadow appeared on the floor, enveloping the entire sofa in darkness. The shadow moves very slowly, sometimes stopping, sometimes retreating slightly, which is strange and inexplicable.
Then, the shadow walked straight to the couch, and the shape of a hand was detached from it.
"Whoosh!"
Piger jumped up from the couch like a spring, his eyes unusually keenly looking to the side, and he struck a posture of poised action.
"Shhh
An eager, slight voice rang out, and it turned out to be Alice.
At this time, the long ears of this light elf were not hidden, and they were deftly erected on their heads. She crouched down slightly, opened the corner of the shutter with her hand, and looked downstairs.
Someone?
Although Pi Jie, who has a keen five senses, does not perceive any unusual noises, the elves rely on the six senses to perceive the world. In many cases, they have a premonition even before it happens.
Piggie retracted his claws and moved to the window, following Alice's gaze downward: in the dim moonlight, several shadows were slowly moving towards the building.
Whether it's Alice the Light Elf Stalker or Pije as the Glory Flame Dog, they can see everything that happens downstairs clearly with their good eyesight.
There were six of them, only six or seven years old, or even shorter, but Piger would not be naïve enough to think that some kind of prank was being played by some bear kids—they were acting strangely, covering their heads with black cloaks, and barefoot to avoid making any noise as they moved, so they could be prepared.
"Take me as a holy place. Looking at the sixth sense of women for so many years, they must be coming for us. Pipsqueak, it's not like you're out there, are you? Alice muttered under her breath. She wasn't suspicious of anything, she was just hiding her inner uneasiness.
Because of Anne and Piger's deliberate concealment, to this day, the chubby chick naively thinks that they are a combination of a silver preacher and a husky.
So in Alice's eyes, if these guys below are really coming towards them, relying on two light races that have lost their energy sources, plus a cat and a dog, they will have no power to fight back at all.
Pije was surprisingly calm at this point. Under the moonlight, the dog's eyes, which flickered like phosphorus fire, gave full play to his detection ability.
The moment one of the dark shadows looked up slightly, Piger could see very clearly the long ears of the two sharp knives, the treacherous triangular eyes, and the obscenity of the other party hidden in a huge cloak. Long nose of zolian association.
Goblins, goblins again.
Pije felt very uncomfortable. Originally, he thought that his suspicion was too heavy, so that the goblin fat man was captured by the sheriff for no reason, but now this situation made him feel that the fat man was not wronged, because these goblins were probably attracted by the events of the day.
In terms of agility and mobility, they are not as easy to deal with as they are during the day.
"You're going to look at it like this?"
Alice and Pije were startled by the sudden sound behind them, and when they turned their heads, Anne was looking at them with a package in her hand, dressed and carrying a package in her hand.
Although she looks like a little girl on the surface, and sometimes there will be some mistakes, but honestly speaking, the masters who can enter the divine domain are not simple-minded guys.
Before Alice and Piger could react, Anne had already walked briskly to the window, glanced down, and said, "These people are going to climb up from the drain outside the building, and we must get out of here in two minutes." There's someone guarding downstairs, so get out of your room, Alice. - Pipsqueak, I'll leave it to you! ”
"No way!" Alice refused, "We can't keep Pippi here, he has to ......"
The latter words were not spoken, because Anne slapped Alice on the neck and stunned her, and then exaggeratedly carried the behemoth and walked outside, as if remembering something, he turned his head and said, "Don't make too much noise here, or we will have to change places to live." ”
……
In the darkness, Pije silently looked at the few nimble little men downstairs. They were clinging to the wall, climbing quickly up the smooth drain, as if such difficult climbs were commonplace.
Thinking of Anne's words, Piggie knew that he had been abandoned again.
In the first plane of distress a few times, this little girl would pretend to be weak, and then run away very unrighteously, leaving everything to Pijie to deal with.
Of course, this is not really unjust, but because Anne's strength is too strong, in order to avoid unnecessary damage, she took the initiative to avoid the battle. Pije, on the other hand, is adept at using Yin Tricks to damage his moves, and is always able to eliminate all threats without attracting attention.
But this time, this vicious dog is really not sure about his own strength, after all, he is facing six or seven professional killers!
“……”
While he was still wondering what to do with these guys, the guy who climbed at the front had already poked his head out of the window. Piger had no chance to think of anything else but his own killer move.
"Whoa, open the window, let go of the stupid cat!"
So Anne gave Piger the task, and the vicious dog shamelessly subcontracted it to Betty.
The goblin killer, dressed in black, was about to lift his cloak to check the room, when he suddenly heard a strange cry from above.
He looked up suddenly, and was shocked to find a little creature with a silver glow all over his body rushing out of the house, passing past him, jumping to the low wall at the edge of the building in three steps, and then disappearing into the long grass.
"Purifying Light?!"
The goblin killer, who was originally calm and calm, couldn't help but scream, and jumped down from the side, despite his companions below. Although the rest of the people didn't know what to do, they immediately rushed to catch up after hearing the words "Purifying Light".
The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind. Hiding in the dark of the house, Pije heard them running away, and finally followed.
Piger, who uses the "Glory Heart" that absorbs the Holy Light as a spiritual beacon, and Betty's "Holy Light Candle" are born with some kind of sensitivity, so the two of them can always cooperate so tacitly.
I could have found a crack in the ground and climbed straight into it, or I could have climbed up the bulge outside the building. But at this moment, the stupid cat was playing out of place, and he was playing around with a few goblin killers on the surface.
"Meow!"
The mischievous Persian cat rushed left and right, and under the siege and interception of the six goblin killers, he had no intention of parrying at all, not only tossing and turning freely, but even stumbling several times on them very insidiously.
The reason for this, in addition to the small amount of skill bonuses as a level 99 quasi-Sanctuary master, should also be due to the carefully arranged mechanisms that Piger creates from time to time. In comparison, the level of capture of these damn goblins is still far behind.
What is rare is that although the six goblins are fiercely chasing in the grass of the small park, the sound is very small, which shows that the strength is not bad.
"Ace, let's defend both sides and use your snake attack against it!" A deep voice said.
As soon as the words came out, the six of them instantly divided into two teams, each holding a weapon and following Betty to the left and right of it.
It would have been impossible for them to form an airtight encirclement, but with pressure on the left and right flanks as they are now, it would have been easy to get the Persian cat to run in a single direction as they wanted.
"Meow—"
It's not clear what the guys are trying to do, but their instincts tell Betty that danger is coming. It put away the idea of continuing to play, and began to look left and right, looking for a big tree to climb on.
The skinniest guy in the group lowered his body seemingly inadvertently, and then his body suddenly curled up into a round ball, and rolled forward at lightning speed.
Then, a wide, disproportionately large palm sneaked into Betty's back, clenched it violently, and lifted it into the air with great ease.
"I caught ......"
"Whew!"
Black and white, who resembled a frostwolf, Pijie pounced on him from behind with unusual ferocity.
