Breaking walls, fighting, thundering...... The constant sound of the connection soon attracted the attention of others. However, when the first group of troops arrived, Alice had already collapsed in a pool of blood, and although Sophia, who was asleep on the side of Owen's bed, quickly followed the second group of troops and gave Alice emergency treatment, she could only temporarily stabilize Alice's injuries, but could not make Alice wake up.

The footsteps at the scene were scattered, and there were violent fights, and Alice left traces of sword wounds and lightning magic strikes, and a broken sword could be picked up at the scene, as well as the residual magical energy in the air, indicating that there were at least two or more enemies; near the central scene, there were also scattered the corpses of 6 soldiers, they were all killed by swords, unlike the central scene, there were no traces of a fight found where the 6 dead were located, they were killed in an instant, and they did not react at all.

This was the conclusion reached during the initial survey of the site. But it didn't help Sophia better.

"A master who is good at using swords?" Joyka, who was belated, took the half-cut iron sword left on the ground from Sophia's hand and muttered, "Although there are other people who are helping, it is definitely not easy to injure Alice wearing the True Martial Armor like that." ”

"The blacksmith in charge of the sword forging has checked just now, and this is a sword forged in the camp," Sophia said, "and these murderers are hiding around us. ”

"It's playing this game again, huh! it's just ......."

Joika's words stopped abruptly, and he stared at the messy footsteps on the ground.

"What's wrong?"

"Strange?!" Joika circled around the messy footsteps of the scene, then crouched down and studied it carefully for a while, frowning, "What a familiar body." Who the hell is going to make this set of footwork?"

"Joika, do you see something?"

But Joyka didn't immediately answer Sophia's question. After a few seconds of silence, he stood up and changed the subject: "Sophia, how is Alice's injury, is it life-threatening?"

"There is no immediate danger to life for the time being, but the situation is not optimistic. Sophia shook her head and said, "I've dealt with it urgently." But she had been hit by multiple stab wounds and lightning magic, and now her life was as fragile as a hair, unable to withstand another round of damage. ”

"Sophia, these murderers are targeting you. They want to cut off your wings before they can attack you directly. ”

"I know that. These enemies are very familiar to us, but we don't know anything about them?" Sophia shuddered at the thought of this.

"It doesn't matter who they are, since they dare to hurt Alice like this, I will never let them go. Alas, I really didn't expect that in the morning Alice told me to stay these days and not go out, to deal with possible critical situations, but I didn't expect that she would have an accident herself in the evening. ”

"I'm not going to let them continue to do anything wrong!" Sophia said.

First Owen, now Alice, these days, the people around her have been in trouble one after another, and Sophia vaguely feels that a huge black net is opening up on her head. Sophia knew that the more critical the situation, the more she had to be calm and never panic.

After thinking for a while, Sophia asked, "Joika, didn't you notice any unusual people or movements just now?"

"Nope. Joyka shook her head, "I just woke up." ”

"Just woke up?" Sophia was a little surprised, usually Joika should be the first to sense the danger.

"I wonder how I slept groggily tonight, and if it weren't for the noise of a lot of people walking around outside, I probably wouldn't have woken up by now. Joika touched her head and said, "Could it be that you drank too much yesterday?"

When Joyka touched her head, Sophia looked over, and suddenly her face changed: "Joyka, your face is ......"

"What's on my face?" Joyka subconsciously reached out and touched her face, and when he touched the right gill, he suddenly felt a burst of pain.

"Damn, when did you get this?" Joyka startled.

At some point, a large bruise appeared on the painful spot he had just touched with his hand, as if he had been hit hard by something. Joyka, who has always been known for being very cautious, has no idea that he is injured on the face, and what a shock it is to him, who has always been conceited, that is why he reacts so violently.

"You have to be careful, the enemy's next target may be you. Sophia reminded.

"Hmph, just let them come!" Joyka was angry, "Even if you put Owen and Alice's accounts first, my Uncle Joyka still has a private account to settle with these rats hiding in the sewers!"

......

When she returned to her room, Joyka thought about what had just happened for a while. At this time, there were more strange questions in his heart than Sophia's.

As soon as he entered the room, he looked in the mirror, and there was indeed a bruised mark on his right gill gang, which was indeed left after the blow, but why he didn't know it, this was one of them. Usually he has the most acute sense of murderous energy, why is he so slow tonight, and when the sound of the noisy crowd wakes him up, he is the last to arrive at the scene, which is the second. Why did he wake up and notice a sore feeling in the muscles of his body, it felt like he had just had a fight with someone else, and coincidentally, before waking up, he had a dream, in which he did have a fight with someone else, and the object of the fight was not someone else, it was Alice, this is the third. As for the fourth suspicion, it is the messy footsteps on the ground.

"This is the combat footwork that Mr. Tismu taught me. Mr. Tismu said that this set of footwork was refined by him from the experience accumulated in long-term battles, and there should be no third person in this world. Joyka pondered.

Could it be that the murderer was Tismu himself, or was there another student besides Joika? Obviously, neither of these speculations is possible in Joika's mind. Unable to give a reasonable explanation, Joyka did not tell Sophia about this discovery.

！？

At this moment, Joyka, who was in deep thought, felt a sudden and inexplicable malice.

"Who is it?!"

Joyka screamed, jumped out of bed, kicked open the window of the room, and the two wooden doors flew out of the room.

The malice outside the room was rapidly receding, but not urgent, as if inviting Joyka to meet her. But where could Joika be so easy? The bounty hunter, who never played his cards by the rules, did not chase after him, but tightened his bowstring and fired an arrow at where his instinctual malicious master might be.

"Whoosh--" The screech of sharp arrows pierced the night sky......

At the same time, in the forgotten nameless valley, the cave occupied by ascetic magicians for more than a month has left traces everywhere of the magician's leakage of magic due to the magician's emotional outburst.

"Shut up!"

"How can this be? Sophia and Owen are my best friends!"

"No! you can't do that, don't say ......."

"What give up Ray, I will never give up on my brother, and I will never turn my back on my friends!"

"You ask me what I can do? I must have a way, I must have a way!"

......

Cassius was arguing with some unseen person about something, constantly speaking into the air. The scene looks particularly eerie.
