Seeing that Evan was lying in the cabin without speaking, his eyes half-narrowed and half-closed, as if he was pretending to sleep, the boatman hurriedly sat on the bow of the boat to enjoy the coolness, and let the boat float down the water to the lake.

The shore was quiet in the dead of night, and the cool breeze whipped through the leaves like a comb, making a slight rustling sound.

I don't know how long it took, Ivan suddenly heard a slight vibration, at first he thought it was the boatman sorting things, but when he listened closely, the sound was obviously coming from the shore, and it was getting clearer and louder.

"It's the sound of chocobos running, and it seems that there are quite a few of them. This chocobo is the standard mount of the Corona Knight...... Sending out in small teams at night, is it catching assassins!?"

Thinking of this, Evan quickly sat up and followed the sound to look at the shore.

If he really caught the assassin, he would have to intervene anyway, after all, he had fallen to this point because of that missile.

At this time, the moonlight on the lakeside is bright and clean, cool as water, and the sky is far away and clear.

With the rapid quacking of chocobos, more than a dozen corona knights galloped from afar. The leader was a female officer in a cape, with burgundy hair cut to ear-length lengths, and she wore long riding boots that only warriors use. Her snow-white skin is faintly cherry due to intense exercise, and her energetic body is wrapped in a tight black leather suit, like a flying eagle.

"Rennie!?"

Evan recognized her at a glance from a distance, after all, they had known each other for a long time, and the other party was still the first eagle dog under the seat of the cheap cousin.

The object of a dozen Corona Knights and Rennie's pursuit was a ragged, dark-skinned woman about thirty years old and covered in scars.

With her bare feet wrapped in bandages, her expression twisted violently, and the corners of her mouth dripping with reddish saliva, she was galloping at a speed that ordinary humans could not match—so fast that she could compete with chocobos at 80 kilometers per hour.

"That'...... What's the matter with that woman!?"

The boatman also clearly sensed that something was wrong, and looked at the woman who was running wildly, showing a stunned expression, and the rolled tobacco slipped from his mouth and fell into the water.

"Quack!"

Suddenly, the chocobo flapped its wings and raised its head, and the woman sneered and drew her sword, and her slender and powerful legs stepped on the horses' shoes, and she stood up from her saddle, her body as muscular as that of a Valkyrie in a battle robe.

Whoosh——!

She aimed at the woman's back, swirling her arms and throwing her sword with all her might.

呲——!

The surface of the blade swept through the intoxicating scenery of the lakeside, like a shining silver thread piercing through the air, directly piercing the target's back, breaking through the gap, and stabbing into the earth with a terrible wisp of blood.

"Wow!"

The woman's throat flicked, and the galloping figure slowed down quickly, blood spilling on the ground like a curtain of rain, corroding a honeycomb-shaped hole.

"This woman!"

Ivan saw this scene in his eyes, and roughly understood the reason why she was being hunted, and at the same time felt that the other party exuded an aura of déjà vu.

Rennie leaned over the chocobo's long neck, maneuvered his mount and leaped vigorously, slashing directly across a distance of thirty meters, landing directly in front of the target, tilting his upper body and shaking the ground, and drew his bloodshot saber:

"Where else can you escape!?"

"Ahh

Seeing the Corona Knight surrounding her in front and back, the woman suddenly fell to her knees, her face screaming to the sky, her neck suddenly swollen like a frog, and the blood was black and hot like mud all around.

"Get out of the way!"

The Sun-Faced Riders instinctively scattered, and Rennie swept away with his sword with squinted eyes, and the blades of the sword intertwined with a snowy flash, like an icy mirror, sweeping away the blood without missing a moment.

Whoosh——!

And at this moment, the strange woman turned sharply, bared her mouth with thick fangs, and bounced up like an ape, and her figure jumped directly over the sparkling lake and rushed towards the boatman on the sightseeing boat.

“......”

Ivan suddenly moved, as if a ghost flashed, and the figure suddenly appeared in front of the boatman, and the silver lines on his body also exploded and surged at this moment, and the lightning was shining. It was as if a hurricane had risen from the ground, swirling and surging around his body, blowing his coat and hair upwards and tumbling on the hunt.

Woohoo——!

A swirling black electric current in the palm of his hand quickly condensed, forming a dark ball of lightning that whistled out as the five fingers opened. Everywhere the air was pulled, forming a gale, which struck the woman like a storm drill.

Boom ——!

The dense black electric light burst into the air, and the black smoke filled the air, and the woman who had been blown into charred charcoal fell straight into the water, sinking to the bottom like a stone.

"Are you...... His Majesty Evan. ”

Renee immediately recognized Evan, showed a surprised expression, and immediately jumped off the back of the chocobo, and ran all the way to Mirror Lake.

This stupid girl!

He couldn't wait to slam his fist on the other party's head, and he was clearly dressed like he didn't want to be recognized, but she didn't see it - she didn't know how to distinguish between faces and colors after following Elu Luomei for so long!?

"Evan ...... Your Majesty!?"

The boatman was stunned for a few seconds, and after realizing something, his knees weakened and he fell directly in front of the other party.

"Don't kneel, stand up. ”

Evan first semi-forcibly helped the boatman up, and then glanced at Renny fiercely:

"Soon it won't be anymore!"

“......”

The female officer knew that she had said the wrong thing, showed a look of embarrassment, looked at him curtly, and asked with a slight hesitation:

"Why are you here if you're not in the Temple of Hades?"

"Can't you be distracted?"

Ivan replied angrily, glanced at the location where the woman fell into the lake, and asked rhetorically with a twisted eyebrow:

"What's the matter with this woman?"

"She is a baby-eating witch who hides in the sewers during the day and robs other people's children at night for food. It took a lot of effort for our men to catch her, and we were about to burn her at the stake, but this guy broke free from her shackles and chased her all the way here. Renee explained in detail.

"It's a witch......

Ivan raised his eyebrows, and his dark eyes showed a look of disgust.

The origin of witches and wizards must be traced back to the mythological era of chaos in the god system. At that time, the gods were constantly fighting against each other, and often each city-state enshrined an exclusive god, so there was good and evil. The sacrifices of those evil gods who act contrary to human morality are the precursors of witches and wizards. To some extent, they do belong to the ranks of orthodoxy, but because of the dogma they believe in, they are contrary to morality, and even intolerable by human society.
