Naturally, the puppet has no eyes, and even if it does, it is just a decorative prop and does not have a practical effect. Cheese regretted seeing the enemy's appearance, Jerry trusted himself completely, but in exchange for a mistake, but now it was too late to remind the nezumi, Rao is gray robe can only pray that the puppet's cut position is not too deadly. The world is unpredictable, just as Cheese didn't expect a murderous doll to ambush him in the alley, he also couldn't imagine that the vicious doll would suddenly stand in place after being illuminated by the sun in the Breath of Dawn, and black smoke would come out of the joints of those joints!

It is said that in even older times, when magic was rampant, sorcerers were the masters of the world, squandering their mana and colluding with the gods of the heavens and the demons of the earth, plunging the world into chaos and endless upheaval. This chaotic world came to an end with the appearance of the sun, the powerful and gentle sunlight that suppressed all magic, and since then, only a handful of all-conquering archmages have been able to display their unrivaled power, and the rest of the casters have either sunk in the darkness and become pathetic sorcerers, or they have studied the ways of magic with determination and become wizards and mages. To put it mildly, the sun is the suppressor of all what is now called supernatural power, and under the sun, the power of magic will naturally weaken or even collapse directly. In this way, the puppet in front of you is not exactly an ingenious creation.

As the lights dimmed, Jerry reopened his eyes, and he could see at a glance the abnormality of his opponent, and the severely trained assassin would not let go of this opportunity, he stretched out his dagger, stabbed the joints of the puppet's neck and right shoulder, and pried it vigorously, directly peeling the latter's head and right arm from the torso. The puppet is not a living thing, and the loss of some limbs does not affect movement, so the nezumi flies up and kicks the puppet's chest, disrupting its balance and losing some limbs, making it difficult for inferior automaton to regain mobility. Although I really want to completely eradicate this hidden danger, the people of the Nine Rings Gang have already arrived.

"Let's go!" said the nezumi and gently nudged the cheese. Jerry himself is not worried about getting out, unlike the mage, the buildings here can completely provide him with a three-dimensional escape route, plus the cover of night, it is useless for Rao is strong bow and crossbow to see the target. The mage knew that getting out wasn't a problem for the nezumi, and as long as they weren't besieged by a large number of people, there were only a handful of people in the city who could catch Jerry. So he didn't hesitate to turn around and rush into the depths of the alley, leaving the nezumi and the chasing gang around. However, with the precedent of being ambushed, this time he remained alert when moving.

The noise gradually faded away. It was already some distance away from the small square where they met, and the people of the Nine Rings Gang did not dare to chase such a far away with such fanfare, even if it was a small group of elite hunters, it was not easy to find a specific target from the cracks in the tall buildings. What's more, in order not to attract attention, Cheese quietly changed the color of the gray robe, and turned the clothes on his body black through a simple illusion spell. This kind of discoloration is naturally an insult for the gray robe, but the situation is more urgent than others, the power of the nine-ring knife is beyond the imagination of the cheese, and the leader's reaction is also extremely decisive.

A group that is extremely hostile to the caster, something that has not been mentioned in anyone's previous intel on it. Although it was known that the boss of the Nine Rings had beheaded several wizards and been given the nickname of the Wizard Killer, everyone including Cheese saw this as a coincidence and the inevitable result of possession of the Nine Rings Knife, and none of them considered why the leader was so ruthless in the face of wizards. You must know that most wizards, even if they are not very skillful, will always have a few unique skills in their hands, and these unique skills can often quickly accumulate considerable wealth in the secular world. Kill them, it's better to win them over.

Thankfully, now that Cheese knew about it, his overall understanding of the Nine Rings had improved considerably, how to deal with a group of organizations with witch-hunting tendencies? This should be a lesson that all spellcasters will be taught, at least those who have studied magic should have thought about it for themselves. Such a group with fanatical goals is as simple as difficult to deal with. If they were to be encountered in a relatively isolated town, the mage would probably choose to evacuate immediately. Fortunately, Rushing is a big enough city, and the forces here are large enough that there are really limits to what an extremist group can set off.

In comparison, the mage was now more interested in the doll that had ambushed him. He hadn't met anyone selling this kind of guy on the black street, and he didn't ask the reason for it in Youhe, which showed that either the sales channel of the puppet was more secret than the black street, and even a guy like Jung was reluctant to mention it directly. Either that, or the dolls are not for sale at all, they only serve one owner.

"I haven't found you yet, but you've come to the door. Cheese chuckled. He didn't expect to be intercepted by a puppet. But think about it from another perspective, the other party negotiated with the mountain monster and gave it the valuable magic loom to use, but when it was about to succeed, the team spoiled the situation and had to destroy the loom. If this kind of thing is put on Cheese himself, he will definitely take revenge on the troublemaker.

The question is, how did the other party find him? Cheese's first reaction was the severed hand, and it was normal for the caster to sense his creation, but he had checked it repeatedly and did not feel the breath of magic on it. Combined with the timing of the puppet's appearance, the mage naturally linked the bounty on Atta to this mysterious maker, is it possible that the other party somehow knew that the person who cut off his puppet's arm at that time was a female swordsman, and then found the members and whereabouts of the team through the bounty?

A black shadow fell from the wall around him, and the nezumi was sure not to be entangled. He straightened his somewhat disheveled clothes a little and walked over to Cheese, "Those pursuers aren't far from here. I knew a few neighborhoods that they didn't dare to approach, and we walked through those places and made a detour back to the metal felt. ”

"A detour? That would take a lot of time. Cheese looked at Jerry in a strange tone.

The latter didn't notice the playfulness on the mage's face, and was about to set off after simply identifying the direction, "Maybe it's a little detour, but that road is safer." Spend more time..."

"With more time, those who go to the dwarven territory to carry out assassinations have a higher chance of success, right?"

Jerry turned his back to Cheese and froze, "When did you notice that?"

"Probably when you were so desperate to get this meeting done. I had little hope of convincing the Nine Rings Gang. This time I actually came more to see if that knife was really so powerful, and now it seems that it is completely worth it. In addition, it took me a lot of time to practice the action of lifting the lantern into a knee-jerk reaction. ”

"I didn't mean to hurt you, I wanted to—" The nezumi tried to explain his intentions, though he knew that Cheese would most likely not accept his logic.

The mage walked up to Jerry's side and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't skimp on the means to achieve the goal, and keep it a secret in order to ensure success." You've been trained well. However, Krus didn't teach you something else. There are some things that are beyond the strength of one's own strength, so I have to break my wrist by a strong man, which is true. But that's what people are all about, and we're greedy, and it's the right way to use the power of the crowd to minimize the cost we have to pay. Prudence and trust, these are the poles of a balance beam, and you have to find the middle point yourself. ”

"As for this time, it's my best move. ”
