Volume 3 The Walker in the Dark Ninety-Eight, Against the Enemy

No one answered his question, but there was more and more silver light, and Minna took the time to take a look, and found that they were all fine needles made of stainless steel, about three or four centimeters long, and they were three points below the surface, and the user obviously had a lot of strength.

The black-clothed messenger was annoyed, and with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen whirlpools with blue light appeared in the air, touching Minna and the others, emitting bursts of small lightning, which made people feel paralyzed.

The whirlpool roamed around in the tent, stirring up countless electric lights, and a black shadow suddenly came in from outside the tent and said coldly: "Stop! Minna found out that it was the black-clad masked man she had just met outside the Demon Master's tent, wasn't he an accomplice of the enemy? What about his companions?

When the black-clothed messenger saw the man, his face changed, he waved his hand to retract the whirlpool, and said with a gloomy smile: "It's actually Your Excellency, I seem to remember, you are still grounded, right?" I didn't expect you to dare to disobey Your Majesty's will. ”

"I will explain this to Your Majesty." The man stood there like this, his figure standing proudly, "But I'm really curious about your true identity, can you explain?" Those two... Who is it? ”

The black-clothed messenger did not answer, and confronted him. At this time, Minna and the others were busy dealing with the bird's attack. Minna felt that it seemed to be more difficult to deal with than the last time, and she was particularly "favored" to herself, and she struggled to avoid its claws and pointed beak, knowing in her heart that it was revenge. She wanted to use the old method to conjure up an ice wall and ice net to trap the bird, but the beast was obviously wary and more clever, and as soon as she saw her emitting an ice wall, she immediately flew to a high place, and when she lowered her head, she emitted a cloud of black smoke. Minna had a bad premonition and hurriedly shouted: "Be careful! A small whirlwind from his left hand swept the black smoke towards the top of the tent, only to hear a snort. Most of the roof of the curtain was corroded by black smoke and fell in pieces. A large area of the night sky was revealed, and a gust of wind blew out most of the candles in the tent, and the moonlight shone down quietly, but the wolf howl sounded from time to time in the distance.

Luma, Duras Jr., and the others couldn't help but shudder, imagining the consequences of that puff of black smoke spraying on themselves. The former saw that several pieces of the tent roof had fallen on the unconscious girls, and their skin and clothes suddenly darkened. Hurriedly beckoned everyone to hurry up and save people.

Minna, on the other hand, looked at the blackbird and had an idea: it was a black shadow, could it not be an entity? Maybe she should change her attack.

After thinking about it, she saw that the bird raised her head again, as if she was planning to spray the black mist again, and hurriedly mobilized the maximum magic power of her body, and threw an ice condensation technique over, trying to freeze the bird in a large block of ice, but the bird dodged quickly and only half froze. Half of the body struggled, and the wings were blowing in gusts of wind. Minna gritted her teeth and performed another ice condensation spell to freeze the bird entirely. She felt her body weaken for a while, and she almost fell to her knees, knowing that it was the result of an overdraft of her magic power, and she could only force it up.

The blackbird was trapped in the ice, unable to move, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. But the owner of the bird was so angry that he didn't bother to deal with the masked man's questioning, and said to Minna viciously, "The second time, the second time! I will never let you go! With that, he raised his left hand and pointed to the ice, and the words were in his mouth, and the ice that had frozen the blackbird vibrated at the same time. Little Duras exclaimed, and Minna stared at the black-clothed messenger and whispered to Luma, "I can't do it again." Lack of mana. ”

Luma was shocked. He made a look at his colleagues, and everyone swung their weapons at the messenger. The latter stopped chanting the incantation, folded his body into a strange position, dodged them one by one, and smiled proudly: "You can't hurt me, die..."

Almost at the same time. A dark shadow appeared next to the masked man. It was Minna who had seen the people with black swords before. In his hand, he was holding the blue glowing altar. Silently handed it over to the former.

As soon as the masked man reached the altar. Then he whispered, "Let's go." "Just about to turn around. The black-clothed messenger shouted in a hoarse voice, "Don't try to escape! I still want to run if I get hurt? Dream! Give me back the jar! ”

The masked man sneered and turned back: "Are you dreaming?" You think you're right now. What's the threat to me?! The earthman behind him raised the black sword in his hand.

The black-clothed messenger gritted his teeth and jumped backwards in pain. Turning his head to Minna and the others, he grinned: "Do you want to save these unconscious people?" Go grab that jar, right? If you can't grab it. This lovely girl will never wake up for the rest of her life! He turned around. The body quickly vanished.

Little Duras and the others turned to look at the masked man. The latter took a step back vigilantly. Hold the jar tight. Domit gasped twice. pounced: "Give it to me!" "Kicked away by the man. It was only with the help of a guard that he was able to gain a foothold. I want to rush over again. Stopped by Luma. And Duras Jr. stepped forward. Staring at the masked man, "Your Excellency is the same enemy of these people as we are. I really don't want to argue with you. Please put the jar down. To know. There are only two of you. It is impossible to leave the ground easily. ”

There was a hint of menace in his words. The masked man sneered: "If there are many people, it means that the strength is strong." Then why did you just do something about them? We were just two people. But people are our wounds. Something we snatched back. Why do you tell me to put the jar down?! ”

Little Duras was stunned, and he knew that what the other party said was the truth, but looking at Domit, he felt that he couldn't give in, so he put his sword across his chest again: "That... You can only speak with strength! ”

The masked man also raised his knife, and Luma stepped forward to say something, but Minna preempted him: "Stop!" Now that there are enemies outside, how can you fight?! ”

The two men then remembered that there were still those horrible corpses outside the tent. Strangely, however, the sound of bones seemed to have diminished a lot, and one of the Security Service officers lifted the curtain to see the corpses outside struggling to get upright, but as if they were running out of strength, they kept falling, but their feet were still moving in the direction of the tent. Although these corpses move slowly, it is difficult to get out if they surround them.

Little Duras and the masked man looked at each other when they saw what was happening outside the tent. They all stopped what they were doing, but the latter turned around and was about to leave. Angry Domit yelled, "Come back! You can't escape! ”

"Enough!" Minna couldn't stand it anymore and said to Domit, "That person just now obviously wanted to sow discord between the two of us, why did you fall for it?" Then he turned to the masked man and said, "Your Excellency is also here to save people, right?" Maybe we can cooperate. She glanced to the side, and the black sword swordsman, who had been staying behind the masked man, picked up a girl with curly hair at some point. The dark green silk long skirt, the figure is delicate and cute, and she is one of the victim girls.

Luma asked, "What is that jar in?" Does it have anything to do with saving people? ”

The black sword swordsman silently carried the girl back behind the masked man, and the latter hesitated for a moment, then said, "I don't know what it contains, but it is likely to be something similar to a soul." I asked one of the magicians in the camp about it. He glanced at Minna, "I don't know what they are doing to collect these, but if they take them with them, with a simple dose of water, these boys and girls will never regain their old memories." It's a different person entirely. ”

Domick wailed and hugged his fiancΓ©e. Minna bit her lip, this time she seemed too confident. I thought I would just do it in the house, but I almost made a big mistake.

Luma asked, "Then how can we restore them?" ”

"Just let the soul come back to them." The masked man glanced at the altar in his hand and hesitated, "Probably... It's about breaking the bottle, right? ”

Minna hurriedly said: "Then break it here!" It's not a way for both of us to fight like this, it's better to save it together now! ”

"No way!" Duras Jr. was a little anxious, "If that's not the right thing to do." So what to do? Let's go back and ask the mage to save it. ”

The masked man did not listen to him, and after a slight groan, he decisively threw the jar in his hand to the ground. As the fragments of the altar scattered, dozens of light blue, light green, light pink, and light purple light flew out of the altar, scattered in the tent, and flew towards those teenagers and girls. Minna saw a cloud of lilac light enter Arsina's body, and she sighed and slowly woke up. Domit called her name in ecstasy, and she was in a daze. Muttered softly: "Domit? Domit burst into tears. He kept kissing her forehead and calling her by name.

And the girl held by the black sword swordsman. He gradually woke up, first screaming, and hearing the masked man whisper: "Quiet, Junia! Only then did he stop his mouth and look at the masked man's eyes full of disbelief: "My earth is a god of light!" Jay, why are you here?! She jumped out of the arms of the black sword swordsman, threw herself into the arms of the former, and cried bitterly: "I thought I would never see you again." A hint of helplessness flashed in the masked man's eyes and he patted her head gently.

The boys and girls in the tent all came to their senses, some of them wept as soon as they regained consciousness, some of them trembled, and a few of them were bold, and when they heard that someone had come to save them, they all got up and prepared to escape, but when they saw the situation outside the tent, they could not help but tremble their teeth.

Suddenly a low male voice was chanting something in the distance, and the syllables sounded a little like the prayers of the Cult of the Illuminati, and a little like the long poems of the elves. When everyone heard this, they all felt extremely calm in their hearts, and the fear just now was gone.

Minna felt a little strange, listened carefully for a while, and thought that it was probably magic from the temple, and her heart moved, and she lifted the curtain and went out, and Luma stopped her in surprise: "Don't! "I also came out, only to find that there was a black ash outside, where were there any corpses?

In the distance in the moonlight, sat a man in a white robe, and next to him stood a child, who looked no more than seven or eight years old. Minna took a few steps closer to recognize who it was, and was about to say hello to each other when she heard an exclamation from behind her: "Devil! "It's little Duras.

Minna turned around and glared at him viciously: "He's an angel, not a devil!" Then he ran to the man in the white robe and cried out, "Father, why are you here?!" Thanks to you just now! ”

The man was none other than Father Riddle, and his face was a little pale: "Fortunately, I caught up, I thought it was too late." He looked at the boy next to him, "Kid, I'm sorry, I have to use this method." The boy raised his arm to wipe away tears from his face: "No, I want to thank you for saving them." ”

Minna looked at them in amazement, and Father Riddle smiled, "This is a child from a nearby oasis village. Their whole village was killed, and they became like thisβ€”" he paused. He added: "I went on a mission yesterday and found out about the tragedy, and this child has been hiding in the cellar, and he is the only survivor, and he brought me here. I don't know who did this with necromancy, it's so evil! ”

Minna was stunned: "Necromancy?!" Hasn't that been lost for thousands of years?! ”

Father Riddle said solemnly, "It would have been, but apparently someone has passed it down. Drive the dead to their own use. It was originally an evil art, and these murderers actually used the means of massacre to create corpses, and I must report this matter to the Holy See immediately! He stood up a little shaky, "Take me around, I'm going to make sure there are no living corpses left." ”

Minna hurriedly supported him: "Are you okay?" Is it a magic overdraw? "The number of living corpses just now was so large, they were all wiped out by Riddle, and the mana consumption must be very strong.

Riddle waved his hand and walked towards the camp with her support, and as they passed Duras Jr. and the others, they all gasped and staggered back. Several of the rescued girls screamed and cried. Father Riddle didn't care, and Minna glared at them a few times, only to realize that the masked man and the three were gone.

Clean up the battlefield. After a search, they found that most of the guards in the camp were living corpses, and the rest either died in the fierce battle or fled, and even if they were caught, they would rather wipe their necks with a knife. didn't dare to tell the truth, and those girls who had lost their souls and memories couldn't ask anything except to smile at men.

Most of the rescued teenagers and girls didn't know what was going on, but Domit's fiancΓ©e, Alsina, was the most sober-minded, and although her body was still very weak, she still insisted on telling what she knew.

After they were caught here. At first, it was closed for most of the day. They were then taken to the tent, where the black-clad messenger pricked their fingers with a strangely shaped needle. Squeeze out a small cup of blood and try it with a crystal ball, if the ball glows white, it means it's still a virgin, if it emits a red light, it means it's not. The young girls who were not virgins were immediately forced to drink a bowl of mushrooms, and then they became stupid and were taken down. And Arsina and the others, who were still virgins, were gathered together to listen to the beautiful woman in the black veil.

But Arsina couldn't remember what she had said, she just listened and lost consciousness, and when she woke up, she saw Domit.

Luma asked and asked, and did not stop until an angry look appeared in Domit's eyes. Little Duras pushed a man into the tent and kicked him a few times: "This guy is hiding in the treasury, and he is definitely not a good person!" He was followed by the two declining aristocratic youths, who were also menacing.

As soon as Minna looked at the man, she recognized that it was the man who abducted and sold the youngest son of the Hedda family and the daughter of the Luo family, and saw him trembling and pleading: "I... I'm just a grain seller, and I just happened to deliver a batch of grain, and I'm really innocent. ”

Minna sneered and leaned over to Luma's side and whispered a few words, who nodded to little Duras: "He's a human trafficker. Arsina also said, "I know him, he brought us here." ”

Hearing this, little Duras kicked the man a few more times: "Say! Who instructed you?! Why are you doing this?! ”

Seeing that his identity was ruined, the man no longer maintained a humble expression, and said grimly: "Who called you nobles?!" Why are you standing on our heads and trampling us into mud under our feet?! Hmph, I just want to see, you noble young masters and young ladies take off your clothes, aren't you also as cheap as a prostitute?! He spat little Duras: "I recognize your hair and eyes!" That woman in your family is even more debauched than a prostitute from a poor family! What a natural prostitute! ”

Little Duras shook it, drew the sword at his waist and was about to stab it, but a young man next to him took the lead and stabbed a sharp scimitar into the man's throat, his eyes were bloodshot: "You still dare to say?!" Dare you say it!! He stabbed the man like crazy, and little Duras stayed for a long time before pulling him up: "Enough! That's enough! The young man suddenly burst into tears: "Sister, I have avenged you!" ”

Minna suddenly felt a little sour in her nose and turned her head hurriedly, but Luma opened her mouth to say something, but she still didn't say it

They packed up their things and returned to the city with the rescued people. Duras Jr. and the others went to rest, but Minna sat down with the members of the Security Department to review the success and loss of the operation.

She first admitted her mistake: "I was too confident, I didn't expect that they would have other means besides water, and it was my negligence that almost caused a big mistake." ”

"You can't be entirely blamed for that." Lumar Road. "You're limited alone, and you can't do much until we arrive." Everyone also nodded in agreement: "Those young people and girls who have been poured into the ground, if you hadn't done it, I'm afraid you would have been stupid for the rest of your life, and you saved them." ”

When Minna heard this, she felt better, but she was still a little worried: "But it's also my responsibility to not catch Esparo this time." "No one expected Esparo to disappear in that chaos, when Minna sneaked in before, she clearly saw that he was still in the camp, only half a day later, he was no longer there, and the items in the tent were cleanly packed, it was impossible to leave in a hurry, it was very likely that they left before entering the camp.

Luma patted Minna on the shoulder, "It's okay. Young people will inevitably make mistakes, and it is not easy for you to stay there alone, sleepless, and it is possible to look away. But now that the clues are all broken, what do we do next? ”

A colleague sighed: "Actually, we have completed the task, but we always feel as if we have not completed it." There is no evidence for Esparo's matter, and we can't sue it at all. ”

"What evidence do you want? Just take a look at Balasig. ”

"Alright, stop arguing." Luma stopped the crowd, "Let's discuss our next move." He turned to Minna and asked, "Have you seen the masked man before?" What is the origin? ”

Minna said: "I fought him a few times in the camp, and he is very good at swordsmanship, but I shouldn't have seen it, but..." she hesitated: "I think his voice is very familiar..."

At this time, someone knocked on the door, and a colleague who was closest got up to open the door, and saw that it was Domit standing outside with Alsina in his arms, and said, "Arsina said that I remembered something that might be useful to you, and insisted on coming to tell you." "Kamima seems to be very dissatisfied.

Luma glanced at everyone and hurriedly said, "Please speak." Minna pulled a chair for her to sit on, and Arsina glanced at "him" gratefully, sat down and said, "Actually, I heard those people say in private, they say that we... To be sold to three customers, it is a regular customer, and two are the big shots of Wisdom, what is it called... Hob and Imu, and one more is an oasis of entertainment. I don't know... Is this useful to you? ”

Minna's heart moved, and she looked at Luma, seeing that the other party's eyes were full of surprise.
