Sneaking out of the banquet hall, Emily walked to the atrium of the castle.

Marble paved a winding stone path on the ground, surrounded by flowery and green lawns, the cloisters on all sides of the courtyard were decorated with elaborate reliefs, and a holy woman stood on the fountain in the center of the courtyard.

Sitting by the fountain pool, listening to the tinkling of the water, Emily held her chin in her hands and swayed her calves in annoyance.

Blowing the oncoming evening breeze, she didn't know why, her heart felt empty.

"Do boys really like women with big boobs?" With her hands on her chest, Emily's little mouth pursed slightly, and she suddenly sighed in frustration, and put her little hands on both sides, "I really want to grow up quickly." ”

She had never felt like this before, and Emily couldn't accurately understand this mood, but she simply felt that seeing Jiang Feng and other women too close to each other, she felt a sense of loss in her heart.

At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps in my ears.

Little ears moved, and Emily tilted her head to look to the side.

"Are you here alone?" I saw a girl with blonde hair and a ponytail walking up to her, leaning down slightly, and asking in a gentle tone, "What about your family?" Why not stay with them? ”

……

In order to avoid the entanglement of Viscount Cassio and not to disturb Princess Sophia, Cilita had to excuse herself and leave the banquet hall. Not knowing where to go, and not wanting to return to the banquet to endure the disgusting hospitality, she walked and walked here.

From a very young age, she lived in this castle as a playmate of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and when she became an adult, she returned here as the sword teacher of Her Royal Highness the Princess. If you think about it, you can spend almost as much time here as you do on the Gundal family's estate.

This garden is her favorite place.

Reminiscing for a moment as a child, Celita noticed a little girl sitting by the fountain.

The castle has numerous corridors and rooms, and it was not uncommon for children who followed their parents to the banquet hall to sneak out of the banquet hall and get lost in the castle when they used to hold banquets in the palace.

Thinking of this, Celita stepped forward and accosted Emily if she had been separated from her parents.

"Emily isn't a child, leave me alone." Emily, who was in a bad mood, snorted and twisted her head to the side.

But you are indeed a child.

Celita had a laughing and crying expression on her face.

At this moment, she suddenly noticed that between the emerald green hair, a slightly slender ear loomed.

"It's ......"

Slightly stunned, Cilita subconsciously asked.

"Ah......" Sensing Cilita's gaze, Emily exclaimed in small exclamation, quickly stretched out her little hand, grabbed the hood and put it back on her head, hiding the pointed ears.

There was no one in the atrium before, so she took off her hood to breathe, but she didn't expect to be seen by someone for a moment of carelessness.

Seeing that the big sister with the golden ponytail didn't speak, it took a long time for Emily to turn her face back and whisper.

"Scared?"

"No...... It's cute, it's cute. Recovering from her surprise, Celita smiled gently, looked at Emily's sapphire eyes, and asked suspiciously, "Are you an elf?" ”

"Only half of it," Emily whispered, "I'm half elf." ”

"My name is Celita Gondal." Celita smiled slightly and introduced herself, "Speaking of which, our family ancestors still have a lot of ties with elves. Can I know your name? Beautiful Miss Half-Elf. ”

"Emily Winterdew," Biting her lower lip slightly, Emily hesitated, looked at Celita with large pleading eyes, and whispered, "That...... Can you keep it a secret for me? If the wizard knew that Emily had accidentally let someone else see her ears, he would be angry. ”

"Don't worry, I'll protect this secret with my life and bet on the name of Gundar." With her right hand pressed to her chest, Miss Cilita said with a cheerful smile.

"Don't be so exaggerated." Emily whispered.

"Can you go back to the banquet hall with me now? If the wizard finds out that you're gone, you'll probably be even more angry. Celita said with a smile.

As soon as she heard Jiang Feng and thought of the figure of him and Princess Sophia "sticking together", Emily's small mouth pursed again, and her mood, which had recovered a little, suddenly became unbeautiful again.

"Humph! He won't, that big color. The wolf is ...... right now."

Because of the subconscious use of elven language, Cilita didn't understand what Emily said, and just as she was about to ask clearly, suddenly a feeling of being targeted crept up behind her, as if something was staring at her in the dark.

And with that comes ......

A murderous chill!

Almost subconsciously, she threw Emily to the side.

A dark shadow brushed past Cilita, nearly slicing the corners of her clothes. She caught a glimpse of the bolt as it pierced through the bushes and slammed into the wall.

"Hmph, there are two hits."

Seeing that the target dodged a blow, the man in black who shot the crossbow arrow sneered and raised his right hand.

As if receiving an order, more than a dozen black shadows walked out of the shadows of the atrium, the bright scimitar exuded a cold aura under the cold moonlight, and the wordless murderous aura permeated the atrium. Stared at by that murderous gaze, Celita felt as cold as falling into an ice cave.

Her instincts told her that these people were coming for her......

Although she didn't understand why.

"Stop them!"

At this moment, a coquettish cry sounded, and Emily's right hand stretched out, and at the same time, the crazy vines burrowed out of the garden, like a wriggling python, and instantly entangled the feet of the dozen or so men in black.

"Cut!"

A hint of surprise appeared on his face, but he was not deterred by the sudden change, and the man in black at the head threw out the dagger hidden in his sleeve, and at the same time brandished his scimitar to cut the vines that were wrapped around his ankles.

In the midst of the lightning, Celita turned over and picked up the wooden sword placed under the fountain, and swung it away, only to hear the soft sound of the "bell", and the dagger that had been smashed at Emily flew away.

Frightened by this scene, Emily stayed there.

Although she always fights with Yiran, she has never experienced this kind of real knife and gun fighting......

"It's just an apprentice, and he's worthy of being my opponent." The man in black said in an eerie tone, smiling babblingly, and tore open the scroll hidden in his arms, "It seems that I have to show you what real witchcraft is." ”

Witchcraft Scrolls!

Celita was shocked.

Seeing that scroll was torn apart, the dark green poisonous mist that spread out was about to envelop the two of them. Celita, holding the wooden sword in her hand, protected Emily behind her, and at that moment, a scorching wave of air suddenly fell from the sky.

"Flame Bomb!"

With a shout, like an iron fist falling from the sky, the fireball that bombarded the ground exploded like a cannonball. A raging storm of flames swept by, burning the poisonous mist that had not yet condensed in an instant.

A cluster of crimson flames burned in her fingertips, and Iran, who was at the center of the explosion, slowly straightened up. Glancing at the assassins surrounding here, she tilted her head slightly and said to Emily behind her, "I've been looking for you for a long time, what are you doing here?" ”

"Don't worry so much, Yiran, beat them up!" Emily said angrily with a waving of her small fist.

"Long-winded, I'm not your babysitter."

Despite saying this, Yi Ran knew that now was not the time to fight.

The fingertip flames instantly turned into blades, and she held them in her hands.

Unlike Emily, a ghost born on an island that is indisputable, the wasteland under the rule of the Yanlong Group is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones. After the death of the army, the special reaction force that died at her hands was so numerous that it could not be counted on two hands.

There were just a dozen assassins armed with cold weapons, and she didn't pay attention to them at all.

"Are you going to go together, or are you going to die one by one?" The corners of his mouth opened a hint of arrogance, the flame blade in his hand danced a sword flower, and the battle intent in his purple pupils soared, "Or do you want me to give all of you a good time at once?" ”

The commotion in the atrium had already alarmed the castle's guards, and dense footsteps were rushing from the direction of the outer corridors.

The operation has taken a turn of events.

The Royal Guard, along with two apprentice wizards, and the wizard himself, who was likely already on his way, had lost the last chance of victory. Even if it is to fight for your life, it is just a meaningless sacrifice, it is better to find another opportunity.

Glancing hatefully at the little girl half-elf behind Cilita, as well as the wizard apprentice who was manipulating the flames, the man in black at the head gritted his teeth and immediately ordered.

"Withdraw!"

Almost as soon as he received the order, more than a dozen black shadows rushed towards the shadow of the wall, without even the slightest hesitation, and quickly left the battlefield.

Seeing this scene, Yi Ran was slightly stunned.

She really didn't expect these people to be so undisciplined.

Before she could get serious, they withdrew.

At this time, the royal family's guards finally arrived.

Soldiers in silver armor rushed in with swords in their hands, followed by crossbowmen with bows and crossbows, and in less than half a minute, the entire atrium was completely drained. Seeing the Guards arrive, Celita finally breathed a sigh of relief and threw away the wooden sword in her hand.

Seeing Jiang Feng next to the captain of the guard, Emily ducked behind Cilita, carefully observing the expression on his face. Although she had sulked with him for so long before, she was really more afraid that Jiang Feng would be angry with her.

Chasing him to the corner, looking at the black shadow that had disappeared into the wall, the captain of the guards withdrew his sword from its scabbard and said hatefully.

"Damn, let them run!"

After confirming that Emily was not injured, Jiang Feng looked away from her, looked at the wall that was more than ten meters high, and said softly, "Don't worry, they can't run away." ”

By the time he said this, the silver metal ball had already chased after him.

At this moment, in the pupil of his right eye, a bird's-eye image of the entire castle is reflected.

With the help of the "eyes" of Ghost One, Jiang Feng quickly locked on to a heat source that had just crossed the moat and was running towards the nearby street.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile.

"Prepare a carriage for me, I'm going to go out."

Leaving these words, Jiang Feng turned around and walked out of the atrium.
