In the early hours of the morning, Erica sneaked out of the hotel.

She didn't know that the Welsh Magic Society Advance Team had returned a few hours earlier, and she had only one thought now, and that was to find an opportunity to assassinate the messenger of the Divine Beast, which, no matter how powerful, was always a self-conscious prop, or rather a captive domestic animal.

Before that, she had thought about it all night, and finally figured it out.

Since Ling Yi planned to play a game of borrowing a knife to kill people + sit on the shore and watch the fire + fish in troubled waters + catch them all, and she couldn't change Ling Yi's will by herself, she had to try her best to destroy Ling Yi's plan.

"In that direction, Cardiff Castle?" Erica leaned against the cold walls of the alley, and when she looked out, the pendulum necklace in her hand swayed, and if you looked closely, you could see that the front of the necklace was always facing a certain direction.

At five o'clock in the morning, half of the street was out of sight, most of the street lamps on both sides were damaged, and a gust of night wind carried up a few old newspapers and plastic bags covered with black footprints.

To be honest, if you change a timid person standing here, I'm afraid that you will be scared by this atmosphere.

It is said that before the sun rises, there is a period of time when it is the darkest.

There is indeed a scientific basis for this claim.

But what if the rays of the sun and the moon were obscured by the sleeping 'sangling zài' in the heavens?

Yes, it doesn't matter at all, it doesn't matter if it's five o'clock, it's so dark and boundless, if the street lights go out, it's normal to reach out and not see your fingers.

Although Erica is not affected by the dim environment, she cannot stand the convenience that the environment brings to the trap.

Cardiff Castle is built on a hillside on the edge of the city. Transportation is well developed. There are several roads leading to the castle, including a sidewalk for citizens to walk in the evening, and the surrounding greenery is lush and green, although it does not have the earthy fragrance of the mountains, but it is really refreshing and pleasing to the eye.

Of course, this is before.

Now it brings people only endless trouble.

Erica hated the messenger so much, even the almost lost phenomenal alchemy, such a large swamp appeared out of thin air, and if it weren't for her flying skills, those 'naughty' demon fish would have bitten off her legs.

"If only Lily were here." Erica suddenly misses the weak old friend who was often bullied by her. Although there is no distinction between the two of them. But when it comes to the art of flying, Lily is definitely a master.

The figure as light as a falcon, at least at this moment, she was quite envious.

"I've had enough."

Unfamiliar voices rang out without warning.

Shout!

The next moment. Sparks and sword light intertwined.

I don't know when. He already has a sword in his hand.

Erica's reaction was staggering. The cross-dressing was completed in just an instant, and the red and black shawl was paired with a close-fitting black off-the-shoulder shirt and black leather pants, making the whole person look heroic.

"Although the method of sneak attack is a bit inferior. But for the sake of such a warm reception, how much to say thank you, but with a sword, I hope you don't mind. Erica was still so polite and straightforward in her tone, but also, a sneak attack could make her lose her bearings.

Looking around, there are only flickering street lights and empty roads except for the swamp that stretches as far as the eye can see.

Think back to the voice you spoke.

It's good to judge that it's a man, but it's hard to say how old you are, because it's too low and hoarse.

"Hehe, I won't pay too much attention to the clown who is about to die, welcome to the tomb, may you rest in peace."

The unfamiliar male voice sounded again, and it was impossible to tell which direction it was coming from.

But it doesn't matter, what matters is the hidden meaning of this sentence.

Erica didn't think the other party was joking, and suddenly her heart moved, her eyes swept over her feet, and she quickly found what had just attacked her, she bent down to pick it up, put it in her palm and looked at it carefully.

"Huh, this is a bone?"

The moment I came to my conclusion, several images flashed through my mind.

Although she didn't see it very clearly, she was particularly impressed because it happened not long ago.

Erica jerked her head up at the swamp, and a chill rose in her heart.

This bone belongs to those devil fish.

In other words-

Before she could react, she heard a pop, and a slimy arm stretched out of the swamp, barely able to make out the shape of five fingers, but between the fingers there was a thin membrane, reminiscent of a frog's claws.

Smack.

Not only broke the silence, but also woke Erica up.

"It's a monster again."

There should have been little surprise.

Erica pursed her lips and watched silently as her arm flapped against the concrete floor, as if looking for something to grab and crawl out of the swamp.

She was thinking about whether to cut off the arm when things changed.

Similar arms sprang out of the swamp one after another, and then approached the 'shore'.

The owner of the arm that appeared first had crawled out of the swamp

Erica took a deep breath, and it seemed that she was ready for a hard battle, glancing at the outline of the castle in the distance, not knowing if she would be able to reach the gate at dawn.

*******************

The room was silent.

Although it was almost dawn, there was no sleepiness on everyone's faces, and their brows were tightly locked.

It is rare that the high-ranking government officials do not yawn, but only sigh vigorously, these days they are tossed so haggard, but they are not physically active, even if they lie in bed, it is difficult to sleep.

"The swamps of Prague would actually use this as a trap, but I have to say that this one is indeed more suitable for defending castles than enchantments." Bing Nan held his forehead and thought with a headache.

Tonight's action was planned by him for the purpose of temptation.

Whether he can kill the other party is secondary, and he doesn't expect this rabble to have that strength.

But the situation is tricky.

They made it clear that they were defending the castle, and they had nothing to do.

"Sir Excellency, I don't know what you think."

Perhaps impatient, someone suddenly asked.

In an instant, everyone's eyes focused on the ice man.

He almost didn't vomit blood to the ice man, if he had a way, he would still have to hide it?

"Although this operation was not very successful, I can preliminarily conclude that the enemy intends to delay time, otherwise what awaits us is not the swamp of Alchemy Lane in Prague, but countless demonic beasts and enchantments." The ice man pondered for a while and said his opinion.

"Aren't there enough monsters in the swamp?" Someone couldn't help but stare at him with the eyes of an idiot.

Andrei seemed to think of something, looked thoughtful, but sat there without saying a word playing the wooden man.

"Don't misinterpret me. The reason why that swamp is difficult to deal with is because it is a barrier and not a trap, and the magical beasts that can only operate in the swamp, even if there are more? So I think the other side is trying to stall for time. ”

"Then why not fence off the castle with a swamp? From the topography, it is obviously more favorable. ”

"Could it be that there are other pitfalls?"

“”

A cold wind blew, and the room fell silent again.

Everyone's faces turned a little pale, and they looked at each other for a while, and then they all looked at Bing Nan again, obviously taking him as the backbone.

Bing Nan shook his head helplessly, he knew why Alec was reluctant to lead the team. This group of people has strength, but their brains are not very useful, and they are always worried about this and afraid of that.

Suddenly, Andrei spoke:

"Actually, we can use the power of the government."

As soon as his words fell, those high-ranking government officials were caught in everyone's attention.

"This, I don't know what Mr. Andre means?"

One of them wiped his cold sweat and smiled reluctantly.

"If it's an ordinary swamp, it's nothing to teach people to be a person directly with incendiary bombs, but that swamp is a certain phenomenon of alchemy creation, in line with the laws of the four elements, if nothing else, it can instantly generate a new ecosystem, what kind of monsters will be generated, even the creator himself can't predict it, not to mention the quantity. Also, I think there are new traps behind the swamp, but it's better than the swamp, so we can fly over the swamp by transport helicopter, and the traps behind will be talked about later, and the landing point is guaranteed anyway. "Andrei is justified and convincing, and although the word 'incendiary' comes out of his mouth with a sense of disobedience, in the end, it is much better than at the moment.
