Chapter 16: Absconding

Riya was picking edible mushrooms in the forest when she suddenly noticed a powerful magic force in the distance.

"What the hell is going on?" said Lia, looking in the direction of the magic. "Is it?" she ignored the many unpicked mushrooms and hurried back to camp.

"Leon, Vetel!" said Lia, returning to the camp and shouting into the tent, but receiving no response, her inner uneasiness intensified.

"Leon, Wittel, where are you, answer me!"

Sensing no one else's scent nearby, Liya rushed straight into the tent, but was stunned by what she saw.

There were various items scattered around the tent, and from the direction of the scattered items, it could be seen that Leon and Wittelle should have escaped. There was no blood or corpse to be seen, and Liya finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"But that's not the way to go, we have to find them quickly!" Liya thought as she searched for clues, and suddenly a hard object came under her feet. When I picked it up, it was an emergency magic prop.

"Leon, don't they even have a chance to activate the emergency magic item? Oh no, we have to hurry!" Ria realized how critical the situation was and ran straight outside the tent and activated the emergency magic item.

I saw that the magic props emitted a faint light, slowly rising into the sky, and finally exploded in the sky. A blinding ball of light appears in mid-air, clearly visible even from a distance.

"Please!" Liya clasped her hands, praying that the academy's rescuers would arrive soon.

At the same time, a man in a gray robe was also rushing in the direction of the magic explosion. Seeing a glare signal in mid-air, he stopped.

"Cut, have you been discovered? With that, the figure disappeared into the forest.

At the edge of the forest, the academy's guard was resting in a clearing.

Suddenly, one of the team members pointed to the sky and shouted, "Captain, look!"

The captain of the garrison team looked in the direction pointed by the team members: "Oh no, it's an emergency signal! Go and inform the dean, and the rest of the people will rush to the place of the incident with me!"

"Yes!"

Dean Kyle Venter and the faculty of the college are enjoying a beautiful morning tea in a makeshift giant tent. Looking at everyone's leisurely appearance, I hope there will be no accidents on this last day.

"Report!"

Suddenly, the guard shouted and broke the leisure.

"What's going on?" Kyle asked, putting away his laid-back look.

"Lord Kyle, an emergency signal has just been sent in the northwest direction of the Dogle Forest! The captain has led the team to the scene of the incident!" the guards didn't care to breathe, and conveyed the message in one breath.

Kyle's expression gradually became solemn: "Teacher Edelman, you and I should rush over first, and the other teachers will be on standby here first." ”

"Alright, Dean Kyle!"

Edman follows Kyle, and the two of them step out of the tent.

"The ubiquitous wind spirit, at the cost of my own magic, I have given me the power to break through the shackles of the earth and soar freely in the sky - the wings of the sky!"

As the magic is finished, a pair of wings made of air appear behind Kyle and Erdman. With the flapping of their wings, the two gradually broke away from the ground, flew into the air, and rushed in the direction of the signal.

It didn't take long for them to fly above their destination.

"Dean Kyle, look!" said Edelman, pointing to the clearing where they had camped in Leon. Then he flew into the clearing.

It turned out that the garrison had already arrived at the scene.

Liya was talking eagerly with the captain of the garrison, presumably explaining the situation.

After listening to Liya's description, the captain ordered the team to disperse and search around the forest.

Seeing Kyle and Edman coming, the captain of the garrison and Ria also greet them.

Kyle breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Liya had no obvious injuries and asked, "Princess Lia, are you alright?"

"Dean Kyle, I'm fine. But Leon and Wittellle are gone, so please think of a way!" begged Lia.

"Well, don't worry, Your Highness Princess, I'll ...... it," Kyle said as if he realized something, and suddenly raised his voice, "What?!Who's missing?!"

"Leon and Vitrelle, I noticed a powerful magic when I was out picking mushrooms. When I got back here, there was no one, the tent was strewn about the ground, someone must have come!" Lia recounted the situation.

"Oops, I didn't expect it to be that guy! Something is wrong!" Kyle's mind raced and he ordered loudly, "Edman, immediately terminate this drill, escort the students back to the city, and mobilize all personnel to participate in the search!"

"Yes, Dean Kyle!"

After the arrangements were made, Kyle turned to the princess and suggested, "Your Royal Highness, you should also hurry back to the city together." If there is any news, I will send someone to inform you immediately. ”

"But......" Liya was a little unwilling.

"Your Royal Highness, please, I can't afford anything to happen to you. Kyle was almost pleading. A half-elf had already made him jump up and down, and another princess really couldn't eat and walked around.

Reluctantly, Lea returned to the academy, but by the evening she had not heard of finding Leon.

"Leon, where the hell have you been?" Lia prayed, hoping that nothing would happen to her, and she was ready to go back to her dorm to rest.

Liya opened the dormitory, and it was pitch black.

As soon as she closed the door, Liya was shocked, and there was a smell of people!

Liya turned around and tried to open the door and run away, but was hugged from the front and covered her mouth tightly.

"Hmm, hmm, hmm!" Liya shook her head desperately, trying to cry out for help.

"Shhhhhh

Liya was suddenly stunned, isn't this voice Leon?

Controlling her panic, Liya carefully looked at the face of the person holding her, and sure enough, it was Leon.

Seeing that Lea had calmed down, Leon slowly let go of his hand.

"Leon, what the hell is going on, where have you gone? Vetel?" asked Lea anxiously, wondering what had happened.

"Listen to me first, we have met the Assassins, and Wittelle is seriously injured, but she is all right now, but she is very weak, please take care of her for a few days. Leon pointed to Lea's bed, on which Vitaliel lay down.

"What assassins, who sent them?" Lea was shocked, she didn't expect them to encounter such a dangerous thing.

"I'm not sure, but I'm sure there's more than one of these assassins! ”

"What are you going to do?"

"Before, we were in the light, they were in the dark, and they couldn't guard against it. For now, I am hiding in the shadows for the time being, creating the illusion that their life and death are uncertain. So, it's time to take care of Vetel. ”

"Why? You can hide me here. ”

"It's just in case. From previous contact, it was confirmed that they were coming for me. If the fact that I am alive is revealed, it will bring danger to you. So, stay here for the time being, and I'm safe where I'm not there. ”

"But ......" Lia still didn't want Leon to leave alone, it was too dangerous.

"Don't worry, it's okay, trust me. And, there's one thing I have to confirm. Leon comforted Lea, who must have been frightened as well.

Seeing that Leon had already said this, Liya couldn't stop it anymore.

"Then, you must promise me to come back safely. Lea hugged Leon tightly, pressing her face against Leon's chest.

"I promise you!"

"Hmm. ”

"I've put Vitrelle's belongings in your closet, and some necessary expenses and so on, you take care of them. So, I'll go first. Leon gradually let go of Ria.

"Are you leaving now?" Liya was still reluctant.

"Well, it's easier to move around at night. With that, Leon picked up his baggage and jumped out of the window.

Lea whispered in the direction of Leon's departure, "Be careful!" and closed the window to check on Wittel's injuries.

Leon took advantage of the night and snuck out of the city.

On the other side, Prince Barron walked anxiously around the quarters.

After a while, Frog slipped in through the door and knelt before Prince Barron.

"What the hell are you going to do? I'm taking a great risk to leave this matter to you. Now in such a situation, I don't even know if the half-elf is alive or dead!If he comes back alive and finds out some clues, we'll all be doomed!" Prince Barron tried to keep his voice down, but he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

"Please rest assured, Prince Barron, I will do my best to deal with this matter. The follow-up personnel have already started to search, whether it is life or death, he will definitely not escape from our palms!" Frog lowered his head and smiled slyly.
