Fern watched in shock as the figure in the halo gradually became clearer, and then he realized that there was also a halo behind him, he looked back, only to see two other shadows appear next to the dark cloud, which was not the shape of a human being, but very similar to the dark cloud on the side. Fern understood, it was two horses, connected to the two figures in front of them, and it must be their mounts.

The halo gradually dimmed, and Fern could see the shadows clearly, it was indeed two people, and it was a woman, and one of the slightly shorter backs was very familiar to him. Both turned their backs to Fern, and everyone in front of them grew their mouths in shock, Hyshuin's eyes widened first and then their faces were occupied by anger. "Adeline!"

The Great Sage exhaled with difficulty, and stood dignified with his right hand on the staff. "It seems that we came at the right time, but I didn't expect to run into you here, Haysuiin. ”

"You know I'm not dead?" said Heshuin looked straight at Adeline. "I thought you had forgotten about me. ”

"Worel told me a long time ago, and I didn't believe it at first. Adeline glanced at the demons around her. "Look at you, Hyshuin, look at you now, where the once mighty swordsman has gone, the master of Ganimede, who was supposed to be the vanguard of the resistance to the Dark Lord, is now his puppet. ”

"Shut up! You're not qualified to talk to me about that. Heshuin jerked out his sword and pointed it at Adeline. "If you hadn't stopped us from saving Vorelle, she wouldn't have died, no! ”

"Wake up, Hayshuin, there is no other choice in the situation. Barred was writhing, and it took a lot of effort for the two demons holding him to stop. "Look at the sword in your hand, Ganimed, this is not the result it wants. ”

Hesius laughed coldly. "Doesn't it mean that it approves of my approach, and that it must want to follow me and send you to hell. ”

"You're wrong, Hysus. Adeline glared at Hayshuin gravely. "The reason why Ganimet has not abandoned you until now is not because it thinks you are right, but because it still wants to save you. ”

"Don't lie to me again, Adeline, ever since I lost Volel, I've sworn that I'm going to take your life!" Haysine stabbed his sword forward with all his might.

Another burst of dazzling light came from the staff, this time turning golden, and Hysyune's sword was a human distance from Adeline, and the light caused him to fall to his knees in agony, and the sword in the stone fell to the ground. "Give up, Hysiuin, you've become a demon, and you won't be able to defeat me. ”

The light dissipated, and Hai Xiuyin picked up his sword and slowly stood up. "And what if I tie you up first and then kill you?" he said, glancing at a demon beside him, and a horn appeared in the demon's hand at some point, and then the horn was blown and a deep voice spread like a wave.

Several black-robed mages slowly emerged from the ruins, and in the woods behind Fern, more black-robed mages surrounded their retreat. Fern looked at the mages who were getting closer and closer, and several of them could clearly be seen to be old mages, and he approached Adeline vigilantly. "The situation is not good, how many archmages have you beaten alone?"

"Ten, or more. Adeline said lightly, "But I won't try it unless I have to, and they still have hostages." The Great Sage turned his head to the side and whispered a few words to Rui beside him, and then recited the incantation to himself.

Rui didn't hesitate, quickly chanted the incantation, and Fern was surprised to find that her body was bubbling black breath outward, and then he suddenly felt that his surroundings had darkened, and there was obviously a glimmer of light just now, but now it was almost night.

The figures of the three of them were gradually surrounded by a halo of light, and a black-robed mage saw Adeline's intentions and shouted, "Stop her!"

All the mages began casting spells almost at the same time, and countless fireballs, balls of light, and ice arrows were fired at the three people in the halo. Ness and Morena wanted to cast a spell to protect them, but it was still difficult to open their mouths, and Fern subconsciously raised the sword in the stone to his chest, trying to resist the magic from the front.

Surprisingly, all the magic vanished when they were about five yards away from the trio, as if they had been thrown into water, but it didn't make any splashes. "Shadow Shield!" shouted an old mage, "Neutralize the shield with shadow magic!"

Several black-robed mages began to cast shadow magic, but they had no chance, the halo surrounding the three suddenly flashed, and then the light suddenly disappeared, and the three people in the light disappeared along with the three horses on the other side, leaving only air in front of Hyshuin.

In his anger, he plunged his sword into the earth, and the withered hand that held the hilt of the sword was like a dry root. "You can't run away forever, Adeline!"

The improvised wooden rack was erected, and Fern placed the food and kettle on the shelf, and Adeline put her hands close to the wooden rack, and the flames that appeared from the palm of her hand out of thin air scorched the contents of the water, and in less than a minute, the water in the kettle was boiled. Fern poured flower tea for the two ladies and served it to them. "How did you get here, and it's such a magical way to appear. ”

Rui took a sip of hot tea to dispel some of her tiredness, the shadow shield just now was the magic she had cast with almost all her mental power, there were too many magic attacks around, and there were also archmage attacks, she had to use all her strength to resist in a short time. "Manfred and I followed Tempe's army to the Watchgate, where the Great Sage received the ravens flying from the south, describing the situation that made her decide that she had to come to Threndra, and then took me with her. ”

"Southern ravens, who did that?" Fern took a bottle of his own and unscrewed the lid.

Adeline sipped her tea and looked at Fern from behind her teacup. "You didn't ask what kind of letter would have brought us here, but who had released the raven, and you know the dire situation here?"

Fern was very unaccustomed to the way the Great Sage spoke, and not only did he not answer his own question, but he asked himself instead, but he still held back his temper, after all, if Adeline hadn't saved him today, he would definitely not have been able to leave the ruins alive. "Now that things have come to this point, I don't have anything to hide, it was Hay Ward who told me, I believe you should know the name. ”

"That's right, he also released that raven. Adeline put down her teacup and looked at Fern faintly. "He wrote in the letter that you were supposed to be with him, but now that you are separated, and to make matters worse, Ness has fallen into the hands of Hexiuin. ”

"Oh...... This one. Fern hesitated, but said, "I didn't want Ness to do anything dangerous again, so I fled with Ness, only to be captured by Haysin at Cape Storm." ”

Adeline snorted softly. "I guess it's because of you, and with Ness's character, she won't run away. ”

"So what should we do now?Ness has fallen into the hands of the Twilight Cult, if they get the Holy Seal again, wouldn't they be able to release the Dark Lord?" Rui looked at Adeline in a panic.

Fern glanced at the pannier hanging from the clouds. "Even if they get the Holy Seal, they probably won't do it, because the Holy Artifact is still with me, and they are also afraid of the Dark Lord, so they will definitely keep a hand. ”

"Why, are they not the puppets of the Dark Lord?" asked Rui, puzzled.

Adeline glanced at the clouds unobtrusively. "Fern is right, the leader of the Twilight Cult is none other than Aloisius, one of the five great sages, and there is no doubt that he is a smart man who will definitely take all situations into account, including the abandonment of them by the Dark Lord. ”

"Very well, Fern, you must take care of the Hallows. Rui breathed a long sigh of relief.

"I'm worried about something else. Fern glanced at Adeline, waiting for the Great Sage's gaze to look back at him. "I've always felt that Hai Xiuyin and the Twilight Sect are not in the same boat, they are just using each other. ”

"What do you mean?" Adeline frowned.

Fern took a sip of his wine to ease his nerves. "He didn't have to be afraid of the Dark Lord, because he was a demon himself, so it was entirely possible for him to release the Dark Lord before he could get the Hallows, and from this point on, he would definitely have a conflict with the Twilight Cult. ”

Adeline nodded thoughtfully. "If it's really a last resort, maybe we can stir up a wedge between them. ”

Rui raised his eyebrows and sighed hard. "It's really getting more and more complicated, so is the Holy Seal still in the hands of the mage in the Mage Tower?"

Fern looked at Ray and shrugged. "I'm not sure about that, Stan's team is in charge of finding the Seal, I don't know what happened to them. ”

"In that case, then we should find a way to find Stan and meet them next. "Rui is tired, but his brain is still very flexible.

"You're right, Rui, the three of us are weak, and our opponents are all in groups. Adeline was still expressionless. "I noticed a trace of light magic at the edge of the ruins, presumably Nerfi and the others had entered the ruins and fought inside. ”

Ray and Fern both looked at Adeline, waiting for her next words, and the Great Sage thought for a moment and looked at Ferne. "We need to go into the ruins, where I can feel the magic of the mages and find Stan, maybe the people of the Mage Tower or the Twilight cult, of course. ”

Fern pouted. "Whoever you find, it's better than here. ”
