"If you know what's good for you......" The barrel waist mage was more concerned about the Xu family's white-clothed mage's house than Gwen and Mina. Her companions are also preparing attack spells, their mana and spells loaded in front.

"I... I won't give you my core!" Gwen tried to emulate Mina. Her performance was so wooden, so unnatural, that the effect was immediately broken.

"You're testing my patience, princess," the shapeshifter glared at her, thinking the dungeon had terrified Gwen. "Empty your ring, no-"

Gwen felt great relief that the swamp had finally opened its stomach and swallowed their attackers wholesale. A spontaneous guessing game caused her to have a nervous breakdown. Four of the Teleporter's companions, loading spells, were similarly taken away by the swamp's sucking.

An eerie silence enveloped the clearing, and then suddenly, a vibrant shield of four different elements appeared. The Xu family was in battle formation, and except for their leader, they showed expressions of disbelief.

"Governor Huang, is that you?" the head of the Xu family suddenly announced out of nowhere.

"Yo!" Richard appeared a few meters away. "Since you mentioned it, your face is indeed familiar. ”

"Governor! It's you, Julian, do you remember me?" the mage named Julian seemed more excited than worried about their suspicious situation. It wasn't until the two shook hands that the tension eased and the shield was withdrawn.

"Julian, my God, it's been two years! How are you?"

"Brother, I'm doing a good job!" Julian turned to his companion. "This is the man I told you, Elder Huang of the Prince's Mansion! A few years ago, he attended the exchange meeting as the governor of the Prince's Sydney team. No one could surpass them that year, remember? ”

The two members muttered yes. The other, Mr. Xu, gasped in surprise and shook Richard's hand with the same reverence.

The two girls looked at the exchange with a little surprise, Gwen even more than Mina.

"Anyway, this is my team, Gan, Felix, Katsura and Taeyun. The girl was the pug member we caught. Her name is Felicity Don. ”

"I still have a few members around. "I'll introduce them later. Richard broke away from the crowd and let Gwen and Mina come closer.

"Mr. Wang is my cousin, and Mr. Wang is my cousin. ”

"It's an honor!"

"Nice to meet you. ”

"Again. ”

"The one from Huaihai Road?"

"It's exactly the same. ”

Mina bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for offering to help us earlier." ”。

"I'm glad you're both safe!" Felicity said in a smooth and uninterrupted tone, indicating that she was speaking English. She turned to put on her heeled boots and faced Richard, smacking down her own thick eyelashes. "Senior Richard, it's a pleasure to meet you. Can I ask what's wrong?"

"You'll know the answer soon, darling," Richard quipped, his clever eyes sparkling. An unsuspecting girl might fantasize that the young man is flirting with them, but Gwen and Mina know that Richard might be thinking about crystals and the CCs system. Felicity took the false hint and slowly approached Richard, legs crossed, one after the other, showing off their shapely figures.

Mina smiled coldly and pushed Gwen to Richard's side.

Dressed in hiking boots and standing at 6-foot-2, Gwen's hips start at the Asian girl's navel and her legs extend down for even more impressive, gratuitously gorgeous.

When Gwen wordlessly met Richard's eyes, Felicity's face was pale and full of admiration.

Watching the miniskirt girl wither like an orchid she had stepped on, Mina felt a cold sense of satisfaction. She walked between Gwen and Richard and pulled them both closer together.

"It's always nice to meet nice people in a dungeon," Mina sang in her innocent voice, so sweet and full of exciting promises. "Richard, is it time?"

"Wait another minute," Richard replied nonchalantly. "So, how are you doing so far?"

"No problem," Julian began their tirade about their merits from entering the dungeon. Felicity had a little conversation with the girls, hoping to get a better understanding of who they were. "What are you going to do with these mages, though? Surely you didn't want to kill them? I mean, it's part of the exam, isn't it? Don't take it so seriously. ”

"See for yourself. Richard gestured with his hand. "Leah, lift them up!"

The barrel-waisted mage was in an oversized bag of brown liquid, his face tingling a suffocating blue. As she landed on the soft peat in a stream of brown water, she let out a gushing, animalistic stream of salty water from her lips.

A small group of mages looked sympathetically at the arrogant moltler. Transformers can be trained to breathe in water, but spells take time to Inca and also time to manifest. To be trapped in a water prison and negate the life-saving spells needed in the air, a wonderful dilemma must be created.

"I... I confiscated it!" the mage said weakly. "Please, don't do it again. ”

"My good woman, what's in your ring, your ring is a good choice—

"Stone explosion!"

A strong earth mana erupted from the transformer's outstretched hand, forming a signal that evoked the signal. The tormented mage had been holding the spell since she was trapped, as the second long spell of the third-tier spell was completed in an instant.

The sudden change, especially after the confiscation, was completely unexpected and caught Gwen's party off guard.

Leah was the first to react - her twitch reflex was a near-momentary tuning spirit, forming a water shield half a meter away from Richard.

Unfortunately, in the violent attack of the earth element, the glittering membrane of the shield on the water is weak. The stone projectile broke through the transparent barrier and shot upwards at Richard and the members of the Xu family.

This is a mistake made by arrogance. The gathered people thought that the mage was just a transformer. No one doubted that she would also become a Level 3 Evoker, or that the Evoke might be her elementary school of magic.

Mina's training caused her body to react reflexively. A blooming light empowered by positive energy and pure mana enveloped Richard.

However, Gwen never received formal plea training. Seeing that Richard was about to plunge into a jagged world, she held out a hand to the mage and said the first thing that came to her mind. This is the philosophy of Alexia;

"Hollow bolts!"

A sword of dark matter slices through the air, piercing the shapeshifter's stone shield. She had been preoccupied with keeping the stone exploding and expecting serious damage.

But she didn't expect a void arrow on her face.

There was no sound, no spectacular show of any kind, and the empty lightning engulfed her head, leaving only two braids fluttering on the soaked ground.

Above them, the stone ashes of the explosion dissipated into vague particles of mana.

The headless mage remained motionless on the ground for a moment, then a stream of arterial blood gushed out from the horizontal cross-section of the stump of her neck, soaking the peat swamp, a stream of crimson blood shooting out with every faint pulse of the failing heart.

Gwen stared at her handicraft as a tingling chill crept up her spine like the silver of magic frost.

She's dead!'s heart screaming. I just brutally murdered a woman!

She suddenly felt numb, as if she had crossed a threshold. That shapeshifter wasn't the one who had caused her serious harm, she was just someone she had known less than five minutes ago! a careless bully and greedy guts! Now she was a headless corpse, bleeding from the floor! Just a split second before, this was a deceitful, conniving, conspiratorial person, perfectly rational and capable of learning and changing! Now she had taken it all away from this woman, this female mage. Now she's just a bag of dead meat on the floor! she's not just stolen this mage's life! she's given her all the potential that her humanity brings to the world! what if

"Gwen!"

"Gwen!"

"Cousin!"

The sound of shouting at Gwen seemed to pull her back from the abyss of her own creation. Gwen turned around and saw her companions, who had run out of the activity quarters and shouted at her.

"I'm ......" Gwen wanted to say she was okay, but she wasn't like that. She staggered backwards and had to be caught by Petra, who held her tightly. Gwen's heart pounded like a rabbit in a bag, but Petra's heart was not touched by excessive emotions.

"Good, she deserves it," Petra praised Gwen, her voice calm and composed. "Well done. ”

"yes, that bitch brought it on herself, man. I saw it in the video!" Tao added, shaking the machine confidently. "It's so cold! Seal that bitch like a dog!"

"Momoko, shut up, you can't help. "Gwen, please don't feel bad about doing what is necessary," Mina added. "Richard may have been injured. ”

Gwen felt her stomach churn. She wanted to throw up. Mina has covered Richard. They have a healer. In the worst-case scenario, Richard will need some minor treatment, but it is likely that he will be completely unscathed. If they could cut through the swamp and cut off these sinful men and women, they would surely have repelled at least a dozen men who tried to ambush them by now.

"I ...... I...... I ......" Gwen tried to catch her breath. She killed a woman for no reason. A mage lost her life because Gwen couldn't control her horse.

Then a hand grabbed her wrist and pulled her away from Petra.

Gwen turned around and saw Richard's dark eyes staring at her dilated hazel iris.

"Richard, I didn't mean ...... I...... I ......" her mind was filled with chaotic emotions and unsolicited thoughts. She has only been in Shanghai for 6 days, and she is already a murderer.

"Gwen!" Richard massaged her hands.

"I didn't mean—"

'Dad!'

To everyone's surprise, Richard slapped Gwen in the face, though not with malicious intent.

Gwen felt her anarchist thoughts stop immediately. As her eyes sparkled with electricity and emeralds, a flush of anger and confusion replaced her boundless remorse.

"Gwen. Richard grabbed both of her wrists and immobilized her. "Thank you for saving my life. ”

"But ......"

"Gwen. Richard's voice was like a thunderclap, and his wicked grip scratched her tender, white wrists. "You saved my life. ”

Gwen struggled for a moment, hazel eyes filled with malice. Slowly, she felt the adrenaline drain that brought her fanatical mind back to its senses.

"It's necessary. "Gwen tried to self-medicate, and now the chemical hysteria in the blood is over.

Her eyes fell on the corpse. From inside came the sighs and whispers of gases escaping as organs lost their vitality, fluids were lost. From the stomach to the spleen, the ruined human locomotive closed its valves for the last time and became dead. The meat, as it is, trembles quietly.

A silver spell appeared not far from them. Magistrate Master Hao appeared next to them.

"Mr. Huang, I told you that if you persist, trouble will come to you," the old mage roared.

"I'll take full responsibility," Richard said without any panic or remorse. "If you need a copy, Mr. Wang has all the information, and I believe we have the right to defend ourselves to the best of our ability. ”

"I will, I'll be the referee!" the judge turned to Gwen. "Void Mage. It's been a while. How long have they been hiding you?"

"That's something that needs to be known," Petra interjected before Gwen could answer. "Please talk to my grandmother, Director Song of the Second Hospital of the People's Liberation Army. ”

Julian stepped forward and said, "I want to submit the record, and the Xu family fully supports Huang Lao and Ms. Song." ”。

Mina added: "My father was with Villeroy and Wu's. ”。 "If you would like to ask Richard or Gwen, I recommend that you make a formal application through our arbitration lawyer, Wen Xin Hu. ”

Mr. Hao suddenly felt that his head was twice as swollen.

Mao, I hate my job. He thought to himself. Thank you, Chair, at least no one died.

He ignored the threat of the junior mage and instead focused on his work. He made a recording device hovering over one hand and extracted a copy from Tao's recording.

"Retaliation in defense. Bai Mingshui, a detached house in Lishui, was illegally beaten after it was confiscated. Single spell decapitation death, void arrows. Dead on arrival. Date: Sunday, 13 April 2003. ”

He turned to meet the harsh stares of the junior magicians.

"Goodbye. Try not to kill other people. ”

The referee disappeared in a flood of magical power.

"Wait!" Richard watched as the old mage vanished. And four more!"

The judge is gone.

As Gwen was still depressed, the afternoon had lost its joyful and relaxed atmosphere. Richard summoned the other four prisoners, took their crystals and swag, and packed them into the distance.

After the matter was settled, Petra, Tao, and Fei introduced themselves, and Richard accepted Julian's offer of assistance and cooperation. Both parties confirmed the potential spoils of war from the giant Jira, and then the members wavered over the agreement.

Petra asks members of their new Enlargement Party to submit some useful practical mantras to support her cause. Stunned by her amazing beauty, the men eagerly agreed, while their female companion, Felicity, sulked.

Gwen sat on a rock, glancing at the corpse from time to time. She became distraught, and Richard chose to simply "disappear" the body.

When the daylight begins to lose its luster, the group begins to play their respective roles. Gwen provided the food, and the Union took full advantage of the facilities provided by the portable habitat. With the help of the girl Felicity, a serving of steaming noodles and mixed vegetables for eleven people makes a satisfying dinner.

As dinner began, Gwen was surrounded by grunts and sipping. Her eyes glanced at the place where Master Lishui had died, where only a small patch of blood remained.

The former teleporter's storage ring contained a vast array of loot, from alien plants to the cores of small creatures to alien metal fragments that shimmered with an unknowable fire. This is a testament to her greed.

"Death is an abomination," Gwen muttered to herself when people were unprepared not to look for it. ”

She stared at her white hands, wondering if she could see the blood. At least not in the Void. She was a murderous tool and left no story behind. Will all the perfumes in Arabia make her little hands sweet again?

Gwen closed her eyes to rest and saw the faceless' distorted, formless gesture mocking her hypocrisy.

"I told you we were alike! Gwen Song. We'll be together. One-way. Or another. ”

Gwen suppressed the pain in her stomach. Her grandmother's words hung in the air.

"There will be no breaks. There is no solace, even when you're exhausted, bloody, and just want to sleep. With your talent, your blood, you will be a beacon, a place for Rakesh, jealousy, anger and lust. Can you understand?"

"You are on the path of violent reckoning!"

Gwen closed her eyes again, dispelling the darkness. She looped Amurji's mana through her cycle, then inhaled, causing her lungs to swell to the point of bursting, and then exhaled. She repeated the meditation practice until her brain went into a calm, introspective state again.

Her companions were waiting for her. There's a Jira to be killed.

As the old saying goes: the things to come, always come, everything is ready.
