The goal of the operation, led by Mr. Harvey, is to rescue Ginny and the referees who had disappeared before, and to find a way to kill the thing hiding in the arena, or at least find out what it is and what its weaknesses are. Fire and Literature? ??? ．?ｒ ａ ｎ?ｅｎ`ｏｒｇ

However, Luo Luo soon noticed that the direction of the team seemed to have deviated from the route they had taken to the inner city, and after walking half a mile, the girl finally couldn't help but remind the latter, "Mr. Harvey, our direction doesn't seem to be right. ”

The third-order mage shook his head, "No matter what that thing is, it is very mobile, it has a wide range of hunting, and it doesn't stay in one place for too long after hunting, remember the corpses of those demonic beasts I mentioned earlier? They are almost scattered everywhere in the outer city. ”

As he spoke, Mr. Harvey took out a map from his body, which was marked with seven red crosses, and he pointed to those red crosses and said, "These are places where demonic beasts have died. ”

Then he drew a circle with the seven red crosses as the boundary, and he marked a question mark in the center of the circle.

"Thankfully, all I've found so far is the corpses of the Monsters, so I'm inclined to assume that the staff of the Judges Committee and Ginny aren't in danger of their lives for the time being, and although I don't know why the thing chose to kill the Monster and leave a human alive, that's good news for us. ”

"Because it also means that this guy's behavior pattern is not exactly hunting, but there should be a nest, and those who are missing are likely to be hidden in their own lair, so as long as we find its lair, we can rescue Ginny and them, and if we can sneak in without being detected by it, it can also greatly increase the chance of killing it, which is why I don't want to take too many people. ”

"Do you think that thing's lair is in this area, but this area looks so big that we can search it with our men?" Lolo asked another question.

"Don't worry, I've been tracking it for a long time, and I've actually ruled out some of the surrounding areas, and there are some areas that are less likely to be put in the back, so if it goes well this time, maybe it won't take us two days to find the thing's lair, and then we can get all the missing people back. ”

Mr. Harvey's words also brought a lot of confidence to everyone, and eliminated the tense atmosphere in the team, especially after hearing that the thing only attacked the monster and left human lives, the fear in everyone's hearts was also alleviated a lot, and everyone ran towards the area marked with the question mark on the map.

............

There were no customers at the bakery in the afternoon, and Claire, as usual, was attentive to preparing the ingredients needed to bake the bread, and she sat on her favorite soft chair with an old wool scarf, peeling a pot of pineapples she had just bought from the market.

However, when she was halfway down, she suddenly felt a strong crisis in her heart, the old man did not hesitate, and stretched out his hand at the first time, and hid her staff under the counter less than half a step away from her, her fingers were only a little close to reaching the staff, but the next moment she was already in a white space.

"Is that you?" Claire saw the face of the man opposite, and a look of surprise flashed in her usually calm eyes, "Which force are you from?"

The man shook his head, "I'm not from any force, but if you're referring to partnerships, my chosen partner is the Inquisition. ”

"So you're the most mysterious arc in the Inquisition, no wonder we haven't been able to find you. Claire suddenly said, "We all had a preconceived idea that Arclight was an outsider like the gang of people who were killed behind the museum, but we didn't expect that you had already entered Siamus three years ago, so it was no accident that you and Foreman met eighteen years ago." ”

"No, until I heard that story, I was just an ordinary magician in the city of Guderis. The man said slowly.

"What's the story?" the old man raised an eyebrow.

However, this time the man didn't speak in a hurry, and glanced at Claire on the soft chair opposite with deep meaning, "It's still early, I know you have a lot of things to ask me, and I happen to have something to ask you for, so I don't mind chatting with you, but only if we can both be honest." ”

"Oh, what's the truth?"

"For example...... Do you want to get rid of the knife hidden under the mat?" the man said lightly.

"It turns out that a dignified would-be magister would also be afraid of a fruit knife. Claire sneered, but her heart sank completely, the knife was her last thing to rely on, and the last thing she could do when she realized she was in a trap was to shove it under her cushion.

Magician is the most powerful profession on the Dawn Road, but at the same time, the magician's body is also the weakest, so weak that even a knife can hurt them, if the other party gets carried away and thinks that he has mastered the cut, then Claire can use this knife to teach the other party a good lesson.

But now it seems that the other party does not intend to give her this opportunity.

"The predecessors of the Thunder Shield are famous, so I naturally don't dare to take it lightly. ”

Hearing the words Thunder Shield, the old man was obviously stunned, and his eyes also showed a bit of remembrance, "After so many years, there are still people who remember this name, but it's a pity that I'm no longer a Magister, otherwise I wouldn't have fallen into your trap." ”

"If you hadn't gone through that major injury and were still in your heyday, I wouldn't have dared to get an axe in front of you. The man bowed and said politely.

"You don't have to be too modest, Foreman said that his attainments in the formation made him breathtaking, and no one in the world who can surpass you in the formation will have more than two hands, and it is the first time I have seen this kind of trap-type teleportation array, and I still don't know when this teleportation array was set up until now. ”

"The bread in your shop is delicious, and after learning the identity of my seniors, I will also go for a cup of afternoon tea when I have time, this formation is very complicated, and at the same time, I have to hide from your attention, so I carved it for two months. The man didn't hide it, and then added, "Of course, it's all when you're away." ”

"I see, this is indeed a very powerful magic array. Claire nodded, "But I still don't understand why you want to join the Inquisition, and with your current status and status, what can you be given over there?"

"I did not take refuge in the Inquisition. The man emphasized this point again, "I only have a cooperative relationship with those madmen, in fact, I have also approached those nobles in the south before, but unfortunately they lack the minimum sincerity in the matter of cooperation, and there are some differences between our two sides on the means that may need to be used in the future, so in the end I found the Inquisition, but strictly speaking, I and the Inquisition have different purposes, but fortunately, there is no conflict, and we can respect and understand each other, which is also the basis for our two sides to cooperate." ”

"Let's go back to that story, to be honest, when I first heard that story, I had the same reaction as most people, thinking that kind of thing was completely nonsense, because every magician knows very well that there is no magic related to life in this world, this field is still blank so far, the mystery of life is an incomparably clear dividing line between gods and mortals, although magic is known as the most powerful force in the Dawn Continent, but after all, it is only created by mortals, how can it be beyond that barrier？”

"What's more, according to that story, the greatest magician in human history, Roland, the founder of the magic system, turned out to be just an apprentice, a thief, shamelessly stole something that originally belonged to another person, and that person is the origin of everything. ”
