“Tel falas。 ”

While the bandits were battling the Radiant Oath team, Jude chanted a spell and traversed the chaotic battlefield in a flash of light, revealing himself on the other side.

"I'm sorry, I'd love to fight alongside you, but I have more important things to do right now, and I'll get back to explaining it to you. Waving his hand and apologies to Bourne and the others, the boy ran at full speed towards the south without waiting for a response.

With a vague impression, Jude left the street in search of a way to Mexia's house in the southeast of town.

The sights of people locking their doors and windows, not a single pedestrian on the road, and a house on the east side of the road burning and smoke intensified the boy's ominous premonition.

Avoiding another encounter with the Red Turban Brotherhood, Jude manages to bypass the burning building and finally makes it to the southeastern edge of the town.

The familiar hut is located in a wooded clearing in the foothills, and the environment is still as peaceful and natural as when you left in the morning, and there is no sign of banditry activity.

With a sigh of relief, the boy adjusted his mood a little and walked to the front of the house, politely slamming the door.

However, after a long wait, no one answered.

The premonition in his heart was instantly reawakened, and Jude couldn't help but feel anxious, and immediately banged on the door hard, and shouted the girl's name, but still did not get a response.

In this moment, reality seemed to overlap with dreams, and the boy was almost about to follow Roy's example and slam the door on his body, when he suddenly remembered that he was a mage.

Unlike Roy in his dream, Jude reminded himself that he had mastered incredible arcane magic, a mysterious miracle that surpassed reality.

Apply what you have learned, as Nosa said, but such a simple truth is always forgotten. Thinking so, he went out of the window and looked inside through the glass window.

Staring at the target, he whispered a mantra of phase shift, and after the white light flashed in front of him, the boy was already standing on the floor of the room.

This was the bedroom he had been living in when he had been ill, and the décor and furnishings were familiar—he had just left a few hours earlier.

Without further ado, Jude hurried out of the bedroom and began to search for Mejia in the cabin, but after searching all the rooms, he still couldn't see Mejia.

Is he still a step too late after all? The young man looked around with some amazement, the air was still filled with a pleasant fragrance, and the girl's figure seemed to still be faintly visible.

"Thank you very much. If there's anything I can repay......" Jude recalled his words and Mejia's excuse, and he planned to repay the favor when he had the chance, but it all happened so quickly.

The final dream came to the boy's eyes, and he vaguely saw the girl slowly show a familiar smile, her lips moving slightly, as if to thank him.

As the blood-blinding scarlet creep eats away at his mind, Jude struggles to shake off the images of the dreams, barely able to think, and his only thought is to make the robbers pay.

Turning his head to look out the window, the boy cast the phase shift again, and after coming outside, he didn't stop for the moment, and rushed straight towards the burning building he had seen earlier.

The enemy was close at hand, and Jude drew his black sword behind him as he ran at full speed, ready to cast an offensive spell, but he saw no sign of the Red Turban Brotherhood after rounding the corner.

Only a lonely figure stood in front of the burning residence, and seeing the young man rushing towards her, she turned her head to look back, revealing a puzzled look: "...... Sir?"

"Mexia?" Jude was surprised, and he stopped and hurriedly sheathed his sword, looking around in disbelief, "Wait, what about the robbers?"

"Robbers......" The girl's expression became more and more confused, "Are there robbers in town?"

"That's right, they're killing people everywhere and setting fires. Thankfully, it's nice to see you're okay. Feeling fortunate, the young man breathed a sigh of relief, "Mehia, do you know this family?"

"Well, there used to be an old woman living here, and I used to come here to play when I was a kid. Mejia looked a little lost, "My grandmother would tell me a lot of stories and make cookies for me, and this was the happiest place when I was a child......

"What? Is the old woman trapped inside?" Jude regretted that he hadn't learned the spell to protect against the flames, and immediately began to think of ways to save people from entering the burning house.

However, the girl shook her head slightly: "The old grandmother died a few years ago, and then this house has been empty, it's okay, it's just ......"

Looking at Mehia's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, the young man was thoughtful, and the place that carried the happy memories of his childhood was destroyed, and probably anyone would feel sorry.

However, now that the robbers are raging, and it is too dangerous outside, Jude reminded after a moment's consideration: "Don't be too sad, Mexia, it's enough to have good memories, right? It's dangerous outside, and those robbers will appear at some point, so I'll send you home, right?"

-

After returning Mejia to her home on the southeastern edge of the town, the teenager told her to keep her doors and windows closed and stay safe, and then said that he would return to the town.

"Wait a minute, sir," said Jude, who had gone outside the house, when he was stopped by the maiden, "that one, I don't know your name yet?"

"Oh, I'm sorry," the boy remembered that he hadn't introduced himself, "my name is Jude, Jude Temple. ”

"Mr. Jude, well, thank you so much for today. ”

A little favor, and I haven't been able to repay you yet. Jude almost blurted out, but after careful consideration, he changed his words: "You're welcome." Speaking of which, you don't have to call me that, just call me Jude. ”

"Now that there are robbers in town, won't it be dangerous for Mr. Jude to be out alone?" Mejia still used an honorific and was clearly worried about the boy.

"I'm going back to town to join forces with the lord's men to clean up the invaders. Jude felt a little weak when he thought of those sophisticated and mysterious bandits, but he tried to pretend to be relaxed, "Don't worry, I'm a bounty hunter, and it's easy to deal with these rabble." ”

"Is that so, then I'm relieved. Hearing the young man's confident reply, Mejia smiled innocently, as if it coincided with the memory of the dream, which made Jude fascinated for a moment.

When he came back to his senses, the boy just wanted to say goodbye, when suddenly his eyes seemed to sweep something, and he turned his head to the right, where a man with a red mask was standing at the edge of the forest, as if he was observing the two.

Seeing that he had been discovered, the robber immediately turned and left, presumably intending to inform his other accomplices.

The people of the Red Turban Brotherhood, they were really nearby, Jude didn't have time to think about it: "Close the doors and windows, I'll be back soon, and I must not open the door until I come back." ”

After telling the girl, Jude did not stop, and hurried after the fleeing robber in the distance.
