Chapter 12: Fake is true, escape from death

I ignored Cialis's surprised voice, just put away my books and walked slowly back to camp.

"We're camping here today. I said, and began to sort out the freshly smoked food.

Hylis seemed to want to say something, but looking at my expression, she silently began to tidy up the camp and wash the dishes with water magic.

After a night without a word, Cialis came out to say hello to me who was on duty at night, and simply ate something and went on the road. It's actually not far from Storm City, but it still takes more than half a day to get there, and the smoked meat has already been sorted out, so there shouldn't be a shortage of food in a short time. We walked towards Storm City neither fast nor slow, feeling like normal pedestrians except for not speaking all the way.

Although she was not in a hurry, Cialis still felt a heavy pressure, as if something was chasing them. Although he wanted to ask several times, he couldn't ask anything when he saw that although Alan was casual, his expression was obviously a little tense. Hylis knew she wasn't smart, at least much dumber than Alan, and all she could do was look at Alan's face. After the strange thing that happened just now, such a natural rush seems to be the biggest unnaturalness.

When we arrived near Storm City, we just silently followed the team entering the city, paid the entrance fee of five copper coins, and found a tavern to stay in. After entering the room, Alan quickly opened the window a little crack, looked outside, and after a few minutes of observation, collapsed to the ground as if he had been drained of all his strength. At this time, Hylis realized that Allen's back was covered with cold sweat, as if she had just escaped death from the mouth of a beast.

"Young Master, are you alright? Worried, Cialis helped me to the bed and sat down.

"I almost died. I laughed and said, "It was really thrilling just now, and if you made a mistake, it would have been planted in the soil by now."

"Is it because of those three people just now?" Cialis said, as a magician, she could feel the strong pressure brought to her by the middle-aged man and the elderly, it was not simply the coercion of the strong, but the overwhelming difference in strength, like a frog meeting a snake, and even escaping was a luxury.

"At least the seventh order, it's not strange that old man is even the eighth order. I said, against a strong person of this level, as long as you survive, you will make a lot of money, not to mention the extra gains.

"They... Why is there so much hostility towards us. Hylis said hesitantly, from the beginning the behavior of the three people was quite strange, the girl saw their first reaction, not to say hello or simply stay away, but to observe them. This is the interior of the continent, and there is no reason for them to be so cautious... Unless....

"If you were in enemy territory, you would be so cautious in your actions, and you should be so cautious. It's just that the girl didn't assess the strength of our side this time. I opened the bladder and took a big sip of water, feeling much clearer.

"You mean... They're from the Machine Nation, so why don't they kill us, if we go to the city guards at this time, maybe we can catch them. Chillis covered her mouth in surprise.

I smiled wryly and nodded, if my guess was correct, they should be from the Machine Nation.

Outside Storm City, three people were galloping towards the east, a combination of an old man, a middle-aged man and a young girl, walking on the road without attracting the attention of others. But the speed of their gallop and their deeper faces than the natives betray their unusualness.

"Grandpa, why don't you just kill them. The girl pouted and complained coquettishly to the old man, the scar on her face was still faintly painful, which made her even more annoyed, as a man who doesn't pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, it is always necessary to know if he hits someone in the face or not.

"Because it does more harm than good. I shook my legs. In my previous life, I was born in the era of information explosion, and I may not be good at mastering people's hearts, but for some people who have never seen psychology in my life, I can still weigh the pros and cons.

"Wouldn't it be better to do more harm than good? The girl looked at the old man suspiciously, the little strength of these two people and the lack of qualifications to cause them any trouble.

"Of course, it's easy to extinguish the mouth, but the problem is that our identities can't stand up to investigation, and if we arouse the other party's alarm, will we be exposed? Once our identities see the light of day, they won't let us run back, even for the sake of face. The old man said.

"Those two are just civilians, could it be that someone will investigate if they kill them?" said the girl with a frown, not only wearing cheap cloth clothes, no attendants, no guards, and even walking on their feet, no matter how you look at those two people, they don't look like important people.

"Can you be sure? The old man looked at the girl and said seriously.

The girl was about to reply, but found that the words were choked in her throat but could not be spit out.

Can you be sure for yourself?

"They can't be sure. I said confidently.

Man is an animal with a very narrow vision, so it is easy for the average person to make mistakes that seem rather stupid to onlookers. Therefore, before dealing with anything, the most important thing is to understand what you want to achieve, and enlarge your vision, not only from your own perspective, but also from the bystander, from the enemy's perspective to see this matter, that is, to understand your own hand with the enemy, the most important thing in this matter is not what your identity is, but what your identity is most likely in the eyes of the enemy.

"One is a magician of at least the third order, and although that girl is a little immature, she should also be a third order. Being able to reach this level at such a young age is likely to be the result of the tilt of the family's resources, not to mention the black rod in that guy's hand, which is close to sixth-order magic, but it can be used by a third-order magician. How can a person who can possess such a treasure be a civilian. The old man shuddered as he spoke, if he was shot by that thing at close range, he might not be able to retreat with his whole body, how could such a small thing burst out with such speed and lethality.

"So it's very simple, killing us is likely to be traced, and infiltrating an enemy country to collect intelligence is a completely different meaning from infiltrating an enemy country and killing enemy dignitaries. Perhaps this act could have become the trigger for World War II. If I'm correct, they're probably just sneaking in to gather information, which would explain why they came to this remote place, rather than near the big city of Elemental City. I stretched, it wasn't a good experience to fight with someone far superior to me, the feeling of being in someone else's hands was as disgusting as eating a fly.

"But even if that's the case, isn't he afraid that Grandpa will kill them all in a fit of rage?" the girl understood a little, but still couldn't understand why the other party could be so sure. Although killing them will do more harm than good, it is at most the result of weighing, and it is not impossible to deal with the aftermath if you really kill them.

"So that guy has a good grasp of everything from beginning to end, subduing you but not searching your body, not disarming, just Weihe, and even inviting you to eat. Seeing us coming, he neither panicked nor intimidated, but greeted us like a host. I knew our identities but didn't break them, but used this to make a deal with us without any trouble, if it weren't for the fact that he looked like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, I would have thought he was talking to an old fox in his forties and fifties. The old man said, looked at the girl next to him who was still confused, and shook his head. The girl is also a first-class talent in her own country, but people have to die more than others, how can they not compare with that teenager.

"Isn't this a magical foundation you're holding in hand, isn't this stuff all over the streets?"

"The streets are full of people who have strange whereabouts, can't see the light, and even look different, it is estimated that it will be difficult to buy an apple, not to mention this kind of sensitive thing, the old people definitely don't want to cause trouble, and if they want to steal, they may not know who has it, so they can only slaughter the black merchant as I said, of course, in this example, the black merchant is me. I took out the magic mechanics and carefully touched the cover, this is a treasure.

"Poof. Chillis laughed as if she had thought of something.

I squinted at her.

"You are not as sure as you said, along the way, you were obviously nervous to death and specially pretended to be calm, and finally put your mind at ease when you entered the hotel room. Hylis complained, unconsciously amusing herself when she thought of trembling along the way.

"Cialis, you have to know that a fake is a fake, no matter how much we act like the real thing, after all, we can't make people believe it like the real thing, if you can't recognize this, then the day of being clever and killing yourself is not far off. I looked at Cilis earnestly.

"I'll just talk about it. Chillis said embarrassedly.

"If I'm right, they'll sense something isn't right, and they'll probably turn back to observe us, and if we're in a hurry to get to Storm City, they'll certainly not show mercy. I said that it would be a problem for this kind of person who was far superior to me, because I couldn't know what the other person was doing, and I didn't have the ability to resist, so I could only try to be the most perfect.

Cialis exclaimed, as if she didn't expect this gamble to extend to the outside, and she has been separated from death by a single line.

"So we're safe now, right?" There was a moment of silence, and Hylise came and went

"Whew... Whew..."There was a steady breath, and Cylis saw that Alan was already asleep.

"I must be tired. Chillis sat on the edge of the bed and helped Alan cover the quilt, unlike her coarse nervous self, she must have been tense and unable to rest well from yesterday to today.

"Ahh Suddenly, Alan pulled Cialis to his side with a strong hand, firmly held Cialis in his arms, rubbed it on the other hand, and continued to fall asleep peacefully.

Chillis felt a moment of shyness and warmth at the same time, and the masculine aura coming from behind made her feel a little overwhelmed, yet a little familiar.

"Good night. Hylis muttered, moving her body to find a comfortable sleeping position and falling asleep.

"Young man, I have a hunch that this will not be the last time we will see each other. The old man looked in the direction of Storm City and turned back one last time.

"The next time we meet, I must let you taste the power of this girl!" said the girl, who took out something from her arms and shook it demonstratively, it was a silver-white pistol with strange patterns.
