In the deepest part of the dark sewer, four special forces with a capable temperament suddenly appeared in the sewer.

They all wore special military suits, and the only place on their wrists that was not fully protected was a precision instrument resembling a wristwatch.

As soon as they appeared, they cautiously looked around for any possible anomalies, and looked for Ryker, who had already said he was coming to meet them.

"Lake didn't come to pick us up, something must have happened. Go back and report back?"

One of the GIs, who looked like Europeans, whispered to his teammates, answered in the affirmative, and turned back to the portal, only to be stopped by an unfamiliar voice not far away in his familiar language.

"Don't hurry, I'll explain the situation to Lake. (rusty Chinese English)"

It was only then that they noticed the young man of the yellow race standing ten feet away in a long robe that was not like a word.

Was he there all the time?

Forcibly putting aside the doubts that came to their minds, the four special forces raised the watch-like precision instrument to their chests and operated it with their hands.

[Impossible, how is this possible? This is absolutely impossible!]

Immediately, each watch was displayed on a blue screen like a holographic projection, on which were written in English a number of technical terms and nouns that seemed quite secondary.

"The people who have betrayed Earth, why are you here, Lake?"

"emmm, where am I going to complain...... Forget it, it's Leach's job. 」

"On the 3rd, you go back and report and ask for help, and we will arrest him first and then interrogate him. ”

As he spoke, the captain-like special forces made a gesture to the other people, and after the three of them operated on the blue screen, a dozen or so low-level spells struck from their watches to the happy encounter.

"In Lake's routine, this thing is probably called a tactical power guide. 」

However, Xi Xiangyu did not dodge or let the spell hit, but when a round of spell volleys passed, Xi Xiangyu still stood there unscathed.

The Missionary Mage has a three-month protection period and increases its Spell Resistance to the point where he is immune to most spells.

"The spell is invalid, and it looks like the spells studied on Earth won't work here. Damn, this must be notified to them. ”

"No, no, no, it's just that I have spell resistance, and these spells actually work. But can you calm down first, I have no ill will towards you, otherwise why would I come alone to meet you fellow countrymen?"

Seeing that Xi Xiangyu spread out his hands to indicate that there were no weapons or anything else, the special forces also temporarily stopped continuing to release spells.

"Isn't that great, we're fellow Earthns, so there's no need to hurt each other. 」

"No, according to the testimony of another forerunner, you have betrayed the Earth and the Motherland. So if you're really innocent, we want you to walk with us and explain to the people above why you did what you did. ”

Despite stopping the attack, the trio still aimed their watches at the Joy Encounter, and at the same time used their other hand to adjust on it, trying to replace the spell that was released next to the type of spell that could ignore the spell resistance.

"I don't know what Lake said to you, but I've never betrayed you. 」

After all, I didn't go all the way with you from the beginning, and I silently took this sentence in my heart, and after a pause, I continued to speak.

"It's not too busy for you to attack me or capture me, I think we'll understand each other after a full exchange, and you'll be inclined to cooperate with me. 」

"You didn't give Lake that watch-like magic item to Lake, which means you don't fully trust him. Then you know that what he said is not completely credible, so I will add some of my testimony to you. 」

"Why did you know we didn't give this to Lake?"

The captain of the soldiers immediately noticed something suspicious, it was the latest expensive equipment, which few people knew about, and Lake was not among them.

"I haven't seen him use it. First of all, welcome to Golantia, the world where I have had all kinds of fantastic experiences during these four years. To be honest, I envy you, I think I walked through the portal with only my body, and it took me hours to find some shelter. 」

「...... I guess this is the product of magic technology that you created by analyzing the Golantian magic books that Ryker sent me by a supercomputer, Soul Binding?"

Corantia is a magical world, and magic is knowable.

Mages are one of the users of magic, and their most important ability to learn magic is intelligence.

Intelligence here refers to the ability to think logically, and who in this world can compare to a supercomputer?

The power of a mage is gained by summing up experience, studying the rules, and learning knowledge.

It takes years, years, decades for people to go through this process.

For mages who can only think with their own brains, learning spells is an extreme matter of time and money.

Therefore, the long-lived elves are the most ideal candidates for mages.

However, the ability to think logically, time, and experimentation (money) can all be compensated for by supercomputers.

"It's really fast, it's only been a few years, and you've already made this weird black technology...... But I don't seem to be qualified to talk about you as an intuitive spellcaster. 」

"Don't change the subject, you should explain your actions instead of lamenting these things. ”

"Okay, okay. I was twelve years old when I was discovered by the state, and fourteen years old when I came to Corantia. Even with special training, I was still a fragile child, and I had no ability to survive on my own. 」

"You're asking too much of me, and I can't do it. As soon as I arrived, I was left on the streets, and if I hadn't been rescued, I might have been enslaved or simply died on the streets. 」

What the happy encounter said is the truth, coupled with his excellent acting skills, the cruel experience of a wronged minor is vividly expressed.

"But fortunately, I was rescued, and then because of my special talent, I was sent to the Traveling Scholars Academy in the far Arctic. I studied hard to be independent, and I didn't get my mage diploma from the Creation Department until a few months ago, and then I came in a hurry. 」

"I hope you don't waste your time telling these lies, knowing that our people are asking for help and will be back soon, and you better make us believe you before then. ”

According to Lake's report, the big things that Xi Xiang has done in the past four years or so are one after another, and no one will believe his obvious lie that "doing everything is just studying honestly" at the moment.

"Okay...... In fact, during several of these holidays, I met with Lake many times and even joined his guerrilla association. 」

The real lie has just begun.
