Chapter 143: Assassin
"What's that, I'll see"
As the sky gradually brightened, Ellie also regained her spirits at once. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The little one pounced on the bed and landed on my back like a flying squirrel.
Then he climbed up and sat on my shoulder.
By the way, when did my shoulder become the seat for this little guy?
I don't remember getting used to her problem.
"Giant, it's not interesting"
Elle sat on my shoulder, glanced at the book Liu Xiao was reading, and then said as if she had been swept away.
"Have you read all these books?"
"Humph!"
Ellie slapped her chest.
"I've read them all since I was a kid"
Childhood......
I looked at this little guy sitting on my shoulder.
I don't know if she was pretending to be stupid when she said 'when she was a child' or if she was really when she was a child.
"By the way, Ellie, I've always had a question for you"
"Imp, what's the problem"
"How old are you?"
"Brother, it's rude to ask a lady about numbers related to her body"
"Oooh......"
Liu Xiao didn't raise his head and helped Ai Li answer the question.
Then change the question.
"What did this house come from?"
"Hmph, literally, the house I lived in when I was a kid"
I see, no wonder Elle would say that she had read these books since she was a child.
"So now, are you living in the royal city?"
"Well, there are a lot of big rooms in Ergonda"
Ellie said, shaking her head.
"But I don't like it over there"
Speaking of which, I suddenly remembered Elle's expression last night, which made me feel distressed.
"But then again, this doesn't look like a princess's room at all......"
Poor furnishings, there is no luxury at all.
The room on the third floor is a little more atmospheric, except for that, it looks like an ordinary library.
"Hey"
Ellie spread her hands.
"We elven houses are all made by ourselves with magic, but I'm not good at architecture"
I almost laughed, but if I did, I would definitely be scolded by Ellie.
"Ah~!Little ghost, you just wanted to laugh at me?"
Ellie's two brows immediately straightened, and she stared at me with a pair of large blue eyes.
Goo –
The sound of Liu Xiao's stomach.
It dawned on me that after a day of sleep, I should be hungry.
The girl was still standing in front of the bookcase, looking intently at the book, as if she didn't care at all about the condition of her stomach.
"Liu Xiao, aren't you hungry?"
The girl said to me without raising her head.
"Hungry, but it's your job to solve this problem, I want to get on with my business now"
What kind of 'human stomach separation' statement is this?
"Ellie, is there anything I can eat here?"
My question seemed to stump Elle, and the little one shook his head in thought.
"Usually someone brings food to my room, so ......"
Ellie's words are a bit of a princess's shelf.
But......
"Forget it, I'd better find it myself"
"Oh"
Ellie agreed, and immediately jumped up from my shoulder, and then jumped onto Liu Xiao's shoulder.
Not only me, but even Liu Xiao has become Ellie's throne?
It seems that this elf has eaten our brother and sister.
"Are you so reluctant to go out with me to find something to eat?"
"It's not interesting to find food, I still think the little girl is more interesting"
Ellie's tone was full of playfulness, as if I was a toy she was tired of playing with.
Forget it, it's up to you.
Even if I didn't have Elle here, as long as I knew how to read spells, I could always find other elves to inquire about.
This place is such a big forest, I don't believe I can't find any wild vegetables and fruits.
So I went downstairs alone.
Pushing open the wooden gate, a breath of early morning air greeted you.
The air of another world is full of magical smells, which make people feel very sweet.
But I was dumbfounded.
It was already dusk when I came yesterday, and I didn't have time to take a closer look at the city.
And now......
I was standing on a wide suspension bridge.
The countless hanging bridges around it extend gracefully, looping up and down, like a labyrinth.
Belch...... Anyway, just go down, and you'll be fine......
But then again, although I saw a sparse light last night.
But in the morning there was no one at all.
It was as if the whole city was empty.
These suspension bridges look flat but are steep to walk on.
In addition, the occasional gust of wind can be dangerous.
So I silently recited the levitation spell in my mind, ready to save my life at any time.
"Imps"
A kind, big sister's soft voice.
With a white-gold impression.
I know who the owner of this voice is.
"Linda?"
I turned back and searched for the big sister in the white uniform on the spiderweb-like web of hanging bridges.
"Oh oh, there it is"
I ran up and found Linda carrying a basket in her hand.
"What are you going to do, kid?"
"Why do you call me a little ghost, my name is Liu Xiaoqing"
Linda squinted at me and smiled.
"It's your breakfast"
Linda showed me the fruit in the basket.
Green, with a hint of red, looks a bit like a gourd and a bit like a pear.
"Thank you, Sister Linda is still reliable"
Ellie, that guy, I heard that I was going to look for something to eat, didn't even come with me, hey.
Wait, anyway, this one next to the line of sight is......
I tilted my head and looked up—
Next to us is a cylindrical building, on its façade...... Alone?
Dressed in red, he blended in with the buildings of Red Cliff City, and I almost didn't recognize him.
And he was — with a bow open......
"Linda!"
I lunged forward and pushed Linda away.
Scold!
The sound of an arrow stuck in a stone.
Looking back, a red arrow stuck in the ground.
Wrong!
Extrapolating from this position, that person's target was not Linda, but me!
When I looked up, I saw that the second shot was already on the string, and it would shoot at any time.
It's too late, it's too late for any defensive spells, and using the levitation charm may barely allow me to avoid the vital point, but Linda, who was knocked down by me, can't avoid it.
Crisis!
Suddenly, a spell appeared in my mind, and there was a clear memory and feeling about this spell.
"Quenching Shield!"
Whoosh——!
The speed of the arrow was beyond imagination, and it flew in front of me like a bullet on the ground.
In front of me, a faint red mist-like barrier suddenly appeared.
As soon as the arrow touched the barrier, it instantly turned into a liquid state, splitting into several bundles, as if being refracted and stabbing in different directions.
As soon as the arrow touched this barrier, it instantly turned into ashes, and it hit me without feeling it at all.
The arrow solution, which had just been split into several bundles, instantly solidified again after leaving the red fire mist, turning into pieces of fragments.
Smack!
With a few sounds, a spark was set off and stuck on the ground around it.
Poof——!
Linda, who was pounced on the ground by me, instantly turned into a pile of golden shards, and in the distance, next to the man who drew the bow, a golden light flashed.
Linda swung her huge axe at him and slashed down.
The man deftly lunged down, dodging Linda's attack.
Linda's tomahawk slashed into the wall, cutting a huge opening, and countless stone fragments flew out.
The man lunged downward......
Rush down......
Hey——?
It's coming towards me!
The guy dripped steadily in front of me, holding an arrow in his hand, and seemed to want to fight me hand-to-hand!?
However, a guy who is accustomed to using a bow and arrows does not react well at close quarters.
He moves big, and he has a flaw that even I can understand.
Following the movement of his right hand, I stepped to the side and dodged his attack.
Is there any magic that can hurt him in an instant......
Another incantation came to my mind.
Okay!
"Scorched Earth Princess's Spiked Flame Shield!"
Suddenly, the remaining magic in my body burst out of my pores, forming countless bright red flames.
With me as the center, a spherical blast of flames was formed.
Boom –
The impact barrier created by this magic carried energy I could never have imagined.
Within the spherical impact range, the stone bridge was smashed into slag, and the stone house was torn apart and collapsed.
"Levitation Charm"
At the moment when I judged that the stone bridge was destroyed, I quickly used the levitation spell that I had been preparing for a long time.
Fortunately, my magic had bottomed out, and the spherical impact did not spread a few meters before dissipating.
In the last moment, before the rubble flew, my eyes saw that the assassin had been injured in multiple places all over his body under my attack, and blood was pouring out.
Seems like there's something on this guy that dodges some of my attacks, though.
He saved his life.
He followed the gravel and fell from the sky into the canyon and into the rushing river.
