"It's not enjoyment, Lord Yuren. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Offariel stepped out of the carriage and stood on the snowy field where the cold wind was howling, looking at the corpses lying around, and sighed in a low voice.
"yes, it's not a joke in such a cold weather. ”
Julien replied in response, and then he looked at Offariel.
"What about the two little ones?"
"Asleep. ”
At the mention of the sisters, Offariel couldn't help but smile bitterly. Soon after entering the snowfield, the two little ones closed their eyes and fell asleep obediently hugging each other. This really made Ofaryl not know what to count, although she had been with these two little ones for a long time, but still could not get used to the strange actions of these two little ones.
"Good. ”
Hearing this, Yulian nodded. Then he looked at Ofariel and chuckled.
"How's your practice?"
"There have been some results, and at the moment......... It's just a lack of real combat experience. ”
"Then, I'll leave it to you in a moment, remember, be kind to our friends, the Mage Guild is not our enemy, just let the other party know the difficulties and retreat, don't make any trouble, do you hear?"
"Yes, Lord Yuren. ”
Offariel nodded slightly, and in the next moment, she suddenly turned her eyes to the sky in front of her, and frowned slightly.
"It's coming. ”
As the bearer of the Illusory caste, Ofariel is far more sensitive to fluctuations in magic than ordinary people. Even the sisters and Yulian were better than her. And it was the same now, although Yulian also sensed the spread of magic power, but he was far slower than Ofaril before turning his head, but they all saw the dozens of black dots floating in the sky.
"Prepare to act, Ofaril, you go and negotiate with the other side, remember, let them know that it is difficult to retreat. In case something happens, I will be your backup in the rear, always ready to follow my orders, and once I order you to retreat, don't hesitate, understand?"
"Yes!"
At this moment, Ofariel finally got serious, she didn't have the ability to talk and laugh on the battlefield like the sisters Yuren and Messiah. Because this is something that belongs to people who have survived countless wars, and for a novice like O'Fariel, who has only been on the battlefield a few times, there is no such leisure.
The girl closed her eyes and put her right hand on her chest, and soon, layers of thin black mist emanated from her body, and then quickly wrapped the girl's body, and they began to squirm, stretch, and deform continuously. As Ofaril took a deep breath and opened his eyes again, a powerful aura seemed to blow away the black mist that had surrounded it, and in its place was still the same fantasy weapon condensed entirely by the power of magic.
"Click......!"
The crisp sound of metal grinding sounded, and the metal wings that had contracted and were suspended behind the girl's back stretched out to both sides, and the sun shone on the unmachined shiny wings, reflecting a cold cold light, and then, Ofariel bit her lip and flapped her wings hard, and then she immediately rose into the sky, flying quickly in the direction of the black dot. And behind her, only a roll of snowflakes and air waves were left behind.
“..................”
Yuren slapped the snowflakes on his shoulders and head speechlessly, looking at the disappearing figure, and then looked down at his mount.
"See, everyone can fly, can you give some strength, okay? I really miss that wind horse back then, at least it still has wings. ”
“――!!”
Hearing Yulian's complaint, the Phantom Warhorse shook its head in dissatisfaction and snorted, it was obvious that it didn't like its owner's evaluation. But Yuren obviously didn't mean to make any corrections to his evaluation, instead, he raised his head and looked carefully at the sky.
There, Ofariel's figure had become indistinct.
Although it is winter now, the cold wind in the sky has not caused any effect on O'Faryl, outside her body, an invisible magical barrier resists the howling storm, the metal wings are steadily opened, and then the wind slides, although O'Faryl has not yet mastered the subtleties of the spell well, but after all, she has opened a cheat- The extreme sensitivity and extreme affinity for Manna brought about by the Illusory caste allowed Offariel to easily master these magical skills that were very difficult for ordinary mages, and of course, this also proved once again that the heavens were indeed unfair.
Soon, and then the wind, O'Faryl approached the dark shadows flying in the sky, and the other party was obviously aware of her presence, and both sides made a sudden stop, and then suspended in mid-air.
And at this moment, O'Faryl finally saw the other party's appearance clearly.
That's a bunch of mages.
Unlike Ofaril's exaggerated "heavy metal" attire, the group of mages was clearly more in line with people's concept of mages, and the twenty-odd mages were shrouded in red, gold-trimmed robes. And in the sleeves of these mages, black gloves that glowed with magic could be seen. Other than that, everything about the other party was shrouded in the shadow of the robe, blurred, and it brought a hint of mystery and unpredictability.
To Ofariel's surprise, there was a presence suspended in the middle of these mages.
It was a girl who looked about her own age.
Her outfit was very similar to that of O'Faryl, the maiden wore a dark purple leotard on her upper body, and black leather gloves wrapped around her arms, as if she had no protection. But the lower body is completely different, the wide dark blue lace dress is parted to the sides, revealing the girl's slender and slender legs, and the black suspender stockings and leather boots are very eye-catching. Outside the girl's skirt, three strange hexagonal equilateral metal plates floated on her left and right sides and behind the skirt, seemingly acting as a defensive force. Outside, five prismatic pillar crystals were slowly rotating around her, emitting a purple-cyan glow.
Although the girl's dress is already very exaggerated, the weapon in her hand is even more eye-catching, it is a huge and strange weapon. It looked like a spear, but it was even longer than its bearer's height, and its hilt was a flat plate made of dozens of geometric metal plates, and the head of the spear was replaced by a large black cylinder, and at its junction, a blue-blue round gem radiated a faint brilliance. On the back side of the cylinder, a large tomahawk is attached, and a mark called XIII can be seen in a prominent part of the cylinder.
Overall, the weapon seemed to be a fusion of a spear, a tomahawk, and some kind of shrunken magic cannon, but no matter how Ofaril looked at it, it felt like it was even several times heavier than its bearer, and she couldn't imagine how the other party could use this large, heavy-looking weapon.
At this moment, the other party easily swung the heavy and strange weapon, pointing it at Ofaryl.
"Who are you, and why are you in the way of Faren?"
The girl's voice was crisp and with a hint of fire, on her lovely face, a pair of red eyes were wide open at the moment, and her long white hair was tied into two ponytails by blue ribbons, which were shaking with the movements of her master. It looks extraordinarily playful and cute.
"I'm from the Kingdom of West. ”
O'Faryl didn't say her name, she just introduced herself lightly. Then, she calmly looked at the people in front of her and asked in a low voice.
"I would like to ask, where did you all come from, mages? Listening to your accent, you shouldn't be Westers. ”
"Of course not. ”
The girl proudly puffed up her little chest, although she did this only subconsciously, but looking at the pair of small metal armor barely "squeezed" out, that little protrusion, it would make people feel sad for no reason.
"Farin is a mage from Elise! We are a member of the Mage Guild, the Wizard Knights!"
“.....................”
Ofariel's mouth was wide open, but he couldn't say anything.
Originally, she thought that the guys who could help those rebels must be some people with evil intentions, and even if she went to ask, most of them would not get any answers. But Ofaril didn't expect that the other party would be so upright, and he would report directly to his home as soon as he came up.
Hearing this, O'Faryl really wanted to ask the other party, do you know what you mean by what you say?
If it was before, maybe Offariel would still mess with himself, but fortunately, in the castle of the Twilight Forest, there is also a princess with a natural level enough to break through the sky, and after being with her for a long time, Ofariel can be regarded as a little immune to this unexpected situation. She knows very well that in this case, regardless of the other party's reaction, she must follow her own steps, otherwise, God knows where the topic will go.
"So, why is Elise's mage in West's territory?
"Of course not!"
The girl's answer was as confident as before, as if she were talking about the relationship between heaven and earth.
"The rulers here are all big bad guys, Faren doesn't need their permission, Faren is here to help the good people!"
At this point, the girl, who called herself Haren, paused, and then added, as if she had forgotten something.
"That's what the teacher said!"
“..............................”
Offariel took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing an impulse in her heart before speaking.
"I'm sorry, but you don't have the right to trespass into West's borders without official permission, and for now, I want you to leave immediately. ”
"Big sister, are you from the villain's side?"
“........................... I don't mean that, all in all, you have broken the rules, and I think that since you are mages of the Mage Association, you should understand that you do not enter the borders of other countries without official permission, and ........."
Saying this, Ofariel narrowed her eyes calmly.
"It is intolerable that you are still helping the mob to start a rebellion, and now I ask you to leave immediately. ”
"We're not leaving. ”
In response to Offariel's answer, Farin shook her head very childishly.
"What Faren is doing is a good thing, and the teacher told Haren that we are helping the oppressed and weak and overthrowing the evil aristocracy. I don't want to listen to your orders, only Faren's teacher can give orders to the Wizard Knights!"
At this, the girl seemed tired of talking to O'Faryl, and she waved her weapon vigorously.
"Let's go!"
Although I don't know who this girl is, it is obvious that she has a very high status among this group of mages, and with the girl's order, those red-robed mages who have not spoken out have moved forward again. Offariel frowned, then quickly spread her wings and stopped in front of them once more.
"If you want to go to the rebels, then I can advise you to abandon this operation now. ”
“............ What do you mean?"
"Because they have been wiped out, and now even if you pass, it is meaningless. ”
“.....................”
Hearing this, the girl's bright red eyes suddenly widened.
"You mean...... They're already dead?!"
"Exactly. ”
“..............................”
Hearing Ofariel's answer, the girl gritted her teeth, her slender arms trembled uncontrollably, and an inexplicable killing intent began to emanate.
"You're such a bully! Sure enough, you're all evil scoundrels!
The girl spoke quickly, but she was even faster, and as soon as she finished her last word, the five crystals beside the girl burst into bright brilliance, and then, the girl's figure turned into a blue flash and rushed towards Ofariel.
What a powerful force!
Although Offariel is still a rookie on the battlefield, she has practiced many battles with the twin sisters after all, so she can barely judge the strength of the other party by virtue of the opponent's prowess. And now, the girl who was rushing towards her in front of her was not at all inferior to the pair of sisters! This surprised Ofaril, and then, her wings quickly flapped, setting off a cold wave, and Ofaril herself, taking advantage of this air current, quickly climbed upward.
"Whew!!"
Offariel's fanning of the air did not affect the girl at all, her speed did not even slow down a bit, although Ofariel sped up, but it was only enough to pass the other party, the huge battle axe when it was swung down was enough to tear up the weak birds, if it were not for the magic energy of both sides, then the consequences were really difficult to predict.
But that's just the beginning.
These mages were clearly very skilled and well-trained, and even as Offariel dodged the attack, she heard a muffled chant.
More than one.
When Offariel looked up, her eyes were met with a bright glow of magic. The more than twenty mages suspended in the air were already arranged according to their positions at this moment, they stretched out their hands, and the magical brilliance on the black gloves condensed, converging into golden lines, each connected, scattered, stretched, twisted, and then turned into a beautiful magic circle. Then, Offariel felt the magic quickly condense in it, and then turn into a dazzling light.
Deadly light.
It was just a matter of seconds.
Dozens of golden rays of light burst out, shooting straight at Ofaril who was in the air, and Ofaril was not familiar with how to fly in the air after all, dodging the girl's blow before was enough to make her scramble, and the current meteor storm she no longer had the ability to adjust her posture, and the only thing Ofaril could do in desperation was to close her wings and try to resist this wave of attacks.
And she did.
The energy of the illusory caste was condensed by Ofariel's consciousness and materialized again, forming a pitch-black, ink-like thing that spread over the metal wings in an instant, and then the golden light that followed was like raindrops falling into a pond, and they shot at Ofariel's metal wings, then struck a ripple on its surface, and then quietly disappeared as if it had never existed.
"What's going on?"
Looking at this scene in front of her, the girl was obviously very surprised, but her men did not stop moving. The tomahawk that swept through the air retracted and retracted in an instant, and then stabbed straight upwards again, striking Ofariel -- but then, the huge tomahawk suddenly retreated, blocking the girl's body, and at the same time, a sharp black shadow swept through the void and slammed into the surface of the tomahawk.
Ofariel's wings spread out again, and this time, in her hands, there were two more long black whips.
"Humph!!Despicable!"
The girl snorted coldly as she gazed at Ofariel's whip, and then she took the strange handle of the battle axe in one hand and raised it again.
Holy grace above, doesn't this thing have weight?
Even now in battle, watching the girl's movements, Ofariel couldn't help but be secretly surprised, she couldn't connect this heavy, huge, strange weapon to the slender arms of the girl in front of her. If she said that she was because of the spirit, then what was the reason for this girl?
Isn't she human?
"It's finally begun. ”
Yu Lian watched the battle in the distance, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.
"Sure enough, like the information provided by Dades, this wizard knight is really interesting......... So, let me see how far you can go against O'Fariel. ”
