Zheng Qing leaned on the patrol's wooden staff, hunched slightly, and panted slightly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although the road conditions in the forest at night were more complicated, I was misled by a few strange-shaped bushes on the way to pursuit, and took a few detours.

But fortunately, the effect of the Swift Horse Talisman is quite good.

Finally stopped the damned fish-man as he was about to flee into the lake, and the young man thought triumphantly, glancing down at the two armoured horses tied to his legs.

The vermilion runes slowly changed color along the traces of the strokes, and half of the runes had turned charred black. This means that these two horses are just halfway through and can hold out for a long time.

It would last at least five minutes, the young wizard thought, his eyes fixed on the slowing fishman leader opposite, not intending to rip the talisman off his leg.

He didn't know if he would be able to deal with this dangerous aquatic creature, and if he couldn't do it, he had to be prepared to retreat.

The moon has passed its highest peak tonight and is slowly descending.

The miserable white moonlight shot straight from behind Zheng Qing, casting a thick, slender shadow in front of him.

Iseni grinned maliciously at the red-robed wizard in front of him, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth.

This isn't the first time it's been interrupted by the patrol's wizards, but it's the first time it's been blocked on its way home.

It was a novel experience, and the young fish-man snapped his fingers and spread the fins on his back a little wider.

It didn't feel that the weak wizard in front of it could stop its progress.

Zheng Qing frowned.

He noticed that his shadow's head had been trampled under his feet by the abominable fish-man.

Perhaps because of the direct sunlight of the moon, the scale armor on the fishman on the opposite side was shining, and it seemed that even the surrounding dark trees and grass were illuminated a lot.

The fish-man's hideous face and sharp fangs stood out in the light.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. The young government-funded student secretly encouraged himself in his heart: "This is the No. 1 university...... I have patrol sticks =...... I have a repression charm...... I have a bondage spell...... I have amulets. ”

He muttered to himself, scrambling to pick up the talisman from the gray cloth bag.

This apparently surprised the fishman opposite, whose gaze paused on the young wizard's robes.

As a fish-man with a relatively nimble mind, Iseni, who has a lot of experience trading with wizards, can easily make a judgment.

“... Hiss...... Newcomer ......" Iseni's eyes widened, and he was very appreciative of Zheng Qing's behavior of daring to pursue alone: "Hiss... Real Warriors...... I will do my best to repay your courage...... Hiss ......"

Before the hissing sounded, it plucked off a branch of the sour jujube tree next to it, waved it in its hand, and wiped its feel.

The sticks pressed against the air, whining and threatening.

The fish-man nodded in satisfaction, swung his dorsal fin, and strode towards the red-robed wizard who was blocking his way.

......

Zheng Qing stuck the patrol's wooden staff in the dirt under his feet and opened the law book in his arms.

To his own surprise, in the face of the approaching fishman leader, Zheng Qing's original panic in his heart unconsciously dissipated a lot.

Although his mind was still a little blank, his mind was extraordinarily focused because of the unusual excitement.

Yes, excited.

It's like seeing a ghost wandering and wailing by a mound, like casting a talisman for the first time, watching the yellow paper glow in the smoke, and following Thomas to the Four Seasons for the first time.

It's just a new adventure, he said to himself in his heart, and pressed his hand on the open law book.

"Ge Zhi Tan Xi ......"

The high-pitched sound of incantations startled the birds and elves resting on the branches.

The birds fluttered their wings and chirped and complained about the noise under the trees. The dryads stared blankly at the dim world around them with wide eyes, and as diurnal creatures, their vision in the dark was close to zero.

The spell ended, but the tremor of magic had just begun.

A pale green light rose from the Dharma book and dissipated into the dark night.

As if sensing the uneasiness in the air around them, the birds and finches quickly closed their mouths, but still jumped restlessly from branch to branch, while the tree spirits became quieter and quieter, and only moved their bodies deeper into the nest.

Maybe the overgrown environment has some bonus to the spell.

In the blink of an eye, four or five arm-thick rattans poked out of the void and rolled unceremoniously towards the tall fish-man.

Iseni who was running couldn't avoid it, and in an instant he was rolled up by these active rattans.

"Kill instantly. ”

Zheng Qing's eyes were firmly fixed on the fishman, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It's just that the smile appeared a little earlier.

Slippery like a fish, it's so apt to describe a fish-man.

A large amount of transparent slime suddenly seeped out from under Iseni's scales and applied to the rattan that bound it. Then the fish-man inhaled and shrunk, shook his head and tail, and in the blink of an eye, broke free from the slippery rattan.

“... Hiss...... Despicable Wizard ...... Hiss... Duel like a warrior!"

The tall fish-man shook off the slime from his body, brandished his stick, and charged again.

......

Not far from the place of the battle.

Lakeside forest, in the shadow of a large willow tree.

Two old voices were talking slowly.

"He's a freshman this year...... You know that that kid has already stimulated the Tide Bloodline, and if it weren't for the restrictions of the Umno Alliance, I would have wanted him to stay at Alpha Academy for a while. ”

The moonlight leaked slightly from the willow branches and fell on the speaker.

This is an old fish-man covered in snow-white, with almost all the scales gone.

Its eyes are like those of a severe cataract patient, cloudy, looking at the lake without focus. The fins on the back were limp and seemed to be somewhat broken, revealing many suspicious holes. Only the two long beards at the corners of the mouth appear smooth and recognizable, shining with charming colors in the moonlight.

The old fish-man had a crumpled hand on a crutch much taller than it. The head of the rod is a jumping carp with a string of silver rings hanging from its lips. As it snorted, the ring slammed slightly, making a tiny tinkling sound.

"If the jade is not cut, it will not be made...... If you don't try it, how do you know. Another voice replied.

"Hiss...... "The old fish-man let out a strange laugh: "Verne...... Jules verne...... You're still so conceited...... You must know that jade is the most susceptible to chipping when it is carved. ”

"Broken?" the old man laughed roughly, "I'm watching here, you're watching here, if it's still broken, then what can I say?"

The old fishman fell silent for a moment.
