Chapter Seventy-Two
"How about becoming our ally, then? I heard that you refused Scarlett's invitation to join us, so I won't force you to join us, so let's all take a step back and ask you to be our ally?"
After both sides agreed on the current approach, Brooklyn proposed a further plan. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
And this is exactly what Xia Ji wants, who is not familiar with Awaklin, and is in desperate need of a group that can help her in time, and now Brooklyn's proposal solves this problem.
As something that Xia Ji couldn't ask for, she would naturally agree immediately.
"No problem, while I am assisting you, I will trouble you to provide us with the information I want. ”
"Intelligence, huh?"
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I don't know what you're here for, if it's convenient. ”
Brooklyn's gaze swept over the two people who did not participate in the conversation, in the eyes of ordinary people, the combination of two girls and a teenager would not think that it was a reasonable configuration of travel, even if Brooklyn knew Xia Ji's strength, he still felt that if there was no important purpose, it would be a little strange to travel with this combination.
"Can you tell me what you're here for?"
Natsuhime hesitated, not knowing how to speak.
"We're here for the dragons. ”
One of the two who had not participated in the conversation, Fidelia, instead of Natsuki, directly stated the purpose of their trip.
There were three people who were shaken, and it should be said that except for the person who said this, the other three people were all shaken.
There was only one reason, and that was that all three people in the room thought that the other people did not know this information. Dressed as a young merchant, Thion had learned the truth about the dragon's resurgence from his father, and he had not mentioned it to anyone involved in the incident, and now he was shaken by the fact that he had told the dragon from Phidelia.
The reason for Natsuki's wavering was completely different from that of Tyne, in fact, she was not sure whether she should tell anyone else about their purpose at this time, she was afraid of involving unrelated people, and she was slightly embarrassed to say it not from herself but from a retinue-like being.
The other person's vacillation is a little different, Brooklyn, as the leader of this warrior group, naturally has some channels, and from these related channels, he has learned information that the dragon may be revived, but this kind of information cannot easily flow into the hands of the girl. So, when Phidelia said that he was coming for the dragon, it was inevitable that he would be shaken.
"You just said it, dragon?"
Suspecting that he had misheard, Brooklyn asked again as if he wanted to confirm that fact.
"That's right, we're here for the dragons. ”
And that fact was also confirmed after the second confirmation.
"And what are you going to do after seeing the dragon?"
Although he was convinced of the fact that the girl was here for the dragon, Brooklyn still couldn't connect the girl with the dragon, even if the girl had amazing strength, it was still too discordant.
"It depends on the situation, if the dragon doesn't recover, that's fine, but if the dragon does, then it's better to kill it. ”
It was Natsuki who answered Brooklyn, but this answer was taken as a joke by Brooklyn.
"Yes, the only way to do it is to kill it. ”
Brooklyn laughed dryly twice, ending the topic. At least he now roughly knew the girl's purpose, of course, the girl was not without the possibility of lying, but Brooklyn chose to believe the girl instead of thinking it was a girl's lie.
"As for the purpose of your visit. ”
"It's done, we're here to find help. ”
Brooklyn nodded.
"Well, let's split up, and if you can help find Scarlett's whereabouts, that would be a great help, and I'll pay you separately. ”
"Okay. ”
Natsuki nodded in agreement, and a short-lived alliance was formed.
After separating from Brooklyn, the three of them followed Tian's guidance to an empty alley, and the reason why this featureless alley would become Xiaji's destination was because of what happened here the night before, because this is where Tiane and Scarlett met.
"Is this it?"
Phidelia asked.
Comparing it to the scene in her memory, Thian nodded.
"I felt the magic. ”
Natsuhime felt the flow of magic when she stepped into this area, it was incredible, it was clear that in Avaklin, it was difficult for even herself to cast her magic power, but now she felt the flow of magic here.
"The city was known as the City of Demons even in the Age of Magic, because once magic was used, it disappeared without a trace, and as a result, no one could use magic in Avaklin. ”
Phidelia was reading the description of Avaklin like a textbook, and in this city that had become demonless for physical reasons, there was actually someone who could successfully perform magic, and even traces of his use of magic could remain, and Xia Ji could perceive it.
This is very unusual, and the excessive uncommon can only be described in two words.
Anomaly, too anomalous, even Tyne, who didn't have a lot of expertise and survival experience, felt the anomaly, and now Thion was glad that he could survive such a terrible event in a comatose posture.
"Can you feel what kind of magic that is?"
Phydelia broke the other two's thoughts.
"I don't know what kind of magic it is, I can feel it, but I can't feel it, it's a strange feeling that comes and goes. ”
"Are there any other traits? The traits you gave are too general, and there are a lot of magic that match your description. ”
"No, I can't feel more, and it's already the limit to be able to feel the characteristic of appearing and disappearing. ”
Xia Ji felt a sense of powerlessness called impossibility for the first time in a long time. This feeling has never been felt since she became what she is now.
Should we really give up this clue and start somehow?
In a trance, Xia Ji even had such an idea.
However, the discouraged thought only existed for a moment. Natsuki shook her head desperately, putting aside the idea of wanting to give up, after all, she was the one who once dared to challenge the gods without relying on magic, and now this little setback was nothing.
Since you already have the power of God, it should be possible to do such a thing.
Natsuhime began to try to manipulate the magic that remained on the ground.
If you can't use your own mana, use the magic that you can use in Avaklin.
However, Natsuki, who lacks magical knowledge, doesn't know what the side effects of this are, and by the time Phidelia realizes what Natsuki wants to do and plans to stop it, it's too late.
rashly using the magic of the system that he failed to master, there is only one result, and that is backlash.
The sharp pain hit Natsuhime's nerves at once, and she almost fainted.
"Natsuhime-sama, are you alright?"
Fidelia hurriedly held Natsuki, who almost fell due to pain.
"No, it's fine. ”
Natsuki held her forehead, but the pain only lasted for a moment, and Natsuki quickly returned to her normal state.
"Lord Natsuhime, you are too reckless, how can you directly use your own spirit to contact the magic that you don't even know about. You're lucky this time, and if you're unlucky, you'll be in a vegetative state. ”
"Will that happen?"
Natsuhime apparently didn't realize that she had just done something very dangerous.
"At least that's what ordinary people do, although Natsuhime-sama is different from ordinary people, but you still have to avoid things that will cause harm to you. ”
"Understood, thank you for your concern. ”
Natsukie's thanks instantly gagged Fidelia.
If you look closely, you can see a slight flush on Phidelia's face, a flush that is intoxicated by the words of the person she admires.
"Well, can I say a word?"
Tyon, who had not spoken, finally found the right moment to interject.
The attention of the two girls finally focused on Tjan, and suddenly she was stared at like that by the two beauties, Tyan, who had always disliked women, also became a little dazed.
But Tien realized that he couldn't do anything superfluous with his current position.
He put away his expression and turned to speak solemnly.
"Before I fell unconscious yesterday, I seemed to hear the female warrior named Scarlett say the word shadow magic. ”
In an instant, the atmosphere froze, and it was so cold that Tian couldn't help but shiver.
"What's wrong?"
Theon asked, a little flustered.
"What's wrong?Since you heard the shadow magic, why didn't you tell us earlier?Did you deliberately want to hurt Natsuhime-sama?"
"No, I'm not, I just didn't remember it for a while. ”
"Didn't remember?"
The anger in Fidelia's tone grew stronger.
"What do you mean by not remembering? Let me tell you, this time it is fortunate that Natsuhime-sama's own tenacious constitution was not harmed, and if something happens to Natsuhime-sama, I will not spare you. ”
Angry words rained down like bullets, drowning Tyon.
Poor Thian couldn't say a word, and there was no way to do it, because he was so pampered that he couldn't tell the first time that such important information could not be said in the first place.
"Okay Fidelia, just let Master Tian pay attention next time, don't be too harsh on him. I was in a hurry just now. ”
"But—"
"That's it, okay, now that you know what kind of magic it is, it's convenient for me to extract it again, right?"
Natsuhime pushes the conversation forward.
Fidelia also had to give up her accountability for Thean in response to Natsuki's words.
"That's true, yes, but Natsuhime-sama, you're not very proficient in shadow magic, and it seems that you've only practiced it a few times on our way here. ”
"It's true, but I've basically understood the basic principles of shadow magic, and it shouldn't be difficult to use. ”
"If you can understand the principle, you should be able to use your tracking magic to track down the owner of these magic, but when you control these magic, you must remember that shadow magic is not dark magic, it is magic that coexists with light and darkness, and without light there will be no shadow, let alone any shadow magic. If you forget to refer to the light while manipulating the mana, the backlash that just now happens. ”
Although Fidelia understood that Natsuki knew the principle of shadow magic, she couldn't help but remind Natsuki.
"You don't need to worry, if you know what type of magic it is, I won't be in that situation. ”
As she spoke, Natsuhime began to re-manipulate the scattered magic scattered around the alley, the magic born from shadow magic.
The invisible magic began to gather gradually, Xia Ji blended light and darkness together with extreme skill, if Phidelia still had the ability to perceive magic power, she would definitely be surprised to jump up when she saw this scene, Xia Ji is obviously a person who has no common sense of magic, but she is unexpectedly extremely skilled in using these magic powers, even more skilled than those old magicians who have studied magic for decades, it is almost like a magic operator engraved in her bones is working.
In fact, even if she can't perceive magic, Fidelia can feel Xia Ji's proficiency in magic manipulation, of course, most of it is her imagination, she has superimposed all the top magicians she can imagine to operate magic on Xia Ji, but, in fact, Xia Ji's own manipulation of magic is far beyond the height of Fidelia's imagination, and the gap between this is probably the gap between gods and humans.
In just a few tens of seconds, Xia Ji extracted enough mana from the scattered magic power scattered everywhere to reflect the caster himself, and then launched the tracking magic that he had mastered with great difficulty.
After the tracking magic unfolded, the shadow mage's position was directly reflected in Natsuhime's mind.
"The positioning is complete, as for whether we can find Scarlett, it depends on our luck. ”
Natsuhime breathed a sigh of relief, a sigh of relief after completing the precision mana operation.
"If the Shadow Mage was the one who captured her, then we should be able to find Scarlett if we find him, right?"
"I hope so, but I don't think it's going to be that simple, there are so many forces involved in this dragon incident, and it's unclear which side is attacking us with the power of orcs to checkmate. ”
Both girls fell silent.
And Tiane finally seized the opportunity to ask a question that he wanted to ask the most, "Why, you can still use magic?"
It was only then that the girls realized that they had not said anything about them to Theon, and that Theon's perception of them was probably still at the level of a powerful female warrior.
