Chapter Twenty-Three: The Dark Shadow

Where there are people, there are struggles and factions, and Kirishima is naturally not exempt from vulgarity.

Even because of Kirishima's extraordinary particularity, the struggle between the various factions has become more intense.

After all, in this transcendent world where great power is attributed to oneself, resources are limited, and indisputable means that there are no resources for cultivation and promotion, and the lack of resources is an intolerable bottom line for every wizard.

The fact that the Investigation Office has a special status in Kirishima because of its monitoring function does not mean that everyone is afraid of the Investigation Center.

In Kirishima, most wizards are jealous of the investigation and usually stay away from it.

But with such a special group of wizards, they are not afraid of Kirishima.

In the Wizards' Tower, the organization responsible for handling the activities of wizards, there is such a group of wizards: they are composed of ninety percent of battle wizards, with some magic-side and mystical side wizards, and travel between Kirishima and the mainland in small teams, swimming under the sea of swords and fire.

They are Kirishima's sword blades to the outside world, and they have made Kirishima famous on the mainland.

These wizards who fought in the blood of iron and blood have long looked down on life and death, and they are quite disdainful of the investigation office.

They are the organization under the Wizard's Tower: the Battle Association.

"Joorna stays in Kirishima for a week after returning from a mission, and I only saw her team on the public list of rotations five days ago."

"And it's been two years since she graduated from the training camp and entered the Wizard's Tower, and now she is already a major member of the team with a certain right to speak!"

"All I have to do now is find her before the investigation office arrests me! And with her help, the 'Emergency Correction Procedure' was initiated! In this way, we can not only get rid of the investigation center, but also complete the purpose of supporting Knorr! ”

Thinking of this, Rolda's eyes once again appeared in front of the blonde girl who was sitting in the corner of the classroom, covering her face with a black veil, and was extremely silent.

And on the day she left to say goodbye, the beautiful face that was revealed after brushing off the light veil and.... The scar of the abrupt disobedience.

.....

The wind whistled in my ears, and the buildings on both sides of the street quickly retreated.

There were only five streets left to the Wizard's Tower, but Rolda was in a state of anxiety at the moment.

According to Rolda's previous calculations and presets, after breaking through the black-robed man's barrier at the intersection, he first galloped on the roadway to widen the distance from the tracker, and then when he was five streets away from the Wizard's Tower, he used the clone illusion to turn into the alley, sneaked down the alley to the entrance on the other side of the Wizard's Tower, and then waited for an opportunity to enter.

But now, in Rolda's perception, the investigator who had already distanced himself didn't know what to use, and his speed suddenly increased, and he followed closely behind him, and in mid-air, a few crows appeared at some point, and these crows were obviously released by other wizards.

Rolda's face was anxious, her eyes fixed on the front, and at the same time she was thinking about it quickly in her consciousness.

The crow hovered overhead, apparently locking onto itself.

And now there are only five streets left from the Wizard's Tower, if you can't get out of pursuit and hide when you are three streets away, then the first time you enter the Wizard's Tower's Enchantment Warning range, you will be marked by the Enchantment Warning.

After all... It is impossible for the defenders of the Wizard's Tower to see that there are pursuers behind them, and they allow themselves to enter the Wizard's Tower unimpeded.

Therefore..... Under any circumstances, it is impossible for him to rush into the Wizard's Tower when there is a pursuit behind him.

Thinking of this, Rolda's face was resolute and determined.

"I'm going to be here, get out of the pursuit!"

"And those pursuers haven't reached the level of the white robe yet, so it's their best chance!"

The next moment.

The sea of consciousness became agitated again, and the violent spiritual power surged and poured out with angry howls.

.....

"Why did he stop!?"

The investigator who had been following closely behind Rolda was about to use the strange object 'Cicada Wing' to explode again, but suddenly saw the escapee in front of him stop, then turned around, stared at him fiercely, and burst out with a strong magic fluctuation on his body.

At that moment, he shuddered, hurriedly stopped his figure, and looked at the escapees in front of him with a look of surprise.

"It's not going to break the cauldron and sink the boat, trapping the beast to the death, right?"

The thought flashed through the investigator's mind, and he immediately mobilized his magic to form a barrier in front of him.

"Now that there are more and more people rounding up, he will definitely not be able to escape! I need to be careful not to put myself in danger! ”

Looking at the escapees who raised their staff and prepared to attack him, the investigator looked solemn and hurriedly released the protection again.

The investigator waited vacantly, ready to respond to the next attack, but the staff in the hands of the escapees in front of him lit up for a long time, and there was no release of the spell.

"What skills... To charge up for so long? ”

Such a question flashed through the investigator's mind, but then, his face suddenly became ugly.

.....

And at this moment, Rolda's true body has successfully infiltrated the alley.

Sticking to the blue-black wall, hiding his body in the gray and silent alley, smelling the slight fishy stench that came from time to time, the pale Rolda breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, but also showed a touch of regret.

"It's a pity.... That meniscus staff. ”

"But... If it weren't for the breath on that meniscus staff, relying on my mental power alone, I might not have been able to hide the perception of the investigator and the crow. ”

Rolda glanced lightly out of the alley, wasting no more time, propping up the wall with her hands, and walking towards the end of the alley, one foot deep and one foot shallow.

....

A third of an hourglass later, Rolda shuttled into the alley just one block away from the Wizard's Tower.

Here, the alley closest to the Wizard's Tower, out of this alley, and then around the street, is the entrance to the Wizard's Tower.

In normal times, it only takes a short time to reach the Wizard's Tower from here, and it only takes a blink of an eye to reach the Wizard's Tower.

But now, Rolda, hidden in the shadows, looked at the investigator wearing the uniform of the investigation office on duty on the road ahead, and smiled silently.

"It's still that the mental power overdraft just now was too severe, causing my body to weaken and my speed to drop, and I didn't have time to enter the Wizard's Tower before the investigators sealed off the block."

"So.... What am I going to do now? ”

Look at the investigator guarding the intersection and checking the identity badge of a passing wizard. For a moment, Rolda had no choice but to hide in the shadows and continue to watch the investigator.

But suddenly, as if sensing Rolda's prying eyes, the investigator, who was checking the passing wizards, suddenly turned around and glanced at the alley where Rolda was staying.

Rolda, on the other hand, withdrew his gaze as early as the moment the investigator had a tendency to turn around.

Rolda was rejoicing in her heart, but in an instant, her heart sank suddenly.

Footsteps... It's coming from outside the alley....

Da Da Da ..... As if he wanted to be heard.

Rolda lamented in his heart.

"Are you finally going to be arrested?"

But the next moment.

The light in front of Rolda's eyes changed, and a hazy black shadow around him... appeared in front of Rolda.

"Catch me!"

Hearing the light drink, Rolda's expression was shocked, and without hesitation, he grabbed the black shadow's hand, and the hazy fluctuations that shrouded the black shadow instantly extended to Rolda's body.

At this time, the investigator also came to the entrance of the alley.

Seeing that the alley was empty, the investigator smacked his lips.

"No one?"

Then he turned and left.
