Chapter 85
In the general perception of humans in the other world, the combat power that a mage can exert in close proximity is pitifully low.
This notion is also ingrained in the mind of the Captain of the Guard, Reinhardt.
In his opinion, even an existence like Mikhail in a brown robe can't escape defeat if he is shortened by himself in a hurry.
As for a trainee magician who was easily subdued by himself not long ago and had no power to resist, what threat did he have to himself?
The moment his unprotected neck was sliced by the high-speed spinning stone, the unsuspecting Captain Reinhardt couldn't even make any effective dodge moves.
Luckily or unfortunately, the mood swings of Yanni's spell were a little different than usual, so that the stone chip that should have cut the throat of the chief guard Reinhardt and the major artery in his neck was only a wound between the latter's neck, which was not deep or shallow, far from fatal.
Feeling the heat in his neck, the captain of the guard, Reinhardt, reacted to his attack at the moment, and made the most correct reaction at the moment with his own condensed actual combat experience - the short body rolled and fell off the horse, avoiding himself from remaining in a high place to become a target, and using the cover of his and his companions' mounts as a cover to delay time.
The guards who followed behind the captain of the guard, Reinhardt, saw the whole process of Yanni's raid on the former after suddenly getting up.
The guards, who had no time to show their guards, reacted no faster than their leader, and almost as the captain of the guard, Reinhardt, rolled over and fell from his horse, they raised their weapons and led their horses to lunge at the daring female murderer.
One against fifty, this is a battle without suspense.
While some of the guards of the Lord of South Richsyphus were still hesitating whether to kill the female murderer on the spot or take some trouble to capture her, most of them saw the latter throw a cloth bag with only one end attached to the lit fuse at them.
Only a handful of adventurers in the other world who witnessed the limited duel knew what the cloth bag was for, and the guards of the South Richsyphus Lord's Guard were not.
The results can be imagined.
Rumble!
The Devil's Pepper Bomb exploded in the crowd had its due effect, and the guards' mounts raised their front hooves in horror under the thunderous explosion, flipped the riders on their backs and dismounted, and then the strong irritating gas that filled the air made these already panicked animals further lose control and scatter in all directions.
When Reinhardt, the chief of the guard, who was also in great embarrassment, could barely open his eyes, he happened to see someone riding a horse and riding a man galloping past in front of him.
How did that horse look so much like his mount......
"Reinhardt, you idiot!" Viscount Robinette's angry voice came, "Everyone has run away, you don't want to chase after it!" ”
On the bumpy back of the horse, Yanni, who confirmed herself and the South Lane Sipheus Lord's Guard, held the reins of the horse with one hand and stabilized Carl, who was still unconscious on the horse's back, with no joy on her face.
The Devil Pepper Bomb, which Shi Junjun had given them as a separate gift, came in handy less than an hour later, allowing Yanni, who had never had any chance to get out of the situation, to flee with Carl almost unscathed.
A film of water covering their faces kept Yanni and Carl within reach of the Devil Pepper bomb, but their skin was still scorching with the irritating gases produced by the explosion.
However, this was no longer of great concern to Yanni, who was already on the run, and the moment she threw the parting gift to the guards of the South Richsypheus Lord's Guard, she had already committed a crime that was not much lighter than the latter.
Galloping her horse south of Le Berion until dusk, Yanni finally saw the somewhat familiar back.
"Shi Junjun!"
The girl who heard this cry originally thought that she had experienced auditory hallucinations after crossing through another world, but the second cry that followed quickly shattered her original thoughts.
Jenny? Why did she come......
After seeing the faces of the rider and the man on horseback, the girl suddenly felt angry and a sense of foreboding.
The horses that had carried the two of them all the way here were exhausted, and their knees weakened when they stopped beside Shi Junjun, almost knocking Yanni, who was about to turn over and dismount, to the ground.
"Yanni, why are you here? And Carl how ...... this"
Hurriedly supporting Yanni, Junjun hurriedly asked.
"You look me in the eye." The panting Yanni did not answer the girl's question at the first time, but stared at the unknown latter with wide eyes, "Have you had a holiday with Viscount Robinette?" ”
Hearing this question, Shi Junjun was silent for a long time, and finally nodded slightly.
"The people of the South Richsyphus Lord's Guard say that you are a wanted criminal who has committed many crimes......" Yanni looked into the eyes of the girl who was close at hand, and said word by word, "Now I want you to tell me in person whether you have committed those crimes." ”
"Nope." Shi Junjun didn't avoid her gaze in the slightest, she looked directly into Yanni's eyes and said, "I'm not guilty." ”
There was no hesitation in her voice, and her eyes never wavered.
This is not the eyes of a liar.
Hearing this answer, Yanni did not immediately withdraw her gaze, and after continuing to look at Shi Junjun for an unknown amount of time, Yanni, who seemed to have unloaded some extremely heavy burden, had red eyes.
If those crimes were really Shi Junjun's doing, then everything she and Carl had just done was meaningless......
Fortunately, Shi Junjun's character did not make everything they had just done worthwhile.
"Those people from the South Richsyphus Lord's Guard wanted Carl to explain your whereabouts, but he didn't, and then the brown-robed magician who was close to Viscount Robinette used the Soul Searching Technique on Carl......"
Yan Ni, who quickly explained what had happened to Shi Junjun, held back the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes, and continued: "Fortunately, there is the devil pepper bomb that you gave me when you left...... But Carl was used by them to search for souls, and his spirit was very traumatized, and he didn't know when he would wake up......"
After listening to Yanni's story, she couldn't help biting her lip.
She didn't expect that the perverted nobleman would be so mad...... Treat human life as a trivial thing.
It seems that this other world is much sicker than she imagined, and it has reached the point where she has to undergo major surgery......
She thought silently in her heart.
