Chapter 41: What the Eyes See Is Not Necessarily the Truth

The market in the south of the city is brightly lit at night.

In the glow of the fire, all sorts of people ran around.

There are ordinary citizens who watch the bustle, there are patrol guards who maintain order, there are soldiers and bounty hunters who hunt down murderers, and there are even many thieves who fish in troubled waters.

It's noisy, it's messy.

Lawson was standing on the corner of the street, at a loss, when he suddenly heard a roar coming from a nearby alley.

"This way! She's over here! ”

It's Shabole's voice.

Rosen immediately rushed in the direction from which the voice came.

During this time, he ate, drank, slept well, and was busy every day, although he did not grow much taller, he was much stronger, and his running speed was much faster than that of ordinary people.

In addition, he was small and familiar with the situation in the neighborhood, and he ran around the chaotic streets like a slippery loach before the crowd to the vicinity of Shabolai.

Far away, he saw a short and fat figure in the open space next to a shop, the man was holding a blue war knife with a silver light flashing on the blade, it was Shabolai.

Before he could say hello, he heard Shapole burst into cheers again.

"Don't try to run!"

As he spoke, Shabolai sprinted forward with all his might, and when he was halfway there, the light on the sword in his hand flashed, and a silver sword shot towards the sky.

Rosen looked in the direction of the sword's flight and saw a figure floating in the air.

Seeing the sword attack, the silver light on the figure's body flashed, and a light shield composed of polyhedra appeared.

Lawson recognized it as the mid-level Moon Pole Logic Six-Star Spell 'Silver Moon Shield of Protection'!

Almost at the same time, more than a dozen silver missiles appeared in the air around the figure.

It's an extraordinary projectile technique!

After a moment's pause, the missiles each followed a smooth but unpredictable trajectory and shot towards Shabolai.

The scene was like a meteor shower, and the dense chirping of missiles was like a swarm of bees, which made people's scalps explode just by listening to it.

Rosen shook his heart: "It's 16 pieces, what about rocket artillery?"

Even if you use various spell casting skills, at this moment, the opponent's spell casting ability is as high as 20 lines.

It's simply inhuman!

After another moment, the sword light struck the shield of protection, and the light shield trembled violently, turning into a point of light and disappearing without a trace, and although the sword light did not collapse, its brightness also decreased to one-third of its original light.

With this momentary delay, the black shadow was able to change direction in the air, and dodged the sword by a fraction of a second.

But on the other hand, the situation of Chapole is not so good.

There are too many silver missiles, far beyond the limits of ordinary martial arts.

In desperation, Xia Bolai could only burst into a loud shout, and a rich silver glow appeared all over his body.

Silver Moon Skill: Full Moon Starlight.

'Puff puff~'

Missiles slammed into the light one after another, like a torrential rain slapping on a plantain leaf, shaking the silver light for a while.

The powerful impact of the missile explosion forced Shabolai to sink his center of gravity to maintain his balance.

When the missile completely dissipated, look at the sky again, but where is there still a trace of a black shadow?

Shabolai was angry and helpless, and roared aggrievedly.

"Damn mage, are you only clever? Have the ability to stand up and fight me in an honest duel! ”

Rosen hid in the dark on the street corner, clearly saw this scene, and also recognized the true identity of the black shadow in the sky.

It was none other than his own magic teacher, Anna. Thrandis.

Three spells, one Flying, one Silver Moon Shield of Protection, and one Missile Sixteen Combos.

The three techniques are juxtaposed, and the inhuman 20-line spell casts the spell, forcing back the high-level warriors head-on with the power of the middle level, which is a cut stronger than the original Cyrus.

"No, I have to help the mentor get out."

How can it help? Simple.

At this time, the biggest threat to the mentor is Shapole, just drag him down.

Rosen was about to call out to Shapole's back.

Before he could say anything, another man rushed from the front.

This man had blond hair and blue eyes, a handsome face, was dressed in fine leather armor, a silver one-handed sword in his right hand, and a heavy steel round shield in his left hand, which was none other than the bounty hunter Olek, whom he had seen before.

His appearance is so brilliant that he is simply a perfect warrior.

He ran wildly and shouted.

"Shabolai, I hit her! I hit her! I put her mask down! ”

He holds a black leather mask in his hand.

Lawson, who was hiding in the shadows, tightened his heart: "Is the mentor injured?" ”

Shabolai was overjoyed: "You hurt her? ”

Olek spread his hands: "It didn't hurt, but she took off the mask while she was unprepared." ”

Shabolai's face was full of chagrin: "But what is the use of just one face?"

Olek smirked: "Hehe, look at me."

As he spoke, Olek threw the mask into the sky, stabbed the long sword in his hand violently, piercing the mask at once, and shouting at the same time.

"Soul of the hound, please show me the way!"

A faint golden light lit up on the long sword, and after rushing into the mask, it instantly turned into ashes, and in the ashes, a faint white light rose, drawing a long white band of light, guiding a certain direction.

Olek looked happy: "The hound soul has answered me." Let's follow the white light! ”

Xia Bolai was also overjoyed: "Your spell is really practical. Now I'll see where that is going! ”

The two of them followed the guidance of the blood light and quickly rushed towards the darkness in front of them.

When they were a little farther away, Rosen hurriedly followed from a distance under the cover of the shadows of the buildings on the street.

If it was only Shapole, he would not hesitate to show up and call him, but with this guy Olek, the situation is a little complicated.

The speed of the white light in the sky was not fast, so the two samurai did not run fast, and Lawson did not have any difficulty chasing after him, and even had time to hide in the dark to rest.

So, a group of four people, one is on the run, two are chasing, and one is hiding in the dark to observe.

Gradually, they left the confines of the southern city market and gradually came to the Yellow Water River in the middle of the city.

At this time, everyone else was left behind, and the chaos of the streets was gone.

The moonlight from the sky poured down, staining the ground with a cold layer of white frost.

Just by the river, the three people in the rear finally caught up with the black shadow.

The dark shadow was standing on a ferryboat in the middle of the river, which was already at least fifty meters away from the riverbank.

A samurai chasing a powerful mage in the river is almost the same as committing suicide!

Therefore, even if Shabolai saw the target, he could only stand on the shore and cry out in vain.

But Olek still has a trick, he smiled slightly: "Don't worry, look at me." ”

The long sword pointed at the sky, and chanted the incantation loudly: "Frost soul, listen to my call and pave the way of frost for me~"

With the spell, a thick white light began to gather on the sword's body, and the temperature in the vicinity plummeted.

In the dark, when Rosen saw this scene, his heart tightened: "It's not good, I'm afraid this guy is going to pave the ice road!" ”

If it were just Shapole alone, even if the ice road was paved, it would not be able to threaten Thrandis, but if you add this mysterious Olek, it is difficult to say.

"What should I do?"

The lightning flashed in Lawson's heart, and two ideas came to him.

Either show up and call out to Shapole, or secretly help.

In a flash of thought, Rosen chose the latter.

Because the situation is too complicated, especially the unknown origin of Olek, and the spell is still weird, if he dares to surface himself, he will lose the initiative.

The other side.

After converging for about three seconds, Olek pointed the tip of his sword towards the river: "Go~~"

'Ka Rub ~ T Ka Rub ~'

The rich white light fell into the river, and the surface of the water immediately froze, turning into an ice path more than 3 meters wide, which quickly stretched towards the boat of Thrandis.

Xia Bolai laughed: "Ha~ I really have you." ”

He was about to jump onto the ice.

'Whoosh~~~ Bang! ’

In the midst of the roar of the air, a black dot fell from the sky at a terrible speed and struck the thick plank by the pier on the riverbank.

The planks violently exploded into a large hole of twenty or thirty centimeters, and sawdust flew everywhere, and some of them hit Shabolai's body, and it hurt and hurt.

'Boom~~~'

Almost at the same time, another yellow-red point of light fell silently from the sky and hit the ice, making a loud noise, blasting a large hole several meters in diameter on the ice.

The ice road on the river was broken in two on the spot!

Xia Bolai was taken aback: "The golden god is above, and there are even accomplices!" ”

A powerful throw from the sky, an extraordinary missile that flies silently, this accomplice is not an ordinary person!

There are at least two reinforcements, and they are both mages, and judging by the power of the missile, it seems that they are also a mid-level mage.

Olek was also slightly surprised, and spread his hands helplessly: "Then there is no way to chase it." ”

Originally, two to one could fight, but now it suddenly becomes two to three, and it is still fighting on the river, which is very dangerous.

On the other side, Thrandis, who was in the center of the river, also heard the movement behind him and turned his head to look.

As you can see, she was also surprised.

But in this way, her face was also clearly exposed to the moonlight.

Through the reflection of the moonlight, Chapolai saw the face of the black shadow clearly, and a thick incredulity suddenly appeared on his face.

"Anna! It's you! ”

He recognized Thrandis' identity.

Rosen frowned.

"Mentor, why don't you run away, why do you turn around?"

The identity is exposed, and this is really troublesome.

On the ferry, Thrandis heard Chapole's words, and a word came back from the river.

"What you see with your eyes is not necessarily the truth."

The voice is soft and indifferent, like a dandelion dancing under the bright moon and clear light.

It was obviously coming from more than fifty meters away, but it clearly sounded in everyone's ears, including Lawson.

Lawson, who was hiding in the shadows, was annoyed, and when he heard this, his heart moved slightly.

"The voice of the heart is a sound transmission spell, the mentor has found me, no, no, it seems to be said to me."

On the other hand, Shabolai was surprised and angry, and he didn't listen at all.

"Anna, I didn't expect you to become like this!"

"Why have you become so cold-blooded and ruthless! Why would you do such a murderous thing! ”

Olek on the side was also surprised: "Shabolai, do you know her?" ”

Shabolai's face was already full of pain.

"yes, I know her."

"She is the most outstanding mage of the younger generation in Silvermoon City, she has the mana of the middle peak at a young age, and she has extraordinary spell-casting ability, and she has even been personally received by her wife."

"I thought she was just crazy and her essence was good, but I didn't expect it...... I didn't expect wow! ”

Extreme pain turned to extreme anger, and he raised his sword and roared loudly at the dark shadow in the middle of the river.

"Anna. Thrandis, wherever you flee, even if you escape from the Golden Lands, to the Frost Lands, to the Volcanic Heights, I will catch you! I'm sure I'll catch you! ”

In the middle of the Yellow Water River, Anna controls the ferry boat to quickly go down the river.

She no longer looked at the pursuers on the shore, nor did she respond to Shabolai's anger, as if the two were one ball of air.

The two warriors stopped by the river for a long time, until they could not see Thrandis, and then they reluctantly turned back.

Olek asked, "Are you sure she did it?" I don't think so. ”

Shabolai was much calmer, and he spread his hands and sighed.

"It's definitely her. When I saw her, she was standing next to the corpse with a blood-stained knife in her hand. ”

Olek thought for a moment and said, "Since Anna is your friend and now she has run away, then this matter will simply be forgotten, right?" ”

Shabol shook his head resolutely: "No, you can't forget it. I'm going to get her, I'm going to ask why she's doing this! ”

Olek shrugged: "It's not easy to know the reason? Why do you have to catch someone? ”

Xia Bolai was stunned: "What do you say?" ”

"We can go and search her house, and we'll always find clues, won't we?"

"Accommodation...... Oops, oops! ”

As if he remembered something, he suddenly slapped his head, and then pulled his legs and ran wildly towards the market in the south of the city.

Olek hurriedly caught up: "Shabolai, what's the matter?" ”

Xia Bolai looked anxious: "Rosen still remembers, right?" He was Anna's freshly accepted apprentice, and he lived in Anna's house. The golden god is above, my little brother must not have an accident! ”

Olek also immediately accelerated: "Shabolai, wait for me, let's take care of each other together!" ”

In the dark, after watching the two run away, Lawson fell into deep thought.

"What the eye sees is not necessarily the truth."

There seems to be a deep meaning to these words.

"After the mentor revealed his identity, he specially said such a sentence to me, what does it mean?"

Although they have been studying with Thrandis for almost two weeks, the relationship between the two parties is actually familiar and strange.

Rosen was still in a state of ignorance of Thrandis's thoughts, her deep character.

He always felt that tonight's incident, no, it was a whole murder case in the south of the city, and there was an inexplicable and strange atmosphere.

"No matter what it means, I'll go back and secretly investigate the basic situation first."
