Chapter Fifty-Seven: Chance Encounters and Sieges
Ryan felt relieved.
He was glad to see that Althea had come forward and said that she would be part of the operation.
In Ryan's opinion, since he chose to take risks with Athea, he must be responsible to the other party.
He wanted to see Althea grow into a great mage, and now Althea not only had the talent to be a great mage, but also the responsibility to be a great mage.
So Ryan tells Bandy not to worry, that Althea has already made her choice, and now what we need you to do is take us to where Anping lives.
And the sooner the better!
Seeing the attitude of the two young men full of determination and determination, Bandy felt very helpless, but because of this, considering the urgency of the situation, if they continued to stay here, the greater the danger for Ann and Amy, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "Come with me!" β
"It seems that because he didn't make a move to rescue Aithea at that time, he asked him to see Aithea as a girl who needs protection," Ryan thought interestingly, "On a certain level, it's actually right to think so, Aithea has not yet succeeded in memorizing the Three Rings Spell to become a first-level mage, but it's a pity that Bandy doesn't know that she hasn't even practiced spells for more than half a year, or more precisely, it's just four months!" β
Thinking of this, Ryan inexplicably felt a sense of anticipation rise in his heart.
He was eager to see how surprised Bandy would be when he saw Aithea cast a spell.
"Quick, follow me, I know a shortcut!" Bandy turned into an alley, "We must tell Ann the news before the Black Snake Gang finds her!" β
"Okay."
Ryan agreed in a deep voice.
Next, the three of them on the road reduced the frequency of communication and hurried towards the slum street where An usually lived, but what Ryan didn't expect was that when they crossed an alley to a wide street and were about to continue deeper into the slum in front of them, they actually saw Orpheus and his paladin companions again.
"Ryan, Althea," Orpheus said happily, "it's great that I didn't expect to see you again at parting!" β
Ryan nodded briefly, "I'm glad to meet you, too, but now is not the time to talk about this, come with me, someone may be in danger later!" β
This is where the Paladin is most different from other professions.
When explaining something similar to a paladin, they never need to be negotiable, because their strength comes from the noble pursuit of "goodness" and "justice" and the oath they have made, so they often do not hesitate to agree to similar incidents.
As Ryan thought, Orpheus immediately agreed when he heard it, and at the same time looked back at the six companions behind him who were watching him waiting for orders, and said loudly, "Everyone, follow me!" β
With Orpheus and his companions joining, the number of rescuers has grown from three to ten, and they are led by Bandy in front of them, quickly passing through a seemingly impossible place to a fork in the road.
"Phew, huh, fuck it...... I hope I can catch up," Bandy gasped, scolding, and stood on the spot for a while, pointing to the road slightly ahead, "...... forward"
"Shh
"No, it's not."
Ryan raised his hand and motioned for the halfling to be quiet.
There is a specialization in the art industry.
The strength of the paladins and the intelligence of Aithea are the best things about them, and the best thing about Ryan as a ranger, besides his agility, is his perception.
"It's not this way, it's the other side," Ryan said with a frown, "and there's a clear fighting sound in that place, it must have been from Ann and the Black Snake Gang!" This girl deliberately avoided the way home, she should have realized something, go, let's go right away! β
β¦β¦
"Whew."
"Whew."
Ann felt that her breathing began to become more rapid, and the picture in her eyes became more and more blurry, as a warrior monk of the Sanda Sect by profession, and also as an experienced thug, she knew that her current state had finally reached the limit.
An couldn't help but clench her palms harder.
She thought she might one day lose to a stronger opponent in the ring.
The opponent can be a barbarian nation from a distant island, or an experienced veteran.
But!
Falling in this way is unacceptable to Ann.
Let alone.
She also has Amy.
No!
You can't fall down yourself!
An bit the tip of her tongue very hard, feeling the taste of blood; She had heard that a warrior monk who chose Sanda Sect as his career path could triple his life with a specific action, and that he could use it again after a long break, but she had not yet mastered the secret, so she could only use it in a painful way.
"Amy."
"Don't worry, I swore I would protect you."
Ann kicked off her shoes and looked resolutely at the several opponents from the Black Snake Gang who were besieging her.
"And if I can't, at least I'll choose to fight to the death for you."
At this moment, a voice came from ahead.
"Ann, admit defeat."
"If you kill our people, we will deal with you severely, but for the sake of the benefits you have brought to the gang in the past, we can promise to help you cure Amy."
"We all know that she's the most important thing to you."
"So, I want you to think it through!"
These words were uttered by a man of strong build.
In the past, Ann would never have regarded this kind of person as a great opponent.
But now, he has become the biggest threat to himself.
However, Ann believes that the other party is the same, otherwise the other party would not be able to say such useless nonsense to herself.
"Throw in the towel? Do you think I'll be so naΓ―ve? β
Ann took a deep breath.
She knew that the winner would be decided in less than ten seconds, and that she would be in this place forever.
"I'm sorry, Amy, but I'm not strong enough to protect you."
Ann muttered softly.
Can.
Just when Ann was ready to die.
A shout suddenly came.
"Wicked one! Standing in front of you are the holy warriors of Tyre, the god of justice, and you are surrounded by us, so take them immediately! β
Paladin?
How did they end up in this place?
Before An could think clearly, a steel arrow had already flown past her ear and pierced the throat of the person who had just spoken!
