Chapter 193: Fear

The late summer gusts of wind still haven't stopped, and the gusts of wind blow the ruined debris on the ground and through the flame-burned buildings, bringing with them a foul smell that irritates the nostrils.

The fire continued, but the terrifying tornado of flames had dissipated. It is unknown whether Abbot François used a spell to cut off the flames' oxygen supply, or if a nearby sorcerer used some other method to extinguish the flames...... Either way, it's good news for the academy.

However, there was no sign of reinforcements from the city, and the roar of spells from sporadic battles in the academy was still scattered from all over the academy.

Telephone lines connecting the city had been cut off, and in the worst case, all the roads leading to the college around the college, including bridges and roads, had been blasted. Therefore, it will take a considerable amount of time for both the garrison and the garrison of the Governor's Palace to arrive.

If the True Eyes want to make a bigger mess, they might even send a small group of elites to attack the army's garrison. Just as they had done, creating a dryad near the barracks that could emit poison gas would put them in trouble.

Not far in front of Lizzie, a figure in a black robe stood on the other side of the boulevard. He was covered in black robes that looked exactly like the dead bodies on the ground, and even his head and face were covered by a mask, and he couldn't see even the only eyes that were exposed.

"Could you please tell me about your plans, Jon? Lizzie leaned her entire weight on the trunk of the tree, gasping for some difficulty. "I don't want to know much, you just need to tell me what you know. ”

Although she couldn't see the other party's face at all, she calmly revealed his identity. Jon Fried. The young apprentice who belonged to the same class as him in the theory department was one of the few people she remembered, the class leader who had been enthusiastically helping him since she entered the school.

I don't know if it's because Liqi's correct way has broken his identity, and the black shadow that is slowly approaching suddenly stops, and his actions become a little hesitant. He stared at Liqi in silence, not knowing what he was thinking, and the wooden staff in his hand kept raising and lowering.

Covered in blood and stains, the black girl still maintained her usual lazy expression. It's like those are nothing more than illusions. She stretched, as if she were talking in a classroom every day, and Lizzie said in a brisk tone as if it had nothing to do with her.

Unfortunately, this is clearly not a good place to talk. Whether it's the blazing flames or the corpses lying to the side, they all declare that this is the edge of the battlefield.

The sweet smell of blood spread all around, and the lifeless remains of the young man collapsed at Lizzie's feet, but the girl didn't care about his existence. After all, one or two corpses are not a rare thing for her. Even if you put it in front of your eyes, you won't be touched.

Anywhere. Death is just a common phenomenon, and there are dead people every minute and every second in the world, and the difference is only whether the body is with you or not. If there is anything to be thankful for, it is probably the fact that the corpse that appeared in front of him was not someone he knew.

Not only Liqi, but even the black-robed man didn't care about the corpse of the young man who fell to the ground. If he was shaken by Lizzie's words, the sight of the young man's dead body was as emotionless as if he were looking at a pile of rubble, except for the clothes on his body that showed that the two belonged to the same organization. There is no connection between the two, not even the intimacy that should be felt as companions.

Watching the black run in a tangle. Lizzie decided to continue, she took a big breath of air, and said with some slurred words, "I don't know if you've learned, but you can rely on more than just the information provided by appearances, after all, these can be forged with spells. ”

The use of information that modifies the appearance of the target to obscure the perception of the target's form is the basis of the illusion school, and such a spell is attached to the black robes provided to these operatives by the True Eye. It is indeed difficult to identify him just by looking at their appearance.

"You should probably take that hood off too. Lizzie smiled, as if looking down at the other party, "Each person's magic power is different, if you don't use some special means to cover it, then you can use the corresponding form to analyze the identity of the object." ”

Literally reading from the book, Lizzie gently raised her finger and drew a lenticular pattern in front of her. A faint white spell was reflected in the air as she smeared, and then gradually transformed into the shape of a tree branch, looming in the air.

In an instant, the pattern of the magic changed to another color, just like the blue that was deliberately adapted to Jon's style of words and actions, but it was slightly duller than the usual blue. The intricate and delicate patterns form a complex pattern that is more detailed than the glass crafts carved by craftsmen.

"You've come to this point, don't you want to pretend to be someone else passing by? If that's the case, you wouldn't have to rush over in the first place. Feeling the wavering hidden beneath the silence of the other party, Lizzie continued, "Speaking of which, why did you join them? Although the Eye of True Vision is expanding its influence by various means, you should not be 'favored' by them. ”

Even though she already knew something about the True Eye, Lizzie still couldn't figure out the conditions under which they chose their pieces. From the poor living at the bottom of the city to the violent gangs active on the edge of darkness, many seemingly unrelated people have become props in their hands.

Just like Danfoss and his apprentices, there are naturally apprentices in the academy who have become outcasts in the hands of the "True Eye". Although she was mentally prepared, Lizzie was a little surprised when Jon, dressed in the standard black robe of the True Eye, appeared in front of her.

"Why, exactly?"

A dry sigh came from under the black hood: "This question happens to be what I want to ask you." Miss Leinster, who are you, why are you here—and most importantly...... Why would you be targeted by those people?"

Now that the identity has been recognized, there is no point in covering it up any longer. With a heavy sigh, he took off the black mask that covered his face without hesitation, and a moment later, Jon Fried's familiar face appeared in front of Lizzie's eyes.

The young man's face was as gentle as ever, but he had lost that sense of maturity that he was comfortable with. A brown head lay on his stomach without energy, and his hazel eyes were full of tiredness. Obviously, the events of this time have tormented his spirit.

Whether it's coercion or slogans like so-called righteousness, the True Eye will always use some methods to drive some people to serve them, and it seems that Jon is also one of them.

"Is this your curiosity?"

Lizzie suddenly sneered, and she looked at Jon, keeping her usual expression unchanged: "So it's easy to say, I satisfy your curiosity, and then you satisfy my curiosity - I tell you what you want to know, and in exchange, you should tell me what I want to know." ”

It's not a deal, of course, but a proposal made as a "friend" - and it's because Jon knows someone he knows that he proposes it. Lizzie looked at the teenager opposite with a sincere smile, not in a hurry to let him make a choice in a short time.

It's not just "satisfying curiosity", and Lizzie's persuasion now is tantamount to making Jon ignore his own important things and betray the decisions made by those above. There's no doubt that it's not just about exposing Jon himself to the threat of the Eye of Truth.

"Miss Leinster...... Do you really know how terrible those people are?" Jon's voice trembled, the summer heat had not yet dissipated, but he seemed to come out of the middle of winter, "Maybe they won't kill you or me directly, but they will definitely execute the betrayer by a more brutal means than killing." ”

It was only after he knew the power of the True Eyes that he chose to bend to their will. But this girl, whose background is more eccentric than the group that now controls him, doesn't care about any of this at all. He had a feeling that her search for the truth seemed to be motivated by more than curiosity.

But Lizzie laughed, and laughed out loud at the prospect of a tragic outcome: "Terrible? I don't know how terrible those cowards are, but I don't know what? Even if I fear them, or serve them, will I be able to preserve what I hold dear?"

Some people succumb to violence because of the fear of violence, and end up becoming vassals of the owners of violence, taking away even the last bit of what they have. Sometimes compromise and concession only allow the malicious ones to gain an inch, allowing them to gradually eat away at the things they once valued.

"Let me sue you, Jon Fried. There is only one option before you, tell me all I know now, and join us on our side. Because only in this way can both you and what you wish to be able to protect be protected in the true sense of the word. ”

The black girl no longer leaned her back against the trunk of the tree, but slowly moved her steps to approach the boy standing opposite. The colossal non-human magic flowed from Lizzie's body and slowly seeped into the surrounding land, and the darkness around her flowed with her movements, as if to bow down to the diminutive girl.

Faced with Lizzie's condescending momentum, Jon took an unnatural step back. She was a lot shorter than herself, but Jon had the feeling of being looked down on. Compared to those people with the True Eye, the aura emanating from this girl's body made him feel more terrifying.

"To answer your first question, what kind of person am I' -- I can't be a 'human' to be exact, but just a humanoid natural disaster. ”

The monster with the appearance of a girl chuckled softly. (To be continued!)
