Although Lilu was planning to make a big news, things were still different from what she imagined - when the three of them searched the entire underground cell and couldn't find their teacher, even if they felt strange, they had to admit that Luna was probably no longer here.
"There is almost no reason to change the place of imprisonment temporarily, the elf must have escaped from this place, right?"
Hearing that Skarsa had also made such a judgment, Lilu finally breathed a sigh of relief - even the black qi that had been slightly wrapped around her body before dissipated in an instant.
"That's great! Otherwise, I'm still struggling with what to do next--since Sister Luna is out of danger, there's no need to ...... Hey......"
Hina really thinks it's too late to play stupid at this time, right?
What Hina didn't expect was that the chief mage of the Mage Guild, who seemed to be reliable, was actually a restless guy at heart - she, like Lilou, belonged to the genre of "light growing up and sneaking in...... Along the way, they rushed in through the main gate and through the avenue, but before the guards could resist, one of them knocked them to the ground.
Well, the two men were so quick that neither of them had time to raise the alarm, not even to alarm their companions across a wall, and fell headlong to the ground.5 In a sense, this is indeed a "perfect infiltration" that does not alarm anyone, right?
...... Perfect ghost!
As a genuine assassin, Sheena said that this kind of evil is absolutely unacceptable!
At first, she thought that Master Mage was a rare conscience in the association, but now it seems. It's not like that at all—I was talking about sneaking in or something, but I was just talking about it, right? Now Sheena was very skeptical. This guy didn't think there was any need to pretend to be a good baby because he saw that Lilu was also going crazy...... To avoid causing a magic alarm in the dungeon. This man just raised his fist!
But then again, thanks to Skassa's "good example" in front, Lilou also went crazy with her, and in the end she just knocked those guards unconscious on the spot, and didn't really want to kill like she had done before...... Could this be something that Skarsa did on purpose?
Thinking about it, Sheena felt even more incomprehensible - she stole a glance at the mage who was walking in front, and when the aura of nonexistent in Lilou's body dissipated, Skassa's body. Obviously, there was also a relaxing movement.
"Do you need to find one or two people to 'ask' about it?"
"There is no need, if there are really people who are in the know, most of them have already been disposed of - there is no reason for people who have made such serious mistakes in their work to be kept...... Those people have never been soft-hearted. ”
Izkazar's knowledge of the court mages and the ruthless emperor could never have been left untouched.
"Now that we're here, it's a rare opportunity, and I want to 'explore' it down. Are you interested?"
Sheena's body twitched immediately.
Even if she wasn't a mage, she could use guò's own perception to discover that further down the dungeon was a very uncomfortable smell. And the bad reviews of the dark magicians. That's something that even a lot of murderous guys shy away from - Sheena once took a commission to assassinate a certain dark mage, and after three days she saw the flesh and wanted to vomit.
The psychological shadow is quite strict.
"This ...... I feel like I hate it below, eh......"
Obviously, there was a faint posture of going to be completely blackened before. But at this moment, when she heard that she was going to go down to explore the "masterpieces" that the dark magicians might have, Lilu was also intimidated.
"Ahh It doesn't matter - if you two are interested. I'm going to feel a little scary, right? Normal people don't have the slightest interest in that kind of place...... Well, why don't you get out of here first? Even if I'm alone, I don't have to worry about anything. ”
Anyway, they all slammed the door and came in, and as long as those people's IQs didn't drop to single digits, it was easy to understand who did it. Skasa knows very well that the fundamental reason why these black mages are in power is that the current emperor trusts them very much, and there is such a person in the hostile camp, Skasa is usually tied up in various ways - anyway, today's actions are almost equivalent to tearing his face, and Skasa feels that at this time, there is no need to pretend to be a family wine anymore.
I am usually very interested in this place, but because of the suppression of the Mage Academy by the strength of the palace side, Skassar's side has not dared to act rashly. This time it just happened, it was similar to the nature of "borrowing wine and spilling", right?
"I'm afraid not. ”
Lilu suddenly looked up at the ceiling above her head, "Someone isn't going to let us go." ”
"When?"
Skarsa immediately realized that the dungeon where he and the others were located was surrounded by a powerful barrier. And this qiē came so suddenly, it even hid from Skasa's eyes—if it was an enchantment arranged in advance, there was no reason to escape her eyes, and Skasa still had this confidence.
Since it is unlikely that it was preset in advance, how can there be a possibility, isn't it?
This enchantment was just now, and it was cast on the spot by people. And the magician who can do this, Skarsa knows, there is not only one camp that is hostile to him.
"It's all here...... It seems that the previous 'accident' made them very annoyed. ”
Without much analysis, Skarsa immediately understood that this enchantment only specialized the effect of imprisonment, and did not have other miscellaneous abilities - obviously, the person who arranged the enchantment was just trying to prevent himself and others from escaping from here. As for how to capture themselves and others, it is obvious that they have other plans.
Or rather, there is another self-confidence...... They probably feel they have no reason to fail. All that has to be considered is to avoid a fleeing enemy. Just slipping away from this dungeon.
"They are...... Are those court mages you were talking about earlier?"
"Be careful...... Although this is a group of guys who have gone into the evil way, in terms of fighting and killing. It's a lot stronger than that. ”
On the other side, Hina had already held the dagger in her hand, and drew a silver arc in a certain direction in the air - the dagger strengthened by Lilou, the powerful positive energy that specialized combat performance on it, immediately reacted with something that could not be seen with the naked eye.
"Shhhh
There was a heart-stopping scream, like the screams of livestock on a red-hot iron...... It sounds like it hurts.
"What is this!?"
Sheena didn't expect that what she had cut down would be such a thing - she looked at the part of the ground that had become charred. The remains of the creature could barely be seen in their original form, and I couldn't help but feel my scalp tingle.
She had felt the invisible threat before, and she thought it was something, but she didn't expect it to be a disgusting creature that was constantly writhing like a leech.
"Here, there's a lot of the same thing...... It's getting closer to us!"
These creatures transformed by dark magic seem to possess extremely powerful invisibility abilities, but Sheena can still sense their existence - not because of her keen insight, but because of being an assassin who wanders between blades. For those who are aggressive towards themselves, it's just sensitive.
And now, what Sheena felt was countless abnormal killings like appetite...... The writhing monsters. In the thirst for their own blood......
"It's really a little bit of attack power, is it? It's a little disgusting......
When Skarsa saw the appearance of the leech monster on the ground, he also knew that it must be some kind of creation that had been transformed by black magic. A dagger modified by Lilou. Being able to cause great damage to them means that their transformation process is not very high. Completely transformed. Powerful dark magic monsters, such positive energy can only cause suppression. There is no reason why such a complete annihilation could have been achieved. 、
"They're not meant to attack!"
Hina carefully reflected on her past experience and made a judgment with great conviction: "This feeling...... It's very similar to what I've been targeted by hounds before! they're there to track our whereabouts, and under the conditions of our blood, I'm afraid it's our blood...... Tsk, but they also seem to have strengthened the bloodthirsty habits of these guys!"
"That's right! These modified leeches can smell blood within a kilometer, and if it weren't for the smell of blood from a strong man like you, these little things would have wanted to attack a living creature around them as soon as they were released - if you escaped their tracking distance, they would probably have gone looking for other creatures nearby to vent their appetite, right?"
The main lord also showed his face.
From Sheena's surroundings, several figures emerged one after another. Lilou and Sheena were relatively new to them, but Skassar was all too familiar with them - indeed, the obscure court mages he had jotted down in his little notebook of death.
This can be regarded as both surprised and a little excited for Skasa.
I was surprised that they would take the initiative to arrest themselves, and they were excited...... Saving her the trouble of finding someone.
"Is that a threat?"
Sheena quickly reacted - these guys were threatening the lives of the city's inhabitants against her. If that kind of transparent and invisible bloodthirsty monster is really put into the city by them, it is estimated that before the army acts, there must be a street of people who will be eaten by them!
"We believe that Miss Elf will not be so cold-blooded and ruthless~"
Are they certain that Lilou will never tolerate the death of innocent people because of their own problems? Indeed, the elves are born with a kind nature......
"Calm down, Lilou. It may sound a little hard for you to accept, but in human society, there are many such types of guys. Seeing that Lilu was already showing signs of rushing forward, Sheena quickly grabbed her, "Relax." No one will run away. ”
Sheena could probably understand the other party's intentions.
I should have seen the configuration of this team and felt that there were magicians and assassins in the team. It's hard to be on the same page with the elven girl at this time, right? After all, she and Skasa are both human. Moreover, the profession that comes out of the table is also a mage and an assassin who is not used to being just positive...... Generally speaking, the "strategic retreat" of Huizhou City is a relatively normal and common decision.
In this way, it is inevitable that there will be differences of opinion with the elf girl.
I have to say that these court mages are all scheming - Hina knows that if it weren't for the special situation between her and Skasa, I'm afraid that the other party's strategy would play a big role. Before the start of the war, there was an internal conflict in his own team. It's hard not to fail.
However, they miscalculated the strength of their opponents.
"Right...... Oh yes. ”
Lilu's face turned red, and when Sheena saw through her thoughts, she became shy on the spot. Because she did subconsciously have the idea that Hina and Skasa would choose to retreat...... Although it was only for a moment, she also showed a rash attitude because of this, in another sense, this is distrust of her teammates.
"Aha, it looks like we're humans. It's a little embarrassing......"
Skasa moved the joints of her body, and as a mage, she didn't care about making a move in front of the "peers" that did not conform to the image of the mage - the joints of Skasa's limbs. There was a sound like fried beans.
"Useless thoughts...... That's why you're always looked down upon. ”
Estimate the image of themselves, in their hearts. Probably the most susceptible coward to retreat, Skasa walked in front of Sheena and Lilou with great displeasure. is obviously wearing a mage's equipment, but the action he makes is the posture of a big sister.
"Sure enough...... You're a student of the old men of the guild who have become moldy and rusty, right? It's all over the musty smell!"
Just as the traditional mages like Scarza (who do not consider themselves "orthodox") are very resistant to those dark mages who "find a different way", in turn, the black mages are also very contemptuous of the mainstream mages, especially those who are the strongest and most "old-fashioned and conservative" in their thinking.
In the eyes of many of them, they hold the mysterious power of magic, but they are comfortably hiding in the corner doing research, and these guild mages are also the type of criminals with sick brains. As long as they have the heart, they can completely obtain the incomparable social status and wealth, but until now, the evaluation of the Mage Association in the eyes of outsiders is not very good...... Doesn't this prove that the traditional school of magic is no longer suitable for the development of the times?
Now those young traditional mages are gradually having similar thoughts, but they are not as flamboyant and aggressive as these dark mages after all. As a result, there is a strange situation in which these guys, who should be treated as street rats, have instead become the spokespersons of the "emerging school".
"Why do I think those old guys are so much more energetic than you guys who look like the living dead?"
Thinking about the lolias who should still be making trouble on the street now, Skasa really doesn't think that the description "moldy" can be applied to this group of people.
Are these magicians really because of their transformation into a big change in temperament?
Of course not.,In fact, they originally had such a character.,It's just that,In the process of loliization,The behavior pattern inevitably received the negative impact of age changes.。 Moreover, if you really want to say it, the behavior of such a group of people who do not seem to be so disobedient to the behavior of children does not mean that their childlike innocence has never been forgotten?
Scamsa does not think that even after decades or even nearly a hundred years, a person who has not renounced "innocence" from the depths of his heart will be a decadent and backward person—a person who has not always maintained a positive and optimistic heart, he will not be able to do this.
Skarsa hated the other party's statement.
Others may be able to give some advice to his friends, but those who use the power of magic in evil ways are not qualified to make irresponsible comments.
"It just so happens that you have fallen into a bad reputation for bullying the old and the young (as far as it is...... Bullying children in a sense) - I don't like you guys anyway, so it's okay to take their place and fight you guys. ”
"Oh, do you know what that means if you're here to do it with us?"
When he saw Skasa, it seemed that he was going to do something with himself and others. Those court mages also showed a playful smile: "Are you going to replace your teacher, or are you going to replace the association......
"Put that disgusting smile away for me!"
Skasa looked at each other with a look of disgust: "Don't play this game anymore! I'm standing with an elf, and you can hold on to that. It is said that the association and the elves are colluding together, and they are traitors to human society or something...... Oh, I'm panicking, okay?"
Skarsa was the first to speak their minds, apparently disrupting the expectations of these people.
"Some people are just too lazy to use their brains in those aspects that they don't have, doesn't it mean that they are really stupid, okay? Don't say whether I can represent the association, I'll just throw out the words now - our association is colluding with the elves, what can you do with me?"
"Let's figure out the reality. Skarsa took a step forward, and Lilou and Sheena tacitly followed her, "We didn't have to run away from the desert today—we're here to fight you." ”
Time. In the direction of the palace mage, the momentum was suddenly pressed down by a large stubble.
It's great that Skasa has two teammates who know what they mean...... Although she just said a lot of good things to her friends, in all fairness, sometimes it was really the pig teammates who came - or these two girls were lively! I don't know if this accident led to the collective being turned into a group, can the emotional intelligence be slightly strengthened because of the change of gender...... A little bit is fine, Skarsa said not to ask for much.
"You probably think assassins are going to be men with their tails between their legs, right?"
With a smile on her face, Sheena drew her usual longsword and placed it on her right hand. The previous dagger, which was more lethal, was replaced with the left hand.
"But unfortunately, the Assassin struck a blow away, and that was in the normal course of his mission—once the hatred was involved. Occasionally try to play the same tactics as a mad dog, and no one will talk nonsense, right? hey, hey, hey, hey, hey......, hey
Instead of startling the other side first, it startled her teammates - Skasa looked at Lilou in surprise. As a result, in the latter's forehead and eyes, all he received was a blank look.
Lilou says she doesn't know either!
But now it looks -- how it looks. Sheena seems to have an unusual enmity with these people...... Oh yes, Sheena's side is hateful stuff......
"Sheena...... Is your sister ......?"
"Ah, although intelligence and information. It's really rare, very few -- but I still found some clues. All the arrows are pointing at these bastards. Hum...... Do you know how difficult it is to get a person to hold back the ** of revenge?"
In Lilou's eyes, Sheena's face now has a touch of madness that she has never seen before.
"However, the enemy sent his own head up for me to cut off, this should not conflict with the original oath, right? After all, I just said that I will not take the initiative to seek revenge, and I must live well...... So it shouldn't matter if you cut a few people, right?"
-- It's amazing.
Sheena thought excitedly.
For a sister, her sister's last wish before death is undoubtedly sacred and inviolable, so even if her sister's request is so unacceptable, Hina still carries it out.
She's doing it for her own good—Sheena understands.
Although Sheena later had the strength to take revenge, she continued to choose to follow her sister's ideas...... There is no other reason, you can't survive if you kill the enemy's sister, but to kill them is tantamount to breaking your oath.
You don't have to worry about that now, do you?
One by one, they all jumped out on their own!
"This ...... Are girls nowadays so easy to get black?"
Skasa said there was a lot of pressure. (To be continued......)
