"According to my father, the alleys of many cities are very dangerous, and they are full of hooligans and outlaws...... But this is Nazca City! There are some very nasty guys at times, but it's definitely not like those cities, where you need to be armed to walk the alleys!"

Lisa proudly walks Lynn through the alleys - looking at her familiar appearance, she doesn't look like the kind of otaku girl who "rarely goes out" as her uncle said.

Listening to what she said, it seems that there really exist "dark alleys that cannot be entered" in this world. I don't know what the road is, Lin's first reaction is that she has read a lot of books in the past, and the girl strayed into a small alley or something...... Ahem.

"Is the security here really so good?"

"Of course, unlike other places, the city is lit up at night, and with the efforts of the lord and the city guards, even the bad guys with bad intentions have to be careful to be men with their tails between their legs. ”

Lisa is still very proud of the city she lives in.

"Speaking of which, the place we are going to now is the city guard station in the north! This is also the characteristic of Nazca City - in order to ensure the timeliness of dealing with emergencies, the civilians here can go directly to the city guard station to report some emergencies, and will not stop you with an ax at the gate like other cities. ”

Is it also a part-time police station......

According to Lisa, in addition to the four gates of Nazca City with city guards, there are also two stations in the center - a total of six stations plus the city guards who often patrol the streets and alleys, covering a very thorough range, and it is no wonder that the city is so good at security that it can be dispatched as soon as possible in case of emergency.

"But why would you think of going to that kind of place in broad daylight?"

Didn't you say that you came out to play, so why would you go to that kind of place...... Although Lin doesn't care about "playing", she is still a little embarrassed about taking friends to visit the city and only to visit the police station.

"Well, because they came in the morning to urgently collect a batch of arrows, it seems that there is something recently that has caused their logistics to be a little unable to keep up, so I want to come and see, if needed, our family can stop work in the past two days and other projects to help them catch up with some ah......"

“......”

It seems that the Nazca City guards have a good reputation. The good and evil of a straightforward girl like Lisa are very clear, and being able to get her favor shows that these people are still very tough in their usual style, and the residents' feelings for them are not bad.

Although the city guards' urgent collection of arrows made Lin feel that something might have happened, even if Zhilu Dao might cause a lot of trouble, she could only accompany Lisa—she always felt that it would be unwise and rude to pour cold water on the girl's enthusiasm.

"Eh, it's strange, why didn't you arrive after walking for so long today? and...... Remember that we should have already walked through here?"

"Uh, you're not going to get lost on your own, are you?"

"How is that possible! I don't even remember the way to the city where I live!" Lisa protested dissatisfiedly, but soon she felt inexplicable, "Why do you feel like we're going in circles?"

“......”

Lin couldn't help frowning, raised her left hand, and released a wisp of dark energy from the tip of her index finger, condensing it into a small arrow and shooting it into the air.

Lynn watched with a solemn expression as the arrow gradually dissipated into thin air—judging from the information that came back from this arrow, the situation was indeed somewhat unexpected.

"Lisa, if nothing goes wrong, we're moving at twenty kilometers per hour even if we're standing still......"

"You, what are you talking about! Aren't we standing here properly?"

Lisa couldn't believe Lynn's statement.

"From our point of view, it's really not moving...... But in reality, we, including the street in our eyes, are moving at a steady and constant speed. ”

After Lin dissipated in the air, the information obtained from the mark showed that its trajectory in the present world was not a straight line vertically towards the arrow, but a parabola......

Anyone with even a modicum of physics knows what that means.

"If I'm not mistaken, this little section of the street we are in, this little part of the space itself is isolated from reality by something strange, and itself is being pulled to move at a steady pace...... It is not difficult to understand why we can't walk out of this street - because we can't touch the boundaries of this stripped space, and the absence of boundaries means that there is no end, and maybe, what we see is only the last scene when we leave the world in which we originally lived. Actually, we're in a weird half-plane......"

Due to this period of time, Lin's practice in Lethe has not been pulled down, and Lin, who has already had some experience, is very easy to find abnormalities at this time.

Of course, Lisa was confused—the only thing that was understandable was that she and Lin seemed to have been taken into some strange place.

"This ...... What can we do? Can't we get out?"

"Shh~" Lin made a silent motion, then leaned sideways to carefully feel the fluctuations coming from the air, "It seems...... The fluctuations are starting to get denser? It looks like it's going to be 'docked' with the outside world, right? Rest assured, it looks like it's impossible to be trapped here forever, but I don't know what will happen when we get rid of it?"

No matter how you think about it, the guy who will cause this level of mutation in the city will not look like a person who is peaceful...... Lin was a little worried about what kind of situation she would encounter after she and Lisa got out.

"Will we be able to get out?"

"That should be fine, but there's no guarantee of what you'll encounter next...... Remember, don't make a sound, and don't leave my side!"

Lynn took Lisa's hand and asked her to half-crouch down with her while adjusting her breathing. When Lisa saw Lynn's request, she quickly understood.

Lisa herself is just a girl with good forging skills, although she looks older and taller than Lin, but even in terms of physical ability, the physical strength exercised by striking iron may not be comparable to Lin, if something really happens, Lisa's situation is much more dangerous than Lin.

[At this time, it's better to be safe......]

Lynn's mind moved, and she summoned the contract buried in her mind. Soon, she got a response from the other side - the dark purple Angul wriggled and smashed through the gap in space to Rin's side.

"Angul~~~"

Some days I hadn't seen my contractor, and Angul fluttered his little wings, looking very happy.

"If there is any space earthquake or something like that for a while, please ask Angul to help block it...... But no matter what, once we appear in this world, please cover our figure and aura as soon as possible!"

"Ann~Angul~"

However, the message that Angul replied to made Lin a little entangled.

"I'm not good at this kind of skill, and with my current ability, I can only cover one person...... Then just protect Lisa, I have my own measure here!"

"This, how can this be!"

Despite the fog, Lisa understood what Lin meant - but for Lisa, it was already a bit embarrassing to have a girl younger than herself to protect, not to mention that the child had to protect herself regardless of her own safety.

I can't get over it with my conscience!

"My father taught me some martial arts, too! I don't really need to ......."

"You can wield knives and guns with others, but do you know how to deal with the current situation? Don't be stupid, I have a specialization in art, and I am better than you in this regard...... Don't underestimate me, I'm still just an apprentice behind Wet Sauce, but I've already got full membership in the Mage Guild. ”

Lin unceremoniously shoved Angul into Lisa's arms, and Angul, who received Lin's instructions, did not react to Lisa in any way.

"Lynn, you ......"

An official member of the Mage Association, this identity represents that Lisa still knows what the Tao is—that is to say, in the eyes of those archmages, Lyn's magical attainments can be regarded as the forefront of the entire group of mages.

Although Lynn's identity is really deep, and by the standards of a mage, Lynn's magic level is also very limited...... But when it comes to theory, with Aisha's help, Lyn, who has eaten a lot of high-end knowledge, is definitely not weak. In terms of actual combat ability, Lin cannot be measured by conventional mage standards.

If anything, almost all of Lynn's methods have nothing to do with orthodox elemental magic, and even elemental attacks are done through other means than regular spellcasting......

"Don't panic when you encounter any situation - as long as you don't throw Angul out of your arms, you are safe, and no one can hurt you!

"Angul!"
