Section 6 Divine Arrow

"I got it. Ashrufat replied perfunctorily and continued on horseback.

Instead of following the main road, he went around to the forest on the side of the road. This may just be a cautious thought. Wherever you are, a lone traveler is always in danger, even in the city. Although he had little money, this tall horse was easily coveted.

He could clearly feel the flow of dark magic energy. The horse was so tame to him that he could easily steer it with the reins and thighs. But even if he let go of the reins, he could still pull the horse with a slight amount of dark magic energy.

Although Ashrufat felt pretty good about himself, Carrie told him bluntly that his little magic was only the most basic, crude. It's not much different from those apprentices who peep through the door. But on the contrary, she also said that Ashrufat's combat skills are very good, and his swordsmanship will not be lost to anyone.

It is dangerous to walk into the forest at night, but Ashruphat has discovered that he has the ability to see at night. To ordinary people, the thick darkness that he couldn't see his fingers was no different from dusk to him. Presumably the same is true of his horse. For he easily walked through the complex forest to a glade.

Moonlight shone from the sky. In the middle of the clearing, two figures really stood there.

"Is that you?" Ashruphat recognized the sisters. They were all dressed in the long tunic skirts worn by the women of the caravan to facilitate their work, and their shoulders and arms were bare, but they carried backpacks on their backs. "Why did you leave the caravan?"

"Something went wrong. There is a section of the road ahead that is blocked by rocks and mud from the landslide, and people cannot walk. They wanted to get the car over, but they didn't know how much time it would take. So they decided to camp overnight and see what to do tomorrow. And we don't want to delay any longer, we want to go to the city tonight, at least at dawn tomorrow. ”

"So, didn't you wait for me here?" Ashrufat asked, smiling. Both girls didn't say a word.

"I want to get on the horse, too, at night? I'll take you out of the city. He stretched out a hand to the lower part of the body and leaned down. The two sisters had no intention of objecting, and were picked up by him one by one.

He found that the two sisters' bodies were unexpectedly petite, and he didn't need to stretch out his arms very hard to hug the two of them together. The three of them sat on horseback and did not look crowded at all.

"At this point, it should be considered safe. ”

"Hmm. The girl on the left nodded. Her body was so close to Ashrufat that it allowed him to smell the faint scent of the girl's hair. Life in the caravan was much better than it had been when they had fled for their lives, and at least the women were often given the opportunity to take a bath. The arm attached to the girl's waist clearly felt a stiffness.

The moonlight shines from the sky. Ashruphat suddenly raised the two sisters as if they were fitting to appear in the moonlight, for the silver-white moonlight added an indescribable mystery to their rare silver hair. Perhaps because of the moonlight, he suddenly realized that the appearance of these two girls could be said to be overwhelming. Although he had not been aware of it in the past.

Their skin is very delicate, their countenances are smooth and untraced, and their features are very delicate, like the beauty praised in poems and paintings. It reminded him of the heart of the piano. However, this feeling is different from the heart of the piano. The heart of the piano is like one of the little elves that exist in a dream, combining wildness, evil, cruelty, and innocence and sweetness to produce that deadly attraction that lacks a sense of reality (and because the relationship is too short, the feeling is also very vague). And these two girls don't give people that feeling. Their beauty is the kind of beauty that belongs to a foreign country, which is refreshing, real and sweet. It's the kind of bud that is about to mature but has not yet matured, the kind of girl who is touching and pitiful.

"May I ask, what kind of depraved dark magic have you researched to get the people of the church to hunt down like this?"

"Dark magic is not a depraved energy. It's just that it didn't work the right way in the past. He heard one of the sisters reply. Her tone of voice was a little harsh, making him think that this one should be a star carving - the opposite of what he had just judged.

"There should be no good or evil in strength! A weapon is a weapon, and good or evil depends on the bearer, not the sword itself. It's the same with the dark magic energy!, and the dark magic energy is far more stable than the magic eight winds. But they usually don't flow, which is why they are used in the wrong way. Gathering dark magic energy in the body is definitely the wrong way to use it. Unless it is a vampire, the human body cannot withstand this kind of change...... Forget it, you don't understand!" she said the last sentence in frustration.

Ashrufat was stunned for a moment, but then let out a chuckle.

"I've heard that you are a rare genius in the Church's School of Light Magic. Merely studying the dark arts, or questioning old ideas, should not be hunted down so harshly. Besides, I'm very strange, you are both mentors of the Bright Magic Academy, and you don't know anything about anything, while your sister is proficient in both combat skills and magic?"

"How do you recognize ...... Our?" Hoshimi looked up in surprise.

"Because your body is soft, and your sister's body has the toughness that is characteristic of post-workout. With that, he saw that both sisters were blushing. The difference was that Hoshimi lowered his head, while Hoshimi turned his head to look ahead, trying his best to pretend that he hadn't heard anything.

"You haven't said it yet. Why are you being hunted down like this? Just to have a new point of view in theory?"

"We ...... In order to find evidence that black magic is not evil...... So the two of them joined forces to complete a secret art...... And then all of a sudden, even we didn't know what we were doing, and the Holy Knights broke into the academy to arrest us. They didn't accept any explanations, and we had no choice but to run away. And then...... Then you will know the Tao. ”

"What kind of secret art?"

"You won't understand it. ”

"Not necessarily, let's hear it. ”

The mount carrying the three men slowly walked forward, slowly through the jungle, and made a large circle towards the city of Kadia. Hoshimi was elaborating, and Hoshiki occasionally added a few words. Ashrufat just listened silently. Of course, he didn't actually understand it at all.

“...... In this way, I have created an absolutely rational 'guide' in my own will. With its help, I was able to perform a simulated black magic test directly...... I'm always in a state of magic, but I can't bear any magic anymore...... But with the connection of the twins, my sister can use 'Chopping Empty', which is what you saw last time. I'm using the magic, but the control can be done by her......"

"Carrie, do you understand?" Ashruphat asked softly in his mind.

"I understand, master. As far as primitive civilization is concerned, this is beyond the scope of normal magical civilization development, and she should be close to ...... Close to ...... The initial stages of artificial intelligence. ”

Time passes imperceptibly. By the time they reached the edge of the forest, the east had already quietly revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly.

"Here we are. Ashrufat looked ahead. From here, in another hour, they will be in Kadia. There are relatives of twin sisters in the city, and they should be safe here.

"It's time for us to break up. Ashrufat jumped off his horse and picked up the two girls one after the other.

"That's it, but you...... But you ......" Xing Ke's face turned red, and even the setting sun looked pale compared to her face. "You said you wanted us to ...... Accompany...... Accompany you...... One night ......"

"You've been with me all night. Ashrufat jumped back on his horse.

"Thank you, my lordship...... You're really too merciful......" Hoshimi suddenly ran over and bowed deeply to him in front of his horse. "No matter what, we will always remember this kindness. If we can meet again one day, please give us a chance to repay the reward. ”

"It's good, if you can see you again one day. Ashrufat waved goodbye to the two sisters, and then he began to turn the horse's head.

"Master, be careful, high-energy reaction!" Without warning, Carrie's warning sounded in her head.

The sound of breaking the sky was heard, but the target was not him. Ashruphat turned his head and saw a thick arrow emitting a blazing white light piercing the bodies of Hoshimi and Hoshiki.

It was a very clever arrow, which came through the diagonal stab and pierced through the two girls in one fell swoop. This thick, spear-like glowing arrow is a collection of mana, but it's more deadly than the real one!

Accurate and lethal shooting. Both targets were simultaneously shot through the chest, abdomen, spleen, heart, and liver. This is a fatal wound that cannot be spared.

On a hill far away, Perrin withdrew his longbow. Months of chasing, waiting, lurking, months of patience and intellect. He is the winner. At the dawn of the utter loss of vigilance at this goal, it only takes an arrow to solve the problem.

"My lord, it is indeed a divine arrow! worthy of the name of the Holy Knight!" said a flattering smile to the people beside him. "You've done it this time, and I'm sure the church will be satisfied. How do you know that Ashrufat has lied to you?"

"Of course I know. It was only suspicious at first, but from the time our captain Ashruphat left Delos on a tall horse, I knew that he was in collusion with the witches. I could tell at a glance that the horse was ...... Entangled in dark magic energy, it was the product of necromancy! It could only have been made by a witch and given to him in exchange for his help...... Mercenaries are all virtuous! They can sell their own mothers for money, let alone sell their faith for a horse. ”

"Shall we teach our Captain Ashrufat a lesson forever?" another suggested.

"There is no point, there are too many such scumbags to kill!" looked at Ashrufat in the distance, and Perran's face showed deep hatred. "The witch is dead, let's go back. ”

"What to do with the horse?"

"There is no replenishment of dark magic energy. The horse would soon be reduced to a pile of immovable bones. Let's make our Captain Eshurufat happy for a few days. After all, it was his reward for betraying the gods. ”

With that, he turned around and left. The others disappeared with him into the dim forest.

On the other side, Ashruphat stood on guard for a moment, but could not see the enemy rushing out. The arrow, which was made entirely of magic, made him immediately understand who the pursuer was. It's just that Perrin seems to be satisfied with his results and doesn't bother to pay attention to him anymore.

Am I just a clown in the eyes of others? he thought to himself. Perrin undoubtedly understood his lie and just let him perform there. It's ridiculous that he thought he was doing it seamlessly.

"Master, without a second wave of energy reaction, they must have left. Carrie reminded.
