"Generally speaking, there are only two kinds of guests who come late at night - except for those who have an emergency to ask for help, the rest are mostly not well-intentioned. I don't know what your purpose is, but it doesn't seem polite to be a visitor. ”

Well, putting a knife on someone's neck from behind, no matter what the occasion, is not a well-intentioned approach, right?

“......”

“...... How long are you going to keep this position? Since you didn't cut it down in the first place, you must not have come to kill me, did you? Do you want to know anything from me?"

Aisha silently added in her heart - after asking, you can't guarantee whether you can cut it or not?

"Some time ago...... The ...... who came to this town The girl...... Where?"

A hoarse, staccato voice came from behind him.

Sure enough, there was a thick dark aura behind Lynn...... But doesn't there seem to be something quite right? "That girl"...... Hmph, it's more complicated than I thought. 】

"Huh, you stepped on it, so you came to find me in the first place?"

"Don't talk too much...... Answer whatever you ask......"

The blade of the knife clinging to the artery shifted its angle slightly, constantly revealing its presence to Aisha.

[What are the characteristics of "Demon Breaker", "Armor Piercing", and "Sharpness"...... No, not only that, but there is also a "bleeding" mark that inhibits the healing effect - it's really a terrible murder weapon~]

Whether it is a mage's spell barrier or a refined hard armor, the front of this murder weapon is brittle like a piece of paper, unless it is blessed with a high-level defense enchantment, otherwise it is basically impossible to resist, ......right? No, some small countries can't even afford to worship it, right?

"I'm really anxious, it's not impossible to tell you, Lin, she, went hunting with someone...... But-" Sensing a subtle change in the force of the blade clinging to the artery, Aisha couldn't help but show a playful smile, "--You're not the only one who asked me where Lin went~"

"What! are they—"

After hearing Aisha's answer, the "guest" behind her couldn't help but shake - although in a short moment, the other party quickly discovered his gaffe......

"Sure enough, you...... Or maybe you're not the one who has a direct relationship with Rin's origins, are you? But I'm also curious, how did you know about Lynn's specific situation-"

"Dead people don't need to know this!"

Although it was unclear what the other party was intent, the intuition of the black-clad visitor told him that he could not let the other person continue to talk - either to himself or to others later!

Just when he or she was about to cut a scar on Aizabeth's neck with a blade—

"Well, not giving the other party a chance to finish those tricky lines is indeed a good habit to prevent the boat from capsizing in the ditch, and it can be seen that you are not a stupid person...... Of course, you're not a smart person. ”

Maintaining a hostage posture, the "guest" watched as Aisha calmly walked to her desk and poured a cup of coffee.

"Perhaps your hands are already stained with the blood of many mages, or mages much stronger than you, that is why you were so careless when entering a spellcaster's quarters. Although it looks like a dilapidated wooden house, as long as a caster lives, even a straw pile should be treated as a fortress, which is a constant reason. ”

"You...... When the hell is ......?"

"Actually, you don't have to show that expression~ Now you can still stare at me with such fierce eyes, it's just because you didn't cut my neck in the first place - if that's the case, you have already tasted the taste of the blade of resentment that stained the dead and cut through the artery...... That's right, the posture of being subdued is all pretended~~ For me, you who think you are hidden in the dark, your sense of presence is as obvious as a stubborn stone in the wind. ”

"Hmph...... No need to talk too much...... Don't think about it from me...... Get a little bit of intel......"

The expected reaction~

"By the way, you shouldn't have recklessly started without a deep understanding of the target, right? You have repeatedly ignored the fact that I am a spell caster, should you say that you are brave or ignorant? I want to know the Tao, and I rarely need to get it directly from other people's mouths~"

As the black-clad assassin stared at him in amazement, Aisha gently pointed her index finger at the other's forehead.

"Don't worry, I'm very professional, and I won't play you ~bad~~yo~"

Obviously he had a very sincere and gentle smile, but the black-clothed assassin seemed to be in an ice cellar full of ice.

"What's so special about the Thunder Wolf Dragon?

"This kind of information that even a layman like me can literally get, why do you a veteran hunter mention it!

“............ ★→←△▲→←※↑△→←◎%*&@%......”

Can't count on this guy anymore.

"Lin, don't sell it, just tell me what you know~"

Ai Ou simply picked up Lin and pressed it into his arms, his face rubbing against Lin's immature cheeks...... This move directly caused Lin to blow up her hair.

Hit the back of the head!

CAVED！

"You really don't miss the slightest opportunity......" Lin rubbed the back of her head with a little pain, and looked helplessly at Io who was lying on the ground covering her nose and rolling on the ground, "Io, do you really know the way or are you pretending to be stupid?"

[Is it reliable to entrust your surname to such a guy?well, since Aisha has said that Io's ability can't be seen on the surface, I still believe her......]

"Warp drop...... Phuket ......"

“............”

[No one should look like a man...... You can’t judge a book by its cover...... You can’t judge a book by its cover...... You can’t judge a book by its cover...... You can’t judge a book by its cover...... You can’t judge a book by its cover...... No one can ......]

After silently reciting "people must not be disguised" many times in her heart, Lin finally felt a little at ease.

"Io, you planted the Thunder Light Vine to prevent the Thunder Wolf Dragon from passing by here, right? Because the Thunder Light Vine will attract the Thunder Light Worm, and the Thunder Wolf Dragon, which has formed a symbiotic relationship with the Thunder Light Worm, usually will not trample and destroy these vines...... But have you thought about it? What wasn't affected by the anomaly was actually not the Thunderwolf Dragon, but the Thunder Light Worm that lived on it. ”

"What is ......that kind of little bug like a thunderbolt bug? Lin, are you saying that it was because of the thunder light insects that indirectly caused the current state of the thunder wolf dragon?"

"Look. ”

Lin used her fingers to draw an obscure text in the air, and then the text bloomed with a faint silver-blue light, and then Lin pressed her right hand up, and the text was closely connected to Lin's right hand.

"Frost Runes. ”

Then Lin did the same, carving a fiery rune on her left hand.

As Io watched, Lynn clasped her hands together.

"This ...... It's ......"

"The most basic form after fusion. Because I've just learned, it's just a rune drawn with my fingers, and the amount of power is relatively weak, but it's relatively simple. ”

Instead of reacting violently as Io imagined the thunder and earth fire, Lynn held a small ball of light in both hands, and faintly could see the outline of a text in it—nothing more, everything seemed quiet and gentle.

"Even if you went to the territory of the Thunder Wolf Dragon, you didn't succeed before, but in the past, the Thunder Light Vine you planted attracted a lot of Thunder Light Worms, and you can see the results after that. ”

"Has the interference of ...... 'impurities' on the homeostasis of the elements disappeared?"

"That's it. ”

“...... Is the source of the anomaly the air?"

"Although there may be other explanations, I am personally inclined to this - there is some unknown 'impurity' mixed in with the air, which may or may not be invisible. ”

[It's uncomfortable...... It's so depressing. 】

"Lynn, can you add an enchantment to this arrow? ”

Io suddenly pulled out an arrow and handed it to Lynn.

Although she didn't quite understand why Io did this at this time, Lin did it anyway.

"Give me your hand. ”

"Huh?" Io looked at Lynn for some reason.

"I haven't learned how to refine magic from myself, and the runes alone don't work very well, so I need to use ready-made magic from outside. ”

"However, I'm not a spellcaster, and I haven't studied ......."

"Anyway, you have magic powers, and I don't want to know your private secrets, I just want to ask you, do you want to be defective or qualified?"

“............”

Io was silent for a moment, but reached over and took Lynn's small hand.

......

"Yes, in addition to 'Flame', it is also blessed with 'Stable' and 'Attached' enchanted arrows. ”

After a few moments, Lynn handed the finished arrow to Io.

"I can understand 'steady', it can increase the accuracy of arrows - it doesn't mean much to me, but what's the use of this 'attachment'?"

"It's not for the arrows, it's for the 'Flames,' and it's much easier to merge the two than Frost and Flame. ”

Io suddenly felt that the "gentle" red arrow in his hand had become much heavier.

"This ...... It's really a dangerous thing~ But, let's be impressed by you for such a sinister work, Lin~ It looks like it's very emotional~~~"

It just so happened that a dead thing that couldn't even feel the breath of a living creature but could still make a sound, even with such an inhumane weapon, Io would not feel the slightest sense of guilt.

"Something happens in a minute, please stay behind me, Lynn. ”

“...... Understand, I'll do my best not to affect you. ”

[The black shadow that swept by just now...... Isn't it a delusion? It's strange, obviously I should be very scared of the nervous now, I don't know what Lu Dao is about, unexpected...... Quiet, ......]
