Chapter 31: The Pursuers
The innkeeper was still skeptical, but seeing Allen's attitude made the panic on his face disappear a lot.
"If we really were such a vicious fugitive, how could you have survived until now?" Cynthia added, "You've seen what we're capable of, and if we really wanted to kill you, you should be lying on the ground by now, aren't you?"
"So...... You're really not fugitives?" the innkeeper finally breathed a sigh of relief, staring at the faces of several people and observing them repeatedly.
"Rest assured, we're really not. Allen said, "Something must be wrong." ”
Seeing that the family's mood gradually stabilized, Alyssa also whispered a few incantations to lift the magic that froze Bam's arm.
"Sorry, it's urgent, I may have taken a bit of a heavy shot...... I'm afraid he'll set this house on fire by mistake. Alyssa politely said, "But he shouldn't be too badly injured." ”
Bam had probably just been woken up from a dream, and was dressed thinly. His mother helped him roll up his sleeves and found that his skin was only slightly red and swollen, and it had not been frostbitten.
"Thank you for your mercy, kind girl!" the innkeeper's wife quickly thanked him, "This kid has just graduated from the local high magic school, and he hasn't mastered a lot of magic yet. ”
"It doesn't matter, he has the most important thing to be a good magician. Alan smiled and said, "As long as he works hard enough, I'm sure he'll make a difference in the future." ”
"And who are you?" said the innkeeper, lighting the lamp in the room, and pulling a crumpled piece of parchment out of his pocket, "you really look exactly like the man wanted here!"
"Please lend me a look. Allen said.
"I just received it yesterday, and I didn't post it at the door because I didn't have any business lately. The innkeeper said as he handed the parchment to Allen, "It was handed out by the Krivari Security Department himself. ”
Alan took it and found that, as the innkeeper had said, there were several big words on the top of the parchment, "Wanted" , the following content is divided into two lines, which are the portraits of Alan and Riel, Cynthia and Frey, and at the bottom is written this line of words: On the day of dawn, someone broke the strongest seal and released the magic eye, these four people are suspected of committing major crimes, if you find the whereabouts of these four people, you must immediately notify the local security department, and those who participate in the capture or provide important clues will receive a reward of 5000-20000 gold coins!
At the end of the wanted warrant is the signature of President Mankizi Winslow.
"It's just nonsense!" Riel saw it and couldn't help but get angry, "The Magic Eye was obviously released by Burrestu, why did this charge come to us!"
"Who's Bresto?" asked the innkeeper, confused, "do you know much about this?"
"Truth be told, we've seen the MONOCULUS and watched it destroy the entire city of Krivari...... "and we're here to find a way to fight it...... We were going to search for the missing relics in the Dragon Mountains near Glenkron, and we were mistaken for a fugitive when we were mistaken for a recuperation. ”
"I see!" said the innkeeper, "I will say that you look good-natured, and you don't look like people who can do evil!
"No, it seems like this may not be a misunderstanding now......" Alan said at this point and involuntarily frowned again, "We were there on the day of dawn, and Mankichi Winslow behaved strangely that day......"
That's right, he scribbled a few polite words and slipped away without a trace, as if he knew what was going to happen in the first place. Cynthia said, "Now what kind of wanted warrant is issued to hunt us down!"
"Not only that......" said Allen, "I don't think it's a coincidence that many of his family are proficient in space-time magic, but the entire city of Krivari was destroyed and their family is unharmed......
"You mean to say...... Their family has become a complete behemoth of Burrestu?" Cynthia asked.
"Well, it's very likely," Allen said, "and judging by this series ......of performances, I can only assume that he has teamed up with Bresto." ”
"This brute, did you even give up Hepp's future for the sake of his own glory and wealth!?" Riel shouted at this.
"Knock knock!"
Just as he was about to complain, there was a sudden knock in the direction of the store.
"Open the door! We're from the Department of Security!" a gruff voice shouted, "Open the door!"
Several people were startled, only to find that the communication lamp on the table was still smoking.
"Oops! I forgot about it!" the innkeeper patted his thigh, "I just reported the case to the security department just before you got here!"
"They came so fast!" Alan was taken aback.
"What to do?" asked Alyssa, "judging by the sound of footsteps, there are at least a dozen of them!"
"Hurry up!" said the innkeeper, opening the back door of the house, "I'll try to help you stall!"
"No!" Frey shook his head, "we don't know the place, we can't get far without a carriage and we'll be overtaken!
"Yes, if we escape and get caught, you'll be implicated with you!" said Allen.
"What then......" the innkeeper scratched his cheeks in frustration, "I have to go and open the door for them, or they're going to break it!"
"How about trying this out?" Cynthia said, casting a camouflage charm on herself.
"It's so risky! this magic can be spotted if you're not careful!" Frey said, "The Security Department has always had a lot of people who are good at detection, and if they find out we're here, they might have to fight them here!"
"No, I thought you could give it a try!" the innkeeper said, looking at them, "because you came quickly, I didn't have time to report the situation here in detail, only that the fugitive had been found, and that you didn't even have time to say that you were staying here!"
"Hmm...... Then please!" Alan said, covering himself and Alyssa with a layer of disguise, "Please keep them all apart!"
"I'll do my best!" he hurried into the back door and headed for the door, answering the call outside.
Because it was too far away from the door of the store to hear the movement over there, Alan and the others quietly came to the back door in disguise, and cleaned up the fragments of the door panel that had been destroyed by Cynthia before.
The door creaked open.
"What about the fugitives?" the voice of the door immediately rang again.
"They're not here!" replied the innkeeper, "you're a little late...... They only stopped at the door for a moment, as if they were afraid of being recognized, so they left quickly!"
