Allen's heart trembled when he heard this answer, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath and widen his eyes.

"Already...... Have you come this far?" muttered Alan.

Although he had learned in advance that Riel wanted to settle all his grievances with him in this venue, and he had also come out of the confusion and frustration with Will's help, when the moment came, he would still feel a little sudden and a little confused.

"I knew you wouldn't want to see it. Alyssa looked at him and said, "So, I suggest we ......."

"No...... I'm going to see him. A strong sense of fate welled up in Allen's heart, making him involuntarily interrupt her, "It's useless to escape, this step is already necessary." ”

Alyssa looked at him and saw that his eyes revealed a determination that had never been seen before.

"Let's go. Allen said.

So saying, he was about to leave.

But Alyssa stopped him: "Wait. ”

Alan stopped and looked at her.

"Even if you go, you have to figure out the situation first. "I think you'd better be prepared." ”

"Hmm...... That's fine...... In order to save him from ......" Alan lowered his head and muttered a few words, raising his head with a serious face: "Then please explain it." ”

"Hmm...... It's a little more complicated over there...... "Alyssa said, "Simply put, the Wand of Stealer is no longer in Ficheno's hands, and we don't have to track him down. ”

"It's not in his hands?

"I overheard him talking to Riel. "He seems to be injured a lot, and wants to get Riel to team up with him, but Riel is indifferent." In desperation, he took out the Wand of Stealing in exchange for Riel's help. ”

"And then?" saw Alyssa stop at this, and Alan asked curiously.

"And then ......," Alyssa said, looking a little confused, and after thinking for a long time, "things got a little complicated, and I was confused by Rare's attitude...... He looked irritable and questioned Ficheno, 'Where did you get this wand?', 'You picked it up on the road', 'Nonsense! He set out from Gate Seven!Tell me, what did you do to him!' Feather was frightened'I met him by chance on the road, he accidentally lost it, and I got separated from him again', 'Oh, it seems you don't know the cost of deceiving me', 'I said, I said!, please spare me!', 'You only have this one chance', 'I stole it from him', 'What about others',' I don't know, they found me and beat me like this, and I got away with it', 'Hmph, get out, I'm only counting to three, if you can't disappear from my eyes, I'll help you'...... That's basically all they were talking about. ”

"He recognized it the first time he saw it, it was yours. The reason why he seemed grumpy at the time may have been because he mistakenly thought that Fedeno had hurt you. Alyssa began to help Alan analyze the situation in front of her after retelling, "And I was much more relieved to know that you were okay." ”

"Looks like that......" Alan nodded, "So how did you know he was waiting for me?"

"Because there was another person with him. "After Ficheno's walk away I heard him say, 'He must be defeated by me.'" ”

No wonder Alyssa couldn't tell when asked if she was friend or foe...... Riel's attitude is really puzzling, on the one hand, he is worried about Allen's safety, and on the other hand, he is bent on defeating him.

"Sure enough...... Cecilis was also there. Thinking of what he had overheard about Riel and their plan before, Alan immediately understood.

"It seemed like it was her, because I did hear a girl's voice, albeit just a soft 'um'. ”

"I see...... Thanks a lot. Hearing this, Alan lowered his head and thought for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "Then ...... Let's go. ”

With that, he brushed aside the bushes in front of him and walked forward.

Alyssa followed.

Maybe the soil is too wet, but the vegetation around here is quite lush, and the road is not very obvious.

After walking a few hundred meters, they came to a relatively open area.

Behind them were the exits of three roads, and less than fifty meters in front of them was the swamp. It looks like this is the intersection.

Under a tree on the edge of the swamp stood two men, their figures blurred by the thick vapor.

Alan froze and walked slowly.

But just as he was about to see the faces of the two people under the tree, he saw a flash of firelight, and a head-sized fireball suddenly flew towards him in an inconspicuous arc.

Alan was caught off guard and froze in place. Fortunately, Alyssa reacted quickly enough, and with a raise of her wand, a wall of water rose in front of Allen, blocking the path of the fireball.

......The fireball slammed into the wall of water and disappeared in an instant, leaving only a burst of water vapor rising.

"Huh...... You're finally here. A cold voice came through the same cold air, "It's still the same, you need to be protected everywhere." ”

"Riel ......," Allen said.

"Is that how you greet us?" questioned Alyssa. Obviously, she didn't expect Riel to do it all of a sudden.

"That's the perfect way to go, isn't it?" said Riel, "and when you meet an enemy, it's not a hug." ”

"Enemy ......" After hearing this word, Allen's heart suddenly tingled, and he couldn't help but be a little excited, "In your eyes, are we already enemies......

However, Riel did not answer him, but after a moment of silence, he turned his head and whispered to the person next to him, "Let's see, who is better between me and him." ”

As soon as Riel finished speaking, he took a few steps forward while chanting a mantra in a low voice, and another flame rose up, circled around Eren a few times, and whistled towards him.

The vapor in the air near here evaporated almost instantly, and the skyrocketing fire illuminated Rare's face...... It was still the same short brown hair and the same angular face as before, but there was an indescribable determination and hostility in the eyes.

Alyssa had no choice but to open a water elemental barrier to resist this attack with no dead ends.

"Why do you use this magic?" asked Alyssa.

"Why can't I?" said Riel with a sneer, then tossed the Devil's Stealer along with the cloth wrapped around it, "He can take other people's mana for his own purposes with impunity, why can't I?"

Alyssa was stunned and realized something.

"What's more, I'm just borrowing. With that, Riel glanced back at Cecilis and said, "Only then will my duel with him seem a little fairer, won't it?"

"Duel ......" After hearing this word, Allen's heart began to throb for a while, and even his voice trembled, "You are...... Seriously?"

Krair didn't seem to hesitate......

"As you can see!"
