In the image they saw in Sophia, located in the Garden of Hope, Alicia and the others were resting in place and confirming the direction of progress, like a group of travelers who had come out to camp and sleep. But in fact, Little Lori and her party are being strongly watched by many blue-skinned big monster uncles, and the other party's expressions look very unfriendly.

When Fabiano was almost frantic at the end of his frenzy to ask the nonsensical question, William immediately raised his head in a vigilant posture and shouted, "Please wait a minute, we are students participating in the Reze Cup." As for the tournament, the Mage Guild should have already talked to you. ”

A draenei warrior with a delicate iron two-handed axe on his shoulder stepped on the edge of the pumice rock and bent down to look at the crowd: "It is indeed discussed, and Lord Mona has agreed to let the Mage Guild exchange the materials we urgently need for the right to use the canyon grounds. But this does not include the fact that the adults agreed that you would come into contact with the Dark Draenei, who had fallen against the will of the great World Tree Guardian, and that after being blinded by Mindal's rhetoric, you wanted to defeat the Guardian while she had just awakened and failed to regain much strength, so as to dominate the power of the World Tree!"

[Strangely, Mindal came the day after we entered the canyon. At that time, we were still a long way from where the Draenei lived, how did the other party know? Could it be that Mindal was being followed? No, that guy's foresight would not even be aware of being followed. 】

Alicia scratched her little head in confusion, and then decisively made countless colored bubbles around her body, raised her face with a very innocent, cute, pure and flawless expression, blinked a pair of big shining eyes, tilted her head, and said slightly innocently: "Uncle, what are you talking about, all of us here have only seen your Draenei for the first time today." ”

"Can I complain?"

"What are you stupid people thinking, of course you have to keep silent and try to put on a corresponding expression to get through with Miss Harris!"

[Aren't these two enemies a little nervous!?]

Whether it's a natural or black personality, Lori is always absolutely invincible when she sells cuteness. Seeing this, the Draenei warrior hesitated and retracted and muttered to himself, "Could it be that we are mistaken? ”

I'm dizzy, there are also people in the Mage Guild who have a kick?" Alicia suppressed the shock in her heart, and continued to nod her head with a sunny face and smiled: "There are more blonde hairs among the human race, and you see that there is a double ponytail here besides me." (The nearby tsundere lady was immediately shot and fell to the ground) Although I don't know who you are looking for, it will definitely not be us. Because our team was formed just a few days ago. ”

"That's right. The Draenei warriors seemed to accept Alysia and waved to their compatriots as they prepared to leave. But suddenly when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, he turned his head and asked Xiao Lori coldly, "What's your name?"

Without hesitation, Alicia opened her mouth and replied, "Imris? ”

Nearby, William nearly fell at his feet, but Ilya grabbed him by the back of the collar.

"Looks like I'm looking for the wrong person. The other party ignored the crowd no more. He led his men to quickly disappear along the vine and disappeared to the end of the pumice.

When the draenei left, little Lori immediately closed her right eye and stretched out her left hand to make a V gesture to everyone: "Yay!"

Yay, your sister, return the martial arts I was looking forward to!

"yes, your sister, what's the deal with that strange name just now!?" William rushed to little Lori, his palms were half clenched into claws, and his face was scratching wildly. ...,

"Ahh

"Don't marry your sister casually!" William suddenly looked in front of Little Lori. "I admit that she is indeed lovely, but I swear in the name of the creator god that I have never had any evil thoughts about her!"

Alicia waved her hand nonchalantly, "That guy's name is better than a piece of straw paper with a snot blow." Hawkers, whether you have any thoughts about Xiao Ise or not, anyway, it's in the past for the time being. Fabiano, your question has now been answered. ”

"Yes. I didn't expect that there would be someone in the Mage Guild who would join forces with Mona. Or is that person already under the World Tree controlled by monsters?"

"It should be the latter case. Alicia snapped her fingers casually, and a golden, curly-haired girl wearing a Scottish hunter-style dress and an elegant and peaceful expression immediately came out of the nearby void, "Sister Mamei, those flies that are nominally stalking and protecting us are actually monitoring us, please help me solve them, I don't want to act under the attention of the enemy all the time." ”

"Okay master, please leave it to me. ”

Fabiano watched with a little envy as Asami disappeared into the void again, and couldn't help but wonder, "Now, Alicia. Didn't the rules of the tournament say that the use of contract creatures is strictly forbidden, so why did you take Asami with you? I thought you left her in the Garden of Hope like His Highness Icarus. ”

"Heroic spirits are not living beings. Little Lori said pertinently. "There are also rules that just say that it is strictly forbidden to use it. I didn't say I wasn't allowed to carry it. In addition to Ma Mei's sister Bai Ya and Black Flame, I also take it with me, otherwise do you think I really only plan to take a group of young boys and girls who are still in school to burn their blood and save the world?"

[Coupled with the creatures randomly summoned by Brother William, Elijah, the Starshine Scepter, Xana-chan, and finally the transformation of myself at the bottom of the pressure box, even if Icarus, Mercury Lamp, and Ayaya are not in combat power, it should be enough.] 】

Even if the main force is not around, there are three level 5 powerhouses, are you cheating or are you directly out of specification!? The cold sweaty Fabiano wiped a handful of sweat and said: "I see, I feel a lot more relieved when I hear you say this." However, the other party already knows our plan, so it's better to leave now. ”

Unexpectedly, Alicia shook her head and denied, "No." If you immediately panic and speed up to flee after flickering the opponent's troops away, isn't it tantamount to not recruiting yourself? Approaching us generously can have the effect of confusing the enemy. Gain more time. ”

Hearing this, William reminded, "Alicia, in case the Delaney and the inner Ying of the Mage Guild are in contact. Even if they can't communicate with each other with magic crystals, they will always arrange for someone to deliver the letter. Your picture can be found in any newspaper. Don't you go crazy with anger when you get your hands on those blue skins?"

Hearing this, Alicia couldn't help but stroke her chin and bow her head and mutter, "Indeed, the next time they come with the photos, it will be troublesome." And the old youkai under the World Tree must be able to sense Ilya as well...... There is no way, it looks like the only way to use that trick. ”

"What about that?"

Little Lori rushed out: "Thirty-six plans to go up!"

"Do you still have to run away in the end!?"...,

――――――――――――――――――I'm the dividing line of the runaway――――――――――――――――――

Alicia didn't take the party to the bottom of the canyon. There is no cover in the empty space, and if you don't need it, you will be discovered by the other party. On the other hand, the pumice rocks are very close to the World Tree, and the atmosphere is very rich in water, so many tall trees can grow here. The groves were undoubtedly the best hiding places.

The group soon left before the Draenei realized they had been deceived, and after running for a while, they hid in the woods.

"I—I'm not going to walk on a single-plank bridge next time!" Fabiano, soaking wet, slumped in the tunnel, "especially when it's windy!"

It's no wonder that this guy was almost blown off balance by the wind when he passed by Fujibei just now.

"Don't complain, you must know that walking the single-plank bridge with my sister is the best way to trick her. You should take this opportunity to practice more. In the future, when she is alone with Karina, she can also use this method to seal her tsundere and turn her into a soft girl to take advantage of the opportunity to push down. Alicia leaned against a tree and sat down, "Those Smurfs will soon come back to us in a frenzy, and we will have to gather enough food and fresh water before then." Brother William, you are an expert in survival in the wild, do you want to see if there is anything to eat in this wood?"

“...... I grew up trained in the harsh wilderness, not in this pleasant climate woods to distinguish between poisonous and non-poisonous fruits. ”

"yes, then let Ilya nibble on each fruit and see how he reacts. Little Lori said amazingly. "If you eat diarrhea, it is highly poisonous, if you are just sleeping, it is poisonous, and if you eat it with a frown, it is slightly poisonous. If you're nibbling on the fruit with happiness on your face, congratulations, it's the fruit we had for dinner today!"

Recalling the curious appearance of Ilya chewing on the burnt mosaic made by Alicia without hesitation a few days ago, combined with Xiao Lori's current speech, William held his forehead with one hand and patted the black-haired boy's shoulder with the other, and said: "Although I don't know how to complain about this, I still have to say one thing - I'm sorry for you." ”

Ilya clearly didn't understand.

Not long after the two of them tasted it. Bamamei, who did not have the slightest smell of gunsmoke on her body, appeared by Alicia's side with a calm face, and saluted her with her skirt and said, "Master, the tails of the three level 4 tails in the back have been removed." No sooner had I questioned them than I attacked. It didn't cause much trouble, though. ”

"I'm glad you're sorry, senior sister. Little Lori held her hands in her arms and closed her eyes to raise her mind. "It's certain that the monster is controlled by a high-ranking member of the Mage Guild, or even the head of the second-year competition. It is likely that he was murdered when he went to the World Tree to negotiate with the Draenei about the use of the venue, and thus provided Mona with a lot of valuable materials for the plan to break the seal. The tail that followed behind had indeed intended to protect us, but everything changed after the monster sensed Ilya.

Fearing and hating the power of the god of war, the monster manipulated the jackal to attack us on the first day. The anomaly was immediately known to the higher-up, who, after contacting the monster, had his men turn to spying on us. That's why Mindar was able to learn about us even though he was in contact with us far from Draenei's territory. As for the calm of the surrounding beasts and even demonic beasts during this time, I am afraid that the monster deliberately let us in - watching the descendants of the enemy die tragically or directly pinching the other party to death with his own hands, anyway, it is a similar plan. ”

Ba Asami stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Loli's long hair, carefully took care of it, and said, "Now that you have entered the other party's territory, they are beginning to prepare to close the net." Do you want to ...... Icarus them"...,

"Nope. Mindal was right, if it was really the World Tree, it would be troublesome. I can't take this risk, everyone with the Map Cannon skill is strictly forbidden to participate in the battle this time!" said Alicia, opening her eyes. "The seal is still in place, and we just need to deal with the draenei and other creatures that are controlled by monsters. After you get them, let's slowly study how to torture them...... I mean, it's never too late to take out monsters. ”

"Although you changed your mouth in time, the rubbing and kneading of your hands as if you were pinching ants still continues. master。 ”

"Ulusai. Alicia withdrew her hand and pouted dissatisfiedly and said, "By the way, Sister Mamei, when you were dealing with those tails just now, were they filming us with instruments?"

"Nope. ”

"That's weird. The selling point of this contest is the real-time video of the adventure resort. And we have two emperors here, so they should be noticed no matter what. If the tails hadn't filmed the scene where we were in crisis, what would the Mage Guild be showing to the public?"

"It's simple, master. The footage was manipulated and falsified. ”

[There is a real possibility.] It seems that a lot of people are involved, so how powerful is the monster?]

Just before Alicia could figure it out. Illia and William, who were supposed to be tasting, hurried back and put their index fingers to their mouths to silence the crowd.

The group immediately bent down and held their breath.

After the two of them fell to their stomachs, Alicia turned her head and asked softly, "What's going on?"

William immediately reached out to cover Lori's mouth, then let go of her on the ground and wrote, "Delaney, demonized wolf." ”

Little Lori couldn't help but raise the corners of her eyes, looked at William for a while, and then wrote, "Monster, are you sure?"

"Sure. Dark, fierce, large, sensitive to sound. ”

[What the hell. Could it be that Mona, that guy has already started to break the seal, or else the monster from the middle of the continent. Although only miscellaneous soldiers. But it's definitely not a good sign. From Mindal's words, it sounds like Mona's preparations are far from complete, so the monster can't wait to pinch Elijah to death so that he can do it now. Interesting, I'll inform the mercury lamp and ask her to bring the little dark sister with her. Since you want to play big, then I'll do what you want...... Hey, isn't it!The spiritual link is blocked!?]

Seeing that Alicia suddenly turned pale and covered with cold sweat. William couldn't help but write anxiously on the ground with concern: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, communication with the outside world is broken. After gathering her mood, Alicia gently stroked her slender index finger across the dirt. "How many enemies are out there?"

"6 draenei, 2 demonized wolves. ”

[Not much.] It's easy to get the other party. But it will definitely expose its whereabouts and then be surrounded, so let's hide it as much as possible. 】

Moments later, the sound of rough and powerful breathing could be heard outside the woods, and Ilya couldn't help but think of the bellows in his father's shop. Occasionally, a conversation between the Draenei languages and the sound of claws tearing through rocks could be heard, as if the Draenei were discussing something while the demon wolf looked impatient.

The woods on the pumice rocks were everywhere in the area, and Alicia could only pray that the other party didn't find out that the others were searching so-so and checked elsewhere.

The nervous crowd struggled to control their breathing, and by the way, put their weapons within reach, just in case.

The atmosphere in the woods was terrifying.

In the midst of this, when the sun almost broke the nerves in the next second, the sun went down, and the woods suddenly became pitch black, except for a few rare glowing plants that immediately bloomed with a beautiful blue light.

Outside, there was another Draenei, then the sound of footsteps faded away, and finally the sound of stepping on a vine slowly disappearing.

Alicia nodded at Asami, who immediately entered the spirit state, and after a while stood in front of little Lori and smiled, "They're gone, matser." ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground—just then, the plants that were shining suddenly extinguished their light as if they were frightened by the students' movements. The woods were plunged back into darkness where they couldn't see their fingers.

"I see, these plants are very sensitive to the violent movements of nearby animals, and even a casual movement can cause them to react. Seeing this, Alicia immediately cried and laughed, "After dark, the Delaney outside saw the plants in the woods glowing, so naturally they thought that there was no one inside." I didn't expect it to be these little plants that helped us. ”

[However, the premise that the other party will judge this way is that there are no other animals in this forest.] Why is that?] If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
