Chapter 176: Goodbye
The illusion ring, that's not something to mess around, maybe a little bit of luck may win the reputation of "suicide artifact". Lanaya jumped into a clear well, curled up in the bucket and slowly loosened the rope and fell down, making a gesture with her body that controlled the real space with her left hand.
The pain in her body was rapidly disappearing, and when she opened her eyes again, she found herself lying on the uneven wooden table, and the night was bright outside the window, the wind was howling, and the leaves were flying.
Lanaya's state of mind at this time was extremely calm, in stark contrast to the environment outside the window, and when she learned that she had successfully made the illusion ring, she only smiled at Xiao Zi and said thank you.
The sky was about to light up, the wind and sand were gradually subsiding, Lanaya put away the small half-packet of purple phosphorus powder she had bought on the day she returned to the city, and fell her eyes on the paper in front of her. Immersed in writing most of the article, I stopped writing, folded it twice, and put it in the envelope with the illusion ring, and put it in the storage space of the amethyst ring.
Lanaya took out another ordinary note, wrote a sentence on it, and held it in her hand.
As the first rays of morning light shine through the window lattice, Lanaya slung her flashing dagger to her waist and stood by the wall of the room.
"Good morning. ”
Whispers came from the empty room.
......
Angus had risen surprisingly early to-day, and he had dressed haphazardly, ignoring the bruises from the joking fight of the previous night, and rushed out as if he were heading for Lanaya's hut.
When he reached the hut, Angus looked through the window and saw no one.
"Little Seven?"
No one answered.
Angus frowned, simply pushed the door and walked in, looking around, still no one was found.
The windows of this room are bright and clean, the floor is spotless, but the tip of Angus's nose is inexplicably sour.
"No, Xiao Qi, you must still be here......" Angus shook his head, smiled self-deprecatingly, and reached out to poke into the air in the room, "You're still here, aren't you? I'll see you later, right?"
Hidden in the back wall, Lanaya took one last look at Angus and flashed out of the room with all sorts of emotions.
Lanaya circled around and came to Angus's house, the flickering dagger flashed coldly, and the person had arrived in the house, she stuffed the note she had been holding in her hand under the futon, and when the faint flickering dagger regained a faint blue light, she disappeared again.
Before the morning sun could fully leap out of the skyline, Lanaya had left Steve's control with a flickering dagger.
Lanaya thought about it for a long time, but she still wanted to open it. I don't have to be killed by this series of assassination tasks, doing what I can is the premise of everything, if I really don't have this ability, then it's better to go home early, why waste time here...... and feelings.
Steve made a cup of tea and came to his seat, but accidentally spilled the hot tea on the drawings that filled the table. Steve also didn't sleep all night last night, he had a headache all night developing the hallucinatory war, but he was always inexplicably upset.
Maybe it's because of Owen's death, maybe there's another reason. Steve bent down his already shrimp-like waist and was about to pack up the drawings that had long been blurred in handwriting, when there was a knock at the door.
Steve looked out the window at the half of the sky that wasn't yet fully lit, thought about it, and looked at the cat's eye on the door before opening it.
Seeing that it was Angus, Steve was also slightly stunned, he usually wouldn't come to his studio so early.
"My lord, what are your orders today?"
Steve's spirits were a little sluggish, and he waved his hand and said, "Today...... Did you dispose of the woman?"
Angus smiled bitterly, "No, I drove her away." ”
"Don't think I can't see it...... "Steve sneered, "you're emotional." ”
Angus didn't say anything, just stood quietly behind the rickety middle-aged man who was two heads shorter than himself. He caught a glimpse of the blueprints on the table that had been soaked in dark tea, and his mind was aimlessly pondering Steve's mood today.
"Oh, those things, just throw them away. With a real wave of his hand, Steve swept all the drawings into the paper basket, then picked up a round ammunition placed against the wall and said to Angus, "You come with me." ”
Angus resignedly followed Steve, watched as Steve double-locked the studio door, and walked out.
Steve walked slowly, the corners of his mouth hooked down heavily, and his eyes uncharacteristically darkened.
So much so that it took nearly an hour to walk from the studio to the ammunition depot, and on the way, Angus asked Steve if he was grieving Owen's death or hating the woman who troubled him.
Steve didn't answer, and only opened the door to the ammunition depot on his own.
It was the first time Angus had been to such a place, and although he had not smelled it before, this time it was surprisingly strong.
Steve used his specially set psionic code to open the cupboard where the ammunition was stored, put the spherical ammunition in his hand, and closed it again. Everything he did seemed so ordinary, but both of them knew that something had changed and that there was no going back!
Owen is dead!
"Angus. Steve propped up the only table in the room and muttered, "Chris is a well-mannered man, better suited to managing accounts and keeping track of recipes, Simon's arrogant nature must not be bothered to come here to guard the ammunition depot, and Rook is rude, let him come here for fear of making trouble." I'll leave it to you later, is there a problem?"
Angus shook his head.
Steve nodded, gave Angus a serious look, and handed him a key.
The weight of the key was a bit heavy, and Angus felt that way.
Then, Steve checked every corner of the ammunition depot to make sure there were no mistakes, and then walked out the door, leaving behind a small back, and a shadow that was dragged extremely tall by the slanting sun.
"When the sun goes down, lock the door and come back. ”
When Steve was gone, Angus sat down at his desk, hunched over, and he didn't know what to do when he had lost his job.
Waiting and waiting are often not the same thing, but they both drag on for an incredibly long time in private. Angus propped his chin and stared at the sun that was fading over the doorbeam, praying in his heart that Lanaya would not be discovered by Steve.
......
What Angus would never have imagined was that Lanaya was laughing at his actions. The hook she had pulled with him in the carriage had already put the mini psionic trap on it, and to put it horribly, she knew what Angus was doing.
Lanaya came to the bazaar with ease, found a young man in a messenger's suit, took out the envelope that had been prepared for the evening, and said, "Give this to a man named Angus." He will come to the north gate of the bazaar to-day, and I will take the trouble to give him a message that he must open this envelope at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, not a minute earlier or a minute later. ”
The young man smiled politely at Lanaya, "Thirty purple coins, my lady." ”
Ranaya handed over the money, thanked the young man, and hurried away.
It was still early, and the gates had not yet been opened. Lanaya walked to the foot of the city wall, looked up, and saw a long ladder on the roof in the upper left, which was of a decent height, so she climbed up it three times and two times.
Her right calf was still a little sore, and things that were usually not difficult for her were now a little difficult, but she was able to climb to the top of the city wall without any problems.
Moments before the soldier standing on the wall turned his head, Lanaya launched a flashing dagger and jumped into an uninhabited sentry post in the opposite direction.
Lanaya looked down from the small window where only one person could poke his head out, the wall was fifty meters high, at least fifty meters high, and it was impossible to survive if she jumped, and the normal staircase would always be guarded by soldiers...... Soldier?
With a flash of inspiration, Lanaya almost forgot about it, and she pulled out the black-iron Sunset Legion medal and strode up the stairs.
Naturally, she walked out of the city at a normal pace for half an hour, leaving the medal in the grass beside her.
Simeka Hill Town, goodbye.
Lanaya hadn't forgotten the location of the waterfall that day, and she was finally able to go and see what was going on there, having been freed from some of her restraints for the time being.
Oh no, the waterfall has long since dried up......
In the afternoon, Lanaya went to the no-man's land deep in the mountains and forests, and let Xiao Zi and Arowana come out to bask in the rare sun.
Gna said that this is a cliff caused by the war of gods thousands of years ago...... Arowana, you take me up to have a look. ”
The Arowana obeyed, transformed into a purple-scaled dragon, and slowly rose to the sky with Lanaya.
Sure enough, they found an inconspicuous cave in the middle of the cliff, and Lanaya rolled over and jumped on it, leaving the Arowana waiting outside to meet her.
Purple followed Lanaya deep into the cave, it was quite spacious and the dirt around it was dry, and if anyone else discovered this place, they would never believe that there was a waterfall here before.
Lanaya walked in for a while, and the light from the outside became dimmer until it was so dark that she couldn't see her fingers, and Lanaya had to use psionic lighting. When I looked up, a stone door stood three meters away in front of me, and the stone door seemed to be embedded in the earthen wall, and the lines on it could be seen that it was a period of age.
It is clearly a cliff caused by the war of the gods, why do people still dig a cave from the middle and build this stone gate, is there any mystery hidden in it?
Puzzled, Lanaya walked over slowly and pushed the stone door.
"Bump", the stone gate fell directly inward, shaking her feet numbly, and the dust raised made Lanaya choke and cough.
It was still dark inside the stone gate, and Lanaya slapped the dust off her body, re-lit the psionic light in her hand, and pinched her nose and stepped in.
Xiao Zi was originally following Lanaya, but when it was about to pass through this door, it was blocked by an invisible barrier, and it fell to the ground with a thud before it reacted.
In this uncharted territory, who knows what dangerous things will suddenly pop up. When Lanaya heard the voice, she immediately turned her head vigilantly, but she didn't find anything, only Xiao Zi who was lying upside down on the ground.
"Master, I can't get in. Xiao Zi flew up again and said with a bitter face.
