Chapter 16: Spells

By this time, Claude had already run to the city with Betsy and her partner.

"No, I can't run. Ellie gasped tiredly.

"I don't know why these people are arresting me, and now that guy doesn't know what happened. Betsy also ran for a long time and gasped.

"Don't worry, Betsy, although Ashur is usually very improper, he is still very reliable at critical times, and those people alone can't stop Ashur. Ellie gasped and comforted Becky.

"But the strength of those people is not weak, even if Ya Xiu has the strength close to the eighth order, I am afraid it will not be easy to escape from those people, let's hurry up and run a few more steps to inform the academy to send someone to save Ya Xiu." Betsy looked at Ellie anxiously.

"Are you worried about me?" said Asher lazily on the roof not far away.

Looking at Asher, who was already safe. The anxious look on Becky's face was swept away, and she turned her head and said lightly, "I just don't want to owe you a favor."

"Ashur, why are you here, aren't you going to stop those people?" said Ellie, looking at Ashur in surprise.

"I saw that you had already run away, and I was too lazy to entangle with them, so I took the opportunity to catch one of them, and then took the road back and waited for you, but you were too slow to keep me waiting here for a long time. Asher looked at Elle and the others and said lazily.

"You bastard, Becky was worried that you wouldn't be able to escape, and you were so laid-back. Elle looked at Asher and said angrily.

"Don't worry, there may be a lot of strength in this world above me, but if I want to leave, there are not many who can leave me. Asher looked at Elle and the others and said lazily.

"Cut, you know bragging. Looking at Ashur's expression. Ellie couldn't help but stick out her tongue at Asher.

"Why the hell are those people arresting you, these people all have the strength of the sixth or seventh order, and there are not many forces in Carter City or even the entire empire that can send so many masters. Vermeo asked, looking at Becky.

"I don't know, I didn't offend anyone, right?" Becky said after a moment's thought.

Looking at Becky's uncertain expression. Vermeo couldn't help but stroke his forehead helplessly.

"Didn't I say that I caught one of them, if you want to know anything, just ask this person, he has been sealed by me with the magic in his body. Asher said as he threw out a man in black from behind him.

"You've really caught one of them, and you're doing a good job. Elle complimented as she looked at the man in black on the ground

Elle woke up the man in black and asked, "What's your name, who are you, what is your purpose, why are you arresting Becky?"

Watching Elle ask herself so many questions at once. The man in black couldn't help but be a little speechless, although he felt that the power of his body was sealed, he still said stiffly: "I don't know anything"

"I don't know, Ashu won't be stupid by you, how could he not even know his name?"

"Why, I just sealed this guy's power. Asher looked at Elle and explained.

"Could it be that this guy was a fool in the first place?" said Ellie, tilting her head to look at the man in black.

"Probably not, how could a fool reach the sixth ladder and run over to kidnap Becky" Ashur looked at the man in black and shook his head.

"Maybe he was beaten stupid after reaching the sixth ladder, and as for kidnapping Betsy, the fool had better make use of it, and giving him a candy will make him obedient. Ellie thought for a moment and said as a matter of course.

"It's not entirely impossible for you to say that," Asher thought for a moment and nodded.

The man in black listened to Asher and Elle singing and almost vomited blood in anger, he said he didn't know, he didn't want to answer, didn't really know......

"My name is Lance, and I don't know anything else. Lance looked at Asher and Ellie.

"Oh, you only know that your name is Lance, and you don't know who you are working for and you don't know what purpose you came to arrest people, well, you are a fool. Elle looked at Lance and nodded.

Lance rolled his eyes, not bothering to pay attention to Ellie. He felt that if he continued to talk, he would be driven crazy by Ellie's brain.

"Don't stop talking. Ellie wanted to ask again, but at this moment the sudden change occurred, Lance's eyes suddenly widened, a painful look appeared on his face, a strange spell appeared on his face and body, and then he foamed at the mouth and fainted.

Ellie was taken aback when she saw this. Exclaimed, "What's the situation? I haven't finished asking yet."

Ashur walked up to Lance with a solemn look in his eyes and felt his pulse. Said lightly: "It's dead"

"Dead, did you kill yourself by poisoning?" asked Ellie, looking at Asher.

"It's not that he committed suicide by taking poison, but someone put a curse on his body, and now that person has activated the curse, so he died. Asher said lightly after observing Lance's body.

"What is a spell?" said Ellie, looking at Ashur, wondering.

"It is a technique that uses a combination of alchemy and magic array, specifically to let people take a special alchemy potion, and then carve a relative magic array on their body, and then drop the blood of the person who took the alchemy potion on the magic crystal, you can remotely manipulate the life and death of this person, but this technology is quite complicated, as far as I know, no one will use it. Asher looked at the crowd and explained.

"It sounds complicated, but now that this person is dead under the spell, it seems that there are still people on this continent who will use it. Ellie shook her head and looked at Ashur helplessly.

"Now that the clue is broken, I knew that the leader of the team was arrested. Asher sighed.

"Although the clues are all broken, it seems that the organization that wants to arrest Betsy must have a lot of power, and there are not many such forces in Carter City or even the East Empire, and sooner or later they will be exposed. Vermeo thought for a moment.

"Well, what Vermeo said is right, this kind of organization with more than a dozen sixth- and seventh-order members is not very few in the entire Easter Empire, and sooner or later it will be exposed, but Betsy still doesn't know why those people want to arrest you, in order to prevent them from making a comeback, you must not live in that house in the suburbs, it is better for you and your partners to move to our guild first, so that it is convenient for us to protect you." Chloe looked at Betsy and suggested.

"Do you want to live in your guild? Why don't you live in my house, Sister Claue, anyway, there is no one in our family now, my father and mother are both working in the imperial city, and they won't come home for several years. Betsy thought for a moment.

"Do you live in your house? Well, our guild place is also a bit small, and it is indeed a bit crowded with so many people living in the guild. Chloe nodded in agreement.

"I'm really sorry Sister Chloe, I didn't expect to cause you such a big trouble. Betsy looked at Chloe and said apologetically.

"You're welcome, this is our mission, and besides, we are classmates and friends in the same academy, and there is no reason not to save you when we see you in danger. Chloe looked at Betsy and said seriously.

"Well, thank you, Sister Croe. Betsy looked at Chloe and thanked her.

"I'm sorry to get you into my trouble. Betsy apologized to her companion.

"It's okay Betsy, we're a group, of course we're blessed and we're in trouble. Livani and Léa looked at Betsy and smiled.

"Thank you, it's nice to have you friends. Betsy looked at everyone and was moved.

"Okay, let's stay at Betsy's house first, and I'll report this to the academy tomorrow. Vermeo thought for a moment and suggested.

"Well, I don't know if Sister Betsy's attack this time is your own fault or the Academy's reasons, and I don't know what measures the Academy will take. Luna said worriedly.

"Don't worry, Betsy is going to hold a concert for the finals of the academy, and if this matter is messed up, the prestige of the academy will also be hit, so the academy will definitely send someone to protect Becky. Vermeo shook his head in affirmation.

Could it be that those people captured Betsy to undermine the prestige of the Academy, but would do so and have the ability to do so...... Could it be some ambitious elements of the empire? Chloe couldn't help but ponder.

Several people walked all the way to Betsy's house, although Betsy's parents were not very high, but the house was not small, it seemed that because Betsy's ancestors were in a high position in the empire, but with the passage of time and the changes of the times, the family did not have a capable successor, causing the family to gradually leave the center of power.
