"Why aren't we allowed to leave the harbor?!" a gorgeously dressed girl asked the harbour guard with a stiff look on her face as hard as a machine in the harbor on the banks of the Mankar River, "All the goods I bought are going to rot." ”

Her beautiful face was full of anxiety and anger, and if it weren't for the old servant next to her who kept pulling her, she would probably have to scuffle with the guards.

The guard, apparently ignoring her anger, repeated in a mechanical tone: "The key culprits are currently being apprehended, and no ship is allowed to leave the harbor without permission." ”

"You ......" The anger on the girl's face increased, and she was about to scold, but the guard was already a little bored, and he pointed to the red-robed mage who was patrolling with a group of soldiers not far away: "That's Lord Moramas, the port patrolman, if you need it, you can talk to him." ”

After the guard finished speaking, he turned around and left, the girl's eyelids jumped a few times, clenched her fists, and finally did not dare to reason with the red-robed mage.

Merchants who come and go in Serre know that theorizing with the red-robed mage is risky.

"Robben, what should I do?" she turned to ask the old servant who had been helping her to suppress her anger, "The wine is fine, but the meat of those beasts is half moldy, and if we delay for a few more days, will we not get any grains this time?"

"This ......" The old servant's eyes rolled, and finally he could only embarrass himself: "Miss Fina, we can't help it." ”

"Damn, this is the first time I've represented my family in the offshore business. The girl covered her head with her hands in frustration: "I knew that this kind of thing would happen, why did I come to this unfortunate place...... Hmm!"

Before she finished speaking, her mouth was blocked by Robben:

"Miss, don't talk nonsense. ”

The old servant was sweating profusely.

Although the Searles are much more civilized now than they used to be, if such words fall into the ears of the red-robed mages, their reaction is worth speculating.

What is certain is that as long as it provokes the anger of the red-robed mage in the slightest, even if the foreign exchange created by this merchant ship for Searle is high, it will be unlucky.

"I'm so angry!" the teenage merchant named Fina stomped her feet, her slightly thick but cutely shaped eyebrows curled, and she muttered something to the patrol of the harbor, and finally lowered her face: "This will not work, I must escape." ”

"Uh......" Robben wiped the corners of his hot forehead and said with a smile: "Miss, don't mess around." ”

"Messing around?" Fina picked the corners of her mouth and raised her chin, her rhetorical question tinged with sarcasm.

What is the meaning of chaos? The first time you do business for the organization, you dare to run to this place in Serre, is there any more chaos?

Of course, escaping also needs a chance, and although she is bold, she is not a pure fool.

She glanced at the patrolling red-robed and guards, squinted her eyes and snorted softly.

The beads of sweat on the servant's forehead grew denser.

......

The raging flames rose from the abyss, turning into patches of heatless light and shadow, and even in the dormitory of the Institute of Advanced Studies dozens of yards away, there were sporadic fires rising.

A moan floated out of her mouth, her eyelashes trembled slightly, the hard texture of the metal plate that her back touched made her uncomfortable, she tried to move her limbs, the confined feeling made her eyes tightly closed, and she opened them forcefully, and saw a pair of red eyeballs filled with anger facing her motionlessly.

She seemed to understand something, and as soon as her throat moved, a mouthful of saliva squirted onto the face to which the eyes belonged.

"Despicable bitch. Lifar Odyssillon straightened up, wiped the saliva from his face with his hands, and stomped on the stomach of the imprisoned woman, who only snorted, but he screamed as if he had suffered some greater pain, and covered his lower body with both hands.

"Hahahaha~" As if she understood something, Lanny laughed happily until tears came out of her eyes: "Ha, it seems that the divine skills of Lord Kosus's attendants are not very good, Lifal, they didn't fix your parts." ”

This kind of severe limb injury, no matter how effective the healing spell, will have to be delayed for a while if it is to be fully effective.

It's not a problem with the magic itself.

"Damn it, damn it. Lifal Odyssillon's eyes were red, and he leaned over her chin even more furiously, and hissed like a poisonous snake: "So you didn't escape from my palm, I said a long time ago, what is mine is mine, you can't escape to the ends of the earth, do you hear?

"Phew!" Lannie spat again, but it was missed by the male mage's prepared dodge - the mouth was not as precise as the blade, but the words in his mouth were sharper than the blade: "Haha, I fell into your hands, but what can you do now? Look, look at your pitiful face, it's really disappointing, if I were you, I would find a wall and kill me now." ”

"Poor? I don't use that word more than you. Lifar snorted coldly, and suddenly laughed: "What are you resisting? You are mine sooner or later, your father has given you to me, and we will give him a corresponding future, of course he deserves it, even if you don't want to, what can you do? Maybe you have other hope?"

He rolled his eyes and laughed more and more madly: "Who to count on? That man, the lost dog who was hunted down to the point that the whole of the Hell? Tell you, he is finished, no one can save him, even if my mentor and the family council have no time to do anything, the border ports of the whole country are blocked, and so many high-ranking mages in the Mage Guild are besieged, where can he go? Wait, wait until I take his rotten head to cut off that unrealistic delusion in your heart." ”

"Delusional, delusional what?" Lanny sneered: "What about the chief? It's not that there is nothing to do with him, I still remember your great chief adult's idiot appearance in front of him, what are you compared to him? A dog who relies on his uncle, grandfather, teacher, and younger brother to show off his might? In addition to being born well, what are you better than him? As far as I know, all your achievements up to now have been achieved by dogs fighting people, hahaha, what were you doing when he threatened the chief? Although I always thought that all men were scum, the difference between rock powder and rotten sawdust was clear, and your tone full of superiority was ridiculous compared to him. ”

She squinted, as if noticing some kind of breakthrough that could take advantage of her tongue, attacking and laughing at the man in front of her as much as she could.

"You?!" Lifal's eyes jumped, and the words deeply hurt his dignity as a man- Because of a serious injury in a certain position, he was very sensitive to this kind of thing, and he became furious, and tore the woman's not heavy layer of clothing, a dazzling color made him breathe violently twice, and suddenly let out a scream, and again tightly covered his crotch, and this violent pain caused him to roll on the ground for a while, and finally stood up in a rage, and turned his back to Lanny, who was laughing, and did not even have the courage to turn his head - this one had almost killed him.

"Tumirin! He held on to the minotaur sculpture next to the door of the bedroom and clammed the glowing bull's head aloud.

"My lord, what's the matter?" a woman of twenty-seven or eighteen years old walked in, she was scantily clad and every inch of her skin exuded an indescribable charm, and when she entered the room, she threw a wink at Lifal, but this undoubtedly had a negative impact on Lifal, he howled again and covered his crotch, and fled without looking at the woman, and pointed back at Lanny, who was laughing on the iron bed, as he left: " Clean her up, train her to be a qualified sex slave, and use it when I heal my injuries, and don't let me hear such laughter again then. ”

His tone was full of exasperation.

"Huh?" the woman who had just entered the room looked at Lannie, her lips pursed from the corner of her eye.

......

"How can you be sure he'll escape here?"

Blackhall is a well-known research institute in Searle, and as a medium-sized city adjacent to this institute, there are many offices in Searle's various institutions, and Frass is no exception.

Right now, Litanya who had arrived via teleportation was questioning his servant Euraza while a group of agents and low-level mages listened to the debate.

The two Ring Mentors and the four low-level red-robed were all of Flass's power here, as well as a dozen or so apprentices and a dozen agents who could be mobilized - these forces may not seem like much, but they are actually very elite.

As Serre's most developed intelligence agency, Frass agents are highly trained, and most of them are experienced in battle, because sometimes the missions are often carried out against high-level spellcasters, and they have unique experience with mages - for many mages, these agents are more feared than high-level spellcasters, and some high-level agents can even fool high-level mages with powerful spellcasting ability. ,

And Litania even secretly recruited a group of men from some nearby cities, large and small, and assembled a team of hundreds of people, including mages and secret agents, and this lineup is sure to deal with an archmage - the premise is, of course, that it is well prepared.

"My lord, if you were him, where would you go?" Ulassa bowed his head at Litanya's inquiry.

Litania groaned for a moment, tapping her fingers on the table.

It wasn't that he didn't know about Penny Thean's situation, and if he thought about it, it was indeed imperative to leave Serre urgently, and to get out of the mage tower in Oseia and find the nearest way to leave the country...... That's probably the port.

Swift, swift, and caught off guard, it didn't take even two days to drift from the hilly terrain of the middle and upper reaches of the Palados River to the lower reaches of the river, and the garrison here was indeed relatively lax - after all, from the point of view of Neveron's men, this was their territory, and the fugitives they hunted down didn't run far away from them and come here to seek their death?

Maybe it's wishful thinking, but if you think about it from another angle, if Penny Sean didn't come to this place, where would he go?

Turning in other directions, it was obviously not much safer, and if you continued to stay in Sergey, it was obviously not much less dangerous - the country was littered with red-robed mage towers.

And here, there is the possibility of finding an opportunity to escape.

Thinking of this, he had to agree that the old man's consideration had his reasons, and Litania nodded, but did not immediately affirm: "Well, but he may not be here." ”

"Even if there is a possibility that it will not be there, it is necessary for us to do some arrangements here. Olasa smiled, "If our arrangement falls through and proves that he ran somewhere else, we can catch up - we can teleport and he can't, you know, if you take Osea's mage tower as the center, and calculate the distance in all directions, this is the fastest and most likely place for him to escape from Serre." ”

Litania nodded, picked up a picture on the table, it was no longer a red robe and bald head, but with black hair and slender eyebrows, it no longer looked so sharp, a little more soft, but it made him look a little dazzling: "What do we do now? Let the agents take this thing and find it?"

This image is taken from the wanted warrant issued by Neveron, but after seeing Penny's true face, Orassa suggested that Litania find a group of red robes and use spells to fill in the bald head's hair, which looks exactly like Penny's current one.

"No, this one is for our spies, but this is what we need. Olasa shook her head and pulled out another image.

"This one?" Litania looked at the picture in Orasa's hand and frowned, because the image of Penny Sean on this image was still bald, and he was just about to say what was the use of using this one, when he suddenly noticed some details, and his eyebrows skipped twice.

"Your Excellency, you have noticed that it is a little different from the first version of the wanted warrant issued by Neveron. Olasa smiled, "I've done some embellishments for it. ”

He put the original wanted warrant issued by Neveron and the picture of their modified law on the table, and put the picture in his hand in the middle of the two.

Litania looked at the three pictures carefully and nodded: "Hmm, the new one you made seems to be the one we have in our hands...... It's very similar. ”

The bald version of the photo of Penny and the photo of the haired version of Penny look completely two people, but the new one, after retouching, is a little more similar to the haired version of Penny.

Litania frowned.

He knew what that meant, and it meant that holding the picture, which was bald, he could make out the long-haired Penny within a few eyes, and even if he couldn't, he would look familiar.

"We made this picture into a wanted warrant and put it next to some hotels. Oraza leaned over: "That when he enters the city, he will see these wanted notices, and of course he will feel dangerous, but he will not suspect that we have found this place, but if we put up an image of him with hair, it will not only arouse his vigilance, for we may only be the only ones who have seen his long hair, but we will also be suspicious of the chief subordinates in the locality." ”

"But what's the use?" Litanya's eyebrows tightened, "It makes him feel dangerous." ”,

"Of course it worked. Olasa smiled, "This will force him to a few specific locations...... Because of the existence of these patterns, he would never dare to stay in a tavern or a private house...... It will save us a lot of time. ”

The inn at the time of martial law must have had someone watching over all the people who came and went, and with this deadly graphic, the threat to the exiles was obviously enormous - as for illusion or transfiguration, there were special people among the patrolmen to deal with such things.

In this case, Searle's arresting agency will not let go of every suspect.

Litania was stunned, gradually showed a sudden look, and nodded.

And by that time, he must have been sleepy. Oraza's smile was full of certainty: "The fugitive man will not have a high quality of sleep, and more importantly, he will have a little girl with him." ”

......

"Nephie, are you sleepy?"

Dumping the boat in a weedy pile on the riverbank outside the city, and infiltrating the city in the middle of the night with the Invisible Ring and the Nexus of Patyak's abilities, Nephies lay quietly on Penny's shoulder like a kitten, yawning occasionally or twice.

"Hmm. She looked up, her eyes half-wide open, and nodded her chin obediently.

"You can't get a good night's sleep for so long on the ship. Penny sighed.

"Yes, I'm sorry, my lord, I'm seasick. Nephi hung his head.

"Seasickness?" the mage smiled helplessly, and suddenly sighed again: "Nephie, you really don't know what it means to be afraid. ”

"Sir, haven't you only slept for a short time in the past two days?" the girl puffed out her cheeks and tapped the mage's eyes.

"Don't mess around, when you find a hotel, maybe you can have a good rest. Penny frowned and ruffled with his hair, trying to make it look a little messier.

In this way, the gap with his bald image is even greater.

However, when he reached a tavern, his footsteps stopped under a wall.

He stared at the wanted notice attached to it, his eyebrows furrowed.

He felt in trouble.

He sensed that this picture was a little different from the original wanted post, but he couldn't say what was the difference, but he just had a feeling...... This picture will cause him big trouble.

His eyes narrowed, and he began to wonder if someone superior had modified the wanted warrant to make the avatar on it look less rigid...... In short, when he first saw this picture, he felt that something was wrong.

"My lord, this picture ......" Nephi looked at the wanted notice, then at Penny's face, and frowned, "Your hair and eyebrows aren't enough." ”

"Isn't enough?" the mage twitched his lips twice, exhaled, and looked up at the night sky, "It seems that the hotel can't be lived." ”

He had a little bit of a feeling of helplessness.

Rest is necessary on the way to escape, and if you want to find opportunities in the city, you also need a place to stay, and when the danger of staying in a hotel is too high, you must find a place where there is no one.

For example, some abandoned buildings or monuments.

There aren't many places like this in Mankar.

"It's dirty. Waving his arm to open the stale air, Nephi slapped the dusty bed, as if he could no longer hide his physical and mental exhaustion, and fell on it, panting like a puppy, and sticking out half of his tongue.

"Little girl. Penny slapped her buttocks, "Obviously lying on top of me all the time." ”

"Right...... I'm sorry, Lord Sean. She sat up shyly: "I know you're tired too. ”

"If you are tired, you need to rest. The mage lay on the bed and stroked the little girl's long silky hair, "Sleep." ”

"Yes...... Be. She lay down, leaning on Penny's arm, digging her nose deep into her robe, as if to avoid the rotting dust.

It seems that after a long escape, there is finally a moment of leisure.

Of course, it's not that simple.

It wasn't long before Penny noticed that many feet were coming from all directions toward the dilapidated old mansion.
