The mysterious man stopped opposite Ma Yun and took off the hood of his cloak with his backhand, revealing a gorgeous and gloomy face.
"Estna, it's you!" Ma Yun couldn't help but exclaimed, "Why are you here?"
"Haha... Of course I came to the Emerald City to settle a score with you." The hag's daughter sneered, "Little village girl, I have been following you since you walked out of the hotel door, but you didn't notice it at all, so be wary.
It’s terribly low. This really disappoints me! It seems that you were well protected by your companions in the past adventurous days.”
Ma Yun's face changed slightly, and she couldn't help but secretly regret her previous impulsiveness and willfulness. She should never have left her companions and ran out to cause trouble alone.
"Little village girl, I heard that Master Oz invented a flying machine that can take you back to your hometown. Is this true?" Istna asked.
"That's true, but -"
Before Ma Yun finished speaking, she was interrupted by Istna.
"Since you can return to your hometown without resorting to the magic of silver shoes, what reason do you have to continue to occupy the property that should belong to me?"
The hag's daughter stretched out her hand with longing in her eyes.
"Give me back the silver shoes, this is your last chance!"
"Not yet." Ma Yun shook her head helplessly, "Master Oz is not sure whether the magic rocket can successfully reach the world of Vales."
"Little village girl! I said this is your last chance. If you don't appreciate me, don't blame me for being rude!" Istna said angrily.
Whether out of friendship or the difference in strength between them, Ma Yun didn't want to challenge Istna here.
Thinking quickly, she suddenly had an idea.
"Little hag, I have a good idea! You might as well ride the rocket with me. If you get home successfully, I will return the silver shoes to you, and you can ask Master Oz to send you back with the rocket."
"What kind of a good idea is this?!" Istna raised her voice in anger, "You already said that rockets are not safe. What if the rocket fails to reach the world of Vales and instead takes us to the bottomless abyss or something like that?
place, what should I do?”
"This..." Ma Yun was speechless for a moment.
Before she could figure out how to appease Estna, the hot-tempered little hag had already fired a series of "magic missiles".
Ma Yun is now a level 8 weapon master, and Istna has been promoted to a level 11 mage. Coupled with the talent bonus of the Night Hag's bloodline, Ma Yun is not her opponent in a one-on-one duel.
If she is allowed to give full play to her skills and tactics and leapfrog Istna in a duel, it cannot be said that there is no hope of winning.
Unfortunately, at the moment of the conflict between the two parties, Ma Yun was forcibly released from the "trance" state, and could only watch Dorothy being beaten by Estna.
Gao Fei and Jiang Feng were also watching the showdown.
Their mentality was more peaceful than Ma Yun's, and they soon realized that Istna was only fierce on the surface, but showed mercy at every turn. Otherwise, Dorothy, whose HP was less than 1/3 of her own, would have been beaten to death.
The little hag gained the upper hand and once again ordered Dorothy to hand over the silver shoe.
"Give me back the silver shoes, and I can keep your life!"
Dorothy bit her lip stubbornly, refusing to give in.
As the sky grew brighter, the roar of engines could be heard from the rocket launch site across the wall. Istna also became a little impatient and waved her hand to cast a "Lightning Beam".
Click!
A bolt of lightning tore through the dawn sky, hitting the girl right in the chest.
Dorothy was knocked down by the lightning beam and fell to the base of the wall. Her face was bloodless and she fell into a coma.
"Hmph! Be honest now!"
Istna walked towards the unconscious girl and planned to take off the silver shoes from her feet.
At this moment, an angry lion roar suddenly came from behind, as well as the sound of rapid footsteps.
When Dimitri the Lion, Vita the Scarecrow and Nick the Tin Woodman came up in the morning, they discovered that Dorothy was missing. They were afraid that she had been kidnapped by bad guys, so they hurried out to look for her.
As soon as they got here, they heard the roar of lightning, and happened to see Estna cast a spell to knock Dorothy unconscious, and rushed to rescue their friend.
The Lion, Scarecrow and Tin Woodman teamed up to deal with Estna, and although it was a bit difficult, they successfully prevented her from getting close to the unconscious Dorothy.
Not long after, the magnetism of the mechanical dog Toto disappeared, he got rid of the suppression of the trash can, and ran back to join the battle besieging the little hag.
At this time, the sky was getting brighter, and many residents of Emerald City woke up early to watch the launch of the magic rocket.
Passing by this place, they saw someone fighting. They all stopped to watch and talked in low voices.
Istna was entangled by the lion, the scarecrow, the tin man and the mechanical dog, and she felt increasingly anxious and agitated.
As more and more passers-by watch the excitement, Master Oz may receive news at any time and rush to the scene.
If the other party has this powerful mage joining them, it may be their turn to be in trouble.
The more Istna thought about it, the more uneasy she became, so she gave up grabbing the silver shoes and raised her hand to fire a "magnetized cone".
Poor Toto was magnetized again, and Nick was also affected by the strong magnetic field.
The mechanical dog and the Tin Woodman, attracted by the strong magnetic field, involuntarily moved closer together and could not separate.
Istna took the opportunity to break through the siege, raised her hand to hold up the heart-shaped gem, and with a flash of silver light, she escaped into the spiritual world and disappeared without a trace.
The Scarecrow and the Lion didn't care about chasing the little hag, and hurried to the base of the wall to wake up Dorothy.
Miss Master woke up, suddenly realized that it was getting late, and hurriedly ran to the rocket launch site.
It's a pity that I came a step late. I hurried and hurried slowly, but in the end I couldn't catch up.
Looking at the Oz rocket with its blazing tail flying thousands of feet into the air, Dorothy was deeply shocked and couldn't help crying.
Just when she was sad and disappointed, a ball of red light suddenly appeared in front of her.
The girl held the ball of light with tears in her eyes.
This ball of light is the energy crystallization of the 3-ring "Short Message Technique", and it is also a carrier for conveying words and texts.
When Dorothy held the ball of light, she immediately heard the voice of Master Oz in the rocket, echoing in her mind.
"Go to Quedlin Township and find Glinda, the Witch of the South. Only she can help you get home!"
Master Oz's last advice rekindled a glimmer of hope in the girl's heart, which was almost overwhelmed by grief.
Yes, this adventure is not over yet, she will continue to find her way home!
At this time, the Lion, Scarecrow and Tin Woodman also rushed to the rocket launch site. They were trying to comfort Dorothy, but found that the girl had already wiped away her tears and cheered up.
"Friends, it's really a pity that I couldn't get on the rocket. Fortunately, Master Oz also helped me point out another way home. Next, I plan to go find Glinda."
