In the common perception of humans in other worlds, the combat effectiveness that magicians can exert in close combat is pitifully low.
This concept is also deeply ingrained in the mind of Guard Chief Reinhardt.
In his opinion, even a being like brown-robed Mikhail could not escape the outcome of defeat if he was brought closer to him in a hurry.
As for a trainee magician who was easily subdued by him not long ago and had no power to resist, what threat could he pose to himself?
When his unprotected neck was scratched by a high-speed rotating stone, the defenseless guard captain Reinhardt was unable to even make any effective dodge action.
Fortunately or unfortunately, due to her emotional fluctuations, Yanni's aim for casting the spell was slightly different from usual, so that the stone piece that was supposed to slit the throat of Guard Captain Reinhardt and the main artery in his neck was only in the latter's neck.
The wound was not deep nor shallow, but far from fatal.
Guard Captain Reinhardt felt a heat in his neck. The moment he realized that he was under attack, he used his practical combat experience to make the most correct reaction at the moment - he rolled down and fell off his horse to avoid staying at a high place.
He became the target, using the cover of him and his companions' mounts as a cover to delay time.
The guards who were following the guard captain Lionheart saw the whole process of Yanni suddenly getting up and attacking the former.
This was too late to warn the guards, whose reaction was no faster than that of their leader. Almost at the same time as Guard Captain Reinhardt turned over and fell from his horse, they raised their weapons, roared with their horses, and rushed towards the daring female murderer.
One to fifty, this is a battle without any suspense.
While some of the guards of the South River Lord's Guard were still hesitating whether to kill the female murderer on the spot or to take some trouble to capture her alive, most of them saw the latter connecting only one end to the fire.
The bundle of lead wires was thrown at them.
In the other world, only a few adventurers who witnessed the restricted duel knew the function of this cloth bag, and the guards of Lord Nanlisifus's guard were obviously not among them.
The results can be imagined.
boom!
The devil pepper bombs that exploded in the crowd had the desired effect. The mounts of the guards raised their front hooves in fear under the explosion that was louder than thunder, knocking the riders on their backs off their horses, and then filled the air.
The strong and irritating gas made these already panicked animals further lose control and run away.
When the guard captain Reinhardt, who was also in a state of extreme embarrassment, finally managed to open his eyes, he happened to see someone riding a horse and riding a horse flying past in front of him.
Why does that horse look so much like my own mount...
"Reinhardt, you idiot!" came the furious voice of Viscount Robinette, "Everyone has run away, why don't you catch up!"
On the bumpy horseback, Yanni, who confirmed that she was with the Lord of South Rivers' Guards, held the reins of the horse with one hand and steady Karl, who was still unconscious on the horseback, with the other hand. There was no trace of joy on his face.
The devil pepper bomb Shi Junjun gave them as a parting gift came in handy less than an hour later, allowing Yanni, who had no chance to escape from the situation just now, to win the horse with Carl almost unscathed.
escape.
A layer of water film covering the face prevented Jenny and Carl from being affected by the devil pepper bomb, but their skin was still burning and painful after being contaminated by the irritating gas produced after the explosion.
But this was nothing to Yanni who was already on the road to escape. The moment she threw Shi Junjun's parting gift to the guards of Lord Nanlisifus's guard, the crime she committed was already worse than the latter's.
Not much lighter.
As they galloped on the road south of Rebellion until dusk, Yanni finally saw that somewhat familiar figure from behind.
"Shi Junjun!"
The girl who heard this cry originally thought that she had experienced auditory hallucinations after traveling to another world, but the second cry that followed quickly shattered her original thoughts.
Yanni? Why did she come...
After seeing clearly the faces of the rider and the man on the horse, the girl suddenly felt angry and had an ominous premonition.
The horse that had carried the two of them all the way was exhausted. When it stopped beside Shi Junjun, its knees weakened, almost knocking Yanni to the ground as she was about to turn over and dismount.
"Yanni, why are you here? And what's wrong with Karl..."
Junjun asked hurriedly as he hurriedly supported Yanni.
"Look into my eyes." The panting Yanni did not answer the girl's question immediately. Instead, she stared at the latter with wide eyes, "Are you and Viscount Robinette involved?"
Celebrating the holidays?”
After hearing this question, Shi Junjun was silent for a long time, and finally nodded slightly.
"The people from the Lord's Guards of Nanlisifus said that you are a wanted criminal who has committed many crimes..." Yanni looked into the eyes of the girl who was very close in front of her and spoke word by word: "Now I want to
Tell me yourself whether you have committed those crimes."
"No." Shi Junjun didn't avoid her gaze at all. She looked directly into Yanni's eyes and said, "I am not guilty."
There was no hesitation in her voice, and her eyes never wavered.
These are not the eyes of a liar.
After hearing this answer, Yanni did not immediately look away. After she and Shi Junjun continued to look at each other for an unknown amount of time, Yanni's eyes turned red as if a very heavy burden had been lifted.
If those crimes were really committed by Shi Junjun, then everything she and Karl had just done would be meaningless...
Fortunately, Shi Junjun's character did not make everything they just did valuable.
"Those in the South River Lord's Guards wanted Karl to tell you where you were going, but he was unwilling. After that, the brown-robed magician who was personally protecting Viscount Robinette used the soul-searching technique on Karl...
..”
Yanni, who quickly explained everything to Shi Junjun, held back the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes, and continued: "Fortunately, you had the devil pepper bomb you gave me when you left... But Carl was used by them.
I have learned the Soul Searching Technique and my spirit has been greatly traumatized. I don’t know when I will wake up..."
After listening to what Yanni described, she couldn't help biting her lip.
She never expected that the pervert noble would be so crazy and crazy... that he would treat human life as something as trivial as grass and mustard.
It seems that the disease in this other world is much more serious than she thought, and it has reached the point where she has to undergo major surgery...
