In the room, Zong Ge was lying on the bed, his eyes closed.
Zidi stood in front of him, stretched out her hand to open his eyes, and saw two big white eyes.
Ever since Zong Ge fell into coma, his eyes are still rolling.
Zidi sighed.
She wanted to evacuate the royal capital with Zong Ge, but the Utojian family found out and brought her back.
"The situation is quite troublesome!"
"The pearl bubble has bottomed out, how long can it last?"
"Half a month? A week? Or just a few days?"
This is hard to say.
Because the consumption of deception and camouflage is determined by the specific power of investigation and attention.
Obviously, the moment the pearl bubble is consumed, it is the beginning of Zidi's exposure and death.
"Calm down, calm down." Zi Di forced herself to stay rational and calm down.
The group leader left early and the deputy group leader also fell.
The business lady can only rely on herself now.
"Fat Tongue and the others are even weaker, and they also need me..."
"Then, can I just kill out?"
Zidi evaluates her combat power.
"I am a black iron-level necromancer, and I am not very powerful."
"Among the methods of the undead, rat-eyed ghosts and snake-shadow ghosts only have the advantage of the undead faction. They are good for detection, but they are not effective for combat."
"My real combat power is still that set of silver-level ice ghosts."
"Sigh... It would be great if I could complete that incomplete gold-level ice ghost."
The ice-like ghost-type alchemy puppet was obtained by Zidi, Zong Ge and his party after killing Jia Bing.
Several ice ghosts were blessed with the art of deception and camouflage, making them "invisible" and once saved Zidi from water and fire.
Can it be done this time?
Zidi shook her head.
She lacks confidence in facing the Utojian family.
In the past, the ice-like ghost performed well in the Ziteng Shop, mostly because it took advantage of the surprise attack and caught the enemy by surprise. But just like that, Zidi was still teleported to the research room under the ice lake.
If it weren't for Elder Yuanci's rescue, Zidi would have been in great danger.
Now, the Utojian family has taken direct action and placed Zidi, Zong Ge and others under house arrest.
How much performance can the ice ghost perform when the enemy already pays attention to it?
"Zong Ge, it will be too late if you don't wake up." Zidi tried to tear open the healing scroll and treat Zong Ge.
Has no effect.
Zidi has already tried this behavior before.
It's still the same now.
The healing spell power went very smoothly, soaking into Zonge's whole body, but there was no positive reaction.
"Zongge is surrounded by a layer of mysterious power."
"This divine power protected him, so that all his previous hidden dangers were suppressed."
"The divine protective layer will not prevent healing spells at all, but any slight damage to Zonge will trigger the divine protective layer's defense and counterattack."
Zi Di sighed secretly.
She knows more now than before.
"This is the manipulation of the Utoma family."
"The root cause lies in those bottles of Xiaochou red wine."
"But Zonge's situation doesn't seem to be a bad incident..."
The reason for Zidi's guess is the magic contract.
She has signed a cooperation contract with the Satoma family, and they cannot harm each other, otherwise it will trigger the backlash of the contract.
The contract was signed directly with the patriarch of the Satoma family, Mitsurizou.
Although Zidi is only a low-level mage, she has good eyesight and knows that the contract is strong and difficult to violate.
"Unless Mianri has some unique means to terminate the contract unilaterally."
"But even so, as long as the contract is unilaterally terminated, even if it is invalid, I will be able to sense it."
"Zong Ge's current state seems to be good for him. Previously, the butler of the Utojian family had the same intention."
"So, this does not constitute a violation of the cooperation contract, but the immediate side effects are huge."
Zi Di fell into rapid thinking.
The house arrest of the Satoma family gave her a fatal murderous intention.
Another attempt to wake up Zong Ge failed, and Zidi could only look for other ways to get out of trouble.
"Have you contacted Elder Yuanci? Maybe he can find a solution?" Previously, Zidi played the role of Master Guiteng and had contact with Elder Yuanci from the Ziteng Chamber of Commerce.
But immediately, Zi Di shook her head slightly.
This method is not reliable.
Not to mention that Elder Yuan Ci is not completely trusted by Zidi. If he is asked to come to the rescue, Zidi will reveal a lot of secrets. Not only the identity of Master Guiteng, but also the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group and Zidi.
The connection with Di’s identity.
"Does Elder Yuanci really have any way to compete with the Satojian family?"
"He himself is only at Silver level."
"He can avoid being hunted by the empire's secret spies mainly because he relies on the Ice Sculpture Capital itself and lives in the ten thousand year ice lake all year round."
Zidi looked around: "No, the biggest obstacle is the surveillance of the Utojian family!"
"This time I used a new deception and camouflage technique to evacuate, and it was intercepted."
"If I contact Elder Yuanci, can I avoid being discovered by the Utojian family?"
the answer is negative.
Until now, Zidi has not noticed any signs of surveillance.
She must admit: the Satoma family has strong capabilities in surveillance!
"The alchemy skills of the Utopia family are not outstanding. Otherwise, they would not cooperate vigorously with us in the field of potion alchemy."
"Perhaps this surveillance method is based on the bloodline of the other world?"
The bloodline of the other world is the famous space bloodline, which is the foundation of the survival of the Utaro family.
Without breaking or resisting this surveillance method, it would be quite foolish for Zidi to contact Yuan Ci.
And to solve the surveillance on her own side, Zidi has no way to start now.
She herself lacks self-confidence in this area.
But time waits for no one!
After a moment of silence, Zidi thought of another way: "Perhaps, I should use the help of that guy?"
The elder of the Alchemist Guild, Gui Jin, had been sponsored by the Ziteng Chamber of Commerce. In the previous negotiations, Zidi took advantage of him and was forced to submit. He also took the initiative to leak the problem to Zidi.
Zidi prepared in advance and successfully passed the first stage of this year's Nuanxue Cup.
However, because of his outstanding performance, it also triggered the vigilance of the Satoma family, who then forced Zidi to actively give up profits and offer exclusive cooperation terms.
Zidi's contact with the elders can be positive.
Even if the monitoring is not solved, it doesn't matter.
"Actually, I was here when I was able to control everything."
"The Utojian family is very aware of Zongge's situation, and they must have understood it a long time ago. After all, the elders are under my control."
"They will definitely be on guard against this."
"Furthermore, based on Elder Jiu's power and status in the Alchemy Guild, how much of the guild's power can he leverage to help me?"
"If he learns my true current situation, will he really help me with all his strength?"
Zidi frowned, and the more she analyzed, the more desperate she felt.
The noose of death has been put around her neck, making the weight of the boulder in her heart continue to increase.
After thinking about it, Zidi couldn't think of a good solution.
In the end, there is only one way.
"Are you surrendering to the Utama family...?"
"We have a cooperative relationship with the Rijian family, and our interests are deeply tied."
"The reason why the Utopia family puts us under house arrest is not only the magic contract, but also the interest relationship, which makes them have such an attitude and action."
"As long as I give up all my interests, I should be able to get the Utomo family's..."
boom!
Suddenly, an explosion interrupted Zidi's thoughts.
Zidi raised her head like lightning and quickly reached the balcony on the second floor.
The next moment, her pupils shrank hard and she saw a familiar enemy.
He has a slender figure, wears a silver fox mask on his head, and a white robe with various exquisite bright flowers painted on it. While jumping and attacking, he sways petals, and his beauty exudes awe-inspiring murderous intent.
It’s the flower hall!
"He attacked us again. At this point in time, has the news leaked?" Zidi's heart sank to the bottom of her heart, and she thought of a possibility.
All along, she and Zong Ge have been struggling to support the situation and try their best to show strength to the outside world.
They have to do this.
The mysterious force is very large, and gold-level enemies seem to be endless.
Only by showing strength to the enemy can we arouse fear and make the enemy wary and reluctant to take action easily.
But now, Huatang is attacking again, which seems to indicate that this powerful and mysterious enemy already knows their weak nature.
"The Utoma family was monitoring us and saw through my evacuation."
"Could it be that there was a traitor planted here that caused the intelligence to be leaked quickly?"
"Wait, maybe this is a good opportunity for me to escape from the control of the Satoma family?"
Zidi's heart moved, and she sensed an opportunity amid huge risks.
"Master Yaoma, please rest assured. Even if it's Huatang, it's impossible to break through here!" The noble housekeeper opened the door and strode in.
He is the person in charge here, and the reason for coming here is to personally monitor Zidi and Zongge.
The housekeeper of the Utojian family also walked to the balcony, stood beside Zidi, and shouted below: "Huatang, you broke in once, do you want to break in a second time?"
"Do you really not take the Utojian family seriously? Then this time, I will let you pay the price with blood for your contempt."
As soon as he finished speaking, the magic circle was activated.
A hemispherical light shield was instantly generated, covering Huatang in and preventing him from escaping.
The next moment, another white ice wall condensed and formed, spanning between the purple pedicle and the flower hall.
Various ice spells such as snowball and ice arrows were intertwined into a fire net, covering the flower hall.
Huatang chuckled, golden fighting spirit surged from his body, used defensive fighting skills, and charged forward.
He withstood the dense spell attacks and rushed to the ice wall.
He used his gold-level attack skills casually, causing the ice wall to shake violently, and cracks quickly spread throughout the entire wall.
The expression of the noble butler changed: "Do you really think that there is no one in our clan?!"
As he spoke, some plots in the garden were turned over, forming holes in the ground.
Extraordinary beings emerged from the cave one after another.
This is the elite team of the Utoma family - the Air Armor Guards!
Unified equipment, consistent bloodline from the other world, and appropriate fighting skills make the defense of the air armor guards unique and outstanding.
The gold-level attack unleashed by Huatang hit these guards, only stirring up space vortexes on the surface of the guards' equipment.
After the vortex swallowed up the attack, it quickly calmed down.
Almost all of the extraordinary levels of the air armored guards are at the silver level, and more than twenty silver level soldiers surrounded the flower hall.
The flower hall rushes from left to right, with agile movements and as graceful as a butterfly.
The air armored guards relied on their unique defensive capabilities and their tacit cooperation to maintain the encirclement.
Seeing this scene, the noble butler showed a proud smile and said to Zidi: "Master Yaoma, you see, even if there is an attack on Huatang, as long as our clan is fully prepared, it will be nothing."
Zidi's heart felt cold.
The strength of this air armored guard team is quite outstanding. Zidi just had the idea to rely on her personal combat power to break through.
But now, she knows: Even if her ice ghost is blessed with the deception and camouflage technique and becomes "invisible", the attacks launched by the ice ghost will not be effective against the air-armored guards.
"On my own, there is no way I can break through here. The Utopia family has arranged this elite team. It seems they attach great importance to us."
Seeing Zidi's silence, the aristocratic butler looked at Huatang and shouted loudly: "Huatang, let's forget you succeeded last time. This time, you can't make any achievements."
"Let's go quickly. The moment you take action, the alarm has been triggered and a large number of city guards have arrived here!"
Huatang did not evacuate, but suddenly laughed and said: "So that's it."
He attacked again, and this time his offensive produced a noticeable change.
After the gold-level fighting skills are displayed, several consecutive offensives are formed.
The air armor guards can use the air armor vortex to absorb the first attack and barely absorb the second attack, but the third attack is more difficult and few people can do it.
Puff puff……
The air armored guards vomited blood one after another, and the front line was suddenly in chaos.
Huatang did not take advantage of the victory and pursue it, but flew to the edge of the ice wall again and struck hard.
Click...
The ice wall first spread a burst of cracks, and then collapsed completely with a bang.
The aristocratic butler did not change his expression. He maintained his demeanor, because in an instant, a second ice wall condensed and formed, blocking the flower hall.
"It's the Flower Hall!"
"Is it really Huatang?"
"Catching him is a huge achievement."
The city guard arrived at the scene at this time.
What the noble steward said before was not a bluff, he really had directly contacted the city guard to alert him.
The last Hanado attack caused a huge loss of face for the Satoma family. They also gained wisdom and made adjustments and changes.
Unlike the air armored guards who are generally silver-level, the commanders of the city guards are gold-level.
"Huatang! I'm afraid I can't catch this big fish by myself!" The gold-level commander also knew himself. After arriving at the scene, he immediately commanded and set up defenses.
At the same time, he also contacted his colleagues urgently.
This is the Ice Sculpture Capital, with eight leaders and more than eight gold-level city guards!
The appearance of the city guards made the noble housekeeper secretly relieved.
He was still under a lot of psychological pressure.
After all, the other party is Huatang!
Seeing the casualties below, the noble butler sighed in his heart: "After all, the air-armored guards are only silver-level, and they still can't stop Huatang. It has only been a long time since the fight, and he has tried to crack it."
"But I don't need to resist completely. I just need to delay time and let the city guards come to the rescue."
"A flower hall is a flower hall after all, not an ordinary gold-level one."
boom.
There was another loud noise.
But it was the alchemy bomb thrown by Huatang.
In the fire and smoke caused by the bomb, Huatang retreated violently.
"Be careful, he's going to run away!"
"Catch him, don't let him escape!"
Members of the Utopia family and the city guards shouted in unison.
The noble butler immediately controlled the light shield and increased its power to the maximum in an instant, trying to block the flower hall for a little longer.
But the next moment, the defensive magic circle suddenly collapsed. The light shield shook violently, and after a period of chaos, it quickly dissipated.
The flower hall dissipated directly, leaving only a few petals in place.
"Damn it!"
"what happened?"
"The center of the magic circle is deep underground, so it will be attacked?"
"How did Huatang do it? Could it be that he has an accomplice?"
As soon as he thought of this, the aristocratic butler's expression changed drastically and he shouted: "Not good!"
These were his last words.
The next moment, Huatang suddenly appeared behind him and gently stabbed out the dagger in his hand.
Pfft.
The noble butler was as stiff as a puppet, looking down at the tip of the dagger emerging from his heart.
Gold-level fighting spirit surged through his body, tearing at will.
The aristocratic butler stared with death in his eyes, his life was extinguished!
This scene shocked everyone, including Zidi who was standing next to the housekeeper.
Danger!
As a mage, the person being fought was actually close to him.
Moreover, Zidi is only at the black iron level, while Huatang is as high as the gold level!
At the moment of life and death, Zidi's mind was full of fear, and she subconsciously wanted to cast undead spells.
But Huatang's dagger had already pierced her cheek.
That's too late!
For a moment, Zidi seemed to be trapped in an ice cave, her body and mind filled with deathly silence and despair.
Time seemed to slow down at this moment.
Zidi watched helplessly as the dagger filled with golden fighting spirit was about to pierce her eye socket.
Clang.
A hand suddenly appeared and grabbed the dagger accurately.
The dagger stopped suddenly, and the tip was only one centimeter away from Zidi's eyes.
But Zidi's attention did not stay on the dagger.
She stared intently at the big hand that suddenly appeared.
This big hand is covered with dragon scales and is tough and strong. It holds the dagger directly, and it seems that some sparks are produced by the friction.
How familiar!
"Could it be, could it be..."
Zidi quickly shifted her gaze, following the big hand, her gaze passed over the thick and powerful arms, which were also covered with brown and red dragon scales.
