"Ms. Christine, why do I think I should hide somewhere where no one is? This way I can wait until Master Rikka wakes up." Perseus looked up at the huge hazy silhouette in the distance, feeling a little unsure.
said.
"Sister, Perseus is right this time. I also think we should not fall into danger again." Although Hastur's eyes were wrapped in black cloth, he still had ears, so he naturally gave the answer.
Suggestions.
Two months later, the four of them stopped and went in circles, and finally arrived at a small hill less than 10,000 meters away from Iron Oak City. However, neither Perseus nor Hastur was very happy.
I don't understand this "stupid" behavior of deliberately approaching the enemy.
"As long as you have enough ability, the most dangerous place is the safest. Perseus can't understand it. Could it be that Hastur, who is an assassin, can't figure it out too."
"We are far less familiar with the Pava Federation than those cavalry, so instead of blindly looking for a hiding place, we might as well choose another town."
"Even if we still can't escape misfortune in the end, then we can let more enemies accompany us on the road! I don't intend to die in obscurity, let alone die in the hands of those little characters!"
Ever since Christine used up her last magic crystal, ever since she robbed a caravan for the first time. This previously elegant and arrogant mixed-blood elf archmage has become like a demon who has completely unleashed his nature, doing whatever is dangerous.
, whoever dares to show his murderous intention will be killed.
But it is precisely because of this that Christine has faint signs of breaking through again. But now she suffers from not having enough magic crystals to assist her and not having enough time to practice, so she has to bury the matter deep in her heart and wait until later.
We will make plans in the future when the time is right.
Perseus' two severed arms were hidden under his robes, and he stepped into the Iron Oak City gate first. Hastur covered his face with a gray linen hood so that outsiders could not see that he was already blind. In the end, he was defeated
Christine disguised herself as a middle-aged woman, carrying the unconscious Rikka and finally walked in, as if she was no longer a peak powerhouse at this moment, but a scholar who came to seek help to treat her daughter's drowsiness.
The mother of the disease.
"Ms. Christine, where should we go now? How about we find a place first? We can't just stay in the alley."
Perseus was worried about Rikka's safety, so after the four of them met in a dark alley, he was the first to ask. Although he had never done this kind of thing himself, he had watched Rikka many times, so naturally he could
Deal with it easily.
"Well... what do you think about going there? Since we're already here, let's just get closer." Christine heard this and pointed to the buildings not far away and said softly.
After hearing this, Perseus looked in the direction pointed by the other party and saw that it was a building complex composed of more than a dozen stone towers of varying heights. There were many magic shops around it. Most of the people who occasionally came in and out were wearing wizard robes, and
They all look young.
Although Perseus had never stayed in any academy, he had seen such a complex of buildings when he was in the Goblin Alchemy City. At the Magic Academy, Perseus was 70% sure that it was the iron
Magic Academy in Oak City.
"This...are we really going there? If this is your decision, Christine, I have no objection." Perseus felt that since the other party is his companion, he should trust the other party unconditionally.
Even if you die without a burial place.
No one spoke anymore, and for a whole day, the four of them huddled in this dark alley. Perseus occasionally drove away some cockroaches and bugs that tried to crawl onto Rikka, while Hastur leaned against the wall quietly,
Being blind, all he can do now is not to cause trouble to his companions, that's all.
Christine's beautiful bright red eyes reflected the passers-by outside the alley, reflected the young faces hungry for truth, and even reflected her appearance when she was young.
After less than a hundred years of cultivation to reach the peak, Christine arrived at the Star City of the Principality of Moroniel with curiosity and longing. It was a place where even the air smelled of books, and Christine naturally fell in love with it.
Read.
The calendar passed day by day, and Christine did not practice magic again, and she had no intention of spying on intelligence. She stuffed all the books she could buy into the storage bag, and consumed them every day in the Star City Library
More than ten hours.
However, the secret letter from the Dark Elf Queen cannot be ignored. Therefore, Christine embarked on the carriage to Cisse Highgarden, but she still held the book in her hand and never tired of it.
The setting sun dyed the entire Iron Oak City red at some point, and at the same time, it also brought Christine back to reality. An inaudible sigh echoed in the dark alley. After Christine collected her thoughts, she turned to look at her.
Hope.
"Hasta, please be careful and follow me closely. As for Perseus and Rikka, let me take them in."
Christine first confessed to Hastur, and then saw him tying the unconscious Rikka to herself with a rope, and then took out a large wooden box from the storage bag and motioned for Perseus to get in.
Go in.
The dark magic began to spread in the alley, but disappeared after a few seconds. With the blessing of the shadow technique, Christine actually lifted the 500-pound wooden box with one hand, and then her whole body seemed to
He blended into the night like a ghost. As for Hastur, he was not affected by blindness at all, fully demonstrating his talent as the Lord of Soul Butterflies.
There are some dilapidated walls and iron locks stained with rust. Perhaps because of its remote location, this two-story building seems to have been idle for a long time.
With the folded pages creaking and the disturbed spiders and dust falling, the four finally sneaked into Iron Oak Academy smoothly.
"From today on, you two and Rikka will stay in the room on the second floor. You will never come down without my permission, no matter what happens."
As Christine spoke, she placed Rikka on the animal skin blanket. Except for the musty smell in the air, she was very satisfied with this hiding place.
"Everything is decided by Lady Christine. I will protect Master Rikka." Perseus bowed and saluted, but because of the lack of two arms, his movements looked very funny.
After Perseus regained his sanity, he seemed to have no more desires or desires. He returned to his dull appearance and stayed around Rikka all day long.
"You can't help Rikka right now. It's more important to gather new arms quickly. The little girl may wake up at any time, and you don't want to be scolded by her."
The biggest headache for Christine was not that everyone on her side was in a difficult situation, but that Perseus was depressed. Therefore, she carried out Rikka, hoping that he would cheer up quickly.
"Sister, although it is safe here, how do you plan to solve the problem of food and magic crystals? You must know that if we cannot recover our strength quickly, it will only be a matter of time before we are killed by the Pava Federation's cavalry."
I saw Hastur sitting cross-legged and asked the biggest doubt in his heart. He admitted that this is a good place to avoid the opponent's pursuit, but if it is at the expense of the lack of magic crystal, then it is putting the cart before the horse.
"Is this a problem...I already have a solution. You two can just rest here and leave other things to me."
After saying that, Christine stood up slowly, and then walked towards the first floor of the small building. A moment later, her beautiful red eyes looked out of the window through the layers of wall-creepers, or iron oak trees.
