He is undoubtedly loyal, and he is willing to sacrifice his life for the Holy Flame Royal Family.
But Polly...
He couldn't understand Polly's order.
Now they all rely on the protection of the wizard.
How could you not tell the wizard about such an important thing?!
Polly's actions undoubtedly put the few remaining members of the Holy Flame royal family in danger!
If it was Dreiser who gave the order, he might still carry it out. But now it was only Queen Polly who gave the order... He was unwilling to obey.
After saying that, he didn't wait for Polly to answer, just turned around and left with the body on his shoulders.
Seeing Burns's actions, Polly's fair face suddenly turned red, and she felt angry, just when she was about to have an attack.
Burns' voice suddenly came.
"Your Highness Polly, it's dark and cold outside, so you'd better follow me back as soon as possible."
His tone was calm and natural, no different from before.
But as Polly watched Burns' figure walking away with a torch, she realized that the darkness and silence around her was gradually swallowing her up, and the anger in her heart was suddenly replaced by fear.
She stamped her feet angrily, dragging Gallagher forward with gritted teeth.
"Burns, you don't understand what I mean." Polly caught up with Burns and explained while suppressing her anger.
Burns paused for a moment, pondered for a moment, and then explained:
"Your Highness, no matter what your deep intentions are, concealing this matter will not be a wise choice. It will put all of us in danger...
What's more, if the wizard knows what you have done... our fate will probably not be much better than being overtaken by the Biqian Kingdom."
"Where does the danger come from, Burns!" Polly couldn't listen to his words at all and retorted to herself, "With that wizard here, where can we be in danger?!"
"Didn't you see it when you escaped from the kingdom today?"
"No matter what kind of soldier or knight he is, he is no match for him!"
Polly continued talking, but Burns could no longer listen.
He pursed his lips tightly and shook his head secretly in his mind.
Even though the pursuers of the Qian Kingdom did not pose any threat to Colin, judging from Colin's performance, he was rushing so quickly, either because he was in a hurry or because he was unwilling to cause any more trouble.
Whatever Polly's purpose was.
If it is because of this incident that they have made the wizard they only rely on displeased.
That's not worth the loss for them.
What's more, Polly really didn't consider the consequences of this incident being exposed at all!
In case it is exposed...
"Burns!" Polly saw that Burns turned a deaf ear to her words, and she was a little angry, but there was nothing she could do.
I can only continue to persuade from the side.
Walked for a while.
Burns suddenly stopped.
Polly paused and subconsciously stepped back slightly.
As soon as her noisy voice disappeared, another faint voice gradually emerged.
Hua Hua——
The faint sound of water came.
Burns listened carefully and walked towards the jungle on the left.
After pushing aside the trees, a river about two to three meters wide appeared in front of them.
Although it is the dead of winter, there are still some areas of the river that are as big as a person's head or as large as a hand that are not completely frozen. It is in these places that the water flows and makes a slight gurgling sound.
Burns took off the body from his shoulders, picked up stones from the side, and observed them carefully.
He chose a place that had not yet frozen, and chipped and expanded the ice layer next to it according to its original shape until it could accommodate the bodies of lightly armored soldiers.
Then he picked up the body of the lightly armored knight and threw it into the river.
thump.
After the body of the lightly armored knight fell in, it was quickly washed down by the river.
And with his special attention, there are almost no traces of man-made traces on the broken hole dug out.
Although there are many movements, with the great knight's physical strength, it only takes a few minutes to complete them.
Burns looked at the disappeared body of the light-armored knight and breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, the pursuers of the Qian Kingdom behind him can be somewhat confused, making it difficult for them to catch up.
"Your Highness Polly, let's go."
He looked back at Queen Polly, who looked calm, and felt a little surprised.
He expected that Polly would try her best to prevent him from handling the traces of the knight's body...
'I'm afraid she gave up her unrealistic idea after seeing that she had disposed of the body.'
Burns secretly speculated in his mind, then turned around and continued leading the way back to the cave.
It has been quite a while since they came out. If they don't go back, I'm afraid His Majesty Dreiser will be worried.
There is no moon tonight, the wind is not strong, and the surroundings are extremely quiet.
Burns was walking in front, and he was constantly experiencing heartbreaking pain in his left calf... The injuries he sustained while trying to save Polly and her son earlier today were really serious.
The fact that he can walk freely now all depends on his strong will and the physical fitness of the great knight.
In the severe cold of winter, the feeling in his calf gradually changed from pain to numbness... He just wanted to return to the warm cave as soon as possible.
After walking for a while, we almost reached the cave.
But now!
Whoosh!
A figure wearing a pitch-black witch robe jumped out of the forest on the left like a ghost and came to them!
"ah!!"
Gallagher and Polly both screamed in fear.
Not only because of the sudden appearance of the witch-robed figure...but also because of his terrifying face that looked like a dog or a bear, with saliva flowing and fangs intertwined!
Clang!
"Your Excellency is..."
Burns pulled out the sword from his waist and asked warily.
Before he could finish speaking.
Swish, swish, swish!
Several more figures wearing light armor sprang out from the forest.
Burns turned and looked.
These light-armored figures were very similar to the knights he threw into the river before. They all had facial features that resembled those of beasts, and they were all wearing light armor from the Qian Kingdom!
The eyes of beasts, the ears of beasts, the mouth of beasts... all that is missing is a nose!
Seeing this, Burns suddenly realized, and then his heart suddenly sank.
The wizard who suddenly blocked the road turned out to be a pursuer!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He took a deep breath, lowered his voice, turned around and said quickly:
"Your Highness Polly, the situation is critical now. You and Gallagher should go to the cave as soon as possible to report to Wizard Colin!
Tell the wizard, the pursuers behind us... there is actually a wizard!!"
"As for me... I will do my best to create an opportunity for you and His Highness Gallagher to escape!"
With a gentle breath, Burns suppressed the panic in his heart.
The reason why Polly was so confident before was because she felt that the pursuers of the Qian Kingdom were not a threat to them who were protected by wizards.
But now the pursuer behind him turned out to be a wizard, and the situation was completely different!
Come to think of it... Her Highness Polly can also understand the critical situation.
This news must be passed on to Mr. Colin!!
Holding the sword in his hand, Burns was prepared to die in battle, thinking about how to create enough escape time for Polly and his wife.
But the next second.
"Your Highness Polly, what's wrong?"
He looked at the unresponsive Polly beside him and couldn't help but frown.
In such a critical situation, he is still frozen in place...
"Jie Jie Jie!" The beast-faced wizard in front suddenly smiled sneerly, "It's really interesting."
Burns quickly turned his head and stared at him warily.
At this moment, the beast-faced wizard actually held a piece of red-gold rag about the size of two fingernails in his hand.
'What is this?' Burns wondered.
"I can't figure it out...why did you leave these traces for us on the road?"
The beast-faced wizard tilted his head, raised the rag and asked Polly doubtfully.
He was really confused. If it weren't for the bright red and gold rags along the way, it would have taken some effort to accurately catch up with Polly and the others in this vast forest.
Especially when the dog-nosed knights he transformed disappeared... maybe they might not be found.
Burns looked stunned when he heard this. He looked at the red and gold cloth in the hands of the beast-faced wizard, and then at the red and gold clothes Polly was wearing...
An indescribable sense of absurdity suddenly surged in his heart!
Polly...this stupid woman!!
"Bur... Burns, I order... order you to protect us to the death!"
At this time, Polly finally came back to her senses from her fear, and subconsciously ordered with a trembling voice.
"I'm so confused!" the beast-faced wizard suddenly shouted and hit his head hard with his hand!
Like a psychotic patient who suddenly becomes ill.
He raised his head and stared at Polly.
Whoosh!
The next second, as if teleporting, he suddenly stood in front of Polly, stretched out his hand to hold her chin, raised her chin, looked into each other's eyes, and asked crazily:
"I'm so confused!"
"You are so afraid of me, why do you go out of your way to leave traces for me?"
Polly's chest was panting violently, and her eyes were full of panic.
Suddenly, the beast-faced wizard sniffed, frowned and glanced at the wet traces on Polly's lower body, and his expression suddenly returned to calmness from madness.
Click!
There was a crisp sound of a broken neck.
"Forget it, if you don't understand... just kill them."
The beast-faced wizard let go of his hand, and the lifeless body of Polly fell to the ground.
"Mother--"
boom!!
Gallagher's shouts stopped abruptly.
Shock, shock, fear...
Complex emotions clenched Burns' heart!
But he did not hesitate and fled towards the cave decisively.
"Your Highness Dreiser!"
"Wizard Colin!"
"A strange wizard is coming!!"
It was not far from the cave. He ran away while shouting, trying to attract attention and spread the necessary information.
The next second.
Phew!
Burns suddenly felt the wound on his left calf explode with inexplicable force, and then blood spurted out. His calf went weak and he fell heavily to the ground.
"Pooh."
He spit out the ice and snow in his mouth, quickly got up on one leg, and continued shouting:
"A strange wizard is coming!!"
"A strange wizard is coming!!"
"Scream, shout louder."
The beast-faced wizard and several beast-turned-knights followed behind Burns unhurriedly, his voice calm and elegant.
"Call out the wizard behind you..."
The next second, his voice suddenly became weird, as if it was coming from the gap between clenched teeth.
"Thief!"
"That thief!!"
"...Badge, badge! Those relics are all mine!!"
The beast-faced wizard was panting violently, and his face seemed to be covered with more hair.
He raised his hand and hammered his head hard. After a while, his eyes regained some clarity.
Stroking the thick, prickly hairs on his face, he felt extremely gloomy.
"What part of the knowledge is missing? How to understand the concept of Melos' biological fusion!"
The beast-faced wizard roared silently in his heart, he was fed up with the situation of the wandering wizard.
He must get those two badges that allow him to join the school!!
Otherwise...if he continues like this, he will become alienated and degenerate...
He made a fist.
The beast-faced wizard's eyes were suddenly filled with confusion, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
'It seems...this state is not bad. I am much stronger now than before.'
The thick black hair on his face was like some kind of living creature, constantly surging and trembling at the moment.
next moment.
boom!
The collision between the palm and the head made a muffled sound.
Under the stimulation of pain, the confusion in the eyes of the beast-faced wizard finally faded away, and the black hair on his face returned to calm.
"My condition is getting worse and worse." He raised his head and tried to maintain his rationality.
Burns in the distance had already taken advantage of his confusion and jumped a short distance away on one leg.
"Strange wizard..."
Burns's yelling continued.
A trace of violence flashed in the eyes of the beast-faced wizard, and he raised his arms.
Wow!!
Rushing towards Burns like a phantom!
The wind roared past his ears, and he could already imagine the beautiful sight of Burns being pierced through his body with a claw from behind, and then being lifted up high, with blood spraying everywhere!
Close...
Close!
The picture in your mind will become reality in the next second!
The beast-faced wizard raised a cruel smile on his lips.
Whoosh!!
The next second, a hard cone bullet was shot towards him quickly.
The beast-faced wizard's pupils suddenly shrank, his legs folded at an incredible angle, he lowered his body, and narrowly avoided the cone bullet.
"Wizard Colin!!"
Burns shouted in surprise when he saw Colin suspended in mid-air.
"Yeah." Colin responded softly, while continuing to take out the cone bomb and shoot at the beast-faced wizard.
Burns and others had been out for too long, and he was a little worried, so he went out to check.
Not far from the entrance of the cave, I heard his cry and rushed over.
Whoosh whoosh!
Cone bullets were fired at the beast-faced wizard one after another.
In order to deal with the enemy as quickly as possible, he used the Scepter of Folly to increase the power of the arrow technique to close to the power of the first level... This was the most cost-effective improvement he tried.
With this improvement, he will use it about five times, and the progress of the arrow technique will be reduced a bit.
Although the beast-faced wizard escaped the first cone bomb, he was not so lucky when faced with the subsequent cone bombs.
Puff puff!
The fiery warheads were beating chaotically in the body, and the body of the beast-faced wizard was constantly trembling as if it had suffered an invisible blow.
The situation is excellent.
But the next second!
Wow!!
The figure of the beast-faced wizard suddenly disappeared from sight.
Colin looked up and saw two broken fleshy wings glowing with purple light spread out from behind the beast-faced wizard.
At this moment, it was floating quietly in front of him,
Buzz——
The defense strength of the steel temperature-resistant force field was raised to the maximum, and Colin frowned slightly.
Ding…ding…ding…
Several conical projectiles fired earlier were squeezed out of the beast-faced wizard's body and fell to the ground.
The wound around the fist-sized hole seemed to be malignant, with tumors appearing one after another quickly, completely blocking the wound in an instant.
'I'm afraid this kind of resilience will not be much weaker than my own.'
Since the cone bombs were useless... Colin waved the Scepter of Folly again!
boom!
An orange fireball shot towards the beast-faced wizard!
'This fireball... and the previous cone bombs are probably beyond the level of apprenticeship.'
‘Could he be an official wizard?!’
The beast-faced wizard thought as he easily dodged the fireball.
Although his current state of almost alienation and depravity hangs on a thread, it also gives him power beyond that of an apprentice wizard.
Although it is not up to the level of a formal wizard, in terms of speed alone, it has reached the threshold of a formal wizard!
It's easy to dodge slow fireballs like this!
'No, if I were a formal wizard, I would never be so relaxed... The power of this witchcraft is probably only a little stronger than that of the apprenticeship, and I can barely reach the threshold of a formal wizard.'
The beast-faced wizard continued to dodge the fireballs, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.
'It seems that this power should come from that scepter!'
A trace of greed flashed in the eyes of the beast-faced wizard, but then, his expression changed.
Whoosh!!
A cone bomb suddenly fired.
The speed of the cone projectile was much faster than the fireball. He was caught off guard and did not have time to dodge it.
Phew!
The cone shot into his body, and the huge momentum caused his body to dodge slightly.
Then a fireball followed with a heavy bombardment!
Can't hide anymore!
The expression of the beast-faced wizard changed, and he closed his wings to protect his whole body.
boom!!
The fireball exploded, blowing out a huge hole in his purple flesh wings. On the damaged edges, there were flames burning fiercely like gangrene attached to the bone.
Under the severe injury, the clarity in the eyes of the beast-faced wizard faded like the tide, and strange bulges appeared in various parts of his body like waves.
At the moment when the clarity in his eyes was about to fade away, and the bulge in his body seemed to be about to burst, something would pop out.
The beast-faced wizard took a deep breath and almost regained his senses.
Immediately, the broken purple flesh wing began to be repaired quickly.
'It's so dangerous...it seems like we have to rely on our speed advantage to fight.'
Just when the beast-faced wizard was thinking this.
A dazzling light suddenly erupted!
A fireball like the sun fell on him.
"No!"
The beast-faced wizard's eyes were full of fear, and he waved his flesh wings desperately!
But the next second, his body melted like ice and snow under the summer sun.
"call--"
Colin let out a breath of turbid air, and the red crystal light of the Sunfire Ball Ring on his index finger gradually extinguished.
When he realized that the witchcraft that had only been raised to the threshold of a formal wizard could not deal with this weird wizard, he was ready to use the sunrise fireball.
After all, the battle cannot be dragged on as the longer it goes on, the more likely accidents will occur.
But if he relied on the Scepter of Stupidity to raise his witchcraft to a higher level, the price would be quite high. He didn't want to let the progress of the Fireball Technique go back again.
Fortunately, the power of the Sunfire Ball is still strong enough... to seal the victory.
He turned to look at Burns on the other side.
Clang!
Just in time to see Burns withdraw his giant sword.
At his feet, where he was standing on one leg, lay the three light-armored knights who had followed the beast-faced wizard.
He was about to ask about the specific situation.
Pat-ta-ta-
But suddenly, a sound came...
Turning around, he saw the slight sound of the beast-faced wizard's remains falling to the ground.
Colin walked closer and took a glance, but found no storage ring or anything like that.
"This is……"
Among the gray-black wreckage, he found the only thing that survived the sun's fireball - a crown ornament.
The reason why it is a jewelry is that the crown is only the size of an ordinary ring, made of metal, intertwined with gold and silver in color, and has exquisite details.
'I seem to have seen this style somewhere...' Colin frowned slightly and leaned over to pick up the ornamental crown.
'Put it away first, now is not the right time.'
He turned to Burns, who was almost unsteady on his feet, and was ready to ask about the details of all this.
