Chapter 41 What the eyes see may not be the truth
The south of the city market at night is brightly lit.
All kinds of people were running around in the flickering flames.
There are ordinary citizens watching the excitement, there are patrolling guards maintaining order, there are also soldiers and bounty hunters hunting down murderers, and there are even many thieves who fish in troubled waters.
Noisy, messy.
Rosen was standing at the corner of the street, at a loss, when he suddenly heard another roar coming from the nearby alleys.
"This way! She's here!"
It was Xia Bolai's voice.
Rosen immediately ran towards the direction of the sound.
During this period of time, he ate, drank, slept well, and was busy every day. Although he didn't grow much taller, he was much stronger, and his running speed was much faster than ordinary people.
In addition, he is small in stature, and he is also very familiar with the surrounding neighborhoods. He crawled around in the chaotic streets, like a slippery loach, and ran to the vicinity of Xiabolai ahead of the crowd.
Far away, he saw a short and fat figure in the open space next to a shop. That man was holding a blue saber in his hand, with a silver light shining on the blade. It was Xia Bolai.
Before he had time to say hello, Xia Bolai yelled again.
"Don't try to run!"
Following the words, Xia Bolai sprinted forward with all his strength, and halfway through the dash, the sword in his hand flashed with light, and a silver blade shot towards the sky.
Rosen looked in the direction of the blade glow, and saw a figure floating in the air.
Seeing the sword light attacking, the figure's body flashed with silver light, and a light shield composed of polyhedrons appeared.
Rosen recognized that it was the six-star spell 'Silver Moon Asylum Shield' of middle-level Lunar Logic logic!
Almost at the same time, more than a dozen silver missiles appeared in the air around the figure.
It's an extraordinary missile technique!
After the missiles stopped for a moment, they each followed a smooth but unpredictable flight path, and shot towards Xia Bolai.
The scene was like a meteor shower, and the dense hooting of the missiles was like a swarm of bees, just listening to it made one's scalp explode.
Rosen was shocked: "A total of 16, what about rocket launchers?"
Even with all the spellcasting skills, at this moment, the opponent's spellcasting ability is as high as 20 lines.
Simply inhuman!
Another moment later, the blade light hit the protective light shield, and the light shield trembled violently, turning into light spots and disappearing without a trace. Although the blade light did not disintegrate, its brightness also weakened to one third of its original brightness.
With this momentary delay, the black shadow was able to change direction in the air, avoiding the blade light by a tiny margin.
But on the other hand, Xia Bolai's situation is not so good.
There are too many silver missiles, far beyond the limit of ordinary martial arts.
In desperation, Xia Bolai could only let out a loud shout, and a rich silver light appeared all over his body.
Silver Moon Combat Technique: Full Moon Starlight.
'Puff puff puff~'
Missiles hit the brilliance one after another, like a rainstorm hitting a banana leaf, shaking the silver brilliance one after another.
The powerful impact force produced by the missile explosion forced Xia Bolai to lower his heart to maintain his balance.
When the missiles dissipated completely, and looked at the sky again, was there any trace of the black shadow?
Xia Bolai was angry and helpless, roaring aggrievedly.
"Damn mage, do you only play tricks? If you have the ability to stand up and face me!"
Rosen hid in the dark corner of the street, saw this scene clearly, and recognized the true identity of the shadow in the sky.
That was none other than his spell instructor, Anna Serendis.
Three spells, one flying spell, one silver-moon shield, and one sixteen-hit missile combo.
The three spells are juxtaposed, the inhuman 20-line spellcasting, and the high-level warriors are forced to retreat head-on with the power of the middle-level, which is a lot stronger than the boss Cyrus back then.
"No, I have to help the mentor get out."
How to help?Simple.
At this time, Xiapolei is the biggest threat to the mentor, just hold him back.
Rosen was about to call out to Chapolei from his back.
Before he could make a sound, another person rushed over from the front.
This man has blond hair and blue eyes, a handsome face, wearing fine leather armor, a shiny silver one-handed sword in his right hand, and a thick steel round shield in his left hand. He is exactly the bounty hunter I have seen before. Olek.
His appearance is too brilliant, he is simply a perfect fighter.
He ran wildly and shouted.
"Chaply, I hit her! I hit her! I took off her mask!"
He held a black leather mask in his hand.
Rosen, who was hiding in the dark, felt tight: "Is the mentor injured?"
Xia Bolai was overjoyed: "Did you hurt her?"
Oleke spread his hands: "It's not hurt, but I took off the mask when she was not prepared."
Chapolei was instantly annoyed: "But what's the use of just a mask?"
Olek smiled triumphantly: "Hey, look at mine."
As he said that, Olek threw the mask into the sky, thrust out the long sword in his hand, pierced the mask at once, and shouted at the same time.
"Soul of the Hound, please guide me on the way forward!"
A faint golden light lit up on the long sword, and after rushing into the mask, it instantly turned it into ashes, and in the ashes, a faint white light rose, drawing a long white light band, pointing to a certain direction .
Olek looked happy: "The soul of the hound has responded to me. Let's follow the white light!"
Xia Bolai was also overjoyed: "Your spell is really useful. Now let me see where that bitch is going!"
The two, one in front and one behind, followed the guidance of the blood light, and quickly rushed towards the darkness ahead.
When they walked a little farther, Rosen also hurriedly followed them from a distance under the cover of the shadows of the buildings on the street.
If it was only Chapolet, he would show up and stop him without hesitation, but with Oleke, the situation is a bit more complicated.
The speed guided by the white light in the sky was not fast, so the two warriors were not running fast. Rosen did not have any difficulty chasing them, and even had time to hide in the dark to rest.
So, a group of four people, one is at large, two are chasing, and one is hiding in the dark to observe.
Gradually, they left the scope of the market in the south of the city, and gradually came to the Yellow River in the middle of the city.
At this time, everyone else was left far behind, and the chaos of the street was all gone.
The moonlight from the sky fell down, coating the ground with a layer of cold hoarfrost.
Right by the river, the three behind finally caught up with the shadow.
The black figure was standing on a ferry boat in the middle of the river, and the ferry boat was at least 50 meters away from the river bank.
A samurai chasing a powerful mage in a river is almost suicide!
Therefore, even if Xia Bolai sees the target, he can only stand on the shore and say nothing.
But Olek still has a trick, he smiled slightly: "Don't worry, look at me."
Pointing the long sword towards the sky, he recited a mantra loudly: "Soul of Frost, listen to my call, and pave the road of Frost for me~"
Following the incantation, thick white light began to gather on the sword body, and the temperature nearby also plummeted.
In the dark, Rosen saw this scene, and his heart tightened: "No, this guy is probably going to pave an icy road!"
If only Xia Bolai was alone, he would not be able to threaten Serrandis even if the road was paved with ice, but it would be difficult to say if this mysterious Olek was added.
"How to do?"
The lightning flashed in Rosen's heart, and two ideas emerged.
Either show up and call to stop Xia Bolai, or help secretly.
In a flash, Rosen chose the latter.
Because the situation is too complicated, especially Olek's origin is unknown, and his spells are still weird, if he rashly lets himself surface, he will lose the initiative.
the other side.
After gathering for about three seconds, Oleke pointed the tip of his sword towards the river: "Go~~"
'Crack~click~'
Intense white light fell into the river, and the water immediately froze, forming an ice road more than 3 meters wide, which quickly extended towards Serendis' boat.
Xia Bolai laughed: "Ha~ I really have you."
He was about to jump onto the ice.
'Whoosh~~~bang! '
Amidst the whistling airflow, a black spot fell from the sky at a terrifying speed, and hit the plank on the side of the pier on the river bank.
The wooden plank violently blasted a gap of [-] to [-] centimeters, sawdust flying everywhere, and some of them hit Xia Bolai's body, causing pain and pain.
'boom~~~'
Almost at the same time, another yellow-red spot of light fell from the sky without a sound, and hit the ice surface with a bang, blasting the ice surface into a large hole with a diameter of several meters.
The ice road on the river was broken in two on the spot!
Xia Bolai was startled: "God of Gold, there are even accomplices!"
Throwing powerfully from the sky, flying silently extraordinary missiles, this guy is no ordinary person!
There are at least two reinforcements, both of whom are mages. Judging by the power of the missiles, they seem to be middle-level mages.
Olek was also slightly surprised, and helplessly spread his hands: "Then there is no way to chase."
Originally, it was possible to fight two against one, but now it suddenly became two against three, and it was still very dangerous to fight on the river.
On the other side, Serendis in the middle of the river also heard the movement behind him and turned his head to look over.
As you can see, she was also surprised.
But in this way, her face was also clearly exposed to the moonlight.
With the help of the moonlight, Xia Bolai saw the appearance of the black shadow clearly, and a strong disbelief appeared on his face.
"Anna! It's you!"
He recognized Serrandis's identity.
Rosen frowned suddenly.
"Teacher, you run away as soon as you run away, why are you turning around?"
It's really troublesome to expose your identity.
On the ferry, Serendis heard Chabolai's words, and a word came back from the river.
"What the eyes see may not necessarily be the truth."
The voice is soft and indifferent, like dandelions fluttering under the bright moon.
It was clearly heard from more than 50 meters away, but it rang clearly in everyone's ears, including Rosen.
Luo Sen, who was hiding in the dark, was feeling annoyed. After hearing this, his heart moved slightly.
"The sound transmission spell 'Voice of the Soul', the instructor found me, no, no, it seems to be speaking to me."
On the other side, Xia Bolai was surprised and angry at the same time, and didn't listen to it at all.
"Anna, I didn't expect that you would become like this!"
"Why did you become so cold-blooded and ruthless! Why did you do such a cruel thing!"
Oleke on the side was also surprised: "Xia Bolai, do you know her?"
Xia Bolai's face was full of pain.
"Yes, I know her."
"She is the most outstanding mage of the younger generation in Silvermoon City. At a young age, she has the mana power of the peak of the middle class, and has extraordinary spellcasting ability. She was even personally received by the madam."
"I thought she was just crazy, but she was good in nature. I didn't expect it. I didn't expect it!"
Extreme grief turned into extreme anger, he raised his saber and roared loudly at the black shadow in the middle of the river.
"Anna Serendis, no matter where you flee, even if you escape from the golden land, the frosty land, or the volcanic highlands, I will catch you! I will definitely catch you!"
In the middle of the Yellow River, Anna controlled the ferry to go down the river quickly.
She no longer looked at the pursuers on the shore, nor responded to Xia Bolai's anger, as if the two were a mass of air.
The two warriors stood by the river for a long time, and turned back helplessly when they could no longer see Serendis.
Olek asked: "Are you sure she did it? I don't think so."
Xia Bolai has calmed down a lot, he spread his hands and sighed.
"It must have been her. When I saw her, she was standing next to the body with a bloody knife in her hand."
Olek thought for a while, then said: "Since Anna is your friend and now she has run away, let's just forget about it?"
Xia Bolai shook her head resolutely: "No, I can't forget it. I must catch her, and I must ask clearly why she did this!"
Olek shrugged: "It's not easy to know the reason? Why do you have to catch someone?"
Xia Bolai was startled: "How to say?"
"We can search her place, we can always find clues, can't we?"
"Abode. Oops, bad!"
Xia Bolai seemed to think of something, suddenly slapped his head, and then ran towards the market in the south of the city.
Olek hurried to catch up: "Xia Bolai, what's going on?"
Xia Bolai looked anxious: "Do you still remember Luo Sen? He is Anna's newly accepted magic apprentice, and he lives in Anna's house. God of gold, my little brother must not have any accidents!" "
Olek also immediately accelerated: "Xia Bolai, wait for me, let's take care of each other!"
In the dark, after watching the two run away, Rosen fell into deep thought.
"What the eyes see may not necessarily be the truth."
These words seem to have a deep meaning.
"After the instructor exposed his identity, he said this to me specifically. What does it mean?"
Although I have been studying with Serrandis for almost two weeks, the relationship between the two parties is actually a familiar stranger.
Rosen still has only a half-knowledge of Selandis' thoughts and her deep-seated character.
He always felt that what happened tonight, no, it was the whole murder case in the south of the city market, and there was an inexplicable strange atmosphere about it.
"No matter what it means, let me go back and secretly investigate the basic situation."

Oleke spread his hands: "It's not hurt, but I took off the mask when she was not prepared."
Chapolei was instantly annoyed: "But what's the use of just a mask?"
Olek smiled triumphantly: "Hey, look at mine."
As he said that, Olek threw the mask into the sky, thrust out the long sword in his hand, pierced the mask at once, and shouted at the same time.
"Soul of the Hound, please guide me on the way forward!"
A faint golden light lit up on the long sword, and after rushing into the mask, it instantly turned it into ashes, and in the ashes, a faint white light rose, drawing a long white light band, pointing to a certain direction .
