Xavier's unexpected arrival forced the fox masked man to end tonight's game early, so the twenty people trapped in the maze were finally "saved."
But in reality, not everyone was as happy as Jessica and the other male student. At least the group of masked men didn't look very good.
Appearing by the lake at this time was a very troublesome thing in itself. The word "suspicious" was carved on their faces. If they were caught and their identity was exposed, it would be very difficult to justify themselves. Although the forces behind them weren't simple, Xavier wouldn't make things too difficult for them. At most, he would use a euphemistic way to persuade them to leave, but this would mean that they were completely out of the game.
Including the two unlucky people who went through puberty in the second round, the masked men didn't want the game to end like this. They didn't want to see the clues that they found with great difficulty disappear like this. Only by continuing the game would they have more opportunities to understand the initiator of the game.
Yes, the fox masked man used the game to obtain information from the participants and observe everyone's performance. But in turn, the participants carefully collected information about him in the game.
However, the fox masked man didn't care. Just like what he had said to Louisa before, he had spent so much effort and money to organize this game. His biggest goal was to have some fun for himself.
Picking up his coat on the chair, the fox masked man waved to Louisa. "Let's go. You should also hurry back to school. After this happened, the disciplinary department will definitely count the number of people in the dormitory."
However, the female archer didn't get up. The fox masked man noticed that the girl's face was a little pale and there was cold sweat on her forehead.
"Huh?" The fox masked man was puzzled. "Are you on your period?"
"You're the one who's on your period. I … I think I saw something in the lake just now." Louisa looked a little uneasy.
"Ah ha, what did you see?" The fox masked man came over, but he didn't see anything unusual in the crystal ball. The lake was calm, and everything was normal on the shore. The people in the magic circle all had different expressions. Some were happy, some were worried. On the other side, Xavier had already begun to break the magic circle.
He had chosen the simplest and most brutal method, which was to directly rely on the powerful magic of a seventh grade Great Magister to shatter the base of the formation. Although this method lacked technical content, it was undoubtedly the fastest and most direct method. Of course, the prerequisite was that the gap between the two sides was large enough.
Although the Mystic Lock was incredibly delicate, it was only a level-three magic circle after all. It could not withstand the crazy bombardment of a level-seven magus. The fox-masked man estimated that his magic circle would not be able to hold out for another seven or eight minutes. Therefore, he had to use this time to let Blackie, who was still in the Mystic Lock, escape secretly.
This task should have been done by Louisa, but the female archer was somewhat absent-minded. She had just seen a shadow not far from the boat. That thing was swimming very quickly in the water. At first, she thought it was a big fish, but when the shadow's head came out of the water to breathe, Louisa saw the face of a baby … At that moment, she felt a bone-piercing chill shoot up from the bottom of her feet to the top of her head.
But when she rubbed her eyes and looked again, the shadow had disappeared as if it had never appeared. Louisa wasn't sure if that terrifying scene just now was her imagination.
The female archer wanted to tell her teacher about this, but she shut her mouth halfway through. In fact, even she didn't quite believe it. This artificial lake did not cover a large area, and it was only for ornamental purposes. As one of the few places in Siamos most suitable for romance, there would be a large number of couples strolling and playing by the lake every day. If there really was a monster hiding in the lake, it was impossible that no one had seen it for so long. Moreover, she had never heard of anyone being attacked by the lake before.
That strange creature just now seemed more like a figment of her imagination. The female archer did not want to be mocked by the guy in front of her because of such a thing.
Seeing that Louisa had no intention of continuing the topic, the fox-masked man did not pursue it. He shrugged and ordered Blackie to quietly retreat. Then, he turned off the real-time projection in the crystal ball and left the bakery with his female apprentice.
At this time, there were less than three minutes left before the magic circle was breached. The masked men's faces were filled with anxiety, like ants on a hot pan.
The situation in front of them was quite grim. It was impossible to sit still and wait for death. The masked men looked at each other, and in the end, No. 2 spoke first. "Let's split up and rely on our luck. No matter how powerful Xavier is, he's only one person. He can't catch everyone."
His suggestion was immediately approved by the other person, but Luo Bu did not say anything. At the same time, the second masked man who reached the lakeside did not speak either. Number Two frowned, but did not force the two of them. He nodded and said, "Then I wish you good luck." After saying that, he and the other masked man split up and rushed into the mist.
Until the two figures were swallowed by the thick mist, the masked man who had not spoken suddenly turned to look at the Archmage opposite him. "Okay, now tell me what plan you have."
Rob raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. "You didn't escape with them but stayed with me because you thought I had other plans?"
"Hehe, I've always been good at judging people." "When Xavier appeared, I could feel everyone's anxiety, but only you were as calm as ever. I know you must have some plan. Following you is better than following those idiots. How about it? Take me with you. Treat it as making a friend. You won't lose anything anyway. I'm a person who knows how to repay favors. If you need help in the future, I'll definitely do my best to help."
Luo Bu didn't have any objections. "Alright, then follow me." After saying this, the Great Magician turned around and jumped into the lake.
The masked man was flabbergasted. This artificial lake in the Siamese Academy wasn't connected to the water system outside. In other words, even if he jumped in, he wouldn't be able to swim out. Of course, he could also try to hide in the lake and see if his luck would explode and he would be able to conceal himself from the all-out search of a seventh grade magus. However, one mustn't forget that Jessica was watching the entire process from the shore.
