It took less than half a second for the girl to vanish completely. George's reflexes were fast enough, but he still missed his target.
The place where Luo Luo was standing was now empty. Due to the dark sky, Idu could not determine where the girl was from the changes in the surroundings. However, his body only paused for a moment before he moved again.
This time, George's target was the Elven sword on the ground. He knew how important the sword was to the girl. If not, Lolo wouldn't have kept it with her even though she knew that there was a risk of being exposed. If the girl planned to run away, she would definitely pick up the sword right after she turned invisible.
But this time, he paid the price for his cleverness. Just as he expected, the girl immediately went to where the sword fell after she turned invisible. But she didn't rush to pick up the sword. Instead, she pulled out her dagger and waited for the youth to pass by. Lolo couldn't keep up with George's movements, but this time, it was equivalent to George delivering his dagger to her chest.
If it weren't for George's rich combat experience, his stomach would have been sliced open. But even so, there was a hideous wound on his chest. George moved quickly and retreated even faster, like a rat that was scalded by boiling water. But from his expression, it wasn't obvious that he was almost injured. Instead, there was a faint sense of excitement.
Just as he said, this guy is used to enjoying pain.
The Elven sword on the ground finally disappeared. Lolo must have picked it up. But George's face didn't show any signs of frustration or panic. Instead, his gaze was a little strange.
Lolo didn't notice his expression. She lowered her head to look at the fresh blood on the dagger with a look of disbelief. She didn't expect that she would really hurt him.
In fact, Lolo was just trying her luck when she pulled out the dagger. She wasn't sure that George would pounce on her. But she knew that he was cunning and didn't take her seriously. So she guessed that he would guess her thoughts and hit her.
Now that Idu was seriously injured, he didn't dare to act rashly anymore. The situation had changed to Lolo's advantage again. The gap between the two of them didn't seem to be as despairing as before.
Therefore, the girl who was already prepared to run away could not help but have some other thoughts.
Invisibility usually lasted for at least half an hour, and some high-quality magic devices could even provide up to two hours of invisibility.
It would be a waste of time if she just used this time to escape. She finally got a lead on Mother Teresa, and she was not willing to just leave like that. Now that George was no longer a threat to her, Lolo wanted to take this opportunity to search the house again quietly.
But then she noticed that George's gaze seemed to fall on her.
Was it an illusion? Lolo carefully took two steps back, but the young man's gaze followed her to the wall. The girl did not give up and moved two more steps to the side. When she looked up, she saw Idu raising his eyebrows at her.
The invisibility spell failed? The girl was shocked. How was this possible? Could it be that the fellow called Eddie was just a scammer who specialized in crafting inferior magic devices? Otherwise, how could he explain the fact that the magic device he bought from him was scrapped in less than two minutes?
"Don't look at me. This has nothing to do with me. It was Isabelle." Idu spread his hands, indicating that he was innocent.
Lolo seemed to have sensed something. She turned her head abruptly and saw an enchanting woman leaning against the back door, looking at her lazily.
The Brave rookie remembered very clearly that not long ago, this woman was still snoring on the dining table in the living room. She didn't even notice that the shoulder strap of her pajamas had fallen on her chest, and she didn't look like she was going to wake up at all. But now, this woman named Isabelle was standing behind her silently.
"Little girl, you're not the only one who can use invisibility." The woman chuckled. She was the one who cast the Eye of Truth to make the girl's invisibility spell ineffective. At the same time, she cast an invisibility spell on herself and sneaked to the door.
She held a walnut staff in her right hand. At the top of the staff was a dark blue magic crystal the size of a fist. The workmanship was exquisite. It didn't look like a weapon, but more like a work of art. However, as a magician, Lolo's expression froze when she saw the staff.
In terms of elemental affinity, there was still a certain gap between walnut wood and oak wood. The walnut wood used to make magic staffs was basically more than a thousand years old. Even so, the elemental affinity of a magic staff could only reach the level of a 300-year-old oak wood.
However, walnut also had its advantages. Its material determined that it could withstand higher mana output. Using a staff made of walnut to cast spells could increase the power of spells by about 20 to 30 percent.
This was why there were still some mages who preferred walnut staffs even though they knew that their elemental affinity wasn't as good as expected. And those who dared to use walnut staffs were, without exception, experts. This was because unless they had strong control over their spells, the gains from the increase in power would never be able to make up for the losses caused by the lack of elemental affinity.
Magicians who chose walnut as their wand would usually choose to end the battle as quickly as possible. Every time they cast a spell, they would need twice as much mental power and mana as a magician with an oak wand. However, once they made a move, they would also be much more violent than the average magician.
In fact, Luo Luo had some doubts when she first climbed up to the second floor. Among the four rooms, except for the last one which was very shabby and was for the cook, two of the remaining three rooms were filled with weapons. There was a long whip in Idu's room, which should be his weapon. There were also two long swords in the double room. Only the first room, which was occupied by the woman, only had perfume and clothes. The girl did not see any weapons there.
Now, the answer was finally revealed. It turned out that the owner of this room was actually a magician, and a middle-rank one at that. No wonder Lolo hid her staff. If she saw that staff, she would definitely be alerted. The strong sleeping potion that the girl made was only the most basic magic potion. It could be used to deal with others, but it could not be hidden from people of the same profession, especially powerful ones.
