The knock on the door was a little jarring in the quiet street. Isabelle looked at George, and George looked at Isabelle. Neither of them moved.
George sighed and said, "I think it's best for you to open the door under such circumstances."
"Isn't it the fairest choice for us to open the door together?" the female sorcerer said.
"Haha, you've got a good plan. I don't dare to put down my dagger. Although I'm not afraid of you, you sorcerers have too many tricks up your sleeves. I'm afraid that I won't be able to find you when I come back. If that happens, where can I go to listen to your story?"
Isabelle blinked. "So, neither of us is going to open the door?"
"Seems like it."
The female sorcerer stood in the backyard with her staff in her arms, looking relaxed. This was the second group of people who came looking for them tonight, which meant that the secret hideout was probably exposed.
Isabelle, however, did not care much. She had no intention of staying here to complete the mission, so it did not matter to her whether it was exposed or not. George, on the other hand, seemed to be particularly interested in this mission. No, to be more precise, he was intrigued by Isabelle and Arc Light's reaction.
The female Magician had known the young man for a long time, but until now, she did not dare to say that she knew him well enough. The young man was a complete lunatic. Even among the lunatics in the Court of Heresy, he was the most unstable kind. Even the Chief Judge admitted that he could not fully control him. In fact, if it were not for the fact that the young man was strong enough, he would have been killed several times over by the Court of Heresy for the things he had done.
However, this guy was still alive and well. It was a miracle. The most serious time was when he disobeyed the Chief Judge's order and sent the target he was supposed to protect to the hands of his ex-wife, who had always hated him. As a result, the target was castrated by his ex-wife. Later, when it was discovered that the guy was a big shot in the temple, George realized that he had made a big mistake and fled in the middle of the night. The higher-ups of the temple were alerted, and the two archbishops were furious. They sent their most elite paladins to search for him.
However, before the knights could catch him, George managed to capture an important fugitive who had been wanted by the Court of Heresy for 20 years. The Chief Judge personally interceded for the fugitive in front of His Holiness the Pope. In the end, the fugitive only suffered a little and miraculously survived the crisis.
After this incident, everyone thought that he would restrain himself, but George did not change much after that. He still did whatever he wanted. Isabelle knew that with this guy's personality, once he was interested in something, he would definitely use all means possible. He would not give up until he got the answer he wanted.
If Idu wanted to continue staying here, he had to deal with the trouble outside the door as soon as possible. At the same time, he had to find out who else knew the secret of this place and get rid of them.
This was also Isabelle's confidence. She was sure that if this stalemate continued, George would be the first to lose his patience.
However, the guy on the other side looked calm and composed, as if he was not in a hurry at all.
The knocking on the door continued for a while before finally disappearing, and the surroundings returned to tranquility. The unknown visitor seemed to have left, but it was unclear if he would return.
The sorceress raised her eyebrows. "Don't you want to know how the guy outside found this place?"
"Yes." Idu nodded very seriously. "But I want to know what is in Siamese that makes you so afraid. This mission is obviously different from the ones we received before. We have been in Gudilesi for a month, but there are still no further instructions from above. They just want us to continue to cooperate with the Arc Light's operation. I don't like this feeling."
"If the stronghold is exposed, even if I tell you everything I know, you can't continue to complete the mission." Isabelle shrugged. "With the cautiousness of the Arc Light, I am afraid he will not contact you again."
"It doesn't matter. I can complete the mission in my own way." Idu grinned as if he was really not worried at all.
While the two of them were talking, the knocking sound that had disappeared earlier sounded again. This time, the sound came from outside the courtyard wall behind them.
Isabelle and Idu were stunned. Because this small building was chosen by the temple as a secret stronghold, the backyard was completely sealed. There was no door on the stone wall. Except for the wall facing the back window of the museum, which was slightly lower, the remaining two walls were taller than a person and at least ten centimeters wide. There were no entrances or exits on them. So, instead of saying that the guy was knocking on the door, it was better to say that he was knocking on the wall.
Idu was dumbfounded. "What the hell? This time, even if we want to open the door for him, we can't."
However, his words came to an abrupt halt as the next scene almost made the youth's eyes pop out of their sockets.
The next moment, a door appeared out of thin air on the stone wall.
This door was forcefully cut out by someone. The whole process took less than five seconds. Idu was also a high-order professional, so he naturally knew how difficult it was to cut out a door from such a thick stone wall. He could barely do it, but certainly not in such a short period of time. To achieve such a feat, the weapon must be good enough. Ordinary longswords would not be able to slash the stone wall twice.
This was also what surprised Idu the most. When the guy outside cut out the door, the weapon he used was neither a knife nor a sword. Instead, it was … wind.
The most common, ubiquitous wind between heaven and earth.
Isabelle's pupils shrank. She no longer had the indifferent expression from before. She had already recognized the name of this magic, but it was also because of this that she was even more shocked. Gale Blade, one of the most common level-3 offensive magic. As a magician, she was no stranger to this wind magic. She knew that under normal circumstances, the power of this magic would never reach such a terrifying level. To be able to cut out a door from a stone wall so easily, such destructive power was comparable to some level-5 magic. The opponent's understanding of magic was simply incredible.
The intruder was a master! The female magician and Idu quickly exchanged glances. Isabelle put away her previous lazy expression and held her staff. Idu, on the other hand, was not willing to let go of the girl in his arms. He leaped to the side of the stone door with her. The young man wanted to lean on the stone door and listen to the movements outside. As soon as his fingers touched the edge of the stone door, a crack appeared on the stone door.
"What kind of trick is this now?!" Idu saw the crack spread out at an unimaginable speed. In less than a moment, the cracks on the stone door had become as dense as a spider web. Then, the stone door shattered with a bang. Fortunately, Idu's reaction was fast enough. Before the stone door disappeared, he rushed back to his original position with Lolo in his arms and avoided the flying gravel.
When the dust settled, a figure appeared on the other side of the stone wall.
