Early in the morning, on the road far away from the academy. Lin didn't sleep all night, but he was still quite energetic. Listening to the chirping of birds early in the morning was a rare experience. Because in the past, after watching the stars all night, it was now time to catch up on sleep. He had never seen the sunrise or anything like that.
It must have been hard on the two girls. In such an uncomfortable environment, they slept on and off for most of the night, so Lin didn't plan to wake them up. As for breakfast, he wasn't hungry yet. After all, it wasn't the time he was used to eating.
Speaking of which, since leaving last night, his spirit was unbelievably good and he was very excited. Just like when he participated in off-campus teaching when he was young, this energy could last until the end of the activity. When he returned home, he would spread out on the bed. Before that, he had been able to maintain an energetic appearance.
However, he could hold on like this, but the mule pulling the cart didn't seem to be able to. This poor little guy not only pulled a cart full of things, but there were also three people sitting on it. It pulled like this for most of the night.
If it was a mule from Earth, it might have died long ago. But the animals and plants in the Earth Enchantment were stronger than the species on Earth. In the end, this world was too dangerous. If the individual was too weak, they would have been eliminated long ago.
Before he had time to appreciate the morning scenery and sigh about his experience, the sound of horse hooves came from afar, and there were quite a few of them.
Were these the pursuers?
He hoped not.
But the more he was afraid of something, the more it would come. A group of cavalry neatly surrounded the mule cart and circled around it.
He didn't know if they were dizzy from circling around or if there was another reason. The group of people finally stopped and stared at the man on the mule cart.
"Sir Tripwood." The leader broke the silence and greeted, "Sir, you left without saying goodbye, you really made things difficult for us. My master wanted to invite you to have a heart-to-heart talk about the future of the Society of Sorcerers. Could you please turn the cart around and follow us back? "
"Soldier, are you ordering a mage to do something?" He picked up the staff beside him and gently tapped it on the pedal. A wave of magic power rippled out, looking very threatening.
Seeing the target's actions, the leader was secretly annoyed. He had forgotten that his opponent was a Spellcaster. He had rushed out in a hurry, and not only had he not brought all the equipment that was suitable for a Spellcaster, even the group of people he had pulled out at the last minute were a bunch of crooked melons and bad dates in his eyes.
The only thing that could be put to use was that they could rely on their numbers to make the other side lose focus. At the cost of their own casualties, they were able to exchange for the loss of their target. It was this kind of cautious attitude that forced the other party to submit obediently.
The two girls who were lying in the back of the carriage got up. Although they looked around with dazed eyes as if they had just woken up, they did not take out their weapons in a panic. Because the people surrounding them were all holding their crossbows, aiming at the mule cart in the middle. If he made any big movements, he was afraid that the other party would start attacking. Before he could cast a defensive spell, he would most likely be pierced by a few crossbow bolts.
However, the three of them were not lambs waiting to be slaughtered. They secretly cast magic in an inconspicuous corner. If they really fought, they did not intend to stretch out their necks to be killed. At the very least, they would capture a few people to be buried with them. When no one was paying attention, Lin secretly reached his hand into his chest and groped for his last resort.
But before he could grab it firmly, Lin let go of his hand. Because there was no point in continuing to resist.
"Ah, Elder Sister, you're finally here."
Fanny Tikal came out from behind the small hill. She was wearing a suit and pants that emphasized the curves of her upper body, highlighting her curvaceous figure. But what was even more eye-catching were the strange items behind her waist and feet.
Others might not know, but how could Lin not know that he had a part in making those four guns. Even the names of the guns were engraved on them according to the original version. Parsley (Parsley), Sage (Sage), Rosemary (Rosemary), and Thyme (Thyme).
As for the group of warriors chasing after her, some laughed, some pondered, but most of them were confused. What was the original Demon King's position here? He had never heard that she had reached an agreement with the person behind her.
And this Lich did not have the self-awareness of being the center of attention. She just walked closer to the mule cart and chatted casually, "It can't be helped. I only received a notice at night that something was left behind. So I can only go back and get it. "
Listening to the conversation between the girl behind him and that person, Lin's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. Had he been betrayed? Did a transmigrator have the slightest bit of trust in the land of mystery? Was this book about to end?
Looking at the group of pursuers who were chatting casually, the leader of the group interrupted in confusion and asked, "Lord Tikal …"
In the blink of an eye, Fen drew two pistols from the small of his back and opened fire. Unlike the original version, she did not deliberately show a gorgeous fighting style for the sake of the plot and the tension of the scene. What this Lich advocated were the three words that would make people's ears feel calloused — fast, ruthless, and accurate!
Especially since the guns in her hands were not ordinary firearms, but magical weapons. She did not care about the basic principle of three points in a line at all. As long as the muzzle was roughly aimed, the rest would be corrected with her mental power. The result was that every gun hit the pursuers between their eyebrows. Before they could react and pull the trigger of the crossbow in their hands, they were all slaughtered.
And more than a dozen people fell to the ground. Only the bullet holes in their foreheads were bleeding, but there were no bullet holes in the back of their heads. This was one of the characteristics of the magical guns modified by Fanny. There was no penetrative damage. As long as it entered the body, it would produce magical effects inside.
The most common effect was an explosion. Other than that, there was freezing, strong acid, and so on. The randomness of the bullets of the magical guns was still unsolved. The best defense was not to be shot. Even if you were shot, the skin's magic resistance was strong enough to not let the bullet enter the body. Because as long as the bullet entered the body, it would basically be crippled wherever it hit.
Such a vicious weapon, coupled with the fact that it was used by Fanny, was like having unlimited ammunition. This was also the reason why Lin wanted to run away when he thought of being enemies with this person. There was really no way to fight.
But the scene in front of him … Did he survive?
A certain man was still sitting in the driver's seat in a daze. Fanny, on the other hand, nimbly swung the gun in her hand and put it back into the holster behind her waist. This was the only little trick she would play when she was in a good mood.
"Girls, come and help."
Hearing their elder sister's call, the two girls obediently jumped off the car. Kaya followed Fanny's instructions and went to carry the things she had brought. As for Hallumi, she sent them to capture the few horses that had not run away yet. They could be used to pull the carriage, or they could be sold in the next town. There was no need to waste them.
Searching corpses could be considered a good tradition in the Maze World. Anyway, they did not plan to come back. Moreover, these people were here to cause trouble for them. They were not so kind as to bury them. The beasts would help to deal with the corpses. This was a kind of return to nature.
Fanny brought a box, probably for her personal belongings. The other thing was the coffin. She cleared out a small space in the carriage to place it. As for pulling the carriage, she still used the mule.
This was because the five horses that Hallumi had pulled back were clearly in a state of exhaustion. These horses were probably exhausted from rushing over in the middle of the night. If it had any strength left, it would have fled as soon as its rider fell, just as its companion had done.
In order to bring the horses away, the two apprentices each rode one and led the other. The extra horse had its reins tied to the back of one of the horses. This method would have the disadvantage of not being able to move fast. However, if they were to follow behind a carriage, their speed would not be fast, so it was not a bad thing.
The former Lord Demon King, on the other hand, pushed the person sitting in the driver's seat, who still had a blank expression, and said, "Move, make some space."
Fanny pushed the person aside slightly and sat in the driver's seat. She shouted, and the mule pulling the carriage started to move. This was another benefit of having great power. Commanding all things in the world was not just empty words. It was something that could be done.
The reason why others could not do it was because they did not have the correct method or did not have enough power. But for this Lich, commanding these animals that were not even at the level of Magic Beasts was just a matter of thought.
But for people, they had to rely on conversation and communication to know each other's thoughts and thoughts. Fanny looked at the man sitting beside her with a conflicted expression and smiled playfully, "Do you have something to say to me?"
"Yes, I thought you had other places you wanted to go."
"Once the novelty of others is over, only boredom is left. How can I stay? Haven't I seen enough boring people in my life? I feel bored just by looking at them. You, on the other hand, left just like that without any hesitation. If it were not for the two girls, I'm afraid I would have to turn the entire city upside down to find you. What do you think? Do you want revenge? Let's go back now. I guarantee that no one will object. "
"Girl" was a usage that Lin brought from Earth. Other than him and Fanny, no one else used it like this. And to a certain woman's question, Lin casually replied,
"I don't want you to kill people for this kind of thing. I also don't intend to use you as a tool to kill people. Besides, I originally had the idea of leaving the Sijia District. It wasn't easy to come to a new world. Wouldn't it be a pity if I didn't look around? Even on Earth, it was the same. It's just that there were many things holding me back, preventing me from taking that step. Speaking of which, they helped me make up my mind. I should thank them. And — "
Without you by my side, it's a sad place. There's no point in staying. If I don't leave, won't I just feel sorry for myself?
Seeing a certain someone not finish speaking, he stopped. Fanny asked smoothly: "And what?"
"Nothing, that's all."
It was an obvious excuse. Fanny turned her head and stared at a certain someone, saying: "Why do I feel like I'll regret it for the rest of my life if I don't finish listening to you? Say it, and what? "
A certain someone turned his head away guiltily. For a fat otaku who has been rude for most of his life, there are some things that he can't say. Therefore, he can only avoid a certain woman's gaze and say: "It's nothing, you're too sensitive."
