In the barbican outside the mountains, Fen was holding a man's belt in one hand and a container that contained an unknown object in the other. Under the escort of a small team of magicians, she took the plank lift back to the surface.
The moment Fen closed the container, the strange fog disappeared, and the monsters collapsed. All kinds of strange appearances and scenes also gradually faded away and finally disappeared.
This change attracted the attention of the magicians on the defensive line. Some daring magicians formed a small team and explored the eroded area. After receiving the Lich who was leaving and understanding what happened, the commander on the defensive line decided to fully explore the eroded area and sent a small team to escort the two away.
Of course, the relevant information had already been conveyed to the higher-ups of the branch through various methods. The group of people who were burning with anxiety naturally came to the barbican and waited for Grand Magician Tikal to appear and give everyone a definite answer.
As for the two girls, they followed their elder sister's instructions and stayed in the inn, not appearing here.
When the door of the lift opened, Fen walked out under everyone's gaze. The president of the Basque branch, Great Magician Eversley, who was surrounded like a moon surrounded by stars, was preparing to welcome the people who returned. But Magician Tripwood's miserable state made them hesitate for a moment.
Just as they were considering whether to use a congratulatory tone or a mournful tone to welcome the people, a group of people in front of Lich cut in. The leader was a Grand Magician. In the branch, he was a strong opponent of Great Magician Eversley. He was keen on singing a different tune from the president and coveted the president's throne at the same time.
When such a person stood out, Great Magician Eversley had a bad feeling. He was the most opposed to recognizing the former Demon King as a Grand Magician.
"Your Excellency." Avoiding Fen's title, this white-haired magician with two golden tassels tied on his head said arrogantly, "The item in your hand was made with the property of the Basque region. Since you have completed its task, please return it. "
"Okay, take it." Fen didn't say anything and threw the container to the magician who stood out, not giving him the chance to refuse or let others take it.
However, such an action could not be considered a kind action. Therefore, the group of Magicians instantly flashed with all kinds of defensive spells. However, they were limited by the fact that they were standing too close together at the beginning, so they couldn't get into a stance and prepare to attack.
The leader's target was the item in Fen's hand. When the item was thrown at him, although he had cast a defensive spell on himself, it was not enough to dodge and let the item fall to the ground. So he reached out and took it.
The item was in his hand, but it was different from what he had imagined. All kinds of information that he couldn't understand flooded into his mind, and countless strange memories and images flashed before his eyes. It was as if all the energy had been sucked out of his hands that were holding the container. His hands withered and flattened, and the flattened hands extended to his upper arms and eventually to his entire body.
The next moment, the container's four petals opened, and the person holding him seemed to be sucked into the container. Along with the opening and closing of the wall, there seemed to be the sound of chewing.
When the container lost its owner, it fell to the ground with a loud clang and rolled a few times. The wall closed again, and it was quiet, as if it was harmless to humans and animals. However, the scene just now was deeply imprinted in the eyes of all the surrounding Magicians. The scene was completely silent, and only Fen sneered and said:
"Didn't you want it? You can't even hold it properly, so it fell to the ground again. If it's broken again, you'll have to find a way to repair it. So, who else wants it? Take it yourself! "
The last roar scared everyone into taking a step back.
After a while, someone in the crowd said: "This outsider killed our people, we want to take revenge for Great Magician James!" "Yes, we have more people, don't be afraid … …"
Before the person finished speaking, Fen pulled out his gun and shot at lightning speed. One shot, one person, and his head exploded.
"If you have something to say, come out and tell me face to face. I will consider your request. Those cowardly rats hiding in the crowd who don't even dare to show their faces will be killed without mercy. If anyone else has an opinion, come out and say it. "
They had never seen this attack before, and the person who was attacked was not a rookie Magician. However, such a person didn't even have time to use the most basic shield, let alone defensive magic, and died on the spot. No matter how dissatisfied the other Magicians were, they had to consider the consequences of stepping forward, so they all kept quiet.
Even Great Magician Eversnow had the same attitude. Although he originally wanted to keep these two as helpers, and restore the glory of the Sijia district, those dreams had all dissipated at this moment. Now he just wanted to send these two gods of plague away as soon as possible, far away, and never see them again.
What a joke, if the thing in the hands of the Great Magician King could be freely retracted, even hiding in a magic tower wouldn't be safe. And the Great Magician who was directly killed by that 'thing' was not much weaker than himself. If they were dealt with without any resistance, then what was the difference between him and the Great Magician? Therefore, Eversnow was panicking in his heart.
Everyone looked at the Great Magician King, who held the man in one hand, and picked up the container on the ground that no one dared to touch, and left. Even when he walked past the president of the Basque district branch, Great Magician Eversnow only dared to lower his head, not daring to raise it.
For these people who stood at the top of the individual strength of the Homo Sapiens, the struggle between each other was no longer a competition of fists, but a competition of power and influence.
Eversnow originally thought that these two would be capable subordinates or powerful allies, but he didn't expect them to be big crocodiles who could easily destroy him. And they didn't care about any power or influence. Who would dare to let such a person stay?
As for the man in the hand, don't count on him. Fight with that person for him? Eversnow couldn't wait to get rid of that person as cleanly as possible, so he didn't dare to have anything to do with her.
On the way back to the inn, no one followed them, and no one dared to stop them. This was the first time in Mountain Edge City. Fen remembered that ever since she entered the city, there had been no lack of spying and spying. Now that it was finally quiet, her footsteps were much lighter.
However, once they returned to the inn's courtyard, the two girls were still frightened by their teacher's miserable state. In a flurry, they sent their teacher, whose face was full of smiles and blood, to the bed in a hurry.
"Sister, is Master the same as last time?" Halloumi asked worriedly.
In response to the girl's question, Fen remembered someone's behavior before he was knocked unconscious by her, and couldn't help but say seriously, "From a certain perspective, his situation is worse than last time."
In response to that description, the three of them all looked worriedly at … Lin, who suddenly straightened his body like a zombie. Then, Fen casually slapped his forehead and slapped him back to the bed.
"Ouch, my head." Lin, who woke up, held his forehead and shouted. He didn't know if the pain came from where he was slapped or from inside his head.
"Just wake up, don't scare people." Fen criticized mercilessly.
The person who fell back to the bed looked at his surroundings and the two girls' frowns. Lin asked, "Have we returned to the inn?"
"It's obvious, isn't it?"
"Is the matter resolved?"
"It's natural, isn't it?"
"Then … what happened? I don't remember anything. "
"You forgot everything?" Fen was surprised by his attitude. She thought about her previous attack, did it really work? She asked, "What's the last thing you remember?"
"The last thing I remember." Lin thought for a long time on the bed, but more than that, he had a headache. Finally, a fragment of the scene appeared in his mind. He said, "I seemed to have completed something, and then I could see the area that was eroded by the fog turning into a different world. Then, I woke up here. Did I miss anything? "
"It's nothing." Fen decided to bury that unbearable memory deep inside. Because it was too scary. The otaku from Earth, who had reached the highest realm of moe. So, she ignored what happened after his memory was cut off, even if it was a rare occasion for him. Fen said, "Anyway, the item was safely retrieved, but you were affected by that again. So, rest well. "
Then, she said to the two girls, "Since the matter has come to an end, and we have replenished some of the consumables that we should bring, we should leave. But we stayed up all night yesterday, so let's pack up today and have a good rest. We'll leave tomorrow. "
"Yes, elder sister." The two girls responded at the same time.
But Fen thought of something and asked, "Right, did they send the map over?"
"Yes, they did." As Kaya answered, she walked to a corner of the room and opened a large wooden box. She said, "The person who sent it said that all the maps they could collect are here."
The wooden box was not only filled with papers of various sizes, but also some old paper scrolls and animal skin documents. There were all kinds of things that could be used as record carriers. Even Lin, who was lying on the bed, sat up curiously when he heard that, and looked at the number of 'world map'.
But when he saw that it was stored in a box, Lin was surprised at first, but then he understood. Indeed, a map that could be used as a transportation guide would naturally not have a large scale. And for a map of the entire continent, there would naturally be a lot of it. A situation where a world map was enough was like traveling abroad on Earth with a globe as a guide. It was not trustworthy and could only be used as a reference.
It could be said that Mage Eversley was very sincere in sending such a 'world map' of the mysterious land. But … it was too much.
"Kaya. When you have some free time, organize the maps and fill them into the map information in the first coffin. It's too much of a waste of time to carry such a large box of maps. "Fen looked at the world map and directly instructed the more meticulous girl.
The black-haired, brown-skinned girl nodded. Organizing and analyzing information was her specialty. In order to deal with such a box of maps, she planned to first store all the records in the first coffin, then slowly organize them into categories and integrate them into the map information.
Ideally, this box of maps would be replicated by today. Then, when they left tomorrow, they would not have to carry such a burden.
