Regardless of what happened in the morning, how could these professionals already know and even speculate about the possible development of the incident after noon?
The employers who put a bounty on a certain person also realistically withdrew the bounty after obtaining their own benefits. They did not give any time to waste money. They did not even try to hide their identity to prevent people from associating them with the matter. They only needed to announce to the world that the person who put a bounty on the mage was a group of branch presidents of the Society of Sorcerers.
The focus returned to a certain person. With a clear target and a general direction and range, Lin and Fen searched in the air and quickly found their destination – the entrance to the sewers. At the same time, they also found the mark of the Hanen Society at the entrance. It was three connected parallelograms that looked like an art blade.
Before entering, the two of them cast all the supporting spells they needed. After making all the preparations, they entered the sewers of Pilsen City.
Marco Lin did not plan to take it one step at a time. Not to mention his not-so-good tracking skills, it was already troublesome enough to find the way in a race against time. He did not want to waste too much time on walking.
Once they entered this semi-enclosed space, of course, they used the magic to clear the way. Using the feedback from the active sonar, they obtained the topography of the sewers. But because the area was too large and time was of the essence, Lin did not wait for them to finish drawing the complete topography of the sewers. After having a rough outline, they began to move. Their targets were the locations where the heartbeats of creatures were detected.
In their haste, they could not confirm how many creatures there were in the locations where the heartbeats were detected. After roughly calculating the distance and direction, Lin and the others immediately flashed. The interval between each jump was no more than a minute. But with such frequent movements, they only saw some small animals such as rats, or the evil creatures that lived in the sewers, the kind that had nothing to do with the girls.
They saw themselves appear in the middle of a group of goblins. These goblins were not like their civilized brethren who knew how to talk nicely. As soon as they caught sight of strangers, they began to yell and hurl sticks or torches at them.
But a certain person responded with even more violent means. With a staff in his left hand and a longsword in his right, he attacked with both hands, slashing and smashing. In a short while, the place was cleared.
As for why he didn't use cleaner methods, but instead made this place red and white everywhere, making it look like a slaughterhouse, a certain someone was very puzzled. However, now was not the time for philosophical thinking. Lin shook his hand that was covered in goblin blood and released his active sonar. He also calculated the time and distance needed to reach his next destination.
On the other side of the sewers, Hallumi and the others no longer had the energy to continue running after fighting off several waves of ambushes. Not only had the injured people lost the ability to move, but the enemies in the dark had also completed the encirclement. They could only stay where they were and hope for a miracle.
The regret in Hallumi's heart was something that no one else could understand. Kaya had already collapsed, her life and death unknown. In order to block the second wave of surprise attacks, he had taken a stab for himself. Originally, he could still be supported by others, but in the process of escaping, he lost a lot of blood, so he fainted as soon as he fell.
Among the Silver Bearded Dwarves, Jermaine's little follower, Riley, also blocked a blade for his companion. The Dwarves' physique was stronger than that of humans, so Riley's eyelids were still open, unlike Kaya, who was already unconscious. Even so, he couldn't continue fighting. The others were also injured. No one had a full beard and hair and could still stay in one piece.
The main reason why they were in such a bad state, other than being unprepared, was that they had suffered an unexpected attack.
In the first wave of surprise attacks, Hallumi's originally full confidence had been dispelled one by one with the sprinkling of colorful light. Her blind confidence was instantly disintegrated. The most fatal thing was that the Illumination spell used for illumination had also been disintegrated. In a situation where they couldn't even see their own fingers, it was fortunate that there were four Dwarves who were used to walking in the Underground World.
She remembered that someone had not given up on training their skills since they were young, instead of making them like Berserkers, relying on their strengthened bodies to take on the enemy. Moreover, during her stay in the Wadwo Tribe, Hallumi had also learned many close combat techniques from the Wood Elves, which had allowed her to survive the first wave of attacks.
Kaya was not so lucky. She fought with magic, so when her magic was suppressed, she was just an 18-year-old girl. Although she had more or less trained her physique, even Hallumi was much stronger than her, not to mention the enemy group of adults. Fortunately, she had an extremely stable mind, which was why she could barely hold on in the darkness until she blocked the attack for her companions.
Although the one-eyed girl was also a magic apprentice, the one-eyed race was known for their superior physical fitness compared to humans. In addition, her level of magic wasn't very good to begin with, so naturally, she didn't rely too much on magic in her daily activities. After such an incident, other than the initial pitch-black darkness that made Molgit feel slightly troubled, she was still able to attack and defend well.
The four silver-bearded Dwarves were needless to say. Not only could they move freely in the darkness. The Dwarves' physique and the protective gear they had brought from their home gave them enough capital to continuously take blows without falling. Even so, Jermaine's little follower, Riley, was still too injured to continue moving.
And now, the person hiding in the darkness was still eyeing them covetously. Without the illumination of the Illumination Spell, except for the four Dwarves, everyone looked at the darkness around them worriedly.
Suddenly, a movement broke the dead silence in the darkness. Hurried footsteps sounded from all directions. A person's mind and attention would involuntarily be attracted to the noisiest direction.
But if that was the case, the group wouldn't be in such a sorry state. In fact, the direction of the attack ….. could be anywhere! It was precisely because of this that when Hallumi heard a series of footsteps, she forced herself to calm down and ignore the misleading footsteps.
Remembering her teacher's lesson, Hallumi closed her eyes and felt the strange flow of the air. Every movement could mean that someone was making a move here, and that was all the blonde girl knew.
When a strange fragrance floated to her nose again, the uncomfortable feeling of nausea emerged again. Not only that, but the one who removed all her supporting magic and firmly suppressed the power in her body was the source of this strange fragrance.
According to the experience of several fights, the intensity of this smell could also be used as a reference for distance. Therefore, Hallumi counted silently in her mind. At the moment when she reached the predetermined critical point in her mind, Hallumi didn't care whether there was someone in front of her, and just used all her skills to attack the open space ahead!

It's a bit short, sorry.
