When Han Jin returned to the vicinity of the magic barrier, Louise and the thief were still fighting. Panven wanted to step out of the magic barrier several times, but he changed his mind in the end. He even shook his head anxiously at Han Jin when he saw that Han Jin was about to intervene. Louise was a proud girl and would never allow anyone to interfere with her battle, not even her own sister. Otherwise, she would definitely fly into a rage.
"You'd better hurry up. We don't have much time," Han Jin said with a frown.
Hearing Han Jin rushing her, Louise couldn't help but reveal an angry expression, and her movements slowed. The thief seized the opportunity and quickly left the battle. He turned around and pounced at Han Jin. He flung the dagger in his hand, and a cold light flashed toward Han Jin's chest.
Han Jin couldn't understand. Did he look so easy to bully? He leaned to the side and dodged the cold light. The thief pounced on him, a dagger in his hand, and slashed it toward Han Jin's neck.
Han Jin stretched out his left hand and grabbed the thief's right wrist. Unexpectedly, the thief's arm lowered, avoiding Han Jin's left hand, and the dagger went straight for Han Jin's left rib.
The thief's attack power was inferior to that of a warrior, and their defense was also inferior. They only played the role of ambushers, relying on surprise attacks and unparalleled speed to deal damage to their enemies. The thief's body was exposed, and he had lost the advantage of surprise. In terms of speed, he was far inferior to Han Jin. Although the thief's movements were sudden, Han Jin's reaction speed was even faster. His left hand came down, and although he moved later, he accurately caught the thief's wrist in his mouth. He swung his right fist and smashed it into the thief's cheek.
The thief's right hand was caught, but he didn't panic at all. He pulled back his left hand and pulled out another dagger, which he flicked toward Han Jin's palm.
Han Jin's expression turned cold, and his right hand suddenly stopped moving. The thief's dagger stabbed empty air, and Han Jin's hand reached forward and grabbed the thief's left wrist.
With both wrists locked, the thief finally panicked. He struggled with all his might and kicked at Han Jin's chest.
Han Jin opened his mouth, and a green light shot out. The thief didn't expect there to be such a way of hurting people in the world. It was too late for him to react. Moreover, his hands were bound, and there was no room for him to move. With a squelch, the green light pierced the thief's chest, and then circled around before quietly stopping above Han Jin.
The light in the thief's eyes gradually dimmed, and he fell limp to the ground. By the time Louise reached him, the thief was already dead.
"Hey! He's my opponent! "Louise screamed.
"Are you leaving or not?" Han Jin ignored Louise.
"Go, of course we're going!" Pan Wen hurriedly replied.
"Didn't you hear me? He's my opponent! "Louise said angrily.
"He's the one who came to find me." Han Jin said calmly. "You're not any slower than him, but you purposely waited. Did you want to see me make a fool of myself? You didn't see it, so you're disappointed, right? "
"You …" With her thoughts exposed, Louise's anger lessened. "You're a magician?"
"I'm a combat magician." Han Jin thought of an opponent he'd met in the past.
"Miss, don't mess around!" Panven came out and said apologetically to Han Jin, "Sir Raphael, I'm really sorry. Our miss … has a bad temper. I hope you don't mind. That fire magician just now, was you …"
"Let's talk as we walk." Han Jin looked Panven up and down. "Why do I feel like … you guys aren't in a hurry at all?"
"What's there to be in a hurry about?" Louise pursed her lips.
"Miss!" Panven looked at Louise with a reproachful gaze.
The road ahead was blocked, so the whole team had to change directions. The more they walked, the more Han Jin felt that something was wrong. They were actually going east, while Han Jin was going to St. Petersburg. Wasn't this going in the opposite direction?
Han Jin simply stood there without moving. Louise and Panven also stopped and looked at Han Jin in surprise.
"Mr. Panven, I think we should split up. Can you tell me how to go around the Kingdom of Magnificent Light?" Han Jin said calmly.
Before Pan Wen could say anything, Louise said, "Idiot, even if you can bypass the Kingdom of Magnificent Light, with the flying speed of a magic item, you will need at least three days to reach St. Petersburg. If you follow us, you can reach there in two days."
"Miss, don't be rude!" Panven scolded, then smiled at Han Jin. "Mr. Raphael, please don't worry. We'll definitely get you to St. Petersburg in two days."
Han Jin saw that Louise and Panven didn't seem to be lying, so he shrugged and didn't say anything else. As for Louise's rude words, he didn't care if a strange little girl was civilized and polite.
After walking for a while, the archers had caught up from behind. In fact, the team's speed was completely held back by the weak woman. Without her, the team's speed would be several times faster, and the enemy archers wouldn't be able to catch up so easily.
If the woman was a very important person, Han Jin could understand. However, no one took her seriously, so why did they have to bring a burden with them?
After a while, when the archers had formed a semicircle behind them, Han Jin couldn't take it anymore. "Can't you think of a way to speed us up?"
Panven also sensed the archers approaching, so he stopped and released a magic shield. Steam rose up and covered the entire shield. Panven then smiled. "Miss Lola is our leader. We can't abandon her." He understood what Han Jin meant.
"She's your leader?" Han Jin frowned. He didn't believe this nonsense at all.
"Haha … of course not." Louise laughed.
"Miss …" Panven quickly stopped her.
"It's none of your business." Louise waved her hand impatiently. "We've already done more than our mission. Even if Nicolas finds out that my sister is a fake, it's too late."
Panven shook his head helplessly. "Get ready, I'm going to cast a spell!" With that, he clenched his magic staff and loudly chanted a spell.
Outside, scattered arrows pierced through the fog and landed on the magic shield. This kind of attack couldn't break the shield, and the archers couldn't see what was inside. They were just shooting blindly and posed no threat.
Panven's magic staff slowly lit up, and dozens of strange rays of light grew out like snakes, wrapping around everyone. Then, the light shone so brightly that everyone subconsciously closed their eyes. The next moment, the scenery around them changed abruptly. To be more precise, they had been moved to an unfamiliar place.
Han Jin couldn't help but be shocked. Spatial teleportation! It was actually a large-scale spatial teleportation that was similar to the effect of a teleportation magic circle! At this moment, he also understood why Panven always hid inside the magic shield. He wanted to conserve his magic power. With their speed, they must have been surrounded more than once. Panven's magic was their last resort.
Han Jin had once warned Yalina that there was always someone better than him. It was hard to say if Yalina had taken it seriously, but he had been enlightened time and time again. Nicolas, who could trigger the hostility of heaven and earth, and Panven, who was in front of him, were enough to shock him. If Yalina was here, she would never believe that anyone could activate spatial teleportation with their own power. This kind of magical spell did exist, but it had long been lost!
Panven's forehead was covered with sweat. He sat down in the grass and closed his eyes to meditate. Obviously, activating spatial teleportation was a huge burden.
The guards surrounded Panven and vigilantly observed their surroundings. Their indifferent expressions proved Han Jin's conjecture that this wasn't the first spatial teleportation.
Han Jin looked at the scenery in the distance. The shapes of several mountains were very familiar. It seemed that Panven's teleportation distance wasn't very far. It might have been a dozen miles, or even a dozen kilometers. However, this didn't affect the strategic importance of spatial teleportation at all.
"What else do you want to ask?" Louise walked to Han Jin's side. "Hurry up and ask him while he's meditating!"
Han Jin looked at Louise and suddenly said, "Lola is your sister?"
"Yes, you've heard of my sister too?" Louise showed a proud expression.
"I heard of her a few days ago," Han Jin said indifferently.
Han Jin's words greatly hurt Louise's pride. She wanted to ignore Han Jin, but she couldn't resist the interest of answering people's questions. She had always been answered by others since she was young. Being a teacher was something worth celebrating. Louise gritted her teeth and said, "That's it? Is there anything else you want to know? "
"Aren't you afraid that I'm Nikola's man?" Han Jin said slowly. "Mr. Panven is meditating now. If I want to do something, you can't stop me alone."
"You mean us no harm."
"Why are you so sure?"
Louise hesitated for a moment, then giggled. "I'm not telling you. It's a secret." She wasn't stupid. If it was related to her mission, she could say it because there was no need to keep it a secret. However, if it was related to her own interests, she wouldn't say it.
At this time, Panven opened his eyes and stood up with difficulty. "Okay, let's continue forward. We must reach the Elf Village by tonight."
"Tonight?" Louise was stunned. "Are you sure we've lost them? If we lead the enemy to the Elf Village and bring disaster to the elves, my sister will scold me to death. "
"Miss, you're underestimating the Elf Village's power too much." Panven smiled. "Unless Nikola sends out the Dragon Knight, they won't be a threat to the Elf Village."
"No, my sister told me that I have to make the decision." Louise's expression suddenly became determined. "Don't think I don't know what you're trying to do! Hmph … You want to rope in the elves of the elven village, right? If Nikola sends people to attack them, they'll have to pay a heavy price. If the Elf Village is destroyed, the homeless elves will have to come to us. If they want revenge, they'll have to rely on our support, and … "
"Mi … Miss …" Panven's face was a bit pale.
"My sister told me all this. She also told me to tell you that she can listen to you about other things, but not this!" Louise glared.
