My Magic Age

Chapter 220 20. Kai emerges from the water

The reed swamp stretches for several kilometers along the shore of Yuhu Lake. It is like a maze when you get into it. It is not all low-lying wetlands. There are dry soil ridges and mud nests, but the shallow water area is the most visible. , most reeds grow in shallow water, running in the reed pond is It is a very hard task, because not only do you have to push through the dense reeds, but you also have to overcome the resistance brought by the mud under your feet. Every time you take a step, your feet will be deeply inserted into the mud, and then it will be like pulling out. Like a carrot, it is difficult to pull it out, and sometimes the boots will get stuck in if you don't get it right.

The more difficult a place is, the more advantageous it is for me. As long as it gets dark, I can escape. No one can find someone who can hide in the shadows in the dark.

It is not easy to get rid of Lina who is always following you. Of course, this assassin who just walked out of Sloit City was tortured by my magic even though she no longer had the intention to kill. Her face was gloomy and her anger was almost on the verge of exploding. But her good upbringing makes her movements still very graceful. Her speed is almost several times faster than mine, and I don't know what means she used to lock me.

At first I thought that she was able to catch up with me many times because I had a special smell, but later I found out that was not the case, because even though I rolled in the mud of the reed pond countless times, my body was covered with mud. After that, she dived into the mud and breathed only through a hollow reed stick, and she was still able to find me. Although it took her a lot of effort to dig me out of the mud, she came straight over very clearly. She must have some kind of tracking method that I didn't know about.

However, in the process of chasing me, she repeatedly stepped on my frost scroll trap. She would often catch up with me angrily with her whole body covered in frost and argue. She was also very troubled by my endless magic skills. Although she is a very powerful warrior, she has very little experience in surviving in the wild. She doesn't understand what traps are, and she doesn't even have the heart to be prepared. However, it is obvious that she seems to know some of these precautions. As long as she has made a mistake before, she will never make it a second time.

These most common frost scrolls are drawn with ordinary milky white ink. Milky white ink is sold in the magic apothecary shop in El City, but it is not cheap. After I arrived in El City, I sent all the gold coins I had to Sister Guoguo’s sisters don’t have too many silver coins on their bodies. They usually wear After saving the pocket money Ent and Fanny gave me, I can usually only buy a small bottle in two or three months, and even the scraps of magic parchment here are expensive. These high prices make me I kind of miss the town of Gurudin on the Pai Plateau. The materials and herbs from the orc tribe are so cheap.

Every time I saw her clenching and unclenching her fists in confusion, and knowing the ruthless skills of an assassin, she did not take action against me. In fact, she has been imagining that as a magician, my strength may be exhausted, and then she can force me to surrender. My stamina is much better than she expected.

Like an otter, I cautiously poked my head out of the puddle and saw that the surrounding reed ponds were quiet. Only the wind blowing from the lake blew the green reeds one after another like waves of wheat. I saw It was very safe all around. I flipped a splash in the puddle and swam into the shallow water like a big loach with my hands, holding the water in the water with my hands. The mud stood up from inside. This time, in order to get rid of Lina's pursuit, I came up with a countermeasure. In the shallow water of the reed pond, I used the magic of "walking on water" on myself, and I could run as fast as flying in the reed pond. After throwing away Linna who was stuck in the mud, she plunged into the fish lake and dived for several hundred meters before emerging from a reed pond.

I can almost imagine the helpless expression on her face. After these few contacts, I found that this Lina is very unsuitable to be an assassin. First of all, what she lacks most is a killing heart. This is why I can The reason for escaping from her hands several times, otherwise as long as she was a little crueler, I wouldn't even have a chance.

But now it seems that he has finally left her behind. I secretly rejoiced in my heart. After walking eastward along the reed pond for another mile, I found a secluded place and hung my soaked clothes to dry on the hot beach, while I hid under a tree and secretly I caught up on my sleep and fell asleep before I knew it.

Maybe it was because I consumed a lot of mental energy and magic power last night, which made me extremely tired. Later, I met Linna who was chasing me, and I played a game of cat and mouse with her for most of the day. By the end, I was exhausted. , after confirming that he really got rid of her, he felt completely relaxed. After falling asleep, he completely lost his alertness.

When I woke up, the sky was already full of stars. I struggled to wake up from my sleep in a daze, and found that I had been sleeping under the tree for most of the day without any precautions. Fortunately, I was lucky and was not attacked by those barbarians. Caught.

I looked up at the star map. This habit was developed in the wilderness. I would look at the star map every night. Slowly, over time, I gradually recognized the many stars in the night sky. Ryant was very supportive of my love for studying astrology. Astrology is a profound subject in the Green Empire. He thought that I should have some hobbies and kept telling me how interesting the clubs in the school were. There was even an astronomy club specializing in studying stars in Stans College. Ryant told me that I must join a club that I am interested in after school, where I can meet many friends with the same interests.

Seeing the two Milky Ways in the night sky like an eight-shaped scattered on the east and west sides of the night sky, I knew that it was not long after nightfall.

I felt a little hungry in my stomach. It was impossible to hunt in the dark night. I directly took out two pieces of dry cheese and half a piece of hard bread from the magic waist bag and stuffed them into my stomach. I still had to travel in the dark. Only at night did I feel safe.

After I packed my luggage, I continued to prepare for the journey.

However, I always felt that something was missing, as if I had forgotten something important. After checking my bag several times, I found that nothing was missing, so I continued on my way with doubts.

There is no road in this wilderness. In the dark night, even if you stand on a high place, you can't see the scenery in the distance clearly. The only way to distinguish the direction is the star map. Only by walking forward in the direction guided by the star map can you avoid getting lost. I groped and walked out of the jungle surrounding the Fish Lake. After crossing two mountains, the familiar scenery finally appeared around me. At least I have some impression of this place in my memory.

Along the way, I didn't meet any barbarians. I guess maybe those barbarians only dare to move in the suburbs of El City.

Thinking of the night before, I was chased by those barbarians and felt very annoyed. I should have fought back. At least I have magic, which will make me invincible. If I can't beat them, at least I can escape. I touched my head with some regret, wondering why I didn't take advantage of the night to try the strength of those barbarians! I missed a great opportunity.

At this moment, I suddenly remembered what I had missed: the colorful rain butterfly on Lina's hair!

I actually forgot to tell her to drive the butterfly away or to kill it directly. This can also explain why I got rid of her so easily. It was not me who got rid of her. It was clearly the colorful rain butterfly that helped me. At this moment, I felt not all relaxed and relieved, but rather a little heavy and hesitant. When I thought of all the things that happened when Lina was chasing me, I wanted to turn back and see her situation.

But I was worried that she would catch me directly when she saw me. Maybe after so long, she had lost her patience and was just waiting for me to appear, catch me, and then ignore me and take me back to her team. But I don't want them to look at me like a little white mouse. I still have my own things to do. I cherish everything I have now. I also want to protect Sister Guoguo's two sisters. At least I want to watch them grow up and find their own happiness. These are what Sister Guoguo wanted to do. Now I need to do them. I don't even dare to appear in front of them, but I am always paying attention to them. I also want to find the evil wizard Mondtroya and send him to where he should go when I am qualified to challenge him.

So, I don't want to be noticed by others. I just want to do everything I do quietly. This year is the fifth year, and it is also the age for me to participate in the magic awakening ceremony and enter school. I am afraid that I will not have time to see Sister Guoguo again in the future. So, this time, although Fanny was so worried and reluctant, I still walked out.

I didn't expect to encounter so many troubles. I couldn't help but rescue Moras and his daughter. More coincidentally, the guards of Sloyt City escaped from the encirclement of the barbarians. I thought that until now, the barbarians probably didn't know how the guards escaped the blockade.

I forced myself to walk towards El City, but I couldn't move after only two steps. I finally closed my eyes and patted my forehead with my palms, saying to myself: "This is the last time, the last time!"

As I said that, I took a step and trotted back to the original road. I thought to myself: Lina, I hope you are okay!

I began to grope back along the road I had walked. The pictures in my memory were turned out from the golden sea of ​​spirit by me. The pictures in those fragments were connected into a set of beautiful pictures. The way back was not easy. I found barbarians lurking in the dark several times. If I hadn't dealt with them several times, I would have been discovered by now.

I don't know where so many barbarians came from. Their camp has completely occupied the vicinity of the reed pond. During the day, it was still empty, but now, it is no longer so easy to sneak into the Star Lake. I turned into a shadow like a light smoke and slowly and safely passed through the barbarians' sentries.

Just by the lake, the barbarians actually built a simple camp. The barbarians' tent was very simple. They only needed to cut down a few huge oak logs to build a triangular house, and then nailed a lot of cowhide to the outside to form a A huge tent, I leaned against the shadow area at the base of the wall and slowly moved in Camp, now I have been able to remain invisible for half an hour. I did not find Lina anywhere around the lake. However, I found some traces of fighting at the place where I last left. I think Lina was Na was most likely caught by these barbarians, and then she rushed into the barbarian camp risking her life.

These barbarians have a very keen sixth sense. These three-meter-tall barbarians are extremely powerful, and their strong thighs are thicker than my waist. They seem a little violent, and their fat bodies tremble when they walk back and forth. I miss them. They probably don’t like cannibalism. It’s not that the barbarians are not very interested in the women of the Green Empire. Their bodies are not suitable for being slaves in the north. For those barbarians, they are only capable of giving birth to human men. Tools for kids.

Walking to the center of the camp, dozens of temporary tents were set up here. These tents were all made of brand-new oak wood that smelled of tree oil. The barbarians gathered in twos and threes outside the tents. What surprised me was that I actually found human figures among the savages. They were some well-equipped warriors who were responsible for guarding several camps of their own.

When he opened the cowhide curtain of the thirteenth tent, it seemed as if the cowhide curtain had been blown open a little by the wind. No one inside noticed that I was eavesdropping on their conversation. I laid my body in a dark place, slowly took on the human form, and quietly listened to all the news about Lina.

The human soldiers changed into ordinary clothes and chatted with each other.

I was attracted by these topics, and turned to look inside. The soldiers were talking and laughing about a topic: "I heard that the plan of those barbarians failed. What we came here this time has no meaning at all, and we still have to do it in the future." It’s really unlucky to spend one night in this stinky camp.”

"I heard that something went wrong in the castle, and the two magicians escaped!" Another soldier piled his armor at his feet and whispered to his companion.

"Do you think our mutiny will be successful? Will many people die?" asked the soldier who spoke first.

Another soldier hesitated for a while before replying: "Probably not. As long as one party surrenders, this struggle for power will stop. Is it necessary for them to distinguish so clearly? They will all be Master of Sloit City, I don’t understand, what are these barbarians doing here? Don’t you think they have caused enough harm to our homeland? This group of slave hunters should be sent to hell. My aunt’s whole family died here. In the hands of barbarians!"

"But I think Baron Kai is serious this time. Maybe he really wants to be the only master of Slot City! However, it is a huge failure to lure wolves into the house. These barbarians are useless except for being bigger. "The soldier who spoke first also complained.

The whole story of the matter was made clear in just these few sentences. The mystery of these savages is also revealed.

It seems that all this was directed by the barbarian Baron Kay. I don’t know who Baron Kay is. He must be a certain noble in Sloit. Maybe he is familiar with the female knight I rescued.

I continued to look inside the tent and saw Lina tied up in the corner of the tent. There were several huge boxes piled around her. However, she had already woken up. Unexpectedly, she was blinking at me at this time. .
