Dominate the world in three weeks?

Terrence disappeared.

Because of the sudden scream, Terrence and Lancer rushed into the jungle together.The gloomy weather combined with the heavy rain made the visibility in the woods extremely poor.Not only that, but not long after the two of them stepped into the woods, white mist suddenly diffused from the branches.

Ranser felt the crisis almost instantly. He turned around and grabbed Terrence's wrist, but only got a ball of air.

"...Terrence?"

Lancer's face turned livid.He drew out his long sword and tried to split the dense fog with his fighting spirit, but after the strong wind blew a narrow passage, the fog quickly closed within a few seconds.From that limited range of sight, Lancer found nothing but eerie trees.

He was almost overwhelmed by the anxiety in his heart. If it wasn't for the magic circle on his chest telling him that Terrence was safe and sound so far, Lancer would have given up even a little rationality of calm thinking.

He jumped and ran quickly in the woods, and the wind caused by his fighting spirit would use gravity to swirl and roll up the surrounding fog every time his toes touched the ground.Lancer used this to search for traces of Terrence, but there was only the sound of rain in his ears, and there was no one in sight.

Lancer gritted his teeth, and even tasted blood in his mouth.

His fingers holding the weapon started to go numb, and the panic that gradually rose up in his body made his body almost lose strength, but it also made his will be paralyzed and hard as a rock.He couldn't think about what happened to Terrence, he could only comfort himself with the only connection in his chest.

Terrence was injured several times in the school qualifying competition, and Lancer had never been as flustered as he is now.But now, his little master is not by his side.That fact itself began to frighten him.

Just when Lancer's fighting spirit was about to be exhausted by his extravagant use, he finally heard a sound in the dense fog that covered the sky.

He almost turned into a bolt of lightning and galloped towards the direction where the voice came from.

The fog rolled endlessly at such a speed, bringing out a distinct trajectory.

"Lang lang—"

The weapon streaked across the thick white air, Lancer's eyes narrowed a little, he quickly turned over, and slashed fiercely along the direction that the weapon hit.This sword was as powerful as a bamboo, carrying Lancer's anger and anxiety, smashing the air into pieces.

But in the short clear scenery, there are still lifeless tree shadows.

Lancer's eyes turned to one side, he bent down suddenly, dodged a horizontal sword, and then turned his wrist, changing the direction of the blade and stabbing behind him.

There is no more suitable cover than the white mist, and this sword naturally fell into the void again.

The opponent's methods are superb, and Lancer gradually loses the wind.He had expended too much energy in the process of searching for Terrence, but now he was holding his breath and fighting hard.

Soon, the enemy's sword blade covered with a thick layer of vindictiveness split through the mist and pointed directly at Lancer's throat.The two finally saw each other's true faces in the fog.

"It's you--"

When the blade was only one centimeter away from Lancer's neck, it stopped suddenly.

Lancer stared at the other person's face, and found that the one who had been entangled with him was the sheriff——Aaron Shaw.

"How will you be here?"

"I should be the one asking you this question." Aaron Xiao didn't withdraw his weapon. Instead, he moved his hand forward, and the blade brushed Lancer's neck and landed on his shoulder.

"Someone heard someone shouting around here, so I came here to check. So why are you here, the loyal guard of His Excellency the Duke of Aldret?"

Aaron's eyes were full of doubts. As the sheriff who guarded the safety of the imperial capital, he had long developed the habit of being suspicious of anyone and everything.But when Terrence's surname was read out of his mouth, Lancer's face, which was flushed due to excessive physical exertion, sank again.

"The master is gone." Lanser took a deep breath, and finally said the words, the words turned into facts and weighed heavily on him, causing his back to bend. "My master and I were nearby, and we came in because we heard screams. Then, the master disappeared in the white mist."

"What?!" Even a calm and indifferent man like Aaron Xiao couldn't control his volume.

As the only duke of the empire, Terrence Aldret is not only honorable, but also represents an important political image of the Shannenpel Empire.Now that the people of the imperial capital are fluctuating due to the strange death incident, if there is another accident for the duke, there will be an uproar at that time.

Lancer's face sank like water, he stretched out his hand to push away the sharp knife around his neck, and wiped his rain-soaked face: "So I have to find—"

Before he finished speaking, the white mist seemed to come suddenly, and then faded away without a sound.

The forest under the heavy rain once again showed its original appearance.As far as the eye could see, there was nothing.

People from the Public Security Department searched carefully in the jujube grove next to the cemetery in the suburbs.

At this time, the heavy rain finally stopped, but the sky was already shrouded in darkness.After the dark clouds dissipated, the sky was full of stars above the head, like pearls soaked in water, shining warm and bright starlight.

But who's in the mood to appreciate that?

Everyone carried their magic lamps and walked slowly through the woods that were less than an acre, trying to find out who they were—they were called, but they didn't know what kind of heavy responsibility they were shouldering.Aaron Shaw resisted Lancer's anger and the pressure of the future projected on the present.He couldn't announce the disappearance of His Excellency the Duke at such a time. No one was prepared for this, and the Queen certainly wasn't—even if no one could be found, it was very important to find any clues for reference.

Lancer was also among them, his face was frozen, only his eyes that were looking around were alive.Aaron Xiao was right beside him.

Lancer still held out hope.He was always worried that Terrence would be in danger if he was not capable enough, but now that something happened to the other party, he could only trust Terrence's ability.

He didn't feel any pain in his body, nor did he feel that his life force was being lost.This means that Terrence is still safe, maybe he has escaped from danger, and now he is hiding somewhere waiting for himself to appear.

But Aaron Xiao was much more sensible.

To be honest, after listening to Lancer's account of what happened before, Aaron Shaw was almost sure that Duke Aldret was no longer in the woods.Think about it, the strangeness of the white mist, if it is to cover up something, now dissipates completely, it means that the person who arranged the white mist has got what he wanted and successfully escaped from here.

But Aaron had no idea where to find the duke who was being held hostage. He could only hope that there would be some clues that the duke accidentally left behind in the woods.

total darkness.

Terrence opened his eyes.

He didn't know where he was, and all he could see was darkness.

Terrence blinked hard, but that didn't change the situation.He began to guess that he was blind, but lying in a place where he couldn't see his fingers.

Thinking brought his mind back to the memory before he fell into a coma.

At that time, he and Lancer walked into the woods one after the other.When the white mist began to fill the air, Terrence had already felt the active water elements in the air.He wanted to remind Lancer to be careful, but before he could open his mouth, he was restrained by the other party.

Also a water mage, the level of the unknown person is definitely above him.

The rain has become the opponent's most powerful weapon.

Terrence's feet were tightly bound by the water on the ground, and his head was also enveloped in a ball of water.The suffocation caused him to quickly lose consciousness. When he woke up again, he was lying in a cold and dark room with his hands tied behind his back.

Terrence carefully listened, and after noticing that there was no sound nearby, he began to carefully struggle with the iron chain wrapped around his wrist.

But after half a day, Terrence had to give up the useless struggle.The chain must have been engraved with runes that restrain magic power.Terrence obviously felt that his magic power had turned into a winter ice brick, and he no longer had the usual activity of leaping and jumping in his body.

——For being so cautious, I should really be grateful that the other party didn't know what to worry about, and didn't kill me directly at the beginning.

Terrence thought to himself mockingly, while groping behind with numb hands.

First, it was the ground covered with mud and gravel, and then at the back, Terrence touched the uneven brick wall.

Regardless of the dust that was thrown up, he rubbed against the wall vigorously, and pressed the chain on his wrist against a protruding stone brick.

——Since I came back to life this time, I haven't treated myself so harshly.

Terrence frowned and thought, his arms began to strain.

A burning pain came from his wrist, but after a while, it was hard to feel the pain that made him break out in a cold sweat.Terrence's fingertips flowed with wet and warm liquid/body, which was the blood dripping from the skin and flesh after his wrist was severely strangled by the chain.

With the lubrication of blood, the movement of breaking free from the chain became less dry.

Terrence closed his eyes tightly, bit his lower lip, and with the last effort, he finally got rid of the restraints.

He took a few breaths like a dehydrated fish.

The wound on the wrist was soon covered with mud, and the pain became obvious again, causing Terrence's body to convulse.

But the groan/groan was swallowed by him.The smell of blood spread from the tip of his nose, which made Terrence a little worried whether the person who captured him would notice.

Just as he was thinking this way, the sound of the rusty door hinge being turned sounded.

Terrence froze his body, a slender light appeared in front of his eyes, and then became wider and wider.

It was a sliding door set diagonally above him, and it was being pulled up at this moment.A dark figure in a robe walked in with his back against the light.

Terrence quickly realized that his worry was unnecessary, the bloody smell wafting from the opponent's body was worse than his.
