Shadow Covenant

Chapter 197 "Change of the Sky"

"Goddess of Life..."

Tesia couldn't help but exclaimed, her eyes filled with disbelief. Although she knew that Cecil was very powerful, she wouldn't imagine that she would suddenly give herself such a precious potion that she couldn't touch with her identity.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

But Tesia took it without hesitation, she didn't even have the slightest hesitation, because she knew that every second of her hesitation was a disrespect to her mother.

Compared with her own dignity, her life is simply insignificant.

"You don't need to thank me. Generally speaking, you have proved your value in being invested."

Cecil did not play the emotional card, nor did she say that these are all she should get, but from the perspective of a spellcaster, she emphasized the value of Tecia.

Sure enough, this argument stunned Tesia who originally wanted to thank her. It seemed that she couldn't figure out what kind of help this tall and noble girl mage, who was more noble than the nobles, needed her help. After all, she also said just now Well, she can't lead people out of the gray mist, even if she wants to leave, she can walk alone, and she has no use value at all.

Cecil, Woody and others can still treat her like this after knowing about it, she is already satisfied.

Of course, when he realized that he still had investment value, even though he knew that this might be a way for Cecil to win people's hearts, Tesia was still unavoidably moved.

She bowed respectfully to the two people in the carriage, even the cat was no exception, and said in a trembling tone.

"But still thank you, Your Excellency Woody, Mr. Cat, and Your Highness Cecil, I will always remember what you said. If my mother is really saved, just tell me to do it."

Although Tesia was trembling when she spoke, and she was a little unsteady, but the sincerity in her tone could be clearly sensed, and no one present would doubt the authenticity of this sentence.

"It's not a particularly difficult thing, anyway, let's save your mother first! We're going back to the city now, you should know the way! Little Tesia."

When Cecil heard Tesia's sincere reply, she naturally appreciated it, and her tone eased a lot. Although she still behaved noblely, it did not prevent her from comforting this weak sister like a sister.

"Well, how could I forget, my hometown..."

Even though the carriage was driving in the wilderness, surrounded by desolate and desolate rocky beaches, it still did not prevent Tesia's eyes from passing through the gentle slopes, crossing the ravines, and flying towards the Golden River Valley, the ordinary town standing beside the Golden Milky Way, where with her mother...

"Let's go then."

After confirming the position, Cecil stopped hesitating and let the carriage go in the direction Tesia pointed out. At the same time, she certainly didn't forget to inform the guards of the merchant group to hurry and lean towards her forward position at the same time as a spellcasting Or, she has always been very humble and cautious, even though her strength has reached the peak in this small town whose permanent population may not exceed 2W, it still does not prevent her from planning to have guards surround her to ensure her safety.

Woody's face was still silent, or since he and Cecil came out of the room, he has been wandering in the sky. Apart from ensuring the necessary contact with the outside world, he basically focused on his own world.

Because judging from the information collected from Tesia just now, his original guess was completely subverted.

Originally, he guessed that the person standing behind Tesia might be related to the will of the Feathered Serpent God. He remembered that there were still many indigenous people in the valley forest who served him in the last life, but now it seems that he has [-]% Based on the above, the person behind the scenes has nothing to do with the will of the Feathered Serpent God, and it is more likely to be a guy in Hegu City.

As for who it is, it's easy to guess. Although there is no real evidence, Cecil is also skeptical, but Woody is extremely confident.

Because... he will give away his feet soon.

Soon, even halfway faster than Woody expected, Cecil's luxury traveling carriage had just driven to the end of the rocky beach, and the bumpy feeling had just disappeared, and Woody, who was sitting on the shaft, saw the On the winding road of the Milky Way all the way down, on the other side of the horizon, in addition to the smoke and dust splashed, there was the sound of horseshoes like a gust of wind and a shower.

This is obviously a lot of cavalry, thirty, oh no, at least 50 or more.

Someone is in a hurry!

Seeing this scene, Woody knew it already. Of course, the sound of horseshoes also alarmed Cecil and others inside.

However, only Tesia's face showed a little uneasiness, but this did not prevent her from expressing a firm position.

"Leave the carriage and run to the water, they won't find us!"

The girl did not give in or say righteously that she had to bear it with perseverance, but decisively told everyone the truth about her experience.

This is the key to her escape from the gray mist. Although Woody had already guessed it, but when he heard that it was really related to water, he still couldn't help lowering his eyes and thinking.

Now there is a ninety-eight percent chance...

Here Tesia is still talking vividly about her escape experience, and the bewilderment of the group of guards when she hid by the water, obviously only a few reeds separated her, and dozens of people couldn't find her at all.

For this aspect, Tesia has a very high say.

If it weren't for the fact that the source of the Golden Galaxy was so far away from the Elf Market at the foot of the Gorgon Mountains, even blocked by a waterfall, Tesia would have quietly left along the Golden Galaxy.

"Near the water? Near the water so they can't find us?"

It was the first time Cecil heard this statement, and asked with interest.

"Yes, although I can't tell you how you know it, but please believe me, I won't harm you. I was also hiding by the water in that temporary camp before, so they couldn't find me."

What Tecia said was swearing, and her expression did not seem to be false, and Doni also ran out to testify.

"That's right, Little Tesia was in the reeds at that time, and the group of human guards didn't even look for her."

"But Tesia, don't worry, there is Cecil here, there is no problem, and I will protect you too!"

Although it was a bit funny for Huamao to say this, Tesia still thanked her sincerely.

"Then thank you, Mr. Flower Cat."

"hey-hey."

Doni, who was called the wrong gender, was not annoyed. Instead, she was very excited and rubbed her furry head up to show her love, and at the same time kept talking.

"It's okay, we'll just sit in the car and watch it later, Cecil is very powerful, although I... um..."

"Although what?" Tesia asked curiously.

"Although I am her Demon Pet, it does not prevent me from acknowledging it from the bottom of my heart. Cecil is really powerful, and people outside are no match for her."

Doni originally wanted to reveal that she was not bad, but she swallowed the words. After all, she can't do anything now, so what's the point of saying more?

Thinking about it, Doni couldn't help but lowered her head, and her mood also sank, but soon the drooping hair was smoothed by a hand, and the owner of the hand heard a burst of laughter like a silver bell.

"Hahaha, you are so cute, Mr. Cat."

Tesia, who was amused by Donnie's joke, was overjoyed. The doubts and worries just now had long been thrown into the sky, and she started her cat stroking business.

As for Cecil and Woody, neither made a sound, they have been watching their slapstick as outsiders, neither joining nor stopping, but quietly doing their own things.

Facing the rushing guards of River Valley City.

Woody chose to park the carriage on the side of the road, while Cecil took out the staff that was particularly dazzling in Green Brook Town before, and began to prepare to cast spells.

As a high-level mage, she never wanted to escape.

They should be the ones who really want to escape here later.

Cecil's sea-blue eyes looked at the smoke and dust in the distance. With a slight movement of his fingers, the jewel at the top of the staff in his hand quickly lit up, and a ripple invisible to the naked eye immediately centered on the jewel at the tip of the staff and spread around instantly. and go.

……

"Master Fife, just ahead!"

The scout saw the luxury carriage parked on the side of the road from a distance, and he turned back, roaring out against the sound of the wind, and everyone also saw the inconspicuous black spot on the horizon.

Fife, the tall knight who Woody had met once, also frowned slightly.

"They didn't escape?"

"Yes! My lord, they stopped there. There is only one man who is still acting outside. Well, that man seems familiar. He is the man who clashed with us yesterday and seriously injured Officer Ruth."

The scouts carefully told Fife their information. Not long ago, their team was still chasing and searching for the fugitive who dared to violate the laws of the Golden River Valley. They immediately received messages from other teams, and they found the fugitive Or, she just couldn't break through her defense and needed to ask for assistance. This made Fife, who was already full of anger, rush there with his men without hesitation. The guard team learned from their mouths that the fugitive had been rescued, and he came to rescue through the portal.

This naturally made Fife furious, especially after he had returned to River Valley City and told his boss, the lord of River Valley City, Viscount Korn, about his concerns about the temporary camp. With the means, Fife feels that he has nothing to fear in the entire Golden River Valley.

Therefore, after hearing that some spellcasters dared to obstruct them from capturing the fugitives, they speeded up and sent seven or eight scouts to check the direction of the carriage. Of course, Fife did not forget to use the carrier pigeon to notify the others to come out. of the two guards.

You must know that Viscount Korn has four powerful knights under his command.

And this time, apart from the green knight James stationed in River Valley City, the other three, besides himself, are the recovered silver knight Russ and the black knight Terman. They all have good combat power. reinforcements.

And this time, they came out with the precious treasures given to them by Viscount Korn, in order to avoid encountering the situation in the previous temporary camp again, shrinking and fearing the caster.

Hearing the scout's answer, Fife's shock suddenly turned into joy.

"Sure enough, it was those guys who hid the fugitive. I said why can't I find her!"

When he said this, Fife gritted his teeth.

"But this time, I won't let them go so easily!"

With the delegation of authority from Viscount Korn, and the scroll that had just arrived in the cowhide bag at his waist, Fife felt his body full of strength, he shouted loudly.

"Soldiers! Spread out first, then maintain formation! No one is allowed to do anything without my order!"

Although he has the means to target the spellcaster, it does not prevent him from achieving the ultimate in tactics at this time.

This made the other guards who followed him look very respectful, and they all looked at Fife with admiration.

This is probably despising the opponent psychologically, but paying attention to the opponent in action!

You really deserve to be the Lord Jazz of River Valley City!

Not to mention the various admiration of the guards, Fife's orders are non-stop.

"Come two people and ask Russ and Terman how long it will take to arrive. Remember to tell Russ that an old friend is waiting for him here, let him come here quickly!"

"Yes!"

Seeing the scouts going away, Fife couldn't help touching the short beard on his chin, looking at the still motionless black spot, thinking in his heart.

"The only thing missing now is time..."

……

"They surrounded and did not attack!"

Woody looked at the surrounding guards in the distance, and smiled at Cecil behind him.

"It seems they are waiting for someone."

Closing his eyes and casting a spell, Cecil said without lifting his eyelids after giving Woody a "cat's grace".

"Then wait, it's best to call everyone in River Valley City."

There was a little disdain in her tone, and as she spoke, she raised her hand and blessed Woody with another spell.

- "Protective Energy Shield"

Feeling the blessings of colorful spells on his body, Woody couldn't help laughing.

"really."

He didn't think it was that wrong, because Cecil already respected his opponent enough.

He couldn't help looking at the sky above his head where the stars disappeared. At this time, the clouds were piled up and condensed into a ball. If you don't have dark vision, it is difficult to detect the strangeness above your head. After all, in the dark night, few people will care about the sky above their heads. When the stars disappear, I don't care when, the wind in the wilderness is even colder and icier.

As Woody, who has stayed in the Northland in his previous life and also got along with the caster, he naturally knows that this is an advanced spell among the casters of the Thousand Towers Society, which reaches the eighth ring level and can be compared to a small natural disaster.

——"Thundercloud storm."

Compared with the Druid's Thunder Summoning, the range is larger, and the number of thunderbolts is larger, and the continuous thunderclap will also apply sonic attacks other than lightning damage to hostile creatures within the range. In addition to these, whenever the thunder falls, there will also be Small wind pressure fields are formed, forming tornadoes that are strong enough to blow horses.

If there is no preparation in advance, the final outcome is basically either being struck to death by lightning, or being blown into the sky, and then being cast by such spells. When they step in, the outcome is already doomed.

So, after about 10 minutes, I looked at the guards who were far apart in all directions.

Woody still couldn't help shaking his head, but at this time, Fife and his two other knight comrades, Russ and Farman, were standing on a hillside on horseback, watching Surrounded and gathered, the luxury carriage is indifferent.

Ruth, who was younger and had a feud with Woody, whose face was paler now, but who was much stronger than before, said.

"They don't want to surrender!"

"..."

Fife glanced at his idiot teammate and didn't answer, but he was also a little surprised, why there was no movement at all, including the man in black leather armor, who didn't even move a bit, sitting cross-legged on the shaft, Like an ascetic monk who practiced quietly.

"It may be waiting for us to approach, maybe there are traps."

Farman made a feasible suggestion. They didn't know who their opponent was, they only knew that it was a spellcaster from the Northland.

"It's okay, the loss of personnel this time, as long as the fugitive can be brought back, the master will be very happy."

Fife didn't care about the casualties of his subordinates, but he still gave orders to the approaching guards.

"Let the frontal troops start attacking, and slow down in other directions."

And at this moment, he felt a ding-dong sound coming from the armor.

He subconsciously wiped the helmet with the iron glove, and found a wet slip mark.

This is……

rainwater?

Fife looked up and found that at some point, the stars in the night sky disappeared and turned into dense dark clouds, and the range of the dark clouds covered the sky visible to the naked eye.

The sky has changed! ?

It has to be done quickly!
