perfect savior

Chapter 54 Rescue
In the tavern, Lu Yuan quickly finished an oak barrel.

The proprietress was not particularly surprised by the girl's astonishing capacity for alcohol. Mother God, this world is a splendid magical civilization with many extraordinary people, and the noble girl is probably not an ordinary person.

"Boss." Lu Yuan finished his food and drink, and wiped the corners of his mouth gracefully:
"I'm looking for someone, a young man about my age, with black pupils, the kind blacker than a crow."

As soon as the "black pupil" was mentioned, the proprietress quickly remembered that there were not many strangers in Huimaqi Town, and the characteristics of a teenager were too obvious.

"Boss, we are traveling companions. We went to the Imperial Academy of Magic to take the exam. Something happened on the way and we got separated."

"Miss, that man has gone to the forest to the east. That's the shortest way to the imperial capital." The proprietress had no doubts about him. From her point of view, it was normal for a young girl to report to the Academy of Magic with her dress and age.

However, the Imperial Academy of Magic... is really amazing...

"Thank you, boss." Lu Yuan got up and nodded slightly. After paying the money, he pushed open the door and broke into the dark night.

……

"Huh, huh..."

The boy with pure black eyes hid behind a tree, trying his best to lower his breathing.

Pupils of this color are not common in the Llandmore area. If a drunk "local" notices the boy's pupil color, he might mock him, "These eyeballs are as black as a bear."

The man-bear, this kind of monster standing more than four meters high, the boy had already seen it just now. It was cut in half by the broad sword in the knight's hand in an instant, and it didn't even have time to let out a wail.

And then, the boy fled to the present under the pursuit of the knight.

As we all know, low-level muscular guys have a crushing advantage over low-level mages. Under the circumstances of slow casting speed, poor mana reserve, and lack of powerful alchemy props, a new knight can knock out magic apprentices with a single punch. Spike!

What's more, the ones chasing and killing the boy were standard knight squads, consisting of five people with rich experience and ruthless characters who had fought in the battlefield.

And... the boy is not even a magic apprentice, he is a beginner who knows a little about alchemy.

He couldn't beat even one of them, let alone five of them, so the young man didn't even have the thought of resisting, but burrowed into the woods like a rabbit, trying to get rid of them by night.

It's a pity that the experience gap between the two sides in wild life is too large, and the boy has not been able to get rid of the distance.

"Huh, huh... Calm down, I have to rest, otherwise I'll be exhausted before they catch up." He leaned against the tree trunk, tried his best to soothe his emotions, took off the water bag, and took a sip.

"Looking at their family crests, they should belong to Ye Feiluo's family... Is it because of that woman... and the worst thing is, they don't even bother to cover up their family crests!"

The young man thought bitterly, his clear black pupils bursting with anger.

However, no matter how angry he was, there was nothing he could do at this time. After a short rest, he stood up and wanted to continue on his way.

"The east side of this forest is connected to Kaique Mountain. After crossing Kaique Mountain, even if you enter the prosperous area, there is no way for the knights of Ye Feiluo's family to chase and kill me openly. After all, the entrance exam for the Imperial Academy of Magic is approaching. , a lot of people are watching."

The young man packed up his mood, picked up the wooden stick he picked in the woods, and prepared to set off.

It's a pity that he had just taken two steps when the sound of breaking through the air came from behind.

The boy hurriedly turned to the ground, dodging the throwing ax in an extremely embarrassed posture, but this dodge was too hasty, a stone on the ground caught his backpack, and with a bang, the backpack rolled out and was stepped on by a black boot. down.

"Boy, you can run very well. Did you really grow up in a bakery?" The owner of the black boots was a young knight in light armor. He smiled and gestured to the boy to wipe his neck:
"Little mouse, you can't run~"

Footsteps came from all around, and almost instantly, the other four knights also surrounded them.

There is no escape.

The boy unconsciously breathed heavily and swallowed saliva, but even though he was extremely frightened, he straightened his spine and did not beg for mercy.

"Arxi, don't run away anymore." It was the leader of the team of knights who spoke, he was a middle-aged man with a goatee, and his voice was very calm:

"As a knight, I promise that I will let you leave without pain and go to the embrace of the Mother God."

Arxi's black pupils flashed with anger:
"Huh... knights? I really didn't know that five big men wearing armor and holding giant swords to hunt down civilians can also be called knights."

"It is also the virtue of a knight to act on the benefactor's order." The middle-aged knight did not feel guilty at all:

"And Arxi, as a commoner, you shouldn't offend nobles...especially when they are engaged."

"Hey, boss, why are you talking so much to this little mouse, you are going to die anyway." The young knight waved his finger, and the backpack under his feet was scratched by the strong finger wind.

Everything inside rolled out.

The young knight picked and picked contemptuously:
"Tsk tsk, isn't this all rubbish... I heard that you, Arxi, are an alchemy genius who was born in a commoner's family. Heh, you are a countryman after all. You have never seen the world. These are alchemy products? A pile of scrap metal. "

Alxi clenched his fists and pursed his lips tightly.

This is not to show weakness, but to look for opportunities.

In the hands of the young man, he was holding onto a small ball-shaped object, which was an alchemy tool he made himself, specially used for escape.

This ball was named by him, Hu Lai Feng Ying Soul Devouring Soul Shaking Thunder - Type Zero!
Well, it's actually a smoke bomb.

But Arxi is very confident in his works. Although most of them are not good in appearance, his alchemy finished products are extremely practical, abandoning the gaudy genre, and are very close to the ancient alchemy concept.

After throwing away the Tiger Ridge Shadow Soul Devourer Thunder Type Zero, he ran away immediately. The air nearby was humid, and it seemed that he was not far from the water source... Arxi was thinking about the escape route in his mind, and his energy was concentrated like never before.

"Okay, kill him quickly, the body must be disposed of." The knight leader said lightly, intending to end the mission immediately.

"Okay..." The young knight put down his backpack, drew out his sword, and walked slowly towards Alxi:

"Little mouse, don't worry, Xiaoshou won't feel pain..."

"It's coming...Mother God, please bless me..." Arxi's pupils constricted, and he held the ball, ready to explode at any time.

At the critical moment, the murderous intent looms.

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly broke the silence of the dense forest at night.

"He's right, bullying the weak is not a knight."

The voice was clear and sweet, which was incompatible with the depressing situation at this time.

Everyone searched for their reputation and saw a beautiful young girl sitting on a tall tree branch, with a magnificent posture and white moccasin boots dangling, carrying the mischievousness and romance unique to this age.

Arxi looked at the girl, but forgot to take advantage of this moment to throw the bullet and run away.

He swears that he is a devout believer in the Mother Goddess.

But at this moment, Arxi still feels that the girl under the moon is more beautiful than the statue in the sacrificial hall.
