wizards start with occlumency

Chapter 127 In Blood and Fire

The order was ruthless.

It was clear that Andrea's life was not taken seriously.

She felt like a rag, thrown away after being used up.

All kinds of emotions came to my mind.

Annoyed, depressed, crazy, hated, regretted...

She really resented the order.

But can Andrea refuse?
No!

She was already stuck in it, unable to extricate herself, and could only watch herself being forced into the abyss step by step.

"Colen, let's go faster."

Andrea took a few deep breaths, adjusted her emotions, and spoke in as calm a tone as possible.

She wanted to end this matter as soon as possible.

As long as there is a result.

No matter what your ending is, at least you don't have to be as anxious and worried as you are now.

"it is good."

Dalton was leading the way with his head down and didn't even look back when he replied.

In the past, every time he talked to Andrea, no matter what he was doing, he would keep his eyes on Andrea's face.

Instead of not even looking at it like now.

Andrea was so full of thoughts that she didn't notice this at all.

The feelings and relationships between people are gradually worn away, indifferent, and finally become extremely rigid in such little details, under such neglect again and again.

It was like a stranger whom I had never met or understood before.

Dalton could not recognize or tell whether the person behind him was the Andrea he knew.

That beautiful little girl who is pure, innocent, kind, and has an unparalleled bright smile.

He sighed softly in his heart, his emotions were extremely complicated.

Shaking his head, Dalton put aside his distracting thoughts and stopped thinking about Andrea.

He diverted his attention, deliberately leaving the boss on the road, recalling the reminders left for him, and repeatedly determining what to do next.

The information left by the boss was not concealed, and he bluntly said that doing so would be more dangerous.

If he doesn't want to, he can withdraw, just keep it secret.

But Dalton didn't care if it was dangerous or not.

He only wanted to make those who persecuted Andrea so unlike Andrea pay the price.

Raging anger burned in Dalton's chest.

The speed increased, and the road was not even opened. When encountering thorns and weeds, it was directly crushed.

Andrea followed behind, and suddenly there was no good way to go, but she couldn't complain, so she could only grit her teeth and endure.

No way, this is what she asked for.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the col and stopped to observe.

The entrance of the col is narrow, and looking inside, the hinterland is wide and open.

If you look down from a high altitude, the mountain col in the night looks like a ferocious beast that is about to bite people.

Those thatch trees growing on the flat ground, as tall as a person and as straight as swords, were illuminated by the "moonlight", making them shadowy and cold and eerie.

The chilling atmosphere inside the col is increasingly highlighted.

Perhaps there was something wrong in her mind. Standing at the entrance of the col and looking in, Andrea's calves were trembling a little, and she didn't dare to go deeper for a while.

"what happened to you?"

Hearing the footsteps behind him stop, Dalton turned around and asked.

We are almost at our destination, so don't make trouble at this time.

"No... nothing."

Andrea's voice trembled slightly, and she quickly bit her lip, using pain stimulation to help her regain her composure.

She raised her right hand, tugged her right ear and hair, and carelessly rubbed the front and back sides of the alexandrite, activating the function of transmitting voice messages.

At the same time, he asked, "Are you sure your boss is here?"

Dalton shrugged and said truthfully: "I'm not sure, but he should be there. The traces he left end here, and he didn't go anywhere else."

"is it?"

Andrea looked into the col and said with emotion, "It's so big and flat here. Except for weeds and shrubs, there are no wild animals. It's really a good place to rest for the night."

"Who said it wasn't."

Dalton echoed Andrea's words, "The boss is the boss, and he can choose a better camp location than us."

As he said that, he turned around, put his hands around his mouth, made a trumpet shape, and shouted loudly towards the mountain: "Boss, we have come to join you, please accept it."

In terms of acting, the five brothers are not professionals, but they are not bad at all.

As a member of the fraternity, Dalton is conscientious in his work. Even though he doesn't know what's going on elsewhere, he still carries out his part meticulously.

Even if you're singing a one-man show, you can't lose track.

The shouts echoed in the col, but there was no answer.

"Could it be that it's not here?"

Dalton wondered to himself, then walked into the col and started searching inside.

Andrea had no choice but to keep up, and followed Dalton to walk across the flat ground in the valley, shouting "Big Brother".

In the cave, Iris watched this scene with interest.

what?
You ask Dalton why he couldn't discover the cave?
In order to lurk better, Iris Clark waited for her role to play, but took out a mimic door panel from her small bag and blocked the hole.

Not to mention the naked eye, the reconnaissance witch weapon can't find it.

Iris is willing to do anything for fun, for ZZZZZZ.

It doesn’t matter if you pay for dry food yourself.

"Where did you go hiding?"

What surprised Iris even more was that she didn't even find Link.

This guy hides really well.

Be sure to play a game of peek-a-boo with this guy next time and see who can hide better.

Well, it's such a happy decision.

Trish Lucia watched the scene of Dalton and Andrea circling in the col with cold eyes, and she became more and more convinced of her intuition.

Link Grande is definitely hiding somewhere in the mountain col right now, preparing to ambush them.

Gui should be estimated to have been exposed before delivering the message during the day.

The reason why Link Grande didn't get rid of the internal agents in advance was most likely because he wanted to lure them over and catch them all at once.

Tracey Lucia didn't know where Link Grande got his confidence, but the more this happened, the more careful she had to deal with it.

After thinking about it, Trish Lucia decided to launch a wave of fire bombing first.

Anyway, it has been exposed.

"Let's bomb a few rounds first."

She gave the order, her tone nonchalant.

For wizard apprentices, the main function of 0-ring witchcraft is really to learn the rules of witchcraft and assist research, not combat.

In the highly civilized world of wizards, rune items and wizard weapons played a decisive role in the battles between wizard apprentices.

In rare cases, such as when there is no magic stone, such as a one-on-one arena battle with restricted conditions, or when runic items and witchcraft are exhausted, the only way to compete is with level 0 witchcraft.

Of course Tracy Lucia wouldn't still explore the grass with a straight face even though she knew that there might be a trap in the mountain col.

Naturally, we should fight grass first to see if we can scare out the snake.

"Yes."

The six members of "Pure Blood Will" did not take the lives of Dalton Coren and Andrea Norman seriously.

Various accessories were taken out one after another and assembled into individual weapons similar to mortars or grenades.

The two three-person teams have a clear division of labor and a tacit understanding of cooperation.

Responsible for maintaining the orientation and coordinates of reconnaissance,
Responsible for adjusting parameters of firing,
Responsible for loading and ensuring the supply of self-detonating mines.

"fire!"

Trish Lukia gave an order, and the two trio slammed the self-explosive fire mines one after another to the col, covering the bombardment.

One after another, self-destructing fire thunder roared through the night sky and fell into the mountain col.

Either explode in the air, or explode wildly on the ground.

"Hide away."

Dalton reacted quickly to the sudden attack.

He ran towards the foot of the mountain, not forgetting to warn Andrea who was stunned by the attack that was launched without even saying hello.

There was a constant explosion and rumble, and the flames were burning.

The self-detonating fire thunder blasted wildly for two rounds, blasting out craters one after another.

Dalton couldn't help feeling a little anxious when he saw that Andrea was still frozen in place and hadn't moved for a long time.

The battle between heaven and man began in his mind.

To save, or not to save, that is the question.

In the end, old friendships prevailed.

Dalton, who had found a place to hide, couldn't hold back, turned and rushed to Andrea, trying to drag her to a safe place.

"Collen, don't come here."

Andrea finally regained consciousness when she heard another whistling sound from above her head.

Looking up, a group of two self-explosive mines struck her.

She knows the existence of alchemy products that kill people here,

Her panic far surpassed Dalton's.

Seeing Dalton desperately coming to save her, his heart suddenly ached, tears rolled down uncontrollably, and he yelled crazily.

This fool.

Let her die. After all, it was her own fault.

He didn't want to implicate Dalton.

However, her repentance was too late.

Dalton and the self-destructing fire thunder arrived at her side at the same time.

Boom a few times.

Amid Andrea's strong remorse, two self-explosive fire mines exploded one after another.

Fortunately, Dalton put up the defensive shields of all the defensive rune items on his body in time to withstand the explosion damage of the self-destructing fire mine.

The two of them were not hurt except for their disheveled faces.

"Why are you so stupid?"

Dalton quickly hugged Andrea and ran out to the foot of the mountain. As he ran, he yelled, "Staying there and not moving, are you going to die?"

While staggering and moving, Andrea stared blankly at Dalton who was roaring angrily, tears rolling down like broken pearls: "I'm sorry, Colum."

Two people hugging each other and running can't go any faster.

The howling sound came again at this time, and the bombardment of the self-explosive fire thunder wave after wave did not stop at all.

If this entanglement continues, neither of the two will survive.

"Forgive me, Coron!"

Andrea suddenly made a decision and murmured softly.

As soon as she finished speaking, she broke free from Dalton's arms, pushed him aside, and ran in the other direction.

While running, she activated all the defensive rune items on her body.

Target Dalton and put layers of defense on him.

Even the water shield technique and wooden shield technique, which were not very proficient, were used in time.

After finishing this, Andrea raised her head and cursed at the bright "moon": "Stinky bitch, I quit! Come on, kill me if you have the ability!"

The continuous oppression, persecution, and bombing without prior notice have aroused Andrea's heart of resistance.

Dalton's selflessness fully catalyzed the heart of resistance.

Andrea knew that she actually had no way to retaliate, so she could only vent her anger like this.

"Tsk, stupid people."

Tracey Lucia looked at this scene with a sneer on her lips, and immediately ordered, "Follow her! Target her with saturation bombing."

But she still didn't use the "keychain".

"Yes."

The six members of "Pure Blood Will" responded in unison.

During the bombing, they assembled several more pieces of throwing equipment.

Now fires six self-explosive mines in one round of bombing.

It's too late, it's too soon.

After the words fell, six self-detonating fire mines were fired, hitting Andrea's head in an instant.

Dalton fell to the ground and struggled to get up, trying to rescue Andrea.

But he could only watch helplessly as she was blasted by six self-detonating fire thunders, and her figure was submerged in the flames and dust associated with the violent explosion.

When the dust settled and white light came, Andrea's figure had disappeared.

Only scattered flesh and stumps, crackling flames, and a disgusting burnt aroma were left in place.

The academy guaranteed not to die, but didn't say it guaranteed not to be harmed!

"Uh~ ah..."

Dalton roared like a wounded animal, but could do nothing.
He could only walk and crawl, jump into a cave, and hide himself.

Tracy Lucia stopped caring about Dalton.

The purpose of the bombing was not to punish internal agents, nor to vent anger, but to alert others and find Link Grande who might be hiding somewhere in the mountain col.

"stop."

More than ten rounds of bombings destroyed almost every convenient place in the mountainous area where people could hide.

But still didn't see the target.

In this case, either her judgment was wrong, or the target relied on the defensive witch-like weapon to forcibly withstand the explosion damage.

"Get close to reconnaissance."

Trish Lucia issued a new order.

The two members in charge of reconnaissance immediately broke away from the battle, each controlling the circular flying saucer and the bionic eagle, and conducted a thorough reconnaissance scan of the small col from different directions and heights with various reconnaissance modes.

Dalton, who was curled up in the cave, was found without accident.

There is still no trace of the target.

"One group, two groups, cross alert, move forward."

The bombing did not surprise the target, and the reconnaissance failed to find the target. Trish Lucia could only take the measures she least wanted to take.

Field search.

This is really a no-brainer.

In this way, our side has turned from darkness to light and lost an advantage.

The two trios were well-trained and immediately prepared for battle. One after another, they headed towards the small mountain col.

Link was lying on his stomach a few dozen steps away from Trish Lucia, buried in the soil and covered in a special cloak.

In order to stay hidden, he didn't even dare to cast his peripheral vision on anyone.

Didn't even dare to breathe.

Learn the enemy's arrangements and movements purely by eavesdropping.

When he heard the seven people setting off one after another towards the small mountain col, he breathed out softly.

People of "Pure Blood Will" are not fools.

It's impossible for every move to be in line with Link's expectations.

The idea of ​​exploding for more than a dozen rounds before talking about suspicion of fraud was beyond Link's expectations.

Link was even mentally prepared for the failure of the ambush just now, ready to start a backup plan.

Quietly withdraw, not willing to fight.

Iris Clarke is so clever, and she can act on camera if she thinks about it.

Fortunately, the "pure blood" people were too determined to kill him, knowing that it was a dangerous place, but unwilling, they still wanted to go to investigate.

There is still a possibility that the ambush plan will succeed.

After all, the place where the trap is buried is in the center of the mountain col. It is not a corner that is suitable for traps in the general sense.

Moreover, the delayed self-explosive fire mine will not be affected by the explosion of other self-explosive fire mines except for the combined stimulation of mental power and magic power.

In the cave, Iris saw the previous waves of bombing, the roaring sound, and the gorgeous scene, but they were not caused by her, and she was in a bad mood.

Fortunately, it won't be long before she can explode too.

Tracy Lucia entered the col safely, waved her hand, and sent all two groups of people to search.

She herself also walked around the craters created by the explosion, carefully examining the uneven ground.

Due to the topography of the mountain col, there are only two places where people can hide and set up ambushes.

Either a cave or underground.

What Tracy Lucia was checking was whether there were any traces of excavation.

Link Grande is a high-level affinity for water and wood, so it is impossible for him to know earth magic.

If he wants to hide himself and lay traps, except for the ready-made caves and potholes, he can only dig by himself, and there will inevitably be traces.

Gradually, Tracy Lucia made a circle and walked to the flattest center area of ​​the col.

"Report, no target found."

One group searched the left side of the col but found nothing.

"Report, no target found."

The second group put aside Dalton Collen, who had violently resisted but was quickly subdued, and went forward to report.

Perhaps as luck would have it, all seven people gathered in the middle of the plain.

"Good, good, good!"

Iris laughed wildly and detonated the trap without hesitation.

The added version of the delayed self-explosive fire mine, the ordinary delayed self-explosive fire mine, including the big killer, are activated at the same time.

A deafening roar sounded.

Mushroom clouds rise and rise.

All sounds are silent.
