On the Seven Towers

"Ah!" Katarina screamed. But from Xiao Chen's perspective, it sounded very light.

"Katrina, it's me!" Xiao Chen shouted, he took off his hood and revealed his face.

Katarina finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the person coming: "Brother Xiao, I ran and ran and I couldn't see anyone around me. I was staring at Tasia, but I turned my head to look at you, and I couldn't find her when I looked back."

"Don't worry, we should be not far away."

"Oh, but why are you talking so softly?"

"This thick fog may have the effect of isolating sound. As long as we are a little further away, the sound will be much weaker." Xiao Chen said, he rode to Katarina, "This must be a conspiracy of the Shadow Group, we must always be careful of what will come out of the fog."

The surrounding buildings were submerged in the thick fog. In the fog, they had nothing to refer to their position. After moving a few steps casually, they had no direction.

"We can't keep walking like this. We must keep walking in one direction. Even if we can't meet them, we must get out first." Xiao Chen said.

When Tashia followed Xiao Chen on horseback, there was a hole in the ground ahead. The horse naturally moved out. When she passed the hole, she could no longer see other people around her.

She called out the names of Belia and Xiao Chen, but there was no response.

The horse she rode seemed to be afraid of the white mist and refused to move. She had to dismount and start walking to find other people.

In this white world, time seemed to be non-existent. She walked there, but she didn't know how long she had walked or how far she had walked.

She was filled with fear at this moment, because from childhood to adulthood, she had never been alone in such an environment where no one could rely on her.

She suddenly thought that perhaps the fire magic she was good at could dispel the white mist, so she began to release the fire wall spell on the spot. It seemed particularly laborious to release spells in the white mist, but she spent more mental energy and time, and finally let the fire wall burn.

The rising flames formed a crisscross fire net around her. Under the burning of the flames, the white mist around her seemed to have diminished. With the warmth they brought, Tasya felt much safer.

But she didn't know that Sancho was holding a dagger and looking at her coldly, right next to her.

——————————————————

This mist was naturally brought by Sancho. To be precise, it came from a treasure of the Black Mountain Branch of the Shadow Group, the Mist Set.

It consists of a smoke nozzle and a pair of tracking glasses. This smoke not only has the effect of isolating sound, but also weakens the energy of magic and fighting spirit. Sancho, who was wearing glasses, could see bright red figures in the white mist.

He had long felt that what Markola said was wrong, so he set up this killing game on the road that the Black Mountain Mage had to take when he returned, leaving the main force behind.

Now, it turns out that his premonition was correct. Since this group of people are back, the people of the Shadow Group are probably in danger.

His power alone was far inferior to that of the team, but with the white mist, he became a hunter, and the prey was still at a loss.

Sancho originally planned to kill the troublemaker Xiao Chen first, but just as he was about to do it, another female mage cast a fire magic. These flames not only began to burn the white mist, making the mist thinner, but also filled the tracking glasses with red. It was impossible to distinguish between the fire shadow and the human figure.

"Since you are looking for death, let's start with you." Sancho took out a dagger and held it in his hand. This dagger was called the Piercer, which had a strong penetrating effect on any shield. He specially prepared it to deal with the Black Mountain Mage. He walked towards Tashia's position based on his memory.

————————————————————

The flames burned for a few minutes. When Tashia looked up, she saw that the sky should have had a faint blue color. She believed that as long as she persisted for a while, she could find others.

However, she suddenly felt her heart pounding, and some danger was approaching quickly, so she activated the protective bracelet without hesitation.

There was a bang from behind her, and she turned around and saw a middle-aged man holding a dagger and stabbing it into her shield. The shield began to produce cracks from the insertion hole of the dagger.

She raised her hand and shot a fireball, but the middle-aged man disappeared in the mist like a ghost. A moment later, he appeared in the original position and inserted the dagger into the crack again.

She switched to fire spear and rocket attack twice, but the opponent still easily avoided the fire spear, and the rocket was broken by him. The man continued to attack on the crack, and the shield finally couldn't withstand the opponent's attack and broke like an eggshell.

The mage was at a disadvantage against the assassin who was close to him, not to mention that Tashia's power was weakened by the white mist.

When her last rocket magic was chopped off by the opponent, the black dagger in the man's hand was already against her neck.

"You... are Sancho?" The surrounding firelight illuminated the faces of the two people, and Tashia suddenly remembered the characteristics of Sancho described by Xiao Chen.

"Yes, who are you, the female mage?"

Tashia's throat was pressed by a knife, and she was forced to raise her head slightly, but the more she did so, the more unyielding her eyes revealed, "I am Tashia from the Alonso family. I think you should have heard of this name."

Her answer was followed by a brief moment of silence, and Sancho asked: "It's actually you? As the eldest lady of the Alonso family, why are you appearing with Xiao Chen?"

Tasia showed a naturally arrogant expression: "Humph, what's the problem? Your Excellency Xiao Chen is an important ally of our family and a good friend of mine. I heard that someone is going to harm him tonight, so of course we friends have to step in." A contribution.”

Sancho said flatly: "Impossible! I have been investigating these people for a long time. They came to Montenegro from nowhere for less than half a year. They have no time to become allies of the Alonso family. Even you have known him for only a few weeks. Can you become a friend who can trust your life? I don’t believe it! Why do you want to get involved in this matter?”

"You actually use time to evaluate friendship? Then I really have nothing to say to you." Tasia did not hide the look of contempt on her face, which was completely different from the way she looked in front of Xiao Chen.

Sancho angrily thrust the dagger at Tasia's neck, and a stream of blood flowed from her neck. He shouted: "Ignore Xiao Chen's business first, dispel your fire wall magic! Otherwise, I will stab it in with the next knife." !”

"Whether it's in the name of Alonso or the name of the magician, I will never shrink in front of you." When Tasia said this, her voice trembled a little. She swallowed and her throat movements expanded. He opened her wound, causing more blood to flow out. Her lips trembled slightly, and she gasped for a long time before speaking again. "You can kill me as long as you want. Giving in to threats will only tarnish my honor. We people value honor above life, so give up."
