Wizard From Afar

"Boom————!!!!"

The rumbling sound of heaven shaking, earth shattering is abrupt at the top of the cloud crown tree in the quiet and peaceful midnight Explode.

The entire Mist Moon Court was awakened by a sudden loud noise. The elves from the entire ancient wood forest rose from their sleep in all directions in fear, and then looked not far away in panic. A wisp of black smoke rose vaguely from the top of the cloud crown tree.

Like a long knife erected, dividing the full moon in the night sky into two.

Outside the cloud crown tree, Luca, who had just arrived before he could give orders to the war dancers behind him, lifts the head in astonishment amidst the loud noise, completely shocked.

"This, this fell to the ground..."

Luca's voice shuddered.

The surrounding morning star forest war dancers were equally stunned with their eyes wide open; each of them shook their heads and wiped their eyes, with an unbelievable appearance.

"Luca, could it be said that..."

Behind the middle-aged elf, a war dancer opened his mouth in astonishment, suddenly remembering something as if he was holding Luca's Shoulder.

Not far away, the alarmed war dancers in the Wuyue Court began to gather one after another, rushing from all directions to the direction of the cloud crown tree; in the settlement, there were screams everywhere. The sound of calling.

"Calm down, don't panic!"

Luca quickly recovered her composure and stopped the elves behind him, furiously shouting at the surrounding war dancers: "All the war dancers split into two. Team, block the top of the Cloud Crown Tree, don’t let anyone in or out—the rest will follow me!"

"Yes—!"

War dancers in the morning star forest Naturally, they divided into two teams and started to act; the others covered Luca and rushed straight up in the direction where the cloud crown tree exploded.

The closer you get, the denser the surrounding smoke and dust, and the blurred vision, you can barely see the shape of the tree house not far away, and there is nothing else.

There was no movement, no sound, and no sound of crying for help.

Luca's mood also became restless.

Although he guessed that Loren, he would definitely not be like an obediently and honestly scout, obediently and honestly investigating and collecting information, but such a big disturbance is indeed out of Luca Unexpected.

Loren Torino, shouldn't he really...

Huh?

As he approached the tree house, Lucca vaguely found a silhouette in the smoke and dust.

He silently patted his side against the shoulders of the dancers. The gladly aware Morning Star Forest elves immediately dispersed and hid in the tree house all around.

It wasn’t until he walked into the tree house that Luca really saw each other—Middle, who was kneeling on the bed, turned his back to him, coughing in the smoke and looking up at the moon sky above his head; as thin The Azorean long knife of as cicada wing was lying across the thigh, and for some reason, the scabbard was missing.

Luca, who couldn't help raising her eyebrows, scanned the room for another week, making sure that apart from this Azores, there was indeed no silhouette of a second person.

Huh?

What about people?

All around the cloud crown tree has been blocked by the war dancers of the Morning Star Forest. If Loren leaves the impossible, he will avoid his sight; even more how the guards on the periphery have been alarmed, and the entire misty moon court is as solid as gold. , He can't escape.

is it possible that …he simply did not leave, but hid somewhere?

"Oh...cough cough cough...you, you are the Lord Luca, the former war dancer leader of the morning star forest, right, cough cough cough..."

While coughing violently, While turning his head to look towards the middle-aged elf behind him, Midel smiled and asked: "I thought we won't see each other until tomorrow, but didn't expect...cough cough cough...this is...cough cough...what a surprise!"

Luka with a serious look, ignoring the choking smoke, walked straight into the room, and at the same time looked around.

Indeed, there is no second silhouette in the room except Middle, and there is no place that seems to be able to hide people.

"Dear Lord Middleell, we should have never met. How did you know it was me?"

"Just like you knew me-when you came At that time, someone had already told me your prestigious cough cough cough......"

Under Luca’s gaze, Midel waved his hand with an expression of "I’m fine, don’t worry about me". It’s red as if it’s about to cough up all the lungs:

"Also, I have seen your war dancers; among the few settlements closest to the cloud crown tree, only yesterday was just The morningstar forest war dancers who arrived are the closest to the position of the Cloud Crown Tree."

Looking at the other party's appearance in the explosion and smoke, Luca couldn't help but frowned.

"Sorry, do you have anything to ask?"

Middle turned around and blushed and looked towards Luca sincerely, as if he was almost caught The collapsed tree house and smoke and dust seemed to have nothing to do with him.

"Since you have spoken, please tell me these..." With a slight frown, Lukayan waved the smoke in front of his mouth and nose: "What the hell is going on?"

"Ah...this..."

Middle smiled immediately, his eyes dodge a little awkwardly: "Please be patient and listen to my explanation. This is how things are..."

…………………………

Almost a quarter or two ago...

"...Of course, if you don’t want to take a gamble , I have other ways to ease our embarrassment at this moment..."

At the same time as the voice fell, Loren's hand was like a juggling with a deep red metal ball.

The Azores took a look at it, an inexplicable premonition rise in the mind.

"This is an alchemy bomb. If you don't understand, treat it as a magic that can be used at any time." After calming his mood, Loren raised his mouth slightly:

"Simply speaking, It can make a loud noise and smoke, and I can take advantage of the smoke to escape in time, and you are responsible for staying and responding to the guards who come to inquire.

In this way, you can tell anyone who comes. What happened to the elves, and I also have enough intelligence to report to your Majesty in the Sky Vault, we are not at a loss... This is a win-win situation."

Middle shook his head, his expression remains the same:

"No, it's not fair--I don't know what this'alchemy bomb' is. What if you want to be perish with me because you are loyal to the emperor?"

"I seem to be so loyal, do I regard death as my home?"

"..."Middle.

In the quiet tree house, both of them have gradually noticed that the war dancers are gradually moving closer, blocking the nearby sound.

"You can only make a choice-whether we two make the decision by ourselves, or wait until the elves outside rush in and let them decide our life and death."

On the side of Loren While speaking, he gently shook the alchemy bomb in his hand.

"Where is the difference?" Middle asked rhetorically.

"One active voice, one passive voice." Loren laughed: "Of course, they are all voices in the future tense."

"Really?" Midel lightly Snorted, the long knife in his hand gently presses: "But I can kill you now, so I don't have to think about being active or passive."

Loren raised his eyebrows and smiled happily: "That's right , But you only have time to stab it—maybe there is a small switch on this alchemy bomb that can turn the smoke into flames, and the two of us are really perish together."

"You are not without So loyal?"

"..."Loren Torino.

"I think there should be a Third Type option." Midel opened the mouth and said abruptly.

"Third Type?"

"Yes, it is the choice to turn the enemy into a friend." The Azores smiled gently: "Your Excellency Edward, you are really capable , How can an excellent warrior like you give up to a small guard? In our Azores kingdom, the real warrior can stand side by side with Xiong Yingwang..."

"Wait a minute! "Loren interrupted him with a weird expression:

"Do you want to win me?"

"No, it is to help you get what really belongs to you." I saw rice. Del solemnly said: "Of course, it is okay for you to understand this, but what I said is sincere.

You may have noticed it, yes, I arrived at Sark very early. Lan, you know a lot about the empire-but if you are willing to yield to my deputy, everything will be smoother next!

If all goes well, you will get far beyond that. The emperor can give; and if you fail, you can also push all guilt on me, and use my head in exchange for the emperor’s trust in you, how about?!"

black hair wizard pondered for a moment... Although he didn't say anything, Midel believed he had moved him.

Sure enough, the warrior who lives by the sword is always arrogant and wild ambition...

"I think we still have a fourth choice." Loren's voice suddenly interrupted Middel’s meditation.

"Please speak!"

"I think how can an excellent warrior like you, Your Excellency, be able to yield to a small misty moon court? In our Sackland Empire , The real warrior can serve the dragon Wang Family under the Vault of Heaven..."

Loren, with a narrow face, repeated what the Azores had just said with another word.

Even if Midel’s temper is good, he will inevitably feel a chill in his heart. The sharp blade in his hand almost failed to control his strength and penetrated Loren’s throat

"You! Very good...almost. I've been in your way, Lord Edward."

However, when he raised his eyes, he found that Loren's expression froze.

"Ding Dong——!"

A light sound broke the dead silence of assassin.

For a moment, Midel lowered his head and saw Loren's hand empty and the small metal ball falling to the ground.

It was only then that he remembered that when he was shaking, he seemed to have accidentally "touched" the arm of the black hair wizard.

so that's how it is, Edward... he has lost the bargaining chip to threaten me, so that I can...

I didn’t wait for Midel to laugh, I saw it on the ground The metal ball suddenly began to vibrate and buzzed.

Middle raised his eyebrows and looked ignorant; but Loren faintly remembered what Lucien had said.

"...Why is it called an'alchemy bomb' because it is extremely unstable! Not only can it be ignited and can be exploded, it can be exploded when thrown out; !"

"This thing, it shouldn't..."

The slightly frowned Middel lifts the head, just about to ask Loren a few words, but found that the front is empty One piece; when I look back, I just see the black hair wizard hurriedly jumping out of the window...

In the next second, Midel only felt a violent heat wave with a terrifying wind. Press, assaults the senses towards yourself!

………………………………

"Skip your hands?"

Luca's expression is extremely inexplicable...what is this called? Answer.

"Whether you are believing or not, that's the truth anyway." Midel replied with a wry smile, lightly sighed: "In the Kingdom of Azores, my hometown, the wizards’ magic and alchemy are still It’s a very novel thing, so it will inevitably make people feel curiosity."

"The explosion and smoke just now were caused by my mistakes in my experiment and slippery hands. If you disturbed you, please accept it. Sincere apologies."

"I see, I will inform you later." Luca nodded, said solemnly word by word: "So...there is no assassin, just you The mistake of the experiment caused the explosion just now."

"Yes, that's it." Slightly nodded, Midel calmly stared at Luca:

" My hands are slippery."

Luca is nodded, which means I believe it.

The letter is the ghost.

He is a war dancer from the Morning Star Forest. He has seen how herbs are made; he has also dealt with the little wizard in the Ogre War, and he also knows a thing or two about alchemy.

But Luca deliberately did not say anything.

"Since there is no assassin, or the External Race people mixed into the settlement, then there is no need to blockade." Luca nodded, pondered for a moment and made a decision: "But I will still leave a few War dancers, just in case.

Besides, because of the movement here, the entire Wuyue Court was alarmed, and there are guards patrolling everywhere outside...So if there is nothing special, I will trouble you. Be sure not to leave, so as not to cause misunderstanding."

"This is natural, your arrangement is very proper and prudent, I must stay obediently and honestly...cough cough cough..."

Nodded, Luca, who felt that he didn't need to stay any longer, glanced at the increasing movement outside, and chose to turn around and leave.

Just as he was about to leave, the Azores suddenly called to him.

"Your Excellency Luca, you are the former war dancer leader of the Morning Star Forest settlement. Morning Star Forest should be the only settlement that has dealt with the Empire."

Raise your eyes. , Midel calmly stared at the back in front of him: "Excuse me...Do you know an empire named'Edward'?"

"Edward?"

Stunned, Lu Ka turned her head and looked inexplicable: "What's wrong?"

The face of the middle-aged elf was so natural that it couldn't be more natural.

"Oh, nothing." After confirming Luca's expression, Middel smiled as if he was relieved: "Just curious, just ask."

After that, he lifts the head again, solemnly straightened his upper body to Luca's face, bowed and saluted:

"The war dancers of the Morning Star Forest are indeed the entire ancient wood forest. It is the most warrior-like clan with the bloodline origins of our Azores."

At this moment, the Azores seemed to have got the answer, relieved.
