7. The remnants of the hermitage


I chanted a magic spell quickly.Time Stagnant is a time not to consider mana consumption, and using Time Stagnant allows me to turn many simple spells into instantaneous, such as hydrotherapy, ice shields, ice archery, and water gathering.In fact, it was not a simple water gathering technique, but a wall of water was instantly condensed and sealed at the window.When a curtain of water appeared from the window, the magician who was running in front of him happened to crash into the wall of water, and he turned his head to look at me deeply, even with a mocking sneer on his face, as if he could escape if he ran out of the tavern.But it was obvious that he was thinking too much, and when his entire right arm and right shoulder were inserted into the wall of water, causing the wall of water sealed in the window to splash countless water, and his hand had even reached out of the window, at this moment, I spat out softly: "Freeze ice!"

”The magic pattern circle on his fingertips was formed almost instantly.The wall of water condensed into ice in an instant, freezing the magician between the walls of water, a cold smile still froze on his face, and the magician who followed him looked at the frosty window in astonishment, and found that the way was blocked, so he had to grit his teeth and turn around, and waved a shadow arrow without hesitation.I dodged the shadow arrow with a quick dodge, and the shadow arrow hit the wall, instantly corroding it into a fist-sized hole.The magician who was frozen on the ice wall, with his unfrozen left hand, took out a magic scroll from his magic waist bag, put it to his mouth to untie the rope on it, and pasted the magic scroll on the ice wall with a hideous face, and then did not rush to recite the spell, but propped up the magic shield on his body.Only then did the fire-based magic scroll on the ice wall detonate, and in an instant a huge fireball exploded on the ice wall, not only the ice wall sealed on the window was blown to pieces, but even half of the window was blown to pieces, and the magician stood at the window with a magic shield, and whispered to the magician who was confronting me in the room: "Hurry up!"

”The shadow mage didn't dare to show his back in the confrontation with me, and released two shadow arrows at me in succession, one of which I dodged, and the other was blocked by an ice shield.The moment I dealt with his shadow arrow, the shadow mage turned and ran out, but when he turned around, he found that the companion who had been holding up the magic shield was lying silently on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.In a panic, he took out a magic scroll from his waist bag, and before he could unfold the magic scroll, a snow-white arm stretched out from the back of his neck, and put a sharp recurve knife on his neck, and Caterina's voice sounded from next to his ear: "Don't move!

”The magician didn't listen to Caterina's threat, he gritted his teeth and continued to tear open the magic scroll in his hand, and scorching flames burst out of the scroll.That's when I realized that the shadow mage didn't want to run away at all.When he saw his companion fall silently, what he felt out of his magic belt bag was not a magic shield scroll that wanted to protect him, but a magic scroll of bursting fire that wanted to detonate himself.Therefore, the dagger handed over by Caterina did not affect his decision, and he still tore open the exploding flame scroll without hesitation, and the thick fire instantly engulfed him and Caterina.He didn't see Caterina the whole time, only a white lotus-like arm sticking out from behind him, and a crooked recurve knife.His whole body was covered with raging flames, and he instantly turned into a burning man, screaming and rushing out into the street from the window of the restaurant.Running along the long street for dozens of meters, he rushed directly to the harbor wharf.The crowd on the street avoided the burning man with a fire all over his body, everyone looked at the burning man with frightened eyes, and the people in front of him avoided in confusion, and the stall owners of the fish market on the side picked up the wooden bucket, scooped up half a bucket of water and chased him desperately.Unfortunately he was running too fast, perhaps with all his life potential, like a sprinter, running far ahead, followed by a group of fish market stall owners with buckets.Everyone shouted eagerly, but to no avail, he could not listen to anything, and ran straight to the sea.Unfortunately, he finally collapsed on the dock a few steps away from the sea, and the flames in his body were still not extinguished, and his body kept twitching and making a sizzling sound under the flames.Caterina staggered out of the corner of the room.Luckily, she reacted quickly enough to dodge the explosion before the Burst Flame Scroll could be detonated.Seeing that Caterina was safe, I chased through the blown window, but only saw the scorched wreckage of the magician.The onlookers on the sidelines saw me coming up from behind and made way for me, and I walked straight to find that the burst flames were burning so much that they almost burned the shadow mage to char.The people around me looked at the wreckage on the ground in horror and talked about it, and they originally looked at me with some doubts on their faces, but when they saw a magic badge pinned to my chest, the look of surprise in their eyes gradually faded.At this time, Caterina caught up from behind and whispered in my ear: "Jacques.

Mensa is sober, and he wants to thank you in person. ”I turned around and walked towards the restaurant, saw a big hole in the outer wall of the restaurant, and thought to myself: this restaurant has been inadvertently implicated in some way, and I guess I can only consider myself unlucky.Ying Li, Helena, and Becky came in from outside the private room at this time, looked at the mess in the private room, and wanted to walk in, but were stopped by my eyes.I don't want them to be involved, where the Dark Arts Retreat appears, naturally there will be a law enforcement team of the Magic Guild coming over, if they check Ying Li, they can quickly confirm Ying Li's true identity, so that Ying Li's whereabouts will be leaked, and I don't know if Lady Manda will send someone to find Ying Li back.Ying Li was looking forward to this trip to Vasqi's plane, and exchanged glances with Ying Li and motioned for them to stay in the crowd.Seeing that I was safe and sound, Ying Li did not come out, but stood in the crowd with Helena and Becky.Jacques sat in the corner with a pale face, the chains of the shadow on his body had disappeared, he was probably a little frightened, he sat in the corner and looked a little shivering, and when he saw me enter through the broken window, his eyes regained some light, he opened his mouth slightly to me, but the words he wanted to say were blocked in his throat, and he never spoke.After a moment of silence, he struggled to burst out of his throat with two words: "Thank you." ”I stood in front of him, looked at him sympathetically, and at this time I couldn't say anything, but said, "You take a rest first, there is such a big thing going on here, we have to wait for some people to come over!"

”He nodded to me slightly, then turned his gaze back to Harry, who was lying on the couch, his eyes full of hatred.The fierce fighting in the private room did not affect the nobleman Harry, who was still lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, indulging in the hallucinations of demonic blood, and I walked over and slapped him in the face a dozen times.Harry slowly woke up from the psychedelic world, all hallucinations disappeared, he opened his eyes in confusion, and saw me standing in front of him, looking at me with some confusion, and then felt his face a little hot.

It hurt so much that he reached out and touched his cheek, and found that his face was not only swollen high, but also had a trace of blood.Only then did he remember some things before, his eyes fell on the messy private room, and found traces of a fight, and he looked around with a suspicious face, but he did not find any trace of the two magicians, and saw Jacques sitting in the corner resting with a haggard face, and he already had a premonition that something was wrong.In a panic, he called out to the door for his servants, but found that at the door of the private room, the servants were trapped and sitting honestly on the floor.Harry panicked and asked me, "Who are you?"

”I gave him a cold look and said, "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that you must stay here honestly and prepare to be interrogated by the Magic Guild Enforcement Team!"

”Such a big incident happened on the side of the fishing port dock market, and the Illinas City Guard Battalion didn't take too long before several guard knights rode over.As soon as they arrived at the scene, they immediately brought the scene under control, and all the onlookers were invited out of the restaurant, and the place where the charred body was burned on the dock was also cleared.This was followed by a routine check-in, and I recounted some of the things that happened on the spot.When they wanted to ask the same question again, I said impatiently, "There is a trace of the Dark Arts Hermitage in Illinus City, shouldn't this be the duty of the Magic Guild Law Enforcement Corps?"

”The chief knight of the guard battalion was pushed back by my words, and his face became as black as the bottom of the pot, but there was nothing he could do about me.Sure enough, after a while, the magicians of the Magic Guild Law Enforcement Group were late, but as soon as they arrived at the scene, they immediately took the initiative at the scene and took out a special magic crystal to test the remaining magic elements and traces of battle at the scene.An older magician looked at me quizzically and asked, "Are you a water magician?"

”I nodded, he had a silver and gold-rimmed magic badge on his chest, he looked like a magician with a level of strength that was higher than mine, I nodded, and while taking the magic badge on his chest to him for inspection, I said, "I am a student of the Royal Academy of Magic in the Imperial Capital, and I am good at water magic skills." ”"No wonder there's such a strong aura of water elemental here," the old magician said to me with a pleasant face.After understanding the situation, the mages of the law enforcement team did not want to keep me to continue drinking tea, so I walked out of the restaurant with Caterina and Jacques, and saw the owner of the restaurant standing outside the restaurant, explaining to the guard at the door of the restaurant with a tearful expression that he was the owner of the restaurant and wanted to enter the restaurant to see the extent of the damage.But the two guards at the door paid no attention to the restaurateur and stood at the door like two straight stakes.The coachman who drove us to the port dock parked the magic caravan outside the port dock, which must have been heard that something was going on on the port dock, and when I found him, he was standing on the roof of the carriage, looking at the port dock with a worried expression."

It's okay if you're okay, I heard that there were some fights over there, and I'm worried that you'll be affected by it, after all, I proposed to you to come to the port dock."

When the coachman saw me, he immediately said to me with a beaming face.At this time, he saw Jacques who was following me, looking weak and tired.

Mensa said in surprise: "Huh!

Young Master Jacques is here too?

”Jacques.

Mensa nodded weakly and staggered onto the magic caravan.The coachman sensed that something must have happened, and said, "Oh my God, what have you been through, and how dare anyone in the city of Illinus be disrespectful to you?"

”"Give us the manor, Noah should probably wake up by this time!"

I said to the coachman.The coachman, knowing that he would lose his words, immediately shut his mouth, and the magic caravan carried us back to the Duke Mensa's manor.After all, the Mensa family is the real master of Illinas City, and the whole story of what happened at the port dock has already been passed to the Duke's Palace before us, and at this time, the Bird butler is already waiting in front of the castle door, watching us step down from the magic caravan with a calm face.Butler Bird said to me, "Young Master Noah has woken up, Your Excellency Wizard Jiga, are you going to see him?"

”I nodded and said, "Exactly." ”Butler Bird bowed me again before he said sincerely, "I will arrange for a waiter to take you there, and besides, the Duchess has asked me to express my gratitude to you for your help to Master Jacques in the morning." ”A young waiter stood in front of me, leading me the way, and I hurriedly followed, and they followed me.Butler Bird glanced at Jacques, who was cowering and stepping down from the carriage, and said to him calmly: "Young Master Jacques, the Duchess is waiting for you in the living room, please come with me!"

”Jacques behaved very honestly, and followed closely behind Bird's butler, and in the carriage he had regained some strength, but was still weak.It seems that under the influence of the Shadow Curse magic, it will take some time for Jacques to fully recover.The waiter did not lead us to Noah's room, but walked along the long corridor of the castle to the back of the castle, and after a long passage we came to the back garden of the castle, which was built on the edge of a cliff and looked up from the city, as if it were built in the air.I suddenly thought of Louis.

Mensa's garden on top of the Emerald Bay Trading House in the imperial capital has much in common with the cliff-top garden, and it seems to have inherited many of the characteristics of this garden.The waiter then led us to the edge of the cliff and walked up a lift, and he stood quietly in the elevator, waiting for us to walk up the lift.
