Chapter 176 Traveling Thousands of Miles
With the sound of "miso", the crisp long sword out of its sheath sounded... At that moment, it seemed that the starlight all over the sky was hidden, and the brilliant sword light suddenly burst into pieces, cutting the thunderballs that were still under control in the hands of the circle and the ones scattered throughout the surrounding space. The next second, the long sword went into the sheath, the clouds were light and the wind was light, and the world returned to color from black and white, and the thunderball had been cut into the void and disappeared.
"Hmm! Where did the dark remnants come from that dare to be presumptuous in the imperial capital!" A figure held a sword in one hand and stood quietly in the open space a few meters in front of the circle. He shouted angrily in a low and majestic voice.
"Great practitioner! Humph, I have regained my strength today. How can I be afraid of you!" The circle roared, and the dark power on his body fluctuated violently, and the dark electric light in his hands soared again, which was a little stronger than before.
After being pulled 100 meters away by the suction just now, Lance and Xixi finally stopped retreating. Looking up at the two figures fighting in the distance, Lance was a little stunned... Looking at the man's back, he always felt a little familiar, and the voice when he spoke just now, although majestic, he did not feel completely real and seemed to be deliberately. He frowned, but couldn't remember where he had met this person. Normally, such a master should not forget if he knows each other or only has one fate.
"Xixi, how are you feeling?" If you can't remember, don't think about it. Lance quickly looked at the people beside him and asked with concern.
The temple knight, who was struggling to get up from the ground, was stunned when he heard the question, and then shook his head and said, "It's okay. Your name is Lance, right? I remember that on the back street of the Tulip Tavern, we passed each other's names. Can you hold on? It seems that a strong man took action just now. We should help.
'This guy is really...' Lance resisted the impulse to pat his head. Then he looked at Xixi and said seriously, "The person who just saved us is a great practitioner at first sight. With the remaining fighting spirit we have now, even if we rush forward, it may not help. Instead, it may drag us back, and the strong man needs to protect us in turn. The reason why the strong man sent us so far away from the battlefield is that he does not want us to return to the battle again. What we should do now is to escape immediately. The strong man is already a great practitioner. Even if he is defeated by the circle, he can definitely retreat calmly! You quickly reported the news to the temple, and I returned to the college so that I wouldn't waste the man's kindness.
"This..." Xixi said hesitantly.
"Okay, it's not too late. We must leave immediately!" Lance pulled Xixi and said in a low voice.
"Okay, let's go!" Xixi no longer hesitated and nodded solemnly.
......
......
When the two 'returned' partners took advantage of the night to escape, the battle there was also coming to an end. But what they were worried about didn't happen. Because the circle that was arrogant and insulting the god of light just now has been beaten by a larger figure than him, and there is little power.
"Uh! Damn it, magic martial arts double cultivation? Illusion magic and silver sword spirit... He will calculate this account again!" After several rounds of fighting, the circle finally had a blood from the corners of his mouth and did not retreat. Looking at the figure slowly floating in the air, his eyes were full of fear. He put down his harsh words and planned to turn around and escape.
"Hmm, it's not that easy to go!" The figure didn't move much. As soon as the sword was sent forward, a flash was handed to the circle.
A sharp roar: "Damn it! Don't push people too much!" He gritted his teeth and took the sword. It's a few steps back again. However, after this sword, the sword spirit continued to cover him, and the circle left and right flashed. Fortunately, his skin was rough and thick, even if he shouted in pain, he was not severely damaged...
It's just that there is no way to go on like this. A trace of fierceness flashed in the eyes of the circle, and a loud shout, and the two fists shining with dark light directly pounded into the sword net. "Oh!" With a sound, a pair of fat arms were cut blood, but they also shook the figure away. He looked at the suddenly killed figure with resentment, as if to carve him into the bone marrow, nailed him there, and then roared and pulled himself out...
The speed of the circle is extremely fast, and it is estimated that some secret method is used to stimulate the potential of the body. Even the great practitioner is a little out of reach, and he can only watch him run away.
"Well, it's just the left side door, a clown." The swordsman did not pursue, shook his head with a slight mockery, and then turned around and looked at the night behind him. It was the direction where Lance and Xixi fled just now. There is nothing there now. Two powerful young people have long known where to escape. But this man still seems to see clearly. He smiled faintly and said, "I ran so fast that I didn't know how to thank me."
......
......
In the outskirts of the imperial capital sky city, two young and energetic figures are moving at a high speed, but their physical pace is slightly awkward. When they finally could look at the gate of the main city, the two slowly stopped...
"Wow...Wow... Well, it's finally in the imperial capital..." Xixi was gasping violently, and his lungs were making a sound like a broken wind box. Yingwu's face has now completely turned into a mud monkey face, and the powerful temple knight's uniform has also become wrinkled and shabby, completely without the momentum before starting from the imperial capital.
Lance's condition is much better. If he had been in his previous life, he would have looked like Xixi, a difficult brother. However, after all, he is not a real 16-year-old boy now. If he hadn't met the circle of sudden transformation into a dark practitioner today, he would not have been so embarrassed.
After the swordsman took action, the two fled all the way to the imperial capital without any pause. This is actually a very correct choice. Ordinary young people may not be able to think of this. There should be a sudden appearance of a great swordsman to help and rescue them, and there should be no fear. However, the two teenagers knew that this was not the case. Lance is wise and far-sighted, while Xixi is wise and stupid. Although sometimes he is brave and a little stupid, he is definitely not really ignorant.
In this mission, the people in their temples are very clear about the true identity of the circle. If the sudden swordsman is defeated by the circle, then he can naturally retreat calmly. But the circle will never let go of Xixi and two other knights who knew his identity. Therefore, even though Xixi was extremely tired along the way, he did not look relaxed at all. It was not until he ran to the imperial capital that he finally stopped his legs, which had already been filled with lead.
After a short break, Xixi looked at Lance beside him in surprise and found that the other party's situation was much better than her at this time. She couldn't help admiring it secretly. There were indeed many high-ranking people in the college. At the same time, she warned herself not to do it because of what she had achieved now. And be proud and complacent. Lance, thank you this time. I don't know what would happen without your help.
"You're welcome." Lance waved his hand quickly. In his previous life, Xixi and his party finally succeeded in escaping back to the imperial capital. Although they fell into a coma after returning to the temple and forgot part of their memories, but it did not have much impact. At that time, Lance was thinking about what kind of danger it would make this happen. Now I understand that it is because of the rescue of the great swordsman, even if he doesn't take action today, Xixi's life will not be in danger.
The only difference is that if she doesn't take action, Xixi will definitely not be able to resist the appearance of the swordsman and will be seriously injured, which will eventually lead to the invasion of dark magic and memory loss...
Lance looked at Xixi and said seriously, "This person called Circle is hidden in the East Continent. He must have a great plan. Let's quickly report this matter to the college and the temple."
"Well, that's true." Xixi nodded and said, "It's not too late. Let's act separately. Thanks to your help today. I will definitely come to thank you in the future.
......
......
After Lance returned to the imperial capital, it was already the second day of the new week. Because it was still early, he did not rush to the college directly, but went back home first. After all, this matter was completed by asking my father to send me the news and map, and I went there for two and a half days. If I came back silently and went straight to the college without saying a word, then it doesn't make sense anyway. It's reasonable to go back to the house to inform me first.
However, when he returned to Rosier's mansion and knocked on the door of the inner courtyard, he was told by his servants that the master was not at home, and it seemed that he was busy going to the Sorcerer's Guild for some large-scale magic experiment. Lance smiled helplessly and said that his father was indeed a workaholic. I didn't pay attention to the little thing I went to deal with at all. However, he would like to know if his father could be so relieved if he knew that this person was a dark practitioner lurking in the Eastern Continent in the Dark Parliament.
Since Quinn Rosier is not there, Lance will certainly not stay at home for a long time. Since he came back from the mission, he hasn't officially taken a class. Although he fought with a great practitioner in the middle of the night, and fled all the way through seven or eight big cities before returning to the imperial capital, it can be seen that most of his mental condition and physical strength have recovered at this time. After pushing the door out of the house, he once again moved his legs to the direction of the college in the east of the imperial capital. It's the beginning of another rush...
