With blue hair, blue eyes, level 20 strength and immature face, McGonagall couldn't figure out that the person her father recognized with was such an ordinary child magician.

It can't be that my father is looking away, right?

While McGonagall was carefully observing the nebula, the advancing nebula also looked at McGonagall from time to time.

It's so weird! Nebula couldn't figure out how easily McGonagall would agree to her wanton request.

He and McGonagall only met for the first day today, and McGonagall didn't even know what kind of adventure team he had joined, and how many members of the team were, so it was a bit of a joke for him to join in such a hurry?

Both of them were silently thinking about their own thoughts, and the work of cleaning up the monsters on the way was naturally handed over to Anne and Yuta.

Fortunately, Nebula and the others had already cleared the road before, and Annie and Yuta only needed to clean up the monsters that roamed around the road.

In a few moments, the four of them were back at the bottom of the eastern rocky area. Compared with the cold winds mixed with sand and dust and the continuous clouds and mist of the fifth layer of the eastern rock, this bottom layer can be said to be much better, at least an environment suitable for ordinary human life.

Just as Xingyun and the others were about to return to the Warrior Tribe through the eastern suburbs of the Warrior Tribe, a wooden man with empty eyes floated in mid-air and appeared in front of Xingyun and the others with open arms.

The Wooden Man is more than a meter tall and about the same height as the Nebula. Its forehead has a wonderful pattern that at first glance looks like the wrinkles on the forehead of the elderly, but it is actually an intricate inscription.

Could it be that this is a puppet!?

The meaning of the wooden puppet opening its arms is obvious, which is to tell itself and others that "this way is not going to work".

Nebula and his party looked at each other, their faces more or less suspicious.

In the adventure world, the puppeteer can be said to be an extremely rare subclass among magicians, hundreds of times less than the scarce number of pharmacists and alchemists.

What did the puppeteer's puppet do when he stopped himself and others?

Could it be that the puppeteer is around here?

At this moment, the sound of small footsteps came from the distance behind Xingyun and his group.

The footsteps were messy and hurried, as if a group of vicious wolves were chasing him behind the owner of the footsteps.

As the footsteps approached, Nebula also saw the other party's appearance clearly.

The man was dressed in a pale blue gold-rimmed robe, and wore a cap of the same color as the robe. His face is mostly obscured by a wide hat, and only his slightly long bangs and nose can be faintly seen.

He seemed to be in a hurry, and after seeing Xingyun and the others from a distance, he ran towards Xingyun and the others while waving his arms.

"Wait! I, I," he could finish his staccato words when he tripped over a pebble on the side of the stone road.

He almost fell off the cliff after rolling on the ground twice, you must know that although Xingyun and the others reached the bottom of the eastern rocky area, this area is still dozens of meters away from the ground, if it falls so defenselessly, I believe that even McGonagall, as a swordsman, will not dare to say that she can be safe, let alone the puppeteer in front of her.

Maybe it's because he's simple-minded, or maybe he's more concerned about other things. This man didn't even cry out in pain, and just stumbled in front of the Nebula people.

After taking a few big breaths, he spoke to Xingyun and the others, "Did you kill the Dryad King just now?" ”

As he spoke, his fingers moved slightly, and the puppet in front of Nebula and his group slowly returned to him.

Xingyun looked at the puppet floating slowly in the air with great curiosity, nodded and asked the puppeteer with great interest, "Who are you?" Is it a puppeteer? What's the matter with us? ”

The blue-robed puppeteer patted the dust on his body, puffed up his chest, and introduced himself to Nebula very complacently: "My name is Francis, and I am a genius puppeteer!" ”

Nebula was almost knocked to the ground by Thunder after hearing Francis's self-introduction, Anne and Jutta were even more stunned by the puppeteer's speech, and even the cold and calm McGonagall couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows twice after hearing Francis's words.

Is this puppeteer too narcissistic?

If Francis is not too self-absorbed, then he is likely to be a genius puppeteer as he claims to be.

Faced with such a person, Xingyun and the others didn't know how to answer for a while.

Unexpectedly, Francis immediately said to Nebula and the others: "Hurry up and hand over the body of the Dryad King to me!" Mistress Francis needs it for a study! ”

Nebula was stunned, such an impudent request from this puppeteer named Francis could actually speak!

McGonagall snorted even more contemptuously, this Dryad King was hunted by himself, and this person actually wanted to take it by force?

I won't agree to this sword in my hand!!

McGonagall pulled out the wooden sword in its scabbard first, the tip pointed straight at the puppeteer.

Nebula, Juta, and Anne immediately took out their weapons and scattered around the puppeteer Francis.

If Francis retreats, it's fine, and if he doesn't come to his senses, don't blame himself and others for being ruthless.

Nebula first raised a pale blue magic shield, and the mage who was weak in the battle had to protect himself first, otherwise maybe some slightly stronger concussions could cause fatal damage to the mage.

Juta lifted the crossbow in his hand, his left eye closed, and his right eye stared at the puppeteer in front of him. After an inaudible sound of jumping, the bolt was already in the slot of the hunting crossbow, and it was ready to pull the trigger.

Anne swung the hammer in her right hand twice, and the sound of breaking wind was enough to make people shudder. After the lithium ore round shield in his left hand was injected with Dou Qi, a barrier extended from the shield surface, and the scope of defense was obviously expanded a lot.

In the face of the mysterious puppeteer, no one dares to underestimate it. Even McGonagall, who has a somewhat conceited personality, first turned on buffs such as the Holy Armor and the Fire of Wrath.

Battle, on the verge of a touch!!

In the face of the attack of the four Nebulas, the puppeteer Francis playfully held his chin, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned. A contemptuous smile appeared on the corners of Francis's mouth, as if the four adventurers in front of him were all ants that could be killed at will.

Such a blatant contempt, not to mention the arrogant McGonagall, even Anne, whose confidence had just been hit a lot, could not accept it.

Almost at this moment, the four of them were ready to attack, and they all sent out a single attack towards Francis. As if he had been skillfully running in for many years, the tacit attack from all sides completely blocked Francis's retreat, and no matter how powerful he was, he had to eat the combined blow from the four.

There is no means of defense to resist such a combined attack, let alone a level forty adventurer, even a level fifty adventurer will be more or less injured.

And the magician is even more so, even if he is a level one hundred and twenty great mage, it is impossible to resist the combined attack of Nebula and others without a magic shield.

But if it's a puppeteer, it's very different, not to mention that this puppeteer is not an ordinary puppeteer, he is

After a while, the smoke and dust from the explosion of the four people cleared, and Francis was not seriously injured or fell directly as they imagined in the Nebula.

Francis stood still uneventful, not to mention that the combined attack of the four people injured Francis, and even the corners of his clothes were not damaged in the slightest.

Although his body was covered with dust, the dirt was contaminated by his accidental fall to the ground, and it had nothing to do with the attack of Xingyun and the others.

Nebula paused inwardly, staring at Francis and the hollow-eyed brown wooden doll in front of him.

McGonagall and Anne were also like nebula, their eyes became sharper, and they watched Francis's every move very carefully, as long as Francis moved slightly, I believe that McGonagall and Anne would send a thunderous blow to him.

Juta, on the other hand, behaves in stark contrast to Nebula, McGonagall, and Anne, not paying attention to Francis himself, but instead staring up and down the puppet.

"You are" Yuta seemed to see an evil ghost, her right index finger slightly bent at Francis, and she sat on the ground with her legs and feet limp.

When the three of them looked back at Yuta behind them, they were surprised to find that Yuta was in a trance, her cheeks were covered with beads of sweat, and even her collar was soaked.

What exactly did Jutta see? He has always been so arrogant, how can he be scared like this?

"Francis, you're Francis!!" Yuta held back the fear in his heart and said in a trilled voice.

Nebula was speechless for a while, didn't this puppeteer introduce himself and others to himself and others when they first met, why did Yuta be slow and not react until now?

And, is there anything wrong with Francis's mundane name?

How could Yuta be so scared?

Hearing the name Francis, combined with the identity of the puppeteer and Juta's fear, McGonagall and Anne reacted almost the next moment.

"You're the puppet master Francis!!" "Francis !! of the senior cadre of the Black Wings"

McGonagall and Anne exclaimed in shock almost at the same time.

What are Black Wings? I'm sure that none of the adventure residents of the entire adventure world will not be unaware, even if it is located in the most remote places.

Because the Black Wings represent the forces created by the Dark Mage Legion Leader Okar and loyal to the Black Mage.

This power arose decades ago, in the shadowy corners of Edelstein. But by chance, Edelstein was in the midst of internal changes, and with the intervention of Black Wings, the traitorous rebels won the victory.

The Black Wings used Edelstein as a place to resurrect the Black Mage, and they took control of Edelstan's council and took away a large and precious number of magical mines, so it can be said that the whole of Edelstan has fallen into the hands of the Black Mage.

And the puppeteer Francis in front of him is one of the several senior cadres of the Black Wings, you must know that the most basic requirement to become a member of the Black Wings is the strength of level 30 or above.

There are also elites, cadres, senior cadres, and leaders Orka above the ordinary members, so you can think about how strong Francis, as a senior cadre, is.

Nebula They can be said to have poured the mold of N lifetimes, so they will encounter such a powerful enemy in the eastern suburbs of the warrior tribe.

Obviously, if you walk another kilometer or so, you can reach the warrior tribe, and at that time, even if Francis is strong, he will never dare to single-handedly take on the entire tribe, but unfortunately there is no what if.

If nothing else, Nebula's fall is doomed, and in the face of Francis, a high-ranking cadre, Nebula has no power to resist.

After seeing the panic of several people in front of him, Francis laughed hoarsely: "Hahaha~~~ curse!" Curse your miserable fate! ”

Francis's hands moved slightly, and dozens of silk threads filled with magic power drove the puppets in front of him to attack the Nebula and several people
