Chapter 50: The Three Parties (3)
In the face of the girl's accusation, Merlin did not refute, but judging from the appearance of her lowering her head and starting to remix the potion again, she did not take the girl's accusation to heart - looking at Merlin who started to mix the potion again, the girl who was used to the other party doing her own thing just frowned, and lowered her head again to study the map.
From the acquaintance in the sea forest to the journey together, there was not much difficulty - a sudden group of Elkai became the opportunity for the two to join forces against the enemy, and the map made Merlin, who had never left the range of the wizard's hand, make a decision.
As for the girls?
After proving his strength and showing sincerity, according to the thinking habits taught by the teacher, he naturally agreed—of course, the necessary caution must still be there; It was precisely because of this caution that she escaped from several dangers; The danger did not come directly from Merlin, but the indirect relationship was inextricably linked.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the potion in Merlin's hand that began to boil again, and the girl couldn't help but subconsciously shrink her body, leaned forward with her arm, and made an effective protective measure - the source of danger was that the continuous explosion of these potions in the other party's hand would not only attract the dark creatures in the sea forest; After all, the explosion itself has a power that is hard to ignore; In particular, with the addition of an unknown substance, even a small explosion is enough to make the girl's hairs stand on end.
However, fortunately, this time the goddess of luck patronized Merlin, and after a few seconds, the boiling potion gradually returned to calm, and the color became translucent - the girl breathed a sigh of relief, although she had not studied pharmacy systematically, but the basic basis of discernment was still there, at least the witcher's intuition could tell her that the danger was over.
"Someday, I'll be killed by these things of yours" Looking at Merlin, who began to sort out the test tubes and medicine pots, the girl whispered; This time, Merlin did not remain silent any longer - Merlin, who had withdrawn all her mind from the experiment after the potion was dispensed, was finally able to speak, and she reiterated again: "Before the potion was dispensed, I had already placed an effective magic defense array around it, which not only cut off the sound and light from the inside out, but also had a high protection against the explosion generated by the experiment; As long as you deal with it carefully, life will not ......"
"Okay, okay" The same words, the girl who had heard it countless times immediately raised her hands: "In order to be able to travel energetically tomorrow, I want to rest now; There are still three days left and I hope we can continue to have a friendly stay."
"Of course"
Merlin nodded, flicked the bonfire slightly, and then also got into his sleeping bag - with the presence of a vigilant and defensive magic array, the vigil became a dispensable job; Although the girl insisted at first, when she saw the power of Merlin's magic array, she happily gave up this work to Xian; After all, after driving the mountain road for more than ten hours during the day, and then going to vigil with the same vigor and energy, it is not something that a witch hunter who has not yet become a person can do.
Of course, the biggest reason why the girl could sleep peacefully was because she saw a mountain stork inadvertently break into the magic array arranged around it, and it was instantly corroded into a skeleton by the acid gushing out, and quickly melted into a puddle of yellow water; Otherwise, no matter how tired she is, she will not give up the work of vigil; After all, it's about your own life.
Sneer......
Like the sound of cold water pouring into a hot pot, it was particularly harsh in the silent night, and the girl who had just entered a half-sleep state jumped out of her sleeping bag in a fish, and the homemade crossbow and Beretta M1934 automatic pistol appeared in her two hands for the first time, and her eyes looked around vigilantly.
"What's going on?"
The girl, who didn't notice anything, looked at Merlin, who was already holding the staff in her hand - she only had a preliminary understanding of the magic circles arranged around her, and basically had no right to speak; And she was very appreciative of the fact that the problem was referred to the experts.
"Someone has invaded the vigilant magic ......array I have set up around," Merlin, who sensed it with his eyes closed, immediately frowned; After opening his eyes, he said to the girl with a slightly solemn expression: "And I have begun to crack the magic array."
"What level is the other party?" The girl subconsciously asked, but then she reacted and asked in a clearer wording: "Is it higher or lower than you?" ”,
"Taller than me and more than one person"
Merlin's answer clearly made the girl feel stressed; The girl pursed her lips and lowered her head and thought anxiously - although the girl didn't know what stage Merlin's strength was in the dark wizard, it was certain that the other party was not weaker than her, and coupled with the dark wizard's weird and endless magic, the girl thought that she didn't have a 100% chance of winning against the other party; And now the "late-night visitor" who has no clear meaning and no friend or foe is not only superior to the other party, but also plural, which makes the girl decide in an instant.
"We'll retreat right away," the girl asked Merlin, "Probably not all around, right?" ”
"No," Merlin replied affirmatively, "he followed us in his tracks, and at first accidentally touched my vigilant eye; Therefore, there is no enemy in front of us...... You're ready to ......"
After saying that, Merlin was ready to leave immediately - after comparing the strength of the two sides, and as a dark wizard, she knew better than the girl that fighting hard was not a wise choice at all; But seeing the girl's behavior of squatting down and constantly groping made her stunned.
The "trap" girl explains her actions: "Some very simple traps; It's not very powerful, but it's enough to hinder the annoying 'visitors' behind it, and of course, I'll be even happier if I can make them suspicious for the rest of the journey."
……
Having achieved his goal, Ye Qi, who had changed back into his own outfit, returned to the secret room of Oprah Light - there was no change from the scene of leaving more than ten hours ago, and after the inspection, Ye Qi sat in the chair with peace of mind, and slightly closed his eyes thinking about the changes that would occur in Dude in a few days or a day, or even a few hours......
