Chapter 21
Seeing that the centipede was completely dead, Horn conveniently cast a ring of water magic water flow to extinguish the remaining flames around.
Although this is the southern area of Lien City, it has been slightly separated from the main urban area of Lien City, and there are not many people living there. Normally, people from the church would not be encountered.
But Horn can't let the flames burn indiscriminately, otherwise the fire will easily attract the attention of the church. The church can distinguish the flames ignited naturally from the flames ignited by extraordinary power. If Enoch's room is exposed because of this It's not worth the candle.
Horn didn't pay much attention to this centipede, he only regarded it as a ring of monsters wandering in the wild. Although this kind of thing is not common, it is still possible to happen, and he didn't connect it with the old man he met just now. The two just met by chance, and in Horn's view, the old man had no reason to attack him.
A little accident on the way did not delay Horn's time too much. He still arrived at the place where Anne lived, Enoch's original home, within the agreed time.
Horn didn't wait to enter the door, but found that something was wrong, because the door was open, and the safety sign agreed with Annie was not displayed!
Horn hastily dispersed his mental power and probed into the house. Annie was no longer inside. Did she run out by herself or did some accident happen?
He hurried into the house, seeing a mess. The clean and tidy house that Annie had tidied up now turned into ruins.
There are a few obvious signs of destruction in the room. Judging from the strength, it should be caused by the monster Annie summoned, but there are not only such marks, but more marks all have a trace of light green slime and a strong fishy smell!
This smell...is the same as the fishy smell on the old man before!
Then, the sack just now contained Annie!
Horn slapped himself suddenly, why didn't he notice it just now?
Why did you let the old man go away so easily just now?
After thinking about it for a while, Horn decided to save Annie. Although the breath of the old man was disgusting, Horn was not a vegetarian either!
It's just a small border town, a place that even the slightly famous bounty hunters don't want to come to. Even the deacons in white clothes in this city are not Horn's opponents. The old man he meets on the road must be a strong enemy that he can't deal with. ?
Defeating the white-clothed deacon and easily killing the second-tier black-clothed deacon made Horn feel a little swollen. In his heart, apart from the priest of Lane City and Ilya who came for the teacher, he was in Lane City. No need to be afraid of anyone!
If nothing else, that's true.
After thinking about it, Horn chased after the trace left by the old man. The two of them hadn't been separated for a long time. The old man was still carrying Anne on his back. Those with old arms and legs shouldn't be able to run far, and the old man didn't understand at all. To cover up the energy fluctuations on his body, Horn would basically be right as long as he followed the feeling of disgust.
However, the old man's footsteps were beyond Horn's expectation. When he caught up with the old man, he had already completely left the range of Lane City, and came to a dense forest outside Lane City.
By the way, the southern part of Len City has no city walls, not only the southern part, but also the western and northern parts, because these three sides are backed by mountains, and there are dense forests between the urban area and the cliffs.
The powerful wild beasts and monsters in the woods have been wiped out by the church long ago, and they will not pose a threat to the civilians in Len City. A first-level monster like the centipede before is already the limit.
It is impossible for an enemy with insufficient strength to cross the towering mountains and attack from those three directions, and the enemy's mere city walls that can attack from those three directions are meaningless.
After Horn caught up with the old man, he didn't act rashly. The distance between Annie and the old man is too close now. If he wants to have an effect on the old man, Horn is not sure that the magic he masters, whether it is fire or thunder, will not hurt at all. to Annie.
So he slowly followed behind the old man, waiting for the moment when the old man and Annie separated.
As for why he didn't jump in front of the old man and yell to let him go quickly...
Horn is not stupid. Not to mention that he may not be able to save Annie, and he may also catch himself. Besides, he is hiding in the dark now, and he may have a chance to rescue Annie after a while. Why do he have to go out? How about a fight with that old man?
He is not a warrior with a brain full of muscles. As long as he can achieve his goal, it is better not to fight or not to fight.
The old man was walking in front of Annie with his back on his back, and he stopped suddenly. He dug his teeth with his fingers in doubt. Why hasn't the bug he let out to kill the man in black come back? It seems that something happened.
But accidents are accidents, both the bug and the man in black are just small characters, not worth his troubles.
The old man paused and looked around, then nodded lightly. The place is dark and quiet, with lush forests that can't be seen as far as the eye can see, and there is no human habitation. It is a good place to do some shady things.
He put the sack on his shoulders on the ground, then let Annie out of the sack, found a tree as thick as a human head, and tied Annie to it.
After finishing his work, the old man stretched out his hand to Anne's face, a pink fleshy worm crawled out of the old man's sleeve, and then crawled onto her face.
The worm swayed around Annie's nose for a while, and sprayed a pink gas into Annie's nasal cavity. The gas entered Annie's nasal cavity, and Annie woke up faintly in just a moment.
Annie woke up and saw the old man's ugly face and the wriggling worms as soon as she opened her eyes, she'wow! ’ and burst into tears.
I think she stayed obediently in the clean house she had just tidied up, practiced the meditation method Horn taught her, and worked very hard without being lazy.
While meditating, she could intuitively feel that her spiritual power and magic power were slowly improving, which was very attractive to a new mage like her, but when she was practicing well, the old man in front of her directly broke into Come in!
Annie quickly summoned two mobs to resist the old man. Although the mobs she summoned were not under her control, they would not attack themselves when facing the enemy. Isn't this equivalent to helping her fight? ?
It's a pity that the two mobs she summoned were directly killed by the bugs that came out of nowhere. Although these mobs looked bluffing, they were useless when facing the strong. The old man didn't even look at the two monsters directly. The monsters summoned by Anne can be easily created countless if the old man wants to!
Then the old man threw a pink meat worm on Annie's head, and before she could scream, the meat worm released a burst of unpleasant gas. After smelling it, Annie fainted without any resistance. When she woke up again , she was already tied to a tree, facing this hideous old face!
The old man confirmed that Annie was awake, and said to Annie with a grinning mouth:
The Insect Demon God said that you are suitable to be his wizard. The old man searched for several days before he found you. I really don't know what the Insect Demon should care about about you.
Annie turned her head away from looking at the old man.
Let's just ask you, little girl, would you like to become a wizard? The old man asked Annie with a smile.
Fuck you, I don't want to. Annie chased her head and spat in the old man's face and said bitterly.
Don't want to? It doesn't matter if you don't want to, I don't care if you want to or not, as long as you get what the Demon God promised to give to this old man.
The old man wiped Annie's saliva calmly. He had the ability to block the saliva, but he didn't.
He wasn't dissatisfied with Annie's disrespect, because he didn't bother to argue with Annie about such a trivial matter. He just needed to fulfill the requirements of the Insect Demon God. Whether Annie was willing was out of his consideration. explain……
It is not up to this person to decide whether to become a wizard or not!
