Because Scolett and his team wanted to attack the nearby Dark Forest Wizard Seed Team, the entire team's progress was slowed down and they moved forward very slowly.
Maureen had seen Scolett return to the carriage with a gloomy face many times. From time to time, other wizard apprentices would come to find Scolett, and they seemed to be discussing something in secret.
Influenced by this, Scolett did not teach Maureen and the others how to think, but just let them learn by themselves.
Accompany you in the evening.
The sun sets and the rays of light shine down.
Maureen and Richard sat by the river, roasting a wild deer they had caught.
"Molin, I never thought that you are not only good at swordsmanship, but also good at archery." Richard exclaimed in amazement, "At that time, I thought the deer would definitely run away, but I didn't expect you to suddenly make a move and shoot it dead with one arrow. Oh, my poor deer."
As Richard spoke, a pitiful look appeared on his face, but his hands did not stop moving. He cut a piece of venison with a knife and put it in his mouth, chewing it non-stop.
Maureen smiled and said nothing.
With the help of the chip, Morin had a rough understanding of the archery techniques and some precautions, and his archery skills had reached an extremely high level. Maybe he couldn't hit the target 100%, but it was not difficult to hit the target eight out of ten arrows.
"By the way, Master Scolett and his team have been looking for the wizard seed team in the Dark Forest. They haven't come back yet." Morin seemed to have thought of something and looked at Scolett's carriage.
"Yeah, it's been almost a day. I really don't know why Master Scolett and the others keep chasing us. The hatred between them and those black robes is too great."
Richard kept talking, and the fat from the venison flowed from the corners of his mouth.
Maureen couldn't help but frown.
But he lowered his brows and quickly withdrew his thoughts.
Next to Morin, there was a cross sword with a faint and strange luster. Morin had coated the blade of the cross sword and the hidden arrows and crossbows with poison, not for any other reason but just to be on the safe side. After all, the black-robed boy who died that day and was injured by him had sounded a wake-up call for him.
The sky was silent, the bonfire was burning, and the wood made slight crackling sounds from time to time.
Maureen and Richard were talking, and when Richard mentioned Luna, he immediately became very excited. Maureen also talked about some things with other people she knew, but, coincidentally, they did not mention Aaron.
Aaron had been staying in the carriage these past few days, meditating like crazy. Neither Maureen nor Richard knew what to say about this.
"Okay, let's go back." Morin stood up.
But at this moment, suddenly, a feeling of extreme danger suddenly struck his heart, making him feel cold.
"Warning! Warning! There is..."
The cold, mechanical electronic sound of the chip suddenly rang out.
Morin didn't have time to listen carefully to the sound of the chip, and his body subconsciously moved to the side.
call out!
The arrow turned into a black shadow and shot out from the distant woods in an instant, brushing against Morin's shoulder and disappearing into the depths of the night sky.
Morin's head was covered in cold sweat. If he had reacted a little slower, the arrow would have shot directly into his heart instead of disappearing by brushing his shoulder.
"Richard!"
Suddenly, Maureen shouted.
Richard subconsciously raised his head and saw Morin's cross sword turned into a silver light and slashed towards him.
Click.
The arrow broke and fell to the ground helplessly.
Richard looked at the sharp cross sword that was so close to him, and saw the broken arrow on the ground out of the corner of his eye. He swallowed his saliva subconsciously.
"Mo...Mo Lin...Thank you, thank you." Richard's forehead was covered with cold sweat. If Mo Lin hadn't suddenly taken action just now, he would have become a corpse.
"fine."
Morin retracted the cross sword and shook his head.
Then more arrows were shot out, but they were all dodged by Maureen and Richard who were prepared.
However, not every wizard seed could react. After a moment, screams were heard all around.
"ah!"
"Help!"
"This is..."
Maureen and Richard hid behind a carriage. Richard looked at the arrows flying past and the screams that could be heard from time to time, and felt a little panicked.
Morin narrowed his eyes, then curled his lips and said, "It's the wizard seed from the Dark Forest."
"People from the Dark Forest? Didn't Master Scolett and the others go looking for them? How could this happen?" Richard was a little surprised and confused.
Maureen shook her head and said nothing.
Suddenly, a roar was heard.
"You black-robed brats from the Dark Forest, how dare you show up? Well, you are courting death!"
This was a third-class wizard apprentice who stayed behind. Scolett and his men did not send out all of them, but left behind one wizard apprentice for protection.
Just when the remaining wizard apprentice appeared, another sharp voice suddenly rang out, saying, "Hey, Byleth, what, have you forgotten me?"
"Emily, you old woman, you're here too! Damn it, Derrick isn't the only one here!"
Byleth, who stayed behind, let out a loud roar of shock and anger.
Immediately, Maureen felt a powerful wizard energy coming over, and a rumbling sound came from the woods in the distance. It was obvious that Byret and Emily were fighting.
"Richard, the people in the Dark Forest had a plan. Some people were responsible for luring Master Scolett and his men away, while the others took action to entangle Byleth." Morin said with some emotion, "I'm afraid, next, we will have to fight."
"Maureen, what do you mean?" Richard was stunned.
Morin raised his lips and said, "It's very simple. Master Scolett said that they attacked the people of the Dark Forest, and now they will definitely retaliate. After all, killing all the wizard seeds and leaving the Blue Ring and Hard Castle without new blood is a good thing, isn't it? The wizard seeds of the Black Wizard Organization are really stronger than us in combat power. It's not difficult to achieve this in a sneak attack."
"The wizard seeds of the Dark Forest have arrived."
As he spoke, Morin slowly picked up the cross sword.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Black figures flashed one after another and ran towards this side quickly.
While running, they kept shooting arrows, and when they got close, they drew out their cross swords or daggers and slashed forward heavily.
"Richard, be careful!"
Morin shouted, and the cross sword in his hand flashed, as if a silver light was pouring down, and with a whoosh, he stabbed forward fiercely.
A black-robed seed just jumped out of the air, but before he could do anything, he was pierced through the neck by a cross sword in mid-air.
boom!
Another black-robed seed rushed over quickly, raising the dagger in his hand, sharp and silent, as if walking in the shadows, and slashed viciously towards Morin's throat.
The cross sword in Morin's hand was strangely raised up and blocked in front of him. The friction with the dagger made a harsh sound and a burst of sparks. Before the black robe seed could react, Morin's body suddenly rushed forward and slammed into the black robe seed, knocking the black robe seed's body crooked.
A look of shock appeared on the black robe seed's face, which soon turned into a hideous smile, but his body immediately froze.
Half of the silver sword tip with a strange luster protruded from his neck and took his life.
Morin retracted the cross sword, without even looking at the two bodies lying on the ground, he immediately turned around and ran towards another remote place.
He had no interest in staying here and fighting these black robe seeds.
Edge of the forest.
Two figures were fighting quickly.
Morin moved his hand, and the cross sword in his hand immediately emitted a silver light, like a flash of starlight, and suddenly stabbed forward.
Ding ding dong!
The black-robed seed on the opposite side did not have a left hand, but an iron hook. As soon as he moved his arm, the iron hook immediately hooked forward with a whoosh and swept away Morin's cross sword.
However, before he could do anything, he suddenly heard a low sound of breaking through the air.
While the black-robed man was swinging the cross sword away, Morin stepped aside and pressed the crossbow hidden in his sleeve.
Immediately, the crossbow arrow flew out.
The black robe seed groaned and immediately fell softly to the ground.
The wound on the corpse's neck was slightly blue, and it was obvious that the person was poisoned by the strange poison coated on Morin's crossbow.
"I don't know what happened to Richard." Morin picked up the cross sword on the ground and thought silently in his heart.
Originally, he wanted to avoid the attack of the black robe seeds with Richard, but unexpectedly, the attack of the black robe seeds was too fierce, and Maureen and Richard had been separated without knowing it.
After continuous pursuit and advancement, Morin has reached the center of the forest, which is a long distance away from the camping place.
"I hope Richard is okay." Morin sighed, and he began to search the black robe seed. As for the things on the black robe seed, Morin only took away the most valuable ones and threw away the rest.
Morin planned to go back and stay nearby waiting for the attack of the black robe seeds to end. After all, it was relatively safe there and there was not much danger for him to stay there. And it was not good to go too far away. If he encountered a few black robe seeds, it would be very troublesome for him to deal with them.
However, not long after he left, he was suddenly stunned.
In the open space ahead, an old man with white hair and beard was coughing up blood and was leaning against the trunk of a big tree to rest.
At the most critical moment, the old man was wearing a black robe.
The wizard's apprentice in black robe!
"Damn it!" Mo Lin cursed in his heart, turned around and ran without thinking.
"I didn't expect to meet a little guy." The black-robed wizard apprentice did not open his eyes, as if he did not see Morin, but his voice came over strangely.
Suddenly, Maureen felt a creepy feeling coming over him.
Without thinking, he subconsciously jumped to the right.
boom!
A scorching fireball suddenly rushed over, knocked a big tree to the ground and burned fiercely. Just now, the scorching fireball almost hit Morin.
Morin caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Then several more fireballs flew over, but at this time Morin was so nervous that he managed to barely dodge them.
Suddenly, Morin stopped.
He turned around and looked straight at the black-robed wizard apprentice lying on the ground with his eyes closed.
"Why, little guy, why don't you run away?" The voice of the black-robed wizard apprentice came over.
"My dear sir, it looks like you have been hit hard and have no strength to resist." Morin suddenly laughed and said, "I don't think I can avoid the witchcraft cast by a wizard apprentice, unless... you are really weak."
"I was too weak to stand up, and I could barely release my magic. I couldn't even do the most basic control."
"Moreover, I have calculated the time secretly. The intervals between your magic casting are getting longer and longer. Recently, you have even stopped casting magic... Dear Sir, are you still able to cast magic?"
The black-robed wizard apprentice remained silent.
After a moment, his voice came over, saying: "Interesting little guy, listen, I can give you a benefit, you...ah!"
call out!
The arrow turned into a black shadow and instantly pierced through the chest of the black-robed wizard apprentice, nailing him to the tree trunk.
"I understand what you mean, but I am not willing to cooperate with someone stronger than me, sir." Morin smiled and said, "After all, you are a wizard apprentice, and I am just a wizard seed, right?"
He turned around and slowly backed away until he was a certain distance away. Then he slowly turned around and looked at the black-robed wizard apprentice again.
Morin was very satisfied with this distance. At this distance, his bow and arrow were still the most powerful. However, because they were far apart, even if the black-robed wizard apprentice had any backup plan, he would have enough time to react.
"Your Excellency..."
Morin slowly took out the bow and arrow, slowly pulled the bow into a full moon, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Let's continue."
call out!
The arrow instantly cut through the sky.
