Jared slapped his cheeks, trying to clear his head.
One night he stood where the man stood and realized that the only things visible from that spot were the windows of the den and the bedroom below. And Kelly was the one who appeared in them most often. Although Jared wasn't interested in spying from a distance, as long as he was spying, he didn't care if the other person was undressing or dressing or ... bathing.
The angle of the man's eyes, the direction of his gaze, must have been on Kelly. Because besides Kelly, Jared hadn't seen anyone else there, not even Caroline and Tawana, who were supposed to be protecting her, were in that place. He wanted to contact Caroline, but there were no cell phones in this world, and Caroline's mind communication could only be used in one direction, so if she didn't contact him, Jared wouldn't have known why Kylie was so interested in those two rooms.
But there's no point in thinking about it now.
He looked at the dark night sky, it was just before dawn, the earth was dark, even the crystal light from the room seemed to be dimming. Jared glanced at the bedroom window, which was covered by heavy curtains, and then braced himself to leave. The tension in his heart had not diminished at all, for he knew that in a few hours, if Kura was not found, there was no telling what would become of them. So Jared sighed, and decided to bury the question in the back of his mind for the time being, and think about it after he found Kura.
The air is moving.
For normal people, it's a subtle sensation. Everyone can feel different things. They can sense the wind, the smell, the sound, the vibration of the earth. That's how they can tell if someone's approaching. But Jared's senses were higher than theirs, in his eyes, everything in front of him was a formula made up of complete light formulas, but now, in this formula, there was suddenly a new formula X. Although he didn't make any sound, nor any light, and even the person was as light as a cat, he didn't cause any vibrations on the ground, but he "himself" did. But he had already disturbed and reassembled the structure of the light "by himself", and Jared understood immediately.
Someone's coming.
He immediately disappeared.
He knew very well that this guy was going to be tough to deal with. Because if Jared's light ability wasn't so scary and weird, then he wouldn't have been able to detect that someone was coming this way. But Jared wasn't worried, it would be a shame if this guy was only good at stealth, he could hide smells, sounds and even vibrations, but he couldn't deflect the light like Jared could. On the other hand, as long as he wasn't transparent, then even the strongest disguise wouldn't mean a thing to Jared.
He stood patiently, and after a few moments of waiting, a man appeared at Jared's side as if melting and condensing out of the darkness.
Jared was slightly surprised. He had never thought that a person could actually melt himself into the darkness like this. It seems that this is also a gifted warrior, Kylie once said that if there are any warriors who see the use of magic-like abilities, then they must be gifted warriors. Because although their ability is single, but it is the mind, do not need to recite any incantation. But this singularity obviously also limited their development, so even if the gifted warriors are more powerful than ordinary warriors, but in the face of wizards, but still not much can be done.
To this day, Jared and Caroline are still unable to understand the workings of magic, and Kylie has left them with a headache after giving them a refresher course. Jared and Caroline still couldn't understand how magic worked, and Kelly had left with a headache after giving them a tutorial, because they couldn't feel any of the so-called magical spirits, and they couldn't imagine why they were helping them. But Kelly and the others couldn't understand how science worked either, and Jared thought that even if they were given a car to look at, they wouldn't be able to understand how lightning or black water could be used as a source of energy to power a car. Nor how an equation of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, squaring and cubing could be used to calculate the orbits of stars.
As the saying goes, "Different ways don't make a difference.
It doesn't matter if you don't know how it works, as long as you know what it does.
That's what Jared and Caroline, dizzy with magical theories, eventually came to realize in unison.
Anyway, magic ... is just the stuff of fantasy novels ...
So at the strange appearance of this person, Jared immediately judged that he should also be a gifted warrior with magic-like abilities.
The man was dressed in black leather armor, and even his face was covered with a black cloth, as if he was blending into the darkness. If one were to look from a distance, it would be impossible to see anyone here. But, after all, his darkness and the blackness of nature were completely different things, even if they were similar, as long as they weren't the same, they were meaningless in front of Jared's eyes.
The man stood quietly in the position where Jared had just fought, as if he was reminiscing about the pre-dawn darkness just as Jared had been, then he reached down and took the bow off his back, then slowly drew a long arrow with a dark red glow from the quiver behind him, and then he slowly crouched downward while aiming his bow at Kylie's room ...
Then, suddenly, he felt a cold foreign object stabbing him in the throat. It startled him.
How can that be? He didn't notice any wind noise around him, and there was nothing on the ground ...!!!!
Qingkong's double blades pierced his throat without mercy, then reversed and picked up, the man's head had been completely cut off, he didn't even let out a miserable cry, he lost his life in this way.
Jared manifested himself and took a long stretch.
He did not attack, in fact, Jared did, only kneeling next to, and then summoned the green sky on the edge of the highland cliff, waiting for the man himself to hit on it. Because Jared is very clear, what kind of place is the most suitable sniper place, although he does not know this distance a bow can do, after all, which is not a cannon sniper rifle, but he can not take the risk. After all, this is a person does not take the airplane can also fly to the sky of the ghost place. But he just found this place, and someone came to assassinate Kelly - this is also too much of a coincidence.
So if you take away the invisibility, the scene is actually quite comical - the man slowly crouching down to keep his balance while keeping a wary eye on his target. Jared was standing right next to him, carefully maneuvering the blade of his longsword to make sure that he hit it head-on. It was no wonder he hadn't caught wind of the situation, it was as if a man had taken the initiative to die, so who was to blame?
Jared pulled off the black cloth on the man's head, and in his eyes was a face he had never seen before, not the middle-aged man Jared had recreated with his phantom image. He frowned, thought carefully, and then helplessly shrugged his shoulders. Walked to the side and picked up the body of the dark red arrow, look left and right after a look, Jared very helpless hands up, he did not see what this thing is actually doing, but he does not know ... does not mean that others do not know.
"Never mind, we'll talk about this later, what's important now is not this boring thing."
The sunlight pierced through a sliver of darkness, and Jared subconsciously shifted his gaze in the direction of the Forest of the Undead.
It's coming down to the wire.
Caroline hadn't contacted herself, so that meant nothing had happened, and for safety's sake, Jared had asked the three of them to stay in their rooms and not go out. Kylie seemed to be very much at odds with Yulian, and it seemed that she had already finished her higher courses in the art of elven magic, so it didn't really matter if she went to the Tower of the Five Flags or not. Tawana, on the other hand, hadn't chosen her own course of study yet, so she stayed behind and let Kylie teach her some advanced knowledge about magic. But in truth, both Jared and Caroline felt helpless to involve Tavana in such a matter. Florence had wanted Tawana to live a happy and peaceful life, but who knew things would turn out this way? If they had known, it would have been better for them to leave Tawana.
It's just a matter of getting it over with and getting back to normal life.
Although, Jared thought, it was slowly becoming their delusion.
Clueless, Jared had no choice but to come to the door of the Tower of Darkness once again, and with a frown, he gently pushed open the door. This time he didn't let anyone else follow him, maybe Caroline didn't notice, but Jared remembered that Kura had asked "Who are these two people?..." after meeting Tawana and Kylie, which meant that Kura didn't know Kylie and Tawana beforehand. and Tawana. He didn't know what would happen if he changed the past without authorization, so Jared decided to be cautious, so he didn't let them come with him to the Tower of Darkness this time.
But ...
"I'm sorry, Mr. Jared. Lord Berukelin has not returned."
One of the Skeleton Sisters apologized and delivered the disappointing news to Jared, who had thought that he would finally meet Kura this time, but had come up empty handed.
There is no time, even if he can tell Kura the specific location, but according to Kelly's statement, the Forest of the Undead is so big, want to find their location will certainly take time, and this is not counting Kura then there are eight or nine no matter what time can sleep over the terrible magic skills ...
Jared thinks his head's spinning.
He finally realized that even if he found Kura, it wouldn't be that easy, or at least, how to get Kura to find them "sober" would be a life-threatening issue for Jared.
"What the hell do we do? We have to find Kula, if we don't then we ..."
Jared frowned as he walked aimlessly through the academy, carefully hiding himself in the shadows from anyone who cared to notice. But when he circled around and reluctantly returned to the Tower of Darkness again, he finally let out a long sigh of relief.
A doll-like girl, sleeping against the door.
"Kula!!!"
Jared rushed over and grabbed Kula by the shoulders. Shaking her violently, he forcibly woke Kura from her dream. She opened her eyes in a daze, then rubbed them, staring at Jared in surprise.
"Woo meow? If it isn't Brother Jared! What are you doing here ...?"
"There's no time! I need your help!"
"Help?"
"Kura, you can use time-traveling chanting magic, right?!"
Though Jared's question was soft, Kura's expression changed slightly.
"How do you know, brother Jared? That's a secret no one knows?"
The voice was still lazy, but it contained a murderous intent that even Jared couldn't help but tremble for a moment.
"I know this from you."
He said in a deep voice, but Kula's half-closed eyes didn't open or close, they just stared at Jared in that quiet way.
"... Listen, Kula, I know this is an unreasonable request. But I want you to help us. I need you to go to the Forest of the Dead now ..."
"What happened there yo."
Suddenly, Kura interrupted Jared as she tilted her head and said with the same lazy expression.
"Did Kula feel it? Yesterday evening, there was a big change in the Forest of the Dead? Kula wants to know what happened? That's why Kula came back to ... Jared brother know?"
"..."
Jared was silent for a few moments before he finally made his decision.
"I know."
He nods.
"I'm well aware of what's going on there ... so I'm hoping you can help."
"In that case ... yo? What does brother Jared want me to do?"
Kura reached out and pulled Jared's shirt with one soft little hand, the other still clinging to her doll.
"This thing sounds a bit unbelievable, but after you see it, you will realize that everything I say is the truth ... I want you to go to the Forest of the Undead, which is now no longer that parched land. There you will find a meadow and a ruined castle with me ... and Caroline in it."
"Woo meow?"
Kura cocked her head in confusion .
"Isn't Brother Jared here?"
"I'll explain it all to you when you get back."
Jared laughed bitterly, then said.
"If you did meet them, then you believe me. Then I ask you to use time jump magic on them and send those people back to the moment two days ago when the magic teleportation failed. There's no time now! Whatever you want to know! When you return, I will tell you without reservation!!!"
Kula stares at Jared, silent for a moment.
Then, she nodded slightly.
"I don't know what it's about, but since it looks like fun, Kura said yes, right? Is there anything else?"
"... If that I can perceive, nay, he will perceive who sent you to them, and when that time comes, I wish you would take a few words to him."
"What's the word?"
"..."
Jared laughed bitterly, this decision was not easy to make, Kura since he could feel the change there, then he had to explain it clearly, but then, the lives of himself and others ... Is this really the right thing to do?
"Abandon that boring thought and resign yourself to your fate."
Finally, Jared spoke up.
"Also, when we get back, there might be a bit of trouble, so take care of it."
