Hunting for wizards... The sound of boots stepping on wooden boards in the corridor interrupted Arthur's thoughts. George took out a piece of paper made of extraordinary material from his arms and handed it to Livlan, gesturing for her to deal with the law enforcement team.
question, and at the same time handed the bullet to Livlan and asked her to take it to the law enforcement team to see as much as possible about the identities of the three men. She sat next to Arthur and looked at him solemnly:
"There are no outsiders. Tell me, what did you encounter at the Brighton City Horse Training Farm? I never asked, but now I think you must have encountered something. The wood wizard, right? You suddenly improved because he was
Well. I speculate that these people may not be targeting us." George had actually summarized what happened at the horse training farm and had his own speculation.
Arthur didn't want to tell George about Randall. Randall's appearance was completely unexpected, and Randall regarded Parrish as hostile. So if George, who had had a relationship with Parrish, learned about Randall,
Arthur couldn't imagine what would happen in his presence.
Arthur and George looked at each other deeply, unwilling to let George continue to ask. George also understood what his brother meant, crossed his hands and continued to think.
Then this is also a possibility. These three mysterious figures did not sense his aura and followed him from Brighton City to Rye Castle, but they sensed the elemental residue left by Randall from the three of them.
, this is also when Arthur noticed the three of them. They were using card games to cover up something to delay time. It was most likely that they were using a special method to find out who was the wooden one among George, Arthur and Livlan.
A wizard.
Hunting for wizards. Arthur once again silently recited the conjecture proposed by George in his mind. With the vigorous development of the mechanical industry, wizards in today's era, except for a very small number of living beings, most living beings avoid wizards.
Or dislike and despise them. For creatures different from themselves, whether they are humans, elves, goblins or orcs, their first impression is definitely one of defense and resistance.
This is the worst time for wizards. Even Parrish, who is so powerful that he can directly transform himself into a water element, has to hide all the time.
After Arthur sighed, there was only silence in the room. It was not until Livlan returned to the room that Arthur and George looked up at her, waiting for the information she brought back.
Livlan's face was not good-looking. She pulled the only sofa in the room in front of the two of them and said slowly: "I showed my identity as a member of the military region, and the law enforcement team told me what they searched tonight. They were
After Arthur was attracted by the loud noise he made, he happened to see a man decorated by gangsters in the alley behind, but soon the man escaped their pursuit. This is a story later about the man who knocked on the door in front of our room.
'Him', in fact only Arthur and I noticed it. Not only did no one hear the knock on the door, but even the previous tenant standing outside the house didn't notice the presence of any 'person' at our end."
"What do you mean? No one heard the knock on the door you said before. Is it related to the wizard?" George looked at Arthur.
Arthur happens to know about this matter. The mirror world shown by Parrish and the field shown by Randall are both suitable for what just happened. "If no one notices it at all, it may be related to the field."
"
"Field? Do you know it?" George's eyes lit up. If Arthur could master such a skill, they would have many convenient ways to do things.
"If I could, would Captain Brickington and Docmundo be sacrificed so easily?" Arthur expressed his helplessness in the form of a rhetorical question. Livran shook her palms in front of the two of them, "The two of them said
, I haven’t finished speaking yet. After I showed them the bullets, the law enforcement team had a rough guess about their identities. After the armistice in Sunset Town, a small organization formed by a group of outsiders appeared. They have capabilities that our army does not have.
Mechanical technology, and contact with law enforcement teams, they call themselves witch hunters."
"From the name, it sounds like there is no connection with the men in black robes. Is it a new organization? I have never heard of them before." George scratched his head. He had too many things to analyze this night, and he lost a lot of hair.
.
"And their target before this was not us," Arthur took over, and the sudden contact with Randall made him realize, "They should be tracking down the person who had contacted me at the horse training farm before.
The wood wizard came, and I can't tell you more details. In short, I suspect that the wizard left elemental residues on us and hid himself."
"Elemental residue, can this kind of thing disappear?" George asked the key. After seeing Arthur's hideous wounds, he didn't think it would be easy for the three of him to deal with the witch hunter. It would be a better choice to hide himself.
.
"I don't know. I can only tell you that it will disappear based on my own feelings. However, the seven-note scale I used before to protect myself probably made them remember my elemental power. If the organization is called Witch Hunters,
, I don’t believe they have no way of marking my presence.”
George and Livlan were still secretly happy after hearing the first half of the sentence, but then Arthur's words made them fall into the ice cave. As members of the reconnaissance team, George and Livlan knew very well what methods the trackers had to hunt down their prey.
This little bit of elemental residue left by the wood wizard was enough for these witch hunters to pursue the three of them to Castle Rye. So what level of pursuit would Arthur receive for using witchcraft in front of them?
Just imagine.
Arthur's body had stopped bleeding and his complexion had recovered. He looked at George and Livlan and showed full apology.
Arthur should have been the only one who originally came to the Houston family. If George came here entirely because of family friendship, then Livlan came here and endured such a degree of danger only because of George's order.
George slapped Arthur on the back like a bear, causing Arthur to cough and the wound almost burst again.
"Arthur, tonight we will still take turns to watch the night as before on the ship. Livlan will come to the first shift first. It is now two o'clock in the morning. We will change shifts every two hours to ensure our mental state. Also, Livlan and I
They all come willingly, don’t have any psychological burden. Livlan is here just to repay your kindness for fighting to break out of the siege at the gate of the empty house in Nozil City." Livlan agreed with George's words and shook hands with a smile.
Holding Arthur's hand, he said, "Yes, Arthur, don't worry too much. You lost too much blood twice today. I don't think even the wizard's body can withstand such torture. Don't worry, leave the first shift to me."
"
Arthur had no expression to face Livlan's tenderness, so he lay peacefully on the bed and gradually closed his tired eyes. After seeing Arthur fall asleep, George put away his relaxed expression, whispered a few words to Livlan, and opened the door alone.
He left the room door. He had some matters that needed to be handled by the law enforcement team.
...
When the sunlight outside the window was able to shine on Arthur, Arthur woke up from a deep sleep. He looked at the unfamiliar places around him blankly. He couldn't remember where he was for a moment. The door to the room opened and he held a croissant.
George walked in and threw the intact bread in his hand to Arthur.
"My God, you can sleep really well. When I asked you to wake up in the middle of the night, you slept like a dead pig." George sat down on the stained white bed. In fact, he didn't call Arthur last night.
It was just to let Arthur rest peacefully. He had seen with his own eyes the amount of bleeding that was enough to kill him, and wanted to let Arthur have a good rest.
"Sorry, nothing happened last night."
"If you are talking about witch hunters, it is useless. But we have to prepare to leave. Thanks to their wartime investigation capabilities, the law enforcement team found dozens of outsiders entering Fort Rye this morning.
We have to be prepared to be full of witch hunters. Livlan has gone to fetch the horses. We can't live here anymore. But there is one 'thing' we have to see first." George threw a clean clothes to Ya
se.
Arthur put on his plaid shirt and muttered, "I'm ready. I don't think the witch hunter can easily deal with me."
"It's...us." George stuffed a large piece of bread into Arthur's mouth.
