Mei and Ye Zi stood at the window of the room on the third floor and looked out.
"A group of assassins has been eliminated. That dog is indeed extraordinary, hiding the soul of a powerful magician. You should know this, right?"
"I... know. Xiao Chen told me."
"Although Xiao Chen told me that the dog could be used as a fighting force, her abilities exceeded my expectations. Who was she originally? She seemed to be a master of mental magic?"
"I don't know about this either."
"Next time when you lie, look the other person directly in the face and don't avoid looking." Mei said with a smile.
Being exposed directly by the other party, Ye Zi felt a little embarrassed. She said, "Actually, I don't know the details, so it's not my place to tell you."
Mei pursed her lips and said, "There are many people here who have secrets. I think Xiao Chen himself is also very mysterious and interesting."
Ye Zi didn't want to dwell on this topic, so he asked, "Mei, I've also seen the groups you divided today. Don't you think some of the teams are too weak?"
"Are they really weak, or do you just not see their potential?" Mei put her hands on the windowsill. "This is a very cruel world. You alone, or just the two of us, can only do so much. I hope they can be your helpers, not your burdens. So they also need opportunities to learn and grow, to keep up with you. Don't you want them to become stronger with you?"
"Of course, but... this may not be their wish."
"Does the will of the weak matter? If they don't want to, let them become stronger and then come back to me." Mei narrowed her eyes when she said this. She sensed the spiritual marks she left on each group. "Two more groups have encountered enemies. Li Jia's group can handle it by themselves. Tang Feng's group needs your help. It's your turn."
There are three people in Tang Feng's group, namely Hart, Nina and Tang Feng.
The place they were guarding was a terrace on the second floor.
"I still don't understand why Miss May put the three of us into a group." Hart said. He has been following Roger since he came out of the slave camp and is now the backbone of the office's security force.
He had just broken through to the intermediate level, but was already the one with the highest level among this group of people. His two partners were just ordinary people.
If Tang Feng from the intelligence team still has weapons to rely on, then Serinda's maid Nina does not seem to be a suitable candidate.
If the enemy only needs a mid-level peak warrior, he can deal with the three of us, right
"Are you a hidden master?" he asked Nina.
"How is that possible! I've only been trained as a servant, and I don't know how to fight." Nina had already put on a set of leather armor and was holding a bow, looking like a female warrior. But her slightly trembling hands betrayed her nervousness.
"Miss Mei... won't do anything meaningless at this moment. She will definitely want to prove herself right in front of us." Tang Feng said. He was holding a rifle and was not as panicked as the other two.
"I will do my best." Hart patted his sword and said, "But isn't this dangerous for Nina?"
"Then we should take better care of her. But..." Tang Feng seemed to have thought of something, but did not say anything else. He just looked at Nina, who lowered her head.
Just then, they heard gunshots from the garden.
"They are coming." Nina nervously drew her bow and drew her arrow.
Sure enough, a moment later, two assassins climbed over the balcony railings with great momentum. They also heard the gunshots, and although they didn't know what made the sound, they knew that the sound must have alerted the other people in the house. So they were ready to fight and capture people before they came up, hoping to have a quick victory.
"I'm going to attack, be careful." Hart drew his sword and rushed forward. Tang Feng and Nina shouted: There is an enemy attack, warning the others in the house, while holding up their guns and bows and started shooting at the assassins.
The two assassins were stronger than Hart, and they made him feel a huge pressure as soon as they fought. After just a few moves, he felt that he had walked on the line of life and death twice.
It was too difficult for Tang Feng's bullets and Nina's arrows to hit the two assassins who were taking a nimble route. There were several times when they almost accidentally injured Hart.
Tang Feng put the gun on his shoulder and freed his hands. He said to Nina: "In fact, you know very well why Miss Mei chose you. The reason is the same as why she chose me. We both have magical powers."
Tang Feng opened his hands in front of him and tried to cast magic on the battlefield for the first time.
That's right, this is why Mei chose him. He was already a magic apprentice, and one who was close to the peak.
The magic that magic apprentices of different levels can master is very different. Just like students of the same grade doing math Olympiad problems, the gap between the national training team and ordinary school children is unimaginable. When Javier was still struggling with the ignition technique, Tang Feng had already learned a very practical combat magic "mental shock".
However, the magic he cast was not stable, with a success rate of only about 40% to 50%, and he had never used it on the battlefield.
A flash of silver light appeared between Tang Feng's hands. His first attempt was successful. A shock wave that was difficult to see with the naked eye exploded between the three people who were fighting.
The mental shock does not distinguish between friend and foe, and the effect is not too great. It just makes people feel dizzy for a short time, but the effect of dizziness on Hart is much smaller than that on assassins. The former has a wide range of moves, while the latter needs to constantly change positions and adjust the direction of attack.
While the spell was in effect, Hart actually managed to turn the situation around.
"Tang Feng, you can cast spells now. Why didn't you say so earlier? Cast some more to slow down these bastards!"
Tang Feng's second magic failed, but the third time was successful, disrupting the assassins' rhythm again.
"Come too!" Tang Feng said to Nina who was still shooting arrows randomly.
"I?"
"I know you can do magic, I can feel the magical power in you." Tang Feng said nonsense, "Whatever you can do, use it quickly! There are only a few of us here, no one else will know!"
"Did His Excellency Xiao Chen tell you?"
Of course, Tang Feng thought to himself, but he said: "No, I am just born sensitive and can feel the potential in your body, just like Miss Mei."
After Nina's meditation space was reshaped by Xiao Chen, she became a low-level magician. Although the total amount of her mental power was not high, the quality was good. These days, she had been secretly practicing the three magic spells Xiao Chen gave her, and in fact, she had already reached a very proficient level.
At Tang Feng's urging, she released a slow spell, and the assassin's movements immediately slowed down.
