Metatron, Ye Zi and Javier were teleported to the middle of a road. As soon as the three of them got over the dizziness caused by the teleportation, Mei said, "Little Ye Zi, we have to hurry up and use the scroll to start the second teleportation. Let's get out of the city first. We have a farm in the suburbs of the Brilliant Wing Tower, and we can get a horse there."
"What do we do?"
"This short-distance teleportation scroll of mine takes a certain amount of time to cast. Let's find a corner and start casting." Mei looked around and saw a very dark alley. "Where are you going!"
However, just as the three of them walked into the street corner and Mei took out the scroll, a beam of light rushed into the sky from above the palace next to the Royal Magic Tower, and then a thin light shield covered the sky above the entire royal capital.
"Alas, our luck seems to be a little bad." Mei said with a pout.
"What is this?" Ye Zi asked.
"This is the defensive magic circle of the royal capital. I didn't expect that the princess has already achieved this. Until now, only the king has mastered the means to open this magic circle. If the princess can open it, it means that she has already taken control of the situation in the palace." Mei touched Javier's head. The boy pursed his lips and looked up at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.
Mei pointed at the faint light curtain and said, "This magic circle can not only resist external attack magic, but also block two-way magic transmission. When someone attacks the city, raising this magic circle can prevent enemies from outside from infiltrating, and prevent spies in the city from leaking information to the outside. We can't use the teleportation scroll to get out, and we can't even walk out. Without a special pass token, people can't pass through this defensive magic circle."
"So, we are completely locked in here?" Ye Zi asked.
"Yes!" Mei took a deep breath, "I think the best way now is for me to take Javier away. Most people are definitely tracking Javier and me. They don't know your true value yet, so it's safest for you to leave alone."
"Do you think I will agree?" Ye Zi and Mei looked at each other without showing any weakness. "You two have nowhere to go! You will definitely be caught by them.
There is a safe house in the Chinese office. Let's hide there first. They can't keep the defense array open forever. We will always have a chance to escape."
"Xiao Ye Zi, I didn't expect that I would have to rely on you at this time." Mei has never been a hypocritical person. She quickly made a decision, "Then let's go together!"
"Come with me."
"Wait..." Mei listened attentively, "There are cavalry coming. This is a dead end, we can't be blocked here, hurry up!"
The three men ran to the alley entrance, avoided a passing cavalry team, and slipped into an alley, but were blocked by the cavalry team that quietly turned back.
Ye Zi and the other two were wearing cloaks, so the cavalrymen didn't recognize their identities. But the cavalry leader said, "There must be something wrong with them appearing on the street at this time. The magicians might be talking about these people. Capture them all and take the priest with you. Those who resist will be executed!"
Mei saw the emblems on the knights' armor under the torches of the knights. "These are the Knights of the Blazing Sun of the Temple of Nature! We can't fool these people. Let's fight!"
The weapon Mei took out was not her own divine double swords, but a one-handed long sword, while the weapon Ye Zi took out was a very ordinary spear. The two of them had already made a plan, and they must not reveal their identities in the next battle, so as not to attract the enemy's full pursuit.
But the enemy's reaction was beyond their expectations. Instead of attacking immediately, the leader of the cavalry team took out a short staff inlaid with crystals and pointed it towards the sky. A small but bright ball of light flew into the sky.
"This is a signal wand! It will attract others!" Mei exclaimed.
But something strange happened. The light ball just flew up a little bit, and before it reached the height of the roof next to it, it was trapped in the air by a strange force. The knights below were stunned when they saw this. They used the short staff twice, and the two light balls they launched also stopped in the air. Not only did they stop there, but they also slowly fell down. Even the surrounding cavalry couldn't help but look up and see the strange scene.
The next moment, it suddenly started snowing, and between the fluttering snowflakes, a light icy mist fell from the sky.
The cavalry seemed to be temporarily confused by something, and they stood still and let the ice and snow fall on their heads. The first snowflake fell on the forehead of the leading knight, and a palm-sized piece of frost condensed on his skin. He seemed to be suddenly awakened by the cold, and his eyes were as big as copper bells. But before he could do anything, snowflakes fell on him and his companions one after another. In just a few breaths, they and their mounts were covered by ice and snow, and then turned into a group of ice sculptures looking up at the sky.
Ye Zi and his companions discovered that when the snow fell, the snowflakes were controlled extremely precisely and fell exactly on the knights, and there was almost no frost on the ground between them.
Moreover, a shield exploded from the leading knight, but the shield did not stop the snowflakes. Instead, it allowed them to come in unhindered.
When several balls of light fell from the sky and went out on the ground, the original team that was chasing them was also completely wiped out.
"That must be Sister Luo Ling!" Ye Zi said.
"First she intimidates the enemy with mental magic, and then freezes them directly with ice and snow magic. The whole process does not require any spells, and suppresses the mental fluctuations to the lowest level. No one in the entire capital can do this except her. At least in the way of magic, she has surpassed me by far. Even Leila and Leia, except for those who are at a slightly higher level, cannot do this by directly using mental power to control magic." Mei put down the sword and couldn't help but sigh.
"Thank you for the compliment!" A voice came from mid-air, and then a figure appeared out of nowhere in front of them. It was Luo Ling who arrived just in time. She was wearing a robe and floating down from the night sky, just like the god of death appearing from the void.
She had just been quietly following the cavalry, waiting for an opportunity to deal with them when no one was watching. Unexpectedly, just as she was about to take action, they sent a signal. Luo Ling could only use her mental power to control the light ball first, and then use magic to attack.
Her attack method comes from the "True Source of Magic" of the Tower of Source, so she can ignore the magic defense based on the principle of disintegrating runes. Moreover, this method saves more mental energy than using spells, and the backlash to her body is also much smaller.
