The Sword and The Shadow

Chapter 127: Annelotte's efforts

Views:

The rain has started pouring down. Because it is summer, the coolness brought by the rain does not make people feel too much discomfort.

After Vera got the weapon, she also had a lot of thoughts. Killing Kordak with her own hands was undoubtedly the cruelest thing for her, so Vera would not choose this unless she had to.

Now that Annelotte came to the rescue, Vera was also very happy. Vera always had sufficient confidence in this girl who was four years younger than herself, and even developed a certain sense of dependence on her.

If it were Regnar, Vera would definitely kill Kordak without hesitation and then commit suicide to prevent this kid from rushing out recklessly and losing his life in vain. But if it was Annelotte, Vera believed that she had planned everything. If the girl said she could save them, then they would definitely be saved.

Therefore, Vera ignited the fire of hope in an instant. She was thinking rapidly in her mind, preparing to find ways to cooperate with Annelotte.

Now that she had a weapon, in order to avoid attracting the attention of the Mystical Eye, she could only pretend to attack the werewolf, stalling for time while waiting for Annelotte to take action.

Regnar was a little confused when he saw Vera's behavior: "What is Sister Vera doing?"

"Didn't you see who Vera hit just now?" Garona asked.

"Who is it?" Regnar was startled by Vera's sudden move and didn't even notice who she bumped into.

"She's your little girlfriend!" Garona was devastated by Regnar's slowness: "Haven't you noticed it by now? That little girl Annelotte didn't come back to seek asylum from the guild. She wanted to come here. Save your boss!"

"What?" Regnar was very surprised. Because of the girl's behavior before, Regnar always felt that Annelotte was indifferent to the boss and the team's affairs.

Therefore, he would subjectively think that Annelotte came here just to watch the excitement, but he did not expect that the girl actually came to find a way to save them.

"She... why didn't she tell me?" Even after a year of communication in his heart, Regner seemed hesitant at this time.

"Tell you?" Garona sneered: "Although it is my first time to see that little girl, I can see at a glance how arrogant she is. Do you think she would say 'I am here to help you?' "Don't be angry anymore," or something like that? What's more, you were so angry with her when you were so sarcastic about her before, and she's even less likely to take the initiative to tell you anything!"

"I..." Regnar was speechless for a while, and then he realized how big a mistake he had made. He secretly turned his head and observed Annelotte through the mist of rain and fog. The girl was looking at Vera intently at this time, not paying attention at all. Take a look at yourself.

Somehow, after knowing Annelotte's true intention, although Regnar felt extremely guilty, he was mostly happy. Because he was delighted to find that Annelotte was still the cool and gentle beautiful girl he was familiar with. She hasn't changed at all, I just misunderstood her.

Garona seemed to feel Regnar's mood, and she immediately poured cold water on him: "Don't be too happy too early. Don't forget that this little girl said that she will quit the mercenary team after this matter is over."

"Oh, this." Regna didn't seem to care very much: "It's okay, it's okay. Once this matter is over, I will pester her to apologize. At most, I can give her a beating to vent her anger. It shouldn't be a big problem."

"I don't think so. You really broke his heart this time." Garona said: "I heard you say before that this little girl has been keeping herself cold and closed. It's hard to muster up the courage to show up to you. If you open up your heart a little, you'll slap her in the head, and it'll be difficult for her to accept you."

"Yes, this is all my fault." Regnar also felt a little sad, but then he regained his confidence: "But I will definitely make up for it!"

"That's for the future, let's look at the present first." Garona brought him back to reality. She analyzed: "The little girl must let Vera and Kordak stand together, so that It will make it easier for her to use the teleportation technique. Her sudden intervention will definitely cause chaos in the scene. When everyone's attention is on them, it is the best time for you to take action."

"Anne alone? Can she do it?" Regnar couldn't help but feel a little doubtful, escaping with two prisoners with mystical eyes in full view of everyone

"Who knows? But she must have her own way. Now, all you have to do is to be ready at any time and watch carefully so as not to miss the opportunity." Garona said.

The werewolf was looking at Vera warily. She was holding a long sword in her hand, which made him feel very uneasy. Although this woman has never hurt him, now it seems that she wants to be rough with him.

Vera was a little hesitant. She didn't know whether Annie was ready, so she just cautiously wandered around Kordak, not daring to hurt him or get close easily.

Annelotte looked at Vera on the field and quietly used her senses to detect the magic effects in the nearby area. There is no doubt that in order to prevent someone from suddenly intruding, spatial interference has been imposed on the area by the Eye of the Mystery.

But this did not trouble Annelotte. She knew that there was a magic necklace in the guild warehouse, which could temporarily stabilize the space when activated, allowing people to perform teleportation. She came back early this time to get that thing.

For this reason, the girl tortured Alex, the temporary leader, to death: the first executor of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild was pulled up by her in the middle of the night. Poor Alex had no way to deal with Annelotte and could only mutter. Cursing, he ran and turned over the guild warehouse. Now that the necklace is on her body, with this, ordinary space interference can't do anything to her.

In order to prevent attracting other people's attention, Annelotte used a spell to fix her hair. She lowered her head and chanted a spell in a low voice that others could not detect, and cast a communication spell.

"Okay, rush to Kordak in two seconds!" Such words rang in Vera's mind.

After hearing Annelotte's instructions, Vera immediately no longer hesitated. She silently recited two numbers in her mind, then suddenly dropped her sword and rushed directly to Kordak's side.

The werewolf Kordak was originally very wary of Vera, but when he saw this woman throwing down her weapon and rushing toward him, all his wariness was replaced by shock. The werewolf watched dumbly as Vera rushed over and threw herself into his arms.

At the same time, Annelotte's teleportation technique was also completed. When Vera ran to the werewolf, the figure of a black-haired middle-aged woman also appeared beside them.

Perfect timing!

Annelotte activated the effect of the magic necklace to stabilize the space. Then she stretched out her hands, preparing to touch Vera and Kordak, and then instantly cast a teleportation spell to escape.

This was her plan, to appear suddenly and take everyone away with instant teleportation. It's simple, but very effective. After all, not many people would consider the emergence of teleportation when there is space interference.

However, it was just a few people, not no one. At least, Horadik took this into consideration.

Annelotte's hands are about to touch Vera and Kordak. If everything goes well, they will disappear in front of everyone in the next second.

But at this moment, Horadric moved. As a veteran high-level mage, he had long noticed the obscure magic fluctuations faintly coming from the vicinity. Although he didn't know what would happen, there was no doubt that he had made sufficient preparations.

So when Annelotte suddenly appeared next to Kordak, he took action. Horadric took half a second to judge the situation, and half a second later, one of his instant spells had already flown out.

A ray directly hit Annelotte. Although it did not cause any damage to the girl, it still made her frown tightly.

The fourth-level protection spell, Dimensional Anchor, is not offensive in any way, but it is still a very commonly used spell in wizard duels. Because it can block any teleportation spells by the recipient, even if Annelotte wears a magic necklace, she still cannot escape the shackles of the dimensional anchor.

"Don't you think it's ridiculous to play with your meager magic power in front of me?" Horadric said coldly: "I think you are Miss Annelotte?"

Annelotte lowered her hands feebly, and she said lowly to Vera: "I'm sorry, I failed."

Vera brushed back her red bangs with raindrops, then smiled slightly and said: "I don't blame you, Annie, you have worked very hard."

"Really?" Annelotte said quietly, "Maybe some people don't think so. In that case, I'll try my best again."

Annelotte erased her disguise, and her true face was revealed in front of everyone. His long icy blue hair and incomparable face aroused everyone's amazement.

"I have long heard from my subordinates that even elves would be ashamed of themselves because of Miss Annelotte's beauty. When I see you today, you are truly stunning. In addition, your magical talent is the only one I have seen in my life. If you join me Eye of the Mystery, I guarantee that you will become the brightest pearl whether in the human world or the magical world." Horadric said elegantly: "How? It's too late to look back now, I promise to forget the past. As long as you kill those behind you. This man and woman, then tell me the whereabouts of Regnar."

Annelotte looked at Horadric who was not far away, and didn't say a word, just bowed silently.

Duel, Annelotte asked for a duel again, and this time the target was the veteran high-level mage Horadric!

Horadric was stunned by Annelotte's actions. Although this woman was a waterbender, the four-level difference would not be compensated for. This was not a challenge at all, but a way to die!

"Want to challenge me?" Horadric asked, "Don't you think it's rude?"

Annelotte said nothing, but saluted again and asked for a duel.

"Since you are so insistent, I accept your challenge." Horadik also bowed and saluted. After he stood up, he continued: "You can invite your companions to besiege me."

Annelotte nodded. Vera wanted to step forward, but Annelotte stopped her: "You are covered with wounds and you have no weapons. Don't get injured. It will only drag me down."

Vera opened her mouth, but said nothing. She was telling the truth, but sometimes, the truth is often the hardest for people to accept. To be honest, she hates her current weak and incompetent self very much.

"I hope you can seize this opportunity." Annelotte thought silently, then nodded to Horadric and began to cast spells.
