"..." The middle-aged man looked at the Stoke guards in silence, and then shook his head helplessly.
"Since it was your own fault, then pay for your fault!" The man thought silently, turned around, and then disappeared from the city wall.
…
"This mission went surprisingly smoothly." Although he was very tired, Regnar was still very excited on the way back. After all, he had successfully completed the mission without any mistakes in the process. It feels really great to feel that everything is developing as planned.
But Annelotte didn't speak. The Frost Girl now had a dark face and clearly visible anger in her eyes.
"Ah? What's going on?" Regnar was shocked when he saw Annelotte's face. Wasn't this mission a good one? Why are you angry again now? This girl can flip out faster than turning over a book
"It's time to settle the previous accounts." Annelotte said coldly after a while.
"Huh? What happened before?" Regnar was confused.
"You got someone into the men's room before." Garona said happily.
"How much does this girl hold a grudge!!!" Regnar complained viciously in his heart, but on the surface, he said with a pitiful expression: "Well... I was really helpless at that time, Annie, you Don't be angry..."
"With your ability, I don't believe that you can't understand the surrounding situation, and I don't believe that you were forced to go to that place." Annelotte said in a bad tone: "You must have done it on purpose!"
"I really didn't mean it..." Regnar almost cried. He really didn't think much about it at the time. Did he want to wait for someone in that smelly place
"Actually, I think it would be the wisest choice for you to run away instead of explaining." Garona said leisurely, because she saw that Annelotte had begun to chant a spell to release magic missiles.
"Teacher, you will never deceive me!" Regnar ran away.
"Don't even think about running away!" Annelotte threw out a magic missile and then chased after him at a speed that was not inferior to Regnar's. At the same time, she waved her hands and muttered something. In order to get revenge on Regnar, this girl even used movement to cast spells.
Then, along the way, Regnar kept dodging spells such as ice arrows or missiles released by Annelotte behind him. With his speed, it would have been very easy to distance himself from Annelotte. After all, it was impossible for Annelotte to use high-level spells such as teleportation or teleportation in order to catch up with Regnar.
But Regnar didn't dare to pull her too far. He couldn't leave his beloved girl in the wilderness just to escape, right? Regnar thought he couldn't do this kind of thing. Therefore, the two men chased for about five kilometers. During this period, Annelotte kept casting spells on her hands, while Regnar carefully controlled his speed while avoiding Annelotte's spells in a panic.
Therefore, when the middle-aged man jumped out and saw Annelotte, a look of surprise flashed across his face. Moving to cast spells? How can the casting rhythm be so smooth even when breathing is not steady? It seems that I have underestimated this girl.
"Huh huh!" Regnar panted but looked at the middle-aged man in front of him very warily. This guy gave him a strange feeling. Regnar couldn't feel any power fluctuations from him based on his own perception. But he instinctively felt that this guy was very dangerous.
"You... Ouch! Ouch! Oh!" Just as Regnar was about to speak, Annelotte's three magic missiles behind her hit Regnar's calves, butt and back very accurately.
The power of these three magic missiles took Regnar straight back. The poor guy was caught off guard and lay on the ground, knocking his head and making him confused.
Because of this, Regnar failed to observe that Annelotte's magic missile accurately found the middle-aged man after knocking him away, but disappeared out of thin air when he was still one meter away from him. .
"Be careful!" Annelotte did not miss this detail. Panting, she ran in front of Regnar and blocked Regnar who was temporarily unable to assume a defensive posture.
"It's as if you didn't throw those missiles just now." Regnar complained while slapping the dust off his butt.
"..." Annelotte had no intention of arguing with Regnar. She looked at the middle-aged man in front of her and asked warily: "Who is this person?"
"I don't know either. He suddenly appeared in front of me just now. I originally wanted to ask him, but you beat him to pieces..." Regnar said depressingly.
Annelotte still ignored him. She stared at the middle-aged man, trying to read his heart from his expression. Fortunately, the middle-aged man seemed to have no intention of hiding his feelings, and his expression was almost entirely written on his face. But Annelotte didn't understand why he had such an expression at all.
Because the middle-aged man looked at the two of them with surprise, nostalgia, sigh, and even this kind of... eagerness. It was as if he was familiar with her and Regnar, but Annelotte was sure that she had never met this middle-aged man since she could remember. And judging from Regner's confused look, he must have never seen this man before. Who is he
"Who are you?" Annelotte said cautiously.
"I am a mage." The middle-aged man replied.
"Stop teasing me!" Regnar laughed: "Mage? Although I don't understand magic, I can still sense the fluctuations of magic power. You don't have the slightest fluctuation on your body? Mage? I'm afraid even a magic apprentice is better than me. Are you strong?"
"If you don't believe me, you can try it." The middle-aged man said with a smile.
Regnar was about to try throwing two throwing knives, but Annelotte stopped him.
"Don't be impulsive!" Annelotte whispered.
"This guy… "
Annelotte interrupted him and said: "You feel the same way, right? It feels like he is not an ordinary person."
"So I want to confirm." Regnar was still eager to try. The feeling this middle-aged man gave him made him very uneasy, so Regnar was eager to try his depth. After all, the unknown is what people fear most.
"If I guess correctly, you should be a legendary mage, right?" Annelotte asked in a low voice.
"Legendary Mage?!" Regnar was startled. He thought that this middle-aged man might be very important, but he didn't expect that his background would be so big. Legendary mage? This is a powerful man who is more noble than the warriors of the holy realm. Is this guy really a legend
"That's right." The middle-aged man admitted readily.
"Are you from Stoke?" Regner asked this crucial question cautiously.
"No." The middle-aged man shook his head.
"Huh..." Not only Regnar, but also Annelotte couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they are not enemies, otherwise the two of them would probably end up explaining it today.
"But I'm currently working on something for Stoke." The middle-aged man's next words made the two of them raise their hearts to their throats: "That magic cannon was designed by me."
"!!!" Regnar and Annelotte were both shocked. They never expected that they had just destroyed fifty magic cannons in Tide City, and less than an hour later, they saw this magic cannon. The designer of the cannon. But more importantly, this middle-aged man, this legendary mage, belongs to the Stoker camp!
"I'll hold him back, you go first." Regnar pulled out his light-swallowing sword.
"You are no match for him, let me do it." Annelotte held down Regnar.
"Damn it! Don't fight with me at this time!" Regnar's eyes immediately turned red: "Today you have to listen to me even if you say hell!"
Annelotte was stunned for a moment. The last time Regnar treated her so badly, it seemed that Kordak was captured by the Eye of the Mystery.
"Okay, don't get excited. I didn't say what I was going to do to you." The middle-aged man said lazily, "I just couldn't hold back my curiosity and wanted to ask a few questions."
"What do you want to ask?" Regnar said warily.
"I'm not asking you." The middle-aged man didn't seem to be interested in Regnar. Instead, he stared at Annelotte with interest.
"Teacher, what should we do now?" Regnar became even more nervous when he saw this dangerous guy turning his attention to Annelotte. In desperation, he could only ask his teacher for help.
But Garona didn't react at all, she seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, and even if it was a mental connection this time, Regna had to concentrate all his attention to sense it.
"teacher?"
"..." Regnar was speechless. It seemed that Garona had hidden herself for some reason.
"What do you want to ask?" Annelotte tried her best to relax. She knew that at times like this, mentality was more important. Excessive tension would only mess everything up.
"Have you ever seen that magic cannon before?" The middle-aged man asked: "With your understanding of magic, you should understand how ridiculous lies are to a legendary mage."
"I haven't seen it." Annelotte answered truthfully.
"So the structure of the magic energy cannon was just temporarily figured out tonight?" the middle-aged man continued to ask.
"That's right." Annelotte nodded.
A hint of appreciation and regret flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh: "It seems I made the wrong choice, hehe..."
"What did you say?" Regnar felt that he had misheard. He couldn't understand a word of what this guy just said.
"Okay, that's all I want to ask." The middle-aged man ignored Regner and shook his head, as if he wanted to end the conversation.
"Wait a minute!" Annelotte spoke at this time.
"how?"
"..." Annelotte said nothing.
"If you want to ask about the magic cannon, then I can tell you clearly that I know who destroyed the magic cannon. You did a great job tonight." The middle-aged man guessed that Anello He said calmly what was on Te's mind.
