Sydney, who was frozen in the ice, closed her mouth tightly and trembled at first, saying nothing. But it didn't take long for her to hold on no longer, so she still spoke, "She... she went out and said she wanted to see the celebration. I, I don't know where she is now?"
Benjamin immediately asked: "When will she come back?"
"I, I don't know." Sydney's face had begun to turn pale, and she looked extremely helpless. "It may be in the afternoon, or it may be that she will come back at night. I really don't know."
Hearing this, Benjamin nodded thoughtfully.
Judging from how embarrassed the other party is now, it seems impossible that what he said is a lie. There is no doubt that after taking Augustine away, "Madam" came to Regina and most likely defected to the Sydney in front of her.
But Benjamin found it!
but…
If "Madam" really settled in Sydney, why can't he find Augustine now? Could it be that she didn't bring Augustine here at all, but...
Thinking of this, Benjamin couldn't help but feel cold in his heart.
"When she came back, how many people came back? Did she bring a lot of sacks with her?" Therefore, he quickly asked, "Where did she hide those sacks? Did she bring a strange middle-aged man with her? man?"
Hearing this, Sydney showed a somewhat puzzled expression: "W-what did you say?"
Seeing this, Benjamin thought for a moment and then said, "She came to you alone, without bringing anything?"
Sydney's only exposed head nodded painfully.
Benjamin frowned.
This is a little strange...
Not to mention Augustine, when he was in Jiade City before, he found out that "Madam" and the strange young man had been inseparable, and they also brought a pile of sacks with them. But now, Sydney said that she saw only one person, neither a sack nor a mysterious young man.
Aren't those two accomplices
Just as Benjamin was thinking about what to do next, suddenly, from the corridor behind him, a sharp shout came from a distance:
"Sydney, why are you still opening the door? Come on, something happened outside!"
Benjamin turned around and saw a young woman wearing leather armor hurriedly running out of the corridor. Her voice was so shrill that it almost scared Benjamin.
At the same time, the woman also saw Benjamin and Sydney frozen in the ice. Suddenly, a look of astonishment appeared on her beautiful face.
Suddenly, Benjamin's heart skipped a beat.
Damn...
From the blond hair and quite recognizable voice, he realized the identity of this woman.
She is "Mrs."
Therefore, before the other party could react, Benjamin took action. With slight fluctuations in magic power, several compressed water bombs flew out of his hands and headed straight for the opponent at the entrance of the narrow corridor.
"Careful, Rebecca! He's a mage!"
Unfortunately, at the same time as Benjamin took action, Sydney, who was frozen in the ice, also shouted loudly at the top of her voice. Therefore, the opponent was not caught off guard.
At Sydney's reminder, the blonde suddenly came back to her senses. Facing several oncoming water bombs, she did not show a panicked expression. She swayed, and in the blink of an eye, she ducked out of the corridor, dodged the flying water bombs, and instead took out a A dagger came straight towards Benjamin.
Benjamin was a little startled by this speed.
However, although the opponent's skills were agile, they seemed to be far behind compared to the strange young man before. Therefore, Benjamin still had time to recite the spell and protect himself with a layer of blisters before the opponent attacked.
In the blink of an eye, the woman rushed in front of him and stabbed him with a dagger.
Suddenly, the blade collided with the bubble, and suddenly a burst of blue and red light flashed, and the dagger bounced away.
Benjamin immediately realized that the opponent's weapon was enchanted.
The situation was a bit tense. As soon as Blister deflected the dagger, the woman turned around to neutralize the force of the rebound, and launched a second attack on Blister. And Benjamin also knew very well that the bubbles he hastily summoned may not be able to block the opponent's subsequent series of attacks.
Therefore, he suddenly mobilized his mental power to control the flying water bombs, causing them to change direction, aim at the blonde again, and then turn around and fly back.
"careful!"
Sydney, who was frozen in the ice, reminded her again, like an unqualified spectator at a competition, which made Benjamin very angry and wanted to knock her out first.
Unfortunately, this was the fastest-paced battle he had ever experienced. Therefore, he had no time to shut up Sydney and could only concentrate on dealing with the blonde in front of him.
Before the water bomb hit again, the blonde was very fast, seizing time, and stabbed Benjamin's blister three more times with the enchanted dagger. Then, the bubbles burst and the water bombs were about to fly back. At this moment, she sneered, dodged, and prepared to avoid it, as if she wanted the water bomb to hit Benjamin himself.
Facing this situation, Benjamin could only sneer and shake his head.
Do you really think of him as the kind of mage with poor magic control
Just when the blonde was about to dodge, Benjamin let out a cold snort and controlled the water bomb to fly nearby. At this moment, it exploded and turned into countless torrents.
Although it did not directly hit the enemy, several water bombs exploded together, and the resulting impact was also very strong. The blonde had no way to dodge, and was suddenly submerged by the overwhelming water splash.
… Done
At that moment, Benjamin immediately activated the water element perception method and sensed the opponent's situation in the water flow.
However, within a few seconds, the relief on his face disappeared without a trace.
In the sweeping current, the leather armor on the blonde woman's body glowed faintly, resisting most of the impact. Therefore, the opponent did not faint from the impact, and even quickly regained his balance, rolled a few times, and escaped from the current.
This also made Benjamin's intention to control the water flow again, form a water ball, and trap the opponent fail.
He couldn't help but feel a little troubled.
The opponent's fighting ability was very strong, which was a bit beyond his imagination. No wonder he could take Augustin away effortlessly. Thinking about it now, probably no one else in the mage group could be her opponent.
but…
It's just a little tricky.
Thinking of this, Benjamin smiled in his heart again.
—His methods are not that simple.
After the blonde escaped from the currents, he simply gave up on controlling them and instead chanted the spell of the Pillar of Steam. Along with the condensation of water elements, he summoned countless manic water vapors, and then whipped up a strong wind and swept away in all directions.
His idea is simple.
Isn’t this woman good at hiding? Then he would block all directions and see how she could hide!
The air flow rolled up by the water vapor rushed towards the blonde, and her agile figure suddenly became a little unstable. In a hurry, she could only use a dagger to pierce the wall and fix herself, so that her feet were not blown off the ground by the crazy water vapor.
It seems that she also knows that as a person who is only capable of close combat, if she is blown away, she really has no ability to resist at all.
Then, while resisting the impact of the water vapor, she put her other hand into the pocket on her back, and with a determined expression, she took out a bottle of green potion.
