The shadows of the old world, the tides of the new era. Light and darkness, chaos and dawn... arise alternately in a world of machinery and witchcraft!
But what does this have to do with me, ...
On the roof, Sean and Lucille quickly fled the warehouse.
And behind him...
"Teacher, they seem to be following us!" Lucille looked back and found that Ash and Steele were following behind, and their escape actually attracted the attention of other people in the warehouse.
Many people below were looking at him.
The distance was too far and the speed was too fast so I couldn't hear what was being said below, but I knew without having to guess that it was probably a thief or something!
"Don't worry about them, as long as we get the stuff." Sean said.
I have no intention of fighting with Frelia's mentor Steele at all, so I'll just avoid it if I can.
"But they're following very closely..."
Unlike Sean's thoughts, Lucille seemed quite eager to fight.
"We have changed our appearance. As long as there is a place, we can change into other appearances. Don't pay attention to them, just go." Sean turned around and pulled Lucille's hand.
He sped up a bit, and also looked behind him at Steele and Ash.
As long as I keep my eyes on the other party's rapid pursuit, and the sky appears in my field of vision...
That is to say, at this normal time point, if you gently adjust it, the other party should feel something is wrong as long as the time moves slightly.
The more powerful a person is, the easier it is to sense these subtle changes, especially in a combat environment like this...
Time goes back.
"Let's go!" Sean pulled Lucille and sped up.
At the same time, Ash and Steele also sped up!
However, at this moment, both Ash and Steele felt a slight abnormal illusion.
I had clearly just jumped over this piece of roof, but why did it appear under my feet again, and even the jumping action had to be repeated!
"Ash!"
Steele called out the name next to him.
Ash felt the same at this time. The two of them had been chasing two strangers in front of them, but suddenly a strange phenomenon appeared in front of them.
Just at this moment, they jumped over a house and both of them jumped up at the same time...
And in the next second, almost in the blink of an eye, the two of them returned to their positions before they jumped.
"There's a problem!" Steele said suddenly.
"Let's go to the side..."
Both of them were surprised to find this strange phenomenon happening in their bodies, but there were people from other warehouses chasing them below, and it seemed that the guards had been dispatched.
You can only quickly choose a place to stop temporarily.
The view was blocked by the eaves, and in just a few seconds the two people had disappeared!
"Damn it, they're gone."
"Now is not the time to worry about them... Let's find a place to hide from the city guards first." Steele said.
Because the two of them were running from the rooftop, as long as they jumped out of the warehouse area and walked onto the street, the guards might not be able to catch up with them, and most of them would not be able to catch up with them, so as long as they chose a secret place to change their clothes, those city guards would never find them again.
In a resident's home, Ash used hypnotic magic to bewitch the family, and the two of them jumped in through the window.
"How about it……"
"There's no one here, let's find some clothes to change into and leave."
Attacking ordinary people was not a glorious thing for the two great wizards, but the situation forced them to do so in order to avoid being hunted down by the city guards.
For an ordinary family like this near the harbor, they weren't considered wealthy, but they still had a few pieces of clothing. All they had to do was change into their old clothes and then throw them into the fireplace to burn them...
After changing his clothes, Ash looked at one of the purple crystal fragments he had taken from the warehouse.
Compared to the huge piece before, this one is only the size of a palm.
It has been destroyed and I don’t know if it is still useful.
"I didn't expect that this small crystal would attract so many people's covetousness."
Just as Ash was thinking, Steele, who had changed his clothes, came out.
As one of the high-ranking witches of Basaran, Steele Philomena, who possesses both beauty and strength, is naturally captivating, but these physical features seem to mean little to Ash.
If they were not wizarding organizations from the same country, they would probably not even bother with each other.
But no matter what they think in their hearts, they are now on the same page.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that... It seems that this thing is indeed a bit strange." Ash took it in his hand and showed it to the other party.
Steele is a person who has seen many treasures. Compared with Ash's erudition, the characteristic of the beautiful female wizard is that she can receive many gifts from nobles.
Judging from the color, this purple crystal is nothing...it feels very low-quality.
However, it emits an icy chill that does not dissipate, tightly wrapped in its crystal, which can only be felt by touching it with your hands, but you won't feel anything when you put it on the table and touch it.
"I've never seen anything like this before. I guess those two people came here just for it."
When those two were mentioned, Ash and Steele both had confused expressions on their faces.
The opponent's magic is too strange...
The situation where the two of them felt that their actions were being replayed was definitely some kind of magic.
"You should have felt what happened just now," Steele asked.
Ash nodded.
"Well, I clearly jumped over the rooftop, but in the blink of an eye my body returned to the state I jumped from!"
If they hadn't experienced it themselves, neither of them would have believed that such a strange thing could happen.
But considering that there are two people in front, this kind of magic should have been used by them.
"It's so weird. I've seen countless magics, but I've never seen a spell like this..."
"Could it be that the other party tampered with our route?"
"We can't investigate the situation along the route right now. The city's guards are probably already on the move."
There's no explanation, and now isn't the time to delve into the other person's abilities. If that person really had magic that neither of them had ever heard of, they would have fought in the previous battle.
Of course, maybe the other party doesn't want to fight.
Anyway, now both sides have obtained a piece of crystal stone...
The problem now is how to deal with the city’s guards.
Steele turned on the pager in the room, and at this time a group of people on the street began to come into view.
"If they can't find us, they might block all the city exits. Then it will be difficult for us to leave."
"I understand." Steele frowned.
This shouldn't have happened this way, but no one expected it to attract the attention of the city guard.
If I had been more ruthless and killed those three people before, maybe there wouldn't be so much trouble...
Just those two people!
"Ash, your intelligence is the best. Can you recall which other high-level wizards are there in this city?"
