How could that be!
When the smoke cleared, the two men looked at the man standing in front of them in surprise. His black coat hadn't even been damaged!
"How could this happen!" the woman said slowly.
Stick out your tongue again...
"Don't!"
Sean stretched out his hand to stop him, but it was too late. The opponent condensed the surrounding air again, and this time it formed ice crystals, and attacked him again with physical attacks.
He waved his hand and cast a [Magic Shield~] to block all attacks, easily dissolving them.
"I told you, stop using those abilities of yours. They're useless to me!"
The air exploded once again, but Sean seemed to be surrounded by some invisible protection. Neither the explosion nor the physical attack could get close to him...
"But having said that, thanks to your low level, I was safe and sound. It allowed me to see how to fight an alchemist, which was pretty good!" Sean said with a smile.
“Who the hell are you!”
The two of them looked at this side nervously, and one could see their heads racing with thoughts.
"I'm just a passerby. Don't worry... I won't do anything to you. On the contrary, I'm ready to help you."
I have been worrying about not finding a good opportunity, but now is a good opportunity. With these people helping me cover up, they will be the only ones who are hunted down.
"What do you mean?"
The female one of the two should have a slightly higher status. She has been giving orders since the beginning. Sean also noticed that the actions of these two people were not like those of ordinary adventurers or hired mercenaries. Their strict discipline and ruthlessness in combat made them more like professional killers. But do killers need to save people?
The only thing Sean could think of was that they belonged to a highly disciplined team, perhaps the enemy's army, perhaps the Kselk rebel organization, or perhaps other factional forces in the country.
Looking at the two people in front of me, I fell into deep thought...
"That's what I mean. It's too difficult for you to snatch Occam from these alchemists. Besides, the level of the seven of you is no match for them."
"So you came here today on purpose to test us." The speaker was another man.
I did glance at them intentionally this afternoon... So it seems they decided to attack me first because of that glance. After all, I had a child like Lucille with me, which gave me a very weak impression.
"You are not a noble!"
The other party continued.
"Maybe!" Sean rarely answers these topics directly, especially when he can see the target's emotional changes.
The situation above his head was constantly changing, and many of them were tentative changes, so Sean never responded to them.
"What you want now is Occam, and I offer you this condition... Just knowing this is enough. As for the rest, it has nothing to do with this matter."
"...Tell your leader that I will take action in Kimo River Town. That will be your chance. Good night."
Sean tightened his black coat and put his hat on his head.
Smile slightly and walk away.
One minute after he left, the magic of [Imprisonment~] slowly dissipated.
The two can finally move freely!
They all looked at each other...
"What should we do?" the man asked first.
The original plan was for the two of them to use drugs to anesthetize each other while they were sleeping. This was the only way to avoid hurting the nobles, and then kidnap the girl... As long as there was a noise outside the room, it would attract the attention of the camp over there, especially when the little girl cried for help, it would easily wake up the people in the camp.
All he had to do was take the girl and pretend to be defeated and escape to lure away Rorschach and Rachel, and the leader could take action.
But now...
"Go back first and tell the captain about this!" said the woman.
…………………………
On the other side, Saroyan was ready, and all preparations were waiting for action on that side.
But there was no movement at all for such a long time.
"What's going on? Why haven't they taken any action yet?"
"Are you biding your time?"
There were four other people following behind Saroyan, who were also waiting for action over there.
"Aina is not the kind of person who can't seize the opportunity. She is just a noble. There is no need to waste so much time. The sky will change in a while." Saroyan looked up at the sky.
After being in this position for a long time, especially doing this kind of work for a long time, the control of time is very precise. They know which season the sky will be darkest and they know it very accurately and will never make mistakes. This is the most basic common sense!
"Do you want me to go and urge them?" someone said behind him.
Saroyan frowned.
Even if we rush now, the time is not enough. If we fail to seize the opportunity this time, we might as well give up!
"team leader!"
Just as they were struggling, a voice came from behind.
"Aina! Why are you here?"
"Something happened, Captain..." The two people who came over told Saroyan everything that had just happened.
If the person speaking wasn't their teammate, no one present would have believed it. The person they saw during the day? He was actually a wizard! And a wizard of such a high level.
"Really?" a team member asked with some doubt.
"Why would I lie to you?"
"Wait, maybe what Aina said is true." Saroyan stopped the quarrel and only then recalled the rumors he had heard before.
"I heard that the Alchemist Guild hosted a high-level wizard and his apprentice. It's been half a month, and I thought they had left... but I didn't expect they were still here. The wizard you met might be the one mentioned in the news!"
A high-level wizard, who seemed to come from somewhere else.
Thinking back to the man I saw during the day, he was dressed like...
There was also the knowing smile he gave when he walked towards the crowd. At that time, several people thought it was just a polite greeting, but now thinking back, they realized that he might have been greeting everyone at that time.
"So what should we do now?" Everyone turned to Saroyan for answers.
"He said he would help us in Kimohe Town?"
"Yes."
"Then why should he help us rescue Lord Ockham?" said another.
"Could it be because of that thing as well?"
The original mission of these people was to protect Occam and prevent things from being lost.
"No matter what, he is very capable. We may not be his match if we confront him head-on. Add to that Kodor's two disciples... maybe we can also make use of his abilities. What do you think?" Saroyan looked at everyone thoughtfully.
