Chapter 42: Pseudo-Scarlet



What could be wrong with such delicious looking silver fish? Yelena thought painfully, who would have the heart to eat such a delicacy?

She thought so, but the spoon in her right hand was placed in the bowl without hesitation. At the same time, she quickly cast a zero-ring magic "Detect Poisoning" into the whitebait risotto. Then, a layer of faint blue light appeared on the crystal clear whitebait.

--poisonous!

Is there really anyone who is willing to attack the little silver fish?

Yelena was in disbelief and grief. Who was it? Who was wasting such a gift?!

While she was muttering inwardly, she stood up and quickly put on "Shield Spell" and "Mage Armor" on herself. At the same time, she and Ivan took action and protected Ash firmly behind them.

Now that poisonous food is here, will there be few enemies waiting in the wings?

As she and Ivan stood up, all the other sparsely seated passengers in the carriage stood up almost at the same time.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Ivan and Yelena, and those eyes were definitely not friendly.

Ivan & Yelena: "..." They guessed that there would be a lot of enemies, but they didn't expect that before they knew it, this entire carriage had been occupied by the enemy.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense and ready to explode.

They took a quick look at the number of people, thirteen in total, one of whom was a black-robed wizard, and the other twelve were all covered in cloaks, so their appearance and identities could not be seen clearly.

But that one black-robed wizard alone was not someone they could contend with.

Although they have Sigourney, but...they looked at the golden sunlight jumping in through the car window. It's daytime now!

How could a vampire be allowed to fight in the sunlight?

It's fight or suicide!

Who are these people? What forces do they belong to? Why are they targeted?

Among their group, Scarlet Moon is the only one who is qualified to dispatch a black-robed wizard.

They boarded this train and this carriage randomly. It was impossible for the enemy to have arranged everything from the beginning. Therefore, they must have started to arrange things after receiving the news that "Sigourney was in this carriage".

After stopping at the first few stations and getting people on and off, they finally replaced all the people in this carriage with theirs.

Who knew that the coffin that the three of them carried along and floated into the train contained Sigourney?

Ivan's face darkened. It seemed that the traitors in the Seventh Wizard Tower were really active. It was possible that one of them was in the law enforcement team that went to the tundra to receive the three prisoners.

"Secret alliance?" Ivan guessed the other party's identity.

Under great pressure, his voice became tense. He tried to delay time, his brain working rapidly, thinking about ways to resolve the situation.

But I couldn't think of any solution.

We can only place our hopes on Mr. Nance.

Just as he had foreseen that the three of them would be in danger on the tundra and had specially arranged for Sigourney to pick them up, he hoped that Lord Nance had also foreseen their current crisis and had already arranged a means for them to escape.

"Don't think about that old man Nance. We can still temporarily disrupt his foresight of you."

Someone from the other side spoke, but the person who spoke was not the old black-robed wizard, but a cloaked man. When he spoke, it could be seen that, including the black-robed wizard, the other twelve people were actually vaguely led by him.

He was sitting in the seat closest to Ash and the others, and now he stood up and calmly took off his cloak, revealing his features without a care in the world.

He is a moonlight elf.

He has long silver hair, smoky grey eyes, delicate and slightly transparent pointed ears, slender limbs, and an extremely handsome appearance.

Every part of his appearance vividly displayed all the beautiful descriptions of elves. However, his temperament did not match the elves' labels such as "peace-loving", "respecting life" and "not competing with the world".

He was full of hostility, without any trace of the friendliness of an elf. Instead, he looked like a killer, a cold-blooded god of death who reaped lives.

When he looked at people, it was not like he was looking at a living being, but rather at an object. His smoky grey eyes were like inorganic glass, which was particularly creepy.

"The Fake Scarlet One - Jane Fairbairns!" Ivan took a breath. How could one of the top leaders of the Secret Alliance be here!

If Sigourney was hated and rejected by the Moonlight Elves after she was transformed into a vampire, then this one was a Moonlight Elf, but was alienated and disliked by her own people because of her heavy killing spree.

His title "False Scarlet" was also given by his fellow tribesmen. Scarlet generally refers to the vampires. The pseudo-scarlet means that in the eyes of other moonlight elves, he is not much different from the vampires that the elves hate the most.

"Since you know who I am, just hand the coffin to me." His voice was calm and even. "If possible, I don't want to make too much noise."

It turned out to be aimed at Sigourney!

It had been rumored before that this one particularly hated Sigourney, but now it seemed that this might not be just a rumor.

When a carload of enemies stood up, Ash fell into self-doubt and contemplation.

He had been exploring his abilities and thought he had some understanding of his precognitive gift.

When he was in Duogu Village, he could always sense in advance whether there was danger and the extent of the danger regarding Rachel, Phil, and the changes in Broken River Plain.

After leaving the village and arriving at Stone Castle, his abilities were still effective in the face of the sudden outburst of six-ring magic.

In the village of Fami, in Brant's wizard tower, he dreamed of a bloody elf, so he picked up a bloody elf. He also dreamed of Sigourney walking towards him with a dagger, and the next day he was attacked, and indeed he met Sigourney who came to rescue them.

However, today, now, at this moment, they encountered so many well-prepared enemies. Judging from the expressions of Ivan and Yelena, the enemy was even more difficult to deal with. This was a worse and more dangerous situation than the tundra attack - but he had not noticed it before, until Yelena was about to eat the whitebait, he had a vague feeling.

It's like my perception is covered with a veil, like seeing flowers in the fog, nothing is as real as before.

What was going on? When Ash was puzzled, he happened to hear Jane's words -

"We can still temporarily disrupt his foresight of you."

So, was his perception also confused and interfered with by the other party? That was why he failed to detect the danger in advance?

Thinking of this, Ash couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

Of course, if other astrologers knew his depressed thoughts at this moment, they would definitely want to beat him up.

They spent a lot of effort to communicate with the stars to get the predictions, but Ash could easily sense them. So if Ash systematically learned the spell of prophecy and mastered the rules of the star world, then who could interfere with the predictions he got by communicating with the stars with his heart?

Ash has not yet understood the difference between him and other astrologers. But after thinking about it, he came to the same conclusion.

In his opinion, his perception was disturbed, which simply means that he lacked ability. What should I do if I lack ability? I should work hard to improve myself!

Therefore, before long, astrologers of Ash's time were in despair.

It's okay that you are a talented player, but why do you have to work harder than all of us?

Are you going to give people a chance to live?

Ash doesn't know yet that he will be overwhelmed by the resentment of his peers in the future. After he figured it out, he quietly stood beside the black coffin, looking at Ivan and Yelena's backs, feeling a little worried.

Then he heard Jane Rang's words asking him to hand over the coffin.

Hand over Sigourney? Hand her over to them?

No!

Ivan, Yelena, and of course Ash, at the same time, rejected Jane Fairbairns' proposal with firm eyes.

"Then there's nothing we can do." Jane's tone didn't contain any regret. "We can only make a little more noise and cause more trouble."

As soon as he finished speaking, the black-robed wizard seemed to have received some instructions. He raised his hands and the roof of the carriage was completely lifted up. Within just a few seconds, the midday sun poured down unhindered, covering every corner of the carriage.

"Fallen Elf Sigourney, I will kill them one by one." His voice was calm. "What about you? Can you save them by hiding in the coffin? Oh, no—" He paused, "Do you dare to come out?"

"Quick victory."

He gave the order grimly.
