Gabriel drew his sword very quickly, so only a clanging sound of metal colliding was heard, and then the broad sword firmly blocked the stabbing dagger.
On the other side, Polly instantly drew out her sword and stabbed the opponent's chest with the tip of the sword.
The two of them cooperated very well.
The man holding the dagger was defeated and had to retreat. He moved very fast, like a vague black shadow. No sound could be heard during his movements. If Gabriel and Polly had not seen him with their own eyes, they would hardly have been able to detect him.
This was an assassin with excellent stealth skills. He was obviously very confident in himself. He hid in a study room with only one door as an exit. He did not plan a well-planned escape route for himself, and he did not expect that his whereabouts would be discovered at the very beginning.
Gabriel and Polly stood at the door, completely blocking the exit.
The most powerful ability of an assassin is to hide in the dark, wait for an opportunity, and deliver a fatal blow to the target at the right time.
Being forced into the open now, they have almost lost most of their advantages.
The brother and sister, swords in hand, advanced into the room step by step.
The assassin's exposed eyes kept moving around, looking for an opportunity to escape.
“Click.”
Luo Zheyu stood outside the door, held the door handle, and kindly helped them close the door.
Suddenly, there was a sound of swords clashing and people screaming from inside the door.
After a while, the door was opened from the inside.
Gabriel lowered his head slightly, standing straight at the door. His dark red eyes were extremely deep and his expression was serious. He held a black cloth in his left hand and slowly wiped the blood-stained sword in his hand. Blood beads gathered together, hanging on the tip of the sword, and then rolled to the ground, splashing blood on the floor.
"Please, make way."
He heard Polly's voice from behind him, and was patted by Polly, causing him to stagger forward a step.
"Purley, you've become stronger again!"
Gabriel called out, holding the door.
"Thank you for the compliment. I passed the Grand Fighter's test last week. Gabriel, you should work harder."
With the sword in one hand and the other hand pulling the assassin by the scruff of his neck, Polly dragged the weak assassin, whose body was covered in blood, out of the room.
Blood flowed all over the ground, leaving a long drag trail behind.
Gabriel didn't say anything. He and Polly had a close relationship. They always worked together when practicing sword fighting skills, but the gap between them kept widening.
Talent is such an unreasonable thing.
"Who sent this assassin?" Gabriel changed the subject.
"Who else could it be except Connie Hall?" Polly curled her lips, her dark red eyes darkened a little, and she threw the dying assassin to the ground.
"It's really inexplicable. The Nelson family and Connie Hall are just competitors at most. The hatred is not as big as the one with the monsters that robbed the caravan. Why does that old thing always keep staring at us and want to kill us?"
"But we still have to let Faulkner interrogate him."
After saying that, Polly put the sword back into the scabbard, took the towel from Gabriel's hand and wiped her blood-stained palms, then walked towards Luo Zheyu with a serious expression.
"Thank you very much for your reminder, sir. If I hadn't discovered this assassin in time and allowed him to hide in my home, I can't imagine what kind of attack I would have suffered when I relaxed."
Luo Zheyu shook his head and made a request to her.
"Can you guys go out with me?"
Gabriel and Polly were actually a little scared of Luo Zheyu's request to go outside and take a look.
Although Luo Zheyu himself denied that he was an evil spirit, he was indeed summoned from another place and knew nothing about this continent.
Apart from the "Abyss of the World" recorded on the parchment scroll, the brother and sister could not think of any other place in this world that was completely isolated from the rest of the world.
…………
The weather is clear, the sky is high, the white clouds are spreading, and the breeze is blowing gently, gently brushing the corners of the eyes and eyebrows.
The tall, snow-white horse swung its nose, stamped its hooves on the ground, and clattered through the streets and alleys, with an exquisite wooden carriage tied to it.
Gabriel and Luo Zheyu sat together at the front of the carriage. Gabriel held the reins loosely in his hand and drove the carriage while explaining to Luo Zheyu the shops and scenery in the city of Naniwuya.
Like a hospitable host who acts as a guide for guests.
"Look there, sir." Gabriel pointed to a shop on the street.
The sound of "ding-ding-dang-dang" of iron hammering came from the shop.
"That's Shilka's home, an iron sword shop. Even though the shop is small, their ironwork skills are at least second in Naniwuya City. The first is the people in the Adventurer's Guild. Oh, and Shilka is my classmate. We studied fighting spirit and swordsmanship together in school."
Fighting spirit and magic should be the energy of this world.
"However, when it comes to forging weapons, the dwarves are the best." Polly stuck her head out of the carriage and interrupted.
"It's a pity that there are no dwarves in Naniwuya. Dwarves are rarely seen in our country, unlike the Tylain Empire, where dwarves are everywhere in the main city. Otherwise, I would definitely buy a sharp sword from the dwarves and kill Connie Hall!"
As Polly spoke, she began to grit her teeth.
Luo Zheyu looked at the unique scenery on both sides of the street and listened quietly to their introduction.
"Go two blocks further and you'll find the magic item shop. It sells magic props, magic books, potions, magic array materials, magic scrolls, magic wands, and the like... Only magicians or very wealthy people can enter the shop, because those things are just too expensive!"
"Adventurer's Guild?"
Luo Zheyu was a little curious.
"Yes, sir. There are many independent travelers in the Adventurer's Guild. They don't have a strong family to protect them. The Adventurer's Guild is the right choice for them."
Gabriel paused, then remembered that Luo Zheyu might not know what the Adventurer's Guild does, and added: "The Adventurer's Guild is a relatively loose but powerful organization, spread across various countries, and adopts a bounty trading model. You can contribute money or items, and issue tasks to the Adventurer's Guild. The Adventurer's Guild will announce the tasks, and adventurers will take on the tasks. After completing the tasks, they will receive the bounty money or items, and the Adventurer's Guild will collect a portion of the commission as a notarization fee."
Seeing Luo Zheyu's eyes looking at a shop with a heavy door curtain, and a few people walking into the shop carrying things on their backs or in their hands, and then walking out empty-handed, Gabriel, as a very competent guide, hurriedly explained.
"Sir, that is a material purchasing store. As long as it has magical elements, they will buy anything, including herbs, stones, corpses of magical beasts, etc."
The carriage passed by the magic item shop that Gabriel had mentioned earlier and drove straight past without stopping.
"I am sorry, my Lord."
Gabriel was a little frustrated.
"I'm not a magician, and I don't have any money. The magic item shop won't let me in, so I can't take you in for a tour."
"Weakling."
This voice certainly wasn't made by Luo Zheyu. The Thousand-faced Mirror wasn't willing to be lonely, so it came out again to make its presence felt.
Fortunately, its voice was only heard by Luo Zheyu, who ignored it and said calmly, "It's okay. Do you have a library here? I want to go take a look."
This world is completely unfamiliar to Luo Zheyu. Instead of listening to Gabriel's brief explanation, he might as well find some books about this world to read.
The fastest way to understand a place is through the books that record the world.
"My Lord, I sense a lot of energy in that store!"
Wanmianjing spoke with a cold and hoarse voice, somewhat excitedly.
"Sir, we have a library in our academy. We are going to study fighting skills in the afternoon. Please come with us!"
Polly stuck her head out again.
"Will it cause you any trouble?"
In Luo Zheyu's memory, in many schools in reality, strangers cannot enter and leave at will.
"It's okay, we can avoid the guards at the door and go in quietly."
When Polly said this, her expression was very natural, and it was obvious that she was not a well-behaved student.
"Then I'll trouble you."
The manifold mirror was completely ignored in his mind.
"My Lord... there is a lot of energy in there. If I absorb it, I can create more small worlds and enhance your strength..."
It made a reluctant sound.
Luo Zheyu carefully observed the pedestrians on the street and ignored it.
"My Lord, if I absorb enough energy, I will be able to repair a portion of the Manifold Mirror and transform it into a very powerful weapon."
A woman with purple eyes, purple hair, and a neutral appearance, dressed neatly, touched the sword at her waist and swaggered across the road.
"My Lord!!!"
The Manifold Mirror even roared loudly.
Luo Zheyu retracted his gaze, rubbed his temples, and replied very calmly in his mind:
"As the spirit of the Manifold Mirror, did you exist when the Manifold Mirror was first created, or did you come into being later?"
Then, without waiting for the Mirror to answer, he continued, "Over the years, you may not have been locked up in a dark room by the Mirror's owner. Do you want to temporarily block your connection with the Mirror?"
The Manifold Mirror has the function of isolating the spirit of the Manifold Mirror, so the spirit of the Manifold Mirror is different from other spirits. It is more like a housekeeper rather than a spirit derived from the artifact itself.
Previous owners relied on its ability to manage a small space and simply couldn’t live without it, let alone isolate it for a moment.
But Luo Zheyu is different. He doesn't need the existence of the Manifold Mirror at all. The reason he can live in peace with the Manifold Mirror temporarily is only because he has not found a way to destroy it. He really doesn't mind locking up the spirit of the Manifold Mirror.
The spirit of the Thousand-Faced Mirror also understood this and immediately wilted, making a small and weak voice in Luo Zheyu's mind.
"My Lord, I don't need this function. Next time I will send you a "Didi" before I speak, and I will definitely not bother you..."
They walked through several more streets along the way, and Gabriel explained what he saw along the way one by one, and then he and Polly invited Luo Zheyu to dinner.
Luo Zheyu declined their invitation with some regret.
He is still a soul body now. Although he is solid and heavy and looks the same as a real person on the surface, he is still a soul body and a soul body cannot eat ordinary food.
…………
The college is very large and is divided into many areas, with four gates for entry and exit alone.
Luo Zheyu and his companions deceived the guards at the gate and entered the academy together, walking on the path leading to the library.
The trees on both sides are lush and verdant, and the layers of green leaves block the sunlight, bringing a touch of coolness to pedestrians.
Occasionally, sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, casting mottled shadows, as if entering an old and soft space.
According to Gabriel, nine out of ten students in the academy come here to learn how to practice fighting spirit and martial arts, and only the remaining one out of ten, who have magical talent, are here to learn how to become a magician.
The academy was divided into two halves, with nine-tenths of the people in the left half, and the scarce one-tenth occupying the entire right half.
The future magicians are arrogant and aloof, and few people from the right campus are willing to interact with people from the left campus.
As the precious and scarce resource of the entire country, they have the capital.
"Hey! Gabriel! Polly!" From a distance, a blond boy saw Gabriel and Polly, raised his hand and waved, then ran towards them quickly.
"I have good news for you!"
He shouted as he ran, his face full of joy, and the freckles on his face seemed to come alive.
"The Shennata Forest Trial Course that was originally cancelled has been resumed!"
