Chapter 160 The Witch's Trust in Deya
The court wizard Avis, who used magic to stand in mid-air, fell down after observing for a long time.
He stood on a roof, looking at the rather large building in front of him.
Berwick is the second largest city in Frederick County after the capital. It has a developed economy and many wealthy businessmen live in the city.
The building in front of you, which looks like a small castle, is the residence of the president of a large chamber of commerce in this city.
Elvis's target is now inside.
"Lord Ivis, we have confirmed that the enemy is in this building, and we have dispatched soldiers here."
A low-level wizard who was also wearing a red wizard robe like Elvis came to Elvis, lowered his head and spoke respectfully.
"Can you confirm who is inside?"
"There are two people in total. One of them is a lady who has been following Deya Cavendish. According to intelligence, she should be a five-ring warlock.
There is another person next to the lady. According to the information provided by the Legion Commander, he should be a 6th-ring druid. The Legion Commander said to be careful of him. "
Next to the low-level mage, a general in the army was also reporting.
Elvis nodded, this was consistent with the known information.
The entire upper echelons of Susetani now know that sorceress. Anyone who has investigated Deya will be able to find her whereabouts.
It is said that this woman seems to be related to the Witch Cult.
However, Susaytani has little connection with the Witch Cult. Susaytani is unwilling to have too much contact with this mysterious cult, so she cannot go to the Witch Cult to confirm.
As for the druid, he was a powerful man that the captain of the Royal Guards discovered beside Deya Cavendish when he went deep into the Limerick Mountains.
It is not known where the necromancer found this druid.
"Besides those two, there is no one else?"
"No, sir. Should we mobilize the army's magical cannons and raze this building to the ground?"
"No, follow our plan."
"Yes!"
Using Alchemical Cannon is a good method, which can greatly reduce casualties.
But Ivis suspected that the building might contain the laboratory of the immortal king.
If he could get detailed research data on the Undead King, even if he himself was not a necromancer, he would surely be able to learn a lot.
Ives is a qualified wizard who has a strong desire for knowledge.
"It's very strange. The legion commander said that there is another eight-ringed big man beside Deya Cavendish. That eight-ringed big man has not been found yet. Is this an excuse for the legion commander to make for his defeat, or has that eight-ringed big man left?"
"I haven't found any trace of Deya Cavendish either. Could it be that he died after failing in the World Recollection? If so, the doll should be in the hands of the sorceress."
As a mage, Elvis is not a reckless man.
He was able to become a seventh ring on his own without any teacher's guidance. Caution has always been the principle that Elvis abides by.
Without complete certainty, he would never take action himself.
Even Elvis prepared a fifth-ring spell of the School of Conjuration called 'Teleportation'. If there was any mistake, this spell could teleport him a hundred kilometers away.
Although the landing location of this teleportation is relatively random, it can always escape the danger you face.
That's why Elvis had the soldiers and his own mages launch a tentative attack first. He didn't care about casualties. Only the experimental log and the doll of the forbidden artifact were what Elvis wanted.
"Attack!"
As soon as the troops gathered, Elvis immediately gave orders.
Only by killing people and getting what he wants can he feel at ease.
Several teams of elite soldiers, led by their captain, raised their shields and held their weapons, and began to cautiously enter the mansion to explore.
Among these elite troops, there are also mages following.
……
Inside the mansion, Lamia and Upton were hiding in a room.
This mansion is a huge villa, and the two of them are in a room on the top floor.
Through the gap in the window, Lamia could see the intruders walking across the courtyard and beginning their search from the first floor.
"Our plan was successful and led them to this house."
Lamia said to the Wood Elf Druid beside her with a cold expression.
Before, Deya lived in the city lord's mansion, and Deya and Mavis encountered the world memory again.
When the two are recalled from the world, they will only appear in the City Lord's Mansion.
If the enemy knew where that was, they might set up a tight net and launch a surprise attack.
That's why Lamia lured the enemy personally regardless of the danger. She found such a luxurious mansion in the city of Berwick and made the enemy believe that this was where Deya lived.
Sure enough, the seven-ring wizard was deceived, and he led his troops to surround this place.
Although Lamia and Upton, who were being lured, were trapped in a dangerous encirclement, Deya and the others were temporarily safe.
"There are only a few hours left until three days until Deya disappears. Could it be that he and Mavis really died in the World Remembrance?"
Lamia's beautiful brows frowned, she felt a little annoyed, and her little hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
The limit of the world's remembrance time is almost up. If Deya does not appear in a few hours, it means that he is really dead.
But judging from the current situation, she probably won't be able to hold on for a few hours, as the enemy has surrounded her.
"Mr. Upton, you can transform into an eagle and wait until we are discovered. Please flee from here immediately.
As long as you can run to the forest outside the city, you will be able to escape the enemy's pursuit as a wood elf and druid."
Lamia had given up. Since she couldn't run away, she decided to rush directly into the enemy camp, attacking instead of defending, and let those people kill her.
When we go back seven days, we will tell Deya that he might encounter dangerous world memories.
If possible, find the initiator of World Remembrance and kill him.
Or if you really can't find an initiator, then make preparations in advance to increase the possibility of success.
But Lamia is very uneasy. If... if the second world recollection fails again, then Deya might really die.
This ending is definitely not what Lamia wants to see, but the possibility of this ending is not low. After all, it may very well be a forbidden world memory!
"I can't find any good solution for now, so I'll tell Deya about the situation and let him think of a solution."
This was all Lamia could do. She was not good at solving problems, otherwise she would not have relied too much on her own abilities and was caught by Deya.
The wood elf Upton said: "Miss Lamia, I can't abandon you. I will try to take you away from here!" The druid's tone was firm. He couldn't abandon his comrades and run away.
Back in the rain forest, even though he had lost his mythical power, he chose to face the enemy with Deya instead of escaping alone.
Lamia had a headache.
If you take me with you to escape, then both of us will become obvious targets, and it will be extremely difficult to escape from a seventh-ring wizard.
This druid is really too stubborn.
But Lamia also has to admit that the druid is very likable. His behavior of not abandoning his comrades even in death is enough to make anyone respect him.
"Well, if you say so, Mr. Upton..."
Lamia sighed softly.
She didn't want to tell Upton about her abilities.
The fewer people know about her abilities, the better.
Anyway, as long as I die, this wrong timeline can be abandoned, and it doesn't matter whether Upton lives or dies.
"Captain, the other party is not in this room."
"Keep searching!"
"Yes!"
"..."
Nearly a hundred fully armed soldiers broke into the mansion.
In particular, these soldiers are all extraordinary people with extraordinary professional levels, which is similar to special forces in the army.
This well-trained troop searched every house and soon arrived at the house where Lamia and Upton were.
"哐————"
Someone kicked the door open, and he saw Lamia in full armor. The soldier shouted, "Over here!"
Suddenly, there was a noisy sound of footsteps in the room, and people were running towards the room in a hurry.
The soldiers who discovered Lamia rushed towards her with roars, holding short swords that were more suitable for fighting in the house.
The witch's face was cold, and a pool of black water suddenly appeared under her feet.
Ripples appeared in the black water, and a tentacle like a giant octopus's arm stretched out from the black water!
The tentacles slapped hard, sending the shouting soldier flying more than ten meters away.
Fifth-ring spell. Black water tentacles!
This was one of the spells Lamia chose after reaching the fifth ring, and she had rarely used it.
But at the moment when the tentacles touched the other party, Lamia saw the magic runes flashing on the other party's armor.
"Group Mage Armor? There are at least three-ring mages here."
As Lamia finished her whisper, an arm stretched out from the door and threw in a handful of dust.
Seeing the dust, Lamia was stunned for a moment, and then her expression changed drastically: "Close your eyes!"
"Flash Technique!"
In an instant, the house was lit up as if a flash bomb had been thrown into it, with a light as bright as the sun.
This flash technique is not aggressive at all, but it can blind people in a small space.
Lamia cursed inwardly, it turned out that mages were the most troublesome supernatural beings. Their methods were too diverse, and all kinds of weird spells emerged one after another. You never knew what spells the mage on the opposite side would use.
Lamia tried hard to suppress the pain in her eyes and felt like she was about to cry. She was already prepared. She swiped her finger in front of her face, and a huge wall of fire with a temperature of thousands of degrees rose in the room.
The extreme heat ignited the house, and the wall of fire also blocked the enemy's attack route, giving Lamia a chance to catch her breath.
"Mr. Upton, I will kill as many enemies as possible. Please don't attack me. Save your strength and take me away when the time comes!"
Lamia said very quickly
She didn't really want to escape, but wanted to use fighting to delay time.
There are only a few hours left before Deya enters the world's memory. She wants to believe in Deya and believe that Deya still has a chance to crack the world's memory.
If it really doesn't work, then choose a suicidal strategy. Now just try to delay as much as possible.
Upton thought Lamia's idea was reliable, so he agreed to it and just watched from the sidelines, saving his mythical power and not using it.
More and more soldiers rushed into the house. As a turret warlock, Lamia cast her spells madly.
She also fully experienced the joy of casting spells continuously.
However, her spells were not as effective as imagined, although this fifth-ring warlock killed more than 20 fully armed soldiers in one breath through continuous attacks.
But her high-level spell slots are also decreasing rapidly. When she has no high-level spell slots left, she will be in danger.
The main reason is that there are also mages in the enemy camp, and under the protective magic of those mages, Lamia's spell ability as a warlock is greatly reduced.
In terms of versatility, warlocks are ultimately inferior to mages.
Continuously casting spells made Lamia breathless and physically exhausted, but she did not want to give up this rare combat experience and just gritted her teeth and persevered.
The worst that can happen is death. There's nothing to be afraid of.
As the spell slots became fewer and fewer, Lamia began to prepare. She also had to choose the right moment and rush forward to put herself on the opponent's sword and let the opponent kill her.
She couldn't wait for the Seventh Ring Mage to take action. Lamia was afraid that the Seventh Ring Mage would use magic to capture her, and then her ability might become ineffective.
at this time--
"hold head high----"
Outside the house, there was a deafening dragon roar.
Lamia was very familiar with the dragon's roar, and her face lit up with joy.
Sure enough, Deya did not die in the world memory, he successfully survived.
I said that even the forbidden world recollection couldn't kill that bastard.
Although, the other party did not suddenly appear to save the damsel in distress when one was in complete despair.
But Lamia prefers it this way, which makes her feel more at ease.
"Mr. Upton, Deya is still alive, come and help me!"
Since Deya was still alive, Lamia was not going to die. She spoke in a cold voice and quickly called for the six-ring druid to help.
The enemy has a seventh-ring mage, and Deya himself is not even at the sixth ring. But Lamia believes that the seventh-ring mage cannot beat Deya!
