NOVEL NEXT Chapter 76: Chapter 76
But Alan couldn't focus on such things.
A gust of wind blew, opening the carriage curtains, and broken raindrops fluttered in front of Alan's eyes.
'System, unfinished task progress.'
Smoke and dust emerged.
[Assessment (1/2), countdown: 16:49:23. Task reward: participation score: 5 points. ]
[As a younger sister, I have gained the respect that I should have for my older brother.]
[Quest Reward: Divine Strike Magic Groove——Unlocked.]
[Alice: Countdown: 40:41:07. If completed, the magic slot of God Strike can be unlocked.]
Alan's eyes flickered over the mission time.
'There are only 16 hours left for the assessment task. The time for the system task cannot be aimless, and according to previous verification'
"One of the tests Philip gave me was 'ability', which was verified by the system, and Philip also made it clear during the interview in the rain. He was very satisfied with my potential in this area and hoped that he would teach me personally and train me to be a qualified 'politician'. In the future, we will go to the capital together and re-enter the vortex of fighting for power."
"But it should be noted that before he came, he actually had no confidence in me, a 'kid' who was famous for my martial arts since childhood in the Water God School. That's why he only set up a few simple variables, pushed me into the variables, and observed my reactions to judge my 'ability'. As for being able to satisfy him, it was purely a pleasant surprise."
"Then, judging from this information, the assessment content previously set up should not focus on my 'ability'."
Philip's words came to his mind.
"Alan, I know how talented you are in swordsmanship. You don't have to underestimate yourself. You can definitely help us with your martial arts alone."
Alan narrowed his eyes and made a judgment.
'It's the force, or the swordsmanship.'
Thinking of this, Alan reached out and lifted the curtain of the carriage, then looked at the two carriages following behind him.
"There's something wrong with the fourth carriage. A beast girl, the empty carriage is supposed to hold the luggage of the three of us, but it's totally unnecessary. Luggage can't only be placed on the seats in the carriage. If she is moved to Alice's carriage, the fourth carriage will be completely empty."
Thinking of this, Alan turned his head, looked at the cat girl opposite him and spoke with a very gentle smile.
The voice is also very soft.
"Hello, Miss, I have a question for you."
The cat-eared beast girl shook her ears, as if she didn't expect Alan to suddenly ask, while Sylphy on the side was startled and immediately sat up straight again.
Alice had been sleeping very uneasily and had shown signs of waking up just now. When she heard Alan's not quiet voice, she rubbed her eyes and muttered, "It's so noisy."
Along with the eldest lady's voice, Alan's questioning voice rang out.
"Where's Gilenu?"
The cat-eared beast girl's smile froze.
When Alice heard Gileno's name, she suddenly opened her eyes.
"Huh? Is Gilenu here?"
She straightened up suddenly and looked left and right in the arms of the cat-eared maid, but there was no sign of Gileno in her sight.
"What are you doing?"
As he spoke, the wind slapped the curtains.
Alan had already gotten the answer he wanted from the cat-eared beast girl's expression.
He tilted his head to look out the window at the rainy night, and at the same time, the carriage next to him also caught Philip's attention.
A familiar sense of voyeurism.
Perception from the Water God Flow.
Even through the heavy rain, he could feel Philip's 'gaze'.
He still had that squinting look on his face and a leisurely expression.
As the curtains fluttered, dark shadows from the distance came towards me.
That is…
A forest in the rain.
It's too late.
This plot has been buried for a long time and involves many threads, which made me feel extremely stuck.
Chapter 100: A kidnapping incident?
In the heavy rain, is the carriage going fast?
Not fast.
But the forest was too close, and by now everyone had been brought to the entrance of the 'shadow'.
Sticky darkness in the rain.
The wind brought discordant 'sounds'.
Alan looked towards the rain.
Then, the rain stopped.
Literally stopped.
The falling raindrops 'frozen' in the air at a slow speed.
It froze in the dark grey pupils.
It was stagnant in the "sensory flow" that Allen stimulated with all his strength using the Dragon Saint's fighting spirit!
The carriage curtains slowly swung open in the wind! In the candlelight shining through the curtains, dense drops of water slowly fell in front of his eyes, flickering and reflecting orange arcs of light, hitting Allen's eyeballs!
His brain was overloaded and his thoughts were extremely active. When Alan was processing information in his mind, he couldn't help but compare this scene with a movie scene from his previous life. It was a visual effect of a magic trick that used lighting effects to 'stop' raindrops.
Alan truly did it in the other world of swords and magic.
Amidst the heavy raindrops, the 'background color' of the environment is fed back through the 'sensory flow'!
The rain has ceased to fall! The wind has ceased to blow! The leaves of the forest are no longer swaying in the shade!
What just rose up in the forest was the cold luster of weapons, and the tip of the sword that had just been drawn out of the scabbard was flashing sharp.
And above the rain curtain.
Arrows are crawling in the raindrops! !
This was not the "competition" from Gilenu as imagined, but a carefully planned "assault"!!
Alan blinked, freeing himself from the oppressive sense flow.
The curtains were swaying in front of his eyes in the wind and rain!
There was the sound of footsteps beside his ears. Alice behind him had already broken free from the "restraints" of the cat-eared maid and came to Allen's face in two steps.
"Hey! Is Gilenu outside the window? Why are you looking out the window? Is she here?"
Before she could finish her words, Alan's hand was in front of her face.
The back of his hand was facing Alice, and his palm was facing the window, just blocking Alice's face.
I want to see it, but you won't let me see it, right?
How could the little lion have ever been provoked like this?
The sleepiness disappeared in an instant, his fiery red inverted brows were raised high, and his lips opened as if he was about to speak!
This moment!
The arrow fell from the sky, pierced through the rain curtain, passed through the window fence, and hit Alan's palm!
Under the inertia of falling from a high altitude, the arrow trembled and screamed in front of Allen's palm, and was constantly changed in direction by the flow secret technique, almost leaving a double image.
In the sudden change, Alice subconsciously took a step back, but her unyielding character made her stop immediately. Her dynamic vision and swordsmanship talent as a junior sword god were brought into play at this moment. With her dilated red pupils, she captured the trajectory of the arrow between Alan's fingers for a moment.
Then.
With a bang, the arrow exploded into wood chips, which fell on the carriage!
Along with this movement, several arrows twisted in the air and fell on the roof of the carriage.
The carriage had already entered the forest, and figures rushed out from the woods through the rain.
"Luffy! Earth fortress magic, protect Alice and yourself!!"
Alan picked up Alice, who was still staring at his hand in a daze, and threw her into Sylphy's arms.
"good!!"
The latter also reacted quickly. The day and night of fighting with monsters in the snow valley last winter allowed her and Allen to develop a full understanding of each other. Even though she had no idea of the situation at this moment, she subconsciously did as Allen said.
Magic power rushed out from the palm of her hand in Allen's peripheral vision, forming an encircling "barrier" with the corners of the carriage.
Magic - an earthen fort with only one hole for observation.
In this sudden situation, Alice turned her eyes away from Alan's palm and looked at the arrow fragments scattered on the ground. In her red eyes, the light flashing was not called fear, but excitement!
The young lady is a strong woman who can still stand up and curse the thieves even when she is kidnapped and tied up. How can this little change scare her?
Sylphy glanced at the arrow fragments on the ground, listened to the sound of someone running in the mud outside the carriage, and quickly concluded that they were attacked. When she looked at Alan's face again, which was slightly angry, she showed a puzzled look.
"Alan mentioned Alice first? Could it be that Alan has already determined that this sudden attack was aimed at Alice?"
Thinking of this, Alice in her arms began to struggle.
"Sylphy, let me go, I want to go out and see!"
Sylphy used the blowing magic to hold Alice in her arms, her voice soft and gentle, but she spoke very quickly.
"Don't be like this. Since Alan asked me to protect you, he must feel it's dangerous. I also know that you are very interested in Alan's swordsmanship skills, so I opened a 'window' for you. How about just watching like this?"
"I!"
"Otherwise he won't teach you swordsmanship if he gets angry."
Alice's mouth froze as she was about to retort. She pursed her lips into a ( and snorted with disdain.
"Who wants him to teach?"
Her body honestly fell limp in Sylphy's arms, and she looked at Alan without blinking.
Sylphy smiled gently and raised her eyes.
This moment!
A knife came in from outside the car and stabbed Allen in the face! !
The pupils of Sylphy and Alice constricted at the same time, and Alice subconsciously wanted to move her body again, but this time it was Sylphy under her who was anxious and led her to move her body.
The next moment.
At the same time, they felt that the candlelight in the carriage seemed a little dazzling, and there was a sharp buzzing sound, like one or many superimposed sounds, filling their ears!
"Buzz!!!"
Amidst the humming sound! The blade flashed with cold light! In front of Alan's face, like the rain outside, from the tip of the blade to the blade, in a cross-cutting posture, one by one, the tinkling sound fell at Alan's feet!
The tip of the knife! The blade! The handle!
Fingers! Wrists! Arms!
Torn clothes! Spurting blood!
Outside the carriage, the person who handed the knife had his entire arm and the blade cut into thin slices as he stretched it into the carriage due to inertia.
Pieces of it fell in front of Allen.
Blood spurted out from the man's broken arm!
And this scene only took one second!
Almost at the same time! A very shrill scream was heard outside the window!
The next moment, the screams also stopped.
A head fell on the window sill, bounced down the wall of the carriage, and rolled in front of Sylphy and Alice's earthen fort.
The blood was still gushing out.
