Chapter 59 A fight in the dark night

Martin's room was not big. After two adults stood there, they would bump into each other even when they turned around. The window was only as wide as one person. Of course, Fred and Safi felt cramped, but this small room was compared to

Martin's once precarious life has become much better. Traces of Martin's life can be seen everywhere in the room.

"Is it possible that Martin was kidnapped?" Fred looked at Martin's glass, which was still half full of water, and speculated that the guild was hunting Martin, and it was possible that he could sneak in and knock Martin out and take him away.

"No," Safi shook her head and pointed to the corner of the room, "Have you seen the bell device? Once someone opens the window, the bell will ring. Martin will definitely resist, and the room will not be so tidy."

Fred looked over and saw clearly that there was a very thin wire tied to the window, and a bell was connected to the other end. The color of the wire was the same as the color of the wall. You couldn't tell if you didn't look carefully. He walked over and pushed it away.

The sound from windows and bells can wake the dead.

The children who came out of the slums should not be underestimated. Fred sighed. When he was seven or eight years old, he would not be able to make such an exquisite device. Fortunately, Safi could see it at a glance.

"So Martin can only leave on his own, right?" Fred glanced out the window a few times. He couldn't see anything unusual or any clues, so he gave up his seat to Safi.

.

Safi walked to the window and looked at the long and narrow alley outside the house, then pointed to one side: "He should have gone that way."

Fred believed Safi's judgment without hesitation. He took a look outside and inside the house. There was a height difference of nearly 1.7 meters between the lower edge of the window and the ground. It was a bit difficult for Safi to jump down. Fred

De then stepped on the window frame and jumped down first, then turned around and opened his hands to Safi.

Now was not the time to be pretentious. Safi gritted her teeth, carefully stepped on the window frame, hugged Fred's neck, and let him take her down.

This was the closest they had ever been. As long as Safi lowered her head slightly, she could meet Fred's eyes. Both of their hearts were beating rapidly. Fred's hand was placed on Safi's waist.

They couldn't help but tighten a little, bringing them closer to each other.

But after all, it only happened for a moment. When Safi stood on the ground, Fred had no intention of letting go. His expression was wandering, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Safi had no choice but to push Fred's chest and signal him to let go.

Fred woke up from a dream, then let go of his hand and took a step back: "I'm sorry."

There is nothing to be sorry for. Based on the relationship between them, it is appropriate to be closer, but because of Safi's relationship...

Safi shook her head and didn't think about it. Only Martin's matter was the priority now, and everything else was put aside.

After walking out of the alley, there was a narrow path. Safi looked at the path and pointed in a direction again: "This way."

The two people went around and around, and finally stopped in front of a dead end.

"Safie, are you sure?" Fred looked at the road ahead and frowned, "Where should we go next?"

Safi walked back and forth in this dead end, frowning: "The clue is broken."

She tracked her all the way here because Martin had left a code. Some unexplained patterns were drawn on the wall with specially treated juice. The patterns could only be seen clearly from a special angle, but even if they could be seen clearly, they might not be able to tell.

Safi guessed the meaning of the pattern and took a gamble.

Now it seems that she was right in her bet. There are marks all the way down the fork in the road, but why did the clues stop here?

Just as she was thinking, Fred suddenly raised his eyes. Years of training made him feel a sense of crisis. Without thinking, he pulled Safi and threw her to the ground.

Several arrows flew past their heads, making sharp cracking sounds in the air. It was obvious that they were coming with momentum. If they had not been able to dodge in time, they would have been shot, and their lives would have been lost here.

.

It seemed like they had fallen into some kind of trap.

Safi was held firmly in Fred's arms, but unlike when Fred carried her down, she had no charming thoughts at the moment. All her mind was on the unknown attack. Since the other party

Once you take action, you will never stop so simply. There will definitely be a follow-up move.

"Can you protect yourself?" Fred's voice sounded above her head, with imperceptible anger.

Fred was not a long-range magician who huddled in the background and could only cast magic. He had been educated in all aspects since he was a child, and he was not good at magic. However, he had also received personal training from the head of the Knights in the same close combat.

Melee combat does not mean abandoning magic completely, but uses magic as a supplement to make him more aggressive.

Safi nodded: "I'll cover you."

After communicating in a few words, Fred pulled out the dagger from his waist, suddenly stood up from the ground, exerted his strength on his calves, and rushed towards the place where the arrow was shot.

Suddenly, more and denser arrows were shot at Fred. Safi snorted and began to chant a spell. The tip of the wand in her hand emitted an icy blue light, and the magic elves in the air became restless.

The ice arrow gradually took shape, and with its unstoppable momentum, it drove away all the arrows aimed at Fred, opening a bright road for him.

"What the hell, why is there a magician?"

Fred heard someone complaining loudly, but he didn't hear it clearly. He felt strange in his heart, but now that he had taken action, he couldn't take it back now.

The faint glow produced by the light magic enveloped Fred. This was the boost Fred applied to himself, and his speed suddenly increased.

There were four or five opponents, but how could they withstand the joint efforts of Fred and Safi. The two of them subdued everyone in three strikes.

Safi then cast an ice confinement spell on them, making it difficult for them to move.

Fred's light magic illuminated this space, revealing several faces that they did not recognize.

These people are probably over forty years old, and the traces of time can be seen on their bodies, which are vicissitudes and roughness.

They looked at Fred and Safi with very defensive eyes, as if they were a pack of wolves on the prairie. Once they sensed danger, they might attack and hurt someone at any time.

They followed Martin's whereabouts and ended up here. Does this mean that Martin is in their hands?

"Hmph, you actually invited a noble magician to catch a child. Is the guild so rich now?" One of the people said, "We will not tell you the whereabouts of Martin! We will not let you hurt the child.

of!"

Hearing this, Safi and Fred looked at each other and realized that something seemed to be wrong.
