Chapter 62 Entering the house

Although the weather was very good today, and the warm sunshine was shining on the earth, after stepping into this dark alley, all the warmth left them, leaving only an uncomfortable coldness.

After walking around the corner, the sunlight completely disappeared, leaving only the faint candlelight on the roadside illuminating one side. There were several forked roads in front of me, and I didn't know where to go.

The alley that has not been illuminated by the sun all year round breeds so much darkness and sin, and the past comes to mind again. Safi can't help but get closer to Fred, and get closer to her light.

Sensing her approach, Fred thought she was scared and was about to turn around to comfort her when he suddenly heard a loud cracking sound.

This noise immediately attracted the attention of Fred and Safi. They looked in that direction and saw that a crock pot that had just been placed in the corner exploded for no reason, sending out billowing smoke.

Covered the whole alley.

Was it the trick last night? Safi was already on guard, and immediately took out her wand and recited a spell to clear the thick smoke.

Fred put his hand on the hilt of his sword, his eyes roving around, ready to take action at any time.

Suddenly his eyes moved, and the sword was unsheathed in an instant, but the sword pointed at Safi.

Safi originally thought she would panic, but when she met Fred's eyes, she realized - she trusted Fred, she believed that Fred would not do anything to harm her, so

She openly exposed herself to Fred's sword.

A faint smile filled the corners of Fred's eyes and eyebrows. The moment he touched Safi, the sword's strength suddenly changed. The crisp sound of the clash of weapons sounded from behind Safi, and Safi also moved towards Fred.

Germany shot several ice picks behind him, forcing the people behind Fred to retreat.

They guard each other's backs, as if they were born to work together so closely.

The opponent was just making a feint attack, but when he saw that he didn't succeed, he turned around and fled in one direction. Fred and Safi chased after him without thinking.

After all, they had experienced too few things, but they didn't know that it was taboo to catch up in such a situation. As expected, Fred stepped on a loose brick. When his foot slipped, all the bricks under his feet shattered, and Fred's

The body also fell.

Hey, what a cheap trick, Safi sneered. Her wind magic was enough to lift Fred up, but what's the point of letting him fall into a trap?

When the last note of the long spell fell, someone suddenly appeared behind Safi and struck Safi on the back of the neck with a fierce palm.

Their target was not Fred in the first place, it was just to separate the two. The magician standing there chanting a spell was simply a living target, so don't be too easy to catch.

Fred jumped out of the hole and saw Safi falling softly. Behind her stood a man wearing a mask whose face could not be seen clearly.

Fred's eyes were about to burst, but he was still calm enough and immediately attacked with force. The light of the sword flickered from beginning to end, and once it touched, it would be burned.

However, the opponent's reaction was also very fast. He rolled on the spot, dodged Fred's attack and threw Safi who fell to the ground to his companion. His companion quickly confiscated Safi's wand and at the same time threw a

He put the knife against Safi's neck.

Fred quickly subdued the man who knocked Safi unconscious and put the dagger on his neck in the same manner.

Each side holds a hostage, and it seems that no one is taking advantage, but Fred understands that if the other party does not value the life and safety of the hostage in his hands, his threats will be of no use to the other party.

"My noble lord," the man who kidnapped Safi took the knife away slightly, and spoke in a strange tone, as if he was deliberately changing his voice, which ended up being neither male nor female, "we have no intention of harming you.

, I just want to have a good talk with you."

Of course, Fred could understand their actions and purposes. The magician had a range of attacks. He first circled them into the alley, restricted their large-scale magic, and then hijacked Safi so that Fred could not act rashly. This way he could

To the greatest extent possible, ensure that the conversation can be conducted within a "friendly" range.

Can the proud son of heaven accept such semi-coercion? Don't be kidding, the crown prince's self-esteem and majesty cannot tolerate such provocation.

Fortunately, the other party did not dare to act rashly, and showed weakness first: "Please come with me, and we can talk in another place."

Then the man held Safi hostage and stepped back step by step.

Fred followed.

They walked into a building, but did not go upstairs. The other party used his feet to lift a board on the ground, revealing an entrance, and then walked down.

Underground? Fred glanced at the person in his hand, guessing that the other person wouldn't dare to make any move, so he followed him down.

There was a very empty space under the ground. The other party first put Safi on a sofa and stepped away with his hands raised.

But Fred still didn't let him go. Watching the other person leave without any regret, he couldn't help but mockingly said to the person in his hands: "It seems that your companion doesn't care about you at all."

No one answered him. Fred shook his head and said to Safi: "Safi, are you okay?"

"Well," Safi opened her eyes, twisted her neck, and heard the crackling sound of her joints, and couldn't help but sigh, "It really hurts a little."

Complaints are complaints, but Safi realized that this was inevitable. When the other party knocked on her neck, she reluctantly moved, causing most of the force of the other party to knock her out of the way.

Although she still fainted for a while, it was only for a short time. After she woke up, she continued to pretend to be dazed and quietly waited for the other party's movements.

Safi raised her hand, stretched out an index finger, and recited a spell silently, and the person Fred kidnapped appeared to be restrained by ice magic.

Do you really think that if you take away her wand, she won't be able to perform magic? This is just a misunderstanding caused by civilians' lack of understanding of magic. In fact, the wand only exists as a communication tool so that magicians can communicate better with each other.

Magic elves communicate with each other. For those who are proficient in magic, low-level magic can be cast even without a wand.

Seeing that the man had lost the ability to move, Fred left him aside without mercy.

Safi looked at the basement-like space and looked at Fred: "Who do you think they are, Your Highness?"

"It can't be the guild," Fred analyzed. "The guild should avoid us and never invite us over."

The guild has only two choices when facing nobles, either to stay away from them, or to silence them, and will never make any active contact.

"Huh?" Suddenly Fred raised his eyes sharply and looked towards a corner, "Who is there?"

Safi also looked over at the same time and saw someone standing in the shadow of the corner.

That person was very thin...probably a child.

Safi said tentatively: "Martin?"
