I became the master of the alien world

Chapter 506 On the Road (8)

As Ellie spoke, she placed the crystal on her right hand. Soon a white light emitted from the crystal, and a magic circle emerged in the air little by little.

Taking advantage of this gap, Ellie continued to explain, "That group of people has been following us looking for opportunities to attack, and I guess leading Jack may have something to do with them.

However, they never found an opportunity to make a move.

And it wasn't until that accident, when Alma happened to steal my Philosopher's Gem, that they realized they could take action." "Could this crystal be..." Looking at the increasingly clear magic circle in mid-air,

Alma's face became increasingly ugly.

As an elf, although she has not studied magic specifically, she still has some understanding of it. Looking at the magic circle that Ellie forcibly analyzed from the crystal, she has roughly guessed what the magic circle is.

Before Alma could finish speaking, Ellie nodded and said, "Yes, this magic is usually used for detection.

That person should have deliberately let you steal this thing.

It is because of this that we are being followed all the time.

I mean, how come someone can follow us after I use space magic." "But why do you use such troublesome things to follow me? I remember Edward said that the person who killed all the rogue unions is a very strong killer.

.

With what he has, why would he bother to follow me with such a thing? And the strange thing is that he didn't kill me in the end? Let me escape here smoothly?" After hearing Ellie's explanation, Alma frowned.

She frowned, but there was indeed nothing wrong with her suspicion. Ellie's statement was indeed unreasonable in some places.

"No, I think there should be a trick in this." After listening to the words of the two people, Edward seemed to have a feeling of enlightenment. He sorted out his thoughts and then said, "In fact, there was a trap in it from the beginning.

Although their goal is to steal the Philosopher's Stone from your guild, after all, killing a rogue guild is a big deal, and they must find a scapegoat.

And that person is you, Alma.

They deliberately let you go, giving you a chance to escape, and then used other methods to restrain you to death, so that all the crimes can be pinned on you.

Because the dead will not resist." "But, but..." Alma seemed to feel that there was something wrong with it, but she couldn't figure out what the problem was, so she could only stay aside.

However, Edward seemed to have guessed Alma's thoughts. He smiled slightly and continued: "In fact, their plan went very smoothly, at least the frame-up was done flawlessly.

But Ellie and I are outside of their plan." Edward's somewhat unclear words made Alma even more confused.

She didn't know what else to do except look at Edward with confused eyes.

"Yes, Ellie and I were originally part of their plan, but we were also an unexpected part of their plan." Edward paused slightly as he said this, "They didn't expect us to be there again so soon.

Meet, and let you take us back to the Rogue Guild so quickly.

Because of this, we knew in advance that the Rogue Guild was being bloodbathed. This is one point.

What's more important is that they never expected that we would actually protect you. After all, you have indeed caused us a lot of trouble. According to common sense, it is impossible for us to help you again.

But the actual result was far beyond their expectation.

So the thing they originally used to frame the blame to find you as soon as possible has now become an important clue to expose their true colors." After listening to Edward's analysis, Alma fell into silence completely.

In fact, she has completely understood the tone of what Edward just said, which is the main culprit of the bloodbath of Kent City's Rangers Guild - the Southern Continent Rangers General Guild.

Only they have enough reasons to issue a wanted warrant, and they also have enough ways to reveal her whereabouts to the bounty hunters.

Although he stated that he wanted to capture her, in fact, he just wanted to destroy the crystal with the tracking function on her body.

The reason is even simpler, because they were the ones who massacred the Kent Rogue Guild and took away the Philosopher's Stone.

"Okay, don't be sad.

Now that we have clues, it's time to retrieve our own things." At this time, Ellie walked up and gently pressed her hand on Alma's shoulder, with a confident smile on her face.

"You mean, we go directly back to Luo Yan and settle the accounts with the Southern Guild of the Wanderers!" After hearing what Ellie said, Alma immediately became excited. After all, she was framed after losing her loved ones.

About to fall into the madness of revenge.

But Edward immediately shook his head and rejected Alma's idea: "No, although this crystal is a very important clue, it is not evidence yet. We can't come to the door based on this.

You know, as long as you have money, you can buy as much of this thing as you want from the Audi Chamber of Commerce." "This..." Alma's face immediately became lonely as if cold water had been poured on her head by Edward.

But after she calmed down, she did realize that Edward's words were correct.

After a moment, she whispered, "Is there nothing we can do?" "That's not it." Ellie looked at Alma with a smile and said, "Remember what Edward just said? The crystal is a clue.

I don’t care about boasting about anything else, but it’s not a big problem to use this crystal to judge the location of our people.” “Really?” After hearing what Ellie said, Alma immediately jumped up from the ground.

Although she knew that Ellie had the title of Great Mage, she never imagined that Ellie could be so powerful.

But then she suddenly realized something very troublesome, and her face immediately darkened.

"But, since that crystal has a detection function, wouldn't the person who was monitoring us already know about it after all the trouble we just put in?" After Alma said this, both Edward and Ellie couldn't help laughing.

On the contrary, it made Alma confused and thought she had said or done something funny.

"...Haha, I'm talking about Alma, you, it turns out that you have been in the human world for so long, and your mind is still stuck in the stubborn era of elves." Ellie spent a lot of effort to stop herself from laughing.

, "Why do you think detection magic is like the True Vision Crystal made by your elves, which can transmit images and sounds? Don't be kidding, if there really is such a thing, why do you still have to scout during a war? This kind of crystal can only be used for judgment at best.

The approximate location where we are, and other things, it has no effect at all." "And I'm not that careless. When I was looking for crystals on you just now, I used magic to seal the crystals around you in advance.

Space, preventing all magic from spreading out from inside.

So even if that thing can really transmit sounds or images, it's still impossible." Ellie had almost recovered from the laughter just now. She drew a circle in the air with her left hand as she spoke.

Then a white magic circle appeared in the air.

Not long after, a bird flew down from the sky for some unknown reason and landed directly on the back of Ellie's right hand.

Ellie smiled slightly and tied the necklace directly to the bird's leg. Then she waved her right hand vigorously and the bird immediately flapped its wings and flew back into the sky.

Ellie's seemingly effortless move undoubtedly made Alma's eyes wide open.

There was no need to ask Ellie the reason for what she did, but that was not what Alma cared about. She swallowed her saliva after a long time and then asked cautiously: "Sister Ellie, do you know Druidry?"

No, I don't know that kind of thing.

The teacher never taught me." Ellie was a little surprised why Alma asked that, but she still answered truthfully.

"Then how did you communicate with the bird and let it help you send away the necklace?" "Oh! So you are this.

It's nothing, it's just a little illusion I created with light magic." After hearing this, Ellie finally understood what Alma meant.

In addition to ordinary warriors, archers and mages among elves, there are also some aliens among them, such as elves who can communicate with nature and other animals. They are generally called druids.

Although the action I just used to deceive the bird using illusion magic was not something very profound, it might indeed be misleading to an elf like Alma who only had a little knowledge of magic.

"Light illusion magic? You, you, you..." Alma wanted to say that Ellie didn't know light magic, but after saying "you" three times in a row, she finally got stuck.

inside his own throat.

"Are you trying to say that I don't know how to use light magic? That's right." Seeing Alma's appearance, Ellie felt very interesting. She deliberately paused for a while before continuing, "I didn't expect it."

You rogues' intelligence system is indeed very good. Very few people know that I don't know light magic, but you still know about it.

Unfortunately, this information has expired.

Now I can use various elemental magics at will.

How about this? I'm afraid this information can be exchanged for a lot of money with you." During the battle with Horus, Ellie had already discovered that she could use light magic when she restored her dragon power.

.

Then after re-sealing his dragon power, that power did not disappear with the disappearance of the dragon power.

In fact, Ellie has always been worried about her inability to use light magic, but no one, including her teacher Merlin, can understand what is going on.

But now, the stone that had been weighing on Ellie's heart has finally disappeared, making her happy for a long time.

And when she returned to the Earth Temple, she began to crazily review the light magic that she had not learned much in the past.

It only took her less than two months to learn magic that might take others a lifetime.

Seeing her learning speed as fast as a rocket, several magic instructors at the Earth Temple could only beat their chests and think about how this girl, who looked not much older than their granddaughter, could learn so quickly.

But they didn't expect another problem. The actual age of the girl in front of them was probably much older than their grandfather's grandfather.

When sending the crystal away, Ellie had already sensed the other end of the crystal.

However, she didn't know much about the southern continent, so the group could only walk in the direction she pointed.

Because without that crystal, although the next section of the road is not easy to walk, there are fewer annoying bounty hunters.

The three of them walked for about six or seven days and arrived at Lute, a small town close to the sea.

"It seems to be nearby." Before approaching the city gate, Ellie suddenly said.

Ellie's words undoubtedly gave the other two people a shot in the arm.

In order to keep a low profile and avoid being discovered by bounty hunters and get into trouble, the three of them rarely walked on the main roads along the way, and even Edward was going crazy with depression while walking down the mountain road.

I can only clamor every day to make the guy who stole the Philosopher's Stone look good. Now that his opponent is finally about to surface, how can he be unhappy about this?

As for Alma, there is no need to ask why. Although revenge may not make up for anything, the mood at the moment when revenge is successful can bring a sense of satisfaction.

"Let's have a good rest today, and we won't cause trouble for them tomorrow." Although he was very happy, Edward still said calmly, after all, they had a good rest these days.

The three of them found a hotel in the city to rest for the night, and immediately started walking around the city looking for their target at dawn the next day.

However, from morning to sunset, they had visited this small town more than six or seven times, but they still had no clue.

However, Edward became a porter again and helped Ellie and Alma carry a bunch of large and small bags.

"I think it's not in the city. Although it's easy to hide in the city, there are still people who talk too much." Edward said while throwing large and small bags of things on the bed in Ellie's room.

He now felt sore all over his body, which was more strenuous than practicing swordsmanship all day long.

"I agree with Edward.

I also spent some time walking around the city today and heard some news." Alma said while helping Ellie sort out the large and small bags, "I heard that there is an unknown ruin outside the city recently.

It's not peaceful, a lot of people have gone missing there.

The mercenary union here has issued a bounty to investigate the ruins, but since several powerful adventure teams went in and never came out, no one dares to go near it now.

If there is a problem, it must be the most suspicious place." "You, when did you hear the news?" The news that Alma mentioned casually surprised both Edward and Ellie.
