Chapter 27 Suspicion
"If it weren't for this guy being too abnormal, I wouldn't want to use that one."
Yi Ming whistled lightly, and the rune swords disappeared on his arm, and Mei Yali also restructured the sword into a foreign umbrella and sighed helplessly.
In fact, if the enemy is human, then Yi Ming will never use that kind of transcendent skill unless it is critical. After all, he is extremely confident in his skills, and it would be too boring to fight by relying on the power of weapons alone. In fact, even if he holds a magic weapon that can cut off thousands of gold with one force, the technology and means are equally necessary. Just as launching a nuclear bomb is not as simple as pressing a button.
It can be said that if the opponent they encountered was an ordinary human, then they did not have to change the form of the weapon at all. But it is obvious that the opponent in front of them has long surpassed the scope of the so-called human. Not only will the attack be blocked, but even if it stabs to the vital point, it will not die - after all, it is a dead thing, and it is not that easy to die again.
That being the case, it's all that is to completely crush it.
"Brother Yiming! You are so awesome!! What did you do just now? That sword has deformed? How did you do it!!"
Lita rushed up excitedly and came to Yi Ming and kept asking various questions. Yi Ming just smiled helplessly and did not answer Lita's questions. Instead, Meiyali walked up and reached out and pressed her hand on Lita's shoulder at the right time.
(Lita, it's going to be dark soon. It seems that we can't get out of the forest today. Go find some firewood and make a fire. Remember not to be too far away from us.)
"Okay, Sister Mayalie."
Lita nodded with a smile, then turned around to the other side to collect dry firewood, while Marien stood in front of the ashes left by the undead knight, frowned and didn't know what he was thinking. When she noticed that no one was looking at them, Mealie gently grabbed Yiming's hands hanging beside her. She frowned slightly, staring at the traces left by Yiming's palm, similar to burns by flames.
(Does it hurt?)
"Fortunately, I hope it can be faster if the treatment is done."
Yi Ming still smiled, his expression did not change at all. Mei Yali sighed, and then she gently covered her palm on Yi Ming's hand, and then slowly let go after a while. The bloody burn in the center of Yi Ming's palm has been completely healed at this moment, and there is not even a scar left at all.
"I'll be on a vigil tonight."
Yi Ming patted Mealie on the shoulder, and subconsciously played with her long blonde hair.
"Your power has been consumed a lot, and you can save some money."
(I know, I'm no longer a child.)
Meiali pulled her hair back from Yiming, not knowing whether she was complaining or protesting, but Yiming smiled helplessly and scratched the back of her head. Although he was only three years older than Meiali, in terms of life experience, Yiming was much precocious than Meiali. Moreover, when they first met, Meiali was just a flower raised in a greenhouse and knew almost nothing about the outside world. Since that time, Yiming has often been taking care of Meiali. After so many years, he obviously still has some old problems that he has not yet corrected.
Firewood is easily found. After all, it is a dead wood, and nothing is easier than a dry trunk. But apart from these, there is nothing. The grass is left on the earth, let alone finding edible fungi. The Undead Forest itself has no animals living in it, and even if you want to hunt a few wild game, you can't find the target. Since it was not expected that an ordinary test would evolve into this way, the four of them did not bring any spare food. In fact, for those who have been in this forest for a whole day and fought with a Undead Knight, a lot of energy has been consumed. But they did not expect that they would fall to the point where they could not even have a full meal. Lucky water is not a problem - both Lita and Marian can use magic to summon a lot of water polos and ice hockey out of thin air. Although it is powerful for attacks, the taste and quality of drinking are also guaranteed.
But how many days can I last?
No one knows it.
Yiming leaned against the dead wood next to the fire and closed her eyes. It seemed that he was resting, but in fact he was listening carefully to the surrounding wind and movements. Meali held Lita in her arms, curled up beside the fire, covering only a thin blanket. Although they were already used to the life of camping in the wild, it was obvious that Lita had experienced it for the first time. So she buried herself in Meali's arms and fell into a sweet sleep. The more troublesome female magician had just sat by the fire since she started, but she seemed to have a way to face the night, so Yiming just went with her. In fact, for him and Meali, saving people was not the main problem. Whether she could die there or save her, it didn't matter, it was just a trivial matter anyway.
Marien naturally didn't know what Yiming was thinking. She just sat by the fire and kept thinking about everything that happened just now. She originally thought that the one who was fighting should be low-level necromancers such as the Necromancer. You should know that although the Necromancer and the Undead were only one word different, the difference was not just one word. The Necromancer is a low-level necromancer transformed by the souls that are attached to the body. They have bodies that can be attacked and damaged. This is why when Marien saw that Yiming and the others could hit the enemy, they mistake it for the low-level necromancer.
But the Undead Knight is completely different!
As advanced soul creatures, the undead knights no longer have the concept of so-called "body". They only have simple souls. These advanced soul creatures have long lost the concept of life and death, and they do not hate life as persistently as the undead knights. It is obviously more troublesome to attack. The undead knight's talent can make them directly attack a person's soul through the body, but ordinary weapons are simply impossible to hit them. Can you use a fire stick to defeat a ghost?
Who are they?
Marien secretly looked at Mealie, who was sleeping in her arms. This strange girl had left her a deep impression from the beginning. Although she could not speak, it was no problem to communicate with Liena and Yiming. Moreover, the two-color pupils of gold and blue were extremely beautiful. Whenever she was staring at her, Marien would feel a little nervous. Those eyes seemed to be able to see through everything and see through everything. If she could know, it was just a delusion caused by human instinctive reactions when facing unknown things, and maybe she would feel more at ease.
Thinking of this, Marien turned her gaze to the man who seemed to hate her. This was not because there was something wrong with Yiming, but because he had no ignorance in his eyes, which made Marien extremely annoyed. Moreover, his actions were like blasphemy of magic. What did he think the magician do? Do you bomb the turret with high power fire? Feeling the magic spirit, feeling the will of the world, studying it, and understanding it is the magician's job. Casting magic is just a process of communication with the world. They are an existence closer to the whole world than anyone else, and they are naturally in a higher position than others.
This man doesn't understand the importance of a magician at all! How dare he treat himself like this?!
Fortunately, Marien's memory was a little confused when she woke up. Otherwise, if she had known that Yi Ming had slapped her hard in the face, she would probably not have had nothing to do with him until now.
Just as Marien looked at him and cursed him in a low voice, Yiming suddenly opened his eyes.
"What are you looking at?"
"nothing!"
Marien snorted coldly and turned around.
"Then let's take a break early, and we have to hurry tomorrow. God knows when we can get out of this forest."
After Yi Ming finished speaking indifferently, he closed his eyes again. Although it seemed like he was sleeping soundly, Marien no longer dared to take the risk of peeping at him. She secretly cursed this hateful man in her heart, while closing her eyes.
Yi Ming didn't fall asleep, he was thinking.
The whole thing is so strange. Now that I think about it, it seems that some things have been abnormal from the beginning.
"Malian?"
“Woo………?”
Marian, who was already a little confused and about to fall into a dream, forced himself to cheer up and responded in a daze, and didn't sound as powerful as before.
"Did you plan to take the trial from the beginning?"
"certainly!"
Marien replied impatiently.
"I am a magician, and usually those who participate in the trial are magicians. How could I lose to that kind of waste?"
"Why don't you come to attend when you're a magician?"
"I have only taken two months to upgrade to the level of a magician. There is no need to take this boring test! If my father hadn't insisted on me for compulsory certification, I wouldn't be interested in testing with this group of waste!"
I see.
Yi Ming finally found the head of the problem.
Marian Brad.
The only daughter of the Minister of Magic Affairs of the Lea Empire, the magician.
In fact, it is easy to imagine that if she took this test, almost no one would dare to think that she could win from her hands. Although she had no intuitive understanding of the power of the magician, judging from the information obtained from Lita, the magician had no chance of winning against the magician. In fact, Marian's participation in this test is already a sure win candidate. Her extremely sensitive identity can easily lead to some shady or conspiracy. Yi Ming is not sure what the situation in the mainland is, but based on the information obtained in his own world and some things they have done, it can be inferred that kidnapping the son of a high-ranking official and using it to increase the bargaining chips for negotiations with the power holders should be considered very ordinary. Of course, in a place where the powerful force of the academy, a magician can't be tied up by saying it. But what if you move some tricks and change your destination?
Yi Ming carefully considered that this was quite similar to something they had done before. At that time, their target was a senior official, young master, who would take a car to play ball on the golf course every day. And Yi Ming and others did it to use the same car to arrive in front of the special car, and kidnap the target and take it to other places. If this teleportation array is the same, then from the beginning, it would be a trap.
But what makes Yiming a little strange is that if the purpose is Marian, then why didn't people ambush here? Could it be that their goal is to get rid of her? However, careful consideration is also a very safe approach. If this Undead Forest is really a forbidden area without leaving, and their purpose is to kill Marian, there is no need to send someone here. Even if Marian is lucky enough to escape from here, they will not be exposed because of this identity, at most they will be suspected.
Thinking of this, Yi Ming looked at Marien very dissatisfiedly, and the latter had quietly fallen asleep.
"It seems that we are being involved in something that has nothing to do with it again."
He complained helplessly.
