It wasn't until night, after having dinner, that Lista ordered Ou Baizhi to send her back.
On the way back, Lista didn't say a word to Ou Baizhi. She just stared out the window in a daze. She didn't say thank you until the car stopped and got out of the car.
The meeting hall is located at the highest point of the island, on the high mountain in the north. Lista did not go back to the house immediately, but stood outside and looked down from the top of the mountain for a while. Just when Lu Ning felt that she had been standing a little too long, she raised her hand, with her palm facing upward, her thumb on the second joint of her index finger, and the other four fingers pointing flatly into the distance. Five seconds after she made this gesture, some tiny spots of light rose from seven other directions on the island and floated into the sky.
That's the location of the annex.
After Lista looked at the location of those light spots, she put down her hand, and those light spots disappeared with her movement. Afterwards, Lista walked into the clubhouse.
"Back?" There was a smile on Lanewood's face, and Milia looked at Lista gently.
"It seems that Uncle Dimitri has been here." Lista glanced at the clothes rack by the door, "They left in a hurry."
"Yeah, originally we planned to chat more, but the weather didn't seem to be very good." Lenwood said with some regret, "He was afraid that it would rain and it would be difficult to walk, so he left in a hurry. By the way, he brought My companion is Jack Swan, do you still remember?"
"I remember, Uncle Jack gave me a birthday gift." Lista said, "I just found that my mobile phone can't receive external signals. Do you know what happened?"
"Every signal on the island is down, not just you," Lanewood said.
"Father seems to have some plans of his own." Milia said worriedly, "Come to Enwood, maybe it's not a good idea for us to insist on letting Lista come here?"
"What are you afraid of? I will protect you." Renwood patted Milia on the back, "Whoever dares to touch you must deal with me first."
"Don't be so pretentious, Lanewood." Milia grabbed Lanewood's hand, "If there is really any danger, I will take you and hide together, and no one will be able to find us."
】
"Father, why did you foresee the danger but still come?" Lista suddenly asked.
"Of course it's because this is the rule of the Howard family." Lanewood said matter-of-factly. "As the eldest son of the Howard family, do I have to escape from such a possible danger? This danger is accompanied by a huge opportunity. of."
"You think you're better than your grandfather?"
"No, my father is far better than me in many fields, but I am still young enough and my father is already old."
Lista did not ask any more questions, but walked upstairs and returned to her room. She hung the suit on the hanger in the room and flicked it gently with her hand. Lu Ning felt that the suit and the door seemed to have a connection. Some connections. Then, Lista sat down at the table and took out the envelope.
Lu Ning also saw this envelope called "Despair Express" used by Lista. The letter paper inside it has functions such as rubbing and storage. According to her guess, it should be a magic related to "storage ether". thing.
Lista quickly released all the items sealed inside. Includes a replica of a magic book, two potions, a handwritten sheet of music, a quill pen, a landscape painting, a small voodoo doll, a pendant made from bullet casings, and two makeshift writing Just the recipe.
During an afternoon of conversation, Lista accurately identified the highly inspired alien characters summoned here by Rennix, including Kagabo and Orlando. Indeed, these two people did not know magic. Gabo has no other special identity, and Orlando's identity as a bodyguard seems a bit redundant, so the possibility that they are also highly inspired people is indeed higher. Lista helped them save this verification step.
But...it's eight copies again.
What happened on Yamu Island never seemed to break away from this number, and it happened to be eight even when one of the nine servants that should have been there failed to come.
Lista thought about those things for a long time, but it was a pity that Lu Ning could not pry into her thoughts.
It was close to ten o'clock in the evening when it started to rain heavily outside the window.
Seeing it starting to rain outside, Lista suddenly stood up and opened the window. She stretched her hand out the window and caught a few drops of rainwater. The rainwater fell on her palm and suddenly began to twist slowly. Some red threads began to separate from the clear liquid, trying to grab Lista's palm. But then, as if they realized that their appearance seemed out of time, they suddenly broke apart and disappeared.
But this time, Lista finally no longer had everything under control as before. She asked the question that for the first time so far, Lu Ning really felt that she had "doubts": "What is this? "
But of course no one answered her.
Lista grabbed the water on her hand, and the water flowed from between her fingers, only moistening her palm. Everything just now seemed to be an illusion.
"Grandpa, you..."
As soon as she started talking, Lista immediately turned around, as if she was wary of something in the room, and at the same time put everything on the table into an envelope. Naturally, there was nothing in the room. Lu Ning knew that everything should be safe until the night of the family banquet.
Of course, she also knew why Lista was so vigilant, because the suit connected to the door just shook slightly.
Lu Ning suddenly understood Lista's current mood.
She knows more than others and is more talented. She is probably second only to Rennix in magic. However, because of this, she can feel more crises and pressure than ordinary people. To others, it is just The night before a family gathering was already a thorn in Lista's back.
"come out."
Lista snorted coldly, but in Lu Ning's opinion, this was already a sign that she had lost her cool.
"Sneak into my room, aren't you planning to come out?" Lista held down the envelope on the table with her backhand, looked around the room again, put a little force on her fingers, grabbed the envelope in her hand, and quickly took out the letter paper inside and read it. One glance.
Lu Ning and Lista felt the same way. When Lista glanced at the letter, she also saw the words on the letter.
[Owner of the room: Lista Howard (temporarily)
Visitor: ███, entered the room in front of the room, and is now walking around.
Warning: Severe interference detected.
Warning: ////Error message found, deleted////
Warning: warning removed
Current status: normal]
Lu Ning almost broke into a cold sweat, especially after experiencing the previous scene, these abnormal conditions were still fresh in her memory. Of course Lista was even more frightened. Fortunately, her natural rationality was able to help her suppress this panic. After seeing the abnormal record on the paper, Lista almost without hesitation stretched out her finger and pulled it from her own finger. The center of his eyebrows moved downward——
"Chaos Aether!"
The pain, as if she was being cut open, was instantly transmitted to Lu Ning's perception, but she did not feel it as strongly as Lista. Lista directly squatted down, a line of blood flowing down from her eyebrows, and everything in the room also suffered a cut from top to bottom at the same time, and unlike Lista, she only suffered some minor injuries. In comparison, other things are directly divided into two regardless of the material.
However, Lu Ning still cannot control Lista, which means that Lista is still in a fighting state and cannot switch. And having said that, even if she could switch, it would be difficult for her to think of any good countermeasures in her current state.
After a room-wide cut, Lista obviously realized that the threat that broke into the room had not been killed. She raised her finger again and pointed at her heart. A trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and this time, an explosion immediately occurred on all objects.
The manic blast smashed the entire room to pieces. Both tables, chairs and beds were blown into pieces. The light bulb shook and went out completely. The entire room suddenly turned into pitch black, with a ball of blood-red fluorescence in the room. becomes very conspicuous.
The fluorescent head was two meters tall. It seemed to have several arms, the last of which was about to grab Lista's head. The explosion just now obviously had an effect. Not only was it forced to appear, but its movements were even frozen. in the air.
"Familiar..." Lista squeezed out a word through her teeth. The two consecutive uses of magic obviously brought a great burden to her body. Lu Ning is now considered a half-baked magic apprentice. According to what she has read and actual experience, most of the magic that a magician usually prepares is more general, such as acceleration, concealment, and recovery spells. And the magic prepared by Lista turned out to be a highly aggressive area-of-effect killing magic, so there was no doubt that she was rushing to kill something.
At the same time, the identity of the familiar in front of him is also a mystery. The last familiar that Lu Ning saw was released by Lenwood to the Bamoku Island with the help of his position as temporary clan leader, but that familiar only had a surveillance role. The magic was an attack launched by Lenwood himself, otherwise it would not have been possible. It may end after a few attacks - only magicians can do this because the magic they prepared runs out.
This red fluorescent familiar is aggressive. Can a magician like this familiar be created?
"go to hell!"
After Lista took a few breaths, she stretched out her fingers again, this time across her neck, swiping hard from left to right.
A whistling sound like a sharp blade piercing the air passed through the air, and there seemed to be the sound of blood spurting out. Then the top section of the red fluorescent light was neatly cut open. The huge magic power suddenly collapsed, and the familiar disappeared. Intangible.
Lista coughed up a mouthful of blood, her knees weakened, and she knelt on the ground. At this time, Lanewood directly knocked open the door, hurriedly supported Lista, and shouted: "Milia, Go get my bag! I'll treat you!"
"immediately!"
"Lista! How are you doing? I wanted to come in, but the door was blocked. Something came into your room? Don't move! Don't lie down either!"
Lista coughed up a mouthful of blood again, and then nodded slightly to Lanewood: "I'm okay, father."
"You wait for me to treat you first."
Lanewood quickly prepared a suggested magic ritual. After Miria got the bag, he took out a bottle of colorful balls like candy. He took out a white and a green ball from it. The ball was placed in Lista's palm, and then she activated the magic book on her body and began to release healing magic.
Compared to others, the magic that Lionwood masters is of the "energy shaping" type, just like the one he used when he attacked Lu Ning in the last round. It may be lacking in pertinence, but it is better than anything else. .
Under the gentle healing light, Lista finally recovered from the physical pain. She spit out the remaining blood in her mouth, and then let Milia help her wipe away the blood on her body.
"Okay." Renwood let out a deep breath, looked around the room, helped Lista out of the house, and moved to a small living room next to her.
"Lista, what happened just now?"
"Father, there's something wrong with this island." Lista regained her previous composure, "The one who just attacked me should be a combat familiar, and the complexity of this familiar should be quite high. I didn't expect that this familiar... Is there anyone on the island who can create such a familiar?"
"you mean……"
"We'd better leave, father. There must be a way to leave now." Lista advised, "I have just verified that there are things that are beyond human beings on this island. I'm afraid we have been The eyes are fixed."
"Calm down, Lista." Lanewood cast a soothing spell, "Your thinking is still affected."
"That's because it is such a dangerous thing!" Lista massaged her temples, and Lu Ning could feel that the residual influence still remained on her body, which made her thinking begin to become less normal. Stablize.
"Lista, you need to block this influence first!" Lenwood said seriously, "You are not acting like usual now. How do you usually ask yourself? You must not be surprised when everything changes!"
"Yes...yes." Lista took a deep breath. After about ten minutes, Lu Ning felt that she had returned to normal.
"I think it's okay," Lista said to Lanewood.
"Okay, let's tell the story again."
This time, Lista was finally able to calmly tell everything that happened there, except that "Despair Express" only explained its function but not its origin. After finishing the story, Lista thought for a while and added: "The familiar that attacked me should be related to the abnormal situation I saw in the rain before, but I can't determine the specific cause."
"Do you think it will attack you again? Or will the problem be solved after killing this one?" Lenwood asked.
"I... need to verify the magic reaction." Lista closed her eyes slightly and pressed her palm on her stomach. After a moment, a slightly warm magic flow spread out from her stomach and quickly swept across it. Her whole body.
"It's not marked, so it should be the latter." Lista opened her eyes and said with certainty, "Even if the familiar's strength exceeds the standard, it still has to abide by the basic laws of magic."
"Okay, I will continue to deal with this matter tomorrow. You need to rest now, understand? Treatment can only heal your injuries, but the magic power and energy consumed will not be cured."
"Okay, Father." Lista stood up, "Now you should believe that there is danger here?"
"I have always believed, and I have always told you, that I am here for the benefits."
