Early the next morning (probably a little before the sun reached its highest point), Annie was already wandering on a sparsely populated street in Priestela, the city of Watergate.
At this time, Emilia and the others must have gone to the city hall for a meeting with Anastasia. Anne was originally invited, but she did not go along because she was not interested in the meeting at all. Neither did, nor did they care about what those guys were going to discuss, so in the end they just let Ram and Rem follow them to watch the fun.
"Uh huh huh~♪"
₍₍٩(ᐛ)۶₎₎♪
Regarding last night's competition, the challenge that the red-haired man named Reinhardt challenged her, there was no suspense for Anne, and there could be no suspense.
Although the opponent tried his best to get all kinds of protections for her before starting the competition, like:
The protection of the sword master, the protection of dodge, the protection of demons, the protection of fire, the protection of wind spirit, the protection of earth, the protection of water spirit, the protection of darkness, the protection of light, Preliminary protection, first sighting protection, second coming protection, night protection, thunder protection, poison resistance protection, phoenix protection, etc...
In short, in order to fight against her, before the official competition began, the opponent frantically stacked various protections (BUFFs) regardless of the strange looks in others' eyes, and also used almost all the BUFFs that could reduce various magic damage, increase one's own protection, and The protection that increases one's own attack or the enemy's attack is superimposed, just like a 'hang ratio' that is activated?
But it's a pity that the guy on the other side who cheated found the wrong person to challenge after all.
Although the opponent's "hang" is indeed very powerful, but when he met Annie, a guy who is equal to or even much higher than the world manager (GM), in the end, his "hang" was cut off by the table leg before he had time to fight back. Apart from being knocked to the ground, beaten violently, and finally passed out beautifully, there was definitely no other possibility.
You know, Anne spent a lot of effort to break up the messy BUFF on the opponent that seriously affected the magic healing effect. In the end, she even broke the table leg. Maybe Dozens or hundreds of blows before and after?
Fortunately, in the end, before she broke the table legs, she was able to clearly offset the opponent's BUFF.
Then, Felix Argyle, the cat-eared man of the Karlsten family, the leading healing magic user in the Lugnica Kingdom, and the youngest successor to the title of the highest-level healer "Ao" Only then was he able to go forward and treat the other party without any hindrance.
On the second day, that guy must be hiding in the inn room with a bruised face and a bruised face, afraid to come out to see anyone, right?
Anyway, Anne felt that even if the cat-eared male knight was the highest-level healer, he would definitely not be able to heal the opponent's injuries so easily.
"??"
"Well!?"
Just as Annie was walking along this street and preparing to skip to another city, an old lady who was carrying fish in a small boat at the dock of the waterway under the street steps saw her.
"Hey! Little one!"
"That's right, I mean you!"
"The road over there is impassable, you'd better come back quickly and go around here!"
"Go over there, there's a bridge over there!"
Then, while the kind man continued to move things from the boat, he reminded Anne, the little girl who knew at a glance that she was not from the neighborhood.
"bridge?"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
"People don't need to use bridges!"
(｡•̀ꌂ-)✧
Playfully making a face at the kind aunt, Anne continued walking forward without minding it at all, because she didn't want to take a long detour at all. She just wanted to go straight through the huge central road from here. The large waterway that divides the city into four leads directly to the urban area on the other side.
She had heard from the short cat-eared girl Mimi Palbaton, the deputy leader of the Iron Fangs under Anastasia Hessin, that the business in the city opposite was more developed, and there were more There are a lot of good things for sale, and there are also more delicious things, such as restaurants, pubs and street snacks with different styles and characteristics?
"well!"
"There will be times when you regret it!"
Seeing that the little girl was unwilling to listen to the advice of a local, she still stubbornly continued to move forward. The kind-hearted aunt didn't feel like saying anything more, so she just shook her head, wiped her sweat, and continued working. Carrying her things.
"..."
After a while, when the aunt finally finished moving her goods, and when the boat slowly left the loading dock of this small neighborhood under the drag of a water dragon, the aunt finally became free and moved again. He looked in the direction where a little girl left just now.
"strangeness……"
"Why haven't you come back yet..."
"Did you fall into the waterway?"
After hesitating for a while, out of instinctive concern, the somewhat confused aunt who lived in this neighborhood thought about it, then looked at the work that had been done at hand, and looked at the things piled up at the dock but in no rush to move. After going to the market to sell fish, she sighed, put down the tools in her hands and walked up the steps, preparing to look forward to see the situation.
"!!"
However, when she walked forward along the street until she came to the edge of the large waterway connecting the main entrance, she did not see the little girl.
"How, how could it be possible?!"
"not……"
"Did he really fall down?"
Looking at this deserted dead end road, I was very sure that I didn't see the little girl just back. The kind lady couldn't help but hold up the guardrail on the roadside and face the waterway below that was rolling and flowing like a big river. Read on.
Unfortunately, she saw nothing except the large and small water dragon boats that came and went in an orderly manner below.
"well……"
"I just told her..."
"I should have stopped her..."
I looked at the river below again, then looked to the left and right, and found that there was no place to hide people on both sides, and no door or window of any house opened towards this side. I had no choice but to shake my head and sigh. Taking a breath, she regretfully walked towards the small dock in her neighborhood where goods were still piled.
…
"Yeah, yeah, yeah~!"
(｡◝～◜｡)
"Delicious!!"
ꉂ(๑✪ꇴ✪)✧
What the kind-hearted aunt didn't know was that while she was grieving and regretting a little girl who might have fallen into the river and suffered a terrible fate, the person she cared about, that troubled little girl, was now... At that time, I was already wandering around and eating in this area of the city on the other side of the main waterway.
(…)
(●￣(ｴ)￣●)
That's right, although that road is a dead end, and although the river leading to the main entrance is very wide, it may be at least two to three hundred meters wide?
However, for Anne, a great arcane mage, she did not need any special means at all. With just an ordinary thought, she easily appeared here from the end of the road where the aunt was. The city on the edge is integrated into the crowds of people coming and going, so there is no need for such boring things as 'bridges'.
"really!"
(๑‾ꇴ‾๑) Hehe!
"Tibbers, we are right not to go to the meeting!"
↜(ψ｀▽′)o
"What fun is there in a meeting? Where can I go shopping and buy something to eat and have fun?"
♪٩(´ᵕ｀๑)۶⁾⁾
As she continued to walk forward, Anne did not forget to sneer at the guys who wanted to invite her to the city hall.
Why don't they think about it, is Archmage Anne the kind of stupid guy who spends her time in meetings and wastes her life instead of doing anything serious?
Although it was said that there was something important, she was neither an official or aristocrat of the kingdom, nor a candidate for the king's election, nor the lord of this city. Therefore, she didn't want to care if anything happened here. She just followed. Emilia and the others are just tourists who come here to play together.
As a tourist, eating, drinking and having fun is what she should do, like now?
As for the boring things of conquering enemies, protecting the city, and protecting the citizens, it is the officials, nobles, lords, and candidates for the throne who should worry about it. She will not waste an entire morning on those things. !
(…)
(●￣(ｴ)￣●)
(Tibbers said that for his bad little master, most of the morning was spent in dreams, and the remaining half was wasted just wandering around. , it’s past noon now, it doesn’t matter whether it’s wasted or not.)
"Eh?"
!(;ﾟoﾟ)o
"There seem to be a lot of people over there. Did something interesting happen?"
|˛˙꒳˙)?
At this time, while walking around, Anne suddenly discovered that deep in the square in front, there was a particularly conspicuous minaret in the street. The minaret was inlaid with magic engraved crystals, and it was on top of the 'Tower of Time' similar to a clock tower. , there is a weirdo with his head and body covered with bandages, wearing a dark red robe characteristic of the Witch Cult, with flat chains wrapped around his wrists and hooks on them, who is shouting loudly below. The crowd was saying something.
Then, the other party quickly succeeded in mobilizing the emotions of the onlookers, causing more pedestrians to gather, and the atmosphere at the scene gradually became more lively.
"??"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
"Tibbers, what is that guy, that strange mummy woman with bandages doing? Why does she want to connect everyone's emotions together?"
(｡•ˇ‸ˇ•｡)
However, before she walked over, Anne could tell at a glance that under the influence of some kind of magic or skill of the weirdo, all those who heard the other party's words were invisibly controlled and connected together?
"It looks like it's fun!"
๑乛◡乛๑
This situation is already obvious. Anne can probably guess it without even thinking. That weird guy definitely wants to do bad things!
so……
(๑‾ꇴ‾๑)Hey hey!
In line with the principle of the conservation of happy energy that you will be happy when others are unhappy, Anne decided: she would secretly make trouble and cause trouble for the other party, and at the same time, she would also be happy. Have some fun for yourself by the way!
"..."
୧(‾◡◝)୨ꔛ♩
After making the decision, Annie smiled slyly, holding her little bear Tibbs in one hand, and holding the bag of hot and delicious barbecued jerky she had just bought in the other hand, and trotted over there following the sound, and quickly Smoothly squeezed into the crowd.
'Um…..'
'Uh-huh! '
'yes……'
'It's so embarrassing...'
'Hello! '
'Don't cry, don't cry, little one, you are a boy, how can you cry? '
'A man can only cry three times in his life, you are breaking the rules now...'
'...'
'Don't cry, don't cry, remember, you are the best! '
When she got closer, Anne discovered: The strange woman with her head and body covered with bandages seemed to be comforting a crying little kid on the high tower?
What's interesting is that while the other party is comforting the little kid, he is also constantly controlling and mobilizing the emotions of the surrounding bystanders, so that their lives and emotions follow the other person and the little kid being comforted by the other party. Connected together and gradually strengthening the resonance.
"..."
(ー△ー；)
Looking at the crowd around the clock tower that easily became excited and fanatical for no apparent reason, and then looking at the weirdo who was talking and making small moves, Anne became more confident and knew what the other person wanted to do.
However, she still had no intention of stopping it.
"..."
(￣～￣)Chew!
She just continued to chew her delicious food while watching the other party continue to perform this hard on top.
'Ah~! Ah~! '
'thanks, thanks! '
'It's really great...'
'Now everyone must understand that this little boy, Ruth Bell's behavior has "love". Now, let us all continue to understand deeply and integrate into one? '
'ah…..'
'This trembling anger in my heart is passion! '
'If this serious sin that makes people commit mistakes is the retribution of the past life that cannot be separated no matter what, then it should fill people's hearts with great joy! '
'Now! '
'Let this great moment unite your hearts as one! ! '
'Embrace this gentle world together! ! ! '
For a long time, after the bandage weirdo had been struggling for a long time, when Anne began to be confused by the other party's confusing language logic and strange brain circuits, and when other people around her began to raise their arms crazily and shout, Gao Gao The bandaged man on the tower suddenly lifted up the little kid who had finally been comforted by her and stopped crying, and threw him high into the sky.
"??"
(ー`´ー)
"Boring~!"
(￢д￢.)
Use sound to connect the emotions of the people watching the melon, control everyone's hearts, interfere with normal thinking, and then connect the souls and share the damage. Finally, the starting point of the connection will be thrown from the sky. In this way, when you see each other What she had to do was indeed similar to what she had just guessed, so Anne curled her lips in disdain.
"..."
(｡◝～◜｡)
However, she still didn't take action.
She didn't help the little kid, nor stop or attack the weirdo. She just continued to stand aside and eat her food, and watched with everyone else's eyes as the little body made free fall and fell heavily. On to the floor of the square.
Bang~! !
A muffled sound!
Under everyone's gaze, the little body hit the steps on the ground hard.
…
But soon, what made a certain bandage geek and everyone feel incredible was that the little body slowly climbed up as if nothing had happened, and looked around blankly and silently. people watching him.
"??"
On the high tower, the bandage weirdo also felt a little unbelievable.
She saw that not only was the little guy she had just thrown away not dead, but at the same time, the poignant scene where everyone's bodies were instantly shattered due to shared injuries did not happen?
"!!"
Sudden!
The bandage weirdo senses the danger...
Poof~! !
At that moment, the bandage weirdo seemed to have been hit by a train. His whole body suddenly stiffened and he assumed an exaggerated straight posture. As a mouthful of blood spurted out far away, his whole body also lost strength. , and then fell down from the tower.
"!!"
"Uhhhhhh~!!"
But unfortunately, I don’t know if she is gifted or has a lot of HP?
Anyway, after suffering the huge backlash damage, she survived quickly, and at the moment when she was about to land, she swung the chain hook on her hand and hooked a pillar of the clock tower, and then used the time when she fell to It rolled and swung with great force, and then swung extremely awkwardly towards the distance, like Spider-Man, swinging far away and disappearing in a few moments.
"..."
"..."
"..."
And after the bandage weirdo escaped, soon, the onlookers in this square finally came to their senses due to the disconnection, and began to look at each other at a loss. , completely unaware of what just happened.
"ha!"
(*^▽^*)
"Tibbers, that weirdo is so funny. The backlash from so many people was superimposed on him, and he didn't even die?"
(´◠◡◠`)
That's right, it was Annie who secretly played a trick just now, causing the damage of everyone who was originally connected together and was supposed to be counterattacked at the same time to be concentrated on the initiator, the bandage weirdo!
But it's a pity that even Anne didn't expect that the bandage weirdo would be so tenacious and survive the backlash from so many people. This was indeed a bit beyond her expectation. .
"Let's go!"
*٩(๑´ᵕ`)و
"Tibbers, let's continue shopping!"
ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ
If it's not dead, then it's not dead. Anne was just waiting for an opportunity to cause trouble. She didn't care whether the other party was dead or how badly he was injured!
Therefore, after taking a look at the onlookers who had just begun to react and discuss loudly, she didn't want to explain that she had saved them, let alone wait for the thanks of those idiots, so she turned around and walked out of the crowd. , minding his own business and skipping towards another neighborhood.
₍₍٩(ᐛ)۶₎₎♪
Now Anne finally knows why Emilia and the others were invited to Priestela, the Watergate City. It turns out that there are indeed people from the Witch Cult operating and causing trouble here, like the bandage weirdo just now?
but……
That kind of thing is not important to her. Anyway, it is far inferior to eating, drinking and having fun. She, the Archmage Anne, will not pay attention to such small things all day long!
At most, if she still remembers it when she goes back at night, she can just go back and tell Emilia and the others?
Of course, the probability of not remembering may be higher...
