"Is this really a god?" I asked in surprise.
Nolan Lusi shook his head and said: "Of course he is not a real god. He only gained power because of the gathering of good expectations. In essence, he is still an object of sustenance."
"That's it..."
I was a little disappointed, because after coming to this different world, I still wanted to see if God really existed.
After that, the journey went smoothly. It was only when I gradually went deeper into the forest that I noticed that there seemed to be a few auras following behind me at a considerable distance.
To put it simply, if we leave, they will leave, and if we stop, they will also stop. If ordinary adventurers or herb collectors came here, they would never do something similar to our behavior.
What's the purpose?
"There seems to be someone behind us." I tilted my head and said to Nolan Lusi.
Nolan Lusi nodded matter-of-factly and said, "I already noticed it just now."
"You noticed it and didn't you tell me earlier?" I asked in shock.
"The main reason is that I want to experience what it feels like to be robbed..." Nolan Lusi coughed awkwardly and said, "And those guys are actually quite good, so I didn't care."
"……All right."
Condensing the magic power, he twisted his wrist and fingers, drew invisible symbols in mid-air, and then silently recited the magic incantation in his heart.
"Camus's shadow is hidden in the gods."
[Additional effectiveness? Camus’s invisibility]
Our form disappears.
In theory, this should be the case. However, people who have been subjected to the invisibility spell cannot actually confirm whether they are truly invisible by observing themselves, because if I am not mistaken, this magic actually does not use the transformation of light and shadow to achieve invisibility. The purpose is another more metaphysical force...
To put it simply, you can see yourself, and you can also see the caster. The only ones invisible are outsiders.
So in the eyes of those stalkers, we should have disappeared after passing by a patch of grass, right?
I patted Thurio on the shoulder and said in a relaxed tone: "Let's wait here for a while, there seem to be a few people following us."
"Wha, what!?" Thurio shook unconsciously, then widened his eyes and asked, "Is someone following us?!"
"No need to be so surprised..." I said helplessly, "Now that I have applied the invisibility spell on us, we can just wait for them to come over."
Thurio covered his mouth, then nodded and made a humming sound.
"...You don't need to be so cautious." I looked helplessly at the shy and timid shota, "Although they are stalkers, our purpose is just to catch them without alerting others."
"Is that so?"
"It's a good idea to catch them and ask them. After all, if we are followed, it means someone is interested in something among us." I said easily, "Ah, but my main idea can still be found by following the clues. Those people’s lairs were then destroyed without hesitation.”
"It's so exaggerated." Thurio said curiously.
"It's okay... they're getting closer." Nolan Lusi and I stood in the shade of a nearby tree, looking at the road in the forest.
After much thought, Thurios hid behind the tree, but Kellas was even more exaggerated. She jumped directly into the grass with a squeal. The skill of her movements surprised me...
Not long after we found our respective places, three unknown guys walked over quietly.
"Where have they gone?" The man in gray clothes with a shoehorn face looked at the road ahead and asked worriedly.
"Probably still in front." The man with a black face and a pockmarked face squinted his eyes and looked into the distance and replied casually.
"We won't get lost, will we?" The last person wearing a white shirt and black vest, who looked quite serious but had a sinister look on his face, asked worriedly.
"Impossible." The man with the pockmarked face vowed, "My hunter's instinct tells me that the prey is not far away!"
What is the hunter's instinct...
Seeing that those guys seemed to want to start talking as they continued talking, I sighed helplessly.
Then he pinched the black thorn, and blood seeped out of his hand and soaked in the thorn.
Protective thorn bush - Although it is a defensive magic, the inside and outside of the thorn bush are equally hard, so it can be used as a temporary prison.
"Who is there!" At the moment when Pockmarked Face reacted, black thorns broke out of the ground in an instant, intertwined around them, and turned into an indestructible cage according to my idea.
"This is probably the person you are chasing." I lifted the invisibility spell and walked out from the shade of the tree with Nolan Lusi, while Thurio was still hiding behind the tree trunk with some fear.
Kyle suddenly jumped out with a head full of leaves, and shouted loudly: "What about you? What about you! Why are you following me here in the wilderness? Do you have ulterior motives?"
Finished, I was just about to show off my superior demeanor, but I forgot that when I was thinking about it, Kyle Lath definitely jumped out based on instinct...
The muscles in my cheeks twitched slightly, and I looked at the three people who were stunned in the thorns, and said to them: "Although there is indeed a problem with the choice of words, the general meaning is still conveyed, so you understand what I mean, right? "
The three people in the cage shook their heads wildly.
Please cooperate! Let's use sentences like "nodded in fear" to improve the expression. Now I feel that my behavior is playing the piano to a cow. When it's over, no one thinks that this thing is as noble as playing the piano itself. Instead, they think I'm stupid!
"S-Sir! We didn't mean to follow you!" Shoehorn plopped down and knelt down quite skillfully, crying with runny nose and tears, "Sir, I have an eighty-year-old mother above me, and three children below me. A one-month-old son and a wretched wife——"
"Can you change this word to something new? I'm tired of hearing it all the time." I sighed and said, "Let's get to the topic quickly. Who sent you here?"
The three of them looked at each other, and just as they were about to speak, I said very softly: "If you tell lies, I will chop off my head for you."
Then he drew out his sword and slashed at the big tree next to him.
The leaves rustled down and the tree trunks fell.
The three of them were sifting through the thorns like chaff.
