Empty.
No, it clearly hit the young man, but the sword passed through his body, as if he did not exist in this space, but only remained an image here.
The failure of the must-win sword made Nolan Lesi slightly surprised, but it was only a surprise. With just a slight change of hand, she had already swung the dark sword and swept it across. She wanted to say why it was swung... Now Nolan Lanlesi's movements really looked like she was holding a stick, but I could see clearly that it was clearly a sword.
In short, things are very strange.
So, it failed again.
This time the sword also passed through Ortiz's body, as if they didn't exist at all.
Ortiz spit out a large mouthful of blood, then looked at us and said: "Don't fight, don't fight! It hurts too much. ... This is enough to calm the fire. We are not necessarily enemies!" "
……ha?
Just when I was stunned, she had already pulled the young man's clothes and gradually disappeared.
Nolan Lusi frowned slightly and watched them leave helplessly.
Just when I walked in and planned to ask, Nolan Lusi spoke softly.
"The two of them were theoretically no longer in this space just now." The long black sword instantly turned into fragments of black and disappeared with the wind. She looked at the direction in which the two people disappeared and said with some seriousness, "Is it magic... Or the girl named Ortiz?”
"It's really troublesome." I still didn't put away my sword, but I was alert for possible attacks.
Nolan Lusi glanced at me, curled her lips and said, "Okay, stop pretending to be cautious there, everyone has run away."
"I still think it's more prudent..." I raised my hand to try to show that it was still useful.
At least I've blocked my position, right? The two of them absolutely didn't dare to rush towards me and could only run back. That's why they installed Nolan Lusi, right?
"The little girl made a mistake just now. They used the shadow world to escape, and they will definitely leave traces in the shadow world." Nolan Lusi stretched out her hand as if she was about to catch up.
"Wait, wait, my tolerance for the shadow world is very poor. I can only hold on for five seconds. After five seconds, I will fall into a state of gibbering and madness..." I coughed awkwardly and said.
Nolan Lusi's hand that was drawing the talisman stopped immediately. She turned her head, glanced up and down, and then slightly covered her mouth with her hand——
"Pfft."
"...Stop covering your mouth, you are just laughing and your voice is showing." I said expressionlessly.
The corners of Nolan Lusi's mouth curved slightly in a rather unrestrained manner, and then she said in a fuss: "Oh no, you can only hold on for five seconds. That's not good!"
"you--"
She smiled softly and said, "Before you plan to speak, it's better to think about your own strength."
...The strength is amazing!
Sorry, being strong means you can do whatever you want.
"...How about we divide our forces into two groups." I wisely chose not to face Nolan Lusi, because I really couldn't beat her.
Wait until the day I can beat her!
so I!
so I!
so I……
"Then what, let's do this. Villier and I will continue to follow our previous ideas and go to the merchants that the pirates told us to investigate. You and Kellas will follow the traces of the shadow world to track them." I continued. Said above.
Don't think about these things for now, because I still can't figure out how to surpass the Demon King in strength. Instead of fantasizing, it's better to be realistic...
"What, you and Viril?" Nolan Lusi frowned, "This...hey, it does seem a bit appropriate?"
"What did you originally want to say?"
"No, just simply thinking about the feasibility of the task." Nolan Lusi said with her hands on her hips.
I usually set all the tasks. I will think about the feasibility of which task you want.
"what about now?"
"I think it's quite appropriate." Nolan Lusi turned her head and continued drawing runes, "Just leave it like that."
...I always feel as if Nolan Lusi suddenly became unhappy. Why?
In desperation, I was still going to take the list I had managed to get before and prepare to do something.
The troops were divided into two groups. I quickly went down the mountain and came to the Adventurers Association. I took the previous list and started to inquire.
That's right, just asking.
Because I really don’t know much about this city, and I don’t know these businessmen at all.
The main reason why I did not choose to inquire about the Merchant Association was because I was afraid that someone was monitoring this place. As a place with a highly mobile population, the Adventurer Association should have many people who have accepted similar tasks like us before. .
Afterwards, it was exactly as I expected.
There is no need to go directly to the businessman to alert him, because I don't need to be so direct yet, but to make some insinuations to get some facts.
These facts alone are enough for me to judge something.
"It's not quite right. There's something very strange here."
The question I have been doubting before...
It is true that these people were attacked by pirates, but these people were basically recruited temporarily. There were even a few businessmen who were robbed many times and still acted as if nothing had happened, and continued to pack up various goods and transport them. these things.
It's like there's nothing to lose.
Then there's Pearson's moves.
Compared with others, Pearson's behavior seems to have some strange differences from theirs. The most obvious place is what he said about the warehouse.
After I randomly found a businessman, I secretly investigated his industries, only to find that there was no situation like Pearson at all, and that Pearson was more like a poor imitator, living outside the group and pretending to be the group. among the people.
Just when Nolan Lusi failed to track her and ran back to join us, I suddenly remembered the people I met when I first came to this city.
That Bill... no, to be more precise, he was a businessman who made others show fear. Although their conversation seemed strange at the time, if someone listened to it, the meaning would become different.
Falcon.
This person did not appear on the list provided by the pirates, which is contrary to my previous guess that the dealer was also a transporter.
Things are getting troublesome...
"Do you have any ideas?" Nolan Lusi patted me on the shoulder and asked, "I don't know where those two guys went just now. The Shadow World Favorite is really amazing. He obviously took one person with him. In the Shadow Realm, it’s as fast as teleporting.”
