I was the first person to reach the window. The branches outside the window swayed with the magical wind, making the black figure rushing into it looming. I slapped the window edge and jumped out.
"Miss Messiah!" At the same moment, Selin threw himself at the window. He seemed to be about to follow, but Wendell's moans in the house made him turn back anxiously.
"Go and treat him! Selin!" I shouted to him in a low voice.
"Wait!" The knight looked back again, gritted his teeth, took out something from his pocket, and threw it to me, "This is a tracking potion. Swear to me, you will be careful! I will follow you right away!"
"I swear." Taking two steps back, I sprinkled the bottle of potion on myself, then turned around and ran towards the woods in the night.

I have to be lucky that I have been running in the fields since I was a child. The soft soil and hard stones have trained me to be light and fast, but the black figure in front of me is not that fast, and he is also carrying two personal. However, although he was not fast, his pace was steady and silent. He seemed to know Dalaran very well, or to be more precise, he knew Dalaran very well at this time. Avoiding all the noisy battlefields, there was not a single figure or sound in the alleys, and there were even very few street lights.
I hung more than ten meters behind him, carefully concealing myself through the dim shadows along the way. I wasn't sure if he knew someone was following him. He always looked back. At this time, I would use the dance of death to hide in another corner. go.
Hopefully, he doesn't know I'm following him.

The black cloak seemed to be heading west. Compared to other urban areas that were full of smoke at this time, it was much quieter and more lonely here.
He got into a very narrow alley and arrived at a very remote place. I could see the city barrier twisting slightly behind the house.
I noticed that the fortress at my hand seemed to be covered with a layer of earth-yellow barrier. The fortress was tightly closed, not even a ray of light could shine through. I suddenly realized that this might be the place where criminals were imprisoned in Dalaran. I remembered that they called this place the Violet Castle.
Maybe I can find some help here?
But before I could think about it, the figure I had been following suddenly disappeared!
I was stunned for a moment and ran over immediately. At this moment, I am standing on the cold stone bricks. In front of me is the empty and dark stone road, and behind me is the empty and dark stone road. Oh my god, where are the others? !
At that moment, I suddenly heard a very slight sound. When I looked up, I was shocked to see a shadow wearing a black cloak lying on the wall. I recognized at a glance that he was not the one I was following. This man had a sharper chin, but they were wearing exactly the same black cloak!
At this moment, he was hanging upside down on the high wall like a bat. When he saw me looking up, I saw the corners of his purple mouth curl up. He grabbed the dagger in his hand and rushed towards my head from mid-air!
oh! I took a breath and stepped back immediately, but I found that the death dance had no effect on this person! Because his speed was so fast, in an instant, I saw his afterimages at several places where I expected to land!
Oh My God! what to do? ! I felt like I was hitting his blade!
No! No! ! No! ! !
"God of magic! He is not worthy of being a human being!" At that moment, just when I thought I was dead, I suddenly heard a thin voice chanting a curse!
The arcane light flashed, and I saw the man in the cloak suddenly turned into a sheep spinning in place!
"Hey~~" He roared angrily and hit his head against the wall, but his head was covered with thick wool, which prevented him from breaking the illusion during the impact.
saved!
I took a deep breath, landed lightly, turned around, and saw a very short figure. He jumped down from the broken wall on the other side. At this time, he was backlit, so I couldn't see. Looking at his face, "Who are you?!" I lowered my body warily.
"Who are you? What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" He held the short staff in his hand and came towards me. Suddenly, he stopped and said, "Wait a minute, are you the guy from Lord Luke's team?" Miss? Your name is that, that, that, that..."
I squinted my eyes and looked over carefully. It was a dwarf boy. He had a square face and a big nose, and he still looked childish. I stared at the burnt bangs on his forehead for a long time, and finally found the matching face deep in my memory, "Minigbu?!" I couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's right! I followed you all the way and thought you were a thief who wanted to do bad things!"
"That man, uh, that sheep was a real thief, and his accomplices kidnapped two children! Well, about the same age as you."
"I'm a reliable man! A powerful mage!" The dwarf boy frowned in dissatisfaction. He raised his feet and walked towards the sheep on the ground. "Where are his accomplices? And where are the children waiting for me to save?"
"I don't know, I lost him here."
The dwarf boy sneered, "I still have to take action!" He looked around, then put the staff behind his back and picked up a wooden stick as thick as his arm, "Hey!" He tilted his lips and smiled evilly, "Let's beat him now, until he says so!"
oh! I immediately followed him and grabbed his arm, "Are you a magician?! You will beat him awake!"
"What are you afraid of?" He glanced at me out of the corner of his eye, and raised a finger triumphantly, with a hot arcane energy on the tip of his finger. "Here, I'll give you the stick, hit it on the head! Hardly. Fight! As long as you give me four or five breaths, I can make him a sheep for the rest of his life!"
"Oh!" I couldn't help but show my teeth. I took the stick and weighed it in my hand. It fit well. "My name is Messiah. Happy cooperation."
Minigbu also showed his teeth, "It's a pleasure to cooperate."
The sheep was not far away from us, just spinning under the corner. Through his dark eyes, I could already see his fearful look.
But just when Minigbu in front of me was about to walk in front of him, he suddenly exclaimed and fell down as if he lost strength under his feet.
"Hey!" I was shocked, and immediately stepped forward and grabbed his arm, but I didn't expect that I also found that my feet were suddenly empty. The apparently smooth road was just an illusion, and my feet seemed to be in a bottomless abyss!
*
"ah!"
"Whoa!!" We seemed to be rolling down a slope, and we didn't stop until we hit the wall several times.
"...Oh..." At that moment, I felt terrible pain all over my body.
Minigbu fell beside me and was still shaking dizzy when he got up.
"...What the hell is this place...oh..." He sat down next to me.
I twisted my painful shoulders and looked around. It seemed to be a tunnel heading underground. I couldn't see the head when I looked up, and couldn't see the bottom when I looked down.
I touched the wall. It was indeed a thick rammed earth wall. I knocked on the floor tiles again. It was indeed paved with an extremely heavy stone that is most commonly used in Dalaran. All of that made me feel extremely incredible, "Where did we fall in from?!"
"Where are we?!" Minigbu was even more confused than me.
I knew he was unreliable, so I could only exhale and look around carefully again.
"Torch." I picked at the dent in the wall, stood up, and walked over. The flame is very stable, and the handle is inlaid with a dark tiger's eye stone.
"Magic is stored in the tiger's eye stone." I don't know when Minigbu came to me. He stood on tiptoe and took a look. "This is the magic torch in the sewer. It can burn all year round... Wait, we are now In the sewers?! The pattern around the tiger’s eye stone is a unique symbol of the sewers of Dalaran!”
"Sewer?!" I subconsciously looked around again, but there were only endless stairs. I didn't see the sewage that should have been flowing, nor did I smell the stench that should have permeated the air. "What do you mean? , we must have been fascinated by some illusion, right? The place where we fell was actually an uncovered sewer manhole, right?"
"...Probably."
Looking at the endless stairs above us again, I felt a little thirsty and said, "So, I hate mages. Aren't you a mage? Don't you understand?"
"Of course I am a powerful mage! Let me think about it... uh... I remember the teacher said that this type of illusion is... all arcane magic."
His words made me happy, "Then you..."
"But I only learned how to transform into a sheep." Minigbu said with a sad face, "Oh, my God! Let me think about it... I shouldn't have fallen asleep in class..." He rubbed his hair in distress, almost falling asleep. He turned his head into a bird's nest.
"You are really 'reliable'!" I gritted my teeth, "You..."
"That's right! Wait!" Suddenly, the dwarf's eyes lit up again and he raised his short index finger, "I remembered!"
That sentence made me stunned, but I couldn't help but be filled with hope, "...what?"
"The nodes of the magic circle! I remember the teacher said that to break a magic circle, you only need to break the nodes of the magic circle!"
I immediately looked around with bright eyes, "Where is the node?"
The dwarf touched his smooth chin, "I don't know."
...Hope seems to be shattered very simply.
I heard the dwarf continue to say, "We are stepping on the magic circle, and the nodes may exist anywhere."
"Anywhere?" My brows twitched, and for a moment, I wanted to punch him. "So, where is it?" I pointed at the endless identical upward stairs, and then pointed at the endless The exact same downward stairs, repeated word for word, "Where is it?!"
The dwarf blinked his bright eyes, and then sighed helplessly with me, "Let's go down." As he said that, he stood on tiptoe to reach the torch on the wall.
"It's quite bright down there..." I said subconsciously, but suddenly stopped.
Because, I noticed that when Minigbu tried to take down the torch with force, there seemed to be several shadows on the stairs in my field of vision.
"Huh?" He seemed to have noticed something and immediately let go of his hand. "Did you see it?" he asked suspiciously.
I didn't know what he was referring to, but I nodded anyway.
He frowned and thought for a moment, then stretched out his hand again. This time, a double image appeared on the stairs. At that moment, he couldn't help laughing, "I think I have found the node."
oh! I couldn't help but laugh, and immediately reached out to help him pull out the torch. When the heavy and hot handle left the shelf on the wall, I found that the steps in front and behind us were like powder, and suddenly dispersed, leaving only the dark front and back. Smooth road surface.
The sewage gurgled around us, and there was a damp and foul smell in the air. Looking up, I saw a deep purple light coming from a hole as thick as a person on the ceiling several meters high. It was the barrier of Dalaran.
"What did I say!" Minigbu laughed triumphantly with his hands on his hips, "Is there anything else I can't do?!" As he said that, he suddenly closed his mouth and his eyes widened in horror.
I was about to laugh at him, but his expression stunned me, "What's wrong?"
Without his need to answer, I already felt an evil wind coming from the front.
The wind was so cold that it seemed to freeze my soul into ice in an instant.
The gust of wind was so hot that it seemed to burn my body into ashes in an instant.
"Woo" The endless ghost cry came on the wind, making my mind feel empty all of a sudden.
I was dripping with cold sweat. When I came to my senses again, I felt as if I had been reincarnated countless times in hell and on earth.
Come on, what is it? ! Can you scare me out of my wits in an instant? !
Minigbu pointed to the dark front, his fingertips trembling, "That magic wave... what is it?! It doesn't belong to this world at all!"
