I became a cannon fodder villain. If I want to survive, I must take care of my baby first.

The next day, after discussing with Mekalos, Manjushage decided to temporarily place Tesis in Liuguang City.

His body has been overwhelmed and could collapse at any time. Staying in the gospel area and being influenced by the bells every day may help him get better.

"If he is really a victim of the brutal rule of the Yangcaique family, I should take the responsibility to settle him down." After a period of rest, Mei Carlos looked much better than when he first met him a few days ago.

"I always feel like I'll have to leave before I can stay for long." Manjushage sighed.

"If you like, you can come back anytime later." Mei Carlos said with a smile.

"Well, see you later." I hope you can survive Grusel's crazy revenge, Manjushage thought.

"Please take care of yourselves, Mr. Luo Shiqi and Master Doyle."

"That's natural."

"Thank you for your care."

In fact, Mei Carlos was very grateful that they took the initiative to lend a helping hand when she was in trouble. If possible, she really hoped that Manjushage and her group could stay a little longer so that she could repay their kindness.

However, they all have their own things to do, and no matter how reluctant they are, they have to separate temporarily.

Doyle and Luo Shiqi were calm. They couldn't wait to go to the next place.

"By the way, there seemed to be some disturbance at the celebration last night. Others are busy dealing with these matters, so I'm afraid they can't come to see you off. Please forgive me." At this time, Mei Carlos seemed to notice that there were too few people around, so he explained.

Originally, Rujing, Erica and others were planning to come and see them off, but they seemed to have been busy since morning.

Mei Carlos might already know what happened in Liuguang City, but at this time, it is obviously better to pretend to be stupid.

After leaving Liuguang City, Manjushage and her group continued to move towards the royal capital.

In the carriage, Luo Shiqi seemed to have noticed something unusual and said with a puzzled expression: "Strange, the reaction disappeared."

"What's the reaction?" Manjushage asked in confusion.

"I also discovered that when I was traveling with Erica and the others, there were two very powerful and distinct dark magic auras on the carriage." Doyle, who was driving the carriage, interrupted.

"Why didn't I feel it?" asked Lycoris radiata.

Her ability "Blood Shadow" has at least half dark attributes, but she was completely unable to feel the magical reactions they were talking about.

"I guess the magic that controls Erica and the others is quite terrifying, and the blood in your body is suppressed." Luo Shiqi thought for a moment and replied.

"No way, how terrifying would that be--" Manjushage subconsciously wanted to say that after all, he was the most terrifying dark magician, and it was normal for Grusel to be better than her in this area.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly and changed her words so she was not trapped.

Seeing that Manjushage was not going to reveal the truth, Luo Shiqi and Doyle did not plan to continue testing, but the latter said lightly: "As for the other one, I have no clue at all."

"Could it be related to what the merchant who rented out the carriage said last time?" Manjushage suddenly remembered what the clerk in the shop had said before.

I originally thought that what he said about the carriage breaking down without anyone noticing was just a sales pitch, but now it seems that this might be the reason for this phenomenon.

Dark magic can invisibly corrode the surrounding objects.

Both Luo Shiqi and Doyle's magic had a natural restraining effect on the dark attribute, so the carriage did not show any signs of erosion or decay. But even so, they could still feel a strong reaction to the dark magic.

If what they said was true, then besides Grusel, there was another person whose dark magic was powerful enough to affect an entire area invisibly?

I really hope that the other party is just temporarily unable to control the overly powerful magic, and is not intentionally doing anything bad.

After all, having one Grusel is already enough of a headache, and no one can stand another one.

"Who knows?" Doyle spoke inexplicably awkwardly, as if he wanted to complain about Manjushage's previous deliberate concealment.

They probably didn't notice anything unusual at first, and only realized the potential danger after encountering the emergency in the clock tower. In the end, they still didn't figure out what had happened.

It also takes a while to get from Liuguang City to the capital. It was almost noon, and Doyle wanted to rest on the side of the road. As soon as he stopped the carriage, he heard someone arguing:

"It was agreed to be two strings of copper coins, why are you going back on your word?"

"I've already said that I didn't hear your request clearly before. The capital is not that safe now. How can you give this little money to a beggar?"

Manjusaka pulled open the carriage curtain and stuck her head out of the carriage: "What's going on?"

Doyle held his forehead with his hand and said, "It sounds like someone encountered a black-hearted driver and was asked to pay a high fee."

Luo Shiqi was a little confused about the situation: "In this case, wouldn't it be better to just change to someone else's carriage?"

"It's not that easy." Doyle shook his head. "There's no one here. Who knows if the person getting on the bus is a human or a ghost? If he's left behind halfway, I'm afraid he'll never get another ride."

He goes out every other day and is very familiar with this kind of thing.

Horse-drawn carriages usually only solicit business at post stations and occasionally stop to rest along the way, but they will never receive anyone.

Judging from the voice of the passenger, he was not very old. The black-hearted driver must have taken advantage of the fact that he was inexperienced and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to blackmail him.

"Do you want to go and take a look?" Manjushage didn't really know how to deal with this situation, so she could only ask Doyle for his advice.

"I finally found a quiet place, and I don't want to have people making noise while I'm resting." Doyle sighed. He went to bed too late yesterday and he was really tired and didn't want to change places.

The quarrel was not intense, but since the sound could be heard, it meant that they were not far away.

Following the direction of the sound, Doyle soon found the group of people arguing nearby.

He walked over impatiently and wanted to scold these people, but after seeing their appearance clearly, he was stunned for a moment.

"Fan Yin, and Wu Chang?" The young boy and girl who were arguing with a bearded uncle not far away with serious expressions turned out to be old acquaintances!

"Doyle?"

"Master Doyle."

The two people with slightly ugly faces heard Doyle's voice and looked over at the same time. The expressions on their faces changed from boredom to joy in an instant.

"You've come just in time!" Fan Yin hurriedly pulled Doyle over: "This guy is my friend, he's a very powerful magician, if you don't drive well and think about all kinds of crooked ideas all day long--"

Fan Yin poked Doyle with her elbow and hinted wildly with her eyes. He immediately understood and released the barrier, which continuously compressed the carriage, causing it to make a "creaking" sound.

"Wait, wait... please wait a moment!" The coachman obviously didn't expect that he would not only fail to extort money, but also lose his livelihood. He begged hurriedly, "I am blind, please let me go this time, please?"

"Hmph, you're smart." Doyle seemed to be very experienced in this kind of thing, and immediately put on an expression that said "I'm not someone you can mess with."

The driver wanted to say something else, but he saw a man and a woman walking behind Doyle.

The handsome man with a neutral look said calmly, "What? I thought we were going to fight."

After saying that, he threw out the golden flame that he had prepared long ago.

The flames that seemed to be light and would be blown away by the wind suddenly exploded with extremely terrifying energy waves the moment they hit the ground, creating a big hole on the spot and shaking the ground a lot.

The coachman who wanted to take the opportunity to extort money swallowed his saliva, and was glad that he didn't say anything too much, otherwise he would have been killed and the body dumped in such a remote place without anyone knowing.
