As the evening approached, Keech and his party arrived in another small town, Sunderland.

Since the magician who was sent to assist in post-disaster reconstruction and spring plowing had already arrived here before them, Calvin, Barosh and the others saved a lot of money and directly moved into the house arranged for the magician in the town. inside.

The town of Sunderland is smaller than the town of Sofia where Kiki stayed. The house was severely damaged, but there were very few injured, and there were no wounded or dead that Barosh needed to deal with.Barosh and Calvin made a brief inspection of the town. Seeing that the water source and the ruins were clean enough, the two went back to their residence to rest and planned to visit the surrounding countryside tomorrow.

Tina energetically took Kiki and Avella to the field outside the town to test her newly developed sprinkler. Several knights wanted to follow, but Tina dismissed them as "no need". go back.

——If you don't need me, that's fine.

Keech yawned and cursed secretly.He hadn't slept all day and night, and now he couldn't keep his eyes open.He really didn't understand where Tina's energy came from. Could it be that she took the spirit potion made by Avella when he didn't see it?

Being so sleepy, Keech almost broke the sprinkler when he was helping Tina install it. Tina gave him a slap in the face, chased him away, and called Avella to help her personally hands on.

Keech curled his lips, yawned and stood aside, habitually immersing himself in another perspective, so as not to fall himself because of being too sleepy.

Kiki was bored trying to meditate in this state, but the strange gaze he had felt in the carriage reappeared, making Kiki instantly alert and sleepless.

—Who, or what?

Keech felt silently while searching carefully, but the final result surprised him greatly.

——It turned out to be the sun in the sky that stared at him like a gaze? !

Keech couldn't help but doubt his feelings, but then he realized that maybe it wasn't his feelings that were wrong, but his judgment.

Just as the projection crystal is not the real source of prying eyes, what is looking at him at this moment may not be the real sun.

Someone was watching him through the sun!

—Is it a magician?

Keech was the first to think of Moriarty, but then dismissed the idea.Moriarty may also be watching him, but he has been watching him for so long and has never been noticed by him, so why is there such negligence at this moment.

—but if not Moriarty, who would it be?And why spy on him?

Keech thought suspiciously, and subconsciously spread his mental power to the surroundings, trying to find the real spy.

This kind of search still found nothing, but just when Kiki was about to give up, the vision that appeared not far away suddenly caught his attention.

--Metal?How could such dense metal elements appear on such a land?

——No, that's not ordinary metal, that's a weapon!

Kiki suddenly realized that it was a human man holding a sharp weapon like a crossbow, and his target... was not himself, but Tina!

"Beware!"

Before he had time to think about it, Kiki hurriedly broke away from another visual state, and rushed towards Tina, crushing her to the ground.

But just before Kiki's action, the crossbow in the man's hand was also shot out, and he rushed towards Tina's position.

Kiki threw Tina down, but he became the target of the crossbow arrow, and with a "pop", the crossbow arrow penetrated into the position of the left shoulder blade.

The moment the pain hit, Kiki couldn't help scolding himself regretfully.

Why did he throw Tina down?He should cast an ice shield to stop the arrows!

Fortunately, it's not too late to repent at this time. While enduring the pain of being pierced by metal, Kiki turned his attention to the person who fired the crossbow, and threw a freezing spell mercilessly, freezing the attacker. In place.

"Kiki!" Tina, who was pressed down by him, was completely panicked. First, she was very angry because the installation of the sprinkler was interrupted, and then she was frightened by the sudden burst of crossbow arrows and blood. He was so shocked that he subconsciously wanted to push Kiki away from him, but found that his hand was too soft to have any strength.

Kiki actually wanted to get away from Tina, but he was also so painful that he had no strength left. His entire left arm seemed to be out of control, and he couldn't do it even if he moved it. The freezing technique temporarily froze the left arm, making it completely unconscious.

"It's okay... don't panic..." Kiki tried to appease the two women who were already at a loss, and used the whirlwind technique to pull Avella to the ground, lest there were other assassins around who would target her.

"What, what should I do? Are you going to call for help?" Tina tried her best to control her panic, but she still couldn't hide the tremor in her voice.

Kiki was not as flustered as Tina. The experience Amir brought him was not in vain after all, coupled with the natural indifference and fearlessness in his blood, he immediately showed a difference when dealing with unexpected situations.

"How to shout? I can only control one person, if..." Kiki was not afraid, but worried that there were other assassins around, preventing him from protecting Tina and Avella at the same time.

After pondering for a while, Kiki came up with an idea, and immediately said to Avella: "Use the ring to ask for help! Write in the sky!"

"Give me the ring, I'll do it!" Hearing these words, Tina immediately came to her senses, and immediately took the ring from Avella's hand, put it on her own hand, and then concentrated all her mental energy towards the ring. On the highest part of the sky, "Help" was written in huge letters.

The mental power of an intermediate magician is far beyond that of an apprentice like Avella. The fiery red fonts linger in the sky for a long time, and soon attract the attention of others.

After a while, the sound of horseshoes and shouts came from the direction of the town.

"Tina! Keech! Avella!"

"Be careful around, there are assassins!" Tina immediately wrote a new sentence in the sky with her ring, and then released a fireball to mark her location.

Several knights rushed over first, immediately took out their weapons, and guarded their surroundings.

Calvin and Barosh followed closely, dismounted and ran to Tina and the others, and immediately saw Kiki's frozen left arm and the crossbow bolts on it.

"Who did it?!" Calvin roared furiously, no longer the usual gentleness.

"Over there, that guy should be trapped by my magic." Kiki raised his right hand and pointed in the direction of the attacker.

Calvin led several knights and rushed towards the direction Kiki pointed, while Barosh squatted down to check Kiki's injuries.

"Is he all right?" Tina asked uneasily.

"I can't die, I can lie on the bed for a few days at most." Barosh giggled, and then said to Kiki, "Get up, is it comfortable to lie on Little Tina?"

Hearing this, Tina blushed immediately, and glared at Barosh angrily, "How can you say such a thing, he is...to protect me...he is my apprentice!"

"Oh oh oh, it seems that I am busy." Barosh deliberately elongated his tone.

Keech, however, didn't care to listen to their bickering, propped himself up with his right arm, and asked Barosh, "Is it... safe?"

"Don't worry, little guy, at least, I didn't find any other dangers." Barosh replied.

But that gaze was still watching here, Kiki thought, but Barosh has come, Calvin and so many knights, even if there is still danger, they should be able to deal with it.

Thinking of this, Kiki couldn't help closing his eyes and relaxing his body.

Either way, let him sleep first.

He was so sleepy.

This sleep seems to have been sleeping for a long time. When he opened his eyes again, Kiki found himself lying on the bed, the clothes on his body had not changed, even his left arm was still frozen, and the crossbow arrow that was shot into his left shoulder was also intact. Insert it there without moving.

——Is there no one to help me treat the wound?

Keech thought gloomily, and found himself lying on his stomach again, as if to avoid touching the wound.

Before Kiki could think about it further, a snow-white and delicate hand had been stretched out in front of him, shaking before his eyes.

Kiki raised his head in doubt, but Avella was watching him with surprise.

"Avella? Well, how long have I been asleep?" Keech asked with a frown.

Avella raised two index fingers, gestured in front of him, then turned and ran out of the room, as if to call for someone.

—Is it a day and a night?

Keech thought uncertainly.If it has been so long, why is the stomach not hungry and the mouth not feeling thirsty?

Keech was suspicious, and there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and then the door was pushed open, and the one who walked in the front was Amir who was supposed to stay in Yani City.

Kiki suddenly became nervous. The last thing he wanted to face was Amir, and what he didn't even want was to face Amir and Tina at the same time. But at this moment, these two people appeared in front of him at the same time.

Of course, there are also Barosh, Calvin, and two other magicians who came to Sunderland earlier than them.

"Have you finally had enough sleep? Little one?" Barosh giggled, then turned to Tina next to him and said, "I told you, he just fell asleep because of sleepiness, but you don't believe me, now ask yourself Bar."

Tina glared at Barosh angrily, but couldn't help asking Kiki, "Are you really asleep?"

"...I haven't slept all day and night." Kiki innocently looked at the culprit who caused his lack of sleep, and immediately thought, no, counting another day, it should be two days and one night.

"So you slept for a day and a night." Amir interjected coldly, walked up to Kiki, gave him a shut-up look, and then said to the others: "The Barosh magician left to help Kiki. Deal with the wound, the others should stop crowding here, and go back to do their own thing, including you, Tina."

Tina opened her mouth, as if she wanted to resist, but in the end she didn't say anything, she closed her mouth, and led Avella out of the room honestly.

The others also left. Before leaving, Calvin said to Amir, "Call me if there is poison on the crossbow, I should be able to help."

"Thank you." Amir nodded, sent Calvin out of the room, closed the door, turned around, gave Kiki a cold look, and then said to Barosh, "Help him deal with the wound."

"Then let him remove the freezing spell on his arm first." Barosh said, "I hope it's your own spell, little guy, if it's the effect of a crossbow bolt, then we'll be in big trouble."

Keech propped himself up on his right arm, sat up from the bed, glanced at Amir again, and then said hesitantly, "I think I can handle it all by myself."

"Get out the crossbow by yourself, and let Barosh treat the wound for you." Amir said like an order.

— Well, I know what to do.

Kiki heard the hint in Amir's words, curled his lips, and gradually eliminated the freezing technique on his arm, then held the exposed part of the crossbow bolt with his right hand, narrowed his eyes, and secretly separated it from his own flesh, Then he bit his lip and yanked outwards, completely pulling out the crossbow bolt from his body.

Blood gushed out unavoidably, and the pain hit his heart again. Kiki didn't dare to continue using the power, so he could only bite his lips tightly to avoid screaming out in pain.

A big hand reached out, hugged him into his broad chest, and stroked the back of his neck in a comforting manner.

"Amir, why are you here?" Kiki couldn't help asking.

"It's impossible to hide such a big thing that the magician was attacked, not to mention that the target of the attack was Tina." The owner of the palm said coldly, "Not only me, but even President Fernando already knew about it, but he couldn't do it like this." Hurry up, let me come over first to check what's going on - Barosh, can you hurry up?"

"He's so young, he won't die if he bleeds a little more." Barosh next to him replied unhurriedly, while using scissors to cut open Kiki's magic robe, strip off the excess clothes, and completely expose the wound come out.

"Don't use your elemental bugs, I don't need them!" Kiki interrupted hastily.

"It's just such a small wound, I'm reluctant to use it if you want to use it!" Barosh replied disapprovingly, then took out an ordinary hemostatic medicine from his toolbox, and applied it to Kiki's wound.

Amir also raised his hand at this time and completely stripped Kiki's upper body clothes so that Barosh could bandage his wound.

But the feeling of being naked in Amir's arms made Kiki very uncomfortable, and he couldn't help thinking of the day when he was kissed by Amir.Although he was wearing clothes at the time, Amir saw his naked body and attacked his body before he was kissed. He didn't feel anything at the time, but when he thought about it later, he felt his face getting hotter the more he thought about it. .

——Why did Amir treat him like that?

Thinking of this, Kiki's face temperature rose again uncontrollably, so that he could only bury his head deeper in Amir's arms, so as not to be seen by Barosh behind him.

Barosh didn't notice his abnormality, but Amir, who was closer to Kiki, noticed the blush at the base of Kiki's ears, and immediately raised his arms to wrap his whole head around him.

At first glance, it looked like the elder was comforting the young man, but the one being comforted became more and more uneasy.
