Devil's Playground

"Perhaps?" Lily raised her eyebrows immediately, "What does it mean?"

Charlie looked hesitant again, but this time he answered quickly with determination, "I... I might be able to ask my teacher for help, but I'm not sure if he will help me."

Lily's eyes lit up, and she said immediately: "Although I don't know who your teacher is, and I don't know whether he will help you, but I know that if you don't ask him for help, he will definitely not help you."

"He..." Charlie glanced at Lin Yu, "He is an alchemist."

Yang Jin and the others were taken aback for a moment, puzzled by Charlie's nervousness.Except for the conch, everyone knows that there was a "witch hunt" bloody incident at the end of the Middle Ages, and the initial target was not only witches, but wizards would also be burned to death.But judging from what they saw and heard after they entered the game field, the witch hunt should not have started yet, and everyone's attitude towards witchcraft is only reverence and awe.

You know, they just defeated a demon, and they also used spells equivalent to witchcraft in the battle. After that, they didn't see any abnormalities in the residents of the town, and they didn't encounter any trouble when renting the carriage.It can be seen that in this game field, ordinary people are not as afraid of demons as a noble lord.

"What happened to the alchemist?" Lily asked bluntly.

Charlie was also stunned, "He's an alchemist, a kind of wizard!"

"What's the matter with the alchemist?" Lily frowned, then raised her hand, condensed a small ice pick with her mental strength, and let the ice pick float in her palm, "I'm still a witch!"

Charlie opened his mouth wide and looked at Lily in surprise and envy.

When I was at the Three Feathers Hotel, because the opponent was not strong, the three legal professions did not make a move. Only Joe and Conch knocked down the hotel owner and his subordinates. Charlie didn't see Lily's ability, Just think of her as a kind-hearted and nosy noble lady.Seeing Lily cast magic at this moment, Charlie realized that the group of people in front of him were actually much more powerful than he thought.

But in the next moment, Charlie came back to his senses and asked tentatively, "Aren't you from our Highland Kingdom?"

——What is the Highland Kingdom?

Lily, Yang Jin and the others were taken aback again, but they quickly realized that this should be the name of Charlie's country.

"Why do you ask that?" Lily pushed the question back.

"Because everyone in the Highland Kingdom knows that our Majesty the King doesn't like witchcraft and everything related to witchcraft. After he succeeded to the throne, he began to expel wizards, so my teacher had to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests to avoid His Majesty's eyes and ears." Charlie explained.

"That's strange." Lily said suspiciously, "When I killed that goat, I used witchcraft in front of the whole town, and I didn't see how surprised they were!"

"This is a matter between the king and the wizard, and it has nothing to do with the common people!" Charlie replied naturally.

Before the words finished, Lin Yu interjected and asked, "Your two elder brothers also hired wizards as teachers like you, right?"

"How do you know?" Charlie opened his mouth in surprise.

"A table that can serve food automatically, a donkey that can spit out gold, and a stick that can beat people by itself. These are obviously wizards' things. It is impossible for ordinary people to have them, isn't it?" Lin Yu said lightly, "Maybe You should find a way to contact your two elder brothers to see if they can come to help. At least tell them about this, so that they can prepare to flee for their lives."

"Escape, why?" Charlie asked in surprise.

"Are you going to stay in the town and wait for the count to take revenge? You know, we can't protect you forever!" Lily immediately continued, "Even if we can rescue your father before he is imprisoned in the castle, This matter will definitely reach the Earl's ears, unless you kill all the insiders, including the Earl's minions who robbed your father, and the entire Green Town residents."

"Do not--"

"Of course it's impossible." Lily said, "It's nothing more than the earl's minions. The people in this town are more innocent than your father."

"I do not know……"

"We can talk about these things later, let's find a way to rescue your father now." Lin Yu interrupted Charlie's defense, "By the way, how do you contact your teacher? Do you need us to avoid it?"

"...No need." Charlie pulled out an ornament from his neck, which looked like a necklace pendant that could be put in a photo.

As expected, Charlie opened it, but there was no photo inside, only a small mirror.

"Oh, nasara bang!" Zha conceived a strange incantation, and the mirror that could have clearly illuminated people immediately blurred, and not long after, a voice came from inside.

"What's the matter, tell me quickly!"

Yang Jin was sitting at a position where he could see the mirror. When he glanced around, he found a little old man in the mirror. He had a long beard and a small head. He looked like a common dwarf in fantasy novels.But the little old man's expression didn't look very good, he was scratching his beard anxiously, as if he was upset about something.

"Teacher, I...I need your help." Charlie said nervously.

"Help me, tell me quickly!" the little old man asked impatiently.

"I..." Being urged by him, Charlie didn't know where to start.

"Hurry up, brat, I'm running for my life!" the little old man roared angrily.

Charlie was startled immediately, but before he could ask any more questions, the little old man let out an ah, with a look of surprise on his face, "By the way, where are you now, your hometown?"

"G... near the town of Green." Charlie replied in a daze.

"Great!" The little old man laughed loudly, the mirror went dark immediately, and then there was a muffled bang in the crowded carriage, and a short white-bearded old man appeared.

"What the hell is this place?!" Finding himself in a small space surrounded by a group of people watching, the little old man suddenly became nervous, grabbed the small mirror in his hand, and put on a defensive posture.

"Teacher!" Charlie was also taken aback. He came back to his senses when he heard the little old man's words, and quickly explained, "They are my friends!"

"Let me explain." Lily patted Charlie on the shoulder and briefly introduced the cause and effect.

After hearing Lily finished speaking, the little old man squinted his eyes, turned his eyes around the six of them, and quickly asked: "You guys are capable at first glance, and your background is unusual, how could you be willing to risk offending a man?" The risk of the noble earl to help me, a worthless little apprentice?"

"He is a good man, smart, kind and brave." Lin Yu held Lily who was about to speak, and praised Charlie in a calm tone, "Even a god would be happy to help such a person."

The little old man tried his best to control the expression on his face, but he still couldn't help raising his beard. He was obviously very proud that Lin Yu could see the merits of his apprentice.

But Lin Yu didn't want to praise him any longer. He changed his voice and brought up the current situation again, "We need to stop the Earl's minions as soon as possible, but we don't have any horses that can catch up with them. Charlie said you might have a way."

"How long have they been gone?" asked the little old man.

"It's been a whole day." Lin Yu replied.According to the information provided by the residents living in the tailor's house and the mayor's description, the tailor was taken away yesterday evening.

"All day..." The little old man thought for a while and said quickly, "It should be too late."

"Teacher, do you have a solution?" Charlie asked in surprise.

"Yes." The little old man flipped his fingers and put away the mirror, "However, I am also in a little trouble now, and I may need your help."

"Please say."

"I am being chased by some inexplicable guys. If they catch up again during the rescue process, you have to help me stop them so that I can escape."

——The people here are actually more willing to help you kill them.

Yang Jin thought secretly.

But Lin Yu didn't answer directly, and turned to look at Lily, and she, the "master", promised to help.

After getting the guarantee, the little old man immediately opened the door and jumped out of the car.

"Come with me, we need to find a bigger place."

The little old man obviously had something like a storage bag on his body.After getting out of the car, he carried Yang Jin and the others on his back, and after a while, a magic-driven hot air balloon appeared in front of everyone.

But the space on the hot air balloon is limited, and Yang Jin and the others cannot all follow them. After some discussion, they decided to let Lily, Conch, and Joe follow the little old man named Clarence to rescue the tailor, and the rest of them went with Charlie. Stay where you are.

The hot air balloon quickly lifted into the sky and disappeared into the night.

Yang Jin heaved a sigh of relief involuntarily. He just felt that success or failure had nothing to do with him. The next step would all depend on whether Miss N wanted them to complete the task. In the final analysis, there were two words: luck.

Fortunately, their luck is not bad.

When the sky turned from dark to bright, the hot air balloon flew back. There were four of them in the past, and the tailor was successfully rescued.

The tailor's face looked terrible, but no injuries were found on his body, apparently he was just overly frightened.

It was the innkeeper's gang who took the tailor away, but they just changed their clothes and appearance.

While saving the tailor, Lily and Joe re-interrogated the innkeeper.

As they had expected before, they were indeed the subordinates of the Earl of the Mountain. Under the order of the Earl of the Mountain, they opened the hotel at the three-fork intersection, a place where people must pass through, for the purpose of collecting rare treasures. Treasures, especially Pokémon made by wizards.

The reason why the Alpine Earl did this was because of the wizard's expulsion order issued by the king.The king didn't like wizards or their stuff, and when he expelled wizards, he was also destroying their items.However, the Earl of Alpine was very fascinated by everything about wizards. He didn't dare to go against the king's order to take in wizards, so he sent someone to collect the wizard's things in private.As for the means of collection, that is not what Earl Alpine is willing to care about.

Joe found the earl's token on the innkeeper, which proved their identities and statements to a certain extent.However, this little old man named Clarence was as soft-hearted as his apprentice, so Joe and the others still failed to kill people, and they didn't even get compensation, only brought back a frightened tailor.

What's even more depressing is that the tailor was rescued, but Yang Jin's mission is still in an "unfinished" state.

Considering that the mission was to "reunite the family," they obviously had to bring the tailor and his three sons together.
