noble magician

"Roast and wine for two." The girl from the store came to serve.The wild boar was roasting on the fire, and it was already cooked at this time, so it was served quickly, but the vegetable soup was slower.

"Thank you." Lance nodded to her.

Both of them were a little hungry, and they buried their heads in eating what was on their plates.Compared to the hustle and bustle of the store, their corner was eerily quiet.

Lei Zhe took a sip of the wine, frowned, but said nothing.

Lance curled his lips when he saw it, and took a sip as well.It was his first time to drink alcohol, and he usually watched Ender drink heavily, but now he followed suit subconsciously.

"Ahem..." Lance was choked by the weird smell, and when he looked at the liquid in the cup again, his eyes became strange. What is this?

Lei Zhe sneered: "Can't drink wine like others order?"

"People who are so afraid of women that they dare not even eat dinner are not qualified to speak." Lance said coldly.

Lei Zhe was at a loss for words. In fact, the reason why he ran out was because he saw Evelyn at the dining table, and happened to see Lance walking out, so he took the opportunity to follow.

Lance never touched the glass of wine again after the vegetable soup arrived.Originally, it was because he was in a depressed mood and wanted to drink like his father, but who knows... this matter was also a matter of talent, aftertaste of the spicy taste of the wine, Lance felt that he never wanted to try it a second time .

After the meal, Lance walked to the suburbs, but Lei Zhe followed him like a follower.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"I said, let's go back early."

Not only does he have to follow, but he also talks a lot.

Outside the town, clusters of thistles and mountain flowers can be seen everywhere, swaying wantonly in the sunset and breeze.They are the most common plants, growing all over the mountains and fields, so many that no one will pick them unless they are needed.

Mountain flowers come in a variety of colors, among which blue, purple and red can be used to make potions, blue and purple are more common, and red is relatively rare.

The purpose of Lance is the blue and purple mountain flowers, which are the materials needed to make the life-saving potion.Because it is a material that can be seen everywhere, in fact, there is no rush at all, but anyway, I have nothing to do, and I also want to go outside to relax, so Lance decided to pick some mountain flowers first.

As soon as he arrived at the place, he picked the mountain flowers that were blooming all over the place. Lei Zhe watched by his side. Although he didn't know what to use, he followed suit, muttering, "What are you picking these things for?" ".

Lei Zhe was busy working for a while in a good mood, and after a while, he grabbed a large handful of blue and purple mountain flowers.He breathed the grassy air, leaned back and lay down on the soft grass, with his hands behind his head as a pillow, with a smile on his lips, looking at the sky above with a satisfied face.

Lance glanced at Lei Zhe who was resting. Perhaps due to the influence of the surrounding environment, the stuffiness in his chest dissipated a lot.Lance came to Lei Zhe's side, bent down to get the handful he was holding in his hand.

His sight was obscured by Lance's figure, Lei Zhe looked at the peaceful face above, he held onto the mountain flower tightly and forgot to let go.

"Let go," Lance said.

Lance took the mountain flower in Lei Zhe's hand, and was just about to put it into the bag in his hand, but his expression suddenly changed, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

Lei Zhe noticed the change in his expression and was taken aback for a moment, not knowing what happened.

Lance lowered his body and stared at a direction in the distance. The magic power burst from the palms of his hands, and the air around him changed slightly due to the fluctuation of magic power. A shield formed in front of the two teenagers in an instant, protecting them Afterwards, the picked mountain flowers scattered all over the ground because they lost the strength to hold them.

"Who's there?" Lance snapped.At the same time, a scorching fireball hit the shield he sacrificed.Although it was blocked by a shield, it still couldn't withstand the heat wave that hit the face.The flames surged like waves, trying to pass through this shield, devouring the two people in front of them.

This sudden change made Lei Zhe's pupils shrink, and he immediately activated his magic to create a second shield.

When Lei Zhe's shield was released, the fireball had already broken through Lance's defense, and hit Lei Zhe's shield with a "boom."

Lei Zhe's magic bought some time for Lance, and he immediately opened the third shield.At this time, the fireball broke through the second shield, hit the shield that Lance sacrificed again, and exploded in all directions at the same time, scorching the air hot, and finally annihilated.

All this happened in an instant, if one of them slowed down by a step, one of them might be seriously injured.Although there is a shield blocking it, the damage is not completely zero.Especially the last burst, which caused both of them a little injury, but fortunately it was not too serious.

"It's the big fireball technique, this is a veteran-level mage!" Both Lei Zhe and Lance understood this in their hearts.

Veteran is a level between apprentice and expert level.Unlike the small fireball technique, the big fireball technique is a spell that only veterans have the chance to comprehend, and its power is much stronger than the small fireball technique.

As soon as one fireball was extinguished, the second one roared in!Fortunately, this time the two were prepared.

"Go to the right!" Lance reminded, and he jumped to the right to dodge.Lei Zhe was reminded and rolled to the right, narrowly avoiding the big fireball technique.

"Go back to town." Lance said softly, "The sneak attack is at least a veteran-level mage. We are not opponents. Run back around the corner. You'd better get closer to me."

Compared with resisting a spell, it is obviously wiser to avoid it at a long distance.

Lei Zhe nodded, and the two immediately turned and ran towards the town.At the critical moment, the two who had been in a hurry in the hotel just now joined forces.

Fortunately, they didn't go too far. It is estimated that the sneak attacker saw that they had no intention of going further, so he couldn't help staying in this place and started his attack.This is really not a wise move. As long as they run back to the town directly without fighting at this distance, they can guarantee safety.

While running, Lance paid attention to Lei Zhe's movements. If the sneak attacker hadn't given up, then the next fireball technique was about to come.Although he himself had the confidence to avoid it, he was worried that Lei Zhe would not be able to do it. He already knew that Lei Zhe, a pampered nobleman, was not very agile in his movements last time in the Duffer Woods.

As soon as his thought flashed, he noticed the change behind him, and the second fireball shot roared through the air.Lance grabbed Lei Zhe's arm and pulled it towards him, helping him avoid the fireball. After stabilizing his body, the two of them ran towards the town without daring to stop.

Their running style made it difficult for the attacker from a distance to aim. Perhaps realizing that he had failed, the man did not cast the third fireball.

Back in the town, Lance and Lei Zhe didn't stop there, but rushed back to the collapsed hotel in one breath.The faces of the two people were not very good-looking. When Mike saw them, he hesitated to speak and looked back and forth between the two, probably thinking that they were arguing again.

"A sorcerer sneaked up on us." Lei Zhe said with a grim expression.

"Sneak attack?" Mike was very surprised. "Who is so bold to ignore the temple? It's best to discuss this matter with Master Roy and notify the temple."

In Roy's room, everyone except the coachman gathered together to discuss the attack.

Master Barlow, who was traveling with Roy, heard what had happened, and asked, "Why are you going to the suburbs?"

He just found out Lei Zhe's real identity, and his face was very ugly.If something happened to Lei Zhe by their side, the two families might have conflicts.

"Go pick some mountain flowers." Lance replied truthfully.

"Mountain flowers?" Master Barlow sneered, with a mocking expression on his face, "Can you explain to me why you want to pick that thing? You also want to take people from the Xizuan family with you?"

Mike may have been ordered to be polite to Lance, but that doesn't mean everyone else is.Lance's father, Ander, is just a fringe figure in the West family. To put it bluntly, he is a useless magic waste. He himself is not respected, let alone his adopted son?Lance didn't have the blood of the West family at all.

"I need some mountain flowers as potions." Lan said calmly to his questioning eyes.

"You only need to spend one gold coin at the potion store to buy a big bag of that thing. Please give me a reason for you to do so." The irony on Master Barlow's face became more intense, and his eyes became colder and colder.

"I was the one who insisted on following, and it had nothing to do with him." Lei Zhe explained for Lance.

Barlow's face froze, and then he continued: "Even so, you don't need to pick..."

"I just love picking mountain flowers, what does this have to do with you?" Lance cut off his words coldly.

"Let's discuss the key points first. Have you seen the man's appearance clearly?"

Mage Barlow wanted to say something more, but was preempted by Roy. He gave Lance a gloomy look, while the other accompanying magician remained silent.

"No, he covered his face and stayed away." Lei Zhe shook his head and replied.

"In any case, this is likely to be a premeditated incident. We must tell our respective families about this. Lei Zhe, your father must know about this." Roy expressed his opinion.

Lei Zhe was not very happy, but he couldn't refute it. Roy's decision was correct, which also meant that his visit to Roy's house this time would not work.

"This person must be coming for Lei Zhe or Roy." Lance said.

Master Barlow sneered disdainfully.

"How?" Roy asked.

Lance continued: "There are three possibilities for the attacker's purpose. It may be for money, or it may be for revenge, to me or to Lei Zhe. There are two of us, if he is for money, the possibility of success is very small .If it's coming at me, there's absolutely no need for him to do it at this time, most of the time I act alone, so it's wise to do it then, right?"

"Hmph, I thought you could come up with something useful, but it's not all your guesswork. Maybe you offended someone and caused such trouble."

Barlow raised his chin, disapproving of what Lance said, and blamed the matter on Lance.
