I seriously doubt there is something wrong with my Chaldea

Assassin, who was wearing a pale skull mask, said with a hint of joy in his tone.

"you--!"

But Lixiang couldn't be happy, because he saw the skull mask as soon as he opened his eyes!

"Oh, I'm very sorry to disturb you, Mr. Magician."

Of course Assassin understood Lixiang's reaction now, so he stopped being so close to Lixiang, and at the same time lowered the hood on his head a little to make his skull mask less conspicuous.

"You...you are..."

Seeing the respectful attitude of the assassin in front of him, Li Xiang was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously raised his hand to touch his throat, only to find that he had already put on a black cloak like his, and at the same time his wound Also bandaged.

"Yes, I am the Servant summoned by you, [Assassin (Assassin)], my real name is Hassan Sabah, of course, you can also call me Hassan the Cursed Arm."

Assassin nodded, then explained.

"Woo... Cursed Wrist Hassan...?"

Looking at Hassan, whose left arm was wrapped in a stick-shaped black spellcloth, Lixiang nodded slightly. Although he summoned some particularly powerful servants, the servants were never more than powerful. Even better, and Hassan, who is also an Assassin, is undoubtedly the most powerful helper now.

"It is so grateful to be able to answer my call at a time like this."

Recalling the feeling that his throat was pierced in an instant just now, Lixiang couldn't help feeling a chill down his back, so he couldn't help but say this exclamation.

"You don't need to say that, Magician. Since fate has chosen to connect us, then I have the determination to be loyal to the master forever."

Facing Lixiang's exclamation, Hassan the Curse Wrist said very seriously.

"So, Your Majesty the Magician, now we have a big problem before us waiting to be solved."

Assassin has already noticed that the effect of the [Rune of Concealment] that Li Xiang had planted before has begun to fade, and it won't be long before they will be exposed to the eyes of those assassins again.

And once it is discovered, it will not be so easy to fool it.

"Well... If it can be done, it's best to avoid them directly... I haven't been here for a long time with this singularity, and if I fight rashly here, something will happen."

After thinking about it for a while, Lixiang explained his idea.

"Oh, so that's the case. As expected of His Majesty the Magician, he has analyzed the situation so thoroughly."

Assassin was stunned for a moment. Originally, he wanted to directly suggest to Lixiang not to confront the opponent head-on for the time being, but to throw off their pursuit for the time being, and find a safe place to recuperate.

It turned out that he didn't need to waste his words anymore. The young boy in front of him was more mature than he expected. After all, young people are always impulsive. For an assassin, impulsiveness is dangerous. It is highly poisonous, no matter which side is the enemy or us, once it gets carried away, it will fall into the abyss.

This is almost an unavoidable rule, but fortunately, the young master who needs to be loyal in front of him doesn't need to worry about this.

"Cough cough cough... yes, is it...?"

When he heard Hassan's praise, Li Xiang immediately coughed twice as if choking on water, trying to cover up his embarrassment.

In fact, he has already been impulsive once, otherwise he would not have chosen to fly into the air to lure the assassin just now, but this has passed, and Li Xiang has already realized his mistake very deeply, um , as deeply as if the throat was pierced.

However, with the passage of time, Lixiang and the others really had no way to stay here any longer, and the effect of the [Concealment] runes had become weaker and weaker, and they would reappear in front of the assassins before long.

You must escape as soon as possible.

"Then... Cursed Wrist... I'll call you that, can you escape the eyes and ears of those assassins?"

After thinking for a while, Li Xiang couldn't help asking.

"Sneaking in front of the other Hassans?"

Assassin narrowed his eyes, as if he was thinking about the feasibility of this behavior, but it was undoubtedly useless, after all, he had never seen the assassin who was on the opposite side, so even he, who was also Hassan, could not directly assert.

Until the end, Hassan the Cursed Wrist could only give an ambiguous statement like "My [Breath Blocking] skill level is [A+], but because I can't know the identity of the enemy, I can't guarantee it with full assurance." Answer.

"Is that so..."

Lixiang frowned, it seemed that Hassan's power was not enough.

'In that case, then...'

The gorgeous pupils of Lixiang's star-sea pupils turned, and a [Concealed Rune] was directly engraved on the black cloak of Hassan.

"Is this... the magician's magic?"

He looked at the strange runes on his black robe in amazement, and Hassan could clearly feel that the runes were exactly the same as the magic aura that Lixiang had set around.

"Well, I just hope this will help a little bit."

After applying a layer of [Rune of Concealment] on Hassan's cloak, Lixiang personally added several layers of [Rune of Concealment] to the corners of the black cloak on his body.

After all, he is not an assassin who is proficient in stealth like Hassan, and all he can do is use the runes that he is good at to fill his shortcomings in all aspects.

And I have to say that [Original Rune] is indeed an excellent magic of the Age of Gods. Mystic Eyes of runes)], the role of runes in Lixiang's hands is also strengthened as Lixiang's strength continues to increase.

And with the protection of the [Concealed] rune, even if they don't know what the result will be, it gives them a little more protection.

"Well, it does."

He tried to use investigative means to feel the aura from the Master in front of him, but all he saw was a small blurry black shadow, mixed in the thick fog everywhere in Venice, and it was almost impossible to see clearly.

Li Xiang put on the hood of the black cloak to hide his face together. It has to be said that it is really convenient to have such a cloak that can cover up his magic reaction and breath.

His [Ortenaus] armor was completely covered under the cloak, and the magic power reaction did not overflow at all.

In this way, their keen killer perception can be shielded, as long as those assassins are not allowed to directly discover their whereabouts.

"Then, Lord Magician, please come with me."

For this kind of intricate city alley, although he has never been here before, Hassan, the curse arm, still knows which side to go. After observing the layout of the surrounding houses for a while, he left with Lixiang This dead end quickly disappeared in the thick fog.

Chapter 4: Trapped in the Fog

"Escaped...?"

Looking at the environment still surrounded by dense fog, Li Xiang seemed a little uneasy.

"Yes, don't worry, we have completely thrown off those assassins."

Assassin summoned by Lixiang, Hassan the cursed arm said: "Now, although those assassins have been thrown away, it is still necessary to find a safe stronghold for temporary shelter as soon as possible."

"Well... for this... I have a way, I can try it."

Li Xiang looked around, but there was no movement, only the slight sound of water flowing and the sound of breeze blowing.

He wanted to make another contact, trying to see if he could contact Chaldea here.

After all, Li Xiang and the others would not be so passive if there were doctors and others to support them outside.

Therefore, Lixiang once again set up a circle of [Concealed Rune] around the two to surround the two, so as to avoid the possibility of being discovered by the enemy again during communication.

The assassin's knife really cut Lixiang out of the shadows, so that now, when he saw the canal connecting the houses, the narrow waterway that formed the water network, he couldn't help but feel apprehensive. .

However, he quickly opened the communication bracelet on his wrist, trying to reconnect with Chaldea.

The blue fluorescent light was projected in mid-air, but after the projection, what he and Hassan saw was only a mixed mosaic.

The low, mocking voice completely covered up the only possible information. After waiting for a full 10 minutes, the noisy communication situation still did not get any relief. Looking at the blue light curtain that did not change, even immediately Xiang knew that if he stayed like this, there would definitely be problems, so even though he felt extremely uneasy because he didn't get any news, he still turned off the communication bracelet.

"Time is running out. It seems that we need to find a stronghold as soon as possible."

Lixiang looked at Hassan, the cursed arm beside him, and said.

"Yes, Mr. Magician."

Assassin, who fully saw what Lixiang was worried about, couldn't say anything more, after all, he didn't know the details of the organization called "Chaldea".

Lixiang raised his hand to wipe away the hidden runes around him, and left here together with Hassan, the cursed arm. When there is no completely definite base, it is still too risky to stay in one place for too long, if it is not in a hurry to get along with If Chaldea regained contact, Tachika might not take such a risk and decide to choose the danger of revealing his position without even having a fixed base.

They quickly left the area where Lixiang had chosen to communicate with Chaldea just now, because not long after, some strange creatures like humanoid slimes appeared in the dense fog, and slowly moved to the place where Lixiang and the others stayed. Gather up.

Obviously, those strange humanoid creatures like slimes don't look like normal natural life, but should be something like artificial life.

They are swaying with a tall body that is two meters high, and they seem to be unable to stand still with heavy steps, and they keep shaking their bodies while walking.

Although they are just some lifeforms "made" through things like magic experiments, simple lifeforms are often more sensitive to some subtle reactions than followers and people, just like now.

Like an instinctive reaction, they gathered at the place where Lixiang had set the runes before, simply because there was still a little bit of magic power there, but this magic power would dissipate quickly in a few minutes, and those assassins would not I will be concerned about the purpose of gathering here for the monsters that are released at will.

After leaving those monsters behind, Lixiang also had time to think about the next question. Since there is no way to contact Chaldea now, he can only go to Mash first.

Lixiang couldn't help but lowered his head and glanced at his right hand protruding from the cloak. On the back of his hand, there was a magic channel connecting the two of them. proof of contract.

It's a pity that Chaldea's command spell system has no way to make it possible for a follower to issue complex commands such as "come back to me immediately". Command, which is very different from the command spell that Li Xiang originally knew.

The only thing he can do now is perhaps to feel whether Matthew is safe now through Command Seals and Rune Runes, and to talk to Matthew through [Original Rune] under certain conditions.

However, because Lixiang has not tried this kind of thing, Lixiang cannot confirm its feasibility.

'To put it bluntly, is it another plan that can only be talked about on the lip, but has no chance to implement it? '

For the current situation, Lixiang couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

From the moment he came to this singularity, he felt that everything around him could really be aimed at him.

From the strange sound he encountered when he came to this singularity, to the humid and cold environment of the low-temperature Venice, Lixiang felt extremely uncomfortable, and then he was directly assassinated by the enemy not long after he came here. He chased and killed him, and almost lost his life...

Li Xiang was even a little skeptical. Could it be that those assassins were waiting there just to kill him?

Li Xiang wasn't sure about it at first, but after his throat was pierced, he was completely clear.

Even through the Hassan black cloth used for bandaging, he could feel the thick layer of scab on his throat, and Li Xiang couldn't help but speed up his progress.

"Your Excellency Magician, please be careful, after all, we are not very familiar with the surrounding environment..."

Assassin felt that Lixiang's speed had accelerated again, and couldn't help reminding him.

With their rapid movement in the mist, Ben unknowingly passed through the central city of Venice, crossed the Bridge of Sighs, and entered the bottleneck-like narrow area of ​​the eastern city.

However, as Lixiang and Assassin stepped directly into this area without knowing it, they also "accidentally" awakened a certain existence.

"Master Magician, be careful!"

Suddenly, Hassan the Cursed Wrist narrowed his eyes suddenly, raised his hand to grab Lixiang in front of him, and pulled him behind him.

"Curse wrist, why...!"

Lixiang subconsciously wanted to ask Hassan, the cursed arm, but with the collapse of a house in front of him, a roar and more turbid smoke, Lixiang saw "that".

It was a stone statue-like existence, but although it had the same luster as a stone statue, it looked like an incomparably strong giant, holding a large stone sword in his hand, which was surrounded by a beard and hair like a twig. On Zhanman's face, a pair of eyes had already fixed on the intruder who accidentally broke into his territory.

"……protector……!?"

Li Xiang's eyes widened, how could such a thing exist in such a place! ?The magic power of this era is not strong enough to produce such a monster that can rival the servants! ?

"Your Excellency the Magician, please don't panic."

Hearing Lixiang's surprised voice, Hassan thought that Lixiang was afraid, so he comforted his master and said: "I can't escape now, this kind of monster will always spare no effort to destroy the invaders. There are other existences in the territory, so the magician asks you to retreat first, and I will block this monster here!"

Immediately, he raised his right arm wrapped in a thick mantra cloth, stopped Lixiang behind him, and motioned for him to go first.

In fact, Cursed Arm Hassan is not suitable for such a frontal battle. Compared with those normal heroes, his own strength is just a second-rate follower, but the only way to let Lixiang, the master, escape first is to support him. Only when the monster in front of him absolutely couldn't catch up with him could he use the assassin's stunt to escape in front of him.

Only in this way can both he and the Master survive.

And even if he will be killed by the guardian, then the task he needs to complete can be regarded as accomplished.

As an [Assassin (Assassin)] who does whatever it takes to achieve his goals, this is simply a deal with no loss no matter what he chooses.

"…………!you……"

Li Xiang paused for a moment, he originally wanted to say that there is no need to do this, it just needs to be the same as when he was in the first two singularities...

Same as the previous two singularities...

He was stunned, wearing a pitch-black cloak that covered the original armor on his body. In order to hide from others, he had to make a choice that made it easier to survive.

Same as the previous two singularities?No, it's completely different. This is completely different from the original situation. Here, he is the only one who is being stared at. There is no Matthew's shield to rely on, and there is no Doctor Roman in Chaldea to command. Right now, he is really alone.

"...then be careful."

Lixiang felt his mouth dry, and raised his hand to engrave the [wind] and [dexterity] runes on the black robe behind Assassin again, but he had to leave quickly.

"boom!"

Suddenly, there was a deafening roar at the feet of the guardians who were only a few meters away from them. The wooden piles pierced into the mud bed of the seabed and the ground made of floor tiles all collapsed amidst the roar.
