Sword Sorcery

Chapter 138 Situation

Swish! ! !
There was a sudden gust of wind whistling behind him. Without even thinking about it, Aaron stepped on the ground, and the whole person bounced away from his original position in an instant——

bang bang bang! ! !
A series of transparent wind blades hit the ground, exploding a large group of stone slab fragments and soil, and some small stones slapped on Aaron's body. Although they did not cause any substantial damage, they also excited Aaron. Annoyed in my heart - after this series of accidents, even clay figurines will have three points of anger!

So Aaron turned around and uttered a syllable. A long arrow formed by the condensed shadow quickly formed in the air, and shot at the opponent according to the position indicated by the chip, and the opponent released a wind-type defensive witchcraft premeditatedly. , a cloud of air began to gather in front of him——

boom!
The Shadow Arrow quickly flew in front of the opponent, but it seemed to hit an invisible wall, and it exploded into a large cloud of dark mist. At the same time, there was a burst of air ripples in the air!
It wasn't until this moment that Aaron finally saw clearly the appearance of the person who attacked him——

The other party was a young man with an ordinary appearance and a slightly flat nose. Judging from the fluctuation of mental power emanating from him, he should be a mark witch.

You're just a mere mark witch, and you dare to sneak up on me? !
Suddenly, Aaron's eyes flashed coldly, just as he stretched out his hand to hold the long sword at his waist, and was about to draw the sword to enter the state of "real combat", intending to give the sneak attacker a good look——

"Misunderstanding~!"

The young man with a snub nose said anxiously, "I'm so sorry~! I mistook you for the criminal!"

Hearing this, Aaron loosened his grip on the long sword and realized a possibility: "Are you also tracking the criminal who disappeared?"

The young man was waiting for a response, but a middle-aged man popped out from the alley not far behind him, exuding mental power fluctuations of the level of a condensed witch, and hurried over——

"Morgan, have you seen what that criminal looks like? Hey. Could it be him?!"

"No, no, no, I got the wrong person. He is a witch from the negative shadow department, and obviously not a criminal from the negative water department."

The young man named 'Morgan' responded with a wry smile: "Doyle, I let that criminal run away again, and I also interfered with a 'colleague'."

Aaron frowned, finally understanding the situation in front of him.

Obviously, those two witches should also come to arrest the criminal, but one of them mistook himself for a criminal. Because he performed the zero-ring witchcraft belonging to the 'negative shadow system', the two parties were able to solve the problem. A misunderstanding.

It seems that they have never really seen the face of the criminal, they just "stepped" into the witchcraft trap just like themselves, and knew that the criminal should be a witch with a negative water system-don't be fake in the attribute system, this can be regarded as 'irrefutable evidence'.

Hearing Morgan's words, Doyle showed a trace of helplessness on his face. Looking at Aaron who also looked helpless, he couldn't help but sighed: "Well, it seems that we have to have a good chat."

Because of this misunderstanding, the three of them delayed each other for a while, and it was obviously impossible to catch up with the criminal again, so they could only get to know each other.

Doyle continued to Aaron: "Let me introduce myself again, Doyle, a wandering witch in the condensed state, with negative energy and fire."

"Morgan, a wandering sorcerer in the imprint realm, with a negative energy wind element." Morgan also introduced himself from the side.

Aaron hesitated for a moment, and responded to the two of them: "Aaron, a wandering witch in the imprint realm, belongs to the negative energy shadow system."

Before entering the city, Aaron had already put away the black bracelet representing his 'academic' status, in order to prevent others from identifying him.

The two witches in front of Aaron are wandering witches. It seems that they may be hired by nobles such as the city lord to deal with the disappearance case this time.

It seems that the nobles no longer count on the help of the academy, but plan to find someone to deal with it themselves.

After all, in many cases, those 'mysterious incidents' reported by noble territories will be dragged on by the Wizarding Academy for a month or two.
For some reason, Aaron did not reveal his academic identity, and Morgan and Doyle did not become suspicious, and the three communicated with each other.

After some exchanges, Aaron finally understood the circumstances of the disappearance——

The missing cases this time have been happening for a long time, and they started appearing nearly three months ago.

nearly three months
Of course, this result cannot be entirely blamed on the habitual "delay" of the Wizarding Academy. Aaron himself is also responsible-he stayed in Lancang City for a long time at the beginning, and he also walked slowly along the way, and did not take any responsibility. There was no hurry.

Aaron is a typical example of not working hard.

Therefore, it seems that the local nobles in Lordan City really couldn't wait any longer. They jointly contributed funds and magic stones, and used rewards to attract two wandering witches to be responsible for handling this disappearance case.

Now, after Aaron communicated with the two wandering witches, they thought they were wandering witches who were also attracted by the bounty mission, and he was invited to cooperate with them - because the negative shadow system is not a characteristic of 'balance', Perfect for filling in some of the missing aspects of the other two Witches.

For example, Morgan, who belongs to the negative wind department, has strong detection ability, but lacks enough other means to fight against the enemy—every time Morgan finds the trace of the enemy, he will be delayed by the witchcraft trap set by the opponent. There is no way to get entangled with each other.

In particular, Morgan was only a trace witch, and he had to be careful when facing the witchcraft trap left by the congealing witch, otherwise he would have to confess for a mistake.

Doyle, who belongs to the negative fire department, also has his own shortcomings. His detection ability is too poor. By the time he hears the sound of the battle and rushes over, the enemy has already run away without a trace—the two need Aaron's help very much .

So Aaron readily accepted the invitation of the two of them, and he just happened to be able to complete the mission of the academy - disguising as a wandering witch can get an extra bounty from the nobles, why not do it?
So, the three of them went directly to the Marquis' castle in the center of Lordan City. The other two wandering witches had been living in the Marquis's castle after accepting the reward task offered by the nobles, and Aaron formed a team with them. The team, of course, also had to meet Marquess Duggan—and take a look at his residence by the way.

Commoner hotels and noble castles, of course, the latter is more comfortable to live in, and Aaron will not deliberately wrong himself.

During this period, Aaron went back to the hotel to bring all his things, followed Morgan, and Doyle and the two came to the castle hall of the Marquis of Dupont.

"Welcome to join, Mr. Aaron, it's really great~!"

The Marquis of Dupont enthusiastically shook Aaron's hand, but Aaron scanned it and found the weak-looking Marquis of Dupont in front of him.
Seems like a peak knight? !
