Chapter 47
Seeing Mungo coming out following Laurana, El, who was waiting outside, couldn't help sighing in his heart: What a handsome and handsome boy with red lips and white teeth!
He had heard Laurana talk about the glorious history of this talented young master before. Regardless of appearance, talent and strength, Mungo was the top leader among the noble children of Istaren's generation.Not to mention anything else, just looking at the image of this handsome and beautiful boy is enough to make the daughters of thousands of gold obsessed.

El subconsciously remembered the Tony he met yesterday, so he made a simple comparison between the two.What the two have in common is that they are both very confident, but Tony is calm and low-key, while Mungo seems a little frivolous.In terms of appearance, Tony is not as good as Mungo, but Tony has an indescribable personality charm, which Mungo does not possess.

Compared to Tony's sophistication and cunning in front of Laurana, the young master who is pestering the eldest lady now seems a little too tender.Even El could feel from a distance that he had already fallen headlong into Laurana's trap.

"I don't know what kind of troubles you have encountered at home, senior sister. Maybe I can help." Meng Ge had an earnest and sincere expression on his face, but greedy desire shone in his eyes.Although he concealed it well, he couldn't escape El's keen observation.

"Actually... you should have heard about it too." Laurana sighed worriedly: "Do you still remember the student kidnapping case that happened two years ago?"

"Of course I remember. At that time, my sister was almost murdered." Meng Ge's face darkened. The student kidnapping case two years ago was a sensation, but the principal culprit is still at large. The public colleges and universities regard it as a shame.

"At that time, we only caught one accomplice, and we had to put him in prison because of insufficient charges. But just recently, that cunning prisoner escaped from the prison by some unknown method." Laurana whispered.

"There is such a thing?" Meng Ge was taken aback, and then suddenly realized: "You mean, not only did the damned criminal not want to repent, but instead returned to his old job, and started thinking about you again?"

"In the past few days, my father's business has encountered unexpected changes, and the shadow of that person can be vaguely seen from those bad methods. Maybe he thinks that I, who was born as a commoner, are easier to deal with..." Laurana pursed her lips , pretending to be strong and said: "I will not give in to evil so easily!"

"These scoundrels are too lawless, Istaren is not a place for them to run rampant!" Meng Ge clenched his fists and said angrily: "Sister, don't worry, I know many friends in the city defense army, even if they There are evil forces behind it, and the knights of justice will never turn a blind eye!"

El covered his face and turned his head away, the child was so stupid that there was no cure.

When Bart came to make trouble two days ago, El felt that the attitude of the old businessman Jupiter was a little weird, and he told himself hesitantly later that the guy was actually thrown into prison by Laurana.Judging from what the eldest lady said now, it is probably because of the student kidnapping case two years ago.

Could it be that the so-called kidnapping case two years ago was set up by Laurana?After seeing the beautiful boy foolishly cheating, El couldn't help mourning for Bart and Mungo in his heart.

"It's just a gangster leader." Meng Ge over there was still very proud of getting the chance to be a hero to save the beauty. He used a magic trick to show off, caught a flying insect in the air, and suspended it on the palm of his hand: "Clean up!" He is like this little bug, easy as pie..."

Under the watchful eyes of the onlookers, a sudden change occurred!
Master Mungo's heroic declaration turned into a scream, and the little flying insect that was restrained by him in his palm blew up after several struggles and could not escape.The turquoise body fluid splashed onto Mungo's hand, and immediately made a sizzling corrosion sound, and a puff of white smoke floated up.

El's eyes froze, he looked up, and couldn't help but gasp.Today's weather was originally sunny and cloudless, but I don't know when it will be cloudy.With his extraordinary eyesight, he could see that the dark cloud blocking the sunlight was actually composed of countless flying insects!

He also felt that the buzzing of insects in his ears was a bit noisy before, but he thought that it was the end of summer and it was normal for there to be many mosquitoes, so he didn't take it to heart.These flying insects are finger-sized and look like enlarged versions of locusts.What's even more weird is that after they descended from the sky to the roof and the bushes, they became silent, which is the main reason why El was not alert.

"Bang—" The alarm bell in the inner city suddenly rang loudly, and the deafening bell sounded instantly awakened the whole city.The swarms of flying insects lurking on the city buildings were also frightened, and a black cloud rose into the sky, covering the sky and the sun.At that moment, everyone who raised their heads fell into shock.

All the towers on the inner and outer city walls frantically beat their alarm bells, and in the streets and alleys of the city, the city guards on duty shouted loudly, echoed each other, and finally converged into a neat voice: "Alarm!"

Estalon opened his eyes at this moment like a sleeping lion.

"Insects... Earthwalkers? This is the landwalker's scout cockroach!" In order to raise Langa, Laurana had just borrowed literature books that basically recorded the knowledge of landwalkers from the college library, and she was the first to realize it.She flipped her wrist, took out a tube of potion from somewhere, and poured it on Mungo's hand.Meng Ge, who screamed in pain, immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and his face improved.

"How to deal with these bugs?" El asked hurriedly.The bow, arrow and ax were obviously useless, and it was the first time he felt helpless in the face of this kind of enemy.

"Wolf smoke! Use wolf smoke!" Laurana shouted loudly, and she took out another spherical glass bottle filled with yellow translucent viscous liquid, shook it quickly a few times, and immediately threw it into the air.

"Shoot it through! Brother El!"

Before Laurana finished speaking, El had already drawn the bow and arrow. He shot an arrow without looking at it, turned around and threw Laurana to the ground, and rolled her under the carriage with her in his arms.When the eldest lady shook the bottle, he recognized the stuff inside, and his heartbeat slowed down by half a beat.That is the most common alchemy product on the market - Blazing Glue, which is usually used to open mountains and explode mines.

There was a muffled sound from behind, and the glass bottle exploded in mid-air, immediately filling the air with a pungent smell.The flying cockroaches that surrounded here ran away all at once.

"Aren't you going to die!" El stared at Laurana angrily and cursed.

"That's a self-defense model, it won't explode violently." The eldest lady said with a smile: "Besides, you still have to protect me?"

"What do we do now? Where did these damn bugs come from?" El poked his head out to look at the situation outside. Mungo had already been dragged into the house by the family guards, while the other servants were in a state of bewilderment. In the panic, the scene was in chaos.The black swarm of insects gathered into a huge whirling nest, hovering over the city, and the sound of thousands of wings vibrating suppressed the screams of the people.

"Didn't Mr. Kobold say that without the protection of the sacred object, the underground passage of Red Stone Ridge has been exposed. It's just that no one would have thought that the ground walker would come up. If this is the change of fate he predicted, the scene is really spectacular. Yes." Laurana joked without being nervous at all.

"Now is not the time to talk about this!" El thought of Tika who stayed in the firm, and suddenly became anxious: "We must go back to the firm!"

"Don't worry, flying cockroaches have limited damage to humans. According to the book, landwalkers usually use them as temporary hatching one-time reconnaissance troops. The real function of these bugs is to weaken the enemy's defense system." Laurana walked from under the carriage. He got out, patted the dust on his skirt and schoolbag, and said to El.

"Wouldn't that be worse, the appearance of the reconnaissance force means the arrival of follow-up troops." El coldly pulled out the ax, cut off the reins on the carriage, pulled out a horse and jumped on it, turned around and pulled Laurana Also pulled up.

"Sit down, hold me tight." El glanced at the eldest lady's schoolbag with some hesitation: "Is there anything else on you that could explode?"

"No, no!" Laurana smiled harmlessly, but the sparkle in her eyes made people completely uneasy.

"There are ghosts only if you believe in you." El cursed in his heart, turned his head and turned his attention back to the chaotic street.
