Witch, don't be so lazy

Before going to bed, I thought about the Mage's Hand again, and couldn't help but hit the iron bed frame next to me. Of course, this time it was at the diagonal position. The hole was not big, and there were two supports, so the bed would not collapse.

Well.

Anyway, it has been damaged before, and I will have to pay for it sooner or later, so I might as well go through more trouble.

Miss Anke, feeling guilty, made excuses for her impulsiveness.

……

the next day.

early morning.

An Ke carried her handbag and headed to the school happily.

far away.

Several men with their collars turned up to cover their faces were sitting or standing, looking at each other with dark circles under their eyes, and put down the work at hand.

The target appears and prepares to act.

Good night, Makabaka

Chapter 16 Battle

The night gradually fades away and the morning light breaks.

With the sound of the carriage passing by, Xueshan Town slowly woke up from its night dream in the early morning.

In the center of the town stands a circular square with a fountain, surrounded by wide and flat cobblestone roads. Carriages from other places are either transporting goods or carrying passengers, heading towards the city of Asda. Occasionally, some of them stop to load and unload goods, rest and resupply.

On both sides of the road, the big shops have not yet opened, but the small vendors have already started to work hard, selling fresh fruits and vegetables, steaming hot breakfasts, and fragrant cooked food...

The sounds of hawking and bargaining mixed together, making it quite lively.

Anke yawned and stood at the door of the tavern with sleepy eyes.

I have to admit that maybe it was because of the breakthrough in her skills yesterday, and the changes were too pleasing, so she calmed down and had a good sleep, which caused her to get up a little late today. The waitress knocked on the door three times before Anke could barely break free from the quilt.

But there is no need to worry about being late, because Miss Encore always likes to leave some leeway in everything she does. Even if she tells the waiter about the time to get up, there is still a long distance before class, which is enough for her to stroll to the school slowly and buy breakfast on the way.

The Adventurer's Guild is strategically located in the central block of Xueshan Town. Walk two blocks forward to reach the school, and turn right and walk one block to reach Hans' Magic Workshop.

About a hundred meters away, at the corner of the circular plaza is the Public Security Bureau, which makes people feel at ease just by looking at it.

Anke carried a small bag and first went to a roadside stall to buy a burrito. The burrito was made of corn flour and stuffed with freshly grilled beef, chicken, and lettuce, and finally topped with hot sauce and tomato sauce.

Take a bite, it’s very fragrant.

Anyway, as long as it’s not boiled potatoes, Encore feels that anything is good to eat.

But before he could take more than two bites of the burrito, there was suddenly a commotion in the square ahead.

"There's a fire!"

Following a few screams, red flames and billowing white smoke rose from several shops along the street. People around either fled in panic or put down their work to help put out the fire.

The carriages and horses on the road were frightened. Although thanks to the experienced drivers and their timely response, no casualties were caused by trampling, the goods were inevitably scattered, and congestion and chaos were inevitable.

At the same time, there seemed to be some thieves with ulterior motives who took advantage of the chaotic situation and wanted to steal from pedestrians or shopkeepers. However, I don’t know whether they were too greedy or their skills were not good enough, but they were caught red-handed.

The sheriffs rushed out one after another, scolding and shouting at the top of their lungs, trying to maintain order while also busy putting out fires and catching thieves, and they were extremely busy.

An Ke was stunned for a moment, and stuck her head out to look around for a long time, like a bystander, until ketchup dripped onto her hand. She finally came to her senses and finished her breakfast.

It was impossible for her, a little girl, to go forward and help, but she just had to avoid causing trouble.

Looking at the situation ahead, it is obvious that normal order cannot be restored in a short period of time. If you don’t want to be late for school, you must take another route.

An Ke thought about it and naturally walked towards the side street.

There were relatively few shops and vendors here, and the people inside were scattered. Some sat on the roadside, eating breakfast and reading newspapers, while others carefully selected food from butcher shops and vegetable stalls. There were even workers busy unloading goods...

An Ke looked up, then without saying a word, turned around and ran in the direction he came from.

Are you kidding? There was such a big commotion outside, but the people inside didn't react at all. Even if they don't like to join in the fun, they should at least be curious and alert. At least they should pretend to look around. They can't even act.

And the most important thing is that due to the improvement in his spiritual level, Anke's memory has been greatly enhanced. With just a glance, he can immediately recognize several familiar faces.

For example, the big man disguised as a laborer was the fat man who had blocked the road before.

And the guy who was drinking porridge and reading the newspaper, although this was the first time they actually met, Anke had previously obtained information about all the small leaders of the Huangtu Gang from Hans, including portraits, and she had read all the information over and over again and memorized it firmly in her mind.

Therefore, An Ke realized in a flash that this was a trap set for him.

Such a big fuss? Is it true?

Although his mind was full of random thoughts, Enke was not slow in his movements. His first reaction was to put on the grease and prepare to run away.

The escape route is simple. Whether you sneak back to the Adventurer's Guild or run to the group of sheriffs, you can get a big victory.

Unfortunately, the moment she turned around, she caught a glimpse of the shadow behind her.

"Lark, stop him."

The Huangtu gang members in the alley didn't expect the other party to be so alert, but their preparations over the days were not in vain.

"You little bastard, let's see where you can escape this time!"

The person who spoke was an old acquaintance, the thin man Locke, with dark circles under his eyes. The suffering of many days and the shame of being deceived all turned into raging rage, and he reached out to grab the girl's neck.

Damn, thinking back to the days when I was shivering in the cold wind, I had to watch this brat eat and drink delicious food, and maybe even use my own money...

The skinny guy was so angry that he almost bit his back teeth to pieces.

I must take revenge. This little brat happens to be pretty. I don't know if the boss is willing to give her to the brothers to relieve their lust. I haven't touched such a young one in several years...

He was roaring, daydreaming, and had a ferocious smile on his face when the hot burrito came towards him.

The pungent hot sauce, the sweet and sour tomatoes, and the steaming barbecue all hit my face at once.

The thin guy reacted quickly and raised his hand to block it. At most, some juice splashed into his eyes and some stuff got stuck in his nose. It was no big deal.

Even if he stretched out his arm, the kid would nimbly lower his head and bend down, so it wasn't a big deal if he missed.

But when you see the other person bend over, bend his knees, turn sideways, move his waist and hips back, and push hard.

"what!!!"

The curse that escaped his throat immediately turned into a heart-wrenching scream.

Severe pain shot up from the lower body to the top of the head, and snot, tears, and everything important were lost.

Ignoring the skinny man in front of her who was hunched over like an epileptic shrimp, An Ke just reached into her small bag, pulled out the magic scroll, and turned around.

She did not continue to choose to run away because she was blocked. Even if it was only delayed for a few moments, she had no confidence in escaping successfully.

Although the incident happened suddenly, she had already imagined how to fight the encounter in her mind.

Rather than fleeing in panic and exposing Ling Mengni's two Ling Siqi's empty door, it would be better to confront them head-on.

In fact, this was an extremely correct decision, because if he failed to quickly distance himself from the beast and blindly exposed his back to it, it would be tantamount to seeking his own death.

In the alley.

A low roar sounded.

Kurt's eyes were fierce, his sharp white fangs gleamed in the sunlight, his solid trouser legs were stretched out, and the bulging tendons had smooth lines, like undulating mountains. His arms were covered with gray hair, and his protruding claws were no less powerful than a hundred-forged sword.

The brute force overturned the tables and chairs in an instant, and like a bullet, it rushed along the wall in a manner that ordinary people could not achieve.

The fierce momentum and posture are like a hunting wolf.

Actually, not much different.

[Transfiguration: Wolf], this is the magic trick that Kurt majored in.

Don't get me wrong, the wolves here are naturally not ordinary animals as they can become the objects of magical research. In fact, they are transformed into the notorious Blood Origin Demon Wolf.

Ordinary people would be puzzled when hearing the name, but as long as you point out several distinct characteristics such as transformation on the full moon night, extraordinary regeneration ability, terrible wolfsbane plague..., almost everyone will suddenly understand.

Isn't this the werewolf that is well-known throughout the continent and appears frequently in all the heroic epics of chivalric novels?

Of course, Kurt is only an apprentice at present and cannot fully realize the transformation into a werewolf. He has not mastered the terrible abilities that follow. However, his extraordinary speed and strength alone are enough to help him dominate the underground world of Cedar Town.

Not to mention capturing an ordinary apprentice girl, even if he faced a team of fully armed sheriffs, as long as he could strike first, he had the confidence to kill them all.

Oh, not killing, but knocking him out and kidnapping him.

It's a little troublesome, but it's still easy for the wolf to catch the lamb.

However, the little lamb in front seemed unconvinced and was frantically opening the scroll in his hand, trying to put up a final resistance.

The scroll is Electric Touch.

Kurt quickly identified the type of the other party's scroll.

Their surveillance these days was not in vain. They sent people to observe and track Anke's whereabouts, and even went to Hans's shop pretending to buy goods, but actually secretly observed the type of scrolls he drew.

Only by mastering the intelligence can we ensure that the plan is foolproof.

Of course, the above actions are all taken out of caution. When the actual battle comes, what matters is the hard power.

As mentioned before, Kurt showed no fear even when facing a fully armed team of sheriffs.

Since they are fully armed, they naturally carry alchemical firearms.

It’s not that he is so powerful that he can ignore damage, but it’s mainly because just holding a gun is useless, you also have to aim accurately and hit the target.

As for the magic scroll, haha.

While running, Kurt watched Anke jokingly as he tore open the scroll, poured in his magic power, and let a ray of lightning leap in the air and hit his body.

What surprised him was that although the other party looked panicked, his aim was very accurate and he locked onto his landing point.

Too bad it's all meaningless.

Using the soles of his feet to gain leverage, Kurt twisted his body slightly in the air. It seemed as if he had sensed the trajectory of the electric shock and dodged it effortlessly.

【Beast Intuition】

This is another spell that Kurt has studied as a minor. Combined with his enhanced senses after transforming into a werewolf, he can almost anticipate the enemy's moves and avoid danger in conventional combat.

Thanks to this skill, he dared to say that he was not afraid of the sheriff wielding alchemical guns.

But when Kurt was full of confidence and was about to knock the girl down, an inexplicable fear enveloped his whole body, causing his gray wolf hair to explode instantly.

The beast's instinct is sounding the alarm!

If the threat posed by the electric touch was the same as the static electricity generated by friction, then the danger he sensed at this moment was the thunder flashing across the sky.

I wanted to dodge, but there was nowhere to move in the air.

Even if there was danger, he didn't know where it came from because he could sense it everywhere.

In a daze.

Kurt met the girl's crimson eyes. He was neither flustered nor complacent, but rather calm and composed, like a seasoned hunter, or the god of death who pronounced fate.

It's too late, you've already stepped into my attack range.

A spell ready to be unleashed.

Tragic howls, spurting blood, holes piercing the body, accompanied by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, and diffuse blood mist floating in the air.

An Ke rolled on the ground in a panic, still holding the torn armor spell scroll in his hand.

Adhering to the principle of caution first, after using Electric Touch to make the opponent relax his vigilance and force him to move, she immediately added a defensive scroll.

In case the mage's hand fails to defeat the opponent, you can still fight a tug-of-war.

But it was not known whether the compressed telekinesis was too strong, or she had deliberately aimed at the part of the man that was not transformed into a wolf, or the opponent's defense was limited.

In short, the enemy fell, but she was still standing.

Of course, they didn't take the man's life, they just crippled his limbs and joints, leaving him alive, because they wanted to keep him alive for interrogation.

"Don't do anything tricky!"

There was a bloody hole on his palm, and it hung down weakly, unable to reach the interlayer of the windbreaker, and the last chance of turning the situation around was gone.

"You actually carried a gun with you, how insidious!"

Nonsense, since he has an extraordinary body and melee ability, isn't it natural to equip him with alchemical firearms?
