After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

"I will continue to work for the Duke, no matter what you ask me to do, or you can kill me now, but this matter has nothing to do with my fellow villagers, please let them go."

Alicia has no such thing as scheming, nor does she have so many complicated thoughts.

So, after more than a year of cooperation, she still had a little fantasy about Brian.

I thought that he would remember what I had done before and would not do anything too drastic, so I stayed to avoid bringing disaster to my village.

However, as Aize said before he was thrown away, Brian has never been an easy person to talk to.

Even if he was easy to talk to, it would be impossible for him to be easy to talk to at this critical juncture where it was a matter of life and death.

So, it would be better if Alicia didn't mention this proposal.

When Brian said that, his facial features were almost distorted with anger.

"Are you kidding me?! You're a real freak! You can't even figure out something so simple!"

"I……"

Brian sneered, turned his gaze away, and ordered Rufus beside him:

"Pass on my orders. Tell my troops stationed outside the city to prepare to attack. Surround and razed that village. Leave no one alive!"

"Yes."

Rufus nodded expressionlessly and walked away, which made Alicia panic.

"No... Your Excellency the Duke, you can't do this... What do I need you to do to spare my village?!"

Alicia's panic made Brian very unhappy.

Just a monster, but at this moment it looks so much like a human.

Nausea.

But he still nodded and said with a smile:

"Let your village go? That's easy. Just go and kill Aize, and I'll let them go."

"But……"

"No buts! Only one of you, Aize or your village, can survive. Make your own decision! Remember, this is your last chance!"

Chapter 114 Cordless Bungee Jumping

The intense wind pressure made Aize's black hair a mess and made a whistling sound in his ears.

Like Alicia said, if you don't keep your mouth shut, you might actually bite your tongue.

The altitude began to drop, and a small river in the city of Tafia appeared below him. It seemed that Alicia had calculated the direction when she threw herself out.

However, perhaps Alicia herself is not human and therefore has some misunderstanding about the strength of the human body.

At this height, even if it was water, even if it was a brave man, if it hit, it would at least be paralyzed on one side.

“Tsk—wuwuwuwu—”

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was immediately filled with wind.

While closing his mouth, Aize took out a second ball of clay from his pocket and threw it with all his strength towards the river below.

The tiny piece of soil immediately blossomed the moment it touched the water surface, and the huge water puppet almost immediately completed its shape.

Reached out his hand towards Aize in the air.

I don't know how much better this is than falling into the water, but let's give it a try.

Aize hugged himself and prepared for the impact.

Then--

"Um?"

At the moment before he hit it, the water puppet's body suddenly disintegrated.

The scattered fragments surrounded Aize as if they had life, supporting him and helping him slow down his rapid fall.

Finally, it fell into the river at a relatively steady speed.

"Cough cough cough - cough cough cough - I'm afraid, who laid the pebbles in the river, fuck -"

Aize struggled to get up. His forehead was swollen from the impact of landing. Needless to say, he was soaked all over. His whole body was in so much pain from the thrill of the ropeless bungee jumping that it felt like it was about to fall apart.

Although I'm grateful to Alicia for saving me, isn't this a bit too wild?

"Aize, how are you? Are you hurt?"

"well?"

Looking up in the direction of the voice, Aize saw Villian's familiar black cat squatting on the river bank looking at him.

It also makes the sound, which looks a bit strange.

"It's okay...it's nothing serious."

Time is running out. Duke Brian is no fool and will soon block the city gates.

I must escape before then.

He struggled to stand up from the river bank, jumped up, grabbed the edge of the bank and climbed over. After shaking off his wet coat, he ran towards the city gate.

The familiar black cat ran beside it.

Aize asked:

"How's it going over there? Any results?"

"Well, Lord Taffia, Sean Edgar, and his family have all been rescued. I and the others are waiting outside the city. You're the only one missing!"

If Sheen was imprisoned in the city, he was either in the lord's mansion or outside the lord's mansion - nonsense.

Among these, the possibility of it being outside the mansion is obviously higher.

Because the lord's mansion is not only a residence, but also the office of the nobles. In order to handle various daily affairs, there are many people coming and going.

If Brian really used the puppet to replicate Azer, it means that he still wants to maintain the normal operation of Tafia to at least some extent.

In this case, keeping people in the house would only add unnecessary risks.

Of course, this is just speculation and not absolute.

And even if we knew it wasn't in the mansion, Tafia's range was still staggeringly large.

That's why Aize planned the puppet attack.

On the one hand, this was to divert the guards of the house so that Aize could sneak in smoothly.

On the other hand, this would also be considered as alerting the enemy.

Brian didn't know where these puppets came from or what their purpose was.

To be on the safe side, reinforcements will definitely be sent to the place where Sheen is imprisoned to ensure safety.

Villian would use bird-shaped witches to track these guard teams. If no puppets appeared at the place where a team of guards was heading, it was most likely the place where they were being held.

Afterwards, Aize created chaos in the lord's mansion and called back the reinforcements, so that Villian could take advantage of the opportunity to rescue the people.

Then, in the midst of chaos, they took the lead in sending people out of the city.

The plan went smoothly overall. The difference was that the original idea was that Aize would create puppets in the mansion to cause chaos, rather than pulling monsters himself.

Rufus's witch identity and Alicia's unexpected presence almost led to a disaster, but the result was satisfactory.

Villian complained:

"Really? They're messing around again! I'm getting so nervous looking at the situation in the house!"

After all, they left the city after rescuing the people. If something really happened to Aize, Villian would not be able to save him even if she wanted to.

Finally, she relied on the water puppet to catch her breath, because the clay prepared in advance had her magic power.

Otherwise, if he couldn't even do this, Aize would probably fall directly into the water and be broken into pieces.

"What can I do?! There are so many unexpected situations... Ah--A-choo--so many unexpected situations!"

It's a bit cold to run even though I'm soaking wet.

"Unexpected situation... That person is Miss Alicia, right?"

"Yes."

Villian was silent for a moment and asked:

"She...what's wrong? Are you just going to leave her alone?"

Aize sighed and shook his head.

"We can't control it. Now that we have it, none of us can escape. We must ensure the safety of Sheen and the others first!"

Alicia still had unrealistic expectations of Brian. Some things were useless to talk about, so it would be better to let her witness them in person.

Besides, Aize wasn't too worried about her.

Brian knows his own character. He is very ambitious, but he is also very cautious when doing things.

He would definitely use Alicia to her full potential, rather than killing her at will, as she is the only one like her in the entire world.

So, we should see each other again soon.

Running all the way, the city wall and the city gate were right in front of him, but Aize seemed to be a little slow.

Brian's men rode their horses to the city gate, but it was already closing.

"Tsk, if we get stuck inside..."

"Aize, look up!"

Looking up, I saw two of Villian's bird-shaped familiars flying towards me side by side, lowering their altitude to the point where they could be easily caught with just a stretch of my hand.

Aize immediately understood what he meant. He stretched out his hand and let the cat-shaped familiar next to him jump up and climb up his arm to his shoulder.

Then he jumped up, grabbed the legs of the two birds, and was lifted into the air. In the astonished eyes of the guards, he flew over the city wall.

Then it landed.

“Here, hurry up!!”

Not far away on the road was a carriage that was quite large, large enough to accommodate several people.

Before the action, Villian hired him with money to prepare for the retreat.

At this moment, the witch lady who was already sitting on it leaned out and waved at him.

The city was in an uproar.

The knights that Brian belonged to were ready to pursue, and Aize could even hear the heavy sound of horse hooves approaching at a very fast speed.

Time is running out.

Aize flew into the carriage in two steps, and at the same time, Villian yelled at the driver:

"Let's go! Hurry, hurry!"

The hired driver certainly had no idea what was happening, and had never seen such a scene before. What had happened in the past few seconds had already frightened him to the point of being a little confused:

"Hey... Mr. Guest, if you're being hunted, then I'd rather not do this business with you... Ugh!!!"

Without further ado, Villian activated her magic power, compressing the moisture in the air into a crystal clear and extremely sharp blade, pointing it at the driver.

"You won't do it? Ask this first? Now go! I'll give you triple the money! Hurry up or you'll all die!!"

If I had known this would happen, the driver would not have taken the business even if offered three, five, or ten times the money.

But there is no way. If I do it now, I may die. If I don’t do it, I will definitely die. So what else can I do?

The driver gritted his teeth, steeled himself, whipped the horse, and ran in the direction Villian had indicated.

After doing this, Villian stood up, grabbed the edge of the carriage and looked back.

Over there, the originally closed city gate had been opened again, and dozens of knights wearing dazzling armor raised their lances and chased after them at the fastest speed.

War horses are already fast, not to mention there is a large cart here, so they will be caught up in a few minutes.

"Those guys who don't know how to live or die!!!"
