Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 204 The Executioner

After Lin Ran returned, he got the news that Mo Fan was attacked by a member of the Black Church. This was a bit surprising. After all, there were many temple mages here. This member of the Black Church must have a strong disguise, otherwise it would be a waste of time to attack people here.

Mo Fan tore off the bandages on his body and said, "That guy must still be here. I won't be able to sleep if I don't get rid of him."

“That guy should be the executioner of the Black Church. He is very powerful. Most of them are extremely arrogant. There is almost no assassination or assassination that they cannot complete. This group of people is quite scary.” Oruna walked over and said to Mo Fan.

It was the first time that Mo Fan heard the term executioner. The blue-robed deacons he had met before were rarely so powerful. Most of these blue-robed deacons hid in the dark and used some unprepared conspiracy tactics.

“The Black Church will send executioners to deal with you, so it seems that you are very important to the Black Church.” said a wizard from the Purple Wind Temple.

“No matter what, don’t leave the Temple of Liberty in the near future. The executioner’s movements are strange and his disguise is very strong. There have been cases where the Black Church executioner committed crimes in national magic associations and successfully escaped. If you don’t want to die young, then wait for us to investigate thoroughly before making other plans.” Oruna said to Mo Fan seriously.

Then Oruna said, “Lin Ran, please persuade Mo Fan and don’t let him go to dangerous places.”

“Yeah.” Lin Ran nodded. Of course, his idea was to use Mo Fan as bait, so that he could kill this damn executioner.

The leaders of the Temple of Liberty were also extremely furious because of this incident. These members of the Black Church had become so bold as to commit crimes in the downtown area, so many temple mages were dispatched at once and began searching the city for this member of the Black Church.

……

Three days later, the temple mages still found nothing. They couldn't find the executioner at all.

And Mo Fan couldn't stay in the Temple of Liberty in New York forever. Thinking of the girl who was injured and seriously ill in the hospital because of him, Mo Fan picked up the phone and dialed the number on the business card. Damn Lin Ran must have had a good time with Mu Nujiao or Mu Ningxue.

"Hello, is that you, wizard?" The girl's sweet voice made people feel a little better.

"Eh? How do you know it's me?" Mo Fan was a little surprised.

"Hehehe, I came here alone, so you are probably the only one who would call me." said the girl. Her voice was very light and she didn't sound weak or seriously ill. She must have recovered well recently.

"I'm sorry, I got you into trouble." Mo Fan said apologetically.

"How can I blame you? It was you who saved me. So, have you caught that guy?" said the girl.

“Not yet. This bastard is very good at disguising himself.” Mo Fan said.

"Really? But I seem to have seen that person before," said the girl.

"Have you seen it?" Mo Fan couldn't help but ask.

"Well, I can recognize anyone I've met no matter how he's dressed or what kind of makeup he's wearing, and I also know his last name," said the girl.

"Oh my god, you know this?"

“Well, he came to buy drinks from me ten minutes before you. There were a lot of customers at that time, so I asked him for his last name so that I could register each drink. He said his last name very directly, and I could feel that he didn’t deliberately hide it. Maybe a wizard as evil and powerful as him didn’t even consider that I would remember him.” The girl said to Mo Fan.

Mo Fan was extremely excited. He didn't expect that the girl he was protecting while injured was such a considerate person.

“Okay, describe yourself in detail, and I’ll have someone look up his information later.” Mo Fan said.

Mo Fan then contacted the omnipotent Lingling. Lingling was a hunter and also had some knowledge of human faces. After listening to the injured girl's description, she copied the person's appearance one by one.

"Do you think his last name is real?" Mo Fan asked Lingling.

"Of course!"

……

"How about I push you out to get some fresh air?" The handsome black-haired young man smiled at the girl on the hospital bed.

"Then thank you for your help." The girl nodded, and then her eyes fell on the young man. The young man had been here for two days. He was a caregiver and was very attentive. At least everyone around here liked him very much.

After sitting in the wheelchair, she said, "It's a nice day today."

"Yeah." The young man nodded.

He was naturally Lin Ran. He came here to wait for the executioner and protect the girl. After all, Mo Fan was safe now. If the executioner wanted to continue to attack Mo Fan, then the only option was this girl. However, the executioner was too vigilant. He captured the breath several times, but the person did not come out. What a fucking turtle!
Lin Ran removed the fallen leaves from the girl's hair.

The girl said, "Don't throw it away."

Lin Ran handed the leaf to the girl, who smiled with satisfaction. She said, "It's like a dream."

"Yeah." Lin Ran said.

The girl coughed and then said, "Can I come and play with you later?"

Lin Ran: “…”

"I will be transferred soon." Lin Ran said.

"Oh..." The girl didn't say anything.

After a few minutes, she said, "Take me back."

"Yeah." Lin Ran did not refuse.

After returning to the ward, the girl fell asleep. Lin Ran gently closed the door and walked out. He stayed outside so that if the girl was in any danger, he could rescue her in time.

The girl in the ward took out her cell phone and sent a sad status. Lin Ran's meticulous care made this little girl who was far away in a foreign country very happy. She even had the idea of being sick all the time. It was a pity that he would leave here soon, and she didn't know if she could meet such a caregiver in the future.

the next day.

The girl was scrolling through the interesting messages, and the slight sadness she felt yesterday was completely gone.

At this time, a person walked in, apparently to pick up the garbage, but the garbage here has always been cleaned up by Lin Ran. She looked at this person, and suddenly her expression stiffened, but she quickly regained her composure. She couldn't panic now.

The girl looked calm and as if nothing had happened. She was sending a message to Mo Fan.

"Can you do me a favor?" the man suddenly said, and then he pulled off the mask to reveal his face.

He was the one who attacked Mo Fan before.

"Why don't you wait any longer?" a lazy voice appeared.

The girl and the man turned around and saw Lin Ran leaning against the wall with a lazy look on his face.

Just as the girl was about to let Lin Ran run, ice spikes extended from the man's body and stabbed towards Lin Ran.

"After all, he is just a high-level wizard. It's really not worth wasting time on someone like you." Lin Ran's fair hands easily crushed the ice spikes, which couldn't even pierce his skin.

Lin Ran didn't want to waste time, so he slapped the man and knocked him unconscious.

A few minutes later, Mo Fan came back breathless. He looked at the girl, Lin Ran, and the knocked-out man in surprise.

"Yo~!" Lin Ran waved his hand and said.

"Why are you here?" Mo Fan thought Lin Ran was immersed in the land of gentleness.

"It seems that sitting back and waiting for something to happen is effective." Lin Ran said.

The girl looked at Mo Fan and Lin Ran and then asked, "Do you know each other?"

"Well, are you okay?" Mo Fan asked. The girl smiled and said, "I'm fine."

Afterwards, the executioner was taken away by the temple wizard.

Lin Ran and Mo Fan also went back together.

……

Ai Jiangtu glanced at the two men and then said to Lin Ran and Mo Fan: "Although we have arrested the executioner, the Black Church still succeeded this time."

"Succeeded, what did they succeed in?" Mo Fan asked in confusion.

Lin Ran was also a little surprised.

"This Pei Li is just a bait."

“Bait?” Mo Fan was confused.

Lin Ran looked at Ai Jiangtu silently.

“Do you think that given the cunning of the Black Church, they would really be stupid enough to commit murder in the streets?” Ai Jiangtu said.

“This is also what confuses me.” Mo Fan said.

Mo Fan thought that given the Black Church’s style of doing things, they would probably find a place where he was alone and in a remote place to attack him. This way, not only would the chances of success be high, but they would also be able to escape unscathed if they failed.

However, Pei Li's behavior was arrogant and strange. He took action less than five kilometers away from the Temple of Liberty. Doesn't this mean that he wants the people from the Temple of Liberty to come for support quickly? Even if Pei Li knew the movements of the Temple of Liberty very well, it was still too big a risk.

"Isn't their intention to kill me?" Mo Fan suddenly felt something was wrong, so he asked.

Lin Ran thought for a moment and said, "Is it possible that you are just one of the targets?"

"Lin Ran is right. They wanted to kill you. Killing you was just one of their goals, or in other words, it was just something they did incidentally. On the night when you, Pei Li, committed the crime in the street, a forbidden item from the Temple of Liberty disappeared." Ai Jiangtu said.

"Is this guy a bait?" Mo Fan said.

"Well, the real owner should have left New York with the forbidden item. They deliberately made such a big fuss and stole the temple's forbidden item through Pei Li's ability to grasp the movements of the temple mages. Of course, killing you was also one of their goals. Unfortunately, they killed two birds with one stone... The Temple of Liberty only discovered it not long ago." Ai Jiangtu said.

Mo Fan's heart sank.

Saran, this bitch, her methods are really infuriating.

"What is that forbidden item? Is it important? What is its function?" Lin Ran asked.

"I know very little. The Temple of Liberty will probably not take the initiative to publicize this theft. Forget it. No matter what, we have arrested Pei Li, so it is not a heavy loss. Pei Li has been handed over to the Temple of Liberty. I hope they can recover their stolen things from Pei Li." Ai Jiangtu said.

"Yeah." Lin Ran and Mo Fan nodded.

……

The next few days were all rest time, so Lin Ran planned to have a good rest for a few days, while Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan were still running around.

In the early morning, he climbed out of bed carefully. This was Mu Ningxue's room, not his.

After putting on his clothes, he quickly returned to his room.

Mu Ningxue should now team up with Mu Nujiao to fight against the players from the United States.

When Mu Nujiao came to call Mu Ningxue in the morning, he was startled.

A few minutes later he met Mu Tingying at the dining area. The woman was eating, and there was no one else around her. Was she isolated?

If this annoying woman Mu Tingying hadn't been looking for trouble, she wouldn't have been isolated.

Lin Ran walked up to Mu Tingying and said, "You have a good appetite. Why are you eating so much?"

"Shut up." Mu Tingying said. In her opinion, Lin Ran was definitely here to make fun of her.

"Okay, I want to eat too." Lin Ran started eating. The food here tasted pretty good.

Although Mu Tingying was a hateful person, she had received etiquette training. At least she looked quite elegant when eating, unlike him and Mo Fan who always wolfed down their food.

Lin Ran ate while observing Mu Tingying. Noticing Lin Ran's gaze, Mu Tingying asked, "Is there something?"

"No, I just think you look good when you don't talk." Lin Ran said.

"Hehehe." Mu Tingying sneered.

After Mu Tingying finished eating, she said, "Don't follow me."

Lin Ran: “…”

Well, before Mu Tingying said it, he had no interest, but as soon as she said not to follow her, he became interested.

Lin Ran caught up with Mu Tingying's pace. A few minutes later, the woman entered a clothing store and Lin Ran also walked in.

Mu Tingying seemed to be here to buy a bra.

After a while, Mu Tingying came out. She had changed into beautiful clothes and looked like a noble person.

Mu Tingying was very rich, so she bought a lot of things in a short while. After finishing, the waitress put the bag in Lin Ran's hand and said, "Your girlfriend is so beautiful."

Hearing this, Lin Ran laughed.

Mu Tingying felt that Lin Ran was mocking her, so she couldn't help but ask, "What's so funny?"

“But…but this lady actually said you are my girlfriend? Hahahaha, if Mo Fan knew about this, he would laugh to death.” Lin Ran said with great joy.

Mu Tingying walked up to Lin Ran in her high heels, looked into his eyes and said, "I really have no attraction to you at all?"

"Puchi!" Lin Ran was trying to hold back his laughter.

Mu Tingying felt her teeth itching, and she said viciously, "It's annoying."

Then turned and left.

Lin Ran raised the bag in his hand and said, "You don't want it anymore?"

"Carry it." Mu Tingying said without turning her head.

in the afternoon.

Lin Ran sat on the sofa and said, "Are you here just to go shopping today?"

He thought he could have some fun following Mu Tingying, but when he looked back, it seemed like he had been following her for a whole day.
