Half-elf Notebook

"Um?!"

The reality he saw in the example of extraordinary enhancement almost frightened the young man so much that he turned over and went into the house and retreated from the balcony on the other side.

He suspected that the princess was a high-ranking silver-level guard in disguise.

The purpose is to catch all these assassins who overestimate their own capabilities in one fell swoop.

The space jumping ring on his fingertip lit up, and he was ready to escape directly like he had done in countless failed missions in the past.

The young man had defeated more than a handful of silver-ranked warriors, but that was when he was prepared and the initiative was in his hands.

That's what he would do.

He would not use his life as a bargaining chip to gamble his strength, and he would definitely be able to defeat the opponent in a head-on battle.

And the gap between median silver and upper silver.

It is definitely not comparable to those low-level ones who rely on talent to achieve success overnight, or drink a few more bottles of potions, find an excellent mentor, and work hard for ten or eight years.

At least in the kingdom, the upper-level silver-level professionals that the young man knew all represented countless blood, battle results, huge resources, hard work and proud talents.

If I encounter it, I have no chance of winning at all.

He was convinced of this.

At this moment, his steps stopped.

The young man straightened his body very slowly and returned to his original observation posture.

This time, the casualness and leisureliness disappeared from his expression.

What replaced it was a kind of indifference, an indifference without the intention to kill and without deliberately keeping a close eye on the target.

At this moment, the aura that could be sensed from him completely disappeared.

It's like a masonry building blending into the night.

He did not give up the mission, he sensed something was wrong...or something was strange.

In order to ensure his successful escape, his perception had already been tempered to the extreme.

And the corner of his eyes never left the "princess".

But to his surprise, the terrifying princess did not pursue.

"Still waiting?"

An idea popped into his mind, but he couldn't figure out why.

He was very sure that he himself could not understand the move he had just performed.

It will only be more powerful than you imagine.

"Waiting for my non-existent accomplice to show up?"

The young man quickly denied it.

Archers and magicians are different, but their jobs on the battlefield are surprisingly similar.

Give the enemy the first blow and harassment.

And cover the retreat of their own people.

Their attack often means the beginning of a battle, while conversely, it is a signal for one side to retreat.

If the other party lets the young man leave, they will gain nothing.

The real princess would still be assassinated.

If the other party's purpose was to wait for the youth's non-existent accomplice to take action, his location has been confirmed.

That is unless she is a gold-level monster.

Otherwise, the young man was sure to nail her to death in this stinking and drained slum within ten arrows.

No matter how weak his melee combat ability is, he is still a mid-level silver professional.

"No, maybe there is another possibility."

The bow and arrow were slowly raised. His movements were not slow, but they stopped and started from time to time, like a rusty gear.

"Seventh-level magic, Distorted Perspective, a magic I have never even seen before."

A new magic-destroying arrow was placed on the bowstring, and the tip of the arrow was already pointing at a target the size of a grain of rice.

"Anyway, you'll know after you give it a try. You should regret giving me the energy to activate the space jump, unknown upper-level silver-level lady."

However, at the same time, a black magician suddenly blocked the shooting range.

The young man, who had a panoramic view of all the changes, naturally saw it as well.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly:

"I see, it's the latter, and the one who came is an important figure."

A unique male voice with a magnetic feel came out of his mouth.

It is completely different from the gloom in the magic props.

He spoke out, which meant he didn't intend to hide anymore.

The arrow, which had accumulated enough kinetic energy, flew out of his hand, making a sharp scream before the voice faded away.

The metal bow also disappeared from the young man's hand.

Instead, it was replaced by a refined one-handed sword and a rectangular musket covered with exquisite carvings and inscriptions.

The next second, his figure disappeared into the darkness.

…………

"your Highness!"

The huge changes in the surrounding environment could not affect Shu Xi.

In the first moment after being teleported, most of his attention was focused on the girl who was kneeling on the ground and retching.

The powerful perception ability has fed back to Shu Xi a lot of useful or useless information.

Under the terrifying mental power of the superior wizard, he instantly gained control of his surroundings.

And this doesn't even require him to spend any extra energy on it.

Shu Xi walked quickly towards the princess, using his fingers to draw in the air quickly and steadily.

He was like a person behaving strangely, making meaningless movements.

In this process, there was no magical fluorescence and no magic circle materialized.

Without corresponding phenomena, what he did seemed extremely redundant.

But when Shu Xi's body touched the light blue barrier, something strange happened.

The indestructible barrier seemed like a real and transparent shadow at this moment, and he easily penetrated it.

"Your Highness, are you okay?"

Shu Xi shouted softly again.

The pupils that emerged from the magic circle scanned Meira, obtaining the information he needed.

Vital signs, heartbeat, magic power, physiological state, all of these passed through Shu Xi's spiritual power and mind.

As if she heard Shu Xi's call, Meira turned her head blankly.

I have to say it's a pretty face.

Even though there was sticky, transparent saliva remaining at the corners of his mouth and traces of tears all over it, he looked completely out of control.

There is no way to change this.

But the panic in her eyes and her occasional absent-mindedness always revealed the poor mental state of her owner.

Shu Xi could naturally see it.

Of course, he is not as good as a truly battle-hardened warrior who can observe the other party's condition by relying on some insignificant habitual movements of others.

It is easy to understand this little thing, and you don’t even need the magic eye.

But he doesn't care.

The information fed back by the magic eye told him that Mera was not injured and not in danger of life, and that was enough.

As for how to deal with it later, how to ensure the princess's mental health and calm the anger of the royal family.

This was not something a petty baron like him should consider.

This is something the viscounts and earls have to think about.

His responsibility was very simple: bring the princess back and keep her alive.

"It's okay, I'm here to pick up your guard."

Shu Xi tried his best to make his voice soothing and spoke gently.

He planned to teleport back in multiple times using two people's long-distance space jumps.

It is far beyond the perception range of the same-level silver-rank professionals and wizards.

He only found two professionals hiding their bodies behind the ruins.

They observed by glancing sideways or by reflecting firelight off the blade.

Shu Xi could confirm that they were assassins, a part of the assassins.

He had no idea what happened during the few minutes he was away.

After all, his spiritual perception was only to obtain information about the surroundings and could not recreate the past.

But he was not optimistic enough to think that the mastermind of this ridiculous assassination would send two bronze-level assassins of average strength to complete the last step.

The whole plan was ridiculously simple, yet terrifyingly efficient.

Just because they dared to spend a huge price to send an ordinary person to carry out the plan in front of three silver-level knights, two silver-level professionals, and more than fifty knights of the kingdom's top knights.

And success is enough to prove it.

Shu Xi moved his mind, and the magic he condensed was enough to blow half of the bodies of the two lower bronze rank people off.

He could just pick up the princess and walk back to the club.

But he won't, because he has a feeling it won't work.

Unnecessary behavior means change, and change often means that Shuxi needs to spend more energy and attention on it.

So he chose to maintain the status quo.
