Chapter 237

Under the restraint of the vines and in a state where half of her body was petrified, Tina could not break free at all and could only watch the Miss Cuiye Witch walking toward her.

This time, she was afraid she would fall.

The originally noisy crowd behind suddenly went quiet.

Whoosh!

The sound of breaking air suddenly rang out.

A black, slender hidden weapon flew in from behind Tina; it was a cone-shaped weapon the thickness of a thumb, which fixed itself in front of the Miss Cuiye Witch.

Ding!

The metal at the tail vibrated on the ground, forming a hum.

"I can't just watch my Tina be taken away by someone else."

"The street is damaged so severely, it's also very headache-inducing, sigh!" Gagaran carried a warhammer on her shoulder, her striking height and sturdy figure causing the surrounding crowd to automatically part a path.

Following beside Gagaran was Evileye, who was wrapped in a red robe and had a petite figure.

Crack!

Crack!

The vines that had originally bound Tina suddenly shattered and scattered in all directions.

A figure whose appearance and clothing were carved from the same mold as Tina emerged from Tina's shadow, grabbed Tina's shoulder, and with a flash, disappeared from the spot.

When the two appeared again.

Tia had already brought Tina to the front of Gagaran and Evileye.

"Oh my, Tina, half of your body has turned to stone; are you planning to become a gargoyle? I feel like knocking on it would definitely be louder than knocking on bone."

Gagaran saw Tina, whose half body was petrified, and grinned, revealing snow-white teeth.

Tina's eye twitched, and she was expressionless: "That won't happen."

"Petrification magic, good luck, no need to deal with it later."

Evileye simply glanced at Tina's situation, raised her palm toward the petrified part, and a deep, resonant tone sounded from behind the mask:

"Petrification Release!"

Swish!

The petrified body receded like a tide, and it returned to normal after a few breaths.

Tina only felt her body loosen, her body that had lost control regained sensation, she swung her arm, and stood up.

Looking at the wary Miss Cuiye Witch opposite, Tina said in a calm voice: "The opponent is a demi-human, mastering dual magic of the Faith-type and Magic-type; her strength is very strong."

"I saw it." Evileye said faintly.

The way the Miss Cuiye Witch changed her appearance through magic items was not considered a superior disguise method in Evileye's eyes.

"How pathetic." Tia mocked, and took the opportunity to make a few gestures with her hands.

Tina's eye twitched again: "I was careless."

Facing the relaxed atmosphere where the four were joking with each other,

The Miss Cuiye Witch's hands flickered with faint magic, seemingly ready to release magic at any time, her bright yellow pupils staring tightly at the shortest figure among the four.

Intuition told her that the opponent was very dangerous!

With the appearance of the four members of "Blue Rose", the noisy atmosphere around became quiet; the reputation and prestige of the top adventurer team were revealed at this moment.

"That demi-human lady, if you were my teammate, and the previous behavior caused your dissatisfaction, then the result of the battle just now should have already vented your anger."

Gagaran carried the giant long hammer on her shoulder, her hands resting on the hammer handle, with a half-smiling expression on her square cheeks.

The Miss Cuiye Witch took a step back, her heart sinking.

The four people opposite were not ordinary humans.

If their strength was similar to the human she had barely defeated just now, then even if she summoned her sister, she was afraid she would not be an opponent.

Especially that petite figure wrapped in a red robe, which gave the Miss Cuiye Witch a feeling of her hair standing on end.

Very strong!

She didn't expect there to be such powerhouses among humans.

Seeing that the Miss Cuiye Witch did not speak, but only looked at the four of them with vigilance and caution.

Ding!

A trace of helplessness appeared on Gagaran's cheeks; she raised her finger and tapped the hammer handle, emitting a crisp sound.

Seeing the Miss Cuiye Witch's appearance, it was clearly not easy to communicate; if it were a human, it would be fine, but the opponent's demi-human status made Gagaran unsure of how to communicate directly.

Evileye observed the Miss Cuiye Witch through her mask and suddenly spoke in a low, deep tone: "What kind of demi-human are you?"

"Ordinary demi-humans shouldn't need to use magic items for disguise, right?"

In human society, although demi-humans are relatively rare, they are not non-existent; demi-humans like elves, rabbit-men, and dwarves do not need to disguise themselves.

Unless the opponent's external image has a relatively obvious difference from humans, and the most representative one is the Empire's "Warrior King" Go-Jin.

With the strength displayed by Go-Jin, even in human society, he is extremely respected!

It can also be said that as long as one is a powerhouse.

No matter where they are or what race they are, they will not be looked down upon; even the Slane Theocracy, that group of "Human Supremacy" believers, would not rashly crusade against such a powerhouse as long as the demi-humans do not do things that harm humans.

"A bit suspicious." Evileye spoke faintly, and then her voice sank: "A genius alchemist who makes alchemical potions with demi-human blood, with a demi-human by his side."

"And, they haven't appeared for so many days, so. Where is your team leader?"

Gagaran raised her eyebrows; she understood the meaning in Evileye's words, seemingly suspecting the possibility that the leader of "Free Will" was being coerced by this demi-human magic caster.

"That's none of your business." The Miss Cuiye Witch snorted coldly.

The air went quiet.

The atmosphere that had just relaxed became tense again at this moment. Step! Step!

The sound of running footsteps.

Enri trotted over from behind and stood beside the Miss Cuiye Witch; although she was very nervous, she gathered her courage and shouted loudly at the four people in front:

"Miss Miss Cuiye is a good person, I won't allow you to say that!"

Enri pursed her lips, extremely serious.

There were four people opposite, but Miss Miss Cuiye was only one person; although she had no strength, she did not want to let Miss Miss Cuiye face them alone.

The clear and firm voice made the four members of "Blue Rose" startle.

Ordinary person?

Evileye looked at Enri through her mask and suddenly remembered that Gagaran had mentioned that there was an ordinary girl in "Free Will".

The suspicion that had just risen in her heart dissipated a lot the moment she saw Enri, but more doubts emerged from her heart.

An adventurer team of three people in total, an ordinary girl, a demi-human magic caster, and the leader is an alchemist who makes potions with demi-human blood.

A completely incomprehensible combination.

Truly too strange!

Evileye had always been uninterested in most things, but at this moment, she became inexplicably interested in that leader.

Not a single error, not a single mistake, look at it at a glance!

She felt that perhaps he was an interesting person.

"I said it just now, let's stop here." Gagaran saw that Evileye no longer spoke, her heart relaxed, and her tone rose a bit.

This sentence was not only said to the two opposite, but also a reminder to her own side.

"Hello, my name is Gagaran; my teammate's behavior caused a misunderstanding. I don't know if the set of magic items on you can be sold to us."

Gagaran tried her best to put a kind smile on her rugged face, and then spoke to Enri.

"No, I can't."

Enri looked soft and weak, but her tone did not have a trace of hesitation, and she said decisively:

"This was given to me by the Master; unless the Master agrees, it won't work."

Master?

Is that the leader of "Free Will"?

Gagaran understood in her heart; since they were fellow adventurers and not enemies, there was naturally no need to take strong measures, and she waved her hand awkwardly: "Alright then."

Tina stood to the side; even without raising her head, she felt Gagaran's gaze looking at her.

There would be no lack of education when she got back.

Tina sighed; as for that set of magic items, she would need to use other methods to get them back.

And Tia, who had not spoken the whole time, at this moment, had satisfaction in her eyes, sizing up Enri opposite.

As a yuri fan.

Enri could not be called excellent, but the expression of her personality made Tia appreciate her.

"Your name is Enri, right?" Tia suddenly spoke.

"Ah, that's right."

Suddenly being called by name, Enri answered subconsciously, not knowing for a moment whether to look at Tia or Tina.

The two people looked exactly the same.

Click—click—

The sound of armor rubbing and colliding gradually sounded from both sides of the street; the gathered crowd quickly dispersed, and fully armed soldiers surged in from the path cleared by the crowd.

In an instant!

They surrounded the Miss Cuiye Witch and the group of "Blue Rose" in the field.

These soldiers numbered more than 20, each holding a silver-headed long spear nearly two meters long, wearing leather armor on their upper bodies, with silver protective gear on their chests, both sides of their shoulders, both sides of their elbows, and both knees.

Just looking at the equipment, they were already elite soldiers in the Kingdom.

The commotion and destruction caused by the battle just now were no longer something that ordinary patrolling guards could intervene in; it was clear that someone had reported it, triggering this elite soldier unit.

Gagaran saw this scene, but there was no surprise on her face, she just shrugged her shoulders.

After dealing with Tina's matter just now, she didn't take people away immediately because she knew this matter could not be ended hastily.

Even with their current adventurer rank, and even bringing up the Captain's noble status, they would at least have to go through the motions.

Enri trembled in fear; the momentum she had just gathered to face "Blue Rose" disappeared instantly, and her face was full of panic.

As an ordinary person, facing the country's soldiers, Enri naturally had feelings of fear and dread.

Following the soldiers surrounding the few people in the field.

Immediately following, cheers and excited whispers came from the crowd.

A male figure wearing very simple light gray clothing walked out from the crowd; to describe him as capable and experienced would be most appropriate.

The gaze of most civilians seeing this figure was filled with an emotion called "excitement".

And with his appearance, even the many soldiers surrounding the Miss Cuiye Witch and others held their long spears more steadily.

"Even he has come?" Gagaran saw the other party, and surprise also appeared on her square face.

Champion of the "Royal Tournament"!

A commoner, "Warrior Captain" Gazef!
