The visitor took a few steps closer and stood still.
There was surprise and surprise in his eyes, and more of it was ecstasy that could not be concealed.
Because he has seen Barbara on Andrew's back!
I couldn't understand it for a while: How could the object Mr. Hobart asked us to arrest be with Andrew, a waste boy? Isn't this kid dying?
Forget it, it doesn't matter...
The visitor opened his mouth and said lightly, "So you're not dead yet, Andrew. If you don't come over to salute when you see the senior, what are you doing there? Didn't you hear me calling you!"
In this flame world, the status gap caused by the level difference between magic apprentices and magicians is very obvious.
The visitor is wearing the robe of an intermediate magic apprentice, so he can be so arrogant to Andrew, a "junior magic apprentice"! And according to the rules, Andrew couldn't resist.
So this kind of arrogance is different from Raymond's arrogance.
Behind this arrogance is the extremely strict magic hierarchy based on this flame world!
"Senior Pete."
Andrew also spoke.
At this time, the other party has been recognized.
In Hobert's magic laboratory, there are more than 100 junior apprentices, more than 50 intermediate apprentices, and ten senior magic apprentices. The two best of them have mastered at least three fire magics. You can pass the test and officially get the title of magician.
The man in front of him, named Pete, is usually not very good. He is one of the more than fifty intermediate magic apprentices.
"Did you deliberately press me with a higher status than me?"
Andrew sneered in his heart, "Thinking that I don't know that you are actually... the strength of an advanced magic apprentice!?"
Although I was startled by the sudden appearance of Pete just now, I thought it was a ghost.
But after calming down, it was actually very easy to judge: the other party must have some kind of fire magic that can "hide the breath".
His own "water telepathy" senses "breath" - the flame breath emanating from every muscle pimple of the flame warrior, the magical breath in the magic apprentices - even the water telepathy can't detect Pete in advance, it can be seen that he The sophistication of hidden magic.
Stealth magic is, of course, magic.
And "possessing at least one magic" itself is the criterion for a high-level magic apprentice!
Although this Pete looks like other intermediate magic apprentices, there is no difference at all, his kind of hidden magic does not interfere with the normal five senses.
But Andrew can be sure that this guy is 100% an advanced magic apprentice!
It's a duplicitous guy!
A question flashed in my heart: "Why hide the breath?"
In a world with strict hierarchies, it is reasonable to say that he should have reached the corresponding strength, so he should seek a higher rank immediately.
This Pete is clearly a senior apprentice, enough to enter the top five among the many apprentices, but he is willing to continue to play his identity as an intermediate magic apprentice.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter."
Andrew immediately put aside distractions and didn't think about it so much.
Now what is really important is: you already know the real level of the other party, but the other party doesn't know that you already know this!
"And you're not the only one who knows how to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger and 'disagree', I am too!"
Andrew sneered in his heart, "What about the senior magic apprentice? I originally planned to settle Barbara, so I went back to the town to trouble you guys, and now there are people who have taken the initiative to deliver them to the door ahead of time, then... I will be disrespectful, just take it early. Practice your hands!"
Quietly shrinking the range of "Water Spirit Sensing" to within ten meters, this time, I finally sensed the powerful flame aura in the opponent's body!
At the same time, Andrew's wrist flicked, and a stone that had been prepared in his sleeve quietly fell into his hand.
The water magic power stimulates the physique of the water body, and holds the stone firmly. Every texture and every edge on the stone seems to come to mind clearly through the palm of the hand.
Andrew silently poured a large amount of water magic power into the stone in his hand through his palm.
Although he still lacks a real combat magic, such as "water polo" and "water thorn", this is also the only thing he lacks now to face the old magician Hobert.
but!
Throwing a stone filled with water magic power with the accuracy of water body physique is definitely not weak!
The attack power may be slightly inferior to the "spunlace props" used once before, but it is better than the attack distance and accuracy!
Seeing that Andrew didn't say a word, Pete on the opposite side showed a hint of viciousness on his face, and said with a low smile: "Andrew, I think you seem to have forgotten your identity, why, do you think you are the best among the junior magic apprentices? Useless waste, qualified to take credit with me?"
Pete had already figured out why Andrew was here, with Barbara.
Undoubtedly, I also want to have a share of this hunt for Barbara!
"Hehe, do you want to capture this chick and give it to Teacher Hobart, so that he can spare your life and cure your lungs?"
Pete said with a low smile, his voice getting lower and lower, but the maliciousness in his words became stronger and stronger, "Stop dreaming! Don't say that Mr. Hobart can't save you, there is no way to cure lung burns in this world, Even if the teacher can save you, do you think he will take action? Teacher, he can't take care of himself now!"
Andrew's heart moved when he heard this.
I just heard Pete finally say: "Obey, give me the little girl on your back, and I will give you a happy death. This is a little kindness from the senior to you, a 'rescue hero', hehe. "
"Okay." Andrew replied.
"Huh?" Pete frowned.
I saw Andrew slowly put Barbara behind him, put him down, and said at the same time, "I don't want anyone, I'll give it to you. I'm not participating in this search operation, I... shouldn't have participated in this kind of thing in the first place. It came from things that didn't have my place."
The mouth speaks words of admonishment.
The performance ability of the water body physique is vividly displayed at this moment.
At the same time, at the moment when he bent down and put the girl down, at the moment when normal people would think that there was the most impossibility of attacking——
call out!
With a flick of his wrist, Andrew was already filled with water magic, and even a layer of water-blue light appeared on the surface, and he let go.
Go through the night and shoot straight at Pete's face door!
"This--!?"
Pete couldn't help being shocked, what's going on? Although the sudden braking when Andrew was called out by him made Pete a little surprised. But Pete never imagined that Andrew not only dared to resist, but also took the initiative? !
"Damn, it seems that I won't let you see my true strength. You don't know how to write dead words!"
Pete was furious, but not flustered.
With a wave of his hand, a stream of flames fell in front of him like a curtain.
With a puff, the stone thrown by Andrew smashed into the curtain formed by the flowing flames.
It was like a stone sinking into the sea, not a single splash of water splashed!
"Hmph, I don't eat a toast and take a penalty drink! Why do you think I always keep a distance of ten meters from you! At a casting distance of ten meters, I am not afraid of sneak attacks!"
Pete said sharply, "Don't talk about you rubbish, even if you are a flame warrior who is good at attacking a fortress or a hunter who is good at assassinating, don't even think about shooting ten meters away and hurting me!"
"Is it?"
A faint voice sounded from behind Pete.
Pete froze, his body froze.
With just a wave of his hand, he unleashed his proud self-defense magic "Flame Curtain". When the magic was dissipated, Pete realized that on the ground ahead, only Barbara, who was sleeping peacefully and soundly like a Sleeping Beauty, was left. , but the Andrews are gone!
Andrew didn't expect to kill each other with a single stone, and that was too easy for the advanced magic apprentices in this world.
Throwing stones is just a trick.
In fact, the moment Andrew threw the stone, it started.
Quietly, it has turned behind Pete!
"So, Senior Pete, your safe casting distance is ten meters."
At this time, in Andrew's voice as quiet as water, there seemed to be a kind of ice-piercing coldness, the kind of cold that made Pete's scalp explode!
"Since you can't hurt you ten meters away, what about now?"
