This damn elf! She's crazy!

She is forcing me to kill her, but why is she doing this?

My mind was in a mess at this moment, and I even imagined the tall female killer twisting off Polly's head in my mind.

No, I couldn't let this happen. She had to die! But... would her death really allow Polly to be saved?

I couldn't care less at this moment, and the moment she said the word "3", I pulled the metal mechanism of the weapon.

With a terrifying sound, the weapon in my hand suddenly burst out with a strong impact and pushed me back to the sofa. My hands were so painful from the impact, and the moment the weapon made the sound, I I even thought for a while that my heart was no longer beating.

I was filled with fear about the weapon in my hand, but I didn't let it go easily because I was afraid that after I let go, it would be controlled by others and become a weapon to kill me. When I tried to let go After falling down, I thought that the crazy elf must be dead, just like the people they killed that night, who were bleeding and dying slowly and painfully...

When I looked at her, something completely unexpected appeared.

"This is impossible! Why aren't you dead yet?!"

She did not have a horrible hole in her face as I imagined, and then fell on the sofa bleeding. On the contrary, she was still smiling, but that smile made me feel cold all over.

"Bang---bang---bang------"

I kept pulling the metal mechanism on the weapon at the elf in front of me. I lost count of the number of times, until no matter how many times I pulled the mechanism, it would not make that amazing sound. I knew that this weapon was no longer effective, but the elf still sat in front of me with a smile on her face. She even raised the wine glass in her hand to signal me.

I lost all my strength in panic and collapsed on the sofa. The weapon in my hand hit the table hard after I let go. I didn't even have the strength to get up and run away, so I could only look ahead. I have lost all means to fight against her, and now it is her turn to take action. Maybe I will die miserably and painfully. I don't even dare to turn my head to look at Polly, because I don't have the strength to turn my neck. I don’t even have the courage to move my eyes. The scene in my eyes has begun to become a little blurry. It seems that my consciousness is also a little shaken. My mind is dizzy and even my eyelids are trembling. According to some of my past experiences, this means that I am about to lose it. I became conscious, but I didn't think about the reason. I just wanted to figure out why she was so safe before I closed my eyes.

I gritted my teeth and tried hard to see clearly why she was not dead, but my vision became more and more out of control. I felt like I had been busy for two whole days without closing my eyes. I was exhausted. A series of feelings such as sleepiness and exhaustion stimulated my thoughts, as if there was a very sweet voice in my mind constantly whispering in my ears, "Sleep, sleep." It was a similar feeling.

I can't give up. Once I close my eyes, I will become a domestic animal that can be slaughtered...

"Then are you able to resist now?"

At this moment, I seemed to have an auditory hallucination, which may not be accurate, because the voice was actually my voice. I don’t know what exactly happened, but it seemed that another me appeared in my mind.

"Don't blindly immerse yourself in the sadness of Nancy's death. Look at the facts clearly. You made the wrong choice from the beginning."

No, I don't. As long as I have a powerful weapon, I can kill...

"Open your eyes! Look in front of you!"

I tried hard to steady my shaking eyes, and finally saw clearly the strange thing in front of her.

There seemed to be several very inconsistent black spots in the distance between us, but although my sight was no longer shaking, the scenery in my eyes was still a bit blurry. I tried to relax my tense nerves and gently

He exhaled softly and closed his eyes.

Relax, relax. You can't continue to panic. At least, you must understand why you lost to this elf before you die.

Thinking of this, I opened my eyes again, and this time everything became so clear. I could clearly see the true identity of those black spots, which were copper-yellow metal particles floating in the air. I remember

That should be the "arrow" fired by this weapon. It was this inconspicuous little "arrow" that caused the horrific wounds on the corpses. But why did the "arrow" float in the air instead of shooting through and injuring the elf?

?Isn’t this weapon actually a magic weapon?

"Elves...magic..."

At this moment, I suddenly understood the reason. Yes, it was magic.

My senses seemed to have recovered a bit, so I noticed the gentle breeze flowing around me. It was an extremely unnatural airflow that formed an invisible barrier between us, and the air that was shot out from the weapon before

Several "arrows" were unable to shoot forward precisely because they were squeezed into the air by this invisible and terrifying airflow.

I have seen this kind of magic before. When I went treasure hunting with my guild companions, I saw a great magician use this kind of magic to block the arrows shot by goblins. What is it called? Ah,

By the way, it's called "Air Shield". Yes, why am I so stupid? Elves are all born magicians...

Thinking of this, I closed my eyes reluctantly, and then my consciousness gradually fell into silence in the empty darkness.

I don't want to die yet.

"I don't want to die yet..."

"I don't intend to kill you either."

I looked at Liz who was gradually losing consciousness and fainting and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, everything was going on normally. I hope she would be a little better when she woke up again. I put the cup back on the table and lifted the magic.

Then the bullets blocked by magic all fell on the table with a "clatter". I stood up and picked up the pistol that fell across the table. At this time, Erica and Polly slowly

Walking over, Polly seemed to want to go up and see what happened to her sister, but she was afraid of my reaction, so she could only stand beside Erica anxiously and watch.

"Is it all over?"

"Not yet, but now she has nothing to do without me, and the rest is up to her."

While checking the pistol, I glanced at Liz who was sleeping on the sofa, and then briefly told Erica what I had just done.

"You... hypnotized her?"

"Yes."

"Are you going to control her?"

"Why should I do this?"

I was surprised why Erica thought I wanted to control Liz after hearing "hypnosis", but she also looked at me inexplicably after hearing my reply.

"Uh... hypnosis, isn't it... the use of psychological suggestion to control others? This kind of operation often appears in movies."

"Oh, so hypnosis can still be used in this way?"

"Isn't it?"

"I just induced her to lose control of her emotions and let her enter her deep consciousness. As for psychological suggestion, I really don't know how to do it."

"What's the reason you did this?"

I didn't rush to answer her question, but called Marco and asked him to come over.

"Can you find a guest room for her to rest for a while?"

I pointed at Liz sleeping on the sofa and asked him. However, Marco's expression was a little hesitant, as if he didn't want Liz to stay in the house anymore.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Argyle. This person is no longer the maid in the house...and her status is not suitable for her to continue to stay here."

"identity?"

"Yes, she is from the Thieves Guild...so..."

"Okay, I understand." I turned around and asked Erica to say, "Take her and let's leave."

Erica walked over and hugged Liz without asking any questions. Then I took Polly's little hand and walked out of the room together. When we just reached the first floor, we suddenly saw William leading a few guards in a hurry.

The man from the second floor came over. When he saw us, he bowed nervously.

"Good afternoon, ladies. I'm sorry that I was dealing with some official business so I didn't go out to greet you. Please forgive me."

"It's nothing, we just plan to buy some things and drop by the mansion to give something to Chris."

"Uh... thank you both for your generosity. Then I can ask about the gunshots just now..." William glanced at Erica behind me nervously, and focused on Liz in her arms.

.

"I'm sorry, I just caused a little commotion. Please tell Chris that I will bring some more gifts to apologize to her in a few days."

I didn’t explain too much to William, but simply returned the favor and quickly left the main entrance of the mansion with Erica and Polly. When we walked into the garden, we found that the guards had already led me over.

The horses, after briefly greeting the guards, we led the horses and left the main entrance of the garden of the mansion. It is not too early now, we need to find a hotel to stay first, at least until Liz wakes up.

Make your next plan.

After we left the mansion, I cast a disguise spell on myself while there was no one on the street. I didn’t change my gender, but simply changed into another human female appearance. Erica looked like

She didn't notice my changes, so she didn't react much, but Polly was a little frightened, but she didn't dare to break away from my hand, so she could only speak to me tremblingly.

"Argyle?"

"Yeah. It's okay. I changed my appearance and will change back in a while. Don't be afraid."

Polly nodded with a confused look on her face and didn't ask any more questions. She just walked quietly beside me. Since Erica was holding Liz all the time, it was inconvenient to ride a horse, so we had to walk to the outer city to find a hotel. We

He left the aristocratic area smoothly, and surprisingly did not encounter any guards to stop him. After all, not to mention Erica's strange clothes and holding a girl in a maid outfit, walking on the street in such a suspicious outfit was unimpeded.

It was simply impossible, so besides the guards, Erica frightened the noble family members on the road as expected.

We didn't speak during the whole journey. Erica looked very calm and I didn't know what she was thinking, but I was thinking about the two sisters in my mind. Unknowingly, we walked to the house where we lived before.

In front of a hotel, I looked up at the sign in front of the door, then shook my head with a wry smile and turned to look at Erica, who was being stared at by various passers-by.

"Shall we go in and stay another night?"

"It doesn't matter, you can go anywhere, just get off the street quickly."

"Oh, then I'll go in and ask if there are any vacancies."

"I'll go with you."

"You're still holding someone in your arms. It's easy for people to misunderstand you if you go in."

"Will I not be misunderstood on the street?"

Erica said and turned to look at the passers-by around her. I also followed her gaze and found that these people were peeking at Erica with surprised expressions on their faces, and several of them seemed to be whispering in a playful way.

Discussing something secretly.

"Forget it, let's go in together." I simply tied the reins of the two horses to the pillars in front of the door and walked in with Polly and Erica, regardless of the surprised expressions of the guests in the hall inside.
