When she was in Welsk City, Chris did not see with her own eyes the appearance of the monster that almost demolished half of the city, but she did study it carefully from the oral accounts of the knights and city guards and the paintings of intelligence personnel.

The appearance of the monsters, and even later during Lavender and a series of other incidents, Chris silently gained a clearer understanding of these so-called "alien gods" dependent monsters.

Based on these experiences, Chris determined that the humanoid monster she saw in the secret room in the sewer was a flesh puppet. However, the size of this monster was much smaller than that of the same type of monster that appeared in the principality some time ago.

There are many, and many of the details are more human-like. In particular, the head is not completely degraded, and traces of human facial features can still be clearly seen.

Chris knows the details very well, and at this time she has no chance to spend time thinking or asking anyone. After all, she is not completely out of danger yet. According to Chris's understanding, monsters like flesh puppets are

Her tracking ability is not very good, but that refers to those big guys, and Erica has admitted this herself, but for some reason, the type that Chris encountered this time was biting like a hound.

Don't let go yourself.

Vision doesn't play much role in this kind of dim sewer. Chris can distinguish the route in the sewer basically by relying on the directions and the sewer structure diagram of Trikla City in memory. And the sense of smell is in the sewer with strong smell.

On the contrary, there will be some obstacles in the distance. At least Chris doesn't think that a guy with a sensitive sense of smell will be tortured in such a place. And the last thing about hearing is even more confusing. After all, there is always gurgling sewage in the sewer.

For this reason, it is not a big problem for these continuous noises to cover up Chris's gentle footsteps. In short, Chris has never understood why the escape route she chose can be accurately discovered by the monster, and even

Chris had tried to hide away from the monster before, but failed miserably. Fortunately, Chris was quite agile in reaching out, and was not caught by the monster except for a section of her sleeve being torn off.

This time, Chris made a big detour and created the opportunity to rush to the nearby sewer exit. However, even though there was an iron door blocking her, Chris still did not dare to relax her vigilance. At least she felt that since the monster had been hunting her,

If so, then he might not chase him to the streets above ground.

If there are enough city guards or lion guards patrolling the streets, then Chris can safely escape by rushing to the street with the monsters. She may even be able to kill the monsters directly when surrounded by powerful lion guards.

But unfortunately, Chris judged based on her memory and location that the exit she chose was a densely populated residential area. There are usually no armed guards patrolling the area. If she rushed out and the monsters were chasing after her, then maybe

Other innocent civilians will also be implicated.

Chris doesn't think she is a dedicated person, but she doesn't think she is a selfish person either. At least there is room for maneuver in her judgment on this matter. After all, the reason why the monster is chasing

The fact that he didn't let him go was actually an order given by an alchemist, so if he was captured, he would probably be taken back to that room by the monster again.

As for what would happen if he took it back, Chris didn't want to speculate. It wouldn't be a good thing anyway. After all, before escaping from there, she seriously injured one of the alchemists with the protective knife she carried.

After suddenly thinking of the word alchemist, Kristi's mind suddenly trembled and she quickly climbed up because she suddenly remembered that this place was actually very close to the Alchemist Academy. Is there anyone from the academy today?

Si didn't dare to guess, but there must be someone from the Alchemist Association, which is just across the wall from the academy, and not surprisingly, his aunt, Mrs. Brunx Vermeulen, the association's great alchemist, would definitely be there.

side.

And just when Chris was trying hard to climb the greasy and loose wooden ladder, suddenly there was a heavy hammering sound from the iron door below, and the monster was already chasing her.

On the street, Abigail was walking slowly and yawning tiredly. She had just come out of Kohler's private house not long ago. After finishing her work, she, Kohler and several maids took care of Anna, who was still in the infant stage of consciousness, all night long.

As a result, she suffered from severe sleep deprivation and some dizziness. After all, although Anna has the body of a teenager, her consciousness is still that of a newborn baby. It would be a fool’s errand to expect a baby to do things that are consistent with the logic of the body’s age, and the baby itself

He is somewhat sensitive to any fluctuations in the outside world, whether it is sudden noises, mosquitoes or smells in the room, or even irregular excretion, etc. These things can make everyone confused.

The maid sent by Earl Nassus is essentially a personal guard, and she is not a professional maid who specializes in taking care of babies. However, she is still a person with strong learning ability, and she has become somewhat familiar after a night of tossing.

Abigail had time to go back to the college to rest for a while, and was going to go to Kohler's place to help again in the evening.

After spitting out some of the secrets in her heart, Abigail felt surprisingly relaxed at the moment. After all, that matter had been settling in her heart for a long time, and it almost made Abigail become a little bit crazy. Secret content

Naturally, it was something related to Anna, because Abigail made a mistake at the time, a mistake that seemed inconsequential at the time but later led to bitter consequences.

In the evening when Anna was killed, Abigail saw Anna being dragged away by an unknown person when she passed by the area. At that time, Abigail naturally recognized Anna, a maid who was a slave, and knew that she was there.

What was the situation of Earl Nassus' family, but these were meaningless to Abigail at the time. Although Abigail and Kohler had a relationship like childhood sweethearts, this did not mean that she would be distracted to pay attention to a person.

Abigail was an inconspicuous maid, and she was young and immature. She didn't know what position this little maid held in Earl Nassas's family, especially in Kohler's heart.

It wasn't until the news of the murder of the maid came the next day, and Kohler's overreaction that only she understood the consequences of her omission. Since then, Kohler has become alienated from everyone, even...

The relationship with Abigail also became very stiff and cold. In order to find some suitable reasons to contact Khloe, Abigail had no choice but to transform into a very powerful "devil", relying on professional

After fighting with the playboys, he reluctantly came in and out of Kohler's presence frequently, but since then, the relationship between the two has already deteriorated.

Abigail herself felt guilty about Anna, and this guilt became more obvious after seeing the resurrected Anna this time. However, Abigail was also very sad because she sincerely felt sorry for Kohler.

The confession and apology did not receive a response from the other party. At first, Abigail was very dissatisfied, but then she gradually understood the reason.

After all, the Kohler I met yesterday was so strange. Whether it was his speech, behavior, or cunning and quick mind, his every move was so different from the hopeless playboy in the past. But Kohler himself was not.

He was perfunctory with Abigail, and after she confessed, Khloe naturally mentioned why he was like this. After hearing his explanation, Abigail was so angry that she almost threw the cup in her hand and hit him.

Thinking of this, Abigail suddenly smiled. She was mocking herself, laughing at her simple-minded actions in the past. Maybe in the eyes of the masked Kohler, she was as funny as a clown.

However, Kohler is also very honest with himself and tells himself not to leak the matter out, because Kohler still needs this dude status to cover himself up. It seems that he is still obsessed with something, but it seems that Kohler does not want to reveal this secret at the moment.

Generally speaking, this is not bad. At least this time, Khloe has not lost all the memories of the past like Anna. The friendship between the two is just starting from scratch, and everything still has a chance to return to the harmony of the past.

Just as Abigail was walking towards the college with gentle steps, she suddenly heard some weird thumping sounds nearby. It was exactly noon at this time, and there were no pedestrians on this path except herself.

In the buildings on both sides, there were people sticking their heads out of the windows to investigate the situation. Suddenly, someone screamed from a window somewhere. Abigail looked in the direction and found that the old woman at that window seemed to have seen something terrible.

They were pointing at the intersection near their home and shouting something.

Abigail rushed over, and she was shocked to find a person at the sewer entrance over there, struggling desperately on the bricks near the sewer entrance, and something seemed to be entangled in her waist that had not yet emerged from the sewer.

It's holding the opponent, and it's still squirming and contracting like a snake.

Without saying a word, Abigail pulled out the knife on her body and rushed over, but the closer she got, the more frightened she felt, because as the distance got closer, she was the only one who saw a strange monster rising up in the sewer.

He moved, and the thing wrapped around the man turned out to be a disgusting tentacle on the monster. The monster was stuck in the narrow sewer exit, but it was not difficult to find that the unknown monster was still struggling and moving.

He climbed up and tried to use his sharp claws to grab the girl entangled in the tentacles.

"Help me..." The girl who was entangled by the monster shouted for help, but the other person's breath was very weak, as if she was choked by the monster's tentacles.

The other party's voice sounded familiar, but Abigail didn't have time to think about it. Instead, she directly swung the knife and cut off the tentacles on the girl's body. With the stinking mucus constantly pouring out from the incisions of the tentacles, Abigail

With a sudden force, he pulled out the girl whose legs were almost grabbed by sharp claws, and then dragged the somewhat exhausted girl away from the sewer exit and continued to cut off the remaining tentacles on her body that were still squirming and contracting.

"Are you okay...Chris?!" Abigail was surprised to find that this dirty girl turned out to be her good friend Chris Michael, but at this time she had no time to ask what happened to Chris.

What was going on, because as the howling from the sewer got closer and closer, Abigail directly picked up Chris and planned to flee the scene.

At this time, Abigail was also a little confused, because she didn't know which direction to flee in a hurry. And when Abigail stood at the intersection and hesitated briefly, Ke finally regained her breath.

Liz grabbed Abigail's arm and slowly said: "Go to the academy!"

Abigail understood Chris' intention instantly, and then she spread her legs and ran towards the college with Chris who seemed to have fainted. But before the two of them ran far away, the card

The monster in the sewer also roughly squeezed the floor tiles near the sewer to some deformation, and then suddenly emerged from the ground covered in injuries.

When the monster suddenly rushed out of the sewer, the people who had just gathered on the street screamed and ran away. Of course, there were also people who were closer to the monster who were attacked by the monster, but the monster seemed determined to capture Chris, so it did not

It continues to harm insignificant people, but fortunately not too many people suffer as a result.

But there was some pressure on Abigail, because it was already very difficult for her to carry Chris while running, so she couldn't get rid of the monster chasing behind her. But at this moment, it seemed that

It was because the previous shouting and commotion attracted a group of patrolling city guards. The other party was stunned for a moment after discovering Abigail being chased by a monster. Then the patrol captain who looked somewhat familiar immediately ordered his men to set up a patrol.

Halberd came to meet Abigail who was running over.

When she got closer, Abigail realized that the other person was a member of the Zeb family. Although she was not familiar with him, she could barely remember that this person was a member of a certain branch of the Zeb family. He was just transferred from somewhere else not long ago. In his impression, it seemed that

It's Shay Zerb.

Although the other party looked very young, he was quite capable. While the other city guards were trembling in the face of the monster attack, this Shay directly and decisively brought a pot of freshly boiled hot water from the door of a nearby residence.

Water, after Abigail ran over, she immediately poured the boiling hot water on the oncoming monster.

The monster was indeed stopped by the pot of scalding hot water, but Shay was also knocked away by the powerful impact before the monster stopped. However, it was just this pause, and he had not been knocked away just now.

After getting up, Shay quickly ordered the city guards to attack the monster's feet with their long halberds. He himself immediately climbed up from the ground and rushed towards the monster with a long knife and struck the monster's head directly.

Shay's attacks were as elegant as flowing clouds and flowing water. It didn't feel like he was born as a third-level city guard. Moreover, his movements were also very fast. After the blow, he immediately escaped from the monster's scratch and rolled at the same time.

It rolled under the monster's crotch and slashed one of the monster's knees with the long knife. Although this blow was not a fatal injury, it also caused the monster to be severely injured and unbalanced, causing it to kneel on the ground.

Facing the obstruction of Shay and others, Abigail immediately picked up Chris and ran towards the college. Before leaving, she shouted loudly to the city guards not to fight to the death, but to delay the time.

Just run away quickly.

Abigail didn't care whether the city guards heard it or not, she couldn't waste any more time anyway. Although the gate of the Alchemist Academy was at the end of the road, she couldn't be said to be completely rescued when she got there, because she felt

Normal alchemists may not be able to subdue this kind of monster, let alone the students in the academy. In short, the only ones who can deal with this monster are the full-time alchemists from the association, and they still have combat and ability.

There are only a few people with magical abilities, or people with the level of the three great alchemists including his mother Brunx.

All Abigail can do is to run to the college and use the large college facilities or open space to buy time for rescue. Fortunately, it is the famous Alchemist College there. Although ordinary students may not have any fighting ability,

Everyone has pretty good alchemical abilities, and there are even some inconspicuous alchemical mechanisms in the academy as ordinary defense forces.

At the same time, Erica was accompanying Diana and Aurora to play in a facility in the college. Although they were nominally borrowing Aurora's identity to visit the college, in fact, their purpose of coming today was

It's to find the student named Bowers.

Erica took a fancy to the other person's painting ability. The last time she said she wanted him to paint a painting, she wasn't just talking about it, but she really planned to ask him to paint a portrait of herself and Diana. Although she had a camera and a video camera here,

But that kind of thing still lacks some charm compared with the oil paintings with a strong sense of the times. In any case, this painting can be regarded as a souvenir of this trip. For this reason, Erica did not hesitate to pay the poor student Bowles two

The price of a gold solis as a reward.

Powers was very resistant at first, not because the money Erica gave him was too little, but because his painting skills were not that good in the city, so he was worried that the works he painted for the distinguished guests would not meet their needs.

That's all. But Erica repeatedly insisted on letting him draw, because she discovered through the car that Powers copied last time that this guy's sketching skills were quite good, unlike those whose compositions she had seen elsewhere were very subtle.

Like the aristocratic portraits, it seems that the painting skills of the academy have some subtle origins.

The portrait painting has been busy all morning. Although it was close to the lunch time, Erica and the three of them still sat on a decorated stage to be models for Powers. Although Erica initially planned to let him

He drew himself and Diana, but who knew that Aurora also came over, so he was embarrassed to exclude her. As for Ruby Erica who didn't come, she didn't care much, because this little guy should be familiar with such things.

She is not very interested, and she is currently accompanying Selenir and the little mermaid Marlene.

"Ms. Erica, what do you think of this?" Powers, who finally finished drawing the composition, nervously turned the drawing board to show everyone.

"It's not bad, it does have some flavor." Although Erica didn't know much about painting, she was very satisfied with the other party's work. Then she patted Powers on the shoulder and said, "Then let's take a break first and wait until after lunch.

How about coloring it again?”

Powers nodded in agreement, and just when everyone was stretching their muscles and preparing to go out, Helena Torres of the School of Alchemy, who had been sitting by the window sill reading, suddenly muttered to the window.
