396 Greedy Mages (2/2)

Susie, alone, left the manor quietly in a black cloak.

The two spiders followed her.

Roland began to control the magic spiders.

During the past half-year, Roland had been trying to improve the magic spiders, so that they could be smaller, faster, and stealthier.

More importantly, Roland finally made it possible for the magic spiders to transmit sound.

Though the sound was distorted and occasionally intermittent, it was still huge progress.

The magic spiders were only the size of fingernails and almost fully transparent. They could barely be recognized.

Susie zigzagged in the human side of the city for half an hour before she finally reached a two-floor building.

Then, she climbed into the building from the window in the backyard.

The two magic spiders immediately followed. One of them stayed below the window, and the other crawled into the house through a gap.

Then, the image was delivered again.

In the dim room, a half-elf was sitting opposite Susie.

Roland also heard Susie's slightly distorted voice. ”A human Mage just came. He asked about Ans first and you later.”

The half-elf asked slowly, ”Who is this human Mage? Why does he know Lord Ans?”

”I'm not clear. I've never seen him before. He's a total stranger.” Susie sighed. ”I tried to seduce him for more intelligence, but he was not tempted.”

The half-elf was surprised. ”Is there any man who can resist your temptation?”

”That's nothing to be surprised at,” Susie said unconcernedly. ”I'll ask the patrol teams to check up on him tomorrow. You'd better leave the town for now. After all, you're really mediocre, and that Mage might be very tough.”

”Okay.” The half-elf stood up and said, ”I'm leaving now.”

”That's right. The sooner, the better.” Susie was satisfied with the half-elf's decision.

Seeing that, Roland immediately took action.

Based on the picture sent back by the magic spiders, Roland hid himself in the woods at the exit of the town in advance.

Susie walked the half-elf to the exit of the town and said, ”I'm going back. My identity can't be exposed yet.”

The half-elf nodded.

Then, the half-elf left Ill on his own.

Ill was only a trading post at the border. A strict curfew was implemented here. No residents were allowed to be on the street past midnight.

Besides, this place was far away from other cities, so there were few travelers outside of the town at night.

It was very quiet, and the moon was very bright, allowing the half-elf to see the road clearly without a torch.

But he suddenly came to a stop, because a human male had blocked his way.

The man was wearing a blue magic robe, which was rather grave and intimidating in the moonlight.

A Mage… The half-elf suddenly remembered what Susie said.

He turned around and tried to flee, but when he'd just started running, extreme coldness caught up to him from his back. He turned around, only to see a huge ring of ice expanding quickly on the ground and leaving frost everywhere.

The half-elf subconsciously jumped, but the moment he jumped, a gigantic blue hand appeared out of nowhere and smashed him to the frosted ground.

His handsome face hit the ground so painfully that he almost passed out.

The ground was cold, but the half-elf's heart was even colder.
