"Dawn" goes out.
The goddess' shadow disappeared in mid-air.
Lin Ze exerted enough strength, dragon scales covered his legs, crushed the crisscrossing branches under his feet, and jumped out.
The roots behind him surrounded me again.
"I don't want to accompany you anymore. Goodbye."
Lin Ze The wand was lightly swiped in front of him, and a blue-white arc flashed and a crack was opened out of thin air.
"Boundary Break"
The crack had just opened halfway and Lin Ze stepped directly into it.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the front foot entered, a strong force came from the ankle of the back foot. Several wrist-thick roots tightly entangled his foot, and the barbs dug into the flesh, sucking the magic power of Lin Ze crazily.
"It's not over!"
He turned back and threw a Severing Charm. Perhaps the woods knew that he was going to escape. The broken roots were repaired almost instantly, and the broken fibers were quickly reconnected with new fibers.
The rift is narrowing, and his control over "Boundary Break" is declining.
After all, this thing is not Apparition, and maintaining it requires continuous injection of magic power.
Lin Ze gritted his teeth and pulled his leg back to him. With a flick of the wand, the crack closed instantly. The few roots that were still hooked on the leg were cut off by the crack, and he followed Lin Ze to the other side.
When Lin Ze rolled out of the crack, his whole body was like a fish that had been fished ashore, with its belly turned over and twitching on the grass.
There were still a few severed roots hanging on the ankles, and the barbs were deeply embedded in the flesh, causing excruciating pain when touched.
He gritted his teeth and pulled out the roots one by one. The blood gushing out from the wound was dark purple with an earthy smell.
Essence of Dittany fell down, and a burst of white smoke appeared around the wound. The dark purple faded a little, but not completely. The blue-black background still remained under the skin.
He took out the antidote Potions, pulled out the stopper, and poured the whole bottle into his mouth.
The liquid was bitter and astringent, and his stomach twitched twice. He almost vomited it out, but he had to hold it back.
The vision begins to blur.
The outline of the forest in the distance was shaking, like a layer of water ruffled by the wind.
He held up his arms and tried to get up, but was unable to do so and fell back onto the meadow.
The last scene I saw was Eve running towards him.
Her mouth was moving, as if she was shouting something, but Lin Ze couldn't hear a word clearly.
His vision went dark and he lost consciousness.
When I regained consciousness, I felt a dull pain in the back of my head.
He subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to touch it, but his hand was fixed.
After his vision gradually became clearer, Lin Ze found that his wrist was being strangled by a thick hemp rope.
He struggled twice and found that he could not move. When he lowered his head, he found that he was tied to a wooden frame, his feet were half a foot off the ground, and his whole body was hanging there.
He looked around.
I found that I seemed to be in a barn.
The walls are made of rammed earth, with hay stuffed in the gaps, and the floor is covered with scattered straw and sawdust.
There were several bags of grain piled diagonally across the wall, and a pitchfork with a broken handle was placed next to it.
The light fell from the hole in the open air above his head, and it happened to shine warmly on his shoulders.
As Lin Ze continued to look at the surrounding environment, its eyes quickly locked on a wooden table diagonally opposite.
On the table are his wand and the small wooden box, Undetectable Extension Box.
Lin Ze stared at the wand on the table for a few seconds. Since being injected with the medicine, his five senses have become much more sensitive than ordinary people.
At this time, there was a sound outside the barn, which was the sound of footsteps, and there were quite a few people.
There were also people talking in a low voice, speaking very fast, and it was difficult to hear what they were saying, but there was an uncontrollable excitement in their tone.
He twisted his wrist, the hemp rope tightened, and his fingers were numb.
Fortunately, my magic power has recovered a lot, and I took care of the injuries on my body well before, and now I can't feel anything strange anymore.
"Wand Accio"
Lin Ze chanted softly, spreading the five fingers of his right hand towards the magic wand on the table.
The wand bounced off the table with a "pop", turned two somersaults in the air, and flew towards the palm of his hand.
He grasped it with five fingers and held the staff in his hand.
This solid touch made Lin Ze breathe a long sigh of relief.
The next moment, Lin Ze's wand shook slightly.
The rope broke at the sound, and he fell half a foot. His feet stepped on the scattered straw, and his knees went weak and he almost fell to his knees.
Then he took three steps and two steps at a time, walked to the table, and stuffed his wooden box into his arms.
The ears captured the conversation outside the barn at the same time.
"Is the wizard awake?"
"There's no movement. I guess he's still fainted."
"Go in and take a look. Don't let him die. The lord said he must be alive."
"Understood."
Footsteps gathered toward the barn door.
Lin Ze inserted the wand into his belt, leaned against the wall stack next to the wooden frame, and tried to steady his breathing.
The wooden door of the barn was opened from the outside, and sunlight poured in, spreading a rectangular strip of light on the ground.
Dust particles floated in the air, swirling irregularly in the light beam.
Four people came in.
Walking in front was a short and stocky man, wearing dark brown leather armor, a short sword hanging on his waist, and a copper badge on his chest.
Behind them were three men in coarse cloth, carrying hemp ropes and sticks in their hands, with smiles on their faces that only appear after catching prey.
But Lin Ze's gaze went beyond them and fell on the person at the door who had not yet fully walked in.
a woman.
She was wearing a black robe with a tight neckline and her hair neatly tucked behind her ears, revealing a long and thin face.
The eyes are thin and narrow, and the pupils cast an unnatural gray color in the light.
In his right hand, he holds a short metal stick half a foot long, with dense runes engraved on the stick.
Her fingers gently stroked the short stick, as if stroking a cat.
"Huh? You're awake?" She stood at the door without going in, her eyes swept from Lin Ze's face to the wand in his hand.
"It seems those people from Whitewater Valley didn't tie you up strong enough."
Lin Ze did not move. "Who are you?"
"Ainsley, the steward of the territory next door." She said.
The corner of Ainsley's mouth moved, and she saw her lifting the metal short stick, pointing the tip of the stick at Lin Ze's chest, and a circle of light red light patterns appeared on it.
"I know what you are thinking, Mr. Wizard, but I still advise you to give up resistance, because no wizard has ever been able to escape from my hands..."
Lin Ze stared at the short stick and felt a weak sense of oppression in the surrounding air, and his magic power suddenly became sluggish.
He quietly tried the silent "Levitation Charm", but found that he could not successfully cast the spell.
This thing seems to be the weapon used by people in this era to deal with wizards?
He moved his shoulders and took a step forward.
Ainsley tightened his fingers, and the red light on the short stick flourished.
The feeling of oppression suddenly worsened.
"I said! Don't resist needlessly!" Her voice became colder.
Lin Ze took another step forward with a smile on his face.
Ainsley was stunned for a moment.
Didn't this wizard realize that his magic power couldn't be used?
How dare he continue to get close to me?
Those wizards and bastards in the past were already kneeling in front of him, begging him to let them live...
Could this person... be a fool?
"That stick of yours might be useful against ordinary wizards."
Lin Ze walked up to her, with golden vertical pupils appearing in his eyes, staring playfully at the confused woman in front of him.
"Against me?"
"It's still a little less interesting..."
