Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

Chapter 419: Snake Catching Mouse

The green light almost enveloped the entire High Garden. Although it was already late at night, the royal city was not peaceful. The noise in the streets never stopped. More and more residents were woken up, lit candles, and secretly looked out of the window.

This was a shocking sight. Torches gathered into long dragons on the streets. Countless knights of light in gold and white armor were marching on the streets, making rumbling sounds from the collision of their armor. They would go through alleys and if someone accidentally made eye contact with a knight from the window, the door would be suddenly blasted open. The children at home were so scared that they screamed and threw themselves into their mother's arms.

"My lord! My lord! We are all devout believers of the God of Light, we are all children of the Father!" The man of the house immediately fell to the ground and kept kissing the knight's cold boots, which were covered with dirty ice and grass seeds.

The knight of noble birth was not moved at all. His sharp eyes scraped back and forth across the house like a steel knife, and then he walked out with a sullen face without saying a word.

He looked up at the sky, along with countless people in the city.

The snake is about to reach the tip of its tail, and the rat must be kept in the city!

At the edge of the city, someone was also running for his life while observing the sky curtain - faster, faster, he had to run out of the city before the tail-binding magic circle was formed! Otherwise, he really couldn't escape!

The figures in the dark alley rose and fell in the shadows cast by the eaves, and the breathing sounds were deliberately suppressed deep in the throat. If it weren't for the deerskin boots stepping into the stinking mud between the bricks and stones and splashing some water, this escape would have made almost no sound.

"Here, look this way!"

Countless torches lit up the streets as bright as day, and scattered bloodstains dripping on the ground were discovered!

The "rat" being chased turned around and cursed silently at the long dragon of torches that began to move in the distance. He climbed over another wall, and the broken pottery pieces embedded in the edge of the wall pierced his palms, but he felt no pain and only focused on moving towards his goal.

"Who's there?"

Just as he climbed over the wall, he heard a roar from the end of the street. It turned out that the guards on the city wall had heard the news and joined the city-wide search. He grabbed the torch and was about to illuminate the dark shadow that suddenly appeared in the street, but he heard a "whoosh" and a sharp arrow pierced through the darkness and shot straight into his throat!

The enormous force twisted the guard's neck instantly. He couldn't even make a sound as he was knocked backwards by the force of the arrow. As he fell, he saw the black shadow running straight towards him, but without even a glance, it passed him and continued forward.

"Huh-huh-huh-" The guard grabbed his neck and fell into the snow. He was waiting for death in a daze. In the few seconds before losing consciousness, the guard was thinking, that intruder who flashed by... didn't seem to be human?

Aryan put the bow and arrow back into place while running. He turned the corner along the slippery stone wall and finally arrived under the city wall. He began to quickly stroke the dry vines covered with ice and snow, causing the snow to fall down.

There was excruciating pain in his back and chest as runes left by some of his "fellow tribesmen" burned under his skin. Aryan couldn't help sneering as he worked, until he heard the sound of dragging chains coming from his hands, and then he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

As the flaming dragon and the rumbling footsteps approached, he had already slipped into the damp tunnel, struggled in the cold water for a long time, and finally fell into the moat.

The clear sound of shattering glass came from the sky.

The Ouroboros' fangs finally pierced its own tail scales, and the green totem instantly collapsed into an emerald vortex. All the figures illuminated by the light began to distort and stretch.

But the emerald vortex hovered in the night sky for only a short time before returning to nothingness.

"Wow--"

Aryan emerged from the icy river and shook his head like a wild beast. With a cold face, he took one last look at the green light disappearing in the city, then walked towards an abandoned flower bed on the outskirts of the city.

…………

"You actually let him get away!"

The deepest part of the huge palace was brightly lit at this moment. The servants stood at the door with their eyes lowered, listening quietly to the powerful scolding from inside.

"——How ridiculous! An assassin sneaking into the palace late at night! Is this Bishop's palace, or Tserwini's bedchamber where anyone can enter?!"

King George looked around in anger in his robe. He trusted these people so much! Is this how they repay him?!

No one in the palace dared to speak up for a while, as no one wanted to be the first to get into trouble. In the end, it was the kind and generous Bishop Quincy who came to the rescue. "Father God, maybe it doesn't matter whether the assassin is caught or not, Your Majesty."

King George turned his gaze upon him sullenly.

"That little mouse was able to sneak into such a heavily guarded place. I think he must be fully familiar with the terrain and have an insider. Perhaps, we should focus on finding out the person behind the scenes, right?" Bishop Quincy had a smile on his face.

King George's expression became even uglier. Faces flashed through his mind. Who could it be? She, they could all be possible!

…………

"Squeak-"

The dilapidated wooden door was pushed open, and at the same time, light immediately came on. Aryan raised his head and saw Giselle sitting up on the bed and looking at him, with packed luggage next to her.

"Where are you going?" Aryan closed the door and leaned against it, breathing softly.

"You came back late. I was thinking that if you didn't come back before dawn, I would leave immediately."

Giselle's tone was indifferent, as if she still regarded him as a burden, which made Aryan even more irritated. He looked down at himself. Although he had specially treated his wounds before coming back, he still looked embarrassed, which gave Giselle another opportunity to mock him.

"…Those magic arrays are still working."

When Giselle thought that this guy would not speak again, Aryan's voice rang out, and there was a hint of grievance in his tone, which made her look up in surprise.

"--the protective arrays set up by... by our priests, the arrays set up for that Zora, A-choo--!"

He wanted to call out the names of those priests and curse them all, but suddenly realized that he had actually forgotten their names and faces.

"Ah sneeze——!"

Aryan covered his mouth and nose and sneezed again. He thought he might really be sick this time.
