Fantasy Simulator Chapter 171 Half Elf

After entering the Hunter's House and becoming Charlie' student, Chen Heng had gained a lot of knowledge about Sorcerers.
The magic skills commonly used by Sorcerers were not secrets to him at all. Even though he had not grasped the frameworks of the magic skills, he knew the principles of various magic skills.
That golden arrow was undoubtedly a magic skill, but it was not one that Chen Heng knew of.
In other words, this was a magic skill that was not recorded in the Hunter's House's records.
"Is it someone from another academy? Or…"
At that moment, Chen Heng had many thoughts.
Because different academies focused on different research, the knowledge they passed on would often be different.
As such, academies would often have their own unique magic skills.
Apart from this, some Sorcerers also had their own magic skills.
Next to him, Ordo walked to the front.
His body was filled with the aura of powerful magic power.
The magic power surged and condensed on the surface of his body and formed a new magic skill.
Minor Protection.
This magic skill's effects were similar to Minor Barrier, but because it was fundamentally different, it could be stacked with Minor Barrier.
Ordo had evidently realized that Minor Barrier alone could not stop that powerful golden arrow, so he had added an extra layer of defence.
The others also began to move.
"This is bad!" Michael's voice sounded out.
He was looking into the distance, and his expression was quite grim.
In the distance, there were violent magic power reactions.
In the next moment, another golden arrow appeared and quickly shot over.
Boom!
The space in the surroundings were affected, creating layer upon layer of ripples.
Sensing this, Chen Heng inwardly frowned and stretched out his hand as he put it on the sword by his side.
Even though he did not know what was going on, it seemed that things would not be going smoothly today.
As such, he gripped his sword and prepared to fight.
Over the past two years, even though he had not yet become a Third Rank Apprentice, he was at the peak of a Second Rank Apprentice and had grasped a few magic skills.
Apart from the fact that his magic power could not compare to that of Third Rank Apprentices, there was not much difference between him and a Third Rank Apprentice.
With his strength as a Knight, perhaps he would not be inferior to a Third Rank Apprentice.
Chen Heng stood there and silently observed the surroundings.
However, soon, something that made him feel somewhat surprised happened.
He found that even though the golden arrows continuously landed, those golden arrows seemed to avoid where he was and were focused on Ordo and Michael.
Apart from Ordo and Michael, everyone else was not harmed.
What was going on?
Chen Heng felt that something was off.
If the other side was just trying to kill them, why were they avoiding them?
What was the purpose of this?
A few possibilities appeared in Chen Heng's mind, and he considered each of them.
Moreover, the reason for the other side attacking was also quite strange.
From how things seemed, there did not seem to be anything in Chen Heng's party that could attract anyone to attack them.
Over the past two years, Chen Heng had stayed in the Hunter's House and rarely went out, nor did he make any enemies.
There was no reason for anyone to try to kill him out of enmity.
So was this another academy trying to kill the Hunter's House's genius?
This was somewhat possible.
However, if that was the case, why were the enemies not targeting him?
If it was purely out of pity, this would be a bit too unprofessional.
There were no such merciful people among Sorcerers.
Thoughts continuously flashed through Chen Heng's mind as the battle continued.
Golden arrows continued to fly out from the distance, slamming towards Ordo and Michael.
In front of these golden arrows, Ordo and Michael continuously retreated, barely hanging on.
What was strange was that the attacker seemed to be pinpointing them, as if they wanted to take them down first.
It was not just Chen Heng; the others noticed this too.
"Damnit!" Michael waved his hand and blocked a golden arrow.
Magic power clashed against magic power, releasing brilliant light in the air.
Ripples spread through the surroundings.
Because of the great power from the ripples, he was forced backwards, and his face was ashen.
By now, he could tell that the situation was quite bad.
Even now, they still had no idea who the other side was and were forced to continuously passively defend.
If this went on, they would be drained to death.
After all, defensive magic skills consumed more magic power than normal magic skills.
If they continued to defend like this, they would use up the magic power in their bodies.
Once they used up their magic power, things would become troublesome.
Because of their magic power, Sorcerer Apprentices' bodies would go through changes, making them different from ordinary people.
Even if a Third Rank Apprentice did not use magic skills, just their bodies alone would be as strong as Knights; in fact, some were stronger.
However, for Sorcerers, the best things to use were still magic skills.
Once their magic power was used up, they could only rely on their bodies' power and most likely would not be able to stop the other side.
Thinking to there, Michael's face became ashen as he madly tried to think of a countermeasure.
However, before he could think of anything, some loud sounds rang out in the distance.
Hearing that sound, Michael looked into the distance.
In that direction, there were people darting out from the thickets.
Those figures were incredibly agile and did not look like ordinary people.
Arrows shot out of the forest, looking incredibly dense.
"This is…"
By the side, Ordo had a bad feeling.
These arrows were all ordinary arrows, but there were simply too many of them.
Normally, this would be fine, but in this kind of situation, it made things incredibly difficult for them.
Fortunately, at this moment, ripples spread out in the surroundings.
At the critical moment, Chen Heng waved his hand and the insignia he was holding gave off light.
The light of magic power was released as a warm current flowed from Chen Heng's body into the insignia, activating the magic skill engraved on it.
Minor Barrier.
It was the same skill that Ordo had used, but there were some changes in the details. However, the effects were roughly the same.
A formless barrier instantly appeared, blocking those arrows.
"Thank goodness!" Ordo and Michael let out sighs of relief.
In the end, the worst case scenario had not happened.
As Sorcerers of the Hunter's House, they clearly knew Chen Heng's status and value in the academy.
It was not an exaggeration to say that if Chen Heng was injured, let alone killed, they would face the full fury of Charlie, a true Sorcerer.
When that time came, their outcome would be quite unpredictable.
Fortunately, Chen Heng was still safe, allowing them to let out sighs of relief.
However, they had celebrated too early.
Boom!
In the distance, a figure shot out from the forest, traveling incredibly quickly.
Including Ordo and Michael, everyone only saw a blur.
A light sound rang out as Michael and Ordo were knocked out of the way; if they had not already set up magic skills, they would have been injured.
As Michael and Ordo watched on, that figure arrived before Chen Heng.
"He's coming at me?"
Looking at that figure, Chen Heng thought to himself.
He could barely see that person's actions and could roughly see his trajectory.
As such, at the moment, he could see that person rushing at him and had a hand raised.
However, that was all. The other person was simply too fast, and even if Chen Heng could see what was going on, his body could not react.
By the time the other person reached him, he could only raise his sword.
However, before he could do anything, his vision blurred and he lost all strength in his body.
Magic power ripples covered the surroundings, spreading out from his body.
In the blink of an eye, he had lost all strength, as if he was incredibly fatigued.
In that instant, the other person had used a magic skill to drain him of his strength so that he could not resist.
Bang!!
The figure quickly left.
Soon, everything settled, but Chen Heng was gone.
"Damnit!" Ordo and Michael's faces were ashen as they stood where Chen Heng had been, not knowing what to say.
"A true Sorcerer!"
"It was definitely a true Sorcerer!"
Thinking of that scene, they both agreed on the same thing.
For that person to be able to easily suppress two Third Rank Apprentices and then directly capture Chen Heng, that person was definitely a true Sorcerer.
A Third Rank Apprentice definitely could not do such a thing.
"Just who was that? What was their goal?" they thought to themselves.
Following this, they looked at each other with bitter smiles on their faces.
.......
"There's nothing we can do; let's go back and report," Ordo said as he looked at Michael, "I hope the academy can find that person."
Now that things had come to this, they could not hide things.
They could only go back and face the fury of the academy and Charlie.
Apart from this, they had no other choice.
...
Within a sparse forest, a figure quickly darted about, looking incredibly fast.
After moving for a long time, the figure came to a lake and stopped.
Under the faint sunlight, the figure's appearance was revealed.
It was a beautiful young woman who had a tall and slim figure. She wore simple green robes, which revealed the curves of her body.
She looked about 17 or 18 years old.
However, this young girl had gray-silver hair and her ears were pointed.
In her arms was a young man.
"Alright, you can stop now," a voice sounded out in the young woman's mind, "You can put him down."
A voice sounded out in her mind, sounding quite gentle, making one think of the silver moon.
Hearing this voice, the young woman's expression was calm as she silently put the young man down on the ground.
After experiencing the battle from before, the young man's condition was not great, and he was still unconscious.
Looking at this young man, the young man softly asked, "Teacher, can this person really help us open those doors?"
"I don't know," the voice in her mind once again sounded out, "Opening the mausoleum requires very high proficiency in magic tools and rune research.
"After exploring in this region for so long, only a few people have a chance of doing it.
"Of those people, the most suitable ones are all true Sorcerers; they would not just cooperate with us, so we could only find this child.
"Ed Doyle is the most outstanding genius in the Hunter's House and is hailed as a future master of magic tool creation.
"It is said that even his teacher marvels at his talent; perhaps he will be able to help us."
Honestly speaking, the situation was quite frustrating.
Their goal from the start was not Chen Heng but Chen Heng's teacher, Charlie, as well as some other people.
It was just that those people were all true Sorcerers and very powerful.
Even though their power was not weak, defeating a true Sorcerer and having them listen to them was a bit too difficult.
As such, they could only set their sights on Chen Heng, hoping to use him to achieve their goal.
In order to do this, they had masqueraded as rogue Sorcerers and sold the location of the historical remnant to the Hunter's House, as well as rumors that there might be magic tools in the historical remnant.
Through this, they had hoped to attract Chen Heng over and capture him.
So far, everything had gone quite smoothly.
Just like they had expected, Chen Heng had come here, and he only had two Third Rank Apprentices guarding him.
As such, they had been able to successfully capture him and bring him here.
"I hope everything goes smoothly."
The young woman sat by the side and looked at Chen Heng lying on the ground.
Time gradually passed.
Only after a long while did the magic skill lose effect, and Chen Heng woke up.
As the young woman watched on, Chen Heng slowly opened his eyes.
Their gazes met and interlocked.
"Who… are you?"
Lying on the ground, Chen Heng looked at the young woman and asked softly, "Why did you capture me?"
By now, he had understood the situation.
This young woman was the person who had captured him and put him in this situation.
He had just never thought it would be a young woman.
And one who looked like this…
Lying there, he quickly noticed the color of the young woman's hair, as well as some other details, that made him feel surprised.
"An elf?"
He thought to himself, "No, her blood doesn't seem to be pure."
Even though the young woman had many characteristics of Elves, they were not as obvious as normal Elves.
She was most likely the child of an Elf and a Human.
Half-Elves were incredibly rare.
Despite having come to this world for a while and read all kinds of records, this was the first time he had seen one.
"You're awake?"
Looking at Chen Heng, the Half-Elf young woman looked a bit surprised, not expecting him to wake up so quickly.
"Your body is much stronger than I expected," she said.
Chen Heng raised his head and tried to move his body.
However, it seemed that the magic skill was still affecting his body, making it so that he could not control his body.
A heavy feeling of fatigue was within his body, causing him to frown.
