“You came here to stop me. Is it because you’ve thought of a better idea?” Alex asked.
“Indeed, I know of a secret passage to get out of Raze City. As new friends, I can lead you through that secret passage and get you out of there. Otherwise, you will just be setting yourselves up as easy targets.”
Seeing Hermione Yggdrasil’s look of disbelief, Samson Hendrik shook his head. He said, “I know you guys have great disguising skills and can take on any appearance, but you may not be aware that Donovan Orlando has borrowed the Heavenly Mirror from Silvermoon Sanctuary. With the Heavenly Mirror, and combined with the spell formation in Raze City, they can easily track your whereabouts. So, the only way that’s left is to leave Raze City.”
Leave Raze City?
Alex shook his head. What he wanted to do right now was hurry up and get to Starborn City, where Plenilune Sect was located.
Alex asked, “Can the teleportation array in Raze City be used yet?”
Samson shook his head. “Of course not. Zephyr East is one of Donovan’s men. He has already used the formation in Raze City to seal off all the routers.
“Do the people of the city not have a problem with that?” Neela asked.
“Even if they did, it’s pointless!” Samson said. “The core of the spell formation in Raze City is under Zephyr’s control, and Sun Shrine is backing him. Whoever dares to stick their head out will have to face a death blow from both forces. Who would dare to stand up and basically send themselves to death?”
Alex knocked his head and said, “The core of the formation, where is it?”
Samson froze. “Y-You… What the heck are you going to do?”
“I’m going to utterly and completely break this formation,” Alex said.
***
Raze City, the governor’s residence.
Zephyr was not in the residence. He had Donovan and a few others with him, and they were getting some air outside.
At this moment, Alex and Samson appeared at the entrance of the governor’s residence.
“The entrance is the first barrier.”
The fake Colette nodded. “Your governor has asked me to get something. Oh, come with me for a moment.”
The paper doll Colette retreated backward.
One of the guards followed it, but the other was cautious and did not move from his spot.
Snap!
Alex lashed out, and the guard disappeared around the corner for a moment. But he soon appeared once more.
However, at this time, he had already switched places with Alex, who had disguised himself.
“Hey, buddy, where’s Lady Brunel? Why isn’t she coming over?”
“Oh, she said she needed to use the washroom… I’ll go inside and help the governor get something. You keep watch here.”
