Water Mage in the Flame Realm-Chapter 354 - 342: Encounter

"...Alright, I promise you," Andrew nodded.

Unconsciously, he had moved from behind Pasha to her side and behind.

You could see the perfect profile of Pasha’s face.

"Thank you, thank you so much," Pasha sighed in relief and glanced at Andrew, only to feel a sudden shock.

Because she noticed that Andrew’s face at this moment was quite peculiar, with a hint of... excitement?

Andrew indeed got excited!

More precisely, it was a shiver of nervousness and excitement intertwined: "If I’m not mistaken, the situation on this outer battlefield is indeed more like a game of hide-and-seek rather than a battle. Simply put, the water mages’ side has already fallen into a great disadvantage, and they have even lost the qualification for frontal combat."

It stands to reason that with such overwhelming disadvantage on their side and overwhelming advantage on the enemy’s side, we shouldn’t be seeing our own people, but rather many enemies, right?

Like teams of Flame Warriors and Earth Fire Mages sweeping across islands.

The problem is that such scenes haven’t been seen either!

"One possibility is that the Magic Guild’s troops stationed on this outer battlefield are not particularly numerous, lacking personnel."

Andrew thought to himself, "Another possibility is that the enemy has certain powerful individuals who can cover a huge area single-handedly! If this latter possibility is true..." Andrew’s eyes narrowed slightly at this thought.

This feeling, how to put it...

It felt like he and Pasha, instead of finding an island to hide, were being guided by some sort of directional device on Pasha’s body, heading towards the headquarters, as if they were walking naked in the territory of a deep-sea monster!

With a swish, a shadow flew past them in the night at extreme speed.

Pasha was startled, her step paused involuntarily, and after a moment, she patted her chest and said, "It’s nothing, nothing, just... it should be a flying fish. Sorry, I... I was too nervous."

"No worries." Andrew was not frightened by that flying fish at all.

On the contrary, Andrew’s tone, manner, expression, gaze, mindset, and entire person at this moment, was in an exceedingly calm state, and it was precisely this calmness that allowed him to launch the strongest counterattack at any time!

Though since a while ago, his Water Spirit Sensing had not detected anything, like a still, ancient well. But this absolute calmness was somewhat unusual.

Within the range of Water Spirit Sensing, Andrew still didn’t detect any enemies or allies.

Yet, Andrew had a strong feeling: he and Pasha were already being watched by someone!

And the more this was the case, the more patient Andrew became.

Stay calm, wait for the opponent to make the first move.

"Um... there’s actually one more thing I would like to ask for your help with," Pasha keenly sensed some subtle changes in Andrew’s state, couldn’t help but look at him a few more times, and said in a low voice.

"Hmm, go ahead," Andrew paused and said, "You want me to help you find your sister?"

As both belonged to the Water Element, Andrew was a more powerful Water Magic Lord than traditional water mages.

Pasha was indeed very sensitive, but Andrew was actually even more perceptive!

"You... you guessed it?" Pasha was surprised and then lowered her head, "I just thought about it, I haven’t actually seen my sister die... so can I trouble you for a favor? At least confirm whether my sister is alive or dead. If she really has died, I’ll accept it. But if she’s still alive—"

"If she’s still alive, I won’t contact her, just like you said earlier, not to expose her while trying to help," Andrew said and then directly extended his hand towards Pasha. "Give me a drop of blood."

In water magic, there is a famous seeking and locking magic called: Bloodline Tracing.

Simply put, it allows you to lock onto someone who shares a blood relationship through a drop of blood.

Andrew originally was not qualified to cast this magic because it was a Tier Seven water magic, and Andrew’s true tier was Tier Five.

Fortunately, after resonating with the outer battlefield, his own power tier was temporarily elevated to around Tier Seven.

Andrew quickly found the Bloodline Tracing magic within the "Water God Mark."

It was something that could be unlocked and used.

"Really? That’s great!" Pasha was so excited that her face turned red; her own ability was insufficient to perform Bloodline Tracing, especially since her main focus was on "speed," and her accomplishments in water magic other than speed were quite average.

Originally, she asked Andrew for help with a trial mindset.

Unexpectedly, Andrew agreed so straightforwardly and directly asked her for blood.

"Here," Pasha raised her hand and forced a drop of blood from her fingertip towards Andrew.

Andrew didn’t reach out to catch it, but instead pointed at the blood in the air.

The Bloodline Tracing was activated, and the blood instantly seemed to come alive.

It was as if an invisible finger was dipping into the blood, sketching a three-dimensional figure out of thin air.

It was a woman whose facial features resembled Pasha’s but had a very different temperament.

"Sister!" Pasha was incredibly excited.

However, at this moment, Andrew’s expression suddenly changed. He waved his hand to stop the casting.

Pasha’s heart tightened: "What’s wrong?"

Then she saw Andrew raise his hand and pointed: "Is that...your sister?"

"Huh?" Pasha looked in the direction Andrew pointed, seeing a figure staggering towards them across the dark sea.

Although the nights on this outer battlefield were dark, without the moon, only faint starlight to see people, water mages who had fled here and lived for so many years had long developed a set of magic to see in the night’s gloom here.

Pasha could see clearly: that woman... was precisely the sister she had just asked Andrew to help find!

"Sister? Sister!!"

Pasha abruptly changed direction and rushed towards the woman.

However, after just two steps, she was pulled back by a force.

Pasha looked back in surprise, seeing that it was Andrew who had pulled her back.

"Wanda Wise... Sir?" Pasha looked at Andrew in confusion, "You... let go of me!"

Andrew remained unmoved, tightly holding onto the emotionally overwhelmed Pasha, his gaze fixed on Pasha’s sister over the distant sea, rather than on Pasha.

As he helped Pasha find her sister, her sister suddenly appeared within his Water Spirit Sensing range.

Does such a coincidence really exist in this world?

By this time, Pasha’s sister was already a little closer, looking very flustered.

But there were clearly no pursuers behind her, no sign of anyone from the Magic Guild.

She stumbled, looking anxious, with a hoarse voice shouting: "Run... hurry and run...! Get away from that person, quickly! He’s a traitor!"

This sentence was obviously directed at Pasha.

And when she said "he’s a traitor," her gaze was directed at... Andrew beside Pasha.
