Rhodes was eating in the cafeteria, and sitting opposite him were Thorin and Hill. The three of them ate salt-baked potatoes and smoked meat in a dull manner, all of them looking worried.
Thorin looked around carefully and said to Rod, "Rod, do you think Lorenzo's wish can really come true?"
Rhodes sneered, "Why, are you scared?"
"I complained to the people in the dormitory yesterday, but few people agreed with me. Many people even laughed at me for not being satisfied. I was afraid that if we started to make trouble, no one would follow us..."
"I don't care. It's no use making trouble wherever it happens. I just want my woman back." Rhodes put the last potato into his mouth.
Thorin and Hill looked at each other and sighed.
Rhodes put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth and prepared to leave. Hill said self-deprecatingly: "This guy at least knows what he wants, but what about us? Are we protesting against the cafeteria forcing us to use chopsticks to pick up potatoes?"
As soon as Rod stood up, he suddenly felt a pain on the back of his hand. The triangular mark left by Lorenzo was glowing slightly. Suddenly, a voice sounded in Rod's ears: "The time has come... Now, let go of your body and mind, listen to me, listen to me. I will tell you what to do..."
It was hard to tell whether the voice was male or female, but it had a strange charm. In that instant, Rhode almost let go of his mind and lost his mind. He did not dare to be careless and quickly used his fighting spirit to wash his whole body. The voice became softer and softer, and finally disappeared silently. Rhode looked at the back of his hand again, and the triangular secret mark on it shattered into small dots, and finally melted away.
"What kind of power is this?" Rhodes wondered. He looked at Thorin and Hill again. Their expressions were completely different. No more hesitation or anxiety could be seen on their faces. The two smiled at each other and ran out separately. As they ran, they shouted loudly: "Bandits, bandits are attacking again. They broke through the wall and set fire to the camp."
As if to support their words, explosions occurred simultaneously in several places in the camp, and flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the windows red.
"Everyone, run, go to the warehouse and grab some food and leave. Are you going to wait here to be killed? Run, run, escape to the south!" Thorin and Hill shouted and rushed out of the cafeteria.
People tend to follow the crowd. A few people were shouting in the cafeteria, and with the fire outside, most of the hundred people who were eating became panicked. Some asked loudly what was going on, some simply hid under the table, but more people chose to run out to see what was going on.
Damn it! Only then did Rhode realize that there was no protest at all, and tomorrow's so-called action was a complete cover. Today's riot was what Lorenzo really planned. How many people were in the camp at the same time? What was Lorenzo, the bastard, doing now
Lorenzo was holding a magic wand and walking in the camp leisurely. Several members of the intelligence team and the guard team were lying on the ground behind him, and their lives or deaths were unknown.
Residents were running around all around. He watched the sudden chaos with a smile on his face, and occasionally he would flick his wand, and a fireball the size of a head would burst out, hitting the wooden building and causing an explosion. Then the scattered flames would ignite several buildings.
When he used a fireball to knock down a sentry tower, a flash of cold light suddenly flashed across his neck. With a ding, a transparent shield appeared behind him. The attacker moved quickly and stabbed him seven or eight times in succession. After a series of dings, the shield exploded and turned into a gust of wind, blowing the attacker four or five meters away.
Lorenzo turned around and saw a thin figure holding a dagger and staring at him. It was Caterina who was disguised as a little boy watching him.
"What a fierce fighting technique, little mercenary. But don't you know? A warrior without fighting spirit has no chance of winning against a magician." As Lorenzo spoke, he pointed his magic wand at Catalina, and a dozen rays of light flew out from one end of the magic wand.
Catalina rolled sideways and rushed to the house on the right. The first few hits hit the ground, and the rest were mostly blocked by the wall, but three rays of light still hit her. In a hurry, Catalina twisted her body to avoid the vital parts of her body, and used her left hand to block her chest, but the light still pierced her shoulder, left arm and outer thigh, leaving three thumb-thick wounds. She fell to the ground and bled profusely.
Lorenzo did not continue to attack, but sighed: "I wanted to see how the Black Mountain magicians fight. I didn't expect them to be such cowards, leaving a little devil like you to die. Forget it, I have no interest in killing a weakling like you, so just lie there obediently."
After saying that, he was about to leave, but at this time a tall and strong man blocked his way.
"'Starry Sky Meditations', you are actually from the Temple of Wisdom." Rhodes slowly approached with a long sword in his hand, and the mist of fighting spirit began to emanate from his body. Lorenzo's true strength was actually much greater than he had guessed.
"'Breaking Army Style'. Ah, the bug hiding in my team is actually from the Temple of War. According to your strength, you are at least a thousand-man captain, right? However, I am very busy today and I don't have time to reminisce with you." The tip of Lorenzo's wand slowly gathered light. "I just used a few beams of starlight from the Starry Sky Meditations. Do you want to see moonlight or even shooting stars?"
"What on earth do you, the Temple of Wisdom, want to do?"
"From now on, it's all our performance. You just need to watch quietly." Lorenzo said calmly, "For the sake of the traditional friendship between the temples, let's stop here today."
"But what if I want to keep you here for a good talk?" Having said this, Rhodes suddenly rushed forward and slashed at Lorenzo with his sword.
The sword wrapped in the fighting spirit light was unable to strike Lorenzo, and a star-studded light curtain blocked him and Rhode. Galaxy - defensive magic from the Starry Sky Meditations. The defensive power was far greater than the wind shield shattered by Katarina.
However, this was within the two's expectations. Both Rhodes and Lorenzo continued to attack. For a moment, the cold starlight and the hot fighting spirit intertwined in this small space.
After another fight, the two men separated. Lorenzo said coldly, "No! You are not from the War God Temple. The War God Temple has already reached an agreement with us on this area and will not entangle us. But your fighting skills were all taught by the War God Temple, so there is only one possibility, you are a defector!"
Rhode did not answer and continued to attack the opponent. However, as the magic bestowed by God in the Temple of Wisdom, "Starry Sky Meditations" is by no means easy to deal with. As the name suggests, the magic bestowed by God to believers is often a self-contained system, containing multiple magics that complement each other. Not only are they very complementary in function, they can also promote each other in practice, and their power is often very considerable.
Under the protection of layers of galaxies, Lorenzo stopped running and closed his eyes, allowing Rhodes to bombard the barrier with his fighting spirit.
The galaxy was getting thinner and thinner under the slashing, and began to crumble. However, just when Rhodes was about to give it the final blow, Lorenzo suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, "Bind it!"
Countless tiny runes appeared out of thin air around Rhode, and they quickly formed chains around him, and then quickly tightened. Rhode, who was swinging his sword, was completely unable to resist these chains, and was tied up like a cicada pupa in an instant.
Lorenzo seemed to have consumed a huge amount of mental energy and was unable to maintain the power of the galaxy, causing the barrier to automatically dissipate.
Rhode ignited his fighting spirit several times, trying to break the chains. With his strength, even chains made of fine steel would break. However, those slender, thin character chains did not move at all.
"This is not the magic of the Temple of Wisdom. You are..." Rhodes was about to say something, but the chains suddenly tightened, stifling his words.
"Hey, people who know too much always die quickly!" At this time, facing Rhodes who had lost the ability to dodge, Lorenzo directly consumed the last of his mental strength and released the killer move in the Starry Sky Meditations: Moonlight.
A beam of light with a diameter of more than half a meter emanated from Lorenzo's hand, covering Rhode's upper body. Rhode was unable to move and could only resist with the remaining fighting spirit. However, under the moonlight, the fighting spirit melted at a very fast speed, and the light was about to destroy him.
At this time, Caterina struggled to stand up and limped towards Lorenzo.
Lorenzo used his left hand to block the stabbing dagger and erected a wind shield again. He knew very well that by the time Catalina broke the wind shield, Rhode would have been turned into ashes.
Is it really useless? My assassination technique is so weak in front of a magician. No! This way, Rhode will die. How can I protect Crete? This way, I will not be able to keep up with Master Xiao Chen. Catalina used all her strength on the dagger, but in return, she only got a sneer from Lorenzo on the opposite side of the wind shield.
Lorenzo changed his left hand from palm to grip, and the wind shield suddenly rolled up, changing from a hemispherical shape to a cylindrical shape, wrapping Catalina in the barrier formed by the wind element. For Lorenzo, who had already mastered some spiritual resonance techniques, changing the form of magic was not a difficult task.
Catalina felt like she was being held by a giant hand. The giant hand kept squeezing her, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. Soon blood started flowing out of her nostrils and mouth. With the three wounds on her body, she had lost too much blood.
She entered a state of coma, unable to open her eyes, and she was about to faint at any moment. Only the determination in her heart kept her going and she did not collapse.
I will not give up. As long as I still have a little bit of strength, I will use the dagger in my hand to poke and the teeth in my mouth to bite to prevent this guy from succeeding.
As long as there is a little strength left in my body, I will call upon that little strength and fight to the last moment.
Just as Katarina was about to use her last bit of strength to launch a final counterattack, a powerful force was born in her body. The source of that force was unknown, but it was also wind, but purer than the wind that trapped her. When the wind force in her body touched every cell, these cells were reborn. Katarina could feel the wounds being repaired one by one, and energy being injected into her body.
In an instant, Catalina opened her eyes, and the power of her newborn fighting spirit burst out from her body and poured into her dagger. Lorenzo's wind shield was shattered by the awakened wind fighting spirit. The dagger with green light cut through the wind shield with one strike and pierced straight into Lorenzo's heart.
