White Rock City, market area.
There is a pawnshop and loan lending shop here. It has a strange name called 'Pawn Xiaoyu'. When you walk into the shop, you will find that the shopkeepers are simple and honest, and the boss is kind-hearted. They are all ordinary people, and they should be doing business seriously.
But the outside is just a disguise, and there is a mystery hidden in this shop.
The second floor of the store is the bedroom of the pawnbroker and the clerk. On the surface, everything is normal, but if you look closely, you can find that the area on the second floor seems to be a little smaller, but it is hard to tell how small it is.
On this day, the business in Pawn Xiaoyu was as normal as usual, which is normal. Their line of business has always been closed for half a year, and they have been open for half a year. Occasionally, someone will enter the shop, as if to discuss business.
But as long as you observe carefully, you can find a strange phenomenon, that is, these people can only go in and out, and there is no figure of that person in the store, and those who entered the store seem to evaporate out of thin air.
Where did people go? No one cares, most of the market area is filled with foreigners, while the locals are busy doing business.
At this time, another mysterious man wearing a gray cloak came. When he arrived in the shop, a hoarse voice came from under the cloak: "Shadows cover the world!"
Hearing these words, the benevolent pawn shop owner stretched out his hand to make an invitation, and at the same time said in a low voice, "My lord, please come this way."
The man nodded slightly and walked up the stairs leading to the second floor.
On the second floor, walk along the corridor to the end, and in front of the wall, the man stopped, stretched out a skinny hand, and gently pressed against the wooden wall. Immediately, a faintly radiant rune appeared on the originally empty wall.
The person pushed forward suddenly, the wall pushed back, and the wall opened like a wall, revealing a narrow stairway going down inside, and faint voices came from the stairway.
This is the entrance to the underground secret room. Who would have thought that the entrance to the underground secret room is not on the first floor, but on a wall on the second floor
The staircase in front of him was hidden in the mezzanine of the wall, less than half a meter wide, very narrow, but the man was very thin, and the space seemed empty when he walked down the stairs.
Walking all the way, there is a turning point in the stairs in front of you. After passing the turning point, you can see the jumping candlelight in front of you, and the sound becomes clearer, and there is also a strange breathing sound of 'snoring'.
The cloaked man walked over, and an underground secret room appeared in front of him.
This secret room is very spacious, about 20 meters long and wide. There is a long table with a candlestick on it. Under the flickering candlelight, five 'people' can be seen sitting beside the table.
To be more precise, there are 2 people and 3 demons.
The figures of these three demons are about the same as those of the human race, but they look extremely weird. One of them turned into two big round axes, one was like a large human-shaped lizard, and the other was a big human-shaped toad. , making a gurgling sound, and at the same time, two vesicles on the sides of the cheeks kept swelling, and it could be seen that the vesicles were filled with black juice.
When the cloaked man appeared, one of the assassins in dark red leather armor turned around and whispered, "Ankeru, you're late."
The leather armor on this assassin is very special. As his body moves slightly, wisps of blood-colored mist can be seen scattering out. It is precisely because of the existence of this mist that the outline of this assassin's body appears indistinct, and it is difficult to determine his exact position. .
"It can't be my fault, Bren, there were some accidents on the road." The cloaked man was the level 7 necromancer Ankeru who was beaten by Link before and fled.
"Accident? Where are the two shadow shields I arranged for you?" The assassin called Brune was a little unbelievable. The opponent was a level 7 magician, a big treasure. For his safety, he specially equipped him with Two level 6 shield warrior guards, with such strength, they can already walk sideways in the Kingdom of Leo, what accidents can happen
An Kelu sat down at the long table, and said helplessly: "Something went wrong when we captured that devil tiger. A ridiculously strong magician came on the way, and the three of us were no match for him. Those two shields The soldier died in battle, and I tried my best to escape."
"Magician? One against the three of you? Did you recognize who he is?" Brun didn't rush to blame An Kelu, because he knew that things in this world should not be done simply by looking at the results. Although An Kelu's result this time is really lame, it still depends on who his opponent is.
Ankelu spread his hands helplessly: "The battle happened too fast, we were still attacked by surprise, so I didn't see him. But his magic is just one move, it is a giant hand made of fire elements, look It looks a bit like the Fist of Philomoz, a level 6 magic, but it can turn into other shapes, which is very strange."
"A flaming hand?" A guy next to him who also hid himself under the cloak suddenly spoke, and the voice came out, and the tone was unusually delicate, no different from that of a girl.
"Yes, Lina, it's a giant flaming hand." Ankelu shrugged. Although this magician is very young, the other party is from a high elf, which is a natural magical race. The other party is only 40 years old now. He is a level 6 peak magician, and he does not take it lightly.
Hearing what Ankeru said, the high elf named Lina turned to Brune and said, "That should be the one from the north."
Brun's body shook: "The one in the north? Are you talking about the demon-slaying hand, Link, the master of flames?"
Lena nodded.
An Kelu suddenly realized: "No wonder you are so powerful, it turned out to be him."
That night in East Valley, he fled in a hurry and didn't see the battle process. After hearing the wind, he fled all the way south, so he didn't know Link's methods, so he naturally didn't recognize him.
He also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He thought he was really old, and a magician popping up from any corner could beat him to shame. He was still a little frustrated along the way, but now that he knew the identity of his opponent, he felt relieved. Much calmer.
His failure this time was not because he was not strong, but because his opponent was too strong, it was not a crime of war!
Brun didn't have anything to say. Facing a terrifying existence that could crush a level 8 demon to death, Ankelu's ability to escape already showed his ability. It can only be said that he was unlucky when he accidentally ran into that person. What else can he say
At the same time, he also had some headaches. Looking at the spinning knife demon opposite, he spread his hands and said, "Briere, I have to tell you some bad news. The magician who killed Taluvis this time has a very high possibility of killing him." It's for Princess Celine."
The Spinning Demon is the head of the three demons. He is the most powerful, at the peak level of level 6. With the fighting talent of the demon, he can fight against human fighters of the same level. Five are possible.
However, the magician has a terrifying record, no matter how confident he is, he dare not compare with Taluvis, who was once a legendary strongman, and now even Taluvis has been beaten to his knees by the opponent, so he is naturally no match. Lun's words made him extremely entangled, entangled for a while, and his last struggle: "Why do you say that he came for the princess?"
Bren took out a scroll and threw it to Bree: "This is the information about him. It was given to us by the hand of death. In Greenstone, Princess Celine once rescued him, and then General Lund tried to kill him. When I was a magician, the reason why I didn’t succeed is not unrelated to the princess resisting halfway. There is friendship between them, and now he goes south for no reason, what do you think he is doing for?”
Brielle was silent for a while, but from his heavy breathing, one could hear the unwillingness in his heart.
The lizard demon on the side whispered: "Boss, no matter how powerful he is, there is only one person. We have a group."
After finishing speaking, the lizard demon turned to Bren and said, "You can't just watch this matter, you have to get help."
Bren was silent, and Lena beside him shook her head: "We will not intervene openly, at most cover your retreat. You must know that he is not the only opponent. We have to face people from the Union of Magicians, and This is the headquarters of the Federation!"
Brun still didn't say a word, he had already acquiesced to Lena's words.
But at this time, An Kelu said: "I think this is an opportunity!"
"Um?"
"How to say?"
Everyone in the room turned to him, waiting for his explanation.
"You see, Link is here for Princess Celine, and he must save her. But the princess is a demon, and she is also the target of the Federation of Magicians. As long as we provoke a little, Link will fight against the Federation of Magicians. Come on, when the time comes, when they fight for both sides, and we finally show up, maybe we can reap a great victory!"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of Brun and the devil began to light up, but Lina snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Ankelu, if you think he will be fooled, then you think him too simply ?”
An Kelu insisted on his own opinion: "Hmph, there are risks in everything, especially the master's career, which is even more risky. How will you know the result if you don't work hard? Brun, what do you say?"
Before Bren could speak, the spinning knife demon Bree who was facing him added: "My master's promise is still valid. As long as you bring back Princess Celine, he will fully support your master."
These words were like a sharp knife, cutting off the hesitation in Bren's heart at once, and he said: "The world is covered in shadows, this matter can be done, but we need to plan well."
As soon as these words came out, a smile appeared on Ankelu's skinny face under the hood. He alone was no match for that guy, but with the help of so many people, plus the people from the Union of Magicians, he would definitely be able to defeat him. ? Even if the opponent is really tyrannical and can defeat everyone, he will be ruined because of protecting the demons, and he will lose anyway.
Lina on the side obviously didn't think so, but she knew that the situation was settled, and she couldn't stop Brun anymore. Half of her fair face appeared under her hood, and no expression could be seen on it.
Ignoring the overly cautious female magician, the demon Bree laughed loudly: "This will definitely be a great killing feast!"
…
The Demon Suppression Squad from the Union of Magicians had already arrived outside the market area of White Rock City. They began to disperse, with an average of 4 groups, divided into 8 groups, and the last group consisted of Hanluot and Vivier.
"Our informant has identified the hiding place of the demon woman. Let's go in and seal her escape position. Remember, once you lock the target, kill it immediately, and never hold back!"
While speaking, Hanluot took a special look at his disciple Vivier. He brought him here this time to completely cut off the thought of this disciple.
It is his responsibility as a teacher to guide his disciples on the right path.
Vivier felt the gaze of the mentor, this time he did not avoid it, he looked back at his mentor with a very firm gaze.
"Very good." Hanluot was very satisfied: "Start to act!"
