Assassin’s Chronicle

Chapter 51: It's hard to distinguish between true and false

Views:

The moonlight is like water, shining on the deserted road, with a somewhat desolate and desolate atmosphere, the wind is swirling around, it is already late at night, except for a few special places and the pier is still *** Beyond its glory, much of Lagan City was plunged into darkness.

Although it is a city with a strong commercial atmosphere, there are no nightclubs in this era. The brightest place in the center of the city has nothing to do with commerce. In addition to the city lord's palace, there are also city hall, garrison, and magic. There are a series of necessary facilities such as the Trade Union, the Swordsmen's Guild, and the Knights' Temple. In ancient and modern times, few people would be reluctant to spend the country's money. The same is true here. Regardless of whether it is necessary or not, there are streets on both sides in front of each building. , there are huge candlesticks connected to each other, scattering light.

The door to the city lord's mansion suddenly opened, and two groups of knights rushed out of it. What rushed in front was a group of knights in black clothes and black armor. They looked to be of average rank, but the knights behind were surprising. Not only The rank is several levels higher than that of the previous knights, and they are all equipped with silver-white armor. The horses under them are also the same color. Each of them holds a huge shield in his hand, and the standard silver war gun flashes in the moonlight. With a terrifying cold light.

Ordinary knights would be particular about their equipment, but war horses could not be taken into consideration. Requiring uniform war horses... would give people a feeling of being picky.

Two groups of knights turned the corner. The formation of the knights in front was loose. Sometimes you overtook me, sometimes I overtook you. However, the speed of the knights behind always remained the same. The three knights were running parallel and neatly. It was an experience at a glance. Passed rigorous training. In front of the giant shield in their hands, there is a raised cross. The cross is bright red with a white flame inlaid on it, which means that they are the knights of the Holy Flame Legion, which is famous throughout the Mayo Empire!

Galloping through the long street, there is a market in front. During the day, this place is very lively. Let alone galloping, even walking forward among the crowds takes a lot of time. But at night, there is no one here. It's all messy garbage and discarded objects. It won't be until early in the morning that the scavengers will clean it up, leaving a tidy market for the people who go to the market the next day.

They galloped all the way to the middle of the market. The knights in black in front were still rushing forward blankly, but the knights of the Holy Flame Legion behind them felt something and reined in their horses one after another.

A black shadow emerged from the right and threw something out. Strong magic fluctuations suddenly occurred in the air, and then the thing turned into countless ice blades and snowflakes, raining down on the knights.

Among all high-level magics, the power of Ice Snow Dance is only mid-range. The advantage of this magic is that it covers a large area and can produce severe cold below minus 50 degrees in a certain area. The ice mixed in the cold current Blades and snowflakes are deadly weapons. Snowflakes in nature are very beautiful, but snowflakes produced by magic are not the same. Snowflakes with sharp edges and high-speed rotation are enough to leave cuts on the human body, not to mention there are too many snowflakes. If they fly into the eyes, , no matter how strong the fighting spirit is, one cannot resist it!

The ice-covered snow dance turned the market into a frozen hell in an instant. The knights in black who rushed in front let out miserable screams. Balls of blood mist exploded on them, and blood spurted out. After being removed from the body, it immediately turned into sparkling blood beads in the cold current, falling to the ground like a goddess scattering flowers, making a crisp sound.

The situation of the knights of the Holy Flame Legion is better. At least they are still alive. Unfortunately, their fighting spirit can only barely protect themselves, but cannot protect their horses. It is like being slashed by an invisible and irresistible fighting spirit. Their war horses are at the same time. Time fell to the ground, and the knights of the Holy Flame Legion fell over, but they did not dare to open their eyes, and they all looked extremely embarrassed.

A black shadow also appeared on the left side. He stretched out his hand and cast another strong wave of magic power. The whole sky lit up for a moment, and then a thick chain of lightning fell from the sky and swept across the frozen hell.

As the top magic among high-level magics, the power of chain lightning is unquestionable. It attacks all living creatures within the target range, not even an ant! The more life forms there are, the weirder the twisted angles of the chain lightning are.

The struggling knights of the Holy Flame Legion all fell to the ground. Under this top-level magic attack second only to the forbidden curse, only high-level swordsmen and high-level silver knights and above can escape with their fighting spirit. After a calamity, even the middle-level experts will be severely damaged! Pure ice is non-conductive, so the power of ordinary lightning arrows and arcs will be affected to some extent here. The problem is that chain lightning will directly hit all living creatures, unless they have turned into icemen all over their bodies at this moment. There is no way to escape the lightning attack.

The chain lightning flashed away, and the ice blades and snowflakes flashing in the air gradually dispersed. At the moment when the magic power disappeared, another bloated figure sprang out and rushed towards the field.

Yes, it's bloated. An Fei is a very thoughtful person. After deciding which two magic scrolls to use, he carefully asked about the effects of the magic, such as how many times the chain lightning will attack, and how long the frozen snow dance will last. , how much the temperature will change, etc. These questions are very naive to Chris Ding and Zubin, but An Fei really doesn't know.

The sequelae of lightning can be ignored, but An Fei will not rush into the extremely cold environment foolishly. Even after the magic effect dissipates, the temperature rises, and it is estimated to be between minus 40 and 50 degrees, so An Fei took care of it. There are so many pieces of clothing that I almost wrap myself up into a rice dumpling. There are two pieces of transparent crystal on my head to make a simple 'chemical mask', and I also wear crude gloves on my hands. No trace of skin is exposed on my body. Outside.

However, these things only slightly affected An Fei's speed. His movements could still be described as fast as lightning. He didn't care about the knights in black. The focus was on the knights of the Holy Flame Legion.

An Fei rushed through the field like a dragonfly. He gave up the faster spinning slash and used stabbing. It was so cold that it was difficult to cause the opponent to lose a lot of blood in a short period of time. It was better to use 'stabbing'. Even if there are still people alive after they leave, in the face of fatal injuries, not to mention the priest of light, even the high priest in red is helpless.

"Let's go!" An Fei 'handled it properly' and shouted.

Chris Ding released a levitation technique, flew to the right side of the market, and supported Zubin: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Zubin smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Chris Ding released chain lightning that consumed more magic power, while Zubin released the Ice Snow Dance. But now that Chris Ding is fine, he can also release the levitation technique, but Zubin feels like his magic power has been drained. . This is the difference between a low-level magician and a high-level magician. Although the difference is only one level, there is a big gap in quality. Many people are only high-level magicians in their lives and never can. This is evident when you step into the ranks of magisters.

Shan Te's figure appeared from the back of the market. He ran close to An Fei and handed over what he was holding.

An Fei put the thing into the space ring and hurried to Chris Ding and Zubin: "Quick! Let's meet up with Bravi and the others, and then leave Lagan City. The small team of the Holy Flame Legion arrived in the blink of an eye. They were completely wiped out by us. They still don’t know our strength yet, so they may send people to test us. If it’s too late, it will be too late.”

"I know, come on, Shante, let's take Zubin together." Chris Ding said.

Chris Ding and Shante released the floating technique and took Zubin floating in the air, while An Fei ran on the ground with pride. After a while, the four people arrived at a crossroads. An Fei stopped, and Chris Ding The others also fell from the sky.

"Where are Bravi and the others? Why haven't they come yet?" Zubin asked anxiously.

"Their journey is farther than ours, and there may be some minor troubles. Let's wait." An Fei said slowly.

"An Fei, you are so crazy!" Chris Ding suddenly sighed: "Do you know? My heart is still beating fast!"

"If your heart didn't beat, you would have died long ago." An Fei made a little joke.

"An Fei, aren't you afraid? What if... Philip came from the teleportation array, we would be finished by now!"

"This possibility is very small." An Fei said lightly.

"Why?"

"What Zubin said to me reminded me."

"What did I say?" Even Zubin couldn't help asking this time.

"He said that for the sake of our teacher, the Magic Guild will not deliberately embarrass us. Passing the wanted order is a business matter. They can't delay it, but they will definitely find ways to refuse to arrest us."

"What does this prove?"

"There are many things that can be proved. Let's talk about ourselves. If I had known that Zeda was Philip's grandson, I would not have killed him. I could only find a way to knock him out. Now many people know that we He is a student of Master Sol, if it were you, would you come to deal with us?"

"No." Chris Ding understood somewhat, but there were still many things he didn't understand: "But does this have anything to do with Philip not being able to come?"

"I told you that the middle-aged man vaguely guessed Niya's identity. He had two choices. One was to inform the prince, and the other was to inform Phillip. Which one do you think he would choose?" Now waiting for Bravi and the others, An Fei is patient in explaining: "Everyone knows that Philip has a violent personality. If he comes, he will definitely kill us! In this case, how do you think he is? Are you brave enough to tell Philip? He is not afraid of the teacher's revenge! Telling to the eldest prince is different. This is called performing official duties, while telling Philip is seeking personal revenge!"

"I know!" Zubin sighed: "If we are harmed by the eldest prince, he can still find excuses to shirk his responsibilities. After all, he is working for the Mao Empire. If he informs Philip, it will appear that he covets Philip. The teacher will never let him go if he has received the family’s bounty.”

"He forcibly suppressed the conflict at that time. I knew he was a smart man. Smart people will not do stupid things unless he really needs the bounty from the Philip family." An Fei smiled.

"But...what if Phillip really comes?"

"I have a solution even if he comes." An Fei said lightly.

"Is what you said true or... false?" Chris Ding asked dumbfounded.

Shante secretly glanced at An Fei and saw that An Fei smiled and didn't say anything. He didn't say anything either. The most excited among the four people was not Chris Ding, but him, Shante. His hands were still trembling even now. Only he knew that An Fei was telling the truth.
