Two arrows came through the air, but when they approached Beta, they were directly bounced off.
"The opponent knows how to defend against arrow magic, close combat, we can't let him run away."
The four men in black rushed over one after another. Beta was not in a hurry to use magic, and then rode his horse and walked slowly to the right.
If you are an experienced player, you can naturally see that Beta is 'moving'. Just a few steps away, just enough to put most of the opponents on the same straight line as me.
A golden beam of light bombarded away, the speed was too fast for people to react, the three men in black vaporized in an instant, and the remaining man in black was wiped by the edge of the magic. Rolled to the ground.
He no longer felt the left side of his body, and was about to struggle to get up, but he had no strength left.
"How dare you fight against us, we are the third princess..."
The other party's voice stopped abruptly, and Beta flicked the blood drop on the golden sword, and then put it back into the space of the mansion.
Beta took out the key of the royal tomb from his clothes, and found that although the thing was heating up, it was not a 'physical' heating, but a spiritual heating. There is a strange spiritual power in the key, which is affecting the spiritual sense of the holder.
Why is this happening? The front is fine.
Beta was a little strange, took a few steps forward, and then found that the reaction of the square key was even stronger. He looked at the two corpses in the distance, and he knew something in his heart.
Sure enough, as he approached the "seventh prince", the square key became more and more "hot". When he was about five meters away from the corpse, the square key began to glow, shooting at the body of the gorgeously dressed seventh prince. superior.
The transparent soul was torn back by the light. This soul didn't have any sanity, but ran persistently in the air instinctively, as if it was escaping from something.
The soul of ordinary people has no thinking after death. It is essentially the information left in the spirit before the body. After a certain period of time after death, it will be led to the underworld by the divine power of Sophie, the god of the underworld, where it will be slowly and completely lost. Painfully faded into the most basic magical element. If the soul after death also has the memory and thinking ability of life, it must have at least 10 points of willpower, let alone ordinary people, even many professionals cannot achieve it.
Moreover, only certain special necromantic magic can extract human souls. Even Beta doesn't know the magic of extracting souls.
But the king attached the key, but pulled the soul of the "seventh prince" out of his body. Not only that, under the illumination of the beam of light, the soul of the seventh prince was slowly disappearing, turning into a group of light blue magic elements, Then it was sucked into the key.
After absorbing the soul, the square key returned to its original temperature, but on the system interface, there was an extra line of notes behind it.
Seal energy (1/5).
Tsk, that's interesting. Beta looked at the epic mission on the mission interface, then looked at the square key, and had several conjectures in his mind, and then he threw this thing into the space of the mansion.
Beta looked around, flicked his fingers again, the ground turned into a swamp, 'submerged' several corpses, and then the ground hardened again, leaving no blood on the ground, as if nothing had happened just now.
Beta Shi Shizhu sat on a pack horse and continued on his way.
About an hour later, he arrived at the foot of the royal city.
All the inland cities of the Kingdom of France have no walls, but the King of France City is the only exception. It has walls, which are not high, only about six meters, and not wide, about four meters.
In a world with high-end armed forces like professionals, this height and thickness, and the city walls made of ordinary building materials, have no defensive meaning at all, it is more of a symbolic meaning.
This is the royal city, so... there must be a city wall.
It is probably such a maverick feeling.
When Beta entered the city, a few guards who were almost looking at people with their nostrils checked his family crest and noble certificate. Even if they knew that he was a nobleman, even if they knew that he was a magician, they still looked down on outsiders with pride. appearance.
This is probably the feeling of "at the feet of the emperor, I have never seen such a big nobleman, the strong have never seen it, and you are a little bitch from outside, it is not a big deal at all".
Bei Qiang didn't take it seriously, and went straight into the royal city. Wangcheng is very lively, and the pedestrians on the street are bustling, making it very noisy.
The more people a city has, the more prosperous it is. This is an iron rule.
After finding a hotel to stay in, he lay on the bed and rested for about two hours, then wandered around the street, went to the pub for a drink, and returned to the hotel when it was about midnight.
After taking a shower, he sorted out the information he had collected in his notebook, and found that there were indeed treacherous and undercurrents in the royal city.
The current King of France always has seven children, four daughters and three sons... If the seventh prince Beta met during the day is real, then there are only six left.
After wandering around the street for an afternoon and a night, Beta did not collect too much information. After all, he had no contact with the upper class of King Faran City, so the useful information was not too much, but even so, it can be seen , Faran King City, the current state is very troublesome.
The eldest princess and the third princess have a dirty relationship, and when they meet each other, they usually satirize each other and embarrass each other.
The second princess doesn't like directors very much, she stays at home every day to study magic, but it is said that she has been assassinated four times in a year.
The third princess had a surly personality... Then the seventh prince died at her hands, provided that those men in black did not tell lies.
The fourth prince is weak in character, but his natal family is very powerful... The daughter of the current chairman of the Red Magic Tower is his mother.
The fifth princess has a good relationship with the eldest princess, but she is not on the right track with the third and sixth princesses.
The sixth princess, a tomboy, likes women, and leads a group of soldiers to play mercenary games every day.
The seventh prince... has died.
Beta drew several circles on the paper, focusing on the names of the eldest princess, second princess and sixth princess.
The fourth prince was also circled by him, but the circle was relatively small.
There is a precedent for a woman in power in France, so the princess will also participate in the competition for the throne.
The most important thing is that the current King of France, George Frans, has no intention of stopping the competition of these children. On the contrary, he still has a feeling of watching a show. He is already in the council hall, It has been said several times that his Wang Healing will be bestowed to the strongest person, no matter male or female.
No wonder the Seventh Prince died, a boy under the age of sixteen was killed by the thirty-two-year-old third sister.
Although the battle for the throne may not come to fruition so quickly, Beta feels that he still has to stay here to try his luck. If another member of the royal family dies during this period, wouldn't it be a profit.
For example... sudden death or something.
Beta continued to wander the streets for the next three days, and then he locked on a fat man... Count Calle.
The Earl of Calle is a distant relative of the royal family and has royal blood. Beta wanted to see if this person died, would the key absorb his soul.
The reason why he was targeted was that Earl Kale was a scumbag, the outright kind, who would abduct civilian girls, torture them for a period of time, and then sink them into the river or bury them in the soil.
He is now in his thirties, and since he was an adult, he has killed three to five girls every year. After calculation, his hands are already so red that they are turning black.
However, he was very cautious in his work, he never touched noble women, and only looked for commoner women who were pretty. Even though many people knew about his beastly behavior, they were unwilling to intervene.
Wangcheng has a population of nearly 6 million. How many women are there every year
After Beta killed such a person, he would not have any psychological burden at all.
That night, Beta was letting Joan of Arc scout the terrain of Kale Manor from a high altitude, and outside the city, a group of professionals in white robes were turning the ground by the side of the road. The stinking corpse was dug out.
"Your Excellency, I found it indeed. It is indeed the Seventh Prince."
A middle-aged bald man walked up to the corpse, ignored the smell of the corpse, and wiped off the dirt on Seventh Prince's face. Looking at the swollen face that was about to turn into a balloon for a while, he nodded and said, "It's indeed Seventh Prince's face. Prince, what is the cause of death?"
"Hitted by a bow and arrow!" A white-robed subordinate replied: "The bow and arrow are handmade, and there is not much to see."
"There's another body here."
The body of a man in black was turned out.
The middle-aged bald head walked over, checked the meeting, and said: "A sword pierces the head from the forehead to the back of the head. The sword is very sharp and the hand is very steady. The opponent is a famous sword master. But it is definitely not the habit of known sword masters in the royal city." .You thoroughly investigate the fighters, thieves, and even hunters who have entered and exited the royal city in the past month to see if there are any suspicious people."
The next three people took orders.
"Duocha, go and report to His Majesty, saying that you have found the Seventh Prince, but he can't open his eyes again."
A man in white robe left on horseback.
The middle-aged bald-headed man looked at the seventh prince's body, sighed, and said, "Others, take the prince's body back to the city, wash it, put clothes on him, and hand it over to the guardian of the royal tomb."
"Yes." Several white robes carried the seventh prince's body and put it on a stretcher.
Beta had already arrived at Calle Manor at this time. He waited outside for about half an hour. After all the candles in the manor were extinguished, he flicked his fingers and used the fog driving technique.
White mist enveloped the entire manor.
There are more than a dozen watchdogs in the manor, but their vision and hearing have been greatly affected, and even their sense of smell has lost their function. They can only smell the smell of mist.
"Damn, why is there such a big fog."
"It's not magic, there is no magic power fluctuation, it should be a rare night fog."
A manor guard holding torches walked over ten meters in front. Beta didn't even need to hide. He just stood there, and the other party couldn't see him.
Even with torches, the effective field of vision of these people would not exceed ten meters.
Beta waited for them to walk past, walked slowly through the garden, pushed open the gate of the manor mansion, and walked in.
As the earl, Kahler naturally invited a magician to sit in charge.
On the top floor of the manor, there is a small magic tower, which was originally a watchtower, but was changed into a simple magic tower.
Anthony, a master magician, was doing experiments in the magic tower when suddenly thick fog seeped in from the window. He was not alert at first because there was no magic power fluctuation, so it was still an ordinary natural fog.
But soon, the density of the fog exceeded his imagination. Even if he looked out of the window, he couldn't see anything twenty meters away.
"No, very wrong."
Anthony tried to dispel the surrounding fog with dispel, but it didn't work.
"Is it really not magic? Illusion?"
Anthony wasn't sure how he felt. If it was magic, the dispel technique should work.
He thought about it again, and sat back on the chair to continue the magic experiment, but after sitting for a while, he felt his heartbeat getting faster and faster, and he instinctively told himself that something was wrong with this mist, very something was wrong.
"Not good..." Anthony thought of a possibility, and immediately ended up using a slow fall technique, and then jumped from the window.
Beta had already entered Kale's bedroom at this time, the fat man's throat had been cut, and blood gushed out like a spring.
Beside him lay a bare but cold corpse of a young girl.
The girl's body was covered in bruises all over.
Kale's face showed the same terrified expression as a girl's. He looked at Beta, his eyes were full of begging for mercy, but Beta ignored it, and looked at the fat man's blood flow coldly.
The blood decreased a lot, and the fat man's body began to lack oxygen. He writhed and struggled like a fish landed on the shore. The opening of his throat made a grunting sound. After a while, all the muscles in his body began to twitch. , and finally he arched his body, his eyes almost protruding from their sockets.
His life is fixed at this moment.
Beta took out the square key from the space of the mansion.
The key started to heat up, and the fat man's soul was pulled out. Beta thought that the fat man's soul could also be attracted, but unexpectedly, after the fat man's soul turned into a ball of magic elements, it dissipated.
The temperature of the square key began to cool down.
"It doesn't seem to work."
Beta muttered, then jumped out of the window. Less than ten seconds after he left, Anthony floated in from the window. He rushed directly into the bedroom, and then saw the dead Kale.
"No."
Because of the Mist Driving technique, only Beta could hear this sad and angry roar. He had already arrived outside the manor at this time. Hearing this voice, he sneered, flicked his fingers, and removed the fog driving technique.
He went back to the hotel to rest, and the next morning, when he went down to the first floor for breakfast, he heard that someone was already talking about Kahler's death.
Beta smiled, and after breakfast, he went to the mercenary union.
Since the blood of distant relatives of the royal family is useless, the only way to find the direct blood of the royal family is.
Princess Six likes to play mercenary games
This is a very good breakthrough, at least Beta thinks so.
