The situation is a bit frozen.
Every time the knights break the water barrier, the older mage will summon another one, and their long swords can't hurt each other at all. The other party was almost the same, because the two young mages were relatively stupid, and the three of them couldn't do anything to the Paladin for a while.
But Benjamin knew that this stalemate would not last long.
Judging from the elder mage's calm attitude, you can tell that he still has a backup plan. Now he just wants to teach newbies, so he only uses defensive magic. Once he really uses offensive magic, these two paladins may not be able to stop him.
If they can't stop it, Benjamin will suffer too.
Although he began to sympathize a little with the older mage, at the beginning, this man said that he would silence them all. Benjamin didn't dare to bet whether his life would be spared if he revealed his identity as a mage. This is tantamount to giving the initiative to others.
Besides, he wasn't ready to fall out with the church yet.
Therefore, he still chose to side with the two knights.
He made his choice and no longer planned to sit back and watch - it had reached this point, even if he hadn't developed yet, he had to join the group and couldn't continue to be an OB.
In his mind, a plan to break the deadlock quickly took shape.
At this moment, the knights launched a second round of attacks on the blisters.
The moment they slashed with their swords, Benjamin suddenly moved. He quickly raised his hand and without anyone else noticing, fired a shot at the older mage without hesitation.
boom!
The sound of popping blisters mixed with the sound of gunshots startled the others.
And Benjamin, after firing the shot, immediately rushed towards the thief who was shot in the knee and could not move. He didn't care what happened to the mages and knights after this shot, but he only wanted to get back the money he had stolen.
The child was not prepared, and Benjamin immediately grabbed the money.
After receiving the money, Benjamin was relieved.
This is what he came up with. First of all, with his attack power, it is impossible to penetrate the water barrier. Although the knights can work together to break the water barrier, they have to cut a second sword to hurt the mage. As long as the mage releases the water barrier again before striking the second sword, he can block the knight.
This creates a balance, and all Benjamin has to do is break it.
He used the shooting interface to calculate the time and fired at the moment when the water barrier was about to be broken. The bullet will pass through the bubble and hit the target the moment it is shattered. The time difference between this was too short, and the other party didn't even have time to recite the spell, let alone make up a new water barrier.
A mage without protective magic is just an ordinary person, no more than a thin piece of paper in front of bullets. Therefore, such a shot, even without enchantment, is enough to change the entire situation of the battle.
He aimed at the old mage's heart and fired, but because this was the first time he shot with murderous intent, and because he felt that the old mage was miserable, he couldn't help but shake his hands when he fired. , most likely not accurate.
But even if he can't hit it accurately, he should still be half disabled.
In fact, he had no determination to put the other party to death. From beginning to end, there was only one thing in his mind - to get the money back.
As for the last part of the whole plan, Benjamin, who grabbed the money, took advantage of the chaotic scene after the shooting to escape. In fact, according to what he thought, with the strength of the older mage, even if he was seriously injured, he should be able to use something like a blindfold, and then escape with his two students.
As for the two paladins, they should chase after them. As a result, no one cared about Benjamin, and he could continue his plan to buy a gun.
It is indeed a well-thought-out plan. After all, the two paladins were protecting themselves. Benjamin didn't want them to get hurt, but the three of them were mages like him. Benjamin thought of the words at the end of the Bible and hoped that they wouldn't die here like this.
When he first came up with this plan, Benjamin couldn't help but smile to himself. Maybe he just can't be like the protagonists in those novels, killing decisively and treating human life as nothing.
Just like that, Benjamin fired the gun, grabbed the money, and everything went as planned. Screams and exclamations were also heard from the mage's side, but there was no sound of falling to the ground. It was confirmed that the bullet hit and no one was killed, which is great and beautiful. Benjamin had also turned around and was preparing to escape.
However, just like every plan he came up with after coming to this world, no matter how good it was, something would always go wrong.
When he turned to run away, suddenly, several rapid and angry spells came from behind him, and the violent fluctuations of magic power and elements scared him. He couldn't help but looked back.
I saw a huge wave rising in front of the three mages.
Damn it!
What kind of magic is this
Benjamin misjudged the behavior of the older mage. He might have been shot half-dead by the two students. His anger reached its peak and he accidentally triggered the rampage mode. Therefore, instead of using magic to escape, he chose to use magic to attack.
Looking at this posture, the huge wave of more than ten meters summoned out of thin air in the alley is definitely a magic of the ultimate level. This mage can even use water barriers so powerfully. How powerful must he be when he unleashes his ultimate move
Facing such a huge wave, Benjamin felt that he was not facing magic, but the vast nature, and he couldn't even think of resisting.
What the hell... Water Release·Water Dragon Bullet Technique
Finally, just a second before the huge wave came, he still raised his will and used a water ball technique to turn into water bubbles to protect himself - he was not afraid of discovering the identity of the mage. The two paladins stood closer to the front. , has been submerged by the raging water. There was no one else around, so no one knew he had used magic.
The next second after the bubbles formed, huge waves crashed down hard.
Benjamin's vision went dark and he lost consciousness.
…
"Why are you chasing me?"
"I want emergency syrup!"
W-what the hell
"Besunyuan always moisturizes tea, eliminates toxins, and makes you feel relaxed."
Where is the remote control? Quickly change the channel...
"You have Yuting, don't worry and love me..."
shut up!
Benjamin woke up suddenly, gasping for air, opened his eyes and sat up.
"Ah, you finally woke up." The voice of the system came from my mind, sounding very cheerful.
Benjamin sat there, silent for a while, taking a breath, and then said helplessly to the system: "If I faint again next time, can you find another way to wake me up?"
The digital interface appeared before his eyes again:
"If you need human service, please press zero."
Give him this set again.
Benjamin was too lazy to take care of the system. After experiencing such a terrible magic, the first thing he had to do was to confirm his condition: the pain came from various parts of the body, but it was not severe and tolerable. There was no missing arm or leg or anything, and he could move freely. Overall, he's fine.
This made him feel relieved a little. He originally thought that he would be seriously injured. It seems that the mage's ultimate move is not as scary as imagined.
However, when he took a look at his surroundings, he was not so optimistic.
This was not the alley where he fainted.
He was in a place that looked a bit like a warehouse. The lighting was poor and the space was closed. Only a kerosene lamp on the far wall could provide illumination. There was nothing in the entire warehouse, and it felt very empty. Combined with the dim light, it made people feel like they were in a horror movie.
Benjamin was a little confused.
Where is this
Why did he wake up in a completely unfamiliar place? Did someone bring him here
What happened during the time he was unconscious
"Hey, why did you wake up so quickly?" Suddenly, a voice came from behind him.
Benjamin immediately turned around and saw two young mages, one tall and one short, standing at the other end of the warehouse, huddled together, staring at him with curiosity and fear.
Benjamin's heart moved. Was it these two people who brought him here
Thinking of this, he looked around a few times nervously. Fortunately, there was no sign of the older mage, and Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey, I'm talking to you, why don't you answer me?" Seeing that Benjamin didn't speak for a long time, the short man seemed a little anxious and shouted.
Benjamin was about to answer, but was overtaken by another person.
"Don't be like this. I think he may have been stunned by the teacher's magic and doesn't understand what we are talking about." The taller one pushed the shorter one and said thoughtfully.
"Yeah, why didn't I expect that he was really stunned!" The short man immediately showed an expression of realization and said happily.
"What should we do? If he is stunned, who will save the teacher?" However, the tall man soon showed a worried expression and said distressedly.
"Really, what should I do..." Brother Shorty's face suddenly drooped, and he said sadly.
The two got closer again and began to whisper to each other.
“…”
Benjamin looked at the two people with a confused expression.
"Hey, you two." After hesitating, he decided to show his normal intelligence level, and he also had something to ask them, "Did you bring me here? Where is this place? What happened? Where is your teacher?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he regretted them a little.
He should have asked one by one. So many questions were asked at once. Given the IQs of these two people, they probably couldn't answer them...
It turned out that he was overly worried.
"Shh, don't make any noise. You've been stunned. You can't speak." The short man turned around, glared at Benjamin, and said fiercely.
“…”
Benjamin overestimated the intelligence of these two men.
"What happened? Please explain to me quickly." He gave up communicating with these two people and turned to the system in his mind.
"That magic knocked you all unconscious, but after the magic was cast, the mage also fainted, and only those two fools were left with the ability to move." In contrast, the system's voice sounded more reliable. "These two fools discussed for a while and prepared to escape with the fainted mage. But for some reason, they took you with them. The two knights were thrown into the alley and ignored. .”
After listening to the system's explanation, Benjamin thought for a while and asked: "Where is this place? How far did they take me?"
The system replied: "Don't worry, they haven't left the city, and this is still Havenright. They didn't go far, only about ten minutes. But this place is quite hidden, and it's probably difficult for others to find it."
Only ten minutes
Benjamin felt relieved immediately. What he was most worried about was that he was taken to a place far away from the emperor. Fortunately, he was still in the outer city. And judging from this time, he probably didn't faint for long.
The system also remembers the road so that you won’t get lost.
Thinking like this, he stood up and prepared to leave this place under the instructions of the system - anyway, those two people thought they were being photographed stupid, didn't they
He had encountered enough trouble tonight, and he didn't know if he should go ahead and buy a gun.
"Stop! You can't leave!"
However, when the short man saw that Benjamin was about to leave, he became anxious again and ran over to stop Benjamin.
"Why did you stop me?" Benjamin said expressionlessly.
"Although I don't know what magic you used to hurt the teacher, the teacher is about to die now, and only you can save him. Of course you are not allowed to leave!" the short man said plausibly.
"That's right, you're not allowed to leave." The tall man also ran over and added.
Benjamin was speechless.
Not to mention that he did not use magic to injure the older mage. He used a pistol, but the two people mistakenly thought it was magic. This was enough for him to complain about. However, don’t these two people think they are stupid? Why do they still think they can save their teacher
What exactly is in their minds
"Aren't you saying I'm stupid? How can I save people if I'm stupid?" Benjamin asked.
"Yeah, he was so stunned that he couldn't save the teacher." After hearing this, the short man was stunned, and immediately changed from a anxious state to a look of despair.
"You are already stupid, there is no use for you, just go." The tall man also shook his head and said to Benjamin.
“…”
I don't know why, but after being messed with by these two people, Benjamin felt that he couldn't take the step to leave.
It’s really…
never mind.
After struggling for a while, he took a few steps outside, sighed heavily, and walked back again. He was a little helpless and said to the two of them: "I'm not stupid. Where is your teacher? Take me to see. Maybe I can save him."
He felt like a kindergarten teacher who couldn't help but help a child when he fell.
When the two "children" heard this, they looked at each other with expressions of surprise.
"You must save our teacher, or we will kill you." The short man grabbed Benjamin and said these words happily while running deeper into the warehouse.
"...Oh." Benjamin looked indifferent.
