Li Xini looked indifferent: "Will they listen to me?"
It was obvious that this group of people heard their conversation when they were ambushing at the stairs.
In this academy, there has always been a gap between commoners and nobles.
Rather, this phenomenon of class antagonism has been going on in the Brentanian Empire for decades.
The common people believed that the nobles were greedy, selfish, and weak.
The nobles' thoughts were simple: a bunch of untouchables!
A dandy young master like Licinius is the one most despised by this group of civilian elites.
Therefore, at the moment of meeting just now, Licinius and Noren were probably labeled as selfish and living a life of mediocrity.
"Well, you are nobles, I have nothing to say."
Cecil didn't say anything else. After all, there was still a fourth-level warlock in the academy. This was definitely good news for them, there was no doubt about it.
At this moment, the old man's powerful voice echoed in the sky: "Thugs in the school, listen to me, this is your last chance! Release the hostages in your hands immediately, surrender!
Otherwise, the spear of justice will nail you to the deepest part of hell! You demons who have betrayed God will eventually be judged by God!"
Principal Bane roared: "The teachers and students of our Royal National Knight Academy will never compromise!"
Apart from the military, there were only a few senior members of the academy standing behind him.
And a few professors who managed to escape.
The problem was that the teachers and students he said would never compromise were now like a group of ducks. They were gathered in the center of the square, squatting on the ground with their hands on their heads, shivering.
Dozens of people wearing clown masks were patrolling nearby. Some of them were holding muskets, some were carrying rune swords, and some were holding crystal staffs. It was obvious that this was an armed group of warlocks.
They held the hostages next to the fountain in the square and even buried gunpowder around them.
No one dared to act rashly.
If there is any unusual movement, this group of armed thugs will kill everyone without hesitation.
Cecil and his team immediately leaned on the window to investigate the situation with serious expressions.
"Noren, what level is their strongest man?"
Li Xini asked casually, but he regretted it right after he asked: "Forget it, you reckless husband... oh no, it should be reckless wife! No, forget it, it doesn't matter what level it is!"
Norn glanced coldly at the thugs downstairs and said, "Although I don't have perception magic, with my intuition, I should be able to defeat 70% to 80% of their combat power with my full strength, but I can't care about the life and death of the hostages. At that time, I can only lead you to break through, Master."
Li Xini was surprised: "Are these people so powerful?"
He was well aware of the fighting power of the girl in front of him, which was a violence rarely seen in the world.
If even she can't guarantee that she can completely wipe out this group of thugs, then today's matter will be a bit troublesome.
Norn was silent for a few seconds and looked towards the square. "This group of people is not simple, especially their leader. I have a very strange feeling about them. They may not be easy to deal with."
Licinius raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
Cecil turned around and asked, "What level are they at?"
Li Xini kindly reminded: "It's a level that even Norn finds troublesome."
Cecil and the others looked at them and moved their lips.
Since the other party is so powerful, why don’t you join forces with us!
These people almost have question marks written on their faces.
However, Licinius was not panicked at all.
If you act rashly, you will only expose your flaws.
At this time, a thug glanced at the crowd for a moment, then grabbed a girl's hair and pulled her out in an extremely rough manner, ignoring her screams and cries, and forcibly dragged her to the front of the crowd.
"Tria!"
Someone among the hostages exclaimed, because that was the most outstanding civilian girl in the college. Because of her poor family background, she had been working part-time to pay for her studies. She was kind and friendly, and very beautiful. She was pursued by many outstanding boys and was recognized by everyone as the undisputed school belle.
Licinius also remembered this girl.
Since he confirmed that he could not learn magic, he basically used the class time to sleep. As a result, there was always an extra notebook on the desk after each get out of class.
The notebooks are filled with magical knowledge.
That was specially sent to him by Tria.
Of course this doesn't mean that Tria has any feelings for him, but this girl is very enthusiastic and kind to everyone.
Trying her best to help everyone.
The clown leader laughed wildly, pointed his musket at the girl's head, and shouted arrogantly: "Listen to me, everyone outside! Don't think we will be scared by you. If we can survive in this world, who would want to rebel
Don’t you agree, my dear principal? One hundred thousand gold coins, give us one hundred thousand gold coins, and arrange our retreat, and we will release them.”
"We have no way to retreat. We have already prepared ourselves to be killed! But even if we die, we will take a few people with us! Do you believe me, I will kill this girl right now?"
He pressed the gun against the girl's head and said with a fierce smile, "It would be beautiful if your head exploded, right?"
Tria knelt on the ground helplessly, covering her lips and trembling, tears in her eyes.
"Please, let me go, I still have family, I have an elderly grandmother..."
However, her crying was rudely interrupted!
The clown leader stuffed the musket into her mouth fiercely and said viciously: "Shut up!"
"Tria!"
Cecil's eyes instantly turned red and his face was filled with anger.
That's his beloved girl!
He turned around and looked at the master and servant who seemed to have nothing to do with him, and whispered: "Licinius! Tria helped you! If you still have a trace of dignity as a noble, let Norn help you!"
boom!
Cecil broke the glass and jumped down from the tall building: "Do it!"
At that moment, Principal Ben in the distance showed an excited expression!
The old principal was not a fool. The reason why he denounced the thugs in the academy and asked the guards behind him to stay put was actually to buy time for the team!
He believes in his adopted son!
At this moment, whether it is the spectators outside or the hostages in the academy.
Everyone showed a look of surprise and anticipation!
However, no one expected that the clown leader, who was originally feeling proud of himself, suddenly raised his head and looked at the four people falling from the sky, and let out a cold and complacent laugh under his mask.
His pupils were suddenly covered with a strange blood color!
boom!
Cecil and others felt their brains buzzing, as if pierced by countless sharp steel needles.
The four people’s eyes went dark, and they instantly lost their balance and fell flat on the ground!
Baji!
Flash sale!
Everyone was stunned, then felt their scalp tingling and trembling.
The quartet that was placed with high hopes just fell like that!
Licinius also felt his scalp tingling and trembling.
"Fuck, dark magic!"
His eyes were full of excitement, and the corners of his mouth were almost split to his ears: "Psychological black magic!"
Chapter 3 So, exchange
Surrounded by the guards, Principal Ben's confident expression gradually collapsed.
"Principal, this is what you call the trump card of the Royal National Knight Academy?"
A middle-aged officer wearing a black cloak, with a resolute and masculine face, said, "Your strength is not bad, but you are too reckless. Although mental magic is rare, it is not completely extinct. Once you encounter mental magic, you will be wiped out. This is not good."
He was using perception magic to investigate the situation inside the academy.
"Major Hayden is right."
Principal Ben looked embarrassed: "But aren't these just a bunch of thugs? How can there be mental magic?"
Hayden said calmly: "They are refugees from the ancient city of Hera."
Principal Ben was stunned.
In the territory of the East Continent, the Brentanian Empire and the Kingdom of Loen are neighboring countries. In recent years, many conflicts and frictions have broken out between them, especially recently. There have even been rumors of an all-out war.
The reason is the ancient city of Hera on the border.
It is said that underground in that ancient city, there are a large number of ancient relics and extremely rare magical resources buried.
Although this was originally the territory of the Brentanian Empire, it was too close to the Kingdom of Loen and the other party was unwilling to see this piece of fat meat on their doorstep being taken away.
As a result, a conflict broke out between the two sides over the border issue.
"This group of people is called the Jokers. They were just a mediocre adventurer team before, but they suddenly grew up half a month ago. At that time, the Queen was still supervising the battle at the front line. They dared to rebel under the Queen's nose. Can you guess why? The Queen suspected that they got something from the ruins of the ancient city of Hera."
Hayden snorted, "Of course, they are still very weak now. The reason they dare to do this must be someone's instigation. Her Majesty the Queen has been keeping an eye on them until today."
During wartime, it is normal for some people to want to gain benefits by provoking internal unrest.
Whether it is an enemy country or those people in the country who have evil intentions.
Principal Ben's eyes widened. He never expected that the Empress was behind this matter!
"So don't worry, we have everything under control."
Hayden said, "Your Majesty's people are among the students. Today is absolutely safe."
Principal Ben finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment he was confused again.
There are actually people arranged by the empress in the academy!
Who could that be
Hayden saw through his doubts and said with a smile: "Principal, you will know soon..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly let out a light exclamation.
At this moment…
In the college square, the clown thugs pinned the quartet to the ground and tied up everyone.
Cecil and the others had ferocious expressions on their faces and tried to resist and struggle several times, but to no avail.
The other party possessed mental magic, which shook their consciousness in an instant.
As a result, they couldn't even cast magic and immediately lost their combat effectiveness!
The clown leader didn't look at them, but stared at the upstairs and said hoarsely: "The two of you upstairs, is it about time for you to come out? Your companions have been captured!"
Cecil was surprised. He didn't expect that the other party had already discovered them!
As for Tria and the captured teachers and students, they were stunned, because apart from the four members of the Student Union, there should be no one else in the academy who had the ability to rescue them.
"Okay, okay. You actually managed to find us. I have to say that as a group of robbers, you are quite capable. However, I must clarify something to you."
Licinius leaned half of his body out of the broken window and pointed at the four salty fish below: "We are not companions, because I am not as stupid as them."
"Lee, Licinius?"
Tria said blankly with tears on her face.
When he revealed his incomparably handsome face, everyone was first shocked, and then disappointed.
The flame of hope that had been ignited was extinguished in an instant.
Because Licinius was a well-known playboy in the academy, the leader of one of the few aristocratic factions, coupled with his unlearned character and cynical attitude, he was very unpopular.
Apart from that, the biggest label on this person is lust.
It was the first day of school at Nolen, and Li Xini was asked about his hobbies.
