Chapter 1081: Assassination
Walk along the river in the city of Englitl, on both sides of which are the most beautiful places in the city.
The Great Library of Henlit, the Church of St. Rastin, the Lord's Mansion, the Twin Rivers Park, the Knights' Bar, and the Adventurers' Guild are all located on both sides of the river.
The city river is a tributary of the Latchenmis, which runs straight through the city of Angle, or to put it another way, the city of Anglitel was originally built next to the river in the city of Angle.
There are a total of 18 kilometers from the south gate to the north gate, and hundreds of bridges of different styles have been built on this not too long 18 kilometers of river.
It's almost like a bridge art museum.
There are wooden plank bridges that are only passable to pedestrians, ordinary flat bridges with thick stone piers, and stone arch bridges that arch slightly upwards and fly like a rainbow over the banks of the city of Anglit.
On this reflection, a bridge can be seen every ten meters. On either side of the river is a wide road where four horse-drawn carriages can pass side by side, and steps are built on both sides of the road for pedestrians.
Merlin now walked on the stone steps near the riverbank. After thinking about it for a while, it seemed that since she was sent to study at the Shui Yun Magic Academy, she had never had the opportunity to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the strait leisurely like this, and she was in a hurry everywhere, as if there was always an invisible whip behind her whipping her.
At first, she was too young to know what beauty was, and when more attention was drawn to the colorful candies, clothes, and strange toys, by the time she could appreciate beauty, there was no time left.
According to tradition, the noble ladies had to ride in a horse-drawn carriage in such a place, even if they wanted to see the scenery, they had to see it in the carriage, and most of the people walking near the river bank were merchants or ordinary commoners, and the ladies had to stay away from these crowds.
While there was no shortage of wizards here, there were very few wizards in the environment, so they were amazed to watch a young beautiful witch walk along the river in the early morning.
Merlin also knew that she was a little conspicuous among these people, and the people around her deliberately kept a certain distance from her, detached and awe-inspiring, thinking of herself as a mysterious creature rather than someone like them...... At least it used to be.
The city of Englitel is foggy all year round, so the wagons here don't run wild, especially along the riverbank, where fast driving is like murder.
Moreover, because of the bad weather conditions, in the morning, the carriages in the city are extremely scarce, you know, the city managers are all nobles, these guys go to bed late and get up late, and they will never work too early, so the lord of the city simply moved the work time back, so that everyone can get their own place, everyone is happy, and the frequent accidents are avoided.
When I was a child, I was at home because my mother died early, and my father was busy with official business at that time, so he had less contact with her, so he developed the habit of sleeping lazy, but after entering the college, he came over and got up earlier than anyone else every day.
Because you can get up early to get a good seat in class, so that you don't have to go to class on an empty stomach for breakfast.
Of course, Merlin didn't come out today to occupy a seat or anything, she just wanted to see how prosperous this city on a different continent is.
When she was about to leave the house, Merlin told the owner of the inn where she was going, and she wondered if the boss who seemed to be unable to wake up all day would forget to tell Jules?
Merlin always sensed that the boss was quite dismissive of her, especially since she refused to let him call a coachman, and insisted on going for a walk by the river alone.
She remembered that the innkeeper's eyes were a wary look, as if he were looking at a liar...... You don't think she's a fake wizard, do you?
Walking through the streets of the city of Henlit, the scenery on both sides was very pleasant, but when Jules arrived, the comfort disappeared.
Originally, she was not interested in shops and the like, but when she heard that there was a large pharmacy in the city, Merlin was eager to take a look, and now, under the leadership of Jules, rushed to the shopping street where the store was located.
However, just as the two were about to go up the stairs, a man suddenly ran out of the store in a panic and bumped into Jules, who was turning his head to introduce Merlin.
Eccentric!
When did a high-level swordsman actually walk unsteadily, and he bumped into the three-pole wizard?
At this moment, she saw a steel needle glowing with blue light between the swordsman's fingers.
Merlin's heart was awe-inspiring, and she pulled Jules to the right without realizing it, and at the same time quickly took out a potion and stuffed it into his hand: "Detoxification! ”
She was too hasty to avoid the point, and although her antidote may not be able to solve all the poisons, it can at least delay the onset of the poison.
"Stop!"
If it wasn't a deliberate murder, Merlin didn't believe anything, and after shoving the antidote into Jules's hand, she didn't hesitate to turn around and throw another potion.
Petrochemical Elixir!
The assailant was so deep in the killer samadhi that he was immediately far away, but his speed was still a step slower - a potion test tube flew from behind him and landed about two feet in front of him.
There was a soft 'snap', the test tube shattered, and immediately a dark green gas suddenly rose, and the swordsman happened to step into the dark green mist, and the knee down quickly turned gray-white...... What a domineering petrochemical potion!
The high-ranking swordsman was frozen there all of a sudden, and his other foot subconsciously stepped forward, and it actually landed in the dark green mist, so the other leg quickly petrified.
The sudden change surprised pedestrians and customers both inside and outside the store, and in a matter of moments, the place was enclosed in a strange appearance. Merlin saw that a thin layer of petrification had also appeared on the swordsman's body, and she turned her head to look at Jules, who was full of pain.
"How?"
"It's okay, the antidote you gave is very useful, it's just ...... It hurts!" said Jules gratefully.
Knowing that the pain was not too much of a problem, she took a look at the wound herself...... The wound had a faint fishy smell, but it was no longer noticeable.
When this kind of thing happened, they naturally became the center of onlookers by the masses. Merlin didn't feel like she was being watched and admired, because the killer rushed out of the store, so the store also took care of it, invited the two into the store to rest, and the petrified guy also carried in.
