Volume 1: The Poem of Departure Chapter 57: Chase and Escape
It's embarrassing.
Knowing that Richard was not at home, the three-person team still had to run towards the location of Richard's house. In fact, it's not that they think about it, but their way out has been blocked by the guards, and they don't have any guards on the roof to run fast below, and Del Kora, who was targeted and sniped by the guards with a raised staff, can't give full play to the advantages of the magician, and his weak body has become the biggest burden at this moment. The encirclement of the guards is getting tighter and tighter, and there is also the captain of the guards, Thorde, who is in hot pursuit, Satya grabbed Delkora in a hurry, and the three of them jumped directly into the courtyard below-
It happened to be the yard of Richard's house.
They rushed straight into Richard's room and closed the door.
"Listen, people inside! You're surrounded! Lay down your arms and surrender!"
"The people inside listen to ......"
Guards came from all sides and surrounded the courtyard. But because they didn't know if there were any hostages in the room, the guards didn't act rashly, they just kept shouting outside, and then called more guards to surround every corner of the courtyard.
"Ahh
β...... Break the roofs of the houses with magic and fly outβ" Assas made a highly feasible suggestion, "There are no magicians in the guards here, and they can't sense small elemental fluctuations. β
"Break the roof," Del Cora looked at him nonchalantly, "do you know whose home this is?" β
β...... Mr. Richard's house. β
"How dare you destroy that Abyssal Brand's house? If we do, we'll be able to tear up the notice and go back to Casbah City - he's the vice president of the Demon Court of Reims Academy, a tenured professor! I'm going to live under his discipline for the next four years - you're going to let me demolish his house?"
β...... Okay," Remembering the Abyssal Card's reputation and his style of doing things that were not much different from them, Assas actually agreed with him, "So what do we do?" Satya, can your Shadow Space hide the three of us?"
"Theoretically," Satya shrugged, "but I can only hide for half an hour, and the farthest exit from Shadow Space is only within a hundred meters, and living beings can't stay in Shadow Space for too longβI can sneak around, but I think they have a way to detect me now." β
Without the ability to detect stealth, the local guards would have already restricted the profession of assassins, how could they allow so many dangerous elements who can be invisible anytime and anywhere to swagger through the streets.
"One hundred meters...... A hundred meters is a hundred meters, first fool the first wave of guards, come on, hurry up!" Delkora urged.
Outside the hospital.
The mercenary captain Thorde stood at the gate with his sword, and did not hide the smile on his face - this smile was a bit of a big revenge, I don't know, I thought that the people in the courtyard had a big holiday with him.
But it seems to be true. If he hadn't caught the bastard playing magic on the street last night, he wouldn't be so unlucky today. As a result, I ran into another one tonight, and the key is that I caught it, which is very comfortable. Even if the magician inside wasn't the bastard he was last night, he wouldn't mind taking his remaining anger out on the hapless bastard.
After all, who told you to break the rules and cast magic in the streets at night?
"Captain, are they really hiding inside?" a newcomer guard next to him approached and asked suspiciously, "I saw an assassin and a magician in there, will they use their spatial skills to run away?"
"Spatial skills, you think I'm going to be unprepared?" Thorde glanced at the confused recruit and slapped him on the head, "You slept during class, didn't you? Did the guards memorize all of their equipment?"
β...... Hehe, I'll go over there and keep an eye on it, captain, you're wise and martial ......"
The recruit laughed and ran away.
It seems that I didn't attend the class. We must pay close attention to basic education...... Thinking so, he subconsciously looked into the house again.
Spatial skills? Of course, he is not afraid of spatial skills. He had never heard of a guard team that would be afraid that the enemy would have spatial abilities.
"Report to the captain, the insect trap has been prepared!" another guard stepped forward to report, and then whispered with some confusion: "Captain, do you really want to use ......it?"
"If you don't have to do anything, I'll give you actual combat drills," Thorde pouted, "How many times a year can we touch a large machine in a small place like ours? I haven't played it a few times in the past twenty yearsβbut I can say it in advance, if anyone lets the mouse go, I'll practice him to death when I go back!"
"Understood!"
ββββββ
in the room.
"Come on, Satya, God knows when they're going to rush in?" Delkora urged.
"Don't be noisy, I'm communicating with the Shadows...... Damn, what's going on?"
Satya frowned and closed her eyes, the energy of the shadows swirling around him, and the spatial rift slowly opened in front of herβbut suddenly, the surface of the crack twisted and vanished, and Satya gritted her teeth fiercely.
"Damn, the spatial structure here is too stable!what's going on?"
What the?
"Alas, use this and this!" Delkora remembered the flickering ring he used last night, although the high-level flickering magic array engraved on it could not be used for the time being, but the ring itself could weaken the spatial stability around the wearer's body and assist in releasing spatial skills - this thing was thrown into the spatial ring by him before, and he subconsciously reached out and touched it, but it was empty.
"Huh?"
He reached out again to touch it, touched it vigorously, and then grabbed his spatial ring unfaithfully and shook it hardβit was useless.
The core of the space ring is the gem engraved with the spatial rift magic array on the ring, and the wearer only needs to pass the identity verification on the ring to open a space teleportation array, reach in and take out something - the space linked by the magic array is similar to the assassin's shadow space, it does not exist in the explorable world, and it belongs to that ring. The space ring itself is only an intermediary, and its function is to provide a switch that can open the spatial rift for those who do not master the magic of space.
In other words, the spatial ring itself is also a type of spatial skill.
This thing doesn't even work?
"Don't shake, if I'm right...... Damn, they used the Space Blockade Gem!"
β...... Huh?" Delkora was stunned for a moment, then suddenly recalled, "Ahh......h No...... I think that stuff was quite expensive, how could such a small place have such a thing?"
He really didn't expect it, because in his impression, even a low-level space blockade gem would be sold for a high price of more than a dozen gold coins, and that thing could stabilize the space of an area to the greatest extent, greatly increasing the difficulty of space magic casting, and the low-level space blockade gem could basically block the space skills below the silver level, whether it was the magician's flicker or the assassin's shadow space or even various styles of space rings-
But, but, why is there such a thing in this town?
"It's a town β a town under the jurisdiction of Randmont, with its own administrative structure and precincts. We have been despising it. Assas sighed, "Space blockade gemstones are expensive, but that's for individual buyers. As a competent government, there is no problem in equipping the town guards under its jurisdiction with such equipment. β
"That's right. It's a small town, the official borough of Landmont...... I've forgotten that," said Delcora, scratching her head and looking distressed, "and that's the last option...... Can you protect me for five seconds from any interference?"
"As long as they don't use heavy weapons β I don't think they will. β
"That's good. I'll hide behind you, you raise your shield to protect me, and I'll immediately unleash the wind magic to fly into the sky - there are no magicians in this town, and they can't stop us!" Del Cora said confidently.
"I think they must have a plan for this...... "Satya muttered, "but there is no way." β
Yes, there is no way, there are only two plans in front of them now, one is to break the roof and escape, and the other is to rush out and resist for a while and then escape - considering the well-known stinky temper of our saint-level hero, the abyss card, and the great Richard Bryant, the three of them chose the second path without hesitation.
"Okay, listen to my command, three, two, one, rush!"
The door was slammed open, and a fireball burst out of the door and into the air, instantly attracting the attention of the guards, and then Assas stepped out with a large shield, Satya guarding the flanks, and Delcora quickly chanting a spell in the middle.
"Catch them!"
Thorde roared, and several guards who had been preparing for a long time immediately rushed over, but it seemed to be a little late, the wind elemental began to gather, circle, and the interference stones thrown out were all blocked by the great shield of Assas, and before the guards could approach, the air flow and wind had already lifted the three of them, and with a finger of the staff of Delkora, the three of them were about to take off from the encirclement immediately-
However, Thorde just smiled and raised his right hand.
Then, swing it down firmly.
"Put!"
Behind the guards, in the previously darkened streets, Del Cora finally saw the hidden weapons there.
His face stinked immediately.
"Ahββββββββh
Two huge nets with plumb weights hanging from the corners of the guns fired from the swarthy muzzles and pounced at speeds far beyond Delcora's reaction - one of the nets was a little off the corner and missed, but the other directly caught the three men who had not had time to accelerate, and the weight of the plumb weights fell straight with them, and then fell to the ground.
Fortunately, it didn't fly high......
Before landing, Del Kora's mind was full of these words.
"Okay, fly, why don't you fly?"
Captain Thorde crossed his arms, looked at the three people who were struggling in the net, and sneered, "Lao Tzu has been a guard for twenty years, and I haven't seen any battles, I'm afraid that you rats will be handcuffed and taken away!
