Section 91 Ranger 8
She strolled over to the mound. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoUnexpectedly, there is a slope on the edge of the mound that people can walk up to. If you go up to it, you will probably be a very conspicuous target.
However, there was no one around.
In this state, the vision is very good. As mentioned earlier, in a large area, there is not even a little shelter. Camouflage uniforms and the like didn't work for her, and she believed that if she couldn't see others, then they wouldn't see her either.
It feels like a trap, but it doesn't feel like a trap. The marker on the map did not indicate the exact time, which meant that the time of the meeting was the more lenient one. It doesn't matter if it's early or late, you may not even need to meet, just drop a letter somewhere.
Speaking of which, she believed that at this moment, Lu Wu was still in the refugee camp and had not yet set off.
In any case, meeting in such a place is in itself suspicious. If it's someone from Huiyue's camp, who needs to sneakily meet in this place? Just go to Gasha City and ask to see Lu Wu.
It's funny. Now she's starting to believe that the accusation was an accident...... It should have been an accident, not aimed at her, at most it was only to the extent that it affected the pond fish. Of course, even if it was an accident, since she came, it was her responsibility to investigate this matter clearly. This is especially true in the case of Stygian Moon and Kecha Goyat (when the Bald Man died, there should have been a Warlock from the Stygian Moon present, and it was she who killed the Bald Head, or used his terminal to send a fake message after the Bald Head died).
She doesn't worry about her safety. As she herself said, if Stygian could kill her here, then they would have achieved the best results they could get for the next hundred years. It's her pride, but it's also her self-confidence. She possessed a gift that was rare even among warlocks - not only strength, but also brains. Yes, she was a scholar, but she was more than just a scholar. In fact, as many people know, she has blazed a new trail in areas that everyone thought had no potential to be tapped. And she's still so young, as long as she's given enough time, who knows what kind of achievements she'll make?
She believed that no warlock could pose a threat to her in this place. Not to mention that there is nothing around at the moment, even if there is an entire army of warlocks of the Stygian Moon preparing for battle at this time, she is confident that she can come and leave whenever she wants.
But, even with her mind, she couldn't figure out what the Moon was trying to do. Wouldn't it be better to set up a puppet to be the governor of the Banshee Gate? Ha, if they had that spare time, they might as well simply knock down the Banshee Gate themselves. As for internal spies and whatever, it's even more stupid - when will ordinary people (who mean neither warlocks nor nobles) be able to occupy a key position in a society dominated by warlocks? Even if they go to great lengths to make Lu Wu a governor, the rewards they can get are not proportional to the effort, not to mention the risks involved.
She walked up to the center of the mound. There, there is a small, apparently man-made stone mound. In the middle of the stone pier is a groove that seems to contain something.
Then, as she walked towards the rock, a strange impact suddenly came from the back of her head. The incredible force struck her, and a vibration of the air quickly engulfed everything.
The Warlock of the Stygian Moon appears from above the sky.
From the beginning, he was here, patiently and cautiously waiting. He wasn't as far away as others expected, in fact, he was above the sky, very close to the top of the mound. Almost all people make this mistake - it is the nature of the people of the ground to always focus all their attention on the ground when they look around, and only a few glances at the sky and skip it.
It's a biologically instinctive, ingrained habit. But it's something that can be used.
This ambush is not really tight, and it is not really invulnerable. The electromagnetic cannon in his hand is the most common type, but it is covered with a discoloring film. If he was standing on the ground, then it was estimated that the probability of being detected was very high - when the warlock used the magic of the fourth law, his vision was so amazing that even a telescope could not reach it, and if there were no obstacles, he could even see a bug within the limit of his visual range. He is the same himself, although he can achieve invisibility, but doing so consumes his mana. Of course, it's fine when running for a short distance or sneaking, but if he stays in one place for a long time, he can't stand it himself.
However, these are all overconsiderations. In this battle of reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, he won. The guys at Huiyue are stupid, but then again, they're always stupid.
In the sky, a warlock flying with an anti-gravity backpack slowly circles and lands. Out of caution, his gaze remained fixed on the motionless body on the ground. But by the time he put his feet on the ground, he was sure he had succeeded.
Is it dead? He looked at the fallen body on the ground. Compared to the art of concealment, he is less confident in his shooting ability. It should have been shot in the head...... Maybe it's the shoulders and neck, or maybe it's the top of the head or something. But this is the electromagnetic cannon, the most powerful weapon for individual combat. Basically, for any machine, fortification, or equipment, it's a one-shot effect. For those without armor, it is even more terrifying. Not to mention a head-on hit, even if it is bumped - not even bumped, just a close distance to wipe it will have a lethal effect of not killing but also seriously injuring.
This one...... It must have been the warlock who was brought in by the man named Lu Wu, and it was a simple matter to lure Huiyue's fools over - because he knew that there was such a strange mercenary system in Huiyue's camp. Anyone who pays enough money can hire a warlock to do things. What a ridiculous thing, isn't it?
But that Lu Wu is not bad, maybe he can threaten again after a while, forcing him to find another warlock. Hehe, everything went unexpectedly smoothly. As soon as he thought that this method was feasible, his heart couldn't help but burn up. Yes, since he mastered the mystery of "devouring", he has not had a chance to use it. In fact, if this magic causes a wave of change, it is mainly in the form of an undercurrent, not a superficial wave. On the face of it, it didn't have any serious consequences. In fact, with the exception of a few Forerunners who had mastered the magic in secret ahead of time and could have prioritized what others had done without anyone else knowing, everyone else either needed to have a reckless companion who didn't care so much about their own safety, or they had to be favored by the heavens to survive some devastating battlefield of defeat.
Otherwise, the chances of using "devouring" are far less than imagined. Nobody is a fool, is there? Not to mention, the upper echelons of the Stygian Moon have become very sensitive to the death of a warlock, and it is not the case of the past that can be prevaricated by writing a report.
These thoughts flashed through my mind. But no matter what orders the Stygian higher-ups are issuing now, at least one thing is certain. That is, there will only be a reward for killing a Radiant Moon Warlock, and there will be no punishment. Now it's his turn to harvest. He calmed down and felt the power around him...... If that theory is fought, then when a warlock dies, his power will be exposed to the void, and at this time, he will be able to use his own magic source to attract, or swallow a part of it......
Wait, no fluctuations in mana? There was no wave in the air all around, nothing at all.
He froze and looked at the corpse lying on the ground not far away. He was carried away by all kinds of nervous thoughts just now, and only now did he realize that it was a woman. The other side was wearing a suit that was barely seen in the area - it might be beautiful, but at first glance it was clear that it was not suitable for combat. Wait, why would a warlock who came on a mission wear such clothes?
This is completely unreasonable. No matter what kind of false information Lu Wu provides, he can definitely only hire a warlock in the form of a hire, that is to say, this warlock should be doing it as a mercenary task, and it is a hire-nailing task with a certain risk. And this dress only says one thing.
Damn, this isn't a warlock at all!
An unspeakable fury filled his chest. He waited patiently here all day, then cautiously, frightened, and held his breath, only to realize that the target of his attack was not a warlock, but an ordinary person, let alone a woman.
I see...... Someone to prevaricate me?hah! Yes, those stupid humans always thought they could play some little tricks! In a fit of rage, he kicked the ground with a furious roar from his distorted countenance. That guy named Lu Wu has to pay the price......
The corpse on the ground moved.
His movements stopped, his glare resting on the presumably dead corpse, watching as the corpse rolled over and sat up, dusting off the dust with his hands.
"Woo...... Bad luck......" The woman brushed her hair, red blood oozing from between her fingers, dyeing a small side of her hair red. Her face was also stained with a lot of blood and mud, which turned her original amorous into a strange hideousness. "I was actually hit by a railgun......
Her wounds were revealed as soon as her hair was lifted. That's just the place between the eyebrows, slightly upward. In this position, there was a wound that was not very large, and the skin of the wound was open, and it was from here that blood flowed out, staining the hair and face on the side. But anyone can see that this injury is far from fatal. If you are unaware, you will even think that she was hit by a stone, or that she fell on something sharp, which caused such a wound.
But...... It's impossible. He watched as the woman reached out and gently pulled the bullet out of the wound - the bullet of the electromagnetic cannon was not very large - and threw it to the ground.
Fears of unimaginable snatched his soul. In the legends of the Warlocks, there are indeed high-ranking Warlocks who are so powerful that they can ignore any technological weapon. But that's just a legend. Perhaps the dignitaries of the town guards, or the leaders of expeditions on covert and special missions, would have such abilities, but at least he had never seen them.
No, it can't be! Deceitful! It must be deceitful! He denied this possibility in the realm of thought. In front of him was a powerful high-level warlock?! It must have been the other party who had already noticed it and dodged this cannon. Thankfully, during his landing, he had reloaded the cannon. At this moment, he raised the electromagnetic cannon and aimed it at the humanoid creature in front of him, but his body was shaking violently, so that he could not aim the muzzle of the cannon at the other party.
"What, it turned out to be a ranger ......" The fake scholar lady saw the identity of the other party at a glance. She didn't even care about the weapon in the other person's hand. "Congratulations, little cub of the Moon!" the corners of her mouth opened in a cruel arc, revealing a mouthful of white, neat teeth, a movement accompanied by the blood that had been left on her forehead, and it had a terrifying evil smell. "You've completely my mother!"
