Chapter 9: Under Siege
Located in the southern part of the Morrowind Kingdom, White Moon City has no wide, clean streets, no elegant silver-bottomed fountains, only low, neat spired houses, and laurel trees dotted around the city. So the towering magic tower in the center of the town has become the only symbol of this southern town.
On weekdays, the tower, which is adjacent to the Mage's Guild, is rarely populated. But tonight is different. Just when the moon was in the middle of the sky and the city was silent, the vice president of the White Moon City Mage Guild carried an oil lamp and stepped step by step on the spiral staircase leading to the top of the tower. Behind him, three black shadows followed closely, surprisingly not making a sound.
"Three adults, please see, this is the evidence that our informant found yesterday. ”
One of the dark shadows looked through the light and saw two strange objects on the table in front of him. On the left is a charred arm bone, and the end of the palm is missing a piece of the index finger, which looks awkward. The other is a small iron tag. The front of the sign reads the word "night" in Elven language, and on the back is a dark crescent moon, which is depressing.
The dark shadow looked at it from a distance for a moment, then nodded in confirmation, "Yes, these objects are indeed from the two of them!Where did you find them?"
The vice president reported truthfully: "There is a small mercenary group entrenched in the redstone forest south of the city. At the same time, we also found that a purple star flower that was originally placed in the underground secret room was also secretly plucked!"
Hearing this, the other black shadow snorted coldly: "That's right! That little slut didn't hesitate to take the risk of sneaking out of the royal capital in order to find a way to cure her mother's illness, and after seeing the Purple Star Flower here, it was reasonable to take the treasure." It's just that I don't understand, how could a guy as powerful as Steelbone die in their hands?"
The third dark shadow sounded like the head of the first two, and when he heard this, he muttered, "Now is not the time to dwell on that kind of thing. The broken blade resembles scrap metal. We have only two goals at the moment: first, find and kill Princess Lena. Second, find the Dragon's Spine Blood Thorn!
The vice president knew that he was talking about Lina, and quickly added, "That little slut and her men have never been back since they left. Even that little girl was taken away by the damned Guild Trustee four days ago!
The third black shadow sneered: "Running away, where can they run away? Since they didn't return to White Moon City, they just saw through Carter's pig ambush and made a detour to Holly Town! It won't be long before we can catch up with them." ”
As soon as the words fell, the last two black shadows disappeared one after another, and the first black shadow took out a black iron box from his arms and threw it to the vice president: "Take it, this is the reward you deserve!"
The vice president happily caught the iron box and hurriedly opened the lid. Suddenly, a lightning-fast black shadow flashed away, biting his throat. It was a black serpent that was extremely venomous. And death is the only reward left to him by these three black shadows.
At the same time, in the room on the second floor of the only hotel in Holly Town. Luo Ning suddenly felt a pain on his face and was woken up by a slap in the face. He had only killed a few first-order demonic beasts on the road in the past few days, and he hadn't gotten half a skill point, so he was already depressed, but now he was disturbed by someone's dreams, and his heart was even more unhappy. When he was about to get angry, he was pressed to his mouth by a soft little hand: "Silence, we are surrounded!"
It was the magic bell that spoke. For some reason, there was a hint of exhaustion in her voice.
"Who are they?those assassins' accomplices?" Luo Ning wanted to cry without tears, shouting in his heart that he didn't play like this! Doesn't it mean that the other world will definitely give the traverser a chance to breathe and level up?
"Carter's fat pig! And don't try to break in. He drugged our food. Although it is not lethal, it is also difficult to detect. Now the magic bell and I are only at the level of an intermediate mage and an ultimate assassin. We don't have many people, so we can't deal with them at all!"
Luo Ning got out of bed and walked to the window, lifted a small crack slightly, and sure enough, he saw more than a dozen black shadows on horses standing downstairs. Some of them wield swords, some draw bows, and some hold staves, ready to cast spells.
She refused to give up, "You can't use that dragon's spine blood stab?"
The Magic Bell nodded, his face full of helplessness, and then pointed to the doorway on the other side.
"There's one over there?" Luo Ning was about to go crazy, and said that it was obviously not written in the previous online article? Why is the IQ of this roadside monster so high?
Lena whispered, "The man at the door is waiting for Carter's fat pig to come up." We're running out of time. Tell me honestly, how many magic scrolls do you still have in your hand, and what are they?"
Luo Ning knew that although this princess had the experience of being scared to cry by steel bones, but in general it was quite reliable, so he replied truthfully: "I have used two in the past few days, and there are six left." They are two Blinding Spells, two Vine Twists, one Greasy Spell, and one Fire Armor Spell. After midnight, I'll be able to make two more. ”
Princess Lena pondered for a moment when she heard this, and asked, "Can your bronze warrior monk share his vision with you?"
Luo Ning recalled and nodded, "Of course! ”
Princess Lena took out a small bottle of potion: "Take it, drink it when you feel that your magic is exhausted." ”
Luo Ning wanted to cry without tears, and said in his heart that people are really angry with people than people. He rummaged through another Luo Ning's memory, and he had never seen this kind of potion that replenished his magic power, and Lena was worthy of being the princess of the kingdom, and she could take it out and give it away.
When he was sighing, he saw the magic bell climb up to the beam of the house in two or two, and silently slashed above with the blood of the dragon's back, and listened to Princess Lina's command: "Okay, wait a minute, you will release the bronze warrior monk, rush out from the roof near the window to meet the enemy, and tell me if there is an ambush on the roof." It doesn't matter how many enemies it takes, as long as it gets their attention. At the same time, the magic bell will carry Wendy on his back and go first. When the door is slammed open, the two of us will simultaneously unleash blinding spells and vine entanglements to block their first wave of attacks, and then you will rush up and run away with me!
"Escape from the roof?" Ronin thought for a moment, it was indeed a good idea when he didn't know how many enemies there were outside. After all, there is nothing else in Holly Town, but there are many houses, one next to the other, and the roofs are naturally very close. Escaping from the roof is not a good solution.
He summoned the Bronze Warrior Monk as instructed. I heard Lena shout quietly: "It's now!" Luo Ning hurriedly gave an order, allowing the warrior monk to break through the roof and fall to the ground, standing sideways with a stick in one hand and counting on his chest with the other, with a solemn expression and an extraordinary bearing.
"There's no one on the roof!" Ronin reported. At the same time, the magic bell had already picked up Wendy, who was nervous, before there was a commotion at the door, pushed away the broken roof, and jumped up with Wendy on his back.
Luo Ning was not idle with him, and took out the scroll and handed it to Lena.
After a few seconds, the other party began to force the door as Lena had guessed.
One hit, two hits, and after a short pause, there was a third blow that was more violent and smashed the door directly!
"It's now!"
As soon as Lina's words fell, the two of them opened the magic scroll in their hands at the same time. The first few warriors who rushed into the house immediately fell into the chaos darkness and became overwhelmed.
"It's magic! Mage, dispel the spell!"
"Oh no, we're trapped by vines!
"My wand, my wand has dropped, help me pick it up!!"
"Master Carter, oh no, those two little ones are running to the roof!"
......
Originally, the people who wanted to catch turtles in the urn were suddenly disrupted by these two magic scrolls. At this time, Luo Ning had already jumped on the roof with Lena in his arms and ran out of the city with the magic bell. The group of people standing on the ground wanted to chase after them on horseback, but they were blocked by the bronze warrior monk. Without waiting for Carter's subordinates to make a move, the steps of the soles of the bronze warrior monk's feet changed again and again, like stars in the sky, and with the copper tendons and iron bones of his body as the rotating shaft, a bronze stick with eyebrows danced impermeable to the wind and water, and made a whining sound. But anyone who dared to rush forward on a horse was all broken by this powerful bronze monk, causing people to turn over on their backs.
These people are used to being idle in White Moon City on weekdays, and they don't have any combat experience, otherwise they only need to divide their troops into two ways and order a few people to be bait, and the rest of them can take the opportunity to get past the bronze puppet's block. In the end, it was a few mages who were in a hurry and released the greasy spell on the ground to let everyone pass. But this delay, Luo Ning and the four of them had already run away.
Outside Holly Town, Luo Ning'er heard no more chasing sounds behind him, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, put Princess Lena down, and rested under a big tree: "Lena, you are so powerful! You can find a way to drag them down in such a short time!"
Lena handed the water bag to the magic bell and chuckled, "How can I have such a great ability." Just now, it was pure luck, and it was just a gamble on the right strategy! Luck is the most unreliable, and it will be difficult to say next time it doesn't work!"
Before the smile on her face dissipated, she saw a circle of torches lit up around her, and two sword and shield warriors in black armor walked out one after the other, and said with a strange smile: "The little girl is still a little self-aware! Yes, this time you fell into the hands of our brothers, no matter how lucky you are, it will be difficult to fly, haha!"
