Chapter 14: Houtu City

Houtu City is famous for its many earth-based warriors and magicians, and has the world's leading earth-based academy, Houtu Academy. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The earth-based fighting spirit and magic attainments are equally famous here, and some earth-based magicians often come here to exchange experiences. Therefore, it is regarded as a sacred place for earth-based professionals, and countless earth-based professionals are eager to come here. In order to be admitted to the soil department college here, Houtu College.

In the hotel of Thick Earth City, a traveler in leather armor and carrying a battered backpack walked in.

"Boss, bring me some signature food, this is the meal money. ”

He took his wallet out of his pocket and found a few silver coins in his pocket and placed them on the table. After accepting his silver coins, the boss retrieved some copper coins for him.

"Sir, you wait for a while, the meal will take a while to be ready, and I will have someone bring it to you. ”

"Hmm. ”

After finding a place by the window, Leo sat down and waited quietly. However, Leo gradually began to think about his future.

After leaving the village, Leo was still puzzled by his memory, but he remembered what he had heard from the mercenaries when he was an orphan.

"It seems that someone has tampered with my memory with psychic magic. Then, you need to consult those spiritual magicians or go to some places where you have studied spiritual magic. Speaking of places where there is research on spirituality...... , If I'm not mistaken, the best on the continent should be that Demon Martial Academy. ”

"However, what should I do now to enter the Demon Martial Academy?"

While Leo pondered how to enter the Demon Academy to study his memory confusion, a man with a scar on his face and a giant sword on his back walked into the inn with two thieves in leather armor. One of the thieves glanced at the corner of the inn and spotted Leo sitting in the corner.

"Ah...... , Boss, it's him, the kid who sits in the corner by the window. ”

"Hmph, you uncompetitive wastes, you can't beat that kid, so what can a young kid do, he can beat you, probably relying on some enchanted equipment, that is, it's a young master of a big family. However, why would the young master of the big family rob you of your money?"

"Boss, I'm sure he's not the eldest or younger of a big family. ”

"Oh? Why?"

Another thief interrupted the man's thoughts, and the man looked at the thief, ready to hear him explain why.

"Boss, you see, he doesn't have the temperament of the sons of a big family, and he doesn't even have the slightest elegance in his movements, he is probably just a stinky boy with a little strength. ”

"Yes, since he is not a child of a big family, then, you should prepare well, and I will teach him a lesson when he leaves here. How dare you teach my little brother a lesson? I want him to see what happens if he provokes me?"

"Long live the boss!"

"Okay, stop slapping me on the back and get to work. ”

"Yes, Boss. ”

While they were still talking, Leo's meal came up, and he picked up the dishes and chopsticks and began to fill his stomach.

"Looks like he's eating, huh, let's go out and get ready. Hey, you guys, stop looking, let's go. ”

The man saw the two people who were watching Leo eat, and seeing that they were very unproductive, he was angry and stopped them directly.

"Wow,...... Boss, we were wrong. ”

"Let's go. ”

The two turned their heads and looked at the man in front of them in fear.

"Why don't you go quickly?"

"Well, yes, boss. ”

"Well, Boss, let's go. ”

At the man's urging, the two followed the man and walked out of the inn.

"It seems that someone is looking at this, forget it, let's solve the stomach problem first. ”

Leo looked in the direction of the door, and after seeing that no one was there, began to settle the meal in front of him.

"Whew, I haven't had a normal meal in a few days, and the price is really much worse than it was then. It seems that it is necessary to cook for myself in the future, otherwise, I will have to spend a lot of money to eat a meal in the future, and I don't have much money in my hand. But before I do that, I'd better get a job. This money won't last much time. ”

Leo calculates his small amount of money and decides to find a job.

"Hmm...... ,If you want to be a little freer and get money faster.,Is that one?,Mercenary?But I don't have a professional certificate.,It's really troublesome......。 ”

Leo looked at the street outside, stood up, and prepared to go out to find the mercenary association in this city and handle his mercenary status.

As Leo walked out the door, one of the two thieves who had just left ran to report it to the man, and the other followed Leo quietly.

"Is anyone following me......? Let's take a look, it's a big fight here. ”

Leo sensed that something seemed to be following him, and after thinking about it for a while on the road, he decided to change his direction and go to a less crowded alley.

"Hmm, what did he do in the alley, did I find out? Impossible, if it weren't for a detective, he wouldn't have found me so quickly? ”

The thief continued to follow Leo into the alley after marking his companions with his knife on the road.

"Surely, someone is following, and it looks like it's just one person? Hmm? Why did you stop, is there still anyone coming?"

Leo sensed someone not far behind him, and while thinking about how to lure him out, he pretended to stand still, looking like he was searching for something.

"Are you looking for something? I guess the boss is coming soon. ”

The thief leaned over the roof of a house not far behind Leo and watched Leo's every move.

"Hmph, in the alley? It just so happens that it's best to settle this kind of thing in that place. ”

The man noticed the mark that the thief had made along the road, and began to walk towards the alley, followed by another thief.

Not long after, the man led his men, another thief, to the alley.

"Yo, boy, how dare you. ”

Leo saw a man with a giant sword on his back come to him with two thieves who looked like his men, and after blocking Leo one after the other, he seemed to want to show his strength in order to scare Leo.

"What's wrong?"

Leo didn't know him, and he didn't know where he had provoked him.

"What's wrong? You snatched my wallet and still dare not admit it?"

The man said to Leo in a very majestic voice.

"Your ...... Who's under them?"

Leo got a little understood, and it seemed that he was the boss of the man who had robbed him of his wallet while he was on the road.

"You! You snatched all our wallets and said you didn't know us, which is really a deception. ”

A thief poked his head out from behind him and looked at Leo angrily. I wanted to rush forward directly, but I was blocked by the man with one hand.

"Why, Boss!"

"Calm down. ”

"But ....... ”

The thief was a little unconvinced.

"You still don't listen to me, boss. ”

But when he tried to rush forward, the man stopped him.

“…… Listen. ”

"That's good, back off. ”

"Uh-huh....... ”

As the thief retreated, he glared at Leo fiercely.

"Hmm...... I robbed you of your wallets? I robbed quite a few wallets, I don't know which one is yours, you can come and have a look. ”

Leo took out a bunch of wallets from his bag and threw them on the ground, causing a tic-tac-toe to appear on the faces of the man and the two thieves.

"Are you kidding me!"

Manly enough, he pulled out the giant sword behind his back, and directly pointed the tip of the sword in the direction of Leo.

"No, these are all people who want to rob me on the road, since they want to rob me, they naturally have to be prepared to be robbed by me. ”

"That's right, so be prepared to be robbed by me. ”

The man swung his greatsword to deter Leo.

"Really, why don't you be prepared to be robbed by me. ”

Leo looked at the giant sword wielded by the man and smiled easily.

"You guy, are you underestimating me!"

"No, I didn't underestimate you, I just didn't want to fight you, I still have to register the mercenary, if there is blood on my body, the impression will be too bad. ”

Leo didn't underestimate him, but now he was just the man off so that the matter could be resolved a little faster.

"You're ......!"

The man couldn't bear it anymore, so he directly pulled out the giant sword stuck in the ground and swung it at Leo.

"Wind Barrier"

Suddenly, a cyan whirlwind appeared around Leo's body, ricocheting the man's sword away.

"Wind magician? Hmph, do you think it's a professional, it's just a wind system with weak attack power? ”

The man didn't seem to look down on the wind system, and he was relieved to see the wind magic Leo use.

"Really? Let's take a look at the combat power of the wind system. ”

Leo made a small leap backwards and jumped to the middle of the alley. Seeing Leo retreating, the man followed him closely, not seemingly thinking that this would be a trap.

"Wind Blade: Multi-Burst"

As the man approached Leo, Leo used his wind magic. Immediately, several magic arrays appeared around him, and after a burst of light, many wind blades appeared in front of Leo.

"This is what you said about the combat effectiveness of the wind system? I'm sorry, but I'm a warrior of the fire system, and the wind system just happened to be restrained by me. ”

Although the man was a little surprised that he was ambushed, the man did not seem to be in a hurry. Immediately, when the wind blade was about to hit the man's body, a layer of flame fighting qi suddenly appeared on the man's body, the color was dark red, and it seemed that he was a sixth-order fire-type warrior. The restraint of the fire fighting spirit against the wind resisted Leo's magic.

Then, the man attached his fire-based fighting qi to the sword, and wiped out the wind blades in front of him one by one with his sword. Looking at Leo, the man just stood still, carrying his greatsword, as if to say to Leo, "See what else you can do".

"Sure enough, you can't just use the wind blade. So, look closer, this is my own trick. ”

"Arrow of the Wind"

Leo saw that he underestimated himself, and he looked very relaxed. I'm going to use the trick that I'm still experimenting with in my head.,Use him as an experiment.。

So, Leo gathered some wind elements, and slowly, condensed the wind elements into the form of arrows. Since the arrows themselves are made up of wind elements, most of them have no obvious color. So, the man didn't notice the arrows around Leo.

"What....... ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a blue light shot from Leo's side, piercing his arm. After the cyan light faded, a finger-sized wound appeared on the man's arm. The man suddenly clutched his bleeding arm, realizing that the person in front of him was probably a powerful wind magician. So, pretending to be surprised, he looked at Leo in front of him, intending to look for a chance to win.

"It's ...... What magic?"

"Magic? Well, not magic, to be exact, it's just a little trick. ”

Leo looked at the results of his experiment, and was not very satisfied, and the condensation time was a bit long. If you can't condense the shape quickly, you will probably lose in some fast-changing battles.

"How is it possible, it doesn't take magic to do this. Don't lie to me, it's sure to be magic. What kind of person are you to be able to use this level of magic!"

The man covered the bleeding wound on his arm, took a few steps back, and turned around.

"What are you two still watching, come and help your boss. ”

"Yes......!"

Although the two thieves were a little shocked when they saw the battle between the two of them, after hearing the man's words, they hurriedly picked up their weapons and rushed towards Leo, and they were greeted by a pile of wind blades.

"Uhh

"Ahh

The two thieves couldn't dodge in this small space at all, and directly ate the dense group of wind blades head-on, suffering more than a dozen wounds on their bodies, large and small, and their clothes stained red with blood.

"You two, it's okay! Damn it! I'm going to stop him, you run. ”

The man picked up his greatsword and blocked the remaining blade of wind in front of the two of them.

"Boss!"

"Run, are you trying to hold back here?"

The man yelled at the two, causing them to be stunned for a moment.

"Hmm, boss...... , you have to run fast, too. ”

“…… , Boss, you must escape. ”

The two also knew that they were just getting in the way here, and after glancing at the man, they turned and fled.

“……。 ”

The man stared at Leo tightly, paying attention to Leo's every move. He knew that the magician in front of him hadn't used all his strength yet.

"Alas...... Why do you bother? I didn't want to do it to you in the first place, but you started to do it first, so why did I do it like a bad person. ”

Leo spread his hands and looked at the man helplessly. He didn't want to kill them all, he just wanted to deter these people, lest one "boss" after another come to trouble him. Unexpectedly, I seem to have become a bad person now.

"Look at the move!"

"Combat Skill: Flame Slash!"

The man took advantage of Leo's spread his hands to gather all the fiery red fighting qi on his body on the sword, and then with all his strength, he swung out a crimson sword qi and rushed towards Leo.

"Wind Arrow: Multi-Burst"

Leo, who noticed this crimson sword aura, immediately counterattacked with the remaining blue light just now, but because this time, he fired arrows one after another. Therefore, this time the blue light was like a line, flying towards the middle of the sword qi, the place that seemed to be the most powerful of the sword qi.

Just when these two rays of light were about to meet, I saw that two hands suddenly appeared, grabbed the two rays of light that were about to meet, and neutralized these two rays of light. Then a figure appeared, in the place where the explosion was supposed to occur.

"Hmph, two stinky boys, dare to make trouble in this city, don't you want to live anymore!"
