Chapter 53: The Night of Sin
As the leader of a faction, no matter what the situation, you must maintain an attitude of not being surprised, especially in front of your subordinates. In addition to maintaining the image, the more important point is to make the people below feel more at ease. At the moment of the great enemy, if the subordinates see the confident appearance of the head of the family, they will be more confident in the battle.
The Welsh inherited the family for more than twenty years, and in addition to the continuous progress in passing on magic, the concept of running the entire family has also improved, especially in the era when the empire ruled the continent. His only son, Boris, was raised as an heir from an early age and often helped Wales with some practical matters, so he was responsible for provoking conflicts between Charles and Lin Qian.
The first mission the Magic Guild received was interfered with, and it was planned by Boris to blame the Charles family, which, of course, was agreed upon by Wales. There are also reasons why Lin Qian participated in the struggle between the two families, and he also thanked Charles for giving him this opportunity.
Night, finally came on time. Since there is no night market in this world, the entire blue city is black, and there is only one street where lanterns are lit, and business is gradually booming. Later generations have the term "Tianjingsha", which is simply put:
Red-red-green-green clothes,
oily powder face,
Thick layers of camouflage.
At the beginning of the lanterns,
Where is the shame and shame?
This kind of entertainment built to attract men was destined to be built on the very edge of the city, where it was most lively at night, but it did not correspond to the whole atmosphere of the Blue City, and was isolated from the sight of most people. It was from here that the first shots were fired throughout the bloody night.
Charles received information that Boris went to "have fun" with an unhealed injury!
If you want to destroy a family, you must destroy everyone who is qualified to inherit the family. The Welsh family is only qualified for Wales and Boris, and Wales is already under scrutiny, and it will be impossible to escape from the city tonight anyway. Charles knew this, so he immediately led people to surround the entire street, aiming at Boris.
"Uncle, inside—you are ......" A young woman with heavy makeup was about to solicit customers inside, but saw a group of magicians behind this person, each of whom did not look like they were looking for fun.
"I ask you," Charles asked angrily, "did the young master of the Welsh family go in just now?"
"Yes...... I just went in for a while. The young woman was a little flustered, as if she was frightened by the group.
"Where is he, take me there!" Charles ordered.
The young woman had a spring in her eyes, and replied with an unhurried smile: "It's not easy to find, I have too many girls, and I don't know which one Boris has chosen." ”
Charles silently endured this woman who saw money, and knew that it was not appropriate to mess around with her at this time, so he took out a golden ticket from his chest, handed it over without looking at it, and was snatched by the woman.
"I'll take you there! He's on the top floor. "It's different when you have money, and the young woman's attitude is not good.
There are a lot of rooms inside, and they can be considered luxurious. The young woman walked in front, like a water snake, as if she could not walk without twisting her waist from side to side.
"It's here. Please!" The young woman knew that what was going to happen next would not be too pretty, and walked away with a smile. She got a lot of money, which should be used to compensate her for the next losses.
Two of Boris's men were silently killed outside the door, and Charles walked outside the door and kicked it open.
There was something unusual about the scene inside, and Charles didn't have any of the poses he imagined, because it was only Boris alone — and a corpse — inside.
The poor girl died unheeded, and Charles immediately noticed that something was wrong: "You're not Boris! ”
"Boris" stood up and opened his arms as if to meet death, and then his whole body suddenly burst into a fire that quickly exploded.
Charles immediately opened his defensive magic and blocked all the flames, but the roof of the room was directly lifted off and flew into the sky like fireworks.
Waving his hand to extinguish the flames from the explosion, Charles walked downstairs without saying a word, without looking at the panicked ** crowd in the building, and ran directly to the location of the Welsh family.
That's how Charles could explain it, but what was Wales' purpose?
"Young Master Lin. Charles arrived at the agreed place and met Lin Qian, who had arrived early.
"Patriarch Charles, why did you arrive so late? Did something happen?" Lin Qian was also strange, Charles shouldn't be late at this critical time.
"It's okay, let's get moving!" Charles couldn't say that he had been deceived, so he could only cover up the past and hurry away.
Lin Qian was a little puzzled, and when he saw a small attendant behind Charles, he hurriedly called over and asked, "Where did your family master go just now?"
"Brothel. The little attendant replied in a low voice and truthfully.
"I'm going!" Lin Qian misunderstood unsurprisingly, this guy still had the heart to do that, but for a virgin like Lin Qian, that thing was also very curious.
The Welsh family's mansion is not small, but after tonight, it remains to be seen how much of this mansion will survive.
Because of a small loss, Charles was faintly uneasy in his heart, so he didn't drag his feet at all, and directly led people to blast open the gate and break into the courtyard.
Wales and all the magicians of the whole family stood in the courtyard, as if they had been waiting for a long time. It is difficult for the family members to form a force, so each family will hire many mages from the outside world to live on a permanent basis, and this employment is almost permanent. At the moment of the great enemy, Wales has summoned all the magicians with combat effectiveness, and this strength is enough to inflict heavy damage on the enemy, if not to win.
"Charles, you're finally here!" Welsh looked at his long-time rival standing in front of him, and he was a little emotional.
"Wales, you have to pay for what you did!" Charles remembered his dead eldest son, and immediately hated the man in front of him.
Although the three brothers of Nanyang are the murderers who did it directly, all this was planned by Wales, and he is the biggest executioner.
"I'm curious, how do you know?" said Wales, as if chatting about family matters, without the slightest hint of nervousness.
"Don't talk nonsense, do you think you admit it or not?" Charles noticed that Wales seemed to be wasting his time, and did not give him extra chance to speak.
"Looks like I can only admit it. Wales had a relaxed attitude, unconcerned about Charles' murderous gaze.
"That's good, give it to me!" Charles waved his hand, and the magicians under his command chanted the spell together, and suddenly the sky was filled with magical light, as if to light up the night.
Magical energy of various colors flew towards the group of magicians in the courtyard in a specific form, and then encountered a transparent barrier in the middle, and immediately turned around and ran towards the magicians who cast spells.
Wales didn't sit still, he had already laid out a defensive enchantment, a magical secret left by his family's ancestors - the rebound enchantment.
All magic, as long as it is the energy that this enchantment can bear, will turn around and bounce back when it touches this enchantment. Those magicians who cast spells will not get any benefits, they will only reap the consequences.
Of course, this kind of enchantment is not invincible, and its endurance is a little more fragile than that of a normal defensive enchantment, because it also has to perform the function of rebounding. The same amount of magic crystals releases the same amount of energy, and in order to rebound back the magic, it takes much more energy than just defending.
Charles immediately sensed that something was wrong, and waved his hand to unleash a large protective magic - flame evaporation. A layer of fire shrouded his own team of magicians, burning and vaporizing all the magic that rebounded back, which saved the lives of some magicians.
Blind defense obviously does not achieve the goal of victory. Taking advantage of this gap, Wales immediately withdrew the rebound enchantment and led the magicians to launch a wave of attacks.
As soon as they fought each other, Charles suffered a loss, which made him angry and annoyed. It was originally a battle that was won steadily, but now it has developed like this, which has long exceeded his expectations, and only then did he realize that he had another helper-Lin Qian's Magic Guild.
Lin Qian had already stood on the high platform and looked down on the situation in the courtyard, this was a floating high platform temporarily built by several wind magicians, and it was more than enough to withstand Lin Qian and the Ice Plains.
"Attack, Charles' side needs help. Lin Qian saw the situation inside, turned around and ordered.
The Ice Plains Scattered Man jumped straight down, and then dragged himself steadily to the ground with the current, his mastery of water magic was not far behind that of Lambert.
"Blasting the courtyard wall open, and be careful not to hurt your own people. "The Ice Plains scattered people to send a message to the mages on the ground, and immediately several dark mages began to release the dark purification.
The entire courtyard wall was directly annihilated, and the battle situation inside was directly presented to everyone.
The new entrant was obviously expected by Wales, and he had long been prepared for a sneak attack from the flank, mobilizing a group of magicians to guard in front of the disappearing courtyard wall, and the entire formation was not panicked at all.
The scene of the magic group battle is the first time Lin Qian has seen it, the two sides come and go, and it is difficult to decide the winner in a short period of time, unless the magician of one side cannot support it.
This is a war of attrition, and the strength of an individual is of little value in this kind of battle scene. Even Charles's Dacheng strength could not directly kill one of the opponent's eighth-level magicians, because the opponent's formation was neat and could be resisted by using magic jointly.
Lin Qian stood boredly on the high platform and watched the people below fight. He searched the crowd carefully, but didn't seem to find it.
Boris! He wasn't even here! Lin Qian immediately realized Wales' plan - to give up the car to protect the commander.
Boris, where is he now? He was riding a dark beast, abandoning all his family and dragging his wounded body into the distance on this sinful night.
