Chapter 21: The Time of War
With the heads of his former hands rolling under his feet and a blood-stained dagger around his neck, in Jinli's impression, only the experience of encountering a sneak attack by a demon wanderer near the Great Crack three years ago can be compared to this time.
Jinli closed his eyes and took a deep breath, suppressing the urge in his body to tremble. He first ordered the surviving warriors not to move, and then asked in a tone as calm as possible: "Mr. Kane, although the Dragon Head Chamber of Commerce has received a lot of goods this time, the Night Demon has always been in the style of most likely not to commit such a bandit. I'm afraid the real target of your coming to Maple Leaf Town this time is not us, right?"
"You're smart, Mr. Kinley!" Kane walked across from him, but no matter how he moved, the dagger remained clinging to Kinley's neck like a magnet attached to a piece of iron.
"Yes, the Wind Warrior and the Elven slave girl mean nothing to us. Not to mention that Star and Moon Stone!Hmph, I'm afraid that even the Dark Lian Crystal that was taken away later is more precious than it!"
"Dark Crystals? But it doesn't matter anymore!The only thing I'm curious about now is: what kind of important person could invite an assassin of your level to go there in person? Could it be the Morrowind King? Ha, how is this possible? ”
Jinli smiled as easily as possible, but he didn't know that this deliberate change was a symbol of tension in itself!
"Not the Morrowind King, but it's about the same! ”
"Princess Lena?!...... So that's it!" Jin Li was familiar with the current situation in the royal capital, so he guessed the ins and outs of the matter with just a few words.
Kane looked at Luo Ning intentionally or unintentionally: "It wasn't me who came to carry out the mission, but Cyborg! It's a pity that a strange kid suddenly appeared next to Princess Lina, and he killed Steelbone by mistake, so I was ordered to go!"
Luo Ning hid aside, and was also taken aback when he heard them mention himself.
Jin Li smiled bitterly: "The strange boy in your mouth, shouldn't it be called Ronin Campbell?"
"You know him, too?" said Kane. He originally came for the magic bell, but he didn't expect that so many things were related to Luo Ning.
"Learn to forge in half a day, advance to intermediate blacksmith in three days, master enchantment in nine days, such an amazing genius, how could I not know him......?
Luo Ning was hiding in a stealth state, knowing that Jinli couldn't see himself, and the praise just now was really sincere and unpretentious, which made him feel extremely comfortable. But the second half of Kinley's words made him calm down quickly.
"No, we can't let him know about Wendy! if something happens to us, at least Wendy will be able to escape on her own!"
Luo Ning was about to intervene to stop Jinli from continuing, but suddenly heard a shout. A black figure pinching two human heads stood on the wheels of the carriage in front of it, staring at Jinli and Kane without blinking.
"Mr. Kane, something is wrong! That elf slave girl is gone! I didn't even ask for the whereabouts of the two attendants who killed them, it seems that even they don't know!"
Luo Ning's eyes froze, and he suddenly remembered Lina's evaluation of the slave girl: "It's not that I'm stingy and refuse to rescue her, but that child's strength is even above you and me, and that iron chain is simply an ornament." If she wanted to leave, she would have fled now...... "Now it seems that this elven girl is really not simple.
"Hey, what are you thinking!" At this moment, the voice of the magic bell suddenly sounded. As a high-level assassin, although she couldn't see Luo Ning in stealth, she could accurately find the general direction.
"Magic Bell?" Luo Ning asked quietly.
"That's right, it's not just me, Princess Lena and your puppet are behind. Wendy was asked to pass by the Blue Bird, so you can rest assured. ”
"Passing by by accident?" After the experience of the night the blacksmith shop was attacked, Rond would rather not believe that there could be such a coincidence.
Before the magic bell could answer, a short roar and scream suddenly sounded not far from the two.
It turned out that the Daredevil Assassin's brutal killing of the attendants of the Dragonhead Chamber of Commerce had finally angered the five surviving warriors. The big sword warrior led by him clenched his fists, and the muscles of his body suddenly swelled, and the iron armor on the skin was creaked. The pale yellow color of the fighting qi surrounded every corner of his body layer by layer, making his strength instantly increase a lot. Although the other two sword and shield warriors were not exaggerated, their arms and weapons were also smeared with a fighting light. They roared and rushed forward, attacking the Daredevil Assassin in his form.
Unfortunately, what happened not long ago happened again, and the light mist suddenly lifted, and the assassin went into stealth again.
But this time, the enraged greatsword warrior refused to give up. Seeing the enemy disappear and slash downward, he staggered his feet and turned into a whirlwind of blades, making the big sword spin rapidly with his body, which was the signature skill of a high-level warrior - Whirlwind Slash!
"Hoo ——"
The heavy greatsword burst out with incredible power, slashing at the Daredevil Assassin before he could get out of range, forcing him to pull out a second dagger and fend off the sword with his hands crossed over his chest.
With a clink, the Daredevil Assassin's body flew back like a cannonball, and the person was detached from his stealth state.
Kane on the side looked at all this coldly, and chuckled lightly: "What a fool, he obviously has such a strong fighting energy, but he still scatters them into his arms." In this lesson, let's pay with your lives!" Before he finished speaking, Kane gathered all his energy on the dagger in his hand. The surface of the latter grew brighter and brighter, and the light overshadowed the bright moon that happened to reveal the clouds.
The next moment, I saw a brilliant thin line zigzag back and forth among the warriors, and in a moment's effort, the five warriors turned into motionless sculptures at the same time, until the armor on the chests of the five people shattered one after another, and large patches of bright red blood poured out through the wounds blasted out by the daggers.
Looking at Kane again, he returned to Jinli's side early at the same time as the five of them paused. The latter couldn't even take advantage of this opportunity to pull out the magic items and escape!
"You, you devil!", Jinli could no longer control his emotions, his whole body trembled with anger, and there were two tears rolling in his eyes. After all, he was too young to remain indifferent to the death of those familiar figures.
"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Kinley! I usually think I'm just a bastard who is not even a devil!" Kane frowned, his voice a little lonely.
"Don't worry, you'll be back with them soon!And, the little rats over there, when are you going to see it?!"
The magic bell wiped the cold sweat from the corners of his forehead: "He really found us a long time ago!"
Luo Ning lifted the stealth: "Yes! It's another battle without any chance of winning!"
The magic bell looked at him deeply by the moonlight: "Yes, we will probably die here! But at least, it is not too bad to die with you!"
The scarlet Dou Qi was surging, and with the continuous accumulation of Dou Qi energy in the body, the eyes of the magic bell gradually turned red!
At this moment, Kane, who had always been calm and confident, had an extremely excited expression on his face for the first time!
