Chapter 42: The First Battle Contractor
"Sinful souls?" Arthur raised his eyebrows, "I don't know if my soul is good or bad, but if it's really sinful, it must be so evil that it is rotten and moldy, and repentance is not enough." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
As soon as he finished speaking, Arthur instantly lowered his body, threw out the medicine bottle with one hand, put on the mask with the other, and retreated at the same time.
Arthur originally wanted to surprise and charm the man, but to his surprise, the medicine bottle was obviously flying towards the man, but in the middle of it, it shattered to the ground as if it had been knocked down, and the spilled potion quickly evaporated, rising a puff of white smoke.
Arthur was surprised: "How come!? You didn't move!"
He was sure that he didn't see the man move a bit: "Could it be...... Magic?"
The man looked at the broken vial and said as if to himself, "Hypnotic drugs? ”
The next moment, the man raised his finger slightly, and a wind pressure suddenly swirled around him, and the volatile potion and white smoke were blown away by the wind in an instant.
"Repentance often requires greater wisdom and courage, but unfortunately, it seems that you do not have both. ”
Seeing the whirlwind dissipate, Arthur suddenly remembered that when fighting the bandits of the Wommere Path, Nayin had used a similar trick to seal the power of the explosives explosion.
Suddenly realized something, in order to prevent his companions from being attacked, Arthur drew his sword and attacked, but as soon as he stepped out, there was a sudden scream of a girl behind him, Arthur hurriedly turned his head, and saw a thick man like a giant, nearly three meters tall, grabbed Nayin and lifted her up.
The giant's whole body was covered with green muscles, which looked like they were about to explode from his body, and there were several green muscles on the top of his bare head, and his huge half-naked body wore only simple leather pants and no shoes, just like a legendary savage.
"Nayin!" Arthur shouted, as Werther took his bow and aimed it at the giant's throat, "Brother Virther, watch out!
"Shi ......" was surprised when the arrow had already been fired, but it was shot into the high wall, and in an instant the giant and Nayin disappeared out of thin air, Werther did not see clearly, he only saw a fist swinging, but in the blink of an eye, the boulder-like fist hit him hard in the chest and abdomen, Werther was sent flying into the library, his back hit the bookshelf, and then even the bookshelf was knocked down.
There was a subtle change in the man's eyes: "It's not a Sean, but you can quickly judge that Philip is a spirit shadow, young man, are you a contractor?"
"Brother Vitter!" Arthur yelled angrily, first Inaine was arrested, then Witt was sent flying, and Arthur's expression changed suddenly.
His dark eyes stared at the crazy giant, and the tips of his teeth on both sides bit his lower lip, biting out two obvious deep pits.
"Damn, damn it, bastard savage, is it because it's a spirit shadow!?"
Seeing Nayin's painful expression, Arthur immediately made a decision and shouted loudly: "Nayin! This guy is Cyan Priest Rod!
Understanding the meaning of Arthur's words, Naine gave up the struggle and activated her spiritual power, and soon a strong whirlwind blew around her, and even the giant had to raise his other hand to block his eyes.
The man raised the corners of his mouth: "It seems that the answer is obvious...... Philip, let go of the girl. ”
The giant called Philip immediately let go of Nain, and the fierce expression on his face disappeared completely.
He walked back behind the man, except for his eyes that were still wary, his expression was calm and calm, compared to the guy who grabbed Nayin and attacked Werther just now, he was like a different person at this moment.
If it weren't for his unusually tall body, and the bruised green tendons and hideous muscles, he would look no different from an ordinary person, and maybe he would still be a kind and good person.
Seeing Arthur use his hand to protect the spirit shadow running behind him, Rod smiled lightly, and he opened his hand, as if he felt helpless and worthless about the previous battle.
"Young people, how about joining the church?"
Arthur didn't speak, he looked closely at Rod's hands, not from what he said, but from his brown eyes, judging the next moment of movement of the open hands.
At the same time he listened carefully, to Nayin's condition, to Werther's injuries.
"Since you choose to use the ability of the contractor, joining the church is your only choice, depending on what you are now, a simple swordsman?"
The first time Rhodes met someone who was a contractor but didn't take the initiative to join the church, and in addition to curiosity, there was a slight sarcasm in his tone, but it was not a mockery.
Similarly, Arthur was unhappy with Rod's teasing, but not to the point of getting angry.
He knew that the right choice was to avoid fighting, whether it was to delay or deceive, the opponent was Sean's Soul Rider Priest, who had no chance of victory.
But Arthur's hand clenched tighter.
Rhodes was still talking about the Contractors and the Church, and was talking about the same praise as the books in the Sean Library.
Even though Arthur had only been out of the mountains of the frontier for a short time, he knew that the words of praise were not as holy and beautiful as they sounded. Behind those beautiful words, there is an entanglement of interests.
Arthur's eyes narrowed slightly, he could see Rod's lips constantly opening and closing, but he no longer listened to his voice, the sound of his heartbeat gradually became clear, the blood flowing in his body, and the sound of the river connecting the other side, gradually brightened like being illuminated by the sun.
If the goal is the church, then it must have the power to open the doors of the church, and it is not subordinate and obedient.
It is clear that the crisis is looming ahead, but the young man's thinking is inexplicably clear.
Arthur felt a pair of soft hands gently caress his back, and a sound drifted down the river.
"What Arthur decided was what I wanted to do. ”
Arthur briefly closed his eyes, felt the touch of that hand, and wondered if life was connected, whether the mind would be connected.
After opening his eyes, Arthur took Nayin's hand, only briefly and quickly let go.
He looked up, his ears trying to make out were equally sure of what Werther meant.
"It's now!" shouted Arthur as he rushed forward, running all the way to Rhodes and stabbing with his sword.
Just as the giant in the rear was about to protect his master, the ground shook and undulated under the control of Nayin, the surface suddenly broke, part of the earth and stones rose, and the sharp stone pillar at the top like a stalagmite quickly rushed out and stabbed the two of them.
Giant Philip was surprised to adjust his center of gravity, and at the same time launched the wind pressure, covering Rhodes to defend against Arthur's attack, just as he was dodging, or shattering those surging stone pillars, almost at the same time as Arthur Nein's attack, an arrow shot out from inside the library, it was Werther's second shot that he had practiced since childhood, and there was almost no time difference between the two arrows, the target was not Rhodes, but the spirit shadow who was eager to protect his master.
