Chapter 7: The Magic Barrier
As soon as she came out of Crescent Manor, Lucia went straight to the alley where she had fought with the "wolf spirit", 10,000 Tysols! I see the fat in my mouth! Lucia remembered that she had learned search magic, but she couldn't remember what the spell was, she tapped her head, and somehow, since the morning she saw Moan, her mind had not been clear, like a slurry. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Lucia could only lie on the ground, carefully inspecting every inch of the land. Nothing was found until the evening. Lucia was dejected, she was hungry. I had just eaten two loaves of bread, but my stomach was still empty, and the gastric juice seemed to corrode the whole stomach.
Stumbling back to the Golden Monkey Tavern, Lucia's mind was full of all she had to do with Angelina's food. It was late in the evening, and it wasn't quite dark yet. The lights of Egrim had just been lit, and this time of year was the busiest time for the Golden Monkey Tavern, and the laughter and scolding in various languages were endless, and the smell of wine could be smelled from three miles away...... But today, it was eerily quiet, not to mention the smell of wine, and the whole tavern was enveloped in a sinister atmosphere.
Green eyes swirled in their sockets, and Lucia vaguely sensed something, and a suffocating smell filled the air. She shook her head hard and pushed open the door to the tavern, which was brightly lit.
Angelina sat behind the counter, grimacing. Beside her was a large, masked man with a knife against her neck. Lucia looked around, and there were no other guests, only five or six masked men, also dressed in black, sitting, standing, or pacing back and forth.
He ...... They said...... Looking for you......" Angelina made a trembling voice, she couldn't figure out what the little girl in front of her was, in just two days, first the visit of the rich man Mo An, and then the provocation of these outlaws.
Lucia crossed her arms over her chest, lifted one foot, hooked the chair closest to her, and sat down: "Well, I'm Lucia, what are you doing?" ”
"They all say that the wine here is good," said the man sitting in the corner, pouring himself a glass, "I specially brought my brothers here today to charter a venue, and by the way, I will catch up with you." ”
In fact, Lucia noticed this person as soon as she entered the door, although she hid in the corner and covered her face, the aura emanating from his body was very different from the others, and the radius of those people's movements was also centered on him. Lucia rested her cheek on the table with one hand, and kept tapping on the table with the other: "I have a relationship with you, so I chased here, hey, 'wolf', do you like me?" ”
"That's right!" The wolf spirit stood up and walked over to Lucia, "I like you...... of pocket watches. ”
Lucia sighed, "You don't have to guess to know, but you were not as skilled as others at the beginning, and now you are running to bully unarmed civilians," Lucia said as she skimmed Angelina, "Are you 'wild wolves' masked because you are shameless?" ”
I thought that this would anger the "wolf spirit", but he not only did not get angry, but instead signaled his subordinates to release Angelina: "My brothers are all here to drink, and it is inevitable that a few of them will get drunk and play drunk, hey-boss, don't you mind." ”
"No, I don't mind." Angelina shook her head wildly.
"So, hand over your pocket watch." "Wolf Spirit" turned to Lucia again.
"What kind of logic is this, why do I have to give you the pocket watch if you let Angelina go?"
"I mean...... This is my territory, I can catch and release people, and of course I can kill them. The word-for-word threat of "wolf spirit" made Lucia very uncomfortable.
"Impossible, it's already been returned to its owner!"
"Its owner? Who is its owner? "Wolf Spirit" asked further.
"That doesn't mean that we have rules in this business."
"the rules of the ghost, I'm afraid you have been deceived and don't know, the owner of this thing died thirty years ago, and he is dead!"
Lucia's eyes widened and she paused for a few seconds: "That's it...... Even so, you are not its owner, why should you rob it! ”
In fact, the words of "wolf spirit" still dealt a certain blow to Lucia, although Mo'an's statement about the heirloom was full of loopholes, and Lucia never really believed it. But now that you've taken on the task, you don't need to think about it so much. However, Lucia has always been patient with her growing curiosity about the origin of this pocket watch. If the "wolf spirit" has a soft spot for it because it is priceless, then as a rich man, Mo An wants to get it not just because it is valuable, there must be some other secrets. This was Lucia's initial thought, and the words of the "wolf" just now confirmed her reasoning.
The "wolf spirit" choked on Lucia's words was silent for a few seconds, during which he kept looking at Lucia, trying to see something in her green eyes, but those eyes were as deep as a swamp. Gradually, "Wolf Spirit" began to lose his patience, one second like a still statue, and the next he thundered, kicking Lucia's chair over. And the latter jumped lightly, flipped over the head of the "wolf spirit", and landed on his other side.
"At least let me see you for what you really are before we start fighting again!" Lucia threw the black mask in her hand at the "wolf spirit", and it turned out that Lucia ripped off the mask of the "wolf spirit" with the jump just now.
Wheat-colored skin, a high nose, slightly thick lips, an angular face, and two thick eyebrows, ice blue eyes full of surprise and a little anger.
"It's handsome! But not my thing! Lucia didn't have the same feelings for "Wolf Spirit" as a little girl, she was just calculating her chances of winning the next battle.
Lucia's physical attacks can't be compared to Wolf Spirit, magic is her only forte, but that's enough! Lucia chanted the incantation, the red light converged on her right hand, and the rudiments of a long sword gradually took shape, and then became more and more concrete: "Wait to be slaughtered!" 'Wolf'! ”
At this point, the "wolf spirit" did not react, he crossed his arms and leaned against a table. There was no expression on his face, no fear, no nervousness.
What's going on? Not good!
At the same moment, the long sword in Lucia's hand disappeared with a "bang", and she was so shocked that she hurriedly recited the spell again, but this time there was no red light, and the magic failed......
"Impossible!" Lucia slumped on the ground, magic failure had never happened before, at this moment, her brain was racing, why? Why? Suddenly, a word flashed through her mind - "magic barrier"!
I see, no wonder I felt that something was wrong as soon as I entered this tavern, but now I finally understand. When she was a child, Lucia heard from her master that the "magic barrier" was a magic prop invented by the great magician Montfellow hundreds of years ago. It was meant to help unarmed civilians deal with evil mages. In the area shrouded by it, not only ordinary magicians, but even the magic power of high-level magicians will be sealed, but it has been handed down for hundreds of years, and the "magic barrier" is very marketable on the black market as an expensive prop, but the people who use it are very different.
I don't know how much money the "wolf spirit" spent, and used the "magic barrier" to cover the Golden Monkey Tavern and lay such an enchantment. And the moment Lucia pushed open the door to the tavern, she fell into his trap.
