Chapter 8: The Tempest

At dusk, the glow of the sun turned the sky as red as blood, and the city of Nagwe was also painted with a thin layer of red light. Although the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info no longer scorching the sun, it has only begun to dissipate heat from the earth, and because there is no wind, it still looks very stuffy.

The streets were quite sparsely populated, and I walked lonely on the streets, and soon became a monolithic form, a peculiar presence in the city.

I paused for a moment in Adler's palatial door, then walked away slowly, circled the street, and turned into the dark path.

Of course, I didn't enjoy this rare loneliness for long, and more than a dozen figures stopped in front of me.

I looked coldly at these men covered in black cloaks and swords in their hands, and said, "What are you doing?" Blocking the road, I'm afraid it's either a traitor or a thief! ”

One of them said, "Our eldest brother wants to invite you over for a meeting!" ”

"Do I know you?"

"I'll know then."

"I don't have any acquaintances in this city."

"Just come with us!"

"Don't go!" I replied.

Everyone was stunned, and they didn't expect me to answer so simply, and the person who spoke before said, "Don't pretend, Memphis! No matter how much you hide your head and tail, you can't fool your old friend! ”

"Who are you talking about?" I took off my helmet, revealing a face that they hadn't imagined, and everyone was stunned.

And my ruthless sword was swung in an instant, and the two people in front of me who bore the brunt were immediately knocked unconscious.

When the others saw that something was wrong, they immediately unleashed their weapons, and I passed by the man on the left like a gust of wind, and the three of them fell in response, reduced to lifeless corpses.

The rest of the people were all shocked, and they were all frightened by me, a Shura-like killing god, and ran to the other end of the alley. These people are mainly here to confirm my identity, as long as the goal is achieved, and there is no desperate intention.

However, at the other end of the alley, there was already another tall figure waiting there, and the heavy sword in the man's hand waved and said, "I am the one you are looking for!" And he met these men who were sent to their deaths.

I glanced at the two stunned guys, and I didn't intend to leave too much alive, and the "unnamed" in my hand outflanked those people in one fell swoop.

"It's really stormy!" I said with a little emotion while fanning my hands to cool off and feeling the hot weather. "According to the information synthesized after the separate torture of the two people, 'Black Hawk' and 'Nightfire' should be hiding in the slums west of the city, which is full of people of all religions and nine ranks, so it is the best place to hide." Memphis gasped as he folded the beads of sweat from his forehead with his hands.

"Did Sasarin get in touch?"

"I haven't been able to get in touch yet, and Adler's house is too heavily defended...... That's what worries me the most. Memphis had a visibly worried look on his face.

"It seems that the success of saving Sasarin depends on the decomposition tomorrow." I looked out the window at the dark night, the dark clouds covered the whole night sky with no light and moon, and suddenly a lightning bolt cut through the darkness, and then a roar of thunder broke the silence of the night sky.

"The wind is blowing...... "I turned my gaze back to Memphis, and said lightly, "let us make a storm of our own!" ”

Me, Memphis, Mr. Vitan, and nearly 100 Hurricane generals launched a second night raid, and under the cover of thunder and howling winds, they rushed to a pointed building in the west of the city at the junction of the slum and the central market.

This Gothic-style building does not have any of the opulence and grandeur of Gothic architecture, the original stained-glass windows have faded or broken, and the exterior walls are badly peeled off, presenting an old and dilapidated scene, which should be an abandoned church.

The dim light flickered in the night, reflecting the faint shadow inside, revealing a trace of strange taste.

I nodded to Mr. Vitan, and Mr. Vitan chanted a incantation, and a wall of spatial magic more powerful than Aaron's poetry unleashed silently enveloped the entire building.

At this time, I also chanted the magic incantation: "O supreme god from distant time and space, accept my prayer and grant me the wrath of the god of fire; O fire spirits that wander the infinite space, please make a blood pact with me...... Summoned in my nameβ€”Flame Dance! ”

With the rapid gathering of the space fire element, with one hand, countless fire flames danced with one hand, constantly expanding and expanding, forming a huge fireball, with my gentle inducement, the scorching fire instantly broke through the door of the building, and fell inside, and then produced a thunderous explosion, and a terrible scream filled the surrounding space. Of course, people outside the magic walls of the space can't feel it.

This is the second time I've used the "Fireworks Dance" in actual combat, the first time it was launched with extreme energy exhaustion, and this time it finally succeeded.

At this moment, dozens of figures rushed out of it frantically, and when they saw those of us surrounding them in a circle, they couldn't help but stop and draw their blades in a panic.

The two leaders restrained the panic of their subordinates and looked at us calmly.

Both of them were about forty years old, holding long knives and willow leaf swords. The one-eyed man was dressed in black and had black hair, with a hawkish nose and fish eyes, his eyebrows burned together, and the top of his head was bald, reflecting the red fire, and only one eye burned with a fire of hatred that was even hotter than the fire.

The other person was blue-clothed and red-haired, and his long hair, which was redder than blood, was scorched, looking a little embarrassed, and his appearance was quite delicate, but his waist was slightly hunched, his left shoulder seemed higher than his right shoulder, and the asymmetry between the left and right destroyed his chic temperament, and a pair of slender eyes shot out like a sword from time to time.

The one-eyed man looked over our faces, resting on Memphis, and the cold light in his one-eyed eyes suddenly flourished, and he waved the long knife in his hand and roared angrily: "Memphis, you have done a good deed! ”

Memphis said quietly: "'Black Hawk' Hurley, have you done less good deeds?" You don't need to bark at me, I'm just courteous. ”

Then he said to the slightly hunched man: "I can't imagine that you're 'Night Fire' Fujiat and the bald man are also plotting against me!" But you, who have never traded at a loss, are afraid that you will lose your life this time! ”

"The 'hurricane' and our two families are in flames, either you die or I die! Sooner or later, this day will come, but we're just going to make it a little bit earlier...... I didn't expect you to ask such a strong magician to help, we underestimated your Memphis's strength! Now that the mistake has occurred, it is time to correct it. The feminine voice of "Night Fire" floated across the night sky, and his gaze skimmed over my face.

After speaking, "Night Fire" Fu Gat held the Willow Leaf Sword in his backhand, his shoulders shrugged slightly, and the distance of several zhang instantly narrowed, and in the blink of an eye, the Willow Leaf Sword slashed at me, trying to kill me, the magician he thought posed the greatest threat to them in the Memphis Array. Of course, he had clearly ignored the existence of Mr. Vitan.

At the same time, "Black Hawk" Hurley also launched an attack on Memphis, and the men of both sides also entered a melee, it seems that "Black Hawk" and "Night Fire" are experienced sand pirates, and want to change from passive to active.

I quickly let out the "unnamed", lightly blocked the grid, resisted the strength of the "Night Fire" sword, turned around and staggered my position, and reached his other side, and then the long sword struck nineteen swords in a row, forcing Fu Gat back more than ten steps before retracting the sword and staring at him coldly.

"I can't believe you're not a pure magician! I paid Gat today is a big miscalculation! As he spoke, his asymmetrical shoulders shook violently, and his handsome face was replaced by a black gas.

I was slightly shocked that this guy actually knew how to fight to death! A kind of dark fighting spirit cultivated by the resentful spirits of the dead, because it is too domineering and harmful, it is listed as one of the top ten forbidden techniques in the mainland.

Fugat's willow-leaf sword struck me with a dark glow, like the claws of a ghost.

I didn't dare to slack off, the long sword was drawn, urging the fighting spirit of the whole body, and the clothes began to dance with the fighting spirit, starting from the tip of the sword, a brighter light than the bright moon began to fill the space around me, and all the dead black light that came from the impact was assimilated and dissolved by my soft light of life.

Then, I rushed through the light, my figure flashed, and the "Weiming" in my hand suddenly disappeared from Fugat's naked eyes in the high-speed stabbing, and when the sword body appeared again, "Weiming" had already pierced Fugat's heart!

With the "unnamed" sword body pierced into Fu Gart's body as the center, all the black qi on his body slowly faded, and in its place was a pale complexion.

I pulled the "unnamed" out of Fu Gart's body, and with a flick of it, all the blood attached to the sword was swept out, and at this time, the blood in Fu Gart's chest gushed out, stained the pale skin, and then flowed to the ground.

Fugart looked at the wound on his body, put his fingers in his own blood and sucked in his mouth, his throat made a "gege" sound, the corner of his mouth stained with blood suddenly showed a strange smile, he took two steps in my direction, his body shook a little, and he fell to the ground, convulsed on the ground for a while, and his whole body stiffened - dead.

At this time, the battle between Memphis and the "Black Eagle" Hurley was also nearing the end, under the fierce and continuous offensive of Memphis, Hurley could still support at first and organize a certain offensive, but after a long time, the difference in physical strength between the two was clearly reflected.

Faced with Memphis, which seemed to be like a river pouring inexhaustibly, Hurley could only retreat, barely struggling to swim on the brink of death, and finally lost his strength and was stopped by Memphis and killed with a sword.

The rest of the "Black Hawk" and "Night Fire" bandits were slaughtered by Memphis's men in a mood of unintentional war, and of course, their frequent backlash also cost the "Hurricane" more than a dozen lives.

In the end, under the barrier of Mr. Vitan's spatial magic wall, I used my powerful fire magic to wipe out the entire abandoned church along with the corpses of the sand thieves.

Just after dealing with the matter, a long-brewing rainstorm finally descended on the city under the guidance of thunder and lightning, completely washing away the traces of a battle.

When people woke up from their slumber the next day and walked through the rainy streets, they were surprised to find that a pointed building that had been standing there had disappeared as if it had never existed.

Years later, the mysterious disappearance of the building has been the most incredible mystery in Nagwi City, and countless absurd and bizarre legends have been interpreted in the mouths of the citizens of Nagwi, indicating that human beings have subconscious fear and resistance to the incredible or incomprehensible, instinctively looking for reasonable explanations that meet their own wishes, and even give meaning to the gods and monsters. It was not until the establishment of the Ssainten Empire and the compilation of historical biographies by historians began to compile the imperial canon that this mystery in the minds of the citizens of Nagvi was solved.

"Memphis, you pull out fifty capable men to summon Teacher Vitan." When I got back to the ironsmith shop, I made a request to Memphis.

"Okay...... Alex, what is this for? Memphis agreed, but asked not without confusion.

"I will know it then. Focus on tomorrow's challenges and don't get distracted by anything else. I said lightly, "In addition, you sent people to put eyeliner at the four gates of Vigvi......"

After I whispered in Memphis's ear for a while, Memphis nodded and said, "Let them report to you as soon as they find out...... Alex, is this really okay? Not afraid ......"

I smiled and said, "I didn't calculate them, I just took advantage of the situation." ”

After Memphis left, I said to Mr. Vitan, "Please...... Teachers wouldn't refuse such a thing to help others, right? ”

Teacher Vitan had a sly look on his face, stared at me and said, "Of course, I am obligated to do this...... But don't think I don't know what's going on in your belly about what you tell Memphis. ”

I smiled "hehe" and said, "Teacher, don't worry...... I won't embarrass you. ”

The corners of Mr. Vitan's mouth also pursed into a smile, and he said, "I'd like to see if Adler, the profiteer, is powerful, or if you're a little fox who is calculating." But in this way, aren't you afraid that Memphis will trouble you afterwards? ”

"It's too late for him to thank me...... It's time to get a good night's sleep and have enough energy to deal with the crisis that comes tomorrow. I said flatly.

glanced at Vivien, who was silent, and said to her, "You should also have a good rest, tomorrow, the days of running around will begin again." ”

Last night's storm came suddenly and went quickly, and the next day it was clear and the sun was shining brightly, as if a storm had never happened.

The scene of the final was very enthusiastic, not only all the audience seats were full, but even Adler, one of the richest businessmen in Nagway, also came, accompanied by a graceful woman in a blue dress and a light veil, although her face could not be seen, but from the hot eyes of Memphis, it was clear that this was Miss Sasalyn who should be his dream.

The moderator gave the floor to the organizer of the conference, Mr. Adler, who rose from his presidency. He was about fifty years old, with a white mane, a white face and no beard, a nose like a hanging gall, sparse eyebrows, bright eyes, and a terrifying light from time to time.

Adler cleared his throat and said, "Thanks to your support, the little girl's marriage fight was successfully held. After several days of fierce competition, the hero of the two heroes was finally decided - the two players present were undoubtedly heroes of the moment, and they had to overcome all the obstacles to get here. It may be said that no matter which one you are, you are worthy of the little girl, and you are qualified to become your son-in-law. But there is only one little girl, so the little girl can only marry the winner in today's finals. For other fighters who participated in this martial arts meeting and achieved good results, I will abide by my promise and give corresponding bonuses, if these people are willing to stay in Nagvi to serve, whether it is the government or the joint defense force, the door is open for you at any time! Now, let's watch a thrilling final! ”

With that, Adler's gaze swept over the faces of both of us, and after a pause on my face, he returned to the chair and sat down.

So under the announcement of the host, my "decisive battle" with Memphis officially began.

My showdown with Memphis was very exciting, it was intense. The flying sword aura and close-fitting continuous exchange of sword qi and "blunt" of "Weiming" dazzled others, the scene was quite good-looking, and thrilling, and the audience cheered enthusiastically. Judging by the cheers, it seems that I have the highest voice, which should have something to do with the sharp edge I have shown in my past games and the deliberately low-key attitude of Memphis.

But this seemingly dangerous situation was deliberately created by me and Memphis, and after many days of getting along, we were quite familiar with each other's sword paths, so it was easy to put on a "show". According to the pre-design, I used a fierce sword move to pick "Blunt Hammer" into the air and landed near the chair of the spectator seat, ending the game.

I waved the word "Weiming" and greeted the cheers of the crowd as a victor.

At this point, Adler stood up, raised his hands, and said, "Everyone, stop!" Listen to me! ”

After everyone calmed down, Adler said coldly: "The winner of this exciting and fierce competition has finally been decided, but unfortunately, I can't marry my daughter to the robbers!" The person standing in front of everyone, under the pseudonym 'Alex', to hide his true face, is our great enemy of Nagvi, 'Hurricane of Death' Memphis! Danluo, catch this person for me, the little girl is yours! ”

There was a strong commotion in the crowd, screams one after another, and ran out of the field in panic, and at this time, dozens of samurai behind Adler rushed in, surrounded me, and their skills were quite athletic, it seemed that Adler had asked him to come back to protect him with a lot of money, and even Adler had no confidence in the strength of the joint defense force.

At this point, Memphis answered Adler slowly and shouted, "Protect Mr. Adler!" But he had already taken advantage of the opportunity to pick up the sword, and slowly approached Adler's side and Sasarin without everyone noticing.

"Mr. Adler, what do you mean by that!" I glanced over to the sword-wielding guards beside me and said coldly to Adler.

"Hmph, Memphis, don't pretend! Take off your helmet, your Hideaway is completely exposed! You want to kidnap my daughter, but it's delusional! Adler said in his chest.

I took off my helmet at the sound of a handsome face, and Adler's completely unfamiliar face stunned both himself and the guards.

"What's going on......" Adler muttered to himself, and what he had been sure of suddenly turned out to be more than he expected, and he lost his mind.

"Maybe I can tell you." I said, taking advantage of everyone's expressions, "Weiming" lightly took a look, and the "Wind God Imperial Dance" was launched, and the figure instantly passed through the encirclement, and a row of guards fell in response, quickly approaching Adler's side.

"Stop me!" Adler shouted in panic.

"It's late." A gruff voice rang out from Adler's side, and Memphis's sword was already on Adler's neck.

"You're the ......" Adler saw Memphis who had taken off his helmet, but his voice seemed to be stuck in his throat and he lost his speech.

At this time, I was already at the side of the two of them, and the long sword pointed at the guard behind him who did not dare to come forward because of the rat trap, and said, "If you want your employer to live, just give me not to act rashly!" ”

Memphis glanced at Sasalyn affectionately, said, "I'm coming......" and reached out to pull Sasalyn to his side.

But I slammed the "unnamed" into Memphis, and plunged a sword into Sasalyn's chest!

The sudden scene and thrilling change of "Alex, you ......" made Memphis unable to react to the intense shock of shock, anger, sadness, hatred, and doubt.

But I didn't answer, and pulled out my long sword, and the blood stained Sasarin's chest, and the dagger hidden in the back of Sasaline's right hand fell to the ground with a "bang".

Alex...... Sasalyn ...... Why ...... "Memphis completely lost the ability to think, and the words spoken also became staccato monophonic."

"He's not Sasalyn!" With a single sword, I lifted the veil that covered Sasaline's face, revealing the face of a strange "woman".

"Women don't have Adam's apple." I faintly unraveled Memphis's doubts.

At this time, the killer let out the last feminine voice from his throat: "You have seen through it...... But our Rouge Killers won't let you go...... They...... They will avenge me......" before falling to the ground and dying.

My expression couldn't help but change slightly, I couldn't imagine that Adler had invited people from the eight killer groups on the continent composed of yin and yang people, and there would be constant trouble in the future.

Memphis asked, a little confused, and a little incomprehensible, "Then Sasalyn ......?"

I stared at Adler and said, "Mr. Adler, Ling Yuan should still be in your mansion, right?" I'm afraid it's not anymore......"

Then ignoring Adler, whose face changed abruptly, he said to Memphis: "Don't worry, Teacher Vitan and your fifty brothers have already gone to the rescue. ”

Memphis immediately said hurriedly: "Then let's go to ...... quickly."

I shook my head and replied, "The so-called matter is messy if it concerns you, I was afraid that you would be impulsive and make a mistake and mess up your own position, so I didn't tell you...... With us here to attract everyone's attention and drag down all of Adler's arrangements, Adler's Mansion must be weak in defense, so Mr. Vitan's actions will be easy...... And with someone like Mr. Vitan, what else are you worried about? Let's solve the crisis in front of us first......"

Seeing that Memphis had calmed down, he said coldly to Adler: "Mr. Adler, please escort me and your good son-in-law for a ride." ”

After speaking, he said to all the guards: "Stay where you are, and you are not allowed to chase after you for half an hour!" ”

So he and Memphis escorted Adler away.

But by the time we left the square, the city's coalition forces had already followed. As I hurried, I threw a few fireballs behind me, and then slashed the ground with "Weiming", and the beautiful sword technique "Vulcan Fury Flame Song" was immediately released, forming a sea of fire fence from the ground behind me, and quickly spread towards the coalition defense forces, blocking everyone's pursuit. Then he and Memphis took Adler through the criss-crossing alleys, and Shi Ran left.
