Chapter 61
chpater61
Bowen is a thief, and what thieves are best at is hiding and escaping, and even Takales can't catch up with Bowen.
Tackales was so annoyed that he had someone lost after two blocks of chase, and he had Ulilah kidnapped right under his nose! Who took Urila captive? Someone who howls in the dark, or someone associated with the Forest of Terror? Whatever the man's purpose, his immediate priority is to rescue Ulila!
While Tacales was in a hurry to turn around where he was, Firsie, Monthama, Lub, and Shazo arrived.
When Filsey and Monthama arrived at the Wizarding Academy, the Wizarding Academy was completely chaotic, and this year's assessment was directly canceled, and a candidate was hijacked by someone on his own territory, which made the Wizarding Academy lose face, and its reputation would plummet, and even the profession of wizard would not be able to raise its head in the short term. In order to eliminate this effect, the people of the Wizarding Academy will also play a part in the rescue of Ulila. Of course, the people of the White Lion Mercenary Group don't count on them, otherwise they wouldn't know if it would be the Year of the Monkey when they rescued Ulila.
Filsey said, "We found out about it with the people from the Wizarding Academy, so we followed the code you left, and on the way, we ran into Lubu and Xia Zuo, and they came together. He took Takales' hand and reassured, "Commander, don't be too anxious yet, since Bowen said that someone hired him to find Urila, then Ullila's life will not be in danger for a while." ”
Xia Zuo said, "Yes, Ulilah is a special wizard, okay, let's pray for that Bowen." ”
Takales said: "Bowen's body is very fast, I guess he is a thief above the second order, or it may be a first-order, Ulilah's actual combat experience is too little, and the person is too simple, I am afraid that something will happen to him." ”
As soon as Takares said this, the hearts of the other four also sank, no matter how high Ulila's professional level was, he was still just a little imp who had not been deeply involved in the world, and besides, Ulila's most powerful witchcraft was to summon an army of skeletons, and he had never used any clever sorcery outside of it. A person's strength and whether he can give full play to his own strength are two different things.
Of the five, Lub is the only one who is a thief, and the only way to follow Bowen's footsteps is to count on Lubu.
Lub searched around, had a clue, and said, "Follow me." ”
Takales hurriedly followed.
Lub turned left and right in Heman City, and walked through the streets and alleys, repeating several roads two or three times.
Xia Zuo said suspiciously: "Lubu, we have walked this road twice, right?" Why do you keep going around on this road? ”
Lub said: "Bowen is in the old cloth. ”
"You're saying that Bowen deliberately went around town to cover up his whereabouts in order to get rid of us?" ”
Lub said, "Yes." ”
Takales didn't see Bowen's true strength, so he couldn't estimate who was stronger Bowen or Lub, but at this moment, they could only trust Lub's tracking skills.
The five of them finally arrived at an ancient castle that was so large that it did not fit in with the villas around it, as if it had stood out of thin air in the city of Heman. It was obviously noon, but the sky above the castle was dark and dusk, as if the dead air emitted by the castle had infected the sky.
Lub said, "This is it. ”
Takales said, "Let's go." ”
The iron gate of the ancient castle of Takaresla was the moment his hand touched the fence, a scorching heat spread to his arm, as if a fire was scorching him. Takales reflexively let go, and when he looked at his palm, it turned red.
"This castle has an enchantment," said Filsey. ”
"Isn't the barrier generally defensive? ”
Filsey said, "There are some enchantments that can be used to attack as well. He picked up a fallen leaf and pasted it on the barrier, and the fallen leaf turned to ashes in an instant, which shows the high temperature of the barrier, "The barrier can't take the initiative to attack, but if the person who created the barrier is strong enough, he can attach attack effects to the barrier, such as heat, cold, thunder, and so on." ”
Xia Zuo said: "Most of the mage's enchantments are only used for defense, and most wizards will use offensive enchantments, eh, but this is at least something that can only be done by first-order wizards and above." ”
Monthama looked at the towering castle and said, "In other words, the owner of this castle is the one who kidnapped Ulila, and the person who kidnapped Ulila is at least a first-order wizard. ”
Filsi nodded solemnly and said, "This first-order wizard has hired at least one medium-sized mercenary group. ”
Five second-order professionals, against a medium-sized mercenary group and a first-order wizard, this is really not a good chance of winning.
"Let's go back to the base first to gather the members. ”
"It's too late," Tacales said. His face was terribly dark, "Do you remember the Forest of Terror?" The entire Forest of Terror was designed to deliver nutrients to Ulila, who was the magic fruit, which was not naturally formed, it was man-made. What if the man who captured Ulila was the mastermind behind the Dreadwoods? ”
Filsey said, "Then Ulilah is in danger." ”
Several people were silent, this is a situation where it is difficult to ride a tiger, and when they enter the ancient castle, they are going to die; Returning to the mercenary base to move the rescuers is equivalent to abandoning Ulila.
Takales made a quick decision, and he said, "Amon, you go back to the base and bring all the people, and the four of us will explore the ancient castle." ”
"This decision is not wise," Mr. Monhama said. ”
Takales said, "Amon, I'm the head of the regiment, you have to listen to me!" There can be no more delay, the more we delay, the more dangerous Ulila will be. ”
He said, "Hold on." Then he turned around and ran back to base as fast as he could.
As soon as Monhama left, his combat effectiveness weakened again.
Tacales asked Filsie, "Can this barrier be broken?" ”
"Yes," said Filsie, "but as soon as this barrier is broken, the people inside will sense us." ”
"Good," said Takares. ”
There are two ways to break the barrier: when you are in the barrier, you have to look for the core of the barrier, destroy the core of the barrier, and then the core will disappear; When you're outside the barrier, it's an attack on the barrier, and after all, the essence of the barrier is defense, and when the damage achieved by the attack exceeds the defense capacity of the barrier, the barrier is broken.
In order to preserve the overall strength of the four as much as possible, the destruction of the barrier was left to Xia Zuo, which would ensure that the other three would still have combat power when Xia Zuo was exhausted by outputting too much magic power.
Xia Zuo is a three-line magician of the wood and earth wind, he can arrange and combine hundreds of magic arrays alone, he calculates the attack power of his magic array in his mind, and selects the strongest and most practical one.
Xia Zuo used wind magic to levitate himself in mid-air, he closed his eyes, waved his wand, and tapped the four corners of the east, east, west, and north, and when he finished, four towering trees rose from the ground around the four corners of the ancient castle! This tree is no ordinary tree, it is covered with a heavy layer of earth, and these trees are frantically absorbing nutrients from the earth, causing them to crack in the places where they have roots. The four trees seemed to be alive, and they were wrapped around the barrier of the castle, and because of the mud, the branches of the trees were not charred by the barrier. The tree grew bigger and bigger, crisscrossing the branches that almost wrapped the castle into a ball, and under Xia Zuo's command, the branches gradually tightened, and the terrible pressure caused cracks to appear on the surface of the barrier.
Natsuzo raised his left hand, centered on his arm, and the wind swirled against the current, forming a whirlpool, which grew bigger and bigger, turning into a tornado! He shook the tornado, and the tornado hit the barrier, and the tornado was like a huge wedge, seeping through the cracks in the barrier, and it was really pervasive. As the tornado's power increased and the branches covered it, the barrier was overwhelming after all, and it collapsed into nothingness in an instant after emitting a dazzling red light!
It took most of Xia Zuo's magic to destroy the barrier, he fell from the sky, and Filsi wanted to pick up someone, but someone was faster than him, and that person was Lub.
Lubu hugged Xia Zuo, and Xia Zuo leaned on Lu Bu's arms and said, "Sleepy, I want to sleep." ”
Lub said, "Hold back. ”
Xia Zuo yawned and said, "My magic will be restored in a while, so you protect me." ”
Lub said, "Okay. ”
Xia Zuo jumped to the ground, refreshed, and said with a smile, "That's what you said. ”
Takales pushed open the iron door, and the four men entered the castle in turn, allowing it to close behind itself.
The castle is quite large, and the internal structure is also complex, with cloisters and rooms everywhere, like a man-made labyrinth. They expected that someone would come to meet them in the castle, but it was deserted and eerily silent.
"Beware of traps," Filsey said. ”
Takales asked, "Lub, can you still track down Bowen?" ”
Lub said, "No, there is no trace of this castle." ”
"Strange," said Tacales, "Could it be that he disappeared out of thin air? ”
Xia Zuo said, "Let's look for it." ”
The four men searched the first floor for twenty minutes, finding nothing, and then they went up to the second floor. Once on the second floor, there were two corridors leading in different directions, and they had decided to divide into two paths, with Tacales and Filcie on the left, and Lubu and Shazo on the right.
Takales and Filsi had barely stepped onto the corridor when they sensed something was wrong, but by the time they tried to retreat, it was too late, and the entrance to the corridor had already disappeared at the end - it was the spatial barrier.
The space where Tacales and Filsi are located is an empty city, a dilapidated city full of ruins, it must have experienced a great war, and even the smoke of war is still burning in many places.
Tacles and Firsey walked side by side on the rough streets, both tensing their nerves.
Filsie said, "Do your best to find the enchantment nucleus." ”
"Yes, we have to hurry," said Takales, "for the barrier outside the castle and the barrier inside the castle have convinced me that the man who captured Ulilah must have something to do with the Forest of Terror!" "If they're slow, maybe Ulilah will become someone else's meal.
"Don't worry," said Filsi, "we will rescue Ulila." ”
Filsie's words always calmed Takares, and this time was no exception, he pulled the corners of his mouth, and he smiled, and he said, "You're right, I'm Takares, you're Philsi, and with us, nothing will happen to Ulila." ”
Filsi pinched Tacales' face and said, "I like your confidence. ”
The two of them were busy flirting and scolding, but neither of them relaxed their vigilance against the outside world, so when a sword qi broke through the air, they quickly separated, allowing the sword qi to split between them, until the road was split into a deep pit one meter deep!
Takales looked behind him and saw a man in a knight's outfit standing, carrying his great sword, cigarette in his mouth, and an air of frivolity and ostentation all over his body.
The man spat out a smoke ring and said, "Yo, you're the famous Takales in Heman City, better looking than the rumors, tsk, even a man like me would be tempted by your looks." ”
Tacales asked, "Who are you?" ”
The man said, "Iron Blood Mercenary Regiment, First Order Knight Cruise, please advise." ”
