Chapter XXXVI: La Rochelle and the Assault
Haotian has deepened his understanding of this world through the books in the library, so he understands that Albion is a country floating in the sky, the territory is probably larger than Torlistine, and the huge floating island is filled with high-quality wind system magic crystals, so it can support such a huge object to float in the air.

And just as the water spirits inhabit Torlistine, the wind spirits hide in the wind valley between the continents of Albion and Harukkinia. The wind elves who can freely travel in the wind are probably the freest elves, but fortunately, the wind elves like the high winds and do not like to play in the human realm, otherwise the entire human world will suffer.
Haotian and Louise Valut are going to Albion to get the letter from the crown prince to get Ann Rietta's letter. To get to Albion, they had to take a flying magic-powered ship, and the three of them traveled for a day and a half, first arriving in Torristin, where they could take a boat to the port city of La Rochelle in Albiang.
La Rochelle is a city of magical buildings, a four-way magician with an earthen system who spent thirty years carving out rooms and carving out streets from rocks. From scratch, such a port city closest to the sky was created. Because of the great magician's exploits, La Rochelle was given a fief to the archmage by the kingdom, and the city's taxes were divided into half by the royal family and the archmage's family.
"Amazing people." Looking at the lively city, and thinking that this was just a pile of rocks on the plateau, Haotian couldn't help but admire the great magician. Changing nature with the power of one person in this way can only be done by such a great magician and strong perseverance.
It was afternoon when they arrived at La Rochelle, and passers-by were curious and frightened by the majestic griffons of Valut. The three of them first found a hotel to settle in.
"The boat to Albion will not leave until tomorrow evening. Take a break before you do that. Valut arranged accommodation, bought ferry tickets, and came back to Haotian and the two of them.
"Yes, are you more skilled?" Haotian doesn't care.
"Now, Louise, let's go shopping." Haotian turned to Louise.
"Huh?! Okay, okay. Louise and Haotian left the inn, leaving Valut alone.
The smile on Valut's face turned completely gloomy after the two left.
A woman shrouded in a cloak approached and sat down beside Valut.
"Looks like you haven't been able to master Louise, Viscount Valut." Slightly teasing, the woman smiled.
Valut frowned at her, "Didn't you say don't come to me, Fukai?" ”
The woman unexpectedly took off her cloak, revealing her beautiful face with long blue hair, which turned out to be Fukai, a thief who should have been imprisoned in the palace.
"That swordsman's strength might be troublesome, why don't we?" Fukai asked with a smile as she put her hand around her neck.
Valut was scheming, if there was a triangular-level magician of the earth system like Fukai, in a place like Rochelle that was suitable for earth system magic, there should be eighty or ninety percent sure of killing that swordsman. But after the swordsman died, would Louise stop the mission? When the time comes, he will not see Crown Prince Willus.
Valut shook his head slightly. "Not now, wait until you find Willus."
"Yes." Fukai was a little disappointed.
"You have a grudge with that swordsman, so it's best not to let your problems affect our actions." Valut glanced at her warnly.
"How dare I, the one above us is... It seems that unwilling and fearful, the last three words are pronounced very lightly. Fukai drank the drink in front of her and walked away from Valut.
"I'm not going to kill him, but I should always let him get hurt."
"Whatever you want." Valut took a glass of wine to his own and drank it gently.
Haotian and Louise left the inn and walked around Rochelle. Because it is a port city, it is not inferior to the bustle of the king's capital, and there are many special products from Albiang. The two of them saw a lot of toys that relied on wind stones, heavy blankets that made people float (with many wind stones woven into them), cylinders made of stone that could blow comfortable wind (the bottom of the cylinder was wind stones), and extremely expensive clothes that could make people fly in the air, with a price tag of 500,000 gold coins. I heard the shopkeeper say that this is the use of elven craftsmanship, and the wind magic spar woven into the clothes is not the wind stone, even Albion does not sell much.
Haotian, who was moved, looked at his savings of less than 10,000 and smiled bitterly, although Louise's family is a duke's family, the pocket money that can be obtained is only a few hundred gold coins a month.
I'm so poor. Haotian took his eyes off the flight suit and pulled Louise away, not wanting to be tempted more.
However, he couldn't afford a flying suit, so Haotian still bought some useful gadgets.
A one-time enhanced version of the hair dryer, which can blow a very strong wind enough to blow people away, is worth fifty gold coins, and Haotian bought three; A pair of boots inlaid with wind stones can provide some buoyancy and make people more agile, which costs Haotian a thousand gold coins.
Louise bought some trinkets.
The two walked back from the commercial street, and the two of them had smiles on their faces in the sunset.
Fukai, who quietly followed behind the two, sneered.
Leaving the commercial street, wait until the two of them come to the square, and there are fewer people around.
"Jerut Us, Us, Us, Harlem." [Golem Summon], hiding in the shadows of the house, Fukai chanted the spell with all her might.
The ground in the square swelled, and the earth and rocks were piled up, and a giant of ten meters of high rock appeared in front of Haotian and Louise, casting a shadow in the setting sun.
"Earth giants?!" Haotian drew his sword and stood in front of Louise.
"Who is it? Castle Lord, still? Haotian couldn't think of anyone who would shoot at them.
Rochelle's soil is harder than that of the plains around the Academy, and the earth giants formed have rocky armor on the outside. No amount of fireball combined with wind and fire can break it. It can be said that this is the home of the earth system magicians.
Fukai controlled it in the distance, and the earth giant lowered his head to look at Haotian and Louise. Clenched his fist and smashed it down towards Haotian.
The earth giant's movements were relatively slow, and Haotian pulled Louise back for more than ten meters to dodge the punch. It shook as it hit the ground.
The earth giant stepped forward, and in a few steps passed the two fleeing men, blocking in front of him.
The surrounding pedestrians fled in all directions, panicking.
Haotian said to Louise: "Louise, hide to the side and prepare for nothingness." I'm going to hold it off. ”
"yes, I see." Louise nodded, and ran separately from Haotian to the corner of the house on the edge of the square.
Haotian looked up at the three-story tall earth giant: "Hey, stupid big man, you can't beat me." ”
Fukai didn't care about "Louise of Zero" and let the earth giant attack Haotian.
"Bang, bang, bang" fists and feet fell, the ground shook, Haotian relied on the body strengthened by Gang Daruf and baptized by the water spirits, jumping left and right, always able to dodge the clumsy attacks of the earth giants. However, the square was not intact under the attack, and there were holes one after another.
Fukai in the shadows prepared a back hand, pointing to the moving Haotian's feet.
"G-Uss Move." 【Ground Movement】
Haotian, who was dodging the attack of the earth giant, fell to the ground and was about to jump to the side. The ground where he landed did tremble as suddenly as before the quilt was dried.
?! Having lost his foothold, Haotian was made to fall backwards by the movement on the ground.
The earth giant's huge fist smashed down from above, gradually growing larger in front of Haotian's eyes.
How are you going to hide now? Swordsman. Fukai thought to herself.
"Fifty gold coins." Haotian cursed, and quickly reached into his arms with his left hand and stretched a cylinder to the left.
"Bang" A strong wind blew out, and Haotian was driven by the recoil force to the right and was blown away.
"Boom" The earth giant's fist fell, less than three meters away from Haotian, and the ground shook so that Haotian shook up and left the ground, and was carried twenty meters away by the remaining power of the hair dryer.
Throwing away the hair dryer that had run out of magic power, Haotian held his sword in both hands and aimed it at the earth giant.
Hair dryer? With this gadget.
Fukai manipulated the earth giant to continue the pursuit, stepped over and stepped on Haotian.
Haotian ran around the square, dodging the Earth Giant's attack, and took the time to rush up and try to attack the Earth Giant's feet.
Dale Flinka was sharp enough to chop one foot off, but the Earth Giant took damage and absorbed the surrounding rock and soil to repair itself. Unless it is destroyed with a single blow of sufficiently strong magic, it can repair itself.
Louise's explosion should be fine, and Haotian stopped attacking and concentrated on dodging the Earth Giant's attack.
The surrounding figures were gone, leaving the earth giants and Haotian in the square with a radius of fifty meters, fighting like ancient Roman fighting beasts.
Fukai was secretly annoyed, this guy's movements seemed to be much more agile than last time. The earth giant hadn't been able to hit him for so long.
"Huh-huh-" Haotian continued to exercise violently, the wounds on his body cracked, and the injuries from the previous duel with Valut recurred. Red blood protruded from the white bandage, and the movement inevitably slowed down.
Opportunity. Fukai's mind moved, and the earth giant struck first, roaring like a beast, and the rocks that made up his right hand trembled violently, as if something was moving inside and about to rush out.
A violent punch enveloped Haotian.
Haotian stepped back as best he could, and at the same time swung the Dale Flinka forward with all his might.
"Bang bang, boom"
The earth giant's right hand burst open, and the rocks fell in all directions, and the attack range covered dozens of meters square, and Haotian inevitably had more wounds on his body that were hit by small rocks, bruises, red and swollen, and blood flowed out.
Then the earth giant's fist landed on Haotian's sword.
Dale Flinka slice through the Earth Giant's fist, but couldn't cut it. The huge force came through the sword body, and Haotian flew out backwards, smashing into a wall of the house by the square with a "bang", embedded in it, and coughing up blood.
With such a violent punch, the right hand of the earth giant was completely abolished, and it turned into floating earth and fell to the ground.
However, you shouldn't be able to move, swordsman. Kill him, Graeme.
The earth giant did not feel pain, and his right hand did not fall off and did not affect his mobility, so he slowly raised his right foot and kicked towards Haotian in the wall.
“explosion!!” Louise's coquettish cry rang out.
Finally finished the long chant and unleashed an explosive spell at the last moment.
A white light erupted from Louise's wand and sank behind the Earth Giant.
The violent explosion tore apart and destroyed the earth giant from the inside, and the ten-meter-high earth giant exploded outward, shattering the rocks and soil into powder and being blown away by the blast wind.
"Ahem" Fukai in the shadows was attacked by a few mouthfuls of blood after the earth giant was destroyed by force. That's, Louise Zero?!
Furke watched in disbelief as the white light emitted by Louise destroyed her powerful third-level magic. Moreover, in Rochelle's special environment, the earth giant should be twice as strong as usual, and it was completely destroyed with a single blow.
Thinking of Valut's strange attachment to Louise, Fukai seemed to understand something.
"Nothingness, it's all monsters." Hidden in the darkness, Fukai had no intention of continuing to attack, and fled far away, evading the search of the city guards with her experience as a thief.
Louise ran to Haotian's side, her face slightly pale.
"Hey, Haotian, are you okay. I, I'll pull you out. "Eagerly, with a crying tone. Clumsily grabbed Haotian's foot embedded in the wall and pulled it out.
"It hurts, it hurts." Haotian screamed, smiling bitterly. "Wait for the others to come."
Louise was a little downcast.
"Good job, if it weren't for you I would have been killed. Lois. Haotian praised.
"Really?" Louise looked up, a look of pride, self-confidence, and suspicion.
"Really. Louise is already very powerful. Haotian affirmed.
Louise pride, "Well, that is. I'm already amazing. ”
"So, Haotian can rely on me more."
"Huh." Haotian couldn't help laughing, did he have such a thought. "Got it, Louise's power is my power, and I'm not welcome."
"Oh."
The people of the city guard felt that they knocked off the walls around Haotian with their scabbards to loosen him and carefully put him down. The two were then asked to leave to provide oral and intelligence information on the attack.
The two did not see the attacker from beginning to end, and could only describe the situation in as much detail as possible. It's just that Louise's Void Explosion Magic said that it was a triangular-level fire magic that prevaricated and didn't attract too much attention.
The two were released at noon the next day.
When he returned to the hotel, he saw Valut's grim face.
"We're on a mission, don't cause trouble." He said coldly.
"We're the ones who were attacked. It's strange, who would attack us? Haotian said innocently.
"I don't know. Tonight's trip is no problem, right? ”
"Well, if you don't have the strength for a while, it's up to you, Guard." Haotian's injuries became serious, his body was covered with bandages, and his face was pale.
Valut smiled proudly, "Don't worry, I'm a Quartet-level magician. Like the magician who attacked you, I can fight two. ”
"yes, that's good." Haotian returned to the room.
Louise glanced at Valut, stopped talking, and chased Haotian to Haotian's room to serve the injured Haotian.
Valut also returned to his room.
Take off your hat and sit down in a chair.
"You're doing a good job, Fukai."
In the corner of the house, Fukai walked out and said with a coquettish smile: "After all, it's Rochelle." ”
"But Louise's magic to destroy my earth giant is terrifying." There was a hint of horror and fear in his eyes.
Valut's eyes lit up. "Louise? Really. ”
"Don't tell anyone about Louise. Do you understand? Sink your face, Valut said.
Fuke looked at him for a moment, "What about Lord Kolomwe?" ”
"Don't tell me either." Valut said coldly.
Fu Kai paused for a while, and then smiled dumbly: "You actually, I know." Let's see how far you can go. Valut. ”
"Hmph." Valut snorted coldly and silently poured his wine.
