Chapter 473: Assassination and Physical Arts
The laneway is very narrow, and the road in the middle can barely accommodate two carriages in parallel, and now because the other party's carriage is stuck in the middle of the road, Lin An's carriage can't pass.
"Is Master Lin in the car? That's a coincidence! ”
Before the other party's voice sounded, Lin An would never have thought that he would see Rodier here again.
With the identity of the other party, if you want to see Lin An, it is much more convenient to send a formal invitation, even if Lin An is not happy, for the sake of the fellow honorees, you have to give Rodier face.
It seems that this meeting was really an accident, of course, it cannot be ruled out that Rodier gave up the official channel and did not leave, and preferred to play the wrong way, his arrogance is famous, and it is not impossible to do this kind of thing.
The door opened, footsteps rang out, and the sound of hard heels buckling against the stone slabs was clear.
Lin An couldn't hide in the car anymore, opened the car door and got down, and Johnham followed. Then the two saw the carriage of Rodier, with the left half of the wheel on the outside, and the transverse axis seemed to be broken, and the guard acting as a coachman was calming the barking horses.
Rodier had already walked to the front of Lin An's carriage, and when he saw Lin An appearing, his eyes lit up and he sped up a little pace.
I have to say that he is not bad-looking.
The long figure is wrapped in expensive fabrics, the bangs that are not inferior fall in front of the forehead, the light gray and blue eyes are very exciting, so that the two thick sword eyebrows are not evil, and the corners of the mouth are a little childish innocent smile and the aristocratic demeanor revealed by gestures, making him look dashing, no wonder he was widely popular with unmarried girls before the engagement, he does have the capital to linger in the flowers.
But Lin An has seen too many beautiful men, and the usual contact is not inferior to the other party's men, and Rodier's family background is not attractive to her, so Lin An does not have any special feelings for her.
She got out of the car and watched the other party coming, Rodier's movements were clearly about to kiss the hand, and Lin An's brows were not furrowed. In the afterglow, I saw a faint but resolute reflection, and the oblique stab came out!
Lin An and John reacted almost simultaneously, one attacking the coachman who suddenly turned into an assassin, and the other casting a spell that caused a thin ice cube to float on the blade of the toxin-smeared dagger!
And one person reacted faster than they did!
Rodier sensed the danger at the same time as the dagger stabbed, because the distance was too close, almost the length of an outstretched arm, he only had time to tilt his head, and his upper body fell as quickly as a heavy iron stone, and the dagger that originally attacked his neck only cut through an inch of air around his neck, and the dagger blade made a short and small cracking sound.
Rodier seems to have practiced some kind of special physical technique. The upper body is folded horizontally in a way that does not conform to the human body, but the calf joints of the lower body can still exert force, and one leg supports the ground. The other leg was raised like a viper, and the toe was fiercely pointed at the crotch of the coachman assassin, and the whole body was completely twisted into a strange position!
The Assassin was also frightened by Rodiel's strange counterattack, and only had time to turn a slight arc before Rodiel touched his thigh. The whole person shook like an electric shock in severe pain.
However, the assassin was still able to fend off John's attack with his backhand in the midst of severe pain, but his wrist movements were visibly stiff because Lin An's frost rays spread from the dagger to his forearm—Lin An's mental power was so powerful that even under the suppression of the prohibition, he could still exert the closest effect to first-level magic.
So John's unsheathed sword slashed at the assassin's dagger, but the latter's forearm clicked and snapped!
But the situation of Lin An and others has not improved much.
Three masked figures appear at the head of the wall. Three waves of fierce crossbow arrows shot at Lin An. The opponent used a repeating crossbow, which was less than a finger long and could fire twenty arrows in a row, fanning out like a machine gun. Rodier, who shot out backwards with the power of his leg backpedal, was hit by a few of them, and his body strength was loosened, and the whole person threw himself on the ground!
Luckily, the distance he shot backwards, plus the time ahead, was enough for the guards on the other side of his carriage to arrive.
"Your Excellency!"
No one expected to be assassinated in the imperial capital, and Rodier only had one guard with him. It's the guy who talked to the coachman before. The faithful knight roared when he saw that he was too far away. The whole body flew over, and the whole person blocked most of the crossbow arrows shot at Rodiel, and the sound of crossbow arrows entering the flesh was endless!
And the remaining two waves of crossbow arrows were all shot at John, who had the strongest combat effectiveness!
Then after the chauffeur assassin who was attacked by Lin An and John was injured, he didn't retreat but advanced, and between his unbroken left fingers, he had a finger blade with a ring on the middle finger at the end, and wiped it towards Lin An!
They want to be annihilated!
Lin An immediately realized that this was a group of dead soldiers, and the assassination trap in this alley had already been prepared for them, and the target was not only Rodier!
But Lin An was not alarmed, as a mage, he must be prepared to be treated as a soft persimmon and the main target at any time in close combat, and the other party actually used a strange and dexterous weapon like a finger blade but definitely not known for its strength and speed-
A cold smile flashed in Lin An's cold eyes, and he didn't dodge but advanced, and slammed into the finger blade that was wiping towards him, as if he was going to hit his neck against the other party's blade, and when he saw the sneering coachman in Lin An's eyes, he had a bad premonition in his heart!
Click!
The finger blade that came to Lin An's neck was like hitting an iron wall made of diamonds, and the middle finger connected to the finger blade with the ring was strangely twisted!
When the pain of the ten fingers connected was transmitted to the brain, the coachman had already turned into a corpse, and the fiery red burning rays came out of his back, and the force of Lin An's fitting impact was combined with the rays, causing the corpse to be thrown in front of John's body, blocking most of the ensuing arrow rain!
John's shoulder and thigh were each hit with an arrow, even if the fighting qi in the late stage of elemental civilization could only form a thin wall of fighting qi like Rodier, the tempering of the body was not the same, and the short crossbow arrow was stuck in the muscle, not completely submerged!
Without Lin An's greeting, John knew that Lin An was not afraid of these crossbow arrows with only physical attack power, so he roared angrily, dodged over the wall, and cut off the head of the latest assassin with a fierce sword-
Blood-red blood soared high, and a stunned head covered with a black cloth rolled to the ground!
The situation flipped too quickly, and before the three waves of arrows came, the assassin definitely didn't expect that the companion who was disguised as a coachman would die in the next second at the hands of Lin An, who thought that his hand was captured, and the latter did not lose his spell casting ability at all as rumored, and they had not yet seen how Lin An avoided the attack of his companion.
Without the chauffeur to hold him back, he was killed by a companion by John, and the remaining two assassins were good at how to attack without flaws but were not good at facing the enemy head-on. As soon as he was captured by the blood of John's battlefield killing, he immediately lost the heart of confrontation, and quickly fled in different directions without saying a word.
John was accustomed to this kind of escape on the battlefield, and the deserters were scattered in far greater numbers than they were now, and he aimed his sword at the back of one of the assassins, pulled out a long burst of air, and then chased after the other without looking back, without looking at the results.
"John, stay alive."
Rodier heard a calm female voice in severe pain and looked up. Some blurred eyes still saw Lin An's dark purple robe clearly, and stopped in front of him.
John's voice was far away, and the only sound in the quiet alleyway was the breathing of his own guards. The assassination just now was short and swift, and it didn't make much noise, and the alley at the back door of the rich merchant's mansion was silent for a while.
Rodier couldn't get up and lay on the ground with his back to the sky. The hem of Lin An's robe was a few steps away from his skull.
"I swear...... I didn't see anything. The wounded on the ground told the truth, and although his voice was still low, there was a dry taste.
"I know." Lin An said lightly.
The transition from being attacked to counterattacking just now was only two or three seconds, and Rodier didn't have time to look at it at all, but as long as he was a person with a normal brain, he saw that Lin An was unharmed under the absolute disadvantage. And also on the defensive, how can you not guess the clues?
When Rodier said this, he had already guessed. And he had no intention of hiding this in front of Lin An.
Rodier seemed to be quite comfortable with this situation of "others are standing, he is lying", "Can you help me take a look at the injuries of my guard first?" ”
His injuries were not fatal, and an arrow wounded an artery in his thigh. But he used the secret technique unique to the body technique he cultivated to temporarily suppress that blood vessel, but now it is not good. Because the gushing of blood cannot be suppressed when it moves.
The guards who were blocking the arrows were probably shot in the vital part and fell unconscious as soon as they landed.
Lin An was quiet for a moment, and Rodier heard the sound of the guard's voice, and breathed a sigh of relief:
Although I don't know why this Master Lin concealed her spell-casting ability, but in Rodiel's experience, when secrets are discovered, the discoverer often ends no good, and Master Lin is willing to save her guards, at least it shows that she has no intention of killing people for this.
So he lay down on the ground in peace, and did not do any more trouble.
Lin An's bandaging is very skillful, not in a hurry with a sense of indifference that is accustomed to blood, it is this kind of indifference to bloodshed calmness that makes Rodier face up to the strength of the other party.
Because of his background, Rodier, who has reached a considerable level of knowledge, knows that sometimes, strength has nothing to do with gender, let alone appearance.
While Rodiel, who was bleeding from his body, lay on the ground and was thinking, the calm female voice sounded again, but asked a question that had nothing to do with the current situation:
"The physical technique you just used is a unique secret technique?"
Rodier was a little stunned, but what Lin An asked was not a big secret, all the nobles on the mainland with a longer history knew about this set of physical techniques of the Merlin royal family, and even because of the marriage, some of this secret skills were spread.
"This set of physical techniques is called Inpromen, and it is a secret physical technique passed down by Merlin's ancestors, do you want to learn it? I'll talk to your majesty, as long as you promise not to spread it, I can teach you ......"
"Inpromen?"
Lin An frowned, repeating this word in his heart, but he didn't gain anything for a long time, and he couldn't help but suspect that the familiarity between the physical technique and his own meditation physical technique just now was just an illusion.
After all, although similar, Rodiel's way of using it is more physical, and it is plausible to her meditative technique.
