Chapter 176: Poisoning (Part II)
"Hmph! You're as arrogant as the rumors say!"
One of them, dressed in a dark red cloak, sneered and removed the hood from his head, revealing a face that was extremely impressive.
There is no doubt that she is a woman, and she is also a very beautiful woman, especially with two deep and vicissitudes of life, as if she has seen through everything in the world, exuding incredible charm from the inside out.
However, Zhang Cheng noticed not only the beauty and temperament of the other party, but also the ruby hanging from the end of the necklace around his neck.
The powerful magical power contained there is that only the blind cannot feel, and even the more sensitive ordinary can perceive how unusual this gem is.
After a moment's hesitation, he immediately curled the corners of his mouth and teased in a slightly playful tone, "Priestess of Lahlo, you don't happen to be Melisandre, do you?"
"Melisandre? No, don't compare me to her. I am the first follower of the Lord of Light and the most faithful servant, and my faith in him is as tenacious as steel. The woman said as she walked slowly forward.
Without any armor or weapons on her body, she didn't seem to be afraid of possible hand-to-hand combat.
"First follower, you're Jinwala!" Zhang Cheng's pupils suddenly contracted.
If there is anyone who appears in the entire A Song of Ice and Fire story, who has the most mysterious sense and the strongest magical ability, it is by no means the witch in red who occupies a lot of space - Melisandre, but the first priestess of Rahlo in front of her.
Because no one knows how long she lived, and there are no books or rumors about how she became a sacrifice to the Lord of Light, the only thing known is that the religious belief system of the Lord of Light began to spread with her appearance.
"Oh, you know my name!" Kinvara raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"Of course, I know not only your name, but also that you've been keeping an eye on Daenerys. Can you tell me, why don't you stay in Valantis and wait for the so-called Prophecy Child, and come to King's Landing?" Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes and said tentatively.
Ginvara gently stroked the ruby necklace hanging around her neck, and replied with a smile: "Don't you need to ask? Aren't all the facts already in front of you? I'm here to kill you." Don't worry, I'm moving fast, and you'll choke before you even have time to feel the pain. ”
"Hahahaha! Kill me, are you sure?" Zhang Cheng laughed insolently.
Perhaps a few hours ago, he would have had to tread cautiously in this situation to prevent the little arcane energy he had left from running out.
But now, not only does he have an abundance of new energy in his body, but he can also absorb it from the air around him, and with the various powerful and damaging spells invented by the Magic Kingdom of Dalaran, even if he destroys an army alone, there is no problem.
Powerful!
He had never been more confident that his power would be able to defeat all enemies in his path!
It may be that in the Magic Earth and Azeroth, his strength is only at the middle and lower levels, but in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, no one can defeat him except for the huge dragon sealed underground and unable to leave.
"Aha! Looks like you haven't noticed it yet, have you?" said Kinvara leaned forward slightly, a mocking expression on her face.
"What do you mean?!" Zhang Cheng subconsciously felt that something seemed to be wrong with the situation, and immediately frowned.
"Feel your body and try to use those fun magic ......," Kinvara continued in a cat-and-mouse tone.
Without any hesitation, Zhang Cheng hurriedly tried to extract energy to shape the spell form.
But at the moment of extraction, he suddenly found that for some reason, he couldn't control the energy stored in his body, as if something had cut off the connection between him and the energy.
"Damn, what did you do to me?" Zhang Cheng asked loudly as he resisted the urge to draw his magic sword and cut the other party in half.
It was the first time since he had acquired his magical ability that he had lost his ability to cast spells, and his heart was full of tension and anxiety.
Jinwala shrugged her shoulders triumphantly, "It's nothing, I just added some special ingredients to the bowl of soup you just drank." Remember to always be humble in the presence of the Lord of Light, who has a power that you will never be able to reach. Okay, that's all the chat, I'm going to kill you. Don't get me wrong, on a personal level, there is no contradiction between us, but you are an uncertain factor, and I must eradicate you to ensure that the prophecy will come true. ”
"It doesn't matter who kills whom! If you think that without magic I am a lamb to the slaughter, you are very wrong. Zhang Cheng slowly pulled out the Soul Restraint Envoy from his waist and prepared for battle.
To be honest, if he could, he really didn't want to release the full power of this magic sword, and every time he released it, he could clearly feel that his consciousness and way of thinking would move closer to a darker direction.
In other words, the sword will unconsciously erode the soul, making it more sinister and evil.
"No, you're wrong, I never meant to despise you. On the contrary, I value you very much, so I brought a helper with me. With that, Kinvara gestured to the people blocking the other side of the alley.
Without saying a word, the latter immediately drew a short sword that was blazing with blazing fire and launched a dash at great speed.
Because of the quick relationship and the red cloak, his whole person was like a raging flame.
"Look for death!" Zhang Cheng was not confused by the fiery red scene in front of him, and suddenly raised his long sword and made a straight stabbing motion.
He believed that the enemy's short sword was certainly not as long as his own, so if he stabbed him, the opponent would be the first to be injured.
But when the man in the cloak rushed closer, he realized how wrong he was......
I saw that the sharp blade of the Soul Envoy pierced into the opponent's body, and a dazzling flame came out, and then the sword body passed through unimpeded, without any hindrance at all.
But the fiery dagger in his hand was getting closer and closer, reaching his fragile throat.
As a mage, Zhang Cheng quickly realized that the mysterious guy in front of him was not a human at all, but an aggregate of some kind of fire element.
He made a quick decision, did not continue to choose the grappling, and rolled on the spot twice to avoid the fatal part.
Even so, his shoulder was badly burned and smelled burned.
To make matters worse, the burn was not painful at all, which meant that there was probably some unknown toxin in the flames......
