Chapter II
"Who is this? Isn't your leader the old bureaucrat who fainted in an awkward robe?"
Roynara was a little confused. The man looked to be in his thirties, dressed very ordinarily, and looked mild-mannered, standing at the edge of the crowd, not the leader of the envoy's team from any point of view, but a few words made the fierce-looking dwarf get out of the way.
"Ah, that's... Mr. Liu... Yes, call him sir. Feng Yinqiu thought about it, and for a while he really couldn't find the corresponding word for the title 'Dao Chief' in the European language. If the Taoist priest of the Five Elements Sect can be said to be a mage, and the reluctance of the Zhengyi Sect can be said to be a priest and priest, but the True Martial Sect only worships heaven and earth to refine the Inner Dan, like the Taoist sect and the martial arts sect, it can be regarded as a 'person of the Tao' in the true sense, in the words of the past, the old priest is 'a person who pursues the truth', but it is not easy to use it in the title.
"He let the underwhelmed dwarf get out of the way, is he planning to surrender? It's your bodyguard, and the rest of the soldiers and guards are waste. Roynala held it in front of his eyes, and a faint light curtain flashed between his short index finger and thumb, and he shook it at General Chen.
"That's General Chen, a soldier who has led troops to fight against barbarians on the frontier, the military leader of this envoy team, and of course the leader of the guard. Ah, you're a very simple reconnaissance spell, isn't it? Feng Yinqiu looked at the light curtain on the tips of Roynala's fingers, and easily discerned the general meaning of this spell, which was just a very superficial and low-level small spell.
Roynala was a little speechless about this young Western man who was not about to be arrested, but he had to admit that as the only person he could communicate with, this young man who claimed to be a mage was not annoying, there was a strange sense of intimacy and vitality, and a very familiar attitude was not offensive. He casually explained: "Life perception, it's just a zero-ring trick, a gadget invented by the guys of the Necromancy. β
"Can you use a more advanced spell? This zero-ring trick doesn't seem to have any effect on the casting network. β
"Shut up. Don't forget that you are a translator, young man, please do your duty and tell that Mr. Liu that his decision to stop General Chen from planning to surrender was correct, and no one wants to see unnecessary casualties, does he? But he should have come to me, not to Vice-Captain Jones. β
Feng Yinqiu shook his head: "But he doesn't want to surrender." He asked me if I had to fight to end the dispute, and I said yes. So he decided to get his hands dirty. β
"What do you mean?" Roynala froze.
"Because if he had done it, there would have been no unnecessary casualties. You're not wrong about that. Feng Yinqiu smiled.
In the few breaths that the two were talking, Liu Xuanying had already walked in front of Vice Captain Jones, but Vice Captain Jones was already sweating profusely.
At the beginning, Deputy Captain Jones only looked a little surprised when he saw this seemingly young Westerner walking towards him, and replaced the long sword he held in one hand with both hands, and then stood sideways, but Liu Xuanying only took two steps, he immediately took a step back and changed to a more guarded posture, and then Liu Xuanying took a few more steps, the surprise on his face gradually turned into shock, and he stepped back and changed to a posture of the sword. Liu Xuanying always maintained that unhurried pace as if he was walking, but Vice Captain Jones kept retreating and constantly changing his posture with his sword, and when Liu Xuanying came to him, his serious and old-fashioned face was already covered with sweat, and his eyes bulged out and stared at the seemingly harmless and weak Westerner in front of him, his eyes were full of surprise and fear.
"What the hell is this?Is this a Western-specific intimidation spell?" The other swordsmen had already been stunned, and Roynala was also puzzled, and even shouted at the retreating vice-captain, "Jones, what are you afraid of? What about your loyal belief in the Guardian Hand? Your confidence in your swordsmanship? Isn't that enough for you to resist a small Western sorcery?"
I don't know if he felt that he could no longer retreat, or if the shout of the port governor inspired his courage, an angry shout burst out of the mouth of Deputy Captain Jones, the long sword in his hand suddenly swung forward, but in the blink of an eye, the sword light that erupted from the fighting spirit flashed as if it could cut everything to pieces and swallow everything, and the deck fragments flew everywhere in the piercing cracking sound, and this sword actually cut off the small half of the ship that was close to him, and a large piece of wood slid down into the sea, and everyone could feel the vibration from the deck under their feet.
But this sword did not slash Liu Xuanying, who was close in front of him. Liu Xuanying acted as if he hadn't moved, and the sword that seemed extremely powerful to others just grazed his side, and the turbulent air currents and aftermath shredded all his sleeves, revealing the slender arms that didn't look like muscles and muscles underneath. Then Liu Xuanying reached out and gently pushed Captain Jones's chest, and Captain Jones immediately flew out like a crossbow arrow.
There was a muffled thud, and Captain Jones crashed into a small cabin at the bow of the ship, and then he didn't fly out directly, but fell on the deck and was silent.
There was silence on the deck, Roy Nala, his clerks and the more than twenty swordsmen all looked dumbfounded, stunned and did not move, after a few breaths, the two swordsmen suddenly let out a shout, waved the long sword in their hands and rushed towards Liu Xuanying, with these two leaders taking the lead, and the other swordsmen also rushed up. In their opinion, the captain who knocked out them by the Westerners was somewhat by luck, and Captain Jones himself was inexplicably absent-minded. And in any case, this is the port of Osstar, and they have no reason to retreat.
Seeing these more than twenty big men rushing towards him, Liu Xuanying did not appear to be flustered, as if he was more relaxed than when facing the Jones Holy Warrior, he reflexively walked towards these swordsmen who rushed towards him, grabbed the wrist of a swordsman and threw it backwards, and the swordsman immediately fell out and rolled on the back deck unable to move. Then he grabbed the other one and threw it away, and this person was immediately thrown behind and couldn't move.
The swordsmen roared and shouted angrily, and several dozen long swords slashed and slashed at Liu Xuanying from different angles at the same time, but as if they had practiced countless coordinated performances, their attacks could only pass by his side just right, and they couldn't even touch the corners of their clothes, Liu Xuanying just grabbed and threw them with both hands at will, as if he was just facing a group of rag dolls, but in a few breaths, the more than twenty big men of the port guard were all lying down in a corner on the deckγ
"It's... This isβ" Roynara looked at the swordsmen of the Guards who had been fierce just a few seconds ago, and they didn't lose consciousness, they just stuttered and stared angrily, but they couldn't even move a little finger, as if they had been knocked off their joints by just one fall. He subconsciously looked at it again with the spell of life detection, but the aura of the spell around Liu Xuanying seemed to be no different from an ordinary person. "The second level of life energy? just an ordinary person? How is this possible?"
"This zero-ring trick is very simple, it is just a simple reaction to the breath of life. And Mr. Liu has a very good control over his body and vitality energy, and he will not leak a little, so this simple spell can't tell his strength or weakness. Feng Yinqiu casually explained in simple and ordinary words. The True Martial Sect's Inner Dan method is the first in the world, and even the slightest movement of the blood and qi around the body can be done at will, and this simple Euro spell is of course not the slightest clue.
"Is that so? yes, there are some high-level lurkers who can dodge detection spells," Roynala muttered, and took a few steps back to stand on the side of the ship. Although everyone he brought with him, except for one of the clerks, was already lying there, he didn't have much panic on his face, and shook his finger at Feng Yinqiu, saying, "Okay, I admit that it was wishful thinking for the Port Guard to arrest you, but you don't think that this is the end of it." The paladins and priests of the major temples are still left, and there is also a group of knights of the Northern Legion in the Viscount's mansion, and I have already used the text message technique to alert them. β
"Oh, the text message, is it the spell from the ring on the finger of your left hand just now? It seems to be much more sophisticated than the detection spell just now, it shouldn't be a zero-ring trick, right?"
"It's the Two-Ring Arcane!" Roynala was a little angry, a little crying, and a little surprised at this untimely question, this young man who called himself a mage actually had such a keen arcane sense, could it be that the primitive spell system had been tempered?" "I'll say one last time, if you don't want to suffer, you'd better surrender immediately. Even your most powerful Liu will definitely not be their opponent. β
"I said they wouldn't surrender. Appreciate their dignity as an imperial envoy. Feng Yinqiu sighed. "Also, the most powerful person in this envoy group is not Mr. Liu. β
"Oh, who is that?" Roynala's wary gaze circled the crowd over there.
"It's me. Feng Yinqiu said lightly.
"You?" Roynara jumped onto the side of the ship, looking at the young man in front of him with a wary face, although the young man did not show any hostility, the feeling of danger that the greatest threat had always been around him still made him break out in a cold sweat.
On the other side, under Liu Xuanying's kneading acupoints, Lord Li Wenmin finally woke up leisurely, but just after waking up, he immediately continued the anger just now, looked at the swordsman lying on the deck over there, and pointed at Roynara and shouted: "Take it! Take it! Take down all the Fanyi who have violated the power of my court! If you don't kill all these people who don't know how to be polite and disrespectful to your lord, how can you wash away such a shame!"
Roynala couldn't understand what Master Li was shouting, but the attitude was easy to feel, and he reached behind his waist and pulled out a scroll of 'chain lightning' in his hand. The position of Harbor Governor is not something that can be done by staying in the office all day, drinking tea and signing signs, and it is always inevitable to deal with port gangs, thieves' unions, pirates and even fishmen.
"Don't be too nervous, not many people really take this kind of anger of the old bureaucrats to heart, at least not Mr. Liu and I. What you have in your hand is... Unleash the spell's... Scrolls, yes? Looks a lot more clever than the SMS technique just now. Interesting, can you show me?"
This was certainly not the time to answer such nonsensical questions, and Roynala's only response was to directly activate the scroll in his hand. The runes and energy on the scroll directly extracted the spell formula fixed in the magic net, and the scroll turned into flying ash and at the same time, a dazzling electric light was derived from the void, and it struck directly towards the wind and autumn.
This is a four-ring-high plastic arcane that can roast ten large buffaloes gathered together half to death, and is one of the killer weapons of the port governor to save his life. Although he didn't have any ill feelings towards the young Westerner in front of him who claimed to be a mage, he had no interest in being taken hostage by a group of Westerners, so once he made a move, he was the strongest scroll.
As the scroll was activated, Roynara jumped back towards the gangplank without looking, silently reciting the prayer of the Storm Goddess, and a faint sound of thunder could be heard in the already cloudy sky. This group of Westerners does not seem to be as easy to deal with as he thinks, he didn't expect that one scroll to bring down all the people on that deck, but as long as this scroll can cause chaos and hinder him to complete the 'Storm Prayer', near this seaside temple, the divine power of the Storm Goddess can definitely give these Western barbarians a long time to see.
But as soon as he glanced ahead, Roynara almost stared out his eyes, and even stopped chanting the silent prayer, fortunately this was not a high-level arcane art, otherwise just such a spell would have made him unable to eat and walk.
On the deck, the young man who claimed to be a mage had not been struck down by lightning, there was not even a trace of an electric shock on his body, and the other Westerners who were not far from him were not in the slightest, only a dazzling electric light in his hand beating. Although the shape was completely different, the instinct of the mage and the Storm Goddess's patron, Roynala could tell at a glance that it was the chain of lightning he had unleashed.
Catching a four-ring arcane with his bare hands?Roynara wondered if it was time to go back and brush up on the basics of the arcane arts, starting as an apprentice.
On the dock in the distance, some people were watching the commotion here with curiosity, and they were talking to each other. The Governor of the Harbor and a group of swordsmen of the Guards went menacingly to find trouble with the people on a huge ocean-going ship with strange shapes, which many people have seen, and even if the harbor is still full of devastation, there is still no shortage of idlers watching the excitement. However, most of them were wise to keep a certain distance, and did not want to get into any trouble at this sensitive time, so they could only vaguely look at the general situation.
But there are clever exceptions, a little man standing on a box of goods is looking with relish with a telescope, and from time to time he smiles as if he were watching a playful play. Occasionally, the surrounding bystanders cast envious glances at the telescope in the guy's hand, shouting for him to borrow it, but the little man ignored it. The person who could afford this alchemical item was unlikely to be a civilian, and the guy had the hat of a port clerk on his head, and no one bothered him.
Suddenly, the little man who was looking at it happily was stunned, put down the telescope and rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, and then raised the telescope probe again to look over there, and the smile on his face was all gone, as if he had seen something incredible.
"Huh, look over there, Lord Gawain, the guardian hand, is coming here, and he is running in a hurry, is there something going on here?"
"Look at the heavens, the two storm sacrifices have also come. β
"The Templar Knights of the Sun Temple have also been dispatched. It seems that even the Sunlight Radiance is lit up over there, what's going on? Could it be that the cultists are back again?"
The surrounding onlookers suddenly became noisy, and at the same time, several breaths of different natures, but all of them were extremely powerful, approached here from all directions, and the little man cut in his mouth, put down the binoculars stupidly, looked around, jumped off the pile of goods and got into the crowd and disappeared soon.
