CHAPTER IX
In a room on the second floor of the old keg, Feng Yinqiu and Gawain sat down at a table again, and Pastor Arnold naturally followed.
"Well, now I can tell you that there may be an alien mage in this Osstar City. Gawain rubbed his temples, and the tiredness on his face seemed to be a little heavier. "And it's supposed to be a very dangerous guy. ”
"If there is any situation, please tell me, Your Excellency. Feng Yinqiu made a gesture of please, just seeing that this Gawain knight had found such a private place, he understood that what he wanted to say was not just one or two innocuous news.
"This morning, a body was found at the sewer mouth of the port. The body was in a pocket with a few stones, apparently trying to sink into the sea, but unfortunately it was found after being caught in the pocket by a broken fence at the mouth of the sewer. ”
Wind Yinqiu didn't speak, and Pastor Arnold didn't show any surprise. In any city where dragons and snakes are mixed, there are gangs, nobles, and ghetto, the appearance of a corpse is not a strange thing, not to mention that the corpses produced in the cultist riots a few days ago are not a minority. Gawain looked at their calm expressions, sighed and continued, "He was killed by the mage. Very sophisticated, there was no sign of using high-level spells, just a scorching ray shot through the eye socket and killed the dead. ”
Because of the doctrine, the members of the Guardian Hand will generally become the local volunteer healers and guards to maintain order, and the few high-ranking members of the 'Guardians' are the core force among them, they will take the initiative to clear out dangerous demonic beasts, track down dangerous murderers, and in many places, they will even directly invite high-ranking members of the Guardian Hand to serve as sheriffs. Although Oss City didn't, they could still get the first detailed information after this happened.
"But how do you know it's the hand of a foreign mage? The Scorching Ray is just one of the arcane arts, and there are not a few mages in Osspark that can be used. All official members of the Rothschild family could have been the murderers. Pastor Arnold asked rhetorically.
"The deceased is a minor leader of the 'Nightblade' guild, and those scum are as filthy as rats in the sewers, but they are just as clever, and they won't be very brainless to provoke any noble mage at this sensitive time. And if it was the hands of the Rothschild family, there was no need to take such a sneaky way of disposing of the corpse, every leader of the Nightblade was full of evil, even if it was a random crime, no one would go to avenge the deceased. After a pause, Gawain added, "And the most important point is that from the signs of the corpse, it seems that the mage who started the murder is a veteran. Pastor Arnold, you should be very aware of this kind of light spell that is biased towards the solar realm, the extreme range of the scorching ray is only about half a meter, more than one meter will only cause burns, and more than three meters can only cause burns. It's not a very lethal spell, but it can be fatal in the hands of a murderer. This is not something that the pampered nobles can do, and generally they will only use the highest level of spells, whether it is scrolls or spell items, to smash at their opponents, even if it is just a goblin. ”
"You have a good analysis. In this way, it is very likely that there will be a foreign mage. Priest Arnold couldn't help but nod his head again and again, Knight Gawain, as the chief guardian of Osstar City, his sword skills are top-notch, and his vision and inference will probably not lose to anyone. "But that's all just speculation, did you ask the rest of the Nightblade?"
"How is it possible, those gutter rats will not accept our inquiry. Even the identity of the deceased was confirmed by the mouths of bystanders after several twists and turns. Gawain spread his hands. "So all I can say is that there is a 'maybe' an alien mage, and 'should' be a more dangerous guy. ”
"You told me this in the hope that I could help you find this mage?" Feng Yinqiu, who had been listening quietly, suddenly asked with a smile.
Gawain also smiled: "That's our common enemy, young man. Your men disembarked to seek healing, and though they refused to say anything, our men saw in them the obvious wounds that had been affected by the spell. And your big ship that suddenly needs to be repaired...... There's a mage coming to trouble you, don't you? I don't think it's going to be the Rothschild guys, we're going to have to get this guy out. ”
Feng Yinqiu rubbed his forehead. In all fairness, he really didn't want to meddle in the troublesome affairs of these Euros, just looking at the fact that this knight of Gawain, who was a first-class man with first-class knowledge and vision, had found a private place to say this, he knew that the matter of this so-called foreign mage was not simple.
Sure enough, Pastor Arnold asked, "Lord Gawain, is there any special reason why you still care so much about this mage during such a busy and extraordinary period?"
Gao Wen paused, nodded, and the tired color on his face seemed to become more and more intense: "This cultist riot is very abnormal, I suspect that there is a larger background and forces behind it, and this mage is very suspicious." If it's the worst-case scenario, maybe this riot is just the beginning..."
"What? Will it still be ......?"
"I'm sorry. Feng Yinqiu interrupted the conversation between the two. "I'm just trying to talk to a Euro mage, isn't there a simpler way, for example, I don't have to get involved in any conspiracy or something......
Gawain was stunned: "Don't you want to catch this murderer who destroyed your ship?"
"You should be saying 'them'. Feng Yinqiu also learned to shrug his shoulders and spread his hands. "I'm just a tourist who came to this continent by boat, a Western mage who is looking for the mysteries of spells in another continent. The previous translation work was just a boat fare, but now I think they should have a new one, so I really don't have anything to do with the ambassadors. ”
Gawain was slightly stunned, and looked at Pastor Arnold next to him with an inquiring expression, and Pastor Arnold also nodded: "Mr. Feng is right, he resigned from the translation job of the envoy corps, and now he is just alone, and he really just wants to find a mage to communicate with questions about spells." ”
"I thought you went to the tavern to get some news from your envoys. Gawain looked at Feng Yinqiu again with the eyes of a monster. "So you're really a mage? Well, you mages from the Western Continent are weird... However, this is indeed the only clue I know of an alien mage, and if you really don't want to get involved in any trouble, you can only try it with the Rothschild family. If you want me to say, the chances of them taking care of you are very low. ”
Feng Yinqiu frowned, regardless of whether he could see those noble mages or not, if it was really just some mages who could only use some low-level spells, he would not be interested. When I saw the Zero Ring spell cast by the Harbor Governor on the ship, I knew that these low-level spells were actually extremely rudimentary, and even if they were a little higher, there was no essential difference between the One Ring and the Two Ring Arcane. Only the four-ring lightning arcane that is released by the talisman, which is called the scroll on the continent, is still somewhat interesting, and if you want to further 'adapt' the talisman to this arcane network, you must at least have to be similar or similar to this arcane art. Whether it's a careful study of the process of casting spells by the Euro Mage, or just going straight to 'rubbing' the spells in the scroll in their entirety.
Needless to say, there is no chance to learn spells, those arcane scrolls must be worth a lot, and even if the Rothschild family had them, they would not take them out for no reason and use them for an unrelated alien. As for other extreme practices, such as stealing, going straight to the door, etc., this is not an imminent matter of life and death, and it seems that there is no need for such unscrupulous means for the time being.
"But we need a helping hand right now...... Young Westerners, I don't know what you're like as a mage, but as a warrior and a god, you're at least powerful. And if you can get the sincere approval of a pastor Amanta, then your character is also worthy of trust. How about you if you could help us, and our Guardian Hand Church will give you two magical items that we have collected as a thank you gift, and at the same time connect you with two high-level mages who have a good relationship with our church?"
"Really?" Gao Wen's request made Feng Yinqiu's eyes light up. He didn't want to get into trouble, and only because it was the Oro people's own trouble, and if it really helped him to learn and get in touch with the Euro spells, then it would not be a problem at all.
"Of course. Although the mages generally do not interact with the major temples, our guardian hands are somewhat different. There are always good noble mages who will agree with the teachings of the Guardian Hand, and we have a wide range of faces, occasionally collecting some arcane items. ”
"And what do you want me to help you? just to find the outsider mage?"
"Of course, that's already a difficult thing to do. If you can uncover the whole conspiracy, that's certainly better. It's not just our Euro trouble, young man. Don't forget that the Westerners who have absconded are also your compatriots. Gawain sighed heavily, and just by looking at the tired look on his face, he knew that he needed any helper he might have. "Other people don't know, they just think they're simply giving shelter to those cultists, but I know that their relationship will never be so simple. One of the leaders of those cultists was a Westerner. ”
Before Feng Yinqiu could react, the priest Arnold on the side asked first, "Westerners?" but I haven't heard the two Templars mention it. ”
"It was a cult leader who covered his face with a mask, but we heard him say a word to other people in Western dialect. If it were just this Western phrase, we wouldn't think it was a Westerner, after all, we have hardly heard of any powerful warriors among Westerners, and it is normal for those cultists to learn some Western languages in order to deal with Westerners. It was because he alone restrained me and the two Morning Light Knights that those cultists were able to evacuate successfully. I've played against him the most, so I'm very impressed with his power. Speaking of this, Gao Wen glanced at Feng Yinqiu deeply. "But when I was playing against the youngster, I noticed the exact same kind of force in him. That's something I've never found in any other warrior, except for the two of them, but he's far more blunt than the cultist leader. I guess that's a unique skill of Western warriors."
Feng Yinqiu was also taken aback, and then felt incredible. In the following battle just now, he used all his strength, not only to stimulate the power of the wolf god, but also to naturally put on the most suitable horse steps and fists. It's just that it's not a common general style on the rivers and lakes, but a secret inheritance of the sect learned from an old man, and the 'Tianhe Inverted Tilt Style' launched by the power of the muscles and flesh of the outer sect.
Since it is a secret transmission of the sect, there will never be many people who will know it, not to mention that the sect was directly destroyed by his old man. Even if it is above the rivers and lakes of Shenzhou, I don't know if there is anyone who will, how can it appear on the European continent thousands of miles away?
However, it is unlikely that Gao Wen is talking nonsense or simply misunderstood. Although the martial arts of the Euro Continent are a little superficial, there is probably no such thing as horse steps, but there will be no shortage of basic power postures and the like, this guardian's cultivation and vision Feng Yinqiu also saw it just now, to say that he can also see this kind of basic things, it is like Feng Yinqiu himself has turned the most basic five elements talisman upside down, it is absolutely impossible.
"Ahh Is it a Westerner?" said Pastor Arnold, his face was full of surprise. "I heard that the cult warrior didn't use any weapons, and he only had one arm, so he could stop the three of you strongest warriors in Osson City? It's incredibly powerful, did he borrow the power of the devil?"
Gawain shook his head: "No, it's just pure warriors, the evil gods they worship are not yet mature, and they can't give power to believers. That warrior's fighting style is very unique, very cunning and powerful, which is why there are so many people from the major churches to pursue it this time. Actually, from my personal point of view, I hope to fight this fighter head-on again......"
Gawain and Pastor Arnold's next conversation, Feng Yinqiu couldn't hear it anymore, he just looked out the window at the afterglow of the sunset. The sunset there is dazzling, and the sunset is like blood, just like what I saw when I was in Shenzhou.
