Chapter Eighty-Nine
The sharp pain in his hands and feet was like two spikes piercing his brain, as if he were about to pierce everything inside. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The female mage, who was caught off guard, couldn't help but scream loudly.
But as a specially trained Revival mage, Stephanie was the first to see the situation clearly with her eyes, which were already bursting with tears. It was a large underground laboratory, with a lot of undead alchemy tools similar to those outside, and a group of hideous-looking and gray-faced men were surrounding her, it was the same group of mercenaries from before.
And the most striking thing is undoubtedly a glowing object floating in mid-air. It was the object that had been the centerpiece of the elemental space before, a strangely shaped Rubik's cube made up of cubes.
"What is this?" It was obviously not just her who noticed this, but the mercenaries around her. The bearded warrior who looked a little stupid walked up and reached for the Rubik's Cube.
"Fool, don't move!" the fat man Stanley immediately shouted, and the features on his fat face twisted into a ball of panic. "That's probably a very advanced arcane prop, don't you see how this bitch came out?
Fortunately, the bearded man withdrew his hand in time and smirked twice. Fat Stanley wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, lowered his head again to look at the female mage on the ground, and smiled viciously: "Okay, Master Motri, can you please tell us what it is? Are you surprised that we weren't killed by your damn self-detonating golem? Since you dare to use such despicable and shameless means to frame us, then don't blame us for being unkind to you." ”
Stephanie gritted her teeth, enduring the sharp pain in her hands and feet that almost made you faint. Of course, she was not surprised that these mercenaries were here, and even the ambush was expected, these people seemed to have the advantage in a smug manner, but in fact they were nothing more than ants in her plan. All she needs to do now and the only thing she can do is to endure.
"Hey, you two pay attention, and search for any props or scrolls on her body. As long as she has the slightest sign of wanting to use the scroll, she will take a weight on her hands and feet, and you don't have to worry about hurting her, it doesn't matter if she faints or is crippled, just don't die. Fat Stanley skillfully instructed his two men to search the female mage, stood up and looked left and right: "By the way, what about Phil? Did anyone see that guy? Didn't he come in with this bitch?"
"I don't know, I don't see it. It can't be hidden somewhere, right?"
"Why do you want to hide it? I don't see anything to hide here. ”
"Was it just that he was taken in that thing with this bastard woman? Only this bastard mage came out, he couldn't have been killed inside, right?"
The mercenaries walked around the laboratory with torches, and indeed found no trace of the orc rangers, and shrugged their shoulders.
"Hey, Mage Motri, where's our good brother Phil?" Fat Stanley stared at the female mage who was being searched. "That guy has a strange temper, but he's a well-known guy in our business, and you're going to kill him? ”
Stephanie gritted her teeth and said nothing, she couldn't say anything and didn't need to say anything.
"Why are you searching so slowly, are you afraid of scratching her skin?" Seeing that the female mage just gritted her teeth and said nothing, and the cold sweat on her head and face was like rain, the fat man Stanley pushed away a mercenary who was searching her, and he stepped forward and ripped off Stephanie's leather armor and clothes with a few handfuls. "There are hundreds of thousands of treasures, using that golem to plot against us, you want us to be free cannon fodder? The revenge of our brothers who were killed by you is not something that can be compensated with your own life. It's okay if you don't speak, I'll let you come and have fun with us now. ”
The female mage's snow-white skin was exposed to the air, and the shaking fire made her body even more snow-white and attractive, and you could clearly see the tiny pimples wrinkled on the delicate skin because of the cold air underground. The mercenaries around them were all breathing heavily, and the sound of swallowing saliva came and went.
"Hahahaha, Ms. Motri, your figure is really attractive. It's not much worse than those high-end bitches who need a dozen gold coins to sleep with. I'll be the first to come, you wait... Ah, I forgot, it's possible to come three at the same time, hahahaha. You guys guess and decide. Fat Stanley laughed, his short pants bulging high, and he looked like a clay doll with a unique shape. "Report back to the findings here... Mr. above... The divided bounty will definitely be enough for us to eat, drink, and be a woman for the rest of our lives. But it's hard to be a mage, so you should cherish this opportunity. ”
"Well, I've been thinking that way for a long time. Hehe, I fell in love with this Mage Motri at first sight when I first saw her, and I secretly liked her together, and I thought about her more than ten times these days. The bearded warrior also looked overjoyed, pulling his pants with one hand and reaching out with the other. "Come and guess the boxing, come and guess the boxing, whoever dares to win me, I will definitely teach him a lesson." ”
"Wait..... You wait......." On the ground, Stephanie's expression was completely distorted by fear and despair. The sharp pain in her hands and feet, the cold touch on her body, and the excited and hideous faces in the surrounding firelight were almost beyond the limits of what she could accept. In her plan, of course, she also seriously considered the situation after being ambushed and captured by these mercenaries, how to save her life, how to deal with torture, how to delay time, she was mentally prepared, and even suffered humiliation like this** She didn't think about it. Originally, she thought that for the sake of the set goal, these were small obstacles that could be tolerated or even not worth mentioning, but at this moment, the huge fear that welled up from her instinct caught her off guard, and her mind was already blank, and she couldn't help but scream and beg for mercy. "You can't do this, I'm a member of the Royal Arcane Academy, a glorious imperial nobleman......"
The only effect of such a scream in such a situation was to make the mercenaries around him happier and more excited, and the fat man Stanley first exclaimed: "Imperial nobles? Haha, what an honor." For your aristocratic sake, I'll do my best. Don't worry, Miss Aristocracy, look at me, my good friend, saluting you. ”
"yes, I've won, you all get out of here!"
"Hold her hands and feet! Fools, you can take a closer look at her!"
In the midst of the noise and strange screams, suddenly a word was round, and a voice full of air sounded very inopportunely: "One of the qualities of a righteous friend is that it will definitely appear at a just right and subtle point in time, such as when the dying ancient monster is about to take its last breath, such as when the mortally injured master is in need of help, such as when two enemies of life and death are about to come out of the dog's brain. Of course, the most appropriate, subtle and popular is to cry out for help when a beautiful woman is about to be violated, as it is now. ”
It took a second or two for the mercenaries to react in amazement and look in the direction of the source of the sound. It was at the entrance of the laboratory, and three men and one woman were already standing there at some point, three of them were Westerners, and the voice just now came from the mouth of one of the tall, muscular men with a fleshy face.
"Who are you?" said Fat Stanley, who hurriedly put on the pants he had just taken off. With just a glance, he and the mercenaries immediately noticed the only middle-aged man who was not a Westerner, and the badge on the leather armor made them both shocked and angry. "Fuck you, it's the one who guards the hand!"
"Since you have asked, then I will tell you with great mercy that standing before you is the invincible sword of benevolence, the invincible king who embodies the love and truth of the universe......" The strong Westerner-faced man was still proudly protecting himself in a loud voice, and suddenly his gaze swept over the Rubik's cube-like object that had been suspended in mid-air. The thing that no one paid attention to for the time being just quietly emitted light there, like a lighting object that the mercenaries had placed there, but now that the strong man from the West saw it clearly, the expression on his face was suddenly stunned, followed by ecstasy, and he immediately looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Hahahahaha....... Sure enough, the one that best embodies the great temperament of a righteous friend is still the only shit luck that can pick up the ultimate treasure when you go out. ”
The deafening laughter echoed in the laboratory, as if dozens of huge drums and gongs were slamming together, and the mercenaries' faces changed dramatically. This strong Westerner, who claimed to be the invincible sword of the king and the sword of benevolence, strode over, and in just two steps, he crossed a distance of dozens of meters and came directly to the suspended luminous Rubik's Cube, stretched out his big hand and grabbed it.
"Hey, what are you doing? Don't mess around, get out of here. The bearded warrior was the closest to the glowing Rubik's Cube, and hurriedly pounced and punched the strong man of the Westerners.
There was a bang. Under the firelight, many mercenaries didn't see what was going on, and the Sword of Benevolence didn't even look at the bearded warrior who pounced on him, but his arm seemed to shake slightly, and the bearded man flew out like a rag doll like a rag doll that had just been blown by the shock wave of the explosion outside, and when he hit the wall and slowly fell, the others could see that his head and face had completely become a soft bread that had been punched.
All the mercenaries were still speechless in shock, not noticing that two clouds of water were flowing from the ground to their feet before suddenly jumping up and pounced on the heads and faces of the two mercenaries who were pressing the hands and feet of the female mage. The two clouds of water seeped into the mercenary's face as quickly as they met a sponge, and then the two mercenaries suddenly fell to the ground, their hands and feet twitching like severed frogs, and their eyes rolling in a frequency and direction that a living man would never do.
"Bastard, what do you want to do? We're a peripheral unit of the Southern Legion!"
"Damn, when did the Guardian Hand become so unruly?"
The mercenary men immediately blew up their nests, and hurriedly put on pants, pantsless, and weapons with weapons. But Stanley, the fat man, as the leader, made a completely different choice, he didn't even have time to put on his pants and knelt directly on the ground, raised his hands and shouted: "We surrender, we surrender, we seek the protection of the Guardian Hand, we seek the shelter of the Guardian Hand!"
This action turned out to be very correct, and the man who clearly belonged to the hand of guardian immediately waved his hand and said to the Western woman and strong man over there, "Please stop, two of you." These people are mercenaries, and while their actions are indeed despicable, they are not yet unforgivable. They have surrendered and sought refuge in the will of the Guardian Hand, and we should not harm them anymore. ”
With a wave of his hand and words, a faint light rose from under the feet of the fat man Stanley, blocking a ball of water that was about to pounce on his head and face. The water mass lost its original cohesion under the illumination of the light, and directly turned into a piece of flowing water and scattered down.
The Westerner woman snorted coldly and didn't speak, but quickly took off a robe from her body and walked over to cover the female mage, and two streams of water flowed from the ground covering her broken hands and feet. The surrounding mercenaries saw that the boss on their side had obediently knelt on the ground, so they were very interested and did not move. Although these people are accustomed to speaking with swords and axes, they understand the importance of eyesight and brain, and the fat man Stanley can be their head not by virtue of being able to fight, and the performance of this man and a woman in the West just now fully illustrates the problem.
The coldness on his body was eliminated by the cover of clothes, and the cold sensation from his hands and feet quickly relieved the severe pain, and the water covering his body actually straightened the broken bones back into place, and then fixed them. Although this cannot be said to be cured, it is much better than before. Stephanie finally recovered from her almost collapse of horror and despair, and her eyes swept over the sudden arrival of three men and a woman, identifying them one by one. The man wearing the Guardian Hand badge is the famous guardian Gao Wen on the West Coast, the Western woman is the elemental mage Mu of the 'Qian' Imperial Envoy Corps, and the big man is the former high priest of the Vengeful Cult, who later changed his name to be the Invincible Sword of Benevolence after the impact of divine power and mental chaos, and the person standing at the end is her long-time target, the chief of staff of the envoy group.
She knew that these people were going to be here, and that was her real plan. Now that her plan has succeeded, she is safe, and her patience has come to an end.
Then the great tiredness that had strained and slackened hit her, and she naturally fainted.
On the other side, the Sword of Benevolence has already grasped the strange Rubik's Cube suspended in mid-air. But nothing happened, and there was no sign of the explosion or other arcane explosion that the mercenaries feared. The ecstasy on the Sword of Benevolence's face quickly dissipated, and he looked at the object in his hand, replaced by a hint of frustration and disappointment.
"Cut, it's not ...... Yes, too, where there are so many brainless gods unfolding. He muttered and shook his head, and threw the thing to Feng Yinqiu, who was standing at the end. "Brother Wind, can you tell what this thing is?"
Feng Yinqiu frowned and took a look, but he didn't quite understand. The throbbing of the Ten Thousand True Talisman suddenly calmed down not long ago, and at the same time, there was also the fluctuation of the extremely strong Five Elements Aura. Although both directions point here, and now it seems that this is the only one in this tomb that is most likely related to the previous movements, but it is really impossible to see the details of this thing, it is just an extremely finely made crystal utensil. He shook his head: "I don't know either. ”
"Hey, you naked mercenaries, what is this?" the Sword of Benevolence finally turned his attention back to the others. "Don't tell me it's just a lighting prop you're using to molest women. ”
"No, we don't know, we've only just come in. This should be a very advanced arcane item. We just came in with this woman. This woman is a very insidious and vicious mage. She hired us to explore the ruins, and when she found a valuable treasure, she assassinated us with an arcane trap she had planted beforehand. Adults, you must have heard the explosion before. Many of our brothers died. We're just here to get revenge on this woman. ”
Fat Stanley shook his head repeatedly. It's just that from the actions of the Guardian Hand Paladin just now, he can't regenerate the slightest thought of resistance and luck. These Westerners were undoubtedly extremely dangerous, he hurriedly tried to squeeze a little tear out of his eyes, and his voice choked up to show his innocence, but the pants that fell off made him look extremely ridiculous.
"It's useless to talk to me about anything. All I can do now is keep you safe. Leave the words of justification to the mages at the time of judgment. Gawain was not moved by this performance, and replied lightly. "I don't care where you come from or who you belong to. This is the area under the jurisdiction of the Mage Council of the West Coast, and you are here to intend to ** and kill a mage. You must be judged by the Council of Local Mages. ”
The mercenaries wailed, but no one said any more nonsense. Being caught by the high-ranking paladin of the Guardian Hand is a good result. Many people have had similar experiences. However, they didn't care very much, but with the backing of the Southern Legion, the West Coast Mage Council would not dare to execute them directly.
"What? Could it be that the meat sauce that turned into a bloody and miserable death on the spot, isn't it these ** beauties... Is it still the only fate of the attempted scum of such a beautiful woman?" "Why do you want to try such a time-wasting trial, which means we're going to escort them out?"
"The Guardian Hand will not kill, nor will it allow others to kill an enemy who has surrendered and sought refuge. Gawain replied. "We simply protect and guard, but this is not enough to support the functioning of the social order, and the trial and conviction are still left to the politicians and nobles. ”
"Narrow, narrow. Where can there be justice in politics? It seems that the way of justice in the hand you are guarding is still not thorough enough. The sword of benevolence shook its head. "But as a sign of respect for your righteous partners, I'd better listen to you and spare these guys' lives. We need these guys to tell the story they and the beautiful mage have to tell. ”
