Chapter Forty-Eight: The Murderous Shadow (Part II)
It was too dark in the night, so that the thin wizard didn't notice anything wrong with the other party at all, and leaned forward without the slightest defense, his eyes widened and his voice trembled a little. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
"What did you just do, do you know where that kid went?"
"Ahem, ahem...... Yes, cough cough ......" "Tom", who was lying on the spot and dying, quietly waited for the other party to get close enough, and the voice that lowered his voice seemed to be full of seduction: "He cough cough... He's ......"
"Where?!"
The thin man who shouted couldn't help but get closer to hear it clearly. At that moment, he heard the crisp snap of his fingers very clearly, and then a white point of light appeared in front of him......
It's a firefly spell!
By the time the thin man wanted to hide, it was too late, and the dazzling white light instantly closed his vision, and "Tom" suddenly had an extra short knife in his right hand, which was unceremoniously inserted into the thin man's neck, directly cutting the other party's throat!
"Ahhh......hhh Gurg...... Gurg...... Boom......"
The terrible scream was interrupted by the sound of breaking air, and the thin man who held his throat and retreated again and again drew his wand in a panic, even though he couldn't even pronounce a spell, he was still desperately gathering gray-blue light.
Loren, who stood up, grabbed the thin man's right hand without hesitation, directly broke the opponent's arm with the hilt of his sword, and kicked the opponent into the corner.
Spellcasters with wands are dangerous at all times—not because they are efficient at killing, but because of uncertainty, which Loren hates.
The dazzling white light gradually dissipated, and the alley on the back wall of the church returned to its original midnight blackness, and the mercenary who squatted in the corner of the wall slowly opened his eyes, looked at the thin wizard who fell in a pool of blood and twitched, and the guy standing next to him wearing Tom's clothes, swallowed his saliva fiercely, and cautiously moved out of the alley.
"I don't think I said it, let you leave, right?" Loren, who slowly turned his head, said in a flat tone, "Why are you leaving so soon?"
"I'm just a mercenary, just taking money to do things. The mercenary named "Jerry" laughed dryly, but still clutched the hatchet in his hand: "We don't know anything about you and our employer. ”
"But I just killed your friend, don't you intend to avenge him?"
"In our business, it's a matter of time to lose your head. Jerry licked his chapped lips, "You let me go tonight, I promise I won't get involved again, okay?"
Loren hesitated for a moment, as if he were making a big decision.
"Generally speaking, I don't like to fight pointlessly, it's completely unnecessary. He seemed to be talking to himself: "But I'm sorry, tonight's events are completely beyond my power, and no one knows what will happen if I let you go, so ......"
"We're all blood-licking traders, this friend. Jerry's expression gradually cooled: "Why do you force people to death?"
"Don't play stupid, okay?" Loren sneered, "If I'm not mistaken, you didn't plan to leave me a living speech tonight." ”
"There's nothing to talk about. The mercenary, a little disappointed, straightened up, as if preparing to move, and then threw the hatchet axe in his hand at Loren!
Without thinking about it, Loren dodged to the side, and heard the sound of a strong wind hanging in his ears, and the sharp short-handled axe stuck directly on the wall behind him.
After standing firm in a moment, he found that the mercenary who looked thick and strong had rushed in front of him, and Loren, who instinctively reacted in his body, immediately pulled out the knight's long sword at his waist, and the bright blade of the sword was wiped with a touch of silver.
"Bell-!!!"
As if there was a tacit understanding, the two men stepped back at the same time, and the steel sword and the long-handled axe smashed into a spark.
Loren, whose right hand sank, almost failed to grasp the hilt of the sword, and there was a faint pain in his knuckles, as if he was a little bruised - he still underestimated the other party, this guy called Jerry was even stronger than he imagined!
You have to find a way to fight with the other party, Loren instantly completed his judgment, and the other party seemed to notice something, and immediately pressed forward step by step after seeing him retreat, the heavy long-handled axe was like a giant python full of fangs, as long as he knocked lightly, Loren had absolutely no possibility of counterattacking!
And Loren, the prey that keeps dodging the steel teeth of the python, waits for the slightest deviation in his judgment, the axe blade can tear through his flesh, break his bones, and then ...... Chop off his head!
The other party is indeed a real mercenary, a trader who licks blood from the knife edge, and is completely no match for himself in terms of experience, strength, and speed - by the standards of a wandering knight, he is afraid that he can hold out for a while at most, and he can only choose to flee for his life.
However, now that he is a wizard, he can completely solve it in a wizard's way. Loren, who was dodging the other party's slash again, suddenly raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
The mercenaries were clearly on guard. At the same moment, he immediately closed his eyes and lowered his body, and then stabbed the long-handled axe in his hand as a spear!
If Loren dares to take the opportunity to sneak attack, he will definitely be directly smashed by the stabbing axe. This time, though, he used the "Hover Charm".
The long-handled axe that stabbed out was "knocked away" by the sudden resistance, and Jerry, who was almost knocked down by inertia, looked up to see that Loren had jumped up like an eagle, and the silver steel sword was stabbing towards his head!
Without hesitation, the mercenary with the cold hair standing upright crouched down and raised the axe like a flag. Loren in mid-air didn't have time to stop at all, and the steel sword that hit the axe blade was directly bounced out of his hand!
Golden opportunity!
The mercenary did not miss the opportunity to disappear in the blink of an eye, and before Loren, who had tumbled to the ground, had not had time to get up, the battle axe had already stopped in front of him.
Loren, who held the blade of the axe in his right hand, took out the "bright silver" behind his back with his left hand, and stretched out his arm as far as possible to point at the other party - in the eyes of the mercenary Jerry, this was just the opponent's stubborn resistance.
Seriously, what can that pretty-looking little dagger do? Before he can stab it, he can cut off his hand with a swing of his axe!
"You forced me to do this. The mercenary sneered: "Originally, we could still discuss everything, but now we can only ask you to go to the Holy Cross and his old man's house!"
"Not necessarily. Loren, who smiled slightly, gently recited the "incantation":
"May the void be with you. ”
The "Bright Silver", as cold as moonlight, was activated instantly, and it was completely different from the last time - the reason why Loren used his left hand was because the "wand" in his hand could "optimize" performance to the greatest extent and take on excess loads that he could not bear.
The "Bright Silver" with double power is no longer the original appearance of struggling to split a wooden stake, and now it is enough to tear the iron shell on the knights!
The mercenary only had time to see a gray-blue flash, and then his heart suddenly empty, as if something was flowing out, and the right hand holding the battle axe became weaker and weaker.
In the blurred vision, the wizard apprentice was standing up, slowly lying on his back on the ground, and specially covering his eyes, and the whole world fell into darkness......
"I'm sorry. Closing his eyes on behalf of the other, Loren muttered - though the other party may not be able to hear him.
The glow of the "bright silver" faded, and a bustling noise and flickering firelight could be heard in the distance under the night. Apparently the noise had alarmed the clergy of the church.
But it seems like the movement is a bit too big. If memory serves, there are few people in the church anymore, even if you count the believers outside the door, it is impossible to have such a big posture - Loren even faintly heard the sound of horses' hooves and wheels, could it be that there are others?
The voice was getting closer and closer, and it was too late to leave, not to mention that Loren didn't plan to leave at all. Put your sword on your shoulder and wait quietly for the other person to come.
The knight with the banner of the Holy Cross stopped his horse's hooves in front of him, and was only a moment away from trampling the wizard's apprentice who had not knelt down to him. There was still some anger in the knight's expression with an indifferent expression.
"Your name, wizard!"
"Loren Turin. Loren, who withdrew his sword but did not bend down, only nodded slightly: "Sincerest greetings to the adults of the Holy Cross Church!"
