Chapter 21: Cool
Rolling, blocking, and then rolling, there is no chance to attack at all......
My hands and feet are getting heavier and heavier, and the long sword has become a burden in my hand, and I may be exhausted in five minutes.
Finally dodging the opponent's three consecutive pursuits, Jim gasped for breath, he looked at the opponent in front of him who was still attacking at a steady pace, and thought a little unwillingly.
The red-haired boy was like a wolf hunting, alert and steady, without revealing a flaw, patiently consuming the endurance of his prey, ready to deliver the fatal blow that ended the battle.
I'm probably going to lose.
Will the Baron be disappointed, and will Lillian cry?
......
Adams was stopped by the Templar Trainee, who was recording the outcome of the match.
"The eliminated players, please leave the competition site, please cooperate", the trainee knight stared at the sturdy young man in front of him who dared to break the rules, and said with some displeasure.
"My lord, I still have something to take," a gruff voice came from his throat that didn't belong to him, and Adams explained angrily to the midshipman.
"What didn't you take?" the Cadet Knight's brow furrowed, and although the next round hadn't started yet, he didn't have the slightest intention of letting Adams go.
"You know, my lord, I haven't been paid by my employer, and if the nobles and nobles forget things, then I won't give it in vain," Adams was anxious.
He has been silently watching Jim's game with the corner of his eye, Jim's situation is really a bit bad, even he, a layman, can see that "Red Wolf" Sasha is cutting the opponent's physical strength with a knife, if he delays a little longer, maybe the game is about to come to an end.
So he pretended to be a scoundrel and continued to say: "If the nobles and lords really forget me as a little person, then where can I go to reason, I can only lie on my stomach in the square in front of the temple, and tell the sincere believers who come and go about my miserable situation, hoping that they will pray to Mother Earth God to seek justice for me." ”
The apprentice knight looked at Adams with disgust, these vulgar adventurers are really annoying, these nobles are really cowardly and treacherous, and the atmosphere of the temple will be corrupted by them sooner or later.
But it doesn't matter, the priest of Charlest is already beginning to reshuffle the power of the temple, and although the process is full of obstacles, sooner or later the light of the Mother Goddess will become pure again.
"Which nobleman didn't give you the money," the midshipman asked coldly.
Jim pointed to the young skinny aristocrat he had fought with the sturdy young man before, and the poor fellow who had been wronged was talking and laughing with Viscount Lyle.
"That's him, knight. ”
"Wait here, I'll call him over", the apprentice knight didn't want to have much to do with this kind of adventurer who lived in the shadows of the city, he was also a little afraid that the other party would make trouble now, after all, there were countless people in the audience watching here, if there was a joke at this time......
No, he would never allow that to happen.
"Alright, knight, go quickly. ”
Seeing the departure of the apprentice knight, Ya breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
"Osslav, it's your turn. He anxiously shouted at his wand, "Hurry up."
"No, it's too short, get closer. The little lizard shook its head anthropomorphically, "In this form, my cast range has been shortened a lot. ”
Adams took a few steps closer to Jim again, looking nervously in the direction of the midshipman.
The trainee knight was talking to the young lanky nobleman, and the young nobleman looked at Adams with some confusion, and then seemed to explain something to the trainee knight.
"Okay, no, okay. Adams raised his right hand and waved at the young nobleman, barely squeezing out a smile that was worse than crying.
"Alright," the little lizard rolled its eyes at him, and muttered something.
After half a minute, Osslav stopped chanting, and then an imperceptible white light flashed from his body in an instant, and an invisible force field shrouded the "red wolf".
Necromancy is a four-ring spell, soul extraction.
While the long cast range and the weakening of spell power in the lizard form make spells that only a great mage can cast live up to their name, they are enough to disrupt the battle.
I saw Sasha, the "red wolf" who was fighting with Jim in the distance, stumbled and suddenly fell to the ground, Jim quickly seized this opportunity, he swooped down and grabbed the spear, and the horizontal sword slashed at the opponent's neck, and then the audience erupted in a burst of cheers.
"He said he didn't owe you any money, he already paid you, adventurer", the apprentice knight had returned to Adams, he looked coldly at the "sturdy youth", and asked with some unhappiness, "Didn't I tell you to stay where you are?"
"Well, my lord, I was attracted by the battle there, and before I knew it, I wanted to go and see it. Adams scratched his head and replied a little embarrassed: "That money, it seems that the noble lord is not going to pay me, the next round of competition is about to start, then I will come back later, Lord Knight." ”
The midshipman had a headache, he frowned, and said to Adams, "Come back after all the games are over, the temple has the rules of the temple." ”
"Alright, knight," Adams almost jumped for joy, and of course he had to come back, "I won't offend the rules of the Temple." ”
Relieved, Adams walked slowly towards the passage.
Yes, I succeeded, I succeeded.
Singing a cheerful ditty, Adams returns to the door of the private lounge, where he unspells his spell and transforms himself back into his cute and charming self.
The next moment, however, Adams couldn't laugh.
The door was opened, and on the bench inside lay the sturdy young man who was still unconscious, and beside the young man, a middle-aged man wearing the standard priest's robe of the Mother Earth Temple was sitting and checking something, and when he saw Adams coming in, the middle-aged man raised his head, and then stared at him coldly.
"Necromancer, you have a two-ring spell flesh imitation on you, let's say, disguise yourself as someone else and try to infiltrate the temple, what is your purpose," the man's voice was warm and flat, but it sounded like a bolt of light to Adams's ears.
It's over, it's really over this time.
There was only one voice left in Adams' head now, and that was, Run!
