Chapter 115: The Wind Rises on the Ground
Looking at the heavily guarded front, Zhao Xu's breath tightened slightly, but he didn't make much movement.
If he were a high-defense warrior with a little riding skill and riding a celestial horse, he would still be able to slip these guards.
But now he is better to be honest.
Although Zhao Xu is also confident that after he is equipped with mage armor and shields, his defensive ability will not be much worse than that of these guards who cover their heads tightly.
Since he became a mage and could no longer apply his previous warrior experience, Zhao Xu would unconsciously start to simulate battle scenes in the face of various scenes, and secretly analyze how he should carry out spell attack and defense.
It's just that in the face of the situation in front of him, Zhao Xu found that there was really only a colorful spray that could gamble to bring down a group of people, such as hypnotism, and the other party would not give him 1 round of time to cast a spell at all.
Zhao Xu, who had been recruited, knew that there was no point in him defeating the person in front of him, this kind of level was just the first level.
Not to mention the group in front of him, I don't know how many sentinel scouts are lurking around, and even once the iron pot in the corner is ignited, it won't take long for hundreds of people to gather here.
After thousands of years of drills, basically everyone is very experienced in this kind of layout of the front, in search and anti-search.
"The adventurer on the other side, dismount, come over, and be checked." A captain-like guard shouted loudly, and only his armor was the brightest in the room, with additional metal plates.
At the same time, there were three adventurers dressed similarly to him, all of whom were sitting in the corner with their hands tied, apparently waiting for the next wave of guards to arrive before sending them away.
However, Zhao Xu couldn't care about too many passers-by, so he directly dismounted first and stood by.
On the other side, three people walked towards him, two of them holding light crossbows, and the crossbow arrows were glowing with blue coldness, and they looked like they had been poisoned.
After Zhao Xu was promoted to level 2, he obtained the life dice of a level 2 mage, and the result of 1D4 (1-4) was 3 points, and after adding his 2 points of physique, his health increased from 8hp to 13hp, which can be regarded as a small ability.
Now the mainstream first-level mage, if you have 12 physique, it is only 5HP.
Even a level 1 warrior may not have as high health as Zhao Xu at this time.
He already has the capital to be hit by two light crossbows and not be unconscious, which is the ability that health gives them.
"Who are you? Where did it come from? Where to go? ”
The guards at the head of the guard had a grim face, for them, if they dared to appear here without going through official formalities at this juncture, they would definitely be wronged if they were all killed, but half of them would definitely be missed.
When Zhao Xu heard this tone, he suddenly thought a lot.
He has worked as a border guard at checkpoints, and he knows that if everyone is treated as a prisoner, he will get into trouble sooner or later.
His eyes couldn't help but fall into the distance, and Luo Ya probably still underestimated the difficulties of the border.
There is definitely something unknown about the changes between the Tianbei Business Alliance and Kasuo and Butan.
Zhao Xu knew that at this time, he took out the mage badge, and the other party would definitely not recognize the name of Oss in the back, but he would send him away after confirming that he was a registered association mage.
But in front of North Carolina, he definitely didn't want to think about it.
And even if you go through the Nanyu Forest to other towns, it will take three days.
Compared with the current player group, Zhao Xu has been working in Arthur for ten years, and he still knows a lot about some of the rules on the surface or in private.
He immediately pulled out the certificate issued by the Crescent Town Mage Association.
Although Zhao Xu didn't want to admit it, this letter proved that he was indeed able to wander in the wild in the Nanyu Forest.
The Tianbei Merchant Alliance, which originally surrounded and suppressed the caravan he was in, suddenly became his logistics teammate.
The leader of this guard team may not recognize the signature of the North Carolina Mage Association, but he will definitely not recognize the signature of Crescent Town, a nearby key resource supply town.
Although Zhao Xu didn't understand why the executive officer of the association still had the signature of the Crescent Town Government Affairs Department at the same time.
The county magistrate is not as good as the current management, even in Arthur.
And the three guards who came over to guard saw Zhao Xu taking out something, and they had already raised their weapons to knock Zhao Xu down.
As a result, after seeing a document, the three of them were also relieved, and their expressions were a little relaxed.
A certificate dyed with a blue cover, inlaid with gold edges, even if it is fake, the cost is not low.
The guard at the head raised his eyebrows, secretly wondering if it was the son and nephew of a big man who came to have fun.
Thinking of this, he took off his helmet, bent his originally straight waist slightly, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand towards Zhao Xu, ready to take the certificate.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, an arrow struck like a gale, and plunged straight into the eyebrows of the guard who stood at the front.
Along with it, there was also the other party's incredulous gaze.
In this way, a cold corpse fell directly, like a storm that directly swept the hearts of everyone present.
At the moment when the arrow only pierced through the center of the opponent's eyebrows, accompanied by the sound of enemy attacks and screams, Zhao Xu in addition to secretly scolding the bandits who came from to trap him like this, he hurriedly began to cast defensive spells.
At this time, he was already yellow mud falling into the crotch of his pants, not poop, but poop.
The time to cast the spell is extremely precious in this face-to-face mortal realm.
Just when Zhao Xu gritted his teeth and was about to desperately pronounce the last word of "mage armor", the remaining two guards standing in front of him, one had already turned around and fled, and the other reacted decisively and released the trigger of the light crossbow with hatred.
At this moment of chaos, the guards didn't see where the attack came from, but Zhao Xu, who was standing at the front, definitely made a mistake and didn't let go.
This is also the reason why Zhao Xu immediately cast the spell, and those who still want to explain will probably have to go back to the Creation Temple to explain to those gods.
"Bang." A second arrow rang out.
[Adventurer Midsummer, your defense check failed, and you took 1D8=3 damage.] 】
The guard's crossbow arrow hit Zhao Xu's thigh directly, and the pain directly invaded.
Zhao Xu could only grit his teeth at this time, but fortunately he only hit his thigh, and then he only cut 3hp damage.
If it hits him in the head, it's more than that.
Even if he is unlucky enough to hit the crit directly, then he can really sing the song of returning to the city with sadness.
It's just that Zhao Xu happened to be praying at the last moment of the incantation, which was not fatal, but it made the pain hit his consciousness, and suddenly even the rhythm of his original chanting was greatly disrupted.
[Adventurer Midsummer, cast a spell to focus on the test 4 (skill level) + 2 (constitution) + 4 (combat reflex) + D20 = 10 + 10 = 20, greater than the difficulty 14 = 10 (basic) + 3 (damage) + 1 (spell level), pass the test, focus on success. 】
Suddenly, from his character panel, a force directly came from the concentration skill, driving Zhao Xu's whole body to continue to maintain the spell.
This unconscious driving force allowed Zhao Xu to successfully cast a spell.
An invisible armor appeared directly on Zhao Xu's body, as solid as a rock.
Seeing that the spell was successful, Zhao Xu immediately grabbed the mount he had summoned, relied on the memory of his previous life riding skills, turned over and crossed over, and then lowered his body and pulled the horse to sprint desperately.
At this time, the warriors wearing light armor with their faces masked seven or eight meters directly rushed from afar, and they waved the scimitars in their hands and rushed towards the checkpoint, and the three people who were captured at the entrance of the checkpoint also suddenly took advantage of everyone's distraction and ran away desperately.
[Adventurer Midsummer, your defense level is level 14, and when you are attacked, it is verified as level 13, and your defense is successful. 】
With a "ding", a crossbow arrow towards Zhao Xu's back was unloaded by the power of the mage's armor.
Zhao Xu, who was running away on horseback, couldn't help but look back to see who was desperately chasing and killing him.
