Volume 9 The Journey of Slaying the Dragon Chapter 10 Confrontation (1)
Luo Lan stood at the window and stared into the distance, the dull air and a thick cloud on the horizon indicated that a storm would come soon, and both the city and the people here would experience a real baptism. [Latest chapter reading.]
The scarlet liquor in the goblet rippled slightly, reflecting the cloudy color, as if it had been mixed with poison, exuding a dangerous omen.
Behind him, Lemon and Atociemat stood respectfully, and Athena sat on the side, looking at his back with a complicated expression, a look of mutual tenderness and confusion.
"According to my inference, the level of this Loheim swordsman is probably already at the top of the ninth order, and it may even be at the breakthrough of the tenth order. Touching the hole in his chest, Adozimad said with trepidation: "If his sword is filled with fighting spirit, it will surely tear me apart." Luckily, I escaped in time, what a fluke. It was the first time since he became an undead that he felt the fear of erasing him from this world at close range.
"It's not your luck," Luo Lan looked at the black aura oozing from his wound, which was slowly being repaired by the undead energy, and said with a faint expression: "The reason why you have picked up a life is probably because the other party intends to leave your corpse so that it is easy to find out where you came from." ”
Adozemoth thought about it, and he found that it seemed to be the case. ”
Lemmon interjected: "That swordsman named Loheim should be the most powerful swordsman under Prince Shumi, and all swordsmen have the dignity of a swordsman, and he will not stop carrying out the orders given to him by his master because he has been attacked." So I bet he'll come back to us!"
Adozemoth said hatefully: "If we gather all our men, we should be able to kill him." ”
Luo Lan stretched out his hand and waved it slightly, and said without replying: "Lemon, what do you think?"
Lemon pondered for a moment, he glanced at Luo Lan, and said loudly, "I think we should seize the opportunity when he will be here in the evening." Raid Prince Shumi's residence directly!Snatch the sword of the dragon!"
"Very good!" Luo Lan nodded appreciatively. He turned around, looked at the two people, and said coldly: "At any time, you should take the initiative in your own hands, and it is the stupidest thing to sit back and wait for death." ”
Athena slowly stood up from her seat, and she said in surprise: "At this time. Prince Shumi must have taken precautions, right?"
"Hehe," Luo Lan smiled and drank the fruit wine in his hand, he put the goblet on the table, and said, "I'm not worried about whether Prince Xiumi is already on guard, but because I'm afraid that he will know that someone is preparing to turn against him, he will change the temporary place of stay, or leave early, so before he makes a decision." I'll have to find him first!, or all the previous layouts will fall short. ”
Lemon's eyes flashed with a look of frenzy, and he said, "Mentor, that Orathor mage is not there, this is an opportunity given to us by the heavens!" He paused, waved his hand vigorously in the air, and said, "There is no better time than this!"
"That's not where the Oratha Land is," Luo Lan sat back in his seat. He tapped his knuckles on the table with a thoughtful look. "But we have to make sure he's not there 100 percent." "A space mage who doesn't know the details is already difficult to deal with, and if you go up to a high-level mage at the level of a chief monk, the chances of success are too small.
Sometimes he does take a risk, but he never loses his mind and his normal judgment.
The more you are in this situation, the more important it is to stay calm.
After a while. A smile gradually appeared on his lips. He took out a parchment roll from a drawer, then took a quill and dipped it in red ink on the table. He quickly wrote a few lines, then rolled them up and painted them, and reached out to ring the bell at his side.
The door opened, and Cedere walked in from the outside, pressed her sword, bowed, and said, "My lord, I await your instructions." ”
"Holy Czeuse, take this letter to the current residence of Priest Devany, and say that the local governor was under pressure, disregarding the dignity of the Church, and let go of the Queen of Shumi, and this person who flouted the agreement between the Holy See and the countries of the continent is the Oratha **Master, remember, this matter is very urgent. Luo Lan handed over the scroll in his hand.
Xijesi took it cautiously, she took a few steps back, and said solemnly, "Yes, my lord, I will definitely send it to Daphne Priest Land as quickly as possible." ”
Seeing that Xijesi retreated, the light in Luo Lan's eyes flickered, so that he could hold back that Olasser's hands and feet, and by the time he was freed from the questioning of Daphne and the local clergy, I am afraid that he had already obtained the sword of the dragon slayer, right?
"Lemmon, I'll leave it to you," but suddenly he seemed to think of something, and said, "Hasn't Stitch woken up yet?"
Lemmon glanced at Athena, then shook her head.
Luo Lan frowned, for some reason, Stitch entered a long sleep period on the way, and after staying in this hotel, his body formed a thick cocoon-like substance, wrapping his whole person in it. In this case, he is not a simple human being, and he has added a lot of unknown variables.
If he had been there, he would have had a much better chance of dealing with that swordsman tonight.
Lemon hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, in fact, we can leave here completely to avoid a direct collision with that swordsman......
"No!" Luo Lan categorically rejected this proposal, he waved his hand, and said, "In this case, no matter how many of us can't leave without a trace, take a step back, even if we succeed in avoiding it, he can't find a target, and he will probably turn back to Prince Xiumi's side, which is greatly detrimental to my plan." He leaned forward, paused word by word, and said, "I will take action myself, and all you have to do is to hold him back with all your might, and wait until I come back!"
Lemon bent his body down and said resolutely: "Mentor, don't worry, I won't let you down." ”
Just as Luo Lan was making arrangements, Luo Haim also brought his doubts and puzzles to Prince Xiumi.
"So, you did stab him?" Prince Shumi felt that this matter was unheard of, and felt that his question was superfluous, for he knew Loheim's sword skills well, at least he had never seen the latter miss, and the sword was as precise in his hand as a sewing needle interspersed between the cloth. If he had made such a mistake in judgment, he would have been killed and injured dozens of times.
"It's strange," Loheim frowned, the scene just now caused great confusion and confusion in his mind, he looked at his sword blade, and said in a deep voice: "I obviously stabbed him, but it didn't cause great harm to this person, he didn't even pause, and just disappeared in front of me." He made a gesture at the end, clearly haunted by the mistake.
Master Hedamic smiled lightly and said, "Maybe you didn't stab him?"
Luo Haim glanced at him coldly and said, "I am very confident in my sword skills, if he was just an ordinary person, he would have already become a cold corpse. But he didn't, he didn't even shed a little blood. ”
Mage Hedamic shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "If that's what you say, then I'm curious, what is he? an alchemical golem, summoning elementals, or an undead?"
Loheim struggled to remember every detail, shook his head, and said, "I can clearly feel that he is a self-aware creature. But that feeling did make me think for a moment that I was facing a lifeless corpse. ”
"Are you kidding?" Mage Hedamic looked stunned, he looked at the other party suspiciously, and said, "You must have met some high-level undead creature manipulated by a necromancer. ”
Loheim's face was gloomy, and he did not speak, apparently thinking that this was not the case, and he seemed to have lost his usual calm of mind by Hedamik's suspicious tone.
Prince Shumi could feel the irritability in his heart, and he smiled, "So, someone has been spying on me......?"
"No!" Loheim knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice, "Your Royal Highness, I beg you, please do not withdraw your appointment as a swordsman, and believe me, I will definitely cut off all the thorns in your path." ”
Prince Shumi stared at him, as if he wanted to say something, but he never said it, and after a moment, he let out a long sigh and said, "Well, I agree. If he refused, it was a sign of distrust of his most loyal subordinate, who he knew was derelict in his duty for having escaped his prey, and that if he was not given a chance, it would leave a knot in his heart that could not be untied for the rest of his life.
Loheim stood up and gave a swordsman salute with a "snap", his sonorous voice slamming against the wall of the room: "I swear with my life that I will bring back the honor you have entrusted to me intact." ”
Prince Shumi frowned, as a faint premonition rose in his heart.
