Volume 2 Night City Chapter 15 Interlude
"Teacher, is this forest the Eternal City?" Kirijing, who was sitting in the back of the carriage, asked.
"yes. This visit to the town of Luoyin went very well, so on the way back, we can stop by the Eternal City to introduce you to its history. Seqi said happily as he sat in the driver's seat of the carriage.
"At that time, you should listen carefully to Teacher Saiqi's explanation, it is a very important lesson, and it will be very helpful for everyone's future learning and growth." Sitting next to Seqi, a young man in silver-white armor said.
"Yesโโ!" The children behind him replied in unison.
"After this training, can we accept the commission ourselves?" Tong Jing asked excitedly.
"Not yet." Sai Qi patiently replied, "After that, Mr. Li Chengcheng and I will follow you as supervisors to complete some difficult assignments, and only if you can complete those tasks on your own can you be considered qualified." But I think it won't be long since you're growing at the rate you're growing. Let's exercise patiently for a while. โ
"Okayโ" Kiri-jing replied with a little disappointment.
Suddenly, in front of the forest path, a group of heavily armed and masked figures blocked the road.
Saiqi and Li Chengcheng immediately became nervous. They immediately drew their weapons and put on a fighting posture, highly vigilant against each other's every move, ready to fight at any time.
"We're running an adventurer training event authorized by the Guild Alliance, who are you? Dare to obstruct the important activities of the Guild Alliance? Li Chengcheng held a sharp sword in his hand and scolded loudly.
But the masked ones were unmoved, and one of them glanced at the others. All the masked men immediately besieged the carriage.
"Take the kids first! I'm going to hold them back! Seeing that the situation was urgent, Li Chengcheng immediately shouted at Seqi. Then he brandished his sword and rushed out of the carriage, "Attack: Thunder Strike!" The sharp sword qi immediately swept towards the masked people who rushed up around them, and at the same time struck the surrounding sand and rocks.
Seqi took advantage of this opportunity and immediately hurried his horse, galloped the carriage, and rushed out. But there were still constant pursuers coming behind him. "Lie down, grab the carriage, don't panic." As he controlled the carriage, Seqi drew his bow and arrows, shooting at the masked people who rushed up around him.
Suddenly, a huge fireball flew from the side of the carriage with lightning speed. With a loud bang, the body exploded, and the whole carriage flew into the air, crashed into the towering ancient tree on the side, and fell to the ground. When Seqi was thrown to the ground, she immediately rolled over and jumped to her feet, trying to rush back to the carriage to check on the children. But before she could stand still, a black battle axe struck her, and she quickly ducked to dodge, a barrage of arrows from behind her from the dead end of her vision, through her armor, and she staggered a few steps and nearly fell to the ground. At this moment, a shadow shockwave came from the side, and Seqi immediately dodged sideways, and the shockwave flashed across her forehead, breaking the thick tree next to her. At this moment, the figure in front of Seqi swung the great axe and swept it to her longbow, knocking her out of the way. Before Seqi could get up as she was rolling on the ground, a blood-red sword fell from the sky and stabbed her back shoulder. With Seqi's cry of pain, a stream of blood gushed out with the sword.
As the sun sets, the forest regains its deathly tranquility after a brief period of tumult and wailing.
