Chapter 106: Raven Prophecy IX
The footsteps seemed light and slow, passing between the different windows divided by light and shadow, Luo Yu occasionally stopped, holding his staff, standing by the window to listen to the sound of the long horn from outside. The stern and straight tone, hoarse in the cold weather, seemed to almost change the tone.
"Raise the Bow ——!"
The Commander raised his right hand, and the long crowfeather cloak slid gently down from his silver-gray shoulder armor. He raised his hands straight and pointed in the direction of the inn, his gloomy gaze under his helmet like two sharp swords. The knights behind him chanted in unison: "Praise the Adanrian, praise the Lord of the Storm!" ”
The mercenaries reluctantly shouted a few words behind them, but they didn't really care about this harsh winter, and they didn't care about everything, only the bloodstained money that fell into their pockets.
The crossbow in his hand was raised, and the winch was pulled open, making a uniform sound, and the white gas that spewed out of the mercenaries' mouths was lingering and rising, forming a white mist. Behind it, rows of cold, flickering crossbow bolts were inlaid with a crystal that shone with a flame-colored glow.
Seeing this, the adventurers in the hall got up and took a step back. The Ravental Knights formed a line, and they were retreating in an orderly manner, picking up their fallen companions to the ground. And Maye fought with a sword in one hand, silently watching these people, and did not stop them, she would not attack these people who had lost their ability to resist.
"Wait, you can't escape...... "The chief knight, who was holding the bar step by step, coughed, raised his head and looked in this direction with pity, "...... Don't forget, there are also our people at the altar of the resurrection. ”
But Maye just looked at each other, unmoved, and there was not even a trace of excess confusion in her clean and clear eyes.
It was as if she had never believed, or even considered, the possibility that evil would prevail and good would fail.
She only stood in this place, insisting on what she insisted on, believing in everything she believed, and the faith in her heart never wavered.
So much so that even the adventurers were heartbroken by Miss Knight's determined appearance, and some of them looked in this direction and couldn't help shouting: "Miss May, rush out, they are going to set fire, we will kill it with you!" Someone also turned around when he heard this, and drew his weapon, looking eager to try.
But May, as if she hadn't heard it, glanced in that direction. Then she lowered her head again, and gently pressed the communication crystal on her chest with her small hand, and the dark crystal there lit slightly. The knight listened carefully for a moment, and then nodded her head slightly.
Everyone couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
"Shoot the ——!"
Outside the inn, the Commander swiped his hand down and shouted the long order, a sharp tone like the howling of a crow. At that moment, it was like a wind blowing through the grass, and a whimper sounded in the air - the mercenaries reacted almost instinctively, resting their heads against the rest of their crossbows, and half-squinting their eyes, pulling the trigger.
The black shadow of the arrow suddenly rose into the air and pounced on the inn—
But in the dark corridor, the young man was watching all this with his eyes in peace, raised the staff in his hand, and struck lightly to the ground—with that blow as the center, invisible ripples crossed the space—and above the long street, a hexagonal wall of light was instantly formed.
After a flash of the wall of light, a thick wind curtain hung down from the air, and the violent air flow was expanding in all directions, even blowing the knights in the front row to gain an unstable foothold, let alone the crossbow arrows behind? The crystals exploded above the waves of air, turning into dazzling sparks, and the ashes were scattered in all directions by the chaotic current.
In the inn, everyone seemed to have fallen into a magic called time, and for a moment they were strangely quiet, and they all looked at the exaggerated scene in front of them, and the rain of fire like butterflies flying was falling one after another. "Wind, wind wall?" Someone opened their mouth to ask.
"Is there an elemental ...... around here?"
The just right wind wall obviously left a deep impression on everyone.
With the right spell at the right time, it sounds simple, but it's not easy. Even the mercenaries turned their heads for a while, looking at the buildings on the left and right streets with a little suspicion.
"Where is the other party ......?"
"It's Luo Yu!"
On the second floor, Ai Xiaoxiao was making a happy voice.
Alyssa looked at the demoralized enemy's crossbowmen below, and suddenly her eyes flashed slightly, as if she had sensed an opportunity. She turned her head sideways and said softly to Fang Nini on her shoulder: "Little guy, I'll leave you here alone, take care of this windowsill, and don't let anyone come up, okay?" ”
Nini tilted her head, stared at her with round golden eyes, blinked slightly, and then as if she understood the meaning, she hurriedly nodded vigorously: "Hmm, uh-huh." ”
As if to prove herself, the little girl jumped off Alyssa's shoulder, and in mid-air, a flame bloomed from her heart, and then turned into a pair of unfolded flame wings, and the fire feathers overlapped in an instant to form a cocoon. And the next moment, the fire cocoons scattered one after another, and a fair girl was born out of it.
She curled up, flames falling from the cocoon, turning into strands of clothing that enveloped her.
Nini raised her head and blinked, her long flame-like hair swaying gently behind her snow-white back, and the curious and innocent eyes in her golden pupils were still exactly the same. "Hmm." She pointed to herself, wagged her little tail, and held her little chest a little cutely.
Although he is still young, his figure and curves have already taken on the appearance of Nicol Bolas.
Over there, Luo Hao just glanced back at it, and then Ai Xiaoxiao picked up two fingers and poked them in the eyes, "Ouch——! He was caught off guard, and suddenly he was hit and screamed. Nini is still a child," Ai Xiaoxiao screamed: "Turn back, turn back!" ”
Luo Hao covered his eyes and looked up to the sky with tears streaming down his face, and shouted aggrievedly: "Damn, I just subconsciously turned back, you don't need to be so ruthless." ”
Ai Xiaoxiao also panicked when she saw it, and hurriedly said: "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm just in a hurry...... Luo Hao, are you okay? ”
“…… Do you think I'm fine!? ”
"Ah, I'm sorry! Fat man, fat man! ”
"What are you doing!"
"Yes, someone is coming up!" Ai Xiaoxiao screamed in fright.
"Damn," Luo Hao was speechless for a while, "tell me he's over there!?" ”
"On the left...... No, no, on the right. ”
"Can you even tell?"
But at the sound of a gunshot, a spark suddenly burst out of the knight's breastplate that had climbed up, and he fell out of the window on his back.
Ai Xiaoxiao's mouth opened wide and watched this scene.
Sylvede put away her gun and pulled the smoking shell, letting it roll to the floor with a clang. She turned her head and looked at Alyssa on one side with light blue eyes, while Miss Nightingale was sticking her twin knives into the magic furnace behind her back and said, "It's not safe to let only Kita and Parker contain those people, maybe I can cooperate with Luo Yu to attract the attention of those crossbowmen." ”
"Is it okay?" Sylvid asked softly.
Alyssa looked outside, her black and white eyes narrowed slightly, like a hunting cat: "How do you know if you don't try it, doesn't the head of the regiment often say that there is nothing impossible in this world?" ”
Sylvid was stunned and immediately smiled.
Alyssa had leapt out of the window, and the Crowtalon knights below shouted at the sight, several crossbows fired in this direction, but before they could reach her body, the latter had already turned into a cloud of shadow smoke, and the crossbow bolts passed through the smoke and dust like a phantom.
The smoke and dust turned in mid-air and fell to the ground, and the knights gathered around, but before they could stand firm, the smoke and dust scattered in all directions, as if blending into the shadows behind each of them. The knights hurriedly turned, but the shadows were already spreading like flowing water beneath their feet.
"It's a high-level shadow dancer, disperse!"
There was a shout, and everyone tried to find the shadow's place - to no avail, and the knights retreated one by one, but still couldn't keep up with Alyssa's speed.
Inside the inn, the wind wall that appeared before had already attracted everyone's attention, and the shadow that appeared at this moment surprised everyone. All they saw was the shadow sweeping over the feet of each knight, as if given life, and quickly approached the commander in the crowd.
Everyone's mouth opened wide for that moment, realizing what the 'assassin' was up to.
"Won't it?"
The heading of the enemy among the hosts, such a thing they had only heard of in legends—
The commander also felt a creepy feeling envelop his body, and almost instinctively, he drew his sword and slashed forward, a flash of fire in the shadows - the commander only felt his arm tingle, and the sword in his hand almost flew out of his hand.
Is this the power that an ordinary adventurer should have, the other party is just a shadow dancer, not a berserker?
Although he is not a crow knight, he is also a mid-level knight, and the other party's level is even higher than him, and it is much higher? The commander raised his head despite the numbness in his arm, only to see the shadow retreat immediately after striking him, but before he could see the other party's appearance clearly, suddenly the alarm suddenly appeared.
He subconsciously turned sideways, and a black light had shuttled in, hitting him in the left shoulder. The commander snorted, and the next moment he heard a soft shout: "Recall!" With a flash of lightning, the dark dagger inserted there flew back into the opponent's hand, and the commander only screamed miserably, and immediately fell to his knees.
But the assassination was unsuccessful after all-
"Failed?"
The adventurers watched this scene with a little bewilderment.
At this moment, the knights were in the direction of a dream, and they all gathered around. But the commander realized something, and was looking up in a cold sweat to see Alyssa turn into a cloud of smoke again, and a twist drifted back in mid-air.
He had a bad premonition in his heart, and he didn't care about the pain, and shouted in a cold sweat: "Be careful, protect the crossbowman!" ”
But it was too late, and the smoke and dust turned into a human form again, and Alyssa raised her hand in mid-air, and a cloud of dust fell from mid-air. The mercenaries were still unaware of what they were doing, and they were aiming in this direction with their crossbows, but as soon as the dust fell, they immediately closed their eyes screaming, and the crossbows in their hands fell to the ground.
"It's glitter dust."
Above the roof, Parker said, looking in that direction. He is also from a nightingale, so he naturally knows the tricks of his peers.
"The glitter won't last long, Miss Alyssa is buying us time." Kita took a light breath and replied.
Parker snorted softly, "I don't need her help," he tied the hook to himself, and then tugged at it, testing the strength of the other side before turning back and saying to Miss Naturalist, "Hold on, don't fall later." We'll be found as soon as we get out, so you'd better hurry up. ”
Kita nodded and replied softly, "I see." ”
Parker grabbed the pulley, carried Miss Naturalist on his back, and leaped forward with all his might.
At that moment, almost everyone saw the two of them emerge from the rooftop and leap towards the building on the other side. "There's someone over there!" Although the mercenaries were in a state of confusion, after seeing that it was only Glitter Dust, the Crowpaw Knight breathed a sigh of relief, as Kita said, Glitter Dust did not last long. The other party was just stalling for time, and as for the reason for delaying time, they obviously also discovered the 'flying man' that appeared on the roof.
"They're going to the building over there," shouted the commander, covering his bloody wounds, in that direction, "Go catch them!" ”
In the hallway, Luo Yu watched Parker and Kita disappear behind the roof in the other direction before turning around.
But as soon as he turned around, he saw the two people who appeared behind him, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment - it was none other than his parents.
"Dad, Mom......" Luo Yu called dryly.
His mother looked at him with a stern gaze: "Xiao Yu, you want to go down?" ”
Luo Yu looked out the window and nodded silently.
He opened his mouth again, and he didn't know how to explain for a moment in the face of his mother's seriousness, after all, he had promised them that he would find a way to obtain the qualification to go to the second world.
But what they're doing now doesn't look like they're working in that direction anyway. Their opposition to the Ravental Sanclaw will inevitably give further confidence to the Alliance, which will only further tighten its restrictions on the Seven Seas Brigade.
But that doesn't mean that he thinks what you're doing is wrong.
Is there such a high qualification to travel to the second world?
Even more important than distinguishing between right and wrong?
He felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, although from the beginning he understood from the beginning what his parents had placed on him when they sent him into this world.
He has always hoped that he can live up to this expectation.
But is it really necessary to give up everything for the sake of this expectation?
He looked up at his mother.
From a very young age, my mother was always strict with herself, she always stubbornly insisted on her opinions, and rarely made mistakes.
He was actually faintly afraid of the other party in his heart, but at this moment, Luo Yu couldn't help but clench his fists. His teammates were fighting below, and no matter what, he wouldn't be left alone in this place, even if he was ready, even at the risk of running into the other side.
But to Luo Yu's surprise, the serious look on his mother's face gradually faded, and she only looked at him silently.
He was in a daze, and his father on the side had reached out and pressed it on his shoulder, "Go ahead, it's your teammates after all—"
Luo Yu was slightly stunned and looked at the two of them in surprise.
His father winked at him and motioned for him to make a decision before he had time to repent.
Luo Yu's heart sank, he tried to take a breath, and hurriedly nodded. Then he did not dare to look at his mother's expression again, and passed the two of them with his head bowed, walked through the dark corridor, and disappeared at the end of the side.
Watching him leave, Luo Yu's father turned to look at his wife, "I thought you would stop him." ”
"I'm not such an unreasonable person," Luo Yu's mother replied, "and as for the time I gave them, it's their own business. ”
"But you know, the alliance ......"
"What do you think of me," Luo Yu's mother looked dissatisfied, "We are also from Tapolis, and the alliance is also dispensable in our hearts-"
"What about you?"
She sighed and suddenly asked, "Did you notice the way Xiao Yu cast the spell before?" ”
"What's wrong?"
"Do you remember that I was also an elemental?"
At the moment when Alyssa landed, Luo Yu was also pushing the door out.
Alyssa turned to him and smiled, "I thought you wouldn't come down." ”
"How so?" Luo Yu shook his head.
"That's not easy to say," Alyssa looked ahead, "Parker took Kita to the back to prepare a spell, I have to find a way to stop these people, you have to cast a spell to cover me." ”
"How to cover?" Luo Yu asked.
"Simple," Alyssa pointed not far away, "see those priests, just don't let them cast spells." ”
Luo Yu was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"No problem."
"So confident?" Alyssa looked at him with some surprise, this was not the other person she remembered.
But Luo Yu gently shook his staff, he understood the reason why he was standing here, no matter what, he had to at least fight for it.
"Someone said something to me......" he said softly.
"What?"
Alyssa asked as she removed the dagger from behind her.
Luo Yu didn't answer, that person didn't just say that to him, in fact, there was also Jita.
"Magic isn't easy—"
The moment Luo Yu appeared, the knights recognized his identity just by looking at his outfit. "It's the elemental!" The priests of the Lord of the Storm immediately surrounded him, and the hand that Luo Yu had shown earlier made people dare not despise him, and in Aitalia, the best way to deal with the caster was obviously the caster.
"He shouldn't have shown up!"
The adventurer also saw this scene and couldn't help but let out a few exclamations.
The most direct way to fight between spellcasters is to dismantle spells, or counter spells. But no matter what the confrontation is, the side with the most people will always have the advantage, and in this realm, a few levels higher doesn't mean much - two fists are hard to beat four hands, and it is difficult for high-level spellcasters to easily cast spells under siege by wolves.
But what shocked everyone's jaws was that the moment Alyssa got up and walked out, Luo Yu also gently raised the staff in his hand, as if the priests around him did not exist. Every time he pointed at a priest in front of him with his staff, the spell in the priest's hand immediately disappeared into invisibility, and he pointed it one by one, and everyone had a look of astonishment on their faces, until the last person, the high-ranking priest in a black and white robe embroidered with gold trim—
I saw that the spell in the other party's hand had already taken shape, and in an instant, when Luo Yu looked in his direction, the silver aura in his hand suddenly collapsed, and countless spell verses were scattered in his mind, turning into nothingness.
The high-ranking priest raised his head and looked at Luo Yu with a look of disbelief and shock, and even opened his mouth, as if asking, "...... How did you do that? ”
But Luo Yu didn't intend to answer his question.
He only gently lowered the staff in his hand to the ground.
The aether poured out of the spell that had fallen apart, and the priests near and far screamed in unison, stepping back and sitting on the ground. The high-ranking priest who had prepared the most complete spells was even more pale, and he actually spat out a mouthful of blood, and then fell to his knees.
The street was silent at that moment.
Everyone seems to be asking this question in their minds:
How did he do it?
So much so that people even forgot about Alyssa's actions.
In the middle of the building on the other side of the street, Parker is scrambling to set up a giant magic ballista, trying to stop the Ravental Knight as he rushes up the stairs. "Parker, buy me a little time." Kita opened the magic book and shouted to him not far away without looking back.
But it was too late, the other party had already rushed to the door, and his ballista was only half set up. Parker looked at Miss Naturalist behind her, then at the enemy below, and then pushed the half-erected ballista down in grief and indignation—and then watched in a look of anguish as his crossbow, worth more than 10,000 lissells, fell along with the three knights.
But this was only a temporary relief, and he had already seen more knights rush out of the gate.
"It's over," said the Paparal, who jumped to his feet in a hurry, "I knew there was nothing good, and I shouldn't have listened to the rumors of those uneasy and well-meaning fellows!" ”
"Mr. Parker, it's going to take a little time."
"There's not much time left," Parker cried out in despair, "they're already up, what can I do to stop them?" Take it myself? ”
He screamed, but his feet suddenly slipped and he rolled down with a scream. Amid the sound of ping-pong, the Paparals, who had formed a ball, rolled down with the second group of knights who rushed up.
At this time, Kita gently put her hand on the title page of the magic guide book, and her heart was slightly quiet, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "Mr. Parker, I'm ready." She raised her head, looked around, and couldn't help but show a confused look: "Mr. Parker, what about you?" ”
In the hall on the first floor, Alyssa, who had fallen to the ground in a column of smoke, was smiling and pulling the Paparal man up from the ground, patting the dust off his body and saying, "Bad job, Mr. Parker." ”
"Come on," Parker said angrily, "I'm going to see God if you're a little late." ”
"Not necessarily," Alyssa looked outside and smiled, "There are still our people out there." ”
But the two of them suddenly fell silent, raised their heads, and looked in the direction where Miss Naturalist was.
At that moment, the Crowtalon Knights outside only felt a slight tremor on the ground.
On the other side of the street, Luo Yu's parents were walking down the stairs, looking at their son not far away-
Luo Yu's mother thought for a moment before replying:
"At the time of the Battle of Byrne, I met a man."
"Who?"
"Flamewind-Enor, do you know the name?"
"Former President of the Stars?"
"He is also the number one elemental envoy in the country, one of the top ten kings," Luo Yu's mother looked back, "You know, some people rumored that he was a student of that person. ”
"Who?"
"Roban."
She paused: "Xiao Yu's spell casting method...... Kind of like him, but not quite the same......"
……
