244. Beacons
The magical walls of the palace were not lifted by the spellcaster's resolution, they stood majestically beyond the walls, and the street passers-by stared in amazement. Red Alert? It hasn't been seen in years, and the last time was ten years ago, when the queen was killed.
The palace issued an announcement that year, it is said that the murder of Queen Hannah is related to the elf king of the Indigo Forest, and the elf king fooled Queen Hannah's feelings and poisoned the queen at the banquet, which is really hateful... The people of the Vermilion Kingdom would always grit their teeth when they thought of this.
There are only skirmishes between countries, and in recent years there have been fewer and fewer large-scale battles, and I don't know when we will be able to fully defeat them and avenge the queen.
Hopefully, this gathering of the Red Alert is about an all-out war against the Indigo Forest, and the people near the palace are talking about it. Through the translucent walls, no one knew what was going on inside, and they didn't even notice that a hole had been blown out of the tower—the palace mage's tower was not a very inconspicuous building in the palace, and it was not at all as tall as the main castle.
Also feeling the magnificence of the magic wall was the only soldier guarding the tower's gates, who had not long joined the army, and the last time the wall was raised, he was still a child.
The gate rang again, and the soldier, frightened, turned around—as before, the gate was ajar enough for one person, but there was nothing there.
The vigilant soldier clenched his halberd closer, did someone inside accidentally push open the door? Repeatedly... There was a rumbling sound from the tower just now, probably the effect of the court mages summoning the magic wall, so would there be a gust of air that pushed open the gate? It's no surprise to think so.
Xia Zuo, who stayed in a distant corner, watched the soldiers close the gate, the other party was really big-hearted, and he didn't even notice the brick and stone glass that fell on the back of the tower, because it was carried on his back, and he had to go around to see it.
No matter how careful you are, it won't help, other people's eyes can't keep up with your own speed, after all, you can't keep up.
Xia Zuo sorted out the new items in his bag and closed them, and inside was the newly obtained magic scroll. Unlike the kingdom of Andu, the spread of magic here does not seem to be too limited, and the magic is only locked in a room with a thick door, and continuous attacks with lightning blades can destroy it little by little.
This time there is more magic at hand, and he still hasn't found the space system he needs, but Xia Zuo is still a lot more enriched, and in the future, he will revoke the "Sword Breaking Technique", and he still has endless magic to learn, waiting for the accumulated magic number, and when the strength crushes the "Sword Breaking Technique", he can unfold the "Sword Breaking Technique: Elimination" without hesitation.
In an instant, Xia Zuo moved from the house to the high walls of the castle, and in front of him was a magical barrier composed of giant crosses. He knew that beacon-type magic had no way to break through a defensive wall other than destroying beacons, but that was the experience he had gained from the previous game, and he should try every aspect now.
No one noticed the figure standing under the high walls, and the soldiers on the walls turned their eyes on the city, receiving a message that His Majesty had been attacked, and that the assassin must have been hiding in a corner of the castle and had not gone far.
Xia Zuo summoned a sword-shaped thunder blade and slashed at the wall at high speed - it no longer takes time to swing the sword, only the gap between pausing and swinging the sword again, if his reflexes are higher, the speed of swinging the sword will be faster, but unfortunately it is very difficult at the moment...
The lightning blades danced, cutting through the wall like chainsaws, creating a continuous stream of sparks and noise, which attracted the attention of the soldiers on the high wall, and two of them stepped forward in confusion, buried their heads down, and found nothing.
Slash more than a hundred times... Xia Zuo was leaning against the wall at the moment, and he couldn't easily see himself from the angle above, and the attacked wall seemed to the soldiers and him, there was nothing abnormal - the attack didn't even cause a single scratch, just like he imagined, Xia Zuo sighed helplessly, so he had to go back to the city to find where the real beacon was.
"What was the sound just now?" The soldier turned to ask his companion, apparently both of them had heard.
His companion held on to the wall, leaned forward and looked down carefully... There really is nothing.
"Is it the sound of the magic wall?"
"Does this magic wall make a sound? You've heard it before. ”
"Who knows, ten years ago I wasn't a palace guard."
Five minutes had passed before the king's chamber was surrounded by the court mages in charge of medical treatment.
"It's only been pierced through the throat, aren't you ready!?" The court mage at the head of the court, Nebet, looked back at the servants and asked the servants, one of them who had not yet arrived, and who immediately took the potion from the alchemy room after receiving the order, and was now on his way to arrive.
"It's already the fastest notice, and someone from the alchemy room should come soon." The servant trembled and said that he was the king's personal attendant and the first to find out that the king had died.
"What good have you done...", the tall heavily armored warrior Judd gritted his teeth, and the unpleasant grinding sound could be heard through the metal helmet, "You were all stabbed by the intruders before you came in!" Rubbish! ”
Judd swung his fist and slammed the back of his powerful hand into the servant's chest, knocking him flying and collapsing the bookshelf against the wall.
The servant fell to the ground weakly, prostrate, shards of the bookshelf smashing on him in pieces, clutching his chest and making a cry of pain, thinking that his ribs were broken.
"If Your Majesty hadn't woken up, I would have asked you something later, and I would have to peel your skin!" Judd roared.
At this moment, the court mage who had arrived from the alchemy room finally arrived and slammed in through the half-hidden door, "Your Majesty!?" He immediately took out a protective potion from his bosom - "Susheng Potion", a golden liquid in a conical glass bottle.
"Quick! It's been three and a half minutes! Nebet, who was standing by the bedside, shouted, "I have stopped the bleeding for Your Majesty, and as long as it does not take more time, all will be saved." ”
The mage with the potion immediately stepped forward and uncorked the bottle at the same time, preparing to pour the potion into the king's mouth. As Nebet said, the king's wound had been healed to stop the bleeding, and most of the blood that had flowed to the bed had been absorbed through the skin, and the bottle of potion had been poured into his mouth.
There was a crackling sound, and the potion bottle was shattered by a golden dagger that flew by, and the potion was sprinkled all over the ground with glass shards.
Everyone was stunned as the golden dagger pierced the wall and would disappear in five seconds.
"Who did that!?" Judd shouted.
"I didn't expect you to have a Resurrection Potion? Looks like I shouldn't have left him with a whole corpse. Xia Zuo's voice came from the corner of the room, "The Su Sheng potion only works on targets where the corpse is intact. ”
Everyone in the room looked over, and the young man who appeared at some point was in a dignified place.
Dark blue hair, with blue eyes.
“... It's you! Nebet's lips trembled in horror.
"Tell me, which of you is the beacon?" Xia Zuo said, re-grasping the summoned Thunder Sword.
