Chapter 73
"There are traps! Be careful! The captain didn't expect it to be a trap like a trap, and he crouched down and tried to break the clip, but almost at the same time, a silent "wind blade" slashed over his head, and he only felt the breeze blowing, and a few inches of hair on the top of his head were shaved off, and then he felt the top of his head being sprayed with a hot liquid.
In the passage, several inaudible screams rang out.
Worst!
The captain was shocked, and secretly said what a powerful trap!
"How's everybody?" Use the fighting spirit to ignite the light, dance in the darkness, and ask in sign language.
But in the dark passage, only a few clouds of light lit up.
Three died...... The captain was shocked, and once again signed to let the guardian warrior step forward.
In fact, this kind of place where it is possible to set traps, heavy shield warriors are the least suitable for pathfinding, once the trap is not attacked from the front, then their sluggish bodies are the most likely to die here.
But obviously, it was dark here, and even half of the sound was absorbed, so it probably didn't matter who was in front.
Two warriors carrying the shield tower stepped forward and opened the shield block to protect themselves from the road ahead, and after everyone advanced all the way for more than ten meters, they found that the road narrowed again, this time only one and a half people wide, and everyone had to line up in a straight line to continue to move forward. A shield-wielding warrior stood in the way, followed by a priest in the back, wielding the shield of light at all times.
Suddenly, in the darkness of the passage, a brilliant blue circle shone brightly. The warriors' shields were held high, like a thick wall to block possible intrusions, and for safety, the priests also used their shields of light to protect themselves and make crouching sign language. The azure blue easily passed through the shield of the shield warrior and passed over everyone's heads, and everyone's hearts tightened, and the secret path was fortunate that the priest in front of him had a timely gesture.
But soon after they got up, tragedy ensued.
"They should all be dead, right?" Ahri whispered, cautiously approached with the demon fox flame, and found that there was someone under her feet, and the demon fox flame did not move, she hurriedly threw the potion that Feng Liu handed over to her into the corpse pile, and then quickly left here.
……
"Annihilated?" Everyone waiting at the bar was stunned, and they looked at the guard in front of them who had fled in disarray, and they were extremely shocked.
"You're saying that the average strength of a team led by a sixth-order light guardian is all above the fifth order, and there are two priests who have followed a team that has been killed by a single magic!?" The city lord grabbed the man's collar in horror, there were his cronies in that team!
"That's right, my lord, look at the villain's nose!" The guard's face was full of pain and panic, and everyone looked at it, only to find that the guard's nose had been cut off by force, "At that time, the villain moved a little slower, and the weird magic ball happened to stop in front of the villain's nose, and then, when it flew back, the villain found that the villain's nose had disappeared like this!" When the magic ball disappeared, no matter how much you used your fighting spirit to do sign language, no one responded! And there is also a ghost fire in the passage, and the villain immediately escapes back! ”
"Let me take a look." The red-clothed Grand Sect Master motioned for the guard to come over, and the light in his hand was condensed to heal his nose, and after half a sound, he frowned, "Disappeared......
"Lord Leopold, what's gone?" The city lord asked cautiously.
"His nose."
Everyone knows his nose is gone!
Leopold glanced around and said in a deep voice, "It's like the kind that never existed." ”
“……!” Astound!
"God has said that all things in the mortal world must have traces left by it, and I can trace its past and future with the prophecy of light." Leopold whispered, "But for now...... Is that magic ball some kind of artifact? ”
A strange atmosphere shrouded in it, and everyone's expressions were extremely solemn.
Hank's face furrowed slightly, and he looked at LeBlanc on the side.
"I don't know." LeBlanc made a lip shape.
Doubts flashed in Hank's eyes, but he didn't say much.
"So, are we going to keep chasing?" The city lord asked tremblingly, how could the power of a mortal be an enemy of an artifact!
As for whether it was an artifact or not, no one thought much about it at the moment.
"Hmm...... Let's take a look. ”
……
In front of the dark passage, everyone looked at the darkness, like the huge mouth of a hideous beast, waiting for the prey that took the initiative to come to the door.
"The priest said that there is a special magic circle in this passage, and only Lord Leopold can light the way here."
"The light of the Lord is everywhere...... Leopold stretched out his hand, and a holy light appeared on the palm of his hand, and he walked ahead, although the light gradually dimmed, it did not disappear completely, illuminating the dark tunnel.
But the light can only illuminate the road surface five meters ago.
Leopold's face was heavy, and he said, "The person who made this passage is not simple. ”
This sentence made the hearts of those present even heavier.
Of course, when you see a person who dies in a line in a narrow passage, the mood is already heavy and the gravitational pull of the earth is in the same way.
"Your Excellency...... Do you still keep chasing? ”
Leopold shook his head, "Take the bodies of these warriors who sacrificed their lives for the light and bury them." ”
Under the light of Leoper's hand, a corpse was dragged out and taken away, but soon, when another corpse was dragged out, a rancid smell came to his face, Leoper's face suddenly changed, and a ball of holy light in his hand was released and burned on the corpse, and soon this strength burned to ashes, and the person who dragged the corpse then saw that the dark spots on his hands were very terrifying, and he was immediately shocked, Leopold hurriedly performed the light purification technique, but the black spots on the man's palm grew more and more, Slowly cover your wrists!
"It's the plague toxin! Cut off his hands! Evacuate here! The Great Sect Master immediately made a decision, and a paladin who followed him immediately used his sword to completely cut off the man's arm, allowing him to drag the person out of here.
Leaving this dark passage, Leopold's face became less pretty, he casually treated the wound of the man who had fainted from the pain of having his arms cut off, and looked at the city lord who had evacuated to the safe passage, "Mr. Joshua, this place has been sown with plague toxin, this passage must be blocked immediately, and the Mossad master must be invited to come, otherwise it may lead to the spread of the plague in Federer City." ”
……
[The plague toxin that even high-level professionals can infect, so terrifying? Light magic has nothing to do against plague toxins? Catherine frowned, "But once it spreads to the city, won't it lead to irreversible consequences? 】
[Don't worry, what I'm using is just an ordinary deadly plague toxin, the kind I can prepare an antidote myself, not to mention the Mossad master. Feng Liu said calmly, [Light magic and alchemists specialize in the art industry, even if it is the simplest plague toxin, it is impossible for the red-clothed sect master to dispel it, not to mention that in that passage, even if the holy light of the great sect master can illuminate, the light will be dim and the level of the plague toxin cannot be judged, they must ask the Mossad master to make a move before they dare to move forward, and then there are dozens of kilometers all so dark that you can't see your fingers and can't even hear the sound of your own running, I have laid out a plague toxin trap, as long as they dare to come, How many people die if they come too little, and they don't have to worry about chasing soldiers. 】
[That's fine.] Catherine breathed a sigh of relief.
[I'm afraid now is not the time to care about them, I am sure that LeBlanc has defected, and Mr. Feng Liu, I am afraid that your wanted notice will be hung at the city gate tomorrow. With the Great Prophecy Technique, no matter how powerful your disguise technique is, you won't be able to return to Federer City within two months, so your previous plan is probably completely useless, and we should consider our future plans. Lux paused, "By the way, where does this road lead?" 】
[A 'paradise' fifty kilometers away from Federer.] Feng Liuzhi missed, I don't know how the boss is doing now.
The Abyss Valley, the place where demons ravaged the hell on earth......
Feng Liu thought so, and suddenly thought of his Heaven Stealing Divine Skill, although he had more than a dozen cultivations stored on his body, but counting them, he had only refined them four times, and now he had lost Federer City, a place where he could "mention" his cultivation, I am afraid that he could only find a way to steal it from the Warcraft. A fifth- or sixth-order demonic beast, Nima......
By the way, there are still some corpses in his space ring, and Feng Liu has come back to his senses, and he is now too far away from Constana to be contacted.
[Lux, try to see if you can contact Constana the next time you go back to the city.] 】
[Do you still want to stay here?] I've heard that the Church's Inquisition is extremely powerful, and this time, you're wanted in the name of the leader of the Dark Organization, and I'm afraid that some of the Secret Servants of the Inquisition will also take action, so I think maybe we should find a way to leave the Church of Light's strength, such as going north or going to other countries where the Church of Light is weaker......]
However, the Arafad Empire is the largest human empire on the continent of Fiano, and although the headquarters of the Church of Light is not in the empire, it is the most powerful place. In other words, it is better for Feng Liu to leave his hometown and go to some small countries that are not very prosperous, not to mention anything else, it may be difficult to make money, and the summoning and equipment of heroes are so expensive.
[No, I'm afraid we can't go. Feng Liu said in a deep voice, [Since LeBlanc is a traitor, it is very likely that the Rosmar family did not know about Hank's collusion with the beast clan. In this way, Hank's plan may continue, and even the Arafad Empire will indeed be destroyed.
Arafat is the largest empire of mankind, and it is also the most important line of defense for human society against the beasts, once the empire is destroyed, the consequences are unimaginable, and then we don't want to be alone, so we can't just leave, and we must find a way to destroy the big game! 】
[Hank only has a lot of influence in Federer City, right?] The Empire's intelligence agencies shouldn't be unaware of Hank's private actions, right? Lux didn't believe it, "There should be something to be done within the empire. 】
[The family behind Hank once participated in the struggle for imperial power, although it failed and was exiled here.] Feng Liudao, [As for why they didn't kill them all, I don't know, but I think their family is probably still connected with some high-level nobles in the imperial capital. Moreover, there are three major intelligence agencies in the empire, and they are not pleasing to each other, as long as they are slightly designed, maybe the information of Hank's collusion with the orcs will not be sent to the table at all. 】
"I see. Lux nodded, [But the light of a special operations team of MI7 may not be able to fight the Dark Blade...... There's even a black rose to fight it off. I've just made a minimum estimate that we need at least fifty Fourth-Order agents, thirty Five-Order agents, and twenty Sixth-Order agents to contend with them. Training is not a problem, your Heaven Thief Skill is indeed a 'master manufacturing machine', but the most important problem is that loyalty is difficult to guarantee...... Mr. Feng Liu, I heard that you have a drug called 'Life and Death Charm', right? Is there a premium version? 】
The agent in Lux's mouth is a combination of a thief and an assassin, and is also known as Arafad, the shadow attendant.
Due to the need to cultivate both the cultivation of Dou Qi and the need for in-depth research on Dou Qi, people's energy is limited, so although both are stealth professions, very few can do double cultivation, and usually those who have the ability to double cultivate will choose to join Arafad's royal family to become shadow attendants.
Lux's words made Feng Liu's mood change, and after a while, he said slowly, "Yes, but it will ruin their future...... And there is damage to the nerves. 】
[Future? Lux sighed, [Without your Heaven Stealing Divine Skill, the future is just a lifetime of thieves for these people, compared to the sacrifice now, at least we can provide them with a better life in the future, isn't it? Of course, if you still feel that you can't get over it, we can go to the slum to select. 】
[Is it a comfortable and comfortable life...... In order to achieve this goal, don't you mind any means that do not violate the bottom line of morality......]
[Minimum moral bottom line.] Lux laughed, "No one but a madman would refuse a comfortable and comfortable life. The necessary sacrifices are understandable as long as they are sufficiently rewarded. 】
[Okay...... This one is on me. Feng Liu suddenly said, [However, the slum is not a treasure house, isn't there only one Tyrone in the entire slum as big as Noxus? 】
[In fact, there are really no poverty-stricken areas in Demacia City, they are generally selected from the surrounding poverty-stricken areas, and besides, we don't want to pick a genius like Tyrone, we just want a group of agents who can act according to orders.] Lux shook her head and said, "I'll leave the training to me, huh? I see the light, is it the end? 】
The faint morning light came into view, and Feng Liu looked up, this small lake surrounded by trees was as quiet as a month ago.
"This small lake is surrounded by the residence of the fifth and sixth order demonic beast groups, and they all go into dormancy in winter, but others will not come here easily, so it is relatively safe." Seeing Asomo looking around vigilantly, Feng Liu said, "Let's go to the lake and rest." ”
"Hmm."
The clear water of the lake shimmers slightly, and there is a little snow on the banks of the river that has not completely melted.
Feng Liu picked up some firewood, dried it with the little fighting energy left in his body, and then made a gas bonfire, summoning Catherine, Zhao Xin, and Lux from the summoning space.
"How do you feel?" Feng Liu couldn't help frowning when he looked at the hideous bloody mouth behind Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin had the dual physique enhancement of Dolan Shield and Ruby, and the armor he wore was also extremely good, ordinary fourth-order warriors couldn't leave scars on this armor, this Kosnade directly poked a big hole in Zhao Xin's back!
"It's okay, it's just a little tired." Zhao Xin looked weak, and Lux used the power of light in her hand to burn the wound and expel the toxins that remained on the wound.
"My anti-poison potion can only resist or be immune to lower-tier poisons, but it seems that she doesn't use high-tier poisons either." Feng Liu looked at the color of the wound on Zhao Xin's back and said, "After all, the cost of high-grade poison is too high, and Kosnard doesn't have a desperate plan to fight with us, so she didn't apply it." Zhao Xin, do you go back to the summoning space to rest, or rest outside here. ”
"It's more comfortable to be outside, but I still need to heal my wounds faster."
Feng Liu took Zhao Xin back to the summoning space, let Ahri and Daddy Jim come out to breathe, and Feng Liu and Catherine took out the food they had prepared before and prepared breakfast. Asomo went to the forest to catch a deer and came back, and Feng Lu simply roasted a sandwich for breakfast.
"Asomo, there are some things I didn't want to ask more about, but now, please answer me truthfully." After the meal, Feng Liu pulled Asomor aside and asked solemnly, "How did you do today...... Did Hank give you some kind of medicine, or a curse? ”
"I don't know." Asomo shook his head coldly, his face heavy, "But sometimes...... When I smell something strange, my mind and body involuntarily behave in certain ways, and I look at it as if I were a spectator...... It's as if there's another soul there, competing with me for the body......"
Asomo's words made Feng Liu's eyebrows lower, his right hand covered his mouth, and he rubbed his chin with his middle finger, ring finger and little thumb, and entered into deep thought.
"It's like another soul exists, doesn't it? …… Whether it's magic or medicine, there are at least thirteen ways to achieve this effect......" Feng Liu shook his head, thinking through the various similar situations that Feller had mentioned in his mind.
"No, you can't judge such a thing at all......" Although this is the case, Feng Liu can be sure of one thing, Hank still knows at least one high-level dark mage.
A high-level mage? Feng Liu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of what LeBlanc had said to him.
'Hank's backer, it seems that there is not only one backer of the beasts, but the other backer, hidden deeper, and more powerful, but unfortunately I also have no evidence for this matter, but you have to be careful. ’
Another hidden backer? Could it be that LeBlanc meant by this phrase......
Feng Liu's eyes were lowered, and his heart recalled his past experience, and his heart suddenly burst out.
LeBlanc did defect, but ...... There are many things that don't make sense.
What the hell do you mean by LeBlanc...... Feng Liu's brows were furrowed, and he still couldn't figure it out, so he could only shake his head and put this idea aside for the time being.
"Asomo, do you really not remember the past?"
"No...... I don't remember. "Although there are some fragments of memories in my mind, I always feel as if they have been imposed on my body, and I am like a bystander." ”
"Hmm...... Looks like we'll have to wait for Konstana to come over. "The necromancer has a knack for the soul, and she might be able to find the crux of the problem.
Back at the lake, Catherine was drinking tea with Lux and the others, Feng Liu took a cup and drank it, and Lux on the side asked.
"You said you couldn't leave Federer, I'll go back to the city to manage MI7 later. But the problem now is that if no one will believe us, we will not be able to participate in the big competition, and our activities in the city will be hindered by layers of obstacles, do you have any plans in mind? ”
"It's simple, find someone who can trust us, and who has absolute power to shelter us." This question had already been thought about for a long time when he had just eaten.
"Oh? Who? Lux was surprised, "Can he have more authority than the City Lord and the Great Sect Master?" ”
"No, we don't necessarily need authority greater than theirs. We just need that she can withstand the coercion of the Great Sect Master and others and protect us. Feng Liu said calmly, "As for the wanted warrant...... We need to find another set of actions to prove his innocence - such as finding clear evidence of Hank's collusion with the Orcs and the Dark Order. ”
"I'm afraid this evidence is not easy to find, but you have clicked through me, Mr. Feng Liu, leave this to me." "But who is that person you're talking about?" ”
"The Seven Princesses of Arafat, Gladys. She will represent Imperial College in this year's big competition, and now I'm afraid she is already on her way. Feng Liu smiled faintly, "And this can also prove whether the imperial intelligence agency has obtained information about Hank's collusion with the orcs." This is our only chance, so, Lux, you must find a way to get the information of the Seventh Princess. ”“ok!!!”
"What? Konstana was caught!!??? When Seal Liu, who had been picking rare herbs in the woods for a day with Asomo, heard the news of the report from Lux, who had returned from Federer City, his face showed an ugly and shocked expression, "How can this be...... Could it be that Constana and the others were arrested in advance? That's not right...... I signaled to Constana very early. ”
"If there is a second powerful female necromancer in Federer City, then maybe it will not be Constana who will be burned to death, and even the Sparky family will be pulled into the water, the method called Hank is really not simple, it is said that now in the entire city, all the nobles who were originally neutral have fallen one-sidedly, and even some nobles who are towards the Rosmar family have begun to waver." Lux sighed, but it was clear that
