Chapter Seventy-Two: The Hunt
I hate it~~~ Hurry up and hurry up or it's a step too late! The priests lying on the ground, and at least the high-level priest of the round spider mastermother, are all a lot of experience points! The priest who was bitten by spells and could not even perform simple magic was given for nothing, and was actually preempted by others......
"Thanks to your strong attack all the way to attract the remaining guards, I was able to get here so easily and quickly." The other party said mockingly.
It's infuriating! "Is it easy? Your soldiers don't seem to think so. "I scanned the temple and there were more corpses of soldiers in the Darkflame family armor than there were women in priest robes.
"Hmph, to deal with a mistress and all the priests of the entire family with her, some sacrifices are inevitable." The other party disagreed.
That's right...... Also.
Priests are not a profession that weakens when they lose their ability to cast spells, and the snakehead whips in the hands of these priests of Rose are not vegetarians. Although it is difficult to cast even simple magic spells due to spell regalia, I estimate that the spell rodent effect is to make the priest unable to perform the magic he has memorized for a period of time, and as a top ruling class of a not weak family, there must be some magic items and high-level magic scrolls in his hands. The larger number of corpses of the Dark Flame soldiers in the temple proves that even if these priests of Rose are in a desperate situation where they cannot cast spells, their "last bite" is still very dangerous. This reservoir dog is not easy to fight, if I get there first, I and the two soldiers who follow me, I may not know which side will become the experience of the other party.
However, I am very unhappy to see so many experience points leaking through my fingers in vain.
"This ...... Those black gemstone fragments on the altar...... Could it be the icon of Queen Rose? I asked with a treacherous heart, trying to put a blasphemous hat on the other party after he answered.
The other party glanced at the altar in the center of the temple of the Divine Spirit, and replied easily, "That's right, it was probably the impact of the Evil Eight Demon Array's rodent rodent that shattered the holy icon, and also saved us the strength to destroy it." ”
“…… Destruction of icons? The unexpected answer made me stunned for a moment, "Does the Queen of God allow it?" ”
"The failed families no longer need icons, and their souls will be at the disposal of the Queen of God."
An understatement made me rush out: "Abyss Demon Domain? ”
"Priests of the deceased Lady Rose, where do you think their souls will go?"
That's a great rhetorical question!
Souls favored by the goddess will be able to go to the Abyssal Demon Realm to serve the goddess after death, while those who fail Rose will be tormented forever after death...... I forgot which book I had read it, and the above statement flashed through my mind. I thought it was just general religious brainwashing, but maybe ......
If it's true, I don't know if it's just affecting NPCs, or if even the player will be involved?
As he was pondering, he noticed that the slender figure was gradually approaching in an elegant and unobtrusive way.
I had chills......
Immediately retreat sharply.
The cold light flashed, and the blood splattered!
One of my soldiers next to me collapsed clutching his neck.
How should I react? Wrath? Indissoluble? Confused? Drink ask? Preparedness? Attack?
The above reaction may be exactly what the other party expects. So...... I ran away.
I didn't have the confidence to win against Ayton, the grade difference was too far. Although I have thought about cutting him by the sword in the past when I faced provocations, it was just a thought, and I was still self-aware. At this moment, in the face of a high-ranking nobleman like Ayton, even if I add those two soldiers, I definitely have no chance of winning, not to mention that one soldier was killed in an instant just now.
The "Agile Movement" specialty is a special ability to escape, and I jumped out of the temple door with all my might, and when I landed again, I didn't even have the slightest delay, and with a twist of my toes, I turned 180 degrees and galloped away with the momentum of the inverted leap.
Ayton has always had bad intentions towards me, but I was very careful not to give him a chance. At this time, in the territory of a rival family, and in the midst of chaotic battles elsewhere, it is a good time to start!
Thankfully, I was alert when he approached, or the sword would have stabbed at me, and as I retreated, it turned to the soldier standing on my side, determined to kill me. It is to eradicate the forces around me at this moment, and it is also to eliminate possible witnesses.
There was a scream behind me, and I knew that the other soldier was finished, but I couldn't care about anyone else, and I only blamed the dead soldier for not even having the ability to delay a little longer.
Although I didn't have time to look back during the escape, I could feel that Ayton was chasing after him, and he was catching up!
The character's walking or running speed depends on the race, class, and equipment limitations, plus certain agility modifiers. The +1 Mithril Breastplate on my body is extremely lightweight, like light armor, which does not limit my walking and running speed, and my 18 agility is the initial highest stat for other races, which is naturally not considered among the Dark Elves, but it is already extremely high. Ayton is of the same race as me, and the Dark Elves don't have the Berserker or Warrior Monk classes to speed up walking. Well, either he has magic or equipment to speed up his travel, or his agility is higher than mine. I'm more inclined to believe in the latter, and if it's the former, it's nothing more than "acceleration" or something, then I'm afraid I'll be caught before I can run a few steps.
I ran all the way, hoping to run into a few soldiers from the Darkflame Clan, which would make Ayton a little jealous. However, even God didn't help me, and I didn't even see a figure on the way away.
I was a spirit, and my body flashed to the right violently while running, and my left arm was pierced by Ayton's sword! If I hadn't dodged suddenly, it would have been my heart that had been pierced!
Ayton was also stunned after stabbing the rapier, and I didn't care about the arm injury, so I quickly continued to run and shake him off.
However, in terms of speed, Ayton had the advantage and gradually caught up again.
I panicked, and when I dodged again, I ran into what looked like a storage room.
It was almost empty, there was nothing but a pile of debris, and there wasn't even a window on the side of the wall.
At the only exit where I ran in, Ayton's figure stood for a moment, and then slowly walked in, holding a rapier in one hand and slowly pulling a dagger from his waist in the other.
He took a step, and I took a step back. By the time he reached the middle of the room, I had retreated to the other wall.
I drew my sword and held my small steel shield. Since I can't win with those two soldiers just now, I'm the only one at the moment, and it's just a battle of trapped beasts. But I also want to cry out and ask: "You are going to be too unwise to do it to me, even if there is no evidence and no eyewitnesses, but do you think you can hide the wisdom of the mistress?" ”
He played with the dagger in his hand and pondered: "Well, as long as there is no evidence and witnesses, it is enough, I didn't think that I could hide it from my mother." ”
I was astonished, could it be that his actions were tacitly approved by the mistress? No way!
"I don't believe that the Master Mother will allow you to attack me and do this kind of thing that will deplete the family's combat power!"
"Hmph, compared to the joy that the victory of the family has made the mistress, it can completely make up for this little displeasure!" He twisted his lips into a cruel grin, "You've said too much nonsense, stupid and imprudent guys are always surprised, and waiting to die in surprise." It's time! ”
