Chapter 8: A Failed Ambush
The Tirisfal glade at night was very quiet, and the two bright moons in the sky lit the way forward, and the boys and girls walked side by side towards the front. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Jon, it's actually a beautiful night here!" Bridget looked up at the sky and said.
"Hmmm......"
"Look at the two moons in the sky, I bet they're definitely not so clear in town! Next time during the Spring Festival, we must come here to admire the moon......"
"Makes sense!"
"My grandmother once told me that the eldest of the two moons is the embodiment of Elune, the goddess of the moon, and the smaller is the real moon, Jon, are you right......"
"Perhaps......"
"Jon Mills! I feel like you're a little absent-minded! Bridget Abydis's tone couldn't help but harden, and she was obviously a little unhappy with this dry one-sided conversation.
"Wait a minute!"
However, Jon Mills' face suddenly changed, and he raised one of his hands to signal her not to speak.
Brigitte was a little confused, and just as she tried to ask something, she saw a faint light emanating from Jon's body, spilling around.
Divine Nova!
Strictly speaking, the Holy Nova is not even a level 0 spell, it simply releases the power of the Holy Light, dealing low damage or healing to targets in a certain range around it, even the Priest Apprentice who has just mastered the Holy Light can easily use it.
Of course, Priests rarely use Holy Nova in general, as it is so ineffective that it is usually a waste of their mana.
However, there are times when it can be very effective, such as to break the stealth state of thieves.
Everywhere the pale light went, a figure appeared, only to see a short, small-eyed, mouse-like face and pointed nose emerging from the shadows.
"There are thieves!" Bridget exclaimed.
Even after Jon discovered the thief's trail, he had been turning on his natural skill "Perception", feeling the movement around him, so much so that he was very absent-minded during his conversation with Bridget.
When he sensed that something was wrong through his perceptual skills, he decisively unleashed the Holy Nova spell, causing Peter, a thief "Mouse" who was sneaking about ten yards away from him, to appear.
Peter, the "mouse" who was in a stealth state before, was obviously startled, as a thief born in a regular college, he still has a solid understanding of some basic knowledge of the industry. According to Ravenhold's "Practical Thief's Guide", a distance of ten yards is an absolute safe distance for stealth, but he has now been discovered.
So he was stunned for a moment, and when he reacted, he happened to see a girl with an angry face, holding a dagger with a golden light in her hand, as if she was about to rush towards him.
If it was "Falcon" Winrio who was here at this time, his first reaction would definitely be that this dagger was very valuable; However, for Peter "the Mouse", his first reaction was to feel the danger.
So Peter didn't hesitate to open the right pocket of his jacket, a movement he was very skilled in.
This pocket contains a bag of vanishing powder.
Powdery smoke filled Jon and Bridget.
"Ahh The girl couldn't help but let out a scream.
"Get out of the way!" Without hesitation, Jon took Bridget's hand and escaped a few steps away.
By the time the smoke cleared, there was no sign of the thieves in front of them.
"Damn, let him run!" Bridget was very angry and knew that she never expected that there would be thieves following behind the two of them in this wilderness, and she could guess what the purpose was.
"Be careful!" Jon reminded softly.
Before he finished speaking, he saw a strong man in front of him rushing down from the mountain and rushing towards the two.
It was an unusually large strong man, and the first thing that made Jon's mind think of hating this being was that he thought of it. The strong man held a thick wooden stick in his hand, and roared with a somewhat dull face: "You are not allowed to bully Peter!" ā
"Bullying Peter?" Jon was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted, daring to love this strong man and the previous thief!
It's a robber!
Bridget's face also became grim, she held the dagger across her chest, and whispered to Jon behind her, "Jon, you go quickly, run back to Lordaeron and call for help, I'll stop them!" ā
In Bridget's opinion, a simple priest's apprentice like Jon has no combat power in this wilderness! And she is different, she is the daughter of the great general Abidis, the future knight of the Silver Hand, and she will protect Jon.
The girl picked up the dagger without hesitation and rushed towards the strong man in front of her.
"Giant Bear" Misha looked at the girl who rushed over, touched her head a little woodenly, and then said: "Little girl, you go quickly, I don't bully children!" ā
However, before the words could be spoken, Bridget's sharp dagger had already cut a deep blood mark on Misha's right arm.
"Don't mess with Misha, Misha is going to be angry!" Misha angrily raised his large stick, but soon his left arm was stabbed deep by Bridget......
After a few rounds of the encounter, he was already clearly on the back foot.
A loud bang rang out from behind the two combatants, only to see a shining signal shoot into the sky, cutting through the silence between the two moons.
Jon gently patted the dust off his hands, looking at the flare casings that had exploded into tatters, and couldn't help but feel a little afraid. Thanks for not doing what Father Lancaster said.
According to Father Lancaster's previous introduction, all you need to do is hold a flare to the sky; Jon was a little careful, though, and flares away with the flip of the switch. Sure enough, the shell of the flare also suddenly exploded, and if I had been holding it just now, I am afraid that hand would have suffered a lot of injuries now.
Engineering products are really unreliable.
But at least it only takes ten minutes for Lordaeron's guards to arrive, and she and Bridget will be safe!
ā¦ā¦
Watching the crimson signal flare shoot into the sky, "Falcon" Winrio's expression was broken, and an ambush he had carefully planned turned into something like this inexplicably.
First of all, the thief "Mouse" Peter was beaten out of the stealth state by two priest apprentices, and more importantly, his first reaction was to be directly frightened and use the vanishing powder, and he has not appeared again.
What a shame on the world of thieves!
What's even worse is that the warrior "Giant Bear" Misha actually ran out of the hiding place directly, blocking the way of the two prey! You must know that you are fifty yards ahead, but you have set up a frozen trap, isn't this a pit for yourself?
Not to mention that it seems that he is fighting the young priestess in close combat, and it seems that he still has the upper hand!
Forget it, a coward, an idiot, you can't count on them yourself.
"Falcon" Wen Lio picked up his bow and glanced at the two prey sharply, thinking that it seems that this time he needs to go out himself!
