Chapter 21: Detachment
In the end, this kind of lack of combat experience, whenever Zhou Lie felt that he could break through this layer of water film, he would find that he was still a breath away.
It is shrouded in water in all directions, and if you want to get out, you must break this water film, but no matter how hot the flames are, you can't evaporate this water film, but your own activity area is getting smaller and smaller, so breaking the caster is the only way at the moment.
The fire gun, which had been pre-loaded with an iron projectile, was taken out of Zhou Lie's waist and pointed at Wilson, this move was very strange in the eyes of Layla and Wilson, the other party was desperate at the moment, what was this doing.
Second gear.
A muffled sound came from the tube, and with the firelight, a tiny projectile shot out of it, penetrating the water film in an instant, and with great power, flew towards Wilson.
With all these years of experience, Wilson instinctively opened a magic shield in front of him.
The high-speed iron pellet passed through the water prison and came to Wilson, rushing into the blue magic shield, and actually stirred up the magic shield to ripple violently, and then penetrated and fell into Wilson's body.
It has to be said that Wilson's reaction was very timely, and the magic shield successfully reduced the speed of the iron pill, so it did not penetrate the skin, but it still hit the old magister like a heavy punch.
Wilson, who was hit hard, spat blood, his mental strength was sluggish, and the blue water film that was approaching step by step suddenly exploded, Layla was worried about the teacher's situation, and no longer kept her hand, and thousands of high-speed jets of water formed ice, flying towards Zhou Lie at high speed, in the small room, like setting off a cold ice storm.
If the high-speed waterline is like a small flying knife, then these ice crystals are small flying knives, if you are shot by these ice crystals, then you will really die on the spot, and it is no longer possible to simply dodge, what should I do.
The answer, of course, is to vaporize them all.
The fire element gathered in front of Zhou Lie at high speed under Zhou Lie's control, and as a result, an explosion occurred, and a high-speed heat wave surged towards all directions.
The people outside the house were not so lucky, the explosion directly destroyed the roof of the house, and the falling rubble and debris smashed the guards and passers-by outside.
The power of this explosion was fine-tuned, and most of the blast erupted upwards, with the purpose itself of neutralizing Layla's attack, rather than countering it.
After the explosion, Zhou Lie smiled miserably, at this moment, his body was full of small wounds that had been cut, his whole body was in tatters, and blood oozed from the wounds, like a bloody man, he didn't expect Layla to make it so miserable with such a simple attack magic.
Thinking that he still didn't want to hurt Layla, it's ridiculous to think about it now, he doesn't have that kind of absolute strength, and he is not familiar with this form of fighting, where did he get the courage to keep his hand.
He needs to overcome these two here before he can move on to the next plans.
Inside the ice wall, Wilson spat blood from his mouth and his breath was weak, and Layla panicked when she saw her teacher like this, and she would only grab Wilson to succeed, not knowing what to do next.
"I'm fine, you don't need to worry so much. Wilson spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "It's just a few broken ribs, it's a common thing when you're young, Layla, don't let that person go, the master is fine." ”
"No, you need to find a doctor now, and I'll take Master out. ”
"Listen to me, Layla. Wilson grabbed Layla's hand with his backhand and said, "This person is here to kill people, if you leave now, other ordinary people here will die, they need you to stand up and protect them, don't worry, teacher, I have experienced such a strong wind and waves, this is only a small injury." ”
Layla held back tears and nodded.
When the explosions outside subsided, Layla waved her hand, and the ice crystal barrier turned into tiny ice crystal fragments and shot out in all directions, but by this time, there was no one in the dilapidated room.
There was a trace of blood dripping on the ground, which was the blood left by Zhou Lie's movement, and the blood stain extended to the corner of the room, and then suddenly disappeared, Layla followed the bloodstain to that corner, and the person would not evaporate out of thin air, so it must have entered the secret passage, Layla remembered that before the person rushed in, the big man with a scar on his face threw the other two into a secret door.
After some inspection, Layla finally found the location of the secret door, and after removing a stone brick, she revealed a staircase leading to the ground, and blood stains appeared on the staircase again, presumably left by the same person.
At this moment, the soldiers outside finally moved away from the gravel blocking the door and rushed in, and they were at a loss when they saw the tragic situation in front of them.
"We have been attacked by an out-of-control magician, Augustus has been taken to safety, and it will be handed over to my apprentices, you should go to the Adventurers' Guild to find help. Wilson said with great difficulty to the soldiers who rushed in.
The badly wounded old magister was carried by the soldiers to the infirmary, and at the same time, according to the old maguster's request, he watched the entrance to the secret passage and sent people to search for it.
In the dim secret passage, Zhou Lie struggled to move forward, the weakness caused by blood loss was reflected in his body at this moment, this could be said to be the most serious injury he had ever suffered in his life, and now he had to flee to the planned location as soon as possible.
"Hey, why don't you talk. Zhou Lie called out to Frem in his mind.
"Because I think you're dying, it's not surprising that the group of people just handed you over at this time. The father said angrily, "And that girl just now, you will never be able to win." ”
"Accidents, accidents. Zhou Lie smiled and said, "I didn't expect Augustus to hire a helper, otherwise this scene would have been performed very well,"
"I really don't know what's the point of you doing such a thankless job. ”
"It can help the rebels not to be suspected, and at the same time it can mislead Augustus in the direction of the search, that's all. ”
"Hey. With this sound, sighing, Zhou Lie seemed to be able to see Frem helplessly there with his own face.
"You want to say that these have nothing to do with me?" Zhou Lie said with a smile.
"I already know what you're thinking, it's not the right time for you to change your attitude, at least not now. ”
"It's the right thing to do, and naturally the sooner the better, or rather, it's better now. Zhou Lie smiled.
What will happen to these people really has nothing to do with him, but again, for them, he is also an insignificant existence, although Alex said that their leader does not want to involve himself, but will someone else secretly leak it?
Eventually, it will become a situation of mutual harm, Zhou Lie does not like this situation, this is usually the beginning of tragedy, so he decided to play a scene with the rebels, as long as he appears and attacks them, they can perfectly get rid of suspicion, and the information they provide will be accepted by the other party without suspicion, and then only need to hide the important information that he is an Oriental.
It was a reciprocal business, and if successful, Zhou Lie would be able to avoid the danger of being targeted, and the rebels would be able to make Augustus no longer embarrass them, thus agreeing to their terms.
Originally, his intended opponent was the magician of the rebels, Lian, who was supposed to hide in the room, and the two of them would destroy the room used for the meeting after Aiden sent Fawkes and them all into the dark tunnel, and then created the illusion that they defeated Lian, but they couldn't find the target to retreat.
However, for him now, he is facing two dangers, one is the possibility of being betrayed by the other party, after all, he unilaterally used a means similar to kidnapping to reach an agreement with the other party, if the other party sees himself like this, it is not strange to think that he will sell it.
The second is naturally Layla, who is still in hot pursuit.
After walking for a while, a petite girl appeared in front of Zhou Lie, perhaps the word girl is not appropriate, although the figure seems to be only the size of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, but the indifferent look on her face and the gaze that examines Zhou Lie tell Zhou Lie that this is a mature woman with rich experience.
"Are you the lotus?" Zhou Lie asked as he looked at the other party.
Lian nodded, looked at Zhou Lie's situation, snorted coldly, shook his head and said, "You are really miserable like this, come with me." Then he turned and walked forward.
"This is where to go. ”
"That girl named Layla is about to catch up, and you need to get out of here before you do. Lian said in a flat tone, "But if you are injured like this, I'm afraid you won't last long." ”
Zhou Lie laughed a few times self-deprecatingly, "Small injury, just lead the way." ”
According to Alex that night, this secret passage leads to some of the houses in the old street, and the owners of those houses are the homes of members of the Resistance, and when the time comes, it will be considered complete as long as he changes his clothes and escapes, but he did not expect to have to fight Layla now.
"Speaking of which, we should really thank you for your willingness to help us. Lian said suddenly in front.
"I'm just here to help myself. Zhou Lie replied lightly.
"May I ask what you would do if we didn't agree to your request, didn't raise the red flag there, or we simply lied to you?"
"This is a question that my companion has often asked me, and to him my answer is, since I have decided to do such a thing, there is no other way but to believe in you, and if you do not agree, I will not show up, and if you betray, then you will either die or I will die. ”
"Hmph, it sounds very backbone, but it's actually reckless at all, I really don't know how such a reckless person as you became a magician. Lian said with some reproach in his tone, "But for us, as long as we can bring trouble to the empire, we will naturally not refuse, so you don't have to worry about being betrayed, in fact, we are afraid that you are Augustus's people." ”
"Haha. ”
"What's in that box?" asked Lian.
Zhou Lie was silent for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know, but even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you what it was." ”
"Then you like it, and you think it's okay. Lian replied lightly, then reached out and darkened a stone on the wall, and a secret door opened, revealing a courtyard outside.
"I was wounded by you and fell to the wall, and then you ran over the wall and escaped from here, and then the little girl will leave this courtyard with the blood you left behind. ”
"And I'm actually healing in my room. ”
Lian nodded.
After thanking him, Zhou Lie was short and got out of this secret door.
