"Uncle, what's your name, and where are you from?"

"My name is Hillman, and I'm a traveling merchant in Nightcastle, and I've been in the Northwest for many years. ”

A middle-aged man named Hillman led them to his carriage and showed them his wares.

"Medicine, iron, and salt, all of the most popular commodities in the Night Castle!" Hillman said, pointing to a wagon full of goods, his face full of pride, as if they were about to turn into sparkling gold coins.

"What is this?" said Auston, who asked, pointing to a pocket in the corner of the carriage, the string of which was loose, and a fiery red stone fell out of it, which, judging by the opening of the bag, was full of it.

"Ahh

"Whew!" Hillman wiped the sweat from his forehead with his cuffs and put the cloth bag away, before turning to Cizer and the three.

"It was so dangerous just now! Fortunately, I found it early. ”

"Uncle, what is this thing for? Is it dangerous?" Diablo was a little puzzled, he felt that Hillman had just behaved a little timid, not at all like a traveling merchant.

"What do you know!" Hillman glared at him fiercely, "The fire magic stone is the energy source of the city defense cannon, if this bag of fire magic stones is blown up, you won't survive!"

Diablo smiled wryly, he still knew something about the giant cannon, which was a real battlefield killer, so he also understood what kind of power that seemingly small magic stone plum contained.

"Can magic stones be artificially made?" Cizer thought about the red and fiery color that had been revealed before, and somehow the idea suddenly came to him.

"Well...... Hillman mused, "Strictly speaking, it's not wrong that high-grade magic stones are artificially made, but its raw materials are still a large number of low-grade magic stones, so the reserves of magic stones available for use have not been high. ”

Cizer nodded, which explained why the magic stones of the empire were so scarce, and even Cizer had not seen a single object after taking classes for so long.

The Cizers talked to Hillman for a while and then began to rest.

Hillman slept next to his carriage, and although no one in the wilderness came to steal his goods, he insisted on resting there. Cizer, on the other hand, chose a relatively soft grass, spread a mat, and slept on the ground without taking off his clothes.

In the summer, there is always the sound of insects chirping in the wild, but unlike the hustle and bustle of the city, it is always easy to fall asleep to the natural music.

It's just that Cizer is destined to not be able to sleep soundly today.

A few gray shadows came to the meadow where Cizer and the others were under the cover of night, when a dark cloud floated out of nowhere in the night sky, obscuring the moonlight, and the sound of insects around them seemed to be faint by the arrival of uninvited guests.

The first gray figure to arrive glanced at the two groups of people not far away, and agreed with the gray shadow who arrived later with a gesture, six gray men surrounded them, and three gray men went to Hillman.

Just as the six gray shadows were about to strike at Cizer, suddenly! Cizer, who was lying on the ground, suddenly jumped up, and his eyes burst into light!

"There are enemies!" Cezel cried out as he gripped the hilt of the sword beside him, which Barto had taught them to never leave at any moment!

There were only three of the six people who were closest to Cizer, and when they saw Cizer suddenly get up, they showed a strong psychological quality and chose to shoot at the first time.

"Thorns!"

The first Grey Shadow seems to be an experienced magician, and he chose this kind of two-star magic that can be instantaneous for the first time, and it is also a group attack!

Cizer could easily dodge it, but what about Diablo and Auston, who were still on the ground?

Looking at it, Cezel's heart fell. The two of them probably came to their senses the moment they heard Cizer's warning, and they both left the range of the ground thorns, and only one mat left in place was torn apart.

The two Grey Shadow men didn't mean to watch them flee, and each of them beckoned to Cizer with a thick heavy sword in his hand.

"Holy Light Slash!"

Cizer took a deep breath and raised his sword to meet him!

Sonorous!

Two crisp sounds sounded, and a huge force suddenly came from Cezel's hand, which violently pressed his body down, and he almost lost his footing. But at the same time, a dazzling light suddenly bloomed on his sword, and the two sword-wielding gray shadows had to quickly retreat before they were caught off guard.

This is Cezel's own modified Holy Light Slash, which gathers the magic power that was originally slashed out onto the sword, and then bursts out in an instant, stabbing the enemy's eyes.

Diablo and Auston reacted when Cizer shouted, their eyes closed for a moment, after all, they had all suffered under this trick.

Cizer took advantage of the victory and pursued, bursting out, and the two swords and their tricky angles pierced the throats and hearts of the two gray shadows. However, this also made him fall into the circle of three people who came later.

"Fireball!"

"Wind Sword!"

"Whack!"

Cizer didn't have time to get out, and was suddenly attacked by three people at the same time, and could only barely defend against a sword and a sword, but he was hit by a fireball the size of a basin!

"Peng!"

The spark exploded, and Cizer could only do his best to protect his fragile face, but there were massive burns on his body, and his clothes were set on fire.

However, Cizer also took advantage of the fireball to hit him and quickly took a few steps back, out of the danger of the three.

"Are you alright?" Auston, who arrived first, threw a red potion at Cizer.

After quickly taking it, and after drinking the healing potion with Gollum, Cezel's injuries were much better, and the fiery feeling of sympathy was replaced by a sense of coolness.

"It's okay, watch out for those two magicians!!Deal with them first!" Cizer was right, magicians are usually the focus of a fight, after all, you don't know if you will be greeted by a forbidden spell that will be smashed down after he chants.

Auston immediately understood what Cizer meant, and his speed increased sharply, and he rushed to the lone magician, the silver light of the dagger reflected from his cuffs.

Diablo also rushed towards the three-person squad at this time, a pair of hideous fist gloves like the sharp teeth of a magic dragon.

"Wind Blade!" was another two-star magic, but Diablo didn't even block it, and an iron fist rushed straight up, tearing the Wind Blade apart.

"Stop him!" the magician roared, and the two melee gray-robed men immediately rushed forward to intercept Diablo, and the magician chanted in a low voice, a huge wave of magic was gathering!

"Cizer, come on!" Diablo shouted, then laughed maniacally and rushed towards the two gray-robed men.

Cizer stepped forward quickly, but the magician's chant ended unusually quickly, and by the time Cizer rushed in front of him, the chant had already reached the last step.

“......

Roar, Endless Tempest!"

The mage was quickly wound around by a tornado, and Cizer stabbed it with a sword, only to be bounced back by a tremendous force.

Cizer couldn't help but staggered back two steps, looking at the increasingly massive storm tornado, and secretly screaming in his heart!

"Hahaha...... This is a four-star magical polar storm, you can't break it!Surrender!" the magician's sinister smile came from the storm, making Cezel's face even more difficult to look at.

"Why? can't you break it?" Auston's voice rang in Cezel's ears, he had already eliminated another mage, a mage without a meat shield, powerless in front of an elite assassin like Auston.

"I've tried, but it's difficult, none of our divine power has broken through the three-star magic, and there is no way to do anything about the four-star magic. Cezel's tone was a little heavy, and it was very bad news.

However, the good news is that a continuous type of magic like the Polar Tornado can only be used by four-star magicians, and while maintaining the magic, they can't afford to cast another spell.

As for the possibility that this magician is a five-star......

It's too small!

So Cizer and Auston quickly helped Diablo deal with the two gray-robed men, and then surrounded the tornado and discussed countermeasures.

At the same time, the magician in the center of the tornado was also anxious. He knew that the five men who had come with him were probably not counting on him, but what about three of his companions who were going to deal with the merchant? Why hadn't they come yet! I couldn't hold it anymore!!

The polar tornado is a property that autonomously absorbs free wind magic, and the longer it lasts, the stronger the tornado. Theoretically, this is a magic that can grow into a forbidden spell!

But unless the person who casts this magic is a nine-star forbidden spell mage, he won't be able to maintain the moment when Tatsumaki grows into a forbidden spell. And a true nine-star magician naturally has a better choice.

But now, it was only a four-star magician who performed this magic, and at this time he already felt that his control of magic was gradually overwhelmed, and as the magic power became more and more huge, it was only a matter of time before he lost control!

Just as the magician's heart was getting heavier, a voice came from the direction of the carriage, making the three Cizers even more vigilant!

"Three...... Help!"

Under the shocked gaze of the three Cizers, Hillman emerged from the shadows and was running towards them in a row, while the three gray-robed men behind him were in hot pursuit.

"Oops!"

As if something had suddenly tripped under his feet, Hillman lunged forward, only to avoid a fireball flying above his head!

"Whew!"

Then Hillman rolled twice to the right like a god of luck possessed him, and perfectly flashed two sword lights.

Hillman still had time to glance back at the deep scar left on the ground, then let out a strange cry and ran up to Cezel.

"Help! they're going to kill me!" Hillman looked crying, his voice trembling a little.

The Cizer trio were utterly shocked.

"You've been traveling all these years, don't you have any skills?" asked Cezel.

"Yes. Hillman wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Hold the thighs of people with real skills, and don't let them go!"

Looking at Hillman, who had a serious face, recalling the hearty and reliable impression he had left on him, Cizer felt that his worldview had been impacted.

"Haven't you encountered a situation where you don't have thighs to hold?" Cizer still didn't believe it, how did this kind of person survive until now?

Hillman was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then showed a look of careful recollection, and then looked firmly into Cizer's eyes and said.

"No! every thigh hug!"

Looking at Hillman's serious face, Cizer felt defeated. Behind him, Diablo and Auston both had the same expressions, as if they were constipated.

What kind of person is this!
