Chapter 6: Murderous Intent
The old mage smiled and did not respond directly to Lin Zhao. Writing, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info This makes it difficult for Lin Zhao to dissipate the anxiety that has not yet been completely settled.
"This Master Lin Zhao, is he a friend of Mr. Magician?" The thin man in the magician's robe did not rush to attack, but asked, "I don't know what Mr. Magician's name is, and which province he belongs to?" β
Ionia has always been governed by a federation of provinces, and the elders in charge of the provinces are elected from among the powerful warriors and magicians of each province. The powerful characters of this city-state are usually related to each other, or know each other. The thin man was cautious, trying to find out the identity of the old hairdresser.
"I have no relationship with any province, I have always been here for retreat. As for the name, it is not well-known in Ionia, so it goes without saying. The old mage replied to the thin man's words, and then asked, "I wonder what Your Excellency wants to do when you bring these people to my temple?" β
Since the old mage didn't say it, the thin man didn't seem to have the heart to inquire about the identity of the old mage. He went straight to the point, pointed to Lin Zhao like the old mage and said, "This Mr. Lin Zhao is a great master carver. His work was very popular with our boss, so our boss wanted to meet him. But unfortunately, Master Lin Zhao seemed to have misunderstood us and was unwilling to go with us to meet the boss, which made us very embarrassed. β
Lin Zhao secretly sighed, this guy is really high-sounding! But at this time, he was not sure that he had broken the identities of these people, and whether the old mage still had the courage to save him, and then get involved in this storm, so the words stuck in his throat did not reveal the identities of these people.
The old mage turned his head and asked Lin Zhao, "Little guy, they have already explained, if it was really a misunderstanding just now, would you like to go with them now?" β
Lin Zhao shook his head very resolutely and said, "Of course not, their explanation is not worth believing. β
The old mage shrugged and said to the thin man, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency. The little guy has already made a decision. When you invite someone to be a guest, you always have to ask for the guest's consent. If you don't agree, please leave. β
The thin man's face turned cold, and he said coldly: "Honorable Mr. Magician, this guest is very important to the boss, please Mr. Magician don't stop us." β
The old mage smiled silently, and slammed the staff in his hand towards the ground, and a huge amount of runic energy flowed around the staff.
A chuckle rang out behind the old mage. Lin Zhaoxunsheng glanced back, but saw Sindra standing behind the old mage with her hands folded, looking at her with interest and burning eyes. Lin Zhao sensed it, and around Syndra's slender but not yet fully grown body, the flowing rune energy was more active than around the old mage's staff.
She seems to be looking forward to the coming of the conflict!
"I'm sorry, Mr. Magician. The boss is determined to win Master Lin Zhao, if you want to stop us, we have to rob us. The thin man spoke coldly, and as soon as the words fell, the surging rune energy formed a magic in his hand, and the bursting flames jumped directly through the space dozens of meters away and appeared at Lin Zhao's feet.
The thin man's goal was clear - it was Lin Zhao himself from the beginning.
And Lin Zhao, who had only mastered the technique of technical attack and the ability to simply perceive and mobilize rune energy, had no experience in resisting this kind of magic. The columnar wall of fire shot into the sky, encircling him and shrinking inward, but he could not do anything.
Poofββ
A dull, short sound.
It was exactly the same as the sound of the old mage slamming his staff to the ground last night when he destroyed Sindra's energy orb.
The wall of flames seemed to be disturbed by something, and suddenly it was like the wall collapsed, crumbling from top to bottom. The scenery of the world outside the wall of fire returned to Lin Zhao's eyes again. Lin Zhao was secretly happy in his heart, the old mage finally chose to make a move!
But at this moment, Lin Zhao suddenly felt that an extremely subtle energy was condensing on the bald scar-faced man's body.
The quality of that energy was so special, it was completely different from the "Caged Light" energy composition that the bald Scarface man had used before.
But it made Lin Zhao feel a little familiar.
ββIt seems...... When I threw off these four people and ran away before, I also felt this energy in a trance.
It's just that this energy is extremely subtle, and it flashes away, so he doesn't pay much attention.
I see!
Lin Zhao understood in an instant, he had never understood before, how could this thin man get the information and surround him with the bald man and the scar-faced man. But it turned out that it was because of another magic of the bald man with a scarface!
And now, he's going to call in again!
β¦β¦ Can't let him succeed!
Lin Zhao figured out this, and immediately pointed at the bald scar-faced man and said, "Stop him!" That bald head, he's using magic to tell the news! β
"Huh?" Sindra let out a soft sigh of surprise. With Lin Zhao's finger, it was not the old mage who did it, but Sindra.
Sindra also pointed in the direction that Lin Zhao was pointing. A pitch-black ball of energy suddenly formed where the bald scar-faced man was standing, and then burst open.
The bald-headed scar-faced man let out a muffled grunt and spat out a mouthful of scarlet blood. The communication magic that had just been condensed and was about to take shape was also immediately interrupted.
Lin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time was shocked.
He realized that when Sindra was angry last night, the energy orb he threw was just a small fight. The old mage said that Sindra couldn't hurt herself, and that there was a lot of moisture inside, so she couldn't take it seriously. If Sindra had moved her true character, even if she could sense a sudden attack like this, she would definitely not be able to dodge it.
The thin man's face suddenly darkened, and he was silent for a while, and said, "It seems that Mr. Magician has made up his mind to protect Master Lin Zhao." β
The old mage smiled, but still did not speak.
The thin man said again: "Then ask Mr. Magician to take care of Master Lin Zhao." Let's leave first, come back later, and persuade Master Lin Zhao to follow us to meet the boss. β
The old mage smiled and said, "Then I won't send it." β
The five men saluted the old mage and turned away.
The old mage really seemed to be planning to let them go, but Lin Zhao was in a hurry.
Lin Zhao knew very well that it was absolutely impossible for these people to really leave like this, and they would definitely find an opportunity to call their companions. The old mage may have been full of his own power, but he didn't understand that behind these people stood the most powerful city-state on the Valoran continent.
Can't let them go!
Lin Zhao gritted his teeth and said to the old mage, "Master Mage, if you still want your students to be able to learn magic from you without being in danger, please kill them!" β
