Chapter 42: Demonized Werther (1)
Silent Mine.
Werther was still in his study intently reviewing the papers, and he still didn't pay attention to the intruder's affairs.
There were a lot of documents, and each one meant a lot of money transactions, and he had to be careful.
"Well, has the land tax at Blythwell Manor been delayed for two weeks? It seems that it is time to teach them a bloody lesson! ”
"In a month's time, Princess Anne's motorcade will pass through Riverdale? Well, it seems that the little cubs have to be restrained a little, but they can't annoy Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
"After the accident in Greenstone, a large number of people from the north moved south, hehe, it's a good opportunity, and I can make a lot of money again."
Werther is very proficient in his 'business', and he is very fast in the processing of documents, and he really likes the sense of control over the fate of others, and it is not boring at all.
I don't know how long it took, but Witt's ears suddenly moved, and he heard a hurried footstep outside the study, and from the footsteps, he judged the mood of the other man: 'The footsteps were very chaotic, of varying severity, and this man was uncertain and seemed to be frightened. ’
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, there was a knock on the door of the study, and the voice of his deputy, Collins, came from outside the door: "Chief, something is wrong!" ”
Werther was stunned, he hadn't reacted yet, subconsciously, he didn't associate this with the invaders who had broken into the valley before.
How could a few people pose a threat to him? Unless all the fighters who come are level 6, but the level 6 warriors will come to trouble a little person like him with empty food?
"Come in and say."
Werther quickly put down the file in his hand, and then opened the cabinet in the room, there was a set of pure black light leather armor, the leather armor was made of very special material, and its surface seemed to be faintly shrouded in a dark mist, as long as it was placed in the dark, it could completely melt into it.
This is the Night Cat's leather armor, a set, a magical piece of equipment given to him by the 'big man'.
Witt quickly took off his ordinary clothes and began to put on the powerful leather armor. Collins also walked in, and he quickly said, "There are four people in the valley, and all the people in the valley have no news. The people in the mine went and went, and none of them came back. ”
"Where's Grint?" Collins asked.
"Grint, he's dead, and there seems to be a magician on the other side." Collins' voice trembled slightly.
The intruder was so fast, and there was not a single living hole left, that Collins's information was very vague, and he didn't even fully understand the key piece of information about the magician that was enough to determine the outcome of the battle.
"What? Enchanter? Witt was taken aback, and the idea of running away immediately occurred in his mind, the magician was too mysterious for him to dare to fight against.
He didn't know why there were magicians looking for trouble with him, he had always been very careful, the territory of the East Valley High School of Magic, he never invaded, how could this situation still occur?
He couldn't figure it out, but he knew that the most important thing he should do now was to run away and avoid the enemy's edge.
Putting on the hood of the night owl suit, Werther quickly packed up the papers on the table, but there were too many documents for him to take with him, so he could only quickly put away some important documents after thinking about it.
Putting the papers in the package, packing them, and carrying them on his back, Werther took out another box in the corner, which contained the black crystal that the big man had just left behind, and he had to take it with him.
That big man is also a magician, and he dares to delay other people's affairs, but this big man can't.
Armed with the gem and most of his possessions, Werther took out a dagger that shimmered with black light, which was also magical equipment, but it was a weapon that Grint had spent a lot of money on for himself.
He tucked the dagger into the holster on the side of his leg, then he turned to Collins and said, "Let's go, let's get out of here." ”
"What about the brothers?" Collins swallowed.
"I can't care so much."
It's just some hooligan robbers, as long as he has money, he can quickly recruit a new batch, and he has money!
Collins nodded, silently following Werther's footsteps.
But the two of them still underestimated the speed of the intruder, and had just walked out of the study for only a dozen seconds, when he passed through a long mine road, and Witt had to stop.
On the opposite side of the mine, a strong man covered in glazed light blocked his way, and behind the strong man followed four people, a female swordsman, an archer, and two thin teenagers who looked exactly the same and seemed to be twin brothers. (One of them is Link's stand-in magic, but Witt can't see through it)
"Damn! How can it be so fast! Werther frowned, and his way was blocked.
Across from him.
When the archer Gridan saw Werther, he couldn't help laughing: "Look, look, it's good that we came quickly, otherwise this mouse would have had to burrow and escape." ”
The other party was carrying a package on his back and his steps were in a hurry, and a discerning person knew at a glance that he was ready to escape.
Seeing that the road was blocked, Deputy Collins stammered: "Chief, what should I do?" ”
Witt didn't speak, it was difficult for him to protect himself now, how could he have time to care about others.
A pair of eyes just staring at the movements of the intruder on the other side, he slowly retreated, and soon, he retreated into the darkness, the effect of the wildcat's leather armor appeared, and his body melted perfectly into the darkness, almost disappearing.
Collins suddenly found that his leader was gone, and immediately knew that he had been abandoned, and seeing his opponent approaching, he suddenly fell to the ground and screamed loudly: "Don't kill me!" Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I don't want to die! ”
"It's really noisy." Lucy looked disdainful.
Gridan took his bow and prepared to kill the coward with an arrow, but Link reached out to block him: "Keep him first, he knows a lot of secrets about Werther." ”
Originally, it was better to leave Werther, but Werther is not easy to deal with at first glance, and it is not easy to keep his hands during the battle, and his greatest possibility is to be killed on the spot!
The eyes of the three mercenaries lit up, yes, this guy looked like Werther's deputy, and he must know where Werther's cunning fox's money was hidden.
Ark had already walked up to Collins and slashed at Collins' neck with a knife in one hand, knocking his opponent unconscious.
"Werther is gone." Lucy's brow furrowed.
"The black leather armor he wears is strange, he must be hiding in the shadows, everyone be careful, this Werther is a very powerful assassin." Link reminded again.
Ark immediately leaned down and took a few steps back to Link.
"Protect Mr. Link." He whispered, as a mercenary, he knew that it was the assassins who posed a great threat to the mage's life.
Lucy and Gridan all gathered around, protecting Link and his stand-in in the middle.
In the dark.
Witt stepped back slightly, his gaze fixed on the five men in the dim candlelight, especially the twin magicians who were guarded in the middle.
"These guys are very average, just that strong man. This group of people was able to break through so quickly, and they must have relied on the strength of those two magicians. These two magicians don't even have defensive magic on them, this is my chance! ”
Werther has been cornered, and since there is no way to escape, he can only fight desperately.
Desperately speaking, it is strategic: "As long as you kill the magician, these three stupid mercenaries will definitely not be able to catch up with me, and I will be able to escape." When I get out of here, hmph, I remember the three of you! ”
After he went out, he directly issued a bounty for the lives of these three guys, and he didn't have to do it himself, and under the stimulation of gold coins, it wouldn't be long before the heads of these three guys would be held in front of him by the mercenaries.
Werther's mind spun quickly, looking for his chance to kill.
However, he still underestimated the power of the magician, more precisely, Link, he was not a soft persimmon to be kneaded.
The superficially thin body is just a disguise for him.
As soon as he discovers that Werther has disappeared into the darkness, Link spends 1 free point to buy new magic.
Illumination
Level 0 magic
Purpose: Creates a ball of light comparable to that of five candle lamps for one hour.
A level 0 magic two-point magic energy is equivalent to lighting five candles in the passage, and there is not much magic energy left in Link's body, but he still has a bottle of low-level magic energy potion with him.
Decisively drank the potion, regained his magical energy, and learned the magic light spell at the same time, and then he began to cast spells.
This magic is a normal version of the free points, the cast speed is about 0.1 seconds, Link did not hesitate to release ten, in the passage, every two meters to throw one, especially those dark corners, Link even deliberately threw one more.
In an instant, the dark passage was illuminated by the light technique.
Darkness was the refuge of the Assassins, but once the darkness was dispelled, the Assassins lost their greatest support.
In a gloomy corner illuminated by the Illumination, Werther, dressed in black leather armor, remained latent and stood there dumbfounded when the light came.
An assassin can't sneak attack, how can this make people fight?
At this time, Witt was like a girl stripped naked in the downtown area, and her mood was extremely messy, and she didn't know what to do next.
"Haha, a mouse under the sun!" Gridan laughed and put his bow on the arrow, which was decisively an arrow.
Ark charged directly, Lucy didn't follow, she cautiously stood by Link's side, just in case.
"Ding! Ding bang~"
There was a chaotic sound, and in the face of Ark and Gridan's tacit attack, Werther struggled to hold on for two rounds, and then, his body was hit head-on by Jacque's big iron shield, and Lucy was stabbed deeply in the heart, which was a fatal injury.
In the scream, his whole body flew out like a kite with a broken string, vomiting blood as he flew, flew straight out five or six meters away, hit the rock wall of the passage with a 'bang', and then rolled to the ground with bones.
He was no longer breathing.
The assassin can't fight the warrior head-on, not to mention the rest, the weapons of both sides are not suitable for hard resistance, one is a light dagger, the other is a heavy iron shield and war hammer, and it is also two to one, Werther can last two rounds before dying, which is already very, very good.
Link's vision has been filled with the message that the mission has been completed, and he has been rewarded with the free points rewarded by the mission, and his free points have become 13 points.
"That's it?" The Flamingo mercenaries were still a little incredulous, because the whole process was so easy, compared to the previous difficult bounty missions, this mission was like a vacation trip.
"Nope! And that's not all! ”
At first, Link thought the mission was done, but he saw a fist-sized black crystal rolling out of Werther's back, and black gas was constantly spilling out of Werther's blood.
As soon as these breaths appeared, the temperature of the entire mine passage dropped by many degrees, and Link's flash magic became extremely dim, like flickering candlelight.
What's even more terrifying is that these black gases continue to penetrate Werther's nostrils like life, and Werther's body actually began to tremble slightly.
"What the hell is this?" Gridan exclaimed.
It's so weird that a dead man is moving again!
At the same time, there was a constant cave of light and shadow in Link's vision, and Link saw that it was a new mission.
Trigger Mission: Demon Slayer!
Content: Kill Werther the Demon.
Reward: 30 free points.
The higher the number of free points, the higher the difficulty of the mission, just killing a target has 30 free points, what kind of existence is this demonized Werther?
Link was a little scared!
