Section 61 Hands-on
The expelled crowd dispersed quickly, and the members of the Lord's Guard became more impatient, and they quickly drove away the slow-moving people—Kate, who was standing on the second-floor windowsill, saw with her own eyes at least five or six men being carried sideways by these tiger-fighting guys.
Andrew was not very tall, which Kate remembered, his robes were as wide as ever, and the low brim of his mage hat obscured her vision, preventing her from seeing his face. Whether as a lord or as a mage, staying mysterious is a necessary means of domination.
Not far from what Duran expected, Andrew really didn't choose the carriage. In fact, the streets of the municipal district are very close to the market area, and many farmers have set up their stalls here, so it is very difficult for traffic, and if you ride a horse-drawn carriage, I am afraid that it will take a lot of trouble, and it is better to walk faster.
"It looks like that batch of materials is really important to him." Kate couldn't help frowning, out of the instinct of the caster, she had a sense of foreboding when she saw the pile of corpses and the materials scattered around the corpses. It has long been rumored that the dragon mage Andrew has exhausted his talent for spellcasting, and it seems that he has started to work on other ways without a formal wizard training system, and it seems that this is not unfounded. According to Duran, several of those materials were related to the black sorcery or evil spirits of the lower planes.
Although I don't know why Duran always understands a lot, Kate still believes him unreservedly.
Andrew didn't have many people on this trip, probably two squads. One squad is responsible for clearing the way, and the other is responsible for protecting him. Probably he didn't expect that someone would dare to assassinate a lord of the Dragonman Empire in broad daylight and above his territory, right?
"There's always something amazing about this guy." Thinking of Duran's stunned appearance when he proposed this plan, Kate couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and amused. Now Andrew's defense strength has dropped to a low point, and she knows that she will face at least five times as many guards as she does in Bergen Manor.
What's more, there is also a knight with a bloody oath, and although Mr. Qiu's plan failed unexpectedly, it is also reasonable.
Thinking of this, Kate's heartbeat began to speed up for some reason. The thought popped into her mind: What if this assassination of Andrew was the same as the last time? Things didn't go the way Duran had planned, so what would have happened in the end?
As soon as the thought came to him, it was like a wild horse running wild in Kate's mind. Just like the previous time, before the Legion Knight of the Burning Blood Oath made a move, she even thought that Mr. Qiu's plan was about to succeed, and Andrew was indeed in danger. However, at that moment, the sword light flashed in their eyes, and it was all over. And this time, will it be like the last time, and Andrew will have a back hand?
Kate was a little flustered, she managed to settle down, and the small team surrounding the dragon mage had already walked downstairs to her. Two of the young men also glanced up at Kate, who was leaning against the window—her face had been slightly modified by Duran's transfiguration, and the lines of her face had become thicker and stiffer, so she was not afraid that Andrew would recognize her.
Time was of the essence, and Kate was not allowed to think too much. She silently replayed Duran's plan in her mind, then suddenly reached out the window with her hands. In an instant, the warlock was in the state of casting the spell.
A fiery red mark popped up from her palm, and in the blink of an eye, a pumpkin-sized fireball surged out of her palm!
[Purgatory Fireball], an upgraded version of Purgatory Fire, Kate's latest comprehension of spells.
Demons are experts at playing with fire, and the Purgatory Fireball is stronger than ordinary fireballs not only in terms of size, but also in terms of power - the moment the fireball appeared, the man in the luxurious clothes seemed to notice it, and his body fluctuated violently, and a faint purple color enveloped him in it.
"Magical Protection and Repulsion Enchantment." Seeing Andrew's quick reaction, Kate knew that she might not be able to do much harm to him. The effect of the magic repelling enchantment cast by the gold-rank mage was still very remarkable, and she didn't even have to look back to guess the result - the fireball smashed on the enchantment, and was immediately absorbed or assimilated by the anti-demon position, and one of the unlucky ghosts next to him might have taken a little damage, but this damage was simply insignificant compared to the power of the Purgatory Fireball.
It was just that it was all her imagination, and she herself had already fled the room and rushed down the stairs.
At the moment when she rushed down the stairs, the door of the hotel had been pushed open, and a leader-like guy brandished a long sword and a small shield in his hand, and angrily shouted, "Everyone get down for me!" Damn, you actually dare to sneak attack the lord in Baisha Town, you guys, follow me. ”
Kate deliberately took half a step down the hall, pretending to see a group of guards, then exclaimed, covered her mouth and turned to flee.
"There! It's that woman. A soldier said.
"Follow me!" Without thinking, the leader rushed through the corridor with a dozen or so men - just then, they saw Kate easily jump over the high wall in the backyard with the help of Simodo, and the mercenary man followed unequivocally.
Behind the walls were complex alleys, and Duran had already mapped out their escape routes, and behind the inn was a bustling market area, where Kate and Simodo could have taken a small group of the Lord's Guard around.
"Chase!" The leader shouted angrily, and the guy who rushed to the front jumped over the wall with great agility, and the rest of the group also jumped into the air.
Who knew that at this moment, a timid voice came from the shadows behind the corridor: "Adults, adults, I am a waiter at the inn. Are you after the woman? Her room is upstairs, would you like to go over and have a look? ”
The leader immediately pointed to the shortest guy at the back of the group and said, "You go up and have a look." ”
The rest of the group, led by the leader, quickly chased after Kate and Simodo, while the short man walked into the hallway, and he glanced at the young man who was standing timidly on the side, and suddenly felt a little familiar.
He raised his sword horizontally, and a hint of fear immediately flashed across the boy's face. The short man asked unceremoniously, "Who was that woman just now?" Why did you stay at your hotel? ”
The young man panicked and said, "My lord, we don't know anything about this!" She has nothing to do with our inn, and if she had been captured by the adults, the boss wouldn't have let her stay. ”
The short man thought about it too, so he nodded and said, "Where is her room, you lead the way." ”
The boy cringed and said, "I'm afraid of ......"
The short man snorted, and strotted up the stairs, without looking back, and said impatiently, "I'll go ahead." ”
"Okay, as you wish - you are indeed ahead." A cold voice came into his head, and his heart contracted suddenly, only to find that he had lost the ability to make a sound.
The short figure slammed down, and Duran pulled out the oak thorn with swift movements, expertly dragging him to the first-floor storage room, and then stripped him of his clothes.
"It's a little ugly, but it's easy to be ugly!" Duran took out the tools he had prepared and quickly got to work.
Three minutes later, the effect of the disguise and bone reduction was manifested, and Duran put on the other party's clothes, which were exactly the same as the original owner of the clothes.
"Hey, my lord, my subordinates have good news for you!" Duran tried to imitate the tone of the other man's voice for a moment, and walked out of the storage room on his own.
