664 Ancient City in Ice 4

If you want to find Miss Lisa, you must carefully search for any possible place, and you can't fly directly through the city for the sake of convenience and speed. And in such an unfamiliar place, low-key walking is also safer than swaggering flight. Who knows if there is evil and evil buried under the thick snow in this strange Second Age city.

After descending the inner staircase down the city wall, the group began to move in the direction that Master Jinyue had pointed out.

The swordsman personally walked at the front to lead the way, followed by Geralt and Gordon and others, and the three-month elves led by An Chu walked at the back of the line. Gordon actually has some objections to this arrangement. Because that moon elf An Chu's attitude towards himself was very cold, and he could even be called hostile. Although after the last warning from Master Jin Yue, he didn't dare to blatantly find fault, but this guy seized the opportunity to sarcastically say a few words from time to time, and then unabashedly showed his superiority and moral purity towards human beings. Under the influence of An Chu, the attitude of his elven subordinates towards Gordon in those two months was also very bad.

Gordon even doubted that if there was another fight, the other side would take advantage of the chaos to attack him from behind. For a racist paranoid, this is a very likely behavior.

"Why can't I meet a truly elegant and noble elf, but instead have to deal with such a psychopath?" Gordon sighed.

Gordon decided that after exploring for a certain amount of time, if he could be sure that the city was not too dangerous, he was ready to go alone with Venia and Ji'er.

Gordon wasn't worried about Miss Lisa's safety. The daily payments may be generous to the average adventurer, but they are unattractive to him. Truth be told, in addition to the security factor. He didn't have a reason to stay here any longer.

A group of people from Antolia tried their best to find their eldest lady; Gordon pondered when to leave; Geralt thinks about her witch lover Trissy; The Aziz siblings, on the other hand, wanted to go to the Tower of Eternity in the center of the city to find out.

The team of each member made their way through the ruins of an ancient city from the Second Age. The surrounding snow-capped architecture of Akchohia was fresh at first, but as time went on, it lost interest.

Four dragonborn warriors spread their wings and leaped back and forth on the rooftops on either side of the road, condescendingly. Conduct vigilance and reconnaissance around the perimeter.

"Hey, Gordon." Ji'er, who had been chatting with Venia, walked a few quick steps to Gordon's side. "I said, are you being too cautious, we walked for almost two hours and searched four buildings. Miss Lisa, who was missing, was not found. I didn't encounter any enemies either. The city doesn't seem to be dangerous, isn't it time for us to part with these Antolians? ”

She glanced behind her and said with a look of disgust, "I hate those three-month elves. Especially the short-haired woman to Anchu's left, I've heard her whispering me and Sister Vignya a few times as 'shameless human bitches'. Thanks to my father's excellent education since I was a child, otherwise, I would have been tempted to run over and tear that woman's mouth! ”

"You're the eldest lady of the Phoenix family, so why bother to be like that kind of elf with extreme thoughts? Not...... Then again, follow me as ugly and obscene as Dumpty. And the beautiful women who live together are indeed easy to think of bad places...... In the eyes of most people. There's no way you two are with me because of true love. ”

"Besides, you nasty ghost, you chose such a disgusting appearance disguise. To tell you the truth, if I didn't know your true colors, I wouldn't have said a word to this ugly dead fat man! Ji'er pinched Gordon lightly to show her dissatisfaction.

"I'm just trying to save you money." Gordon said helplessly.

Now his dignity is actually the image of Zào created when he attacked the Eisenstein family's Gray Shadow Fort in the past, which was specially used to deceive that demon. In the city of symmetry, in order to seize the time, he didn't bother to create a new disguise, so he simply used this ready-made shape template.

However, Ji'er's mention is not unreasonable. He had just opened the magic crystal ball along the way, and he had already recorded enough video information to go back to the king of the City of Order to give an errand, and he couldn't afford to waste any more time here.

After contacting the main material realm, it is only serious to make the next step.

"Alright, I'll talk to Geralt about it, and then we'll all go back to the City of Symmetry. The fate of Miss Lisa has nothing to do with us. The city is quirky, but discovering its secrets is not something that can be done in a short time, and we need to take a long-term view. ”

As soon as Gordon's words were finished, the peaceful and eerie city in the eyes of him and Ji'er gave the two of them a big surprise.

Sou!

A long, shrill sound pierced the air and shattered the silence that had lasted for hours.

The whistling sound came from far and near, suddenly. Before the people on the street could react, the Dragonborn warrior, the youngest of the four brothers, who was standing on the roof of a small two-story building on the left, was struck by a sharp flash of metal.

A puddle of blood bloomed in his chest, and the sudden attack of the arrow was so powerful that it not only shattered his breastplate and shot into his body, but even pierced through his body by inertia, and finally stabbed into the wall behind the dragonborn warrior, stirring up a pillar of flying snow.

Shattering armor and blasting metal shards mixed with blood fell on the white snow, and the Dragonborn warrior fell to the ground with a thud. Seeing this, his brother next to him whispered his brother's name, and then immediately squatted down and took out a black potion from his coat pocket.

Lead dragons and other subspecies of metal dragons, also known as "iron-eating dragons", have one of the biggest differences from the genuine metal dragons in that they must eat various metals through guò to obtain the energy necessary for life. And after an injury, you can also eat a lot of metal to quickly repair your body.

After drinking the Leaddrake's special healing potion that uses magic to extract metal essence, the warrior's injuries finally stopped. At this time, the others also started a battle with the sudden attack of the enemy.

Suddenly, an army appeared in the small circular square at the end of the street. There was a small team, and the super-heavy cavalry riding the Earth Walking Dragon had already lined up in a dense assault formation, and was making the final preparations before charging. The surrounding buildings are full of archers. They were struggling to draw their longbows into a full moon, and then covered the heads of Gordon and his party with a dense rain of arrows.

Even, on the two vantage points, two scorpion crossbows were installed. Although this portable war machine cannot be used to bombard city walls like a catapult, it is extremely effective in armor-piercing and is a powerful weapon against heavily armored targets. The dragonborn warrior on Gordon's side just now was pierced through the chest by the arrow fired by this scorpion crossbow and was seriously injured on the spot.

"What's going on, why are there so many enemies all of a sudden!" Jin Yue asked loudly, and at the same time drew his sword, and a stream of air shot out from the blade, directly sweeping away a large rain of arrows.

"Master, I don't know either!" With embarrassment and distress on their faces, the leader of the four Dragonborn guards evacuated the dangerous and unsheltered roof with the other three. He was anxious about his brother's serious injury, but he also felt guilty for not finding the enemy in time.

Faced with Jin Yue's inquiry, he couldn't answer.

Because the four Dragonborn warriors who were on alert and reconnaissance really didn't know how this well-trained enemy army appeared out of thin air.

"It's not like a creature, it's an undead?"

"Not really. I didn't feel anything unusual about the negative energy aura in this area. ”

The two mages, Gordon and Aziz, exchanged arrows while shielding themselves and those nearby. After being attacked, Master Jin Yue, who was a martial artist, was thinking about how to reverse the unfavorable situation as much as possible, while the two people, who were spellcasters, were discussing the nature and origin of those strange enemies on the other side. That's the difference between professionalism.

"Look at their armor and banners, it should be the army of the Monroe puppet emperor, and the allegiance is to Tiamat, the five-colored dragon queen."

Monroe. Mondetius was the emperor elected by the five-colored dragon side during the civil war between the Akhorhian Empire. Since Gordon is working for Lord Bahamut, he naturally stands on the side of the metal dragon and calls that guy a puppet emperor.

At this time, the rain of arrows on the opposite side became more and more frequent, and in the middle of the heavily defended Chinese army formation behind the small square, large fireballs flew towards this side. The pressure on the defense suddenly increased, and Aziz could no longer distract himself from chatting with Gordon. And the latter, because of the assistance of the Ten Thousand Ancient Orbs, doubled the effect of the spells of the Protection School, and it was more than enough to deal with this kind of Cheng Dù's attack. He observed the battle situation and made a decision.

"Ji'er, Venia, follow me to the roof."

There is an enhanced version of the protective arrow spell on top, and those scary-looking dense arrow rain attacks actually don't pose much of a threat to Gordon. On the contrary, now that they have put down their cavalry guns, the ground dragoons with the sharp tips of the guns are as cold as a forest, and the trouble is even greater. If you wait for these cavalry to run over like a steamroller, it will be very bad.

Although he was only a mage, he was protected by many spells, and he was protected by a sub-artifact mage robe, so Gordon flew up to the roof first, and then naturally became the target of everyone.

He ignored the crackling arrows that rained off by the protective spell, and threw out two fireballs, blowing up the enemy's two most threatening scorpion crossbows.

In the midst of the explosion, Gordon sees a strange thing. The scorpion crossbow and its operator disappeared in an instant like an illusory and fragile blister in the violent release of fire energy. When the burning spell effect was gone, there was not even a single residue or corpse left. (To be continued......)
