Just as the Hunter's Hall was already in sight, a noise suddenly entered Duland's ears, and then quickly approached him from far and near.
There was a series of exclamations, angry shouts, and the sound of weapons crashing and shattering artifacts, and then with a bang, the window on the second floor of the Hunter's Hall was actually slammed open from the inside!
The glass shattered all over the ground, and then a pair of huge, rough soles of feet stomped down, shaking the ground violently! Durand squinted and saw that it was a barbarian of the utmost strength.
The barbarians were dressed in trousers, shirtless and feet. He gasped heavily, his hands still handcuffed and chained. As soon as he landed, he stomped on the ground and ran all the way along the avenue.
Several of the Hunter's Hall guards roared as they chased after them, "Damn it! Don't let him escape! "Be careful, he's a sixth-level barbarian warrior, it's not easy to deal with!"
It seems that the barbarian was the prey of some hunter, but he let him escape during the handover in the Hunter's Hall. This kind of thing happens every day in the city of shepherds, and Durand has seen a lot of it, and he is not interested.
However, coincidentally, after the barbarian struggled to knock away the few people on the road who had no time to dodge, he actually rushed straight towards Duland!
This powerful barbarian whose strength was comparable to that of a six-star hunter was covered in blood, and he could no longer tell whether it was his own blood or someone else's. He was like a dying beast in despair struggling for the last time, roaring low and slamming into Durand with a crushing force!
Durand frowned slightly, looking at the bloodshot eyes of the barbarian.
He was familiar with the look in his eyes, which was only expressed by all the powerful men of the alien race who were about to become slaves when they rebelled against fate. Durand has seen it countless times, but he still never gets tired of watching it. He let out a satisfied admiration in his heart, and with some reluctance, he took one last look at the barbarian's eyes full of death, and then ...... Turn sideways and get out of the way.
The barbarian's tower-like body almost brushed Durand by in a hurry.
Durand still carries the giant musket on one shoulder, holding the red-painted handle in his right hand. The mouth and nose were filled with a strong smell of blood.
He didn't really look like he was doing anything, just sideways out of the way. However, in a blind spot out of everyone's sight, Durand raised his right elbow slightly and hit the barbarian's side.
Then he moved on as if nothing had happened. Completely ignore the barbarians who pass by.
The barbarian was so fast that he quickly rushed out more than twenty meters after passing Duland. But his degree became slower and slower, and soon he changed from running to trotting, and then from trotting to walking, and finally froze in place, and could not step out of his steps in any way. There was an extremely strange look on his face, and his already stiff neck moved slightly, as if he wanted to turn his head, but before he could finish it, a wisp of blood spilled from the corner of his lip.
He slowly softened, fell to his knees, and then fell to the ground with a thud.
At the same time, Durand whispered, almost habitually, a dogma from his training at the Battle Mage Academy: "As a battle mage, sophisticated and efficient physical skills are often more effective than spells." ”
This was taught to him by one of Duland's instructors back then.
Unlike mages, battle mages are natural fighters with powerful spells, subtle and powerful melee skills, and a variety of combat methods.
As long as it is a means that can cause damage in battle, it is the field of study of battle mages. For example, Durand, after coming to this world, developed a strong interest in the musket dwarves, and immediately began to study how the musket dwarves fight. Soon, the musket became another big killer weapon for Durand in addition to spells and physical skills. And in a special environment, his specially made large musket is even more practical than all kinds of spells and close body techniques.
Battlemages sound similar to mages, but they are actually two completely different classes. If you use Sendlow's class theory, then the mage is only "one of the many intermediate classes spread across all levels", and the battle mage is the pinnacle of the upper class!
Since the battle mage is in the name of "battle", its combat power is naturally extremely terrifying, and it can almost crush the vast majority of professionals of the same level. Because of this, Sendro, with the battle mage as the core, has become an extremely powerful one among the many main planes.
Duland's previous elbow shot seemed to be an understatement, but in fact it implied huge destructive power. The barbarian warrior was already seriously injured, coupled with the fragile weakness of the heavy elbow, even if he had a strength of up to level six, he couldn't withstand this blow, and fell seriously injured on the spot.
When the barbarian was tied up and dragged away, he was still laboriously rolling his eyes, looking for who was the one who had knocked him down. It's a pity that after Duran's blow worked, he quickly blended into the crowd, where can the barbarians find it?
At this moment, a bearded man in crossbody leather armor suddenly shouted, "What is going on in your hunters' hall?" This barbarian is my prey, and I almost escaped at your hands! Now he is seriously injured and knows whether he is alive or dead. This will not work! You've got to compensate me! 50,000 ...... No, 100,000 gold coins! ”
The bearded man's eyes rolled and turned, revealing a philistine who was different from his rugged appearance.
It can't be said that his demand for compensation is unreasonable, but the figure of "100,000 gold coins" is too outrageous.
The bearded man was the hunter who captured the powerful barbarian, a six-star hunter, and he was also a powerful hunter in the city of shepherds. However, as soon as he said this, Duland, who was still watching from the crowd, immediately laughed.
Dare to say such a thing in the city of shepherds, this bearded man seems to be impatient!
Most of the onlookers also showed a strange smile, but no one gave a word to remind them at such a time. Almost everyone was gloating about how the bearded man would end. Judging from the bearded man's words and deeds, he probably didn't come to the Shepherd's City for a long time, and he hadn't figured out the situation yet, and he was confident that he was very strong, so he wanted to take the opportunity to extort a sum of money.
It's a pity that the object of his extortion is the Hunters' Hall, the City of Shepherds, and the powerful force in the entire Big 6 that is second only to the Knights of Yonghui!
Several of the samurai in the Hunter's Hall did not react, but silently abducted the barbarians.
This indifferent attitude made the bearded man feel that his pride had been provoked by Yan Zòng, and he immediately narrowed his eyes dangerously, and a cold light flashed in the depths of his pupils.
Wisps of elemental fighting energy began to spread around the beard.
As an elemental warrior, the bearded Dou Qi should be dominated by the flame attribute, and at this time, he released a small part of the Dou Qi, and the temperature around him immediately rose sharply, and the air became a little distorted under the high temperature.
There are four most common types of human warriors in the Big 6: Elemental Samurai, Force Samurai, Archer, and Assassin. The advantage of the Elemental Samurai is that his fighting spirit is varied, and he has certain elemental damage. Although he was far inferior to the Warrior in terms of strength, inferior to the Archer in terms of medium and long-range attacks, and even less than an opponent of the Assassins in terms of stealth raids, the Elemental Warrior had no obvious weaknesses. With a vindictive spirit, they have no flaws in both offense and defense.
As a sixth-level elemental warrior, the bearded man's strength is quite good. This time the strength was displayed, and the meaning of the demonstration was self-evident.
You must know that the six-star hunter corresponds to a sixth-level professional. Although such a level has not yet entered the ranks of the strong, it can be regarded as standing on the threshold of the strong. If this bearded man can go one step further and become a seven-star hunter, he will have reached the pinnacle of hunters. A hunter of that level, even the City of Shepherds would not take it lightly.
According to the rules of the Hunter Hall, the highest level of a hunter is seven stars, and the upper eight levels of the profession do not have the title of hunter, nor are they allowed to enter the ranch, because this kind of strong person has already initially possessed the strength to destroy the large magic array that envelops the ranch. It is rumored that there is more than one rank 8 powerhouse in the Shepherd's City. There are many opinions, ranging from five to ten. These mysterious eighth-level powerhouses who serve the City of Shepherds are also known as "Che" (pronounced: ju; Chess piece names).
At this moment, a hunter hall warrior slowly walked up to the bearded man, smiled and said that the compensation should be paid, and the specific amount and method could be discussed, and then politely invited the bearded man back to the hunter hall! The attitude is too good to be true!
The bearded man didn't really want to get along with the Hunter Hall, but he thought he was powerful and wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail him. Seeing that the other party lowered his posture and expressed his willingness to compensate, he stopped talking nonsense and slowly restrained his vindictiveness.
So, the crowd of onlookers fell silent and watched the bearded man walk proudly into the main entrance of the hall.
When the bearded figure disappeared into the door of the hall, everyone let out a sigh of regret in unison. They all knew that the bearded man could not have come out alive, and it was a pity that they could not see the whole process with their own eyes.
And Durand had already left the scene, and he wasn't even interested in watching it.
Although his shot just now was very hidden and should not be noticed, it was not excluded that there were unknown masters present who could see the mystery. So Durand didn't stay any longer. He doesn't want others to know his true strength.
In the eyes of most people who know Duland, he is synonymous with mystery, and few people know how powerful he is. In fact, even Durand himself doesn't know what his strength is now. This plane has a strong oppression and restraint against the battle mage of his other plane, which makes it impossible for Durand to wield his full strength at all. Therefore, he suppressed his power every moment.
Durand can't remember the last time he unleashed all of his powers.
He only knew that in the case of being suppressed by the will of the plane, his strength corresponded to that of a seventh-level professional in this world. If you talk about real combat power, it should be the peak of the seventh level.
