Chapter 379: Accident
The dark elves are troublesome, but what is more troublesome than the dark elves is the prejudice of the world.
In front of the caravan was a crowd that had already gathered, and I frowned when the sword-wielding Royal Knight of Bair asked me.
"Is it Victoria or Diana, didn't I say I told them not to go out for a while?"
When I heard the dark elves, I naturally thought of the two in the family, and to avoid trouble, I didn't let them leave the house.
But neither Victoria nor Diana are such obedient people, and the chengguan brigade also had collective violations before, and I was immediately a little annoyed when I thought that they had caused trouble again.
"What a nuisance, Dark Elves......"
People's prejudices and habits are very difficult to correct, especially in most parts of the world, information and transportation are extremely inconvenient, once concepts and common sense are formed, they cannot be changed at all, and in a remote area, there are still three or four hundred years ago The situation of the calendar has occurred from time to time.
And now, although Rose has fallen, it does not mean that the dark elf race has been completely whitewashed, and the attitude of most human kingdoms towards dark elves and devils is still no different - it is generally not wrong to burn them to death and then collect evidence of crimes.
And if it were any other region, whether it was Orland or the Northlands, it would at least give me a face, but here......
"What's going on."
Let the knight clear the way, push away the congested crowd, and sure enough, he saw the black skin.
Diane ...... Hey? Who are you? β
Well, it looks like I'm biased once too, and I'm being surrounded by a bunch of people. But it's a strange male dark elf. The gray-black skin was covered with minor burns. Apparently no moonlight ceremony was performed.
He fell to the ground, seemingly unable to move.
ββ¦β¦ I...... I just wanted to live in seclusion in the city, I didn't do anything! β
But evidently his pleas for mercy were taken as quibbles, while the townspeople with their forks looked at him with fear and disgust, and in the distance there were bear children throwing stones at him, and others were shaking and trying to throw torches at him.
He didn't have the insignia of Rose on him, but he didn't have the insignia of a good god. If he hadn't hidden his faith, he would have been a rare unbeliever elf.
"I saw him refining poison in a small wooden house, and he dared to sell it everywhere. If he forgets to bring his evil magic mask, we will be fooled by him! β
A freckled young man with brown hair pointed at him and roared.
ββ¦β¦ It's just a medicine for wounds, haven't you used it? You used to boast that the potion was very effective. β
It seems that this dark elf has really succeeded in taking root in this city, but I don't know if it has leaked out.
"Yes, but you didn't say those vicious potions, although I healed my wounds, I was weakened for three days. You are an evil elixir that overdraws your life. Bah! I used to think you were a good person, but I'm really blind! β
The strong man looked back.
"I've been living in the city for ten years and I've done nothing! If I do something......"
As soon as he said this, it was terrible, someone had nothing to do with himself before, but now he heard that the dark elves had actually lived here for ten years, and the scene immediately boiled when he thought that the evil dark elves had been by his side for so long.
ββ¦β¦ No wonder there are so many cases of disappearances in this neighborhood. I guess this black skin is used as a test piece. β
"I mean, with so many recent thefts, he's the one who didn't get the burglary."
ββ¦β¦ Could it be that I have never been able to have children, and this evil elf's vicious sorcery is also a matter of witchcraft. β
It may seem absurd, but in a sense, this is the reality of this era, and even in that world where technological civilization was exceptionally advanced, in the Middle Ages, it was actually about the same.
A certain child is said to have been cursed, and in the end he blames him for the deformity of the domestic pig at the head of the village, which is the result of a combination of prejudice and ignorance.
ββ¦β¦ If that child is a sad wind, it really isn't a black one. β
ββ¦β¦ Don't say it, I also think of this possibility, forget it, don't hack him, blame the pitiful. I asked him and he said he wasn't interested in pigs. β
"You actually asked him, but do you believe what he said, and he also said that he is a normal person...... Anyway, if we continue to watch the show and chat like this, this guy seems to be killed. β
At this time, I don't know who struck first, and the result was a rain of iron forks and stones, if it weren't for the two brushes of this dark elf, it would have hung up.
"No, this guy doesn't fight back, does he want to die like this."
The will of the strong flows in the blood, just anger can make ordinary people feel fear, this is the common feature of gold-level martial arts, this dark elf is a gold-level combat position is not surprising, since he came here ten years ago, then being able to live on the ground for ten years is obviously not a rookie.
But what makes people a little strange is that this guy didn't fight back just after being beaten, and he didn't run away, which makes people wonder how he could survive in the surface world.
After a little look, I decided to intervene and make sure it wasn't someone who set me up, but ......
"Please give way, please give way."
Pushing through the crowd was a rather handsome young man in Chinese costumes, with his red hair neatly combed, and the knife wounds on his face not only did not disfigure, but made him more heroic.
Judging from the momentum, his personal strength is probably between the peak of silver and quasi-gold, and considering his age of thirty-five years old, he can already be regarded as a genius among human beings.
He was wearing gorgeous gold armor that had a greater decorative effect than actual combat, but on his waist was an epic-level divine weapon, and there were two followers who were at least silver rank behind him.
"Twenty-seven princes!"
"It's His Highness Mills!"
And judging from the reactions of the surroundings, this person who took the initiative to participate in the cooperation is actually still a prince.
Judging from the reactions around him, his reputation is still very high, at least the citizens of this business district give him face.
Of course, since I was acting as a diplomat, I had done my homework beforehand. This Mills is very low among the brothers. Quite low-key among the princes. But in fact, it is the heir to the top five.
In the current prince's infighting, some people have extended their hands to the army controlled by the royal family, and some people's policies are inclined to big businessmen, but the collusion with the external nobles is naturally the majority, Mills is a good piece of material, in the early years of the battlefield meritorious service, was personally awarded by Oros and accepted as a son.
And unlike the other brothers who desperately went to the upper echelons to converge their forces, he was born in the military with the natural advantage. However, he took the "people-friendly route", often appearing in the downtown area, or judging villains like paladins (rangers), or heroes like princes in legendary tales to save beauty and fight against unscrupulous merchants, and many of his personal legendary deeds are often included in the common repertoire of bards on the street.
Yes, legendary deeds, this is not an underground world full of legends, a golden master who is less than forty years old is enough to make heroic deeds that the world praises, and there are even citizens who organize a parade and petition for it. Ask Oros to make him crown prince.
But in my opinion, no. In the eyes of many powerful people, Mills was not as pure as he appeared, and the bards who were responsible for touting were more or less sponsored, and the relatives of the petitioners worked under Mills.
The most important thing is how good luck it takes to be able to save the beauty every time you are a hero, and every time you suddenly see through it when the conspiracy is about to be achieved, and distort the situation of the battle.
"If he didn't arrange it himself, he has a lot of spies, and he has already spread all over the city, waiting for the incident to happen all the time, ready to brush up his reputation."
Considering that other princes will not watch him set up fake games to brush up on popularity, I still prefer this option that there are a lot of spies under him, and looking at the situation, it seems that this time it seems that he is here to brush up his reputation again.
ββ¦β¦ What do you think he will do? β
"Judging from his information, I think of a pure politician, and a pure politician is never what he wants to do, but what the people expect, he will say, so that he can gain support and get into power."
"Well, he'll ......"
"Well, now that the people are going to execute this dark elf, how could he not do such a simple thing to gain prestige. Maybe tomorrow you can hear the bard singing 'The prince slashes the dark elves'. β
"It's really excessive, shouldn't the normal situation be a trial according to the procedure?"
"Hehe, do you think politicians are normal people?"
At this time, the knights of Bayer, who were guarding us, were just watching from the sidelines, and they who only belonged to the royal family looked at the scene in front of them with an indifferent expression, as if they had nothing to do with themselves, and I seemed to be able to see Oros's attitude towards the princes.
Sure enough, it was the prince Mills who shouted with his sword.
"Stand back, everybody, beware of the dark elves' evil spells!"
Then the enchanted light shone on the sword, and it seemed that Mills was really going to slash the dark elf, but strangely, until this time, the dark elf gritted his teeth and threw himself on the ground, still not trying to escape.
At this point, the farce also feels very boring, and I seem to prefer the version of "the prince accidentally hits the iron plate and is beaten up" to the script of "the prince angrily slashes the dark elves".
And just as I was about to act, I was interrupted by a roar...... Why do I say again?
"Spells; Convict! Crime-Busting! β
Three cloaked men jumped in front of Mills from the rooftop on that side, one roared angrily and met Mills with a thick-backed knife, and the other ran to perform magic spells, as if intending to heal the injured dark elf, while the last cloaked man just glared at the surrounding audience with his eyes, and just used his might to make the prince's followers unable to move, and made the crowd around them instinctively retreat and make way out.
"Pressing the silver level and can't move? At least two orders higher than the Silver Rank, an unknown Saint Rank powerhouse? β
At this time, even the royal knights of Bayer, who were watching from the sidelines, were moved.
And for me, what a familiar judgment knight combo in front of me, what a familiar cooperation, and the power of a strong man above the holy rank...... Yawen, Diana, Victoria, you really sneaked out!
But at this time, it is not the time to trouble them, in a sense, it is more convenient for them to do this job than me when they hide their identities, and they also know the severity and know how to deal with it.
At least. At this moment. I think so. also quietly took a step back, with Diana, a newly advanced saint-level anti-paladin, no one could keep them, and I was more at ease with Diana's work.
However, sometimes, people are not as good as heaven, and accidents always come suddenly in places that no one expected......
γDivine Soldier: Dragon Slayerγ
[Attack: 0-35.] Quality: Epicγ
[The special effect is indestructible: 100% directly cut weapons below the elite level, and 50% chance to cut the elite level weapons.] 30% chance to directly slash epic weapons. 1% Slash Weapons Below Artifact]
[Special effects glorious death: Yes, it is glorious and not dazzling, with this knife, you will become the protagonist in the eyes of the world, well, the tragic protagonist. The holder's luck value is reduced by 10, the charm value is increased by 10, and if he is a blonde male, an additional 10 is reduced.]
[Special effect madness: 1% chance to fall into a state of rage where the six relatives do not recognize each other, at this time, the priority will be given to chasing and killing their relatives.] γ
[There is a string of yellow letters on the hilt: in ancient legends.] This used to be a divine weapon that symbolized status, 'Martial Arts Supreme.' But now, there is a new interpretation... Treasure knife to slay the dragon, click to send. γ
Undoubtedly, this is a good knife, but due to the disgusting negative effects that can turn the wielder into a madman, only Yawen, who is naturally resistant to madness, can use it, and she has always regarded it as her own treasure.
Whoever encounters this knife for the first time and doesn't know the special effects will suffer, and the current captain of the Chengguan Brigade with this knife is enough to skip the challenge.
Maybe it's because I've done too much, Mills's luck is really bad, the long sword in his hand "An Xiu's Gift" has broken through the limit of the epic, which means that the chance of Yawen cutting it off is only about 1% to 3%, but it was triggered at this moment!
"Bell!"
The sword duel, and the first sword triggered the slashing effect, so the epic weapon in his hand was simply broken, and the thick blade slashed towards his face.
And finding this situation, Yawen also hurriedly stopped, after all, she was just saving people, and she didn't want to kill the prince, but before she made a move, as an excellent trial knight, she used the golden combination of "Spell: Judgment" and "Slashing Attack".
The former will judge the recipient's actions for a countdown of two hours, and if he commits a crime, he will have a red light representing sin, and the greater the crime, the redder the color, while the latter will attach the power of the law to the sword and attack the sinner, the deeper the crime, the higher the damage.
I don't know what Mills had done in the previous two hours, but the purple blood red proved that he had definitely just committed a heinous crime, and at this time, he was beheaded by the Knight of Judgment.
The slash on the innocent object is only a slight thrust, and the blade will even actively dull, and if it is a murderous villain, it is an invincible killing move.
At this time, Yawen couldn't stop even if she wanted to, the law was unforgiving, since the judge knight who used the slash was the judge representing the law, and since the "spell: judgment" had marked the heinous sinners, how could the slashed smash be stopped by the personal will of the law enforcer.
As a result, the silver sword light turned into a moon arc and fell towards Mills's face, and if it was chopped down, it would definitely be the result of two cuts.
And Mills's real guards have already acted, and the royal knights will not watch the prince being killed in front of him, and Mills has also activated his own life-saving magic props, as long as he blocks this blow, or the helper catches up, he still has a way to live.
But before, in order to make the prince's attendants stop, Diana used her newly acquired ability.
[Aura Ability: Anti-Holy Enchantment, summon an enchantment composed of will, expel the magic and divine power effects in it, the effect of the enchantment will be determined by the difference in strength between the user and the target, and the duration is medium.] γ
And this enchantment is between the helper and Mills.
At this moment, the helpers turned into mortals one step slower, Mills's talisman item lit up and went out, and the silver power of the law on the dragon slayer knife that was already extending beyond the barrier dimmed a little, but it still slashed down.
"Click."
The blade fell to the ground, one cut in two, the blood surged, the earth was dyed red, and death was blind.
Well, having said all this, in fact, in the eyes of the common people, only one thing happened - the cloak man who suddenly jumped out was slashed, and the respected prince Mills turned into two slices of meat!
"Assassin!"
"Assassin! Someone killed His Highness Mills! β
And in the panic, the wind swept up the edge of the cloak, revealing the black skin beneath the shocked Yawen's cloak.
"Help! The Dark Elves killed His Highness. β
"The dark elves I recognize! That knife! It's the ambassador of the Mage Nation's guard! It was the people of the Mage Country who killed His Royal Highness. β
At this moment, Yawen was dumbfounded, Diana was dumbfounded, Victoria was dumbfounded, the royal knights were dumbfounded, and even I myself was blindfolded all at once.
I heard a sentence before, but it echoed repeatedly in my mind inexplicably.
"When the Archduke Ferdinand and his wife were assassinated by the Crown Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, no one expected that this pure sudden event, the assassination of the unloved prince of this small country, would actually become the fuse of the world war that swept the whole of Europe!"
"Damn! Yawen, you lucky-E's second silly girl! It's a lot of fun this time! (To be continued......)
