Chapter 51: Unexpected Attack

…… Which idiot the hell is out there?

The expression under Richard's mask was a little strange.

Doesn't that guy know that there's a fireside meeting going on here, and it's a five-person ...... Uh, aside from his parallel imports, is there a total of four legendary wizards in the city?

Unless there is a certain country or church that intends to start a major war against the magic tower, in this day and age, with the defense line of four legendary ranks combined, it is impossible for anyone to break through. In fact, the opponent's spell attack failed to break through even the outermost layer of defense, which was equivalent to just setting off a firework for them.

However, although he felt from the bottom of his heart that the attackers were brave and unscrupulous, Richard was personally grateful to the guy who caused the commotion.

It is precisely because of his or her actions that the attention of everyone here is temporarily diverted. The heavy sense of oppression released by the two sides that originally produced fierce contradictions caused someone present to be almost out of breath; And the sudden appearance of such a scene just relieved the oppressive atmosphere in the room like a rainstorm was coming, which gave him a chance to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Who the hell is it? What a clever fellow, the timing is just right, I want to praise him. ”

Richard thought to himself.

Sykodi just wanted to tear the attacker with her own hands.

When a guest in the crowd suddenly ripped off his disguise and released a spell towards the tall building where several adults were, she was completely stunned standing on the high platform.

Shi Kodi was the host of this banquet, and if there was any unexpected chaos and destruction, she would not be able to escape responsibility. So after a brief moment of surprise, anger ensued.

“……!”

This is the second time she has experienced today that she has exceeded her expectations.

But Silky's reaction was still fast, and in the blink of an eye, she had opened her palms towards the figure, her lips slightly pursed, and Silk, who was proficient in the two spellcasting techniques of "instant casting" and "high-speed chanting", was able to use certain spells in a very short period of time. This is an extremely rare ability in the higher ranks.

Her knowledge of the natural realm has given her the ability to manipulate energy and the elements, and each sorcerer of nature is like a mobile turret, ready to erupt with devastating power. The prototype was built, and the magic essence poured in, and a shining thunderbolt spread from the girl's fingertips, shooting out like an arrow.

Electricity spells are the most suitable choice right now, as they tend to have a speed that humans can't react to, they are the fastest elemental spells, and the paralyzing effect they carry is also great for grappling enemies.

The girl calmly makes a judgment about the situation, chooses the most appropriate spell, aims at the enemy, mobilizes the magic power, casts spells at high speed - all in less than a second.

She has the confidence to block the other person's pace. If that guy can't react and is hit by the "electric light arrow", even if he has set up a "talisman spell" or the help of defending against alchemy props in advance, he will have to stop. And surrounded by a group of wizards, this hesitation, no matter how brief it is, is no different from throwing yourself into a trap.

However, what happened after that was once again beyond her expectations-

I saw that the attacker's body was like a spring stretched to the limit, curled up at an incredible speed, and the lightning flashed away, passing through the space left behind, and hitting the ground after falling into the air.

To be able to perform such a difficult action in such a short period of time, the physical ability and reaction speed are not something that ordinary wizards can do...... Shikoudi's eyes widened, the other party is a "knight"!

The spell that was released to the fireside meeting just now was probably the effect of some kind of "alchemy prop" he was carrying. This explains why the other party can blend in with the guests. If it is a wizard, it will not be able to escape the detection of the prophecy realm perception circle set up at the door, but alchemy items are different, once the product of alchemy is formed independently, it will be separated from the magic net - this is the most basic common sense.

You can't be a wizard but you can come here, this guy is mixed up as an ordinary person or a bodyguard!

Poetry's brain was racing as she saw that the assailant had vanished into the crowd, nimble as a fish leaping into the water. This is obviously the same effect of alchemy props.

Poeti realizes that she can't lock the other person for the time being without using some "special" methods. But without her teacher's permission, she couldn't reveal her true abilities in public...... So she simply changed her way of thinking, and after coming to a conclusion, cast a suspicious gaze on the group of visitors from the ground.

And it was only at this time that the guests next to them became noisy and boiling.

"It's the attacker!"

"Who is it that is so daring?"

"Did you just see that? That guy actually made a move on the tower! ”

……

Soon after, Sykodi noticed that a group of people who were out of step with the sorcerers on the tower were standing in the doorway, and the fat nobleman led by him had a familiar look, his face was pale and sweating profusely, and he had an expression that he was about to faint. It was only after being alerted by others that he realized that the daring attacker had come from his ranks.

Didn't this group of guys just leave, though? I should have made peace with the big army...... How did it come back here? She frowned, always feeling that something was wrong.

Poeti had just received a notice from her teacher, Longman Hall, that the noble delegation from the southern part of the Rhine Kingdom turned out to be more than this group, but they had encountered an "accident" before entering the wilderness and scattered into two groups. One of them was spotted by Mr. Hall and brought up, while the remaining one was brought to the tower by another wizarding leader, Marion Green, who had set foot this afternoon.

The conflict between her teacher and Mr. Green is no longer a secret in the tower. One is a radical and the other is a conservative, but both are authorities in the natural sphere, and there will inevitably be conflicts over matters such as mobilizing resources and recruiting students. As the chief student, Shi Kodi knew that this delicate hostile relationship had actually lasted for a long time, but it had only recently erupted.

It's no wonder that at this time, Shi Kodi had a lot of thoughts: could it be that the attacker was actually in another team, and after receiving someone's instructions, he took advantage of the opportunity of the two teams to reconcile, mixed into the team headed by the fat noble, and then took advantage of the opportunity of the banquet to attack......

If so, Sykodi thought to herself, what was his real goal?

She suddenly realized something, and a chill rose up her spine - at the same time, the girl's pupils reflected a figure that swooped out of the crowd, and the other party's target was herself!
