Chapter 57: Temptation
"There's one more person worth noting, though. β
"Who?"
"Carl!"
......
Carl, speaking of Carl, he was staying outside the bedroom of the General's Mansion at the moment, and a hanging heart finally fell.
The medical officer said that although the knife wound was only on the surface, the evil qi attached to the murderer's knife was too strong, and because the evil qi attacked her body, Lin Fei'er's qi and blood disorder caused her, which made her unconscious. But fortunately, the wound is not deep, if the knife wound is half an inch deeper, I am afraid that the gods will be powerless. Everything is a blessing in misfortune.
Before leaving, the doctor told the patient to recuperate, so he left only two maids to serve in the room.
Karl was guarded by two guards, one on the left and one on the right.
"The general has ordered that you must not move around until she returns. β
Carl was stopped in the inner mansion, just to see if the general's mansion was safe, because he was worried that the bounty hunters would still not let Lin Fei'er go.
But since he was stopped, he had no choice but to give up, after all, a guy like him who refused to show his true face, the people in the General's Mansion must be vigilant, and it is already very face-saving not to teach himself to take off his mask.
In this way, the three of them remained in this small courtyard until the second half of the day, when the general returned from the palace.
After General Qiwu returned home, he immediately asked people to bring the man in black to Xiwutang.
When Carl saw General Qiwu, she had already taken off her armor, she was wearing a red military uniform, and her hands were wrapped around a pair of black wristbands, standing in the main hall, her posture was capable, and she was not majestic.
"What weapons do you make? She stretched out her hand and pointed to the weapon rack and said, "Take your pick." β
Karl replied, "I don't use weapons. β
"Then how did you save Lin Fei'er?" General Qiwu suddenly became suspicious, if this person couldn't tell the reason, his identity would be even more suspicious, I am afraid that it was not those thieves who deliberately took the opportunity to infiltrate the general's mansion to spy on intelligence.
"I'm a magician. β
"Hmph. General Qiwu chuckled lightly and took a short knife from himself, "The person who fought with you used this knife?"
"General Hui, there are two people who fought with me, and the knife used by the first person is about two feet long, and the whole body is silver-gray, although this knife looks ordinary, but it is extremely sharp. β
General Qiwu said in his heart: Yes, this first person is Gondor, and the sword he uses in his hand is called Annihilation, which was forged by a famous craftsman in Rock Iron City.
Karl continued: "The second man made two short daggers, less than a foot long, and the blades could have fish scale patterns, and there was no blood in the killing. β
The second person was none other than Slark the Nightcrawler, and General Seven Wu knew that what he said was true, "It seems that you did fight with them. But just based on this, there is still no certainty that the other party can save Lin Fei'er from these two people.
"My knife is not as good as the Knife of Desolation in Gondor's hand, but it is about the same length. β
Karl was shocked that she knew about Gondor, and that the name of the knife was Darkness. It seemed that she was not easy, but he did not show too much surprise, because the other party said Gondor's name only to test himself.
Seeing that Karl was silent, General Qiwu continued: "What means you use to deal with them, let me see them now." β
"Please make the first move, the general. β
"Okay, look at the move!"
Before she could finish speaking, she saw a crimson light shoot like lightning, and she took the short knife horizontally, and swept it straight at Karl's throat. Just like the move Gondor used to assassinate Lin Fei as a child, the difference is that Gondor is in the shadows and she is in the light.
But even so, she never thought that the man in black would be able to catch her knife. After all, she has been on the battlefield for so many years, and she has never met a few opponents who can fight her head-on. So she was ready to keep her hand, this person may still be useful, and she won't kill him for the time being, so she still has thirty percent of the strength in her hand, and only picks off the mask on his face.
"Rapid cooldown!"
I could only hear a spell in the mouth of the black-clothed mantra, and General Qiwu watched as a layer of ice crystals formed on the tip of her sword, and her knife was less than half an inch away from the other party, but it was difficult to advance a single inch. The bone-chilling chill poured down the blade of the knife like a body in an instant, and every pore couldn't help but tremble.
Her hands were actually shaking, she had never encountered such a situation before, it seemed that this man in black did have some means.
In this way, her fighting spirit has become stronger, and she has never surrendered in her life.
"Assault!"
A huge potential burst out from General Qiwu's body, a golden light flashed in his red eyes, and the ice crystals on his body were all shattered.
The dagger broke through the restraints and stabbed at Karl with even more domineering momentum.
The face under the hat was as calm as ever, he knew that the opponent's short knife was enough to pierce his neck, but at the same time, he also knew his own strength better!
Mirett's ObstacleβThe Ice Wall flashed.
How fast the knife is, no one knows, because there is no limit.
No one knows how fast the magic is, because there is no limit either!
So Karl didn't take half a step back, nor did he dodge half a step, General Qiwu's body was really embedded in the ice wall, although her knife was still less than half an inch away from Karl, but half an inch was still an insurmountable distance for her.
However, General Qiwu was not a mortal either, and the golden light in his body could dispel the negative effects of all magic skills.
So she broke free from the ice wall confinement again, and the stronger her opponent, the stronger her fighting spirit.
But at this time, Carl spoke: "It only took these two tricks to rescue Lin Fei'er, the general is heroic, and the tricks under him are just small skills for the general, and I hope the general's subordinates will show mercy." β
"Haha. General Qiwu put away his sword, "Yes, your two moves can indeed stop them for a while, it seems that what you said is true." β
"Thank you, General. Carl hugged his fists.
"With your skills, there will definitely be a place in the rivers and lakes, I don't know what name Your Excellency can leave in the rivers and lakes?"
"I'm ashamed. Karl said in a low voice: "I have no name and no surname, and I have been retired for many years. β
"Oh, then why did you come to rescue Lin Fei'er? β
"The Lin family is kind to me, and I am here to repay the kindness. β
"Hmm. General Qiwu nodded: "In this way, you are still a person of affection and righteousness. β
"I'm ashamed. β
"General Ben has never been difficult to force others, since you are not willing to show your true face, naturally you have your troubles. I see that you are quite skilled in magic, I wonder if you want to stay under me and get a job?"
"Thank you, General, I can't do anything else, I can only do one thing, protect Lin Fei'er from being harmed. β
"You're a weirdo. General Qiwu felt a pang in his heart: I'm afraid this guy doesn't have a soft spot for Lin Fei'er. In this case, with Lin Fei'er in his hands, it would be better to control him.
So he said: "Okay, then I will order you to be Lin Fei'er's guard and protect her safety at all times." β
Karl immediately said, "Thank you, General!"
