138 Temptation
The squad's predicament stems from a lack of members and David's passivity.
And the crux of David's psychology is that his brother died unexplained, and he couldn't get comfort from both the family and the academy, and at this time, as the spiritual pillar of the team, Charlie suddenly chose to leave the team, making him feel lost and abandoned by the whole world, coupled with the psychological shadow caused by Brazz to him, and the heavy pressure given by Twilight Town, under multiple effects, his mentality collapsed.
Charlie made them understand that his departure was not abandonment, not fear, nor escape, but a tactical retreat, to avoid risks for them.
Men are sometimes more fragile than women, but as soon as they come out of the gloom, they will burst out with amazing action.
The squad will immediately begin to expand, gradually erasing the traces of Charlie, and will be reduced to an ordinary squad, Charlie will silently support them behind the scenes, providing them with equipment, scrolls, and enchantments, and working together to deal with the threat of Brazz.
After returning to the residence, Charlie made several small warning devices, and since learning the magic pattern, Charlie's hands-on ability has become stronger and stronger, and with the help of chips, he has invented a lot of interesting gadgets.
Like this "Touch Sound and Light Trap" magic pattern, it is one of them, its inspiration is similar to the "Holy Flame" enchantment, but the trigger is different, when it is stressed, it will instantly release a strong light, accompanied by a popping sound, frightening the opponent at the same time, it serves as a warning, this kind of trap is especially effective against dark creatures, and the instant burst of light may even burn their visual system.
After Charlie made some arrangements, Anthony, the archmage of the undead, sent someone to bring the experimental materials.
The ink is "Void Spirit Ink", mixed with the essence of the Void Beast, the energy is denser, the magic guiding performance is more superior, it is a grade higher than the Starlight Ink, and the price is ten times more expensive, this time he only sent a small bottle the size of a thumb.
The carrier is "large hazelwood", a kind of high-grade staff production material, it is generally grown in areas rich in magic elements, itself contains natural magic energy, magic guide is better than 90% of the wood on the market, magic carrying capacity is even more amazing, is the best magic guide production material.
This batch contains 11 large hazelwood scepters, on which Charlie can complete the "elemental shine" and complete the first stage of processing, and then the master will complete the overall enchantment and assemble the staff.
Charlie was very enthusiastic about the job, as Master Anthony's request was to hand over 10 large hazelwood scepters with the Elemental Shine enchantment, which meant that Charlie only had one chance to make a mistake, and if his mistake exceeded the standard, it would be deducted by the task reward, in fact, the reward was not enough at all.
For this reason, Master Anthony took a lot of risks, after all, he asked an apprentice to do this, in case Charlie messed up, the loss of materials alone would be enough for him, Charlie's task reward was not enough to deduct at all, and Charlie was not able to compensate for these high-level materials, and in the end Anthony could only swallow the bitter fruit, and Charlie might pay some heavy price for it.
On the other hand, high risk means high reward, and if Charlie can take advantage of the opportunity and succeed in all of them, then the Void Ink and the Great Hazel Staff saved are extra trophies, even if it is only a half-arm-length scepter, which is much better than Charlie's Deadwood Staff.
So there's never been a time when Charlie is more focused than he is now.
Dip the magic pen stained with void ink, the tip of the pen seems to have a trace of ethereal taste, Charlie adjusted his mentality, feeling that he was ready for everything, the moment he put down the pen, and secretly regretted it, the psychology of fear comes from the cherishing mentality of the golden material, fortunately, the chip helped stabilize his mind, and the smoothness brought by the void ink instantly allowed him to regain the state of mastering everything.
It is worthy of high-grade ink, but it does not have the unpredictable "slippery inertia" of starlight ink, which is difficult to control, and it gives people the same feeling as ordinary ink, Charlie is like holding an ordinary quill pen to paint, flexible and free.
Draw all the way, trembling, there is no danger......
A layer of fine sweat secreted from the tip of Charlie's nose, and the moment he put away his pen, he felt that his arm was very sore, and his whole body collapsed, he breathed a long sigh of relief and sat down in his chair.
In the blink of an instant, a dazzling glow erupted in the room, driving the darkness to the most secrecy corners, and a sharp pop stung Charlie's eardrums.
Enemy attack!
Charlie's coccyx was numb, and the whole person trembled, bounced up from the chair, and before the chip could make a judgment, he had already realized who was coming.
Shadow Thorn, Blaze.
The sound and light trap had an unexpected effect, and after Braz touched the mechanism, he was slightly stunned, just like that, giving Charlie enough time to react, maybe at that moment, even Braz himself was not ready to attack.
After triggering the trap, the blinding light was like the midday sun, scorching and blazing, and his eyes tingled so that he could not see anything, and the light sparked the painful memories that Braz had just recovered, and the anger filled his brain when he recalled the loss of that arrow and the pain he had endured in the last few days.
Now that you've been discovered, let's take action!
After a very short period of thought, Braz relied on his memory, made a wrong step, and the whole person was like a black shadow, killing the past, and the dagger went straight to Charlie's heart.
If it weren't for the sight of his eyes closed and tears spilling out of the corners of his eyes, Charlie would have wondered if the flash had really ruined his vision.
It's going to be a head-to-head clash with Shadow Thorn Brazz!
Damn it! He's coming so fast!
According to Charlie's prediction, Braz's temptation should be at least a week later, and Charlie had just finished admonishing David, but he didn't expect to encounter this situation.
Does he already know who he is? Or is it just a temptation?
Judging from the current difference in strength between the two, Charlie only has a 30% win rate, but no matter what the winning rate is, he must fight until the last minute.
Charlie's fingertips flashed with magical light, a knight's sword appeared in his hand, and he slashed it with his backhand, the knight's sword was longer than a dagger, and the two split against each other, Charlie had no psychological pressure.
In an instant, Bratz's ears moved, and the dagger's stab turned into a false slash, and he took a step to the left, dodging the slash, and slashed from the side.
This guy even has an excellent sense of hearing?! He also has a lot of combat experience, and he can change his moves very quickly.
Suddenly, several thick vines stretched out from under the planks and rolled straight towards Bratz.
Two instantaneous "wild vines" are Charlie's usual moves, in the state of high-speed duels, people's first reaction is their most skilled routine, the vines have made many meritorious contributions, Charlie used it to block Bratz, that is, a knee-jerk reaction.
The vines grew savagely in an instant, but they pounced on the air.
In the faint light, Charlie only felt a flower in front of him, and Braz's shadow suddenly accelerated, and the extreme speed couldn't even keep up with his eyes, as if he was teleporting, quickly crossed the barrier of the vines, and came to the opposite side of Charlie.
"'Shadow Strike'!" Braz spat out a few words as he moved at great speed.
The strange dagger is close at hand, straight to the heart! so suddenly! so fast!!
Charlie's whole body suddenly seemed to be drenched in a bucket of ice water, almost frozen, and at that moment, the brain seemed to be beyond the constraints of the normal mode, and the speed reached a new height.
Colin's death, the strange blood-sucking fangs, countless images flashed in his mind.
If your heart is hit hard by this, does it mean that you will enter a state of no ability to fight back, and you will be killed by your opponent?!
Draw the knife, explode, slash with a knife.
In a very short time and in a very small space, the blade went from static to moving, and rolled straight towards the opponent's arms.
Simple, fast, and without delay, this knife drawing technique originated from Beichen's knife flow, Charlie only watched it a few times, and he hadn't started to learn yet, but at the moment of life crisis, it played a little role.
The moment the knight's sword swept forward, Charlie's feet kicked the ground suddenly, and his whole body flew backwards like a disarmed cannonball.
Blaze was a little stunned at this blow, he didn't expect his opponent to fight back?!
In the flash of the sword light, the knight's sword slashed at the dagger, directly sweeping Braz back with a blow, causing him to tear his tiger mouth apart and suffer a little injury!
Bratz's strength is really a joke, and Charlie's hasty knife can crush his opponent.
Charlie slammed open the wooden window and fell into the hallway of the bar, and the chaos immediately caused a commotion.
Only then did the guards outside the door realize the problem, and with weapons in hand, they rushed into Charlie's room and shouted loudly.
Immediately afterward, Hank hurried over, brought a small team of guards, and after seeing the situation, protected Charlie's regiment in the middle.
Charlie lay on his side on the ground, staring at Braz motionlessly, in a constant state of alertness.
I don't know, but this is the first miss of the Shadow Assassin Blaze's assassination.
"What do you mean by this, have you forgotten the rules your teacher laid down in Twilight? No one is allowed to go to war in Twilight for any reason, except for a glorious duel. Hank squinted at Shadowthorn, who was dressed in a gray robe.
A dry voice came from under the cloak, "I don't say any rules. ”
Charlie deliberately asked, "We don't know each other in our lives, why did you kill me?"
"I kill people and never need a reason!"
"Oh, yes?!Is that really what Silva taught you?!" a melodious female voice broke through the dull battlefield.
Hearing this, Braz got up and saluted a woman in a purple robe.
"The teacher didn't teach me that, it's just my personal experience!" Bratz replied abruptly, facing Eliza, the owner of the Blood Raven Bar, he didn't dare to slack off, "Actually, I just admired the demeanor of the new Demon Seal Carver of the Blood Raven Bar, but I didn't expect to trigger the trap, and the result was out of control, and I fought directly, I also feel inexplicable!"
