Chapter 30: The Family of Tomb Keepers
The Nelson family is a family of grave keepers.
Although they are not nobles, they have their own surname, 'Nelson'.
The Nelson family has been in Kareni City for more than 600 years, and they guard the western suburbs of the aristocratic cemetery for all the nobles of Kareni.
Circumstances change with the passage of time.
When the power of the aristocracy gradually withdrew from the stage of history, the status of the Nelson family was as yellow as yesterday, and today there are less than twenty grave keepers in the entire family, and the only professional is Oak Nelson as the head of the family.
Oak Nelson is over half a hundred years old.
This tomb guard family is about to break off the inheritance, and once the high-level of the army takes a fancy to this, they are powerless to stop it, and then he, a tomb guard family, will lose its original meaning.
When a monk strikes the clock for a day.
If it was just a lieutenant in Vega who wanted to enter here, then he was not old enough to lift a knife.
For fear of reprisals from the army, he really didn't dare to kill Vega, or even a single soldier, but it was easy for him to just expel a level 3 apprentice and a group of ordinary soldiers.
Level 5 apprenticeship.
This is the true strength of Oak Nelson, who has one foot in the realm of the lower professions, and is one of the most central figures even in the regimental army.
With such strength, it is naturally not difficult to keep everyone out without harming Vega and the rest of the soldiers, and the gap in rank is not so easy to bridge.
"Everyone lay down their weapons and stand back. ”
To be on the safe side, Oak Nelson instructed his people to give up resistance, and even if the army really wanted to pursue it, then everything would be his personal responsibility, and it had nothing to do with his people.
The sword is pointed at Vega.
Oak Nelson said angrily: "There is no excuse for the crime you want to add, my tomb keeper family has been loyal to the empire and the nobility for generations, how can you be convicted by a warrant officer in vain." I admit that I dare not kill you, but as long as I have a breath, you will not want to step into the cemetery in the western suburbs. ”
"It's not me who condemns you, it's the laws of the Empire. Vega's words were watertight.
With a wave of his hand, ten guards charged.
Rumble.
A powerful burst of magic erupted.
Oak Nelson stood still and let the soldier's spear stab at him, one in one hand, knocking all the Vega guards to the side in less than five minutes, with a clean, almost perfectly sized approach.
Oak Nelson didn't do any actual damage to any of the soldiers, he just left them unconscious, and if Vega wanted to break through from here, he would have to be the same as his men.
"Level 5 apprentice?"
Let the guards test it first, Vega can probably feel from the old man's body that the other party's magic power is at least 3 times higher than his own, and with his strength, even if the other party does not fight back, he can only cause minor injuries to the old man.
Things are getting a little troublesome.
If anyone stops Vega from doing so, he doesn't mind killing chickens and monkeys, let the nobles behind this tomb guard family know that his relatives have been buried here, and anyone who dares to disturb Leah's tranquility will suffer his crazy revenge, and the only miscalculation is that a tomb guard family actually has a fifth-level apprentice professional.
It's still not enough.
At this moment, Vega desperately wanted to improve his status and strength, if he was wearing the Imperial Wings Medal or promoted to the strength of a lower professional at this time, then how could this tomb guard family dare to stop him, and what could he do to stop him.
But I am really unwilling to retreat like this.
From the performance of the other party, it can be seen that this old man seems to have no intention of becoming an enemy of the military, and he only takes the method of stunning his subordinates.
This means that even if he takes action himself, his life will not be in danger.
Thinking of this, Vega still decided to attack the old man, even if he couldn't defeat him in the end, then at least he could understand the strength of the fifth-level apprentice professional, this opportunity to increase combat experience was not available every day.
Draw the short knife.
Vega's newly captured dagger is a high-grade magic weapon, not only is it extremely magical, but it also has a poisoning effect once it hits an enemy. The poison of the short knife is very strong, if the opponent is an ordinary person, then it can almost achieve the effect of seeing blood and sealing the throat, and changing to a professional can also greatly let the opponent divide the magic power to fight the toxicity, so as to weaken the opponent's magic power reserves.
Vega strikes first.
In the face of an opponent who is stronger than yourself, it is the most wrong choice to take defensive measures, because you are likely to be killed directly if you can't withstand the opponent's attack, so only by seizing the opportunity to make the opponent unable to make a move can you have a glimmer of hope of winning.
Bang.
Meet at close quarters.
The short sword is more flexible, and the long sword is better than the strength.
Vega used his light body and nimble short knives, and at the same time used the killing skills taught by the army, each knife attacked the old man's vital point, and the old man had no choice but to defend temporarily, after all, Vega's attack power was enough to break through his defenses and cause him minor injuries.
Arguably.
If it's a fight for your life, then Vega can't hold up a move.
It's a pity that Oak Nelson can only subdue Vega, and does not dare to hurt Vega, which also raises the difficulty factor of the whole battle by more than a notch.
This is probably the most humiliating fight Oak has fought for most of his life.
Because of this situation, it directly led to Oak Nelson's many family heirloom combat skills being unable to use, and he was afraid that he would die on the spot because he couldn't control his strength. Therefore, now he can only be beaten passively, and at the same time symbolically resist one or two, and finally wait for Vega's magic power to dry up and knock him out.
Vega, of course, found out about this.
After fighting, he knew that there was indeed a world of difference between the strength of the third-level trainee professional and the strength of the fifth-level trainee professional, although he could break the defense to a certain extent, but the opponent's combat consciousness and strong magic power made you powerful and nowhere to go, and not only did not even touch the corners of the clothes after fighting for most of the day, but also consumed seventy-seven eighty-eight of his own magic power.
Vega already understood.
It is completely impossible for him to enter the Western Suburbs Cemetery today, and now it seems that the only way is to wait for the award to end, and with the Order of the Imperial Wings, let the nobles behind the tomb guard family obediently give up a cemetery.
To put it bluntly, the nobles are a group of guys who bully the weak and are afraid of the hard, and if they give up a cemetery, they can befriend Vega, the rising star, so even a fool knows how to choose.
Vega had no intention of ending the fight, though.
With each additional minute of fighting, he felt that the magic in his body became more and more skillful.
After confirming that he could not enter the Western Suburbs Cemetery, Vega began to master the magic of the third-level apprentice profession wholeheartedly, and completely regarded Oak Nelson as a training opponent for feeding the recruits.
