Chapter Ninety-Seven: An Omen of Change
Rhodes was eating in the cafeteria, and it was Thorin and Hill sitting across from him. The three of them were eating salt-baked potatoes and smoked meat in a dull manner, all looking preoccupied.
Thorin looked around cautiously and said to Rhodes, "Rhodes, did you think Lorenzo's wish could really come true?"
Rod sneered, "What, you're scared?"
"I complained to the people in the dormitory yesterday, but very few people echoed me. A lot of people laughed at me for not being content. I'm afraid that when there is a fight, no one will follow us......"
"I don't care, it's trouble everywhere, I just want to get my own woman back. Rod put the last potato in his mouth.
Thorin and Ciel looked at each other and sighed.
Rod put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth and prepared to leave. Hill laughed at himself, "This guy at least knows what he wants, but what about us? Are you protesting that the cafeteria forces us to use chopsticks to pick potatoes?"
As soon as Rod stood up, he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his hand. Lorenzo left him a triangular dark mark, glowing slightly. A voice suddenly sounded in Rod's ears: "The time has come...... Now, let go of your body and mind, listen to me, listen to me. I'll tell you what to do......"
The voice was indistinguishable from men and women, but it had a strange charm. In an instant, Rhodes almost let go of his mind and lost his mind. He didn't dare to be careless, so he hurriedly transported his fighting qi and let the power of his fighting qi wash his entire body. The voice grew softer and softer, and finally disappeared without a sound. Rod looked at the back of his hand again, and the triangular secret mark on it shattered into small dots, and finally the ice disintegrated.
"What kind of power is this?" Rod wondered. He looked at Thorin and Ciel, and their expressions were completely different from those just now. There is no longer any hesitation or gain or loss on their faces. The two looked at each other and smiled, and jumped out separately. As he ran, he shouted, "Bandits, bandits are attacking again, they have broken through the wall and have set fire to the camp." ”
As if to cater to them, explosions occurred in several places in the camp at the same time, and the flames that rose into the sky illuminated the windows red.
"Run, everyone, go to the storehouse and grab the food and leave, do you want to wait here to be killed? Run, run, flee south!" shouted Thorin and Ciel, and rushed out of the cafeteria.
A few people shouted in the cafeteria, coupled with the fire outside, most of the hundreds of people who were eating panicked, some asked loudly what was going on, and some simply hid under the table, but more people chose to run out to see what was going on.
Damn! Rhodes realized at this time that there was no protest at all, and that tomorrow's so-called action was all a façade. Today's turmoil is what Lorenzo really planned. How many people are in the camp at the same time? What is this bastard Lorenzo doing now?
Lorenzo was now holding a wand and strolling around the camp. On the ground behind him lay several members of the intelligence group and the convoy, unknown to them.
All around is a crowd of scurrying residents. He watched the sudden chaos with a smile on his face, and with a flick of his wand, a head-sized fireball erupted and smashed into the wooden building, causing an explosion. Then the scattered flames set fire to several buildings.
As he blasted down a sentinel tower with a fireball, a cold light flashed across the back of his neck. Hearing only a ding, a transparent shield appeared behind him, and the attacker moved quickly, stabbing seven or eight more times in succession, and after a series of clanging sounds, the shield exploded, turning into a violent wind, blowing the attacker four or five meters away.
Lorenzo turned around and saw a thin figure holding a dagger, staring at him with fierce eyes. That's Katarina, dressed as a little boy and spying on him.
"What a fierce fighting skill, little mercenary. But don't you know? A warrior without a fighting spirit has no chance of winning in front of a mage. Lorenzo said as he pointed his wand at Caterina, and a dozen rays of light flew out from one end of the wand.
Caterina rolled on her side and pounced on the house on her right. The first few blows hit the ground, and most of the rest were blocked by the walls, but three rays of light still hit her. In desperation, Caterina twisted her body, avoided the vital points of her body, and blocked her chest with her left hand, but the shoulder, left arm, and outer thigh were still pierced by the light, and she fell to the ground with a torrential amount of blood.
Lorenzo didn't continue to attack, but sighed: "I would have liked to see how the Black Mountain Wizard made a move. I didn't expect them to be shrunken turtles, and they only let a little ghost like you come to die. Forget it, I'm not interested in killing a weak person like you, so just lie down. ”
With that, he was about to leave, but a tall man blocked his way.
"'Starry Sky Meditations', you are actually a member of the Temple of Wisdom. Rhodes held a long sword in his hand and slowly approached, his body already emitting a fierce aura. Lorenzo's true strength turned out to be much more than he guessed.
"'Breaking the Army'. Ah, the bugs hiding in my ranks are actually from the Temple of the God of War. According to your strength, you're at least a commander, right? However, I'm very busy today, and I don't have time to catch up with you. The tip of Lorenzo's wand slowly gathered light, "I just used a few beams of starlight from the Starry Sky Meditation, do you want to see moonlight or even shooting stars?"
"What the hell is your temple of wisdom trying to do?"
"The rest is our show, you just have to watch it quietly. Lorenzo said lightly, "For the sake of the traditional friendship between the temples, let's stop here for today." ”
"But what if I want to keep you down and have a good talk?" said Rod as he suddenly lunged forward, raising his sword and slashing at Lorenzo.
The sword that enveloped the fighting light did not reach Lorenzo, and a curtain of light stood between him and Rhodes. Galaxy - Defensive magic in the contemplation of the starry sky. The defense is far greater than the wind shield that was shattered by Katarina.
However, this was expected by the two, both Rod and Lorenzo continued to make moves, and for a while, the cold starlight and the scorching fighting spirit were intertwined in this small space.
After another fight, the two staggered. Lorenzo said coldly: "No, you are not from the God of War Temple, the people of the God of War Temple have already reached an agreement with us on this area, and they will not be entangled. But your combat skills are all taught by the Temple of the God of War, so there is only one possibility, you are a defector!"
Rhodes didn't answer and continued to storm the other side. However, the "Starry Sky Meditations", as the god-given magic of the Temple of Wisdom, is by no means easy to deal with. God-given magic, as the name suggests, is the magic given by God to believers, and these magic are often self-contained, containing multiple complementary magics. Not only are they very complementary in function, but they can also promote each other in cultivation, and their power is often very considerable.
Under the protection of layers of galaxies, Lorenzo actually stopped running, but closed his eyes and let Rhodes bombard the barrier with his fighting energy.
The galaxy grew thinner and thinner under the chopping, and began to crumble. However, just as Rhodes was about to deliver the final blow, Lorenzo suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, "Bond!"
Countless tiny talismans appeared around Rhodes, and they quickly formed a chain around Rhodes, and then quickly tightened. Rhodes, who was swinging his sword, was completely unable to resist these chains, and was tied up into a cicada chrysalis in an instant.
Lorenzo, on the other hand, seemed to have consumed a great deal of spiritual power, and he was unable to maintain the power of the galaxy, so that the barrier dissipated automatically.
Rhodes ignited his fighting spirit several times, trying to break the chains, and with his strength, even the chains made of steel would break. However, those slender, thin character chains did not move.
"This is not the magic of the Temple of Wisdom. Are you ......" Rhodes was about to say something, when the chains suddenly tightened and stifled his words.
"Hey, people who know too much always die fast!" At this time, in the face of Rod, who had lost his ability to dodge, Lorenzo directly consumed the last of his spiritual power to release the killing move in the starry sky meditation book: moonlight.
A ray of light with a diameter of more than half a meter emanated from Lorenzo's hand, enveloping Rod's upper body, and Rod could not move, so he could only fight with the rest of his fighting energy. However, under the moonlight, the fighting spirit melted away at an extremely fast speed, and the light was about to knock him to ashes.
At this point, Caterina struggled to her feet and limped at Lorenzo.
Lorenzo held his left hand against the stabbing dagger, and once again propped up a wind shield. He knew very well in his heart that by the time Caterina shattered this wind shield, Rhodes would have already turned into ashes.
Is it really useless? My assassination skills are so weak in front of a magician. No, then Rhodes will die. So how can I protect Crete. In this way, I will not be able to keep up with Lord Xiao Chen's footsteps. Caterina used all her strength on the dagger, but in exchange for only a sneer from Lorenzo on the other side of the wind shield.
Lorenzo's left hand changed to a palm, and the wind shield suddenly rolled up, changing from a hemispherical shape to a barrel, wrapping Caterina in a barrier formed by the wind element. For Lorenzo, who had already learned some psychic resonance techniques, it was not difficult to change the form of magic.
Caterina felt herself being held by a giant hand. The giant hand kept squeezing her, making it almost impossible for her to breathe, and soon blood was pouring out of her nostrils and mouth. Combined with the three wounds on her body, she had already lost a lot of blood.
She entered a state of drowsiness, her eyes could no longer be opened, and she could faint at any moment. Only the obsession in her heart made her persist and not fall down.
I, I won't give up, as long as I still have a little strength, I will also poke with the dagger in my hand and bite with the teeth in my mouth to prevent this guy from succeeding.
As long as there is a trace of strength in my body, I will use that strength and fight until the last moment.
Just as Caterina was about to use the last of her strength to stab her last counterattack, a powerful force was born in her. The power came from nowhere, but it belonged to the wind, but it was purer than the wind that trapped her. When the wind in these bodies caress each cell, these cells are reborn. Caterina could perceive the wounds being repaired one by one, and the energy being injected into the body.
In an instant, Caterina opened her eyes, and the power of the nascent fighting energy burst out from her body and poured into her dagger, and Lorenzo's wind shield shattered in front of the awakened wind fighting energy. With a dagger of green mang, he sliced through the wind shield with a single blow and stabbed Lorenzo in the heart.
