Chapter 32: Suicide (2950 votes)
- Recommended tickets and commuter passes after midnight~
..........................................................................................
The explosion stopped, and the building didn't tremble anymore, but many knight squires and ordinary people still felt their ears buzzing, as if there were countless flies flying, and they couldn't hear anything clearly.
One of the knights who had followed Viscount Wright to the site of the explosion returned, and said to the adventurers: "Blown down a wall, a few pillars, and destroyed a quarter of a wax museum, but fortunately there are no wax figures over there, and no one has passed." Now that the Viscount and the other two are there to extinguish the attached flames, let me come and warn you to be careful not to be attacked by others. He judged that it was either a medium alchemy explosive, or a four-ring magician bombarded with fireballs. ”
Although the level of each magic is fixed, the power will increase rapidly as the user's strength increases, and the fireball technique of the four-ring mage and the three-ring mage is completely different in terms of destructive power.
The Adventurer's Night's Watch nodded, "The Lords, Mr. Brown, and the other knights responded quickly and correctly, and didn't give the cowardly magicians who hid like rats a chance. Hopefully, my companion has captured the archer from before, and I'm going to use the magic item to summon the other Night's Watch to come over, so that no one will give up on the way back. ”
The successive attacks and the failure to find the Assassin really made the night watchman feel bad, and he could not ask the bishop and priest to do the ambush and killing.
"It's best if you could be so cautious, Lord Viscount has never been so angry. The knight turned and walked over to Thorge, ready to relay Viscount Wright's words of comfort.
"Oliyev, you'd better let me go back right away, it's too dangerous here. Brown panicked, slightly frantically.
The night watchman, Oliyev, understood Brown's emotional state well, and the successive attacks were really frightening and intimidating. And Brown is not really a knight, and is much worse in will: "Mr. Brown, wait for the night watchmen I have gathered to arrive." I'll send you home. ”
In his opinion, if it weren't for the thunder and rain in the three attacks, and not a single assassin appeared, Brown wouldn't be in such a bad state. And as soon as the assassin appears. Brown should be able to calm his mood, because the unknown is the most irritating thing to wait, especially when the unknown is still frightening.
"How long do you have to wait, why don't you go directly to the pastor or bishop of the nearby church?" Brown urged with fear and anger.
Oliyev shrugged his shoulders: "This kind of thing. How could the noble priests and bishops, bathed in the light, do it? ”
Brown looked a little restless: "Oliyev, I don't want to live like this anymore, I don't want to be a bait anymore!
"Mr. Brown, composed, composed. This lack of substance only shows that the Council of Magic lacks more means. And without sacrificing the courage of a mid-level magician, you will definitely not be in danger. Oliyev comforted him for a few words, and then said, "I will immediately gather my companions with the magic item." ”
"Oliyev, please hurry. Brown paced impatiently, fear growing in his heart.
"Get out of here. There's a lot of danger here!"
"Leave quickly, there will be a high-level magician who will directly destroy the wax museum!"
The fear in his heart seemed to turn into countless urging voices, making his nerves tense more and more, and he felt like he was about to be driven crazy by the suppression of fear, and the angel feathers on his body disappeared little by little as he moved.
"Go, go, go!"
"Knock! knock!"
The shouts and the sound of his heartbeat seemed to merge into one, making Brown feel that he could no longer bear it, and when he saw that Oliyev was making contact, his eyes flickered slightly, and then he rushed towards the gate without looking back.
The speed given to Brown by Regenerative Bloodline caused him to drag an afterimage out and disappear into the doorway before everyone could react.
The crowd outside the wax museum had been deserted by the explosion, and Brown was running without looking back, though he didn't know where he wanted to run.
Inside the wax museum, Oliyev, who was contacting the other night watchmen, didn't react until Brown rushed out the door.
"Not good!" he followed.
After Brown ran more than ten meters, a strong sense of danger suddenly emerged from the bottom of his heart, which made him wake up from that state of extreme panic.
"Oops!" Brown knew that something was wrong, but there was already a flash of fire in front of him, and a fireball the size of a skull hit him directly in the upper body.
While being hit by the fireball, Brown subconsciously looked in the direction where the fireball was flying.
His red-red pupils reflected the scene around the corner of the wax museum, where a young man in a tall black top hat was pushing his monocle with his left hand, the flame on his wrist dissipating.
Boom, the fireball exploded violently, Brown's upper body was torn apart, and the burning flames destroyed the regenerative ability of his cells, leaving him completely dead.
............
As soon as Oliyev ran to the gate, he heard this loud explosion, and an intuitive thought suddenly appeared in his heart.
"It's over, Brown is done......"
"The members of the Magical Council actually killed Brown under the protection of our Night's Watch and Knight?!"
Anger, absurdity, frustration and other emotions echoed in Oliyev's mind, but he continued to rush out of the shadows, trying to grasp the faint hope.
Countless charred corpse pieces were scattered on the ground, and only the lower half of the body was still intact.
Oliyev's heart quickly sank into the dark abyss, there was no hope, Brown was really dead!
Immediately after, the irrepressible anger rushed to his mind, and Oliyev's eyes were slightly red to judge the direction of the attack from the location of Brown's corpse, and he shouted to the big knights and knights who came behind: "The assassin is there!"
Led by him, a group of people chased around the corner of the wax museum.
But when they got around the corner, there was no one there.
Due to the explosion on the other side, the alley between the two buildings was empty, and the other party actually used magic to process the traces, which seemed to be calm.
"Chase!" how could Oliyev give up and continue to chase into the alleyway, but there are many artistic buildings on this island, and the alley between them is as dense as a spider's web, and the night watchman who can detect and track magic is led away by the previous commotion, and they can only rely on a few remaining traces to keep chasing separately.
Gradually, Oliyev chased to the other side of the island, and the little trace that remained was completely gone, and there were many sharp boats coming and going on the canal, and it was impossible to tell which boat the Assassin was on.
"Bastard!"
Although this night watchman who was only second-level, due to his special bloodline, he could briefly burst out of the strength of a third-level great knight at a critical moment.
Then, refusing to give up, he contacted the captain of the Night's Watch and the bishop to look down from mid-air, while trying to find traces in other directions.
............
In the window compartment of the bathroom of a high-end restaurant on the bank of the canal behind Oliyev, Lucien burst into flames and burned the black suit, shirt and pants he had just had, and had changed into a dark red shirt, matching trousers and leather shoes.
This is what Lucien dressed when he came out today, and his previous top hat, black suit, and monocle were hidden in this bathroom last night before waiting for the "ferryman".
However, Lucien had already changed three times, once when he came in the morning, sneaked into the restaurant, changed into clothes except for a top hat and monocles and waited for Brown on the canal, the second time he changed into his current outfit and waited in front of the restaurant, and the third time he changed and sneaked out of the bathroom.
While dealing with the ashes and smells, Lucien looked out the window at the canal, where there was a pointed boat that he had hired in advance, but when he arrived at the canal, he just paid for him to leave on his own, and then secretly put the pieces of leather shoes and monocles behind the boat, and when the boatman cleaned it up, he would definitely throw it directly into the canal.
After leaving the cubicle and arranging his neckline, and making sure that there was no difference from when he entered fifteen minutes ago, Lucien washed his hands and face, opened the bathroom door, and walked to the nearby box.
In the box, Grace was pacing back and forth a little nervously, and when she saw Lucien coming in, she hurriedly said, "Mr. Evans, did you hear that? There seems to be a violent explosion on the other side of the island!"
The explosion and the commotion diverted her attention, and it was no wonder that Lucien would take fifteen minutes to come out. Of course, it's not strange that it takes fifteen minutes to come out.
"I heard it too, it was loud and terrifying, I didn't expect this kind of explosion in Sturk!" Lucien closed the inside of the private room with his backhand, "But with the attention of the Lord, the protection of the Lord's shepherds and guards, we will not have any problems." Grace, calm down, and ask the waiter to find out what happened to the road. By the way, where did we just talk about?"
Seeing that there was no danger for so long, Grace heard Lucian's calm and gentle voice, so she also calmed down and smiled apologetically: "Mr. Evans, you were correcting some irregularities in my fingering just now. ”
She pressed her hands on the dining table to simulate the movements of playing the piano.
"Some of your fingering does still have traces of the past, but piano playing must have its own style......" Lucien has a deep knowledge and absolute authority in the field of piano playing, and his eloquence makes Grace nod frequently.
After the two exchanged music for more than half an hour, a waiter knocked softly on the door.
"What's the matter?" Grace was immersed in the music, a little unhappy to be interrupted.
The waiter replied politely and humbly, "Lady Grace, there are two knightly attendants of the Church doing a search. ”
Lucien had booked the room in Grace's name.
"Let them in. Even though Grace had a good position and status, she still did not dare to be arrogant in the face of the church, and she did not think that she would have any problems with the famous musician Mr. Lucien Evans. (To be continued.) )
