Chapter 63: Escape
The dazzling flash of electricity flickered, leaving behind four men with stiff limbs, their slightly charred skin, and the girl intact in the center of the room. The girl seemed to be a little surprised by such a result, and was stunned for a moment, before she waved her smaller fist in mid-air again and grimaced at them: "You know it's amazing!"
At this moment, the fingertips of the slightly haired black-haired man trembled slightly, and his hair was originally combed neatly down, highlighting the curves of his face, but now after turning into strange curls of different lengths, it looked unexpectedly a little more wild and charming. Within a few seconds, his arms trembled, and his lips pursed vigorously.
"Frightened!" Scarly screamed, and before the hot fat man could say the words, "It's really powerful," she had already scurried to the door, grabbed the handle and pulled it violently—
"Bang!" the sound of the door hitting the chain or the door frame shook Scarly's periosteum, causing her heart to beat violently, almost with a "clang".
The door is locked!
"Ahem. The hot fat man coughed twice, and walked slowly towards Scarly as if he were calm—of course, it was also possible that the numbness on his body had not completely passed, "Well done." I see—that 'paralyzing perception' is not directed at any one of us. Is it triggered by a lightning spell? or is it a stored ...... After that, I can release magic items in a strengthened way, and even I can't get access to them often, so it's really negligent. ”
"Bang bang—" Scully tried to pull the door back and forth, but to no avail.
This is one of the typical manifestations of losing one's mind due to panic and fear, and it is more common after a moment of reassurance and even self-righteousness, mainly in works with horror, supernatural, and horror as the main elements. Generally speaking, at such times, the monster in charge of chasing behind it will often deliberately ignore its theoretical ability to move at high speed and even teleport, so as to approach the victim who is trying to escape from its hands, and stand behind him or her and wait for him or her to turn back, so as to scare him.
The hot fat man wasn't one of those monsters, so Scarly looked back in panic to find that he was still four or five meters away from the door. Four or five meters is not too much, and considering that the place where they were at the beginning was only about ten meters from the door, this distance was enough for Scarly to relax slightly.
However, before her heart could hit the ground, it flew again, and the other three large scorched black people behind the hot fat man also began to move, and the original featureless duo was now joined by another person, and as their heads shook to regain the sense of movement, they formed the bald trio...... Scarly was startled, now was not the time to dwell on their names!
"Should I say that I deserve to be the daughter of the Miltrov family?" The hot fat man didn't look back, so he shouldn't know the information that the other three people were about to be able to act, but he was still not in a hurry, and chuckled gracefully, "All the boring exchanges and actions that we did before, well, to judge our strength? No, it's just that it doesn't take that long." Is it to speculate on our purposes? Truly, I admire you more and more. ”
"Obviously, he is only a mage apprentice, and he still has such a calm mentality when he is in danger, he doesn't think about how to escape quickly, but he keeps his spare time and wants to find the mastermind behind the scenes. On top of that, he almost succeeded - "Is it because of his absolute strength to show off, or is it because of such a disparity in strength that he is so embarrassed and angry that he wants to take revenge to his heart's content? Or is it just his personal bad habit......
Scarly didn't think about why the fat man made such a mistake, she just knew that this was an opportunity. She lowered her voice as low as she could, burying the chanting of the incantation in the hot fat man's loud nonsense, and did her best to speed up her speech, adjusting her mental fluctuations to the rhythm that was sped up. This was a dangerous attempt, and she didn't study the courses in the academy city very hard, but she was still impressed by the teachings of the teacher when she was a child.
The disconnection between the chanting of mantras and the fluctuation of mental power is not an uncommon accident, but the risks involved are enormous. Usually the situation is just a waste of mental energy, but sudden exhaustion, headaches, dizziness are not uncommon, and even worse, there will be a long period of uncontrollable physical conditions, and according to rumors, some people have fallen into an eternal coma.
If it was in the past, Scarly would never have disrupted the habit of spell speed and mental power frequency that had been cultivated during magic practice at this time. At some point, Scarly added something to her personality that wasn't there before. From the day he refused to return to his family, from the day he lost his past hairstyle in a mountain of fires, from the day he presided over the gambling game in front of all eyes?
The moment the spell ended, Scarly's tiny tongue licked lightly across her upper lip.
Thin water vapor condensed above Scarly's head, but no one could see it, all one could see was that in the empty place, a radiant electric snake flew down in the air, drew an angular folded line, and bit very close in front of Scarly.
The damage effect of the Level 2 Magic Lightning Strike is in the middle of the five basic damage spells, without the majestic explosion of the Fireball Technique, the indestructible sharpness of the Wind Blade Technique, the slight paralyzing sensation it brings, and the control effect is not comparable to the Water Archery Technique that can repel the opponent and the Rock Avalanche Technique that makes it difficult for the enemy to move. But it also has its advantages.
The speed of thunder - not the speed of thunder, but the speed of real thunder, makes the attack of the lightning mage fast and accurate, and even if the things that can be perceived are small, it is almost impossible to escape the blow of the lightning strike because of the movement.
"Lightning Strike Technique? Using a level 1 spell and a level 2 spell in a row, he actually looks like he is at ease. It's really enviable, when I was a mage apprentice, I didn't have so much extra mental power for me to squander. The hot fat man shook his head, "But, I have to say but." Lightning strikes can't split such heavy locks. The bald boy - the original bald boy, I don't really like him, but I also have to say that he was very thoughtful. ”
"So that lock can't be split with lightning strikes—" "Bang Bang Bang!" "Huh?"
The hot fat man was stunned to see the heavy lock on the door fall to the ground along with the chains, and the metal door, which was supposed to open sideways in a relatively normal way, actually fell straight out after Scarly pushed it hard. Scarly looked back and smirked, and the fat man rubbed his eyes incredulously.
At the same time as a long blue light flashed on Scarly's body, the hot fat man finally reacted, and made a look of sudden realization, and glanced at the bald head who had just walked up to him: "Directly destroy the thing that holds the door lock and the latch of the door! ”
With the addition of the level 1 buff spell "Speed Up Reaction - Change", Scarly habitually sighed at the non-distinctive name in her heart, and then sped off like a swift cheetah. The bald boy showed an anxious look, and one of the new featureless bald boys was slightly contemplative, and while the light flashed on his body, he also floated over like a gust of wind.
Only the fat man with a hot head, obviously because of his arrogant attitude and endless nonsense, which led to the embarrassing situation at this moment, but he still maintained that arrogant posture without fear, and looked up and sighed solemnly: "Alas, Miss Miltrov, why do you have to resist uselessly? You should be able to think of the result, right? Don't blame me." ”
As soon as the hot fat man's hand was raised, three lightning rays that were thicker than the lightning strike technique used by Scarly instantly formed on her side, and Scarly, who was blessed with "Speed Up Reaction - Change", not only had a faster frequency of her legs when running, but also had an incomparably high braking efficiency, and she stood still almost at the same moment, caught between the three lightning rays that had not disappeared, and she couldn't move.
At about the same time, the new bald boy like the wind also floated over, and his somewhat dull-looking face sighed with a wooden expression: "Miss Miltrov, let's go back-"
"Hah! I found it! Sure enough, it's here!" came the loud cry of a man who had not yet fully matured in the distance, and the slender figure seemed a little blurry in the faint light of the morning, as if it had raised its hands and swayed, blending in with the street and the horizon.
However, it was not the shout that was far away, but the hand that was close at hand, and the calm, old, kind but majestic voice that sounded as the hand pressed on his shoulder: "It is forbidden to engage in injurious private fights in the academy city. Are you dueling? Who's the notary?"
The new bald boy was very serious about whether to throw a wind blade directly into the face of this arrogant guy at the moment he turned around, but when he saw the old face covered with pale hair, full of folds and scars, he was full of happiness in his heart, he had been mixed with the other featureless boy for a long time recently, and his personality was not as impulsive as before: "City, Your Excellency the City Lord?!"
"I'd prefer you to call me Dean. When he stared at that old face that had been ravaged by the war, the kind feeling in his voice would be very discordant, and one couldn't help but feel that his closeness contained the sinister aura of a monster that chose to devour people, "But the city lord is not wrong. I am the builder of College City, Skordi. Skordi' Lone wolf'. ”
Skordi, the legendary adventurer, one of the few legendary mages in the world today, will be virtually impossible to destroy as long as he is alive, and will not even be offended. After his success, he took the nickname that others had taken as an adventurer. The old man made the edges and corners of his face disappear, but the sharpness between his eyebrows did not diminish at all.
The new bald boy glanced inside the room, and the other two bald and permed fat men were very well-behaved people, and they had already run away without a trace. However, in reality, it didn't make much sense, the power of the legendary mage was unimaginable to them, not to mention that Lord Lone Wolf was an adventurer before, and there were at least a hundred ways to find them who escaped.
Fortunately, His Excellency Lone Wolf didn't seem to notice, or the three of them were not interested, and waited patiently for about twenty seconds, seeing that the new bald boy still didn't say a word, so he smiled a little - his smile brought scars and folds all over his face, making his face look even more eerie, and turned to look at Scali who was imprisoned in the cage of electric light: "This should be the daughter of the Miltrov family, right? It's lovely indeed. ”
Scarly and the new bald boy couldn't help but be stunned when they heard the headless words of His Excellency Lone Wolf. At the same time, the tall and thin man who was shouting and waving his hand from a long distance just now had already run over, and he seemed to be running in a hurry, and he was out of breath: "Whew-Whew-Dean, why are you running so fast all of a sudden...... Ah, Miss, I'm sorry I forgot to salute you. ”
Brunei breathed for a moment, straightened up, tapped his right hand on his left shoulder, bent down, and saluted with impeccable courtesy, before speaking: "Honorable Miss, your loyal squire Brunei Carlisle has put you in danger by making a mistake, please punish you!"
Scarly's face flushed with a blush—
His Excellency Lone Wolf coughed twice: "Little Brother Carlisle, the etiquette you do is a noble etiquette, not the etiquette of a guard?"
"Huh?"
[Haha, don't you know?]
"Did you know? Why didn't you say it earlier!"
[Well, that's a good question. Because- it's fun!hahahaha!]
