Volume 1 Money Empire Chapter 0016 Mysterious Witness
"I'm going to run, I don't want to die here. Caposo finally came to his senses for a moment, and he turned to escape.
A fireball hit him in the back, and the wet clothes instantly evaporated white water vapor, and then burned, and the burning Caposo screamed, his legs kept running, he tried to extinguish the flames on his body as he ran, and slapped his hands on the clothes, but to no avail.
It wasn't until fifty paces away that the running Burning Man slowed down, became lower and lower, until it collapsed, and finally merged with the dirt and became a part of the earth, and the wizard of the Iron Raven Medal paid with his life for his negligence.
Tang Ning glanced at it, a little funny, the wizard of the Iron Raven Order actually tried in vain to kill the disciple of Luo Ning, the most outstanding fire elemental archmage in the Eternal Continent, and this young mage was blue, and after failing, he tried to escape.
In Catherta, Uncle Ronin had taught Downing the deepest fire elemental spells without reservation, and he could clearly remember Uncle Ronin's comments when he mentioned other supernatural powers.
"How can that inferior, inferior, bad garbage be comparable to the fire elemental. Each such evaluation would incur the displeasure of the other uncles, but Ronin would never change his words and say half a kind word to comfort them.
Downing shook the rain off his raincoat and cleaned the mud from his leather boots so that it would not affect his footsteps, and hurried to the place where Cybertron and Turan were.
"Paladin, I hope that the gods you believe in will bless you until I arrive. Downing thought so, and there were a lot of mud spots splashed on his trouser legs, and his steps became faster and faster.
When he arrived at the place, someone was kneeling on one knee in the mud of the rainy night, his clothes were tattered, the holy sword was broken, the light was gone, and Downing recognized that it was Cybertron, the paladin.
The battle was over, Turan was gone, the paladin was dead, Downing was a little remorseful for talking too much nonsense to that Caposo, delaying time, and after getting closer, he stretched out his hand and put it on the embarrassed paladin kneeling in the mud, without breath.
Standing in the wilderness rainforest of the night, Tang Ning admired this paladin in his heart, even if he died, he would not have the slightest disrespect for the god he believed in, and he maintained his dignity when he died, just like those carved paladin statues in front of the church.
He bowed down to the statue-like paladin, and when he bent down, Tang Ning didn't get up for a long time, and he saw something strange, the hand of the paladin on the ground still had a faint glow, hidden in the mud.
The holy light is still there, the paladin is not dead, Tang Ning approached in surprise, re-examined, and did not breathe, but his heart still beats faintly, this is the result of relying on the strength of his will, in the face of a silver crow badge wizard who is much stronger than himself, the Iron Sword Order Paladin actually relied on his will to retain his last breath and held it in his body.
According to common sense, to defeat a wizard with a silver crow badge, you need a paladin with a silver sword badge, even a paladin with a bronze sword badge can't survive, but common sense is now broken.
There had never been a precedent for this, and Downing thought it was incredible, but it was all true, pulling out the paladin's palm embedded in the mud, the holy light in his palm flickered, as if it was about to disperse at any moment, and when the holy light was extinguished, he would die.
"Man, hold on. Downing picked up the paladin, who was in a kneeling position, stretched his body, and ran wildly in the darkness towards the town, where he had to save the paladin and prevent the Holy See from paying attention to it.
Earlier, Turan watched as the paladin's holy sword shattered, and the fire of hell consumed the paladin's life until the paladin's life was over and the holy light was extinguished.
But he didn't notice that the holy light of the paladin's hand that had been embedded in the ground was still there, and Turan stroked the purple robe with his black and purple palm, and the white gas on the purple robe wet by the rain steamed, and the rain evaporated, and the purple robe returned to dryness.
He had killed a paladin, but he didn't want the news to get out of the way, it would be extremely bad for him, no one could afford the wrath of the Holy See, and the only witness, the Iron Raven Emblem wizard, had already fled, and he had to make sure that the witness would not speak.
Only the dead man will not speak, no, he has to make the souls of the witnesses disappear as well. With this in mind, Turan chased after him in the direction of Capposo's escape.
The darkness and mud hid each other's footprints, natural camouflage, but this was not difficult for the wizard of the silver crow badge, he took out a small bag, took out the light blue powder, sprinkled it on the muddy ground, and a string of footprints clearly appeared on the ground.
Following the footprints, the footprints soon stopped abruptly, and lost the clue to follow, Turan leaned down to look at the ashes on the ground that were different from ordinary dirt, which had been burned by the flames, and could even tell where the flames came from.
The Iron Raven Badge wizard was burned to death, which meant that there was another witness besides the Iron Raven Badge wizard, and Turan's heart rose to his throat, and he examined the ashes that had been washed away by the rain to try to discern the identity of the one who burned the witness.
His complexion became more and more ugly, even more ugly than when he met a paladin with the Silver Sword Badge of the same rank, and he already had some eyebrows, which frightened him, this was the fireball flame from a mage, and the wizard of the Iron Raven Badge was burned to death by a mage.
This means that the other witness is a mage, and according to the level of this fireball, it is at least a high-level fireball, or even higher.
As the basic means of attack of the fire elemental mage, the fireball technique is divided into three levels: low-level fireball technique, iron rod badge mage release, ordinary fireball technique, bronze staff badge mage release, high-level fireball technique, silver rod badge mage release, then the other witness is at least a silver rod badge mage, or even higher, because with his means, he can only analyze this level.
Fire mages have always been known for their temper, a mage with a silver staff badge or higher is a nightmare for wizards, fire purifies everything, is the nemesis of the possessor of supernatural powers like wizards, is this fire mage friend or foe? Turan worried.
He was caught in a dilemma in the dark rainforest, either the killing of the paladin could be exposed, or he could find the dangerous fire mage, but that would cost him his life.
"Damn the rain, can't you just stop for a while and let me have a moment of peace to think. Turan poured his dilemma of anger on the innocent rain, and his wisdom slipped away from him because of his impatience and his ability to think.
Instead, the rain grew heavier, and it crackled on the ground, as if in response to Turan's disrespect, mocking the wizard who thought he had a good plan.
After wandering for a long time, the clothes on his body were already soaked, and Turan suddenly figured it out. "To hell with your damn mission, Artot, leave this matter to you, and if the Holy See doesn't let me go, I won't hide the truth for you. ”
He didn't want to take a huge risk to track down a fire mage with a silver staff badge or even higher, and end up costing his life, he was going to get out of here, hide far away, and preferably never set foot in this place, leaving this mess to the cardinal who enjoyed the blessings of Blotter.
Of course, before that he could do so, he had to find a hidden place to hide and watch the news, and the best thing to do was that the mage kept silent about what happened here tonight.
Fortunately, Turan was right, and Downing didn't want this matter to get out, so the Holy See made a big move, got up early the next morning, changed into clean clothes, and went to the street to inquire about the news.
The wizard with the silver crow badge fled overnight, not even wanting anything in his room, and the innkeeper scolded the guy for not even paying for the room before leaving.
"Damn traveler, guests at the hostel will need to pay a deposit for a week before they can check in. "The innkeeper was hysterical and angry at the hostel's staff.
As for the dying paladin who was brought back last night, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Tang Ning did not choose to bring it back to his residence, but put it at the door of a house, knocked on the door and left.
The best place to inquire is naturally the tavern, where you can hear everything about the town, order a tequila, sit in the corner, and listen to the drunkards gossiping.
"Hey, have you heard, the Bulma family picked up a paladin last night, I heard that he was dying when he picked it up, and he should be dead, the paladin of the Holy See died in the town, and the town is lively to see again. ”
Downing's hand twitched, and the wine spilled.
"Larson, you are confused, don't talk nonsense, he is not dead, I heard that the paladin is alive, it must be the blessing of God. ”
Someone shouted. "It must be God's blessing. ”
Getting the news he wanted, Downing left the tavern and returned to the inn, it was a miracle that Cybertron was alive, and he thought to himself that the paladin was lucky.
Soon there was a knock on the door, it was Foster, the unprecedented paladin disappeared last night, the ghost who had thought of damning it was finally gone, and he slept peacefully, and early the next morning he heard about Cybertron from those government officials, and he mistakenly thought that Downing had done it.
"Tangning, you've made a big mistake, leave quickly, it's not a trivial matter to kill a paladin, it will incur punishment from the Holy See, damn it, I should have personally persuaded you to leave, instead of letting Alice inform you. ”
Foster blames himself a little, he is used to taking the responsibility on himself, he lives very carefully, even a little mistake is not allowed, this is not a strong sense of responsibility, years of poor experience and the white eyes of those big people after making mistakes made him develop this cautious habit, not allowed to make a little mistake, even if someone else's mistake leads to something wrong and wrong related to himself, he will be worried and afraid, afraid of losing something for this, because he really doesn't have much.
