Chapter 64: Escape from Grivel
Sure enough, as Wright had guessed, there was a dark figure standing on the roof, and the other party spotted Stan and Nerfi flying up, and seemed a little surprised, and took two steps back vigilantly.
Stan and Nerfi stood on the roof, and most of Serendra's houses had a spire design to allow the rainwater to flow to the ground as quickly as possible, with Nerfi standing on the ridge with her feet on either side. Stan had to stand on the leaning side, trying to keep his weight in the middle, barely keeping his balance. "Who!?" the sword in the knight's hand gleamed dimly in the moonlight.
"I should have asked you that, why are you following us?" The other man's face was hooded, and it was night, making it impossible for Stan to see his face.
Nerfi looked at the other man, he was wearing a dark green mage robe, which could easily be seen as black in the night. "I know if you don't say it, you are the mage of the Mage Tower, and we should sit down and talk, instead of meeting each other with swords like we do now. ”
Although the other party was surprised that Nellfi could recognize his identity, he didn't seem to appreciate it. "Who the hell are you? It's not just ordinary adventurers who dare to break into here, and seeing how well equipped you are, the people in the room are more like soldiers. ”
Stan tries to get close to the mage, but a broken tile slips under his feet, and is blocked by another tile before it can fall off the eaves, and Stan exhales nervously, not daring to move half a step. "We're here to deal with the Twilight Cult, and I'm sure you are too, so we shouldn't be enemies of each other. ”
"You know the Twilight Cult?" the green-robed mage hesitated for a moment, and his hand unconsciously reached for his waist.
Nerfi spotted his move and preemptively cast the Holy Spirit Summon, sending several balls of light flying out from behind him and quickly crashing into the mage on the opposite side. The other party obviously didn't expect that this girl in thin civilian clothes was also a mage, and she was caught off guard and fell to the ground and lay tightly on the ridge of the roof to avoid being knocked down.
Nerfi walked up to the mage and watched him warily. "Are you bringing those ghosts here, too? We have no ill intentions, so why would you stop us from retreating before we can find out who we are?"
"Hmph......" The mage who fell to the ground sneered. "For us, as long as anyone who stops us is an enemy, whether it is the Twilight Cult or those of you who don't know the origin, do you think I don't know? "It's a pity that I didn't expect that there were mages among you, and I was still wondering why those ghosts didn't feel your breath, and I didn't dare to act rashly, now that I understand everything, then ......"
The mage's hand holding the roof suddenly burst into light, and Nerfi subconsciously covered her eyes. "Be careful!" Stan shouted, struggling to take a few steps in front of Nerfi, and almost at the same moment, the roof suddenly collapsed, and the three of them fell together. In the air, Stan hugs Nerfi and puts himself underneath him, falling heavily to the second floor. The old rotten floor could not withstand such a big impact, and was directly knocked out of a big hole, and the three of them fell together on the muddy ground on the first floor, startling Magil and the others on the second floor and the knights on the first floor all raised their swords, thinking that the ghost had attacked from the top of the building. The horses were also frightened and kept neighing.
As soon as he fell to the ground, Stan let go of Nerfi in his arms, despite the pain in his back, and immediately got up, grabbed the mage next to him, grabbed his hands, and pressed him firmly to the ground. "It's this guy who has attracted so many ghosts on the rooftops!"
Seeing that Stan had subdued the enemy, the knights hurried to calm the frightened horses, and it took a lot of effort for several knights to calm them down. Magir also fell from the second floor, rubbing his shoulders as he crouched down to look at the mage who had been held down. "Who is he? Is he a mage?"
"That's right, the people of the Mage Tower. Stan sat on top of the mage, still gasping for air.
Stan was much stronger than the mage, and he was completely immobile when he sat down, but he laughed coldly, and the eerie laughter was even more eerie in the night. "You'd better be concerned about the ghosts outside, don't you think they can't hear when they make such a loud noise? ”
Nellfi gets up from the ground, and Stan's protection leaves her unharmed. "My barrier not only stops the breath from leaking out, but also shields the sound and ......" Suddenly, Nerfi realized something, she paused, and then immediately ran towards the door in a panic. "My barrier is gone!"
Magir ran to the door after Nerfi, only to see countless ghosts finally find their way and begin to drift slowly towards the house where they were. "Hell, they've spotted us, get on our horses and get ready to break out!" Magill shouted as he shoved Zach and Xavier, who were standing in the doorway, towards the herd.
The knights all run towards their horses, and Magill runs past Stan. "Ulf, you and Stan find a way to tie this guy up and take him away with me, drag him or hang him, and take him out for me anyway!"
Ulf ran back from his horse, looking at the mage on the ground in confusion. "Hell, where to find the rope at this time?"
"Magir didn't understand, he couldn't tie it with a rope, he would quietly recite the incantation. Stan lifts the mage from the ground and clasps it tightly in front of him.
Ulf glanced at the mage helplessly, and then suddenly punched him in the head, and the shot was so fast that Stan didn't react, the mage's head immediately hung to the side, and he didn't even let out a scream, Wright asked tremblingly, "Ulf, are you going to kill him?" ”
"He's just fainted, go, you and Clifford are on the same horse!" Ulf took the stunned mage from Stan's hand, threw him on the horse, and flipped over himself. "Dealing with this kind of person should make him suffer a little. ”
Everyone was on their horses, and the ghost at the front was already crowded around the door, only a few yards away. Only to hear Nelfi shouting loudly. "Close your eyes!" Two seconds later, a blinding flash of light illuminates the room, and Stan closes his eyes, but still feels a white color in front of him, followed by several violent crashes, followed by the sound of stones falling to the ground. He opened his eyes as the whiteness faded in front of him, and the wall in front of him had been blasted into a large hole, large enough for two horses to pass side by side. The flash of light stunned the ghost in front of the door, and for a moment stopped continuing further into the house.
"I'll clear the way! I've got an obsidian sword!" Stan rode to the gap first, and a horde of ghosts outside the house blocked the way. "Nerfi, follow me, I need your magic!" With that, Stan grabbed his mount, hissed hopefully, and jumped out of the gap, Nalfi raised his wand and followed closely.
"Knights of Canrito, keep up with you, don't let these catch you by the tail!" The knights walked through the gap in pairs, following Stan and Nerfi, Magill and Tirin were the last to leave, and when they crossed the gap, the ghost at the doorway had recovered from their stun and was rushing towards them.
The road in the ruins was filled with all kinds of white and purple ghosts, blocking the whole wide line of truth. Nerfi swung forward, golden balls of light knocking them back several yards as they hit the ghosts, then stunned them in place. Some of the ghosts that were still stuck in the road were split in half by Stan's sword, which was then caught up, and the stun caused by the magic made it easy for Stan to eliminate the ghosts blocking the road.
But there are so many ghosts gathered around the house, not only is there endless chasing from behind, but even those in the way of the road are also in sight of no hope of being wiped out, Stan shouts anxiously behind him. "We've got to figure out a way, or Nerfi won't be able to unleash her magic until we leave here, and her mental power won't be able to destroy most of the ghosts!"
"Damn, our swords can't hurt them!" Magir replied loudly from behind, the knights who followed him had already tried to slash the ghosts on either side with their swords, but the sword slashed through their bodies as if it were through the air, and if it weren't for the fact that most of the ghosts on both sides of the path were stunned by magic, they would have been pulled off their horses long ago.
"Nerfi!" Stan slashed away from another ghost in front of him, looking back at the mage behind him. "Is there anything you can do?"
Nerfi withdrew her waving hand and leaned over the horse. "I'll try. She took a deep breath, then straightened up again, her wand raised high in her right hand, and chanted a long, complex incantation in her mouth.
Without the attack of Nerfi's light orb, the ghosts in the way were even more difficult to deal with, and Steiner had to dodge their attacks while slashing with his obsidian sword, and the speed of the group also slowed down, seeing that there were more and more ghosts in front of him, Stan's speed of eliminating the ghosts was already slower than the speed at which they were coming, and the ghosts behind were gradually approaching. "Quick!
Suddenly, an intense golden light comes up from behind Stan, and the whole world lights up, even brighter than the sun. The moon and the stars in the sky were drowned in light, the night was like day, and the ghosts around were gone.
"Quick, just now, the light won't last long!" Nerfi struggled to raise her wand, and her whole body was drowned in golden light.
Stan gritted his teeth and led the group forward. "Hold on, Nerfi!"
