Chapter 219: An Opponent Who Can't Be Killed
Naturally, the cheese in the Apothecary's Guild could not hear the trumpets on the city walls. In fact, even if the mage hears the voice, it is likely that he does not know what the trumpet means, knowing very little about military affairs. But compared to the approaching rat army, the current situation may seem more dangerous for Cheese.
As the battle on the second floor continued, bricks and other things flew towards the mage from the patio and the breach in the ground, and in desperation, Cheese had to slow down his pace and use his magic to form a defensive force field to resist these stray bullets.
"Boom!"
As the mage took a few steps forward, trying to see the battle from the patio below, a heavy thud came from below. At the same time, Cheese saw something huge coming out of the corridor on the second floor, sending a cloud of smoke and dust, and as for the main body of the blow, it slammed into the mage's side.
"As a wolfwalker, you're really embarrassed to look like now. Cheese walked over to Jack, who had been knocked up, and used the magic force field to block the following debris, and said to his companion.
"Ha, you're definitely not as good as me after being stabbed in the stomach. The werewolf who got up from the ground replied with a curse, and it could be seen that even though Jack had almost turned into a wolf at this time, the hair on his abdomen was still stained with blood. And this blood comes from the wounds caused by Jason's sneak attack.
"Your wound... I didn't expect him to even get real silver. "Cheese knows that even if ordinary metal is sharp enough to cut through the werewolf's skin, the wound left behind is just a small wound that can be healed in an instant. Only pure silver can make Wolfwalkers as fragile as ordinary people.
"That's really unconvincing. Didn't you already know that this guy had betrayed? Don't tell me in advance, if that guy cuts my neck directly with the first knife, even if my life is hard, I'm afraid it will be cold at this time. Jack said as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"You've wronged me. I also entered the house and realized that Jason had a problem. But I didn't have a chance to tell you about it at that time. Cheese shrugged his shoulders and said to his companion, "But fortunately, he should have been given the task of holding us back, otherwise he would have been able to inflict a heavier blow on us." ”
"Even harder, your fiancée was thrown from the second floor by that bastard! Don't you see those spikes!" Jack looked at the mage in disbelief, he couldn't understand why Cheese was so calm in the face of betrayal.
"Don't get so excited, Jack. Colanty is fine. Cheese said and waved his hand with the ring, signaling to the werewolf that the engagement ring with the witch was still there, and this kind of contract item would automatically lose its magic if one of the two people in the contract died. The ring on the mage's hand was clearly still functioning, but it seemed to be tighter than usual, the thorny spikes pierced Cheese's fingers, and the blood that flowed out was absorbed by the ring.
The wolfwalker staggered to the mage, his body having to bend a little due to the height of the floor.
"Well, I don't know how you wizards can do it. But if you want me to say, if you know how to kill that traitor downstairs, you better tell us sooner. ”
Cheese didn't respond quickly to his companion's words, his eyes fixed on the place where Jack had been knocked off the third floor, and as the smoke and dust gradually fell, Jason, or the hapless guard possessed by Jason, appeared in the gap in the hallway.
"No way, we can't kill him. The mage shook his head and said.
"What do you mean, you can't kill, is that guy that strong existence?" Jack said in surprise. In Wolfwalker's mind, since Cheese can recognize Jason's race, there's no reason why he can't find a way to kill Jason. You know, the mage could tell at a glance that the wound in his abdomen was caused by real silver.
"Wizard Shadow is such a troublesome thing, and unless we kill the caster who summoned it, there is no way to destroy them completely. And if I'm guessing correctly, Jason's current master should be a whole group of witches. Cheese said, raising his voice, as if he was deliberately speaking to a distant enemy, "I'm right, right? ”
Hearing the mage's words, the captain of the guard sneered, and then the whole person quickly collapsed like a leaky balloon. A black shadow emerged from the man's seven orifices, and quickly condensed into a human appearance. At this time, Jason and Lothar were exactly the same when they first met.
"I have not broken my vows. Until Greene died, I was loyal to her. I just don't want to go back to that lightless world. ”
"So you've taken refuge with your enemies, the witches who have hunted her and her daughter here?" said Cheese, who had told the mage about being hunted down by the witches.
Originally, after Greene's death, Jason's contract should have been borne by her, but Emia was surprised to find that her connection with the Wizard Shadow had become a little blurred, and although this feeling only lasted for a short time, she still instinctively sensed that something was wrong. But as a witch, even Greene couldn't have a detailed understanding of the spells outside of the magical system she belonged to, which made it impossible for her to know what had happened to her connection with Jason.
"That witch can't support my existence. You know, the longer things like ours stay in this world, the more burdensome they put on the caster. Greene is strong enough, but her daughter, I don't think she's as good as Klanty. That's all Jason said, but Cheese understood what he meant.
If Aemia can't pay the price of keeping him in this world, then Jason will have to go and find someone who can pay for him. And the witches of a whole witch group, they would never refuse the allegiance of a powerful wizard shadow that had been preserved for more than twenty years. All it takes is a small trick to keep Emia from noticing that the contract between her and Jason has been broken, which is the main reason why the witch doesn't have time to warn Cheese Jason of something is wrong.
"Well, actually, I don't care about you at all. I just want to know, what you did today, can I understand that the witches behind you have declared war on me?" Cheese's eyes gradually cooled, perhaps the enemies who have the ability to support the evil priests and lichs to spread the plague are powerful opponents that will give the mage a headache, but a group of witches, why dare they provoke the gray-robed mage at such a time?
Jason didn't respond to Cheese's question, he just took a step back and blended into the shadows cast by the wall. In the next second, a short sword formed by the condensation of black shadows stabbed out from the shadow behind the mage towards the back of his heart.
