Chapter 9: Shadow Knight (4)
The mage didn't answer, it turned out that the Shadow Knight had already seen through his intentions. He had to admit that he had underestimated the Shadow Knight's abilities and his judgment, and he could only glare at the Shadow Knight angrily and keep the confrontation in order to find another chance.
At this moment, on the shore, the mage's two companions, the second-class heavy armor warrior from the left battalion of the knight's garrison, had already joined the other shadow knight. The two samurai jumped to the ground, one in front of the other, one on the left and one on the right, very tacitly cooperating with the offensive and defensive momentum, waving the cold broadsword in their hands and slashing towards the shadow knight's first and last song, but I saw that the shadow knight lightly pulled the frost wolf, and retreated a few steps away, making the heavy armor samurai's stabbing attack miss, and then just landed on the ground and kicked the ground, the frost wolf fell to the ground towards the two samurai who had lost their guard and threw at the arrow, and before the samurai could retract the slashing momentum that had just fallen to set up a block, he had already flipped the two of them to the ground, and rolled a few times before they got up in embarrassment。 Immediately after, the Shadow Knight flashed his black cold iron sword and rushed towards the two samurai who had just set up their defenses. The two samurai stared at the comer, left and right, with their horizontal swords in front, and they cooperated very tacitly, without giving the slightest defensive gap. Just as the Shadow Knight rushed in front of him, the two samurai came at the same time with a whirlwind slash, one of them twisted on the spot and spun outwards and backwards, and then slashed horizontally in front of him with a sword. This move can not only dodge the sword that attacks in a narrow gap of half a body position in a critical moment, but also can borrow the huge power and speed generated by the twisting of the body to give a fatal blow to the enemy who has lost his position.
However, in the shadow of the sword and sword, only two extremely fast cold lights were seen crossing the Shadow Knight's body, as if the Shadow Knight had been cut into three pieces. The samurai landed on the ground, but their faces were terrified, for it was clear that what they had slashed was nothing more than the afterimage of that moment. The afterimage disappeared into the night in an instant, but the real body had already flashed behind the samurai. As soon as the two warriors turned around, their throats were cut off by an extremely sharp sword qi, their neck bones were broken, and they fell to the ground in response. The Shadow Knight walked over to the fallen samurai, gently picked up the fallen staff with the tip of his sword, and threw it into the hands of the Shadow Knight who was standing on the surface of the water confronting the blue-robed mage. It can be seen that the one in front of the mage is the leader of the two Shadow Knights.
The mage guards shuddered as they witnessed the slaughter, the Shadow Knight's unparalleled agility and ability to kill with effortlessness, knowing that there was no escape today.
"What exactly are you here for!?" the mage guard asked loudly, quietly gathering internal strength.
"Originally, I only came to find the lost talisman, and I didn't intend to reveal my whereabouts, but now that you have seen it, you can only make you dead. The Shadow Knight snorted, looking at the mage in front of him and his fellow mages who had been wounded.
"Then give it a try!" the mage gritted his teeth and roared, and before he could finish speaking, he had already slashed at the Shadow Knight in front of him. Two cold rays of light flew straight towards the Shadow Knight's front door, and then threw out a huge cloud of blue qi, like a huge qi sword coming towards him. The Shadow Knight sneered, "Again." Immediately pulled the frost wolf a horizontal leap, flashed two killing moves one after another, and landed on the reef on the side, the frost wolf just landed on the back leg kick, and in a blink of an eye came to the mage, a claw slapped on the mage's chest, the mage flew into the air, before the mage landed, the shadow knight had jumped away from the wolf's back, holding the frost sword with both hands, falling from the sky, a sword pierced the mage's chest, and blood splashed all over his body. He then drew his frost sword and kicked the mage's corpse into the vast sea, and with a thud the mage sank forever into the depths of the sea.
Then he turned and walked towards the only remaining mage on the reef, who was mortally wounded, and with a wave of his sword, he slashed the mage's throat, and then he picked up the dead mage and threw it in the same direction, leaving another body to sink in the sea. At this time, he looked down at the staff in his hand, and recognized that this was an extremely unusual treasure, and faintly felt the huge unknown ability contained in the staff.
"Such a second-rate mage actually has such a powerful magic weapon, but unfortunately, it is a pity that the ability is not enough. The Shadow Knight sighed inwardly, then tucked his staff behind his back along with the Frost Sword.
"Dispose of what's on the shore and don't let anyone find out. He shouted again to his companions on the shore.
"Yes. The companion agreed, hunched the two warrior bodies on the wolf's back, and then summoned the frost wolf to leap into the depths of the sea, throwing the bodies of the two warriors into the rough sea.
Two figures flashed on the dark sea, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. In the misty night, the waves are rolling, the waves are turbulent, the sea and the beach are back to the previous silence, and the layers of waves seem to roll from the distant dark world, surging up the reef, rushing onto the beach, and then falling rapidly, and so on, as if the sea is sleeping in this reckless night. The fishing village in the distance is also wrapped in the silence of the night, and in the distance is the black mountain shadow that stretches for thousands of miles.
It's as if nothing had happened.
Luo Yin and Liu Qin'er, who were hidden behind the dark rocks in the distance, were already pale at the moment, their blue lips were trembling with excessive nervousness and fear, and no one spoke, and no one could say a word. Only the pounding sound of their hearts filled their respective cavities, and they witnessed the whole process of a slaughter, and for the first time the intense oppression and fear of death was so real and direct before their eyes, that they did not even know how to adjust their breathing, nor how to force themselves to accept the fact.
Luo Yin even felt that what was just a nightmare just now, and now that the dream had woken up, nothing had happened. Believe it or not, otherwise why would there be no trace left on this tranquil seaside? As if he suddenly realized something, he quickly reached into his coat and took out the octagonal stone tablet, which no longer shone at this time, and was as ordinary as a dull stone.
Finally, Luo Yin forced himself to settle down, and they had to hurry back to the village so that their family could not find out about their disappearance. Luo Yin worked hard to cheer up his spirits, picked up Liu Qin'er, who was still weak and weak, and his body was a little cold, waded ashore, and then staggered all the way back to the village and came to the door of Liu Qin'er's house. Fortunately, it was not dawn at the moment, and no one noticed Liu Qin'er's slipping, and everyone was still asleep.
"Just stay at home and recuperate these days, and don't run around. Luo Yin whispered to Liu Qin'er on his shoulder.
"Hmm. Liu Qin'er nodded, climbed down from Luoyin's back, leaned against the wall, quietly opened the door, and entered the house with a cat. Before entering the house, she seemed to remember something, turned her head and glanced at the back of Luo Yin, who had left, waved her hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Luo Yin walked back alone, and suddenly felt a little relieved, and he didn't know why. He looked at the waves in the distance, kicking the small stones in the sand, and his mind was completely calm, that is, he didn't think about the stone tablet and the staff, nor did he think about the killing just now, but the gentle and quiet face of Liu Qin'er when he leaned on his chest kept appearing in front of him.
Returning to the window outside his bedroom, Luo Yin jumped lightly, held the window frame with both hands, and a silent cat climbed over the wall and entered the house, hurriedly changed out of his soaked clothes, put on a pair of clean pants, lay on the bed, stared at the roof beams in the dark, and soon the heavy sleepiness rolled in, and he couldn't stop it. In another room, Falling Water Han rolled over, and the sleepless wait was finally over, he yawned a long time, and faced the wall sideways, finally able to sleep peacefully.
In the early morning of the next day, news of the disappearance of the four night guards had spread throughout the village. Young and old are speculating and discussing, and an atmosphere of unease spreads through the village, and everyone is at risk.
Lu Tieshou rushed to the house of the village chief Liu Changsheng early in the morning with a few guards, called a few fishermen to borrow a fishing boat, and arranged for these guards to go to sea together to find the missing guards.
"Village Chief, it seems that this matter is not trivial, murders have occurred one after another, presumably the murderer is still lurking near this fishing village, if it is really a Shadow Knight, then the entire Jialan Peninsula is in danger. "Deer Tetsurate.
"Well, it's a critical situation, and it's beyond our guesses. Liu Changsheng nodded, twisted his beard and said, "Iron hand, quickly send people to send letters to all villages and towns to inform them of the danger, and we must strengthen our vigilance day and night." ”
"Yes, I'll arrange it. After finishing speaking, Lu Tieshou hurried out the door.
Only Liu Lingkong and Liu Changsheng, father and son, were left sitting opposite each other in the lobby. Liu Lingkong's face was grim, his brows were tightly locked, and he seemed to be still pondering.
"If it's the Shadow Knights, then what is the purpose of their lurking here? Our fishing village, located on the southern edge of the Dawning Continent, has no treasure and is not an important town, but there are only a few fishermen, what is it that attracts the Shesheng clan to take the risk of coming?" Liu Lingkong muttered to himself with some confusion.
"I'm afraid it has something to do with a legend that has been circulating for a long time......," Liu Changsheng sighed and said.
"Legend?" Liu said in confusion.
Liu Changsheng was about to answer, when he suddenly saw the girl who was in charge of housework on weekdays, ran in, sweating lightly, and urged: "Village Chief, Lord Liu, it's not good, Miss has a high fever." ”
"Have you called Doctor Zhang?" Liu Changsheng hurriedly said.
"I have already sent the scholar to call, and the young grandmother is accompanying the young lady at the moment. The girl returned.
When Liu Lingkong heard this, he was taken aback, and ran out of the lobby first, going straight to Liu Qin'er's boudoir. Liu Changsheng's script was slow, but he was very anxious in his heart, so he staggered and went straight to Liu Qin'er's room with the help of the girl.
When she came to Liu Qin'er's room, Liu Qin'er's mother, Nalan, was sitting on the edge of the bed, changing the cold towel on Liu Qin'er's forehead. Seeing Liu Lingkong hurriedly stepping into the door, he got up and gave up his seat to him. Liu Lingkong sat down, took Liu Qin'er's hand, touched her forehead, only felt that it was very hot, and saw that her face and lips were pale, her eyes were bruised, her consciousness was already a little confused, and cold sweat broke out between her temples from time to time, and she was distressed for a while, and she was even more anxious.
It wasn't long before Dr. Zhang arrived. Liu Lingkong hurriedly gave up his seat and asked the girl to hurry up and watch the tea.
Doctor Zhang waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, let's take a look at Qin'er's illness first." After saying that, he approached Liu Qin'er to look at his face, and then picked up Liu Qin'er's hand and put it in the palm of his hand to check the pulse.
After diagnosing for a while, Doctor Zhang frowned slightly, the general situation was already clear in his chest, and he also knew what to prescribe, but a few doubts floated in his heart, and his heart said strangely, why there were traces of internal injuries, and he faintly felt that he was injured by the blue qi of his own clan. was in doubt, and just wanted to open his mouth to explain his illness, but he caught a glimpse of Liu Qin'er secretly glaring at him, a pleading attitude. Liu Qin'er has studied with Dr. Zhang since she was a child, and is deeply loved by Dr. Zhang, just like her daughter, how can he not know her thoughts, and expect that she must have hidden feelings. Doctor Zhang straightened up slightly, turned his head to the people in the room:
"Presumably it is the child who is greedy for fun, caught a cold in the water, and the weather has been somewhat fickle in the autumn recently, it is inevitable that the body is weak and susceptible, although the fever is bad, but there is no serious illness, I prescribe a few pairs of medicines, and call the girl to serve and drink a bowl first, and the fever should subside in the afternoon, and tomorrow I will prescribe a pair of body weakness conditioning agents, take it with warm water in the morning and evening, and within two or three days, Qin'er can recover. ”
When Liu Changsheng and Liu Lingkong heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Nalan continued to accompany Liu Qin'er, and Liu Changsheng and Liu Lingkong sent Doctor Zhang out of the door.
