Chapter 62: A Bloody Case Caused by a Pebble
In the past two or three years, although the major forces have been trying to maintain stability under their rule and constantly proclaim the good situation of the thriving human race, even those peasant village women who are immersed in farming can feel that some things are quietly changing.
Beneath that glossy exterior, there is an undercurrent.
The movement of troops became more and more frequent, and at the same time, as if overnight, many places were turned into forbidden places, and the nearby residents were forcibly evacuated, and the rulers of various places were mostly vague and did not give a clear explanation, and all kinds of rumors intensified as a result.
It is at such a special time that the people's desire for heroes is also getting stronger and stronger, when the unknown danger comes, everyone hopes that someone can stand up and turn the tide, and this patron saint of the Terran of Painter is undoubtedly a symbol of hope, so when he is invited to New Terte, he will enjoy such unprecedented courtesy.
However, in such an atmosphere of national celebration, there are discordant notes.
A small pebble that flew out of nowhere flew towards the figure admired by thousands of people on the carriage.
All this happened so suddenly, the people on the side of the road even reacted, the stone had already flown in front of Painter, and the First Royal Knights, the pride of the Empire, for some reason, could not stop the attack.
Fortunately, the force of the stone is not too strong, and it will not cause any fatal damage, but if it is hit, it is inevitable that it will be embarrassed.
The figure in the sun was still tilting its chin to accept the worship of the people, seemingly ignorant of the impending accident, but just as the pebble was about to hit his body, a miracle happened.
There seemed to be a transparent wall around Pace, and the pebble slammed into the invisible wall less than half a step away from him, unable to take another half step.
Before the exclamation of the onlookers could blurt out, it turned into admiration again.
However, in this admiration, there was a sense of danger in Barber's heart, and he didn't have time to think about it, and almost subconsciously blocked Williams in front of him.
The figure in the carriage gently raised the staff in his hand, and then saw the small pebble suspended in mid-air reversing backwards in the direction from which it was launched at a faster speed.
The stone shot into Barber's chest, and the terrifying momentum forced a groove in his knight's breastplate forged from black iron, and Barber couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood, but he endured the pain and didn't take a half step back.
And the knight who had been shouting about the tribulation and seeing the truth was still standing stupidly on the side at this time, and Xia Mi, who witnessed all this, was embarrassed to be slapped in the face at the speed of light, but after realizing what was happening, he immediately jumped up again, pointed to Paynt on the carriage and shouted, "You, you, you are assassinating! Do you know who we are?"
Before Pointe could speak, Williams's face sank first, "What's it called, isn't it shameful enough, this time it's our first move, since we have put a back swing on others, we will lie down honestly, and it will only be humiliating to entangle." ”
His Royal Highness the Third Prince must admit that he underestimated his opponent this time, he can see that it is powerful, the difficulty just now is not to intercept the stone, but to grasp the trajectory of the stone's flight after stopping the stone, and then use this to calculate the direction of the stone, which is exactly the same, and you must know that Pointe has not looked in this direction before this.
It seems that his previous idea was wrong, this young man who was pushed out by the Magician Association to support the shelf is not just a vase, the realm will not deceive people, and the one who can enter the ninth order will not be a fuel-efficient lamp, although Williams likes to fool around, but he is a very bachelor person, willing to gamble and lose, his expression is very calm, but those who really know him know that this just means that he has a real fire.
Although there were backs and goings, the time when Pointe came back was much more ruthless than the previous one that Williams threw out in a mischievous manner, and if Barber hadn't worn a cuirass, this pebble could have killed him on the spot.
And now seeing that Barber's face is pale, and he is obviously seriously injured, it is estimated that he will have to stay in bed for a month or two.
Williams was annoyed by the other's ruthlessness.
Barber didn't fall down at this time, just because he was afraid that Williams would be impulsive again, so seeing this, he hurriedly grabbed the latter's arm and persuaded, "Your Highness, the overall situation is important, take a step back and open the sky." ”
This time, however, Williams wanted to back down, but some people didn't want to stop there.
The figure in the carriage disappeared, but when it reappeared, it appeared directly in front of Williams, facing him.
Xia Mi's face changed, "Teleportation?!"
As soon as the Ninth Order Super Magister's signature skill teleported and appeared, it immediately caused another exclamation.
"The stone just now," the young man said, lightly, "did you lose it?"
Williams had a ridiculous feeling in his heart, the other party's appearance was obviously not big, and the fluff on his mouth had not yet receded, but the sense of oppression he brought was not inferior to that of the old antiques in the Wizards' Guild.
However, His Royal Highness the Third Prince is usually not in shape, but he is unexpectedly tough on matters of principle.
"I lost it, what's wrong, is His Majesty going to kill me to vent his anger?" Williams said as he opened his arms defiantly.
Painter's gaze fell on the badge on Williams' chest, and he raised an eyebrow, "Royals? ”
Williams smiled, he knew that the fact that he was at odds with the other party could no longer be changed, and he simply no longer concealed his hostility, "I heard that the Magicians Association has launched a castrated version of Rob, a vase-like guy, who is cheating everywhere in the name of the new patron saint of the human race, and it's you." His Royal Highness the Third Prince leaned close to the young man's ear and said softly, "I heard that this vase is quite expensive, be careful, don't break it." ”
Williams's then words were quite vicious, although Pointe's face was expressionless, but the white knuckles still betrayed the true thoughts in his heart, and the ninth-order super demon master, who was less than twenty years old, had a tense face, "Your Royal Highness, your father has paid a lot of money to invite me to New Terte, and the people here are eager to get my protection, if I turn around and leave now......"
"If you turn around and leave, you will lose the support of one-third of the entire human race, you idiot, are you going to change your name to be called the patron saint of the two-third?"
Painter finally couldn't maintain his self-cultivation anymore, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes, "In this case, I can only help Lehart VII take care of his son." ”
