Chapter 6: The Night Master
At this time, the door of the inn was suddenly pushed open, and more than a dozen people in black robes walked in, and the back of the robes was dotted with a little starlight, arranged according to the position of the stars in the sky. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info There is a person with seven stars arranged by the Big Dipper on his robe, while the rest of the people are five stars in a straight line. Surprisingly, it was raining heavily outside, but there was not a trace of rain on their bodies.
Seeing them, the boastful young man's face suddenly changed drastically, and he shrank in the corner and did not dare to speak again.
The shopkeeper hurriedly ran over to greet them, served tea and poured water, and did not dare to slack off. The people in the store also felt that these dozen or so people were extraordinary, and they were all silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely dull.
The dozen or so people in robes also ignored it, just drinking tea and eating.
For some reason, the people in the store wanted them to leave as soon as they were full. But it backfired, and they ate very slowly, as if they were deliberately trying to delay time. At this time, the rain outside is getting heavier and heavier, and it will not stop for a short time, and the streets outside are almost full of rivers, even if they finish eating, they will not necessarily leave.
The white-bearded old man suddenly asked loudly, "Then did those holy magicians see you at that time?" When he asked, although his eyes glanced at the dozen or so mysterious people who had just entered from time to time, it was the young man who was asking. But as if he hadn't heard, the young man curled up on the stool, not daring to lift his head.
Seeing that he didn't answer, the old man couldn't help it. Besides, the matter of the Holy Magician is not his turn to be studied by an old man. But seeing that he was so afraid of these black-robed people, even a fool could guess the identity of these people. "Do you really see a mist master heading east?" the man in the seven-star robe suddenly spoke, his eyes staring straight at the shivering boy in the corner. Hearing the other party ask himself, he obviously trembled all over, looked up slightly, the other party's eyes seemed to be able to shoot light, even if he was an ordinary person, he clearly felt a strong killing intent.
"I'll ask again, you'd better answer my words. The man in the seven-star robe said, "Do you really see a mist master going east?"
The young man did not dare to look at him again, lowered his head and clenched his hands, and replied in a slur manner, "Yes...... I'm ...... ...... for yourself Seeing. ”
The man in the seven-star robe listened to his answer, turned back to the people who came with him, and said, "Eat quickly, it's time to act." ”
Several other people nodded at the same time, and put down the dishes and chopsticks in their hands together, and there was a long black knife in their hands. They looked around, their eyes swept over everyone in the hall, and there was a strange expression on their faces, like the excitement of a predator when he saw his prey.
Even a fool could see that danger was coming, and the hall was suddenly in chaos, tables and stools were overturned by the panicked crowd, and the sound of broken dishes was incessant, mixed with the screams of fear.
However, the door of the inn could not be opened, and looking through the window lattice, it was already dark outside. But if you look closely, it is not the darkness of the night, but a pure, frightening blackness.
In the eyes of those robed men, these people were already toys in their hands, and the killing could start at any time.
With a bang, the door was slammed open, and five or six young men with long flowing hair rushed in from outside, they were also dressed in robes, but not the same ones with stars on the back. Their robes were silver, and they looked very dazzling with an auspicious cloud on the back that seemed to be fluttering at any time.
After the door was broken, the inside of the store was brighter, and the outside was not as dark as they had just seen, the dark clouds had dispersed, the sky was much brighter, and the temperature was warming. The people in the shop poured out like water, and they didn't have the heart to care about it at this time.
The young man standing at the front stretched out his hand, and a thick mist slowly drifted over, gradually condensing into a sword. He pointed at the other party and said angrily: "Is it so despicable and filthy for you saint magicians in Night City, not to mention attacking my Fog City for no reason, you even sneaked to the rear to kill ordinary people. ”
The man in the seven-star robe sneered: "Since ancient times, the victory of any war is not piled up with life, as long as the victory can be achieved, what is the point of killing a few people." ”
His words caused the other young people to be indignant, and they wanted to immediately stab them to death under their fog swords. But at this time, there is a huge disparity between us and the enemy in terms of both numbers and strength, and if we make a rash move, it is very likely that we will all die here.
The young man pulled a sword flower, and the fog sword in his hand really slowly dispersed, slowly floating outside, and was instantly swallowed by the heavy rain. He looked at the other party coldly, "Aido, you are also a high-level night master, if it is spread that you actually use such indiscriminate means to win the war, I am afraid that the holy magicians of the Holy Light City will not let you go, right?"
The man in the seven-star robe laughed when he heard this, "What's the use of fame, when did we Night Masters have a reputation in this land?" Speaking of holy magicians, everyone thinks about the most powerful people, how can we have a share of small characters, but so what, the powerful Fog City has not been defeated by our weak Night City, what can you often talk about Fog Masters do." ”
The slightly shorter fog master couldn't stand the other party's provocation, and with a finger of the fog sword in his hand, he stabbed at the other party. Aido had already prepared, and a dark shield shaped in front of him quickly formed, and after the fog sword pierced into the darkness, it was as if it had pierced into a whirlpool, and even people were sucked in. The other mist masters were also taken aback when they saw this situation, and they all wanted to step forward to save people, but they were all stopped by the young man who spoke before, "Don't get close to that darkness, the other party is a high-level saint magician, and his strength is much higher than ours, so we can't fight with it." ”
Aido sneered: "Why, I watched my companion die, but I didn't want to save it, right?" As he spoke, he placed his hand on the darkness, and the darkness began to widen, covering the entire hall in a short time. The Mist Masters were forced to retreat outside, and in the face of a strong enemy, they did not even dare to use holy magic to avoid the rain. Aido sneered again: "I originally thought that your strength was very strong, but unfortunately I overestimated you too much, so ...... Together with this town, wait for the Grim Reaper to come in endless darkness. ”
The speed at which the darkness spread was noticeably faster, and the foggers continued to conjure up fog to resist it, but they were all swallowed up by the darkness in an instant.
"What I hate the most is this kind of sorcerer who has no ability but thinks he is great. ”
The darkness suddenly stopped expanding, and the foggers looked at the huge black hole in front of them in horror, like the hungry wolf's mouth when it saw its prey, and at this time they were all prey waiting to be devoured, and they didn't even have the strength to resist. They were soaked in cold sweat all over. It wasn't from any of them, it wasn't from Ador, and it wasn't like the voice of the other Night Masters. They all glanced around to see who was here, and it was clear that this man could stop Aido.
Aido tried to unleash the power of holy magic, wanting to continue to expand the dark area, but soon fear took root in his heart, and quickly expanded, and the power he released was all gone, as if there was another more terrible black hole in the dark vortex he created, absorbing all the power he released unconsciously. He asked in horror, "Who is it?"
"Guess?"
It has been more than forty years since Aido began to study sacred arts, and he has participated in countless battles and duels, large and small, and although he has won and lost, he has won the respect of his opponents. But this time, the other party's answer made him a little confused, and of course he felt more ashamed.
Who would ask their opponent to guess their name on the battlefield?
Aido couldn't help but be furious, "Who the hell are you?"
A finger-thick light pierced straight into the darkness, and the darkness created by Aido was constantly swallowed by this light, until the last bit of darkness disappeared, and the fog master who had been sucked into the darkness before also fell out, he was obviously still very afraid, and the fog sword in his hand was still chopping and chopping, until he found that he had escaped from danger, he let out a long sigh of relief and collapsed directly to the ground.
The destruction of Aido's dark array, and the fact that his opponent was still using light, terrified all the sorcerers present. Fighting against the Holy Light Master is not something that anyone dares to do, and the strength of this Holy Light Master is much higher than Aido. If the other party was a high-level Holy Light Master, even if they joined forces, these Night Masters would never be opponents.
"Why, with this bit of strength, I'm very disappointed. ”
Aido's face was like ashes, and he looked coldly at the Mist Masters in front of him, and the voice came from behind them, "Did the Holy Light Master come to help Fog City so soon, it seems that my Night City is doomed to fail again this time." ”
"You're wrong. ”
The Mist Masters also subconsciously turned their heads, and finally saw the Holy Light Master who had saved their lives at this critical moment but made them feel terrified in their hearts. He was draped in a dark red robe, with a huge hood that concealed his face, and a thin faint halo of light could be seen on closer inspection. With his hands behind his back, he slowly raised his head and said, "I am not a Holy Light Master, or I am no longer a Holy Light Master. ”
Although he looked up, the halo kept flickering slightly, and no one else could see his face. The robes he wore weren't of the type of sorcerers of any kind, and they couldn't guess his identity at all.
He slowly removed his hood, and it turned out to be Ye Lingxin.
The moment he saw his face clearly, the young mist master from before suddenly knelt down, and immediately burst into tears, so excited that he couldn't say a word. Everyone else looked at him in amazement, a little confused. He hurriedly yelled at the other mist masters, "Kneel, kneel." ”
Ye Lingxin was also a little surprised, with a wave of his hand, the others just bent their knees, as if they were supported by something, and they couldn't continue to kneel. Ye Lingxin hurriedly pulled up the mist master who was kneeling on the ground and said, "There is no need to do this. ”
The young mist master was still very excited, and said sadly: "It's great that you are still alive, please, save the fog city, save our Holy Emperor." ”
