Chapter 51: The Yellow Sparrow Follows
The flintlock pistol in the Knight Lord's hand looked no different from the one used by most pirates. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 But when he pulled the trigger, Lukka immediately realized that the pistol was not that simple.
The average flintlock pistol of this era was not only troublesome to load, but also not very powerful. With the heavy armor on Lukka and Daniel's bodies now, they can basically bounce those small projectiles away. Therefore, this weapon is at most used as a supplement to cold weapons, and occasional sneak attacks can probably have a little effect.
But this one, after the trigger was pulled, did not ignite the white smoke that is common after igniting black powder, and the sound was completely different.
Bang!
It was a louder and crisper sound than a regular flintlock pistol. Lukka even felt that the sound was close to the modern firearms he had heard in the movies before the time travel.
He immediately wanted to warn Daniel, and the ghost in the higher position was the target of this bullet.
But Luka's speed, of course, is not as fast as a bullet.
At the same time as the words "Daniel dodged" came out, the bullet had already hit. Without much effort, the small projectile entered through the middle of Daniel's breastplate, was slightly disturbed by the armor, and then came out of the armor behind it, nailed to the marble wall, and finally stopped.
Daniel shook for a moment, then lost his center of gravity and leaned against the railing next to him.
Before Lukka could make his next move, the Knight Lord picked up a second of the same gun from the table. It seems that although the gun has been improved in terms of gunpowder, it still has not crossed the technical threshold of only one shot after half a day of loading.
The second shot, naturally, was fired at Luca.
Although Lukka did remember a few spells in his mind now, with his bottom-out magic alone, especially the fact that he had used the "disguise technique" twice on the two girls in the morning, and had just reluctantly emitted a miniature fireball, coupled with being dragged down by the heavy armor on his body, Lukka had no possibility of casting spells again now.
However, he did not feel the huge impact of being hit by a bullet, but heard a loud "bell".
Daniel's golden scepter was raised just in time, just in the right way of the bullet's path.
"You're not ......" The knight lord on the other side was obviously more shocked than Luca.
Daniel turned slowly, the Knight Lord in front of him and Lukka behind him meeting their eyes - through the two hollows in front of and behind the armor.
For those who can transform into ghost forms at any time, the purpose of the bullet is probably only to carve a hollow pattern on the armor.
"The scepter won't break, will it?" Lukka asked worriedly, though it wasn't his own, this golden thing always caught the pirate's eye.
Daniel shook his head disdainfully, then walked to the cage and grabbed the railing with both hands.
Just when Lukka thought he was going to use brute force to pull the railing away, Daniel stopped motionless.
A few seconds later, from the top of the cage, a light blue stream identical to the inscription on the gate descended, gathered around Daniel's hands, circled for a while, and then returned.
The cage slowly rose as it did when it was lowered, with a screeching sound of metal scraping, and Lukka and Daniel regained their freedom.
The knight lord on the opposite side paused for a moment and said, "I was still wondering just now, how did you pass through this layer of gates, but now I finally understand. It's just that the Empire's laboratory can even crack the power of knights, which is really unexpected!"
As he spoke, he stood up from behind his desk, holding his shield in his left hand and his sword in his right.
Daniel, who was half a head taller than him, also raised his scepter in both hands and stared straight at the other.
Even though there is a big difference in body shape, the weapons are a two-handed scepter and a one-handed sword and shield, but no matter which angle you look at, the movements of these two people are obviously indescribably linked.
The two sabre-rattling knights are still facing each other, and neither wants to be the first to reveal their power.
Daniel's strength is certainly not bad, but this afternoon he has already transformed into a ghost form twice, and although each time it is not long, it still has a lot of impact. Besides, if he is not on the sea, his power cannot be fully exerted.
Faced with two enemies of unknown strength, the knight lord cautiously chose to be on the defensive.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lukka quickly pulled off the armor on his body piece by piece. Finally shedding his heavy armor, he let out a sigh of relief. These armors were really not suitable for mages to wear, and under that kind of pressure, even a first-level miniature fireball would be more laborious to use than a third-level spell.
Okay, this two-on-one, even if you can't win a big victory, it's no problem to take the mana source and leave. Lukka finally put his mind at ease.
However, the numerical advantage he calculated did not last long.
The silence was shattered by the sound of footsteps, and a dozen sea knights streamed in through the gate. Their movements were methodical, and it seemed that they were ambushes that had been planted for a long time.
"Lord Mores, we're late!" said the captain, commanding his men to raise their weapons.
"It's not too late!" replied the knight lord Mores, "these two fellows took the main gate, and did not take the 'shortened' that was left for them. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to a small door next to him, apparently the best route for the intruder, and of course a trap that had been arranged.
"Huh, there's a shortcut? Lukka's mouth was full of confusion, and he was secretly anxious, although he was already proficient in several spells, he was subject to his empty magic reserves, and there was no way to deal with more than a dozen people at the same time.
He even missed the feeling of being completely unrestricted when using scrolls through blood magic. But Shut Up had already warned him that if he used that method again, all the efforts he had made to repair his soul would be in vain.
Suddenly, Lukka saw that the two last sea knights in the team seemed to shake slightly, and then, he smelled a scent similar to sandalwood in his nose.
The Knight Lord Mores was obviously aware of it as well, and he sneered and said, "Do you think this trick is useful? The Sea Knight is completely immune to this paralyzing poison gas!"
"Oh, are you sure?" said a hoarse voice. The source of the sound was not an open doorway, but a small door on the other side of the hall, the so-called "shortcut".
A tall man wrapped in black walked out of the door, and for a moment, Lukka saw what seemed to be falling from the sun-drenched window, but when he looked closely, he didn't notice anything unusual.
Then, another man of the same costume and a little shorter stature jumped in through the window and said to his companion, "It's done!"
"What is it done......" Mores did not finish his words, and suddenly it seemed that he had completely lost his strength, unable to support his weight and the weight of the armor on his body, and fell to one knee with a wheezing breath.
Even in this state, he didn't last long, and he fell to the ground unwillingly, completely incapacitated.
Not only him, but all the knights of the sea, even Daniel, fell to the ground.
Except for Luka, who had just cast an invisibility spell on himself.
