Chapter 127: Who Are You?
"Who the hell are you?" Lukka was really surprised this time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
Taylor methodically raised the teacup, took a sip, seemed not very satisfied with the taste, took out two pieces of sugar from the sugar jar next to him and threw them into the teacup, and then replied slowly:
"I, Noah Taylor, President of the Golden Deer Chamber of Commerce, Archon of the June Alliance. Didn't you already know that?"
"The Taylor I've seen doesn't have the best eyes you have. Luca said that Taylor had a bad eye two months ago, when his gray eyes were completely presbyopia.
"My eyes have gotten better, and it has nothing to do with the contract between us, right?" Taylor stirred the teacup with a spoon a few times, and his voice suddenly became louder, "Or did you not intend to give me the 'power of illusion' at all?"
Lukka really didn't plan to give it, you know, that power has already been fused in his spiritual starry sky, if he really wants to forcibly strip it away, God knows how much it will affect him, and the soul shattering may be light.
"You're right, the contract doesn't say I have to give this thing to you. Lukka said as he stood up, reaching out and taking off the staff from his back.
Looking at Taylor's posture, his 125,000 silver coins will definitely not be available today, so it is better to flash people quickly, and turn around and make up for the losses from other places - anyway, the sea is full of merchant ships with golden deer flags. Well, how many times more, how can the "Crimson Shadow" be so easy to fool?
"One yard to one yard," Taylor said, taking a sip of his tea, "and I'll pay you the silver in the contract." However, you must stay here today. β
"Otherwise?"
"Otherwise, we'll have to see if a few dead people still need those silver coins!" Taylor said, placing the teacup heavily on the table.
Lukka kept an eye on Taylor's movements, and immediately reacted.
A sharp sword suddenly coalesced above Taylor's head, a rainbow of light flashing on the blade.
The Shadow Weapon is a magic that can summon an illusory weapon. Well, "illusory" means that it can't do actual damage.
But on some occasions, such as now, Lukka didn't really want to split the old man on the other side in half, but just used it to make the guards outside the door dare not act rashly, and this illusion magic could come in handy.
Originally, this magic had a shortcoming, the summoned phantom weapon would always be followed by a black mist, as long as you were not blind or stupid, you could always see the flaws after a few more glances. But now, strengthened by the "power of illusion" absorbed by Luca, this illusory weapon hung in the air shiningly, except for the rainbow light shining on it, it was completely indistinguishable from a real long sword.
It's a real time. Lukka said to himself, especially as he heard a series of messy footsteps in the hallway behind him.
The door slammed open, and instead of looking back, Lukka struck his attention to control the Shadow weapon, pointing the tip of the longsword at Taylor's throat.
"If you don't want to hurt your consul, just stay honest!" he shouted.
There was no imaginary exclamation from the guards behind him, but a childish voice.
"Is this old man an enemy?" the lightning on Thea's fingertips was already eager to try.
"Not an enemy, but he owes money and doesn't give it. Luca replied.
"Isn't that an enemy?" Thea raised her hand, and lightning was about to pop out.
"Wait, don't do it yet!" Mores rushed through the door. The knight's armor on his body has long been thrown away, only wearing thin clothes and trousers, and the long sword and shield are not in his hand, at first glance, he looks like he has just run out of prison, fortunately, the jailers of the alliance are polite to the knight lord, and Mores's state is not too bad, but he is not equipped.
"I'm not going to kill him, but since you've escaped, go back to the ship!" Lukka said as he walked out.
But Mores didn't move, but stared at Taylor, who was still leisurely drinking tea, and said for a long time: "You are not Taylor." β
He was all too familiar with Taylor.
Before the age of fourteen, Mores had a father, but he never saw anyone for many years. After the age of fourteen, he lost his father, but he had an extra guardian who worried about his studies and future every day.
Taylor in front of him, although his appearance and movements are impeccable, his eyes are completely different, and his original cunning and scheming have completely turned into violence and greed.
"Don't be so sure, kid. Taylor could still laugh at this time, "Remember Julie that summer?"
Mores was stunned. In the summer of sixteen, he gave away the first bouquet of roses in his life, and of course, like most of the old days, that girl and that time have long since disappeared from his life and become a distant memory. And this memory, except for Taylor, he has never shared with anyone.
Crete's voice came from beside the empty wall: "He is Taylor himself." β
"What do you say?" Lukka knew that Crete had always been unhurried, but this time it was also slow to reach new heights.
"Hmm...... I didn't see it at first," Crete replied, "and there was something on him that was interfering with my vision." β
"That's the point, isn't it?" Luka's voice quickened, even Crete's eyesight could interfere, it would definitely not be a force that could be solved simply.
He looked at the completely lethal shadow weapon, shook his head and dismantled the spell, and began to silently chant the spell of the vertigo spell.
Ollie's hand never left the hilt of his sword, and he stood behind Lukka with his greatsword raised, guarding against the Alliance soldiers who might appear at any moment.
When this spell is in effect, there shouldn't be any sound at all.
But when Lukka's spell effect hits Taylor, there is a deafening loud bang. Everyone covered their ears involuntarily, and the invisibility effects of Crete and Nora were completely ineffective in the sound.
Taylor seemed to have an invisible shield on his body, and the effect of the stun technique was originally invisible, but when he touched this shield, it instantly condensed into a gray ball of magical energy, and then was bounced away by a huge force and flew towards Luca.
Luca's reaction speed was certainly not as fast as Ollie's, who exercised every day, but the slightest disturbance of magic would make him feel it immediately, so when the gray mass was still far away, he grabbed Ollie and squatted on the ground.
The figurative vertigo flew just above the two of them, rushing towards the open door.
"I've found the weapons and the armor, and how did this stealth fail, you're inβ" Daniel had just entered the door with a large pile of equipment in his hand, when he was hit head-on by the oncoming magic.
