Chapter Seventy-Six: A Whirling Waltz

The first key point of the City of Innocence Visitor Guide is a key point that everyone who comes to the City of Innocence to have fun needs to keep in mind. As long as you follow the rules in the city of innocence, you will generally not encounter confrontation head-on, but once you encounter a fight between other people, you don't have to worry, you just need to find a place that is not in the way and stand against the wall, and you can enjoy a good show with confidence.

Therefore, when a corpse smashed through the door of the dance hall and fell onto the dance floor with the corpse, the hall was silent for three seconds, and no one reacted to what was happening, and no one even thought that in the hinterland of the unified gaming area, in such a tightly guarded place, someone would launch such a direct frontal attack. Three seconds later, when everyone realized what was happening, the guests on the dance floor quickly moved closer to the walls on both sides of the hall, and some of the female companions who were still screaming to show their weakness were also pulled away by their male companions, and soon there was no one in the center of the hall of nearly 10,000 square meters, only a few shoes lost by the owner were still telling about their misfortune.

"I'm sorry for the fright. Walking through the door of the ballroom, Pannis let go of Catherine's hand, stroked her chest and bowed, and said apologetically: "We just want to borrow a way to go upstairs to the meeting, I hope you don't mind." Right front. ”

Catherine drew her sword, and the knight's sword full of fighting spirit slashed horizontally to the right front, and under the slash, a figure appeared out of thin air on the path of the long sword, a human head flew high, and the remaining headless corpse still maintained a standing posture, blood spurted out from the neck half a meter high, and then sprinkled to the ground, forming a blood rain.

Retracting her sword, Catherine, although she did not have a gorgeous long dress, only a bloody scale armor, still made a curtsy gesture with both hands slightly lifting the hem of her skirt, and a gentle smile appeared on her face. This kind of ladylike smile that the aristocratic and wealthy people present are accustomed to seeing, against the background of the diffuse blood mist and the blood stains left on the cheeks, form a bewitching and strange beauty.

"To express the guilt in the hearts of both of us. Pannis's neck twisted, letting a dagger pass against his neck, and his body turned. Disappear in place like a thief. A few short screams rang out, and when Pannis reappeared in place, the hidden effect of the four thieves beside them disappeared, each clutching the wound on his throat that cracked like a mocking mouth. Turning in circles and falling outward. Pannisy dusted off his hands and continued as usual: "In order to make up for the inconvenience caused to everyone, how about we present a wonderful dance drama for everyone?"

"Heh, since you're so interested, why don't I accompany you. "Behind Pannis. Moore looked at the empty band. When Pannis's party broke in, the invited band had already taken refuge with the guests by the wall, and were looking curiously at this side: "I don't think they have the courage to continue accompaniment." But at the ball, you have to have someone to accompany you. ”

"In that case, I'll thank you in advance. Pannis was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Then, please come on stage." ”

Moore snorted lightly, and the magic shield of the legendary level on his body slammed outward, shaking several thieves and assassins who were not willing to approach him out of the stealth state at the same time, and the thieves who lost their stealth protection were hacked to death by Pannis and Catherine in the stumble, and the rest of the assassins who were in ambush no longer dared to approach this legendary level who was not ready to fight. He wouldn't be in the war anyway, so he might as well concentrate on eliminating the two people who claimed to be putting on a show.

"When!" Moore slowly sat down at the piano, his hands clapping on the keys at the same time, and a sharp pop came out of the piano. Moore nodded in satisfaction, his fingers darting on the keys, and a string of bright and cheerful notes flew out of the keys, forming a moving composition. The music feels like a spring in the mountains, and it lingers in everyone's ears.

"Salmengo waltz?" Catherine's eyebrows moved, and she looked at Pannis's face amusementingly: "Are you trying to ......"

"That's right. Pannis suddenly activated, spinning around Catherine. Pulling away a few sneaking enemies who were too close, and snatching two thin swords from the hands of the enemy, he stopped in front of Catherine, and bowed down very gracefully and stretched out his right hand: "Beautiful and brave young lady." I wonder if you can give me the glory and let me dance with you?"

"As you wish, my warrior. Catherine smiled, gently clasped Pannis's outstretched hand, and said gently, "I am grateful to be able to dance with Your Excellency." ”

Pannis duly handed over the rapier in his hand. The two held each other's hands, and the other two hands each held a thin sword and put their backhands behind their backs, and slowly walked onto the dance floor to the beat of the music prelude.

"Ding Dong Ding Ding, Ding Dong Ding Ding", the rhythm of the overture abruptly changed, the gently flowing stream suddenly increased its speed, turning into a beating and rushing mountain spring, and the rhythmic notes mischievously teased the hearts of every listener, making people rise up with an urge to dance to the beat of the music. As a result, Pannis and Catherine, who are the focus of attention, spun rapidly on the dance floor to the beat of the music, like a whirling storm, bringing nothing but death. Although they had never cooperated like this, the two of them understood each other as if they had practiced countless times, without hesitation, without pause, and in the midst of the rotation, the tip of the thin sword shimmered, and the tip of the sword tore through the air, making a sound like a cloth tearing. The two swords swung alternately, creating a waltz of blood and life.

"When. The round blade of the thin sword in Pannis's hand shook in the air, whipping like a whip against the sneaking dagger, not only opening the dagger, but exposing its owners from the shadows to the light. In the next moment, Catherine had already spun to Pannis's position, her thin sword carrying a gold-level fighting aura, and the sharpest edge bit the neck of every exposed person like a poisonous snake. The thieves who were lucky enough to avoid the bite of the tip of the thin sword didn't bother to look at the tragic situation of their companion's throat spurting blood, and just wanted to take a few steps back and re-enter the stealth state, but found that the two enemies in front of them had already approached them again with spinning dance steps, and the endless cutting of the tip of the sword continued to tear at the survivors' defenses, and a small dagger made it impossible for these survivors to stop the constant exchange and cycle of attacks between Pannis and Catherine, and they were soon broken through the defense line and turned into a corpse.

In the eyes of the crowd of onlookers, what they saw was Pannis and Catherine holding hands and spinning and dancing on the empty dance floor, often passing by a bloody arrow suddenly, or suddenly a person appeared out of thin air, and then was stabbed or cut into a bloody person by an additional attack, and finally was kicked to the side and died.

"Ding Dong Ding Ding", in the sound of music, the two gold-level assassins finally successfully approached the dead corner of the attack behind Pannis, but before they could launch an attack, Pannis suddenly raised his right hand high, Catherine was short, and spun to pass under Pannis's arm, and the two assassins were just hit in the chest by Catherine's shoulders wrapped in scale armor, and flew backwards screaming in the sound of bone cracking. With the force of the impact, Catherine quickly reversed spin, burrowing through Pannis's arm and stabbing two more swords.

On the bandstand, Moore looks up at the sky, his fingers beating at high speed on the keys. As a part-time bard, he can use the performance of music to help the performer's identified friendly targets. As the notes flowed, the magical energy continued to gather in Catherine and Pannis, raising the speed of their vindictive energy recovery to an astonishing height, and with this recovery speed, the two of them did not need to be stingy at all in the dance, and they could squander the vindictive energy in their bodies at will.

The thieves and assassins in ambush in the dance hall fell one by one, and the assassination force that had gathered together was very terrifying, and the enemies that were several times more numerous than now could only be silently eaten away in front of these assassins and thieves. But they were unfortunate to encounter Pannis today, in the eyes of the former demigods, they were as conspicuous as a beacon at night, and at this time, the difficulty of opening the shield in stealth became their Achilles' heel, and everyone in the stealth was almost defenseless by the unscrupulous attacks of Pannis and Catherine, but they could not counterattack accordingly.

To the beat of the music, Pannis and Catherine sometimes clasped their hands to each other, sometimes intertwined their arms tightly and embraced each other, immersed in the thrill of music, dancing and fighting, as if they had forgotten where they were, and only hoped that the music would never stop.

More and more wounded and dead collapsed on the ground, and the smell of blood in the hall became heavier. The blood flowing from more than fifty corpses soaked the ground, and in the end, when the foot stepped on some places, it could even splash blood.

"When!" Moore swiped his fingers across the keys, and a string of rising notes represented the end of the song. At the end of the song, Catherine's sword hung to the ground, her waist bent back, and she leaned back in the crook of Pennisto's arm holding her. The Pannith Rapier was hidden behind his back and his other hand rested on Catherine's waist in the standard pose at the end of the dance.

The remaining thieves in the hall had completely evacuated the dance floor and disappeared into the surrounding wall-mounted guests. As thieves of the shadow hand, it is their instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, although cruel orders are important, but they are never as important as their own lives, and after today, no one can be sure how everything will develop, leaving their lives and waiting for the results is the best choice.

So, when both sides were over, silence returned to the hall of the ball. Only the sparse applause of a few companions echoed through the hall.

"Wonderful performance. Moore clapped his hands and said, "It's a pity that these thieves have met you two." ”

"Thank you. Pannis nodded to Moore, looked back at Catherine and smiled, and the hands that had been clasped together were finally separated. "However, the dance is not over yet, and there is still one person waiting up there to join us in the show," said Pannis. No one seems ready to stop us now, so let's go up. (To be continued.) )
