Chapter 101: A Sharp Turn
In the room, the tension that was on the verge of tension immediately fell into a suffocating stasis at the priest's voice. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The two church knights were not stupid either, and when they found that the second-level mage in front of them didn't take them seriously at all, they grabbed their spell books in their left hands, and looked like fearless outlaws who would turn their faces with you at any time.
"Such an arrogant attitude, ignoring the majesty and power of the Church, even if it has nothing to do with the two accidents last night, this mage of unknown origin Rez must be immediately put on the list of key surveillance. β
The priest groaned, instinctively sensing the danger, thinking that if he did it later, the other party would not give in, and would surely fight desperately.
As a mid-level and high-ranking pastor of the Vigilant Eye Church, in order to maintain the ruling order and maintain the status of the church, he does not care about bloodshed, but the fearless sacrifice cannot be his turn.
"Maybe the test just now is a little offensive, after all, everyone has their own little secrets, even me. I believe that the pure aura of order in Your Excellency is definitely not the result of a disguise with magic, and if you can give me a reasonable explanation, then I can treat the lie test just now as if it never happened. β
Lu Bin's face gradually turned from gloomy to cloudy, he was ready to fight at any time, and the signal was the moment the knight approached and tried to capture.
"I didn't expect this pastor's figure to be so soft. I could feel his hesitation, and if I were a normal person, they would definitely do it. It's a shame that I'm a spellcaster, and a plane lord with my own half-plane and legions of minions. β
Wanting a reasonable explanation, Lu Bin handed a "you know" look to the aristocratic girl behind him, Nina Wild couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that there was no immediate fight, and then saw the eyes of "Lord Rez", and immediately nodded lightly.
Her mind is full of the survival wisdom of all kinds of nobles, and she has at least three ways to deal with the situation that is about to rush off the cliff, and she decisively chooses the trick that best serves her interests.
"I'm so sorry, friends of the Church in Blackwater, why Lord Reze didn't tell the truth...... He was with me last night. β
The priest's expression was slightly stunned, and then he glanced at the noble girl with a calm face and no pretentiousness, and at the same time glanced at the milky white ball of light in the guardian knight's hand, detecting that the lie did not move at all.
"She's telling the truth...... No, concealing some of the facts and misinterpreting the meaning of one's words can bypass the detection of divine magic. What a smart kid!"
Lu Bin squinted his eyes and saw the middle-aged pastor's forehead slightly, his face was as flat as a normal person, and he couldn't see what he was thinking at all.
"This old fox! knew that Nina Wild was telling a true lie, but he didn't take it seriously. I smell conspiracy. β
The priest's kind eyes fell on the noble girl: "Really, you are not lying! The young man is in good health, but he should also restrain his desires. β
Then he turned to "Mage Rez" and bowed slightly apologetically: "I'm very sorry! Since I didn't tell the truth for personal reasons, I have to ask your Excellency for forgiveness." β
Lu Bin stretched out his hand to help: "No need! If I had told the truth from the beginning, the situation might not have been so bad as to be so tense." β
The pastor's heart sank: "This young spell caster is very sincere, dares to say anything, and does not seem to be very clear about the power and influence of the church. β
"Last night's incident involved the retaliation of the dark forces, in recent times, in order to stabilize the situation, Blackwater Town will take emergency measures, and friction and conflict in a small area will definitely be inevitable, I hope we can coexist peacefully. β
Lu Bin's ears were already calloused by these official clichΓ©s, he waved his hand slightly, and repeatedly said that he would understand, and then he stepped aside, gave way to the open door, and reached out to extend the gesture of invitation, and personally sent the guardian knight and priest of the Vigilant Eye Church out of the tavern.
When their figures disappeared into another tavern next door, Lu Bin turned his head to look at Nina Wild behind him: "Pack up and leave immediately!"
The aristocratic maiden did not yet realize the seriousness of the matter, but despite some confusion in her heart, she resolutely obeyed the orders of "Lord Reze".
The two quickly returned to their respective rooms, Lu Bin's outfit was very simple, he had already packed up, and he was waiting for Nina Wilder next door.
"The priest knows very well that with his strength and two church knights, I am afraid that he will not be able to take me down, and when he is not absolutely sure, it is definitely a wise decision to choose the strategy of retreating first and then advancing. But in this way, it also gave me time to prepare for the back road, not to lay down this group of people, and really thought I was a soft persimmon, just pinch it as much as you want!"
The noise next door soon stopped, and Lu Bin estimated that the time was only half a minute, and he was satisfied with Nina Wild's efficiency.
At the same time, the streets of the center of Blackwater resounded from far and near with the sound of horses' hooves like war drums, ignoring the early risers of the town, and even knocking over a few vendors selling fresh vegetables along the street.
"It's coming! It's really fast. β
Lu Bin knew very well that the people outside were likely to come at him, so he immediately got up and walked out of the room, and came to the next door to Nina Wild, who was ready to attack inside, and his tone was as if he was giving an order.
"You leave the tavern immediately and go anywhere. I'll definitely look for you when I'm safely out. β
Only then did the aristocratic girl realize that the matter just now was not really over, and she wanted to stay and fight side by side with "Lord Rez", but Lu Bin saw Nina Wild's plan and shook her head very resolutely to refuse.
"Obedient! just tell a lie, and I'll be fine. β
The aristocratic girl knew that now was not the time to gossip, nodded heavily, turned around and wiped the back of her hand from the corner of her eye, and rushed down the stairs without looking back.
She knew that the nearby street must be enclosed, so instead of choosing the front door or the back door of the tavern, she stayed in the kitchen storage room, quietly waiting for the best time to leave.
Lu Bin returned to the room, snapped his fingers with his left hand, and the Book of the Traveling Mage appeared out of thin air, and with a move of his mind, he flipped to the "warehouse" by himself, he wanted to see how many cards were available in his inventory.
A newly appeared equipment card immediately attracted Lu Bin's attention, and then nodded in a sudden understanding, when he left the blacksmith workshop, he picked up the four damaged floating shields from the ground, which were originally magic items summoned by the "Hidden Priests", and activated creatures with blood grooves, but they were destroyed by his resentful spirits and arcane missiles one after another, and now they are all thrown into the place of bones.
"Floating Shield (Double), Level 3 armor equipment, made of demon skin, scales, hardness 9. When holding this shield, it activates it with gestures and spells, and the shield will fly through the air and hover slowly around the user as the core, protecting the user's safety, which will free the user's hands. β
"The effective time of the floating shield is ten minutes, and it costs 1 mana to continue its life. If you want to stop using it, you can end Auto-Protect by giving a command with the opposite gesture. If the user is immobile or dies, the floating shield will automatically fall to the ground, and if a hand is empty, it will return to the empty hand. β
Lu Bin did not hesitate to spend 1 mana to summon the floating shield from the "Elven Ruined Capital Elundelle" attached to the Bone Land. In an instant, two round shields the size of grinding discs flew out of the passage formed by the emerald green leaves, and came to his side, coiling alternately clockwise and counterclockwise.
"Hardness 9? Judging from the standard of Mithril hardness of ten, these two floating shields have a head, which is much stronger than the floating shield I destroyed at the beginning. The magic items summoned by the Hidden Priest are weaker than my defensive field walls, and even the negative energy claws and arcane missiles of the wraiths cannot withstand them. β
He immediately remembered the Wishing Tree planted in the Elven Wasteland of Elundelle, "Perhaps, the floating shield has been strengthened by this silver card...... That's for sure!"
At the same time, the Vigilant Eye Church has sealed off and surrounded the Alfalfa Tavern, a tavern that has some hidden connections to the underworld, and usually hides dirt and dirt, and the energetic members of the social organization who stay inside jump to their feet like a frying pan and react violently.
The "culprit" who caused all these changes, Lu Bin stayed quietly in his room, ignoring the strange figures who broke out of the window one after another, the gangster "red stick" who fought with the church knights, the lonely high-level thieves, assassins, dark brokers and other powerful people who were thieves.
From the Buried Bones and Elondell, the elven wasteland, he summoned the Dark Haze and the Tribulus Terrestris, respectively, the former of which was in a good state of reproduction and was made up of countless tiny mosquitoes and flies, and the latter was superior to the hidden and unique toxins that doubled the pain.
The owners and operators of the Alfalfa Tavern, fearing that their future business, especially the share of the gray area, would be severely reduced, could not hold back their preparations with the high-level theories of the Vigilant Eye Church, but they were soon forcibly withheld.
Lu Bin took all of this into his eyes, "I knew that these self-righteous defenders of order, even if there was no evidence, would come out unscrupulously. Okay, I'll leave you with an unforgettable lesson today!"
