Chapter 43: Mutiny (2)
Adarua sat outside the lab door basking in the sun, biting on a blade of grass in his mouth, bored.
The streets seemed to be bustling with people as they usually go, and people seemed to be talking loudly as they went.
A familiar neighbor walked by, and Adarua stopped him and asked.
"The lord of the city, Marquis Eli, has rebelled and arrested all the princesses, and many people have died in the Martial Demon Conference......"
When Adarua heard this, he immediately ran in the direction of the venue, and after just a few steps, he turned back again.
"Manda, Mia, wake up, Donner may be in danger, I'm going to check it out. Don't sleep yet, close the door to the lab, keep an eye on Richard and Kelly, and don't let them out...... No, you can't go, if you make any more trouble, I'll send you home!"
After instructing the two sisters, Adarua went out with confidence.
The one-hour limit is coming soon.
Thousands of teachers and students from the two colleges, in the choice between life and death, the vast majority chose to swear allegiance to the Triss family. Only a handful of people remained, including Donner, Wesley, Victor, Deves and Merkel.
Lucia had woken up from her coma, and in order to prepare for the unexpected, the lord of Eli had been controlling her with his own hands. Until the situation is fully controlled, any rope and guard will not be as effective as a level 3 mage who is close at hand.
Roger was also taken hostage and placed in Carl's custody.
Under the magic potion of the dwarves, Professor Victor and Dean Deveth had recovered most of them, but in order not to be exposed, Donner and Wesley still pretended to support them.
On the opposite side is a third-level magician, a knight whose strength is close to that of the head of Kaz (fourth-level knight Dairik), a first-level magician, maybe there are other back-ups; on his side, in addition to the professors of the magic academy who are seriously injured and have lost their combat effectiveness, there are also second-level and first-level magicians whose strength has been damaged, several first- and second-level knights, and the rest are at most magic apprentices and reserve knights......
Donner secretly compared the combat power of the two sides, and he couldn't see any chance at all, maybe in the end, he could only do the battle of the trapped beast, but he didn't know how much the hole cards he prepared in advance would have any effect.
Donner was not afraid of death, he once felt that he suddenly came into this world, and he might leave suddenly at any time. But after a long time and a lot of experience, there are concerns and responsibilities, nostalgia and reluctance.
He thought about Richard and Kelly, who should be safe under the dwarves' care.
There was no worries, so he let it go and fought hard, thinking of this, Donner suddenly felt a little more relaxed, and smiled at Wesley. The latter remained indifferent, and Donner didn't even know how he did it.
Just then, Idarua arrived.
"Eli, what the hell are you doing. "Dwarves don't like to beat around the bush.
"Master Ada. The city lord of Eli was also shocked when he saw the dwarf rushing into the field, and he couldn't help but tighten Lucia's hand, but it was only for a moment that he regained his composure, "What is happening here is a political event, if I remember correctly, you have no right to interfere." ”
"I don't care about politics, I only care about the safety of one friend. ”
"Your friend? Are you prepared to risk breaking your contract and take care of your personal affairs? Are you really sure you've been given this right?"
"Fart! You'd better shut up! Donner is a friend of the Far North, if you dare to touch a hair of his hair today, I can assure you that we will unconditionally support the Femon Empire in the next year, until they beat you to the ground!"
Eli City Lord's face became very ugly, he knew that Donna was the magic apprentice, and it didn't matter if he let him go, but on a day like today, he was forced to compromise, which was really unpleasant.
"Then please take this friend of yours with you. Eli City Lord said coldly.
Donner made an apologetic look at Idarua as he approached, and then shouted, "I'm going to challenge Carl!"
"An idiot who doesn't know what to do. The Lord of Eli secretly commented on Donner in his heart.
"Carl, don't think I don't know, it was the people you arranged to injure Richard and Kelly, and I want to avenge my brother!"
Adarua shook his head, he didn't expect Donner to be so impulsive, but since his reason was to avenge his brother, he had no reason to stop it.
Eli looked at Carl and asked slowly, "So Carl, are you up for the challenge?"
"Of course I do!" Karl's grim expression was much like that of his grandfather, Eli.
"If I win, can I let one of my friends go?"
"I'll talk about it if you win first!" Karl didn't wait for Eli's city lord to answer, he had already stepped into the open space in front of the city lord.
Donner whispered a few words to Wesley before walking over to Carl.
"Is this your weapon?" Karl asked, pointing to Donner's magic staff.
"Magic wand. ”
Karl cast an inquiring glance at the Lord of Eli. The latter nodded to Karl, he didn't feel any magic fluctuations on Donner's magic array, obviously he didn't have any magic arrays carved into it.
"So, we can use magic items?"
"Of course!"
Carl sneered secretly, he was going to use the magic scroll, who knew that Donner also took the initiative to find a good reason for him, what a fool.
In order to avoid accidents, Karl deliberately stood not far in front of the city lord of Eli. Donner didn't want to let it go, and stood directly in front of Carl, staring at each other fiercely.
Carl suddenly thought of Aldrich's death yesterday, and Donner's strange melee spell, and couldn't help but step back a little distance.
"Not alone this time......" Donner whispered an inexplicable word.
Lucia, who had been languishing by Eli with her mental power, suddenly had a light in her eyes, and only she knew that Donner was talking to herself.
Eli glanced at Karl and prepared to announce the start of the duel.
Donner's hands were slightly strained, and the magic wand was pushed to the shortest, confirming that a three-element ice spear was squeezed into the cavity at the front of the handle, and then pulling the handle back to the bottom, where a hole the size of a grain of rice was aimed at the palm of his hand.
Donner squats down slightly and makes a prep forward sprint.
At this moment, Wesley's hoarse shout was heard in the distance: "Captain Kaz!"
Donner didn't pause, twisted his waist and aimed his magic wand at the city lord of Eli, put the handle on his shoulder with a strange movement, and then activated the magic model that had been prepared, the moment the burst ice bead was embedded in the small hole in his palm, he rotated the handle, and the small hole was covered by the handle.
The City Lord of Eli was looking in Kaz's direction and didn't notice Donner's movements, and even if he did, he wouldn't care about such a small magic fluctuation.
Like Eli, everyone looked at Kaz when they heard Wesley's shout, but Kaz was still tied up strongly, and even he himself looked inexplicable, wondering why someone suddenly called his name.
Almost at the same time, there was a loud "boom" from the direction of the duel, and when people's attention was drawn to the sound, the end of Donner's strange magic wand was emitting green smoke, and in the direction the magic wand was pointing, Eli's head was only half left, and flesh and brains were flying everywhere.
Yes, the so-called magic wand that Donner has been holding in his hand is simply a heavy magic rifle, and after using Mithril materials at any cost, the magic power in the barrel has been multiplied. The power of the exploding ice beads became more violent, and the huge explosion power pushed the ice spear inside the magic wand to accelerate and accelerate, and finally rushed out of the cavity at the front of the magic wand at an incredible speed. The massive recoil slammed Donner's shoulders into pain.
With the assistance of mental power, it is too simple for magic apprentices who are accustomed to long-range magic to not need to estimate the parabola and directly aim with a gun. Not to mention facing an unsuspecting opponent at such a close distance.
The ice spear that was used as a bullet was so fast that Eli didn't have any time to react. And he had never seen such a weapon before, so it was impossible for him to consciously prepare in advance.
The result of all these conditions was that Eli, a powerful third-level magician, died at the hands of an enemy he didn't expect at the height of his spirits.
Almost everyone was stunned by what was happening in front of their eyes. And the biggest reaction was Carl, who was close at hand, he sat on the ground, his eyes were distracted, and all the strength of his body seemed to be drained - his grandfather, who was as powerful as a god, was actually killed by Donner.
It was too appalling for a magic apprentice to kill a third-level magician by leaping over - but it was soon thought that it was even deeper - that magic apprentice, he wasn't trying to challenge Carl at all, he was always coming for Eli, and Wesley's exclamation must have been arranged before he went on the field. He used the challenge Carl as a cover, paralyzing Eli's vigilance, and arranged for Wesley to respond, diverting Eli's attention, one ring after another, simply setting a trap, just waiting for Eli to take the bait.
And his powerful magic staff, why didn't even the city lord of Eli have any defenses against it? Could it be that the magic array on it was so well hidden?
After witnessing such a powerful blow from the wand, the onlookers were most concerned about whether it was a one-time magic effect or a magic item that could be used repeatedly.
"Follow me!Prepare the scroll!" Donner shot without pause, shouting at Lucia, before turning and walking towards Daric and Judy.
Pushing the handle, another ice spear was embedded, stretching the handle, bursting ice beads, spinning, boom, Judy fell to the ground in response, her abdomen was a blur of flesh and blood, at this moment, her face was not pain, but incomprehension and resentment.
She didn't understand why her father didn't notice the anomaly even when Donner's magic wand was so terrifying, and even before he was knocked down, he only felt a slight fluctuation in water magic.
She hated, hated that she finally despised this young man too much. She always thought that he could only be left and right by playing with people's hearts, and even after the incident was summoned abroad, she never thought that he could be so powerful.
The rest of the room was equally shocked that Donner's magic wand was reusable. How could a magic wand of this level spread to Middle-earth, and how could it appear in the hands of this young man.
Darek rushed forward like crazy.
"Scroll!" Donner shouted.
Lucia didn't have a problem this time, and unfolded the scroll in the direction that Derick was rushing from, and injected her mental power a little.
Boom, boom, the huge ice storm suppressed Darek in place, and the light of the fighting energy on his body flickered and dimmed.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wesley, Victor, and Deves had already rushed to Captain Katz's side and loosened the steel chains on his body.
As soon as the ice storm showed signs of dissipating, Kaz rushed in and punched Derrick. Derik, who had already consumed most of his fighting spirit by this third-level ice magic, no longer had the ability to parry, and was smashed away by a punch, and as soon as he landed, Kaz, who was approaching, was another punch. This time, Darek was backed to the ground, and was hit head-on in the lower abdomen by Kaz's angry iron fist, and immediately arched himself like a shrimp before he collapsed.
At this point, Eli was dead, Darick and Judy were seriously injured, and the situation was reversed in an instant.
Ever since Donner accepted the challenge, Idarua had been on his sidelines, and although he found that Donner was getting more and more angry with him, he really couldn't do anything about it. Even he was startled by the power of Donner's magic wand, and he wondered if he would have been able to cope with it if he hadn't prepared in advance. The answer is that he will probably suffer a minor injury, but Donner will never get a second shot. Considering that Donner is only a magic apprentice, this result is already too staggering.
The thousands of teachers and students who had just sworn allegiance to the Triss family were shocked and embarrassed, and of course they would not fulfill their promises, so they could only stay far away and wait for them to fall. Dean Devis walked to the front of the crowd, coughed a few times, and said vaguely: "What are you doing standing stupidly, hurry up and control the rest of the party." ”
There are always smart people who immediately understand what Deves meant: Standing so stupidly waiting for the fate of the princess, wouldn't he admit his guilt and force the princess to deal with it?
Thousands of men were immediately dispersed to capture the officials and sergeants under the command of the lord of Eli.
Seeing that Kaz was rescued and the overall situation was decided, Lucia suddenly hugged Donner, buried her head in the other party's chest, and cried loudly. Donner was at a loss for a while, so he could only pat the other party's back and comfort him softly: "It's okay, it's okay, I'll just say it, if you don't get along alone this time, you will definitely be fine." ”
Lucia listened to his words and felt even more aggrieved, raising her fist and smashing Donner's chest, but her other hand was still holding him.
Victor didn't think about avoiding suspicion at all, and even forgot that Lucia was a princess, walked up to take Donner's magic wand, and while looking at it, he asked, "Where did the magic wand come from?"
"I'll go back and explain to you slowly......" Donner replied as Lucia held him so hard he could barely move.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, your subordinates have been derelict in their duties and have frightened you. Kaz came up to Lucia, got down on one knee, leaned over and said.
Only then did Lucia stop crying, let go of Donner, and while helping Kaz up, she spoke: "Commander Kaz, those rebels under Eli's control ......"
"Rest assured, princess, there are no rebels at all, the day after you and Donner were kidnapped, my men have already taken my warrants and secretly monitored all the army generals in the three southern provinces, and Eli's orders cannot be conveyed at all. ”
"Then you ......," Lucia asked.
"I'm afraid that the madman will not be able to do you any good when he hears that the rebellion has failed. ”
......
"Hey, what about this idiot?" asked Wesley, pointing to Carl, who was slumped on the ground.
Donner heard this, took back the magic wand from Victor's hand, and walked up.
"I remember you told me to be on your own?" said Donner slowly, to Karl, who was blinded and didn't know if he was listening. "But you see, apart from family power and noble titles, when have you ever relied on yourself?"
Downer continued: "I just thought you were annoying, but you actually ...... Never mind...... Why do you say so much, you might as well die. ”
With a thud, Carl collapsed in a pool of blood, like a dead dog.
At this time, the sun has just risen overhead.
A rebellion that had been planned for six hundred years lasted only one morning before failing.
