Whoosh -

With Roger's loud shout, the dark golden arrow had already left his hand and shot into the darkness at a speed that was imperceptible to the naked eye, even faster than when this arrow came!

A muffled sound rang out from the darkness......

"High Knight?" Oliver, who was standing behind Roger, was startled when he heard Roger's words, he didn't expect that it would be a high knight who sneaked up on him!

In the continental realm, the rarity of high-level knights is no less than that of wizard apprentices.

In any case, he would never have imagined that at such a time, in such a deserted mountain wilderness, he would actually meet a high-ranking knight, and this high-ranking knight would brazenly attack him with a bow and arrow.

If it weren't for Luo Ming's rescue just now, he would probably have been shot in the head by the high-ranking knight hiding in the shadows, and he would have died under the arrow just now.

In fact, if the two of them set up a formation to face each other head-on, Oliver would never be so passive, you know, a middle-level wizard apprentice and a middle-level knight are not the same concept, just as a big knight and a real wizard are not the same level of characters, purely in terms of destructive power, he, a middle-level wizard apprentice, is definitely stronger than any high-level knight, there is no doubt about it.

But wizard apprentices are not real wizards after all, and most wizard apprentices are not much stronger than ordinary people in the case of defense, so it is not surprising that Oliver is killed even if he is attacked by a high-ranking knight when faced with a sneak attack.

Thinking of this, his face became more and more difficult to look at.

Here, Roger's movements did not stop, after throwing the arrow, he walked to the side in a hurry, took a torch from the mouth of a tent, and walked slowly in the direction where the dark golden arrow was thrown, gradually illuminating the scene over there.

Under the firelight, a man in dark black armor, like the group of black-armored cavalry just now, was half-leaning against a large tree, and on his right chest, a dark golden arrow pierced through his chest, piercing deep into his body.

"You're actually ......" The man in black looked at Roger with a shocked face, and was surprised that Roger could catch the arrow he shot with his hand.

"There is a saying in my hometown, called 'Murderers, people always kill', I think it makes sense, what do you think?" Roger took the torch and walked step by step.

Seeing that the man in black armor was still immersed in shock and did not say a word, Roger was bored, and transferred the torch to the other hand with his backhand, and the hand that originally held the torch appeared again, and the dagger he had played with on his fingertips before reappeared.

"If you don't speak, you won't have a chance. Roger turned the dagger.

At this moment, he suddenly turned his head sideways again, looking behind the black-armored man.

Because not far behind the black-armored man, a man who looked to be in his thirties, dressed in a sky-blue robe, and holding a wooden cane in his hand, walked out of the darkness quickly, looking at Roger with a wry smile.

"Your Excellency Roger, please be merciful. ”

"Angle?"

Roger also let out a soft sigh after seeing who the person opposite was, because this robed man was no stranger to him, and he had dealt with him more than once, and this person was also a mid-level wizard apprentice like Oliver.

"Your Excellency Roger, it's been a long time. The robed man named Anglie glanced at the injured man in black armor, and after seeing that he was not worried about his life for the time being, he turned his head and greeted Roger with a wry smile.

"This guy is your person?" Roger didn't mean to be polite, pointed at the black-armored man and said, "If I hadn't reacted quickly, this guy would have shot Oliver in the head with an arrow, Angle, you can tell me what this means." ”

As Roger spoke, Oliver followed, looking at the robed man Anglie and the black-armored man beside him.

The continent is not that big, and Angel obviously knows Oliver too, and knows that his relationship with Roger is incomparable, and this time it was his own people who rashly attacked him, which is unreasonable no matter what he says...... Suddenly, though, he seemed to remember something.

He glanced at Oliver, then at Roger, and then said, "Your Excellency, Roger, if I'm not mistaken, you're here for that too, right?"

"Huh?"

Roger frowned and didn't answer the question, but he was almost certain that what Anglie said was exactly what he and Oliver were here for.

"No wonder you meet two of you here, it seems that His Excellency Roger's thinking coincides with mine. Anglie said without hesitation, pointing at the black-armored man and said, "My squire doesn't know the two, but according to my instructions, try to find out all the wizard apprentices who have recently gone to Freedom City, and wait for the opportunity to clear ......."

"Eliminate potential adversaries. Roger instantly understood what Anglie meant.

It seems that Anglie had the same idea as him, waiting close to the teleportation circle to see if he could snatch food from the witch pet's captor.

It is not difficult for Roger to guess Anglie's thoughts, for everyone who comes to snatch the witch pet, the fewer competitors, the greater the chance of success, this follower of Anglie is a high-ranking knight, under the sneak attack, even if it is an ordinary high-level wizard apprentice, if you don't pay attention, you have to hate on the spot.

Taking a step back, even if the sneak attack fails, with the strength of the black-armored man's high-level knight, as long as he doesn't encounter that kind of extremely rebellious wizard apprentice, it will be no problem to escape.

"I guess he probably didn't expect to meet me. Roger understood why Anglie had been smiling bitterly since he appeared.

This incident only spread among a very small number of wizard apprentices who have been in the mainland all year round, plus have a mentor's inheritance.

Although he is the only great knight in the continent, he is not a person in that circle after all, and Anglie never thought that he would join this competition at all, otherwise he would definitely remind his subordinates that he must be optimistic about who he is before making a move.

Because for a great knight, unless he is killed with overwhelming strength, otherwise, with his strong body and keen combat instincts, it is basically impossible to succeed in a sneak attack, and once the sneak attack fails, it is difficult to escape.

"Then why did those black-armored cavalrymen kill people when they saw them just now?" Oliver on the side suddenly interjected.

"A wizard apprentice, if he doesn't take the initiative, who can find out his identity except for another wizard apprentice?" Anglie asked rhetorically.

"What does it have to do with them killing people. Oliver didn't get it.

Roger glanced at Anglie deeply, and replied for him: "Since you can't tell who is the wizard apprentice, you can only kill them all, if there is no wizard apprentice among the people you meet, you will kill them, if there is, you will inevitably be able to fight back, this is called rather killing the wrong person, not letting go...... Am I right, Angle?"

"His Excellency Roger is still wise. Angliel smiled.

If there were ordinary people present at this time, they would definitely be terrified to hear it, and think that Anglie was too cold-blooded, and maybe he would angrily question Anglie, how could he not take other people's lives seriously so much.

However, in fact, in the wizarding world, this 'cold-blooded' attitude is the most common, because in the eyes of the vast majority of wizards, the existence of ordinary people is not much different from an ant on the side of the road, they will not deliberately slaughter ordinary people, just as ordinary people will not deliberately slaughter ants.

However, if there are 'ants' in the way, then the wizard will not mind either, and will pinch a few 'ants' to death.

In this matter, the caravan people are innocent 'ants' blocking the way.

Although Oliver didn't understand it at first, after hearing Roger's explanation, he also understood this, so he nodded and signaled that he understood the situation.

He didn't question Anglie about the injury of the butler who had entertained him, just as Anglie didn't question him about the dead black-armored cavalryman, because in their hearts, they didn't actually think of them as their own kind.

This is true even if both of them are beginner knights.

"Anglie, you seem to be off topic. ”

It doesn't make sense for Roger to dwell on Anglie's approach to things more than to dwell on them, because that's the underlying rules of the world, and he's not used to it at first, but he also knows he can't change anything, so he can only try to be as weird as possible.

At the moment, the focus is clearly not on Angle's cold-blooded style.

"Lord Roger said yes. Anglie didn't mind Roger's faceless attitude at all, and still smiled: "This time it was my fault first, in order to apologize, I voluntarily withdrew from the competition for that incident, and in addition, this witch wand is also asked to be accepted by Lord Oliver, as compensation for this accident, I hope the two of you can be satisfied." ”

As he spoke, Angel handed the wooden staff in his hand to Oliver.

After doing this, Angel glanced at Roger with his peripheral vision, and saw that he didn't mean to speak again, so he said, "Okay, I'll go first, good luck to both of you." ”

After saying this, Angele took the seriously injured black-armored man and walked towards the darkness, and gradually disappeared.

"Did you really give me this wand?"

Oliver looked in the direction of Angele's disappearance, still feeling a little incredulous.

You must know that this wooden staff is a weapon-type alchemy witch tool, and when it is placed on the side of the continent, it cannot be described in terms of its preciousness.

Roger kept staring at the direction of Angelley's departure until his figure disappeared, then withdrew his gaze, stretched his waist and said to Oliver beside him: "Let's go, don't be stunned here, hurry back and rest for a while, we have to hurry when it is dawn." ”

Seeing that Oliver was still a little distracted, Roger shook his head secretly.

Compared to Angel, Oliver is still too indecisive in dealing with people, and it is no wonder that Oliver's mentor returned to the continent after he was promoted to a mid-level wizard apprentice.

A character like Oliver is not suitable for wandering around at all.
