Chapter 7 The Twists and Turns of the Struggle
"Martin, I think I've heard of it, it should be the uncle of the current king of the Slan Kingdom. At the top of the tree, Roger matched the man with the name he had heard in his head through the words of the two men who confronted him.
The Kingdom of Slan and the Kingdom of Layton where Roger was born are not very far apart, and the two countries are currently considered allies, so Roger has a certain impression of him, if he remembers correctly, this wizard apprentice named Martin should belong to the top group of middle-level wizard apprentices, and he may be promoted to a high rank at any time, far from being comparable to Oliver or Angel.
"As for these two...... Roger's gaze fell on the two men with their backs to him.
For a person like Roger, who has reached a certain level, the continent is far from being as big as the name sounds, and many people have more or less heard each other's names even if they have never met each other, Martin is like this, and so are the brothers who intercepted him.
"Brother Wright, both of them are the best of the mid-level wizard apprentices, even if they are taken out alone, they are more powerful than the average mid-level wizard apprentice, if the two join forces, with the unique tacit understanding between their brothers, even high-level wizard apprentices can fight. Roger rubbed his chin slightly, not intending to snatch it immediately.
If he wasn't wrong, there should have been someone else around at this point.
Although there were not many wizard apprentices who were usually in the continental region, including most of the three people facing each other in front of them, they did not necessarily stay in the continental region all the time, but as soon as this incident appeared, all the wizard apprentices who were born in the continental region were afraid that they would rush back immediately. After all, it is a matter of a high-ranking wizard, and if anyone can be lucky enough to be mentioned by a high-ranking wizard, the possibility of becoming a full-fledged wizard in the future will definitely be much greater, and this kind of opportunity is not available every day.
Therefore, Roger is almost certain that it is not only these three people who are competing for this witch pet.
If he makes a move now, these three people together are not his opponents, but if he does, there is no doubt that the others will join forces to deal with him first, and in this case, even with the strength of his great knight, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not capsize in the gutter.
Roger is still relatively confident in his strength, but he has not yet reached the point of arrogance.
Those who can come to compete for witch pets are at least above the middle level, and ordinary middle-level wizard apprentices like Oliver are probably the weakest ones.
Being besieged by such a group of wizard apprentices is no joke.
"Wait and see, someone will be unable to sit still before me. ”
......
Sure enough, just when Roger decided to wait and see, there was a new change on the side of the Martin and Wright brothers who were facing each other!
Directly behind Martin, a large tree that had looked ordinary suddenly swayed violently, and as the tree swayed, one of the thicker branches suddenly began to grow, and quickly poked towards the metal cage that Martin was carrying!
"Oh no! Vines? There were other people around. The first to react was not Martin himself, but the Wright brothers, who were standing across from him.
However, the person who suddenly made a move was too surprising in terms of timing and way of shooting, and it was only a blink of an eye from the time he shot to the time he was discovered, and when the three people who were facing each other found out, they had no time to react, and the metal cage was swept away by the branch!
"Bastard!"
The three of them were furious and attacked in the direction of the big tree together.
However, it seems that the person who shot this had expected this, and the branch did not retract after sweeping away the metal cage, but quickly sent it in another direction, where a man on horseback took the metal cage and laughed wildly: "Hahahahaha, you play slowly, I won't accompany you, go first!"
Carrying a metal cage, the man on horseback drove the horse with his eyebrows fluttering.
His location was not close to the three of them, and he was riding a horse, even if the three of them wanted to pursue, they might not be able to catch up for a while, no wonder this person was so proud.
"Doesn't this guy know what it means to be happy and sad......" On the top of the tree, Roger watched this scene with some pity, still without the slightest intention of making a move.
The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind.
If the man on horseback is regarded as a praying mantis, then there must be more than one yellow finch around now, and it is impossible to just watch him fly away.
"It's on!" Roger's ears twitched, and he suddenly looked towards the clearing in front of the man on horseback.
Boom Boom –
With the roar of a boulder, in front of the man on horseback, a row of conical stone pillars at least half a meter thick suddenly rose from the ground, and the cone thorn pointed at the direction of the man on horseback half-tilted, if he hit it, the man on horseback would be seriously injured if he did not die.
"Damn! it's a ground stab!" The sudden cone was so close that the man on horseback didn't have time to turn around, so he had to jump off the horse's back decisively, roll on the ground a few times in embarrassment, and take off the metal cage he was carrying.
The horse under him was not so lucky, and after a neighing sound, he struck the tip of the cone and was killed on the spot.
The metal cage rolled around on the ground a few times, was stopped by a hand, and lifted up.
"Is there enough trouble?" The owner of the hand was a man with a somewhat sallow face, but he saw him lift the metal cage and said expressionlessly to the man who fell off the horse: "If you have enough trouble, you can get out, I am not in a good mood today, and I don't want to be verbose." ”
The brothers Martin and Wright, who were not far away, were about to chase after them, but after seeing the appearance of this person who suddenly appeared, their steps suddenly froze, and their faces were full of fear.
Because they all recognized who the man who had come out to intercept the man on horseback was - Logut, one of only three high-level wizard apprentices in the continent, who was proficient in earth spells.
Earth wizard apprentices have always been the strongest defenders in their ranks, even if they want to break through their defenses, it is even more difficult for people of the same level to break their defenses, and it is basically impossible for people who are lower than them to break their defenses, so group attacks are not much of a threat to the person in front of them.
"The first yellow finch appeared. Roger also recognized the identity of this person, "Since the first yellow finch has appeared, there will be no chance if the others don't appear again......"
At this moment, a somewhat feminine voice sounded: "I said Logut, when did your temper become so good, is it interesting to be surrounded by such a bunch of garbage?"
The one who spoke was a yin owl man who appeared at an unknown time, and beside him was a strong man with a two-handed sword on his back, wearing armor and a face full of flesh.
"Secret high-level wizard apprentice, Gandhi!" Martin and the others felt a chill in their hearts when they saw this gloomy man, this Gandhi was one of the only three high-level wizard apprentices in the continent like Logut, but his style of action was completely different, he was notoriously moody, and he never cared about what was bullying the small, and the low-level wizard apprentice who died under his hands couldn't count it on two hands.
"Zach, clear the field!" said Gandhi, the gloomy man, suddenly.
"Yes, sir!"
The strong man beside him grinned, and the next moment, the figure had disappeared from the yin owl man's side, and when he reappeared, he had already appeared behind the man who fell from the horse, and the two-handed sword on his back had appeared in his hand.
The speed of the strong man was too fast, and the man who fell down immediately was already starry-eyed, and his reaction was a few beats slower, where could he react.
Bang!
The two-handed big sword was in the hand of the strong man, like a fly swatter, and the man who fell off the horse flew out at once, and he didn't even have time to let out a miserable howl.
When he fell to the ground, he was already motionless and out of human form.
"Run!" The three Martins, who originally wanted to stay aside to see if they had a chance to pick up the bargain, made a decision in an instant and fled into the woods next to them without looking back.
The strong man glanced in the direction they were leaving, did not chase any more, and put the big sword back behind his back.
