Chapter 32: The Dignity of the Mage (I)
[I was said to be a bug, although I am very grateful, but I still have to update it in advance, so as not to be misunderstood by readers.] I'll try to update it as soon as possible in the future.,Since everyone has reacted to the update problem.,I can't ignore it]
"Aini!" The door of the laboratory was kicked open, and a heavily armed soldier rushed in, pointing his sword and gun at the still excited Aini and shouting, "What do you have to do with the black magician!
Sika easily took off the stick behind his back and blocked Saleen, but Neris hid behind Salin's back.
Sijia was awakened, she looked at the soldier in amazement, and shouted, "Ken, you are crazy, put down your weapons!"
The soldier named Ken said sadly, "My lord, he is a slender, and Quinn has already died in battle." Those arrows ......"
Quinn is dead?!
Si Jia was a little dazed, Quinn was the only sword master under her who was about to break through, at most three months, she could become an intermediate sword master, and she was the strongest martial artist among the nine subordinates, how could such a soldier be the first to die?
"What's wrong with the arrows?" Salin asked calmly, feeling that something was wrong.
"See for yourself!" Ken withdrew an quiver from behind him and threw it over. Sika caught it and pulled a feathered arrow from the quiver, only to see that the metal arrow had cracked. With a flick of her finger, there was a click, and the arrow shattered completely.
Salin suddenly understood, in order to speed up, Aini urged the refining array with all his strength, and used the fifth-level magic core to process the magic patterns on the arrows, which he could control as a waste wood mage without magic strings.
If a person at the level of an apprentice in magic can refine 110,000 arrows in a day, what else do those alchemists do?
"Ken, don't panic, how many arrows have been scrapped?" Salin didn't suspect Aini, and Aini didn't need to collude with the Dark Mage, if he colluded with the Black Mage, he would have already attacked himself.
Sijia stood up, put on her armor, and said to Ken, "What about the Baron?"
Since a large number of arrows are scrapped, the city wall will definitely not be able to hold it. Salin is not a fine annihilation, this Si Jia can be judged, otherwise Saleen can easily kill himself. As soon as they die, the four of them will be able to control this laboratory, and with the help of magic potions, the castle will be echoed inside and out, and it will be destroyed with one blow.
Ken wanted to kill Aini now, but Sijia didn't give the order, so he could only wait for Aini fiercely, and replied, "Your Excellency has taken someone to the tower." ”
Sijia put on her helmet and turned back to Salin, "Master Salin, the tower is the last stronghold of the castle, will you go?"
When Salin heard that the city wall had been broken, his heart was also cold. The tower is a dead place, it can only be held, there is no way back. If he didn't go, even if Sijia trusted him, the baron wouldn't believe it.
Kill Sijia and escape, there are tens of thousands of black golems out there.
"Aini?" Salin called softly.
Ani's face was blood-red, and her illness worsened. He coughed heavily, put the magic potion on the table into his skin, glanced at Ken coldly, and said, "I'll go to the tower, this thing is just an accident, if you want to die, I will die with you." ”
"Okay, I'll go too. Saleen motioned for Siga to lead the way, and he carefully followed behind Sika, but did not approach Ken. The other party had just died of a brother and was extremely mentally unstable, and Salin didn't want to die unjustly.
Aini sneered and walked at the front, not caring about the eyes that were willing to eat people.
This incident was his mistake, as soon as the castle was broken and everyone died, what did he care about.
Neris sensed that something was wrong, and said softly behind Salin, "Master, is the enemy coming in?" "For Nellis, in the demon plane, running away is commonplace, and when she can, of course, she doesn't have to fight.
"If you really can't, you can run away on your own. Salin didn't accede to Neris's request. If he escaped, if the people in the castle did not die, he would definitely be recognized as a black mage sent by the black magician, and no one would listen to his explanation at that time. Now I have somewhere to escape.
Skocchia can't go back, the Tangulas Empire is the nest of the Holy See, can you go to the Yunliu Empire? The predecessor of the Yunliu Empire is the Fourth Dynasty, and it hates the black mage the most.
Ken suddenly pulled out the short sword at his waist and rested it on Aini's neck. Still sneering, Aini strode towards the tower.
Neris followed after Salin with a bitter face, if she could escape, she would have fled long ago. She and Saleen have a soul contract, and if Saleen is killed, her fate will only be worse. For demons, death is not the end.
There is a sky corridor between the magic lab and the tower, so you don't have to go through the ground. Looking down from the wide stone bridge, the scarecrows had swarmed in, converging in the direction of the tower.
There are a total of four air corridors to reach the tower, and if the castle has enough soldiers, there is no need to retreat into the tower in such a hurry, and there are four tall buildings around the tower, all of which can be used to resist the invaders. However, with a serious shortage of soldiers, everyone could only concentrate their forces and make a final resistance at the tower.
The ground entrance to the tower had been sealed with a metal gate, and now the scarecrow wanted to attack, but instead had to climb up from the four buildings and cross the stone bridge to enter the tower.
At the end of the stone bridge is a platform on which alchemy crossbows are placed, and the four alchemy crossbows are reversed and aimed at the stone bridge, and anyone who wants to cross the stone bridge will have to pay a heavy price.
Entering the tower, Saleen saw Baron Cook, covered in blood and surrounded by a group of soldiers, sitting on the ground, apparently wounded. There were not many soldiers left in the tower, less than a hundred, and a large number of men must have been lost at the city walls. There are two fewer people in Flamenco's nut mercenary group, and he and the four mercenaries who use Qin Yin's eight-sided sword also protect the baron, and if the baron dies, they won't survive.
In fact, these soldiers did not break up because of the habits formed by training. As long as Baron Cook doesn't die, there is hope for these soldiers.
Entering the tower, Ken kicked Aini in the back, and Aini fell to the ground, and without hesitation, Saleen unleashed a long-prepared magic - the Frost Array.
Ken was suddenly frozen to the ground, he fought hard repeatedly, his sword qi was exhausted, and his resistance to first-level magic was surprisingly low. With Salin's move, the soldiers around Baron Cook blew up their nests, raised their weapons one after another, and were about to rush over.
"Stop!" Salin shouted and said coldly to Baron Cook, "Baron, we are not prisoners, are your soldiers despising the dignity of a mage by doing this?"
Salin couldn't see the slightest trace of his kindness, he knew that if he didn't suppress the scene, he might become prisoners immediately. In order to improve morale, Baron Cook will not care whether he is a thin man or not. Only by being tough and making Baron Cook scruple can he turn the situation around.
As he spoke, a white glow lit up in his hands, and at the same time he activated the three spells on his magic robes - the invisible shield, the great power, and the ring of fire resistance. The demon core embedded in the belt had been replaced with a fifth-level one, which was enough for him to squander.
At this time, Sika also poked the stick in his hand into the ground hard, and with a bang, the dust on the ceiling spilled, and the ground cracked.
Sijia frowned, Baron Cook was silent, and Salin suddenly smiled and said to Ken, who was controlled by the frost array: "Do you know how stupid you are? You still think that by guarding the tower, you can wait for the rescuers, right?"
Ken looked at Salin angrily, and Salin said to himself: "An adult, without drinking water, can only live for seven days. If you still have to fight, you will sweat, your blood will gradually dry up, and you will die faster. If I were to be annihilated, I wouldn't have to come with me, and it was only a matter of time before I trapped you. ”
When the eager soldiers heard Salin's words, their faces changed drastically, and their weapons drooped. Saleen is a magician who can make clear water. I've even heard that magicians can make food, and if they do kill Salin, there's nothing to eat in this tower.
"What's even more stupid is that you just kicked down the Clyde family. If you kill him, as long as the news leaks, no one in your whole family will survive. If my guess is correct, you added it to Yanjing, right?"
Ken looked at Salin stubbornly, he couldn't speak, and struggled to use the last bit of residual sword qi to fight against the freezing effect caused by the frost array.
"Maybe the Baron will hide the secret for you, but I don't think there's a need for the Nut Mercenary Regiment to offend the Clyde family for your small soldier, right?
If Ken hadn't been frozen, he would have been sweating by now. Salin finally said the key point, he couldn't kill everyone here, that is, he couldn't kill Aini himself. If you kill Aini, not only will you die, but you will also affect your loved ones.
"What's even more stupid is that you believe this is a dead end. Are you despairing? are you going to give up on yourself? think it doesn't matter if you offend me as a little magician?" said Salin aggressively, his eyes looking at Baron Cook.
Baron Cook was still silent, and Salin sneered: "I am a magician, even if I die here, there is a way for you to get retribution." If you don't trust me, Lord Baron, you'd better do it now, for if you wait for me to do it first, you're the stupidest person out there. ”
Shika had already drawn a boomerang in her other hand, and as soon as Saleen gave the order, she would immediately cut off a person's head, so that Baron Cook would understand that Saleen was not easy to bully. She didn't bother to pay attention to what Salin and the baron were talking about, anyway, the twin saber-rattling was definitely not a good thing.
"What do you want?" Baron Cook asked quietly. He had wanted to control Saleen and help him escape, but now it seemed that the little magician was too shrewd to directly challenge his authority. In this case, it is obviously not good for you to turn your face.
"I just wanted to ask the Baron, do you want to kill me?"
"Silence, Master Salin, you're joking. "Baron Cook tried his best to suppress the impulse in his heart, this little magician, too ignorant of the severity, if he continued to push himself, he would not be able to step down.
Salin took two steps forward, helped Aini up, and said, "Aini is a descendant of the Clyde family, even if he makes a mistake, he will not allow others to deal with it." Do you think, Lord Baron, that he is just an insignificant man?"
