Chapter 176: I May Have Taken a Fake Necklace

Bang! Several Dou Qi slashes shot out in unison, mixed with the wind blades of the wind mages on the side, slashing directly above the iron gate. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoThey didn't deliberately wait for Kevin to call for supper again, because they felt that Kevin must be fully prepared at that time, but not usually.

So they simply broke down the door and assaulted, seemingly without warning, but unfortunately, Kevin has been in the waiting position since he learned that the city lord was coming. Although it is true that Kevin can't be nervous all the time, at least he can grasp it when it matters most.

The water element suddenly began to gather frantically, and at the same time, the iron door had been opened alive, and in an instant, a necklace flew in from the opening, and everyone exclaimed, caught the necklace, looked at it for a while, and then discussed: "What is this?" "Where does this chain seem to have been seen......?"

According to the original plan, the water element would be rapidly absorbed at this time, and the circle would not be able to be activated. Then the many masters lurking outside will flock in. Its elite earth mages use powerful earth confinement spells to imprison everyone here, protecting hostages and arresting suspects.

The difference is only an instant, if the magic circle is activated, then all the hostages around will freeze to death. And if the circle can't be activated, other elite mages rush in, and their imprisoning spells will be activated immediately, and Kevin will die. If it is a real battle, then the danger is really between life and death, but because it is a drill, everyone is still relatively relaxed.

However, the strange thing is that the necklace has been thrown in, but the water element has not been absorbed, and the necklace thrown in seems to have no effect?

"Up!" But the sheriff outside didn't care too much, knowing that the magic circle could be activated at any time, but Kevin didn't dare to really activate it, and rushed in directly through the open opening.

Kevin was annoyed and immediately asked, "What are you doing? The magic circle has been activated, and you don't care about it?"

The sheriff who rushed in ignored him, and the two earth mages immediately took action, and almost in the blink of an eye, all the hostages were wrapped in a thick layer of dirt. And the next step, the obvious attack on Kevin. The first step to protect the hostages, the next step to capture Kevin, it seems that they are very clear.

Kevin was unceremonious as the magic missile attacked its collection point, "Okay, since you've all secured the hostages, I'll give it a try!"

"Wait!" the woman in the visor had to stop, "your water element has been absorbed by the necklace. The magic array is judged to be unable to be activated!"

"What necklace?" Kevin asked rhetorically, "and why wasn't it absorbed?"

"It's the protection of the water elves, you should know that, right?" asked the woman in the sunhat, and the two of them stopped to watch the two of them debate, "This is a high-grade magic instrument that the city lord lent us. It is impossible to activate the water system circle. ā€

"Then why isn't the water element absorbed?" Kevin asked rhetorically.

The woman in the sunhat was a little embarrassed: "Maybe...... I'm holding a fake necklace. ā€

"Since you're holding a fake necklace, of course you don't have the ability to destroy the magic circle, and all the hostages were dead from the beginning," Kevin frowned, "Also, I always feel like I've seen your voice somewhere, don't think I don't know you with a helmet." ā€

The woman in the sunhat was silent for a moment, and simply raised her hand and waved: "Don't talk nonsense, everyone, catch him and talk about it!"

Kevin simply threw his sword: "Okay, there's nothing to play with people who don't follow the rules." You've won, come and get me. ā€

Several mages glanced at each other, and the hostages below all looked at them in surprise, making them feel a little embarrassed to reach out.

In just a moment, the door was completely opened, and countless sheriffs rushed in like a tidal wave, occupying the entire vault in an instant, and then rubbing at least 8 swords around Kevin's neck, all in a circle. Everyone had angry faces, and it was indeed Kevin who kept them out all day.

The captain stepped in: "Okay, the robbers have been arrested, the hostages have been rescued, and this military exercise is over." ā€

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the sword holding Kevin was also put down, and each moved his arm to stretch his waist, trying to relieve the fatigue of the day. Kevin only sneered twice, but at this point, he didn't insist on it anymore. The other party has already lied, and it is useless to say anything.

"Wait!" Unexpectedly, the head of the vault suddenly spoke, "The necklace is fake, and you can be regarded as a successful breakthrough?"

The captain was stunned, and turned his head to look at the woman in the sunhat, he didn't have this chain in his hand, and he didn't know it. The woman in the sunhat shook her head helplessly at the captain, meaning that the necklace was really fake.

At this time, the captain didn't think much about why the necklace was fake, and just wanted to quickly fool the past: "That...... Well, of course, you have to use some props. It's normal to be fake. You see, the arrows in our drills are all fake, and they really kill people. ā€

"Really?" said the Vault Master, "but the true necklace of the Water Elf's Protector is in our vault. ā€

The atmosphere at the scene was quiet for a moment, and the captain was stunned, and couldn't help but recall some problems. For example, why did the lady of the city lord have to appoint a woman in a sunhat to throw the necklace, even when she knew she was "dead". The woman in the sunhat was originally the personal bodyguard of the city lord's wife, but only after the recent personnel transfer, she entered the sheriff's ranks. Isn't there anything wrong with that?

"At that time, the lady of the castle lord personally deposited the necklace in the vault, and I received it myself," replied the treasurer, "and shall I ask her if she has a second necklace?"

Seeing the opportunity, Kevin would not miss it, and immediately spoke: "Also, dare you take off her helmet." All the hostages present have seen it, what does it mean for a dead man to charge at me again?

She ...... It's twins, and there's an older sister who wears a sunhat all the time, and she's a younger sister. The captain explained with a dry smile.

Kevin wanted both twins to come forward, but it was estimated that the other party would also find an excuse to fool him. Just as they were thinking about their words, the general and others also walked in: "What's the matter? Isn't it over yet?"

The captain glanced back and asked, "Where is the city lord?"

"The lord has gone back," replied the general, "and he told you to return the necklace to-morrow." ā€

The captain kept silent with a dark face, and hesitated for a moment: "I'll go after the city lord immediately, and give me the necklace!

The sheriffs left behind were a little overwhelmed and subconsciously went to see the general. The general asked the crowd, "Is the exercise over?"

No one answered.

After a moment of silence, he always felt that it was not a matter for this to continue, and the sheriffs would have to wait for the captain to come back anyway, and as for Kevin, it seemed that no one cared about it, and the general did not order it to him. Simply, Kevin spoke: "So, let's ask the hostages, do you think the exercise is over?"

After all, the hostages have been in place for a day, and they are quite tired. At this point, they all said, "Let's end it." "Okay, so be it. ā€......

Kevin asked again, "Do you think you've been rescued?"

The hostages were silent, and some laughed but did not answer.

Kevin spoke again: "I'll sort it out for you, first of all, according to the situation just now, what was thrown in was a fake necklace." I immediately activated the magic circle, and I and the hostages all died together. A group of mages rushed in behind, and they could only collect the corpses. ā€

"Second, if the necklace thrown in is real, then we know that the distance of the water spirit's blessing is 5 meters in radius, that is, a circle with a diameter of about 10 meters. The necklace that was just thrown in is here," Kevin walked over to the middle of the hostages, and measured with his footsteps, "Take this as the center, one step, two steps...... Five steps, or the boundary of the blessing, is about here, which is the closest to the gate, but the closest distance is still about two steps. ā€

"In other words, although the water elf protection was thrown in, and successfully blessed all the hostages, the door will be frozen under the freezing ground of my circle. Those who rush in will also be attacked by powerful water spells, and it is impossible for you to rush in as easily as you just did. Kevin replied.

"No," retorted the "twin" of the woman in the visor, "if I threw the real necklace in, you wouldn't be able to activate the circle." ā€

"You're wrong," Kevin replied, "if the necklace is thrown above the circle, the circle can't be activated because it doesn't have the water element. But you throw it on the hostage's head, and the circle starts as usual, but the hostage is sheltered. If you don't believe it, you can try again, anyway, there are real necklaces in the vault. ā€

The woman in the sunhat does not squeak.

"Actually, you're right, because in actual combat, you don't know how many magic circles I have arranged, and maybe there are spare ones, then the problem is serious. Protection is best placed on top of the hostage's head," Kevin affirmed her judgment for a moment, and then concluded, "So the conclusion is, whether the necklace is real or fake, there is a big problem with your tactics just now." With a delay of 1 second in actual combat, I may have already done other actions. ā€

Everyone was silent for a while, and the woman in the sunhat spoke helplessly: "Anyway, let's wait for our captain to come back." Please be patient. ā€

"No need," the general finally spoke, "since there is controversy in the exercise, then according to the rules, repeat the exercise." ā€

Everyone: "......"

"Back to the beginning of your last impact, the necklace was fake, but now that the magic circle has been destroyed, it should be considered fake," the general pointed to the ground, and sure enough, the sheriffs rushed in and trampled the formation on the ground, "10 minutes later, the drill began again. Anyway, you have to wait for your captain, so it's better to decide the winner at this time. ā€

Kevin immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, I actually know that I will fail sooner or later." But I also hope that the sheriffs will not use such tricks to win me. ā€

"Good!" the woman in the visor immediately waved her hand, "Let's go out, and in 10 minutes we'll charge!"

At the sound of the order, the sheriff's faces were full of impatience, but they still had to go out again, form a team, prepare, receive a lecture, and so on. And Kevin also came to the general: "Thank you, General." ā€

"You can play the robber well now," replied the general calmly, "and I have questions for you when I get back." ā€

"Yes. Kevin nodded. He understood where he had learned his magic array, and he needed to explain.

As he spoke, the general led people out of the vault, and the governor of the vault on the side also came over and patted Kevin: "Okay, which faction are you from?"

Kevin shook his head: "I don't know what faction. I'm not a faction. ā€

The Vault Governor smiled, "If you're not a faction, then you're probably the middle point, the balance point." ā€

Kevin was stunned: "Balance?

"As the name suggests, the balance point is naturally the key to the balance between factions, so in the future, when fighting between factions, it is likely that you will think of you," replied the Governor of the Treasury, "I don't know if you have ever heard of the term proxy wars." ā€

Kevin was silent.

"If you're not from any of the factions, then you're probably from all factions, you know?" asked the Vault Governor.

Kevin shook his head: "Factional fighting, how can a little person like me understand." I just honestly followed the tasks assigned above and did it steadfastly. ā€

The Governor of the Treasury nodded and said no more, focusing on the present: "There are still 10 minutes left, what are you going to do?"

"The circle is no longer a threat, they can crack it by throwing a fake necklace, and now I want to strengthen the gate. Kevin replied.

The head of the treasury gave everyone a look: "Come on, let's all do a favor too." After eating so much, you should also be active. Come, block the tables and chairs in the doorway, and tie them up with ropes, quick!"

The governor spoke, and everyone acted immediately. For a moment, Kevin was a little dazed, and he didn't understand why, at the last moment, the head of the vault chose to help. Some people also questioned how everyone could help casually when everyone was tied up? The governor sneered and retorted: "The dead person on the other side can still rush in, so what's the matter with helping here?"

Everyone had nothing to say, and Kevin thanked the head of the vault: "Thank you, in fact, no matter how much you help, I will still lose." ā€

"Of course," replied the Governor of the Treasury, "I was also very annoyed by the military exercises, and you broke my chandelier." But I haven't seen such a serious person for a long time, so I'll accompany you to be serious once. ā€

It was 10 minutes and it was already 9 o'clock in the night. The woman in the sunhat swung her sword to the sky: "Up!

With a shout, all the sheriffs drew their swords and charged, and rushed to the door. saw that Kevin had already held a counter lady hostage, grabbed her by the back collar with one hand, and held the sword in his right hand.

Everyone had subconsciously stopped, scolding angrily in their hearts, but they could only say one sentence: "What do you want?

"The magic circle has been broken, and the fake necklace doesn't have to be thrown away, so be it, just be it. Kevin replied. The archers behind the sheriff opened their bows and aimed, but after aiming for a long time, they didn't dare to really release the arrows, which was too risky.

The woman in the sunhat was silent for a moment, and suddenly a brisk stride approached, stabbing Kevin's wrist. Kevin was not surprised, the other party was sure that he was not a real robber, so it was impossible to really kill someone. The other party took a quick step, as if the robber attacked without reacting, which is a very ridiculous place, but at this time, there is no effort to pull it.

When the sword arrives, Kevin can only return the sword to fight back. The woman in the visor stabbed two more times, but Kevin moved the counter lady forward. The woman in the sunhat hurriedly stopped her sword and stabbed again, Kevin blocked again, Kevin counterattacked, and the opponent blocked......

For a moment, it was as if I had returned to the depths of the Kaludia Hills, the time when I fought day and night with the bandits. Block, slash, block, cut...... A monotonous and repetitive melody, but inkblot and long-lasting. Kevin was so experienced in this trick that the door was strengthened at this time, and there was only one opening in and out, and the shield was replaced by the counter lady, which made it even more difficult for the sheriff to start.

Indeed, they calculated that Kevin would not dare to really kill, but Kevin would not dare to kill people if he didn't count them. What's more, the counter lady has fine skin and tender meat, and a beautiful and moving girl feels a little touch, which is a pity. However, the counter lady herself was already frightened, and she felt that the sword qi around her was horizontal, and when she opened her eyes, she was full of cold sword light, and she was so frightened that she closed her eyes.

The woman in the sunhat rubbed for more than 3 minutes, and finally remembered that there was still a mage, so she simply stepped back: "Mage, imprison him!"

The three mages stepped forward at the same time, and the earth-based spells were immediately activated. Kevin couldn't break the spells of three people at the same time, so he could only retreat immediately. Suddenly, the ground was surging with mud and sand, and in an instant, the counter lady was wrapped in a clay figure.

The woman in the sunhat hurriedly stepped forward and tried to snatch someone, but Kevin already had a piece of rope in his hand. The wrist is attached to the waist of the counter lady, and with just a hard pull, even if it is already a clay figure, it will automatically fall towards Kevin. Kevin reached out to catch it, it was still his shield, and the opponent failed to grab people, and he fought Kevin with both swords again.

The captain finally returned at this moment, and there was nothing wrong with his necklace. Originally, he was worried that the city lord would blackmail him into a real necklace, but in fact, he thought too much. When asked if the chain was fake, the city lord's wife also replied calmly: "You didn't say it must be true? ā€

Of course, the captain didn't dare to question it, so he could only hurriedly return it, and then hurried back. Unexpectedly, when I came back, I saw this scene: "What are you doing? Isn't the exercise over?"

The general said so and so on the side. Captain: "......"

Then, the captain stared intently for a moment, but saw that the battle at the door was so fierce, but he couldn't attack it for a long time. Immediately shouted, "What is the mage doing?"

"Captain!" someone on the side reported, "The passage is too small, and it has been reinforced with tables, chairs and benches, so it's not easy for us to dismantle it directly." The Imprisonment spell has already been used once, and the mage needs to rest. Moreover, if the clay figure is wrapped in a circle again, the clay figure will become too big, and this passage will be directly blocked. ā€

Captain: "......"

After another 10 minutes, the stalemate continued. It's just that the sunhat woman finally changed out and let the follow-up sheriff take the lead attack, but the ending was still not broken.

"Kevin, because of the lack of thought!" the captain really knew this person, and he gritted his teeth a little, and he couldn't wait to play in person.

The general comforted on the side: "Kevin once resisted more than a thousand bandits for nine days with the strength of three people in the depths of the Carudia Hills. He's experienced in defensive tactics, which is why I put him as a robber. Because I also want to see how he managed to hold on for so long, and now I can see it. Hehe. ā€

Captain: "......"

After another 10 minutes, the continuous high-intensity battle finally brought Kevin's physical strength to the limit. You must know that the bandit will be replaced at that time, and after all, it was a battle of life and death, this time it was just a drill, and Kevin would not fight until he was tired and fell down this time.

Seeing that it was almost over, Kevin finally shouted, "I don't want to live anymore." Then he "killed" the counter lady with a knife, and then "killed" himself with a knife.

Everyone at the scene: "......"

When the sheriffs were finished, they hurried in again and tried to "free" the remaining hostages. saw that the hostages had been labeled "half-dead".

At the last minute, Kevin didn't get things done. As a robber, he simply "tortured" the remaining hostages and then gave them a "half-dead". The sheriff's hard day's work was somewhat comforting. It's just that the hostages don't look "half-dead" at all, drinking tea and chatting, and even playing cards, which makes the really tired half-dead magistrates look inexplicably angry.
