Book 78 Targeted
Mr. Nirru, the Legion Commander of the First Legion of the Sowers of Lantern City, has not been in a good mood lately. After an inexplicable killer bee disaster, his regiment experienced the strictest attrition in several years, but fortunately, the non-commissioned officer class was still intact. The lesson from this accident was so great that he began to buy the peculiar animal repellent ointment from the forest country through the black market in guò, just in case.
The arrest warrants issued by the Duke of Lantern for the heretics were revoked, the whole city was restored from martial law, and the merchant travelers, who had been laid down in and around the city for more than a week, finally stopped complaining and went about their own business.
The murder bee incident was advertised as 'infidels using evil methods to cause chaos', and the people of the city thought about it for a while and thought that it was very likely, so they accepted it. If it wasn't for being controlled, then why did those strange bees specifically bite those armor-piercing soldiers? The soldiers reacted to this in the later stages of the disaster, and simply didn't wear any protection and wouldn't be injured.
The Duke of Lantern sat on the chair and pondered for the past few days, and he couldn't understand why the sick princess didn't stay in her non-commissioned officer school to seduce those male non-commissioned officers in estrus and came to her ground. And the gold-armored man who followed her, who seemed to be a samurai, was actually a strong magician, proficient in summoning.
The last time a magician appeared on the continent, there was a big mess, and it was the magician who was killed by the White Moon Knight King who could be called a disaster. The rumors and non-fiction books don't describe the evil magician much, most of them say that he turned his hands into clouds and turned his hands into rain, and only those who have actually experienced that disaster know how terrible it is to face an enemy who can conjure a powerful demon out of thin air with the wave of his hand.
The Lantern family is indeed in collusion with the Forest Country to want independence, they know the people of the Forest Country and their religion very well, as long as this group of people has forest land, they can't look down on the Lantern area and the plains in the south of the White Moon Country. Although the Duke of Lantern is old, at the instigation of his children, he suddenly bursts into a grand ambition to destroy the White Moon Kingdom with the help of the Forest Country and establish an eternal kingdom himself.
The old duke already felt that his plan was already known to the White Moon Royal Clan, and it would no longer work to secretly accumulate strength like before, and then become independent when there was a big battle between the defeated army city and the forest country and he could not withdraw his troops.
In a secret room in the Castle of Lanterns, the old duke is being bombarded by his eldest son and grandson. The two of them advocated declaring independence as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night. As a person who has watched the battle of the Knight King, the Duke of Lantern is still afraid of his exaggerated combat effectiveness.
"Father, even though the Knight King was strong when he was young, he is old now. ”
Of course, the Duke of Lantern knew this, and no one knew better than him the horrors of aging. But even so, he was not willing to risk tearing his face with the Knight King before his military resources were abundant. "Three months!" said the Duke of Lantern, looking at his son and grandson standing in front of him, in an unquestioning tone, "We must wait until the New Year in three months!"
After Zhou Shu returned to the non-commissioned officer school as a small attendant, it was already dinner time. The cadets were summoned by the bell to the square, where a wooden platform had simply been erected, covered with a red carpet, on which the fake sick princess was talking. A group of male non-commissioned officers in the audience squinted at her by the light of the torch in the night, wanting to take a closer look at the princess's face. The false princess, although she is the headmaster, rarely leaves her own tower, and it is rare for the students to see her.
Master Zhou came late, and he didn't find his team after a round in the square, so he stood in one place casually and listened to the second half.
The magic version of the loudspeaker in front of the fake princess clearly reflected the content of her speech word by word, and the non-commissioned officers and students couldn't help but feel a sense of fear when they stopped in the center of their ears. What she was announcing was related to the seventeen school teachers and instructors who had not been able to come to class on time, and in the first month of school, eight teacher badges had been returned, which proved that at least eight people had been killed, but the murderers had not even seen a single shadow. In addition to the seventeen people, there were two instructors who were out for work and were attacked, but fortunately, there was no danger to their lives, but one of them broke an arm and lost most of his original combat effectiveness.
According to the meaning of the real sick princess, if the murderer is not caught within a month, the matter will be announced to the public, and the teacher and instructor who are sure to be dead will be buried with a high standard.
The non-commissioned officers and cadets thought that they still had nearly a year or two of leisurely school life to live, but they did not expect that the war would be so close to them.
Immediately afterwards, the fake princess told the truth about the explosion of the weapons research institute, including the school spy who escaped. This is still the meaning of the sick princess, who hopes to stimulate these lazy non-commissioned officers with some sensational events. Her goal was achieved, and the non-commissioned officers and students were so frightened that they were all in danger, and some of them were nervous and had already decided that they must find someone to help keep vigil when they slept in the future.
They once thought that the non-commissioned officer school was the safest place, there were at least fifty thousand-level masters here, and thousands of martial arts cultivators, but this strength became the target of other people's hunting, and the purpose of the people who did these things was obvious, that is, to weaken the power of the non-commissioned officer school.
Although Zhou Shu has been messing with the sick princess for a while, it is the first time he has heard of this kind of thing. The fake princess didn't say who the assassins who killed the first team of teachers, but anyone with knees could guess that it must have been the twelve guys who assassinated the princess before.
The last time a teacher was attacked was when Zhou Shu went to Lantern City, ten days ago. It's a red flag that these guys haven't given up yet.
The number of unidentified tens of thousands of masters in the Book of Summoning is too large to be identified. Most of them were legionnaires and thousand-man commanders in the defeated city.
At the end of the false princess's speech, a bright light as a star of the magnitude brightened up in the night sky. This highlight attracted the attention of many people, who raised their heads to look at the night sky.
It's an arrow!
It didn't take long for someone to discover the true nature of the thing. This arrow fell from the sky with a great murderous aura, and the landing point was the sick princess on the podium.
At least twenty people in the square spotted the arrow coming from afar and shooting at the sick princess at the same time, and they all grabbed the items at hand and threw them out to intercept them.
The arrow is fired at the target in a parabolic trajectory, and the pure gold of the arrow is extremely heavy, so the acceleration is also extremely fast. None of the objects thrown by the teachers and students hit.
When the fake princess realized that there seemed to be something on top of her head, her heart almost stopped. She wanted to run, but her body seemed to be attracted by this deadly thing, and she could only look up at it with her eyes straight, and her body could not move. When the false princess could no longer hold her princess frame and wanted to scream, the First Knight stood in front of her, and reached out with a large hand just to catch the arrow of pure gold.
There was a false alarm, the fake princess was afraid, and she was about to become dehydrated in a cold sweat.
At the same time, the first knight jumped on the stage with the Hayabusa instructor. True to his name as Hayabusa, his movements are astounding. However, although he was fast, the person standing under the stage was far away from the princess, so the opportunity to save the person was grabbed by the first knight who stood in the front.
Instructor Falcon also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, he was a two-line star of change and lower limb, and his change ability was acceleration, so his speed was even faster than that of a moon-level lower limb master. However, his strength is relatively limited, and the falling golden arrow is a little reluctant to even catch the first knight, and if he changes to the Falcon Instructor, he can only stick out his chest and use it as a human shield. Dying for the princess will certainly be sung by singers, but the Hayabusa instructor doesn't like it.
The third fastest man was Wembo Torch, who spotted danger earlier than everyone else and was the first to break out of the crowd and fly onto the podium. But his skills are slightly worse, and the fake man is mainly waiting for him to come to the rescue, and his brain has opened at this moment.
It was only a few minutes after the incident that Mr. Zhou reacted to what had happened in the noisy discussion of the students. He had only seen a commotion on the podium in front of him from a distance, and then a group of people threw something into the sky like angry fans, and then several people jumped up. Immediately after, the non-commissioned officers and students jumped to the podium like a sea of mountains, and the posture was like the eight immortals crossing the sea. The second knight behind the fake princess unleashed a sheep dread spell on the crowd, and they all obediently went down. This group of guys all want to take advantage of the chaos to talk to the sick princess and be courteous.
"This is a provocation!"
Four words came from the microphone.
The fake princess is in horror, but her acting skills are definitely the best in the world. When her panties were still hot and humid from fright, she was still able to speak in a calm and majestic tone.
The First Knight was sure that this arrow was definitely not something that a cultivator could shoot on his own. He himself is a moon-level upper limb, and he is also very familiar with Princess Fuhu, who is recognized as the strongest power-type on the mainland, and he knows that neither he nor Fuhu can shoot this kind of arrow, and the person who shoots this arrow must have used some special means.
After Zhou Shu figured out what was going on, he was also stunned for a while, where is this arrow? Medium-range missiles are nothing more than that, right? Crossing half of the city and sniping at a woman's head, this is definitely an individual lì plus technical work.
Attacking in this form at such a time echoes exactly what the false princess has just said. The Assassins had been planning for a long time to shoot this arrow, so they knew that the sick princess would appear at this time, and also knew the location of her podium. To aim at her head, you also need to calculate the height of the podium and her height. If the archers did not have clairvoyance, then they must have had accomplices in the school to provide them with this information. Perhaps the person who built the stage, the person who put the microphone in this position, was one of the Assassins.
The non-commissioned officers and students were so excited by this that the assassin directly attacked the royal family three times and twice, but this time it was still in public, and it was unbearable. A group of students gathered and rushed in the direction where the arrow was coming from, trying to catch the shooter.
The fake princess shook her head helplessly, stopping the student's stupidity.
"Let's disperse today, and now everyone should know the dangers in the school. I need you to write down your powerlessness at this moment, and to write down this resentment. When you go to war, I hope you can bring your feelings today to your opponent, God bless the White Moon. ”
In order to better protect the non-commissioned officers, from now on, the non-commissioned officers and cadets no longer need to contribute their remaining magic to the black core. This leaves them some combat power, but it may not be of much use, it can only be regarded as a psychological comfort. Other than that, there is no other security action at the school. The sick princess, who had just been almost plotted to death, just went back to her tower, and then the campus activities went as usual.
"That's it?"
The non-commissioned officers and students who were left in the square laughed at each other, talking about what had just happened.
Midali suddenly appeared behind Zhou Shu and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Do you feel any of them?" she said, of course, referring to the current turmoil.
Zhou Shu casually pointed to the male non-commissioned officers and students beside him who were yelling excitedly, swearing to defend the honor of the princess, and said, "It's similar to their mood, if it weren't for my accent being too strong, I would have roared along." ”
Midali smiled, knowing he was joking.
"Your lingua franca has improved a lot, and I didn't see you having grammatical mistakes when I spoke to you before. Did you go to the language school to retake during your disappearance?"
In the past half month, Master Zhou has been chatting with the sick princess about topics that are usually only talked about during the talks of heads of state, but this foreign language has grown a lot.
Midali ran over to say hello and left, her long red hair flicking behind her.
It took a full two hours for the crowd in the square to completely disperse, and Zhou Shu returned to the dormitory and greeted Smith, who was boxing with Nem and the lantern siblings at the door, and then returned to the room.
Ula was reading in the room with a thick scary book and a red skinned book. When she saw her master returning, she showed due courtesy, but she did not show the enthusiasm that a lover should have.
"What are you doing, you already understand such a thick lingua franca book?"
Zhou Shu felt that his language had improved fast enough, but now he was completely inferior to his girlfriend.
Ula fanned her long eyelashes and pulled out a thicker book from under her desk. The thickness of this book is almost like binding the complete works of Jin Yong and the twenty-four histories into one.
"I don't know a lot about some of the terms, so I borrowed this dictionary. ”
"Are you sure this isn't a pillow on the road?"
"Do you want to watch it together? It's interesting. Ula held the red book high and shook it a little.
"What kind of book is this, it shouldn't be a novel, right?"
Ula Mystery flipped through the book and showed the title on the cover to the master, and Zhou Shu recognized this word - the history of the White Moon Kingdom.
Master Zhou looked puzzled and said, "Why do you still want to come and see this thing?" They have some understanding of the history of this world, and most of them are asked from Sister Alice.
"I wandered around the school library for a long time, and I couldn't find a book about magic and the other world, so I took the thickest history book and read it. ”
Ula didn't trust the Grey Witch's letter 100% before, and at least for now, there was no evidence that the Grey Witch could return to Earth with her group.
"So you found the clue yourself?" Zhou Shu suddenly felt that his girlfriend was really idle.
Ula smiled helplessly, "Isn't this the original purpose of our coming to school, you just leave me alone and let me continue to study, so that I will feel more at ease." ”
For the neurotic side shown by his girlfriend, Zhou Shu sympathized. He couldn't remember the last time he had read a big book in his arms. He didn't bother with the Ula mystery, but took out the top-level cultivation magic array sent by the sick princess and stood up.
This trip to the sick princess made Zhou Shu feel a lot, mainly from the terrible wave of arrow rain from the Sower Legion. It doesn't feel good to run away, it's worse than killing, especially when you're surrounded by a female companion. Although he and the sick princess easily escaped from the encirclement of the army of seeders, Zhou Shu longed for the kind of tough guy who could swagger in and out of the enemy formation.
Zhou Shu has the talent to become the object of his desire, he has a total amount of magic power that no one in this world can match, and a good root bone talent. If he wants to become stronger, he only needs to stand on the magic circle and be transformed. Now, he had finally begun to take his talent seriously, and he didn't need Ula Myri's temptation to start cultivating completely out of his own volition.
Even Zhou Shu himself didn't expect that he, who was originally enthusiastic for three minutes, would be able to endure loneliness and cultivate for such a long time this time.
Three whole months.
