Chapter 25: Assassin Attack
"It stinks!"
As soon as he walked down the stairs, Duan Xiaofei covered his nose with his sleeves, although it was unsurprisingly a basement underneath, in addition to the smell of rotten wood, there was also a strong rancid smell wafting in the basement. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
Duan Xiaofei pulled Miao Ke and waited for the air in the basement to change before continuing to walk down.
Whewββ
With a few soft sounds, several red halos suddenly lit up in the basement, and after the red light, a few fires lit up.
By the light of the fire, Duan Xiaofei could also see that these were candlesticks embedded in the walls of the basement, and behind these candlesticks, there was also a small magic array, which was probably activated just now, and ignited the wick of the candle.
"Teacher ?!!"
This is, Miao Ke suddenly exclaimed, she covered her mouth with her hands, her pupils suddenly dilated, and she looked at the front of the basement room in horror.
Is that......
A white bone!
"This ...... This...... Someone died here?" Duan Xiaofei suddenly panicked, and he said to Miao Ke, "Miao Ke, he, he won't be your teacher?"
"Teacher!"
Miao Ke didn't respond, but rushed straight up and stood in front of the white bone sitting in the chair.
"Yes...... Yes. Miao Ke's hand trembled and raised, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "It must be the teacher, what he is wearing is the teacher's robe!"
"But, how could it be ......" Duan Xiaofei also walked over and said incredulously, "How could your teacher die in the basement of his house?"
"I don't know ......"
Miao Ke burst out crying and knelt down beside Bai Gu: "Teacher, you, why did you leave all of a sudden!" Miao Ke ...... Wonderful, too late to see your last ......"
Looking at Miao Ke's heartbroken appearance, Duan Xiaofei also felt that his nose was sour, he walked behind Miao Ke and said, "I think there must be a reason why the teacher died in his basement." β
"Uh-huh......" Myok slowly stood up, her gaze turning to the notebook on the table in front of the skeleton.
"What is this?" Miao Ke gently flipped open, the notebook was three fingers thick, most of it was written in it, and the end of the note seemed to be abruptly interrupted and did not continue.
"What did your teacher write?" Duan Xiaofei asked.
"It's a theory that the teacher has been studying for many years. Miao Ke said, "Could it be that the teacher died because of overwork from recording and thinking day and night?"
She looked at the white bones sitting in the chair, and then helped the old notebook, and said, "The teacher used to think that the magical energy of the magician does not come from the magician himself, but from the ...... nature."
"I've heard you mention that even a person who doesn't have much magic accumulation can use special methods to attract the magic elements between heaven and earth. Duan Xiaofei said, "If this theory is true, then there will be a lot more magicians in a short period of time." β
"The teacher's research is not complete, unlike gunpowder, gunpowder at least the teacher has made a prototype, but the teacher does not have the right person to test this research on the theory of magic. Miao Ke held the notebook in both hands and said.
"Isn't it okay for ordinary ordinary people?" Duan Xiaofei asked.
"No, I can't. Miao Ke shook his head, "Although the teacher put forward the idea that magic comes from nature and not from the magicians themselves, in fact, the candidate conditions for this study are more demanding than becoming a real magician. β
"First of all, this person needs to have a certain amount of magical talent, and the higher this talent, the better, however, he must not have too much magical energy, otherwise it will be difficult to verify the teacher's theory. β
Miao Ke sighed and said, "So, the teacher has never found a suitable candidate in his life. β
"But why did your teacher die in the basement? You said that magicians live a long life. Duan Xiaofei said.
"The teacher's death was due to overwork...... Miao Ke said as she looked at the handwriting on her notebook.
"Anyway, let's bury the teacher properly. Duan Xiaofei looked at the skeleton on the table and said.
"Hmm. Miao Ke nodded slightly, and he found a suitable large box from the room and gently placed the skeleton inside.
Miaoke's space storage bag couldn't fit into such a large box, and the two were about to carry the box upstairs when they suddenly heard the sound of someone talking outside......
"Nick, are you sure the Great Prince is inside?"
"Of course, I used the Eagle Eye technique on the mountain next to me, and I watched him and that intermediate magician Miao Ke enter the house together. β
"But what are they doing here?"
"Whatever, we just need to go back with their heads, that's enough, could it be that I, a high-level magician, can't beat that chick? β
"Tsk, that's a pity for that beautiful chick of Miaoke. β
β......β
Duan Xiaofei's feet on the stairs suddenly stopped, and he glanced back at Miao Ke, obviously Miao Ke also heard their conversation.
These two people were sent by the second prince to assassinate him?
"Young Master, Young Master, what should I do!" Miao Ke immediately took out the staff from his arms.
Bang!
At this moment, the wooden door of the hut was kicked open from the outside, and a man in black leather armor walked in from the outside, playing with a dagger in each hand.
"Hey, it's inside!"
When this person came to the house, he saw the open basement entrance at first glance, and Duan Xiaofei and Miao Ke were directly below the entrance!
"Your Royal Highness the Great Prince, I don't know what happened when you sneaked out of our demon clan territory and came to the Atlantan Empire?"
As the man spoke, another magician in black robes and holding a staff walked in.
"Your Highness, they are the killers of the second prince! the one with the dagger is called Dick, and the other is called Net, and he is a high-ranking magician. Miao Ke whispered in Duan Xiaofei's ear.
"Your Royal Highness, if you cooperate, we can give you a good time, otherwise...... Hehe, His Royal Highness the Second Prince's order is just to get your heads back, as for how you died, he doesn't care. The Assassin named Dick curled up at the corners of his mouth and grinned.
"Less nonsense, do it quickly. The magician was direct, with a finger of the staff, his mouth quickly chanted a magic spell, and a cloud of purple-black gas gushed out from the staff, and he came to Duan Xiaofei and the others in an instant.
"Fire escape!"
Miao Ke's reaction was not slow, as soon as the staff was erected, a round flame shield stood between the two sides, and the purple-black gas was immediately burned out when it touched the flames.
"Hehe, don't underestimate my number one assassin of the demon race. β
Almost at the same moment as the purple-black gas and the flame shield disappeared, a cold voice came from behind Duan Xiaofei.
