In the Mid-Autumn Festival of the first year of the Emperor's calendar, the city of Lisbon is lit up with lights, and the houses near the King's main road are full of all kinds of flowers by wooden magicians, so that the whole city that was originally in autumn is filled with the smell of spring. www.biquge.info In the past few days, participants from magic competitions from all over the world have arrived one after another, along with a team of diplomatic envoys from the Holy See.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most important festivals in the pancontinent. On that day, the two moons of Shusari were full at the same time, and the full moon symbolized reunion, and on that day travelers, merchants, and scholars from all over the continent would rush home to reunite with their families.

Affected by the tides of the double full moon, the magic elves are the most active in these days around the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is also the best time to compete in the magic competition. This year, according to astrologers' calculations, the most active time for magic tides is the day after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

There are also many people who are unable to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with their families, such as students at the Academy of Magic. The academy gave them a day off and let them play freely around the city.

The imperial capital is extremely prosperous during the holidays, especially on the night of the festival, when King Frederick III held a banquet in the royal palace. Envoys from all over the world are on the list of invitees, and of course the Magi of the Academy of Magic. After the banquet, there will be a gorgeous fireworks show. Dozens of fire magicians brought gunpowder refined by alchemists to the St. Jolmain Mountains and lit it, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

Students who don't need to attend the party crowded the streets in droves, and young people always like to be lively. Or climb high to look at the moon, or like the bustling street scene. Bert and Irene followed the crowd and strolled down King's Road.

It's been more than half a year since they entered the school, and the two of them, who have been addicted to magic, have hardly ever left the academy. On this day of reunion, they are naturally very homesick, and the two shuttle through various daily necessities stores with some scholarships saved by thrift and thrift. I want to send some special products of the imperial capital to my parents and relatives who are far away.

The two young men bought a lot of things and rushed to the magic courier center with large bags and small bags to send the courier. Here, anything can be quickly transmitted to various cities on the continent by magic, and then delivered to your home by horse-drawn carriage, which is quite convenient. However, the price of teleporting an item is directly proportional to the size of the item. The two of them, even if they were students of the Academy of Magic, had spent nearly five gold coins on the cost of going to the internal price.

The two of them were a little tired after a night of shopping, and in order to prepare for tomorrow's game, the two decided to go back to the academy early to rest.

After passing through several bustling streets, the two entered a path that led to the Academy of Magic. Originally, there were many people passing by here, but today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and everyone gathers on the main roads such as King's Road.

Two full moon nights illuminated the entire continent as bright as ordinary daylight, and as he crossed the path, Bert spotted a humanoid figure on the ground not far in front of him, and Bert grabbed Eileen.

"Come out, don't hide, I see you. Bert shouted into the air. If anyone wants to sneak up on them, this is the perfect place to do so, as patrols will hardly pass by. When others find their bodies, it will be at least tomorrow.

After waiting for a while and still no movement, Bert began to wonder, could it be that the other party's target was not them? If he just stumbled into their encirclement by mistake, it would be better to walk away in a low-key manner, and when he was hesitating whether to run or make the first move, the other party moved.

A dagger glittering green in the moonlight stabbed out of a dark corner. At first glance, it was a weapon with quenched poison!What? Didn't the enemy attack from above? Who was the shadow on it? Before he had time to think about it, Bert pushed Erin away, and his body slid backwards, dodging the attack.

Bert, who hadn't used martial arts to fight for a long time, was a little rusty, but now he could quickly release all kinds of intermediate magic, and after a quick moment of silence, the "Wind Walk" had already taken shape under his feet. At the same time, Erin casts a "slowdown" spell on the sneak attacker. With the combination of "Wind Walk" and "Deceleration", even the fastest Assassin was only played in slow motion in Bert's opinion.

Two "wind blades" then sliced through the air, and the sneak attacker struggled to block it with a dagger. Sneaking up on two high-level magicians with one person, this person is also a little too confident. However, if he sneaks up on the two unsuspecting people in the shadows, the ending will be completely reversed.

"Who the hell are you, and why are you attacking us?" Bert, who was gaining the upper hand, was not at all worried about what damage this man could do to himself.

However, the other party didn't seem to want to talk nonsense with him, and seeing that the sneak attack was not successful, he took out something from his arms and threw it on the ground. "Bang!" instantly stirred up a burst of thick smoke, and the two immediately covered their mouths and noses, not knowing if the smoke was poisonous.

Suddenly, a green light flashed from the smoke. So fast! Even Bert in the state of "Wind Walk" couldn't dodge such a quick attack! With a sound of gold and jade entering his body, Bert, who was only wearing a magic robe, was actually shot directly by an arrow and flew out! A dark green arrow passed through Bert's shoulder and was nailed directly to the wall!

Only such a domineering weapon can shoot an adult through! Despicable! Before Bert could say a word, a mouthful of blood sprayed directly on the ground. The force of the crossbow arrow was so great that he was so badly wounded in his lungs that he couldn't say a word. At a distance of only a few meters, the speed of the crossbow arrow even exceeded the sound, and it was impossible to dodge at all! The short-range crossbow arrow completely restrained the magician, and there was no time to cast a spell!

The sudden change made Erin hang there on the spot, "Someone paid a lot of money for your life." The sneak attacker spoke. "Don't resent me when you go to hell. As soon as the words fell, there was a "whoosh", and another dark green crossbow arrow slashed through the smoke and pointed directly at Bert lying on the ground!

It's just that this time the crossbow bolt didn't hit the target, and a light blue magic spirit blocked only half a meter away from Bert. As soon as the bolt touched the magic elf, it vanished. Erin cast a small teleportation spell at the last moment, because of the instability of the cast, she could only teleport a small volume of crossbow arrows, and the magic collapsed and disappeared in the next instant.

"If you want to die early, then I will fulfill you first. "In the darkness, a steel crossbow arrow slowly moved its direction, targeting the petite Erin!

"Whoosh!" was the sound of three sharp weapons, and the two of them subconsciously closed their eyes. But after a long while, they didn't feel any pain, and the two opened their eyes in confusion. The sneak attacker who had been standing in front of him was clutching his arms, the steel crossbow was thrown aside, and he had the same three crossbow arrows stuck in his body.

"I've found you, Richard Ramirez. "What a familiar voice!" The two of them followed the sound, and three figures appeared in the place where Bert saw the shadow just now, one of them was Frank! The boy they met when they first came to the imperial capital! And behind him stood two men dressed in black, dressed like Richard!

"I didn't expect it, right? There are still people in the place where I have already investigated. Frank at this time was completely different from a year ago, and there was a hint of coolness in his still childish tone.

"You're old, Richard. I've been looking for you since the day you defected from the Assassin Guild, and I know everything about your detective skills and assassination methods. Richard broke the bolt on his body with great force, and with his left hand, he sneaked out another crossbow hidden behind his back from the shadows!

"Ahh A crossbow bolt pinned his hand firmly to the ground. Erin couldn't stand this bloody scene and turned her head away from looking.

"Did you ever think of this day when you killed my father?" the boy couldn't see clearly in the moonlight, but he could feel his voice trembling.

"I have nothing to say if it falls into your hands today, if you want to kill or chop you up, why don't you say more. Richard gave up resistance. Faced with two assassins of the same level, and he was completely behind, he couldn't run if he wanted to. Three crossbow arrows could shoot through his heart at the same time the moment he turned.

"Two uncles, Richard will leave it to you, and I'll go see those two. The two high-ranking assassins shook their figures, and immediately appeared beside Richard, slammed him on the back of the neck, and then disappeared into the darkness.

"Bert, are you alright, sorry we didn't make a timely move. In order to capture an assassin of his rank, the best time must be seized. Frank jumped off the wall and leaned over to check on Bert's injuries.

"If it weren't for you, we'd all die here. Bert was injured in the lungs and couldn't speak, so Erin took out some medicine to stop the bleeding and put it on him.

"I've been tracking Richard, who had been very close to the Merovingians, probably the Richard they hired. Speaking of which, you also sinned against them to save me. Frank helped check Bert's injury, "Come with me, the Assassins Guild has a special priest, they can help Bert heal, you have to play tomorrow, the injury is so bad, it can't be compared." ”

Erin looked at Bert, the situation is indeed not optimistic, fortunately, the crossbow arrow passed through the body, if it remains in the body, I am afraid it will be more dangerous. In desperation, the two agreed to go with Frank.

Most people thought that the Assassin Guild would be hiding in a very hidden place, but Bert and Erin were stunned when they stood at the entrance to the Assassin Guild. It's hard to imagine that the Assassins' Guild is actually on King's Road, but the main entrance is an antique shop, and the back door is the entrance to the Assassins' Guild.

Erin held Bert and Frank knocked on the door. After a while, the door was opened a small slit, and a diminutive figure appeared behind the door, "Who?"

"The crow returns to its nest. Frank was not shy about Bert and Eileen, and said the code directly.

The person inside glanced out, "Anyone else?"

"They were my friends who were injured while arresting Richard together. ”

The man hesitated for a moment, then opened the door.
