"Damn it!"

Looking at the oncoming flames, the Crouching Tiger King smelled danger. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

He rolled to the side despite his image, but he was still a beat slower, and was engulfed in the incomparably hot dragon flame.

The Crouching Tiger King condensed a shield of vitality and tried his best to resist the onslaught of the flames. A wave of heat swept through the banquet hall, and everyone couldn't help but retreat. And the clothes of the Crouching Tiger King were soaked with sweat in an instant, but then, the clothes were strangely dried.

After a few rounds, the Crouching Tiger King was dehydrated and collapsed to the extreme, and only the instinct to survive was still supporting him.

Albert was also uncomfortable, and although his strength had improved, this time he released the dragon flame breath, and he still used up all his mana.

His consciousness was drowsy, and his incomparable tiredness rushed like a tsunami, and the will that supported him was like a small boat, in danger of being destroyed at any moment.

Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, a wind blade roared towards Albert. While the heat undid most of the Wind Blade's damage, even a light breeze was enough to break Albert's back.

"Bang!"

Albert fell to the ground with a bang, and the scene in front of him became more and more blurred, and he closed his eyes reluctantly.

At the same time, the dragon flames vanished, and the temperature of the banquet hall plummeted, returning to calm, as if nothing had happened.

Only the five-centimeter-deep ravine melted by the flames proved that it was indeed real.

"Whew. The Crouching Tiger King breathed a long sigh of relief, and still had some lingering palpitations.

"It's good that you're okay, Chief. The leader of the magicians who had just made a sneak attack hurriedly stepped forward and hugged the Crouching Tiger King, as if he was asking for the Crouching Tiger King's praise.

"Why did you make a move?" the Crouching Tiger King turned his head and stared at the other party deadly.

"Because you ......" As soon as he spoke, the magician leader saw the gaze of the Crouching Tiger King, and his words came to an abrupt end.

Oh no, he thought to himself, he realized his mistake in an instant, the Crouching Tiger King is very face-loving, he rescued the Crouching Tiger King, and he was telling everyone that the Crouching Tiger King couldn't beat a six-star magician. "I beg your pardon, I know you're invincible, but you don't have to take a bastard too seriously. He swallowed, and immediately changed to a flattering expression.

"Don't have a next time. The Crouching Tiger King snorted coldly, "I hate people who pretend to be smart. ”

"You're right. The mage leader nodded repeatedly.

The Crouching Tiger King nodded and looked at Albert, "Tie him up." With that, he slowly walked out of the banquet hall.

From time to time, heart-rending screams could be heard from inside the grotto.

Padwin kneaded the girl's peak, galloping wildly, while also admiring the girl's pained expression.

"Boom. ”

At this moment, the stone door of the cave suddenly opened.

"Damn, who is it!" Padwin cursed, and when he looked back, it was the Crouching Tiger King standing in the doorway. "You should knock on the door first. He said angrily, reluctantly pulling out of the girl's body and putting on his nightgown, "Find me something." ”

"Something went wrong. The Crouching Tiger King said lightly, glancing at the girl on the bed, who was also his woman.

"What's going on?" Padwin asked, his expression softened a bit, if the Crouching Tiger King thought it was a minor problem, it must be a big/trouble.

"I've caught an ancient mage. The Crouching Tiger King said calmly, "This is the person I mentioned to you, and you have seen him today, if you have time to raise your head at that time." ”

Padwin frowned, "How did the Elder Mage end up here?"

"That's exactly what I'm worried about. The Crouching Tiger King smiled, "If it's appointed by the Mage Guild, we're in danger." ”

"Probably not, the Ancient Mage is the treasure of the Mage Guild. Padwin said in a deep voice, "What are you going to do?"

"I'm afraid it could be worse. The Crouching Tiger King shook his head.

"It's really troublesome, and it's not a big problem to kill the ancient mage, but if we track down the gold mine, we'll have no way to make money. Padwin rubbed his forehead, "Let's go, Brother Crouching Tiger, take me to see the Ancient Mage." With that, Padwin changed into a loose robe.

I don't know how long it took, but Albert woke up.

He looked around and saw that he was still in the banquet hall, but with an extra chain that bound him tightly. There were people standing around, and in front of him sat two people, the Crouching Tiger King with a gloomy expression and Padwin with a playful face.

"You're awake at last, Aber, my old friend. Padwin said condescendingly. "Oh, sorry, I forgot it was a fake name. He shook his head and stared at Albert's face, his eyes full of mockery and disgust, "It should be Albert, the famous ancient magician of Blackwater Castle, and the former wanted criminal of the Buffia Empire - Albert Violet." ”

Albert was stunned and did not speak, but looked at his body. It seems that he has not been in a coma for long, why has the effect of the Transfiguration Potion disappeared?

Just then, Padwin spoke again.

"I know what you're thinking. With that, he took out a knife and shaved the dirt from his nails.

After a moment of silence, Albert smiled calmly, "Recovery potion." ”

"That was supposed to be my line, 'smart' Albert. Padwin said with a little irony, "Want to know why I knew you used a shapeshifter?" he asked Albert to prove to everyone that he was smarter than Albert, even though it didn't make sense.

Albert chose to remain silent, ignoring Padwin, who was eager to prove himself.

"Intuition. Padwin said to himself, "I'll never forget what you have done to me." ”

"So you're going to kill me?" Albert said lightly, looking around, "It seems that my wish will be granted, and this gold mine will soon be exposed to everyone's vision." ”

"So what?" said Padwin, gritting his teeth, "you ruined my plans, don't think I don't know you saved Joanna." ”

"You ought to be glad that Count Rose is a coward. Albert's tone was calm, but he cursed Padwin inwardly and pondered how to get out of here. He dared to assure that Padwin would not be able to kill him, and that the greedy Crouching Tiger King would not allow the gold mines to be exposed.

Sure enough, the Crouching Tiger King, who had always been silent, patted Padwin on the shoulder and looked at Albert, "Let me talk to him." ”

"Don't forget that he killed your three brothers. Padwin snorted.

"Thank you for the reminder. The Crouching Tiger King said expressionlessly, his heart filled with anger. Nearly a thousand of his men, three of his right-hand men, were all killed by Albert, and he knew it. This Albert was so hateful that he killed all the scouts who came back to deliver the news, and if it weren't for Padwin telling him all about it, I'm afraid he would still be in the dark.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you. The Crouching Tiger King looked at Albert in a calm and frightening tone.

"And then, are you going to imprison me like this?" said Albert, in a calm tone, "I don't think that's a good idea. ”

"I guess if you go back to the Buffia Empire, you're going to be treated. The Crouching Tiger King said with a smile, he had already thought of a plan, "The Mercenary Guild under the Mage Guild has revoked the wanted warrant, but you are still a wanted criminal in the Buffia Empire. ”

"Are you going to send me to the Buffia Empire?" Albert's expression did not change in the slightest, not that he was not afraid of death, but that he knew that it was impossible.

Even if he goes to the Pafia Empire, the Mage Guild will rescue him, Albert thought to himself, after all, not everyone can become an ancient mage.

Of course, the price must not be small, at least it will owe a lot of favors.

However, Albert felt that things would not be so simple, and as far as he knew in the past few days, the Crouching Tiger King was not so stupid.

"That's right, but not to the Palazzo Palpita Court, or to prison. The Crouching Tiger King's expression finally changed, revealing a cruel smile, "That's a good place, a stage for the winners." No one can find you, not even the Algorithmists Guild. He stood up and put his foot on Albert's cheek, "Bastard, you're going to love it." ”

"You'll regret it. Albert's words were blurred, but everyone read the meaning from that almost fire-breathing gaze.

"We didn't get a chance to see each other again, and no one ever made it out alive. The Crouching Tiger King said with a smirk.

Albert didn't continue, still figuring out what the Crouching Tiger King was talking about. The winner, the stage, the Crouching Tiger King left him too few hints. Of course, the Crouching Tiger King must not want him to know.

It seems that there is only a chance to adapt, Albert thought, at least he still has a chance.

At midnight, the evening breeze echoes through the mountains and forests.

The two robbers carried Albert out of the cave and put him in an iron cage.

"You're going to send him to the Buffia Empire?" Padwin frowned, looking at the Crouching Tiger King standing side by side with him.

"No, that's for Albert, and maybe for the spies who have been planted around me. The Crouching Tiger King said calmly, "Stormwind is the destination." ”

"Stormwind?" Padwin was stunned, then gave a look of realization, "You're such a cunning fellow. He nodded approvingly, "Yes, there's no safer place than that." ”

"Then trouble Master Padwin. King Crouching Tiger smiled politely.

"You're going to let me go escort?" Padwin's expression froze, "Shouldn't you come for this kind of thing?"

"I can't leave here. The Crouching Tiger King shook his head, "If I'm gone, my restless fellows will definitely do something." ”

"Okay. Padwin said helplessly, "For the sake of the gold, damn it, I'm here for fun." ”

"I'll send someone to get more beautiful girls and wait for you to return. The Crouching Tiger King patted Padwin on the shoulder, "And I promise, you won't be lonely along the way." The carriage has the girl you love the most, but you have to keep an eye on her and don't let her run. ”

"No woman can escape from me. Padwin smiled.
