Chapter 651: The Mystery of the Assassination
In an instant, the area was shrouded in a black mist that could not be seen, and the shouts and shouts of horror were mixed with the slight sounds of countless high-speed movements, and from time to time there was a short, crisp sound of metal clashes and the cracking of buildings. The flickering light could not tear through this oppressive darkness, and was soon covered up and swallowed up.
In the endless darkness, a flame of light burned above, and inside the flame of light was a slender palm, and the soft light illuminated the girl's delicate face, and the big eyes had turned silver, exuding a terrifying momentum.
Under the light flame, several ghostly figures wrapped in a rising black mist could be seen flying closer, and Eliza's coquettish voice sounded: "Light explosion!"
The soft flame suddenly became extremely dazzling, and suddenly burst open, and the ghostly figures fell out one after another like thunder, and the body of the black mist became much thinner, and some of the mist even burned white flames, accompanied by a terrible scream.
This blow of light was magnificent, and the surrounding thick black fog was like a snowflake meeting fire, which quickly dissipated under the force field of the light explosion, and the black shadows suddenly had no way to hide, and fled in all directions.
The black fog disappeared completely, and the nearby lights resumed illumination one after another, but many people were in a mess, and they could see that there were collapses everywhere, and the ground was covered with blood and cracks, and it took a long time for the situation to be controlled.
"Damn the darkness of the sky!Miss!are you alright?" Wesley, who was in charge of guarding Eliza, already had an extra large sword in his hand, and blood was dripping from the sword.
Eliza landed slowly, shook her head, and said, "I'm fine, Uncle Wesley, how are you doing?"
"Roy's injuries are severe, they seem to be poisonous and need to be treated immediately with purification, and two others have minor injuries that are fine. ”
Before Wesley could finish his sentence, Solanton's frightened voice rang out, "Oh my God!
I saw Mana's stocky figure fall to the ground. There was a dagger stuck in his back, and blood flowed all over the ground, black blood.
A faint milky white glow appeared in Solanton's hand, enveloping Mana, who remained motionless.
Wesley lowered his body to look at it and shook his head, "Don't waste your mana, this knife has completely shattered his internal organs and completely annihilated his life." Even if the dagger is not poisonous, it is impossible to save it. ”
In light magic, there is a ultimate "rebirth technique" that can restore annihilated lives and bodies, which is more powerful than the effect of resurrection potions, but there is a certain chance. And that's not all. This magic is extremely demanding, it cannot be practiced by non-gifted people, and the caster will pay a huge price, it is said that the entire White Cliff except for the Pope's crown, only the Holy Maiden of Light has this kind of liliang.
Although Eliza is a disciple of the Holy Maiden, she does not yet have the ability to perform reincarnation, let alone use it on a small character like Mana.
Wesley's words left Solanton in complete despair, and Mana was his cousin and a member of the same camp. The fat man has a flexible mind, accepted the assignment of a big man above, and did not hesitate to lie dormant in a small place like Gudan Town for many years, and made a lot of "political achievements", and now is the time to take off, after successfully catching the line of Eliza, becoming the Metropolitan of Yangshao King is just around the corner, but he did not expect to suffer such an accidental death!
Not only did the big man's calculations fail, but Mana died in the city of Garden. As a church leader. Solanton also has an unshirkable responsibility in this sensitive time. Once the rival faction seizes the opportunity to play the problem, it is likely that he will also become a pawn for sacrifice.
"Pastor Mana was stabbed to death?" Eliza, who was treating Roy's poisoned wounds, frowned, "Did the assassin have a living mouth?"
Wesley looked at the bodies of the assassins on the ground who began to melt automatically, and shook his head: "This is a strict professional organization, judging from the assassination just now, Mana's death should not be accidental." ”
"No matter what," Eliza slowly stood up, her eyes falling on the fat city lord who rushed over to inspect Mana's corpse, "City Lord Kraut, you should give me and the church an explanation." ”
Although he didn't suffer any injuries just now, at this moment, Kraut's body was already soaked in cold sweat, usually because of the shock he received from the assassination just now, and usually because of the current horror.
This time, he invited Eliza, Solanton and others to the banquet, in order to defuse the impact of the last alternate Light Knight incident. Although Solanton is only the head of a city-level church, a member of his lordship, behind Solanton is the Church of Light. The Church of Light is the spokesperson of the God of Light, the indisputable "guide" of mankind, and the divine right even overrides the monarchy of any empire or kingdom.
The relationship between Kraut and Solanton has not been very harmonious, but the real reason for this joint attack with Lord Wali is Tenixiu's promise that another person will take control of the church in Garden City, and there will be a great leap in cooperation and interests. To the surprise of the fat city lord, Tenixiu actually missed a small beast master "Richard", and it can also be said that Solanton miraculously reversed the situation, witnessing this moment Kraut regretted it.
This invitation was intended to send a positive signal and renew relations with Solanton, and secondly, to curry favor with Miss Eliza, the niece of the cardinal, a disciple of the Holy Maiden, but in his own territory, such a terrible assassination took place, and a local head of the church died. If this matter is big, I'm afraid that his position as the city lord will not be kept.
"Miss Eliza, I'm ...... I really didn't know that such a ...... would happen," the Lord of Fat City said incoherently, completely losing his usual clever speech.
"Dagger Brotherhood!" Solanton suddenly remembered something and called out, "Mana was assassinated twice by the Dagger Brotherhood on the way to Garden City, and this should be the third time!"
"I've heard of this organization," Eliza said thoughtfully, "but if it's just against Pastor Mana, it's impossible to choose this kind of time, Mana is probably just incidental, and I'm their main target." ”
When the fat city lord heard this, he woke up like a dream, and quickly echoed: "That's right, no matter what, this damn assassin organization will definitely not be able to get out of it! I will definitely do my best to investigate this matter, and report it to the royal capital, and uproot the dagger brotherhood in the territory!"
Whether it is the hand of the dagger brotherhood or not, this matter is to find a top cylinder in the first time anyway, and stabilize Eliza first. As for who is behind it and what the purpose is, this kind of deep-water problem with high jishu content is still left to the church itself to have a headache. As soon as he thought of this, the fat city lord immediately ordered the manor to be blocked, and expanded the scope of the search to the entire Garden City, strictly investigating unknown people, in fact, Garden City is so big, the strength and means of those assassins are good. It is certainly difficult to find out what the result is by the guards alone, and this move is more of a gesture.
Mana is dead, this meal must not be eaten, and the church must first stabilize these people. While offering a large sum of money and goods to comfort and appease these people in the church, the fat city lord arranged for people to clean up the scene.
However. Unexpected changes have happened again.
Eliza was casually listening to the compliments of the fat city lord, when suddenly a strong crisis was born, like a frog locked by a poisonous snake. This feeling was without warning in advance, it was completely out of the fighting instinct that had been tempered thousands of times, and at this time, Chen Rui's voice rang out: "Miss Eliza, be careful behind your back!"
Behind Eliza was a guard cleaning up corpses, shorter, but it was this inconspicuous guard. In the next second when Chen Rui's shout came out, a terrifying murderous aura suddenly erupted.
No one could have imagined that after the assassination incident, there would be a second assassination! Or rather, it was just a false shot in front of it, and this blow was the real kill!
The murderous target is Eliza!
In an instant, everyone felt that the entire sky seemed to turn into a sea of blood. Full of killing and death. All of them were affected by that terrible stress and had trouble breathing. The body was almost immobile, compared to the suppression of the dark canopy just now, it was just a child's trick, and this was only affected by the aftermath of the murderous aura!
A streamer with a terrible will to die, swept towards the heart of Eliza's back at an indescribable speed, Eliza felt the threat of death, the hairs on her body stood up, her eyes were silver, and a powerful spiritual power burst out, and at the moment of life and death, Eliza no longer hid any liliang.
All the people centered on her were shaken out by a powerful repulsive force, except for the will to die.
The streamer only paused slightly, and then hit Eliza's vest hard without a reduction in castration, but at this time, Eliza had already taken advantage of this precious pause to take advantage of the forward dumping force, not only weakening the liliang of this blow, but also moving away from the vital point.
Even so, Eliza still couldn't completely avoid the blow, and spat out a mouthful of blood, actually piercing a hole in the ground.
After Eliza was hit, she turned her body violently, turned her palm into a knife, and threw her arm out like a whip, and the "guard" behind her was unable to retract, and her left shoulder was hit by this palm knife, and she immediately snorted and flew out upside down.
A large fan-shaped crack appeared on the ground, which had extended nearly ten meters in an instant, and several tall pillars within the range were shattered and collapsed by the invisible aftermath, and the entire body of several guards who had no time to dodge burst open, which showed the liliang contained in this blow.
After the assassin missed a blow, he seemed to know that it would be difficult to make a difference, so he decisively chose to retreat, and with the help of Eliza's blow, in a few blinks, he had already escaped into the darkness.
Eliza covered her right chest, showed a painful expression, spat out another mouthful of blood, and shook her body twice: "Wesley, quick, send me back to church, let Paul help me heal!"
The Knights of Light quickly protected Eliza and headed back towards the church, followed by Solanton and Chen Rui with a group of monks, leaving the city lord in a cold sweat standing in place, momentarily at a loss.
On the other side, a short and thin figure dressed in a guard suit flew away in the night with his left shoulder on his shoulder, and suddenly, the figure stopped, looked behind him vigilantly, and found nothing unusual.
Just as the assassin turned around, he was shocked, and he saw that there was already a figure in front of him, his facial features were very hazy, only the eyes were burning and shining, and they seemed to exude a faint aura of destruction.
