Chapter 16: The Demon Slayer Knight
The east gate is the exit of the civilian area, and it is usually impossible to see humans moving around in the middle of the night, and even the guards sneak out to drink and party with their companions in this rare full moon night. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info The current east gate can be said to be the weakest moment of defense, there seem to be several black shadows wandering around, but in the next moment they disappeared strangely.
After a long time, Hong Qi also came to the outskirts of the East Gate in a pitch-black cloak, and the intuition of the monster told him that there seemed to be no one in front of him, only some nocturnal animals were looking for prey outside the city gate.
It seems that you have to use your head.
At this time, Hong Qi no longer relied on the intuition of the Demon Beast and opened the mage's vision, and at this time, the originally ordinary night scene suddenly changed into a world full of elements.
Darkness, moonlight, and alternative life elements filled the suburbs, but at this time, Hong Qi found some different places, one of the city walls actually appeared faint water element, if ordinary people look at it, they will only think that this city wall is a little damp, but as a mage, he can naturally know the name of this thing in front of him.
Obediently, it turned out to be the Gate of the Water Mirror, and it seems that this magical organization is not as simple as I imagined.
The Water Mirror Gate is a two-star spell that allows others to enter the caster's coordinates through the Water Mirror Gate, and can be cast only where the water element is particularly strong. That's why they chose the night of the Full Moon as the meeting time, where both the water and light elements are particularly strong.
While this may seem magical, there are many flaws, the biggest of which is that it can no longer be used to restrict access to people using spell encryption, which can be easily accessed by simply wrapping itself in a thin layer of water elemental, which is so simple that even a mage's apprentice can easily do it.
This flaw was instead exploited by the caster...... Not only can it make it easy for all the mages who stay in Deta City to enter it without being restricted, but it can also prevent the other party from seeing the true strength of the host, it seems that the other party can't assume that the other party is in the strength of the magician.
After seeing the true intentions of the spellcaster, Hong Qi finally collected his relaxed mind, because it was possible that he was about to face a more powerful existence instead of a magician who could only cast two-star spells.
Forget it, I don't have any ill will towards them anyway, what am I afraid of?
After the mentality is correct, Hong Qi gathers the water element to wrap himself, and then easily enters the door of the water mirror, if a passerby passes by here, he will see a person walking in with a walking posture facing the wall, and the next moment it disappears strangely.
After passing through the Water Mirror Gate, the light of the full moon was completely invisible here, and Hong Qi only found himself in an empty building, where the light was very dim, only a few oil lamps were burning in the middle.
1.2...... Well, there were more than 40 people.
Hong Qi looked around and found that the number of people here was far beyond his estimate, knowing that it was a miracle that there were so many magicians in one city when the inheritance was severed and the entire dynasty was hunted down, even if these people were magic apprentices.
After a closer look, he found that these people were vaguely divided into three parts, which seemed to be an organization, and each part had a strong man as the leader, and the aura of his demonic beast was far suppressed, which showed that their leaders were at least powerhouses of the level of magicians.
"Stranger?
At this moment, a sharp and unpleasant voice appeared from one of them, and then everyone's eyes were focused on Hong Qi. The feeling of being watched by so many people made him feel uncomfortable, unlike most of the ordinary people in the restaurant just now, the weakest here are all mage apprentices, not to mention those magicians who are really stronger than Hong Qi in the back. Although he was stared at by so many people, he still nodded his head to indicate that he would not respond after acquiescing.
"Are you here to join us, or are you going to see the magical message we left behind and have the mindset of just take a look?"
At this time, the voice pressed Hong Qi again, as if if his answer was not satisfactory to the man, he would plan to hurt Hong Qi.
Hey! Even a full-fledged mage dares to question labor, forget it, who told me to look at me as a weak and helpless mage apprentice in their eyes?
At this time, although Hong Qi had the idea of rushing directly to the other party and pinching his neck, he just thought about it.
"I want to learn spells!"
At this time, Hong Qi replied to this, because it was very normal for magic apprentices who did not have a teacher to teach them, and becoming a full-fledged mage after learning the spell was what they most desired, and they would even do anything for this purpose.
"Welcome, this is the Ole Alliance, what you desire here is very easy to do, don't scare newcomers, paws, be more sympathetic, I remember someone scared their pants just by feeling everyone's gaze." ”
At this moment, another voice appeared, which was mellower and softer than the person just now, but with a strange tone, and it was also a deliberately disguised falsetto.
"Don't laugh at me, egg, I want to avoid the Ole Alliance from encountering the situation last time, a self-righteous magic apprentice joined and thought that he had a backer and went to trouble the swordsman union, if it wasn't for the master's final action to solve the chasing soldiers and hide the traces, we would have been exposed a long time ago. ”
At this time, the paw also responded to the man.
"Okay, okay, you're going to have to pay if you want to learn magic, what do you call it? ”
At this time, the egg changed the topic back to Hong Qi, and Paw did not continue to speak, after all, he only relied on the other party's good temper to occasionally say a few words, and if he continued to say it, it was difficult to guarantee that he would be punished for disrespecting the leader.
Codename?
After thinking about it, Hong Qi naturally knew what he was going to take.
"Just call me a penguin. ”
"Penguins? Is that an animal? I don't think I've heard of it. ”
"I know the goose, but what exactly is a penguin?"
......
At this time, everyone was talking about it, and everyone was curious about this strange but unusually easy to remember codename.
"Penguin, what's the point?"
At this time, Paw also asked curiously.
"A rare bird. ”
Well...... It's a rarity here.
Hong Qi replied very honestly, and couldn't help but admire his honesty in his heart, after all, the other party used a code name to commend himself, but he used his real identity.
"Okay, penguins, huh?"
At this time, one of the two people in the center of the crowd finally spoke, but unexpectedly, his eyes swept over Hong Qi, and Hong Qi felt his intuition to let him leave quickly, because the strength of the other party was so strong that his body had a reflex to want to flee for his life, and he had to use his reason to suppress his instinct to barely move.
Crow's mouth, I really guessed it. This strength is definitely not only two stars, but even three stars......
Hong Qi couldn't help but regret his guess in his heart, and now he could only find a way to leave this place or join their organization.
"What's the matter? ”
Hong Qi asked, in the face of this person, you naturally have to use the honorific title of Mr., there is no way, who calls the other party stronger than you?
"If you want to join the Ole Alliance, you have to complete the mission. ”
The other party spoke lifelessly, like an old man on the verge of dying, but there was an alternative power in his words that made Hong Qi instinctively want to answer him.
"What task?"
"Tomorrow night there will be a masquerade ball in the banquet hall of the town hall of Deta, presided over by a demon slayer knight from the capital, whose name is Zil, you need to find out why he is here and let us know. ”
"Demon Slayer Knight?"
Hong Qi couldn't help but feel an inexplicable coincidence when he heard this, after all, he had just pretended to be a demon hunter not long ago, and although the two organizations were different, they had the same goal, to slaughter magicians.
"A kind of mage's nemesis, and we won't have anyone in the room to help you, because that person can easily sense the aura of a full-fledged mage, and can only use a mage apprentice to accomplish this task. So, penguin, are you still going to join our Ole Alliance?"
At this time, the other party asked again.
"I'm willing to do this difficult task. ”
Hong Qi also replied to the other party, although he had to deal with the demon slayer knight, but relying on his previous disguised identity may be able to easily find the information he wants.
"By the way, you also have to pay attention to the Demon Hunter Pannes, this person will participate in the masquerade ball, and the Demon Hunter is just as much a sinner who slaughters mages as the Demon Slayer Knight, so you have to be careful. ”
The other man continued.
...... He really guessed the fact that the demon hunters would attend the ball.
"I don't know what Your Excellency is called?"
"Just call me Starry Sky, you can leave first to prepare for the mission, remember to put on this special cloak when you go out, and we will send someone to pick you up and take you back here." ”
After the other party finished speaking, an equally black cloak appeared in front of Hong Qi, and he simply took the cloak and left directly.
"Starry Sky...... What do you say you see?"
Not long after Hong Qi left, another person in the center asked at the starry sky.
"I see...... The Hope of the Mage. ”
If anyone could see through the man under the cloak, he would see that he had bright eyes, as if the stars were surrounding his pupils, just as one would normally see in the starry sky.
