Chapter Twenty-Three: The Consciousness of Killing and Being Killed

In the early hours of the next morning. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Carl was woken up by his own alarm, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the blonde girl sitting on the edge of his bed and staring at him.

"Good morning, Carl. ”

"Not good. Karl said sullenly.

Sally stood up, brushed her hair, and walked out the door: "I'll wait for you downstairs, hurry up." ”

Carl rubbed his neck, got out of bed, washed up quickly, checked for nothing missing, and went out the door.

"It's slow. Sarister said with some displeasure.

Today, the Assassin Maiden was dressed in light gray cloth armor, with two swords and crossbows, one long and one short, on her back, and a pair of black gloves with fingers bared on her hands.

"Hmm. Carl didn't refute either.

After all, compared to the other party, he is indeed not professional enough.

Taking advantage of the dim sky, the two of them left the city without alarming anyone.

The Tomb of Auston was not very close to Aesop, and by the time the two of them reached their destination, it was already noon.

During the break, Karl sat down to meditate and adjust his state again, while Sally was on the sidelines, this place was less than two kilometers away from the Auston Tomb, and he could encounter the Blood Knife Mercenary Group or someone else at any time.

After more than ten minutes, Carl let out a sigh of relief and stood up: "Let's go." ”

Sally walked up to him and looked up into his eyes, "I have one last question, I hope you can answer me." ”

"What?" Karl didn't think there was anything else wrong.

"We're probably going to meet each other's people, no, we're definitely going to meet each other. "Are you sure you can kill a human like yourself?"

Carl was stunned for a long time, and suddenly laughed: "If they have the determination to kill, then they should have the consciousness of being killed." ”

"What about you?"

"Me too. Karl pointed to his heart, "I've been close to death twice, and I know you can't hesitate on the battlefield. ”

"Hmm. The girl whispered, "That's enough." ”

The tomb of Auston is built in a clearing halfway up the mountainside, with its back to this side of the stone wall more than ten meters high, the part of the tomb itself exposed above the ground is more than three meters high, and on both sides of the dark entrance stands a pair of stone pillars more than five meters high, each with a ferocious form of beasts entangled, and the top of the stone pillar burns a flame that has not been extinguished for 400 years.

There are four mercenaries in heavy armor standing at the entrance, Carl's heart is slightly cold, the wearing of heavy armor is very demanding for the user, for the mercenary profession with a high degree of freedom, there is no special training, the combat effectiveness of using heavy armor does not rise but falls, and the warriors who can skillfully use heavy armor often have stronger defensive ability than the light armor warriors of the same level.

These four are definitely the elite of the Blood Knife.

Luckily, heavy armor is not as resistant to elemental damage as spells.

Not only these three people, but there are also more than a dozen mercenaries patrolling the periphery, in groups of four, leaving no flaws at all.

"Looks like they're out of the nest. Sally observed and said to Carl.

"How do you sneak in?"

"I have a way, wait until it gets dark. Sally said, "Follow me." ”

Karl followed Sally in a large circle to the stone wall, and in this direction, there were no mercenaries patrolling because it was too far away.

The shadow of the sun was slanting to the west, shrouding the stone wall in shadow, and this was also the time when the mercenaries were tired.

Sally took out a handful of gray dust, sprinkled it on the ground, and stepped on it with her boot to get it on the soles, and Carl stepped on it.

"It's anechoic dust and it lasts for a short time. Sallyster instructed Carl, "Move fast." ”

Carl nodded.

Sally had previously tied a rope to a boulder above the stone wall and tested her endurance, the girl threw the rope downward, and then quickly grabbed the rope and jumped down, only the slight friction of the glove and the rope, and almost no sound came from falling to the top of the tomb.

Carl silently gathered some wind elements, briefly reduced his weight, and then fell down the rope in a similar way, but compared to the ease of the girl's one-handed slide, his movements were much stiffer, and he also grabbed with two hands, otherwise the wind element alone would not be able to support him.

"Dah. With a very low sound, Carl landed on the top of the tomb.

With a strange gesture, the rope broke from the top and fell into the maiden's hand, where she was put away.

Obviously, Sally also has her own spatial gear, but it's not a ring.

Sally jumped from the top edge of the tomb and hid in the shadows, and Carl followed.

"Get rid of the outside one on the left-hand side, and I'll lure them away, you go in first. Sallyster whispered to Carl.

Karl didn't ask the girl how to lure the other away and come back, but nodded in understanding.

The moment Karl nodded, Sally jumped out of the shadows, burst behind the target, grabbed the opponent's shoulder with one hand and pulled it back, stepped on the crook of the opponent's leg to make it unbalanced, and the short sword behind her back was already in her hand, stabbing into the gap between the target's armor and helmet, and then pulled out and jumped, bringing out a puddle of bright red blood.

One blow, one hit.

"It's the thief who killed the deputy head of the regiment, catch her!"

Immediately, some mercenaries reacted and raised their weapons to watch, because there were many people, but the other party did not dare to use crossbow arrows, for fear of accidentally injuring their own people.

"Humph!" said Sallyste, snorting coldly, and ran out.

The three heavily armored mercenaries were also angry at the moment, and their brother died at the hands of this woman in an instant, which was simply a slap in the face.

So he didn't hesitate to chase him out.

Carl took advantage of the momentary chaos to sneak into the tomb, but a sharp-eyed mercenary still saw it.

"She has accomplices!" shouted the little mercenary.

"Annoying. There was a hint of murderous intent in Sallyster's eyes, and the crossbow on her back and the short sword in her hand had swapped between a tumbling back, and a short crossbow shot shot at the throat of the little mercenary.

"Stinky, come up and catch her for me!" yelled a heavily armored mercenary.

"Catch her! she can't run away!" the mercenaries formed a circle around Sallyster in the center.

"She looks good, and blessed are her brothers when they catch her. A tall, lanky mercenary looked at Sallyster with an obscene look in his eyes.

"Kill it directly, so as not to have many dreams at night. Another heavily armored mercenary said in a deep voice. He looked taller than the other three heavily armored mercenaries, like the leader here.

"But. "What else did the lanky mercenary want to say.

"Carry out the order!" the heavily armored mercenary captain waved his hand, "Go straight and hack to death with a knife!"

Sally was surrounded by mercenaries, but she didn't look scared.

"Do you think you can really stop me," Sarliste put her crossbow back behind her back.

As soon as the words fell, Sally suddenly rushed towards the captain of the heavily armored mercenary at a very fast speed, and the other party sneered and slammed the battle axe in his hand, there were people around him, and it was impossible for the other party to pass through......

How can it be!

"Wear the palm. Sallyste's whisper.

The captain of the heavily armored mercenary only felt that the other party had only a slight contact with him, and then he lost his real sense, and staggered with him like a shadow, coming behind him.

As soon as he was about to turn around, he felt a force that was not weaker than himself hit his back, and he staggered forward, and the mercenaries around him were taken down instead.

Sally put away the cyan fighting energy on her palm, the other party's level is not lower than her own, and she can't use this to solve the other party, but it doesn't matter.

Thallyste sped up to the limit again in a single leap, and sank into the tomb gate.

The entrance to the tomb is a spacious hall with never-extinguishing lamps burning every three meters on both sides, reflecting the bluestone floor.

Carl was in danger at this point.

One of the mercenaries heard the little mercenary's shouts and chased after them, but Sally was unable to stop them all.

"Hahaha, I thought it was some kind of dangerous person, but it turned out to be just a first-level small mage. The chubby mercenary laughed wildly.

Sally is very dangerous, but the mage badge on the chest of this black-haired young man shows that he is only a first-level mage, although even if he is a first-level mage, his status is much higher than that of a bronze lower-rank warrior like him, which can be seen everywhere, but this does not mean that a first-level mage can beat a bronze lower-rank warrior, especially in a close-quarters state.

Benson looked at Carl, a trace of jealousy crossed his eyes, why can this kid become a noble mage, and he can only be a lowly mercenary!

But!

Today, a noble mage is going to die at the hands of a lowly mercenary of his own!

Benson's heart was suddenly full of fanaticism, yes, that's it, no matter how noble he was, he didn't want to die here.

Benson raised the one-handed warhammer in his hand and smashed it, the warrior's method of dealing with the mage was so simple that he couldn't let go of the spell!

Karl was just about to cast a fireball spell when he saw a hammer smash at him, and he had no choice but to retreat and dodge.

"What are you hiding?" roared Benson, "get on your knees and eat me with a hammer!"

Carl gasped, he suffered a certain amount of backlash after the fireball spell failed, his heart rate beat a lot faster, he was in a state of being unable to cast spells for a short time, and his actual combat experience was almost zero, if he had just dodged the opponent's attack and then fought back, the opponent would not have the strength to roar now.

Benson slammed the hammer again, and Carl didn't dodge it completely this time, being swept by the edge of the hammer, and his chest ached.

"Haha, you hide, hide again!" Benson laughed wildly and smashed hammer after hammer, "Are you counting on that woman to save you? impossible, there are so many brothers outside, I don't know if that chick can withstand it!"

Ignore the other person's verbal distractions.

Rhythm, Carl silently said in his heart, he was about to catch the rhythm of the opponent's attack.

The attack interval is 3 seconds to 5 seconds, the attack is 0.5 seconds before the attack, the attack is 1 second backward, the attack range is 1 meter 4, and the movement speed is 7......

Suddenly, Karl rolled behind him in a very awkward way, pulling a few meters away.

"Are you scared of Lao Tzu?" Benson rushed over with a hammer and smashed it down.

Forward swing, range, Carl rolled half a circle on the spot, just dodging the attack.

Swinging back, at intervals, Carl stood up with all his might, while chanting a spell in his mouth, magic surging from his hands.

Hitstun state, right now.

"Wind Bomb!" a distorted ball of air shot out of Carl's hand, hitting Benson as he raised his hammer to attack.

The opponent is in a state of stiffness before the attack, and cannot be evaded.

Bang, with a blast, Benson was knocked back a few steps, the iron pieces of the cuirass part were completely scattered, and now there was no defense at all, while the right hand holding the hammer twisted at an unnatural angle, and the hammer also fell to the ground.

"How dare you hit me!" Benson seemed a little incredulous, and then his expression turned hideous, "But it seems that a first-level mage can't use a spell or two, right?"

Picking up the hammer with his left hand, he rushed towards Karl.

It's you who die, you want to kill me, and I can't kill you, Carl whispered silently in his heart.

A red light appeared in his hand, and a fireball flew towards Benson.

Bensen's hideous expression suddenly became frightened: "Don't !!"

The fireball hit him in the head, and Benson screamed, but soon fell silent and fell to the ground.

Carl narrowed his eyes, and a wind bullet shot at Benson's corpse in his hand, but the corpse was bounced and there was no other movement.

"Well done, and that last moment also shows your prudence. Sally came in just in time to see the scene of Carl whipping the corpse, "But it's better not to waste magic so much. ”

Karl breathed a long sigh of relief: "Why didn't they chase in." ”

"There's a gate mechanism on the treasure map, and I activated it. Sally sat down next to Carl and pulled him to sit down, "They won't be able to get in for a while, we just have to face the enemies inside the tomb." ”
