Chapter Thirty-Eight: Assassination
Vivian's mother Ahimi works in this magic shop, next to the street next to the magic equipment trading market, the façade is not big, but there are quite a lot of goods, magic stones, magic iron, magic crystals, magic equipment, miscellaneous like a grocery store, at first glance, it has no strength, but it is more than enough to bully Vivien, who lives at the bottom of the city.
Lin Lei found the door and walked in directly.
Originally, with Lin Lei's usual approach, he would probably find out the situation first, and then consider which means to use to solve the problem, but thinking that Vivian had been taken away for five or six days, and he didn't know what had happened, Lin Lei felt breathless, and something seemed to be beating suddenly in his head.
"Ah, this young master, welcome, ah......" As soon as Xiao Er saw Lin Lei at the door, he immediately nodded and looked like a grandson.
Lin Lei came out in a hurry, he was still wearing the robe of a student of Noah Academy, and Xiao Er at the door suddenly felt that there was a big customer-everyone knew that most of the people in Noah Academy were rich and expensive, and there were few small shops of this grade like them, and they didn't see a few passing by all year round.
"What about the shopkeeper?" Lin Lei walked straight into the store, his face expressionless.
"Young master, wait a minute, the little one will immediately call the shopkeeper to come over. Xiao Er saw that Lin Lei was looking for the shopkeeper as soon as he came, and he was happy in his heart, it must be a big business coming to his door.
Xiao Er's ass ran to the inner room to find someone, Lin Lei stood in the store, his heart was pounding hard, and even his whole body was trembling slightly uncontrollably, walking around the store irritably.
Lin Lei was really afraid that what he was worried about had already happened, and if that was the case, he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself.
What is hidden in his character, Lin Lei knows very well, what he cares about most now, Lin Lei suddenly understood. If everything is irretrievable, he will choose to destroy everything, even ...... Including yourself.
At this time, Lin Lei realized that Vivian was in his mind, and unconsciously, he was probably already the only one.
The small storefront, at this time, only chatting about two customers came to the door, it seemed to be together, one was slightly tall and sturdy, the other was thin and lean, and they all seemed to be wearing obvious demon source equipment, and their eyes inadvertently revealed a cold light.
Noah City is famous for all kinds of magic-related equipment in the Southern Regions, and the city is naturally also full of all kinds of magicians and demon warriors, like this street that specializes in selling low-grade equipment and materials, real magicians are naturally not looked down upon, but it is the first choice for demon warriors who can't afford to buy high-end equipment.
The two of them looked east and west in the store, seemingly just casually strolling, and after a while, they turned behind Lin Lei.
Lin Lei was full of thoughts, and he only regarded the existence of the two as ordinary, and ignored them after a glance.
There are many kinds of demon warriors, among which the most low-level demon wars go are all kinds of demon war mercenary groups.
These low-level magic wars usually only have the strength of first, second and third level magic, and their combat power is not enough to be collected by the nobles as high-level guards, and their loyalty is not reassuring enough, but they are unwilling to accept the constraints of the imperial military department, so those mercenary groups whose main business is to hunt and kill magical beasts and dig magic materials, and accept various temporary tasks are the best places for them.
As long as they give money, these people can basically do anything, killing people and setting fires are also common, there is no moral bottom line at all, in this Noah City, it can be said that it is everywhere.
I don't know how long time has passed, anyway, Lin Lei feels like a year.
Suddenly, the little guy in his mind became restless, as if he wanted to convey something to Lin Lei, but Lin Lei did not enter the spiritual world, and the idea conveyed by the little guy was quite vague.
Lin Lei was on the verge of going berserk, naturally he didn't have time to take care of the little guy who loved to be happy, and when he was annoyed, an inexplicable chill suddenly rose from his heart, Lin Lei's hair stood on end, and a feeling of extreme danger came out of thin air.
Subconsciously turned around, Lin Lei just saw a flash of white light around him out of the corner of his eye, unconsciously twisted his body, staggered out a few steps, his body was not yet stable, there was a stinging pain in his waist, and the blood had oozed out of his robe.
"Assassination?"
A thought flashed through Lin Lei's mind, and when he looked at it, the guests who were hanging out behind him just now were each holding a sharp knife with a cold light, and they were swooping down on him.
"How could there be an assassin who wanted to kill me?"
An incredibly chaotic thought flashed through Lin Lei's mind, but a tyrannical emotion that could no longer be suppressed also occupied his mind in an instant.
Between the lightning and flint, Lin Lei's conditioned reflex was general, and his left and right hands instantly outlined a dazzling arcane array, and when he just stood firm, the two fireball techniques were already extremely hot, roaring towards the two killers.
The two of them didn't expect Lin Lei to react so quickly, but his instinct, which had been tempered by a hundred battles, made them grab the shield in the store and block it in front of them in the blink of an eye.
Fireballs slammed into the shield, and the flames of the explosion swept through the storefront.
Although the two assassins blocked it with their shields, the fireball technique could not be underestimated even if it was a big road, and the power of the simple and rough could not be underestimated, and the two of them were blown up with their shields and knocked into the shelves behind them, and Lin Lei was too close, and he was also swept out of the gate by the air waves, and fell firmly on the street.
Lin Lei's face was like black charcoal, and his whole body was torn, but the combat consciousness that he had trained on the battlefield in the virtual world of online games made him clearly know that the two killers must not be dead, and as a pure mage, if they were allowed to get close, they would only be the meat on the tip of someone else's knife.
At this time, Lin Lei had completely calmed down, and the scene of the unexpected encounter in front of him had already been experienced countless times in the virtual world of the game, and Lin Lei instantly entered the state of battle that had not been forgotten.
The game is like reality, and reality is just a game!
Ignoring the pain, Lin Lei forced himself to get up, stumbled and ran towards the crowd of scattered evacuees, the space ring in his hand flashed, and the modified amplification ball appeared in his hand - at this time, calling Tinas was obviously the best choice.
It's just that it's not so easy to leave.
The flames rolled out of the door of the store had not yet dissipated, and a white cold light had already flown like a meteor, Lin Lei was in a hurry, raised the amplification ball in his hand to block, and with a "ding" sound, the amplification ball was split into pieces in Lin Lei's hand, fortunately, the cold light was blocked, and he rubbed Lin Lei's body to the side.
Lin Lei pinched the palm of his hand that was numb from the shock, his face showed hideousness, and while quickly retreating, he stared at the door that was still smoking, and the space ring flashed a faint light continuously, and the magic source equipment that had been used in the magic show but had not been used to the end of the fun had been quickly put on his body.
With the help of the Demon Source Equipment, Lin Lei's retreat speed suddenly increased a lot, and with a flick of his feet, the whole person jumped back, and when his body was in the air, his palm was already aimed at the gate, and a magic mystery that was far beyond the ordinary size flashed like lightning and flint, and in the next moment, a fireball that was several times larger than the ordinary fireball technique, sandwiched with billowing flames, slammed into the floor inside the gate.
The earth-shattering explosion sounded almost as soon as the fireball was in the smoke, and the thick flames shot out from the doors and windows of the magic shop, sandwiching various debris, and the entire two-story building shook twice, and after a few breaths, it collapsed in the flames.
At the moment when the small building collapsed, a cyan ball protected the thin and fierce assassin from the flames, the ball shook twice and burst, the assassin did not stop, and quickly rushed towards Lin Lei, it seemed that he would not give up if he did not kill Lin Lei.
Lin Lei, who had just landed, had been swept away with his magic power at this time, and if he was bullied by the other party, it would definitely be dead or alive......
