Chapter 71: A mage who can't melee is not a good warrior (5th watch)
Even when she said her identity, Jiang Qiyi's tone was very flat, as if she had answered this question to others countless times.
Roy decided to change the subject: "At the farewell party, Klein mentioned you to me, but I didn't find you at the time. ”
"I see, you should have come after seven o'clock."
Jiang Yiyi nodded, "You're late, I attended the farewell party for an hour from six o'clock, and then I went back to the laboratory to continue researching the topic."
"Later, Klein also mentioned you to me, and he said that you are a very powerful inheritor of my age, but since I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I have reservations about it."
"You're still ...... It's really rigorous. ”
Roy was a little crying and laughing, "Looks like you and Klein have a good relationship." ”
"My parents were victims of the marriage between the Jiang family and the Florentine family, and by blood, Klein was my distant cousin." Jiang replied.
Victim......
Roy choked for a moment, feeling like he was talking to death again that day.
He prides himself on being a stuffy gourd, but Jiang Yiyi is even more heavyweight, and the level of not being able to chat is still above him.
However, Jiang Qiyi and Klein should only be three years apart, and they are actually separated by a generation, which can be regarded as a characteristic of a big family.
Even if everyone in this generation is the same age, everyone's marriage period and the age of having children are different, and after a long time, in later generations, there will occasionally be uncles and nephews who are about the same age.
After saying nothing, the carriage drove to the lower town and stopped at the door of the funeral home under Roy's guidance.
Jumping out of the carriage, Roy stretched his somewhat stiff muscles.
The carriage was spacious, but it was filled with supplies that Crane was going to deliver to Black Flag, and there wasn't much to stay.
He also had to be careful not to press the supplies, which made him sit very awkwardly in the carriage.
Pushing the door into the funeral parlor, a Mediterranean head poked out of the compartment in the room:
"Got guests?"
"Happy New Year, Manager Green." Roy nodded.
"Isn't this Mr. Luo, Happy New Year!"
Green's face was full of smiles, and then he turned back and called, "Elena, Mr. Law is here!" ”
"It's coming, it's coming!"
Alina hurried over and poured tea and water for Roy, "Is Mr. Luo here to find Big Brother Bob?" ”
"Yes, I have a friend who has made an appointment to meet him."
Roy pointed to Jiang Qiyi behind him.
Elena looked embarrassed: "However, Brother Bob went to the wilderness with the people in the group on the day of the Apocalypse. ”
Roy was stunned: "Didn't he mention that someone would come to him?" ”
She shook her head in confusion.
Roy pondered for a moment: "Then I'll go to the stronghold of the dungeon and have a look." ”
"Okay, is there anything else I can do to help?"
"No, thank you for your concern." Roy got up and left a silver coin on the table.
Green saw it in his eyes and smiled from ear to ear: "Oh, Mr. Luo, you are all familiar with people, and you are polite to us." Elena, why don't you thank Mr. Luo? ”
"Everyone is a friend, and it's right to help each other."
Roy got up, "By the way, Elena, I'll help you give that bottle of paper flowers to Ke...... Sherlock, he said he liked it. ”
"Really? That's good......"
Elena's face flushed, and she bowed deeply to him, "Thank you, Mr. Luo!" ”
Walking out of the funeral home, Jiang Yiyi, who had not spoken just now, spoke: "Sherlock should be Klein's pseudonym, right?" ”
"You know a lot." Roy laughed.
She pursed her lips: "...... He used to use this pseudonym in front of me as well. ”
In order to prevent her from talking to death, this time Roy did not answer easily, but said: "We have to go to the dungeon next, there should still be people in the stronghold of Black Flag there." ”
He had been to Black Flag's stronghold in the dungeon with Hitomi Eun, so he didn't waste too much effort, and after coming to the dungeon, he quickly followed his memory to the door of the stronghold.
"Da Da Da ......"
Roy knocked on the door.
"Da Da Da ......"
"Da Da Da ......"
There was silence all around, and the crisp knock on the door seemed particularly lonely in the dull atmosphere.
Roy frowned: "It's not going to be all gone, right?" Didn't you communicate well in the handover process? ”
At this time, he suddenly heard footsteps in the house, and someone on the other end of the door asked, "Who?" ”
Roy raised his voice and said, "Hitomi should have mentioned to you that we are here to deliver supplies to Black Flag. ”
There was silence for a while, and then the door was opened a little gap, and a middle-aged man dressed as a mercenary glanced out of the door, and finally fell on the two of them:
"Just the two of you?"
Roy nodded.
"Come in." He opened the door, "The situation has been tense lately, and everyone is quite cautious. ”
"It's good to be cautious ......"
Roy glanced inside the room, "How many of you Black Flag are left in the city, is the situation in the wilderness so tense?" ”
"There weren't a few people." The middle-aged man said casually, "All mercenary groups in the wilderness are fighting, and there is a need for manpower everywhere." ”
"Why did the fight start? Is it because of the competition for the location of the satellite city? ”
"Because...... I don't know!? ”
The middle-aged man was a little impatient, "You can't get in?" ”
Roy and Jiang looked at each other, neither of them moving.
"You smell it too?" Roy asked.
Jiang Qiyu nodded: "The smell of blood in the room is very strong." ”
The middle-aged man's face changed, he whistled, and several mercenaries suddenly appeared on both sides of the street, blocking the way of the two.
There were also a few people walking out of the house, and their clothes didn't look the same as the ones I remembered the Black Flag mercenaries were wearing.
Roy's heart sank.
"I see, you destroyed Black Flag's stronghold in the dungeon, it seems that you are members of the Northern Crow Mercenary Regiment."
Jiang Qiyi looked at the middle-aged man led by him, and said calmly, "The burning blood is in your hands, right?" I'm a researcher at the Institute, please give it back to me, and then go and confess and turn yourself in. ”
"Someone from the Institute? She's the heir! The mercenaries made quick eye contact, then took a step back and pulled out a tube of red potion from their arms.
On this side, Jiang Yiyi's expression remained unchanged, and his tone seemed a little helpless:
"I advise you not to drink it. The side effects of burning blood are enormous, not only will you lose your spirit, your appetite will be lost, your muscles will ache, your memory will fade, but it will also overdraw your life force, make your mind crazy, and have a very strong addiction.
"And most importantly, even if you drink, you won't be able to beat me......"
"Smack!"
The empty reagent tube was smashed to the ground, and the middle-aged man had scarlet eyes and a cruel sneer:
"Don't look down on uncle, little ghost!
"It's time for you inheritors who have no one in their sights to taste the bitterness."
Roy shrugged his shoulders and pulled out the dagger on his waist: "They are actually quite pitiful, they have never seen real strength in their lives, and they think that they will be invincible in the world after knocking out the medicine."
And when they gain power, they will only use more violence to oppress their fellow kind. So there is no need to persuade them, and there is no need to pity them......
"Just let them pay for it in blood, that's all."
"Oppression of the same kind? Ridiculous! ”
The middle-aged man felt the power gushing out of his body, shook his shoulders slightly, and a series of bean-like sounds came from his body, "We Northern Crows only recruit people from the city, how can the untouchables in the dungeon be qualified to be our kind?" ”
Seeing that all the mercenaries ignored their advice and drank the potion all, Jiang Qian couldn't help but rub his eyebrows with a headache, and then looked at Roy: "Leave it to me."
"The theft of burning blood is a dereliction of duty on the part of the Institute, at least these people, leave it to me to deal with."
Roy nodded and put down his dagger.
The Jiang family is a representative of the table, he has not seen the way of fighting, and he is also curious about Jiang Yiyi's strength level.
"Arrogance!"
Listening to her words, the middle-aged man led by him stared at the scarlet eyes, pulled out the machete at his waist and was about to swing it at her.
Who knew that the upper body was moving, but the lower body couldn't keep up for a while, and the feeling of lightheadedness made him lean forward and fall forward.
Seeing that he was about to fall, he subconsciously supported the ground with his hands, only to find that a swamp appeared on the ground at some point.
The swamp gripped his feet and palms like superglue, and even with the strength of his third-order berserker's body, it would be difficult to break free for a while.
Summoning the third order of skills:.
The victory and defeat had already been divided in an instant, and in the few seconds when the middle-aged man broke free from the shackles of the swamp, Jiang Yiqiu raised his hands high, and an ice giant hammer quickly took shape in his hand.
Summoning the third order of skills:.
Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, and with this skill, Summoning Stream can condense any form of weapon to assist in combat.
A hammer smashed the man's head, and the remaining mercenaries rushed towards her from all directions, Jiang Yan let go of the giant hammer, stretched out his right hand, and condensed a spear made of ice.
Throw out his spear and hit distant enemies, while condensing an ice sword in his hand once more, sweeping away at the swarming mercenaries.
The weapons condensed from the ice spirit are not only extremely sharp, but also have a frostbite effect, and the mercenaries who are slashed by the ice greatsword have a little ice crystal condensed from the wound, greatly limiting their ability to recover.
For long-range targets, she throws ice spears; For close-range group targets, she wields the Ice Greatsword; And if a fish slips through the net close, she will condense an ice hammer or summon an ice shield to fight.
At the same time, use other support skills such as swamp spells to pull the battlefield.
A mage's position, the way of fighting is so rich and varied.
Roy watched with relish, and now he realized that mages could play like this.
No, the other mage he came into contact with before that was Qin Liu, who was inherited.
She seems to be a melee mage too......
The melee inheritance is already so rolled, so don't come to grab your job again, okay!
However, Roy was sure that just as Qin Liu was an outlier, not everyone could be as comfortable as Jiang Qiyi in the face of so many enemies.
The reason why she can control so many weapons, have so many attack methods, and deal with so many battle situations is not because she is a summoner, but because she is Jiang Yiyi.
Perhaps only the Jiang family, who is represented by one seat, can study the combat method of this inheritance so thoroughly, and cultivate a practical combat master like Jiang Qiyi.
Behind her smooth and smooth flow, and it can even be said that she has a pleasing fighting style, it represents her control of the battle situation and her mastery of the eighteen martial arts of swords, guns and clubs, as well as the profound heritage of the Jiang family.
Not only does she have third-order strength at a young age, but her actual combat ability is even more terrifying, no wonder she has the confidence to go into the wilderness alone.
As the ice sword swept across the neck of the last person in front of him, there were no more mercenaries standing on the street, and the smell of blood in the air was also covered by a biting chill, which made people's noses sour.
Jiang Yiyi lowered her head, the ice in her hand turned into light blue stars and dissipated in the air, she lowered her eyes to look at the corpses all over the ground, and sighed slightly.
"Are you alright?" Roy walked over and asked.
Jiang Yiyi shook his head: "Let's go to the stronghold and take a look, there should be some clues inside." ”
In fact, when they smelled blood at the door, they already knew that the contact person of the Black Flag was afraid that it would be more than lucky.
Walking into the stronghold, in the back room, they found three corpses huddled in the corner.
The three bodies were bound with ropes, their bodies were badly deformed, all the bones from hands to feet were crushed to pieces, as if they had been crushed by a giant elephant, and the floor beneath them was covered in blood.
One can imagine how brutally tortured they were during their lifetime.
Roy crouched in front of the corpses, pulled out the mercenary tag from their collar, and confirmed, "They are indeed members of the Black Flag Mercenary Regiment."
"In other words, the contact person in charge of answering has been killed."
"Roy, look here." Jiang came to the cubicle and found a survivor.
There were no serious injuries on his body, and there was a thick scratch on his arm, but the wound had healed, but the person fell to the ground and passed out.
Roy walked over and pulled out the mercenary tag from his neckline as well.
"This is the Northern Crow's mercenary."
He took a deep breath, "It seems that he has entered a period of weakness after taking drugs, and it should be the contacts of the three Black Flags he tortured." ”
When the Northern Crow wanted to assassinate the Nightingale before, considering that she was the inheritor, she acted quite cautiously, and none of the people involved in the assassination carried a mercenary tag that could prove her identity.
And this time, they didn't do anything to cover up the stronghold of the Black Flag, because the mercenaries who had been drugged dealt with ordinary people, the battle situation was overwhelming.
If they had come a little later, the Northern Crows would have slipped away after they had succeeded.
Or calmly clean up the crime scene, and then change into the clothes and tags of the black flag mercenaries, so as to deceive the people who came to the door.
Jiang took out a tube of light blue potion, stepped forward, and fed it to the unconscious Northern Crow mercenary.
"What is this?" Roy was a little curious.
"If taken in time, the countermeasures of burning blood can slightly reduce the side effects of burning blood on the body."
Jiang replied, "It's just that even if you drink the countermeasure medicine, the damage caused by the burning blood to the human body is still serious and irreversible, so it will be abandoned by us." ”
Soon after taking the blue potion, the Northern Crow mercenary woke up slowly, and when he saw the strange two people in front of him, his face couldn't help but change.
He found that his hands and feet were firmly tied.
And even if he wasn't tied up, he knew that he couldn't escape, and after taking the drug, he was now extremely weak, and his head was groggy, let alone resisting.
"Awake?"
Roy squatted in front of him, gesturing a dagger in his hand, and said lightly, "Tell me everything you know." ”
