Chapter 148: Blood Dance
"Really went?" Calle looked at the ghost ugly with a nervous expression, compared to the calm of the ghost ugly opposite, his expression was very anxious, not only him, but the Scar Army Judge Faramir behind him was also a little unbelievable, what the concept of five thousand people was Everyone present knew it, but whether it was Calle or Faramir, they didn't expect Twelve's courage to be so big, he actually dared!
What's even more surprising is that Ghost Ugly completely agrees with Twelve's plan and doesn't find fault as usual, which is rare and bold, even though Calle knows that Twelve is the most capable of commanding among Ghost Ugly's three servants, Calle is still worried that Twelve is no match for the enemy, even though he has proven his abilities through battle before, it is still not enough.
Calle, the tactical guide operating in the rear of the enemy, doesn't know much, and Faramir is not capable of teaching, so this part is taught by Ghost Clown, what Twelve can fight, no one knows, compared to his own and Faramir's worries, Ghost Ugly seems to be quite confident, and then think about Ghost Ugly's habits, Calle knows that even if Twelve can't set off much of a storm, his opponent will definitely feel a lot of headaches.
Frontier of the Binis Empire.
In the middle of winter, no matter which country's farmers are in the house, only hunters will go up the mountain to hunt when the snow is closed, but in the mainland Hongdao, there is no winter here, so the residents here naturally don't know what snow is, but some knowledgeable people have seen wandering magicians perform ice magic, no matter who sees it, they will feel superior, and it will be used as a talking point, and they can taste it for a long time.
Therefore, at this time, a magician appeared in front of everyone, and he could also perform, which is an honor for a small border town, and it is also a strange story.
The border town, this is the name of the city, on the territory of the empire, they are not even a point, so on the border line of the territory, how many border towns, only the border guards and the officials in charge of this field know, here are lived by the hereditary generations of broken nobles, they are in a corner of peace, all the time are imagining the life of the high nobles, but the reality is the reality, many people also know this, so most of them enjoy the current status and the life brought by the status, three or five obedient slaves, and the body is still a bewitching maid, idle and boringIn the Binis Empire, the most lacking thing is not people who can ride horses, whether they are real horses or mare in brothels.
But recently, whether it is the residents of the town or those broken nobles, the topic of conversation is not these, but there is a very mysterious magician in the town, he can actually ice magic, in the center of the town, he alone created a border town has never seen snow, for a time shocked, the news spread quickly, and those nobles want to treat it as a guest, this kind of border land, whether it is a knight or a magician, it is very rare, so even a magic apprentice, in their opinion, is a very powerful person, not to mention that the magician himself is a very powerful person。
He is a mage, a second-level mage, with powerful magical powers, and he is also the rarest ice mage near Hongdao, such a person is to be offered!
However, this mysterious and young magician refused everyone's invitation, and lived in the only inn in the town, just asked for white water and bread and then closed the door, no matter who it was, no matter who it was, the legend of the magician temper is very strange, seeing this magician behaved like this, everyone did not dare to disturb, but the owner of this inn was excited, his own small shop is the first time to live in such a big person, and his business must be very good in the future! Every time I think of this, the innkeeper is so beautiful that his nose bubbles.
But this magician is really weird, every day he eats only bread and white water, and he doesn't want anything else, even if he wants to make a trick through his craft, there is no way, and a silver coin of this magician is his monthly income, but as long as white water bread, it is really a little wrong, so the innkeeper makes the best bread with his own best flour, and puts the best well water every day, and then waits respectfully outside the door in person.
For the innkeeper to do these things, this strange magician just calmly accepted, but for those nobles invitation, he was very decisive to refuse, but this behavior did not cause the anger of those nobles, on the contrary, they just waited quietly, handed over their invitations every day, and then waited for the magician to respond, these nobles did not want to take this powerful, mysterious magician for their own use, because all the nobles knew how many pounds and taels they had, and wanted to support a magician, that was a fantasy。
What everyone thinks about is just to let this mysterious and powerful magician come to the house as a guest, the first one is the best, then there will be the capital to brag with other families, and the light on the face will naturally be able to live more comfortably, so as long as this magician does not leave, then everyone has a chance, looking at the age of this magician, it should be in his early twenties, is it looking for some common hobby of men?
Many nobles have thought of this, so many prostitutes and prostitutes wander around the hotel from time to time, hoping to get the blessing of this magician, but the smart nobles think more, if this magician can take a fancy to the children of his family, then in the future, can he also prosper the family with this?
There are not a few people who think of this, so the aristocratic ladies who are rarely seen, whether they are tall, short, fat or thin, have also come to the hotel, in order to stand in a better position, some young ladies are secretly competing, and several noble ladies are even injured.
The nobles do this, but the commoners do it differently, some people also release their own girls, but more smart people put their own girls at home, not allowed to go out, if the magicians don't look down on them, compete with the nobles and offend the nobles, or be favored by the nobles and never see each other again, whether it is the former or the latter, it is a disaster for the civilians who have lived a very hard life, you know, there will be some girls' corpses outside the town from time to time, how did it come, everyone is in the heart of the mirror but the atmosphere is not daring to breathe。
Even when they knew that the enemy was in front of them, they had to force a smile, flattery, and even the courage to spit behind them.
Because of this, many commoners wanted the magician to leave sooner, while the nobles, on the contrary, hoped that the magician would stay for a few more days.
Whoever it was, the wait seemed like a long time, but in reality, it was only five days, and after five days of waiting, the magician finally made a move.
"Thanks to your hospitality, I will be giving you a snow show in three days' time, and I hope you will enjoy it, and the venue will be in the small square in the center of the town. With that, the magician returned to his room with his bread and water, and the stunned innkeeper opened his mouth first, and then let out an abrupt scream, and ran downstairs to spread the news through the prostitutes and ladies of the nobles in the inn, and for a time the border town was in a frenzy.
When the magician came, he was standing by the pond in the center of the town, and the snow fell in his hands, and in less than ten breaths, the water of the small pond froze into ice, and the magician slid straight over and snapped his fingers, and the ice on the pond melted as fast as if it had never been frozen.
And now this magician actually said that there was a performance, how could this not be exciting, immediately the nobles issued a summons, in the central square of the town to build an observation platform, all the slaves in the noble mansion can be transferred out, one day, a simple observation platform was built, and the next day, they built a performance stage for the magician, although the magician did not say but this is not a reason not to build, so in two days, everything was ready, everyone was preparing for the third day of the performance.
In order to share this performance, many nobles called their friends, and even alarmed the nearby border guards, and after hearing that there was a magician, the nearby soldiers were also ready to move.
Now that the empire occupies a lot of land in the Kotler Empire, and the military is flourishing, there is no vital point in this kind of border, and even the bandits are too poor, what is there to prevent?
On the third day, as soon as the magician came out of the hotel, he was stunned, obviously he didn't expect that the small city of less than a thousand households was actually crowded with people, and the people in the whole city were on both sides of the road, hugging the magician forward, and when he arrived at the central square, the magician saw the wooden platform that had been built, and looked at the seats closest to the wooden platform, the magician showed a strange smile and walked up to the wooden platform.
After everyone was seated, the spell in the magician's mouth was recited, and a trace of cold air rose from his hand, and then converged into a stream, and finally turned into an ice ball, before people shouted in surprise, the ice ball suddenly changed, like a craftsman carving, the sleek ice ball began to slowly melt into a beautiful flower, the flower floated out of thin air, and then slowly fluttered, falling on the hands of an old nobleman, for a while all the envious eyes were focused on the ice flower on the old nobleman's hand The lines were very clear, and at this time the magician clapped his hands, leading everyone's attention back to his body。
"It's a great honor to have so many people come to see the show today, since it's a performance, it needs to have a theme, and my theme is blood dance. ”
Everyone was in an uproar, everyone looked at each other, they didn't know what this magician was thinking, it should be Xue Wu, could it be that this magician said something wrong?
Just when the nobles wanted to find the answer from their companions, the residents in the distance exchanged ears, the young magician snapped his fingers, and a miserable scream came from below the stands, and everyone followed the sound, but it was the old nobleman who had been excited to catch the ice flower just now slowly fell in a pool of blood, the sharp petals tore all the fat on his neck, cut off his arteries, and some petals were embedded in his face, his eyes were round, and surprise and horror jumped on his face.
That magician was right, it was a real blood dance!
Seeing the magician's gaze wander, the nobles sitting at the front were dumbfounded, because they were being enveloped by that gaze.
