Chapter Thirty-Eight: Artifact Again
The moment the old assassin man sneaked up to the carriage and stabbed Alice in the heart with a black dagger, my figure appeared in front of him, my fingers firmly on his dagger. With this finger, I have already used the eighth layer of True Qi, and I have made up my mind to hit him at least hard.
Unexpectedly, the attack of the sword god, which was enough to withstand the full force of the sword, was actually absorbed by most of the dagger, and in the end, although it knocked him away for several feet, he no longer had the strength to seriously injure him. Such a dagger must be considered an artifact, right? My eyes seemed to start to glow.
The old man of the assassin got up from the ground in embarrassment, with a frightened face, and muttered: "You are really a sword god, impossible, impossible, I won't believe it!" While screaming, he frantically pounced on me, the black dagger exuded a terrible suction under the blessing of his fighting energy, his speed was incomprehensible, his figure flickered, and the black dagger stabbed and swept and intertwined into a dense black giant net to trap me in it. And I wore flowers and butterflies to move and jump in the small space, narrowly dodging the black blade. From the scene, the old assassin seemed to have the upper hand, causing Philia and Alice to sweat tightly.
But in reality, with his subtle technique, his attacks were no threat to me at all. Although his speed was nearly twice as fast as the sword master he had encountered before, it was far worse than mine, his stealth was wonderful, but it was invisible under my spiritual sense, and his attacks looked ferocious, but in my eyes they were flawed and had little merit. In my opinion, his moves are all fierce attacks and fierce defenses, and he doesn't even understand the combination of virtual and real, and the truth of both function and defense, let alone the coordination of moves.
Eventually, the old Assassin found out that I was completely teasing him, and finally went berserk, attacking even more frantically. It's just that the more crazy the attack, the more flaws there are. It was really boring to fight, and I finally decided to take him out.
The figure flashed, in the frightened gaze of the old assassin, I snatched the dagger from his hand, suddenly approached his arms, and simply slapped his heart, this time, I still used the eight-layer true qi, but without the weakening of the dagger, this true qi was not something he could withstand!
Playing with the dagger in his hand, I looked at the assassin with a face full of resentment and trying to raise his head with disdain, now he has broken his sternum, and he is afraid of injuries, even a real immortal can't save him, and said coldly: "When you intend to hurt Alice, your fate is already doomed, today, you must die here!"
After that, he no longer paid attention to him who had fallen down, turned around and walked towards the carriage, and said to Philia, who had been worried: "I'm sorry for worrying you! However, in the future, you have to understand that your man is the strongest, so you don't have to worry about it because of a small role to find trouble." ”
Filia nodded excitedly, her face full of surprise. Alice, on the other hand, had already pounced on me and said excitedly, "Brother, you are so good! Alice likes you so much." I smiled and held little Alice up in the air and spun around happily, making her giggle happily.
With this episode, I realized that I had become Carter's enemy, and although it was now hundreds of miles away from Carter's border, I still had to be wary of sending people against us again. I didn't care, but I didn't want to be disturbed while I was having fun, so I was careful along the way, but it was calm and nothing happened
Five days later, we finally entered the territory of the Ottoid Empire. As one of the five major empires on the mainland, the Auser Empire has eighteen provinces and nearly ten vassal states, and its history, which can be traced back thousands of years, is now one of the oldest countries on the continent. Over the millennia, countless powerful states have been wiped out, but the Ottoid Empire has survived many twists and turns, apparently for its own reasons. The succession of kings of the Ottoid Empire was not simply appointed by the previous king, but the princes were first given jurisdiction over a territory. Without anyone's help, whoever can govern the realm best will be the new heir to the throne, and the failed prince will only be a lord.
The current king of the Ottoid Empire is Rocala #8226, and Philicus, thirty years ago, when he was a lord, his territory was the province closest to the Elven Forest, Bika. There, he met Joe, the current Imperial General of Santes #8226, and with Santes' help, they entered the Elven Forest and formed an offensive and defensive alliance with the Elves. He is responsible for fighting the slavers in his territory, while the elves leave his specialties entirely to him. As a result, exquisite magical jewelry and delicious fruits attracted a large number of merchants to his territory, making the province of Vica one of the most prosperous provinces in the Otto, thus making him stand out as the king of the Otto. And the Oss Empire has also become the first empire on the continent to explicitly prohibit the capture and sale of elves. Pica Province has also become the only province outside the Elven Forest where elves can be seen everywhere.
Along the way, because I was in a bit of a hurry, both Alice and Filia were already very tired, and I was distressed to see it. So when we entered Wasteland, the first city in the Ottoid Empire, I decided to rest in the city for a good day before hitting the road.
Wasteland City is not far from the border, and the entire city is surrounded by low stone walls. Because of its location in the desert, the barren land and the lack of arable land, coupled with the constant attacks of thieves, the wasteland city is not prosperous. The only inhabitants of the city, except for some old people who could not leave their homeland and merchants who provided liquor stores and inns for passing caravans and mercenaries, were only the guards and generals stationed here.
The car stopped in front of what appeared to be the largest inn in the city, and I jumped out of the car, turned around and opened the door, helped Philia down, and then picked up little Alice, and walked into the inn with my arms. And Filia had already veiled herself and quietly followed behind me.
The food in the inn is really difficult to satisfy us who are used to eating delicious food, not only Alice, but even Philia is also a light taste, but fortunately we still have the food we have prepared before, so we are finally half full. After dinner, it was still early to see that the time was still early, and the active Alice decided to go out to have a good look, Philia and I have always been fond of her, so naturally we will not refute her interest, and Xiao Yu, who has been standing on Alice's shoulder, is also excited.
Naturally, there was nothing to do in the deserted city, so we were soon pulled by Alice to the door of the bar. Unlike other places, this place is brightly lit and full of people, and Alice, who likes to be lively, naturally won't let it go, and crashes into it. I smiled wryly and shook my head, and quickly pulled Philia in. The bar is mixed, it has always been a meeting place for mercenaries and adventurers, and the complexity inside is not something that simple little Alice can understand, so I have not taken her to the bar all along. But now, it's too late to stop it.
As soon as I entered the bar, I found that the inside of the noisy bar had fallen silent, and the people inside were all looking at Alice. Now Alice, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with golden hair, tied with more than a dozen small braids, beaded flowers, embellished on it, making her look pink and cute, coupled with the small feathers on her shoulders, completely attracted the attention of the mercenaries for a while, but she didn't care about our appearance at all.
"What a lovely little sister!" spoke a beautiful girl with purple hair and blue eyes, dressed in a sacrificial robe, and next to her, two male swordsmen, a male magician, and unexpectedly an elven archer. This is the first time I've seen elves since I've seen so many elves in the Alliance Mercenary Regiment.
"Sister, you are also very cute!" little Alice said innocently, but her words made the girl opposite cry and laugh.
The girl walked up to Alice, looked at her red face, couldn't help but reach out and pinched it, and said, "It's really cute!" Little Alice glanced at her angrily, but Xiao Yu had already quickly flew up and quickly pecked at the girl's hand. It doesn't forget the task I assigned it to protect Alice, and now that Alice is being 'bullied', it naturally wants to help retaliate, but fortunately it also knows that the girl has no malicious intentions, so it just pecks lightly. But after all, it is a holy beast, and even if it is a light bite, it is not so easy to bear.
"Ouch!" the girl exclaimed, and her companions hurriedly gathered around her, not knowing why.
"That little bird, it bites me!" the girl looked at the triumphant little feather on Alice's shoulder in amazement. "Humph!" Alice pouted, "who told you to pinch my face!"
Philia said angrily: "Alice, don't be naughty! Sister just likes you, how can you be like this? And Xiao Yu, you are not well-behaved!" I also glared at Xiao Yu fiercely. I had already told Filia and her daughter everything about Xiao Yu, so although they couldn't communicate directly with Xiao Yu like me, they already knew that Xiao Yu could understand what they said, and they had always treated her like a child.
Seeing Xiao Yu's nod in confusion, the eyes of the girl and her companions were full of surprise and love, and the eyes of the people around her began to become strange. The higher the IQ of Warcraft, the higher its rank, and such a smart bird is obviously not an ordinary Warcraft pet. The girl quickly recovered and said, "My name is Kelly, hello! I was not good just now, I can't blame Alice!"
