Chapter 311: Retreat from the enemy
|||->-> the person kneeling next to him is already demented. Although there were not enough samples tested, Lin Ke did not think that ordinary people could enter and exit the high-dimensional world without any damage without protection.
And the two rows of soldiers in front of him seemed to be very puzzled by a person who looked very much like his own knight master, suddenly appeared and knelt beside the magician. There was hardly anyone who didn't turn their heads to look at where the lord was. It's a pity that the horseback is empty.
For a while, everyone was still blindsided, and they couldn't figure out what was going on.
But for Lin, he was equally puzzled. The two girls who were unprotected before, and were taken and flashed several times, vomited until they vomited bile. But this one didn't react at all, could it be that the knight has a better physique, so he can withstand such a ravage?
Suddenly there was a strange laugh, followed by meaningless syllables, which sounded like they were talking. Someone only felt bad for a while, and took off the knight's helmet rudely. There was nothing wrong with that face was still human, but his neck was turned at an angle beyond ordinary people, and his eyes were pitch black when he looked at Lin, interspersed with several tiny white pupils.
This situation and this scene made someone feel a chill. This is even more serious than high-dimensional pollution, and they are all possessed by monsters.
According to the original plan, the knight's head was cut off with a sharp sword. Lin also brutally stomped on his head, but the latter behavior was not in line with the style of the fan, and it was also unplanned.
Generally speaking, fighting between the same race will at least respect the dead; This is only possible when there are fights between different races, or if they are blood enemies or mortal enemies of each other.
But because the way that face looks is so scary. Lin didn't know if there would be any adverse effects if he left that head. The head has to be connected to the body to live, that's human. This is not necessarily the case with non-humans.
But there are still benefits to such a murderous act. At least someone stared viciously at the hundred or so soldiers, and the villagers who originally lived here. Just one glance made them scatter in terror.
Actually, this is a very understandable situation. When the person they serve dies, there are only two situations: one is to turn to the heir of the one they serve, if any; The other is that the birds and beasts are scattered, each returning to his own home. Unless it's a relative, there will be no subordinates shouting for revenge or something, and they don't have that qualification.
It is unlikely that this kind of thing will be stabbed up by this group of people to a higher level of aristocrats. If you are questioned why the lord died, but he is still alive and well, there are many people who go to the gallows for this reason.
And most importantly, what did this magician do? No one can read it. How did his lord kneel to that one? How did the proud assassin helper of his own knight master disappear out of thin air? Where did they go?
Although the painting style of the Lost Ground Master, after giving himself a boost, he went on a rampage like a berserker. But there is another kind of magician who is even more terrifying, that is, he doesn't know what he is doing, and his own people die inexplicably.
The fear of the unknown is the same everywhere and at any time. And this time, although only the knight lord died, that inexplicable way of death still made this group of young men who had turned from ordinary peasants to soldiers, and most of them had never fought before, panic. Their only thought was to stay away from the magician.
Because of this, a certain cross-cutting crowd who played hooligans successfully completed the goal with the least amount of killing. There was only one noble knight and the villagers of the original mining village, those who had not been able to break free from Fin's hands. Oh, and the hapless ghost assassins who were thrown into the middle of nowhere.
However, the change of this knight also brought some warning signs to Lin, and the pollution of the high-dimensional world was more complicated than he imagined. It seems that you can't easily bring anything back from that world. Otherwise, unfortunately there are some things that cannot be handled, and the consequences are unimaginable.
On the other hand, Lin also looked into the depths of the pit, where it was pitch black. I don't know if this matter here will provoke the lord of this knight. If no one forcibly blocks the matter here, the rumors will reach the ears of those big lords sooner or later. If a matter of a magic stone vein is poked out, those nobles who are no different from jackals will not be silent.
Hopefully, we can get out of this place before more troops surround me. However, the answer to this question depends on when Fen completes her ritual. This calculating lich didn't calculate an approximate time, so the three of them could only wait. Hopefully it won't take ten months, or three years, or anything like that.
Clean up the scene, and then give yourself a place to park the wagon, and put a few more illusions on the arrangement. Lin also specially walked to the place where a pile of human stakes had been standing. Not surprisingly, most of them broke free and left. But there are still a lot of blood stains and broken limbs on the ground.
The beasts and monsters of the Lost Land are very bold, and the location of this village deep into the mountains and forests is far from safe. Even if he hadn't seen what had happened at the scene, Lin could roughly imagine the pile of immobile human piles, and I was afraid that many people had been taken away by hungry beasts. There may even be people who are bitten to death on the spot and eaten.
Also cleaned up the mess, because the smell of blood can easily attract beasts. Although Lin is not afraid, it does not mean that he likes to be disturbed by things that are not long-sighted. The best way, of course, is to remove some unnecessary triggers. In addition, I don't know how long I have to stay here, and it's not too much to maintain the ring mirror and treat myself well.
And where he couldn't see it, there was a group of people hiding in the shadows, holding their breath and talking briefly with hand gestures. However, it seems that you can't get good communication with the comparison, and the gestures are about to be inserted into the other person's face. So they stepped away from the elder and glared at each other angrily.
"Little John, how are you going to account for our losses?"
"Confess what? We are going to assassinate a magician, not a fat-bellied nobleman, and losses are to be expected. If this bounty is so easy to get, do you think it's our turn? ”
It should be a reasonable answer, but the people around a thief are still angry. Someone shouted a rebuke: "This magician is obviously very weak, but he has made our subordinates disappear in a way that no one can understand." Where the people went, no one knows. Isn't this your intelligence at fault, causing us unnecessary losses? I remember clearly, there were no of your subordinates among those people who disappeared. ”
"How do I remember the person who rushed to launch the first wave of attacks, and it was not me who was the most active; It wasn't even my idea to deliberately exclude my people. Besides, I've never said that this magician is weak, although he doesn't consider the magic tower in the guild's internal intelligence in the Southwest Peninsula, that is, he is a magician who only dares to trouble goblins. ”
Someone rushed to answer the call, trying to set the tone of the matter. "That's right, that's obviously a weakling."
Little John sneered a few times and said, "Do you think that as the original tower owner of the Great Sage Tower, the man who set off an abyss fireworks show really doesn't have any means that outsiders don't know. Not to mention the lich who followed him, the demon king Tikal a thousand years ago, maybe she didn't gather dark forces again and invade the whole world, but the man who could follow her would be easily killed by a few 'thieves' who had just debuted? ”
The deliberately accentuated tone made a group of indignant people feel hated and regretful, and they couldn't respond for a long time.
"It would be foolish for me to say that I want to put this glory on my nephew. Why do you think I don't dare to act alone, take this bounty alone, and look for a group of you to share the spoils with me. Think that money is too much? Little John unceremoniously gave the final blow.
In fact, there are many people recruited by John Jr. who have conflicts of interest with him and usually fight to the death. But the bounty of Xbar Kiel (10,000 gold) made everyone put aside their grudges for a while and came together.
Even so, several people who were not good with John Jr. vaguely joined forces to squeeze him out when making plans. Others have their own positions, and most choose not to help each other. And a group of people who were friendly with Little John also saw that the victim did not come forward, so they never jumped out to oppose it.
In terms of results, it was the group of people who jumped the most cheerfully, and the most suffered. The disappeared hands were all from their men, and there were even a few relatives. And little John's approach, even people who don't like this man very much, have to admire.
There is also some information about that magician within the guild. But who can guarantee that they have mastered all the cards of a magician? If there were, then the magician probably wouldn't live long. The mystery of the Dharma Master comes more from the richness of their means. No matter how reckless a person is, he will hide a few life-saving tricks to press the bottom of the box.
So in such a situation, how to increase your chances of winning? Of course, it was to explore the way with human life. The best-case scenario is to use someone else's life to find the way. So before Little John chose to back down, the price he paid was just a possible benefit, which would be snatched away by others. If that magician was just a paper tiger.
But as it turned out, the bounty did not fall into anyone's hands.
This made a few more cautious old thieves recall the information of this magician again. There is obviously a magic tower that is strong enough to resist the invasion of the abyss alone, but it was withdrawn due to a paper from the Wizards Association. has this ability to be afraid of anyone, but in the battle for the Xijia District College more than a year ago, he withdrew gloomily.
Was he pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger before? So what is the reason for being so tough this time?
I heard that inside that pit, there is a vein of magic stones. But looking at the other party's appearance, it doesn't look like they want to stay for a long time and occupy this mine.
Judging by today's performance, there is no chance of a frontal attack. Maybe at night, it will be possible to carry out a sneak-in assassination. But the bigger chance would have been when they left the pit and entered the city. A good opportunity for poisoning and assassination.
