Chapter Twenty-Four: "He's a Wild Mage!"
"Mouse !!"
The moment the sharp pain came, what stalker's persistence, what brotherhood's persistence, what thief's creed......
Everything was left behind by Roy.
He had never known that the rat's teeth could cause such terrible pain, and at that moment, Roy felt his head almost pierced by a sharp pain, and he let out a scream, and then reached out in defiance to remove the huge rat from his head.
However, unexpectedly, the strength of this mouse is extremely amazing, its claws are firmly clasped into Roy's facial skin, its sharp teeth are mercilessly gnawing at the ear with earmuffs, and the most shocking thing for Bart on the side is that this mouse actually has three long tails like whips, and now, these three tails are firmly wrapped around Roy's neck, and it seems that there is no intention of relaxing at all.
"Hey! Hey! Don't move! ”
Bart hurriedly pulled out his dagger, but Roy couldn't calm down at all under the stimulation of the sharp pain, he struggled violently, but no matter how hard he tried, the three-tailed mouse did not relax at all, not only that, but it continued to use its dark green claws and long tail to constantly hurt Roy's face.
In just a few seconds, Roy's face was already covered with deep and shallow scars, and what was even more frightening was that the cold luster that permeated the body of the three-tailed mouse seemed to have some kind of terrible toxicity, and in the tooth-sour "sizzle" sound, white smoke slowly floated from Roy's face, and those wounds were rapidly corroded and expanded, and soon, his entire face became bloody and blurred.
With a brief tearing sound, Roy's ears were finally overwhelmed and torn off alive, and the three-tailed rat let go of the blood-soaked skull and landed deftly on the ground.
Seeing this, Bart decisively threw the dagger in his hand, intending to nail the terrible mouse to the ground, but the agility and reaction of the three-tailed mouse was far beyond his imagination, and the moment it landed, the three long tails shook dexterously, which made the three-tailed mouse quickly regain its balance, and it swooped away, dodging the flying dagger, and then burrowed into the gap behind the cupboard.
At this moment, Bart didn't care about any tasks, he hurried to his companion's side, and reached out to help, but Roy was in a frenzy of extreme pain at the moment, he let out a hoarse scream, and tried to scratch his face with both hands, but because he was afraid of touching the wound on his face, his palm never dared to really touch his face.
Bart knew that the thief with the nickname "Long Hand" in the Tricolor Brotherhood had completely disappeared at this moment, and with Roy's current situation, let alone a thief's career, it might be difficult to even live normally.
In this tragic situation, the bizarre legends about the old Ernst mansion that Bart had never believed in before came out of his heart one after another, and he no longer dared to think about the mission, and as soon as he grabbed Roy, whose face was covered in blood, he wanted to lead him closer to the kitchen window.
But at this moment, the sound of steady footsteps came from the direction of the kitchen door, and Bart turned his head to see a slender and pale young man walking in slowly with a glass of water.
A creepy scene happened that made Bart feel creepy.
The weak writer, who lived in the old Ernst mansion, did not show any excesses because of the intrusion of the two of them and the terrible appearance on Roy's face, he nodded very politely and friendly, and then walked to the corner of the kitchen with his glass.
In front of Barth, Schug Ernst picked up the kettle and began to pour water.
This is one of the habits that he has retained since he came into this world.
It's a pity that tea from the Oriental country is extremely expensive on the Luowei Plateau, otherwise Xiuge would have to make himself two pots of tea.
In fact, Xiuge did not appear to be as calm.
The main thing is that the scene created by the three-tailed mouse is really a bit terrifying, he didn't expect that this magical creature would undergo such an astonishing change after coming into contact with his dark green magic.
Under the effect of that magic power, the speed and strength of the three-tailed mouse have been greatly improved, and what is even more surprising is that its teeth, claws, and even tail are attached to that corrosive dark green poison, in this case, a random "attack" order issued by Xiuge almost killed Roy the thief!
"Amazing!"
Xiuge took a sip from his cup and carefully glanced at the thief, who was no longer human, feeling a little sick to his stomach.
Even if he was mentally prepared, when he saw such a bloody and rotten face, he would inevitably have some physiological natural reactions.
Most of the people who can become thieves and stalkers have a more flexible mind, so after Xiuge came openly, Bart immediately reacted, and he realized that the strange rumors he had just thought of were indeed just ethereal legends, and the real crux of the problem at the moment was in this young man!
Bart's back began to sweat as he thought of a more serious possibility.
This so-called illegitimate son of the Ernst family was a mage.
And it's very likely to be a wild mage who is not registered with the Legal Commission!
Bart pulled out his other dagger and backed Roy back as he was dying, he had imagined many different possibilities in his mind, but no matter how much he thought about it, one fact could not be changed.
That is the moment the two of them stepped into this old mansion, they had already attracted the attention of Shug Ernst, and this wild mage did not intend to let the two of them leave, he clearly wanted to use magic to completely leave all the intruders in this old mansion!
"Mr. Ernst, it's just ...... Just a misunderstanding. ”
As he spoke, Bart had retreated to the kitchen window, but a shadow that suddenly appeared on the windowsill shattered his illusion of evacuating the old mansion, and he saw the terrible rat with a huge body and three dark green tails sitting on the windowsill, its two huge incisors still had Roy's blood on them, and its two sharp claws were also dyed bright red.
"Oh, so it was a misunderstanding?"
Xiuge took a step forward with his cup: "In principle, I am very willing to listen to the explanations given by others, after all, even if it is a misunderstanding, there must be a source and a cause. ”
"Boom!"
He put down the cup full of water and looked at Barth's face, which was a little distorted by panic and panic: "This gentleman, on behalf of your companion, please explain it to me well...... Why the hell are you here? And what are you going to do? ”
Shug didn't push too hard, he didn't want to put too much pressure on the two thieves who were obviously from the Tricolor Brotherhood, and from the previous indications, it was likely that the top of the group of "land snakes" had also received some secret orders, or directly joined in the next terrible plan.
Being targeted by such a group of guys is naturally not good news, but in the current situation of urgent lack of all kinds of news and intelligence, Xiuge can only accept this situation, he is not very clear about how to deal with these two thieves, after all, he does not have the magical interrogation methods like Wei Lin, and there is no way to distinguish truth from lies in detail.
"Tsk, it would be nice if she could come here at this time, with those magic of the Law Committee, she will definitely be able to ask a lot of things."
Shuge glanced at the two Tricolor Brotherhood members in front of him, he knew very well that his magic power was limited after all, and it was impossible to continue to pretend for a long time, so he took a step forward and said, "So...... What is the purpose of you two here? Or does your brother need you to bring me a message? ”
Bart's face sank quickly, and while nervously guarding against the dangerous three-tailed mouse, he took Roy and took a step back in the direction of the corner, and then he responded: "Mr. Ernst, I will do my best to answer every question you may have, and at the same time please believe that we are definitely not here ourselves...... If you're willing to let the two of us go eventually, we'll swear to the thief god Hil Fu that we won't reveal the secrets of this mansion! ”
"Secret?"
Xiuge smiled and shook his head: "I know very well that there are no secrets at all in the old Ernst mansion, and you must have come here to find me, right?" ”
In the process of speaking, Shug always deliberately kept a certain distance from Barth, but in Barth's eyes, the young man of the Ernst family showed his terrifying power to the outside world all the time, and in the white skin and black eyes characteristic of the Ernst family, there was a terrifying contempt.
This is the posture that those nobles used to condescend to decide the life and death of others.
"He's definitely not an illegitimate child!"
As this thought emerged, Bart's legs and feet began to tremble involuntarily, because once his guess was confirmed, then standing in front of him was very likely to be a noble agent who had come to Seren City to perform some kind of secret mission, and only in this way could he explain why he was able to hide his identity as a wild mage all the time, and act openly under the nose of the legal committee!
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt, and when this emotion accumulated to a certain extent, it naturally turned into determination and madness.
"Huh?"
There was a faint omen in the spiritual world, so Xiuge decisively stopped, and at this moment, the Brotherhood thieves, who had been cowering in the corner, suddenly moved.
With a flick of his hand, Bart pushed his companion Roy, whom he had been supporting, in the direction of the three-tailed mouse, and then took the dagger behind his hand and rushed towards Xiug.
That was his judgment as a seasoned thief.
Although under normal circumstances, the Judicial Council, as well as the casters of the major kingdoms and families, will undergo a certain level of melee training, but the help of this training is very limited after all, and Bart is confident that he can successfully control a young noble mage who does not carry a magic book with him in close combat!
Of course, he didn't rush forward like this, and with the vigorous shaking of Bart's arm, the fishing net that had been hanging on his arm was spread out, and there were many small metal hooks hanging from this fishing net, and once it was hung on his body, it was easy to tear out a large number of small wounds, and in severe cases, it would even tear off two pieces of flesh.
Barthes, a fisherman, is well aware of the characteristics of this fishing net, which is why he uses it as his own unique "execution tool".
In his opinion, not carrying a magic book with him was the biggest mistake Shug Ernst had made, even if he had a terrifying magical creature as a helper, it was absolutely impossible for him to quickly release a powerful magic that was enough to kill without leaving the magic book, and as for those basic tricks with average power, even if he hit, he would not be able to kill himself!
"I can win!"
Bart shouted in his heart, and after throwing the net that would bring him victory, he quickly pulled out a pair of silver-sharp scissors in his left hand, a sharp weapon and tool that gave him the nickname.
Just as Bart was about to follow the net, stabbing his dagger and scissors into the fragile body, he saw Shug raise his palm, and a short, strange syllable echoed through the kitchen.
The barbed fishing nets thrown in the air met their natural enemies at this moment, dark green gloomy light and shadow burst out in an instant, and terrifying terrifying tentacles swept out of the pale palms, they were like the wrists and feet of some kind of giant sea creature used to hunt, easily tore open the fishing net that dared to offend their majesty, and then hit Bart with a heavy blow.
The thief was swept away by this terrible force, and his weapons and tools for survival fell to the ground, and his arm was severely twisted in the impact.
Bart was desperate, but when he barely looked up, the color of life reappeared before his eyes.
At the door of the kitchen, there was a figure in a dark blue robe.
It was the uniform of the Law Committee, and although it seemed to be stained with some blood, Bart thought he would not be mistaken, it was the clothes that only the members of the Law Committee would wear!
So Bart cried out in ecstasy.
"Ma'am! Miss! Fast! Catch this guy...... He's a wild mage! ”
