Chapter 160: Assassination

"Ahem!"

In the burning wreckage of the carriage, Xia Lin curled up in a ball, with the unpredictable mage armor in front of him, and his heart was full of joy.

If it weren't for the mage robe given to her by Hurley and her parents, it automatically activated a mage armor spell before the crisis came, and if it weren't for the carriage compartment that blocked some of the damage from the explosion.

If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, cultivated a high level of spell proficiency in long-term spell experiments, and successfully cast another mage armor before the first mage armor shattered, he would have been a mass of unrecognizable shredded flesh embedded in the wreckage of the carriage.

But who is going to target you? He even did not hesitate to act directly on the street during the day at the risk of being searched by the city guards?!

Feeling a little dizzy from the impact of the explosion, Xia Lin pinched his thigh hard, using the pain to stimulate himself to wake up, and his thoughts began to run rapidly.

Although the voice shouted before the attack that he had tarnished the beauty of the elements, and was even called a black magician, Xia Lin was not a three-year-old child, so naturally he would not be caught by the lake like this.

Even if there are mages in the wizarding world who are dissatisfied with them, but with the archmages of the imperial capital standing behind them, they will never dare to do this on the street, unless they themselves don't want to live.

Xia Lin thought that although his "Rune Variants and the Four Basic Rune Theories" would have a certain impact on the mages, it would definitely not be to the point of making people hate themselves to the point of assassinating them.

It seems that there is only one answer, Xia Lin quickly thought of the only possible conservative, and his heart couldn't help but sink, if he was targeted by a powerful conservative, he would not be sure to escape.

Judging from the explosion just now, this person who assassinated himself was most likely a mage with three rings or more, and he had no possibility of confronting him at all.

At this time, an invisible wave of magic power swept over the wreckage of the carriage where Xia Lin was, and his spiritual power immediately produced some reactions, making Xia Lin realize that the fact that he was still alive had been discovered by the assassin, and this wreck was no longer his cover, but had become his current shackles.

Mage Armor!

Xia Lin stomped his legs on the burning wooden plank of the wreckage, and reluctantly smashed through the wooden plank behind him with his back, rushing out of the carriage, and a mage armor was immediately constructed, blocking a rapidly flying fireball less than five meters in front of Xia Lin's right.

"Boom!"

The fierce explosion was generated on the street again, and in less than two seconds, Xia Lin unleashed a feather falling technique from time to time, and the whole person flew out like a light feather, following the air wave generated by the explosion of the fireball technique, and in an instant, he was more than twenty meters away from the attacker standing on the house across the street, wearing a black and gray mage robe.

"Did you miss it?"

Mage Forman didn't expect that his two fireball techniques with three rings could not kill this target that was only a second-ring mage, although through the power of the client, the city guards reacted much slower than before today, but thinking of such a big movement, the city guards were already moving towards this side, and he needed to fight quickly.

"Let's try this next!"

Mage Forman quickly chanted a dozen intricate and mysterious syllables, and although the casters of this world did not value spells, runes as a text also had their own unique pronunciation, and by chanting, the time required to build a spell model could also be reduced.

It's just that the pronunciation of runes is extremely difficult to learn, so the Royal Academy of Magic does not include this in the learning content of sergeant students, and even in the wizarding world, there are many mages who have never been exposed to this content.

Xia Lin, who was swept out by the air waves, rolled four or five times in a row on the stone road before he managed to stop his momentum.

Although he had the Feather Fall Technique to alleviate the damage he received when he landed, Xia Lin still felt a dull pain in his chest, and a wound on his forehead was cut by something at some point, and warm blood flowed, making the vision of his left eye dark red.

Xia Lin endured the pain, gasped and got up to hurry out of this dangerous place, but then accompanied by a violent fluctuation of magic power, he was around

The ground suddenly began to moan terribly like an earthquake.

Then solid and tall earthen walls slowly rose beside him, instantly cutting off Xia Lin's hope of escaping.

"At least the Four Rings Mage, they really look up to me!"

Seeing this scene, although he didn't know the specific name of this spell, according to Xia Lin's speculation, this spell was several times stronger than the effect of the three-ring earth wall technique, at least it was also an effect that could only be achieved by the four-ring spell, and this guess couldn't help but make Xia Lin have an ugly smile on his face.

In his previous life, he had heard that many capitalists had died under the street assassination of their opponents, but he did not expect that he would be able to enjoy such treatment in his life.

"But it's not a desperate situation!"

As his thoughts flickered, Xia Lin saw the figure in the distance that was gradually condensing a terrifying fireball in front of him through the smooth rock wall more than three meters high, and secretly took out two spell scrolls from his sleeve pocket, and at the same time quickly began to cast spells.

Even if he didn't expect to be assassinated on the streets of Helgana, Xia Lin, who always adhered to the principle of preparedness, usually carried two three-ring spell scrolls worth fifty gold and eighty gold lun respectively in his sleeve pocket.

One of them is naturally a shield technique that is necessary for mages, and the other is a three-ring spell stealth spell of the illusion system.

The opportunity to escape just now was fleeting, and Xia Lin didn't have a chance to take out these two scrolls to use, but now he had the opportunity to use these two scrolls to create a way out for himself.

But in the face of a mage who is at least four rings, even if he has these two scrolls, Xia Lin has to wait for an opportunity to make sure that he can escape from this assassin.

"It's over!"

Mage Forman stood on the roof, indifferently gazing at Xia Lin who was imprisoned in a tall rock cage, and used his spiritual power to send the fireballs condensed around him into those stone walls.

With the power of the Fireball Technique, even if that little mage casts a few more mage armors, there is no chance of surviving in that small space.

However, the target is said to have been appreciated by the Imperial Princess, and such a person may have some unique magical equipment on him, and in order to ensure the kill, Forman spent more than ten seconds casting three fireball spells in a row after casting this fireball technique.

"Boom, boom!"

After the bombardment of several fireballs was completed, the main street in the central district was completely unrecognizable, and the middle of the road completely turned into a large burning pit, and the remains of the original stalls of various colors were mixed with the broken limbs of passers-by, making people feel like they had stepped into a slaughterhouse.

In this case, even the cautious Mage Forman did not think that anyone would be able to escape.

After casting a detection spell again, and after confirming that there were no mental power fluctuations in the stone wall formed by the spell, Mage Forman cast a spell and jumped off the house and quickly walked along the complex streets of the central district towards the predetermined hiding place.
