Chapter 67: Turning the Tide
After Toby inserted the key into the core of the magic array, everyone showed a look of despair, once the magic array that opened the city gate was activated, it must be fully opened before the switch could be activated again. That was enough time for the trolls from outside the city to rush in.
And among them, the closest to Toby were indeed four magicians who had lost their magic powers, and they were seven or eight meters away, and it was too late to stop him.
"Bump!"
A loud bang suddenly came, and I saw Toby's right hand, which was shining with fighting energy, suddenly burst into a cloud of blood mist.
The sudden change stunned everyone, and Toby looked blankly at his right hand, which had turned into minced meat, and after a few seconds, let out a terrible scream, holding his severed arm and falling to the side.
When everyone turned their heads, they only saw Xu Yue putting away a handful of black metal objects. He looked at the stunned soldier next to him and said, "What are you doing, don't catch him quickly!"
The soldiers and officers who came to their senses hurriedly ran up and crushed Toby, who was still screaming, under him. In the process, Toby struggled to get up and reach the key to the magic circle. But it took two keys to open the gates at the same time, and he couldn't open them with just one broken hand.
After the soldiers tied Toby firmly, the officer guarding the city gate rushed to the magic circle as quickly as he bounced, and quickly pulled the two keys out of the holes in the magic circle.
He hid the key that belonged to him back in the inner pocket of his clothes, and then took the key that Toby took out and looked at it carefully, and then he said to himself in a bit of distraction, "Impossible." This key should be in the hands of the head of the City Gate Inspectorate, how can it be in the hands of the mob?"
Xu Yue rolled his eyes at his self-talk next to him, he suspected that there were high-ranking people in the army of Black Rock City who had defected to the trolls when the guards at the current city gate were transferred a lot, and the key that appeared here now and the officer's self-talk made him confirm his judgment.
"I said, "Shall we get our hands on the business first? It's hard to say what the runaway thugs will do if they don't find it. He patted the stunned gate officer and said.
The officer reacted to his words, and the resolute look on his face reappeared. After putting away the key in his hand, he said very strictly, "Thank you for your help, Mr. Mage! If it weren't for you, the gates of Black Rock City would be lost in our hands, and it would be a shame that would be difficult to wash away." The relevant thing is that I will report the situation to the above afterwards, and I believe that you will be rewarded accordingly after the end of this battle. ”
"My business is not important!" Xu Yue waved his hand, he pointed to Toby who was tied up by five flowers and said, "Interrogating this guy is the top priority at the moment. I don't want to have some inexplicable guy rush over while we're talking. ”
The guard officer at the city gate looked at Toby, who was still screaming, and the anger in his eyes could melt steel, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Leave it to me." I'll ask him to explain how many times he wetted the bed when he was a child. ”
After saying that, the officer and the soldiers who came to the rescue explained the situation here, and then grabbed Toby and walked towards a room on the city wall, which was the place where the guards of the city gate had rested.
Then there were all kinds of terrible howls in the room, and the sound made people feel goosebumps all over their bodies, and even Xu Yue, who was outside, felt a little sorry for the hapless Toby.
It had been a full hour before the officer guarding the gate came out of the room, and when he came out, he could even see some blood dripping down his hands and some broken flesh.
The officers guarding the city gate may have trusted each other by being in the same boat just now, so they did not hide the results of the interrogation from him.
"This residue says everything. This time, there are a total of three gangs in the city that have defected to the trolls, the Soul Chasers, the Blood Wolves, and the Vipers. This guy is the leader of the Soul Chaser Gang, and the leader of the Blood Wolf Gang, Locke, the 'Fierce Wolf', was injured by your fireball before. This guy was unlucky, and when he found him, his body was almost trampled to pulp. Only Gloria, the leader of the Viper Society, never appeared, a woman as poisonous as a snake and scorpion, and it was a big trouble for her to hide in the shadows. ”
"That's the patrol team's business, after all, it's not our business to worry about finding people. That guy hung up?" Xu Yue said with a shrug of his shoulders.
The officer guarding the city gate snorted angrily and said, "How could I let him die so lightly." For his crimes, he must be sentenced at least before he can die. This guy hasn't leaked any information in the city during this time. During the day today, in order to hold a personal vendetta, he also told the trolls the whereabouts of a bunch of mercenaries. I'm afraid that mercenary team has been wiped out by the trolls now!"
After hearing his words, Xu Yue's heart moved: "Oh? Did he say where the mercenaries were? Maybe those mercenaries have returned safely?"
The officer shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly and said, "That's impossible, I'm on duty all day today." The team was led by a goblin with a sixth-level master. If those people don't get killed by this bastard, this battle will be a good help!"
"Oh, did he say what that goblin was called?" Xu Yue's heart beat violently.
"What do you call Evo Gold? Goblins' names are always so weird, their greed for gold is even engraved with their names. The officer said helplessly.
Xu Yue's face instantly turned pale, and his body, which was already weak because his spiritual power was almost exhausted, shook a few times. The officer quickly grabbed him and said, "My God! It seems that you are in a bad condition, do you want to find a priest to show you?"
Xu Yue reluctantly twitched the corners of her mouth and smiled, "No, it's just the sequelae of mental exhaustion." However, I am afraid that I will not be able to participate in the next battle, and it will probably take a whole night for me to fully recover in this case. ”
The officer nodded and said, "Your mission has been completed." I'll report back to the Commander, so you don't have to participate in tonight's battle. I'll find someone to send you back to your quarters, and I'll report to the organizers of the Magic Guild tomorrow when you're rested. Rest assured, you can rest as much as you can, and no one will think that you are holding back from the battle for your bravery in today's battle. ”
Xu Yue smiled reluctantly and said, "Then thank you." I really need a break. But I don't have to be given it, I'm not that vulnerable. ”
The officer said with some concern: "It's not very safe in the city now, especially those guys who have run away haven't been caught yet, and it's very dangerous for you to meet them in your current state." ”
Xu Yue shook his hand, revealing the magic ring on his hand and said, "As a magician, you always have to leave a few life-saving hole cards. ”
After rejecting the officer's kindness to send him off, Xu Yue left the city gate alone. However, instead of returning to the inn where he was staying, he ran towards the Magic Guild.
At this time, the mages who withdrew first had already settled in the Magic Guild, and many injured mages were also recuperating here. After Xu Yue found Pine, the clother of this summoning order, and showed the letter of certification given to him by the officer guarding the city gate, Pine happily agreed to his request to rest.
"Well done, young mage, you did your job brilliantly, and all the mages here are proud of you. Your mental energy is a bit depleted, so you don't have to participate in the battle during the day tonight and tomorrow. Take a good rest and regain your mental strength, and you can report here tomorrow afternoon. ”
Xu Yue respectfully performed a mage salute and said, "Thank you for allowing me to rest Lord Pine. But I still want to buy a few things for self-defense before I go back, I wonder if the trading room is open now?"
Pyne thought for a moment and said, "The chapter's equipment trading hall is closed now, and there's no one there. However, you can buy it remotely from the General Guild through the magic array in the Guò Remote Trading Room, and the equipment trading of the General Association is handled by Alchemy Life, which accepts trade applications throughout the day. ”
"Thank you very much for your advice. Then I'll go to the trading room first. After Xu Yue said goodbye politely, he walked quickly to the trading room and opened the magic array.
Half an hour later, he walked out of the trading room and hurried out of the Magic Guild.
This time he returned to the inn and found Ellie, who was anxiously waiting for him. After explaining that Ellie obediently stayed in the room and did not go out, and gave the innkeeper a sum of money to let them deliver food to Ellie during the day. He left the inn again. This time he didn't tell Ellie where he was going, only that he would be back tomorrow afternoon at the latest.
After going out, Xu Yue rushed to the bottom of the city wall, which was now in chaos, and there were soldiers who were constantly receiving orders to rush up to the city, and then there were constantly injured soldiers being carried down.
Xu Yue mixed in the ranks of the soldiers and came to the top of the city wall. From here, it can be seen that the three siege engines that had allowed the trolls to mount the walls had been destroyed. The trolls sent new siege engines to storm the walls.
This time, though, he didn't lean further into the fight. The walls of the entire Black Rock City are very long, and the battle is only close to the city gate, after all, if the attack range is too scattered, it is difficult for the trolls besieging the city to concentrate their strength together.
Xu Yue found a relatively hidden position, took out a bottle of light blue elixir and drank it. Suddenly, his figure gradually became transparent, and after a while, he completely disappeared. Although outsiders could no longer see him, when he looked at his body, he only felt that his figure was blurry, and it was not completely transparent.
After finding a city wall with few guards and no trolls attacking, he used the spell 'Slow Fall' on a newly purchased magic ring, and then jumped out of the city, his body falling like a feather to the outside of the wall.
