17. Killing in a wooden house

After lunch, Wang Qinian and James set off, but they didn't take the car, because the road to the forest people's hut was small and muddy, especially when it rained yesterday. Wang Qinian and the four of them have already changed their clothes, Wang Qinian is wearing a double-breasted windbreaker, a top hat on his head, and a cane with the marker in his hand, and the two students are in suits, but they do not have top hats. Jessica is wearing a tuxedo and a black top hat, and this dress looks pretty.

James was dressed in a suit, but wore a black top hat, and the five people walked to the west of the town, they moved, and the people from all sides heard the wind, Wang Qinian and Jessica glanced at each other, there was a self-evident meaning in their eyes, but the two students did not pay attention, James looked very calm, Wang Qinian glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally.

"On the first day of today, it seems that we are not very popular with Holinqiaoton. Wang Qinian said lightly, but his eyes seemed to sweep James unintentionally.

"It's a mess in this place, it's your first time here, it's normal. James smiled.

Wang Qinian sighed and didn't ask any more, and then James and Peter sensed that something was wrong, and looked behind them, only to find that they had become the target of everyone's attention.

"What's going on?" asked Peter.

"It's nothing, the people in the town probably don't worry about us. Wang Qinian said flatly, the two of them will be suspicious, followed by Wang Qinian, Wang Qinian's five people are in front, and secretly followed by a group of people, since Wang Qinian came to this world, most of the time has been spent in the process of fleeing, and he has long been extremely familiar with dealing with these. Jessica is a high-level magician in the spiritual department, and she may not be sensitive to the elements, but she is absolutely sensitive to the human spirit, although the people who follow her are often stalkers in the gang, but how can they escape their ears and eyes, so as soon as they leave the house, they immediately feel abnormal.

Wang Qinian smiled, and the five of them walked into the woods west of the town, and sure enough, the road was not easy to walk, and the road was muddy. But for Wang Qinian. There seems to be a feeling under the feet, every step is very ingenious, and it is very easy to walk, as if the feet are Yangguan Road. Although it is muddy. But obviously landed in the mud. But his feet weren't covered in mud like everyone else.

Wang Qinian had a faint realization in his heart, it turned out that practicing magic is not just meditation, everything can be used as practice. Moreover, there are very few people who practice magic in this world who practice physical strength, but physical cultivation is also beneficial, it seems that magic cultivation promotes each other, and his unintentional knightly training unconsciously promotes his practice.

"Here we are, this is the woodwatchman's hut. James pointed to the small wooden house in front of him and said, this is a wooden house with three rooms, the wooden house is higher than the ground, about a cubit from the ground, and is supported by wood on all sides, Wang Qinian saw that there were at least a dozen thick wooden piles to support the house.

As he spoke, James stepped up the wooden steps, rubbed the mud from his shoes, and led the others into the room. Wang Qinian fell behind, saw James enter, turned around, his hand moved slightly, and a few faint wisps of black smoke fell into the ground and disappeared.

The spies from all sides behind suddenly shivered, but they didn't find anything, thinking that they were caught by a cold and wind, and they didn't care.

Wang Qinian entered the room, and the table and chair had fallen to the ground, and it was broken, and there was a wooden platform in the middle, which was stained with blood, and there were various magic runes painted around, Wang Qinian sniffed, the smell was already very light, but there was a faint smell of blood, and there was a cold smell in the middle.

Wang Qinian's hallucination appeared again, the situation was very chaotic, a man and a woman Mu Ran opened their eyes wide, their eyes had lost their brilliance, there seemed to be many people around, lighting candles, shouting and kowtowing hoarsely, but it was very unclear, but there seemed to be a person, stained with blood, modified the magic pattern on the side, Wang Qinian not only shook his head, but drove the image out of his mind.

"What's wrong with you?" asked Jessica with concern.

"It's a little uncomfortable, the scene is very chaotic, and there seems to be a resentment left here. Wang Qinian said, his eyes were like torches, aiming at that magic pattern, and sure enough, he had modified it, and he couldn't help frowning, this is not devil worship, it was modified very hidden, as if it was borrowing a kind of force to form an illusion, but what was that?

"You're a necromancer, you said there was a grudge, so did you feel it?" Jessica couldn't help frowning, she didn't find anything, many days had passed since the scene, many people had come, and the information that should have been had had been almost destroyed.

When James heard this, his eyes flashed with jealousy, but Wang Qinian looked at it, but he didn't seem to see it, and said: "It was almost scattered, but the magic pattern on this side left some memories, this magic pattern is the devil worship on the surface, but it has been artificially moved, just here, it's very familiar, others are not familiar with it, you should be very familiar, this is the spiritual magic pattern, a very unpopular one." ”

Wang Qinian was fortunate to have read a lot of books at this stage, but it was only after he formed that scene in his mind that he noticed this, otherwise, he also ignored the past, and he said to Jessica, knowing that Jessica is an expert in the spiritual system.

Although Wang Qinian pointed out the magic pattern, he found that for a moment, James trembled, but immediately disappeared, as if his discovery was a hallucination, and James remained silent.

When Wang Qinian said this, Jessica immediately became serious, and carefully looked at the magic pattern, the magic pattern was modified by blood, if she didn't pay attention, she would think that the blood had polluted the magic pattern.

"This is the magic pattern of the spiritual system, if it appears here, it will definitely get the power of the devil, strange, although it borrows the power of the devil's sacrifice, it has no combat power in itself, it can only reflect the phantom, what is the use? Could it be that the devil still uses such a trick to draw around for what is not grandiose?" Jessica was puzzled.

Wang Qinian shook his head: "I don't know how to do it, it won't appear here uselessly." ”

They checked other situations, basically did not get useful information, they were just about to go out, Wang Qinian frowned: "Be careful!"

With the words, he stepped forward, the cane he had been holding in his hand stabbed out like a sword, and a long dagger suddenly appeared in front of the cane, and with a bang, the cane was intercepted, and a figure appeared, masked, sneaking into the shadows of the door, if it wasn't for Wang Qinian's shouting, he would have attacked James, James was startled, thief, this was his first reaction.

For magicians, thieves are an extremely annoying profession, it was originally developed from scouts in the army, after thousands of years of development, proficient in stealth and stealth, specializing in assassination, rarely confronting people, magicians are not like knights, melee ability is poor, and if you are not at the level of a magician, that is, to comprehend the will of the elements, you generally need to chant to cast magic, which takes time, and if you give thieves close, they often die in their hands.

This is not to say that magicians are inferior to thieves, but the way the two fight is different, the battle between magicians is often dignified, and it also needs the cooperation of knights and the like to exert great power, on the battlefield, magicians are often the decisive force, and the average nobleman wants to have a magician, while thieves can't get on the scene.

Of course, mages are not necessarily in combat, many mages are polymath and are more useful for a region and a country, so mages have a much higher status.

James was startled, chanting a spell in his mouth, and at the first moment, he released the protective magic of the wind shield, and several others were also startled, and Peter also chanted a primary version of the Water Curtain Tianhua, and a faint blue light flashed, protecting him and Jessica and James, almost at the same time, they all adopted protective techniques.

And Jessica didn't move, in the spirit system, there was no protective magic, but there was a magic that introduced the enemy into illusions, but it didn't have time to use it, because Wang Qinian had already stepped forward, and the staff in his hand had already been stabbed.

The two exchanged blades, and then the other party's figure disappeared, Wang Qinian snorted coldly, choked, and the sword in the staff was out of the sheath, and then everyone understood that Wang Qinian's cane that had not left his hand was a magic sword, and the sword light lit up, and it was directly drawn into the void.

They were all magicians, and when they saw the light on the sword, they didn't think it was sword qi, but thought that it was because of the magic sword, and in the emptiness in front of them, there was a painful snort, and the figure flashed, turned into two, and went in two directions.

Wang Qinian took another step forward, the sword turned with him, and he didn't pay attention to another figure, the sword grew violently, poof, the person in front of him paused, and the other figure disappeared immediately, he turned his head, his eyes were full of surprise: "How do you know that Lu Dao is a phantom?"

"I guess. Wang Qinian said lightly, in fact, he didn't guess, although he didn't fully comprehend the sword intent, but he also comprehended some, as soon as the sword intent came out, he directly locked the other party, and the other party was divided according to strength, but the level of low-level knights, of course, he would not meet the knight head-on, if the opportunity was good, he could even kill the knight, of course, for the big knight, he couldn't get it at all, the spirit of the big knight has been born, when the enemy is close, even if he is in a stealth state, the body still has feelings, and the magician needs to be a magician, unless the level of thieves is particularly high, can deceive this spiritual sense。

There was a look of self-deprecation in his eyes, and his body fell. Wang Qinian did not lift his mask, but said lightly in front of him: "Don't be invisible, come out!"

There was a fluctuation in the air, and two people appeared, one standing in the shadow of the door, and the other a little farther away, standing at the bottom of the stairs, their bodies naturally fitting into the shadow of the tree.

"I didn't think you still practiced swordsmanship, why don't you use magic?" said the man in the shadows outside the door.

"Swordsmanship is the same as magic, at this time, it is just a way to kill people, you don't have the stench of the devil on you, why do you want to kill us?" Wang Qinian's eyes stared at the two of them, but there was a mockery in his eyes. (To be continued......)
