——
Three different shields shone around him, transparent force fields, white auras, all spells that the apprentice's knowledge could not recognize, and there seemed to be a protective arrow? But no matter what, the power of these spells was undoubted—seven light purple spheres, subtle electric light and flames still left some residual energy on them, and a dozen small, finger-length arrows, were clanging on the ground in front of them.

The near-death blow of the killers, of course, can't just be an ordinary sword.
Edward lowered his gaze slightly, swept over the shocking remnants, knowing that if it weren't for this protection, he might have been beaten into a sieve and nailed into a hedgehog in an instant, but in fact, even at this moment, he still didn't have a trace of fear in his heart, and he didn't want to thank the few people who had protected him not far away—it should be said that he was confident enough to deal with a situation that might happen to him before the moment.
Although that self-confidence is absolutely ethereal, even a complete illusion.
This feeling...... How did it come about?
It seems to be because of the killing? Something similar to the symptoms of the dwarves, the bloodthirsty impulse?
Looking at the mutilated corpses on the ground, the strong feeling burned in his heart, and even made Edward unable to control his fingers, wanting to destroy some living objects, but he wanted to cover his eyes from looking at the wreckage.
But I don't have that peculiar feeling of indulgence, and even in the state of self-hypnosis, there is an extreme clarity in my heart...... And the one that has just been stimulated, is that a new kind of psionic ability? It seems to be. You can perceive the distinctive humming sound of the psionic energy when it takes effect. You can even vaguely see the invisible spiritual power field that is moving forward. But undoubtedly, it is different from all the abilities I know.
It's not so strange to comprehend a new psychic ability...... It's strange what that inspires feeling.
Psionic energy originates from the brain and is manipulated by the spirit...... And just now, it was a strange outburst that was out of the control of the mind. The feeling that remains in Zài's mind is somewhat similar to when he used some kind of prop.
"Are you crazy!"
The self-contained thoughts did not last long. A hoarse voice rushed into his eardrums with a sharp rage, forcing Edward to look up. Facing the mage under the black robe, he was casually waving a piece of shining lightning.
"Rest assured, you'll get it. ”
Naturally, there is a reason why His Excellency the Master cares...... If he died, he wouldn't be able to get the benefits promised to him before-
The corners of Edward's mouth curled silently, and now it looked. With a little bit of the mystery of the gyroplane, the transfer, this guy Minethiel, is really an absolute value for money - in fact, because he has always disdained to make a move. Edward didn't know until now that this guy who had been blackmailed by himself was already a real high-level mage who had crossed the threshold of his real name.
People have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away...... Looking at several killers who were electrocuted into char with a piercing squeak, Edward couldn't help but shake his head.
It's just that many more have fled.
Looking around, Edward's gaze swept over the few circles of white light that had dissipated, and then finally stopped at the farthest point of the Killer Leader.
"I was wrong...... But. You can't kill me, you can't kill me!"
From the clenched teeth, some low-minded and vague soundproofing erupted. Orlan slowly retreated, his bloodshot eyes abandoning the dozen or so people around him. He just stared hatefully at the tall figure—the face hidden in the shadows, but he remembered it vividly.
He didn't expect that this seemingly inconspicuous apprentice would ...... He was able to mobilize such a huge amount of energy - less than an hourglass time ago, he was still full of confidence, leading a group of men, ready to besiege this 'somewhat tricky' target, but now, he has become the target of the other party's siege, and even the old nest that is usually considered impregnable has not been able to protect himself for too long.
Not only that, but they had not even spent three hourglass scales before they had already put themselves in a dead place, still in their own lair - this may sound ridiculous, but more terrifying, not only because they knew their situation well, but also because they could have been sent from other lairs, at least a few dozen reinforcements, but until now, there was not the slightest trace of them!
Was it done separately? They had planned it for a long time? This man was really just a decoy? So, in fact, this attack was to cut off the wings? Himself was just the scapegoat of the adult?
"There's no point in you doing this, you don't do any good by killing me, and besides, you're going to offend someone...... He is not something you can deal with, and my God, His Majesty Arestler, will not spare you, and his power will spread throughout the plane, and by killing his faithful followers, he is challenging his majesty, and that will surely bring you ruin, and destroy Miè in the infinite wisdom of His Majesty! Your sinful souls will be burned by the endless fire of hell, and I will be your executioner!"
The killer's voice was hoarse and hollow, like a dead man, but clear and louder. All the messy thoughts in my mind have been purified into a clear concept.
Can't die here.
Killers are the ones who take other people's lives, they are unscrupulous and ruthless, but the seizure is to protect their own lives, Oran has never had the idea of a rotten life, and he will wait for the next life when he dies, because of this, he can get to his current position in more than ten years, and even now, a qiē has been lost, he still will not give up any possible hope.
There was still a chance, they didn't seem to want to kill themselves for the time being, as long as they took a few more steps back, where the wall was thin, and slammed it open...... As long as they are confused by their words, they have the opportunity to use the acceleration technique, and. There is also a protective spell in the ring on the hand that can be activated, even if it can't prevent everything, but a moment, a moment should be enough......
"Well, Mr. Oran, huh?" the telemancer gently lowered the hood above his head, as if to allow the other party to see all his expressions, "Actually, I don't have any interest in your backstage boss, let alone your Totler's majesty." Actually, my purpose from the beginning was very simple, I just wanted to ask you who paid for you to kill me. ”
"I can answer you...... But only if you keep me safe. ”
The face of the Killer Leader became indescribably bitter - just for such a simple reason but to deprive himself of one of his own qi with such fanfare, the mages are really a bunch of monsters!
The thoughts of purification have become more diverse. The killer grows slowly tense every muscle in his body, invoking God-given power. But in the next moment, his eyes suddenly widened.
Just as he leaned back. A strange coldness spread through his heart—Orlan lowered his head and looked at the bright red that poured out of his chest...... The heart struggled vigorously to pump the blood out of the small wound, and soon mixed with the dust into a strange color, and from that color spat out a dull metal.
The feeling of death.
"Bao...... For ...... "the cold gradually invades the whole body. Orlan let out a coughing sound from his throat, but no one could hear it, not even himself, as his face twisted. His eyes widened as he stared at the man holding the murder weapon—the closer, the familiar face that couldn't have been more familiar.
The brief question went unanswered, as the dagger had been jerked out of his vest, and blood gushed like a fountain, taking away the last shred of the killer leader's vitality. Only the pupils that almost bulged out of their sockets were left, reflecting the dull, confused faces of their former loyal subordinates.
and the depths of the eyes. That little bit of silvery shine.
"There's something else you'd like to ask...... Alas, forget it. "Look at the figure that fell down. Edward stroked his forehead helplessly, looking at his companion in surprise. Waved to the killer who bowed to him: "Alright, take us to some worthy places." ”
......
Looks easy together, doesn't it?
Or maybe it's not - it's just, it's quite smooth.
It may not be difficult to find a guy from a killer organization and use psionic charm to make him his eyeliner, but it is not so easy to mobilize the power that is enough to destroy the organization, especially if it is not easy to weaken their power to the limit in just one day before the opponent attacks.
Therefore, Edward did not hesitate to use more knowledge as a condition to pull Minecil into this operation, to supplement the lack of only a few dozen subordinates of the Half-Blood Society, but to deal with the enemies in two or three locations separately.
Fortunately, now, there is not much suspense left.
The rest is the reward of this scheme.
The Dark Dagger's lair, after decades of consolidation, is quite large, but with an absolutely loyal insider, it is much easier to find those valuable items - the method of hiding important things is obviously similar everywhere, so after a careful search, in the boss's room, Edward found several hidden compartments.
And I have to say, it is indeed a very convenient thing to have a high-level mage by your side, one dissolves the spell, and on those colorful cabinets, the magic protection flickers and loses its effect, as for the lock, that thing is not worth mentioning in the hands of a skilled wanderer, not to mention that there is an Edward who regards most of the mechanisms in the world as backward items.
"Hehe, boy Edward, you've made a fortune this time......" When a small box clicked open, the jewels in it made the dwarf on the side squint, and he reached out and picked up an emerald gem in it, and laughed. And the surrounding dozen or so half-elf mercenaries also gathered there, in amazement.
But Edward only shook his head slightly.
The prizes here do not seem to be as rich as imagined - although there are dozens of gems of various colors here, and there are some cash and title deeds, which are at least close to 100,000 gold coins, but real estate accounts for the majority. The cash is only more than a hundred platinum coins, and more than a thousand gold coins are a lot of money for a few people, but it is not enough for dozens of people, as for those gems...... Rushing in without the right buyer will only drive down the price.
And until the end, there were not a few memorabilia worth mentioning here, the leader of the guild, well, the previous leader. Apparently a smart guy who knows how to invest in wealth, most of the magic weapons and the like have been used on the members. Except for a few wands and scrolls, in the room. There is no light of magic items.
Well, not really......
Frowning, Edward no longer paid attention to the guys who were circling around in front of the treasure. Instead, he walked over to a pair of armor in the room and reached down to remove one of his gloves.
The pattern on this iron glove is more archaic, and it does not match the whole armor, and it should be a part of another armor - the armor is easy to damage in battle, but the damaged parts are often critical such as the chest and abdomen, so sometimes, a certain part of a set of armor will also use some ready-made materials. So. On the entire set of armor, only this iron glove emitted a faint glow in Edward's vision, but since it was not a full set of armor, he couldn't tell what kind of magic it was.
But after thinking about it. He took it with him anyway.
If it was a mage, then this kind of thing could only be regarded as useless rags - any equipment that affected the flexibility of the spellcasting action would be spurned by them, but Edward was not a serious mage, and psionic manifestation did not require any posture components, only the brain, and for Edward, he did not want his hands to be used for posing at this time
A glove can be used not only as a protective item, but also as a fist glove to increase attack power. What's more, it's a magic item, and it's tough. It can also be used as a shield against swords when necessary. Gripping something poisonous or disgusting. are all good choices.
"Your Excellency Vincent. ”
A half-elf's furious voice interrupted Edward's appreciation: "We found some...... Please go and take a look. ”
"Oh?"
Casually throwing the glove into the dimensional bag, Edward's eyebrows moved slightly - this time the raid has an internal response, so there will not be too many surprises, because the battlefield is in the opponent's heavily guarded barrier, so there is no need to worry about external interference.
Could it be an accident?
......
Although Edward had seen all kinds of luxurious characters in the mage tower now, what was in front of him still made him take a small breath.
The stone-made basement was not very large, but the rows of simple wooden frames, under the unraveled gray felt cloth, were all made of metalwork—heavy cuirasses and dense chain mail, simple but heavy helmets, roughly more than fifty sets, and beside it was a five-foot-high tower shield—the front of the shield was covered with a layer of iron, the reverse side of the shield was a thick and tight oak plank, and the bottom was a one-inch-wide border of rice-shaped iron bars, which was a large shield for the kind of battle array.
In fact, not only him, but all the half-elves should be glad that if it hadn't been for the surprise attack and caught the other party by surprise, they would have been enough to make the half-elves return without a single blow by arming everyone with the equipment here - hoplites with large shields were used to defend the streets, enough to make it difficult for anyone to enter. What's more, on one side of the room, there are also components wrapped in linen neatly stacked. Occupies all ten floors of two huge bays.
All heavy crossbows!
"It's a bit of a hassle......"
Edward's brow twinked slowly.
Although I have known for a long time that there is a force behind this killer association...... But now it looks like things are much bigger than expected.
It's not just a matter of getting rid of a gangster or a rival temple, in this world, especially in a big city like Romandy, if you want to get such a batch of things, it is definitely not enough to rely on dark channels.
Although due to the prevalence of magic, things like crossbows were not as strictly controlled as in medieval Europe in Edward's memory, but heavy crossbows with crossbow arms of more than two feet were not within this lenient range, and without the permission of the high-ranking lords, any organization or individual who made and sold such things could not escape the fate of being hanged. In order to obtain the batch of more than 30 crossbows and the same number of bows and arms in the territory, little James spent nearly 8,000 gold coins and more than 100 swamp lizard skins that could be used to make good leather armor. In that way, what is obtained is still inferior goods that have been eliminated at the end of the service period.
And now what appears in front of me is undoubtedly the best quality heavy crossbow - Completely different from those toys such as the trolley crossbow and the folding crossbow, the crossbow arm was at least three feet long, the multiple composite structure and the jinglun winder on the side were enough to show their pull, this batch of goods was extremely well preserved, the wrapped cloth was moistened with oil, Edward took one casually, and skillfully combined it, the metal-backed bow arms, the shiny steel strings and the woody crossbow body seemed to tell that they were fresh from the factory.
This guild, called the Dark Dagger, may have a deep connection with some kingdom dignitaries, and it is very likely that they are also feudal officials, otherwise they will definitely not be able to get such a batch of contraband.
The legend of how difficult the "underworld gangs with umbrellas" are to deal with, Edward, who used to be a half-tone people's defender, knows something
