18. Nightrise
(Thank you for the support of the monthly pass of "Brother Decline Who Changed His Life Against the Sky!!)
He slowly sheathed the sword, turned it into a cane, held it in his right hand, and swung his left hand to the side of his back at will, and continued: "I hate self-righteous people the most, thinking that I can avoid the gaze of others. ”
Before he finished speaking, behind him, an ice pick appeared out of thin air, and at the same time as the ice pick appeared, another figure fell, and his feet slipped, coincidentally, just his throat met the ice pick, and with a webbed sound, his eyes showed a look of disbelief, and he wanted to say something in front of his mouth, but his mouth opened open, and only made a meaningless sound, and he fell to the ground, and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground, and the blade emitted a faint gray-blue color, which had obviously been quenched.
This person fell out of thin air, several people were startled, only three people had no accidents, but two of them, that is, the two thieves who had just appeared, although there was no accident, they were stunned, only Wang Qinian, as if everything should happen like this.
Everyone looked under the last thief, and at some point, a film of oil formed on the ground.
"Greasy Technique!" "Standing in the shadow of the door, the mouth bittered, "You have known about him for a long time, and unknowingly, you have arranged a greasy technique at his feet, why did you use the ice pick technique to take his life?"
"Since you want to kill someone, of course you will be killed! Your question is very strange, are you not here to kill us?" Wang Qinian's faint sneer rose from the corner of his mouth.
"You're right, we want to kill you, I didn't expect Huo Linqiaoton to send such a strong force this time, you are a master. We've failed, and there's a time to come!" said the thief, standing in the shadow of the door, and with a bang, a cloud of smoke burst out.
"Want to go?" Wang Qinian sneered, the black mist rose, and two gargoyles flew out from his side, only rushing towards the two of them, but he didn't move.
There was a muffled grunt in the smoke, and the gargoyle shattered into a pile of rubble, but a bit of bright red was more glaring. Both were wounded. One was left behind with a pool of blood, and the other was grabbed by a gargoyle in the shoulder, and a large piece of flesh and skin was ripped off from his clothes, but he managed to escape.
"Who are they?" Wang Qinian did not chase. Instead, he turned back to James.
"I don't know what to do. It should be a local adventurer. I don't know who has instructed us to ambush us here. James said.
Wang Qinian lowered his body and took out two test tubes from his body. Took some of the blood and flesh on the ground, put it in a test tube, and stuffed it into his arms, James's eyes jumped, it seemed that Wang Qinian still had a follow-up method, and the gravel was slowly disappearing, and all of them disappeared after the worst.
The grease and ice picks were all gone, and Wang Qinian used his cane to pick up the mask on the corpse and asked James, "Do you know him?"
James looked at it and said, "It seems to be Halred's thief Picas, could it be related to Halred?"
Wang Qinian sighed, picked up the mask of another corpse with his cane, and said to James, "What about this person?"
James was stunned for a moment, then returned to normal, and said lightly: "I don't know, it's probably a mercenary!" He didn't know what to say, Wang Qinian looked at his expression in his eyes, and frowned slightly.
"A thief already has the potential to kill a high-level magician, but he is only a low-level knight, and the thief is indeed a sworn enemy of a magician. Wang Qinian's eyes looked around, and several other people, except for James, also cautiously looked around.
"They're gone. Wang Qinian continued, "It seems that the collection team is more auspicious than lucky. ”
Wang Qinian's words are understood by everyone, but everyone is also secretly angry, a remote town, actually dare to do something to the people of Huolin Qiaoton, Wang Qinian felt strange, before he entered the wooden house, he had actually used magic to make a mark for several people, but the later killer was not the previous person, Wang Qinian pressed this in his heart, the person who made the sign has been evacuated, Wang Qinian feels that things are not so simple, look at the two corpses, is that Pijia really a person from Halred?
"Let's go back. James, you've lived in this town for a long time, so tell us more about it. Jessica spoke, Wang Qinian was still pondering, and when she heard this, she nodded unconsciously.
While they walked back, James explained the situation in the town to the four people in detail, Wang Qinian and they had a general understanding of the distribution of the town's forces, and when they returned to the town, it was almost late.
After dinner, Wang Qinian had already made up his mind, so he said: "I'll go out of Lu in the evening." ”
"What? If you want to go out, you might as well report it, please send reinforcements from the school, it's dangerous at night. James was taken aback.
"There are four of us, Jessica is spiritual and not good at fighting, and James and Peter are low-level, and there is no protection such as knights, only I am the most suitable, don't worry, I will pay attention. Wang Qinian said disapprerovingly, he didn't tell the truth.
"Then I'll go out with you. James said with his own recommendation.
"No need, I'm just walking around alone, collecting the situation, and I won't be in danger. Wang Qinian said lightly, looking very stubborn.
"Then be careful. James said.
Wang Qinian nodded, looked at a few people, and said to Jessica with a secondary psychic connection: "I'm out of the city, you pay more attention to James." ”
Jessica's eyes flashed, and she said in her heart, "You doubt James?"
"Yes, things are too strange, I have to be careful, everyone is the object of suspicion, we are here, everything, no contact with outsiders, but in the afternoon there is an attack, you better be prepared, I have to go out of the country as a last resort, to change the status quo, I must make some moves. Wang Qinian showed a sneer in his eyes.
"I know, be careful. Jessica was quiet on the surface, but she felt the waves on the inside.
Not long after Wang Qinian walked out, he found more than one person following him, he showed a sneer on his face, he didn't tell Jessica, he has always been afraid to guess a person with the greatest malice, although he acted with the greatest kindness, in this strange place, James lived like a fish in water, and he didn't get a little news about the collection team, which was very abnormal in itself.
He actually likes fine wine very much, this is not normal, he is gradually addicted here, a magician has strong self-control, if he liked wine before, it is understandable, he likes wine when there is no hope of advancing magic, but he can't see the depressed look now, that is, Wang Qinian likes wine, but he usually doesn't drink at all, and he is obviously not like this, as soon as they meet, ask them if they drink wine or coffee, just this is enough to arouse Wang Qinian's suspicion.
Of course, whether to drink or not is the magician's own business, and others will not think of anything, the most peculiar thing is that in the hut of the forest people, the appearance of those thieves, the others were very nervous, but he couldn't see a trace of nervousness, and after that, others used magic to defend themselves, but he didn't.
These points are enough to make Wang Qinian suspect him, but there is no evidence, and Wang Qinian can only suppress his suspicions in his heart, so he used a secondary psychic connection to remind Jessica that he came out alone to create an opportunity to break the enemy's position.
These people who followed behind could not arouse Wang Qinian's interest enough, they were obviously from various gangs, Wang Qinian walked into a bar, it was very chaotic, under the dim light, all the women were wearing heavy makeup, laughing, some forced to be happy, some were smiling, those rude men were drunk and dreaming of death, spending a lot of money, needless to say, most of them were adventurers, boasting to each other, holding the woman in each other's arms, up and down.
It is true that such a place was not from Wang Qinian, but Wang Qinian entered it calmly, but those stalkers were stunned. As soon as Wang Qinian entered, as soon as he stood still, a coquettish woman came to him: "Handsome guy, how about inviting me to have a drink?"
Wang Qinian smiled slightly, threw out a gold coin casually, and the two glasses of wine were already placed in front of him, Wang Qinian held the cup in his hand, touched her, his eyes flashed, and he took a sip.
"Handsome guy, you look so charming, unlike most people here, what are you doing with a stick in your hand?" The woman drank wine, her face was a little red, her eyes were dripping, and the height of her chest deliberately touched Wang Qinian's arm.
Wang Qinian smiled: "Little baby, what's your name?" It seems that he is a little colorful, but if you look at his eyes, you will see that there is no trace of affection, but calmness.
"It's called Fei Yi Maggie. She whispered in Wang Qinian's ear gently, her tongue stretched out, licked it gently, and her eyes were like silk.
Wang Qinian didn't seem to be able to stand her teasing, so he took her into his arms and drank the wine in the cup casually, a flash flashed in Fei Yi Maggie's eyes, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, smiling again and again.
"Handsome guy, what's your name?" Fei Yi Maggie snuggled in Wang Qinian's arms and smiled coquettishly.
"King of Qi Nian. Wang Qinian did not hide his name, but a trace of mockery flashed in his eyes.
Wang Qinian hugged Fei Yi Maggie and walked out the door, which made those stalkers stunned all at once. Wang Qinian hugged Fei Yi Maggie with his left hand, but he was still holding the cane in his right hand, Fei Yi Maggie twisted her body and said coquettishly: "Why are you still holding this stick?"
"It's not just a stick, it's a cane and a sword, but it's a killing weapon. Wang Qinian waved his cane ostentatiously, which seemed to be remarkable.
"You men just beat and kill all day long, and people ignore you. Fei Yi Maggie pursed her mouth, and Wang Qinian laughed.
"Baby Fei Yi, don't be angry, where are we going, going to open a hotel?" Wang Qinian seemed to be confused.
"Come to my house, they are not prostitutes, they have their own houses. Fei Yi Maggie glanced at Wang Qinian coquettishly.
"I know you're not, let's go, go to your room. Wang Qinian smiled, saying no, but in his tone, he decided that she was.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Fei Yi Maggie's mouth, and then she changed into another unstoppable look: "I don't follow, handsome guy!" (to be continued......)
