Chapter 887: The Greatest Magical Ritual in History
"Complete, complete, even if you drive him away, or kill her, it will not change her allegiance to you, such a perfect contract seal, even in the eyes of God, is rare. ”
Stepping out of the gloss of the space door, Elistri's words seemed to still linger in his mind.
It's kind of exciting news, although the process is a bit interesting, but at least, the result is good. At least in less than a month, his first child is about to be born, and Elena's soul has a high vitality, in addition to this, there is one more subordinate to rely on.
When facing the opponent of the gods Cheng Dù, only the strength of the level of the Blazing Heaven God Servant can really help him.
It's a pity that in the half month or so since the child was born, Ariel's ability may have to be weakened by Yanzhòng. Whether it's good or bad, it's really hard for Edward himself to judge clearly...... The surprise of the continuation of the offspring, and the relief that his relatives are expected to be saved dilute the fear brought about by the expansion of Pando Ryan's power, so that he doesn't know how to express it for a while.
But the next moment he was a little stunned.
In the vision of the divine power, there was some subtle chaos in the magic net outside the mage tower—the magic fluctuated chaotically, mixed with some screaming and roaring and other noises.
The sunlight has gradually left Zhongtian, and began to slide slowly towards the west, emitting the greatest heat of the day, and the warm light makes people almost forget that it is still a cold claw winter day, sitting on the stone in front of the house in twos and threes, enjoying this brief warmth, talking about the trivial things in their respective homes, and making a few half-meat jokes, which is the most leisurely and comfortable pastime that most civilians on the road can think of......
But now, this leisure has been shattered by a few dark shadows.
The shrill whistle of the chengguan brigade pierced the air, and in the midst of this whistle, three men dressed as warriors burst out from one end of the long street. Fly through the streets. Knocked over a few roadside stalls, and deftly used pedestrians as cover, leaving behind the heavily armed warriors behind him. The civilians screamed and scattered to dodge, and the chaotic scene made the heavy crossbow that had been wound in the hands of the city managers completely useless for a while.
Of course, the Burgundian guards were clearly not comparable to their fellow private soldiers in other cities, and just as the three of them were about to burrow into another corner, more than a dozen square tower shields had been erected. Block their way tightly! With the sound of a short activation spell, fifteen or sixteen purple magic missiles flew from four or five directions, accurately striking the three of them!
Although these magic missiles are all low-level spells sealed in the wand, they are after all magic items made by official mages who spend mental power, and they are fast and powerful enough to take down a regular knight. Even Romandy's city guards may not be used by ordinary guards on a daily basis, and only Edward's city management brigade in the entire Big 6 has such extravagant power. However, these escapees did not pay any attention to the purple streamer, and in an instant, their bodies increased in an instant, and they actually went straight to the shield wall, allowing the missiles to turn into scattered ripples in the space around them, and they had already kicked on the shield wall!
The three chengguan soldiers each snorted, as if they had been hit by the charging knight. The shield array was broken in an instant, and the moment the three enemies rushed over, blood and water spilled like a spring!
The magic missile can be tracked, and the power is not small, but it is directly restrained by the magic shield, and obviously, the magic attached to the three enemies is not only a shield, but at least there is also the power of a brute. Magical effects such as the elegance of cats - under the handover of short soldiers, the chengguan soldiers suffered a big loss in an instant!
But their calamity is not limited to that.
A tattered leather armor enemy had a sharp blade in his hand, and the magic brilliance was so scorching that he didn't even bother to dodge the weapons of the few chengguan soldiers around him, and just charged straight forward, no matter who the opponent was, no matter what weapon he used to stab and block. Even the great shield of pure gold would be easily lifted and cut open by the slightly curved blade, as easily as slicing butter.
It seemed that he had killed too easily, and after breaking off the three large shields, he jumped up with a low roar. The scient-bladed machete sliced through the air in a shining trajectory and slashed towards the five soldiers who were being pushed together!
The killer's eyes flashed with a strong killing intent, and with the bonus of brute bull power on his body, he could almost imagine the scene where the bodies of the five soldiers were sliced open by machetes. The machete slashes down like lightning, and with the help of magic, it is fully capable of slashing through a large tree that one person holds!
But suddenly, there was a sharp roar, and a spear and axe suddenly poked out of thin air, blocking the path of the scimitar!
The piercing grinding sound made the teeth ache, and in the collision of sparks, the black and heavy wide spear axe directly supported the scimitar, and the warrior was shocked to see that his magic had no effect, the big axe was stretched out like that, and it seemed to be extremely unstable, but instead of being cut off and retreating, it rolled up with even more violent force, pushing him directly against a wall! The terrifying force returned along the hilt, almost shattering the entire arm of the man! The momentum on his back made him so sad that he almost vomited blood! But the power on the big axe was endless, and he had to push the scimitar desperately with both hands to finally not be directly hacked to death on the wall!
He turned his head with difficulty, and saw a dwarf standing beside him at some point, one short arm pressed the spear and axe, and the other hand was still carrying a wine bottle, but this hand crushed him breathlessly, and the strength of the bull in his body seemed to be out of order.
A sword light then came, pointing directly at the dwarf's throat, but the latter didn't look at it, just waved his hand, and with a bang, the wine bottle was thrown squarely on the spine of the sword, and the sharp magic sword was missed a little, but the dwarf himself took a step, grabbed the guy's arm, pulled it outward, and threw him to the ground with a thud! Blood and paste spilled out from under him like a jet, hitting the ground and shooting several feet away!
The dwarf turned his head slowly and glanced to his side—the last assailant was glaring at him, but the joints of both legs and elbows had been pierced by an arrow, and they were firmly nailed to the walls of a house!
"What's going on?" whispered questions, and the black figure was already standing beside the dwarf. He couldn't help but shudder, "My God, Edward." Can you please stop playing this, I almost cut it with an axe......" he grumbled, but the latter's gaze swept over the fellows behind him, and then turned to the people walking on the other side.
"A couple of spies. Meliane replied simply, the half-elf mercenary captain still maintained his usual indifferent style, but his demeanor was more calm than a few months ago: "It's troublesome." ”
For Burgundy, spies are not really a big deal - these recent times. Edward has more or less become the focus of the entire kingdom, and he doesn't keep this kind of thing a secret about buying and selling weapons, even if he has the means to control it, but he can't do it without any rumors, and every month the staff lady will give him a little bit of a report about catching some unlucky guys.
Burgundy's Chengguan Integrated Law Enforcement Brigade had a relatively refined and accurate set of operational strategies, which Edward compiled according to the practice of the Celestial Empire. And some parts are more simple and crude - anyway, there is no way in this world that there are no sore foreign institutions or brain-dead hairy people to accuse him of some 'Ren Quan problem', and for those who are brain-dead, there are some places in his Edward's quarry that are cooler than Guantanamo...... As a result, the city has always been well managed, and even when the population suddenly increased by almost a quarter, it did not cause much chaos. In addition, the faith in this city is relatively uniform, and the residents are very xenophobic. Dealing with things like spies, of course, is not a problem, those little thieves who try to get some information are basically the goods of labor, and the more senior guys, after being interrogated by magicians with enchantments, eighty percent are turned into materials in saltpeter mounds, which are usually just a step-by-step report.
However, these guys in front of you. Apparently it does have a bit of a hassle.
Edward raised an eyebrow. In his eyes, around the two struggling guys, there were at least three or four rings of magic nets that were slightly warped.
"A mage who is proficient in cross-dressing? ”
These three guys are not very old, but they are not wearing mage robes, but mercenary leather armor and farmer's clothing, if you don't pay attention to the fluctuations of the magic net around them, then their appearance looks at least consistent with the clothing. Apparently they are good spies who are proficient in changing identities. Such a guy is a first-class person even if he doesn't have magical abilities, and one or two in a wanderer's guild in a medium-sized city is pretty good.
But now there are at least three people here......
In fact, there were more than three – a moment later. The battle record handed in by the chengguan team was five alive and seven dead, a total of twelve people. The mana fluctuations around the body are quite good, and a few of them have almost reached the threshold of a high-level mage.
"They were divided into four groups, one in the forge factory, one at the exit of the dungeon, and one near the machine shop...... They are in good ability, nine brothers were injured and six died, I'm sorry, if it weren't for a few VIPs to help......"
Edward shook his hand and stopped Meliane's report, "You've done a good job dealing with the twelve mages. ”
"Not a mage, it's an assassin. ”
Somewhat unexpectedly, the person who spoke was Dahni. The Drow priest caged himself in a large black robe, and seemed a little sleepy from the midday sun: "I remember that there are some families in the underground who will single out those who have the blood of warlocks or mages, but are not very good, such guys are destined to not have much magical achievements, but it is still a good choice to train to become assassins, they can kill people unconsciously with the help of spells." ”
"I've also heard that some mage apprentices who are not good enough will be bought by the royal family to train assiduously in various stealth and stealth techniques, while studying those deadly killing spells in one hit, combining the best of both worlds as mages and assassins, but such talents are very rare. Miss Anna Su added.
"Haha, that's right, that's right, that's right, the black skins of the underground world often have such guys, it's very troublesome, many times our cities will also be infiltrated by them, killing a lot of people and robbing a lot of things, for this kind of mouse, we are more familiar, I can smell the stench of scroll skin on their bodies from a long distance. I'll just say, today's luck is really good, why did these guys who transferred in appear all of a sudden. ”
The dwarf touched his beard. The brass ring tinkled, and half of the tower trembled with laughter: "So even if they use stealth, it's useless, ha, these guys' heads are actually not very good, do they think that no one will know about their invisibility without magic protection in the wrought iron field?"
Edward couldn't help but shake his head, to be honest, he was caught by this guy. These magical assassins really don't blink to death...... But strangely, what did this kind of assassin come to his own territory for?
A few of them may be able to explain their actions, but to be honest, if they are here to steal or steal information, then it is definitely not worth it......
Although Edward has a great reputation today. There are many things to make money under your hands, whether it is paper, book printing, or magically powered air hammers, and the steel forging industry, they are all things that are worth paying a certain price in exchange, but this 'certain price'. It shouldn't be worth the training cost of a few magic assassins, right? Moreover, a guy who can take out this kind of family background in one breath will not be a small force no matter how you look at it, the question is, who is it?
Cirek? Or is it an evil god? But now the gods no longer know themselves at the level of mortals, and even if they have that background, they can't use it like this—it's a waste at all.
Which duke's guys? Possibly, but they had a bit of a trick. It is impossible for even a duke to take out these dozen talents with the intention of stealing such a thing, which is also a waste.
"So, gentlemen, can you tell me what you want to see when you come to my territory?"
The Psychic Mancer sighed lightly, the tentacles of his mind trembling slightly. Climbed on top of the heads of the five guys.
Even though the hearts of several assassins were tightly guarded, they were as fragile as ice chips in front of Edward, and he penetrated them without even blinking his eyes, but at that moment. The five heads suddenly exploded with a bang! The red, red, white and white thing became a thick mass in the air, if it weren't for the shield of divine power that appeared in the air in an instant, wrapping all the qiē, the people around me would probably be splashed by this thing!
Edward's brow furrowed.
This was obviously a protective measure, and it was very intense and effective, Edward could feel that these dead guys were not only having their heads exploded, but also their souls were damaged, and the violent and painful death would have caused the fragile souls to receive a certain amount of memory damage, and now it was coupled with effective magic...... It is estimated that even if they are gathered, they may not be able to pull out any effective information
Is it really magic?
Maybe it's something else? Psionic energy, for example?
Could it be that guy?
The god could roll over and incinerate several corpses directly, and Edward's mental tentacles turned, and he carefully searched his territory.
His gaze sank suddenly.
In the crowd that had gradually gathered, the figure of a woman seemed to be particularly eye-catching, she stood at the door of the old Tom's Hotel next to her, the floor-length dress that barely covered half of her body, like a dancer's costume, was bright and shiny, but the dozens of civilians around her seemed to have not seen her at all.
Or, everyone who noticed her was already frozen in place, unable to even move!
Except for a few.
In an instant, in the center of the circle, everyone's eyes followed Edward's gaze. But in the center of their gaze, the woman just smiled slightly, and walked towards Edward, and her curvy figure passed through the crowd, and a dozen people sat down on the ground in a daze!
"Damn thousands of stinking dreadclaws...... This curve is really amazing, even if the jewel wine bottle carved by the family of Landora Stonehand comes out!"
Staring at the dancer, the dwarf's eyes almost popped out, and he didn't even know that he had already grabbed a strand of his beautiful beard: "It's amazing, this is what I've been looking for all my life...... That's it......"
"You don't have a chance, she's obviously not human. ”
"Shut up, sissy half-elf, I tell you that you can never know anything you haven't tried, just as you never know if a bottle of wine is sour or spicy until you open it!"
"She's here to find your lordship. ”
“...... Okay, okay, but I still have a chance. At least that kid doesn't seem to have a good relationship with her...... Ah, no, that kid's women don't seem to be like him in the first place?"
"So, Goddess Xià, what are you doing?"
Edward's gaze tightened, staring at the avatar of the god, and asked coldly.
"I'm here to fulfill our contract. The avatar of the goddess of magic smiled slightly, "I have all the work ready, Edward, where are you going to perform this magic ritual?"
