Chapter 301: Escape 1
When Gehr returned to the small library, he found that only two of the four Luke's apprentices were supposed to be there, and that the strongest apprentice, Morio, and the other were missing.
Looking at the various books that had been packed and stacked in the middle of the library, Gehr estimated that it was nearly half less than when he first entered the library, and coupled with the fact that the two people were missing, Gehr speculated that Morio should have brought an apprentice to send some of the sorted books out first, leaving the two apprentices to take care of the rest of the books and wait for the return of the two wizards, Luke and Barnsley.
Although everyone had set out from the academy to explore here, Kegel had no friendship with the two people in front of him, and he had no intention of wasting time here, so he walked to the opposite door without stopping, preparing to leave the library directly.
Although he didn't want to communicate with the two left-behind apprentices, out of his usual habit of vigilance, Gehr naturally focused most of his attention on the two apprentices in the library other than himself. At this moment, Geer noticed that the two apprentices in front of him exchanged glances with mysterious expressions, and then put down what he was doing, walked over, and intentionally or unintentionally blocked the position a few meters in front of him, blocking the line he left.
"What do you mean?"
Gehr stopped, glanced at the two men, and was secretly ready to deal with it.
"Put your bag down and let's check it out. ”
Gehr knew the apprentice who had spoken first, his name was Garton, and when he entered the swamp on the outskirts of the ruins, he made a great impression on Gell with his mosquito-repellent spell. According to Gehr's observations. This Garden should be the second man after Morrio among the four apprentices under Luke. Sort of Luke's cronies.
"Is this an order?" said Gell with an expressionless face, staring directly at Garton. The gaze was cold.
"You can do that...... Bastard!"
With a smug smile and ready to take over the conversation, Garton's face suddenly changed drastically, and he cursed, because Gehr suddenly rushed forward at this time, and chose to attack blatantly, facing an opponent who was multiple his own without any hesitation, and he was very decisive.
After seeing the obvious ill-intentioned behavior of the two apprentices, Gehr roughly guessed the purpose of the other, presumably because his huge backpack was too conspicuous - not at the time of entering, and not until he walked around the ruins. At first glance, it looks like a big harvest. Everyone is an apprentice, except for the killer weapon hidden in private, there will not be a big gap in the strength on the water, now it is two to one, at first glance, it is that Garton has an absolute advantage, plus there is no one else present, it is no wonder that Garton and the two of them will covet it.
In the face of this situation, although it was a little surprising to Geer, he didn't expect Garton to come so blatantly to snatch the spoils. It seems that pulling the banner of Luke, the chosen wizard, has made his behavior a little unscrupulous, but Gehr will not let Garton just like this to get his hands on the spoils of his birth and death, even if Luke is standing in front of him now!
Of course, if there is Luke. Even as long as Morio was present, Geer would naturally choose other methods, not in such a direct and violent way that it was very risky.
For adventure Gehr doesn't care. There is no good thing in this world that is not earned for nothing, just as the greater the gain. Then the greater the risk, which is of universal value in his eyes. But. Taking risks is not the same as brainless impulses, all risks should be based on careful calculations, and be prepared to face all possible risks, such adventures are valuable.
In this regard, Gehr coincides with the mainstream thinking of the wizarding world. Garden's daring to snatch Geer's loot is naturally risky, but he is confident that with the other apprentice present being able to suppress Gehr steadily, and with Luke's Wizard as his backing, he is also very confident that he can solve all possible troubles, and from this point of view, the code of conduct he adheres to is very similar to Gehr.
In fact, there was nothing wrong with the way Gardenn had taken, and as the best of his apprentices, he was naturally very aware of the strengths and weaknesses of wizarding apprentices.
As long as the distance is widened, as long as the enemy is not in the rank to crush their own side, an apprentice who is proficient in a variety of spells is the nightmare of the other party, but in the same way, because there is no force field protection that wizards have, the apprentice's defense ability has always been poor, even if there are magic items to make up for it, but the scarcity of magic items and the limitations of their use can not completely improve this problem, so there is a saying that distance is the lifeline of apprentices.
And Dayton deliberately chose to be so close to Gehr because he suppressed Gehr, he firmly believed that even if Gehr wanted to resist within this distance, he would have enough time to activate the magic items on his body, and he could entangle Gehr to death, so that Gehr could not successfully build a spell model. Unleash spells and let your other companion exert his strength without pressure, even if Gehr's strength is strong, he is just an apprentice, in this case he can only obediently admit defeat, after all, wizards and apprentices are very realistic creatures, in other words, it is easy to recognize the current affairs as Junjie. Afterwards, as long as he didn't scrape too thoroughly, plus a part of the tribute to the backer Luke, everything would naturally be fine.
Of course, the prerequisites for doing this kind of thing are also very high, first of all, there can not be many people involved, because a large number of people is easy to cause uneven distribution and cause contradictions, and secondly, the target must be very oily, otherwise except for the part that must be handed over to Lord Luke to help him sweep the tail, the rest may not be enough for the participants to share. When Dilansina came out before, Morio and the others were still there, and Dilansina didn't seem to have a lot of gains, so Dayton didn't have the idea of doing it, but now Gell appeared with such a swagger - carrying a large backpack, which immediately made Dayton's heart flutter and put it into action.
Everything was set up very well, even perfectly, and if it were someone else, he would probably have succeeded, but unfortunately, Garden's biggest loophole was the target he had chosen - Gehr was not an apprentice in the traditional sense, and Gehr preferred to use his fists to throw spells at a distance. And his fists are obviously not something that an apprentice like Garden can withstand.
As for the second big loophole, it's that he's too close to Gehr......
Just as Garton was about to activate the defensive spell in the magic item on his body. The scene in front of him suddenly became blurry, and then there was a sharp pain in his cheeks. Broken teeth spurted out with blood, and for a while, he only felt a whirlwind in his brain, not to mention activating magic items, and he couldn't even stand on his feet. At this time, the fingers of his right hand were also grabbed by Gehr, and behind him was a crisp breaking sound and a sharp scream.
In the eyes of the other apprentice present, the fingers of his companion Garden's right hand suddenly pressed against the back of his hand at an incredible angle, and the pain was numbing to think about.
Gehr let go of Garton, who was screaming loudly, and Dayton, who had temporarily lost his ability to speak (a punch in his mouth) and the ability to cooperate with spell casting gestures (severely fractured fingers in his right hand), was no longer capable of threatening him. Turning his attention back to another apprentice.
Since the energy fluctuations emitted by the magic items are very obvious, the magic items on the apprentice's body can be easily perceived without the interference of the wizard's energy shield that can cover the whole body.
Of the two people in front of him, Gell was sure that only Garden had a magic item. Therefore, Gehr must focus all his firepower on Garden as soon as possible, not giving the most threatening Garden time to activate the magic items, temporarily let the other apprentice go, and wait for the other apprentice to turn to fire after defeating Garden.
Just when the apprentice was still backing away and began to use chanting to adjust mental power fluctuations to construct a spell model, Gehr, who had solved Gardon, had already rushed over. Before the apprentice could react, he kicked him in the abdomen and swept downward, hooking him on the ankle and sweeping him to the ground, and for a moment the apprentice could only fall to the ground and retch, holding his stomach. While the spell casting was interrupted, it was unrealistic to try to control the spell again, which is an inherently sophisticated technique, for a short period of time.
Gehr, who had knocked over his opponent, did not stop, and quickly rushed back to the face of Garton, who was beginning to stand firm. Viciously gave him a knee to the abdomen, when he subconsciously stiffened his body according to his body's natural reaction. Gell followed with a punch that slammed into his temple, knocking him to the ground with a slamming slam. It also made him unconscious, completely cutting off the possibility of him using magic items to turn the tables.
Retracting his fist, still collapsed to the ground by Garden's body, Gehr suddenly turned around at this time, and swung out his right hand, only to see a flash of silver in front of him, and the next moment, a flying knife was inserted into the shoulder of another apprentice who was still in a position of falling to the ground, but was actually secretly recasting the spell.
Looking at the apprentice whose muscles were so stiff for a moment that he couldn't even scream, Gehr knew that the venom from the Pandara spider attached to the flying knife had taken effect, this toxin was not fatal, it would only make the recipient's muscles temporarily stiffen and incapacitate, even according to the resistance of the apprentices' bodies that have been subjected to energy particles for many years, it is only delusional to move a finger in ten minutes.
It was only now that Gehr breathed a sigh of relief and ensured his safety.
Whether it is an apprentice or a wizard, because of the perennial immersion in the environment of high concentration of energy particles, the physical fitness is far stronger than that of ordinary people, plus many people have undergone martial arts training before becoming wizards and apprentices, and some even used to be knights. But after all, the wizard family does not rely on the flesh to eat, in horizontal comparison, both in terms of melee skills and physical strength are much worse than the same level of the patron of the first series, this is still in the life and death with the patrons for so many years and suffered a lot of losses, wizards have specially increased a certain amount of martial arts training, so as not to be close to the result of not having the power to fight back, now at such a close distance in the face of no matter martial arts, Gehr, who is far superior to those of his peers in terms of body and combat experience, and can even be called a monster, can only mourn that Garton's luck is really bad enough when this result happens.
If Garden chooses to distance himself from the beginning and fight in the way that the apprentices are best at, Gehr, who has already consumed the spells on the magic items and has no time to replenish them, may not be able to take advantage of the two apprentices who can cooperate with each other and also have magic items.
Of course, if this choice is made, then this battle may be stretched out for a long time, and it may also give Gell a chance to escape, it can only be said that Garden chose the best option from his point of view, only to find himself buried in a deep pit.
For these two apprentices, Geer didn't want to kill them, and he had already relented when he started, otherwise it would be easy to kill these two "melee rookies" in one face, which was the abundant confidence given to him after countless vicious battles.
After all, behind these two guys stood Luke, the chosen wizard, and if he really killed these two people here, it would not be difficult to find out afterwards that he was responsible, and then gain the hatred of a real wizard for this, which is a stupid thing that no apprentice would do. Gehr could easily take out these two apprentices, but he wouldn't be arrogant enough to stand up to a wizard, and of course, he was confident that he would be better than Luke in the future, but it would take time, wouldn't it?
So the choice now is the best. Let the two of them only be injured and not die, and they can be healed afterwards, but not enough to threaten themselves in a short time, so that even if Luke learns about it, it will not attract serious hatred.
Of course, for those who dare to use their brains against themselves, Gehr will not let go so easily.
He crouched down, grabbed Garton's placket and ripped it open, revealing his white chest inside...... and a pendant that looks like an outstretched palm.
Directly tearing off the necklace, Gehr grabbed the pendant in his hand, looked at the bronze luster that kept flashing on the pendant, and nodded with satisfaction.
This is the magic item that Garden has, and it is believed that when he comes to his senses, he will be heartbroken when he discovers that he has lost this precious pendant, even if he instigates Luke to ask for it afterwards, Gell is also qualified to bargain.
After doing this, Gehr stopped and quickly left the library, continuing to walk the way he came. (To be continued......)
