Chapter 94: Invitations

Tails carefully clutched the black cloth, hiding his breath and running away, bypassing the elite thugs of the two teams who were fighting to the death. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

[Anti-theft, change back soon]

In the crowd, a figure nearly two meters tall was brilliant, and wherever he went with his iron fist, the blood bottle of the red turban flew out.

Probably which master of the Brotherhood, I don't know if it's the Thirteen Generals or the Big Six.

It can't be the three legendary killers anyway.

But Tails just quietly bypassed.

It's not his fight.

He's going to run away.

For myself, and for Yara.

For the beggars of the sixth house.

Tails turned a street corner, only to be confronted by an air barrier.

He didn't know at the time that this was the "wall of air" that was famous among the masters.

He slammed the barrier in displeasure.

Damn the magician.

It's going to be a detour again.

I hope I don't meet anyone.

Thinking of people, Tails couldn't help but think of the voice that had just reminded him to "bow his head".

He had thought it was Yara, who had immediately appeared in front of him.

But he later realized that the voice couldn't have been Yara's.

It was a hoarse voice.

It wasn't just himself, Yara and Rolf who were there.

That's the fourth person.

Tails' scalp tightened, and it suddenly occurred to him that it was the fourth person present who had just reminded him to bow his head.

So why are Yara and Rolf unaware?

Ming Mingyala appeared in front of Tails for the first time after the earth and rock shot.

There is no doubt that Tails concludes that he is more formidable than Yala and Rolf.

But since he wasn't hostile to himself, why didn't he help?

"Bump!" Tails slammed into an invisible barrier again.

He patted his head in annoyance.

There are more and more of these ghost things, don't you want money and don't consume blue!

Tails turned in one direction and ran forward.

"Collapse!"

It's actually another barrier!

This time, Tails couldn't stop his steps, he fell to the ground, and his left forehead smacked at the foot of the house next to him.

Tails grinned as he crumpled his broken head, lifted his bleeding head, and looked in front of him.

Something is wrong.

It was an intersection, and although it was pitch black all around, according to his memory, it was probably close to the center of Hongfang Street.

Even the sound of fighting is fading away.

Tails moved his steps slightly in the other three directions, reaching out.

Then, in two directions, not far away, he felt two barriers.

Tails was shocked.

It's really both weird and suggestive of a horror movie.

The traverser was silent for a moment, then turned in the only direction without a barrier.

He silently stretched out his hand, and sure enough, this time, he walked more than ten meters in a row without hindrance.

Tails' heart sank deeper and heavier.

I didn't expect it, but I've come here.

Ay.

Fate, fate, you're such a blue pool.

He jerked down his right hand covering his forehead, letting the blood drip to the ground.

The traverser resolutely walked a dozen more steps down the empty street until he approached a house.

In the center of the house is a large, half-concealed double-opening wooden door.

Tails looked up, and there was a large sign on the door, and the illiterate traverser could barely make out a single word, which he had only recognized because he had begged in the Black Gold Casino before.

That word is:

Chess and cards.

Tails turned his head and looked in three other directions, remembering the pain of the bleeding on his forehead.

There's no way out.

"This invitation is really crudely sent. Tails muttered.

But he still sighed, stopped hesitating, vigorously pushed open the half-hidden door, and walked into the chess and card room in the center of Hongfang Street.

It was pitch black, with only a slight light in the distance, like an old-fashioned candle.

It really shapes the atmosphere.

"Welcome to my amusement park, my little friend. ”

As he walked past the chess tables (and bumped into quite a few), a pleasant and relaxing voice came to Tails' ears.

"In Lower Ashida Sakern, my peers used to call me: the Wizard of Air. ”

Long.

Tails did his best for two lifetimes to calm the panic in his heart.

In the darkness in front of him, there was only a candle flame flickering slightly, and it was the entrance to the cellar of the chess and card room.

Tails took a deep breath and walked down the cellar, then held his breath and pressed his beating heart.

In front of him, a handsome, long-dark brown man in blue sat at a long table and smiled and nodded at him.

"As for the invitation, I'll pay attention to it next time. ”

――――

Even in Ashida Sackne's long life, the boy's first impression was particularly funny and ridiculous:

Under the dim candle, the black-haired boy was quite embarrassed, his forehead was dripping blood, his little face was blue and purple, his neck had a pinched red mark, his body was slightly trembling, and his legs were tied to a dagger.

After hearing his identity, his expression seemed to be overwhelmed, and he was slightly nervous when he pressed his chest, as if he vaguely knew the meaning of the word "magician", and the pressure in his body changed drastically, and even the air exhaled out was a lot more turbid.

But his eyes were really special.

Yes, those strange eyes, not full of fear and strangeness, not panic and vigilance, but full of curiosity and excitement?

Tails' thoughts at the moment surprised even himself.

The moment he heard the word "magician", after being surprised, he suddenly had an impulse in his heart to ask what the magician was.

Is it considered an occupational disease?

At this moment, Tails was in the corner of the eye and saw three irregular spheres quietly placed in the dark corner, each the size of a man.

Until Tails recognized it, the hands and feet of people were faintly visible on those spheres.

The traverser's face turned pale.

"I suppose you've already met the Brotherhood's Talon brothers and Moria," the mage master Ashida noticed his gaze and grinned, "They are very ambitious, and they will go straight to the center of Red Square Street as soon as they come up." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm not used to choking or pumping like Morris, in fact, I prefer the easy way. ”

Is it really an easier way to pinch a living person into a ball?

"Come, kid. Ashida smiled gently, his voice was very nice and gentle, "Come and see my chessboard." ”

Tails swallowed, turned his head, kicked the few human orbs out of his brain, and quickly thought about his situation. Then, after seeing the blue ball of energy projected from Ashida's left hand, which looked like a 3D effect (but he knew it was definitely not), he decisively cleared the idea of "pulling out the dagger and putting it around his neck".

Tails took three breaths in a gentle but regular manner, following the method he had done in his previous life, and then walked up slowly.

It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided.

Ashida looked at the boy's seemingly adult-like behavior with a smile, and when he approached the chessboard, he was about to speak, but he was surprised to see that the boy did not hesitate to pull out a chair and sit on it, and frowned again, as if he was not satisfied with the view of the chair, so he got down and moved the chair a little in the direction of Ashida, and then climbed up and sat down.

"Well, my legs are a little sore. Tails smiled embarrassedly at Ashida, accidentally pulling at the wound on his forehead, causing him to "hiss" in pain.

"It was my negligence. ”

Ashida turned her head with interest, and with a slight tap of her right hand, the wound on Tails' forehead seemed to be pressed by something, and the blood stopped flowing.

"Is thisβ€”you raised and fixed the local pressure of the air?" Tails touched his forehead in amazement, and found an invisible membrane that cut off the wound from his hand.

Ashida put away her smile and nodded quietly.

"Yes, your governess taught you physical science?"

"Uh, no. Tails lowered his hand embarrassedly, it seemed that Ashda had taken him for some aristocrat or rich man.

Ashida nodded, turning to the chessboard on the table.

"Do you recognize what this is?"

Tails scrutinized the map on the table.

"A board game with Red Square Street as a map - no, this is the battle map outside right now! Red is the Blood Vials, Black is the Brotherhood!" Tails said suddenly.

"Of course. ”

Expressionless, Ashda stretched out his right hand, and two black chess pieces and a crystal chess piece flew in the air from a distance, and he grabbed it in his hand.

"It's supposed to be a seamless trap. ”

"I'm going to kill the Brotherhood from Maurice to Cenca in a short time. ”

"But things don't always go as planned, don't they? ”

Three chess pieces flew in the air, like birds, circling around the top of Tails' head.

Magic, magic, just like a magic show, Tails watched Ashida's performance calmly.

"First of all, the guys under my command are more useless than the other, and they should have besieged Maurice and Cencha as soon as possible, and attacked and killed them at all costs. However, they timidly bypassed the strong enemy, and first used guerrilla attacks to cut off their wings, which is typical of bullying the weak and fearing the hard. ”

"Secondly, I don't know if it's reinforcements from the Brotherhood, in short, the chess pieces that entered the field unexpectedly disrupted my deployment too early. ”

As Ashda narrated without emotion, the chess pieces on Tails' head suddenly fell on the map one by one.

"This is the companion who came up from the lower town with you, and he was so fast that he took down Dorno and Spin in one look, and Rolf could only run after the butts of the people until now, and Numeno, who was a tracking ability, couldn't even suck the dust behind his feet. All I can say is that the Brotherhood still has such a junior master, which is really gratifying. ”

In the air, a black swordsman fell into the map, and another red swordsman happened to be in front of him, and in the distance, a red prime minister.

Tyers knew that he was talking about Yara, so he could only beat a drum in his heart, hoping that she was safe, especially with a red prime minister in the distance.

"This gap is really fatal, and there are quite a few pieces that have escaped, although they are all miscellaneous fish, butβ€”" Ashida sighed, "Through them, the Brotherhood of the Black Street headquarters knew about the situation here an hour before I expected - I could feel that Lancer and his men had taken control of the entrance. ”

"The rat trap - broken. ”

He bowed his head with regret and sadness, and at that moment, Tails almost thought that there was a compassionate temple sacrifice in front of him.

But Ashida then looked up, his sad expression vanishing without a trace, and with a flick of his finger, the two pieces in the air began to spin again.

"This one, it came in from the other direction, I don't know what camp the guy is, he slaughtered the Leiden brothers and sisters in less time than he slaughtered two pigs. This guy was unstoppable all the way to the vicinity, and I had to send the Guraton out next to me, so that I didn't even have anyone to talk to. ”

Ashida seemed dissatisfied, and the crystal knight in the air fell, placing it next to a red guard.

"Probably the pawns of other forces have entered, either the nobles or the official - this is also an accident. ”

Tails swallowed again.

"In the end, it's you, little friend. Since there is no one available, I have to invite you personally. ”

Ashida tilted her head, her eyes suddenly sharpening.

The last black pawn on Tails' head suddenly landed in the center of the map.

Landing next to a red king chess.

Tails tensed uncontrollably.

"Tell me, where did you come from?"

Ashida leaned back in her chair, the expression on her face that was hard to tell if it was real or fake.

"Why did the Brotherhood send you all the way to the heart of Red Square?"

"You're some terrible weapon, come to me and assassinate me?"

"Or is it important information and parcels that need to be handed over to the other chess piece?"

"I want you to answer for me voluntarily and kindly, instead of yelling 'Death to the Magi' and rushing over - to be honest, it's pure suicide. ”

Ashida looked at him quietly, her eyes full of sincerity.

Unlike the sincerity in Rick's eyes, which was obviously ulterior motives, the sincerity in Ashida's eyes was emotionless, as if he didn't care about the answer to the question.

Calm down, Tails, calm down.

The traverser reminds himself that he is constantly recalling the situation of several paper presentations and seminars, how to use the language that the audience is familiar with, to take them into unfamiliar territory.

I'm good at this, aren't I?

Tails took a deep breath

"Mr. Ashida Sachn, do you mean that you can know all the going on in the whole Red Square neighborhood by sitting here?"

The first thing he had to do was gather all the information.

"Not really," replied Ashida unconcernedly, "I know even the slightest air condition in the whole street, from the changes in air pressure in the various parts of the body, to the movement of the air outside the body, in other wordsβ€”all the breathing life in the streets of Red Square is under my watch." ”

This is what he is capable of? So, is he worthy of being a Qi Demon Master?" Tails said secretly.

No wonder the fraternity was beaten so badly.

"Then you will know," Tails began to sort out his words and logic, looking for a chance to survive in the clash of words:

"Along the way, my companions and I carefully avoided any encounters, only striking as a last resort - whether the Brotherhood or the Blood Vials. ”

"I think this proves that we are not Brotherhood people, at least not for the Brotherhood tonight, and we have no intention of getting involved in the battlefield. So we have no intention of making enemies against you. ”

"Makes sense. Ashida nodded, still looking unemotional, but her tone did not soften in the slightest: "But you still eat my pawns, I don't care about the lives of those miscellaneous fish, but I care that my plans and purpose are interrupted - whether intentionally or unintentionally, no matter how depraved the Inquisitor is, he will not turn a blind eye to manslaughter, will he?"

"And you didn't answer my question -- who are you, why does it matter?"

Hearing this, Tails quickly adjusted his words: "I am an enemy of the Brotherhood!"

Only this sentence made Ashida raise her head slightly.

Tails figured out what was going on, determined to tell part of the truth.

"I'm just an ordinary beggar who offended the Brotherhood's higher-ups and fled, and the Lower City is full of Brotherhood's eyes and ears, and only the Red Square Street adjacent to the Blood Vials is my chance!"

"But my companions, I didn't expect the gang war that was going on tonight. So, unintentionallyβ€”"

"I apologize for our recklessness, and I can do it β€” I mean, make amends when I can. ”

"I believe in my future worth, and it's definitely worth your life today. ”

"I'm already destined to be enemies of the Brotherhood, no matter how weak I am, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and the Blood Vials don't need to eradicate potential enemies for the Brotherhood, do they?"

Ashida's eyes narrowed.

What a good eloquent child.

"That's it?"

"That's all. ”

Ashida was silent for a long time, and the expression on her face turned out to be a smile of nothingness.

"There are no big fluctuations in the air pressure in your body, your breathing is tense but steady, and alas, although you don't tell the whole truth, you are not lying. ”

The magician shook his head with a wry smile and said sincerely:

"So, your appearance, the disruption of the chess game - it seems to be a coincidence. ”

"Well, I don't care about the pieces you eat, after all, they're all small pieces. The so-called twelve supreme powers, thirteen generals, what ability warriors and the six giants, except for Qin Cha alone, are just 'mortal-level' and 'super-level' existences. ”

"Even the Blood Vial Gang is just a relatively large chess piece, and I don't even care much if you disrupt my plans and break through my traps. ”

With a wry smile on her face, Ashda looked at Tails.

"It's just that I didn't expect that my plan was ruined by accident and coincidence. ”

"It's frustrating for me. ”

"Accidentally, accidentallyβ€”hehe, I'm beginning to understand the power of Empress Heran. ”

What a strange and strange person, Tails nervously observed the Qi Magician, and added in his heart.

"The world is amazing. ”

Ashida burst out laughing.

"Kid, do you know? The birth of magic power was purely accidental. ”

Tails' heart began to beat faster, and from the strange-looking magician, he inexplicably sensed danger!

"Once upon a time, there was only magic, not magic. Ashida's face was yearning and complicated.

"The Master explores the truth of the world, using all kinds of ingenious methods and wisdom to use the resources and energy of the world to serve a better world. ”

"Until one day, a low-qualified mage apprentice accidentally discovered that his magic was not very stable. It's like, it's like magic has come to life on its own, and it's starting to get out of control, and it's starting to rebel against their masters!"

Tails was shocked to find that he had actually begun to float in the air!

In a panic, he tried to hold on to the edge of the table, but found that he was floating higher and higher, and his arms could no longer reach the table!

He hurriedly looked at Ashida, but was horrified to find that the magician's expression was full of pain and madness at this time!

"yes, that's how it all began!a chance miss by a mage apprentice!" Ashida muttered to herself nervously, gently picking up the black pawn that had just fallen on a map.

Tails watched as the pawn was taken away, and his heart struck: he knew what the mage was going to do next.

"From instability, to complete loss of control, to being dominated by it, the world you know begins to collapse, fear and panic strike, and no one can save you but yourself!"

Tails painfully found that the air flow above and below his body began to accelerate, and the air pressure began to change!

"No one knows what happened to him, but when he returned to the world, it was discovered that he was no longer a mage. ”

"He's not even human anymore, he's not mortal anymore. ”

As the air pressure rose along with the temperature, the terrified Tails only felt that the air around him was getting hotter and hotter, and he began to sweat.

It was also a fortuitous miss, and he unintentionally killed the two gods. ”

"It's like accidentally stepping on two ants. ”

Ashida's words were cold, and he slowly turned his head, his lips curled.

This madman!

Tails let go of his clenched teeth and tried to speak, only to find that the voice couldn't penetrate his throat at all!

"This is the first magician, and the most powerful magician of all time. The mages were horrified to find that their spells and spells were like pediatric tricks and tricks compared to him! The gods were horrified to find that the once high divine power and divinity were so vulnerable that they were ridiculous!"

"The colorful but childish and ridiculous age of mages has come to an end, and a new mage, standing above the sky, transcending the gods and looking down on all beings!"

In the heat, Tails began to feel the squeeze coming from all directions!

His limbs were squeezed close to his body, and his whole body shrunk into a ball, floating in mid-air, terrifying.

It's like being stuffed into a washing machine from a past life!

"Fear, of course, of course human beings will be afraid! How can they not be afraid of the power that has no taboos, is unfettered, but can only be enjoyed by a few!"

In mid-air, Tails felt his whole body begin to lose strength, but he couldn't help but notice that Ashida's tone had placed himself outside the realm of human beings.

And so the war began. ”

Ashda stood up slightly, the energy orb in her left hand still spinning.

"However, it was probably due to chance. ”

"We lost. ”

Ashda lowered her head lonely, raised her right hand, and shook it fiercely without looking at Tails in mid-air.

Rumble!

Tails's joints all over his body began to crackle, his eardrums seemed to have been run over by something, and the blood in his whole body stirred!

This is "talking and laughing to kill"?

Am I going to be pinched to death?

Tails thought hopelessly, his mind clear at this point.

Like pinching an ant to death?

The wound on his forehead, which had been sealed by Ashida, suddenly burst out with blood again.

Is this a magician?

Doesn't it feel like an ability?

Before Tails died, he saw Ashida's left hand, where a blue ball of light was spinning, and an infinite storm seemed to be spinning inside.

He suddenly felt that the wound on his chest that had been burned by the silver coin began to burn, and the muscles up and down his body seemed to start burning.

It's getting hotter and hotter.

Burning more and more.

"So, our magicians, as well as demonic energy, have become taboo. ”

Ashida said the last word, frowning imperceptibly.

His last sentence should have been accompanied by the death of the target.

Is it my loss of control?, the magician didn't think much of it, just closed his right hand again with a blank expression.

But at this moment, Tails felt a trace of pleasure in the illusion of burning, and the pain of being squeezed by the air seemed to have subsided a little.

He found himself able to speak again.

Tails struggled to open his mouth and looked at the ball of energy in Ashida's hand.

But at this moment, Tails felt a trace of pleasure in the illusion of burning, and the pain of being squeezed by the air seemed to have subsided a little.

He found himself able to speak again.

Tails struggled to open his mouth and looked at the ball of energy in Ashida's hand.

The most annoying,

Holding a ball and pretending to be forced,

Guys too.

"you, magic. ”

Tails heard himself say that.

Then, a wave of heat came out of his body.

Ashida's eyes showed surprise.

The dark chess and card room was suddenly filled with red light from nowhere.

Ashida looked around in shock, but then, he spotted the source of the red light and looked down at his left hand.

There, in the blue ball of energy, a trace of red light appeared.

Start eroding the blue storm inside!
