Chapter 44 Invitation to Trade
Arthur didn't expect hope to come from a dark mage.
Arthur even vaguely guessed the identity of the dark mage, because in the imperial capital he only crossed paths with the Fisca family, first Chiro and then Shiryl a few days ago.
The black mist spread very quickly, covering Arthur's figure in the blink of an eye, and even many of the surrounding punishment knights and demon hunters were also caught in the black mist.
In the air, Fast was the first to lock on to the source of the dark magic, and suddenly shot the ball of light in his hand towards a house on Arthur's side.
The black mist churned violently, and a huge condensed black shield rose from the black mist to meet the ball of light.
The collision of light and darkness does not produce any fluctuations, and at the same time dissolves and becomes invisible.
Habak, who was beside Fast, struck out after him, slashing down a huge condensed lightsaber. Dealing with dark mages, the strong in the church no longer have to worry about their status.
The huge lightsaber fell, not only splitting the house in half, but also sinking deeper than two meters into the ground, revealing a huge hole in the ground.
It turns out that the dark mage is hiding in the basement of this house.
Although the hiding place was found, the dark mage hidden in the shadows still did not show up, but instead poured out of the black hole and pounced on the punishment knights and demon hunters around them. Along with these condensed beasts, several black chains poured out, wrapping around Fast, Quinn, and Habak in the air.
Quinn, the new leader of the Knights of Punishment, spun the long sword in his hand, attracting several chains and wrapping them around his sword, and then the sword suddenly burst with light, shattering all the black chains.
It was only here that the chains were shattered, and new chains flew out of the hole, and as long as the magic of the mages in the shadows was not exhausted, the dark attacks would continue to flow.
Fast and Harbuck also shot at the same time. Fast threw a large "Waterfall of Light" from the sky, annihilating all the black fog around the cave and completely exposing the entrance to the cave. Habak slashed down again, knocking the hole down completely.
Strangely, there is still no dark mage to show up.
"Over here!" Fast waved his hand, and several huge swords of Heavenly Punishment fell towards another house, revealing a new hole.
This time, it was no longer a condensed beast that poured out of the black hole, but a high-level hell monster with wings on its back, the Harpy Banshee.
The Harpy has a face similar to that of a Terran woman, covered in gray feathers, and has sharp claws on both hands and feet. Due to their fast flight speed, humanoid attack methods, and brutal nature, the Harpy is an extremely difficult infernal monster, and the blood and soul of the Knights of Punishment and the Demon Hunters killed on the battlefield are the best materials to summon them.
The harpies flew out of their burrows and flew straight into the air for Fast and Quinn.
The corpses of Sea Clan warriors, dark condensed beasts, and high-level hell monsters, this is the terrible dark mage! As long as there is enough dark magic to support it, one person is comparable to an army.
With these harpies flying out, Arthur was already able to determine that the dark mages hiding in the shadows must be from the Fisca family. The Fiskar family was already known among the dark mages for summoning magic, and since they received the Summoning Blade, they have been even more powerful.
Ever since the harpies had entangled the Fast in a near-death manner, they had no time to pay attention to Arthur and Joan on the ground. When Arthur and Joan work together to defeat a demon hunter, the two of them are left empty in the black mist.
"Arthur, this way. ”
As a familiar voice sounded not far behind Arthur, a new hole appeared in the corner of a shop.
Arthur and Joan didn't hesitate, they sped to the entrance of the cave in a few steps, and then jumped down. After landing on the ground, it was discovered that the hole was only a few meters deep, and the entrance of the hole was connected to a makeshift tunnel.
The tunnel was also filled with black fog, and Arthur could clearly perceive the location of five or six people using his dark perception, the nearest of which was more than ten meters away from him. The tunnel can only barely accommodate one person to pass through, and there are several branches.
"This way. The voice rang out in front again.
Arthur replied with a "subsidence technique" and completely collapsed the hole he jumped into, before quickly following. The two of them followed the man in front of them down the tunnel for a few hundred meters before coming to a halt in a slightly larger basement. Through the fluorescent stone inlaid on the basement wall, Arthur saw clearly that the person leading the way was none other than Shirley Le whom he had met before.
"Let's go!" A small teleportation magic circle has already been built in the basement, and this small magic circle can only teleport short distances.
The magic array flickered, and the place where Arthur and the three of them came out was another basement.
Shirley didn't say anything, and sat down beside the magic circle with a little uneasiness.
After a while, the magic array flickered again, and three more dark mages were teleported. One of the rickety old men was none other than the Fisca family's dark archmage, Berlanca.
Shirley immediately greeted her and asked anxiously, "Why didn't my father and Brother Chiro come together?"
"Fast and the others are already in a hurry, most of the tunnels have been destroyed, and the patriarch and Kiro are dragging their feet behind. ”
Disappointed, Shellier sat back down.
It took a long time for the light of the magic array to flicker again, and this time it was two people who teleported over.
As soon as the two came out, Shirley jumped up and greeted her, "Father, big brother, it's great that you two are okay!"
"I'm fine, my father-in-law detonated the dark frenzy in order to get rid of those church hounds, and now I'm a little weak. "It was Chiro who spoke.
Chiro also supported an old man with a cold face and a pale hooked nose, who was none other than Zack Ernest the Elder, the patriarch of the Fisca family, known as Zack the Elder.
Chiro handed Old Zack over to Shirley to support, and first destroyed the teleportation magic array under his feet, before turning his gaze to Arthur, "Little brother, we meet again, it seems that you have a lot of fate with our Fisca family!"
Arthur smiled awkwardly, "Although it is not good to meet you every time, this time I still want to thank the Fiskar family for saving us both." ”
"No need to thank you, after all, you also saved Shirley a few days ago, even if our Fisca family is still favored. And my invitation a few years ago counts, and you are always welcome to join our Fisca family. As you can see, the dark mages can only fight the Church of Light head-on by relying on their families. ”
"I'm sorry, I don't want to join a family right now. Arthur refused Chiro's invitation again with little hesitation. Unlike Arnold's choice, Arthur was not a dark mage himself, and Arthur, who had countless responsibilities, could not let his family restrain him.
"Do you know how much our Fisca family paid to save you from the church this time?" Zack, the patriarch who was sitting next to him resting, suddenly spoke.
"Thank you to the Fisca family for coming to the rescue, no matter how much money it is, as long as the patriarch proposes it, I will compensate the Fiska family as much as possible. ”
Old Zach suddenly smiled weirdly, "Our Fisca family is not short of money, we want to make a deal with you!"
