Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Sound of Gunfire in Another World
There were a total of five thieves hired by the Inquisition Bureau, and in addition to the two who died in the main house, three were in charge of investigating other buildings. Unlike the two unlucky companions who died, the three thieves were lucky.
The entry of the Inquisition Bureau diverted the attention of Lucia and Einstein, so the three thieves did not directly encounter the battle, but even so, the three thieves were not in a better mood now, because they witnessed the battle between Lucia and Konstantin throughout the whole process.
Konstantin, the chief executive of the Inquisition Bureau, and the members of the Brotherhood of Shadows know this person, on the one hand, because of Konstantin's ferocity, and on the other hand, because of Konstantin's strength, "one of the strongest warriors of mankind", which is a well-deserved honor for Konstantin. And just now, the strongest warrior in the human race was beaten half to death by a young girl like a joke.
The three thieves were not fools who deceived themselves, they quickly recognized the reality and began to look for a way out, but by this time the entire mansion had been shrouded in Einstein's magic, and there was nowhere to escape, so they waited for an opportunity in an inconspicuous corner.
Of course, there is no intention to just sit idly by, the only way out is to create it yourself, and the good fortune of the three thieves is not over, recently the Brotherhood of Shadows has developed a new weapon, which has been distributed to various branches for practical testing, and one of the three thieves happens to be a tester.
This weapon has a long attack range, one-hit attack power, and a silent attack method, which is exactly what the three thieves need most at this time, because as long as they can kill the magician, the magic will not be broken.
The trio judged the use of magic through Lucia's conversation with Einstein, and then began sniping at Einstein.
Maybe they had exhausted their luck by expending too much luck that night, or maybe it was the invasion of Lucia's mansion that had doomed them, and the dream of the three thieves ended before it could even begin.
Black fish-shaped shadows flew out of the ground, simply forcing them out of their hiding places.
"Damn, it's been discovered!"
Thief A, who was armed with a new weapon, was the first to notice the strange shadow, and he could no longer care about hiding, so he rolled hard and narrowly avoided the bite of the shadow fish. Thieves B and C hurriedly followed, they had seen the power of Einstein's Dark Sword, and what kind of power the Shadow Fish had with the same magic as the Dark Sword, and no one wanted to experience it for themselves.
"Who?"
Lucia looked at the embarrassed trio suspiciously.
The thieves didn't care about Lucia's questions at all, they just had to fight with all their strength to open up more shadowfish attacks.
"'Come back'. β
Einstein's goal was only to get rid of the rats in the shadows, and when he achieved his goal, he recalled the shadow fish.
Without the Shadow Fish, the three thieves were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, but they were not naΓ―ve enough to feel saved.
"What should I do?"
Thief C asked.
"Only by fighting, as long as we can kill that magician, we can escape, so that we can live. β
Thief B is more assertive than Thief C, and he persuades Thief A.
Thief A gritted his teeth and made a decision, and he also agreed with Thief C, Einstein's smiling face to kill forty people had a too strong impact on people, and it was hard to believe that such a cruel person would spare the three of them.
"Help me create opportunities!"
As soon as Thief A shouted this, the other two thieves immediately fled, not really running away, but relying on such actions to distract the enemy.
"What's wrong?!"
Lucia was confused by the sudden change, she didn't even understand the origin of these three people, and now she couldn't understand what these three people were doing.
As soon as Lucia spoke, Einstein, who had always been the master first, immediately stopped caring about the thieves.
"My lord, rest assured, I will not let go of any rat that dares to offend my lord. β
It was not the same as planned, but the other party was distracted, and Thief A quickly pulled out a new weapon and aimed it at Einstein's head with a crosshair.
Lucia saw what the thief had pulled out, and the muzzle of the black hole was easy to recognize.
"Ah, it's Winchester!"
That's right, the thief pulled out the famous shotgun. Although the barrel was longer than the longest thirty inches in Lucia's memory, and the silver-white body was embellished with magic crystals, it still looked like Winchester.
Thief A's hand shook when he heard Lucia's words. "Winchester" is the name of this new weapon, which is true, but it is surprising because it is true, and even in the organization, only a very small percentage of the participants know the name of this magic weapon.
As for why the other party knows this kind of secret, it is not impossible, and thief A alone can think of more than one answer.
The muzzle of the gun that was originally aimed at Einstein was changed to Lucia.
No matter how the overly powerful girl knew the name of the magic machine, it was a threat to the Shadow Brotherhood, and Rogue A did not hesitate to give up the chance to survive just to be able to get rid of it.
Bang!!
The magical version of Winchester spews sparks, and instead of the bullets on Earth, they shoot projectiles made of magic crystals that have been compressed in a special way. This is a beta version of the magic projectile, which is given the characteristics of "armor piercing", "penetration", "splashing", and "destroying", and the projectile created for the purpose of "killing" can easily penetrate even steel walls.
The mana projectile fires at a slower rate than firearms on Earth, but it's not something that the human eye can see, at least Jonathan only saw a bright light cut through the darkness and take Lucia's head.
Lucia watched in a daze as the mana projectile shot at her but didn't move.
Syllable!
Like the sound of clapping hands, Einstein took the shot with one hand, faster than the projectile, before the projectile approached its owner.
"Miss!"
Jonathan's reaction speed didn't keep up at all.
Even if the projectile was caught, Lucia still looked at the location of the projectile in a daze, but now there was Einstein's fist.
"Miss, are you alright?!"
Jonathan came up with concern, and he also saw Lucia's stunnedness, which is no wonder, after all, she is just a delicate girl, and she will inevitably be frightened after experiencing this kind of critical crisis, and I just hope that she will not be scared out of any psychological shadows.
Just as Jonathan's mind was full of running trains, Lucia finally came to her senses.
"This is not Winchester at all! Winchester, who can only shoot one bullet, is not Winchester at all, it is only a ninety-five style!"
Lucia suddenly screamed, startling Jonathan, but it was also frightened, Jonathan didn't understand what Lucia was talking about.
"I beg your pardon for talking too much, my lord. The ninety-five style is not a single shot either. β
Albert Einstein interjected at the right time.
"Huh, isn't it?"
Lucia immediately calmed down.
"I thought it was a single shot, don't you see that in those movies, they all beat the Japanese with the 95 style, they just played like this last time they shot a shot. β
- That's not a ninety-five. Einstein would only think about this in his heart, and if he could, he would even think of the earth to reverse black and white for his master, but it was not realistic to think about it, so he had to do the current thing well.
"A rat has pointed his gun at my lord, and he deserves death. β
Einstein flicked the projectile from his hand, and it shot back at a faster speed than when it came.
Seeing Einstein take the shot of the magic machine with his bare hands, the really frightened thief A has long had no idea of resisting, or knows that he has no ability to resist at all, even if he sees Einstein's movements, he just stands and welcomes death.
After a dull sound, as if bitten by an invisible mouth, half of Thief A's body disappeared out of thin air, because the wound was too large and blood was spilled on the ground.
It is worth mentioning that magic projectile, it should be said that it is worthy of being a research and development product of a large organization, is it advanced enough, the projectile is not less powerful after killing Thief A, and it directly collides with Einstein's magic, and the magic barrier is a flickering flash.
Whether it is the magic version of Winchester or the magic projectile, it is very successful, and the reason why it will lose can only be blamed on Einstein, who is an opponent, who is too strong.
"The remaining two will be handed over to the fish below. β
No one cared about the two thieves who had escaped, and they were also connoisseurs, so they ran away in a moment.
"'Kill those two'. β
After a simple command, the standby shadow fish moved again, and unlike just now, someone would definitely die under the fish's teeth.
