The Red Mage

"You said that guy had bad intentions. ”

The hygienic conditions of this tavern can only be regarded as mediocre, and people of some status in Simon probably would not choose to drink and have fun in such a place, but considering that Xiu Marek, who was sitting opposite, was just a poor new wizard, and did not have a good father like himself, little Bucklau was relieved - more importantly, he had come to this place not to have fun, but to make a fortune.

"But even the president had already approved that man's plan, and Ping was personally involved, and you made me a clown.

Little Barcloau kept complaining, the development of the Coast Wizards Association made his lobbying some time ago a joke, although those wizards didn't say it, but these days, he could read a maddening contempt and ridicule from the eyes of the wizards of the association looking at him Of course, those wizards probably wouldn't be idle to be bored and have nothing to do all day long just staring at Little Buckrow, and seriously analyzing the content of Little Bucklaw's lobbying, which is not unreasonable, so the wizards' contempt for Little Bucklaw is unreasonable, but any wizard who is a little more concerned only puts his suspicion on President Banks。

So, the 'contempt' and 'mockery' that little Bucklaw felt was only his own hallucinations of his own chagrin at defeat, but with his own personal feelings, I am afraid that he would not seriously consider the reasons for this, but complained that in his opinion, if this guy had not poured into him a series of fallacies, he would not have done such a thing.

"He's ill-intentioned, Lord Bucklau, there's no doubt about it. "Compared to little Bucklaw, Shomarek is obviously a sensible person, and he spreads his hands and makes a helpless expression;" But he seems to have won the approval of President Banks, and perhaps there has been a change in line at the top, which is not a problem that can be solved by simple lobbying. ”

"Are you saying that President Banks and that guy want to drag the entire guild into the fight against the vampires?"

"If I'm not mistaken, that's it. Xiumarek said with a helpless expression.

"How can they do that? It's dragging all the wizards into the middle of the strife. Little Barclau's face was furious;" We have always been in contention with the world. ”

"Perhaps. "Shumarek shook his head, stood up, and opened the dial in his arms to take a look;" Oh, sorry, I still have some things to do, so I'm going to go home first. ”

After that, he didn't say hello, and hurriedly turned around and left, little Bucklaw still had many questions to ask in his heart, and hurriedly chased after him; Hey, wait!"

He turned a laneway, not noticing that there were fewer pedestrians on the side of the road, but only chased Shumarek's faster and faster pace, until he reached a dead end, and Shumarek stopped.

"And one last question, why is the president ・・・・・・" Little Bucklaw tapped Shumarek on the shoulder, trying to explain the wizard's main concern, but when Shumarek turned around, he took two steps back in surprise - the unfamiliar blue-black face was quite different from the Shumarek he was chasing.

After a breath of stunned, little Bucklaw recognized the identity of Parrot Marek from his facial features, and he was even more surprised that a person's skin would change from the pink and white of an ordinary person to the dead ashes of a dead man in a few quarters of an hour;

"You're Marek?"

"Oh, of course I'm Marek. Xiu Marek grinned, lù out an overly slender canine tooth, but he couldn't let little Barcrow see very clearly under the night, but the blood-red pupils and the black figures that kept appearing around him let little Barcrow know something, especially when a pair of red pupils stared at him in all directions.

"Vampire!" cried out little Barclaw in horror, his fingers stiff against Shymarek; You, you, you're a vampire. ”

"Is it strange?" Shomarek shook his head; It's not surprising, oh, it wasn't so fast, Mr. Bucklaw, Jr., but now that the outsider has moved President Banks to make us enemies, we have to do something at this time, uh・・・・・・ put it this way#, Mr. Bucklaw, we want to ask you to borrow something. ”...,

"What do you want?" Smelling a hint of foreboding in Shomarek's calm tone, little Bacloau, who was already disturbed by the appearance of the hordes of vampires around him, was even more frightened, and blurted out his emotions for a moment.

"Your Excellency's life, of course. Shumarek smiled and pulled out the canine teeth on the side of the chún.

"Don't you think!!" Little Bucklaw turned the ring on his hand at that moment, and a light peculiar to teleportation spells appeared around his body, but the scene around him made him feel desperate for a moment.

The ground and wall of this alley were densely packed with runes at the moment when he launched the teleportation gem, and a tangible force field dispersed the light of the teleportation technique cleanly, and little Bucklau was stunned for a moment, knowing that this must be the magic circle that these vampires had already arranged to deal with him, of course, he would not allow Chi to escape with teleportation, he pulled out a magic wand in horror, but his wrist was hit by the light released by the magic wand in Shumarek's hand, and the magic shield on the outer layer of his body burst apart, and the magic wand in his hand also burst out with a few sparks caused by the loss of control of the spell。

He hurriedly pulled out a bunch of spell scrolls, but the rapidly approaching vampire group obviously wouldn't give him more chances, a vampire grabbed his arm with a roar, the huge force made him howl in pain, and the spell props in his hands also fell to the ground one after another, a wizard like him naturally had no training in spell combat, and after several failed resistances, he was pressed to the dry hard masonry ground by a group of vampires.

"Wait!wait!" Little Bucklaw struggled to lift his head that was being held down, and saw Shomarek approaching step by step, the pressure of death made his mind run a hundred times faster than usual, and he figured out a lot of things in an instant, seeing that Shomarek had come to him, and the imminence of death made him scream; You're going to kill me and frame that wizard?No! My father won't be deceived by this scheme! Vampire! You can't fool him! They'll find out that you took my life! Don't forget that you were drinking with me just now. ”

"Oh, it's nothing, little Mr. Bucklaw. Shomarek continued to smile, crouching down to look at the poor creature, with a hint of cat-rat banter at Bucklaw's face even more desperate under his words; You don't have to worry about me, we're going to lay out the murder scene, and all the evidence will be directed at the wizard named Pan Diesel, well, 'you can go on your way in peace, suspicion will drive old Lord Bucklaw to turn the finger at that wizard, and we'll do more to turn that suspicion into hatred, oh, from that point of view・You should thank me. ”

Shumarik smiled mockingly; I'm helping you deal with him・・・・・・ don't you want to kill him?"

"Hell!" said little Bucklaw, struggling with tears in his eyes, the smell of and urine frowning the vampire thugs who pressed his limbs and torso, and a few heavy leather boots on his back, rattling the poor creature's spine under the weight of the vampires.

Shumarek smirked and took out a scroll, hiding a death circle in the area, the surrounding vampires had already arranged the runes under his command, as long as he was simply guided, little Baclow would die under this spell If you want to blame a high-level wizard, of course, you must use high-level spells appropriately.

At this time, the two vampires carried a wriggling sack and walked up to Little Bucklaw, and the two vampires opened the bag, and a tied guy who looked exactly like the one squirmed out of it, and his mouth gagged with iron balls foaming at the mouth, and the vampire Shumarek's face changed at this time, and lù showed another face.

This undoubtedly made little Bucklaw, who was already desperate, know that these vampires were indeed carefully arranged and designed, and that Shymarek was just a victim like him, and his heart froze to the freezing point.

"Please, don't kill me!" At this time, he could only keep begging with his fart, but he obviously got nothing but a cold sneer.

"Even if you scream to cut your throat, no one will save you, stupid little one. "'Shomarek, sneering, leaned over and whispered in his ear. ...,

A vampire who stepped on Little Barclau's neck impatiently pressed the artery behind the upper carotid with great force, and Little Barclough rolled his eyes and stopped foaming at the mouth.

Suddenly, a soft cough from the wall caught the attention of little Barclaw and the other vampires. 'Shomarek's eyelids twitched a few times as he looked at the two wizards who appeared above the wall.

"Shouldn't I say, 'My name is Throat Split,' dear Lord Banks. A younger wizard tilted his head sideways and looked at the middle-aged man next to him.

"Diesel, I didn't know you had such a good sense of humor. The middle-aged man in the wizard's robe also coughed lightly, his eyebrows furrowed; However, these two sentences are a bit old, and they are rotten jokes used by predecessors. ”

"The reason why it has become a cliché, of course, is because of the classics, well, Mr. Vampire, I wonder how Your Excellency feels now?" In the eyes of the vampire, Pan Diesel looked at his gaze full of mockery and disdain, the creature that lived in the dark frowned, knowing that this plan had been seen through in advance, listening to the somewhat scientific dialogue between the two high-ranking wizards, his mood gradually became uneasy.

"Kill them!" the vampire leader's command was short and muffled, but the next moment, a larger light made all the vampires scream in pain, and under the intense and long-lasting bright light, these vampires fell to the ground with smoke all over their bodies, their pale skin turned to char at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the vampire leader struggled to turn his gaze to the location where the light was shining on, and saw a gray-robed wizard in his fifties holding a staff in one hand, staring at the mess below with an angry look.

A bolt of lightning shot out from the tip of his staff, like a flying viper, taking the last of the life of the struggling vampire leader, and the gray-robed wizard wizard withdrew his staff, still full of rage.

"My son is stupid, but I will not allow him to die like this. "He flew to Little Barlau's side, looked down to probe his breath, and a spell lifted the body up, and Old Barcrow looked up at Penny, who was watching everything happen, and his eyes were deep;" Although you informed me to come, I will not thank you for it, because it was your presence that prompted the avoidance to happen. ”

"I can understand your feelings, Elder Bucklaw. "Penny owes the director;" But even if it doesn't happen, sooner or later the vampire will stick their fangs out at you.

"Perhaps. "Old Baclaw took his son's body and flew into the sky;" I know your plan... Well, I think there is some truth to such a plan now, and I will restrain him from interfering in the trouble. ”

Before leaving, he glanced at Penny and Banks with insightful eyes; We should all be thankful for each other. ”

"You are right, Elder Bucklaw, and thank you so much for your understanding. The wizard once again respectfully owed a debt, and he was indeed glad that the old wizard did not have all those nasty xìng grids that would cause trouble, and it was undoubtedly a good thing.

President Banks raised a hand, and dozens of wizard bodyguards and apprentices poured out from all around the alley, untying the Shinshu Marek who had been tied up and dumped, and at the same time tidying up the scene, and after a busy meal, disappeared into the alley.

"Oh! The plan failed, my lord. On the top of the tower in the distance, the female vampire, who had been watching the events from afar, raised her eyebrows slightly as she saw the mages leave, her tone seemed to be surprised, but the mockery betrayed her hypocrisy, and at the same time stabbed another guy who was watching the events hard.

Basdy Duncan's face was blue and two sharp breaths burst out of his nostrils with a cold snort, shooting out on the collar of his robe, and the gas scattered and drifted away, and several flying mosquitoes buzzed and flew away, hiding from the suddenly decaying and dark air.

"It's just a mid-level vampire. The corners of his mouth twitched, as if to explain himself.

"An intermediate vampire. The female vampire Sellysses spoke in a tone that complemented Gatiku;" The Duke had only twelve such subordinates. ”

Although the power is all over the Dragon Coast, the number of vampires is not as large as ordinary people think, especially the pure-bloods who have a certain status and power, only such guys who have the ability to possess the first and can restrain the vampire to the point that it does not affect their sanity, are regarded by the vampires as real kinds, and those vampires who often cause bloodshed on the street corners of Ximen City, most of them are lowly blood slaves and derivatives in the vampire society. ...,

The initial cost of creating a regular bloodline is staggeringly high, and it is not at all as simple as creating a blood slave, so the number of pure-blood vampires is not too large.

Because of this, Simon's vampires did not occupy the entire city openly, but secretly controlled the power of the city with their minions, although on the one hand, they were afraid of external pressure, and on the other hand, there were also reasons for the scarcity of the population and the lack of core strength.

Therefore, every high-level vampire is very careful to hide their identity and avoid violence, because they can't afford to lose too much, and the death of a mid-level vampire is obviously something that a vampire duke does not want to see.

"As I said, your plan is too clumsy. Thallisis said sharply; They're all wizards of great intelligence, not mentally retarded as you might think, Lord Clown. ”

This sarcasm made Duncan clutch his head in pain, and the last sentence almost exploded his anger and grievance, and he stared at Thrixis viciously; Call me Lord Duncan. ”

"All right, Lord Duncan. "Thallises' eyes twinkled with mockery, and he looked down on this guy who was looking for dignity in such inconsequential details;" The Duke will not spare you, and I know that she has many ways to plunge people into the abyss of misery in the midst of unstoppable pleasure. ”

"As I said, it's not that serious. The male vampire grabbed Thalysis by the neck and stared at her face with a dangerous gaze.

The latter did not speak, and for the next ten days, the truly serious consequences for the vampires occurred, and the president of the Wizards Guild of the Dragon's Coast, Tyran Banks, announced that he would conduct a complete sweep of the guild in order to find more vampires lurking.

In the past, such behavior would undoubtedly have caused dissatisfaction among some wizards with a strong sense of independence, but after seeing the misfortune that happened to Little Bucklaw, many members of the Association realized that there were a large number of vampire minions lurking in all corners of the Association, which would undoubtedly pose a serious threat to their safety。

This made the wizards feel a direct threat from the vampires, and the wizards may not mind controlling some dark creatures as minions, but they will never want to be the minions of dark creatures, some wizards who try to avoid fighting choose to go into hiding, but more wizards who are linked to the interests of the association have expressed their willingness to participate in Pan Diesel's guild development plan.

This undoubtedly hit the vampires hard, especially a guy named Basdy Duncan, of course, outsiders would not know what happened to him, but it undoubtedly made him feel more resentment and anger in his heart.

"Listen, stupid fellow, don't always challenge my patience with your stupidity. "The Duke looked at the guy who was dying after all the torture with an unkind expression;" You'd better learn to be smart. ”

Duncan spat out a mouthful of black blood, his eyes filled with humiliation and resentment again, and he secretly cursed his enemies again. ！。
