Chapter 44 Double Kill

When the two on the carriage could no longer see this northernmost town, they both thought of their own thoughts sadly. Shaoke was a little better, but they didn't know when they would come back to miss the place where they were promoted for the first time. There was nothing worth him nostalgic about here, and the female mage was different. It might be because her father was still here. However, when this time he left, he didn't know when he would be able to come back to visit his father, so he began the topic between the two with sadness, "Master Snow Night, are there people you deserve to miss here? Are your parents here too?"

Looking at the female mage staring at her tightly, Shaoke pulled off the cloak from his head and said, "Master Walton, I think there is nothing worth my nostalgia here. I have no relatives here. They died when they were very young."

"Sorry! Master Xueye, I just don't want to leave my father. I heard that the imperial capital is not good. Although it is very helpful for promotion, the price it needs to be paid is too great." The female mage rolled her eyes slightly, took off her hood, revealing her beautiful face, "These are what a mage from the imperial capital said in the past. He came here to experience it."

"Yes, I have heard of it, too." Shaoke stared at the blue eyes of the beautiful mage in front of him, hoping to find something from it. "As long as you stick to your principles, even if you pay some price?"

As the caravan went further and further, the topic between the two quickly turned to their respective magic learning and exchanged some of their experiences. Of course, since the two had just met each other, neither of them let go, and their respective things were not taken out to communicate. Even so, Shaoke still felt that he had learned a lot more about magic through this exchange.

The other two mages who were with him before, Fei? and Jiya also communicated after the promotion, but at that time, Shaoko was not promoted to the magician level, and the two mages could not understand many things. Now, through conversations with another mage who had just been promoted, and what they had known before, he felt that he had made great progress.

Although the area of ​​the small town is not as harsh as that of the Mist Forest, it can also be said to be snow-covered all year round. Although the merchants felt that the environment was harsh, they still rushed here one after another under the huge profits. If there weren't too few mercenaries on the border around the small town, it would probably be that these merchants would have added more.

The merchants were very satisfied with this trip. Although the itinerary was not too far, and there were not many robbers on the road, and they had not had too many problems when walking by themselves in the past, this time, two mages joined this temporary caravan, which made them feel more at ease. Therefore, when preparing food for the two mages, they could be said to have used the best food they carried this time to please the mages, in order to get help from each other if something happens.

After three or four days, the caravan's itinerary would not have a village on the road that was taken by the caravan. A representative elected by many merchants told the situation that the two mages who were discussing magic in the carriage were about to encounter. "Dear two mages, the itinerary in the future will not be under the jurisdiction of Snow City and maintained. This is a small town in front, and there are some robbers on this road, but we will not fight with them. According to the agreement, we only need to pay them a portion of the money and pass smoothly."

Shaoke glanced at the female mage who was still standing still and had no intention of answering, so he had to take it over and said, "Okay, thank you for your reminder. I will repay this part of our money in the end."

The merchant did not perform such a formal manner through the thick cotton curtains. He didn't know what the two mages who sat in the carriage all day were doing inside all day. He heard that the slightly shorter mage was a female mage. Will it be a little mage inside? The random speculation did not affect the merchant's man's words when he heard the mage say words that would compensate. Although they did not care about the mage's money, they still happily thanked the other party for their generosity.

Since the merchant left, Shaoke talked with the female mage in front of him about the news that the merchant had just passed by and was ready to prevent accidents. The female mage closed her messy hair and said, "Master Xueye, do you think if those robbers come, will we take action? The money was actually received by the mage. It's too unreasonable."

Shaoke didn't expect the mage in front of him to come up with this idea, so he explained: "Master Walton, we don't need to take action. These merchants have an agreement with the robbers, and the merchants will deal with these things. Besides, those robbers don't know that there will be two mages in this caravan."

The female mage was a little puzzled at first, and anger appeared in her blue eyes, but under Shaoke's calm eyes, the anger gradually disappeared. She smiled apologetically: "I'm so sorry, Master Xueye, I only care about learning magic, and I made this simplest thing complicated. Fortunately, nothing happened, otherwise these merchants would definitely blame us secretly!"

"Well! Actually, it's not true. Maybe some of them hope that we can kill all these robbers! That way, it can save a large part of the money consumed on the road." Shaoke thought about the very complicated human nature for him, shook his head and threw out this boring thing. The female mage burst into laughter, "Maybe the situation you mentioned is possible."

Shaoke looked at the female mage who had laughed for the first time in confusion. Although he didn't know the reason why the other party smiled, he would not delay the appreciation and fantasy of the mage who had already had physiological impulses.

Fortunately, Shaoke was quite firm in his mind, and he did not stare at the other party in an extremely rude manner. The atmosphere between the two became much more active after the female mage's accidental smile this time. He no longer only talked about magic issues like he did at the beginning. During this period, he was mixed with some interesting things he learned in the academy. However, most of these things were said by the female mage. Shaoke listened quietly because he really didn't know what interesting things had happened to him in the academy. The mechanical magic learning and the absorption of some scattered unofficial historical materials made him lose a lot of fun, but Shaoke still felt worth it now. However, the only regret was that he failed to pick one of his own among the few female mages in the academy.

The next few days of journey was much better for the mages sitting in the carriage, but it was a little depressed for the merchants in the caravan, although they had passed by here countless times.

The robbers seemed to have agreed. On every day, there would definitely be a robber who was several times more powerful than the caravan's guard. They would not take the initiative to attack the caravan, but instead sent a representative to negotiate with the merchants. If the merchants comply with the agreement that had been signed for tens of thousands of years, they would just charge according to the head and then let them leave. If there were merchants who did not comply with the ancient agreement, the awaited them were crazy sharp blades, bows and arrows. The robbers not only robbed all their finances to the merchants who violated the agreement, but also killed all the breathing creatures in the entire caravan, wrapped their bodies in snow and placed them on the side of the road, and used this to intimidate those merchants who had the same plan.

But there is a strange convenience for these robbers: they use the money they robbed to buy merchants' goods directly, but they do not rob those extremely precious goods and the items they need. As for the reason they did this, no one said it. Even the leaders who led the robbery did not know why they did it. They just knew that this was a rule passed down from generation to generation, and no robber dared to destroy it, otherwise they would be placed by other robbers in the snow.

As the two mages became familiar with each other, the female mage even allowed Shaoko to directly call her: Francis Shaoko to be very happy with this situation, at least it has made great progress compared to the previous few days. Well! In a few days, I can't say that I can pull the other party's soft little hand.

Or the unique sadness of a woman, the female mage became increasingly dependent on Shaoke's performance. After being familiar with it, the two of them finally gave up the complex etiquette between the mages under the lead of Shaoke. Shaoke casually leaned on a pillow and looked through the books borrowed from the female mage. The female mage, led by Shaoke, also gave up the behavior of sitting properly in the bumpy carriage. The female mage leaned so lazy to Shaoke for her to find the thick she had from the merchant.

On the cotton cushion, a thick velvet quilt was wrapped between her lower abdomen. Her towering chest highlighted her arrogant outline from the wide robe for the first time. A wide open book was slowly turned around by the other party. The low ends of the pages passed through the high outline from time to time, making Shaoke leaning against the female mage dry mouth, so he quickly pushed the porcelain jar that had placed the small stove at the female mage to make him feel better.

Just when we arrived at our destination in a few days, the caravan suddenly stopped on the road and stopped moving forward. Shaoko initially thought that he had paid the robbers again. As a result, a merchant waited for a while, regardless of the bad road conditions, and rushed to their carriage and said, "Two respected masters, the robbers in front of us have torn up the ten thousand years of agreement. They asked us to hand over all the goods before we could let us go, otherwise we would start attacking. The guards had passed, but we were not as many people as they could fight. I'm afraid it would be dangerous this time."

The two of them didn't care about surprise and quickly prepared everything they needed for the battle. They hurriedly put on their cloaks and followed the merchant who came to report the news forward. The female mage was a little nervous: "Master Xueye, will he start the battle? I didn't expect this situation to happen. It seems that only the army can suppress these rampant robbers."

Shaoko nodded gently and said, "It seems that these robbers are too rampant. What made them give up that agreement? I hope not all robbers are like this, otherwise all the escorts of this caravan will not be able to complete the remaining few days. Don't worry, Francis, even if any accident happens, we will not be able to make things difficult for the mage."

"Yes!" The female mage tightened the small staff in her hand, and then touched the magic powder prepared by her father in the cloak. She calmed down a little. After all, the targets of the battle in the past were all monsters, and now she suddenly changed to someone and was still a little uneasy.

Shaoke and his friends followed the merchants behind a carriage pulling carriage in front, carefully observing the situation ahead. The merchants leading the way rushed to the place of the merchants in front, and whispered to them that the mage had arrived. The merchants clearly breathed a sigh of relief and began to command the guards to prepare for the battle. The coachman quickly put the carriage in front of the team, quickly pulled down the ring of the living and pulled the horse backwards. The guards hurriedly pulled out some arrows from the arrow bag and inserted them on the ground so that they could quickly obtain them.

Opposite was a team of about a hundred or so people, each carrying swords, wooden shields, flying axes and javelins, and some bows and arrows waiting for the command of their leaders to massacre.

"Kill these bastards for me, but I don't listen to them. Make them into ice sculptures and add some scenery to this road! Kill... Kill!" The robber leader is a man about two meters tall. He carried two double-edged axes and saw that the merchants began to build a temporary defense system with carriages, and knew that he needed to bleed this time to get what he wanted, so he issued an offensive order without hesitation.

With a distance of less than a hundred meters, the bow and arrow can only be shot twice by these robbers. The simple defense system that has not been pieced together cannot stop the impact of these robbers. At that time, with less than fifty people being able to fight, it will not be able to withstand the other party's massacre at all.

Under the careful protection of the two guards next to him, Shaoke began to chant spells quickly. In order to quickly block the attacks of these robbers, he did not even release the protective spell this time. He formed seals with both hands, and a fireball slowly formed in front of him. Shaoke pushed it out loud. The fireball dragged the flame tail more than two meters long and roared towards the robbers rushing towards him. At this time, the female mage also skillfully released the "fireball technique", but the speed was a little slower than Shaoke, but Bishaoke had to go up the line without using the skill of forming seals with both hands.

The appearance of the two fireballs scared the crazy robbers. Although they were evading the terrifying fireballs flying in, under the spirit of the mages, only those who were lucky enough to hide in places with few people escaped their lives. Shaoko's fireballs have been locking on the robber leader with two axes, because there were the most people gathering around him, and he also wanted to make the other party lose command and reduce their strength and fighting spirit in disguise.

"Boom!" Under Shaoke's hopeful blow, a faint white light flashed suddenly on the head leader's body. Part of these white lights gathered on the axe in his hand, and the other was tightly pressed against him. The two axes crossed the fireballs that had no time to change direction, and a violent explosion occurred. The robbers around him were burned by the flames and screamed. The flames on their bodies rolled a few times on the ground and still would not go out. They started burning on the thick clothes and the strong ones. Fortunately, they were directly hit by the small flames that were scattered on the fireballs and died happily. At least they didn't have to endure the pain for so long.

The female mage's fireball also hit a dense crowd, killing six or seven robbers, and several robbers were burned by the scattered flames, and probably lost their combat power.

The robber leader who intercepted Shaoke's fireball was hit hard. Fortunately, he moved his fighting spirit more quickly, which avoided being directly bombarded into barbecue. But after all, the incident happened suddenly. He did not expect that there would be mages in this caravan. The fighting spirit in his body was not fully mobilized, so he was seriously injured under the attack of the fireball. His two axes were destroyed, and he also seriously injured the hateful mage. Hate! You said, how could a mage appear in a broken caravan? And when two were released, they would have appeared, why didn't you say it earlier, otherwise this misunderstanding would not have occurred! You said that the mage was the same, why didn't you come out to cool off? It also made me prepare early!

Not to mention that the robber leader vomited blood and complained, Shaoke quickly began to prepare a second spell to "Spider Web" and the white ball flew to the one with the most robbers. Under the control of the mage, two people suddenly exploded after seeing the horror of the spell. After seeing another spell attack, they suddenly burst out. Somehow, they rolled and crawled twice as fast as before and were not trapped by "Spider Web". This made Shaoke, who had been paying attention, sigh. It seemed that life was still the most important, but fortunately, they did not burst out with any fighting spirit.

The female mage still used fireball technique, but the effect was not great this time. The robbers no longer dared to rush forward. The leader was hit by a hateful fireball and didn't know where to fly. The soldiers didn't know who they worked hard for, so they threw away the weapons in their hands and fled wildly. They were smarter and did not give up some of the small weapons on their bodies. After all, they still had to defend themselves!

When the two mages saw that the robbers were all scattered and ran away, the effect of using spells in this case was not great, and perhaps not as effective as a bow and arrow! So they gave up the pursuit. After all, it took time to restore magic and mental power. Besides, it was also the first time Shaoke killed people, which was different from killing monsters. Seeing others killing people, Shaoke felt a little disgusted now. After turning his head to look at the female mage, the other party's face was a little passionately blushed, but his lips were a little pale, which seemed not very pleasant.

The merchants and the guards who had just been preparing to shoot archers were stunned and looked at the tragic situation in front of them. Although they knew that these mysterious mages were very powerful, they had never seen mages really deal with enemies. Now this situation not only satisfied their past curiosity, but also relieved the crisis. After a moment of silence, they cheered loudly.

Since the robbers had already escaped and there were not many guards, in order to pursue them, there were only a few guards who wanted to show off in front of the powerful mage. After shooting out a few arrows, they just landed behind the desperado. The merchants began to command their guards to clean the battlefield, and then they hurriedly surrounded Shaoko and the others, saluting respectfully to express their gratitude.
