Chapter 79: The Mage's Terror (Part 1)
Chapter 79: The Horror of the Mage (Part 1)
It was midsummer and rainy season. On this day, less than three hours after Salin and others left a town, it started to rain in the sky. The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Rex and Salin were all fine, and Shika and Neris were soaked all over and had to find a place to shelter from the rain.
The two of them were strong and it didn't matter if they were in the rain, but the horses could not stand the heavy rain. They walked for several miles and finally saw a wild shop.
This kind of roadside wild shop is quite large and survives entirely by earning gold coins from merchants. Rex and Salin rushed directly into the huge courtyard of the wild shop with an invisible shield. He immediately came out and led the horses of the four people behind.
This road is mostly merchants, mercenaries, pure adventurers and mages. The waiter said carefully: "Master, we don't have a separate room here..."
"It's okay, it's here." Rex pointed to the seat by the window and said. The wild shop is not small in size, but there is no decoration, and the tables and chairs are all rough logs.
Outside the window there are large eaves, corridor columns, and courtyard walls that block the wind and rain cannot blow in.
When the two mages came to this wild shop, they naturally attracted the attention of the boss. Another waiter sent a towel, but Salin didn't ask for it. Rex directly used a cleaning technique and then added a fire washing technique. The rainwater on Neris and Shika was evaporated.
The boss didn't dare to come forward to harass him, so he quietly ordered the waiter to change into a brand new tea set, boil hot water again, and serve these four seemingly difficult guys first.
Salin and others did not feel that they were difficult to deal with. If Rex had been going out in the past, the pompous appearance of going out was greater. Now she at least had no sword saint to serve her. Two of her four black iron sword saints were killed, and two of them had been hiding in the magic tower to recover from their injuries. Because the place to go was Alchemy City, she didn't even bring an assassin.
If it weren't for the sake of keeping the secret, there would be at least a few low-level mages around her. In addition to the magicians, only Salin and others knew about the divine punishment of hell.
Salin took out a set of tea sets from the demon's ring, made a piece of repair water himself, and used the simulated burning technique to make tea for Rex.
There were more than a dozen people in the store shelter from the rain. Salin's actions did not arouse any dissatisfaction. Everyone lowered their heads and did not want to provoke these two magicians. People who went out of businessmen had great eyesight. The temperaments of these two magicians looked completely different from those of ordinary low-level magicians, and no one dared to think of thousands of ways to chat with them.
Low-level mages may also be hired by merchants for the sake of gold coins. Even if intermediate mages are short of money, there are mercenaries above level 4 to compete for offerings, and it is not the turn of these merchants.
The store was quiet for a moment, and Rex looked at the rain by the window and became very calm.
Going to Alchemy City was not her temporary idea. When she obtained the ten-story magic tower by the God-Punishment Hell, she had this plan. However, after returning to the Meers Continent, the sudden change made her unable to accept it, so she advanced the plan.
Kushui County has money but lacks people. An eight-level magician is enough for the county and country, but if you want to become a real country and not rely on the power of others, you cannot do without a nine-level magician.
If the passage between him and the Divine Punishment Hell could be opened, the teacher would soon be promoted to the ninth level magician with the help of the six-yuan space. By that time, the Kushui County will be the real country.
It is not possible to rely solely on personal abilities to avenge my father. There are as many strong men in the Holy See as Alchemy City. No matter how talented I am, I cannot rely on my personal strength to fight against the entire Holy See.
She now understood Salin's feelings. She knew where the enemy was, but she couldn't take revenge. She glanced at the tea that Salin made for her and smiled: "You still keep this?"
This tea set was left by her when she was in Saint Rock City, and was put away by Salin.
"It's quite expensive. You know, my family was poor when I was a child." Salin was not embarrassed either. In fact, he didn't like the things that Rex had used and were used by others. He didn't know this idea at the time, but now he can confirm it.
Rex pursed his lips and did not expose Salin. Salin did not express his affection for her like those swordsmen. She was also afraid that Salin's face would be tender, so she would embarrass him when she said it.
The waiter gave the snacks, and Rex took a look, but did not move. The habit she developed since childhood was not to eat outside. Nelise was not afraid of this. Even if the snacks were highly toxic, it was nothing to her.
After becoming an adult, her appetite improved a lot and she no longer tended to eat blood. After seeing Salin helper Shika detect it, she reached out and went straight to catch it.
The four of them were originally sheltered from the rain, and Salin was not hungry, so only Sica and Neris ate them. These two people were outrageous and had a bit amazing appetite. They both ate a lot at a time and could endure hunger for a long time. From this point of view, the Caucasus region was indeed poor, and their way of survival was somewhat close to the demon plane.
The rushing sound of horse hooves came in the rain. Xika randomly stuffed the snacks into her mouth, wiped them, quietly wiped her hands, pulled out the boomerang, and placed them on her legs.
The horse's hooves are very fast, and no matter how heavy the rain is, it will not make the knights rush like this. No matter how strong the horse is, the blood will boil for a few minutes when running at the extreme speed, and it will be useless if it is not dead. The horses on the battlefield must control their speed, otherwise the horses will be able to run to death when they are excited.
The knight ran so wildly that he would only do this when he was escaping. Sika usually doesn't care about everything, but he is extremely sensitive to combat.
"It's really a terrible interest." Rex naturally heard the meaning conveyed by the sound of horse hooves, and was a little excited.
"Shika, don't do it." Salin whispered. He didn't want to get involved in any combat power. The empire has not yet fallen into war. Such things should be left to the local nobles.
Shika nodded. If Salin didn't let her care, of course she wouldn't bother to do it.
The store was mostly merchants and low-level mercenaries. There was nothing to hear in the sound of such heavy rain, but it was still quiet. Salin looked out of the window and saw more than twenty fast horses rushing straight into the yard. Although it was in the heavy rain, the horse's knight was still stained with blood and was not washed away by the rain.
It seemed that these people had been bitten very tightly, and the battle probably never stopped. In the end, there were more than ten feather arrows inserted on their bodies, and the arrows were not shot deep, and it seemed that they were stuck in the metal armor.
Qin Yin's casting technology is very advanced, and the interlocking armor can also resist bows and arrows. Unless it is facing an alchemy crossbow, it is difficult to be seriously injured by feather arrows.
More than 20 knights rushed into the yard and immediately turned around and closed the door. More than a dozen of them pulled the two four-wheeled carriages parked in the yard to the front of the door, chopped off the wheels, and blocked the gate.
There was a parking place in the courtyard, and the two carriages were originally from the same caravan. Seeing the knights taking action, they destroyed the carriage. More than a dozen mercenaries stood up at the same time and looked at their employer.
More than 20 people who rushed into the yard were agile and wore high-end metal armor. These mercenaries really didn't want to provoke them, but if they collected money from their employers, they would lose their reputation completely if they didn't go up to negotiate at this time.
Salin saw it and made a clearer distinction. Among the more than 20 knights, there were at least five sword masters, and the strongest of the dozen mercenaries in the store was just a high-level swordsman.
Two knights with arrow wounds were carried to the shop. Their companions pushed away the waiter who came up to him, put the four tables together, rushed down the injured knight's face, and carefully cut off the arrow shaft outside the armor with a dagger. Then they carefully untie the injured man's armor, and then pulled out the arrow that shot into the muscles.
"Hurry up, this arrow is poisonous!"
"yes."
Several other knights opened their skins and found the medicine to help the injured knight clean the wounds and apply medicines. The knights in the yard also got off the horse. One of the tall and thin knights looked like the commander, wearing dark blue armor and a short gun in hand, and striding into the store.
"Who is the boss?" the knight commander shouted loudly.
"It's me."
The boss who was originally going to greet Salin and others at any time at any time came out with a grim temper. He was in his forties, with a round face and a kind appearance that was now full of sorrow. He has been opening a shop here for more than ten years and has never encountered such a thing.
"I am a swordsman from the Forest Trading Company. When I encounter a thief group, I have to borrow your place." When the knight spoke, he glanced at Salin and others by the window. When he came in, he saw the magician. He was also shocked. When he talked to the boss, his tone became softer involuntarily.
Unexpectedly, a swordsman beside him shouted loudly at Salin and said, "That mage, go out and help!"
Salin's demon suit is a close-fitting equipment. Now it's worn outside. The white mage robe given to him by the teacher. Ordinary swordsmen can't tell the difference between his true strength and just think that he is a second-level little mage. The colorful mage robe worn by Rex is more like a good thing. If it is not a level 4 mage above, it will not even be able to see its value.
Shika and Neris had never practiced sword energy, and they were not as good as strength. The swordsman was anxious and his tone was quite tough.
The Knight Commander's heart sank, but he didn't scold his subordinates immediately. He also wanted to see what the young mage reacted. In Qin Yin, the mage's status is indeed very high, but because there are many low-level mages, a swordsman-level figure like him doesn't have to bow to a little mage.
Salin just shook his head. He had no intention of helping, but he didn't want to hurt these knights. The knight commander said it very clearly that the thieves were chasing them.
The location of this wild shop is very close to the next town. If you ride a horse, it will take only one hour. The town belongs to a baron, and the baron is also a figure. He has ten heavy cavalry and more than 30 swordsmen in his hand, so he manages the nearby public security well. If the auxiliary soldiers are included, the town can gather two or three hundred people.
