my age of magic

Chapter 613 112. Nightmare Assassin and Substitute Doll

On the eve of dawn, the sky has just emerged white, the dark blue night is gradually fading, the stars are slowly fading, the mountain scenery of Mount Majaro in the distance is immersed in the thick night like ink, the night sky is like There was a magical hand that wiped the night into day little by little, and the street lights on both sides of the street went out one by one.

At this time, people are still immersed in dreamland, falling into a deep sleep, and with the rising sun, this city that can't be seen at a glance wakes up little by little.I suddenly woke up from the sofa, feeling as if a pair of cold eyes were looking at me from a distance, and the figure of that person was hidden on a roof somewhere behind the mist. It's the shackles that bind my body, making it impossible for me to breathe.

I feel a strong murderous intent locking me from far away. That feeling makes me a little strange, but also a little familiar. It feels like someone is immersing me in cold water. I try to open my mouth to shout and struggle, but Can't make any sound.

A string of crisp horseshoe bells on the street outside woke me up from my sleep. It was like a nightmare, and I was covered in sticky cold sweat.

My abnormal state woke up Kalancuo who was lying on my lap. She also seemed to feel the faint killing intent. She tensed all the muscles and jumped off the sofa as if she was facing an enemy. Get up, jump to the window like a female leopard, and stare out of the window like an enemy...

……

A black light and shadow rushed out of the courtyard extremely quickly, and he was wrapped under the black robe, as light as the wind.

If it weren't for the neighing of the scaled horse outside the courtyard, I'm afraid I would have been killed by him in my sleep. There is such a thing that can trap people in a dream when they fall into a deep sleep, and then use their means to kill them. Death, this is the assassination skill of the 'dream maker', the oldest inheritance among assassins, I never thought that one day, I would meet it.

If it wasn't for the gentle sound of the horseshoe bell waking me up, maybe Kalantso and I would have died at the hands of this nightmare assassin.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a cool breeze blowing from the back of my spine.

Pulled out the Thorium long-barreled shotgun from the magic pouch, stood up from the sofa, and rushed out with a stride, my legs were still slightly numb, but I didn't care about it at all, I pushed open the door and chased out.

At this time, the black figure had rushed to the street.

'charge'

A mass of white light rushed straight to the escaping black shadow. A knight in silver armor was wrapped in the white light. He was wearing a 'Knight's Shield' in front of him, and he was holding a crusader's shield in his other hand. The sword, the speed of the knight's charge, seemed to have reached the extreme, making a sound like thunder rushing through the air.

Like a wall, it directly blocked the shadow's path.

I have even felt the collision between the two people in the next second. Of course, the knight wearing metal armor and holding a shield has a great advantage. If the knight in silver armor charges and hits, the black shadow is likely was directly hit and flew.

Kalancuo stood at the door and pulled out his hunting bow. The feathered arrow had locked on the man in black.

I stopped and picked up the thorium shotgun in my hand. The bullet trajectory clearly appeared in my eyes. I just waited for the silver armored knight surrounded by white light to stop the black-clothed assassin. gun……

However, just when the white light transformed by the knight touched the corner of the black-clothed assassin's clothes, the black-clothed assassin made a 'cloak' and turned into a wisp of black mist that floated in the air, and the silver-armored knight suddenly Flicking to nothing, he stood there stunned, waving the crusader sword in his hand angrily, looking around, trying to find out the man in black who was hiding in the dark.

I am eager to catch the assassin who hides in the darkness. I know this kind of concealment technique, and the most taboo is 'area spell damage'.

Dazed by hatred for a while, he didn't care so much at all, he directly took out a scroll of 'Frost Nova' from his backpack, quickly said a spell, then unfolded the scroll in his hand, and put the scroll Slamming directly at the feet of the silver-armored knight, the light blue magic circle continued to expand as the scroll flew down, and those magic runes glowed brilliantly in the air.

I didn't even look at the knight directly, and directly formed an ice shield in front of him, blocking his whole body.

All the runes on the magic scroll appeared, and countless water-type magic elements condensed rapidly in the air, and then the air suddenly became cold, as if all the air was suddenly sucked into the sub-dimensional space by the scroll, and all the surrounding air quickly Condensed towards the magic scroll, and in the next second, everything seemed to be still.

A huge ice ring emerged from the magic circle released by the scroll, and spread to the surroundings with an unstoppable force. This ice ring froze all the obstacles it could meet into ice.

The man in black was hanging in the air like a big bird, frozen solid by the 'Frost Nova'.

Kalancuo's hunting bow was one step ahead of me, and with a 'collapse' sound, a feathered arrow was shot, and only a phantom could be seen flashing in the air, and it was difficult for the eyes to catch up with the galloping arrow.

Immediately afterwards, the shotgun in my hand also slammed, and a tongue of flame spewed out, and the projectile with the "flame tongue weapon" spun rapidly, shooting towards the man in black who turned into a lump of ice sculpture in the air , The arrow hit the man in black in the ice block that fell from the air without hindrance, and the feather arrow was deeply nailed into the ice block, which was covered with cracks.

There is a bad premonition in my heart.

The lead pellet was also shot into the ice block afterwards, and the flame force from the explosion of the 'Flame Tongue Weapon' exploded directly on the surface of the ice block, and the ice block shattered all over the place.

A humanoid puppet appeared from the ice, and it fell to the ground with a 'click' and fell to pieces. Countless fine magic runes were engraved on the puppet.

There was a feathered arrow stuck in the puppet's chest, and there was a black hole in the center of the head made by a lead shot. The magic power of the puppet was passing away rapidly, and the magic runes gradually dimmed.

'Stand-In Doll', the most famous magic prop in Orianna's magic puppet store except for the magic prosthesis: it can resist a magic damage of the same level or below for the user.However, this kind of magic item is also notoriously expensive, and it is definitely not affordable for ordinary people. Its value is definitely no less than a first-level magic pattern structure.

You should know that if a general small noble family has a set of magic pattern structure, it can be passed down from generation to generation, and that set of magic pattern structure is also a huge fortune.

I don't know what kind of rich people are able to use such an extremely expensive "substitute puppet" without any scruples. I knew a long time ago that this extremely luxurious magic item is also far away in the store. I stopped to watch and appreciate it from afar, but of course I couldn’t see anything from such a long distance. Now that there are such damaged ‘substitute dolls’, I don’t want to waste them, so I quickly picked them up from the ground and put them on quickly. into the magic fanny pack.

At this time, Louis, who was wearing a silver battle armor, chopped the ice shield in front of him with a sword, and then walked up.

When I saw that the person who came to help was Louis, it dawned on me that he must have come from Emerald Bay in person along with the carriages loaded with supplies. I didn’t expect him to come by accident and save me by accident. And Kalanzo, I secretly thought: Fortunately, he can come in person, it seems that the assassin is very afraid of him.

Louis snorted coldly, "Chase!"

At this time, his face was gloomy as if he was going to kill someone, he casually threw the 'Knight's Shield' aside, turned around and ran towards the convoy recklessly.

I really don't know how much hatred the man in black has against him. Speaking of it, I should hate the man in black even more!
I stood behind him and watched him striding towards the convoy in a daze, thinking: He really has a character of jealousy.

……

"Go up to the roof, he's over there!" Kalantso said softly to me, her eyes fixed on the house diagonally across the street.

I also seemed to feel that faint killing intent, without any hesitation, I ran directly to my house.

Kalantso stuck closely behind me, and we rushed to the door tacitly. After Kalantso took two or three steps forward, he stepped on the window sill and touched the eaves with his other hand, like a It climbed up the roof like a civet.

I don't have such excellent jumping ability as Kalancuo, so I can only climb up from the window sill of the house. Fortunately, I often climbed the tall Thunder Rhinoceros when I was a child, so I haven't completely forgotten those skills.

Although the movements are somewhat indecent, they can be considered to climb up the roof with agility.

I was panting slightly, holding a long-barreled thorium shotgun in my hand, looking through layers of fog for the assassin who just watched me on the roof over there.

In the faint mist in the distance, a faint killing intent receded like the tide. A tall man in black was wrapped in gray bandages all over his body, and one of his eyes shone faintly in the mist. With a red light, he saw that I was holding a Thorium long-barreled shotgun, and the sight of the muzzle was already aimed at him. Without any hesitation, he jumped off the roof and disappeared into the courtyard.

Before I put down the shotgun, the black shadow flashed out from behind the roof again, and disappeared into the thick fog instantly after a few bounces.

I remembered that when I came out of the elf tavern yesterday, I had the feeling of being watched. Looking back now, maybe it was the assassin who fled into the mist.

Kalancuo wanted to chase after him, but I quickly grabbed him with my sharp eyesight, and then said, "Forget it, don't chase, you are not familiar with the environment here in the imperial capital."

I asked Karanto, "You saw him, didn't you?"

Kalancuo nodded, and said a little strangely: "A very strange assassin, I didn't notice him approaching. I am an orc from the wolf tribe, and the tribe with the most sensitive ears among the orc tribe!"

"He used a special method to make us fall asleep. According to the ancient magic book in the Magic Academy, this is a very ancient assassination profession 'Dream Maker'." I explained the origin of this profession to Kalancuo , and good magic skills.

Finally, after changing the subject, I said to her, "But why do I feel that the man in black at the back and the one in front are not the same person at all?"

"I smelled a familiar smell from the assassin in the back. I can smell the orc, but unfortunately it's not a wolf orc. I can feel it." Kalancuo said to me again: "It's still Lu Call Ka from the botanical garden in the water system ecological garden, you need a warrior to protect you."

"Let me think again!" I said to Kalanzo.

……

At this time, there was a neighing of a steed on the street. A tall knight in exquisite silver scale armor was riding on a lin horse. The whip whipped out a very loud whistle in the air. The lin horse carried the knight and turned into a shooting star. He chased after the black shadow in the mist, and it was Louis who returned to the convoy. He was riding a war horse, waving his whip, and chased down the long street.

Louis belongs to the Royal Gripen Knights and is an excellent Knight of the Praetorian Guard. His riding skills are very superb.

The horse let go of its four hooves and galloped wildly, crossed the low bush wall easily, and disappeared at the intersection of the street in a blink of an eye. Several followers of Louis, like several whirlwinds, rode after them, probably worried about Louis Something went wrong.

There were five magic caravans loaded with goods parked on the street, with sacks of wheat flour neatly placed on them, and cotton cloth and twine on another carriage. It was unexpected that they came so early.

There was a charioteer sitting in each carriage, and Bud stood at the front of the convoy. Although his face was a little ugly, he pretended to be calm and guarded the two sides of the magic caravan with a group of knights. The wind is light and cloudless.

Those knights didn't panic because of the sudden incident. They stood on both sides of the convoy, standing upright. No one dared to whisper to each other. Every knight remained vigilant and watched the surrounding situation silently. It's like facing a big enemy.

I quickly slid down the roof tiles from the ridge.

Kalantso was standing under the eaves, and she took the opportunity to reach out and catch me who was flying down.

Fortunately, Bud walked in from the street with his belly full at this time, which eased our ambiguity and embarrassment.

His leather boots stepped heavily on the lawn in the yard, and the grass clippings kept rising back along his heels. When he saw Kalanzo, Bud's eyes also flashed a look of surprise, He walked up humbly, and then said very kindly: "Baron Jijia, all the supplies you listed on the demand list have been prepared, do you need to help you transport them into the house?"

I gestured with my hands and said, "Yes, before that, please help me move out those primary magic herbs from the underground storage room. Those magic herbs are what I promised to Mr. Louis."

"It's a great honor to be able to serve you!" When Bud spoke, his posture was very low, and he said with a smile when he heard that I asked them to carry the herbs first.

"But speaking of it, Louis went after the assassin, so we stay here, is it really okay?" I frowned, and then looked at the intersection of Long Street. Louis disappeared in that direction, and he hasn't disappeared yet. Any news, I asked anxiously.
