God's Chosen Archmage

Chapter 40 The mastermind behind the scenes
Rolling all the way, Ed finally rolled to the end of the secret passage.I knew the secret way in advance, just because I was afraid that Kongde would escape.But now it has become a life-saving secret that saved his and Helen's lives.

At this time, Helen who was underneath woke up slowly.She wiped Ed's back and couldn't help screaming.

"It's blood, brother Ed, you've shed a lot of blood! That damn vixen dared to hurt you..."

"Don't worry, it's just a skin injury." Ed gritted his teeth and signaled Helen Wei to bandage the wound himself. "That guy, it's not the maid you knew before, he's just a killer!"

Ed said bitterly, but he was secretly lucky in his heart.If he hadn't found out in advance that the maid was stumbling and staggering but she was doing a drunken fist, he would have been in danger this time!

While Helen was busy on him, Ed also took the opportunity to look at this so-called secret passage.

"Helen, this secret way is cultivated so gorgeously, how safe is it...how many people know this secret way."

"This is not a secret passage. It's just a place where Dad usually meditates." Helen said softly. "Except for my father and me, some close guards and servants all know the entrance to this place..."

Before she finished speaking, some stalagmites suddenly appeared on the ground!Even Ed, who has always been shrewd, was inevitably caught and captured.

"Hahaha... I didn't expect that two children who didn't even grow hair could escape the assassination of my loyal servant!"

With this loud laugh, a middle-aged man appeared in the sight of the two of them.This person is also a magician. Judging from the flow of magic power just now, this person is definitely a master.

"Who are you? Why are you trapping us?" Ed shouted in a deep voice.

"Who am I? Hehe, it seems that I don't need to explain to the two dying children?" The man wagged his fingers with a look of contempt.

"There is no enmity or enmity between us..."

"Fart!" the man shouted with a ferocious face. "Look! What a luxury that Smith is! Even though he is just a small low-level mage, the house he lives in is better than that of a high-level mage like me..."

"So, you kill him"

Ed tried his best to wink at Helen, and began to try to get out of trouble.He has always been wondering, like that dandy Kong De, how could he be so obedient and hide in the house pretending to be a tortoise.Now that this person appeared, all doubts were solved.

"Hehe, don't get me wrong. The one who actually killed Smith was the city lord Home. Heh heh, what he wants is money, but I only want Ace Smith to die..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly found that Ed had stood up, and the ground binding technique that was added just now was directly untied by him!

His own magic failed, but the man didn't panic. "I didn't expect that the magic defense circle can be used like this. It's a pity, thinking of a genius like you, but you are about to die... What kind of eyes do you have, do you still want to kill me?"

"You seem to have made two mistakes." Ed sneered. "One, what I released just now was just a shield to gain insight into the realm of true meaning. There is no arcane magic like a magic defense circle in this world. Two... Hehe, the person who is going to die is you!"

A black light flew towards the magician like this.At this time, throwing the thorn of thorns hidden in the body is also a good move, but I don't know if Ed's shoulder injury affected his hand feeling, and he shot the dagger directly into the air!
Of course, it was only an instant from Ed shooting the dagger to flying. Before the man had time to react from this series of changes, he heard a "poof", and his head was separated from his neck!
A ghost-like figure appeared again, and this person was the killer who had warned Ed before. "The thorn of thorns, um, this is indeed a good dagger. Unfortunately, I always like to behead..."

"Is it enough to exchange Nahom's life?"

The man glanced at Ed, and never took his eyes off the dagger.He only heard him muttering to himself: "I promised, I will never break my promise."

* *

"What? It's been so many days, and I still can't find a few children? Idiots! They are all idiots!"

In the city lord's mansion, the fat Hom was yelling at a group of his subordinates.It's not enough to catch Ed and the others, but what really annoys him is the rumors circulating in the market!

He, an earl of the city lord level, wants to rebel, what a joke!Although Hom claimed that he has the strength of a great swordsman, but no one in the capital knows that his strength is not even a high-level swordsman (seventh-level warrior profession) is very reluctant?
When it comes to rebellion, he is really not clean.If his benefactor, the Duke Gray who really wanted to rebel, knew that such news came from his territory, he would not have skinned himself!

"My lord!"

cried a moaning knight. "It's not that we didn't try our best, but we have searched the whole city several times in the past few days, but we just can't find those little brats! Did we hide in the Magic Guild..."

"fart!"

Home grabbed a candlestick and threw it at the head. "If I had escaped to the Magic Guild, I would have known it a long time ago, and I still use you trash!"

When the Magic Guild was mentioned, the muscles of Holm's persimmon face trembled wildly.Didn't it mean that other than being narrow-minded, those magicians don't care about money?Why are they so eager to extradite that female magician Ma Gelin after stuffing so much money in?

He pretended to fight again, but seeing those useless but loyal subordinates, he couldn't help but soften his heart.

"Okay, let's talk about it first, how much money you have made in the past few days."

"We didn't even let the children spend the copper coins to buy candy. My lord, if you continue like this, your territory may..."

Huo Mu stared bull-eyed: "What are you afraid of? The sky is falling and there will be a big man holding it up! It's not your turn to worry about it!"

Suddenly there was a commotion outside the door.A guard rushed in hastily. "It's not good, Lord Earl, Conde Smith, the head of the magic family in the city, was killed!"

"What the hell!" Holm was about to go crazy.He doesn't care whether Kongde is dead or not, but at this juncture, apart from this matter, if his quarrel with him is found out, no matter how much money is spent, the Magic Guild will not be able to spare him!
The more Holm thought about it, the more confused he became.The more confused I look at these stupid subordinates, the angrier I get!

"Get off...all to Lao Tzu! The guard stays and helps Lao Tzu put on the armor. I want to personally investigate the cause of Kongde's death."

Those knights and knights slipped away like an amnesty, and Home began to put on his armor in a hurry.

Suddenly, a cold air flashed behind his neck. The great swordsman Huom is a bit misnamed, but he is a veteran who has fought for many years.Without thinking about it, he threw the armor in his hand behind him, and immediately his bear-like body rolled on the spot as light as a civet.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he pulled out a close-fitting saber.

With a sword in his hand, Home's mind calmed down a bit, but before he could see his attacker clearly, a gust of cold wind flew towards his throat again!

He was so frightened that he hastened to use up his fighting spirit, and struck his chest with a sword.

"Ding!" Home's saber bent into an arc at once!Although this assassination was very ferocious, whether it was the sputtering of fire or the sound of the weapons colliding, they seemed insignificant!

This is a dagger specially used for assassination!And look at the swift skill of the assassin... Could it be that the head of the Sweetwater City Assassination Association personally attacked him?
Home was terrified.He shouted loudly, his fighting spirit was everywhere, and a saber was straightened immediately!
At the same time, a blast of cold air flew towards his right neck again!But compared to the previous two times, this attack can only be said to be out of standard!
Finally run out of strength to follow up the attack?Home actually breathed a sigh of relief.He had just raised his saber to the right, when a gust of cold wind protruded from his left neck!
At that moment, he seemed to hear the sound of his neck bone being severed!Suddenly, he seemed to see it.In addition to the assassin who killed him, there seemed to be a little boy.

"Well, was the blow to the right just now a false move to lure the enemy? I was too careless..."

Immediately, Home fell into endless darkness...

※※※

Maple Leaf City, the royal capital of the Fallen Leaf Kingdom.It has always been a rare bustling city in Shuanglong mainland.Maglin brought everyone here, but only for the Magic Tower in the northern suburbs of the city.

This is a tall tower over 1000 meters high. Although Ed has seen many magician residences along the way, this is the first time he has seen such a tall, mushroom-shaped magic tower.

Magelin gave everyone a comforting look, and she shouted loudly in front of the tower: "Master Stern Finley, I am Magelin Sterling of Norlin Swamp! As promised, I am here!" "

After a while, the gate of the magic tower opened suddenly, and a large circular stone platform also carried everyone to the top of the magic tower.

"Just wait a moment, Master Stern will come out in a while."

A shrill voice sounded, and everyone turned their heads to see that they were short in stature, with big and drooping pointed ears, and a timid face.

Like the goblin with the small and upturned pointed ears, this guy has green skin all over his body.But compared with common creatures like goblins.Dwarves have nothing to do with being dirty and rude at all...

This is a gray goblin.

On the mainland, there are two races of creatures that have served magicians for thousands of years.A small devil with horns on its head.This kind of creature can fly, and its combat strength is a fourth-level magic warrior (fourth-level fighter + fourth-level magician), and it is relatively proficient in various alchemy techniques.Although he is very greedy for money and likes to play pranks, he does not hide his flaws.

The other type is the not-so-intelligent, but honest gray goblin in front of me.

After a while, that Stern Finley really appeared. He was a forty-year-old man with a strong figure who didn't look like a magician.The navy blue magic robe and hat are neatly arranged, and the hair and short beard are neatly arranged.

That Chinese-character face with a sincere smile, although not particularly handsome, has a straight nose and a square mouth.

"Ma Green, you are still here."

"That's right, Master Finley, it's time for us to fulfill the agreement between you and me."

"You don't think about it anymore? With your foundation, it's perfectly fine to work hard for a few years..."

"Master Finley, let's not talk about this issue."

Stern sighed, but raised his hand in vain. A piece of parchment and a goose feather magic pen were flying in the air. Soon, a scroll was completed.

Ma Gelin finished the scroll, but sighed infrequently. She bent down and adjusted everyone's clothes. "Okay, my mission is over here. Remember, Master Finley is a ninth-level great magister. You must learn from him."

"Aunt Ma Green, can't you stay?" Pinkie asked innocently.She had cried countless times before coming here, and now her mood is stable.

"Auntie has auntie's dream, how can I delay you for this? Well, Auntie has something else to do, let's go first."

During this period, Ed also stepped forward to hug Ma Green to say goodbye, and gave him the earliest purple flame wand as a parting gift.He knew that with Ma Gelin's departure, he might not see the woman who took care of him in every possible way for a long time to come.
