    Chapter 119 When people make mistakes, horses sometimes stumble, and the man in black escapes

    ¡°Whoosh¡ªwhoosh¡ªwhoosh¡ª¡±

    In the thick smoke, countless sharp flying knives cut through the air and shot directly at Alati.

    Arati snorted disdainfully, danced his scimitars together, and deflected all the flying knives. At the same time, his feet silently moved a few steps to the right.

    Several more flying knives flew out, but they had missed Alati's position, hit the far wall, and bounced to the ground.  After realizing this situation, no more flying knives were fired from the thick smoke.  Obviously, the man in black could not confirm the position of others in the thick fog, and the attack just now was just a test based on the memory in his mind, and he gave it a try.

    "Do you have any tricks that you haven't used yet?" Alati said loudly, "If you don't have any, I advise you to surrender. My master is tolerant and generous, and with your skills, I will not treat you lightly.  "

    "Alas" The man in black sighed, his voice erratic, and said quietly, "Let me think about it for a moment."

    "Excuse me, please." Arati said calmly without pressing.

    Both sides agreed not to say more.  You must know that truly powerful warriors do not just engage in hand-to-hand combat. They exert tremendous psychological pressure on their enemies through various internal and external factors, which is also an indispensable and important part of the battle.  But only a master of this art knows the specific secrets.

    As time passed, the sudden white smoke finally began to slowly dissipate.

    "Ouch" Suddenly, a guard on the stairs staggered and collided with another person next to him.

    "What's going on?" Although Arati was in the fog, his hearing was not affected and was still sharp. He immediately asked after hearing the sound.

    "Sir, it seems" The guard looked around, hesitated, and then said hesitantly, "It seems like someone squeezed me just now But, there was obviously no one there. Maybe maybe it was my imagination.  Bar¡­¡­"

    Everyone was silent for a while.

    "Not good!" Isabel suddenly reacted, rushed up the steps, and said urgently, "Arati, you are here, I will go up and take a look!"

    However, before the girl could rush to the entrance of the stairs, there was a noise from the mechanism behind the altar, and the door of the secret passage closed on its own.

    "Damn it!" Isabel cursed angrily, stamped her feet, and turned around and said, "No need to wait, I think that person has probably gone out. Everyone spread out quickly and search for any switches around the secret passage."

    "Why did you let him go out? Didn't you ask you to guard the stairs?" Arati withdrew from the smoke and looked at the dejected guards with sharp eyes.

    Everyone present felt the boiling anger in the heart of this powerful warrior for no reason, and they all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

    "Forget it, Arati, you can't blame them." Isabel had calmed down, waved her hand, and explained, "I guess that person must have gone out after becoming invisible. No wonder he would rather take risks to create this smoke.  Otherwise, we will be able to react immediately and not give him this opportunity. Okay, everyone, don't be stunned and quickly find the mechanism that opens the secret passage. This is not a place to stay for a long time, we have to get out quickly."

    By this time, the thick smoke released by the burning smoke rod has completely dissipated.  Sure enough, there was no trace of the man in black in the room.  The guards spread out, knocking on every wall tile along the stairs, fiddling with any suspicious carvings, and searching aimlessly for the mechanism that opened the secret door overhead from the interior.

    "I have never heard of any alchemy item that can make people invisible so effectively. It can only be an invisibility potion." Arati walked around the platform to make sure that the other party was not cleverly hidden, and then returned to Isabel's  The person beside him shook his head and sighed, "He is really willing to give it up It's three thousand gold coins for a bottle. I don't know if all the things in the hall are worth it together."

    "No matter how good the gold coin is, you have to have the life to spend it. As soon as you see something can't be done, you will leave immediately without stopping for a moment. That guy is quite a character." Isabel smiled and her eyes fell on the man on the ground.  The tone of the man in gray became a little complicated, "However, they are alchemy props and magic potions. These people are not ordinary people! When did my Saranvania start to change?"  Is it so lively?"

    "Regarding this, I think the man just now did not lie. He is agile, and he is also good at throwing knives in one hand. His strength is far better than that of ordinary knights. If he is covered with messy things, even your father can't deal with it.  ??, it¡¯s not easy to come by, and the outcome is uncertain.  In their organization, it is absolutely impossible to be an insignificant person.  "Arati shook his head and slowly expressed his opinion, "The area near Fubo Castle has been a gray area under uncontrolled control for many years. Even if any dark organization chooses to do business here, it is normal.  .  If that person really escaped with his life this time, there was no way he wouldn't investigate it carefully after he returned.  I don¡¯t believe that the so-called ¡®Dark Dagger Society¡¯ would provoke you and Mr. Sebastian, two magicians, just for these trivial losses and face.  I'm afraid my guess is correct. There may be something wrong with their intelligence network.  "

    "So, you haven't heard of the name of this organization?" Isabel frowned and asked.

    "My lord, have you forgotten that I am not from Delaware." Arati shrugged and said, "If a local like you has never heard of it, how could I possibly know about it."

    "Forget it, even if there is trouble in the future, I will just take care of it." Isabel thought about it carefully and then no longer cared about it. "After all, they are just some shady underground organizations. If they are really influential, how can  Probably not the slightest bit famous.¡±

    "That's not necessarily true. As far as I know, there are indeed some powerful dark organizations whose reputations are not known to the world. Of course, it is unknown whether these include the Dark Dagger Society. At the moment, I just hope that organization  The leader must be sensible enough." Although Arati was not afraid of threats, he did not want his young monarch to be too cautious, so he had to explain without stopping.  Seeing the girl nodding thoughtfully, he knew that his reminder had an effect, so he changed the topic calmly, "Speaking of which, sir, you are actually able to tell that the dragon is a fake at a glance.  . This kind of eyesight is greatly admired by my subordinates. Although I have some doubts in my heart, I am very ashamed. In my eagerness, I really couldn't see any flaws."

    "It's actually very simple to say. There's nothing to admire at all." Isabel smiled and shook her head, "Maybe you noticed it at that time. I just took action on it first"

    "Could it bethat faint flash of light?" Arati reacted immediately.

    "Yes, but it is not a flash of light. It is an unformed magic missile." Isabel raised her head with some satisfaction and explained patiently, "This spell can only work on living things, but it has no effect on objects.  Effect. Therefore, the moment the spell failed, I understood. No matter what the thing in front of me was, it could never be a dragon."

    "It really surprises me! I didn't expect that magic missiles can have such an effect." As a target who has personally experienced the power of this spell, Arati raised his eyebrows and said in a strange tone.

    "Sebastian said," Isabel closed her eyes slightly, seeming to be lost in memories, and said in a calm tone, "Whether we are warlocks or mages, as humans, our time and energy  After all, it is limited. Since you cannot master a large amount of magic, then carefully study the magic you have learned so that it can be used more delicately and flexibly. In limited magic, there are always infinite possibilities."

    Old-fashioned preaching!  Although he agreed that Sebastian's words were somewhat reasonable, Arati still muttered unconvincedly in his heart.

    "But, sir," the powerful warrior seemed to have thought of something, and asked, "What if after you use the magic missile, it really hits the dragon?"

    "What should I do?" Isabel opened her eyes and looked at Arati up and down as if she didn't know him. She looked at Arati inexplicably and then said leisurely, "Then we all have to rush forward together and risk our lives."

    "This" This unexpected answer made Arati stunned, and said with a wry smile, "This is too"

    "What's too big? That's a red dragon! It's the most brutal and powerful evil dragon. Just by looking at its size, you can tell that it must be at least an old dragon. Its intelligence may be higher than that of an archmage. Could it be that you still  Do you expect it to spare us just by talking nonsense?" Isabel glanced at her subordinate who was dumbfounded and said slowly, "In this narrow space for it, if we take action first, at least we can still have something.  The possibility of burning the boat and fighting with our lives. If we get dizzy and turn around and escape from this temple, when the red dragon takes flight, we will definitely be dead."

    Although the girl¡¯s words seemed to make sense, Arati still couldn¡¯t laugh.  He forced the muscles on his face to beat a few times in agreement.

    ¡°My lord, I found it!¡±, ¡°Here¡ªhere¡ª!¡±

    The guards on the stairs suddenly became excited.?Call out.  They removed a large piece of hollow masonry from the wall. Behind it, there was a metal lever. It was unknown where it was connected and what mechanism it controlled.

    "It should be that it is right, and no other mechanisms have been found. Now, I can only pray that it is not a trap deliberately set up." Isabel and Arati observed carefully for a while, but the so-called rows are separated by mountains, and they were not able to  You can see some clues.

    "Well, let's give it a try. If not, we will have to force the door out." Although he was trapped in the room, Arati did not panic.  The magic scimitar in his hand is extremely sharp. As long as you spend some time and effort, it is not difficult to destroy the thick secret door.

    Isabel nodded and waved her hand to order the guards to stand a few steps away.

    Arati took a breath, put his guard up, and pulled the lever fiercely.

    There was a huge friction sound of masonry above the head, and in the silent expectation of everyone, the secret door slowly moved away.

    Isabel quickly climbed up the stairs, emerged from the secret passage, stepped out from behind the altar, and looked around.  The blinding darkness could not block the girl's supernatural vision for even a moment, and a black and white picture appeared in front of her eyes.

    Apart from the messy piles of goods everywhere, there was no trace of the man in black in the hall.  Isabel sighed, knowing that she had just wasted a lot of time down there, and with the skill that the man showed, she might have gone far.

    When everyone stepped out of the temple, they were greeted by the ashamed second team guarding the entrance.  It turned out that a moment ago, for some unknown reason, the horse Arati was riding went crazy and broke away from the reins, never to return.  The two guards hurriedly followed him, but they couldn't catch up. They had no choice but to turn back in frustration.

    Isabel kindly comforted these guilty young people.  The girl knew in her heart that the horse did not escape on her own, but was ridden away by the man in black.  However, given the opponent's ability, he only stole the horse while the guards were not paying attention, instead of killing all the people in the group to vent their anger, which can be regarded as a great blessing among misfortunes.  Thinking about it, maybe as the man said before, his organization really had no intention of having a head-on conflict with a territorial baron.

    "Sir, the traces of the horses escaping are very clear. Do we want to pursue them?" Arati carefully observed the surrounding environment and turned around to ask.  It can be seen that he was a little uncomfortable letting an enemy who was not as powerful as himself escape smoothly.

    ¡°Forget it, for the sake of that guy¡¯s sense, let¡¯s let him go this time.¡± Isabel hesitated, shook her head, and rejected Alati¡¯s proposal.

    "Yes, I understand." Arati pursed his lips, but no longer insisted.

    He is the only one who is good at tracking, and now only Isabel's Natasha is left.  Even if he really insists on chasing him alone, the man in black is very slippery and there is no guarantee that he won't use any tricks again.

    "Okay, boys, the battle is over. The injured can be simply bandaged now and treated properly after returning." Isabel no longer thought about the mysterious man in black, clapped her hands hard, and ordered loudly,  "Ete, are you from Fasta Village? Take a few people back to the village, notify the village chief to prepare a few cargo carriages, and send more people over to transport the loot back. Be careful on the road, if you encounter a rout  There is no need to hunt down the goblins and kobolds anymore.¡±

    "As you command, my lord!" Aite puffed up his chest and responded loudly.

    This battle is the first battle for the guards, and also their first victory.  For everyone present, the victory of this battle is of great significance.  These young people, who have not yet recovered from their excitement, seem to be able to vaguely see their glorious and happy future.
