Then a soft, yet cursed voice came out of it, but it soon disappeared into the darkness outside the flames, as if it was just a distorted illusion produced when the flames burned. £¤f
However, hallucinations should naturally not have sounds.
The magic power formed a vague sphere that enveloped the figures of the two women. Looking out from the inside of this ten-foot-round sphere, everything seemed to be separated by a layer of vague crystal, but the flames The heat still passed through the sphere without any hindrance, burning the people inside.
"Please speak softly, Your Majesty." The woman in maid's clothes walking in front said as quietly as a mosquito: "We are not out of danger yet, many spells can easily detect us" But before she finished speaking, she The noble woman next to her spoke again: "Don't call me Your Majesty!" She lowered her voice and turned her head to look at the falling temple in the distance in the darkness: "How can we get out?"
"They will try their best to distract the defenders' attention and create opportunities for us." The maid did not look back: "If everything goes well, we will soon be able to leave the range of this space lock."
The other party¡¯s answer was wrong, which made the noble woman frown.
If it goes well? So what if things don¡¯t go well? This spell called the Invisible Sphere is not an indestructible force. On the contrary, it is quite fragile. It cannot block anything. The slightest interference factor will cause the spell to fail as long as it touches the caster. The range of this spell cannot be changed. Any entry All living creatures within this range will be affected and disappear. But if the people among them attack others, they will disrupt the operation of the spell and be repelled by the energy!
What¡¯s more, there are more than ten mages in this town? No matter which one, I'm afraid there is no shortage of means to combat invisibility.
He lowered his head and glanced at the swaddle in his arms. Her left hand couldn't help but quietly slid down and pressed on her waist. The hardness of the metal made her fingertips tremble. She knew that it was a dagger, something that the maid in front of her the spy who sneaked into here in disguise had just given her. Although it is only about half a foot in length, the steel mixed with fine gold is heavy and sharp, and it also contains the magic of sharpness. Even thick knight armor can be pierced like cowhide.
If it were used to kill people, it would be very handy, right? Even for a woman like herself who has never practiced martial arts
If necessary, kill this child
When it cannot be preserved, it will be destroyed. At least it can be guaranteed not to be used by the enemy It is undeniable that this is always a simple but effective method. Regardless of whether the person these so-called 'Emperor's' minions are preparing to sacrifice is the real Millennium Emperor Iskandar, or just an evil demon or evil god who pretends to be named by this name, as long as they get ahead and destroy what he needs, then it will definitely be It will cause a blow to the opponent.
Regardless of what will happen if you get to that point, can you really do it?
??This brings forth within her body flesh of her flesh and blood of her blood. How could he be killed so easily?
"Your Majesty, let's get out of here"
The maid's voice woke her up. She shook her head and noticed that there was nothing in the alley in front of her. In the darkness in the distance, hazy shadows outline the deep outline of the city wall. That should be their stage destination. As long as you cross that wall, you can use the scroll of teleportation spells to escape instantly.
However. Backfired.
When they walked along the street to the end, the temple in the distance had completely collapsed in the smoke of collapse. But what was even more troublesome was that a group of royal guards turned around from another street corner and almost collided with them head-on! ! If the maid hadn't suddenly pulled her back to the safe area, her escape would have ended there.
But the road ahead is still unpredictable.
A touch of light blue luster suddenly flashed among the swaddling clothes, almost surprising both of them! But after nervously looking around, they didn't find any enemies paying attention to them
"I can't feel any magic fluctuations on his body. Your Majesty." The maid looked back at the baby and said softly: "However, I am not a mage after all, so maybe he has magic that I can't detect "
"let's go."
"Your Majesty, listen to what I have to say!"
"I told you that I am not your Majesty!"
"Yes, Your Excellency Maria." The cold and sharp voice made the maid-looking spy silent for a moment. Although at this time, such a voice was obviously a stupid move that could easily attract the enemy, even though he knew that the person in front of him was very stupid. She's just a weak lady.??But the look on that face still instantly made this excellent spy flinch.
The noble lady¡¯s slender body stood straight, and her eyes that were staring at the spy reflected the flashing firelight around her, as if she was on fire herself.
"If you are really scared, then run away first! Leave me alone!"
The silence continued like this, and the surrounding space was quiet, with only the crackling sound of the flames It wasn't until a few breaths later that the noble lady slowly spoke.
Although she never thought she had any wisdom, Maria Antonia Zolgen Geoffrey was not one of those boring women who only talked about palace secrets, handsome knights or clothing and jewelry. She knew very well that she was What kind of situation they are facing, and they know the only way to deal with it - the flash of light emitting from the child at this moment, the only thing that can prove is that they have been discovered by the enemy, and they can only get rid of each other by staying away from him immediately.
However, she was unwilling to do that. Before she knew it, an idea had taken root, grown, and become solid in her heart - her whole life had been like this, drifting like tumbleweeds in the wilderness, no matter where it was. The family that raised her, the nominal husband or the king who covets her beauty are completely unreliable. She is completely tired of betrayal and abandonment, so this child, this her in this world The only person with a tight connection in the world, she would never betray him, let alone use his young life. to ensure your own stability.
"Madam, you know I will never leave you."
"Then let's go"
?Looking at the woman¡¯s indifferent face. The frown between the eyebrows was clear and determined, which made the secret agent disguised as a maid frown deeply - although she did not speak. But she seemed to have understood the other party's determination.
For her, this is obviously something that cannot be tolerated. So although she walked obediently and turned around an alley, under the lace cuffs of the maid's uniform, her slender and nimble fingers had quietly pulled out several long needles with green luster.
Killing these two people immediately is undoubtedly the best strategy, but it is also a cautious choice strictly ordered by her employer. So it would be best if we could leave safely, but if necessary, we can only do it by surprise
The secret agent shook her head slightly, suppressing the thoughts in her heart. She narrowed her eyes and scanned every inch of the surrounding environment. Listening to the distant noises of the knights fighting the defenders, although the calming sounds mean the complete defeat of the attackers, their sacrifices are not without value The defenders are gradually closing in, Focus all your attention in the bright direction.
After passing through a group of low thatched cottages, you will find the town wall.
There is a tall archery tower in this direction, and under the archery tower is the open ground set aside as usual - although the main function of the archery tower is to resist foreign aggression, the ten-foot-high city wall of this small town is not very strong, so in a certain It is necessary to leave open spaces where soldiers gather in some places, and in ordinary thinking this is the most dangerous place. The firelight on the arrow tower illuminated the small square brightly.
But in fact, this is a good place for a breakthrough The darkest place is always under the light, and in this chaotic situation, there will definitely not be any mages stationed on the arrow tower. Ordinary soldiers who cannot see through magic are unwary. If someone sneaks under the wall, most people will not even notice it.
Just walk along here for a few hundred feet. You can reach the breach - there is a switchback with thinner walls. The stone bricks have been deliberately dug loose, relying on the ox's brute force scroll in his hand. You can dig a hole big enough for people to pass through in a few breaths, and then just take a few steps and use any door scroll to leave this damn place.
???????????? But it¡¯s not easy.
The sound of heavy footsteps sounded from behind the wooden house, from far to near, and two heavily armed heavy infantry dragged their shields into the square, without any intention of letting down their guard, and just stayed there Their observation angle The secret agent's brows tightened a little more.
Invisibility ball is a very practical spell, but after all, it is an illusion with only three rings. Its low-level energy is doomed to its shortcomings - the air will fluctuate slightly when it moves, although it cannot be identified without paying attention. , but if you are careful, you can often tell the clues - just like now, if you want to pass through the empty and well-lit space, you will be easily detected by the guards at close range.
But if you turn back, I'm afraid the magic will not last long enough, and the magic fluctuations caused by casting the spell again will be easier to detect.
The secret agent turned his gaze and looked at the lady, then gritted his teeth.
Staring at the faces of the two soldiersIn response, the two people began to slowly turn around the corner, with the lightest footsteps The distance was really too close. Just relying on the effect of an invisible magic ball, it was extremely difficult not to alert the enemy. The only way was to move slowly. The movement of the enemy will make it difficult for the enemy to detect the distortion of the air and hear the rustling of footsteps on the ground. The ten-foot range of the spell has undoubtedly become a huge burden at this time, as long as there is a certain part of it. If it brushes against the guard's body, no, the looming appearance of the flying insect will arouse the other party's vigilance, causing all previous efforts to be wasted.
One steptwo steps
The distance slowly got closer and then further away, so close that you could almost clearly see the blood stains on the armors of the two warriors.
Fortunately, the two infantrymen had no intention of moving Their full-body armor plus spears and shields weighed more than fifty pounds, and they could not rely on horse power like the knights. From guarding to encirclement and suppression, half the night's busy work was already exhausted. With all their physical strength, if the armor were not lined with steel bars that could support their bodies, they might not be able to stand for a long time at this moment. Therefore, even if the subtle ripples of the invisible sphere slowly passed through their sight, no one would be able to notice it. s difference.
The shadow of the wall is close at hand. However, the two women only felt that their knees were weak. They looked at each other and let out a long breath that they had been holding for a long time.
However. There was no time for them to wipe the sweat from their foreheads when a voice sounded.
"Hey, are you leaving like this? This secret agent, um. Miss? And our respected Majesty?"
This is a nice voice, a low, magnetic man's voice, with some overflowing enthusiasm, like a handsome young man inviting a lady to dance with him, but in the ears of the two women, this voice seems to be a magic spell , making their footsteps stop like falling into an ice cave. It almost feels like my body and blood have been frozen!
¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk, really, it¡¯s not a good habit to cover your eyes and pretend you¡¯re not seen.¡±
The small square was as quiet as water for a while but it seemed that just two breaths were a lot, which still made the speaker a little irritated, so with a soft sneer, a phosphorescent light cut through the air, allowing the magic to form The transparent ripples suddenly became distorted. Then it burst like a bubble and turned into tiny spots of light!
Maria sighed, turned around slowly, and faced the middle-aged man who had been standing in the middle of the open space for some time.
"Okay, Your Majesty. The little game is over."
Sarachi looked a little embarrassed at the moment. His neat short robe was full of dust, and his hair, which was usually meticulously combed, was half-shaved. There is also a damaged gash under each shoulder and side, although it is very shallow. But after all, it was still scratched by a sharp blade. But the sword master's smile was as usual, even brighter: "For your safety. Please go back with me Ah, by the way, I'm sorry that I destroyed your residence, but there are many mages here. , I think they can repair it quickly and won¡¯t keep you waiting for a long time.¡±
"Aren't you going to put me in a dungeon? To prevent anyone from coming to take me away again?" The lady was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled.
"How could it be? I believe that after this time, there should be no such gangsters who can endanger your safety again." The sword master chuckled. However, he immediately swung his sword, and a harsh creaking friction buried the end of his sentence - a translucent sword light struck out of thin air, stopping a figure in mid-air, and then crashed into the house on the corner of the street with a bang. !
But a succession of rapid footsteps had already sent several figures of different heights to the end of the street. They crossed the corner and stood in front of the two women. They raised their weapons together to form a sparse line of defense. ! ,
"Are you still going to struggle? You are so stubborn. Originally, as long as you surrendered, I could have spared your lives. Now, you are seeking your own death!"
The sword master sneered disdainfully and cast his gaze on the figure he had just knocked away - the old knight gasped violently, barely supporting his body from the damaged wall, and bright red blood flowed from his nose and lips. Slide down and dye your gray beard a shocking red.
"Are you telling the truth?" Maria suddenly asked, "Is it okay to surrender?"
"Madam?" The secret agent was stunned for a moment, then was shocked: "Don't listen to him" But her voice was immediately interrupted by the woman: "At least this child can live for a while, I have no choice."
"No, ma'am!"
The secret agent was anxious: "I think you should understand This is no longer a question of you and me, or whether this child will survive, but an existential crisis for the entire empire, or even the entire continent! Do you know if that monster is really resurrected? , what a danger it will bring to this world?? He will definitely try to recreate the original appearance of the empire. In that level of war, hundreds of thousands, or even who knows how many, people will die! "
But looking at the embarrassed face of this old knight, Maria shook her head
The old knight's words were sincere and correct. However, for some reason, she suddenly felt a certain emotion and felt that the other person's words were meaningless to her No, it should be said that at this moment, the determination in her heart had already Suddenly it rose into a flame.
A flame of resentment!
"Hundreds of thousands of people will die? So what?" She sneered:
"Even if they are really dead, will it be the fault of a child who has not yet learned to speak? Will it be the fault of a mother who loves her children? The existence that caused all this should not be the damn Usurper Empire The imperial elector of the throne? Shouldn't it be the undead soul of that damn imperial emperor? Even, shouldn't it be the one who stupidly allowed that Tiberius Gracchus to obtain such strength and power without curbing it? Our Emperor Bellino XVII? Does all this have anything to do with me and my children? "
The words that were as cold as ice made the killer dressed as a maid silent again.
It is your stupidity, your greed, and your cowardice that have caused all this When that king greedily coveted power that did not belong to him, where were you nobles who claim to be righteous? When the Imperial Elector was frantically plundering power that did not belong to him, where were you knights who claim to be righteous? And now, when all the situations have become out of control under your connivance, why don't everyone challenge the source of evil, but let themselves, a defenseless woman, and their ignorant children, To bear such unwarranted responsibility at such a huge cost of life?
It¡¯s simply ridiculous! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
