Chapter 546 Thunder Arrow
How... could it be a half-beast?
Azier was a little surprised. These marginal people in Azure Castle should not be allowed into Saint Blaney Palace.
Did she sneak in by herself?
Impossible. He immediately rejected this idea. Half-beasts have very low talents. Even if they are stronger than ordinary people, their upper limit is far lower than that of normal magic holders. Those legendary thieves who came and went without a trace in history must have started as humans. It is undoubtedly a fantasy for a half-beast to avoid the detection of the stationed magician.
"Master Carmen, this person..."
"Be careful, she is an illusionist, you'd better not get too close." Although the old magician's voice was calm and confident, the content of his words still surprised Azier.
Half-beasts... have mastered the ability to use magic?
Is this also the work of the Church of the Sun God?
Being able to confront a high-level magician has already proved the opponent's strength. The reason why Master Carmen didn't take action now was simply to wait until the magic lock drained out of the half-beast's body. By then, no matter how incredible the origin of this half-beast was, it would be at the mercy of others.
Azier looked at her coldly - in the dim moonlight, most of her figure was shrouded by the shadow of the house, and her face seemed to be covered with a veil. Except for the striking long ears on the top of her head, her most distinctive feature should be the pair of light golden pupils.
It's really a beautiful color, like a gem inlaid with gold sand... He couldn't help thinking in his heart that if such eyes were dug out and soaked in preservatives, it would surely be a good collection.
Of course, such a rare half-beast might not be bad if it was made into a specimen as a whole.
"Master Carmen, let my men go up and try." Azier said in a ferocious tone, "Since she has offended me, it is my duty to deal with this matter. Even if I can't deal with her, it will be more convenient for you to catch her if I can consume more of her magic power."
The old wizard nodded slightly to express his agreement.
Just as Azier was about to give the order, he suddenly heard a strange sound.
The sound was not loud, and if the room was not quiet enough, he might not have heard it. If I had to describe it, it was like the rustling sound of wind blowing through sedge, but the former was much more dense and compact, and it didn't sound like the sound that existed in nature.
"Hiss... get down..."
Is someone talking?
The moment Azier noticed the sound, the half-beast had bent down and lay on the ground.
Before he could react to what was going on, a loud bang suddenly exploded outside the house, and the fierce bombardment made the entire main building tremble!
The blue waves rippled on the wall, flickering, like a candle swaying in the wind. But this strange phenomenon only lasted for a short while, and the waves dissipated and disappeared.
The old wizard's expression changed drastically!
"What was the sound just now--" Before Azier finished asking, he saw Master Carmen quickly chanting a spell and taking out a silver spell scroll at the same time.
In an instant, a transparent barrier stretched out from the floor of the hall, blocking everyone behind.
"Everyone get out! Get out of here!" the wizard shouted.
What interrupted his words was another explosion.
This explosion occurred directly inside the house, and the violent airflow instantly broke through the doors and windows of each room. The barrier was smashed like glass, and a ball of fiery red flames spread out, knocking all the people at the door to the ground in almost the blink of an eye.
Azier was also overturned by the airflow, and the familiar taste of rust overflowed from his mouth. He only felt his ears buzzing, and everything in his vision was shaking left and right. The old wizard lay on his back in the middle of the hall, his life or death unknown, and the gate passage behind him looked like it had been gnawed by dozens of mad dogs, and even the walls became bumpy. The guards who had blocked the door before suffered even more, and their armor was full of holes, and it was hard to tell whether it was steel or paper.
He also saw that a striking large hole appeared on the wall of the room, and there was another area illuminated by the silver moonlight.
Azier finally realized why Master Carmen was so shocked.
The blue light just now was not an anomaly, but the reaction of the villa's puzzle lock when it was attacked! Its disappearance just means that the puzzle lock is invalid, which is also the reason why the old wizard personally built a force field barrier.
However, the result was not satisfactory. The barrier was far less powerful than the puzzle lock, so the second attack not only shattered the barrier directly, but also affected the personnel on standby at the back.
If he had not walked into the room and happened to stand on the side two or three bodies away from the wizard, he would probably be in danger.
Azier's back was covered with cold sweat instantly. Although his five senses were still not restored to normal after the impact of the explosion, his mind was extremely clear-the thief's accomplices were brazenly attacking the Saint Blaney Palace, and the means used were some kind of long-range strike weapon!
Wait, these people would not drag the large-caliber naval guns to the vicinity of the villa!
In his impression, only the artillery on the warship had such an amazing momentum.
Suddenly, Azier saw the half-beast stumbling up, as if trying to jump out of the hole in the outer wall.
If she escapes, it will be difficult to catch her again!
He slowly stretched out his hand and pointed the emerald ring on his index finger at the thief.
This is a magic ring worth a thousand gold coins, which contains a disintegration spell. Even if he is a magicless person, as long as he spends enough money, he can drive a powerful spell power!
Azier aimed at the opponent's leg.
If possible, he would rather catch a live person and learn from her the mastermind behind the scenes.
He pressed the buckle behind the ring——
The gem shattered instantly, and a beam of emerald green light shot straight at the half-beast woman with her back to the room.
But a huge black wing suddenly swept over, wrapping the woman in it, and also blocked the dissociation ray!
It cannot be said that the dissociation spell did not work. It burned a half-arm-wide hole on the wing, but compared with the entire outline of the black wing, this injury was far from fatal.
Aqie widened his eyes in disbelief. He could never have expected that a noble dragonborn would be involved with a half-beast and even take the initiative to shield the half-beast from harm.
The resistance of adult dragons to magic is far greater than that of other species. Aqie knew that it was impossible for him to keep the other party.
The black dragon roared, grabbed the half-beast and flew into the air, turning around and flying towards the deep night.
The guards in the villa also responded immediately.
Soon, two more dragonborns changed their shapes, flapped their wings and flew into the air from the courtyard, trying to stop the uninvited guests who were fleeing the villa.
But what greeted them were "sharp arrows" wrapped in lightning!
