Chapter 511 One Shot in Person!

( ) The trip of Houdini and the Rahiman mission is not actually an "official visit" in terms of procedure.

In consideration of the royal family's face, Houdini did not tell others with great fanfare that this was "the friendly visit of the Kingdom of Laciman to the city of Elson, the territory of Efta", but asked Merlin Sera to write a letter in advance, Visit under the name of "friend visit". This method is very smooth, taking care of Charles II's self-esteem, and achieving his own goals... But Houdini probably didn't expect that the lord of Elson City is really busy, and most of the information is handed over to Camilla It's here to deal with it, but the letter from Melinsera's visit is in the name of a private person, and it says "Roddy's personal letter". This kind of letter, Camilla will definitely not open it casually as public property.

So until now, no one in Roddy or in the entire city of Elson knew that the mission was approaching. So when Houdini's convoy strayed into the "magic experiment area" from the southwest, neither side realized their situation...

After the first magic guard post was dismantled, Melinthra, who was sitting in the carriage behind, also got up and looked around, but she sat back after thinking about it—after all, the team was still more than 30 years away from Elson City. There is a dense forest in between, and even the shadow of the city wall is invisible. From any angle, there is nothing to worry about. Perhaps it is just like Houdini's judgment... This kind of guard post is only used to scare wild animals.

With this in mind, the team continued to move forward. Unexpectedly, after gradually entering the forest area, the sharp whistle of "magic alarm" began to sound more and more frequently around the convoy.

Houdini doesn't need to deal with this kind of thing himself, the other magicians in the team will naturally do it for him-at first they will use their own means to quickly cut off the sound of the magic sentry, and later they will even directly destroy those standing guards without waiting for the trigger. Enchanted slate next to the road...

Houdini's frown became deeper and deeper, because through the facts he saw in front of him, he had confirmed that the level of the mages who made these magic circles in Elson City was really low-yes, it can only be described as "low", the magicians The lowest magic academy in the Rahiman Kingdom would not take in a mage with such a bad character!

"If Elson is at this level, it's still disappointing..."

At this time, Houdini was obviously a little disappointed. He came here with the mentality of learning and admiration, but at present, it seems that this place is not even comparable to the magicians raised by the royal family. The occasional shrill whistle seems to be mocking some of the vague expectations in his heart—the levitation technique has always been the most difficult problem in Laximan's magic. If this problem is solved by himself, then all the humiliation he has suffered I will be swept away, and those guys who made me suffer so much will be trampled under my feet...

But now it seems that I still think too much.

Houdini, who was somewhat dispirited in his heart, sighed, and then found that the carriage stopped suddenly.

"Lord Houdini,

A village was found ahead. "

A servant came to report, and the news did not surprise Houdini. After all, it is normal for there to be villages outside the city, so he waved his hand and said, "Just go through and don't disturb them."

"But... my lord, something seems wrong here."

"What's the meaning?"

Houdini was still immersed in disappointment, and his words were not very polite: "If you finish the sentence, what else can be wrong with the village? Could it be possible that monsters can jump out and attack us?"

"No, no, my lord, we found... found that this place does not seem to be an ordinary village—"

The mage lowered his head to explain while handing over a wooden sign from outside the carriage. Houdini's eyes froze, he reached out to take it, and found that there was a line of hastily written words on it: "Magic Experiment Area in Elson City".

Below is a row of huge red letters: "Do not approach!".

This thing is obviously a work of rush work. There are still white stubbles that have just been cut on the wooden sign. The ink on it is very clear and even a little damp. Houdini sniffed it closely and could smell the cheap ink. Distinctive odor.

Many doubts appeared in his mind, and he immediately realized that things seemed not as simple as he imagined. Putting down the wooden sign, he got up and walked out of the carriage. After looking forward for a few seconds, he noticed the abnormality here: the village in front of him was so quiet that it was not even half popular!

Merlinsera also got out of the carriage, looked at the village in front of her, and said, "There is a problem with this village. These buildings have just been built, and there are no traces of use."

She has excellent eyesight, so she just glanced at it and pointed to the entrance of the village a few hundred meters away: "There is also a cone-shaped magic circle, if I guess correctly, it is arranged in a way to record the impact force... I think No village would put this at the entrance of the village, right?"

Among the dozen or so people accompanying him, besides ordinary guards, there were five sorcerers. They looked at each other in blank dismay, obviously feeling that something was wrong. So they collectively looked at Houdini, hoping to get the result—the latter didn't talk nonsense, and immediately recited the spell silently, and waved and threw three golden shells. Ni's face darkened immediately.

Because these three shells were all shattered on the spot!

In divination spells, this omen represents the current danger to the caster.

"Damn it..." Houdini did not question the result of the spell. At this time, his decisiveness as a magister was fully revealed: "Everyone go back! Get out of here immediately!"

"Om—"

While talking, everyone heard a slight vibration from a distance. They looked up and found a dense blue rune suddenly appeared on the floating tower floating in the air in the distance...

"This is…"

Houdini focused his gaze, trying to make a judgment from the shape and transformation of those runes, but he had to give up because the distance was too far to recognize. At this time, he didn't have time to cast the "Eagle Eye Technique", so he had to continue to let his subordinates start to evacuate-but Melinsella, who was standing aside, looked up and suddenly pointed out: "There is something there!"

Needless to say, everyone saw a faint arc in the sky, as if something suddenly bounced off the floating tower, and then fell over a distance of tens of kilometers——

"Boom!"

This trace of light surpassed lightning when it approached, and landed directly one kilometer away from the convoy. The dull impact sound could be heard far away, and then a rising black smoke rose.

Neither Houdini nor Melinthra were idiots, nor were those mages. Reminiscent of the signs that said "Magic Experiment Area", and seeing the scene in front of them, they quickly realized why the area they were staying in now To warn "keep away"...

Before he had time to think about it, the sound of the second impact had already been heard—this time, everyone could see a large piece of sand suddenly rising from the open space only 300 meters away from the carriage, and then began to spray black smoke upwards.

"that's all?"

Looking at the falling soil, Houdini relaxed his tense mood a little—this attack range is far enough, but if the power of the so-called "magic experiment" is only this, it is really disappointing.

Don't talk about yourself, even the young mages who are traveling with you can easily deal with it.

Could it be that the black mist is poisonous?

Thinking of this possibility, Houdini released a large-scale "Air Cleansing Barrier" uneasy, but the urgency just now was obviously relaxed a lot.

"What the hell is this guy doing..."

Melinsella didn't know Roddy like other people. She knew that this guy always seemed to be able to make some miracles that ordinary people couldn't understand. So she always thought it was not a good idea to stay here. Just as she was thinking about how to deal with it, the third crash sounded in the center of the village in front of her. As black smoke billowed up, she vaguely saw a figure standing on the floating tower in the distance.

"My lord, the calibration is complete!"

"Oh, then load live ammunition and launch."

Rody didn't expect that someone would break into the test area at this time, and she was not in the mood to observe whether there was anyone near the village. After seeing the "calibration bomb" to confirm the location, he directly recited the activation spell.

In an instant, the sixteen magic circle nodes in Elson City below suddenly lit up with light, and beams of light lit up, and they were accurately projected directly under the floating tower.

Energy gathers, transforms, condenses, and releases.

"Boom!"

The "cannonballs" that popped up were brighter than the previous ones, and created a very gorgeous white ripple in the air-this is the phenomenon of "element retention" in the mouth of magicians, and it is usually only struck by extremely powerful energy bodies. Only when space is created.

"Yuan... element retention?!"

Houdini, who was telling the convoy to turn around and leave, saw this scene, and his mind went blank for a moment. Because in the magister's impression, "element retention" has only appeared in spells of the forbidden level, but now... this thing seems to be flying towards him?

He suddenly realized that Laximan seemed to have enjoyed peace for too long, and he actually underestimated the signs of the spell of "seeking good luck and avoiding evil" because of his mental slack!

"This bastard!"

Merlinsera on the side cursed secretly, but she was already somewhat psychologically prepared to react immediately—she did not cast a protective barrier, but instead made three consecutive "ground trapping techniques" to sink the soil below the convoy. More than rice!

"Yes! Ground trap technique! Quick!"

Houdini was not a combat mage, so his first reaction was to cast a protective barrier, but after seeing Merlinthra's actions, he realized that this was the correct way to deal with it, so he yelled and immediately cast A "enhanced ground trap" - and just as several other mages were casting it, there was a loud noise in the sky in front of the team!

"Wow!"

The flying "No. 53" shell exploded less than a hundred meters from the ground, and countless fragments bombarded the village below at a faster speed...

The shell with a diameter of 20 centimeters directly expanded the killing area to a radius of about 100 meters by splitting the fragments. And this inconspicuous fragment actually condensed the energy of at least thirty standardized magic crystals in Elson City, so when they released energy in a chain explosion, the village directly suffered a devastating blow.

The sound of the explosion was one piece, and the whole ground seemed to be shaking violently with the explosion. The shock wave, wooden fragments in the village, soil, stones, and surrounding trees that were blown up swept over the convoy along with the heat wave, almost Buried them in the blink of an eye...

When ten minutes later, a group of mages crawled out of the soil like mud monkeys, there were no other thoughts in their minds.

"Live, ahem, it's good to be alive..."

A mage coughed with tears in his eyes, because when he climbed out of the depression caused by the "subsidence technique", he found that the village that was just before him had turned into a scorched flat land! Mobile users please visit
