Volume 2 [Dark Tide] Chapter 512 The Little Country Lord
There were less than 20 people in this convoy, so Melinsera and Houdini's "ground trap" protected everyone in time - but many guards were still injured, after all, being hit by trees and sand and stones was terrible. It was not an easy task, even if they had outstanding strength, at least three of them were almost buried directly, and all the horses were shaken to death, none of them survived.
"Ahem..."
Compared with these guards, the fellow mages obviously recovered faster. Protected by the "cleaning technique" and the magic props they carried with them, they returned to their usual clean and tidy appearance within a few minutes, but the way these guys look towards Elson City is obviously completely different from the previous laziness. Everyone has a nervous vigilance.
Not to mention Houdini, since he became a magister, he hasn't been in such a mess for many years. He majored in "prophecy" and rarely participated in direct battles. Even if he wanted to fight, he could always rely on spells Avoid the worst by avoiding the worst.
But after using the "cleaning technique" to remove the dirt on the robe, Houdini had to lament that he was really "watching the sky" before. The apprentices lamented the power of spells, but he marveled at the opponent's range even more—what is the concept of a strike distance of more than 30 kilometers? If it is a troop carrying siege equipment, it will take at least half a day to complete this section of the road!
In other words, if there is an army that wants to attack Elson City right now, they will have to face this kind of bombing when they are half a day away from the city wall...
Houdini thought about what would happen if Rahiman's army came to attack, but after thinking about it, he broke out in a cold sweat unconsciously.
There is no solution at all!
After all, wars are fought by ordinary soldiers, and no matter how powerful Mage Rahiman is, he cannot fill every squadron with high-level mages. And with the power of the bombing just now, mages below the magister level will come and die as many times as they come...
What kind of magical technology does this city master?
While thinking,
The smoke rising into the sky made Houdini stunned. Looking back, he realized that it was Merlinsera who was continuously releasing the purple "smoke technique"-apparently in order to avoid being accidentally injured again, Merlinsera was using this method to avoid being accidentally injured again. Way to remind the city of Elson in the distance
This was the case with the "Sink Art" before, and it is also the case with the "Smoke Art" today. From the beginning to the end, Melinthra's response was the most appropriate and quickest. Against this background, it seems that Mage Laximan has never fought a battle at all. , each of them was extremely sharp in the competition, but they were clumsy in actual combat.
With these few blows, the sense of superiority he gained from the Karen royal family has disappeared.
And Melinsera, who was constantly casting spells, raised her head slightly, looked at the floating tower in the distance and pouted——
"You also said you are welcome to come anytime, but it turns out that you are so 'welcome'..."
Some sad expressions rarely appeared on Melinsera's face, but with the sound of noisy footsteps in the distance, she quickly returned to her usual cold appearance. When he turned his head, twenty or so people had already appeared in the surrounding jungle. They all wore uniform robes, there were mages and apprentices, and there were also ordinary people without magic power.
Looking carefully, Melinsera could notice that the other party's chest was embroidered with a unified magic tower symbol.
"Please...excuse me, where are you from? What are you doing here?"
The mage who came first had an expression as if he had seen a ghost. The razed village was in front of him, and it seemed unusual for this group of people to stand here completely.
"Ah, I'm really sorry..."
If this happened in the territory of the royal family of Karen, Houdini would probably go into a rage and question him directly. But at this moment, he was uncharacteristically, and first bowed and apologized for "causing trouble by mistakenly entering the test area", and then revealed the identity of the team.
"La--Rasiman Mission?!"
The mage who spoke stood there with a dazed expression as if struck by lightning. The apprentices who followed around looked at each other, with a sentence clearly written in their eyes:
Damn it!
*****
"Who told me this area was cleared!?"
On the floating tower, Rody cursed at Lime with a distorted expression. The sudden outburst made Lime tremble all over, almost sitting on the ground.
There is no other reason, the signal that Merlinsera cast with the purple "smoke technique" was exactly the outline of her "Shadow Dragon Crystal" from a distance, so Rody immediately realized what he had just done!
It doesn't matter what the envoys of Laximan are, they are all insignificant passers-by, but Merlinsera and himself are absolutely dead-end friends, that is the person who can really give their backs to the battlefield... But it is such a comrade-in-arms, He actually bombarded her with Elson City's "big killer weapon"?
Roddy regretted and wished he could tear down the floating tower!
The dragon crystal represented by the smoke is of extraordinary significance, and Rody always wears it on his body, so when he saw the marks made of smoke, Rody really felt like "fried hair"!
However, this emotional out-of-control performance only lasted for more than ten seconds. Rody knew that it was useless to talk nonsense here, so he took a deep breath and jumped directly from the floating tower!
"City Lord! City Lord!"
Lime wailed. He was not afraid that Rody would fall to his death, but because he was not proficient in the "levitation technique" at all... Obviously without Rody's help, he might be stuck here for a while...
Looking at the ground more than 400 meters away, Lime covered his face in tears.
Rody, who returned to the city of Elson, did not rush out of the city. At this moment, he had already roughly analyzed the situation of Merlinsera - being able to send a signal meant that she was fine at present. After finding Camilla and seeing Melinsella's "Visiting Book", Rody finally understood why she appeared here.
"You mean... just now you bombed the Rahiman mission?"
Camilla was so frightened by the facts she deduced that she covered her mouth. This action made her, who has always been shrewd and capable, look a little cute, but then she realized that it was her fault, and her face turned red instantly: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault , this letter..."
"This has nothing to do with you. It's their own fault that Rahiman didn't use official channels to inform me. Don't blame yourself." Unlike the way he was in a daze on the floating tower just now, Rody now looks like a superior Gesture, "Deal with this matter right now - I want to see the feedback from the recording team as soon as possible, whether it is cavalry or scouts, go to meet these people immediately, and ensure that the injured are treated as soon as possible..."
Unlike in the past when he had to figure out everything by himself, now Roddy has begun to directly delineate the results, and the specific implementation process is directly handed over to Camila and her team—this is the same as the expansion of the enterprise Well, if Roddy had to do everything by himself now, he would have been exhausted already.
Dedicated personnel means efficient. Half an hour later, Rody received information feedback from the recording team of the Academy of Magic. Two hours later, Rody walked to the city gate, preparing to meet the team that was almost wiped out because of him...
The Laciman mission was successfully received by a cavalry team with a large number of prepared horses, because Akasha was with her, and all the wounded had been healed under her treatment at this moment-this powerful magic skill obviously also made Houdini and others People were shocked, but what made them look at each other more frequently was... the never-serious Merlinsera was chatting and laughing with Akasha all the way. The two beauties rode side by side together, forming a beautiful scene of their own.
Akasha and Melinsera hadn't communicated much in the glacier plain, but the friendship with adversity is there, and now that Melinsera has clarified her "human" identity, she is naturally willing to open up to trusted friends Heart—Of course, she also has some little-known calculations in her heart...
Luo Di didn't know what Melinsera was thinking. He was standing on the road extending from the outer city gate, and he was relieved after seeing Melinsella from a distance. Afterwards, he didn't bother to do any etiquette, so he stepped forward to meet this person. team.
Because of the sudden decision, not many people in Elson City knew that Rody was coming to greet the visitors in person, so there were only twenty or thirty onlookers around the city gate at this time, and they, like Houdini in front of the team, After seeing Luo Di's outfit, he was a little dazed...
As the "Cabinet Prime Minister" and "Elson City Lord", Luo Di should have a "luxury dress" that shows his status. But let’s not talk about “luxury” in fact. In order to increase income and reduce expenditure, Roddy has not even asked for any special treatment for meals. His clothes are all kinds of simple methods for magic practice, except for the dragon scale leather armor he wears in battle. Robe——At this moment, Akasha customized this one for him, because it was the only more formal style among all Rody's clothes, so it was temporarily used as a dress...
To put it bluntly, Elson's current value has not yet been shown to others in the form of money, so when Houdini first visited the city, it and its lord acted in a slightly "shabby" manner. The image appeared in the eyes of everyone.
"Is he reluctant to spend money to make a suit?"
Seeing Roddy looking at her from a distance, Merlinsera turned her head and asked Akasha—she was really curious. Back then, Solomon's inheritance was not cheap. Duchies are out of the question.
But now why is he acting like he owes foreign debts?
Houdini and a group of Laciman mages also looked at each other in blank dismay. Compared with Charles II who attended in costumes at the time, Roddy in front of the city gate at this time was simply a "little country lord". , I'm afraid they don't dare to confirm that Rody is the city lord.
"He...doesn't see anyone every day, either studying spells or practicing archery, or shutting himself in the study." Of course, Akasha understood that Merlinsera's question was for Houdini and others, but Her answer largely dominated these people's first impressions of Elson, so the little pastor continued after careful consideration: "I don't understand how the finances are allocated, but Roddy doesn't seem to give What kind of private property do I keep, his clothes are custom-made with my own money."
Melinsera blinked, then smiled and shook her head. Houdini interpreted this action as helplessness towards old friends—but how could he know that Melinsella was actually more curious than them...
Is there really a human being who sits on a golden mountain and doesn't enjoy it?
What on earth was Roddy thinking?
