Chapter 78 Transaction
Duke Allen, who had removed his armor, was lazily riding a horse. When he inspected the streets, it felt like a lion marching lewdly on the prairie, flanked by groups of submissive zebras and wildebeests. . It's like a king walking around in his own territory.
After Fang Lin squinted his eyes and saw Duke Allen, who was obviously seriously injured and had yet to recover, the first thought that came to his mind was:
"This man was born to fight!"
Duke Allen smiled amidst the cheers nearby and raised his hands. When he got closer, Fang Lin realized that after this man smiled, the nasolabial folds on both sides of his nose were intertwined with fine wrinkles, which piled up like an angry sea. . There are three vertical lines between his eyebrows, which are as deep as engraved on the skin. There is also a slightly shallow wrinkle in the middle that goes straight across, looking like a king. Only when he smiles do people have the time and courage to notice that his figure is extremely burly, and his arms are thicker than an ordinary person's waist. If he is sitting, he is almost on the same level as a standing person!
Watching Duke Allen ride away, Fang Lin shook his head slightly. Although Duke Allen seems to have returned to normal, his breathing rate is quite rapid, and there is something strange about the horse under his crotch. It seems to be lifting the hoof heavily, but in fact it is lowering it gently to keep the rider under control. The bumps are as small as possible, and the distance of each step taken by the four hooves is as precise as if measured with a ruler, and the horse's traveling speed is actually maintained at a constant speed, as if it were as precise as a machine!
Under normal circumstances, no matter how well-trained a horse is, it is absolutely impossible to achieve such an effect while moving. Fang Lin used the amplification function of the Fool's Eye to easily detect the presence of the horse. With a faint fluctuation of mental power, Fang Lin could feel that the horse's reins were like a terrifying syringe, continuously sucking out the overdrawn vitality from the inside of the horse. Thus maintaining this "mechanical" state. Of course, after this horse is squeezed in this way, it is inevitable that its life will be shortened sharply.
Although the mental power attached to the reins of this horse is not much, it is extremely complicated. It is like micro-carving on a grain of rice. It may not take much effort, but the skills and craftsmanship required are breathtaking. . The person who used his mental power to do this. He must have reached the level of a master. He worked hard to make this rein. Of course, it was not because he was full and had nothing to do. The purpose was to make the person sitting on the horse sit as stable as possible to prevent him from being hurt. Bumps...
It can be inferred from this that Duke Allen's injury was so severe that he was unable to even ride a horse and walk around this circle. His magicians had to use powerful magic to transform such a horse. Only in this way can we patrol the streets and wave our hands steadily to calm the morale of the troops. Fang Lin thought carefully for a while. At this time, the step G of the continuous task he had received had already given a hint:
Duke Allen's crisis (completed), mission goal: save Duke Allen. Mission success conditions. Escorted Duke Ellen back to Stromgarde successfully.
You can choose to get the reward at this time, or continue the f-step continuous mission in the next world.
Of course, Fang Lin didn't say anything and directly clicked to continue the f-step mission. When he took his mental power out of the horse's reins, he suddenly felt a very strange feeling. It was like dipping your fingers into the thick syrup and then pulling it out, there were many sugar strands attached to the broken lotus roots. As far as you retract your fingers, the sugar will spread!
"Not good." Such a thought flashed in Fang Lindi's heart. His whole body twitched slightly, and his mind seemed to have been hit hard by a sledgehammer. Two dark red streams suddenly flowed from the end of his nose. Amid the dizziness, Fang Lin shrank back like a swimming fish. But two iron rods covered with barbs swept over with the sound of wind, and opened the heads of the two unlucky residents in front of Fang Lin, spraying red and white all over the ground. There were already two Ruo The majestic shield of the black tin can and the giant hammer attack!
Fang Lin did a backflip, and the two iron rods had already hit the air, but it was obvious that something was roaring through the air. After he landed, he propped himself on the ground with one palm, and his eyes were already filled with bright red. Immediately afterwards, my whole body felt extremely hot. A huge pillar of fire suddenly appeared on the ground and engulfed him. The pillar of fire dissipated five seconds later. Of course, Fang Lin was fine except for his face being burnt black, but he didn't take advantage of the situation to counterattack. Instead, he was stunned and said with a wry smile:
"Is it you?"
The person who threw the fire bomb that flew through the air was naturally a magician unique to the world of the Round Table Warriors. Throwing fire bombs was their specialty. However, although there were not many magicians in the Torrent Castle, there were nearly a hundred of them, the one who took action was one of the few magicians Fang Lin knew.
When Fang Lin saw him for the first time, he was wearing blue clothes, the lowest rank among magicians. Even in the battle to rush out of Stromburg to meet Duke Allen, he did not play any role, but that one was crucial. Important fireworks: He was the one who issued the king's summons order. Otherwise, without the dead soldiers and abandoned soldiers that Duke Allen had placed outside in advance, Duke Allen was besieged by a flood of peasant volunteers and three heroes. There is no chance to come to this Dilan Fortress.
As for why Duke Allen handed over the fireworks that concerned his life and death: "The King's Call" to a mere blue-robed wizard, Fang Lin already knew the answer... Because this damned guy who looked young had already changed into a bright red magician robe, which meant that he had already stepped into the threshold of a great magician close to Merlin!
Fang Lin had previously led the rescue of Duke Allen, then killed Lancelot among the three heroes, and then destroyed the siege equipment transported by the rebels from Stromberg. His loyalty was naturally beyond doubt, otherwise he only needed to do nothing in Stromberg that day, and the isolated Duke Allen would naturally die.
The red-robed magician tilted his head and looked at Fang Lin, suddenly grinning, and gestured to him to walk out, after all, the commotion here had attracted the attention of some people. Duke Allen finally insisted on coming to the parade to boost morale. If something went wrong, no one could take the responsibility.
The two came to a secluded house, and the owner was directly carried out by two expressionless black heavy shield hammermen. The explanation was military requisition. If he asked again, the answer would be fists. If he dared to speak again, the answer would be the big hammer stained with blood.
Fang Lin realized at this time that this red magician was still very young, probably between 30 and 40 years old, with skin as smooth as ivory, without a trace of time. He first bent his middle finger and knocked on the table, nodded with a smile, which was similar to the etiquette of shaking hands in the real world, and then reported his name.
"Riley."
"Garibaldi. Riley."
From his name, it can be seen that this red magician has a close relationship with the evil Grand Duke Garibaldi. He smiled and said to Fang Lin:
"I didn't expect your magic power is also strong."
Fang Lin didn't quite understand what he meant for a moment, so he smiled and said:
"What can I do for you?"
This sentence was obviously to test the bottom. Riley's face did not change, and he said gently:
"Your loyalty to the Grand Duke has been proven, so there are some things I don't want to hide from you. Although the morale in the fortress is high now, the heretic named Arthur's ability to seduce is really strong. Almost all the farmers in the entire Wheat Plain have been mobilized by him as a source of troops! Therefore, our current situation is extremely bad."
Fang Lin said calmly:
"Your Excellency only needs to tell me, if the enemy launches that kind of turbulent war again, even without the assistance of siege weapons, how long can the Dilan Fortress last."
Riley, whose expression became serious, raised his index finger, and then shook his middle finger.
Fang Lin frowned and said:
"Two days?"
Riley shook his head:
"Two hours."
The corner of Fang Lin's mouth twitched, and the air in the room seemed to freeze. After a while, Fang Lin said lightly:
"What do you need me to do? You can't hand me over in exchange for the enemy's retreat, right?"
Riley smiled, but his fingers gently passed through the air, leaving a fiery red straight line where they passed, and soon a virtual image of a six-pointed star appeared in the air. It gave people a mysterious and profound feeling.
"This hexagram can ignore the existence of distance and break the barriers of space to perform long-distance transfer. Although Grand Duke Garibaldi has fallen into hibernation, his loyal subordinate Lord Balabas (Balbars is the mechanical boss holding a bronze two-handed hammer in the fifth act) has quickly responded to our request for help... He will send his men to help, but it takes at least six high-level magicians to form a hexagram teleportation array. And there are only five people in the Dilan Fortress who barely meet the requirements."
"So, you need my help." Fang Lin said calmly: "Okay, but you have to meet my two requirements first."
