Chapter 43: The Return of the Deputy City Lord.
This wooden sign solidifies Anna's energy-shaping witchcraft and can convey simple messages.
Seeing the flickering wooden sign, Yihua knew that Anna and the others had finished packing and were urging him to join together.
At the same time, there were bursts of noise outside, and it seemed that a large group of people were approaching the city lord's mansion.
Things changed later. Yihua had already known that the deputy city lord of Youer City was an earth knight.
Although he is not in the city now, he may rush back to intercept everyone at any time after receiving the news that the city lord's palace was attacked.
Yihua knows very well that time is life, no matter how good the treasure is, it must be enjoyed with life.
He picked up the Wu Jing in the bag, swept several small boxes into his pockets, and then ran towards the agreed upon location.
——Go
back in time a little, to the edge of Fangorn Forest.
"Get away!"
A middle-aged knight shouted to the young knight not far away.
At this time, before the young knight could react, a huge second-class ferocious beast, the Hell Bull, packed with unparalleled power, crashed towards the young knight like a meteor.
At the critical moment, a white-haired old knight wearing golden armor, two meters tall and muscular, rushed out.
He stretched out his powerful hands, and at a speed completely inconsistent with his age, he instantly grabbed the hell bull's horns.
boom!
The hell bull pushed the old knight forward.
The giant-like figure of the old knight in golden armor did not deform at all, but with the impact, his feet drew a ravine that stretched for more than ten meters from the ground.
In the end, the power of the hell bull's collision was exhausted. Before it could break free, the old knight punched the hell bull on the head.
Click!
With just one punch, the hell bull's head cracked open, and red and white blood mixed with brains flowed out.
The body of the giant hell bull seemed to have had its soul removed, and it collapsed on the ground lifeless.
More than ten meters away, the only remaining hell bull on the field saw this and quickly broke away from the battle, trying to escape back to Fangorn Forest.
"Where to escape!"
The muscular old knight in golden armor snorted coldly, took a step forward, and swung the giant sword in his hand towards the hell bull.
As the giant sword was swung, a nearly two-meter-long golden crescent moon condensed and formed, and instantly appeared in front of the Hell Bull across a distance of more than ten meters.
Without stopping at all, the golden crescent moon passed directly through the Hell Bull's head. The originally running Hell Bull suddenly lost its sparkle in its eyes and ran a few meters along its inertia before falling to its knees.
After a few seconds, blood spurted out from the neck of the hell bull kneeling on the ground, and the bull's head slipped to the ground.
A series of operations took place in just an instant. The young knight who reacted realized that he had walked around the gate of hell, collapsed to the ground, and gasped for air.
At the end of the battle, dozens of knights and several great knights around saw the old knight's bravery and cheered loudly.
Before everyone could celebrate for a long time, a guard riding a horse in the distance ran towards everyone, with a panicked look on his face, and said from a distance: "
My lord, deputy city lord, the city lord's mansion has been attacked! Please return to the city quickly!"
-
" Are you really going to stop us from leaving?"
Not long after leaving Yoel City, Yihua walked out of the carriage loaded with thousands of scrolls and said coldly.
He looked past the dozens of official knights around him and stared at the old knight in golden armor standing at the front, whose body exuded majestic life energy that was inconsistent with his age.
"Report to the deputy city lord, the guards found the headless body of Master Joseph from the living room of the city lord's palace!" The old
knight in golden armor, who is the deputy city lord of You'er City, looked cold and persuaded Yihua and others to surrender:
" You dare to kill the city lord, the only son of the third-class wizard, why don't you just surrender and wait for the city lord to punish you!"
After saying that, the old knight in golden armor in front of him stepped forward and pulled out the sword from his waist. If Hua and others refused, they would forcibly arrest a few people.
However, Yihua was not as panicked as the other party expected. Yihua had anticipated this situation before.
He greeted Anna behind him:
"Anna, where are your credentials? Show them."
Anna handed Yihua a silver token engraved with the pattern of a homing pigeon. After taking it, Yihua threw it to Yoel City. Deputy City Lord.
"You should recognize this token, right?"
"This is--"
The old knight in golden armor took the token and felt the power fluctuation contained in it, with a look of shock that could not be concealed on his face.
As an Earth Knight, his face was gloomy and uncertain, and a hint of fear flashed deep in his pupils.
Seeing that the old knight was a little unsure, Yihua immediately struck while the iron was hot and added:
"Yes, this is the symbol of Lord Rudolf Astarte, the fifth-level tutor of the Nine Rings White Tower Academy, the 'Messenger'. We are here to serve as the fifth-level tutor." With the order, come to Youle City to purchase sheepskin scrolls."
Similar to the noble crest, every fifth-level instructor in the academy has a corresponding wizard crest.
But unlike the former, wizard heraldry has a mystical function and can be used as a medium to communicate with the wizard corresponding to the symbol.
Anna, who has already been promoted to the second level and has third-level qualifications, is a favored disciple of the fifth-level mentor Messenger Rudolf, so she naturally has a token engraved with heraldry given by her mentor.
On the one hand, it can play a role in connecting with the tutor.
On the other hand, when traveling in the mortal countries of the Star Tree Islands, it can also be used as a means of transportation to various places.
After all, the coats of arms and names of the seven fifth-level wizards are known to almost everyone among the senior officials of the mortal kingdom on the Star Tree Islands.
Yihua's mentor, Simon "The Death Crow" naturally also had the corresponding mark, but he only gave it to Rey, not to the low-qualified Yihua.
"Then why did you kill Joseph?"
The deputy city lord softened his attitude slightly and asked Yihua with a gloomy expression.
The moment he saw the fifth-level mentor's token, he had already believed it. After all, the power contained in it could not be forged.
Yi Hua, on the other hand, came up with a quick wit and compiled the half-truths and half-false words one by one:
"In order not to attract attention, we did not reveal our identities beforehand. I didn't expect that Joseph would dare to deceive us with a moldy and invalid scroll."
He said . After finishing his sentence, Yihua paused for a moment and continued:
"We went back to find Joseph and wanted him to compensate for our losses, but Joseph refused to admit it and even dared to belittle and insult Teacher Rudolf! We were helpless now Take action."
Now that Joseph is dead and the guards present have been silenced, Yihua can answer in a direction that is beneficial to him.
Moreover, if Joseph issued an order to deceive them, there would naturally be people who would carry out the order.
If it goes as expected by Yihua, the deputy city lord should be able to understand that what Yihua said is true after a little investigation, and that Joseph indeed issued such an order.
Complete lies cannot withstand scrutiny, only half-truths and half-false words are more deceptive.
After listening to Yihua's explanation, the deputy city lord was silent for a long time and began to make rapid calculations.
