Chapter 67: Strike first (5K+)
At midnight, Luomo drank a bottle of invisibility potion and sneakily rushed to the Woluo River outside the city.
Job found someone to investigate and found out that since Harrington came to Volo City, he has been living in a bamboo forest by the Volo River because of his magical properties of being close to nature.
There, Nora's family built a pavilion specifically for him, half of which hovered over the river, so that Harrington could jump into the water at any time and have close contact with nature.
After Luo Mo learned the news, he immediately decided to cut through the mess quickly and strike first.
These nobles are really annoying, and there is no way Luo Mo will let them ruin tomorrow's ceremony.
After a while, we came to the river. In the bamboo forest in the distance, a pavilion was built next to the river, looming beside the bamboo forest.
Luo Mo knocked on a bottle of water walking potion and quietly touched it from the river.
What surprised him was that he didn't find any guards along the way.
A dignified first-level mage, doesn’t he even have basic precautionary measures?
Luo Mo was quite confused.
When he was about to approach the pavilion, he finally saw two figures appearing in the pavilion. And some vague sounds.
"Mrs. Nora, let me kiss you here." A lewd male voice sounded.
"Mr. Harrington, please be gentle. Ah, huh. Are you really sure you can defeat that hateful Saldin tomorrow?" A middle-aged woman's voice sounded in a panic.
"Of course, Mrs. Nora, you are really white here."
"What if that Viscount Alex intervenes to protect Saldin?" "
Then I will challenge him to a duel of honor! According to inheritance and law, others cannot interfere. "
The woman's voice was full of surprise: "Mr. Harrington, are you really willing to challenge Saldin to a duel of honor for my son?" "
Not for your son, but for you. It depends on how far you can go for this. Yes." The man's voice became more and more eager.
"If you really launch a life-and-death duel against Saldin, I am willing to dedicate everything to you. Mr. Harrington, please hold me tight." After hearing
this, Lomo finally knew why there were no guards nearby. It turns out that Baron Nora’s mother did not hesitate to go to this extent in order to take revenge.
Although Mrs. Nora sounded like she was enjoying herself, she could still feel the love of a mother for her son.
In this case, we have no choice but to reunite your mother and son.
While the two of them were having fun, forgetting both things and me. Luo Mo rushed from the river to the pavilion, grabbed the railing, and jumped up.
'Dark Night Falls'
In an instant, the pavilion suddenly fell into absolute darkness. The rich darkness blocked out the moonlight and starlight.
Mrs. Nora suddenly let out a scream and said: "What's going on? Why is it completely dark?"
Romo stood in the corner of the pavilion, in the barrier he created, and he could see clearly in his eyes.
I saw Mrs. Nora naked, huddled in a corner of the pavilion with a look of panic.
Although the man next to him was also naked, he showed no panic on his face. He just clasped his hands together and silently recited a spell.
The next moment, several wisps of mist appeared around him, and his body deformed at an extremely fast speed. He lay down and turned into a big turtle.
On the back of the big turtle is a rare iron-red carapace with several very regular stripes painted on it.
There is also a flame-shaped tumor staring at the turtle's head, which looks extremely weird.
After transforming into a turtle, Harrington had a trace of confusion in his eyes.
Originally, he had excellent eyesight and could see flying mosquitoes ten meters away. But in the absolutely dark environment, I couldn't see anything at all, and I couldn't even tell the direction.
In addition to the flame turtle, he can also transform into a multi-eyed bear in the north and create illusions through light. But in this environment, the multi-eyed bear is even less effective.
Dark Night Falls is the signature skill of the first-level Shadow Mage Knight. In the barrier created by this skill, several of Harrington's core skills were completely restricted.
This is why Harrington is very afraid of the Shadow Knight.
He was very angry at the moment. He was really afraid that something might happen, and a first-level shadow magic knight appeared out of nowhere, obviously aiming at him.
Now we can only rely on the sound of water around us to determine the general direction.
In this environment, his only option now is to escape and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
Luo Mo observed silently. He saw that the flame turtle was confused for a moment, then quickly found its direction, rolled and crawled, and fled into the river at an extremely fast speed.
He made a prompt decision, silently recited a spell, and six arcane missiles flew out from his side, all tilting towards the flame turtle.
According to the intelligence, the Flame Turtle is not afraid of ice elemental magic, so Romo directly used arcane magic to stop it.
After a few "rumblings", Harrington couldn't see anything in the darkness and couldn't dodge, so he directly took a few arcane missiles.
Even though the tortoise shell was strong, Harrington also felt a heartbreaking pain.
He was horrified, how could this man know all kinds of magic?
The trajectory of the arcane missile was twisted and curved. Harrington could not confirm the direction of the attacker, so he had to turn around and spray out flames to carry out an indiscriminate attack.
Only a scream of "Ah" was heard, but Mrs. Nora was hit by the flames and fell to the ground, rolling there heartbreakingly.
Harrington was so anxious that he couldn't care less at the moment and turned around to continue his escape.
But in this moment of hesitation, Luo Mo had already circled in front of him.
With a cry of "canglang", the Qingshuang Sword in his left hand and the Soul-Splitting Sword in his right hand came out and slashed towards Harrington.
Harrington felt someone coming from ahead, so he bit the bullet, and his turtle head spurted out flames again.
'Frost blast! 'Lomo immediately fought back.
The next moment, two forces, one ice and one fire, collided in the air, immediately creating a turbulent airflow that spread flames and frost everywhere.
Mrs. Nora was hit by two forces at the same time, and immediately let out another shrill scream.
At the same time, the Soul-Splitting Sword also struck the turtle's shell.
Shadow Touch unfolded and began to continuously absorb Harrington's physical strength.
Harrington only felt that his physical strength was constantly passing away, but he was now in a stalemate with Luo Mo and could not move for a while.
Seeing the appearance of the Frost Blast move, he finally understood that it was Saltin who came in person. He never expected that this young man could control magic so skillfully, and for a moment he regretted accepting Mrs. Nora's invitation to return to Volo City.
Luo Mo was also secretly awestruck. This old turtle is indeed not on the same level as his previous opponents.
The frost impact I exerted with all my strength was unable to shake him at all. Even if I used shadow touch to absorb stamina, it still felt a bit difficult.
However, although it is strenuous, it is still a process of ebb and flow. Luo Mo was not worried.
After a stalemate for a while, Harrington's flame attack was still unable to break through, and he finally became anxious.
With a 'snap', Harrington's body shape changed again, and Harrington turned into a two-meter-tall fiery red bear, slapping heavily in the direction of Lomo.
Luo Mo saw that this giant bear had four eyes on its face and a pair of eyes on its chest. It actually had six eyes.
However, these eyes are just decorations at the moment and do not play any role in this absolutely dark barrier.
Facing the giant bear's sharp claws, Luo Mo turned his body to one side and stepped aside quietly.
With a "boom", the giant bear suddenly jumped into the air, its sharp claws dug deeply into the pillars of the pavilion, causing the ceiling of the pavilion to crack, and the masonry and purlins above fell one after another.
"Ah" screamed, and Mrs. Nora was hit again by a purlin in the chest. Blood spurted from her mouth and she fainted.
I saw the grizzly bear's claws stuck in the pillar and couldn't pull them out in my haste. Luo Mo recited a spell, his forehead flashed slightly, and several arcane missiles flew out, flying towards Harrington again.
There was an explosion, and all six missiles hit the giant bear's eyes.
The giant bear let out a wailing cry and transformed into a turtle again. His eyes had been blown out and he was moving his four legs crazily on the ground, trying to jump out of the pavilion and escape.
Luo Mo rubbed his body and placed the Soul-Splitting Sword in the turtle's shell again.
In desperation, Harrington once again used the fire technique, attacking all around wildly and indiscriminately.
Lomo immediately cast the Water Curtain Technique, but this time the Water Curtain Technique was not cast on Harrington, but on himself.
Suddenly, a water ball with no blind spots covered his surroundings, and the pavilion fell into a sea of fire, but Luo Mo was protected by the water curtain and remained safe.
After a while, Harrington finally ran out of energy and tried his best to escape from the dark barrier set up by Lomo.
As the last flame spurted out, the Flame Turtle lay motionless on the ground, and the pavilion was burned to ashes.
Mrs. Nora had already fallen in the corner after multiple blows, and she could no longer die.
She was originally naked, and her body was twisted like a twist before she died, completely losing her aristocratic dignity.
Luo Mo walked to the flame turtle and raised the sword in his hand high.
The Flame Turtle returned to Harrington's appearance. Blood and pus flowed from his eyes, and he begged: "We didn't have any hatred at first. Now I apologize. Can you spare my life?" "What do you think?
" ?" Luo Mo smiled and stabbed down with the long sword in his hand.
The next moment, Harrington's heart was gouged out by Lomo, and he suddenly died.
After killing Harrington, Lomo breathed a sigh of relief. I thought to myself, this Harrington is quite difficult to deal with. If it weren't for the fall of darkness and some arcane magic guidance, and only relying on water element magic, he really wouldn't be his opponent.
Fortunately, I have a trump card.
Looking at the burning pavilions around him, Luo Mo jumped off the pavilion and headed towards the city.
In an instant, the darkness dissipated and the moonlight washed away, as if nothing had happened.
Early the next morning, the Knights Grand Campus in the city hall.
Viscount Alex will personally bring the emblem of the Volo City Knights Reserve Battalion to several knights, including Romo, today.
Luo Mo came to the school grounds as agreed. There were already many nobles and knights coming to watch the ceremony.
Among them, Baron Lando was gathering with relatives of Baron Nora's family. When they saw Lomo's arrival, they all looked at him with undisguised hatred.
Baron Lando stepped forward and asked Romo: "I ask you one last time, where did you take my nephew?"
Romo stared at him coldly and said calmly: "Baron Lando , I want to remind you, never speak to me in this tone."
Baron Lando was a little frightened by his stare, and he couldn't help but feel a chill. Immediately, he calmed down, spat a mouthful of phlegm on the ground, and sneered: "You can't be so impressive for long."
After saying that, he turned around and returned to the crowd of nobles from the Nola family. The more he thought about it, the more Luo Mo felt like it. His eyes were a little penetrating, and he shuddered involuntarily.
He glanced at the crowd and asked with some confusion: "Why haven't Lord Harrington and Mrs. Nora come yet?"
Everyone was also very confused at the moment. They had agreed that on the day when Lomo took office today, Harrington would present to the crowd. Lomo challenged him to tell the truth about Baron Nora's murder, and then have the city hall hold him accountable. If Viscount Alex comes forward to defend, it will be Harrington who issues an honorary challenge to Romo.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Harrington still didn't come. Even Mrs. Nora was nowhere to be seen.
Baron Lando was angry. It was clear that these two people were today's protagonists, but they hadn't come yet at this time. They had no sense of time. He said to his servant: "Go quickly and look for Mr. Harrington and Mrs. Nora."
The servant nodded slightly and immediately walked outside the school grounds. Other nobles also sent their servants to look for him.
Luo Mo paid no attention to these people. He stood on the school field for a while and suddenly saw two familiar figures walking over.
It was actually two partners, Ian and Pei Bona.
Pei Bona looked as beautiful as ever. She had seen Luo Mo's figure a long time ago. When she saw Luo Mo's eyes turning around, she gave him a generous wink.
Another partner, Ian, as the old captain of the reserve camp, greeted Luomo happily.
"Lord Saltin! No, you should be called Captain Saltin!" Ian stepped forward, patted Romo's shoulder like an old friend and said, "Your potion is really powerful. You know How many jackals have I killed these days?"
Luo Mo saw the excitement on Ian's face and smiled: "It seems that Captain Ian must have gained a lot these days." "
That's right! That's quite a lot. Two gnoll gangs, forty-eight gnolls!" Ian stretched out his hands to gesture, with an excited look on his face and said: "I have hung all the gnoll heads in my manor, you can invite them if you have time. Captain Saldin goes and enjoys it."
"I'll definitely have time!" Lomo smiled and said,
"Captain Saldin, you're fine." Pei Bona stood in front of Lomo, tilted her head, and showed a cute smile, He stretched out his hand and said: "Captain of the Ninth Squadron, Pei Bona Weiwen."
Luo Mo was a little surprised when he heard this. It seems that she is also a newly developed rookie in recent years, and was recruited by Viscount Alex.
He stretched out his hand, shook it with hers and said, "I am the captain of the seventh team." "
We can be considered comrades in arms from now on." Pei Bona said with a playful smile.
Ian stood aside and saw the two people shaking hands for a long time. He joked: "If you keep shaking each other, your hands will stick together. Speaking of which, I am the captain of the third team. I am an old captain. Pei Bona, what are you doing?" Won’t you shake my hand?”
At this time, Baron Lando in the distance watched the three people chatting and laughing, and suddenly felt angry. He stepped forward and said to Pei Bona: "Pei Bona, as your father's friend, I want to remind you that when interacting with people, You have to be discerning. This Romo Saldin regards the laws of the kingdom as nothing and has killed many nobles. You should be more careful." When
Pei Bona saw Baron Lando openly criticizing Romo, she was suddenly confused. After thinking for a moment, he leaned a little closer to Romo and smiled at Baron Lando: "Why did Baron Lando say this? This Lord Sardin is an outstanding alchemist and a first-level magic knight. Baron Lando had better be more careful with his words."
Baron Lando saw Pei Bona's intimate behavior towards Romo and sneered: "What an outstanding alchemist, a first-level magic knight. After a while, he will be just a dead body. That's all."
As soon as he finished saying this, he saw his servant's face had a strange look on his face, and he hurried towards him from outside the school grounds.
Baron Lando suddenly felt something was wrong. He quickly left Pei Bona and Romo, pulled his servants in front of Baron Nora's relatives, and asked softly: "What's going on? Where are Harrington and Mrs. Nora?"
The other nobles were already waiting very anxiously at this moment, staring straight at the servant, waiting for his answer.
The servant looked downcast and said with some surprise: "Sir, we found Lord Harrington and Mrs. Nora by the Volo River." "Are they coming
this way?"
"They are .They are all dead! Mrs. Nora was burned to death, and Lord Harrington was stabbed in the heart. And they were not wearing clothes." The slave said almost with a cry.
When several nobles heard this, they stared at each other, looking at each other, and they didn't come back to their senses for a while.
What's happening here? What about taking revenge on Romo Saldin today as promised? Why did they themselves die first? Could it be Saldin?
Regardless of whether the news was true or not, for a while, these nobles had no intention of staying here anymore, and they walked outside the school grounds in unison.
After taking two steps, Luo Mo suddenly walked in front of several people and blocked their way.
"Sardin, what do you want to do?" Baron Lando looked at Romo, who looked unkind, and suddenly felt a strong uneasiness.
I saw Luo Mo saying coldly: "You have offended me repeatedly today. Do you really think that I, Saldin, am a fool and have no temper? As far as I know, you people have framed me in the city hall many times." Killed Baron Nora. Since we are all here today, let’s settle all the grudges together.”
With that, Romo drew out the Blue Frost Sword and said coldly: “You five lords, listen, I, Romo Sal, Ding wants to engage in an honorary duel with you! No choice but to die!" As soon as
these words came out, everyone was shocked. On the school grounds, the surrounding knights and nobles were chatting noisily, but upon hearing these words, they immediately became quiet.
People far away in the school grounds were also talking loudly, but when they saw the sudden silence here, they also looked over for a moment.
Baron Lando and the relatives of Nola's family looked at Romo, who was holding a sword and looking solemn. For a moment, their faces became very ugly.
