Chapter 43 Prey and Hunter
"Baron Betsy Nora. His grandfather was a survivor of the Battle of Autumn and one of the Twelve Knights who returned from that battle." Elliot
introduced the situation to Romo in a deep voice . : "After returning, his grandfather became the captain of the knights. Since then, his family has become the nobility of Volo City. Becky was promoted to an apprentice knight four years ago and was called an ice knight. He relied on In the family's operations, he became the deputy finance minister of the city hall. Mainly engaged in the ore business."
"Trainee Law Knight" Lomo thought, and asked: "Are there any other powerful people in his family?"
Ai Liote thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "His grandfather died young due to injury. His father was once promoted to a trainee knight. Later, he failed to condense the magic seeds and injured his body. He lived for many years and died a year ago. The family The rest of them eat, drink, indulge in wine and sex, and make no achievements."
"Just a trainee magic knight of the elemental water magic system." Romo nodded, thinking that he seemed to have really impressed the people of the Volo Valley.
Elliot saw that Romo was not paying attention, and immediately emphasized: "It has been four years since he was promoted to trainee, and because of his wealth, there are endless auxiliary means such as potions and inscriptions. I once saw him kill a man with my own eyes. Super Mage!"
"When did it happen?" Luo Mo asked.
Elliot thought about it and said, "Two years ago, maybe. An old mage in the city hall once wanted to expose his magic hair products trading license to the royal family, but he plotted against him in the wild. The report letter was also destroyed by him. I and Joshua were by the old mage's side."
"Is this why you are so afraid of him?" Lomo asked.
Elliot nodded slowly, with a guilty look on his face and said: "Becky accurately obtained our route to the royal city and made a sudden attack on the way. Someone from above must have provided him with the information. The old mage is dead It was so miserable that Joshua and I gave in to him. He forced Joshua to stay with him all night, and tied me to the bed and forced me to watch. This incident completely broke my will."
" Tell me about the battle." Luo Mo said immediately.
A strange expression appeared on Elliot's face.
Luo Mo was stunned and quickly emphasized: "I'm talking about the battle with the old mage." "
Yes." Elliot narrowed his eyes, the muscles on his face were trembling, and even his hands were shaking slightly, as if he was Back to the scene of the sneak attack.
He spoke slowly. Almost every move and style of Becky was told.
At the end of the story, he said in a trembling tone: "Mr. Eddie was scratched all over his face with ice thorns. He cut off the meat on his thighs piece by piece. He cut each piece very slowly. Very slowly. , Becky used magic to freeze the wound until the bloody leg bones were exposed. While cutting, Becky laughed wildly at Mr. Eddie and said: 'I asked you to report it, I asked you to report it. Do you still dare to report it? Your leg How can we go to the royal city if we don't have any meat? Try to stand up, okay?'"
Elliot imitated Becky's tone, his expression was painful, and he was almost on the verge of collapse.
"Elliot!" Romo shook Elliot's shoulder violently, trying to wake him up from his memories.
Elliot looked at Lomo with dull eyes and said, "Mr. Eddie was also one of the survivors of the Battle of Qiutang. He did not die in the hands of the evil orcs, but he died in the hands of the descendants of his comrades." Lomo
said Gave Elliot a glass of wine to calm him down.
He thought carefully about the details of the battle that Elliot said. This was a typical battle involving elemental water magic. The moves of his Qingshuang Great Sword are very similar.
Thinking that his father was also a member of the Knights of Volo City, could the two have the same origin?
He saw that Elliot's mood had stabilized after drinking a glass of wine, and continued to ask: "How much do you know about the Witte House?"
Elliot thought about it for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know much about the Witte House." We don’t know much about the Zhijia. They have shops in Volo City and Black Rock City, and they mainly deal in the alchemy business related to demonized beasts. Their boss, Wit, is a migrant who came to the river valley more than ten years ago. He is already a first-level magic knight. The accumulation of more than ten years of magic cultivation is absolutely extraordinary. I heard that he is a guest of Marquis Arnold of Black Rock City, and the two have business dealings." Luo Mo heard this and suddenly became curious
. He said: "Do people who are promoted to first-level magicians generally announce their cultivation level to the outside world?" "
Of course." Elliot said: "This is a powerful deterrent. It is a reflection of one's own strength. With this With your strength, there will be countless people who want to discuss cooperation with you, and others will not dare to take your chances easily." "
I understand." Luo Mo nodded. It seems that being promoted to a first-level magician is a bit like winning an exam in ancient times. There will be a huge change in identity.
From this point of view, does he have to show his identity to avoid being noticed by all kinds of gossips?
"Then how did Baron Nora and the House of Witte get together? Did they have any friendship before?" Lomo asked again.
Elliot thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "We probably don't have much friendship. Maybe the House of Witte took the initiative to find Baron Nora. Mainly because they wanted to deal with you through me." "Understood." Luo Mo finally made a general outline
. Knowing everything about the matter, he mused: "In other words, the Wit family is still causing trouble. They have roped in Baron Nora to become his ally, and both parties want to work together to swallow up my alchemy business." "Then let
's What should we do?" Elliot murmured: "Is it really a dead end? The other party is really strong." "It is
indeed very strong." Romo nodded slightly and said: "Baron Nora just paid it back, it's just this power. The boss of Te's House is a bit tricky. Fortunately, his subordinates have been involved from the beginning to the end. I guess a small business like mine is not worthy of his attention." When
Elliot heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
He has just introduced Baron Nora's combat power in detail. But in front of him, Luo Mo's comment on this was actually 'just pay it off'?
He looked at Romo, pursed his lips and said: "Lord Saldin, Baron Nora is a senior trainee magic knight, and a murderous demon. If you take him lightly, I'm afraid you will die. ."
Luo Mo smiled slightly, casually picked up the Qingshuang sword and swung it forward.
The next moment, the Qingshuang sword lit up, and the surrounding temperature dropped sharply.
Wherever the sword pointed, a thick layer of ice suddenly formed on the floor.
His ice swordsmanship has now reached the third level, and the thickness of the ice layer is no longer the same as when he killed the forest wolf.
Elliot shuddered, and involuntarily took a few steps back. He said in a trembling voice, "This is Baron Nora's move!" "
How does my move compare with his?" Lomo smiled. asked.
Elliot looked at Lomo in disbelief. He turned around and lay on the ground, stroking the ice on the ground over and over again, trying to confirm whether it was real magic or just a bluffing trick.
After feeling the bone-chilling coldness, Elliot raised his head with excitement and tears in his eyes.
"You are better than him. Much better! My Joshua can be saved!" Elliot choked.
"Okay, wipe away your tears." Luo Mo looked at Elliot looking at him with admiration, his eyes filled with tears, as if he wanted to rush up and hug him, and said with some embarrassment: "Keep staring at me. It’s a bit rude to see.”
Elliot wiped his tears, stood up and said, "Then what should I do next?"
"Do as they say." Lomo said solemnly: "Since they want to fish, then I will give them a fish." Use tricks to find out who is the hunter and who is the prey."
