Chapter 129 Antecedents: Celia’s attack and backhand
…
Flower Manor is on the edge of the ice lake.
At the other end of the ice lake, the knight commander of the Frostwind Territory stood on the branches of a giant tree, looking across the ice lake from a distance.
He saw a thick fog billowing in the distance.
The Knight Commander understood that this was one of the tactics used by the strongest killers in the Night Crow Society.
The rise of thick fog also means that the other party has begun to take action.
He spent the past two days running desperately between several counties in the province.
At the very beginning, the strongest killer of the Night Crow Guild, 'Farmer', refused to be entrusted. A wizard returned from the mainland and was able to kill the apprentice of the injured scout knight of the Thieves Guild. He had the background to speed up the resolution of the Noble Council.
With this kind of complexity, the farmer is not a fool. He can achieve the first place only by relying on his brain. Even if he has never failed in a task, he is still picky. The assassination of a mysterious baron is obviously not acceptable.
The knight commander had no choice but to find a few old men behind the Night Crow Society.
These old men set up a stronghold in the countryside of another county, preaching for their so-called Night Crow ancestors and providing for their old age.
The knight commander persuaded them to go out together and participate in the assassination.
Viscount Frostwind was also a decisive person. He gave him a lot of authority to negotiate compensation. The value of the bottom-line compensation was enough to allow many killer organizations to kill three big knights.
But a few old men are very shrewd. Although Viscount Frostwind is indeed unable to leave the territory for some reason, how can they not even deal with people like Viscount Frostwind who have completed elite promotions in this generation? They are already old. I was fooled into moving.
"How about more money?"
"No, although our Night Crow Guild is not the same as the Thieves Guild, we also know how the great scout knight who just died in the Thieves Guild wanted money rather than his life. I told you before. , sooner or later, that guy will be seduced by money and take his life..."
In the end...
"The old men are too old to go. If they go, they will be old bones, which will only drag you down. The Night Crow Club is the strongest killer now.' The farmer is much stronger than you think. Let me write a letter to convince him for you. You will also bring us a cursed weapon unearthed from a tomb in the Panxue Mountains. This cursed weapon can finally put him in a desperate situation. Under the circumstances, he will die together with his opponent."
"It shouldn't be necessary. You don't understand the power of 'Farmer'. He is the undisputed number one in the Night Crow Association. As long as he takes over the task, he has never failed. What's more, we also gave a guaranteed plan."
After paying a large sum of money for this guaranteed plan, the Knight Commander took the old men's souvenirs and weapons and came to the Night Crow Club. The strongest killer - 'Farmer'.
This strongest killer has always liked to act independently. He doesn't like his teammates and thinks that they are an obstacle to the mission. Every assassination mission he performs is perfect, showing that one person is greater than the team.
The Knight Commander did not forget the first instruction given to him by Viscount Frostwind, which was to at least remove the Frostwind Territory from the recent assassination.
"Fortunately, in addition to the relatives of the Fenglang family outside the county, there is also the mother of the boy named Idam, 'Mrs. Camilla', who died that day." Mrs. Camilla
was the former wife of the Baron of Snowwind Territory on the edge of Frostwind Territory. Lover, the top executive of the Pansen County Thieves Guild, is considered the financial steward, and is also the direct sponsor of the Thieves Guild's funding for the Night Crow Society.
Although the Night Crow Guild is affiliated with the Pansen County Thieves Guild, they have their own belief in the 'Night Crow Ancestral Spirit'. They can also obtain financial resources from the commissions from assassin missions. They have their own independence and are not the death of the Thieves Guild. scholar.
After Mrs. Camilla heard that her only son Idam had died, she immediately made inquiries.
After she finally confirmed that her son was killed by Ricardo...she was stunned for a long time...and went crazy.
As a high-ranking member of the Thieves Guild, Lady Camilla was also an excellent thief when she was young. She was good at mixing poisons and her knight level also reached the level of a senior knight.
She immediately decided to take revenge personally. She was once grateful to the ace assassin who was ranked second in the Night Crow Association and had assassinated the Grand Knight. This time, with the kindness and huge money, she also invited him to accompany her to the Ice Lake Territory.
In addition, the Knight Commander assigned him the strongest combat capability of the Wind Wolf family's relatives outside the county, an experienced senior knight.
This senior knight, as a member of the Wind Wolf family, had several dealings with the Night Crow Society on behalf of the Knight Commander, replacing all previous clues about the Frostwind Territory's hiring of the Night Crow Society with the revenge of the Wind Wolf family.
Three experienced senior knights gathered together, and the most streamlined and efficient three-person team was formed.
The Ice Lake Territory lacks senior knights, and the only senior knight is the old butler Angel in the castle.
With the cooperation of the three of them, as long as they find a suitable opportunity, it is highly probable that they can kill a great knight more easily than the Ace Killer did back then.
The three of them investigated the terrain inside and outside Fanhua Manor in advance and laid out an escape route map. A copy of the map was also printed and given to the knight commander.
However, one night passed...
Flower Manor didn't make any waves.
The next day, Ricardo still lived normally in the flowery manor.
After finding out this news.
The Knight Commander understood that Lady Camilla's revenge had failed. This senior member of the Pansen County Thieves Guild, along with the Night Crow Guild's second-ranked killer, and the Wind Wolf family's strongest combat force outside the county, were all captured. Under Ricardo.
He immediately communicated with the killer 'Farmer' and handed the printed map to him.
The 'Farmer' has finished investigating all the information Ricardo revealed in the two territories.
He cared little for Lady Camilla's failure.
He likes to act alone, and he has never failed in his personal actions in the past. Seeing Camilla's failure and death is like taking over the mess caused by the failure of the previous assassin of the Night Crow Society in his past mission.
He is already very experienced.
Before setting off, under the Knight Commander's emphasis, he still wore the cursed magic weapon given to him by the old men, as well as a token with the emblem of the Wind Wolf family.
Although it is impossible for him to use the cursed weapon in the assassination mission, if one day he really doesn't want to live anymore, then he can use this weapon to find an unlucky person to kill himself.
...
A large amount of thick fog mixed with flour exploded.
The arrows from the three enchanted crossbows were shot in a straight line between Theresa and Ricardo.
Ricardo was already on guard.
He wanted to go up and protect Teresa, but he didn't want his own people to be put at risk.
But the sudden scene in front of him made him feel a sense of crisis.
Damn it!
Ricardo felt that the crossbow in the opponent's hand was an enchanted weapon.
At such a close distance...
the clone!
In front of Ricardo and Teresa, a clone of the Evil Flower Spirit Doll with the same face as Ricardo stood in front of them.
Illusory vines!
A large number of illusory vines suddenly appeared on Ricardo's limbs and behind, and continued to block the clone's back.
At the same time, relying on the reverse direction of this force, Ricardo's body moved directly to the side.
"Theresa!"
As Ricardo turned to one side, he had already grabbed Theresa's hand and pulled her in the direction he wanted to go.
However.
Even if Ricardo was very fast, such an action could not keep up with the three enchanted arrows.
Bang bang!
The first arrow hit the clone's chest directly and exploded!
'No! Teresa
saw the clone with the same face as Ricardo suddenly blocked in front of her, and her chest was blown open. Her eyes were split open, and she didn't even realize who was holding her hand.
The second enchanted arrow followed and shot into the clone's exploded chest.
Ricardo's unfurling mass of illusory vines began to block the wall and kept growing.
Following this trend, the enchanted arrow directly hit the illusory vine after passing through the last layer that exploded the chest.
The illusory vines were suddenly blown open, but the second arrow was deflected and landed directly on a trailer in front of it.
The trailer exploded and burst into flames.
The third arrow followed closely.
This arrow had the time reserved for the first two arrows, and was not blocked by clones and illusory vines in its path.
The arrow formed an arc and flew directly out of the gap in the chest, then bypassed the illusory vines and shot towards Teresa!
At this time, Ricardo had already dodged aside.
But Theresa did not have Ricardo's vigilance, structure and awareness, and was still where she was at this time.
"I'm an idiot!"
At this moment, a girl yelled near the two of them.
A purple leaf tied to a pendant around Theresa's neck floated up from her chest.
Then a large amount of white light suddenly appeared on the purple leaves.
A small shield was formed to block the front where the enchanted arrow was about to arrive.
boom!
The shield has not yet been completely formed, but the part that has formed successfully allows arrows to hit it!
The third arrow was also successfully blocked!
All three enchanted arrows were destroyed and did not hit either Theresa or Ricardo.
"Looking for death!"
Ricardo watched Theresa in danger, and if Celia hadn't taken action, Theresa might have died.
Boundless anger suddenly emerged in his heart.
From the corner of his eye, he had already locked onto the killer farmer who was swooping up.
The evil flowers of the two worlds merge and awaken!
In an instant, his whole body was covered in black vine armor, and even his body was wrapped.
At this moment, his temporary physical attributes exceeded 45 points, and his temporary mental attributes exceeded 63 points.
Micro domain purifying force field!
Mental shock!
Ricardo deployed the force field. He had no time to use magic, so he first used the roughest mental shock on the opponent.
Although rough, he now has the incomplete Yaksi Seal provided by the Demon Hunter's Breathing Technique. The impact in this emergency state is also close to the effect of ordinary stun spells.
Reconstruct the clone!
Ricardo's clone of the Evil Flower Spirit Puppet just now had been destroyed. He immediately consumed his special life energy and summoned another one five or six meters in front of him on the left.
Teleport!
Ricardo disappeared directly from the spot.
He teleports to a newly constructed dungeon in the basement of an abandoned church in the modern world of London.
He drew the frost sword directly in the dungeon, and he kept wearing the wolf bone necklace and grass rope ring.
Then, packets of potions, poisons, quicklime powder, etc. were already hung on the illusory vines.
This set can be completed instantly in the wizarding world, and Ricardo can catch the opponent off guard by teleporting it.
Then Ricardo sensed the situation of the clone.
Teleported back to the wizarding world!
'Farmer' at this time.
Although the bow and arrow were originally fired, they locked onto Theresa and Ricardo at the same time.
But his real core goal is Ricardo!
When a man with the same appearance and different attire as Ricardo appeared in front of Teresa, he was a little confused, but his intuition told him that it was a fake.
It's really the one next to it.
When he saw the enchanted arrow explode the fake Ricardo's chest, he did not feel that the assassination was successful and continued to attack the real Ricardo.
But just when he was about to reach Ricardo with the dagger, the other person suddenly disappeared!
Then before disappearing, an existence with a face similar to that of Ricardo reappeared two or three meters away to his right and behind him.
What kind of movement or magic is this?
A fake Ricardo has been killed, or some mysterious wizard's trick effect.
When the farmer saw this scene, he certainly thought that Ricardo was relying on something to move behind him.
The enemy is an apprentice who has returned from the Wizarding Continent, and can kill the great scout knight of the Thieves Guild.
Of course there will be some weird methods!
The farmer had already prepared himself for many unexpected surprises.
The new Ricardo appears on the back right, wearing different clothes than the one that was destroyed before.
The original form of the clone is only half of the knight's armor. This half of the knight's armor comes from half of the knight card. Ricardo can reconstruct the clone and repair the armor at the same time.
But the remaining half is the mass-produced enchanted vine armor purchased from Leaky Cauldron Alley.
This cannot be reconstructed. At this time, the vine armor on the clone's chest has disappeared.
The reconstructed clone is somewhat different from Ricardo and the previous clone.
The farmer cannot judge the excess now. He can only think that the newly appeared clone is Ricardo's true body.
The steps under his feet moved strangely.
Originally, he was going to pull out an arc slash at Ricardo's position, directly and violently break through the possible protection in front of Ricardo, and kill the opponent.
At this time, he relied on the arc slash that he was going to charge up, and turned around with the dagger in a strange way, and then kicked the ground again, heading towards the new clone.
A lot of thick fog spread around.
His figure looked even more eerie in the thick fog.
After he took two steps.
Suddenly, I felt another figure appear behind me.
Ricardo has traveled back from modern times and reappeared in the same position as before.
At this time, Ricardo was wearing black armor, a wolf bone necklace around his neck, a grass rope ring on his hand, and a frost sword in his hand. A large number of illusory vines stretched out on his limbs and behind his back.
Just like the monster devil in myths and legends.
Release the clone!
The clone that the farmer was about to attack disappeared from the spot.
Summon the wolf!
Ricardo directly summoned two huge skeleton wolves with carrion hanging on their bodies from the front!
