Chapter 73 Suicide Attack (Please collect)
At some point, the fire thief from Cologne was mixed into the party, and suddenly launched a suicide attack when everyone else's attention was attracted by the speech.
The bodyguard of the banquet organizer, the Holy See Knight, had no time to react and was rushed forward.
As these fire thieves rushed forward, they tore the clothes on their bodies, and the flesh that should have been normal under their skin turned strangely red like fire.
Like...
There is a fire inside the body that is about to burst out.
The next moment.
After approaching the crowd and approaching the target, the fire thieves roared loudly, and their bodies suddenly exploded. Countless flames surged out of their bodies and swept in all directions.
The violent explosion directly tore the bodies of the guests nearby to pieces on the spot, and the burning flesh and blood flew in all directions.
A few meters away.
A fire thief mixed in the crowd looked fanatical and shouted to the sky:
“For God the Father!”
This sentence was like a flame fuse, and a wave of fanaticism suddenly emerged in his body. The breath exploded immediately.
“Be careful!”
Karl retreated violently.
Those who did not dodge in a hurry were directly involved in the explosion. Some died on the spot, while others were blown away by the shock wave and their lives were uncertain.
This kind of power...
Karl’s eyes shrank.
So strong!
Even a knight has almost no chance of surviving if he is at the core of the explosion.
The fate of ordinary people is even more miserable.
Throwing body parts and pieces of meat, and burning flames turned the calm and peaceful venue into a purgatory on earth in an instant.
Chaos!
Chaos!
It’s chaos!
The screams, roars, and screams were mixed together. The pampered and pampered guests had never encountered such a situation before, and they all ran away like headless flies.
"Bold!"
"Seeking death!"
Earl Barrow roared loudly on the high platform. He was also disgraced by the sudden attacker.
However, he is a great knight, and he is always guarded by knights. Seeing that the situation is not going well, he quickly dodges and is not injured, but he is inevitably disturbed.
When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but feel angry.
"Boom!"
The high platform beneath his feet was shaken violently, and Barrow jumped up using the force, like a gray lightning hitting the fire stealer on the field.
“Whoa!”
The long sword at his waist was unsheathed, his fighting spirit roared out, and he killed a fire thief five or six meters away.
The fire thief didn't even have time to blow himself up.
War Qi is just Qi, and it will dissipate naturally after leaving the body. Only a great knight can condense the war Qi into shape, and can still kill people in the air even though they are several meters apart.
At the same time.
After a brief period of confusion, other people in the field also came to their senses and responded one after another.
Princess Duna of the Sark Kingdom had a gloomy look on her face. She was surrounded by guards and retreated. She did not take the initiative to take action. She had a noble status and naturally protected herself first.
Others rush into battle.
"God, bless you!"
A priest held up his staff, tapped it lightly towards the knights of the Holy See, and then looked at the charging fire thief.
“God!”
“Punish you!”
Divine magic - weakened!
The divine radiance spilled out, and the fire thief's body froze, and his forward speed suddenly became very slow.
A kind of extreme exhaustion emerged from my heart.
“Whoa!”
A Holy See knight took the opportunity to rush out, sweeping the sword in his hand and cutting the fire thief in half.
The place where merchants gathered was also attacked by fire thieves. Robert, who was mixed in the crowd, frowned and clenched his fingers lightly, and an invisible force field emerged.
Gravity protection!
This is not a witchcraft he performed, but comes from a magical item.
His hands carry four rings, each of which is a magical item, each of which is blessed with a powerful witchcraft.
The effect of gravity protection is to place a gravity field around the body to prevent other people from approaching.
Even if it explodes, it is difficult to get close.
So although the fire thief's self-destruction caused heavy losses to the businessman, he himself remained intact from beginning to end, and even assisted others in killing the attackers.
This scene happened to fall in Karl's eyes. He couldn't help but secretly gasped and shook his head speechlessly.
Four magical items?
Probably the only one among the intermediate wizard apprentices.
So rich!
“Ah!”
The scream came from not far away.
It’s a band!
Karl’s eyes moved and his body flew close to the ground.
Combat skill - Eagle Strike!
While rushing forward, the rapier hidden in the cane bounced out with a clang, stabbing a fire thief quickly.
"Poof!"
He moved very quickly, and his rapier was even sharper. He stabbed it directly from the back of the target's head to the center of his eyebrows.
Before the opponent blew himself up, he retreated in time.
"Boom!"
The splashing flesh and blood also had considerable lethality. When it fell among the crowd, it inevitably aroused a burst of exclamation. Fortunately, it did not cause too many casualties.
“Is it okay.”
Carl turned around and looked at Jenny:
“Be careful.”
"Karl." Jenny's eyes were red, she was excited and frightened, and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly:
"You...you should also be careful."
"Distinguished Baron." At this time, the stern woman also slowed down her attitude, her eyes were full of fear, and she stammered:
"We are all little girls here, can you... protect us?"< br>
“Don’t worry.” Karl said:
"Their target is not you, and... there are already great knights taking action, so they can't stir up trouble."
Not far away.
Dina held a long sword and shuttled through the crowd, saving people while fighting the oncoming fire thieves. She truly abides by the code of chivalry and does not flinch when encountering danger.
I don’t know when, she has become a knight, and she has also mastered the release of fighting spirit.
Combat skill—Sword Dance!
The inheritance of the great knight level is also the best among many knights in the field, and the sword energy can easily protect one party.
The fire thief is not afraid of life and death, and the power of self-destruction is even more terrifying, but this is the home court of the Holy See after all.
With the action of Earl Barrow and a Grand Knight of the Holy See, the remaining fire thieves were quickly eliminated.
In just a few moments, calm returned to the field.
But...
Many people died!
The fire thieves were obviously well prepared for their suicide attacks, and the first wave of attacks focused on densely populated areas.
There are also some noble nobles.
As for the casualties,
most of them occurred in the first wave.
The banquet venue, which had been peaceful before, was now covered with mutilated bodies and pieces of meat, and the scene was horrific.
“Damn it!”
“Damn fire thief!”
“Cologne!”
Count Barrow is covered in stolen fire He was carrying the blood of the enemy and patrolling the field with his sword in hand, his face full of anger.
How could he not be angry?
Everyone who attended the banquet today has a certain status in Signuo City, and they have suffered heavy casualties.
The deaths of these people will have a certain impact on Signuo City and even on the frontline battlefield.
“How did they get in?”
Turn around, Barrow roared towards the Holy See:
"How do you do things?"
The people of the Holy See have always been aloof, but at this time they could not help but clench their fists and lower their heads, enduring the other party's scolding.
“Check!”
Barro roared:
“Even if we turn Signon City upside down, we still have to find out who else is hiding in the scene. .”
"I need an explanation!"
"Yes!"
"Follow your order!"
The people from the Inspection Hall and the City Guard responded one after another.
The Holy See has also recruited people to cooperate with the investigation, but it is obvious that others are not optimistic about this.
This attack is more like a well-prepared demonstration. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, the remaining people are afraid that they have already fled Signo City, and the search will be difficult to be effective.
There are also a few people who don’t know what they thought of and look worried.
…………
Less than a hundred kilometers away from Signo City, a tall man stood on the hillside with his hands behind his back.
He is tall, but he is extremely small compared to the hillside.
But as long as someone cast their eyes on him, they would subconsciously ignore the hillside at his feet.
This man's aura is like a towering mountain, standing tall and straight, as if he can tear through the sky with just a raise of his hand.
Tucker!
Cologne’s frontline commander, Thunder Spear Tucker.
He was not on the front line of the battlefield between the two countries, but appeared not far from Signo City.
"Didn't show up?"
Looking at Signo City, Tucker said slowly:
"It seems that Antonio has left. There is no archbishop in charge of this city now."
“Yes.”
A man in red lowered his head and said:
"Our attack resulted in the deaths of at least twenty powerful people, and Antonio still did not show up."
"If he were here, some people would not die."
The god of the regional archbishop Although the technique cannot bring people back to life, it can save the lives of seriously injured people.
Slight injuries can be repaired
in a breath.
"How many knights are there in the city?" Tucker said:
"Can you open the city gate?"
"General." The man in red replied:
" There should be five high knights in Signor City, two each in the Noble Council and the Holy See, as well as Count Barrow from the King of Gondor."
"Well..."
"I wonder if Princess Duna of the Sark Kingdom has any great knights. If so, there are six."
Six?
Tucker's expression did not change.
As long as there is no magical blessing from the archbishop, he is not afraid of any great knight!
Even in the face of the joint efforts of several great knights, as the Thunder Spear, he is still very sure of winning the final victory.
"In this attack, we killed many opponents, but we are not yet completely sure of controlling the city gate."
The man in red continued:
"Even if we have his handle, Frank from the Noble Council was still hesitant."
"Huh!"
Tucker snorted:
"Trash!"
I don't know if he is talking about Frank or the person who works for him. The man in red lowered his head subconsciously.
After thinking for a while, he explained:
“This attack severely damaged the powerful people in Signo City, and also verified the fact that Antonio left.”
"But such a big movement will definitely lead to their counterattack. It is difficult for our people to make any big moves in the city recently."
"No need to make excuses." Tucker said expressionlessly
"No matter what means are used, no matter what the price is paid, the city gate must be opened within ten days."
"As long as you let me The army entered Signuo City, and there is no need to pay attention to the others!"
"Yes." The red-haired man said in a muffled voice:
"I will definitely do it. ”
"If you can't do it..." Tucker glanced at him:
"Cut off your own head!" "..." The red-haired man's eyes shrank and his body tensed:
“Yes!”

The store prepared by the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce for Karl is located in the southern area of the Vanilla Market, covering an area of more than fifty square meters.
There is a partition in the middle of the shop. Goods are placed in the front for sale, and potions can be refined in the back.
There are also two folding wooden beds in the corner, which can be used for temporary rest and for people to watch the store at night.
Aya took the rag in hand and wiped the counter over and over again until the glaze light could reflect people's faces.
She was very excited.
Nominally this store belongs to Karl, but in fact she is the real pharmacist and saleswoman.
Even the profit, Karl only gets a very small part.
So she is the owner of the shop.
"There's no need to wipe it so clean." Karl straightened his clothes and couldn't help but said as he went out:
"The Pharmacy Priority Supplier Association will also allocate part to other stores, and there won't be many left."
“I know.”
Aya smiled:
“You should always take good care of your own things.”
"Then you figure it out." Karl shook his head:
"I'll go to the market and sell some things."
"You walk slowly." Aya continued to be busy.
Freeport is close to the Endless Sea, with abundant water vapor and humid climate. It has been rainy in recent days.
Leading to muddy roads.
In addition, this place is not clean to begin with, and all kinds of dirt are mixed together. If you are not careful on the surrounding roads, you may step on something dirty.
Karl lightly covered his mouth and nose and walked along the street.
"Huh?"
An object at the entrance of the alley made him stop for a moment, then walked over and kicked away a piece of bamboo on the ground.
Below is a corpse.
The deceased was thin and thin, with his limbs curled up together, and his clothes had long been stripped clean.
Looking at his age, he should be still underage.
Some scavenging rats and maggots are lying on the corpse, gnawing at the flesh and blood, and will not avoid anyone at all.
You can often see some half-clothed children in Freeport, who make a living by digging through garbage dumps for food.
There are very few people who can be hired.
People die here every day, from diseases, epidemics, killings... Death is all too common.
But the population did not decrease.
For decades, people from nearby areas have been moving in, and the women of Freeport are fertility machines.
They have no contraceptive measures. It is common for a family to have seven or eight children, most of whom will die in infancy and the vast majority will not survive to adulthood.
Even,
There are more dead babies on the streets than the bodies of stray cats and dogs!
“Freeport?”
Karl shook his head slightly.
The life of the people at the bottom cannot be called life at all. At most, it is just living and suffering.
Just like Signor City.
Women workers in textile factories die every month, who cares?
Fortunately, whether in Signo City or Freeport, Karl lived a relatively decent life.
Instead of living.
"Da da..."
The sound of footsteps came from the side, and a group of people were chasing and killing two young people.
This is also the normal situation in Freeport. Without a strong organizational suppression, everything is in a state of disorder.
“What are you looking at?”
One of them noticed Karl’s gaze, his expression changed, and he rushed over with a machete in hand.
Without saying a word, he slashed with his sword.
“Huh?”
Karl frowned, raised his hand to catch the weapon, and threw it away with a slap.
"Pa!"
The person's body rolled over and fell heavily into the mud. Half of his cheeks instantly swelled like a pig's head.
“What are you doing?”
“How dare you do it?”
"..."
The remaining people changed their colors, put aside the person who was being beaten, and gathered around with weapons in hand.
“What are you doing?”
Before Karl could make a move, a person came running over not far away and roared loudly at several people:
“It won’t take long. Eyes!”
"This is the pharmacist hired by our Chamber of Commerce with a lot of money. Who dares to lift a finger?"
"..." Several people changed their colors after hearing this. One of them put away his weapon and scratched his head with a silly smile. :
“It turned out to be one of our own, mistakenly Yes, misunderstanding!”
“What a misunderstanding!” The person slapped him in the face and said angrily:
“Keep your eyes open next time, and you think you guys are very Awesome, Pharmacist Carl is a knight.”
"Master Knight!"
This time, the faces of several people became extremely ugly, and even the looks in their eyes showed a little fear.
Knight!
Even in the Freeport, it is extremely rare.
"Karl the Pharmacist."
The man was fat. After scolding a few people, he looked at Karl and wiped the sweat from his forehead:
"Sorry, I frightened you."
"My name is Yuri. The Chamber of Commerce is responsible for the security of the area. If you have any questions, just ask me.”
The security of the Vanilla Market is jointly managed by three parties. No wonder those few people were so arrogant just now.
Because they are managers belonging to the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce.
"Yori?"
Karl looked at the other party:
"I hope this won't happen in the future."
The reason why he must choose a force to join, Just to avoid similar situations like this.
If not...
Then why join?
"No, definitely not." Yuori waved his hands hastily, this is the person who has been given important care by his superiors.
Immediately said:
"Whoever dares to be disrespectful to you, I will never let him go!"
"Forget it this time." Karl threw away the gun in his hand Machete, asked:
"I heard that a batch of phantom scale fish scales have recently arrived at the store. I plan to buy some. Where can I find them?"
"Fantasy scale fish scales?" Yoli blinked:
"I I don’t know much about the store business, but a batch of new goods did come from the nearby store.”
“Please come here.”
The Phantom Scale Fish is a special underwater creature. , its fish scales can change colors for camouflage.
After its death, the fish scales are colorful and beautiful, and have a weak power to confuse the mind.
…………
Fragments of the Divine Realm.
Karl put down the fish scales and moved his wrist.
“The seal is still of some use.”
Regardless of the secondary magic field or the armor that can cover the whole body, it takes time to release.
The seals of the steel body are different.
It is on me all the time.
I just took the sword with my bare hands, firstly because my physique is strong enough, and secondly because of the confidence brought by the steel body seal.
This seal made his skin and flesh tighter, making it difficult for ordinary people to break through the defense even if they wielded a sword.
In case of emergencies, it is cheaper.
“Phantom Scales!”
Withdrawing his thoughts, Karl cast his gaze to one side.
As the master of the fragments of the divine realm, he can transform the environment here at will.
In order to facilitate the refining of potions, magical items, martial arts practice, and meditation, Karl divided the place into a four-room layout.
In each room, place different things.
One of them is specially used for experimenting with refining magical items.
‘According to the records in the book, materials with magical properties have explicit characteristics and are not easy to destroy or change. ’
‘It’s relatively easy to just integrate the characteristics into the weapon. ’
“Click… click…”
Karl rolled a small stone grinder to grind the scales of the phantom scale fish into powder, and carefully sifted out impurities.
The powder is transparent, but if you look closely under the light, it will show colorful and colorful brilliance.
If you watch it for a long time, it is easy to become addicted.
"It should be a witchcraft material!"
It's just a simple change of color. Ordinary creatures can also do it, such as chameleons, bamboo insects, etc.
But if it affects the mind, it becomes unusual.
There is a high probability that it has some kind of magic power.
"Hoo!"
Pull the bellows and the flame ignites.
Karl held a dagger with tongs in his hand, placed it on the forge, and rolled it from time to time to let it heat evenly.
He is a novice blacksmith.
Fortunately, I made weapons with my father when I was young, and I can accurately control the physical body in the fragments of God's Domain, so it is easy to get started.
"Ding-ding-dong-dang..."
The sound of beating sounded.
“I am really a hard worker. Others have ready-made masters, but I have to teach myself from scratch.”
"Alas!"
I sighed while busy.
Soon.
“Shua!”
A mediocre dagger appeared in Karl’s hand.
As he waved his arm, the dagger swayed, and in an instant it was like a rainbow emerging out of thin air.
Beautiful, beautiful, dangerous...
If you hold this weapon in a fight with someone, it will be difficult for the other party to detect the location of the dagger itself, and it is extremely easy to get lost in the halo produced by wielding the dagger.
Magic items!
Even if it only has a weak effect of confusing the mind, there is no doubt that he has created a magical item with his own hands!
"Even if it is useless to wizards, it can be worth dozens of gold coins as a special work of art."
Karl pondered for a moment, then turned his attention to the broken broadsword and the phantom fish trident. .
Except these.
There is also a pile of black stones.
It is not an ordinary black stone, but a black stone underground in the Black City near the Forgotten City, which is of higher quality.
If it is made into a weapon, its strength, toughness, and sharpness can be improved.
“Let’s start!”
Taking a deep breath, Karl stepped towards the material.
Please give me a monthly ticket! Please recommend...
