Chapter 15 Conflict in the Tavern
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!"
The sound of breaking through the air sounded, and Pate was more than 50 meters away from the door of Money Brothers Tavern. However, for a high-speed flying arcane missile, it only took less than 2 seconds from the time it escaped to hit the target.
The strong man in the lead noticed something was wrong when he heard the sound. When he turned his head and saw the missile, it was too late to dodge.
He barely made a sideways movement, but the dexterous purple projectile also changed its flight trajectory, flew out in a bright arc, and accurately hit the strong man's chest.
"Bang!"
A huge impact broke out, and the strong man was beaten on the spot and lost control of his expression. His face involuntarily showed a distorted look of pain, as if he had received a heavy blow on the head, his eyes turned black, and he vomited blood with a loud sound. , and then let out a painful scream.
Although he was not knocked unconscious directly, the impact of the missile alone was enough for him to drink a pot. The pain from his chest and abdomen made him unable to stand firmly and almost lost his ability to move.
The other four people who reacted were startled at first, and quickly went up to help him, and looked in the direction of Pet.
"Boss!"
"Is it okay!"
"What's going on?"
"There is a mage! He is a mage!"
The leading strong man endured the severe pain of being hit by a missile and tried to look at Peter from a distance.
There were no signs of the gangs in the downtown area that he was familiar with, unlike the people from other gangs.
Moreover, the slightly exquisite clothes on Peter's body clearly showed that he was not from the downtown area.
Can't figure out the origin.
"You...you are...that way. We should...have no grievances. Is there...any misunderstanding!"
No wonder he had to be cautious. Although gangs were rampant in Xiacheng District and there was a mixture of good and bad, most of the gangsters were actually slightly better than ordinary people. First-level professionals could be considered the core strength of the gang.
After all, if you want to become a professional, it is not enough to have basic talents. You also need to have enough financial resources to pay fees to the corresponding church. Under the leadership of the church deacons, you must learn the correct methods of prayer, meditation and exercise to truly become a professional. .
The few strong men who came to cause trouble were all ordinary people, and the strongest leader among them was barely at the level of a trainee warrior. He was not a professional, but had secretly learned some basic combat training and martial arts movements. Now I haven't even touched the threshold of mastering anger.
Pate can release serious first-level spells such as [Arcane Missile], which means that he is a true professional.
Moreover, Pett just took action without saying a word, which also made several gangsters confused about his background and where he came from.
If you accidentally provoke some big boss, gangsters like them who hang out in downtown areas, it is a basic operation to adapt to the situation, so they must give up decisively.
This is when Peter's confidence is bursting with confidence, and he is not afraid at all:
"There's no misunderstanding! It's you I'm hitting!"
"When I came here, I saw you guys smashing up other people's taverns. What the hell, I didn't even smash up farmers' houses when I took my guards out to show off my power in my hometown!"
The strong man, with the support of the men next to him, threatened sinisterly: "Don't blame us for not reminding you. The owner of this tavern has offended Lord Dursley. If you dare to go against us, you are insulting Lord Dursley's face." , you should know the pros and cons, right?"
However, Peter looked confused.
"Who is Dursley?"
The leading strong man's face suddenly darkened.
What the hell!
No need to worry!
If the other party is related to any decent gentleman from the upper city, they must have encountered a hard problem this time. In the boundary of Green Harbor, the people from the lower city will not end well if they go against those from the upper city. Let the people of Shangcheng District deal with matters in Shangcheng District internally. They just act as thugs to earn some extra money, but they don't dare to interfere, so they can only admit that they are unlucky.
It turns out that the co-author is a reckless outsider.
Without any scruples, the strong man's voice suddenly became louder:
"I thought he had some background, but he turns out to be a young boy!"
"Brothers, don't be afraid, rush over! What about the mage, as long as he gets close, he can't do anything to us!"
"Whoever can knock him down will get half of the bounty given by Mr. Dursley!"
The strong man shouted, and when the other four boys heard that there was money to be taken, their blood immediately rushed to their heads, and they rushed towards Pete with howls.
Peter had gone through the "baptism" of fighting the aberrant monster. Now these gangsters were just a small scene to him. He quickly sketched out the familiar spell model, and three new purple missiles quickly took shape in his hands.
"Arcane Missiles!"
There was a sound of breaking through the air, and the gangster who was rushing at the front didn't even have time to dodge. The arcane missile just hit his chin, and he was sent flying into the air. With a crunch, his eyes rolled back, and he was knocked unconscious on the spot!
[Mission: Defeat the gangster 1/5]
"hiss……"
The other three gangsters took a breath when they saw the huge power of the missile, and their forward momentum suddenly stopped.
They were blinded by money just now, but the reason why real professionals can widen the gap between them and ordinary people is because the real spells and combat skills they master have great power.
The leading strong man took a hit, and even if he was not knocked unconscious, he lost the ability to move on the spot;
If it fell on the younger brothers like them, the one who had just been knocked unconscious was a lesson learned from the past, and they would definitely hit them one by one!
What's more, the magic construction and chanting of [Arcane Missile] is not complicated. With Peter's current proficiency, it only takes 2 seconds from the beginning of casting to the formation of the missile.
Although the mage will be very weak if he is close, he still needs to be able to get close.
As long as there was a certain distance between the two sides, they might have to be named and knocked down one by one before they even rushed in front of Pet.
The gangsters were not stupid, and they hesitated for a while.
Seeing this, the leader hurriedly shouted:
"Don't be afraid! This guy looks like a just beginning spell caster. I've heard that a mage has a limit on the number of times he can cast spells per day! He has already cast it twice! If he casts it again at most, he will have to rest!"
"Whoever takes him down will get my share of the bounty!"
There must be a brave man under the heavy reward. The three gangsters who were still standing looked at each other, howled and continued to rush towards Pet.
If Peter had only one last chance to cast a spell, he would only be able to kill one of them and misfire. In other words, they only had a one-third chance of becoming the unlucky ones.
The other two people have a chance to get a lot of reward money!
The gangsters in the downtown area don't have much money, and they spend money lavishly. They were promised a large sum of money when they smashed up Money Brothers' Tavern this time. If they really got it, it would be enough for them to live happily for a long time. .
Facing three enemies who were still capable of fighting, Peter did not panic at all, and continued to outline the model of the next [Arcane Missile] according to his familiar rhythm.
