Chapter 528 Assassination-Ashore
The banquet was proceeding leisurely. As Mike's performance ended, some nobles who had a good relationship with the Earl's Palace began to give out their gifts according to the banquet procedure.
For those who are qualified to be ranked on this occasion, the things they give out cannot be bad.
Then Wang Yi found out interestingly that most of the things given out were related to magic, and they were all magic gadgets.
This also shows how popular magic items are among the nobility.
Because they were all things for little girls, most of them were shiny, and Barbara seemed very happy to receive the gifts.
"Thank you all guests for your precious gifts. Every guest here today has sent gifts that represent their own new ideas. However, due to the impact of the banquet time, we will no longer display them one by one. During this period, everyone should be The song is a baptism of elven-style music, and today, the author of the music has also come to the scene and is ready to present a song to our Miss Barbara..."
Soon, it was finally Wang Yi's turn to appear.
What made him feel a little interesting was that the seemingly completely unrelated people he labeled as assassins looked at each other in tacit understanding at this time.
Do you want to take action while your side is playing?
This is true...
"Are these some unlucky factors caused by the rejection of the world's will..."
Wang Yi shook his head in his heart while carrying the organ.
Barbara, the naughty child, seemed to still remember Wang Yi staring at her mother before, and now she stared at him with wide eyes, as if she wanted to turn her head away and not listen.
However, as the beautiful melody appeared, Wang Yi's completely different elf-style tune appeared, which immediately attracted the little girl's attention.
Others nearby were also amazed. They thought it was still the same song "Savage Out of the Mountain" but this time it was the original song, but they didn't expect it to be a new song.
This time, because there is no need to consider the problem of communication, the rhythm and singing skills are much higher, but it is also obviously more pleasant to the ears.
"Say goodbye to all your worries..."
While playing casually, Wang Yi also observed the reactions of the assassins with great interest.
Although they were in different positions and in different small circles, they all started to move in unison while sharing music as if they wanted to get closer.
As they moved and their eyes wandered occasionally, Wang Yi also found out clearly that their main target did not seem to be Count Luke.
This made Wang Yi feel a little interesting, like watching a puppet show.
There will be dead men in this world, but such people who don't care about their own lives are extremely rare and rare.
In fact, if there is a person who is willing to die for loyalty, then placing him in some key positions is much more important than using him as cannon fodder to die.
Even if the ability is limited, as long as there is enough loyalty, it is actually a good form of deterrence and supervision.
Since it was not a sneak attack on Count Luke, even if they showed up and succeeded in assassinating the target, it would be in vain, and they would definitely suffer the wrath of Count Luke.
Even though they were all superb high-level assassins, facing Luke, who had almost reached the peak of being a great knight, a head-on encounter was completely unsatisfactory.
In other words, there is a high probability that there will be other cooperation and back-up tactics to ensure that they escape intact...
Wang Yi sang a blessing song while paying attention to the Saint mage and the countess.
If they could hold Luke back for a short period of time and have a chance to ensure his successful departure, then these two mages were the only ones.
The two mages had focused on Count Luke many times before, but this was actually a normal phenomenon.
But now that you are singing such a good song, the Countess is nodding along to the beat, and you, the Saint, are still touching the ring from time to time. Doesn't this mean you don't take yourself too seriously?
Is the song I sing not good?
As Wang Yi's rhythm came to an end, he suddenly relied on temporary adjustments to come to a rather abrupt but stunning ending.
Everyone didn't react for a while, but when they came to their senses, they gave him warm applause.
"Another new song."
“The previous one was very good!”
"Master."
"..."
Nobles like to be arty. When Wang Yi showed enough musical ability and talent, the eyes of the nobility became a little different.
Mike sings well, but he is not a musical master himself!
Usually he just acts as a tool.
But there are currently two elf songs in succession, and the second one is obviously cheerful and birthday-celebrating. You can imagine how popular this song will be in the future.
Aristocrats all like to compare, so from now on other people's birthday parties will be a little embarrassed if they don't have this song to cheer them up!
As the first public appearance of the song, this dinner party may become a topic of conversation in the future, making both Count Luke and Miss Barbara very happy.
Sister-in-law Liang, who was originally a little dissatisfied with Wang Yi, was now excited and clapped her hands continuously. For children, the mood always changes quickly.
"It's really beautiful music. It's actually a new elf-style song. Master Yi's musical talent is really amazing. Master Yi has given such beautiful blessings to our beautiful little princess, so our little birthday girl needs to give something back." Master Yi gave me a small gift to express my gratitude..."
Pusen continued the process, and Barbara, who was initially a little resistant, happily picked a small flower and ran over with short legs.
Wang Yi also smiled and knelt down and let her put the flowers on his head.
At this time, the assassins who had completely completed their planned positions through continuous movement also moved.
Bang bang bang~
First, some of the balls leaking out of the trouser legs exploded almost at the same time, sending out streams of thick, acrid black smoke.
"Toxic!"
"There is an assassin!"
"..."
The piercing screams undulated with each other, and the pungent black smoke that made people cry instantly made many nobles at the scene change their expressions and avoid them.
The scene was chaotic.
The two assassins closest to Wang Yi, a lady dressed as a noblewoman and an elderly wealthy businessman, also silently attacked him in an instant before the screams could be heard.
The superb assassination skills are even better than Shalltear's talent as a catwoman.
The movement is silent, and you can't even feel the killing intent or air flow fluctuations.
The purpose of the two people is also very clear, that is, Barbara, who has just placed flowers in front of Wang Yi.
When one of them just broke out, he raised his hand and threw out a dagger with a green blade.
The target is directly at Wang Yi.
It was obvious that he wanted to kill him as a hindrance first, and then capture Barbara alive.
No matter how you look at it, a living hostage will always have a better effect...
Chapter 783
When the black smoke first erupted, some capable people at the scene reacted quickly.
The one who reacted the fastest was undoubtedly Earl Luke.
And just at the beginning, he immediately knew what the other party's main purpose was.
But just as he was about to rush towards his daughter, he suddenly felt a heavy feeling under his feet. When he lowered his head, he saw several invisible magic arms reaching out from the ground and grabbing his legs.
"Sent! Humph!"
He was a top knight after all. Following the breathing method, a hot breath suddenly burst out, and Luke seemed to be wrapped in flames!
Those invisible magic arms were dispelled in an instant.
The Blazing Earl was not the only one who defeated the Blazing Bird!
"My lord, please stay."
Senter was obviously well prepared. As the magic ring on his finger bloomed with brilliance, just in the time bought by the simple restriction of magic prepared in advance, there were links one after another.
A cage formed by flowing water has been formed, constantly rotating, temporarily confining Earl Luke and Countess!
This is the mage. When prepared, he can always find the best way to deal with the opponent's characteristics.
Because the gap between the two sides is too big, it is of course difficult to defeat him, but with certain restrictions and delaying time, Senter, who has enough props and preparations, is confident enough to fight for a while.
Mental calculations and unintentional calculations allowed me to get the upper hand, and I also prepared the magic props against the Earl of Flame in advance. I have...
boom!
The water prison suddenly expanded and boiled, making Senter's eyes suddenly widen.
I saw that a large amount of fire elements were quickly gathering on the Countess' side, constantly cooperating with Count Luke's breathing method for blessing.
This made the carefully prepared water prison immediately feel like it was boiling inside, and sweat appeared on Senter's forehead in an instant.
Mage!
Who would have thought that the countess was a mage? !
This kind of magic control that can be temporarily changed according to local conditions, what is it if it is not a mage!
Originally, he deliberately controlled the countess. The main reason was that the magic power induced by the knight's breathing method was not precise and it was easy to accidentally injure her!
With his wife by his side, Earl Luke couldn't use his full strength at all, and his water prison could trap the opponent for a longer period of time.
But now it's completely different. The countess is actually a mage!
In addition to self-protection and avoiding the consequences that Count Luke did not deliberately target, he can also mobilize more magic power of the same attribute to bless Count Luke!
This change directly disrupted all subsequent changes in his routine.
"Hurry up, I can't delay for much longer!"
As he spoke, he quickly gritted his teeth and took out a scroll, tearing it apart directly.
Suppress the flames!
This is a magic that he cannot release yet. It can greatly limit the activity of the fire element in an area. Like the previous water prison, it is a specially targeted prop.
But the countess on the other side also tore up a scroll, and the flames increased.
Although the effect is not as strong as mine, it can offset one or two to some extent.
Damn it, the opponent also has a mage to assist him. Even if he is not prepared in advance, there are too many variables to deal with.
Why haven't these losers succeeded yet...
Just when he was sketching a spell model in the void and starting to take out new magic items, he took the time to look back, but his eyes couldn't help but widen, and the magic necklace he took out almost shook and he couldn't hold it steady. .
What a cheat...
In the arena where the smoke had cleared, the singing master Yi was standing there casually holding a target in one hand.
There was a dagger fixed in mid-air ahead that could not be moved forward.
But the two assassins who were originally preparing to kidnap Barbara were directly penetrated and entangled by chains extending from the void, unable to move!
Damn it!
Why another one?
How come there are so many variables in this nearly perfect plan?
"Give up Earl Luke and catch the little ones with all your strength. I'll hold them back!"
Originally, with the cooperation of a formal mage who was willing to do calculations but not to be careful, they had some ideas about Luke.
Anyway, he was careless about his head and tail. If he failed to stop him in the first place, he could still use the countess to threaten him. Or if the timing was perfect, he wouldn't be able to attack this top knight directly.
Luke is strong, but they already fully understand that he is a guy who values family affection, whether it is his brother, his wife and daughter.
There are two weaknesses in him at the scene. No matter how strong he is, he can't do anything at all.
If a person is killed, he will die!
But the result was almost perfect, the situation was perfect, and there were multiple sets of preparation plans, but they were disrupted by the sudden arrival of two mages.
Who would have known that the Countess, who had always been the representative of noble ladies, would actually be a formal mage with considerable abilities.
What's even more exaggerated is that the singer over there is also a mage?
Since when have mages become so bad?
Who in the family understands?
Senter, who had been the number one mage in Dunnuo City for so many years, now felt bitter in his mouth.
Sure enough, you shouldn’t be greedy!
And now the only chance is falling on the earl's daughter.
Two assassins have been restrained, and there are five left!
Although the mages are extremely powerful, the five high-level assassins still have a great chance...
But the next moment, there was only the sound of chains in the void. Chains filled with a sense of thickness shot out from the ripples in the void. As soon as the assassins who burst out suddenly showed their heads, they were instantly penetrated by the chains. , and then hung in the air.
Those chains seemed to have no entity, just shadows, and no blood appeared after being penetrated.
But even the well-trained high-level assassins were groaning and wailing at this time.
"What kind of magic is this?!"
Senter's eyes widened.
So simple?
Ask yourself if you change your position, even if you use props, it will be difficult to cope with such an emergency. It would be great if you can barely protect yourself and escape!
But the other party didn't seem to use any props at all, and captured all the assassins alive just by casting spells? !
In terms of magic power fluctuation, he is actually not stronger than himself, but what exactly is this technique? What kind of magic is this?
"Oh, you dare to be distracted?"
Count Luke's cold voice came, and the next moment the water prison completely boiled and shattered!
A flash of fire flashed, and the magic shield on Center's side was instantly shattered like an egg shell. His whole body was blasted out like a cannonball, creating a circle of air in the air and hitting the castle wall.
A magic pattern flashed on the castle wall itself, and it withstood the impact without being damaged.
Rings, necklaces, and waist pendants on Center's body were shattered one after another.
Many brilliant magical lights appeared in the sky, but they were all shattered by one blow, leaving a rainbow behind.
In the end, it slowly slid down the solid castle wall like a dead dog, occasionally twitching.
It has to be said that the shattering of the equipment on his body had some effect, and he was not directly killed by Luke's blow.
It was only at this time that some nobles with professional strength on the scene reacted one after another, and used breathing methods to activate their magic power, forming waves of magic power that jumped out.
"Lord Earl, I'm here to help you!"
"Hey~ You Catwoman looks like an assassin at first glance, look at me..."
But just when a noble knight stared at Shalltear who also showed the breathing method and was ready to help Wang Yi.
Ripples appeared in the air again, and another void chain shot out instantly and pierced him in the air, causing the expressions of the nobles next to him to change slightly.
Listening to the other party's pitiful scream, Wang Yicai put down Barbara, who was hanging on him like a wombat and trembling, and said softly
"This is my female companion, do you also want to hold her hostage..."
Chapter 784: Coming ashore
The noble knight who was chained to the sky by Wang Yi was wailing because of pain
"No! No! I really don't know! Let me go!"
Compared with the groans of those assassins, the noble's endurance was obviously much lower. The stinging sensation caused by the chain that directly penetrated the soul was too strong and he could not bear it at all.
Such a little Karami seems to be telling the truth...
Feeling the panic in the other party's emotions along the chain, Wang Yi casually removed the chain the next moment.
But with the clattering sound of the chain being pulled out, the nobleman began to scream again, feeling as if a rugged iron had penetrated his soul.
After landing, there were obviously no wounds on the surface, but his whole body was slumped on the ground, twitching from time to time, with saliva drooling from the corners of his mouth, and he seemed to not want to move...
The scene seemed a little quiet at this time.
The black poisonous smoke also gradually dissipated. The main purpose of this poisonous smoke is to interfere with it. The main toxicity is still irritating to the eyes, nose and throat, as well as its black characteristic that does not dissipate.
Some guests at the banquet were receiving treatment from the guards who came in behind with red eyes, looking very embarrassed.
Overturned tables and chairs, food and drinks spilled on the floor, dropped high heels, and some pendants and shawls made the scene a mess.
However, at this time, several nobles and those who were not affected by the poisonous smoke all focused on Wang Yi, who had restrained all the assassins.
Too strong!
If this mage hadn't come out of nowhere to turn the tide, then this banquet would really have been a happy event that turned into a funeral!
The opponent was so well prepared that even the powerful Earl Luke was trapped by targeted props for so long. With the cooperation of those high-level assassins, he was fully capable of snatching Miss Barbara and escaping.
Even if the countess's sudden attack may break the original plan, Miss Barbara may not be able to be prevented from being captured. At most, the mage Senter will be left behind.
To steal the daughter of a top knight in front of everyone, what a crazy and bold move.
But that’s what they did!
And the little sister-in-law, Liang, cried and ran in the direction of her father after Wang Yi let go of her hand. Finally, she hugged Count Luke's leg and started to cry loudly.
It was precisely because of her crying that the brief silence was broken.
"Thank you Master Yi for your help, otherwise it would be really unimaginable. I didn't expect that Master Senter was bribed."
Earl Luke walked toward Wang Yi sincerely, then lowered his proud head and bent down to express his heartfelt thanks.
"It's nothing, they attacked me first, it was just a matter of convenience."
Wang Yi glanced at the lady who was hanging in the air and throwing a dagger at him, but she seemed indifferent.
"President Mike didn't tell us that the master is still a mage."
Luke stood up straight again and looked at the restrained assassins with a look of emotion on his face.
It is a means of casting spells, and this speed does not rule out the possibility of being a warlock who specializes in certain spells, but you must still call the other party a mage.
Mike, who had just recovered from the shock, couldn't help but feel embarrassed on his face.
If I had changed my words more slowly, would I have been hanging in the sky like this?
And judging from the howling of the noble knight before, it seemed to be very uncomfortable.
Even these well-trained high-level assassins couldn't bear it.
Earl Luke has already spoken, so of course Mike has to explain a few words, after all, he really knows that the other party is a spell caster!
"Well, I think Master Yi is relatively low-key and may not want to be known to everyone. And although I know that Master Yi is a spell caster, I didn't expect him to be so powerful..."
The wry smile on Mike's face made Earl Luke nod. In any case, Mike would have made a contribution this time, if he hadn't invited Master Yi to come and play.
Then this time the consequences are really unacceptable!
Seven high-level assassins plus a rebellious official mage.
Even though they may not be able to pose an effective threat to the couple because they didn't expect Lilith's strength, the chance of catching Barbara is really great!
A well-prepared formal mage, even though he was a whole step behind him, the trouble and damage he caused was completely beyond expectations.
Several magic items specifically targeted at him, coupled with his own spellcasting, had forced the delay for so long, and this was only with the help of Lilith.
If Lilith wasn't around, he might be in some danger if he suddenly got into trouble.
But compared to himself, he cares more about his daughter!
This means that the party who secretly takes action knows quite a bit about itself!
But looking at Mage Cent who was lying against the wall and being shackled and guarded by soldiers, Luke couldn't help but look a little gloomy.
Even this mage who has been stationed in Dunnuo City for so many years was instigated to rebel, but he is still the president of the Mage Guild and his magic consultant!
Sure enough, it was the same incident caused by the Blazing Bird last time.
"Master Yi, you have also seen that Master Sente is no longer able to assume the responsibility of the president of the Mage Guild. I wonder if you are honored to invite you to become the president of our Mage Guild in Dunno City?"
Earl Luke invited Wang Yi.
The Mages Guild is not the same as Leo Floating City. It is equivalent to an organization that serves mages from all over the world. It is a management model that combines multiple areas. It not only accepts some information constraints from the Mages Guild General Conference, but also is more influenced by local influences.
Therefore, if Luke, as the lord of the East Land, invites Wang Yi to become the president and submits it, as long as he comes and proves that Wang Yi is an official mage, it will be approved directly.
In fact, not only the Mages Guild, but also various other professional guilds will be subject to local restrictions to some extent. Even organizations in gray areas such as the Thieves Guild, if Luke expresses strong dissatisfaction, the president will be changed in order to avoid conflicts. .
Of course, this is because Earl Luke, as the Lord of the East, has the reputation and strength of Earl Flame here, so he has a stronger voice. If it is an ordinary city, it may be the other way around. The guild headquarters sends a The branch president arrives and informs the local manager. This is considered a report.
"President of the Mages Guild?"
Wang Yi raised his eyebrows and felt a little interesting.
Is this just a direct infiltration into the organization?
Thinking of the mage tower with poor craftsmanship except for Gaowai, Wang Yi also nodded
"Yes, but I am not affiliated with the Mages Guild, nor have I registered, and I will leave if I want to travel in the future."
Wang Yi made many demands, but this was also the benefit brought by his achievements and strength.
Earl Luke readily agreed to this
"Of course, in fact, Master Sente used to travel from time to time, and the specific matters can be left to the apprentices below..."
