Chapter 76 Killing someone with a borrowed knife
Under the pressure of the two knights, the idea of secret investigation fled away.
In order to cover the teacher's retreat, Wayne stayed put and pretended to be more interested in the Dark Knight, confronting him in a concave shape.
After a while, after confirming that the teacher was safe, he slowly said:
"Leave it to me." x2
How could I leave it to you!
Wayne was disdainful and shook the reins and jumped into the transmission channel: "I am very interested in the head of the high priest. If you want it... each of you can do it according to his or her own abilities."
The Dark Knight said nothing. After the portal disappeared, his figure escaped into the darkness. When he reappeared, he appeared just in front of the undead horse.
Wayne was secretly surprised. Although Yulia's teleportation gate could not span long distances, the space magic involved was extremely exaggerated. He never expected that the Dark Knight's teleportation magic had the same effect.
This way, it only takes a few teleports to catch up to Xiffy.
Teacher, you have to run faster and don't look back.
"Jie Jie Jie, it's interesting."
Wayne's skull head grinned, trying to get the Dark Knight's attention again.
What's so good about a long-legged lady? A real man should fuck his bones. The night is going on, why don't we compete to see who can get the best look award tonight?
The effect was average, and the Dark Knight ignored him. He stepped into the dark place and freely shuttled through space. He dodged a few times and left Wayne far away.
What a hassle!
Wayne chased on horseback. He didn't know what the upper limit of Xifei's strength was, and who was stronger and who was weaker than the Dark Knight, but according to the supernatural induction warning, the Dark Knight was undoubtedly more dangerous.
Maybe it was because the Dark Knight came out with strong hostility and triggered the supernatural induction, but no matter what, Xifey treated him well and was his most respected mentor. His status was slightly higher than that of the housekeeper Fula. It must not be left alone.
Step back ten thousand steps, it is late at night, the man in black is following the long-legged beauty, the righteous death knight must call the police.
Two minutes later, seeing the Dark Knight approaching the source of his thoughts, he suddenly stopped and slowly turned around to look at the prancing Death Knight.
"Since you intend to take off the head of the High Priest of the Church of Nature, I will give her to you, but remember, Lundan is my territory, and no one can act recklessly in Lundan without my permission." Darkness The knight expressed his attitude indifferently. After speaking, he took a step forward and completely disappeared into the depths of darkness.
What does it mean when you suddenly stop chasing your prey when it is right in front of you?
Wayne didn't understand very well and suspected that his acting skills were limited. The other party noticed the clues. He hesitated for 0.01 seconds, shook the reins and continued to approach the teacher.
At this point, he had to do it even if he didn't, otherwise the Dark Knight would dare to spread rumors that the high priest of the Church of Nature was having an affair with the Death Knight.
Wayne didn't care, he would fall in love with someone as soon as he took off his vest.
If the teacher is not good enough, rumors flying all over the sky will definitely affect his career. He also hopes that the teacher will rise step by step and become a female pope in the future, supporting him, a candidate for a sleeping saint in the land of student fish and meat!
The undead war horse jumped out of the teleportation channel, landed on all fours, and trampled on the burning white light.
The white light spread out, like a stone breaking through the calm water, and faint ripples spread in all directions.
The scenery before Wayne's eyes changed drastically. The mist-shrouded tree-lined paths were washed away by ripples, and the wide long street shrouded in moonlight spread rapidly forward and backward.
The long street is about thirty meters wide, and the buildings on the left and right sides have obvious Gothic style. There are huge bell towers and majestic cathedrals. The towering towers reach straight into the clouds, and the black spiers penetrate like spears and swords.
The exterior walls of the building are covered with translucent glass with complex patterns. Through the windows, you can see the flickering candlelight in the dark, and faintly hear the melodious hymns of the choir.
The magnificent buildings are mysterious and solemn under the moonlight, and the sudden sound of bells gives the long street a layer of history.
Barrier?
Wayne looked at the endless street, unable to see into the distance, and was surprised to see a figure riding an undead war horse.
His back!
"Something, but not much..."
Wayne said in a low voice, maybe the Church of Nature knows the death knight very well, has rich fighting experience, and is proficient in one hundred and eight little tricks to trap the death knight.
It's a pity that empiricism kills people. It's the wrong person. He is not a death knight.
In terms of strength, Wayne knows that he is not as good as the Death Knight, but in terms of skills, he has more countermeasures than the Death Knight with a single attribute.
Super vision!
Magic power surged up, and the black smoke surged like a blazing black flame. Two white lights bloomed from Wayne's skull head, sweeping across the entire place like a sharp sword, and found a sutured section on the long street that connected from end to end.
The two Gothic buildings, one tall and one short, have flaws in their spliced sections.
It looks very much like an AI program that can't draw fingers. It's the kind that looks perfect at first glance and can't find any faults. But after a closer look, it's like a six-finger piano demon.
Wayne pulled out the Shadow Nightmare, and the blade of the sword reflected the cold white moonlight, illuminating the knight's white skull. He rode his horse and sprinted, slashing the sword towards the section joint.
There was a loud bang and vibration.
The picture in front of him shattered like a mirror, and a deep space passage appeared in front of him.
Without hesitation, Wayne rode the undead war horse to perform space teleportation, and jumped out of the barrier before the passage contracted rapidly.
This time, what appeared in front of Wayne was a lush green forest.
The roots of ancient trees are intertwined, and countless giant trees stand like ancient giants between heaven and earth. The continuous forest sea looks magnificent from a distance, slowly unfolding a vast picture.
The second layer of barrier has not yet been set up. Several mages stared blankly at the sudden appearance of the death knight, wondering why the other party was so fast today.
The leading woman has an extremely beautiful appearance, her facial features are as delicate as porcelain, her long hair is like a waterfall and exudes a faint fragrance. She wears a light green dress that is close to the body and perfectly outlines her graceful figure.
Seeing the undead knight looking over, he quickly raised his hand to cover his face.
Wayne looked at the other person in surprise. In terms of thinking, there was almost no difference between the other person and his teacher Xifei. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were the same person.
What's going on? Is it the teacher's twin sister?
Wayne didn't know why. Seeing that the woman had an elegant temperament and was around 27 or 28 years old, she couldn't be the teacher's daughter, so he could only make the above guess.
However, why are you covering your face? It’s not ugly!
On the opposite side, the woman was extremely remorseful. The surging magic power of the golden mage level erupted from her body. The magic tide rolled into the green sky and merged into a wisp of pure moonlight. She quickly completed the deployment of the second layer of the barrier.
The cold moon shone down from the sky, turning into invisible chains to wrap around the undead war horse. Wayne's arm holding the sword was as heavy as a stone, and a strange, weird, indescribable coldness hit his skeletal body.
"The barrier won't trap him for long. I've planted the seeds. The mission is accomplished. Let's retreat." The woman quickly ordered and led several subordinates into the barrier's secret door.
On Wayne's side, he felt as if there was something extra in his body. He felt it, and so did the Book of Greed.
Ugh!
"Don't eat so fast next time, at least let me see what it is."
Wayne complained, still wondering about the similarities between the mysterious woman's and the teacher's thinking. It was difficult to tell the truth from the false, and even he, the student, had hidden it.
"Who is it?"
Wayne lamented that Lundan was a crouching tiger, hidden dragon, and any magician who stood up was outrageously powerful. He cut off the invisible chains around him with his sword, and rode an undead horse to stroll through the barrier.
Although it is just an illusory boundary, the natural scenery is magnificent and vast, giving him a sense of tranquility that is refreshing to the heart. Practicing communication with nature here will definitely have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort. Wayne was so greedy that he wanted to sit down and meditate immediately.
It's a pity that I can't sit down!
As soon as the camera turned, the undead war horse jumped out of the portal, shaking its head and snoring continuously.
"Master, I am allergic to pollen."
"Stop making trouble. You're dead with only a handful of bones left. How can you be allergic to pollen?"
Wayne patted the horse's head. Pollen allergy was impossible. All he could say was that the venue was restrained. Yulia liked the cemeteries in the dark and disliked the natural boundaries under the moonlight.
"Who is it?"
Wayne muttered about the woman's identity, and suddenly a doubt came to mind. When he was confronting the Dark Knight, a thought very similar to that of his teacher suddenly intervened.
At that time, he thought that the teacher saw a dog biting a dog, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud in excitement. Now that he thought about it, it was clear that the other party did it deliberately, deliberately exposing himself to attract the attention of the two knights of death and darkness.
Wayne couldn't figure it out after that. The other party led him into the barrier and seemed to have done nothing...
Oh, it’s not like nothing was done.
The woman buried something, something related to the moonlight, which was stuffed into the book of greed and became food for the little eyes.
Wayne guessed that this was a conspiracy against the Knights. The Dark Knight noticed the clues in advance and retreated decisively without going deeper. He was the only one who stepped into the trap.
"No, there is another person who was also plotted!"
The teacher's face appeared in front of Wayne's eyes. The woman did not set up the ambush for the purpose of fighting, but after some manipulations, she successfully attracted two hatreds for the teacher, one was a death knight and the other was a dark knight.
It's a pity that the agency thought too much, but failed to realize that the death knight broke through the first layer of barrier in advance and saw her true face.
"The other party can skillfully control nature and moonlight magic. Is he a member of the Free Mage Alliance, or is the Three Goddess Alliance of Lundan dissatisfied with the teacher and came to kill someone with a borrowed knife?"
Wayne pondered for a moment. The situation was getting more and more confusing. The information he had was limited and he could no longer understand it.
Very troublesome!
Not only is Xifei getting into more and more troubles, but his student is also getting deeper and deeper into trouble.
The death knight's vest involves too much, and every time it appears, it attracts a lot of attention. For example, tonight, it directly attracted the close attention of several churches, and the appearances were all high-level leaders of the major churches in Lundan.
The more the death knight's vest is involved, the wider the impact will be, and the more serious the upgrade situation will be.
Wayne decided that it was necessary to put this vest aside and reduce the number of public appearances in the near future. It was best not to appear in public and hide the death knight.
In the eyes of outsiders, Lundan's Death Knight is himself. Wayne knows very well that he can pull out the Shadow Nightmare with the Book of Greed. He is not a Death Knight and cannot handle the grudges and grudges of the other party.
If we keep pretending like this, the situation will only get worse until it collapses with no end in sight.
Paper cannot contain fire, and fakes will always be fakes. He wears a vest for convenience, not to draw fire.
"The suddenly powerful power made me a little forgetful. It's time to fight. It's time to return to that mediocre magician apprentice..."
Wayne took a deep breath. The death knight's vest had too much influence, which was both a good thing and a bad thing. Tonight was a reminder to him that it was better to keep a low profile as a magician.
The powerful power aroused the desire to become more and more intense. He was carried away by the power, and he had been a little drifting recently. The previous horse riding on the long river and tonight's party were all unwise actions to inflate the desire for power.
Wayne shook his head repeatedly. The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. Lundan was not the remote town of Enlord, and the power was not just the Geocentric Cult that had no place on the stage. He didn't even know the depth of Lundan, so he jumped out to focus the fire. It's so smart.
Take a look at the Dark Knight. He is so low-key. Apart from taking the initiative to meet his allies, he hides in secret from beginning to end and is determined not to expose himself to the public.
"I've learned it. If I try to show off from now on, I'll be a hammer!"
Wayne gritted his teeth and took it as a warning, vowing to learn from the Dark Knight and never come to the forefront without showing his face.
Especially the waistcoat. The waistcoat is used to take the blame, not to show off. The power of the waistcoat does not represent oneself. You still have to rely on yourself as a person. Constant self-improvement is the king.
However, self-improvement and self-improvement are two different things. You still have to take action. If he doesn't take action, the fellow villagers will have no choice but to live on the streets.
————
The next day dawned, and the dawn fog had not yet dissipated.
Wayne dragged his exhausted body back to the detective agency. Last night, he returned to the sewers and turned his grief and anger into strength. Under the leadership of the fire element, he successively raided several gathering places for his fellow villagers.
"This group of unscrupulous people is hiding deeper and deeper."
Wayne muttered and pushed open the back door. Fortunately, Ah Huo had the courage to report and actively led the way, otherwise he would have been dodged by earth, water and wind.
After working hard for several nights, especially last night when a wave of hard work came, Wayne's life essence, which had not been touched for a long time, rose to 96%. Although the increase was not large, the progress bar successfully advanced further, and the effect was gratifying.
Entering the detective agency, Wayne noticed something strange.
The furniture was arranged exactly as before, and the books, papers and pens on the desk had not moved, but he still smelled the stranger's scent.
Three smells, tobacco and alcohol.
Wayne narrowed his eyes slightly and checked around. Someone came to the house last night, and the five hundred constitutions he put in the drawer remained untouched, indicating that the other party was not seeking money.
If you don't seek wealth, you will only be in trouble.
"Obviously I just want to meditate in a low-key manner, but why do people keep targeting me? Who is it this time, and what enemies have I made?" Wayne was full of doubts and was preparing to set up an ambush. He would follow the clues tonight to find out the opponent's background.
After pondering for a moment, he gave up the idea, turned to the street phone booth, and dialed Teacher Yu Jie's number.
"The detective agency is not safe. I am being targeted by someone, maybe the same big shot from before."
"It's impossible. Although he talks about benevolence, justice and morality, and lies all about lying to women, he still has basic integrity."
"..."
Teacher, do you want to listen to what you are saying? This is a wrong sentence and is inconsistent.
Also, what is your relationship with that big shot? It doesn’t sound right!
"Teacher, do you still have a safe house in Lundan? I want to find a quiet corner to concentrate on meditation."
"There are so many. Sister will give you an address and let them make arrangements. You can move in this afternoon."
"Sorry to trouble you." Wayne was overjoyed. He had a arrogant teacher and it was convenient to move.
"There is no need to be polite between you and me. Meditate well. When you become a magician on your own, my sister will ask you to help support the scene."
On the other side of the phone, Heaphy once again told Wayne not to appear in public in the near future, and then said: "A few guests are here. I'll call you in the evening."
