Chapter 89 Embarrassed Escape
The incident that happened to the old beggar scared everyone present. This... this is really weird!
"I'm doing it, what's going on?" The wild wolf jumped up from the chair, his dark face turned slightly white. Even though he was a bully before, he had never seen such a cruel and bloody scene. The key is that this man pulled his tongue out. How crazy is it?
Lu Yisha and Harrington were both shocked and took a step back unconsciously. The other members of the mercenary group were not much better, and their faces showed panic.
Among the people present, Horn was the most calm. At first, he was also shocked, but he first reacted, immediately drew his sword, rushed forward a few steps, and ended the beggar's life with one sword, ending his pain.
"Hone, this..." Lu Yisha's eyes widened, she needed an explanation of what she said.
Horn's face was very serious: "I heard that a powerful mage can cast a verbal scheming. As long as the person who casts the spell mentioned certain words, he would remain silent uncontrollably. Perhaps the beggar is the same... No, the verbal scheming is far less tragic than that. It's more like an evil curse. If I was right, the guy in the rat path would probably not be a pure frost mage."
Horn didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Lu Yisha and others knew about the destruction of the God Cult. They all understood what he meant, that is, Valos had completely fallen and became a dark mage.
The dark mage's spells are very terrifying. Horn and the other two once faced a smoldering mage in person, and they were still scared of dark spells.
"I'm going to fight with this pervert again!" The wild wolf swallowed. When he thought of the rainy night half a month ago, he felt panicked.
Horn tried his best to keep himself from the influence of these panics. Continue to analyze: "We caught a beggar casually, and the beggar was cursed. This may be a coincidence, but more likely, it means that Valos cast a forbidden curse on everyone in the rat path. However, what the old beggar said and his performance just now are actually enough to prove Valos' existence. So I guess that the biggest function of this curse is not to shut up, but to early warning. As long as someone triggers the curse, Valos will know it as soon as possible."
"You mean, Valos may have known that we are here?" Lu Yisha was very convinced by Horn. No matter what happened these days, he seemed to have a way to solve it, and it was very effective.
“It’s very likely.”
"Then he may have run away now, he is not stupid!" Harrington frowned.
Horn nodded and continued his previous analysis: "But don't worry. I know the specific location of the exit of the Rat Road. There are three exits in total, one is the entrance of the alley, and the other leads to the port. The other leads to the castle area. The Castle area is heavily guarded, and Valos will definitely not dare to walk. The entrance of the alley is a relatively open exit of the Rat Road, and too many people know that since he is about to escape, he will definitely not take this road. So his only choice is to go to the port. Let's go to the port now to block him! If you are lucky, you may be able to attack."
This analysis made great sense. Everyone nodded, pulled out the guy and rushed towards the dock.
On the way, the wild wolf couldn't help asking: "Hone, why are you so familiar with rats? Have you ever been in?"
"No. But don't forget that I used to live in the old town and grew up here since I was a child. I often see people coming out of the dock port. As for the exit of the castle area, I'm not sure, I heard people say it."
"Why didn't I see anyone coming out?" He was also an indigenous person in the old city.
"Because nothing you see in your eyes goes into your brain, you see it, but you don't pay attention." Horn smiled.
"Okay, my mind is not very good." The wild wolf recalled carefully, and seemed to remember that he had seen it once or twice, but he was either fucking women or fighting, and he didn't care about this thing at all.
The pier is not far from the tavern in the old city, only three or four miles away. In less than ten minutes, the group arrived at the pier.
It was around nine o'clock in the evening, and the dock was no longer hustle and bustle during the day. There was a bright moon hanging in the sky. The sound of waves did not seem noisy, but instead made the dock appear quieter.
Just under this quiet and peaceful moonlight, a figure in a black robe stood quietly on the casually stacked cargo box.
Horn's heart sank, knowing that something was wrong. He recognized this guy, it was Frost wizard Valos, and immediately reached out to stop everyone: "Stop, he got one step ahead of us."
The other party arrived first, and the plan to block people's sneak attack had already died before it even started.
Valos also saw the visitor. He hid his face in the shadow and smiled softly: "I knew that there are smart people among you. Now it seems that this smart person is you, young man?"
He looked at Horn.
"What do you want?" Horn was shocked. The mage was too calm and seemed to be sure to win.
"I didn't want to do anything. I just wanted to find a place to recuperate and recover my body, but you were chasing me and hiding me. Do you know how painful I was in those days? I didn't take anything or medicine. The wound on my back was bleeding and pushenized. The maggots kept crawling on my back. I would never forget the numb and itchy feeling in my life. And all of this is thanks to you."
Valos's voice was very gentle, sounding like a normal conversation, but what he said made people feel cold in his heart, and everyone present felt a strong hatred in his heart.
Horn was frightened to hear that there were only ten people coming this time, among which Lu Yisha was the strongest, but none of them had the ability to fight magic head-on. So if you want to kill this magician, there was only one stupid way, which was to exchange it for life, and it might not be successful.
This is not worth it, very not worth it!
Horn whispered: "We can't fight hard with this mage. The only option now is to retreat."
These people have all drunk the essence of life and have made rapid progress recently. If the opponent is a warrior or something, even if the gap is huge, then I will definitely work hard tonight.
But the opponent is a mysterious magician. Most of them don't know how to deal with the magician's magic. The fear of the unknown in their hearts is enough to knock them down.
Everyone had no objection to Horn's words and immediately began to slowly retreat.
"Why, you want to run away? What a wise choice. You young man is very conscious of the times, but... since you are here, stay all of them and taste my new power!"
With this sentence, an ice hockey wrapped in black smoke appeared in the man's hand, and it kept spinning. From time to time, dark lightning appeared, which was extremely terrifying.
"Corrosive ice hockey!" Valos shouted softly, and the ice hockey flew towards Horn, at an extreme speed.
If it were an ordinary person, it would definitely be over this time, but Horn had dealt with the mage twice and had some experience in dealing with it. As soon as he saw the opponent's hands move, he had already pounced behind a pile of cargo boxes before the spell attacked. At the same time, he shouted: "Distribute! Scatter and retreat!"
Before he finished speaking, there was a "boom". The ice hockey hit the cargo box where he was hiding, and then the cargo box began to emit black gas, becoming transparent, and finally it became like the ice melting, forming a pool of water.
"…..." If this hits people, how can there be life?
Seeing that Valos was about to cast a second spell, Lu Yisha, who was closest to Horn, reached out to touch the weapon chain at her waist, took out two flying knives, and swung her hand, and the flying knives turned into two cold stars and flew towards Valos's vital points.
"School!" An ice barrier appeared on Valos, which was also black in flames, easily blocking the flying knife.
Lu Yisha had no hope of killing him. She took advantage of Valos's spell to protect herself and immediately jumped out, grabbed Horn's arm, and ran away quickly with him.
Horn has been practicing hard these days, and he has the belt given by Viana, so although his level is not as high as Lu Yisha, his endurance and strength are not much worse, so he did not become a drag on Lu Yisha. The two ran very fast.
Behind him, there was another explosion of frost spells, and there was a shrill scream, and someone was hit by the spell.
Horn was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he had no choice but to do anything. His only comfort was that both Harrington and the wild wolf had successfully escaped, and these two guys were running ahead of them.
"You wait! Wait! I will take revenge, find you one by one, torture you until death!" The terrifying roar of the mage came from behind.
Everyone was not able to care about these things, so they just ran hard. I don’t know how long they had been running. Anyway, they were running all the way. When they came to their senses, they kept running from the dock area to the headquarters of the mercenary group in the commercial area!
When everyone came back here, they were a little calm, but they were still scared.
"The mage is really terrible!"
"I never want to deal with a mage in my life."
"... Three people are missing." The last sentence was said by Lu Yisha. The yard immediately became quiet and everyone was silent. They all knew the ending of these three people.
After a long time, the wild wolf spoke: "The magician said he was coming to seek revenge on us."
"Maybe it's just a harsh word." Harrington hesitated, he couldn't figure it out.
"I don't look like it." Horn shook his head: "This mage has gone to extremes and his mind has been completely distorted. I guess he will do this."
"What should I do?"
"We have to hide for a moment, at least wait for Rollin to come back." Horn was very distressed. He knew the root of such a embarrassment tonight, that is, their team did not have a powerful figure who could calm the scene.
Such a team can deal with ordinary situations, but if they face adversity, they will immediately scatter. Horn knew this, but he chose to retreat just now.
Because he knew that no one of them had enough force and prestige to conquer others. Lu Yisha couldn't do it, and he couldn't do it.
Just now, even if he wanted to rush up and fight Valos to the death, no one would be willing to die with him.
But Luo Lin seemed to be able to do this easily. Luo Lin was not very powerful when he fought against the Smoldier, but the three of them were both sacrificed their lives, and even the wild wolf who cherished his life the most was desperate.
At this moment, Horn felt the gap between himself and Rollin. Their minds might be comparable, but he lacked the courage that people involuntarily convinced.
Now he can only hope that Rollin can come back soon.
‘Get get it’
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from outside the door. The sound sounded very heavy, which was obviously different from the slow horse pulling the cart. Then there was a 'boom' sound, as if the knight on the horse's back had dismounted, and everyone felt the ground sinking slightly.
Just as he was surprised, the door of the yard of the Mercenary Group was pushed open, and a tall steel warrior strode in, followed by a cheerful laugh that seemed to summon the sun.
