Chapter 79: The Mage's Terror (Part 2)
Chapter 79: The Horror of the Mage (Part 2)
Rex frowned. The war was still far away from Qin Yin, so why did a powerful thieves appear? The more than 20 knights in front of him were not weak. The number of thieves who could chase them was at least over 100, and there must be a large number of sword masters among them.
The thieves are not an army, they must reach a certain scale in order to force these knights to run wildly.
"you!"
Seeing that his subordinates were angry, the Knight commander grabbed him and said to Salin's direction: "Master, I'm so rude, I'm really sorry."
Rex knew clearly that this knight commander was testing his subordinates' lives. If Salin was angry, the knight commander might not offend Salin, but simply threw his subordinates over and let Salin vent his anger. His decisiveness was pretty good, but unfortunately he didn't pay much attention to his subordinates' lives, which Rex hated extremely.
The people in the store were already panicked, and the leader of the knight said to the boss: "Find all the guests to be safe and hide. Send someone to take my people to block the door behind. Don't worry, the thieves cannot set fire now. If you have any losses, I will compensate you."
The more polite he said, the more awkward Rex sounded.
Neris suddenly said to Salin: "Master, that guy was very rude just now. Do you want me to kill him and vent your anger?"
Her voice was not loud or small, just enough for everyone to hear it.
Salin smiled and said, "How could I be angry? There are people like this all over the street. You can eat well."
The answers between the master and servant were enough to make people furious. The knight commander just thought that he didn't hear it and endured it directly. He was knowledgeable and knew that Salin was probably not a low-level mage. The man and three women sat there, and naturally developed a momentum that made people not want to get close to it.
What attracted him even more attention was that a woman with her back was facing her back and was carrying a huge stick behind her back. Women who could use heavy weapons should not be provoked.
Diners stood up one after another, and the merchants did not dare to ask the mercenaries to investigate the destruction of the carriage. Dozens of people were led to the back room by the waiter to hide. There were more than a dozen windows in the hall, and arrows might be shot in in a while, affecting the fish in the pond.
The Knight Commander waited for his subordinates to deal with his companions' arrow wounds and walked towards Salin and others.
"Master Master."
"Yeah." Salin agreed, picked up the tea cup, and took a sip of the tea calmly.
"I am Black, an intermediate swordsman at Forest Trading Company. Can you help us fight back thieves? Forest Trading Company is willing to pay the same price." The Knight Commander was respectful. He had a thin face and didn't look so honest.
Rex wanted to speak, and Salin spoke first: "I am in business with the Clyde family. If you want me to help, the same price is not enough."
He answered, listening with his ears in his ears. The sound of horse hooves in the distance was gradually becoming clear, about two miles away. In the rain, his perception was amplified again, but he did not try to observe the thieves chasing.
"Master, the enemy is a thief, you have an obligation..."
"Sorry." Salin interrupted the Knight Commander and said indifferently: "I am not Qin Yin, neither of them. I didn't want to say that, so you will have to pay four times the price."
As Salin said, he took out a scroll and placed it on the table. The Knight Commander had originally surged his blood and almost had the urge to turn against him. Since this young mage was not Qin Yin's, he didn't have to be too polite. But when he saw Salin's scroll, he immediately calmed down.
The scroll of low-level magic is easy to identify. He has seen it many times, and the scroll that Salin took out is obviously different. The one that tied the scroll is a leather rope with magic patterns. The dark silver scroll means that an intermediate magic is stored here.
"How much?"
The aura of the knight commander was completely suppressed by Salin. Salin didn't even raise his eyelids, looked at the scroll on the table and said, "Ten thousand gold coins."
The Knight Commander calmed down, stared at Salin, and said, "Master, although I should respect you, please don't make such jokes."
Salin shook his head and said, "I can wait until the thief is done and then talk to the thief, and maybe I can gain more."
Now even Rex has come to his senses. Although the thieves are cruel, they will not chase and kill more than twenty swordsmen. After attacking the caravan, the thieves usually disperse immediately to avoid being targeted by the noble army. Unless there is something particularly important on these twenty swordsmen, the thieves will be allowed to chase and kill a swordsman from a large business on this road regardless of taboos.
You should know that Forest Trading belongs to the Williams family. This family is like the Clyde family, with a huge foundation. Once they annoy them, the thieves will be destroyed, unless they are determined to withdraw from Qin Yin and go to another place to make a living.
Salin is not quarreling, he doesn't want to be used as a fool.
There are rules for hiring mercenaries. The amount of your goods is worth, you have to pay the corresponding reward. Salin is a mage, and it is even more expensive when hiring. What's even more annoying is that this intermediate swordsman of the Williams family also tries to use Qin Yin's law to restrain Salin and let Salin take action for free.
Salin asked for a price all over the place, and the intermediate swordsman pretended to be angry. In fact, the things he protected were probably worth much more than this ten thousand gold coins, otherwise he would not have come to ask Salin, a guy who looked like a white-robed mage.
The face of the knight commander changed drastically. He even thought about taking action. Khalin was probably a great magician and he dared not take risks. Moreover, the woman with a stick on her back had a sharp weapon on her legs, which looked like a Caucasian weapon.
The sound of war horses neighing came from outside the yard. The Knight Commander secretly regretted that he had known that this young mage was so smart that he would not have come to provoke him. Now the mage is probably angry, so he just waited for them to be killed by the thieves and then picked up the bargain. As long as it was not the mage who attacked them, the young mage would not even have to be punished by Qin Yin's law.
"Ten thousand gold coins, I'm responsible for scaring away the thieves. Twenty thousand gold coins, I'm responsible for killing them all. The last chance is, they're here." Salin put away the magic scroll, and he had already judged the situation outside the courtyard wall. There were forty-two fast horses, and the worst thief was also a high-level swordsman.
In this rainy weather, Salin is like a tiger with wings. He doesn't have to waste too much mental power to judge the strength of the enemy within hundreds of meters.
There is no sword saint or magician among the enemies. Even though there are a little more people, Salin is still very sure to catch them all in one place.
"I didn't bring that much!" The Knight Commander was anxious. He saw that Salin really wanted to let go. If he mentioned something else, the mage might have negotiated terms with the thief. Damn magicians would not respect any laws at all!
"That man's carrying seemed to be a box containing a magic core. I don't mind you pay with a magic core." Salin pointed to the box behind a knight and said with a smile. He wanted to know what goods the Forest Trading Company was carrying, but if it was really extorted, Rex would look down on him.
"Okay, I promise you." The Knight Commander knew that if he fought with the thief, there would probably be only a few more than 20 people around him. He also had the responsibility for the news of the goods leaked this time. No matter how dead people were, he could not go back to his family to explain it.
Bang!
The thieves outside were breaking the door with heavy weapons, and deep cracks appeared in the door.
"You seem to have said that you will be responsible for compensation for the losses in this store, right?" Salin was not anxious at all. It would be better to let the thief rush into the yard. If you do it yourself, you can save the thief from escaping and chasing them.
"Yes." The Knight Commander gritted his teeth and replied. If you wait any longer, there will be thieves who will climb over the wall of the courtyard and use up all the crossbows on his side.
Rex thought that Salin was so happy that she was teasing the intermediate swordsman. However, she also found that Salin had much more keenness when walking outside. She was good at analyzing political and military things, and Salin was more sensitive to this kind of life that belonged to mercenaries.
"Okay, I hope you don't regret it." Salin said, standing up. Sika followed him and walked into the yard.
The rain connected the sky, and Salin released a mutated water-patterned shield that wrapped around her body, but did not bless Shika. Although Shika did not practice sword energy, her battle will also affect her after blessing magic.
Salin came to the gate of the courtyard and stood there waiting. All the swordsmen of the Forest Trading Company dispersed and looked at the young mage nervously.
Click!
A sharp sword energy split the door, and the carriage behind the door was also chopped off a corner, and a huge hole was revealed on the door, and behind the hole was a thief holding a heavy sword. Salin stood there quietly. This thief who broke the door was the strongest among all the thieves. He was not in a hurry to take action, but the result was the same anyway.
There was another loud bang. The thief who had broken the door saw the carriage behind the door and attacked with all his strength. This time the carriage was completely shattered by his heavy sword. The thief's giant sword raised and the person rushed in.
The swordsmen from the Forest Store were well designed. When the thieves outside saw the narrow entrance, they all jumped off the horse and flocked in.
Salin raised her hand, and the rain above his head seemed to stop, and the temperature in the air dropped rapidly. Rex was no longer surprised when he saw this scene. Salin gave her too many surprises, and now he used a rare skill.
Countless ice cones condensed in the sky and shot towards the thieves on the ground. The inconspicuous first-level magic not only advanced in Salin's hands, but also caused huge changes. Rex's perception swept and counted the number of ice cones.
One thousand,080 ice cones, even more violent than heavy rain, enveloped all the thieves. This attack had reached the limit of the great magician's control elements. Each ice cone technique produced thirty-six ice cones. Salin prepared thirty-six ice cones in one second to release them at the same time. This was no longer something that could be consumed by magic strings.
Salin mobilized the water elements between heaven and earth and poured an ice cone rain. Almost no great magician would go back to study low-level magic after advancing. Salin did this and did it perfectly. In this heavy rain, he exerted the greatest power of a level four mage.
