It was a summer night in the year 748 of the Aramaic calendar.
A tributary state of the Haider Empire, the Kingdom of Silk, and Mulberry Garden.
For an empire that spans the north and south of the Midi Equator, the Kingdom of Silk is located in a hilly area in the north. Therefore, even in summer, the climate is still cooler and not as hot as in the plains. This is what the Kingdom of Silk can grow.
Basis for mulberry and silkworm rearing.
The Mulberry Garden was the place where mulberry trees were planted when the Kingdom of Silk was first established. All processes for making silk were also concentrated in nearby houses.
But so far, with almost all the people in the country of silk growing mulberry, raising silkworms and reeling silk, mulberry gardens have become concentrated processing areas for weaving raw silk into cloth. A small area is used for other operations, including weaving.
Dyeing cloth and tailoring it into clothes.
Today, there is a large closed room in the mulberry garden, and celebrations are in full swing inside. Beside it are several huge machines that are obviously not in line with the painting style of the Kingdom of Silk, connected to pipes as thick as arms, used to transport magic.
power.
But the machine is not running now, and everyone is celebrating around a square handkerchief that has just been woven with flowers, birds, wind and moon patterns on it.
Some of the people celebrating were wearing Hanfu, and some were wearing kimonos. The blood of the Kingdom of Silk has actually been integrated into the part of the land that belongs to the land, but in terms of tradition, there are still many people who insist on what their ancestors passed down.
Among such a group of people who had a very different style from those in Midland, there were three people dressed as magicians standing by the wall, quietly watching the celebrations of others.
The appearance of the three of them is not very similar, but they are indeed three brothers. The most powerful one is the eldest, whose roused muscles bulge out the already very large robe. If it were not for the small shawl used by magicians,
There are two silver threads on his chest, and no one would doubt that he is a berserker.
The other brother is not as tall as the eldest brother, but he is also a muscular figure. He also has a magician's shawl and two silver threads, but the iron staff in his hand is not so much a magic staff, and may be used to knock people directly.
, the damage will be relatively high.
The youngest is the third child. Compared with the two eldest brothers, this younger brother looks more normal. The only thing that stands out is that the magician’s shawl on his body is tied with golden thread. This means that he is officially
A magician, not an apprentice of Silver Spike.
The common feature of the three brothers is that their skin seems to have been in a dry state for a long time, and is very dry and cracked. They also have one to three horns on their heads, which is an obvious abyssal feature.
If one of the parents of a person with such characteristics is not a demon, then they were polluted by extremely high concentrations of abyssal aura when they were in the womb, or during the most important growth period of their childhood.
The three brothers could not confirm the situation of the former, because they had never seen a creature that looked like their 'parents' since they were sensible.
The latter is perfectly normal for children like them who are born on the streets. In addition to the abyssal aura brought by magic weapons, such miasma will also naturally occur in some dark, dark and dirty corners, contaminating the people living in it.
child.
The three people are the three brothers Bobosha, Boboluo and Bobosha. They will appear here for a sum of money, an amount of money that is so large that they have never seen it.
But it's hard to get such money. At least the people from the Kingdom of Silk looked at the three brothers in a way that couldn't be called friendly.
Among the three brothers, the youngest Bobosha has always been the leader. After drinking a few glasses of white wine, which had no other sensation except spicy food, he took his two eldest brothers and walked outside to the courtyard.
Compared to the hot atmosphere inside the house, the house was sealed very well in order to keep it secret, so people outside could not detect the movement inside the house. Moreover, Midi did not have the habit of lighting street lamps, so the three brothers just walked around like this.
In a dark environment.
Suddenly Poposa, who was taking the lead, stopped walking. He looked up and looked at the corner that was as black as thick ink, completely untouched by moonlight and starlight. He said: "Ezio, it's you. Mr. finally sent you to kill us.
Well. No need to hide, come out."
Bobosha said so, but no one came out of the dark corner, and there was no movement at all.
After a while, the eldest brother Bobosha said: "Brother, do you really think that Mr. will send Ezio to kill us? These days, you will say such a sentence almost every few days when there are few people. In fact, what do you mean?
I haven’t discovered it either.”
Bobosha breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Ezio is someone who has a way to discuss how to hide himself with Sister Kaya and play hide-and-seek with his husband. Maybe you don't know, even the demon prince Azad has done it before
I taught him. No matter how much I value him..."
"No, no, no! Azad is not teaching me, he is serious about killing me. It is not easy to escape from him."
The voice that interrupted Bobosha was a young man hiding in the darkness. Unlike what most people think, he was wearing all black night clothes. Instead, he was wearing eye-catching white-soled trousers with red lines and calfskin boots.
, put on a single shawl and a hood that almost covered his face.
But for such a big living person, no one noticed his existence until he took the initiative to show up and made a sound.
Ezio put down his hood, revealing his youthful face, but with a somewhat sophisticated look in his eyes, looking at the 'old friends' in front of him. "When you called me by name at the beginning, I really
I thought you had discovered it. If Boss Xia hadn't said it, I wouldn't have thought it was just a little trick to deceive people. Really, I almost fell for it."
Seeing the person coming, the three brothers said slightly bitterly: "Sir, did you really ask you to come and kill us?"
Ezio shook his head and said: "The old man won't care about this kind of thing. Although he is quite disappointed with what you did, it's not to the extent of assigning us to hunt you down. If you really want to do it, he will definitely do it."
You can do it yourself and don’t borrow others’ hands.”
Although Ezio denied the first question, Poposa still did not relax his vigilance. He knew very well how talented this gifted boy was. He asked: "Then the reason why you are here..."
?”
"Although the old man didn't say anything, you three have to give us an explanation for betraying the Brotherhood." Ezio moved his hands slightly away from his body and placed them on both sides of his thighs. He didn't seem to be carrying any weapons.
, but this does not mean that he is not dangerous at all.
Even people like Poposha and Popolo, who seemed much stronger than Ezio, vigilantly added a full set of auxiliary magic to themselves in an instant. They also took out a hand crossbow from under their robes and raised it.
Point to the person coming.
】
The hand crossbow is only about the size of a palm, about the length of a finger, and the handle takes up most of the volume. Although the short crossbow arm does not bring much damage and range, the magic effect attached to the crossbow is
It is better to increase the power of this hand crossbow to normal level.
And in order to enhance the lethality, the crossbow must be quenched with poison. In order to deal with those monsters with strong vitality, all poisons used to quench weapons are of the blood-sealing throat level. The kind of poison that can just paralyze people.
The poison is worse than pepper.
Facing the hand crossbow, Ezio raised his hands exaggeratedly and took a few steps back. He said, "Hey, brother, relax. You should know that without tracking arrow magic, it will have no effect on me."
"How do you know we don't have one on our crossbow? Even if it really doesn't, can't I add an additional one?" Bobosha, the only one who didn't lift the crossbow, said as he raised the magic wand in his hand to his chest.
Ezio glanced at the crossbows in the hands of the two brothers, and said: "If you are using special products, then I dare not say. But the things in the big man's hands are clearly mass products made by the Technology Guild. You
Even if it can be modified, there is not much room for modification, and tracking arrows are absolutely impossible to add. Of course you can use the magic of tracking arrows now, and then you have to see who can move faster."
"Oh, is there no room for negotiation?" Bobosha asked with the last bit of luck in his heart.
"Go and talk to the people you hurt when you ran away. If they are willing to forgive you, that's fine with me. Oh, by the way, it seems that a few brothers and sisters have died. Then you may have to wait until you die.
Ask them if they are willing to forgive you. If there really is an afterlife..."
As soon as the words of regret were broken, it was like a signal to start a war. Two big men fired crossbows at the same time!
The crossbow fired flatly missed and flew into the air without any surprise. Ezio, who instantly disappeared from the eyes of the three brothers, jumped out from the darkness on the side like a ghost. The second child, Popolo, was the first to bear the brunt.
It's just that at this time, Popolo had no time to cast other magic besides activating the existing magic protection effect.
Compared with warriors in speed, most magicians would still be a beat slower, so they had to pick up close weapons to defend themselves. For Popolo, it was the iron staff in his hand.
In this situation where there is no decisive difference in technical proficiency and physical fitness, the quality of the weapon becomes the key to victory or defeat.
The iron staff was cut off! The dagger that was only slightly longer than a palm protruded from the sleeve of Ezio's left arm, ignoring the blockage of the magic shield, and stabbed into Popolo's neck neatly.
As the hidden sword was drawn out, a cloud of blood sprayed into the sky. Popolo's eyes were filled with helplessness, and he pressed his neck where blood was spurting out with one hand. The magic props used for healing on his body were taking effect, but those props could
Such a serious injury cannot be cured.
Of course, the two brothers next to him couldn't stand still, but they didn't try to save their brothers, but instead moved towards Ezio to encircle him.
If the pursuers are not dealt with first, any rescue operation may be interrupted. So Boboxia, the strongest, roared, threw away the unstrung hand crossbow, and held a flail from nowhere in his other hand.
Without much preparation, he threw the flail at Ezio's face!
Bobosha's reaction was equally quick. Having reached the level of a magician, he was not just an academic magician who had learned the seventy-two apprentice-level magics of the three rings. He was born on the street, but he had been working towards instant magic from the beginning.
Directional research.
Although he is not up to the level of a certain magician who can use subdimensional towers as the foundation and programming language as a means to cast magic with just a thought, Bobosha's combat routines are also quite advanced.
In a very short period of time when his second brother was attacked, Bobosha not only gave himself three more layers of shields, but also released two attack magics, one fire and one wind. He even chased the fireball and wind blade to kill Ezio.
Go. Brutal charging is performed in the process of taking a long step forward!
