In today's Erathia, the number and level of mages can no longer be compared with the level before the "Ice Doomsday". Not to mention the ordinary commoners of the kingdom, even the smaller knights, local nobles such as Lord, I am afraid that after all,
It was rare in his life to see a mage, let alone see real magic.
Therefore, when the huge fireball exploded in front of him and mercilessly devoured his two men, including the scar-faced man, and burned them to ashes, Zorenzuo's body and mind were involuntarily filled with fear.
Desperate thieves can fight to the death without fear of licking blood from the blade of a knife, but when faced with magical magic with supernatural power, most people will still instinctively feel timid and frightened in their hearts.
But they didn't know that the orange flame that swallowed up the two thieves was actually produced by an unqualified magic item, and this item turned out to be Moriarty's use of the magic items acquired from Bracada.
It was a game work that came after disassembling the equipment that had been basically scrapped and assembled it experimentally according to the instructions in "Basic Alchemy Guide". However, it is such a small fireball launcher that can only play a one-time role, and it can still be easily put together.
Two lives were sent to hell.
However, in just the blink of an eye, Zorenzuo forced himself to recover. Now that he has stepped into the door of Shell Villa and killed the servants of the Ensberg family, there is nothing more difficult for the gamblers who are on the gambling table.
There is no way out.
"Charge... rush in... don't give that person time to cast the spell a second time!" Instantly, a certain passage in Fox's letter flashed through Zorenzuo's mind, and he immediately woke up, shouting and raising his sword to split the remaining fire.
Flow, rushed into the study.
At this time, the other two men were also awakened by Zuolunzuo's shouts. Although they were still frightened, they had to bravely step over the corpses of their companions that had turned into charcoal, and rushed into the room with the leader.
Moriarty stood at the far end of the study, and the night wind blew in through the window behind it, making the candlelight on the table dim and bright.
Seeing Zorenzuo and his two accomplices, who had a ferocious face but deep fear in their eyes, rush into the study through the thin curtain of fire, Moriarty smiled coldly.
Coincidentally, at this time, the low sound of chanting curses also came to an end in the study room.
Moriarty gently raised his left hand, stretched out his index finger, and pointed it at the leader Zoron Zuo. At the same moment, a ball of silver light condensed on his fingertips.
"go."
Before the three people on the opposite side had any time to react, Moriarty shouted, and a silver magic arrow flew out from his fingertips, hitting Zoren Zuo's chest in the blink of an eye.
"ah!"
Zorenzuo had no room to dodge, and was directly shot through the lungs by the silver arrow, vomiting blood and passed out.
"Boss!"
The two people behind saw Zuo Lunzuo being hit by a ray of silver light and falling in a pool of blood. They were immediately frightened and hurriedly stepped forward to help him. However, no matter how they called, Zuo Lunzuo had no response.
Blood foam kept coming out of the wound on his chest, like a fountain.
"escape!"
Seeing that Zoren's life and death were unknown, and that Moriarty across from him seemed to be making some moves, the two of them looked at each other, then suddenly shouted together, turned around and fled out of the study.
Looking at the two people fleeing in panic, Moriarty couldn't help but let out a long breath.
To be honest, if the remaining two people are not swayed by fear, but continue to fight bravely, Moriarty will have no choice but to climb out of the window behind him and go to the roof to fight with the enemy to the death. However, those two
After all, we are not professional killers or soldiers. When we see our leader faint and his companions die, our morale will collapse in an instant.
Looking at Zorenzuo who was lying at the door of the study, his breath gradually weakening, and the two corpses with some embers left outside the door, Moriarty sighed. Then, he opened the closet to the side, and Moriarty opened it.
He drew out a fine steel dagger, then quickly walked to the unconscious Zoren Zuo, and stabbed his neck with the sword. Immediately, Zoren Zuo twisted in pain several times, and died. Then, Moriarty
After a few steps, I came to the window on the other side of the study and looked out, which was facing the direction going down the mountain.
Under the bright moonlight, there were indeed two figures running wildly down the winding mountain road, one behind the other.
Moriarty put down the steel sword in his hand, fixed his gaze on the figure behind him, and started casting spells again.
"Whoosh!"
Soon, another magic arrow penetrated the darkness of the night and accurately hit the target's back. A shrill scream immediately broke the tranquility of the night, and the figure behind him fell to the mountain road with a "snap", directly
die.
"There is only one left... What a pity..." Moriarty shook his head as he looked at the last person who was about to accelerate into the shadows of the mountain forest.
But at this moment, there was a clear and crisp sound of a bowstring, and a sharp crossbow arrow as sharp as a viper's fang whizzed out of the darkness. With the howl of hell and the note of death, it was precise.
It was shot extremely hard from the back of the neck of the last fugitive, and then with the huge inertial force, it nailed the body to the end of the mountain road.
"That's..." Moriarty's pupils shrank slightly, and a name flashed through his mind.
"It seems that you are not a useless young nobleman." At this time, a black figure walked out of the darkness behind Shell Villa, walked leisurely to the second floor window, raised his head, and looked indifferently at Mori above.
Artie was holding a military-made long crossbow in her hand.
"Long time no see, White." Moriarty looked at the uninvited guest and suddenly laughed: "Want to come in for a drink?"
"Okay, I hope the wine here is not as light as water like the one at Windsor Castle." Facing Moriarty's gaze, White nodded lukewarmly, put away his crossbow, and stepped into the blood-soaked shell.
villa.
A few days later, when the news that "Sir Moriarty Ensborg was attacked at Shell Villa and his life or death is unknown" spread throughout the county, including Viscount Salk, Lord Rosser, Lord Herring, and even Viscount McLellan
All the high-ranking Kent aristocrats including him were furious. Of course, the most angry among them was Baron Ensberg.
However, well-informed sources revealed that the Moriarty attack was completely different in nature from the previous burglary invasion, and seemed to be carried out by insiders in Kent County. Moreover, on the five corpses of thieves found at the scene,
provided some key evidence.
Just yesterday, Viscount Salk and Viscount McLellan held a closed-door meeting at Windsor Castle. In addition to Baron Ensborg, Lord Rosser, and Lord Herring, the participants were also
Lord Luo Yanta is very intriguing. After the meeting, according to the description of a steward in Windsor Castle who did not want to be named, Lord Luo Yanta's face was gray and gray when he walked out of the conference room, almost like a dead person. What's more coincidental.
Unexpectedly, on the night when Lord Luo Yanta hurried back to Rheinburg, the "bad news" came out that Fox Luo Yanta died suddenly of illness. At the same time, Harris, the old servant who had been serving Fox, also died of the same infection.
The disease soon followed Fox's death.
The attack on Moriarty, Fox's death, and the accidents of Kent's two "tragic figures of the year" undoubtedly added a strong color to the whole incident, and also provided countless information and information for conspiracy theorists to analyze.
evidence.
But no matter what, on the surface, the Kent aristocrats are as "unity" and "fraternity" as ever. And at the initiative of the two viscounts, all the families united to issue a statement condemning the despicable behavior of thieves.
statement, and is determined to make an unswerving crackdown on violent activities in the county.
However, all of this has nothing to do with Moriarty. Although it is slightly ahead of schedule, overall Moriarty has successfully started his journey of learning magic.
Without any further help from his family, Moriarty left his temporary residence in Art Town early one morning without saying goodbye, and followed a caravan named "Doro" on his journey.
He embarked on a journey south. Accompanying him was White, who had become Moriarty's "follower".
Kent and Bracada are thousands of miles apart. A one-way trip at a normal caravan speed takes one to two months. On the way, you have to pass Fort Ford and cross the dangerous hurricane wilderness.
, to finally arrive. Therefore, most lonely travelers choose to join a caravan and go on the road together. Although, travelers need to pay a certain amount of money as a "hitchhiking" fee, but compared with the various dangers on the way,
It's worth it in the end.
The Doro caravan that Moriarty chose is a caravan affiliated with "Doro Angela", a medium-sized chamber of commerce headquartered in the north of the kingdom.
Unlike several caravans of the Ensberg family, the Doro caravan is a completely neutral caravan and has no master-servant relationship with the nobles in Kent County. It has always been low-key and has a good reputation, so Moriarty has
I will eventually choose this caravan as my "long-distance bus".
Of course, Moriarty concealed his identity when entering the caravan. However, there was a note from Hugo, the head butler of the Ensberg family, as a guarantee, and Moriarty was willing to pay two hundred gold coins for himself and his companions.
, Franklin, the steward of Doro's caravan, was quite happy to accept these two temporary travelers, and assigned a half-worn carriage to Moriarty.
After taking off his gorgeous aristocratic clothes, Moriarty wore soft armor inside and an old black robe on the outside. He looked no different from an ordinary young adventurer. On the contrary, White, although he was also wearing ordinary clothes,
Although he wears a robe, his long military career has already left a clear mark on this young man. Fortunately, the caravan sometimes hires retired Kingdom soldiers as bodyguards, so White's presence is not so conspicuous.
On the first night after leaving Yate Town, the caravan camped outside a small farm. Because there were so many people in the caravan, there was not enough room for everyone to stay overnight if they wanted to enter the farm. Therefore, the caravan camped out in the village as usual.
Camping outside by campfire.
After a brief discussion with Steward Franklin, Moriarty took out three gold coins and bought an adult domestic pig from the village as an extra meal for the caravan tonight. This thoughtful move was immediately recognized.
More than a hundred people from all over the caravan cheered and praised enthusiastically. Although not everyone is qualified to eat a bite of sweet pork, at least a bowl of fragrant broth is always guaranteed. And this is a good reward after a hard day's work.
For the bottom members of the caravan, it is a rare enjoyment.
