Jia Zhengjin didn't quite agree with Tina's statement, but he also respected her.
Tina herself is very soft-hearted. It is not easy to kill several enemy mercenaries with magic like she does now.
As a husband, Jia Zhengjin doesn't force her. Maybe she will change slowly over time.
"Enter the city!" After the mercenaries escaped, he ordered to continue moving forward.
Atticus breathed a sigh of relief and was glad that he was lucky enough to encounter this team. If it were the same mercenary team as before, the whole army might have been wiped out just now. The best result would be to protect himself and escape in a hurry, but he would never be able to enter the city.
.
After the group of mercenaries were repulsed, there were no more obstacles on the road.
Obviously the other party also knows that Jia Zhengjin and the others are not easy to mess with. A magician has defeated so many people. How can the others fight back?
The carriage successfully arrived at the city gate along the road and passed the checkpoint into the city.
They were not in a hurry to go to the palace, after all, they must have rested in the middle of the night.
The car arrived at the mercenary union, and Atticus handed over the badges for the three mercenaries who died on the road, canceling their identities.
If these three mercenaries have family members, the mercenary union staff will proactively contact them and return the property that these three people have stored in the union.
After doing this, inform the palace guard that Prince Atticus has arrived successfully and is temporarily staying at a hotel in the city.
The whole team booked a room in the hotel to check in and rest.
Atticus was completely relieved, feeling that everything would be fine once he entered the city, so he fell asleep, expecting to see the king immediately when he woke up the next day.
Jia Zhengjin was not so optimistic. The queen's forces would definitely not give up, and they must be well aware of their news. He would probably take action before dawn, not wanting Atticas to meet the king and his son.
Sure enough, after resting in the hotel until around midnight, Aipal came over to wake up Jia Zhengjin.
"How's it going?" Because Aipal didn't need sleep, Jia Zhengjin deliberately asked her to stay awake all night and pay attention to the situation around the hotel. When she woke him up, he asked softly after opening the door.
"I sense a magical creature approaching, and I'm afraid the target is Atticas." Aipal replied softly, "It should be there soon."
"Then let's wait and see what happens!" Jia Zhengjin nodded and asked Aipal to hide in the room and keep silent.
Because there were no lights, it was dark inside the hotel. Except for the lights at the registration desk, there was no light in other rooms.
The staff at the registration desk were drowsy. Although it was open four hours a day, there were basically no customers at this time.
A black shadow appeared at the door without anyone noticing, slipped in quietly along the crack of the door, and moved close to the ground.
The appearance is humanoid, just like the silhouette of a normal person under light.
It’s just that this shadow is alive and does not require light to appear.
It passed through the lobby silently, without alerting the hotel staff, and quietly climbed up the stairs, going up the steps like a liquid.
After arriving upstairs, he went to Atticus' room without hesitation, looked up at the house number, and slipped in along the crack in the door.
Atticus was sleeping soundly, snoring from time to time, and was not aware of anything strange appearing in the room.
In the darkness, the shadow moved to the bedside, stood up like a human being, and strangled Atticas's neck with his dark left hand. At the same time, a sharp shadow emerged from his right hand, as if he was holding a knife.
Aiming at Atticus' heart, he stabbed him hard.
"Instant flash thrust!" At this moment, a fully armed Jia Zhengjin suddenly flashed behind him, and his trident penetrated the shadow directly.
The shadow turned into black mist and disappeared the moment it was pierced, as if it had never existed.
"Ahem~" Atticas was pinched so hard that he woke up. The first time he saw the black shadow trying to stab him to death, he also saw it suddenly disappear, and behind him Jia Zhengjin didn't know when he appeared.
Room, "What's going on..."
Before he could finish asking, the dissipated black mist condensed into a human shape on the other side of the bed, stabbing Atticas with lightning speed.
"Block and counterattack!" Jia Zhengjin rushed over to block the attack and thrust out with a sharp halberd.
The black shadow was penetrated again and turned into black mist and dispersed.
"Get up quickly and go to the corridor!" Jia Zhengjin looked around cautiously and reminded Atticus at the same time.
"Okay, okay..." Atticus was drowsily asleep. He was frightened by the scene just now and woke up. He hurriedly ran out in his pajamas.
When he came to the door, the black shadow appeared again and rushed towards him.
"Cross cut!" Jia Zhengjin quickly raised his trident and made a cross, and the energy shot out quickly, scattering the black shadow again.
The frightened Atticas opened the door in panic and rushed outside. He found Aipal standing in the corridor and ran behind her: "Help me!"
He has never seen Aipal's strength, but he also knows that everyone in this team cannot be underestimated.
As expected, the black shadow chased him outside, and seemed to be unkillable. He condensed into a human form again and pounced on Atticus again.
Jia Zhengjin chased him into the corridor, saw Atticas hiding behind Aipal, and then looked at the black shadow.
When Atticus was not awake, he could stab with Shunli. But now that he was looking with his eyes open, any space magic might reveal his identity, so he rushed forward and shouted: "Aipal, it's up to you!
"
"Well!" Aipal didn't take the black shadow into his eyes at all. After all, she is a god, not to mention a being who possesses the power of both the God of Love and the God of Demons?
When the black shadow pounced on Atticas, the target man hid behind Aipal and trembled.
But Aipal didn't react at all. It wasn't until the black shadow fell in front of him that he raised his right hand and grabbed it out.
Logically speaking, even the trident can be dispersed when it penetrates it, and then re-condensed into a ball. The black shadow should not be caught because it is so weird.
But when Aipal caught the black shadow, he easily threw it to the ground. At the same time, a burst of white light emitted from his hand, which instantly destroyed the black shadow, leaving only a humanoid ashes on the ground.
Jia Zhengjin rushed to her and looked down at the ashes: "Is it solved?"
"Yeah!" Aipal nodded.
"What the hell is this?"
"Shadow Curse, sixth-level dark magic." Aipal replied, "It can create a shadow that will not be destroyed and kill the cursed target. However, the range is limited, and the caster must be within 5
Kilometers of local control.”
"In other words, the caster is still around?" Jia Zhengjin turned around and wanted to go out and arrest him.
Although the range of 5 kilometers is not small, he can still find the target by flying.
"No need!" Aipal shook his head and said, "I destroyed the shadow by force, and the caster should have lost his life due to the backlash of magic power."
"Is that so?" Jia Zhengjin nodded slightly, then there was no need to go out again.
"Excuse me, since it is a shadow that cannot be destroyed, how did you kill it?" Atticas was sure that the shadow was dead and finally felt relieved, so he couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
Jia Zhengjin and Aipal looked at each other at the same time, neither of them answered his question. (To be continued)
