Weighing the bulging money bag in his hand, Claude felt very unhappy. There were six people around him, and there were only five silver thalers around him. Even though the money bag was full, it was full of copper coins. If not,
If his money was too tight, Claude really couldn't do anything. He didn't expect that these members of the Black Snake Society were poorer than himself. I really didn't understand how they could be so poor and still mess around in the underworld.
Throwing the money bag into the backpack on his back, Claude could only place his hope on the second leader of the Black Snake Society. He hoped that the second-ranked leader would not embarrass the Black Snake Society and that the money bag around him could
A few more silver and gold coins, don't stuff them all with copper coins like his men did, that would be too shabby, and it would be troublesome to count them yourself.
Claude became furious and decided that if the remaining members of the Black Snake Society didn't have a Silver Taller around them, they would have one of their hands or a leg broken off. He wanted them to develop good habits, and they must have them around them in the future.
It's enough to save one silver thaler to protect your hands and feet. Otherwise, it would be uneconomical for you to earn enough money after working all night and not even be able to buy a box of white root powder.
A box of white root powder sold in the herbal medicine shop in the open-air market only costs eighteen silver thalers, which is almost half cheaper than what Julian’s fat old man sold it for. Now the six members of the Black Snake Society provided it, oh,
Including the gold ring, that's almost five silver thalers. I hope that the remaining members of the Black Snake Society can have enough money to allow themselves to collect thirteen or four silver thalers, which is enough to buy a box of white root powder.
With the white root powder, I can continue to experiment with alchemical magic in the study room of the cabin. A box of white root powder can be used sparingly to complete the trial production of the flintlock. I remember that I am a first-level rune.
Mages, however, had to rob these gangsters and bastards from the Black Snake Society in order to collect materials for alchemy magic experiments. Claude felt sad because he had embarrassed all the magicians...
As expected, the place where the black snake blocked Gerald was the home of two sisters, Catherine and Kaifani, which was a small double-story building at the end of the alley.
It's just that this time it's different from when Squint-Eyed Kamadi led his men to block them. That time, the Black Snake Association didn't dare to tear up the peace agreement with the Shark Club. Squint-Eyed Kamadi blocked Gerald's group just to disgust them, and he didn't dare to take action first.
, just yelling and cursing there.
But this time the second leader of the Black Snake Society led his people to occupy the small double-story building, and the crying and yelling that Claude heard came from the home of the two sisters Catherine.
There is a small courtyard in front of the two-story building. The small courtyard is only half the height of the courtyard. There are four or five torches stuck randomly on the wall. Under the firelight, five or six figures can be vaguely seen moving in the courtyard.
Claude walked over less than ten meters away. People in the yard saw someone coming and thought it was one of their own. A voice asked: "What happened over there just now? I heard Robben, a coward, seemed to
What is he shouting? Why is he shouting so loudly? Did he get punched by Wright again? Hahaha..."
Claude didn't answer. He just walked to the door of the yard, stood still, and looked at the situation in the yard. It turned out that there were more than six people in the yard, and there were three more lying on the ground, but these three were lying on the ground moaning*
, it looked like they were beaten badly. Obviously, the three people who were beaten should be the bodyguards around Gerald, the acting president of the Shark Club.
"Huh? Who are you, where are you from, and what do you want to do?" Someone finally noticed something was wrong. Claude was obviously not one of them dressed like this, but they didn't understand why he stood blankly at the door.
"Robbery!" Claude said, "Everyone stood up, knelt down, and put their hands behind their heads."
The six Black Snake Guild members in the yard were stunned. You looked at me, I looked at you, and then they burst out laughing in unison, laughing so hard that they even held their stomachs and laughed.
Even a Shark Society guard on the ground who was holding his head and groaning couldn't help but burst into laughter. A member of the Black Snake Society next to him laughed and kicked him a few times.
It was so miserable that I thought you were the most seriously injured and couldn’t bear to take action. It turns out you were just pretending..."
There's nothing funny about the black line on Claude's head. Is there something wrong with me? Look at the way I'm dressed, there's nothing wrong with it! He raised the hatchet in his hand: "Why are you laughing? Be serious. I'm telling you, robbery."
ah!"
Not to mention it was okay, but when I mentioned it, the six members of the Black Snake Club laughed even harder, and they all looked so happy that they almost rolled on the ground holding their bellies.
At this moment, Claude suddenly understood why it is said that ignoring and ridiculing are the easiest things to irritate an opponent. His blood was boiling at the moment. It was so irritating. Tell me what is funny about him. He became so inexplicable.
Who can stand your jokes?
Just as he was about to give the man who was laughing the loudest a magic flying arrow a taste of its power, he saw two members of the Black Snake Guild holding back their laughter and standing up. They stretched out their hands to touch the side. One of them was holding a stone crossbow.
One held a hunting crossbow in his hand, and the arrows on the two crossbows were already pointed at Claude.
"Haha, man, throw away that little hand ax in your hand... Hahaha, how did you come up with the idea of using a little hand ax to rob the six of us... Hahaha..."
Claude finally understood why they were laughing so happily. It turned out that they thought they had come to rob the house with a small hand ax. Compared with the two stone hunting crossbows in their hands, the small hand ax in their hands looked very different.
It does look a bit too small.
Unexpectedly, Black Snake would think that these people would come out at night and bring two crossbows. No wonder they regarded Claude holding a small hand ax as a big joke. Claude loosened his fingers and the small hand ax fell to the ground with a clang.
.But when Claude reached back, he cast a long-range arrow protection spell on his body.
"Hey, kid, come over slowly, then stand up straight, kneel down, and put your hands behind your head like you said. Hahaha..." The guy holding the hunting crossbow shouted to Claude
He said: "I have never seen this kind of posture before. How did you come up with it?"
"How you came up with it is none of our business. Anyway, let him demonstrate it."
"I like this boy. He is very courageous. He dares to come and rob someone with a small hand ax. He is not afraid at all when facing six of us. He is very good. You have a bright future. I am optimistic about you. Hahaha..."
"How do you know he's not scared at all? Didn't you see that his whole face was covered? Maybe he was scared to tears by us, but you couldn't see it, haha..."
"Come here, kid, don't you hear me, or I will make a big hole in your body. Come over slowly, by the way, take the cloth off your face first, and let me see who you are..."
The six members of the Black Snake Society in the yard were chatting in confusion. They did not pay attention to Claude who had lost his hatchet. In their view, Claude, who was being aimed at by two crossbows, had become a target in their hands.
You can do whatever you want to do with the fish on your palm.
Claude sighed softly, raised his hand, and shot out two magic arrows. The two members of the Black Snake Society, who were standing together and chatting happily, groaned and fell to the ground, holding the wounds on their stomachs.
There were two sounds of "Zheng" and "Bang", and the crossbow arrows fired by the stone crossbow and the hunting crossbow had already shot in front of Claude like lightning, but they seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, almost in mid-air.
It stagnated for a while, lost its forward momentum, and soon fell to the ground.
This is called extreme joy, which leads to sorrow. The remaining four members of the Black Snake Society were stunned. The smiles on their faces were twisted together with the expressions of surprise at this moment, and their jaws were almost dropped. No one expected this person to come to the door with a small hand axe.
The masked thief who committed the robbery turned out to be a magician.
The guy with the hunting crossbow reacted the fastest. He slowly took two steps back. Feeling that Claude hadn't noticed, he threw the hunting crossbow in Claude's direction, turned around and wanted to run away. What a pity.
It was Claude who raised his hand, and a magical flying arrow opened a hole in his back. He fell to the ground without a word, out of breath.
Claude hated these members of the Black Snake Guild who were always shooting at people with hunting crossbows, so he immediately dealt with them ruthlessly.
Just as he was about to shoot a magic arrow at another guy with a stone crossbow, another member of the Black Snake Guild who was standing aside saw the guy with a hunting crossbow killed and came to his senses, knowing that he couldn't run away either.
He simply made up his mind, raised his hand, and a paper bag with white mist flew towards Claude, and at the same time he shouted: "Fight!"
He pulled out a sharp knife and rushed towards Claude.
He was only five or six steps away from Claude. He first threw the paper bag, and then rushed forward with his knife drawn. In the blink of an eye, he had already rushed in front of Claude, and the sharp knife in his hand stabbed directly into Claude's left rib.
Department. This place is a critical point. If you insert it, half of your life will be killed immediately. You can't even try to struggle. Obviously, this guy is a veteran of black magic. It is very likely that his subordinates have died, otherwise he would not have done this.
vicious.
Claude saw an unknown object coming towards him with a very suspicious white mist. He could only lower his head to dodge and did not dare to catch it with his hands. This thing gave him a bad feeling. Sure enough, this paper with white mist
The bag fell to the ground next to him, and a burst of white smoke flew up. When Claude saw it and smelled it, he wanted to curse loudly, "Oh, isn't this lime powder? They are really these lowly things."
But he couldn't care less about yelling at this moment. The guy who threw the lime powder paper bag had already rushed to his side with a knife and stabbed him in the ribs.
Claude could only retreat in a hurry. He had no weapon in his hand and could not resist the knife in the opponent's hand. Moreover, the guy with the sharp knife was a good hand and very experienced. Seeing Claude retreating in a hurry, he also moved forward quickly.
, keeping a close distance with Claude, keeping the sharp knife in his hand away from the vital parts of Claude's body, and always maintaining a threat.
With his entanglement, another member of the Black Snake Society also reacted, pulled out a triangular thorn and rushed over, shouting: "Fuck him to death!"
The member of the Black Snake Society holding the stone crossbow over there was a tall man with a very strong body, otherwise he would not be able to lift the heaviest stone crossbow. As soon as he saw that the two companions had entangled Claude, he lifted the stone crossbow in his hand.
He threw it on the ground, picked up a big ax for chopping firewood, and rushed over.
Claude continued to retreat helplessly. The sharp knife had already passed through his chest several times, and it almost touched his body. He wanted to hold the sharp knife and fight back, but he couldn't use the sharp knife to fight back.
The guy was very cautious. He didn't make any big sprints or slashes. He just stabbed and cut tentatively, as if he could make a big gash on Claude's body. But it happened that this caused Claude to
The biggest threat.
If only I had that energy shield... Claude thought of the magician who ambushed him in the woods. The energy shield on his body made him no threat to him, whether it was a crossbow or a short sword.
, could not hurt him. If the fish bone dagger he carried happened to be the demon-breaking dagger, his body might have rotted by now...
At this time, Claude forgot that energy shield is a first-level spell. Even if he has it, he can't use it unless he can become a second-level rune mage. But now the long-range arrow protection spell on his body is obviously unable to withstand the sharp knife at close range.
, this is really strange. A powerful arrow cannot break through the defense, but this light and sharp knife can easily cut through the invisible barrier...
Claude suddenly fell straight back, as if he was knocked down by the threshold. The guy with the sharp knife and the Black Snake member who caught up with the triangle thorn were both stunned, because Claude fell.
The place was still two meters away from the threshold. There was flat ground under his feet. How could he fall?
But their hesitation became an opportunity for Claude to reverse course. At the moment he fell, the distance was widened. Claude sent out two magic flying arrows, hitting the chests of the two guys in front of him. The two of them
His whole body was shaken, he groaned, and he slowly fell down while clutching his chest. This place was hit hard and it was hopeless...
The last tall and strong man with the big ax did not expect that his two companions would be suddenly overturned by Claude after gaining the upper hand. He was startled and raised the big ax and roared, not knowing that he was about to throw it.
He was still ready to rush over. But Claude didn't give him a chance, and directly used a magic flying arrow to shut his mouth forever.
It was finally over. Claude turned over and sat up, wiping the sweat from his forehead...
