Chapter 2: Assassination
"Don't be nervous, child, I'm Yuriel Saiputin, your king. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The old man looked at Ling Qi with kind eyes, and the man who barely raised his head looked at the old emperor with only indifference.
No one likes to talk to others on his stomach, and the moment he jumps off a tall building, he tells himself that to live is to live a wonderful and happy life.
There is no doubt that the way he looks now is just "wonderful" in the eyes of others.
Seeing that Ling Qi dared to look at the old man with that kind of gaze, the female guard, who had already placed the emperor and the gods side by side, snorted coldly, and was about to make this prisoner suffer a little bit.
The old emperor waved her to stop her, motioned for her to stand aside, and put away her weapon.
Although the emperor's order was difficult to understand, the female guard still carried it out without hesitation, and the eyes she looked at Ling Qi became more wary and disgusted.
Granary also put away his weapon and stood behind Ling Qi.
He believed that with him, this stupid bird, who had almost no combat training, could not turn the storm at all.
Calming down his violently heaving chest, the few movements he made were just a clumsy performance by clowns for Gran Rui and the others, but Ling Qi had indeed exhausted all his strength.
He struggled to his feet, no longer engaged in useless struggle, softened his attitude a little, and asked the old emperor:
"Why am I here, what do you want. ”
Ling Qi's question contained a lot of meaning, because he had heard Renalt say that this cell was a forbidden area, so he was curious about how he could end up here.
Even if there is no mirror, there are all kinds of familiar sensations coming from all over his body, and the parts that can be observed by his eyes clearly prove that he is still him, and it is not some soul crossing.
So, what exactly is the reason for his appearance in the cell, the mysterious voice?
The old emperor clearly misunderstood what he meant.
"Son, it doesn't matter what you've done in the past, it's not going to be remembered. ”
"You will be here, maybe it is God's will, maybe it is the arrangement of fate, who knows. ”
"As for what we want? No, you should ask yourself, what do you want. ”
I heard that the old emperor was treating him as a prisoner who had been wrongly detained, after all, this was the most normal explanation.
As for his later words, Ling Qi frowned even more.
That kind of friendliness, that kind of tone, seems to have an intention.
But he is alone, what else can he make others plot?
Ling Qi remained silent, pretending to soften his tone, and even deliberately showed a hint of flattery at being cared for by the superiors.
"Then, Your Majesty, you seem to be in some trouble, and what can I do to help you. ”
From hostility to obedience, the change was a little too fast, and Ling Qi couldn't help it, after all, he could see that these people were in a hurry and didn't have time to ink with him.
And this change did not arouse the suspicion of others, maybe in the eyes of those guards, the old emperor's personality charm was endless, let alone treat a lowly prisoner so kindly, I am afraid that only that kind of crazy guy will not appreciate it.
The frenzied Ling Qi waited for the old emperor's reply, and he had already begun to adjust to the role.
The old man shook his head with a smile and said:
"No, no, no, the child who appeared in my dreams, the key is not what you should do, but what you will do, what you will do. ”
Seeing Ling Qi's hesitation, the old man said again:
"As a people of the gods, a member of Tamriel, the gods will guide our path. ”
Ling Qi was stunned, secretly saying that it was a pity that this person did not preach.
On the surface, of course, he nodded silently and thoughtfully.
Is the dream the guidance of some regular force to fit his appearance, or...
Ling Qi couldn't guess, and just as the expressions of several guards became more and more anxious, the old emperor unhurriedly motioned for Renalte to enter the cell and open the mechanism.
That kind of calm, calm and quiet composure that Tarzan collapsed forward is indeed very soothing.
Only Ling Qi could see that the old emperor was clearly determined to die, and not long ago, he was standing on the edge of the rooftop of the Central Building with such an indifferent attitude.
He was a little anxious in his heart, the old emperor's performance seemed to imply the strength of the enemy, he couldn't understand the other party's "sense of fate", only that this was an old man who was about to come to an end.
To be sure, he didn't want to be involved, but it seemed like his only way out.
"Click, click, quack, quack. ”
"Boom!"
There was a sound of machine springs turning, and a gap cracked in the wall on the left.
Ling Qi's eyes widened, he didn't even notice that there was a secret door on the side wall.
I secretly regretted why I didn't search the cell more carefully. Then I began to rejoice, because behind the wall there was not a wilderness alley representing freedom, but a deep tunnel.
Looking at the black rumbling passage, Ling Qi swore that he would never be alone in danger, God knows what was in the tunnel, this was a magical world!
A few mermaids rushed in, still two people exploring the way, one behind the palace, and the old emperor walked in the middle.
Thanks to the old man, Ling Qi, who followed him privately, only received some white eyes.
The passage was a little cold, and it felt even more uncomfortable than in prison.
Dressed thinly, Ling Qi had to grit his teeth and endure it, praying that he would not get sick.
After walking for about ten minutes, the gloomy tunnel finally came to an end, and what caught my eye was actually an underground palace!
Torches hung from the cliffs, and hanging lamps hung from the top, and there were some unidentified luminous objects inside, like some kind of blue-white crystal.
Ling Qi followed closely beside Granry, for fear of touching something.
At this moment, Renalte, who was leading the way in front of her, suddenly stopped and stood on guard.
"Bang!Bang!"
With a few swords unsheathed, the three guards had already dispersed, protecting the old emperor in the middle.
This is a stone square platform, the front half is concave, and the recessed one, about twenty meters in front of several people, is exactly the steps down.
Behind him, about twenty or thirty meters away from the tunnel exit. The whole platform, not counting the steps, should be seventy or eighty meters square.
On both sides of the platform, there are scattered stone pillars with a blue color, extending into the distance.
Some of these pillars have broken and nearly half of them have begun to collapse, and it seems that they are more decorative than structural.
The old emperor was not young, and when he saw that he was about to enter the ground, he even turned his hand and took out a short sword from under his robe and held it in his hand.
Just looking at the posture of holding the sword, the blue light on the blade of the sword, is actually an expert, not just holding a decorative sword to bluff people.
Several people didn't care about the extra prisoners around him, the guards didn't care about his life or death, and it was not clear what the old emperor thought.
It is better to ask for others than for yourself, and Ling Qi will not complain.
In fact, he had quietly run to the crack formed by the collapse of a stone pillar on the side and hid.
If you don't have the strength, self-preservation is the last word.
A few breaths seemed a little hurried in the empty hall, and after half a minute, Granary and the other guard began to show the slightest doubt, but the female captain remained on guard.
In Ling Qi's sight, the pendant on the old emperor's chest was shining brightly, but the few people around him seemed to be indifferent to this obvious vision.
The old emperor looked down at the pendant, as if he felt Ling Qi's puzzled gaze, and smiled at him who was hiding in the dark.
Ling Qi suddenly felt a little nervous, because the light on the pendant suddenly lit up, and then suddenly extinguished!
Ling Qi's eyes shrank, the old emperor's right hand holding the sword tightened, and the female captain exclaimed!
"Be careful!"
There was a ripple in the surrounding air, and more than a dozen guys in red robes suddenly appeared!
"What kind of magic is this!!"
Ling Qi was shocked, his body shrunk even tighter into the shadows, he didn't expect that the emperor's enemies could actually use supernatural powers, so could the three-person escort team stop it?!
In his concept, the physical strength of mortals is no match for mysterious spells.
Granary looked at the enemy who suddenly appeared ten meters away, but smiled fiercely.
"Protect Your Majesty!"
After that, the man rushed into the enemy formation in a few steps, and slashed at an enemy with a slash!
The red robe was torn by the blade, revealing the black and red armor that was worn close to the body, like the skin of a demon growing on the body.
The sword light was too fast, just like Gran Rui's charging action, almost in the blink of an eye, he crossed a distance of more than ten meters and broke into the enemy formation, and Ling Qi, who was watching from the sidelines, could only see sporadic afterimages!
The vest was completely soaked, and he now knew what a terrible opponent he had faced.
With this kind of speed and this kind of momentum, it is no wonder that there are only three people in the guard.
Of course, he didn't know that there were only three "Blade Guards" left by the emperor's side, which was not a big deal, but it was unexpected.
Fortunately, the strength of the Blade Guardian does live up to its reputation, especially since these three people are still the leaders of the organization, and they are all ruthless characters on the right battlefield.
The Blade Guards are a group of extremely mysterious people, who belong exclusively to the imperial family and are only loyal to the emperor.
They are the eyes and ears of the Empire, and the last shield wall of the Royalty!
Click!
The seemingly solid black and red inner armor was cut open with a single sword, and the man in red didn't have time to resist, and it directly became two pieces.
The upper body was thrown out, and the lower body fell directly, and the blood of this benevolent brother was spilled on the ground, and he was not dead for a while, screaming miserably.
Frowning at the stench that suddenly welled up in the air, he ignored the miserable howls, his gaze completely fixed on the assassin's upper half of his body!
The inner armor under this man's robes and the strange-shaped war hammer in his hand all disappeared silently!
"It's magic again!"
Summoning weapons?summoning armor?making it difficult to maintain the effect of magic due to severe mental fluctuations?
Secretly making all kinds of speculations, Ling Qi made up his mind not to participate in this kind of intense battle, although the combat skills of these people are quite different from the three guards, but they are not comparable to a rookie like Ling Qi.
Any one of these people can come out and kill him in minutes without even casting a spell!
Gran Rui rushed left and right, his moves were simple and graceful, and his pace was as fast as thunder, obviously after a thousand tempers, each knife came out, the opponent was either dead or disabled, and the movements were even smoother.
Compared with Grantry's ferocity, the tiger's flock of moves are red, setting off a gust of fish, and Renalte's swordsmanship is more subtle.
With a long knife in one hand and a short sword in the other, this slender woman danced like an elf, killing people with few severed limbs, but harvesting faster.
What magic armor, magic shield, it's all a joke.
Neck, eyes, mouth, heart.
All the body parts that are exposed or fatal are all under her special care!
Although Ling Qi didn't know how to fight, he could easily tell the difference between the two killing methods.
Gran Rui is brave in attack, and actually has some defensive moves, or he has a relatively balanced grasp of the moves, whether it is stabbing, teasing, slashing, or slashing, he is extremely accurate. And Renalte stabbed harder, when she stabbed it, it was fast and ruthless, like lightning, and the heavy armor shield could penetrate it, and she couldn't block it or dodge!
The two routines are difficult to distinguish, but in Ling Qi's opinion, the female captain seems to be stronger, because the assassin was killed instantly under her hands, and there was no chance of serious injury!
In any case, these sudden assassins seemed to have become weeds, and they were harvested one by one, except for the one who was still wailing at the beginning, and the others could not even make a sound until they died!
Killing people is like grass and not listening!
Bolus, who was guarding the emperor, had not yet seen blood with his narrow knife, and a dozen assassins were about to be easily exterminated.
However, if it can be arranged in such a place in advance, and the emperor's escape is choked, the enemy's layout will be so simple?
Besides, he has the ability to force a few people to flee in a hurry! The real strength of the enemy--
