Chapter 986: Not the protagonist after all
When they reached the bottom of the mountain, four tall horses and carriages pulled by tall horses that could be used as honor guard mounts were already waiting on the side of the road. The carriage with a simple and elegant shape, highlighting the majesty and mystery, is inlaid with the clock logo of the Future Science and Technology Chamber of Commerce on one side, and the family crest of the colorful rose is more gorgeous on the other.
The charioteers were two Norda Elven War Dancers dressed in delicate striped plate armor, dressed in emerald green robes with silver lace and with elven single-edged sabers hanging from their waists. In addition, forty Norda elves riding white horses of uniform coats, also wearing striped plate armor and emerald green cloaks, lined up in front of and behind the carriage in a procession of eight and thirty-two. On the saddle on the right side of their hand was a sheathed sword, a longbow and quiver hung from the saddle, and in one hand they held a riding spear nearly two meters long. The elven knights, who have done much better than humans in terms of equal rights between men and women, are naturally half male and half female. Their eyebrows are naturally handsome and unusually handsome, and their bodies are as tall as statues made of the most expensive and cherished stones, majestic and extraordinary.
The eight knights in front of the carriage had longer spears and long heraldic flags hanging from them, namely the Holy Emblem Banner of the Goddess of Life, the Golden Oak Banner of the Druid Order, the Eighteen-Toothed King Banner of the Norda Wood Elf Kingdom, the Double-edged Sword Banner of the Praetorian War Dancer, the Bow and Arrow Banner of the Praetorian Hunters, the Green Leaf Libra Banner of the Norda Development Group, and finally the Clock Symbol Banner representing the Future Chamber of Commerce, and the Colorful Rose Banner representing Lu Xi himself.
Forty elven knights in full armor and dressed up, a calm and atmospheric palace-style carriage, plus eight fluttering heraldic flags, at first glance, it looks as if it is a powerful nobleman traveling, even if it is placed in Auckland, which pays the most attention to the specifications of the honor guard, this kind of pomp will never be timid.
However, in Lu Xi's opinion, this is simply some kind of shameful play, as if a feathered peacock rushed out of the cage to open the screen for humans to see. Even if he was as heartless and cheeky as Lu Xi, he felt that this shame was a little too great, and after hesitating for nearly a minute, he slowly got into the carriage. He knew the reason why Sister Winnie made such an exaggerated arrangement - before the war, in order to show weakness to the enemy, no matter how low-key it was, it was understandable. But at this time, when you have achieved a total victory, it is also time to show your strength, including brute strength, wealth, and even the background and background, in order to further intimidate the local forces of Neosfia, who are already trembling.
A strong dragon crossing the river, no matter how angry it roars, the local loach fish and shrimp who have never seen the world can't see the depth, and will only make a laughing stock in vain; However, when the strong dragon struck the most powerful local snake with one claw, he shook his beard and scales, and he could make the rest of the shrimp soldiers and crabs tremble. At this time, whether you want to slap or give sweet dates, the effect will be better.
As a result, such an arrogant and domineering team, pretending to be unscrupulous, naturally attracted almost 100% of the turn of the year when it galloped through the streets of Neosfia. The ingredients of these gazes may be quite complex, including curiosity, surprise, envy, jealousy, and even contempt, but the only thing that cannot be avoided is that from now on, every citizen of Neosfia will remember that an outsider called the Future Chamber of Commerce has stepped on the bones of the Dalrest family that has been rampant for a hundred years, and has become an unshakable and powerful force in the entire capital of the seven seas.
"Hmph, I really got carried away! When a person doesn't even bother to hide his arrogance, that is the beginning of that person's destruction! I'll wait to see how long you can be arrogant, Lu Xi? Belencaster! "Skoll? Savi hid behind the window of a house and watched the motorcade passing by the street with hatred that bordered on madness.
He resisted the urge to throw a few alchemical bombs at the wagon, took a deep breath, and then picked up the cup and poured a few large sips of the liquor vigorously to calm himself down a little.
After suffering so many losses, even if it is Skoll? Savi, a gentleman with low eyes and low hands, can also remember the lesson. He knew very well how strong a top spellcaster's spiritual sense was, and how strong his subconscious magical defense ability was. The only alchemy bomb he had left would not be able to hurt the other party at all, and it would also reveal his location. At that time, it will be the end of being pierced by the other party's sword.
He was born into the famous Commonwealth family of Savi, a noble Austrian nobleman, who was born destined to rule the Federation. He has a grandfather who is the first combat power of the Savi family, and a father who is a high-ranking official in the Sky Federation, and he is also one of the most magically gifted young people in the family's generation, and he is fully qualified to compete for the position of head of the family in the future. He has a bright future, a high level of military prominence at a young age, a lieutenant colonel in the army, a three-star marker, and a beautiful and capable fiancée...... Well, although this fiancée with a little elf blood is indeed too capable and makes herself a little Alexander, she is indeed a big beauty who makes her heart pound. Although he was a little cold, he didn't reject contact with himself, and he didn't seem to be disgusted with his marriage contract......
Yes, a few days ago, when he arrived with his grandfather in Neosfia, he was treated with the highest courtesy by the Dalest family. The wealthy sons of the City of the Seven Seas surrounded themselves and complimented themselves, as if they were serving their masters. Skoll at that time? Savi, who thought he already had the whole world.
But now, he has nothing. His grandfather, Cassino, who was also his biggest supporter? The Savi Magister has died; The fiancée who is in charge of the Dalster family's strongest mobile unit, Sylvia? Dalesther also died. The entire Dalrest family has almost been uprooted, and it can be regarded as extermination. As for himself, his right hand was injured, and the source of magic power in his body had been broken by the elemental countercurrent, and he had not healed until now, and he had become a completely useless person who could not cast spells.
All of this has to be done thanks to the man in that carriage, the smiling devil, Lu Xi? Bestowed!
If it's not the only loyal friend Bora around? Carter, who may have been left dead in the fire by now.
Yes, thanks to Bella. Sensing the danger early, he left the Dalrest family mansion with himself first, so that he was not blocked by the enemy.
Speaking of which, why hasn't Bora come back yet? Skoll? Young Master Savi began to panic a little. Now, his loyal friend Bola? Carter is already the only hope and lifesaver.
Fortunately, the "loyal friend" did not let Scowl? Master Savi had been tormented for too long, and the door to the small apartment opened at this time. Bora dressed as an ordinary citizen? Carter walked into the room with some food and clothes bags, smelled a large smell of wine, frowned slightly, and then said, "Eat something, then change your clothes, let's hurry up." I've arranged it. There is now a floating boat on the dock in the East Harbor returning home, although it is a cargo ship, but I paid a little more, and the captain promised to arrange clean rooms for us. As soon as we arrived, the boat departed......"
A trace of anger regained in the eyes of the son-in-law of the Savi family, but then he hesitated again: "But, just leave?" Won't be too dangerous...... Isn't it too cheap Lu Xi? Belencaster? He is now my enemy of life and death, and how can I run away like this. ”
In fact, you have already been scared out of your courage, for fear that you will be targeted by the people of Belencaster as soon as you go out. And you almost said what was in your heart just now...... Birla? Carter looked at his "friend" and finally didn't say this complaint.
"Now it's useless for us to do anything. You and I are both seriously injured and have not recovered, even if it is quite difficult to deal with some ruffians and hooligans, let alone Lu Xi? Belencaster too. However, if you answer the Federation and return home, it is a different matter. The master is still in charge of the overall situation at home, and you can also get the final information, which should soon be able to recover from your injuries and restore the operation of the magic source. And you have so many trustworthy friends whose power is also available. ”
“…… Well, that seems to be the case. "Skoll? Savi nodded: "The revenge of the wise does not care about one day or two days, it requires patience and planning. I get it! Rather than really understand, he finally found a little reason to deceive himself.
Birla? Carter took in the subtle changes in the other party's expression, and couldn't help but sigh, it was so hard to serve such a waste boy. Obviously, he himself was seriously injured and had not yet recovered, and said that he was killed by Lu Xi last time? Berencaster slapped the few bones that broke off when he spread the flatbread on the wall, and he still hasn't grown yet. The reason why I can still walk normally is because I forcibly spliced the bones with Transfiguration, but this is really painful, okay? However, no matter how bitter the baby is, he really can't say it. Birla? Carter felt that since he chose to accept the Savi family's sponsorship and become the other party's retainer, he did have the obligation to die for the other party. What's more, although he often complains about the young master Scowl in his heart, he is very loyal in nature, and he still has a little bit of friendship with the useless young master.
Although I was injured much more than Skoll, it was all hard injuries on my body, and it didn't affect the casting of spells, and Skoll only had some contusions on his right wrist, but the source of magic in his body was badly damaged after all, and he could hardly do anything with people. Along the way, I was the only one to protect him.
Bola, an elite battle mage who fought on the front line? Carter is such a good person with a great sense of responsibility.
"Thank you so much, Bora, my dear friend...... I really don't know what to do without you? "In all fairness, it's a bit of a third-rate stage play, but Skoll? Grand Master Savi is indeed sincere.
Birla? Carter had a rare flash of warmth in his heart, and he said a little stiffly: "Anyway, let's fill our stomachs first, and then find a way to get out of here." ”
The food he brought with him was simply bread with meat and vegetables, cheese, dried fruits, and two bottles of goat's milk. The reason why goat's milk is chosen is because compared to cow's milk, this thing has much higher caloric and nutritional value, but the fishy smell is too heavy to eat. Of course, in the eyes of ordinary working people, this is already quite a sumptuous meal; However, since he was a child, even Skaul, who used to go to the battlefield (in fact, to suppress domestic uprisings and riots), would bring domestic slaves and cooks? Master Savi, how could he have eaten such "coarse" food.
Fortunately, although the eldest young master was squirming, he had not yet reached the point of being brainless, he just frowned slightly, took a deep breath, poured most of the goat's milk in a big gulp, and then began to gnaw on the piece of bread with meat again.
Birla? Carter couldn't help but slip through a warm current in his heart. He felt that this trip to Neosfia was not all bad. At least Master Scowl has suffered so many setbacks and blows, and although he behaves a little decadent, he has not completely given up on himself, and has indeed grown a lot.
Shame and courage! That's actually a good thing! Young Master Skoll's talent is not bad, and with this experience, he should mature in the future and grow into a man who can support the Savi family's business, right?
As a loyal retainer of House Savi, Borah? Carter felt very relieved, but the pain on his body suddenly decreased a lot.
Finished eating in two bites, Skaul? Savi soaked the towel with ice water again, wiped his face vigorously with vicious movements, his face was red from the cold, but he also recovered a lot of energy.
"I'm ready, let's go." He said in a deep voice.
"Okay, I've figured out my way. As long as we avoid the main road and try to walk along the branch road where ordinary citizens gather, we will definitely be able to avoid Lu Xi? Berencaster's pursuit troops. "Bora? Carter opened the door as he spoke, and he was ready to go out and explore the way.
However, in the next second, he only felt a chill in his heart, and his body seemed to be cut off by some invisible force, and he lost control of his chest cavity and even his entire body in an instant, and then he felt a sharp pain in his heart. The pain regained a little of consciousness, and when he looked closely, he found that his chest had been pierced by a thin sword no wider than his thumb.
The hilt of the rapier was held in the hand of a figure dressed in a black robe, with its head and face completely covered. He stood in the doorway, not saying a word, not even a breath, if it were not visible to the naked eye, not even perceptible to its existence, it was as if it were a black hole in the shape of a human being. He didn't know how long he had been standing, maybe he was just waiting for the moment to open the door before suddenly launching a deadly sneak attack.
Birla? Carter wanted to open his mouth, wanting to use his last strength to launch a spell, not only to attack the other party, but also to create an opportunity for Master Scowl to escape. However, before his tongue could move to utter a single syllable, his mouth was directly held down by the other hand of the man in black.
This elite battle mage who participated in the war of the undead died in horror and despair. His body fell to the ground, staring at the frightened Skoll with dead eyes? Young Master Savi, but he has already lost focus.
The man in black dropped Carter's body, drew his sword, shook off the blood foam on it, and then pulled a sword flower into his cane, and then walked into the room.
"I'm not going to kill you." "He" looked at the stunned Skoll? Savi smiled coldly, his voice was crisp and pleasant, but it was the voice of a young woman: "At least, I won't kill you yet." At a certain stage, you will be the opportunity to change everything, even if your own life is worth nothing. (To be continued.) )
