165 Support for Lucien (2/2)
”No worries. Some of us just left to check,” answered the night watcher calmly. ”We got around three or four grand knights here, and more than ten other knights here.” As the night watcher said, even though some of Brown’s guards were gone, the security was still reliable.
Brown took a glance at Viscount Wright and the other knights, feeling a bit relieved.
However, at this time, an arrow covered with blue light flew directly toward Brown fiercely.
Without doubt, the power of the arrow was at least from a knight-level archer!
Within a blink, the arrow was already right in front of Brown.
Viscount Wright waved his left hand and summoned a strong gust of wind. Although the wind slowed down the arrow a bit, it did not really deter the momentum.
The archer was at least of a grand knight level, or maybe the bow this archer used was a level three weapon!
However, with the viscount’s help, Brown got enough time to activate his divine item again. The white feathers covered him again, and at the same time, the night watcher quickly grabbed Brown’s shield and swiftly held it right in front of Brown.
The arrow with great power instantly pierced through the shield and stabbed the feather cover.
As the feathers fell and turned into dust, there were more growing back quickly. Finally, the arrow dropped to the ground. Brown escaped this elaborately planned attack!
The person shooting the arrow from the tower already retreated immediately, followed by the night watcher who was in the disguise of a boatman, who was good at tracking.
Viscount Wright looked quite pissed off. Slightly raising his right hand, Wright sent a couple of his knights to assist the night watchers.
Casually, Lucien lifted his monocle a bit in the crowd. There went another night watcher and quite a few knights.
Lucien was confident that, after this attack, Brown would be less on the alert to a certain degree. After all, in Brown’s mind, the attack was already over.
When Lucien got closer to Brown, he could see the amulet hanging on his neck now looked quite dim. Brown supposedly only had one more chance to activate it.
The tactic was put forward by Lucien. No matter what method the people from the congress would use, Lucien asked for two rounds of diversions.
”The shield is damaged, and the Angel Feather can only be activated one more time. Shall we leave right now?” asked Brown nervously.
”Calm down, Mr. Brown,” responded the night watcher. ”Their attack did not get you, and our people are everywhere right now. No one would dare come at you. Besides, if there was only me protecting you to go back home, it would be even more dangerous. Perhaps that cunning sorcerers are just waiting for you to go back home. Stay here, and you’re with a lot of knights present. It’s safer.”
Brown took a glance at Viscount Wright. If it were not because of his help, he might be dead already. So, he nodded, ”All right.”
Although many of the nobles were frightened by the arrow, the fact that many knights and even grand knights were around today soon set them at ease. Besides, they also did not want to offend Saugus, the owner of the museum.
Although many wax art enthusiasts were also gathering in front of the museum, most of the common people here could not afford the entry fee—twenty Nars.
Carrying a black leather suitcase, Lucien walked toward the gate in a decent manner.
Seeing Lucien’s elegant bearing and his fine suit, the two guards standing there said to him politely, ”Twenty Nars, please, sir. And we needed to check your suitcase.”
”Sure,” answered Lucien in a Djibouti accent, ”I’ve just arrived here to attend the opening ceremony. And this is my luggage.”
As he opened his suitcase, a couple dozens of shining Thales mixed with some decent clothes immediately caught the guards’ eyes.
After receiving fifty Nars from Lucien, the two guards bowed to him and let him in very politely.
Together with his black suitcase, Lucien walked into the museum.
It was a special suitcase. At the bottom of it, there was a very secret layer underneath.
