Chapter 48 (1/2)
It was so dark that the thin wizard didn't notice anything wrong with each other. He leaned up without any precaution, widened his eyes and trembled.
”What did you just say? Do you know where the boy has gone?”
”Cough... Yes, cough...” Tom, lying dying in place, quietly waited for the other party to get close enough, and his voice lowered, as if full of temptation: ”he cough... He's right here...”
”Where?!”
The thin man who shouted couldn't help getting close and wanted to hear it clearly. At that moment, he clearly heard the snap of his fingers, and then the white light spot appeared in front of him
It's a firefly spell!
When the thin man wanted to hide, it was too late. The dazzling white light instantly closed his vision. ”Tom” suddenly had a short knife in his right hand, which was impolitely inserted into the thin man's neck and directly cut each other's throat!
”Ah... Ah... Ah... Ah... Ah...”
The shrill scream was blocked by the sound of broken Qi. The thin man who covered his throat and retreated hurriedly took out his magic wand. Even if he couldn't even read a spell, he was still desperately gathering the gray blue light.
Standing up, Loren grabbed the thin man's right hand without hesitation, broke each other's arm with the hilt of his sword, and kicked each other to the corner of the wall.
At any time, casters with wands are dangerous - not because they are efficient at killing, but because of uncertainty, which Lauren hates.
The dazzling white light gradually dissipated, and the alley on the back wall of the church returned to the original midnight black. The mercenaries squatting in the corner slowly opened their eyes, looked at the thin wizard who was convulsing in a pool of blood, and the guy standing next to him in Tom's clothes, swallowed his saliva, and moved out of the alley.
”I didn't say to let you leave, did I?” slowly turned his head and said in a flat tone, ”Why are you leaving so soon?”
”I'm just a mercenary, just taking money to do things.” the mercenary named ”Jerry” smiled twice, but still clenched his hatchet: ”we don't know anything about you and our employer.”
”But I just killed your friend. Aren't you going to avenge him?”
”In our business, losing your head is a matter of time.” Jerry licked his cracked lips. ”You let me go tonight. I promise I won't get involved again, will you?”
Loren hesitated for a moment, as if he were making a great decision.
”Generally speaking, I don't like unnecessary fighting. It's totally unnecessary.” he seemed to be talking to himself: ”but I'm sorry, tonight's things have completely exceeded my ability. If you are let go, no one knows what will happen, so...”
”We are all traders who lick blood at the edge of the knife, my friend.” Jerry's expression gradually cooled down: ”why do you force people to die?”
”Push to death? Don't pretend to be stupid, will you?” Lauren sneered. ”If you guessed right, you're not going to save me a living tonight.”
”Then there's nothing to talk about.” the somewhat disappointed mercenary stood up as if ready to move, and then suddenly threw his hatchet at Loren!
Loren, who dodged away without thinking, heard a strong wind hanging in his ear, and the sharp hatchet was directly stuck on the wall behind him.
After standing firm for a moment, he found that the thick and strong mercenary had rushed in front of him. Loren, who reacted instinctively, immediately pulled out the knight's long sword around his waist and wiped a touch of silver on the bright sword body.
”Dang -!!”
As if there was a tacit understanding, the two men retreated at the same time, and the steel sword and long handled axe broke a spark.
Loren, whose right hand sank, almost couldn't hold the handle of the sword. There was a faint pain in his knuckles, as if he was a little bruised - he still underestimated each other. Jerry's guy is stronger than he thought!
