Zhang Mu had no intention of letting go of the enemy who wanted to kill him.
He raised his left hand, and a crescent-shaped green wind blade gathered and formed, slashing out horizontally, cutting through the necks of the three standing guards.
It then continued to move forward, cutting down two sturdy trees in succession, turning into a breeze, blowing a few leaves before dissipating.
Perhaps it was too sharp, and the head took a few seconds to fall sideways, rolled on the ground a few times, and stopped when it hit the bodies of other guards.
The headless corpse, gushing blood, fell to the ground with a loud bang, and the air was filled with blood.
Zhang Mu's nose twitched, it smelled something unpleasant.
He let out a long breath, suppressed the slight discomfort in his heart about the corpse, and looked at the dazed Ronay: "Now can you tell me, who sent you here?"
Rone opened his mouth and didn't hear his question. It seemed as if all the sounds in his ears disappeared and his mind was filled with doubts.
Is this the magician?
But the mayor said that the fireball released by the magic apprentice cannot explode, but can only burn the enemy with high temperature. Why...he is not a magic apprentice?
He seems to be younger than me?!
Rone raised his head suddenly, his eyes bloodshot: "Why, why can't I become a magician!"
Too much stimulation, crazy?
Zhang Mu had a strange look on his face, then shook his head. It didn't matter. He believed that the threat of death could calm him down.
With a slight wave of the staff, an ice cone condensed in front of him, flew out, piercing the air with a sound, and stopped at a distance from Rone's eyebrows.
good results.
The coldness woke him up immediately.
Rone stared at the ice cone between his eyebrows with his eyes as if he was cross-eyed. His hands and feet were stiff and he dared not move.
After a while, he calmed down a little and said, "Master Magician, the mayor sent me here."
As he spoke, he slowly reached his right hand toward his lower back.
Mayor?
Zhang Mu scratched his face. He didn’t even know me, so why was he bothering me?
When he looked up to ask, he saw that Rone had a scroll in his hand.
“Hahaha…Go to hell!”
Rone had a ferocious expression, as if he was looking at the murderer of his father, and he pulled the scroll open with force.
So what if I'm a magic apprentice?!
After all, it is a body of flesh and blood, and it will die if bombarded by magic!
The unfolded scroll is made of cloth. There are no images or words on the unfolded cloth, only milky white light gathering.
About a second later, a beam of light shot directly at Zhang Mu amid Rone's excited shouting.
Then he was bounced back by the oval blue light shield that suddenly appeared around Zhang Mu's body.
It was very accurate and powerful, piercing the forehead.
Zhang Mu was a little stunned when he saw Rone falling to the ground with a red face and the light shield disappearing.
With his mental perception, his eyes fell on the badge on his right chest.
There was a trace of magical fluctuation left on the badge. There was no doubt that this was the insurance that Potter gave himself.
I guess he was worried that he knew there would be no danger, so the actual combat practice would not be effective, so he hid the matter of the light shield from me.
Zhang Mu was deeply touched by Potter's secret protection of him, even though he would not die in the other world at all - the panel had a resurrection function.
But...how can I find the person who ordered it if he's gone?
Rubbing his temples, Zhang Mu walked towards the town, thinking.
He said it was the mayor's order, well... half true and half false, probably.
Zhang Mu was not sure whether Luo Nei was telling the truth or lying, but since he mentioned the mayor, he went to find him to test it out.
Even if he is not the mayor, it is good to ask if he has any relevant information. Otherwise, just kill him directly.
As for the church regulations prohibiting armed conflicts in human settlements, Zhang Mu didn't bother to care.
Should I just let him go if he hides in the town all his life?
Nonsense.
He has always adhered to the life creed of revenge as long as he can get through it.
I looked up at the sun which was not too hot.
In order to confirm whether Roone's target was him, he deliberately circled in the forest, which wasted a lot of time. It was already afternoon.
hurry up.
Zhang Mu quickened his pace.
……
As the sun sets, only a wisp of sunset glow remains in the sky.
Charlie woke up from his afternoon nap and sat in the pavilion in the courtyard.
A believer walked slowly behind him and said, "Your Excellency the Bishop, the believer who was watching the town gate reported that Captain Rone has not returned."
Confusion flooded Charlie's mind.
We should leave town in the morning. No matter how troublesome that guy is, he should come back.
And with the apprentice-level scroll I gave him, there is no reason for me to fail, unless... he is stronger than me and used his mental power to mislead my perception.
A young man in his early twenties, already above the level of a magic apprentice, is he the genius of his family...
Charlie stood up and paced back and forth with a frown on his face.
Will Ronay expose me?
Most magic families are vindictive and would definitely not dare to touch me in this town.
But if they send people to wait outside the town and ambush me when I go to Bala City to report on my work at the end of the year, will the higher-ups really spend a lot of energy investigating the murderer just for me, who is on the margins of the church?
the answer is negative.
What's more, even if the murderer is brought to justice, or even the entire magic family is destroyed, can he still survive?
The cautious Charlie immediately decided to run away early, but the church had regulations that prohibited local bishops from leaving without permission.
Fortunately, this is not a problem for Charlie.
He trotted back to his bedroom and picked up his quill and a sheet of rough gray paper made from tree pulp.
To Bishop Haigh:
Recently, there was a suspected heretic in Kas Town. After Charlie followed up and investigated, he found out that the heretic was above the magic apprentice.
I wanted to carry out God's wrath against heretics, but I was defeated. I beg the bishop to send high-ranking believers to support us as soon as possible.
Cass Town Charles Bishop Liu. 】
After writing the letter for help, he called a believer and asked him to set off immediately and deliver it to Bishop Hager in Bala as quickly as possible.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the believers solemnly nod their agreement and turn to leave.
No one dared to attack him while he stayed in the town, so now he just had to wait patiently for the high-level believers to arrive.
Those who falsely reported heresy would be punished by being sent back to the bishop’s cell to be detained for three years, personally escorted by high-ranking church members.
It is indeed painful to lose freedom for three years, but it is better than dying here.
Charlie sat back in the chair with a relaxed look, looking at the remaining afterglow, smiling and saying to himself: "Tonight, I will have another sweet dream."
Chapter 32 Mr. Mayor, look, this is God.
The forest north of Kas Town.
The last ray of sunlight in the sky was about to be submerged in the horizon, and the forest, which was already opaque to the elements, became even darker.
"boom--"
The violent explosion was accompanied by flames, providing a brief brightness.
"Huh...huh..."
Zhang Mu put down his right hand that was holding the staff high, and leaned back against a tree trunk to catch his breath. On the weed-covered ground lay the corpses of more than a dozen wolves.
Some had burnt skin and exposed flesh, some had transparent holes on their foreheads, and some were cut in half, with the wolf's body lying on either side, front and back.
They are slightly different in appearance from the wolves of Blue Star.
First of all, it’s the height. Perhaps affected by the magic, the smallest one is about three meters tall. Standing normally, they are almost as tall as Zhang Mu, who is 1.8 meters tall.
The fur is silvery white, and according to what Avril learned in class, silvery white represents lightning, so this is a pack of thunder wolves.
Fortunately, no leader appeared. They were just ordinary thunder wolves with strong physiques and no magic.
Otherwise, Zhang Mu would probably have to rely on the light shield of the Potter Badge to escape from the forest.
Why would Warcraft leave its usual activity area?
He recalled what happened three hours ago.
In the afternoon, he was ready to return to the town to see the mayor, but just after he took a few steps, he was attacked by a pack of more than ten thunder wolves.
Fortunately, the forest was thick and dense with trees, which greatly affected the wolves' ability to chase.
Zhang Mu circled around in the forest. Once a wolf was left behind due to the speed difference, he would immediately turn around and release magic to attack.
After three hours of guerrilla warfare, they finally killed the last thunder wolf with a fireball.
After a break, feeling much more energetic, he glanced around.
He was lucky enough not to lose his way, and during the guerrilla warfare he had intentionally run towards the outskirts of the forest, so this place was quite close to the edge.
"Huh?" Zhang Mu was about to set off for Kas Town when he suddenly heard the sound of water splashing on the right.
I walked over out of curiosity and saw a clear spring.
