50. The night watchman in the rose garden


Every time I release the power of lightning, my body will be indiscriminately injured by the lightning, the lightning rushed out of my spiritual sea, destroying my meridians along the way, or from the arm, or from the calf out, attacking the nearest target, at this time I can't control it, this lightning power to my damage is not small, if I don't have a strong recovery power, I will never die like this, my body can't withstand the frequent use of lightning power, facing so many ferocious vicious dogs, You can only choose to flee first."

Lagertis, you and Helena pick us up at the gate of the rose garden, let's go out from there, don't worry, we'll be fine!"

Becky followed behind Win Li and shouted loudly at Lagertis outside the fence, her voice not too loud, but loud enough to be heard far on such a silent night.Becky was very shapely, and I knew she was a student at the Junior Warrior Academy, but it was the first time I had seen her with her weapon ready for battle.She was wearing a light armor of demon antelope skin, and her arms were covered with a round shield less than a foot in diameter, the edges of the round shield were polished to a very sharp edge, and her gloves were wearing fist gloves full of sharp barbs.Martial artists all have amazing explosiveness, and the martial artists who are very power-related seem to be some muscular men, and there are very few female martial artists, also because women are born with better balance and coordination than men, but their strength and explosiveness are also slightly inferior to men.Among girls of the same age, Becky can only be said to be a little fleshy, and I really don't know where her strength comes from.Then I thought, many girls from rich families just come to the academy to learn some basic combat skills, is it really to let them go to the battlefield?

Only some girls who want to change their lives and destiny who can endure hardships and are also quite athletic will eventually become real warriors, and this part of the population accounts for a very small proportion of many women.Maybe it's because Becky thinks martial arts are fun, maybe it's because.So I was thinking, maybe Becky is studying to be a showman, and besides, she should be a freshman at the War College like me!

Becky bore the brunt of the attack, taking the lead first, her leather boots were inlaid with curved metal plates on the toes and heels, the soles of the shoes were hidden with spring-shaped blades, and the double-edged sword more than half a foot long was stepped on under her feet, and with each kick, she could cut down a piece of Night Charm, her legs were very long, and she could see that her legs were very fast, and her kicks were also very accurate, and almost every foot could sweep down the Night Charm along the way to the greatest extent.There was a sweet smell in the air, a lot of yellow juice splashed everywhere, I heard that the fruit of this plant tasted very sweet, but there was a hallucinogenic toxin in it, and it would have an aphrodisiac effect when taken in small amounts.It was obviously not something that a new warrior apprentice could accomplish, but Ying Li was out of breath after only a few steps, his cheeks flushed, his chest rising and falling, and the rhythm of his breathing was disordered, nervously tugging at the corners of my clothes.I sighed secretly, I really don't know if this eldest lady jumped down, whether it was for me to help or to cause me trouble.Ying Li clutched the magic wand tightly, and the dog behind him had eliminated the fear of lightning in his heart, and approached us little by little again.She turned and waved the staff, I couldn't make out what kind of spell was in her mouth, a hot fireball shot out from the staff, and hit a dog head-on that rushed forward, the flames that exploded completely enveloped the dog in it, the dog was like a fireball, in a miserable whimper, fell hard into the chopped night magic field, the inertia of the dog ran with it rolled forward twice, and the flames all over the body burned the juiced leaves of the night magic rose.Seeing this scene, the dog that caught up behind whimpered again, clamped his tail, and ran backwards sideways.I know it won't be long before the dogs will return, and now we have to rush out of the rose garden.Ying Li is a first-level magic apprentice who has just awakened the magic pool, and the first-level magic apprentice has no ability to release magic skills at all, and the "fireball technique" is a harmful spell that requires at least a seventh-level magic apprentice to be qualified to learn, so I think that the magic ball she released must be the skill contained in the staff in her hand, and I don't know how many times her staff can last.Becky obviously also knew that there was no time to delay, and the speed of cleaning up the night charm on the road ahead of her accelerated again, I saw her serious face, and knew that she might have reached the limit, the leather leg guards had been scratched countless shallow marks by the spikes of the night charm, Becky frowned and urged me: "Let's go quickly, otherwise in a while, those vicious dogs will catch up again!"

”I took Ying Li's hand and asked her with a bitter face: "You are out of danger safely, why do you want to come back?"

”"I'm trying to save you!"

Ying Li grabbed the corner of my clothes tightly with his hand and said stubbornly.I pressed my hand to my forehead in distress, and I wanted to say to her: I would be easier without you.I felt that Ying Li was a little too sensitive, so this sentence stuck in his throat and did not speak, but he just said in a muffled voice: "I happen to use some simple little magic, maybe this will make it easier for us."

When I used to wander, an old orc gave it to me, and he said it was a very wonderful trick. ”"When you were a child, you were still wandering?"

Ying Li seemed to be very interested in my past, and I was also very speechless to ask such a question at such a time, and the vicious dogs behind me began to gather together again, and they approached very carefully, this time their steps were very neat, and the whole group of dogs fanned around.I felt that there was nothing I could not say about these things, so I said to her, "Well, my current adoptive father and adoptive mother adopted me five years ago, and when I was very young, I once wandered on the plateau with an old orc.Now is not the time to talk about this, you hold me, and I'll see if this spell works!

”I asked Ying Li and Becky to stop and stand beside me, but Ying Li still insisted on grabbing the corner of my clothes and pulling my white shirt a little twisted.Becky was on my shoulder with one hand, and I could tell she was curious about my endless arsenal of tricks that were beyond the knowledge of a new magic apprentice.I chanted the incantation softly, Ying Li felt very dazed by these ancient orc words, she seemed to understand and watched me draw a magic pattern circle, this magic pattern circle only lasted for three seconds, and suddenly turned into a puff of green smoke, enveloping the three of us.The figures of the three of us faded in the smoke."

Is this magic?"

After Ying Li got a positive look from me, he complimented, "This magic is really great!"

What is the name of this magic?

”"Cloak of Shadows!"

I replied.Ying Li smiled, "It's good that you awakened the magic pool and became a magician, otherwise you would have missed out on learning such a great magic."

However, are you sure that you, a first-level magic apprentice, can really sustain the three of us like this?

”The three of them hid in a light veil of smoke that was hard to discern at night, and all sounds and smells began to slowly fade away."

I can't say for sure, but I can hold on for a little while, and I think my mana will at least last us three times around the rose garden!"

I took Ying Li by the hand and turned to her with a half-joking smile.After casting the "Cloak of Shadows", due to my slight distraction, my magic control ability was slightly insufficient, and the reverse rotation of the magic pool barrier stopped at a certain moment, causing the mana in the magic pool to spread out uncontrollably.Originally, I thought that the overflow of mana in the magic pool would stop the "Shadow Cloak" spell, and at that moment I was ready for the three people to appear, but to my great surprise, the "Shadow Cloak" not only did not stop halfway, but the mana that spread outward, found a certain meridian in the body, and replenished it to each node, and the mana of each node in the body began to flow into the magic pattern circle outside the body, maintaining the normal operation of the "Shadow Cloak", and waited for a while, The magic pool in my body hasn't dried up.Walking step by step out of the large fields where the night charm grows, at this time, looking back at the rose garden, I found that the whole park has established three lines of defense: the high fence wall, the planting land is lined with ridges, and the vicious dog is as huge as a lion.Then again, among the flower lovers who linger in the rose garden all day, don't they find the vicious dogs and hell plants lurking in the shadows?

The question is very simple, in fact, in the final analysis, when the owner of the garden built the wooden fence, he built it according to the double wooden fence.Today's wooden fence is full of creepers, it is already impermeable, it is difficult to see the scenery inside through the wooden fence wall, even if you look through the wooden fence, you can only see a touch of tender green, during the day, it belongs to the dormant period of the night charm.Ordinary people have never seen the night charm at all, and they think that those plants are rare plants in the yard, but no one will delve into them.I, Ying Li, and Becky were actually trapped between the inner wall and the outer wall, and the space here was not very large, but it was enough to surround the rose garden.I suppose there must be an exit, so the three of us walked along the ditch, in the shadows, looking for the hidden secret door.Along the way, we destroyed a large number of Night Charms, and the vicious dogs gradually regained their composure and began to wander aimlessly in the mezzanine.Finally, after walking about half a mile, the careful Ying Li found the wooden door on a wall often full of creepers, which was a wooden door made of iron and wood, which was not too large and could only accommodate one person.The wooden door was covered with emerald green creepers, and if it weren't for Becky's accidental use of a round shield against the fence wall, we would have passed by this wooden door.I didn't hesitate at all, quickly showed my figure, cut off the iron bolt of the wooden door with the wolf tooth dagger in my hand, gently pulled the wooden door open, poked my head out of the door, and finally saw the rose garden full of flowers, I breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said to Ying Li: "It seems that our luck is not bad!"

Once you enter the garden, you should be able to find the gate easily!

”Ying Li came out of the doorway, followed by Becky, and by this time the "shadow cloak" of the three of us had failed, and the vicious dogs inside pounced on it again, so frightened that I hurriedly slammed the ironwood door shut.Keep those vicious dogs inside.In the night, those roses exude an intoxicating fragrance.This disturbance was not small, alarming so many dogs, and we even destroyed a large number of night charms in the plantation, if the owner of the garden found that someone had made his garden look like this, he would never give up, and the nobles who had the ability and courage to plant night charms and captivity dogs were only a few in the city of El, and I could not provoke them.So I couldn't wait to find the exit to the garden, but in the dark of night, the roses were like a labyrinth, and I was dizzy.Ying Li was completely attracted by the clump of roses, and Becky followed Profit's side.Ying Li was about to reach out to pick the thorny rose, but the rose thorn was suddenly pricked in the palm of her hand, and she retracted her hand violently in pain, and exclaimed softly: "It hurts!"

”In the dead of night, my ears and eyes were extremely intelligent, and the moment I exhaled softly, I heard a slight sound of opening the door at the same time, and the sound of two people's vague footsteps came into my ears, and my heart sank.I waved at Ying Li and quickly gathered the three of us together, hiding in the shadow of the roses.Ying Li seemed to be very excited, probably the first time she had experienced such a thing, and her body was trembling slightly as she pulled my hand, which was by no means afraid, but slightly nervous with excitement.Becky, on the other hand, was really nervous, her body was tense all the time, guarding everything around her.I always felt that something was wrong, we had made such a big disturbance in this garden, and the whole rose garden did not react, and it was clear that there were not many people in the night watch, which was normal.But it's a bit unusual that there are still people in the garden at such a late hour.Lagertis kept the carriage very well hidden, and it was clear that everything was normal outside.The sound of unfamiliar footsteps got closer and closer, and two night watchmen appeared on the gloomy road, one in front of the other, carrying a stretcher, and a thin white shroud on top of the single frame, which was clearly a corpse.But in the middle of the night, why did these two night watchmen fiddle with another corpse Ying Li and I looked at each other, and we both saw in each other's eyes that the two night watchmen were silent and dug a big pit under a rose.It didn't take long for the pits to be dug up, and then the two night watchmen lifted the shroud, lifted the body out, and threw it into the pit beneath the roses.It seems that the body has not been dead for long, and the body is still in a stiff state.After the two night watchmen had buried the bodies, they slowly disappeared into the road where they came.
