Chapter 9 The Old Hound (Part 2)

Because of the panic common among young men, Ladislaus relied solely on Sirica's alertness to avoid a fatal blow. Faced with a magic missile and more than half a dozen crossbow bolts that were rushing toward him, Ladislaus was about to

Much calmer than before.

More than once, he relied on ghost face magic to fight magic missiles in combat drills with the wild mage who rented his laboratory.

And those crossbow arrows, which are huge in number but have no magic properties, are impossible to cause any damage.

So Ladislaus calmly took out a bottle of Eagle's Glory potion worth nearly twenty talers from his cloak and drank it without hesitation. This wealth worth about 1,800 pounds of wheat was instantly wiped out, and at this price

Among magic potions, it can only be considered extremely ordinary.

Then he began to unleash the most powerful level four arcane ice storm he possessed at the roadside trees where the missiles and arrows were shot.

The mage who had just fired the magic missile shouted immediately after the arcane spell failed: "He has the Ghost Face Technique on him. Let's kill him together and use melee weapons to deal with him. Boss, your weapons are most effective against him."

As the leading criminal gang in Liguria, the six thieves immediately dropped their crossbows when the mage leader yelled, took out their daggers or short swords, jumped out of their hiding places and rushed towards Ladislaus.

Cesare Sibo was going back and forth with Boss Sirica at this time. After all, Boss Silica lost an arm in the Black Continent. At the same time, he lost half of his field of vision, which brought disadvantages to the defense of the weak side. Facing the young and strong, he was also soaked day and night.

A young level 7 rogue who is obsessed with martial arts is at a considerable disadvantage.

However, Sirica knew very well that Cesare, who was also a noble and possessed a magic weapon, posed a threat to his master. Therefore, after hearing the shouts of the opposing mage, Sirica turned from defense to offense, brandishing a dagger to attack his opponent.

, Cesare, who is also a young man, just now

He was still somewhat ferocious when facing the Ladislaus attack. Faced with the former dynamic leader of a social organization who had experienced many battles and killed people without calculation, he immediately exposed the fact that he also lacked actual combat experience.

His playing style was hesitant and he couldn't get rid of the Sirica boss after several rounds.

Ladislaus's Ice Storm, due to the insufficient advance setting, only hit the two thieves at the back of the team.

Although he immediately achieved a huge result of one death and one serious injury, the other thieves who had rushed over were already too close to Boss Sirica, and Ladislaus was hesitant to use a less powerful arcane spell.

Sirica's boss yelled: "Use Ice Storm on me."

Ladislaus immediately moved his hands, chanted obscure incantations, and cast spells in front of him.

The thieves who also heard this sentence moved away to both sides and stopped approaching. In order to get rid of Boss Silica, Cesare was hit while retreating, leaving a bloody wound on his right arm.

However, when the arcane aura flew away from Ladislaus's hand, the powerful ice storm did not reappear. Instead, the thief who had just died stood up again and gave the fastest and farthest retreat to the thief who had just retreated.

A heavy blow to his former colleague.

This is a "tactical secret word", a reward for completing "one hundred hours of joint training". Ladislaus can spend 10 reputation points to agree with his comrades to use irony in a special context to confuse the enemy.

The assassination gang fell for the trick of the tactical secret, giving Ladislaus the opportunity to use level 3 arcane magic to control the dead body. When they rushed towards Ladislaus again, only three hesitating thieves were left in the charging team.

, after scattering the wild wolves that had just been summoned by the first-level creature summoning technique during the charge, the acid sprayed from Ladislaus's mouth completely defeated them, and they fled away wailing. This kind of

The acid produced by Mesdy's strong acid breath is not as corrosive as the acid produced by the acid splash trick, even if Cesare, who was confronting the boss of Silica again, shouted to use his special skills to reward the bounty.

No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to bring back these panicked rats.

The other thief who stayed to fight against Boss Silica and the zombies had just fallen under the enemy's attack. Although he was still alive, he had no impact on the battle situation. However, Cesare unexpectedly did not escape and still passed through.

Yu Dou restrained the boss Sirica, who was no longer agile as he was in his youth, and the zombie, which was as slow as all its kind.

Finally recalling the existence of the mage who had shown nothing but a magic missile, Ladislaus was so happy that he sat down on the ground without hesitation. This action that showed no aristocratic dignity allowed him to dodge the magic missile.

Ma Yufu's acid arrow that can make a big hole in the back of his head.

The leader of the thieves is a rogue/mage composite advanced widely known as the Trickster. While her men charged and attracted the attention of Ladislaus and Sirica Boss, she sneaked in

Ladislaus delivered an extremely dangerous blow from the side and rear to the head wearing the noble hat.

The top-quality noble hat worth more than 10 talers, made by Brescia textile workers and top-notch tailors, although it made Ladislaus look elegant, it slightly enhanced his already impressive charm.

, but the defense it can provide is really negligible. If he is hit by Ma Yufu's acid arrow with the sneak attack effect of the Trickster, it may not be of any help to Ladislaus's fate.

The embarrassed Ladislaus saw that the trickster's other arcane spell had been released halfway, and recognized that it was a third-level creature summoning spell. A dire wolf was no small feat in a one-on-one contest.

Threatened, so Ladislaus, who fell to the ground, pointed his ring inlaid with seven gems at the opponent, and instantly fired a colorful jet, interrupting the opponent's spellcasting process. The instant shot could provide

The tactical advantage makes the value of this ancestral ring of the Doria family no less than that of the scorching impact.

While the enemies on this side were dizzy, Ladislaus used his second-level arcane spell to support the battlefield on the other side.

When the trickster refocused his gaze, Cesare Cibot, who had been hit by two consecutive negative energy rays, was killed by Boss Sirica.

The Trickster who lost his employer no longer wanted to fight, and did not hesitate to use the rogue's stealth skills to escape from the battlefield. The Trickster, who had already received 500 talers as half of the reward, naturally had no need to go to peace with him when the contract was already invalid.

Fight a powerful opponent who can use level 4 arcane spells.

After the trickster disappeared from sight again, Ladislaus added another ghost face spell to himself, and then summoned the wild wolf, which was better than nothing, to be on guard.

After hesitating for a moment, Sirica Boss decided to save the bottle of potion worth 10 thalers for treating minor injuries in his arms. After all, now is not a good time to be his own boss.

After remaining vigilant for a moment, he nodded to Ladislaus to indicate that the danger was over and the enemy spellcaster was far away.

At this time, Ladislaus looked at the lost luster of his childhood friend with mixed emotions, and countless memories came to his heart. The days when we laughed together are gone forever.

Ladislaus raised the dagger named "Feast Invitation" and stabbed it into Cesare's still warm heart.

The two enemies who were still alive were also wailing, and their lives were taken away by the dagger.

Those corpses withered quickly, as if they had been dead for a long time, and a light red color began to mark the daggers.

The dagger, which was originally almost as transparent as crystal, now seems to have a trace of clear blood flowing.

The ceremony that truly pleases the gods should be much more complicated, but we cannot stay here for a long time, so we can only use a simplified method. Ladislaus looked at the change in color of the dagger and seemed not satisfied.

However, the white experience progress bar displayed in his mind did make him quite satisfied. More than half of level 9 had passed.

In addition to the magic dagger, the most valuable trophy is a wild belt. This rare item can increase a little strength, agility, and physical fitness at the same time. It is also a very well-known treasure in the upper class society of the Republic of Liguria. It is of great significance to wanderers.

Not small.

After signaling to the coachman and bodyguard that he could keep these two trophies, Ladislaus stared at the small bag handed over by Boss Sirica. There were more than a dozen rather large gold coins in it, with the image of the former French King Louis XII prominently displayed on it.

Now, this is a large gold coin of ten louis.

These gold coins confirmed Ladislas's suspicions from the beginning of the battle. The gold Louis is a very rare large-denomination Kingdom gold coin in Italy. These dozen large gold coins weigh about 350 grams and are worth close to 200 thalers. Presumably, they are

Cesare organized the remaining funds for the assassination.

Since France had indeed intervened in the Republic of Liguria, Ladislaus, who had made the judgment that the Sibo family might have completely turned to the enemy, took out a black scroll, and after stimulating it like a scroll,

A strange black flame emerged from one end of the reel. This black flame will convey the country's crisis to the emperor's court as quickly as possible. It is also an important fruit of the emperor's investment. Although the name "Black Wail" is not

Good, but the emperor once said that he could hear good news the next morning, but if it was bad news, he would be woken up no matter how late it was.

Boss Sirica took off the spare saddle from the carriage frame, put it on the two Hungarian horses, untied the lasso, helped Ladislaus get on the horse, and then he jumped on lightly as a puller.

The carriage and horse were too good. Ladislaus then rode directly to the southeast without hesitation. In order to seize the time, he did not even return to the laboratory where he had spent a lot of effort.

Although he was surprised that his master did not run northeast to the nearest neutral country, the Marquis of Manchehua, but instead headed southeast, the smart former gangster decided to remain humble and silent, just obey the order and not inquire about the affairs that the generous master did not take the initiative to tell him.

, although the owner kept the heavy pocket of gold coins, he actually got more than 95% of the loot. The magic dagger was nothing more, but the belt that slightly enhanced the three attributes at the same time was not an ordinary product, even if he was making waves in Gibraltar.

In my days, I have never owned such a treasure. This is almost the best magic equipment that the top nobles of second-tier countries can get. A reward of this level can be considered generous even if I have made great achievements today, and

After all, the tactical riddle that made the enemy vomit blood was Ladislaus's creation.

The direction of escape chosen by Ladislaus at this time was the result of careful consideration.

The failure of this diplomatic action will definitely cause him to lose points in the eyes of the emperor, and his immediate escape to a neutral country will leave an extremely bad impression on the emperor. "Is that guy from that branch really just a casual chess player?" This is Ladislaus

Si will never accept it.

Only by heading south to the Republic of Florence and the Church of Rome and promoting the establishment of an alliance can we restore our image and maintain our unstable position in the Habsburg family. The passage between Liguria and Milan is now tightly guarded.

However, there are a large number of French troops in the Principality of Savoy, and there are many strong soldiers in the army. If they flee to the north, they are likely to be hunted on a large scale by the Republic of Liguria or France.

Ladislaus, who was worried, only considered the hard work of Boss Silica in the deadly battle, so he was very generous with the equipment that he could not use.

Ladislaus was determined not to choose a life of muddling through.

The Church of Cyric is the first church in Europe today. Under the name of "Dark Sun", Cyric not only governs the Roman Church State, but also envies countless other churches that are still working for the legal missionary rights of cities and towns.

There are countless bishoprics and monasteries within the Holy Roman Empire. Among them, the three most powerful archbishops, the Archbishop of Mainz, the Archbishop of Trier, and the Archbishop of Cologne, are the electors, holding three-sevenths of the power to elect the Holy Roman Emperor.

vote.

The power advantage of the Cyric Church can be seen quite directly from the members of its cardinal group. In an environment where spellcasters are extremely rare on the continent of Europa, at least half of its cardinal group with more than 20 people are level 13 or above.

The strength of most other gods, and the characters in their churches who can use level 7 magic are basically the undisputed supreme leader.

Not to mention any pope in the past thousand years, Sirik will give divine grace, regardless of the original level of divine magic, and immediately be promoted to the electorate of the legendary realm. The whole continent will respect him as the "True Chosen Pope". For nearly a thousand years,

It has been the undisputed number one player in the Europa continent for many years.

In addition, the Pope's thousands of years of inheritance have accumulated more powerful artifacts than any other royal family, which ensures that the Pope is sure of victory against any other mage who can come into contact with the ninth layer of the Magic Network, known as the "Kingdom". After the "Dark Sun"

Hui Zhen can be described as shining brightly.

In Ladislaus's view, since the Republic of Liguria, an important and wealthy commercial city-state in northern Italy, has decided to openly support France, just like the Principality of Savoy and the Swiss states that have surrendered to France, what's more important is that France is now

After controlling Milan, it is very likely that for the sake of the balance of power in Italy, the Roman Church State may support the Holy Roman Empire, or at least maintain good-faith neutrality.

The Republic of Florence is similar to the Republic of Liguria, with complex internal factions and forces, and unlike the Republic of Liguria, which is faced with the pressure of French troops, even with the threat of France occupying Milan, it is still difficult to take the initiative to stand between the two major forces.

But if I travel south and do some hard work, I think the emperor will take notice of it.

As for his property in the Republic of Liguria, the main one is the laboratory. In fact, in the past few months, because the emperor's remaining resources have been exhausted, if the income from his position as a member of parliament is used to live a luxurious life, it is true that he can live in luxury.

But in the arcane field, even adding the emperor's monthly allowance of one hundred talers is really not enough. He recently couldn't even afford to hire a low-level mage to learn how to make entry-level constructs.

If the French don't come, Ladislaus will seriously consider pursuing his career in the Black Continent or the New World.

As for the Doria family where he originally lived, they naturally knew what happened after seeing the "black wailing".

Based on this judgment, Ladislaus decided to venture south to Florence and Rome.

It's a pity that the MP's seat has not been warmed up yet.

On October 10, 1521, after the birth of the first apostle of Cyric, Ladislaus fled Liguria.
