When Temahiu and Mrs. Eno, who were both at the mansion, heard the news about Johns, they all showed strange expressions. Temahiu came to the mansion this morning, in the name of visiting Arthur and Elise, but actually
After learning that Elise and Johns were also practicing daily covering elemental power, they came over to understand the situation.
Why is it Arthur? What is Arthur going to do? Will Arthur also be kidnapped? Except for Guy who went to work because the antique shop reopened, the five people in the mansion were all in a dark mood because of the kidnapping and the list.
The previous layer of shadow.
The five wizards sitting around the long table each had their own ideas. Arthur, who was at the top, kept changing his sitting posture. If the aristocratic death game mentioned by Johns was true, the one-armed Nighthawk and the weak-sighted Jay...
Wouldn't it be dangerous for Arthur to be kidnapped to participate in this game? Mrs. Inno on the right has lit the fifth complete Star Fireweed. She and Matthew on the left are worried about Arthur's safety. A few years ago
They also learned a lot of information about the missing tramp case because of Johns. Once Arthur is kidnapped to participate in the death game... the Hermitage will suffer a huge blow.
The slightly younger Johns and Elusi were more straightforward. They stood up one after another, and Elusi said to the three people above them: "We can't let Arthur fall into a dangerous situation like this. We don't know who is on the list except
What kind of dangers exist besides Hungry Tiger? We don’t know why Arthur appears on this list, so we can’t rule out that this is probably a trap organized by the official organization. If Arthur wants to go, I will
I have to follow."
"Elise!" It was not Mrs. Inno who made a fuss, but Temasu, another elder figure of the Hermit Society, scolded: "This is not a joke. It was already a mistake for you to go to Beinong District when you were deceived."
If something goes wrong this time when you go to participate in the game of perverted nobles with Arthur, what will you ask your mother to do? What will you do to the Hermits? Without you, if Isis comes to Brighton City
We have no resistance at all when looking for the Monument of Life! Do you expect me, an old juggler who can only turn into a stick, to protect the Monument of Life?" After a few words, Shoumat's face turned red and he wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
Mo Zhen, sit down again.
"Arthur, I know Nighthawk, Parrish's old friend. In terms of close combat, it can even easily deal with you and Parrish. Even if it is kidnapped, I don't think you can resist."
.Then the next question is, can you survive playing a death game with a man of Nighthawk's strength? Arthur, you are the light of the wizard that Parrish likes, and you are also the first wizard to appear in so many years.
There won't be anyone who has experienced body explosion and collapse in the dual-attribute community. I just want to tell you that we don't just have to stay in Brighton City. We can leave, whether it's the Western Continent or the Eastern Continent. I
Even a handful of old bones can go out with you."
Arthur waited quietly for Matthew to finish everything, and put his right hand on the back of Xiumat's hand with slight gratitude. At this time, Mrs. Ino's eyes flashed a little brightly, then dimmed. She looked helplessly.
Elise, who has a doll-like appearance, still needs to take care of her daughter. Arthur reached out and patted Temaxiu and said in a deep voice:
"Uncle Temasu, please allow me to call you uncle. I know that you have been protecting me secretly with Old Ford since you were a child. You are also one of the people who pushed me to become the leader of the Hermits, but now, some things are for us wizards.
I don’t want us to just live in this world all the time. What I hope for is the growth of wizards. Over the years, I have seen the dirty styles of many other races...including this time, when foreign enemies are facing us, these so-called nobles
Senior officials are still doing these things... I won't run away, and I don't need Elus to be with me. Since they have caused trouble for me, now I will make them pay the corresponding price."
Johns laughed loudly and threw his hat on the table: "Matthew, Arthur is much stronger than you think. He is no longer the child you want to protect. Now he is a member of our hermit society."
Leader, do you know what he plans to do? He plans to start a revolution of wizards! "
Temaxiu pretended to exclaim twice to cater to Johns, and returned to his worry about Arthur: "You must be prepared for everything. Your enemies are not only powerful people, but also nighthawks..."
"Don't worry, Uncle Temaxiu, I will bring Nighthawk back safely."
...
Two days had passed since Arthur and Termasiu confessed their thoughts. After the conversation between several people that day, Mrs. Inno specifically explained to Arthur in the basement the reason why she did not express her feelings.
After understanding this, he felt much better. Arthur had been on high alert for the past two days. He saw with his own eyes those private troops in brown military uniforms kidnapped a big man in a corner of the street where people came and went during the day. He had no doubts at all.
The other party broke into a private house and brutally kidnapped the people on the list.
For this reason, Arthur specially asked Eloise and Mrs. Inno to take the Monument of Life to another stronghold of the Hermits. Matthew and Vic Jarvis were responsible for security, leaving only himself and the responsible person in the mansion.
Johns communicated with each other, and they believed that at least the other party would not do anything cruel to Znock, who lived on the first floor.
In the sweaty basement, Arthur and Johns were using the Purity Method to exercise their elemental power characteristics against the sandbags. During this period, Arthur also discovered that Johns was also an ordinary awakened wind wizard. The wizard's out-of-control phenomenon was actually
The problem is that the elemental power accumulated in a certain position of the body affects the Kama in the body. The activity of Kama will corrode and affect the wizard's body. If the elemental power is not stabilized in time, losing control will lead to collapse.
Johns fell to the ground, revealing a somewhat bloated abdomen, which was covered with scars caused by Arthur. He kept complaining about why he had to suffer such pain as a wizard. The intensity of Arthur's exercise was too intense for him, and Arthur
What matters is actual combat, which must be used to digest elemental power. This is a nightmare for Johns, who has always lacked exercise and actual combat experience. He is often punched by Arthur and knocked to the ground before starting to rest.
Arthur simply wiped his hands and was about to laugh at Johns's weak body. Suddenly he frowned and looked at the entrance as if he sensed something. Then Arthur shouted sternly to Johns who was lying there: "You are here.
Don't move, hide, and go straight to Temashu after I'm taken away."
After explaining, Arthur opened the wooden door of the basement and came to the hall on the second floor without any hesitation. There, there were already three brown uniformed soldiers holding repeating muskets searching various rooms. As Arthur walked up the spiral staircase
The moment he came up, three muskets were already aimed at Arthur's head. At this distance, Arthur would not say that he could avoid all injuries. Even iron bullets were enough to injure Arthur. He raised his hands to show that he was not injured.
Any Weapon slowly came to the side of the long table and asked in a low voice: "Are you here to find me?"
The leading soldier held a gun in one hand, opened a piece of parchment with his other hand, and neatly read out the contents on it: "You are Arthur, right... one of the people who went to Nozil City six years ago,
A lightning wizard with strong melee combat ability. He once fought against Savarang, the current lord of Nozil City, and was not at a disadvantage. He also intervened in many unknown incidents. He has a very good resume."
"Thank you for the compliment, please tell me why you are here." Arthur cut off the other party's thoughts of continuing the pleasantries and asked directly.
The soldier put away the parchment, and with two companions holding guns, approached Arthur with his hands raised in the air: "The distinguished Marquis Mozkov. Alexander sincerely invites you to participate in a little game."
"Mozkov? Is that the man who often appears at various charity events and invested in the Leipzig Charity School? "There were no photos in this era, and newspapers would only publish names and news stories. Is Arthur familiar with this name?
Because he had met this short old man with a warm smile when he was attending a charity school. At that time, Mozkov came to express condolences to the children of the charity school and made many touching remarks.
Knowing people but not knowing the truth, the man behind the death game mentioned by Johns is actually such an old man who devotes himself to charity.
"You just tell me the name of this Marquis. Aren't you worried that I will tell others?" Arthur, who had controlled his anger from the beginning of the conversation, continued to test the other party's bottom line. He wanted to know what the other party was relying on. Could it be that
Is there no law in this city?
The three soldiers looked at each other and suddenly laughed loudly: "Since we dare to speak out, we are not afraid of you telling others. What's more, whether you can live or not is a question!"
Arthur gritted his teeth. He hated this condescending tone. He was confident that he could defeat the three soldiers with only minor injuries. However, he smelled a strange aroma wafting from the second floor of the hall, which made him
He became a little more wary again and continued to ask: "Are you here to arrest me because I am a wizard?"
"We don't care whether you are a wizard or a death row prisoner. As long as you have certain abilities, that is our goal. Well, time is running out. We have another family to go to. Do you accept this invitation?"
The words entered Arthur's ears with magic. As the other party spoke, Arthur's vision became blurred and his body became extremely weak. Before he could refuse, he fell on the table and lost consciousness. This
The three soldiers brought not only guns and ammunition, but also a secret weapon that was sure to succeed when the invitees refused.
"Let's put him in a sack. There are twenty people and the last three. This time the Marquis' game is much more interesting than three years ago." A soldier took out another list full of names and wrote them in red ink.
The pen crossed out Arthur's name, and on it, there were also the names of Jace, Nighthawk, and Selvendo the Hungry Tiger. This was the list of twenty participants in the death game.
