In an instant, the entire area was shrouded in a black fog that made it invisible. The horrified shouts and shouts were mixed with countless slight sounds caused by high-speed movement. From time to time, there were short and crisp sounds of metal clashing and...
The sound of shattering buildings and the occasional flash of light were unable to tear through this oppressive darkness, and were quickly covered up and swallowed up.
In the endless darkness, a ball of light burned above. Inside the flame was a slender palm. The soft light illuminated the girl's delicate face. Her big eyes had turned silver, and her whole body exuded an intimidating aura.
Under the light flames, you can see several ghostly figures wrapped in the slowly black mist flying closer. Eliza's sweet voice sounded: "Light Explosion!"
The soft flame suddenly became extremely dazzling and exploded suddenly. Ghostly figures fell out one after another as if struck by thunder. The body of the black mist became much thinner, and some of the mist even burned with white flames.
Come, accompanied by shrill screams.
With this strike, the light exploded, and the surrounding thick black mist was like snowflakes meeting fire, quickly dissipating under the force field of the light explosion. The black shadows were suddenly unable to hide and fled in all directions.
The black fog completely disappeared, and the nearby lights gradually resumed illumination. However, many people were in a mess, and collapses could be seen everywhere. The ground was covered with bloodstains and cracks. It took a long time before the situation was brought under control.
"Damn Dark Sky! Miss! Are you okay!" Wesley, who was responsible for guarding Eliza, already had a big sword in his hand, and there was blood dripping from the sword.
Eliza landed slowly, shook her head and said, "I'm fine, Uncle Wesley, how are you?"
"Roy's injury is very serious. The wound seems to be poisonous and needs to be treated with purification immediately. The other two suffered minor injuries and are not serious."
Before Wesley finished speaking, Solandon's horrified voice rang out: "Oh my God! Mana!"
Then he saw Mana's pudgy figure lying on the ground. There was a dagger stuck in his back, and black blood was flowing all over the floor.
A faint milky white light appeared in Solandon's hand, wrapping Mana. However, Mana remained motionless.
Wesley lowered his body to take a look and shook his head: "Don't waste your magic power. This knife has completely shattered his internal organs and completely annihilated his life. Even if the dagger is not poisonous, it is impossible to save him.
"
In light magic, there is the ultimate "resurrection". It can restore the annihilated life and body. It is more powerful than the resurrection potion, but there is a certain probability. Not only that, this magic requires
It is extremely high and cannot be practiced by those who are not talented, and the caster will pay a huge price. It is said that in the entire White Cliff, except for the Pope, only the Saint of Light has this power.
Although Elisa is a disciple of the Saint, she does not have the ability to cast the resurrection spell, let alone a small character like Mana.
Wesley's words made Solandon completely despair. Mana was his cousin. He was also a member of the same camp. The fat man was quick-witted and accepted the assignment from a certain big shot above. He did not hesitate to lie dormant in a small place like Gudan Town for many years, doing
He has made a lot of "political achievements", and now is the time to take off. After successfully hooking up with Eliza, becoming the Metropolitan of Yangshao King is just around the corner, but he didn't expect to suffer such an unexpected death!
Not only did the big man's plan fail, but Mana died in Garden City. As the head of the church, Solandon also has an unshirkable responsibility. During such a sensitive period, once a hostile faction seizes the opportunity to exploit the situation, it is very likely that
He will also become a sacrificial pawn.
"Pastor Marner was stabbed to death?" Elisa frowned as she treated Roy's poisonous wounds. "Did the assassin survive?"
Wesley looked at the assassins' bodies on the ground that began to melt automatically. He shook his head: "This is a strict professional organization. Judging from the assassination just now, Mana's death should not be accidental."
"No matter what," Elisa stood up slowly, her eyes falling on the fat City Lord who rushed over to check Mana's body: "City Lord Kraut, you should give me and the church an explanation."
Although he had not been hurt just now, Kraut's body was soaked in cold sweat at this moment, usually because of the fright he received from the assassination just now, usually because of the fear he felt now.
This time he invited Elisa, Solandon and others to the banquet, the purpose was to resolve the impact of the last candidate Bright Knight incident. Although Solandon was only the head of a city-level church, he was under the control of the city lord.
But behind Solandon is the Church of Light. The Church of Light is the spokesperson of the God of Light and the undisputed "guide" of the human world. Its divine authority even overrides the monarchy of any empire or kingdom.
The relationship between Kraut and Solandon has never been very harmonious, but the real reason for joining Lord Walli's attack this time is Tenisiu's promise to change someone to control the church in Garden City. In terms of cooperation and interests,
There will be a huge leap forward. To Fatty City Lord's surprise, Tenisiu, despite all his calculations, actually missed a small beast master "Richard". It can also be said that Solandon's miraculous reversal
After witnessing the situation, Kraut regretted it deeply.
The invitation this time was intended to send a positive signal and repair the relationship with Solandon. Secondly, it was also intended to please the saint's disciple, the Cardinal's niece, Miss Elisa. However, it was in his own territory.
, such a terrible assassination incident occurred, and a local leader of the church died. If this incident becomes serious, his position as the city lord may not be preserved.
"Miss Elisa,... I really didn't know that this would happen..." the Lord of Fatty City said incoherently, completely losing his usual eloquence.
"Dagger Brotherhood!" Solandon suddenly remembered something and called out, "Mana was assassinated twice by the Dagger Brotherhood on the way to Garden City. This should be the third time!"
"I have heard of this organization," Elisa said thoughtfully: "But if you are just dealing with Pastor Mana, it is impossible to choose this time to attack. Mana is probably just a sideshow, and I am their main target.
"
When the fat city lord heard this, he woke up like a dream and quickly agreed: "Yes, no matter what, this damn assassin organization will definitely be involved! I will definitely do my best to investigate this matter and report it to the royal capital to remove the daggers in the territory.
The fraternity will be uprooted!"
Regardless of whether it was the work of the Dagger Brotherhood or not, we need to find someone who is responsible for this matter as soon as possible, and stabilize Eliza first. As for who is the instigator behind this, and what is the purpose?
The problem of the deep water area with technical content should be left to the church itself. With this in mind, the Fatty City Lord immediately ordered the manor to be sealed off. He also expanded the scope of the search to the entire Garden City, and strictly investigated unknown persons. In fact, Garden City is so big, and those assassins
The strength and means are so great that it is definitely difficult to find out any results by relying on the guards alone. This move is more of a gesture.
Now that Mana is dead, this meal will definitely be unbearable. The people in the church must be stabilized first. The fat city lord offered a large sum of money to comfort and appease the people in the church, while arranging manpower to clean up the scene.
However, unexpected changes happened again.
Elisa was listening casually to the compliments of the fat city lord, when she suddenly felt a strong crisis, like a frog locked by a poisonous snake. This feeling had no warning in advance, and was completely born out of the battle instinct that has been tempered for many years. At this moment
.Chen Rui's voice rang out: "Miss Eliza, watch your back!"
Behind Elisa was a short guard who was cleaning up the corpse. However, it was this inconspicuous guard who suddenly burst out with terrifying murderous intent the second after Chen Rui shouted.
No one could have imagined that after the assassination, there would be a second assassination! In other words, the previous ones were just feints, and this one was the real killer!
The target of murderous intent is none other than Eliza!
In an instant, everyone felt that the entire sky seemed to have turned into a sea of blood. It was full of killing and death. Everyone was affected by the terrible pressure. It was difficult to breathe and their bodies were almost unable to move. In comparison, what happened just now
The suppression of the dark sky is just a child's trick. This is just the residual influence of the murderous spirit!
A stream of light, carrying a terrifying will to die, swept toward the heart of Elisa's back at an indescribable speed. Elisa felt the threat of death, and the hairs all over her body stood up, and her eyes were filled with silver light.
A powerful spiritual power burst out. At the critical moment of life and death, Elisa no longer had any power to hide.
Everyone centered around her was knocked away by the powerful repulsive force, except for the will of death.
Liuguang just paused for a moment, and then hit Eliza's vest hard without any abatement. But at this time, Eliza had already used this precious pause time to lean forward to unload her force, which not only weakened the impact of the blow.
strength, and moved the vital points.
Even so, Eliza still couldn't completely avoid the blow, spitting out a mouthful of blood, which actually penetrated a hole in the ground.
After Eliza was hit, she twisted around violently, turned her palm into a knife, and threw her arm out like a whip. The "guard" behind her was unable to stop herself, and was hit on the left shoulder by this palm knife.
, immediately groaned and flew out.
A large fan-shaped crack appeared on the ground, extending for nearly ten meters in an instant. Several tall pillars within the area were shattered and collapsed by the invisible aftereffects. The entire bodies of the guards who had no time to dodge exploded. It can be seen that this
The power contained in the strike.
After the assassin missed the blow, he seemed to know that it would be difficult to do anything, so he decisively chose to retreat. With the power of Eliza's blow, he had already escaped into the darkness in a few blinks.
Eliza covered her right breast, showing a painful expression, spitting out another mouthful of blood, and shook her body: "Wesley, hurry up, take me back to the church, and let Paul help me heal my injury!"
The Knights of Light quickly protected Eliza and returned to the church. Solanton and Chen Rui followed closely with a group of monks, leaving only the Lord of the City, who was sweating coldly, standing there, at a loss.
On the other side, a short and thin figure wearing a guard service covered his left shoulder and flew away quickly in the night. Suddenly, the figure stopped and looked behind him alertly, but found nothing unusual.
Just after the assassin turned around, he suddenly saw a figure in front of him. His facial features were very hazy, and only his eyes were blazing, seeming to exude a faint aura of destruction.
