Seeing the man in front of him, Matthew felt as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt falling from the sky.
His pupils suddenly shrank like a frightened cat, and the cold hairs all over his body stood up. He grasped the horse's reins tightly with both hands, and the blood vessels on the back of his hands swelled in a terrifying manner. Every muscle in his body was trembling.
He became extremely stiff and his breathing became rapid and heavy.
A year and a half later, the man in front of me has become a completely different person compared to the little handyman from Borabel before.
Back then, he was only 1,560 centimeters tall, only reaching his and Les's shoulders. Even Les' sister Anne was a little taller than him. But now, his height has soared to 100.
About seventy-five centimeters. The whole person is one size larger than before!
In addition to his size, his body shape and appearance have also changed greatly. Although he still looks smaller than the average person of the same age, his body tightly wrapped in composite armor gives people a
A feeling full of youthful vitality and strength.
Just standing there quietly, he can make people involuntarily adopt a defensive posture. It is as if they are facing a gleaming sword about to be unsheathed, a surging glacier, or a cheetah about to pounce!
And his signature big head has become less obvious due to his growth in height and physical maturity. His immature and youthful appearance has become clearer.
If it were a chance encounter on the street, even if he passed by him, it would be difficult for Matthew to recognize him.
Only when he stood there at this moment, calling Matthew's name, with the same black hair, blue eyes and rising flames in his hands, did Matthew's memory continue to extend like a crack in the magma shell split by lightning.
Expand. The past is churning out like hot lava.
Roy! Matthew squeezed out the name he hated so deeply through his teeth. His voice was so deep that he seemed to want to chew the two words into pieces.
There was an uncontrollable commotion among the surrounding crowd. It was as if there was an invisible shock wave, centered on Matthew and Roy, quickly spreading to all directions.
Matthew's identity and Roy's magic shocked everyone on both sides.
Matthew's identity has always been the biggest secret of the Wenger family.
Not to mention that ordinary bandits do not know that this boy is the heir to the Viscount of Wenger. Even most of the members of the guard who joined later do not know their young master. The only people who know his identity are Feige and Juan.
and Matthew's personal bodyguard Duck and others,
But now, he was called out by Roy!
At the same time, Roy's magic also brought an extreme impact to everyone.
When the two flames in his hands rose up, Juan's cold eyes froze for an instant, and his breathing almost stopped. Feige subconsciously aroused his fighting spirit, and the long sword in his hand shook slightly. The bandits and guardsmen beside them
All of them turned pale with horror and instinctively ducked to both sides.
"Magic... magic..." Judy, the mother of the twins, grabbed her husband's arm, her fingers almost pinched into the flesh, and cried out in disbelief, "Oh my God, he is a magician!"
The mercenaries looked at Roy in shock, and then turned their attention to Miki.
The beautiful elf girl clutched her long bow tightly, biting her lip, recalling the brief confrontation with Roy before, her face suddenly turned pale.
Ling Shuang, Ling Xue, Alder, Musi, Fergus, Jin Sen... People stared blankly at the flames in Roy's hands, either shocked or surprised. Especially the magic student, who was stunned.
Staring straight at the ball of fire in Roy's hand, the expression on his face was as if he had seen a living ghost.
"What's wrong?" His companion noticed something was wrong with him and asked nervously.
"He is... a magician!" the magic student's voice trembled.
Magic is a mysterious world that exists outside the lives of ordinary people. In this world, everyone with magical talents is regarded as the darling of God. They turn their hands to call for clouds and rain, and they have possessions that are difficult for people to do.
A terrifying force that we understand and fear.
Therefore, it is difficult for ordinary people to understand the code of conduct, rules and thoughts of people in the magical world. What they see is the nobility, wealth and mystery of the magicians. It is their pale faces, thin bodies, quiet and wise
The arrogance in the eyes and silence.
Only magicians know the rules in this closed world. Just like this student who just stepped into the door of the first-level Langxing mage. When he saw the two fireballs in Roy's hands, all his pride was gone.
Dissipated without a trace. All that was left in my heart was endless awe.
He has the ability to perceive, and he knows that although on the surface, the fireball in Roy's hand is no different from the fireball released by a trainee mage. But in fact, the two fireballs are exploding every minute and every second.
.Countless seven-element arrays emerged from the core of the fireball and exploded. Wave after wave, endless.
But the appearance of the fireball did not change at all.
Because the dexterous and clean hands holding them are constantly compressing them, squeezing them toward the core over and over again. If the fireball released by the trainee mage is a ball of cotton, then at this moment
What floated in Roy's hand were two pieces of thousand-forged fine steel!
No one understands the meaning better than the magic students - that means that Roy's magic power, perception and control of elements have reached a terrifying level. Don't talk about him alone, even if there are ten of them combined
, it’s not that it can’t block the attacks of these two flames.
The magic student's voice was very low, almost like muttering in an unconscious state. However, when the word magician appeared, the people around him turned their heads to stare at him almost at the same time.
"I didn't expect you to remember me, a little person." Roy's voice rang out amid the beeping torches. He stood on the carriage and looked down at Matthew. The flames on his hands followed his fingers like
It undulates and jumps like waves, like two fire demons baring their teeth and claws in a soft cage.
Roy stared at Matthew like he was staring at a prey.
He likes this feeling.
When he was a child, the days of running unscrupulously in the jungle, fighting wild beasts, wrestling with dwarves, fighting with elves, and hunting wild beasts with barbarians have become a part of his body. Every cell in his body is filled with forest.
, sunshine, ice and snow, strong winds, roars and memories of battles.
That's a wild force.
This power was once tightly wrapped up with William's forced demands and Paulabel's life.
He was forced to learn to get along with others, forced to learn to disguise the spikes all over his body with a naive smile, forced to lower his head and speak respectfully, and forced to answer "Yes, sir" over and over again.
"As you command, sir."... If you just look at it from the outside, he has successfully turned himself into an honest boy from the country.
However, only those who truly know him know that the wild nature in his bones has never disappeared. It is like a ball of lava falling into the cold water. When the surface solidifies into a black hard rock, it can be broken open with a hammer.
Can see the fire that can ignite everything.
Now, there are no more constraints.
A year and a half ago, the Fiery cavalry, Matthew, Moon, George, Alex, who invaded Borabel, and the just knight Lev who chased him, together became the hammer that broke open his shell.
When his grandfather William, his best friend Tom and the familiar neighbors of Borabel were ripped away from his life, and when he fell off the cliff and learned about his shameful life experience that was ridiculed by people all over the world, his body was filled with blood.
The wild power has revived and is stronger than ever.
Facing Matthew's gaze, Roy bared his white teeth.
Matthew's hair stood on end. The sharp white teeth of the black-haired boy shone brightly in the firelight, like a monster roaring silently.
This association made Matthew shiver all over. He looked around in panic, and soon found a sense of security in the protection of Duck and the surrounding soldiers.
After rediscovering the fact that he had the advantage, Matthew's expression gradually returned to calm.
He even couldn't help laughing, with a cold and sarcastic expression: "I didn't expect you to be alive. However, you don't seem to be very lucky."
"Really?" Roy said coldly, "I think I'm pretty lucky now. Look, I was just worrying about where to find you, and you just appeared in front of me."
"Catch me out?" Matthew looked around and couldn't help but laugh. He really couldn't understand where Roy got this kind of confidence. Didn't he understand that now he was in a desperate situation? Even if he
No matter how powerful his magic is, can he still kill all the seven or eight hundred people here?!
"Okay, I'm here. What can you do to me?" Matthew raised his chin and said sarcastically: "Kill me? To avenge your blacksmith friend? Or to ask for justice for other untouchables? Zapao
With your current appearance, you are worthy of going against me?!"
Hearing Matthew mention Tom and the lost civilians of Borabel, Roy's eyes half-squinted, his eyes shining with a sharp cold light like knives.
As soon as they saw Roy's gaze, Feige and Dak stood in front of Matthew, one on the left and the other on the right.
"Angry?!" Matthew was startled at first, then frowned, and the expression on his face became more and more ferocious, "A dirty and low-grade bitch, he didn't know the bounds of heaven and earth, and went against that adult. The toad wants to eat swan meat!
You are like shit and you want to take revenge on me, take a good look around you!"
As soon as Matthew finished speaking, dozens of battle rings lit up from the surrounding crowd. Among them were the knights recruited by Wenger and the thieves of the Black Skeleton Bandit Group.
Everyone in the caravan couldn't help but change their expressions in horror. Surrounded by this strong murderous aura, they felt like they were standing on a small raft surrounded by countless bloodthirsty sharks.
Everyone held their weapons tightly and gritted their teeth. When Roy and Matthew were talking just now, they just listened quietly. No one knew when the two of them knew each other.
What kind of grudges are there between them? However, from the conversation, everyone can vaguely understand that there is a grudge between Roy and Matthew. But at the moment, the other side has the upper hand. It is extremely mocking.
Looking at the pale faces of everyone in the caravan, Matthew chuckled sinisterly.
He lightly patted Feige on the shoulder: "Mr. Feige, I'll leave this to you. Remember, even if you don't need the property, you must kill this person. His life is worth more than one million gold coins."
More valuable.”
Upon hearing these words, Feige and Juan's eyes suddenly lit up.
They looked at Roy carefully, and they couldn't figure out what was valuable about this little country bumpkin. But they knew better that Matthew didn't talk nonsense. With this kid's greed, if it weren't for the guy named Roy, he would be worth it.
With so much money, he would never say anything about not wanting the goods!
Indeed, Matthew did not lie.
After experiencing the panic when he first met Roy, he calmed down and discovered to his pleasant surprise that this opportunity was like a pie falling from the sky.
Getting rid of Roy will not only relieve a serious problem, but also give an explanation to the Holy See! With this kid's body and the fact that he is still alive, we can find a perfect excuse!
He could fully imagine what he would get when he took Roy's body back and told the Holy See that he had finally gotten rid of this kid after more than a year of hunting. Not to mention anything else, just the person from the Golden Dragon Family
A word of praise from a young adult can make the Wenger family prosper!
Compared with Roy, the treasures in the caravan are nothing to mention!
Thinking of this, Matthew gently reined the horse and backed away slowly. He raised his head and tutted at Roy, and said regretfully: "I won't accompany you anymore. Of course, after you die, I will collect your body for you."
of."
Matthew still has fresh memories of the scene in the cave where Roy used a level 4 magic to kill everyone except himself and Lev. With his character, of course he would not wait here for Roy to kill his target.
Aim at yourself. Even with the protection of Feige and Dak, it is not completely safe.
The safest place is, of course, outside the formation.
Under heavy protection, Matthew stepped back with a smile on his face. Swish, swish, swish, Mi Qi and Mal'er, who had long been disgusted with his smug look, opened their bows almost at the same time and fired several arrows.
Dang Dang Dang! Feige and Dak jumped up at the same time and pushed away most of the arrows. The arrows that missed were also blocked by the layers of shields of the guards guarding Matthew. Except for a few guards who were attacked by Malt
After paying attention to the grudge arrows, he took a few steps back and let out a muffled grunt. Matthew's skin was not even scratched.
"Hahahaha!" Matthew's laughter became more and more wild and proud, but soon his laughter was interrupted by a violent sound of horse hooves coming from the distance.
"Cavalry!" The bandits turned around in shock, only to see a fire dragon leaping out from the horizon in the distance. The overwhelming torches were galloping towards this side along with the sound of horse hooves that shook the earth!
Matthew's expression changed several times in an instant. He understood that no matter who came, it was not one of theirs. He turned around suddenly and shouted sternly: "Do it!"
Following Matthew's voice, the bandits rushed towards the car array crazily. Dozens of knights and thieves roared, jumping up from the crowd like tigers, with long swords and axes in their hands, and they struck down from the top of their heads.
Even before they got close, people on the convoy could already feel the roaring wind coming towards them!
Viewed from the sky, the inner formation at this moment is like a small rock in the center of a huge wave. The gangsters shouting and shouting all around are like a vicious huge wave, rushing towards the center.
The ferocious face and shining blade formed a picture of a violent group of demons.
In this frenzy, the caravan mercenaries gritted their teeth, and the guards tried their best to stand up straight. Jinson, Alder, Musi and others stared with bloodshot eyes, and the veins on their necks were exposed.
Other civilians who had no fighting ability closed their eyes in despair.
Only two people's eyes were fixed on Roy.
One is Matthew and the other is Fergus!
Among the surging crowds and chaotic weapons, they saw Roy laughing. No one could use accurate words to describe the smile on Roy's face.
It was not ferocious, not joyful, not sad, nor cold. It was a smile as if he had seen his prey fall into a trap. Not to mention Matthew, even Fergus, who was in the same camp as Roy, suddenly felt a strange smile.
A bone-chilling chill creeps up from the back.
Soon enough, at the moment when the bandits were rushing into the car formation, two balls of flames in Roy's hands suddenly rose into the sky, like fireworks, one high and one low, exploding one after another! Each ball of flames exploded one after another.
The fireballs turned into rain of fire all over the sky. The upper layer of fire rain enveloped the entire outer formation, including Matthew, while the lower layer of fire rain enveloped the edge of the inner formation.
"Level 6 magic, Fire Meteor!" In the chaos, the magic apprentice who was preparing a level 4 magic cried out.
Following his screams, the people in the caravan only saw a red fire in front of them. The bandits who were rushing towards them stopped one after another. The ones rushing at the front had no time to stop, and were squeezed by the people behind them.
When he fell into the fire and rain, he instantly turned into a screaming burning man.
Everyone looked at Roy in shock. Before they could recover, they saw Roy grinning ferociously. With a flick of his finger, a blue light bullet sank into the ground.
"This is……"
A ray of blue light traveled rapidly in a ring along the ground outside the inner array. It was as fast as a bolt of lightning, and it had circled around in an instant. Among the wisps of blue light, eighteen light pillars emerged from the ground.
It suddenly rose up into the sky, and then the beam of light split open...
Seeing the scene in front of them, everyone was stunned.
"Magic Pattern Array! Retreat, retreat quickly!"
Juan, who had just stopped in front of the car formation, let out a shrill and frightened roar. His whole face was distorted with extreme horror. Amid the violent roar, he activated his fighting spirit with all his strength, protected his whole body with a halo, and directly
He knocked away the two bandits blocking the road and rushed out of the car array!
At the same time, Feige and Dak also felt the danger. As soon as they saw the eighteen blue lights rising from the ground, and as soon as they felt the terrifying power emitted by the eighteen fifth-level magic cores erupting at full strength, the two instinctively
Protecting Matthew, he ran outside and screamed crazily.
"Let's go, let's go quickly!"
However, both Juan and them moved half a beat too slowly, let alone the ordinary soldiers who were blocked by the rain of fire and were completely at a loss.
"boom!"
Disaster finally struck.
Eighteen loud noises merged into an earth-shattering explosion. Thousands of blue water arrows split by the light beam, like rain streaks in a level 12 storm, made countless horrifying whooshing sounds, exciting
They shot out. In an instant, they were intertwined tightly and cut the world into pieces!
In this streak of flying blue light, countless blood flowers suddenly bloomed.
The bandits who crowded around the inner formation didn't even have any room to dodge.
Their bodies trembled in the sound of popping popping. Their chests, lower abdomen, thighs, heads, necks, and arms were instantly pierced by horrific blood holes in the rain of arrows. Their flesh and blood were torn, and their bones were torn apart.
The shot was broken, and the broken clothes and armor were flying in the air filled with rain of blood and fire.
A robber escaped from the rain of arrows in front of him, but was unable to avoid the rain of arrows crossing from both sides. His body was shaken by the arrows in the air, and when he landed on the ground, he had turned into pulp.
Next to him, a guard from Viscount Wenger tried to use his companion's body to get out of the way. However, the arrow that was enough to penetrate the shield still pinned him and his companion to the wall of the car.
An armed knight of the guard pushed his fighting spirit to the extreme, waving the long sword in his hand, desperately blocking the incoming water arrows. "Bang", as the long sword broke in the endless rain of arrows, a water arrow passed through him
A pool of blood came out of his throat. Several other water arrows cut his body, leaving horrific scars on his body.
Everything was staged repeatedly in this small space. Thousands of water arrows were fired, rain of blood flew, pieces of meat and pieces of cloth formed a hellish scene.
The people in the caravan were completely stupid.
They stared blankly at the unmistakable massacre in front of them. Many people had their hair and clothes stained red by the splattered blood without feeling anything.
This circular space is too narrow, and the water arrows are too dense.
In this specific environment, the crowd of bandits and Wenger Guardsmen were just like a group of lambs locked in the railings of a slaughterhouse.
One after another, the bandits and soldiers fell. The ground was instantly stained red by the flowing blood. The blood merged into a river, flowing along the muddy tunnel. Bodies continued to fall, splashing black and red waves in the blood. And when the splash
When the blood fell again, only a thick layer of foam was seen.
Ouch! The magic student was the first to hold back the nausea in his heart and vomited it out.
As soon as he took the lead, the sound of vomiting suddenly sounded in the car formation. Even Ling Shuang Lingxue turned pale, and her heart was churning. Even if she closed her eyes, it could not be alleviated. The violent screams were like those of wild beasts.
A wailing sound filled their ears.
Massacre, this is the most naked and bloody massacre!
When the arrow rain finally stopped after an unknown amount of time, the entire outer formation had turned into a hell filled with corpses soaked in blood. At least two-fifths of the bandits fell to such a level that no one had ever seen before.
I have seen it before, but I have never even thought about it.
Fergus and the people around him turned to look at Roy with difficulty.
In the night, the young man who personally caused this bloody tragedy stood there quietly. With his black hair, naive expression, beautiful eyes with a hint of confusion, and innocent, simple and fascinating sunny smile
, just like when everyone saw him for the first time.
And when people connect the black-haired boy in front of them with the hellish scene in front of them, and recall that Roy calmly and peacefully set up this trap step by step, and patiently launched it at the end, a kind of creepy feeling follows.
The unraveling of the mystery is on everyone's mind.
Jin Sen's lips trembled, and the muscles on his face twitched. It took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence through his teeth after several struggles.
