Ten days ago, the Magic Academy began to study a healing spell, which uses a lot of human organs every day. This kind of research that is harmful to the dead is not easy to do during the day, because it is easy for most students to know, so it is done at night.
So every night at night, Asa would pull up a cart of corpses and organs and send them from the west of the city to the Magic Academy in the center of the royal capital.
The evening itinerary these past few days has also opened his eyes. He has been in the royal capital for two months, and he has never gone out at night. He thought that the nights in every place were the same as in his hometown, silent, except for the occasional sound.
Roosters crow and dogs bark. If it's a moonless night, you must bring a torch or lantern when you go out, in case you step into a paddy field cesspit or fall so bruised that you can't get up until daytime the next day before being carried back home.
What lights up the night in the capital is not the moon in the sky, but the countless lights on the streets. The lights and noise in the pubs will last until the early morning of the next day. Women in dazzling clothes stand on the roadside and warmly greet passers-by, while drunkards are crooked.
They walked on the street, and from time to time they rushed into the alleys and vomited. The luxurious carriage sped by, stopped in front of the mansion, and several noble men and women got off or picked up.
People here at night seem to have endless energy and endless money. They use singing, dancing, wine, food, and banquets to make themselves excited and happy, as if tomorrow is the end of the world, and they don’t hesitate to spend all their lives on it.
In exchange for a little bit of crazy pleasure tonight. Asa didn't know why these people had this illusion.
But he didn't want to explore. Even walking on the same streets every day, he felt completely out of place, as if he had stepped into a strange world ruled by unknown creatures. The people here also tried to ignore him.
Even if a drunk occasionally stops him and wants to cause some trouble, once he sees his face, he will immediately run away.
Every day he came back from the magic academy very late. He had to wait for the research to be completed and write down the organs and limbs to be used the next day.
The location of the Duke's Palace was not far from the Magic Academy. He would pass by there every night.
It has been half a month since Xiaoyi came back. But the wanted persons are still there, and the arrests by the Royal Capital Guards have become a routine matter.
Did she not explain it to her father? Or did she also think that I deserved to die? Did she know that her injuries were actually caused by me? Am I just going to be a wanted criminal for the rest of my life? Asa was very depressed during this period.
The research last night went on for a long time and was not completed until the early hours of the morning. Asa took the list, dragged the empty cart, and walked on the empty streets. In the entire capital, only the area around the Magic Academy was quiet. No matter how crazy those people were
, and don’t dare to go crazy to the church.
Some distance away from the Duke's Palace, he saw two luxurious carriages. Five men and one woman in gorgeous clothes were standing outside the carriages, and there was a noise.
This was a common scene in the royal capital at night, and Asa paid no attention to it and continued walking in the darkness. It wasn't until he got closer that he recognized the woman by the light of the carriage.
I saw him in the motorcade escorting Xiao Yi. Next to Clovis, he had the same smiling eyes, light and thin lips, and similar appearance to Xiao Yi. He was probably her sister.
Now her sister was wearing a set of extravagant clothes, her hair was tied in a more exaggerated pattern than her clothes, and she was arguing with a few young men who could tell they were nobles just by looking at their clothes. As she spoke, she seemed to be heading towards the Duke's Palace.
Xiaozizi took her hand, as if begging her, and she turned around and continued to say a few words loudly, then slapped Xiaozizi in the face with a loud slap. Xiaozizi was angered, and the two started fighting.
This is also a common scene in the royal capital at night. The young men and women of the aristocracy always like to fight for no reason, probably because they have nowhere to vent their energy. This is also a common feature in their lives. Asa still takes care of himself.
In the shadows of the street.
Pigtail seemed to be very angry and struck hard. She was not like her sister at all. She actually fell down after being punched on the head several times. Several men nearby supported her, and Pigtail seemed to be one of these men.
The leader ordered them to carry her into the car. Several men hesitated and scolded her loudly.
Asa had already walked across the street from them and heard clearly. The pigtail said: "What are you afraid of? Now that I'm in love with her, can the Duke still eat me? He would have no shame if he made a fuss. In the end, he didn't just have to kill her."
Will this bitch marry me?"
Regardless of whether this is a common scene, we can't ignore it. Asa suddenly shouted: "Put her down, I'll go to the Duke's Mansion to call someone." Generally speaking, this kind of person has a guilty conscience and will run away after scaring them.
.
But these few people are obviously not ordinary people, and they don't think that they are being thieves, so they are naturally honest. The little braid angrily shouted righteously: "Who is it?" The groom in the car said
He shook the torch and said, "He seems to be the hunchbacked assistant of old Sandro in the west of the city." Asa is now a celebrity, no matter what his identity is.
Little Pigtail stumbled over, waved to Asa and said, "Don't be afraid, come here, I'll tell you..." As he got closer, Asa just smelled the smell of alcohol, and Little Pigtail
Suddenly he took out a dagger from his arms and stabbed him in the chest, shouting: "I told you to call someone."
Halfway through the stabbing with the knife, Pigtail felt his wrist tighten and twist, and his hand seemed to be gone. A sharp pain that he had never experienced in his life pushed a scream from the bottom of his heart to his throat, but the timely pressure on his Adam's apple
A dull pain knocked back the scream. In the end, he could only let out a grunt from his nose that was similar to that of a pig before it was suffocated to death, and then fell to the ground and twitched.
The first twist of his wrist was purely a conditioned reflex, but the second cut of his throat with the edge of his palm was a last resort. Compared to these guys, he was even more guilty and afraid of being discovered by the people in the Duke's Palace.
When several other men saw this, they wanted to come over to help, but they were stopped by the drivers on the two carriages: "You are no match, don't go there." The two carriage drivers drew their swords from their waists and rushed over together.
As soon as Asa saw the postures of the two coachmen drawing and holding their swords, he knew that they were not just ordinary coachmen. After dodging the two swords, the lame man could no longer pretend and did not dare to hunch his back. He moved and dodge with all his strength. These two
He's actually a pretty powerful swordsman, probably Pigtail's bodyguard or something...
Finally finding an opportunity, Asa rolled and crawled out of the surroundings of the two men, tore off his cloak and threw it towards a nearby swordsman.
The swordsman cut the cloak into two pieces with a single strike. He was indeed a very experienced warrior and did not dodge or give in. The most important thing in this situation where you have an advantage is to press the opponent tightly and not give him a chance to breathe and adjust.
After cutting open the cloak, the swordsman saw a ball of red light in front of him. Before he knew what it was, a fireball exploded on the bridge of his nose.
This is just a small fireball for beginners. It is not very powerful. It is about the same as a few extra-large firecrackers tied together. It will never explode the head. At most, it will just blow the bridge of the nose to pieces.
There was a crash. A cloud of sparks exploded on the swordsman's face, which looked very beautiful in the darkness. The swordsman also fell backwards beautifully.
Asa picked up half of the cloak on the ground and threw it towards another swordsman. At the same time, he raised and waved his hand and chanted loudly in a curse tone. In fact, it was a curse word used by the dwarves in his hometown. With him,
It is simply impossible to use magic continuously at such a level.
The swordsman hurriedly lowered his head, lowered himself, and rolled backwards neatly. As soon as he got up, he found that half of the cloak had flown in front of him, and one part of it suddenly bulged out quickly and hit his chin.
.Then he clearly heard the crisp sound of bones breaking, a scream, and fell to the ground.
Asa himself found it a bit incredible to actually knock down two swordsmen like this. He hadn't moved his muscles and bones for so long, and his skills didn't show any signs of sluggishness.
He walked towards the carriage, and when the firelight illuminated his face clearly, several young people shouted: "Monsters!" and fled in all directions.
"Wow." With a scream, the girl suddenly jumped out of the carriage and fled to the Duke's Palace. It turned out that she was not knocked unconscious and had been watching.
Afraid that someone might hear the sound and come over, Asa hurriedly picked up his cloak from the ground, picked up the empty cart, and fled into the darkness.
Early the next morning, the Duke's Palace.
Completely breaking from her usual habit of sleeping until the afternoon, Chris actually got up early and had breakfast with her father in the restaurant.
She barely slept, and spent the whole night tossing and turning in the memory of that bizarre experience, which was more exciting than alcohol.
Although the beaten eye was still bruised, it could not affect her excitement at all. She happily told her father about the bizarre experience last night: "Dad, you know that those two bodyguards are top-notch.
But he was like a child under that person. When that person waved his hand, it was actually magic. He could also use magic, and he blew everyone away." She straightened her body and imitated the sword in an exaggerated way.
The soldier fell down.
Duke Mrak frowned slightly. He had always been disgusted with his daughter being with a bunch of dandy boys, doing nothing and misbehaving, and this time he almost caused trouble. But now he couldn't separate himself to educate his daughter.
Occasionally, when I have the opportunity, I will explain it carefully, but at my daughter's age, especially with her personality, it is obvious that she cannot explain it with reason.
Chris danced and gestured: "Then the guy went up and punched someone, and the other guy lay down. It was just one punch. Last time that guy helped us beat someone up, he got stabbed several times, but nothing happened.
What's going on?"
"But as soon as the man came over and we saw his face clearly, several other people immediately ran away in fright. I was also startled. I don't know where I got the strength to run back. Because that man was really too big.
Ugly, so ugly." Chris's mood fell into a low point after saying these ugly words, and she shook her head in disappointment. It's a pity that this ugly man saved her, not a man wearing gold armor.
A handsome boy with long hair.
Duke Mulak swallowed a piece of bread and picked up a glass of milk. He still had to let his daughter go out to exercise, see the outside world, and taste the ups and downs of life. After all, only by experiencing it can people truly grow up.
.
"This ugly man is really strange. When my sister first came back, he was lying on her car trying to see her. At that time, he was still lame and his back was hunched. Last night, he suddenly stopped being lame.
, even if you straighten your back, you are quite tall, but it’s a pity that it is too ugly.”
There was a click, and the cup shattered in Duke Mulak's hands.
The Duke slowly turned around and stared at Chris, asking: "What did you say? What happened to that person when your sister came back?"
Chris saw a look in her father's eyes that she had never seen before, and suddenly felt frightened. She whispered: "That man climbed into my sister's carriage, and my brother-in-law almost killed him."
"Why didn't he take action then?" The Duke's voice seemed to be talking to himself.
"I don't know. I heard many people say that that ugly guy is the assistant of an old man named Sandro in the west of the city. I heard them say that last night too."
Duke Mrak stood up and said, "Go and stay with your sister. I'll go out for a while."
Chris asked very carefully: "Sister's doctor is coming soon, where are you going?"
Duke Mrak wiped his mouth, walked out of the restaurant quickly without looking back, and said: "I want to personally thank the hero who saved my daughter."
