Heaven's Formula

Azie was also overturned by the air current, and the familiar smell of rust overflowed from his mouth.He only felt his ears buzzing, and everything in his vision was shaking from side to side.The old mage was lying on his back in the center of the hall, his life and death unknown, while the passage behind him seemed to have been gnawed by dozens of rabid dogs, and even the walls were pitted. The armor was full of holes, and for a moment it was unclear whether it was steel or a paper shell.

He also saw a striking big hole appeared on the wall of the room, and there was another area illuminated by the silver-white moonlight.

Azie finally realized why Master Carmen was so shocked.

The blue shimmering light just now was not a vision, but the reaction of the Villa Misuo when it was attacked!Its disappearance just means that the magic lock has failed, which is why the old mage himself built the force field barrier.

However, the result was unsatisfactory, the barrier was far less resistant than Mystic, so the second attack not only directly shattered the barrier, but also affected the people on standby at the rear.

If he hadn't already walked into the room, and happened to be standing two or three feet away from the mage's side, the attack just now would have been fatal.

Cold sweat broke out on Azie's back in an instant. Although his five senses were still unable to return to normal after being impacted by the explosion, his mind was very clear-the thief's accomplices were brazenly attacking St. Blaine Palace, and the means they used were Some kind of long-range strike weapon!

Wait, these people didn't drag the large-caliber naval guns to the vicinity of the villa, did they!

In his impression, only the artillery on the warship has such an astonishing momentum.

Suddenly, Azie saw the half-beast stumbling up, as if it wanted to jump out of the hole that was blown open on the outer wall.

If she escapes, it will be difficult to catch her again!

He slowly stretched out his hand, pointing the emerald ring on his index finger at the thief.

This is a magic ring worth thousands of gold, which contains a dissociation technique.Even if he is a demonless person, as long as he spends enough money, he can still use powerful magic power!

Azie aimed at the opponent's leg.

If possible, he hoped to catch a living person and learn the instigator behind her.

He pressed the clasp behind the ring—

The gem shattered instantly, and an emerald green light shot straight at the half-beast woman whose back was in the room.

But a huge black wing suddenly swept over, wrapped the woman in it, and blocked the dissociation ray at the same time!

It can't be said that the dissociation technique didn't take effect, it burned a big hole half an arm's width on the wing, but compared to the entire outline of the black wing, this trauma is far from fatal.

Azie's eyes widened in disbelief. He never expected that a dragon descendant as a nobleman would get involved with a half-beast, and even take the initiative to shield the half-beast from harm.

Adult dragons are far more resistant to magic power than other races, and Azie knows that it is impossible to keep the opponent alone.

The black dragon let out a low roar, grabbed the half-beast and jumped into the air, turned around and flew towards the deep night.

The guards in the villa also responded immediately.

Soon, two more dragon descendants changed their shapes and flapped their wings to take off from the courtyard, trying to stop the uninvited guests who fled the villa.

But what greeted them was a series of "sharp arrows" wrapped in lightning!

5Chapter 16 Breaking the law with force

In the small woods two or three miles away from the villa, Xia Fan was performing his best shock technique.

Under the turbulence of the strong electric field, the trees around him had become scorched black and withered, and even the ground emitted bursts of blue smoke.From the perspective of qi, there is no doubt that there is a storm gathering here—a large amount of qi is constantly pouring in, and under the action of will, it is transformed into powerful electric energy.The air is also ionized, and branch-like lightning can be seen appearing out of thin air from time to time, like jumping souls.

Behind Xia Fan are two floating lampposts, which are also his main strike weapons.

"A dragon is flying again!" Qianyan ran towards him with a new lamppost in his arms - for her, the street lamps in the villa were as long as three or four of hers, so she carried the lamppost with one hand all the way. The way he gallops is indescribably weird.Probably no one would have imagined that those street lamps that were firmly fixed on the base could be pulled out by a girl who seemed to be about ten years old, and carried to Xia Fan's side.

In this plan, Qianyan is undoubtedly the most efficient "loader".

"I saw it." Xia Fan stretched out his hands, and put the distant shadow into the gap between his palm and thumb.

Seeing this, Qian Yan quickly threw the lamp post in his hand on the ground, and raised his hands to cover his ears.

The next moment, accompanied by a deafening roar, a lamp post was accelerated to above the speed of sound in a very short time, and projected towards the flying dragonborn——during this process, the iron rod itself was also induced by current Heated, the body showed a red-hot state, so that a bright flame trail was drawn at the moment of launch!

The distance of two or three miles is almost instantaneous.

Before the dragon descendant could fly out of the range of the villa, he was shot down by the sudden sharp arrow. At other times, even if it was a musket, the transformed dragon descendant could resist for a long time, but the arrow was too big.Even though the speed of the lamp post had dropped to less than half when it flew over the mountain villa, the kinetic energy it carried was still not to be underestimated. If Xia Fan hadn't deliberately avoided his body, he would have mainly aimed at non-critical parts such as wings and tail , just taking this blow from the front may directly kill the dragonborn.

When the two dragons were shot down one after another, no one in the villa dared to take off to chase Olina.

The defense of St. Blaine's Palace was completely suppressed by Xia Fan alone.

Even he himself was a little lucky, but fortunately, the territory of the villa was large enough to allow his rescue method to be implemented.

When he learned that the Holy Palace was preparing to drive away guests, Xia Fan thought of using the shock technique to attack the main building of the villa from a distance and create chaos from the outside.

The actual territory of the Holy Palace is nearly a thousand acres, and in order to create a sense of tranquility and isolation, the place where people gather is only a small area in the center, surrounded by woodlands, horse farms and artificial lakes, and there are basically few people at night. Space.

Since mythos are similar to formations, it means that magic power is required to activate and maintain them. When a specific solution is not known, brute force cracking is often the most straightforward choice.

Xia Fan thought very clearly, as long as he dug a hole in the wall and at the same time suppressed any enemies trying to pursue Li, he could create an escape channel for her.

And the mythos' defense was even weaker than he imagined.

After all, it is a villa where the upper classes gather, not a fortress on the front line of war.

Perhaps the founder of the Holy Palace did not expect that this manor located in the upper city of Azure Fort would be attacked by heavy artillery.

Xia Fan's main purpose is to save people, so he deliberately increased the angle of incidence of the lamp post. Once the fan lock is broken down, it will directly penetrate the roof of the third floor and shoot out from the other side of the main building.However, there seemed to be a little accident in the middle. A lamp post was blocked in the room, and the dull bang when it shattered could be heard even two or three places away.

It wasn't until he saw Li An being taken away by Olina in good health that he let out a sigh of relief.

In this era, there are not even searchlights, and once you escape into the night sky, you will be completely invisible.According to the plan, Olina will first climb to a height of [-] feet, completely out of the sight of the pursuers, and then land on the remote dragon pillar platform in the city.In a normal way of thinking, at this time, most people would definitely think that the attacker had gone far away. Even if someone guessed that the attacker might still stay in the city, it would be difficult to think of Olina.

Li, on the other hand, might have been seen in its entirety, after all, the fox demon's big ears were quite easy to distinguish.But as long as you pay attention to it and let Li pretend to go out before going out, the problem should not be too big.In the final analysis, Uzure Castle is a large seaport city with more than 30 residents, and the group of half-beasts is also quite large. It is by no means an easy task to lock Li from it.

"Let's evacuate too." Qianyan said after confirming that Olina could no longer be found, "The pursuers will search for it later."

In fact, from the first firing to the present, there was only a short period of tens of breaths. Even if someone could notice the abnormal fire in the woodland, there was absolutely no time to intercept them.

Xia Fan nodded, and followed her back into the woods.

……

A quarter of an hour later, Formy Cracktooth rushed into the wooded area with a large group of guards.

After a short search, they found a curious clearing.

"My lord, this is..." The accompanying police officer couldn't help covering his nose.

"Well, it seems that the clues provided by the villa are correct, the assailant used the spell here." Fumi looked around, secretly amazed in his heart.I saw that the surrounding trees were all withered, and the land also emitted a rotten smell. At first glance, it looked like it had been swept by necromancy.

"Could it be that the murderer is a necromancer?" As soon as the words came out, everyone's expressions suddenly became quite ugly. The necromancer school is not only the target of the Church of the Sun God's extermination, but also listed as a prohibited field of research among the mages. Said to be the enemy of life.Also because of the multi-party suppression, the necromancers who survived are all very skilled, and they are the number one enemy of law and order in any city. If something happens, it will definitely be a big deal.And the first to face the threat are obviously these guards.

"Not necessarily." Fumi knelt down and stuck his hands into the dirt.

Even in summer, he could still feel the heat contained in the soil.

After digging for a while, he squeezed out a limp earthworm from under a rock.The latter was flushed all over and had no signs of life anymore, but the whole body remained basically intact, not as if he had been drained of flesh and blood by necromancy.

"Sure enough," Formy sniffed the earthworm closely, "it's not so much killed by necromancy as it was roasted by high temperature."

"Roasted?" The police officer was surprised, "You mean that there was a fire in the woods? But according to the clues provided by the villa, only people here have witnessed the flash of strange sparks, and there is no sign of fire. And... If it's a wildfire, it's supposed to spread through the woods, not just within a twenty-foot circle."

"That's the problem." Formy mused. "The heating here seems to start from the inside of the object."

"From... inside the object?" Hearing the words of the boss, the police officer shuddered for no reason.

5Chapter 17 Legendary Mage

Furmi was not surprised by this reaction at all. People's first reaction is always fear and fear when faced with things that are difficult to understand with common sense.

To be honest, he didn't want to take on such a case.St. Blaine's Palace is a very special place in the Azure Castle. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a city within a city-they not only have their own defense force, but also have a set of rules that only take effect in the villa. Those who dare to commit crimes here are usually silently dealt with internally.When they notified the police station and asked Azure Castle's defense force to intervene, it showed that the matter was quite troublesome, and it was too troublesome for the Holy Palace to solve alone.

The strange scene at the scene also confirmed this guess step by step.

He couldn't even tell what kind of demon possessor the attacker was in the first place.

Formy looked east through a bunch of withered tree trunks, and the outline of the main building of the villa was clearly discernible.A distance of more than two miles is neither far nor close, at least he has never heard of a spell that can easily break a mythal on this scale.

What's more, the description on the side of the villa is "as if it has been bombarded by heavy artillery", which is even more puzzling.

"My lord, we found something unusual over there." A subordinate suddenly reported.

"Oh?" Fumi turned his head away, "Take me to see."

Not far away, two broken and slender iron pillars came into his field of vision.

He looked at it for a moment before he realized that it seemed to be a kerosene lamppost.

This thing is made of pig iron, the price is not low, and the cost of use is also high. Only a few places in Azure Castle can afford it.There are obvious deformation marks on the bottom of the lamp holder, as if it was pulled directly from the base.

"We have checked, and these lampposts are all from the roadside outside the forest." The subordinate continued, "A total of six are missing on both sides of the road, but no footprints or traces of trailers were found between the two places."

Fumi couldn't help frowning.

He bent down, hugged a lamppost with both hands and lifted it up slowly, the huge weight caused his body to sink slightly.If he didn't turn into a dragon shape, it would definitely be extremely difficult for him to go back and forth between the road and the woods with such a heavy thing.

It is understandable not to leave footprints-a little professional thieves know how to remove their whereabouts, but it is more inconceivable to have no traces of trailers.

It is obviously easier to drag one end of the lamp post than resist it on the shoulder. Unless someone is strong enough to ignore this difference, there should be more or less traces left on the scene.

And the other party not only did this, but also went back and forth six times in a row?

Faced with this incredible situation, Fumi didn't know what to do for a while.

"My lord, what are they doing here with the lamppost?" asked the deputy.

"Think about it. Such dead objects must have been collected for important purposes." Fumi pondered, "There are a total of six lampposts, and there are only two left at the scene, which means that the attackers used four of them. .As for their use..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly froze.

——The villa seems to have been bombarded by heavy artillery?

"No way..." he murmured.

"My lord?" The police officer looked at his boss.

"This thing is the 'weapon' for attacking the Holy Palace!" Fumi whispered, "In order to cover the escape of the companions, the attackers threw these street lamps towards the villa, and every blow was like a shell from the shell!"

"From here... into the villa?" The police officer's expression seemed to be listening to the Arabian Nights, "Is that something that humans can do?"

"Humans absolutely can't do it, but they might be able to do it with the help of spells." Fumi felt his throat a little dry, "For example, summoning spells can attract some exotic creatures, which cannot be treated with common sense...but once such dangerous things appear in the world It is almost impossible to get them to go back obediently, so I prefer that the other party is a magician of the transformation system, and is proficient in spells such as force field or strengthening."

"But it's impossible for ordinary transformation masters to do this, right?"

The answer to the question is obvious. If any apprentice in the mage tower can use the lamppost as a cannon to start a battle, then all the cities in the world will be useless, and the warships galloping on the ocean will not need to be equipped with those old gunpowder weapons. up.

Even taking two steps back, even if half of the mid-level mages can cast such amazingly powerful spells, even the status of the dragonborn will be in jeopardy.

Compared with the truth of the case, Fumi wished that the other party was not a purebred human.

If it was a dragonborn mage, his heart would be much more peaceful.

"Indeed, you are right." He nodded, "Based on my understanding of spells, such spellcasters are usually called legendary mages."

……

In the early morning of the next day, Formy handed over the investigation report to His Excellency the lord.

"A legendary mage, a half-beast, and a dragon descendant attacked St. Blaine's Palace together?" Earl Cleveland rubbed his forehead after reading the report, telling him emotionally that this combination was absolutely impossible, but rationality made him He had to accept this conclusion—you must know that the Cracked Tooth family has worked for Azure Castle for generations, and their experience in investigating cases is unparalleled, and the Formy Cracked Tooth in front of him is one of the best, with a 30-year-old At a young age, he took over the duties of his parents and took the top spot in the police department. "Where will this group of people go after that?"

"Going west through the woods, you can return to the most prosperous neighborhood in the city within a mile. When I arrived there, the attackers had disappeared."

"Well... what is their purpose?"

"We don't know yet." Fumi said frankly, "I only know that they once invaded Azio Lumen's private room."

"Azie again?" The count smacked his lips, he didn't like the bald guy with rings on his hands at all.The rise of this person was as swift as a storm, and within ten years he had consolidated nearly half of the commercial firms and factories in Azure Fort, during which there were at least dozens of murders and disputes.It was only because of the generous taxes paid by the other party that he let the police department turn a blind eye to it. "What I want to know most now is, is it possible that this group of people is the real culprit in the abduction case of the Son of the Holy Spirit?"

If it was a legendary mage who committed the crime, it would be perfectly reasonable to wipe out a church convoy before meeting each other.

"I think at this point..."

"No, they definitely didn't do it." Rathin Cracktooth said suddenly.

"Oh? Can you say that?" The earl glanced at the harbor defense officer. They are both dragon descendants of the Cleftfang family, and Ratherin and Formy are completely different from each other.He was appointed to manage the coastal defense because Ratherin's combat strength is acceptable, but he is not trustworthy at all when it comes to mobilizing his brain.

"Uh...Your Excellency, I'm just guessing." Latherin coughed several times, "After all, the behavior styles of these two groups are very different."

Fumi looked at his cousin in surprise, he had the impression that the other party rarely made such a judgment, "Tell me in detail."

"That... I got the news from my own channel, maybe it's not accurate." Lassein licked his lips, and replied bravely, "The casualties in the Holy Palace... So far, it should not be many. ?”

Chapter 548 The City in the Vortex

"According to statistics, four people were seriously injured and six guards were killed." Fumi flipped open the notepad in his hand, "It's true that the number of people is not many, but the Holy Palace has not encountered such a loss for a long time."

"Then if a legendary mage really wants to kill, will only six people die in the Holy Palace?" Lassein continued, "You said just now that the other party used two lampposts to blast away the west wall of the main building protected by a mystical lock." , if two more lampposts are thrown over, the consequences will probably be completely different."

Fumi's heart moved, "You mean, the attackers are deliberately reducing the casualties of the Holy Palace?"

He found that his cousin's statement was not unreasonable.

Judging from the losses after the investigation, a lamp post can easily penetrate any unprotected house in the villa. If the other party intends to kill someone and lower the angle of incidence, a penetrating shot from the second floor to the third floor is enough to cause several times more damage. This kill.
