Chapter 112 The Cloak Under the Shadow

"What the hell is this place?"

Roland was a little dazed, but soon remembered.

It's a maze!
Flandre College once organized high-ranking mages to cast this spell on apprentices. Roland's predecessor once experienced a 10-minute trip to the maze and prison in the alien world!
This is a kind of space magic that can temporarily exile people to a different dimension. It is characterized by infinite breadth, like a void in the dimensional space, where the force field planes form walls and build a scene like gray building blocks.

The size and complexity of this kind of maze formed by the condensed magic power is not a permanent facility, but it can effectively trap the target and play a vital role in specific occasions.

It's like saying now...

"what!"

Suddenly, screams woke Roland up.

Scudder and Egwene were also taken aback.

Not far away, a person possessed the "obscure technique", poured a bottle of potion, raised his sword and slashed.

Two of the ordinary guards around the prince and princess were killed before they could react, and the maid next to them was still yelling.

The royal knight stood up and blocked the assassin's sharp sword.

"It turned out to be you, why? Why did you betray?"

The prince's guard knight grieved.

The other party did not answer, and concentrated on attacking.

With the blessing of the magical aura, his movements became extremely agile, and the "obscure technique" blessed by him was also working.

Several times, the guard knight's sword edge approached, and it seemed to have hit it, but it still slipped past.

The hazy figure hindered his correct cognition, and there will always be a certain degree of deviation in the attack. Coupled with the opponent's extreme agility, there may be a buff effect such as "cat elegance" added, even if the sword is superior. Useless.

While blocking and counterattacking, the guard knight tried to take out the potion from his pocket.

However, under the repeated persecution of the other party, it turned out to be dangerous.

In desperation, he could only refocus his attention, fight and retreat, and look for another good opportunity.

Princess Rosa's female knight quickly retreated to the side of the two highnesses, trying to cover them and find a way out.

"The assassins are their own subordinates, and judging from the "maze technique" that deliberately separated Leon, they definitely colluded with outsiders. "

"Leina Kingdom itself is at a low magic level, and does not have many spells and magic equipment."

Roland protected Scudder and Egwene and was on guard.

Suddenly, the mutation regenerated.

Beside the female knight, a sharp edge flashed.

Someone stepped out of nowhere and stabbed her with a dagger in his hand!
If he hadn't dodged sideways at the critical moment, he might have been killed on the spot by this blow.

"It's invisibility!"

Seeing that the female knight was bleeding and the prince and princess were in danger, Roland frowned slightly.

There was another assassin at the scene?
The female knight waved her sword reluctantly, forced the assassin back, and then retreated to cover the prince and princess.

There were only a few carriages on the scene. When the battle started, the grooms and ordinary attendants ran away in fright, but they were trapped inside the wall and could not escape. Only Roland and the others calmly guarded, and they became invisible in the eyes of the female knight. Life-saving straw.

The assassin continued to chase without hesitation.

"careful!"

Rosa exclaimed, because the female knight staggered and lost her balance, was wounded again and again by the assassin, and then kicked away.

The targeted prince and princess immediately faced immediate and immediate threat.

Roland raised the command staff that was used as a civilization stick, and chanted the spell to summon monsters.

With the emergence of magic light, a lemur stopped in front of the assassin.

The assassin was stopped, and spent a few seconds wandering away, wiping the throat of the inferior demon, only to find that the prince and princess had come to Roland and the others.

"Ro...Mr. Roland!"

Silaire and Rosa nervously asked for help.

"Atlantis, damn it!"

There was anger in the assassin's eyes, and he rushed forward with unconcealable hatred.

Roland had never experienced actual combat, but he didn't panic at all.

Because he has his own confidence.

Although I have prepared most of the spells as spells learned in daily life such as "Scholar's Enthusiasm", "Language Proficiency", and "Scribing", resulting in a lack of combat ability.

But I can't stand the extra rewards, and the quota given by Lunifus!

He has also prepared for the Seris Power Word series.

"!"

As Roland uttered the truth, Mana's power formed an impact, offsetting the assassin's momentum.

At this critical juncture, the 0-level "Seris Power Word: Retreat", because of its short spells and extremely fast casting, successfully played a miraculous effect.

"!"

Roland raised his staff again, pointing the tip at his opponent.

As if being pushed, the assassin staggered back again.

"!"

The third "retreat" strikes again!
Back back back!

Even if they were all at level 0, when Roland prepared the same spell and had three consecutive qualities, he forced a living person back again and again.

The assassins were almost dumbfounded.

Taking this opportunity, Roland found an opportunity to use other means, lightly stroked the dragon transformation ring worn on his left middle finger, and let out a roar that was not human-like.

"Dragon Transfiguration"!
He transformed into a juvenile golden dragon, standing up with a burly body more than two meters tall, actively approaching the skinny assassin, bringing suffocating pressure.

The assassin trembled, and his momentum stopped.

In a hurry, he swung his arm and stabbed Roland in the chest.

But the sharp blade was resisted by the scales, like a chain mail, causing the tip of the dagger to slash sideways.

This weapon does not have special power attached, nor is it those expensive magic equipment, so it cannot break the defense at all!
Roland raised his wide dragon palm and slapped it fiercely.

puff!
The assassin spat out blood, his whole body flew two meters sideways, and fell to the ground on the spot.

"it is good!"

Seeing this scene, Scudder and Yiwen couldn't help applauding.

After transforming into a young golden dragon, Roland's strength was comparable to that of a troll. Not to mention an ordinary strong man, even a professionally trained warrior might not be able to bear this slap.

Roland calmly waited for the man to struggle tenaciously, get up again, and suddenly run wildly.

During the charge, Tieshan leaned against him.

This collision took two and a half years of skill!

Everyone heard the obvious sound of bones breaking, the assassin's chest and ribs were broken, his body flew up again, and then fell heavily to the ground, unable to move anymore.

"It's finally resolved."

Roland glanced around, quickly skipped over the trembling servants and grooms, and turned to the other side, but was slightly startled.

The prince's guard knight has fallen into an absolute disadvantage, with blood on his body and an abnormal green complexion.

He is poisoned!

"You can even get poison!"

Poison in the wizarding world is not something that is easy to produce, it is essentially an alchemical potion.

The prince's guard skills and strength were obviously superior to the assassin's, but he was still in a desperate situation under the opponent's magic blessing and alchemy poison.

Accompanied by strenuous exercise, the toxin spread rapidly, and the prince's guard was as weak as an old man. He staggered and fell to the ground, and couldn't get up even with his hands.

The assassin pierced his heart with a long sword without mercy, then stepped on his back, pulled out the sword, and turned his head to look over.

"Damn Atlantis!"

He glanced at the situation on the other side with the corner of his eye, and immediately understood what was going on.

"If it wasn't too late to prepare alchemy explosives, this operation..."

The madness and hatred in the opponent's eyes made Roland, who was in the dragon body, shiver uncontrollably.

This is a master who has the will to die and is extremely crazy.

Although his strength was inferior to that of the prince's knight, he managed to kill him by all means.

Now he also suffered some injuries, with blood dripping from several places on his body, and he became even more dangerous like a wounded beast.

Roland watched the other party take out a bottle of potion from his arms, raised his head and drank it without hesitation, and knew that he was in serious trouble.

Even if this kind of person completes the task, he will never get out alive.

He will kill wildly with hatred, causing as much damage as possible.

Sure enough, the other party ignored Roland, but rushed directly in the direction where the prince and princess were.

There were Scudder and Egwene too.

The buff effect of "Cat's Elegance" on the opponent's body has not disappeared, and the speed is astonishingly fast.

It is impossible to intercept the opponent in the state of a young golden dragon transformed from a dragon clan.

Although this body weighing more than one ton was strong and powerful, it might not necessarily be very agile.

In desperation, Roland inspired the level 7 spell that he had been preparing for but never used against the enemy in actual combat, "Limited Wishes"!
With the disappearance of the three magic spars that he took out, Roland shouted in the correct Seresian language: "Die to the Lord!"

In the void, mysterious power surged and poured down into powerful spell energy.

The energy of the spell cut across the assassin's body like an invisible sharp blade.

In an instant, he was torn apart like a piece of paper, torn apart and scattered on the ground.

This is the "Limited Wishing Spell" responding to Roland's wishes, and by dropping the 6th-level spell "Dissociation Spell" out of thin air, Roland's wish for the opponent's life was satisfied on the spot.

This kind of thing has paid a price, and it is not beyond Roland's ability.

So it's not misinterpreted, and it doesn't have other negative effects.

Moreover, with level 7 high-level magic instead of level 6 spells, casting spells in battle is quick and timely.

No matter how fast the assassin was, it was not as fast as Roland's voice.

There is really a sense of the fulfillment of the judgment of the gods.

Seeing this scene, the pupils of the prince and princess trembled in surprise, and Skold and Yiwen were also shocked and excited.

"Yeah, Roland is so handsome!"

……

A moment later, Roland and the others were on guard in the maze while looking for an exit.

It turned out that the maze was far more complicated than expected.

This kind of spell is closely related to the intelligence of the caster, and the maze model constructed with complex mental power can trap the affected target for a longer period of time.

Roland and the others also had very limited understanding of this spell, and they were honestly trapped for more than 5 minutes before they saw the "Gate to Another World" flashing with faint blue light open.

Leon and an old man wearing a gorgeous robe and a badge of the archmage appeared on his chest. He couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw the scene.

The battle here was over, and the young men stayed there dejectedly like quails in the rain, completely giving up their efforts to escape from the maze, obediently waiting for rescue.

On the side, two assassins lurking among the attendants were killed and the other injured. One of them was dismembered and scattered in the field, while the other was under the personal supervision of Roland.

He still maintained his transformed state of a young golden dragon, like a burly man over two meters tall guarding the skinny assassin.

When Leon and the old man appeared, he was searching the belongings of the two assassins, and he was carrying something in his pocket.

"Don't cast spells, your own people!"

Seeing the old man raise his staff, and a dangerous aura enveloped him, Roland quickly raised his hands and shouted.

Leon recognized the command staff hanging from Roland's waist, and suddenly realized: "Roland?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Roland quickly canceled the transformation.

Seeing this scene, the old man couldn't help being slightly stunned, then burst out laughing and put down his staff.

After a while, Roland and the others returned to the guild hall first and were closely guarded.

Martial law seems to have been enforced in a specific area of ​​the city, and mage guards are everywhere along the way, and the wind is jittery.

Roland asked Leon about the situation, and only then did he learn that someone really wanted to assassinate Prince Silaire in order to achieve his political goals.

"This time is really rude, please accept our apology."

Leon waved his hand, and the waiter came up with a tray, which contained three egg-sized magic crystals with agate luster.

This kind of thing is valued at 500 to 1000 gold coins according to the stored magic energy, and it has a wide range of uses.

He gave Roland three of these things, as a shock, and reimbursed the cost of the spell.

As for Scudder and Egwene, they each had some shocking gifts.

"This kind of trivial matter is nothing, Your Excellency is too polite."

Roland said so, but still accepted it unceremoniously.

Not long after Leon left, Prince Silaire and Princess Rosa came to express their thanks.

They were grateful for Roland's life-saving grace and wanted to offer a gift of thanks.

But this time, Roland refused.

"Haven't you already given the leaves of the World Tree before? I have always had a clear sense of grievances. How can I accept your gifts over and over again?"

Feeling the vague alienation from Roland's side, and his firm attitude, the two siblings felt a little regretful, but they had no choice but to say more words of gratitude.

At the same time, the city of Nieves was being searched closely.

A mysterious figure hiding in the shadow under the cloak, Shi Shiran, walked out of the hotel.

There was obviously a search team around, but the people passing by seemed unable to see this figure.

Under the illumination of the magic street lamp, the tall and uneven figure was hazy, only the faint light was reflected in the vertical pupils.

A moment later, the breeze blew and lifted the corner of the cloak, revealing the elf's long ears.

At the temples, the green hair is like new leaves, and the fine scales are full of precious light like pearls and jade.

"The aura of the golden dragon...what the hell is going on?"

In the evening wind, a woman's voice with a slightly smoky voice seemed to float out, but in the blink of an eye, it was like smoke that had disappeared into the night.
