Chapter 375 Chapter 378 Little Chaos

Dagon fell and the scene was in chaos. He was not injured, the sharp weapon hidden in the fist was pulled by the rope formed by the incantation, and he was also pulled away by the rope of the spell, out of danger.

An elf mage that Dagon didn't know took action, shooting more than a dozen purple spell ropes from his body, covering the scene like a cobweb. The Jiangu assassin who attacked Dagon was bound by the rope, but his eyes widened, and a "flame" word rune floated from his eyebrows, igniting the rope all at once. After he got out of the trap, he threw the sharp weapon at Dagon, and at the same time threw the other throwing knife in the other hand at the Elf Mage.

"Bold assassin!" Enraged, the elf mage opened his palm and more cobweb ropes flew out. The daggers and throwing knives were blocked, and the burning cobwebs bound the assassin again, and also wrapped the flames in it. There was only a scream, and the Jiangu clansman was completely ignited, his "flame" rune blazing in his own mana pool, turning him into a shaky torch that kept dropping fragments.

"Stand in place and don't move!" The elf mage kept pinching the secret art with both hands, incantation spreading elemental energy to all directions. It was as if an endless cobweb held everyone in place. Although it is possible to break free from the cobweb with force, at this time, anyone who moves will be immediately detected, so the window of opportunity for sneak attack has disappeared.

Assassin was engulfed in flames when the guards arrived to take over. The elves didn't want to save his life and leave him alive, but controlled everyone around him and checked whether they were carrying weapons. Dagon was first ruled out because he was the target of the assassination, and he didn't carry any weapons in order to enter the council.

Everyone present was searched whether they cooperated or not—except the elves, of course. Three more dwarves and a gnome were found to be carrying weapons with assassination properties, but it was impossible to prove that they were directly related to the ashes. The elven guards escorted them away for continued interrogation, and the others were free to leave the scene.

Professor Dongdong waved to Shiroai, indicating that she should go in the other direction first, and then come to Dagon. For a split second, Dagon stepped back in time, even without the help of the Elf Mage, he would be fine. What's more, Professor Dongdong is not far away, as long as two people have an Illusion Technique shot, this crisis can be lifted. It's just that they didn't expect, the elf mage's reaction was so fast, the incantation was released in an instant.

"The arrest warrant for the election of Wang and Jiangu City still has an impact... These mercenaries are simply desperate for money." Professor Dongdong faced Dagon, obviously only a few feet away, but he His voice was particularly loud: "This is still the door of the Council, and assassin dares to do it here. Oh, I really don't know if those elf councilors will be worried when they pass by the door, anyway, I won't come here anymore, unless I bring With enough protective spell."

Several elves who knew Professor Dongdong rolled their eyes. Indeed, this matter is too embarrassing, assassin is not taking the council in the eye! Well, this is a good topic. The security work of the Council is particularly worthy of discussion, and it will also generate a lot of benefits. In addition, is the arrest warrant of the dwarves too influential, and actually created outlaws in the capital of the elves. This matter also has to be told to the election king, and it cannot be exposed lightly.

"I'm fine." Dagon said to Professor Dongdong: "It seems that there is always a crisis behind happiness, which makes sense. Alas, if only I could react faster. Immediately direct Countering instead of dodging, there should be a chance to catch someone alive."

"It's hard to find out after you catch it. These mercenaries don't care about being locked up for a while, especially Jiangu clansman... "Professor Dongdong said: "After the Equality Act, the Jiangu people will not get longer prison terms than humans because of longer lifespans, will it prompt... Forget it, not to mention this, it's boring."

Dagon sighed, the original good mood is also a little colder.

It's much safer to go back to the Academy, where the various arrays and automatic protection mechanisms make it extremely difficult for outsiders to get in and out. Although Dagon is no longer a student, he has obtained the status of a "trainee lecturer" and can teach "Algebra" under the guidance of Professor Dongdong next school year. The Academy pays him a salary, but half of the salary will go directly to the Asneril family as a "rental fee". The Asneril family also offered Dagon a daily salary, which was exactly half of the trainee lecturer's salary.

As both the family's talker and the Academy's Principal, this dual identity is really useful... The Asner family is equivalent to getting a consultant like Dagon without spending a penny. There is nothing in the world. It's a better deal.

The Equality Act was passed, and the 15th pothole group was supposed to have some celebrations, but Dagon declined. It's winter vacation now, and there are not many people in the Academy, and it's a bit inhumane to call everyone back to celebrate for themselves. This is especially the case with Hammerdom. His family's caravan has encountered a lot of trouble in the human territory. This winter, he wants to strengthen the sea transportation from the Central Sea and reduce the demand for land transportation. Therefore, he is too busy to touch the ground and has no time at all. Host a banquet.

And Hydes finally finished his studies, he graduated and became a "trash" in the mouth of the Jiangu people. He has to go home first to see if he can help the family, and he may not meet again for a long time. In order to avoid feeling sad, he had already packed up his things and sneaked away as soon as he graduated, not giving other people a chance to see him off at all.

As a mage, Hades is not valued in Jiangu society, so he may not be very comfortable when he returns home. In fact, everyone in the No. 15 pothole group thinks that Chiling City is the place where they can show their skills. No one needs to explicitly say it. Dagon has a feeling that the next time he sees Hydes, he will probably be in Chiling City.

Back in the dorm, Dagon couldn't relax either, because Shiroai was here waiting for him. Since she gave Dagon the key to her dormitory, Dagon also gave her one so that anyone could open the door and come in. Shiloh, like the hostess here, is cooking a simple dinner from Dagon's stock. Her craft is all about spell, can use incantation to make sure everything is cooked, taste - as long as she can trick the brain, Shiloh can make any taste.

"That assassin surprised me when it appeared." Shirouai looked at Dagon out of the corner of his eye and said, "This thing is really annoying. You belong to the Jiangu clan. After paying so many contribution points for profit, they still assassinate you? Three hundred contribution points is enough for you to live comfortably for a lifetime! Do they know how much it is? For that gold coin... give them a few contribution points , there is gold coin!"

Dagon took off the five-headed dragon cloak and asked: "What kind of punishment will such an assassin usually receive?"

"If it causes people If you die, you will be locked up for a year or two. If it is an elves, they will probably be hanged." Shiroai said: "I know it sounds unfair, but elves treat elves preferentially, which is very basic in Myris. Common sense. You can use the Equality Act to guarantee the same treatment for other races, but you don't think it's possible to keep the elves out of special care."

"I know, and I don't have that kind of delusion. The Equality Act "I'm very satisfied with being able to pass, and thank you very much for running around." Dagon said: "With your help, I think the elves are still very good."

"The elves are good. On the one hand, there is also a bad side, but there is always a good side." Shiloh said with a smile: "Can I look forward to Dagon · Olison's first course at the Academy next?"

"Are you going to audition? That will make me very nervous."

"If you are particularly nervous, then I must go!" Hiloai said excitedly with her hands raised, "I promise, if I will definitely not be stingy with applause when you embarrass me on stage."

"I am honored to have you take care of me like this. Originally there were good things to tell you, but now I don't want to. I said it."

"What's the matter?" Shiloh raised his eyebrows and said, "If it's really a good thing, I'll consider not harassing you."

" The perfect blast to the array," Dagon said, "I'll give you this."

"en? Did you hurt your head? You already started teaching me to blast the array, did you forget? "Hiroai reached out to Dagon, trying to check if his memory had been manipulated.

"That's not what it meant." Dagon waved his hand, indicating that his mind was fine, but he didn't stop Shiloai from examining him. "I mean to give you the full blast array. My contribution points are basically gone, and my parents are not around, so I want to give you the blast array as a special gift. After I teach you, just I won't mention this again. You publish a blast array to the Mages Association in your name, and everything is yours."

"Your memory has not been passive, and your intelligence has not been damaged. Ah?" Shirouai didn't understand, and asked, "I can learn it, why don't you publish it yourself? The Mages Association must be waiting for you!"

"I want you to go, I want to give this to you." Dagon tugged at his beard, blushing a little, he said, "Besides hunting, the best thing I can do is the model of the blasting array, which is a gift I made. It's for you, you..."

"Oh...I understand. Then I'll accept it!" Shirouai felt her face get hot, so she quickly said: "I understand what I mean, No problem. For mages, the most precious gift is indeed knowledge and skills, and even more how is full of deep emotions. Okay, I accept it. I also promise you that the reward for publishing it, no matter what Whether it's money or reputation, I'll only use them for the life of the two of us. Hey, do you understand?"

Dagon nods, then "Shameless (Hiroai's evaluation)" smiled.

The so-called gift is actually a token of love. Although the knowledge of the burst array is not a physical object, it will not sparkle, and it will not last forever, but its value will never be inferior to diamonds and fine gold. Dagon gave Shiroai all the benefits related to the blasting array, and mentioned his parents in his words, which is equivalent to the commitment of two people to live together.

In the custom of the Jiangu people, the token of love must be made by one's own efforts, preferably by hand. The hunter brings the prey, the craftsman brings the work, and Dagon brings his research. Now, the Council and the Mage Association are all waiting for the complete volume to burst into the array, and many pairs of eyes are watching. The previous "incomplete" burst array has already made the Ascension plan much ahead of schedule, so the value of the improvement in the overall spell level of the elves brought by the complete volume is absolutely inestimable.

It's hard to estimate and it has to be estimated. How much, then we can only talk about it after Shiluoai has learned all of it.
