Chapter 134 Battle on the Bridge

"No problem, here's what I've come to get."

Shade nods and simply wraps the vanity case again in newspaper.

"The lady didn't ask me to bring you the reward."

"She has already paid, she threatened us, and then bought this at a low price."

The ring warlock of [Mercury Blood] said in a sullen voice, and glanced at the stranger:

"Are you hired by that lady? She doesn't want us to know her true identity. But I can probably guess that this method of conduct must be the Demoness of the Demoness Council, but I don't know which one. You, those crazy women."

"You don't have to tell me your guess."

Shade stopped the other party, he didn't forget that [Mercury Blood] is not a good person, the other party Even if it is true, it is better not to hear it.

"Oh? You're afraid of hearing too much news and being silenced? Those women who claim to have inherited the legacy of the ancient Demoness emperor really hate men. Hiring you is just taking advantage of you. She probably doesn't want to let them. People know their existence, so you must not know who the other party is. Or are you not a man at all?" The other party asked again in a provocative tone, and Shade deliberately sneered to express disdain. This means of provoking conflict is too low-level.

Simply ignore the other party, he stared at the driver, backed slowly, and turned to leave after reaching a safe distance.

Tonight it was foggy, but it was only a few minutes after receiving the goods. Standing in the middle of the bridge, it was difficult to see the bridge entrance.

The man dressed as a coachman saw that Shade didn't listen, and after laughing, he also wanted to board the carriage and leave in the other direction of the Tower Bridge. But at this moment, a silhouette wearing a black robe and a hood suddenly came up from under the bridge.

The timing of her appearance is very clever, taking advantage of the fog and the relaxation phase after the handover is complete. After boarding the bridge, he rushed towards the coachman. The coachman punched forward casually, and the mercury-like liquid wrapped his arm, causing his fist to break through the air and make an amazing scream.

The hooded silhouette nimbly dodges sideways, then calls out the ring of life at the sound of the bell. The ring of life revolved, the brass-colored Enlightenment rune flashed, and in the fog of the summer night, there was a rustling sound of water vapor condensing.

Shade turned around and looked towards the sudden fight. The mercury on the driver's fist seemed to have a problem at low temperatures, but the hooded silhouette still didn't dare to confront him easily.

The two people in the fight called out their own life rings, and the appearance of the steam mist made the vision even more blurred.

"Stranger, this is my conflict with [Blood of Mercury], this matter has nothing to do with you, get out of here."

A woman's voice came from under the hood , Shade, who was about to leave, stopped. He carefully placed the vanity case wrapped in newspaper on the bridge deck, and behind him a life ring belonging to a warlock gradually emerged.

"One ring of warlock? Come and help me, you won't suffer."

The man with the blood of mercury shouted.

"Of course it's fine."

Shade said, and walked quickly towards the two in the fight.

The current situation is evenly matched, but the Hooded man seems to have the upper hand because of the sneak attack.

The brass-colored Enlightenment aura emerging from the hooded man's body was countering the power of the mercury on the coachman's fist. The life rings of both sides rotate, and the hooded man and the coachman are both four-ring warlocks, but obviously the latter is better at frontal combat.

Shade has passed through the thick fog of the bridge deck and approached the two, the brilliance of the right hand silver flickered, and the bright rays of light were drawn in the air. That brilliance was extremely dazzling and dazzling. It appeared on this summer night shrouded in dense fog, and it actually caused the driver to lose his mind for a moment:
"It's so beautiful. No, how can these rays of light come to me"

Silver Moon's Slash He hit the front door in an instant. Although he saw that the opponent was a warlock, he knew that Mystic Art's power would not be very strong, but the subconscious vigilance in his heart still made him put up another arm to block it.

But didn't expect, that silver light actually split a slender wound on the arm, the blood flowing from the wound was mixed with silver luster, and soon soaked the clothes on the shoulders .

"No! How could you possibly split my skin?"

Shade knew that the huge gap in the number of rings was impossible to make up with the divine afterglow state, so the second silver moon followed. The light marks came out of his hands. At the same time, the mist of silver gradually gathered from the surrounding, and Moon Shadow's Illusion Technique made him hide his figure in front of the enemy.

Facing the second moon mark, the driver chose to dodge immediately this time, but he avoided the silver moonlight in the distance, but did not dodge the silhouette under the hood nearby.

The hooded man grabbed his shoulders, and as the white palms strained and the knuckles burst, Shade understood the meaning of the spell:
"At the end of the fairy tale, fire takes away life. Traces!"

The dazzling fire rose into the sky in the night fog, and the coachman caught by the hooded man burned like a torch. He screamed and broke free from the hooded man's palm, and was slashed on the left arm by the brilliance of the third silver moon.

It still only broke the mercury protection of the inner layer of the skin, but it was not fatal. The coachman in the fire suddenly broke free from the palm of the hooded man, and then jumped abruptly. In the thick fog, he jumped into the Terrarel River beside him.

The hooded man hesitated, then jumped off the bridge following the trail of fire in the air. When Shade disperses the Illusion Technique and looks down on the side of the bridge, it is impossible to see the water surface and the two people who jumped off the bridge through the thick fog.

So I can only turn on the [Echo of Blood] to observe the bloodstains. Of course, there are a long list of red halo traces in the air, but after entering the water, the blood is quickly dissipated by the water and cannot be traced any further.

"It turns out that the nemesis of the tracking ability [Echo of Blood] is the water surface or the river."

He shrugged and confronted the frightened horse. After watching for a moment, he turned to take the vanity case that was on the ground.

Five minutes later, Shade reunites under the bridge with the wet Miss Luisa, who has taken off her hood and her drenched golden hair is pressed to the side, which accentuates her blond hair even more. The girl was in a very bad mood:
"Good evening, detective. I ran into you by coincidence, and it was unlucky for him to escape in this situation!"

She said frustratedly , I recognized Shade from the silver moonlight just now. Shade recognizes Miss Luisa based on her voice, which is very simple, her voice is very recognizable.

"It's a coincidence that someone hired me to pick up an item, and it happened to be here."

He shook the thing in his hand.

"I've been by the bridge just now, and I saw it. That's the lady's task? It's quite simple." He didn't really care that the lady's trading partner was [Blood of Mercury]. As long as you don't cooperate with [Blood of Mercury] in depth, just buy and sell items, this is a very common thing. And according to Shade's intelligence, "that lady" has a high status and powerful strength, and it is absolutely impossible to be the partner of [Blood of Mercury].

"Detective, is there any kind of water that can be cured?"

After finishing her wet hair, but not dealing with the clothes that were still dripping with water, Miss Luyesha told Shade. asked.

"Are you injured?"

He asked, while taking out some water from the small bottle he was carrying, he tapped it gently to make the water shine silver.

"It's just a minor injury. He was punched in the river. He seems to have the ability to transform into a fish, or a relic. I'm fine, just feeling a little uncomfortable in my lungs."

>

Miss Luyesha said, but learned the lesson from the last hiccups, this time she only drank a little, then avoided Shade's sight, poured the rest of the water on her belly, and then put the bottle Handed back to Shade.

In the process, Shade looked to the side very gentlemanly, pretending to be interested in the night view of Tower Bridge and Tobesque.

"Do you need [Sindia's Silver Moon Gift]?"

Shade asked again, handing over the robe he used to conceal his identity to Luyisa, who was soaking wet. Miss. It's summer, and the robe is for Shade to hide his identity, not to keep him warm.

Miss Luyesha didn't expect that he would do this, and after thanking in a low voice, wrapped her robe tightly.

While she can set others on fire, she cannot warm and dry herself with fire. After all, no matter which version of the match girl story, the match girl failed to use the flame to redeem herself.

"There is no need for treatment for the time being, that punch does not contain the ingredients of Spirit Attack. Also, your [Silver Moon Slash] is really good, the defense of the four-ring warlock can break through, but the formidable power still not enough, after all, the number of rings is too low."

She took a breath.

The reason for Shade's appearance is to help people pick up the goods, and Miss Luysha dressed up like this late at night, still for the reward of Dr. Schneider's Academy.

Although the doctor is currently bedridden, Ms. Luysha, as a partner, can still do something.

Currently under the pursuit of the Church of the True God, [Blood of Mercury] is scattered all over the city. While tracking one of the important members, Miss Luysha learned that The deal that exists tonight. So I wondered if I could catch a live and ask about the [Forged Sage's Stone], but didn't expect even with Shade's unexpected help, it still failed.

“Now that all the ring warlocks in Tobeysk City are aware of it, the Church of the Five Gods has reached an agreement that the Supreme Sun Cult will send a thirteen-ring warlock next week to fill the temporary absence of ten ring warlocks in Tobeysk Parish. The vacancy of the third ring. The cultists and [Blood of Quicksilver] are eager to hide, and scattered those important items and materials in various parts of the city, and they are kept by the ordinary person, so now it is time to find the [forged Sage's Stone] ].”

“So do I need to continue looking for the guy who went into the water? If I can find where he landed, I think my eyes can find him.”

Shade suggested that as long as the guy was bleeding, he'd leave a mark when he got out of the water.

But he shook the item in his hand again:

"I can only stay for half an hour, this item must be given to the employer as soon as possible."
