Almost all the warriors and magicians in mengfeisi city are in the square, and the guard is not lax. But the main duty of the Warriors is to maintain order. I never imagined that there would be assassins! There are so many people in the square that it's impossible to avoid people with bad intentions coming in. However, it's no different between trying to make trouble and looking for death in this kind of situation, but some people do it.
The assassin's timing is very clever, that is, when the Milky light falls in the golden sky, all of them kneel on their knees. According to the size of the arrow, only the strongest crossbow can be shot, but the assassin uses a bow! The bow string was originally wrapped around his waist, while the bow ridge and the arrow were hidden in a walking stick. The assassin disguised himself as a shambling old man. When the people knelt down and prayed, he suddenly shot out his bow and arrow, acting like lightning.
If we don't mention the strength and accuracy of this arrow, we can shoot it suddenly. At least a warrior can do it!
It's too difficult for this arrow to hit Maria. How can the saint have no protection when she performs her divine arts? That magic array is a barrier. What the assassin wants to take advantage of is people's laxity. This arrow is very strange. When he flicks amon's shuttle gun, he pauses in the air for a moment, and then the speed actually becomes faster.
This meal is enough for the guards to react. There are 12 warriors alone under the platform where the virgin casts her spell. There are six facing this direction. Several swords shot up into the sky, and almost at the same time killed the arrow flying in the air. Even if the arrow was made of the strongest material in the world, it would be smashed.
But something unexpected happened again. There were violent fluctuations in the air, but no sound was made. Amun could sense it only by using divine detection. Every time the sword is cut, the arrow is trembling, like a virtual shadow. The violent shock makes it almost invisible. After several successive stops in the air, it still did not change its direction and continued to fly forward. It shot into the air covered by the magic array.
Amun took a breath of cold air and was able to shoot such a powerful arrow. He was definitely a rare warrior. However, the scene of his spear and the swords of several great warriors to intercept the arrow made Amun think of a kind of excellent magic power - energy magic.
There is no low-level or medium-level view of energy divinity. It is high-level at the beginning. Amun can barely start to practice until now. This kind of divinity is very abstruse and even difficult to understand. All kinds of divinities pay attention to the energy communication with the outside world and transform the power of natural law, and energy divinity is the pure use of energy.
Although Amun hasn't practiced it yet, he has a feeling that the energy magic contained in this arrow can only be done by top magicians. The impact, transformation and consumption of energy can not change its direction. Before the power of this arrow is completely consumed, it will fly to the target.
How could that be possible? No one can be a top Samurai or a top magician. This is the ultimate power of both sides of one body pursued by Amun. Is the assassin a God!
There is also another possibility that the crossbow itself is an extremely precious artifact. There is a great warrior and a great magician at the same time. The samurai shoots the arrow with all his strength, and the magician uses his energy magic on the arrow.
Amun couldn't think about it for such a short time. He couldn't do anything to stop the arrow. As soon as he turned around, he rushed to the direction of the arrow, and took away another samurai's shuttle gun. It was a samurai nearest to Amun. He was kneeling down on his knees devoutly. He did not know what had happened. The spear was in his hand. He did not even know that it had been taken away by Amun.
The arrow shot at the high platform, and a golden light shield suddenly appeared in the void. The arrow was frozen in the air for about a breath time. It passed through the mask and shot at Maria.
This distance is very close, only a dozen steps away. Maria stands on the high platform and is performing an extremely difficult magic art. She can't move without stopping. But at the moment, there was a man who had jumped on the platform and stood in front of the virgin. It was Gabriel.
The blessing of the people did not stop. The echo of the bell still floated in the square. Maria's body was covered with various kinds of protection, including transparent gas element armor, invisible energy shield, and magic shield with colorful light. All the excellent magicians in mengfeisi city are under the platform at the moment. Most of them are operating the magic array, but the others are not acting like this. They immediately protect the virgin.
It all happened so quickly that it was not people's ability but reaction that Maria could have dodged, but that meant the ceremony was interrupted and she chose to trust the people around her. These protections should be able to stop the arrow, but Gabriel can't let this happen. She did something out of the way - only the saint could get on the platform, but she jumped up!
Gabriel's right hand sword swung out, and the silver sword cut on the black arrow sent out a violent tremor. The God stone inlaid on the sword edge smashed, and the body of the sword was also broken into several pieces. Then time seemed to stop. Gabriel's left hand held the arrow, and its tip could touch the armor on her chest.
Her hand is very stable, the arrow trembles like a struggling snake, Gabriel's fingernails are bleeding, the arrow is blocked! When the quiver of the arrow gradually stopped, numerous cracks appeared on the arrow body, and then they fell into pieces.
Amun did not catch up with the assassin. After the assassin shot a cold arrow, he had already stamped his feet and jumped high to the edge of the square. Amun turned around and saw only one figure. Then some people flew over and chased after them in the air, and some people on the ground also flew over. They stepped on the narrow space between the crowd accurately, and several ups and downs chased out of the square.Maria on the platform had already moved her lips to give an order: "Wald leads the magician, the Dragon Teng leads the warrior to chase the assassin, Burke continues to launch the magic array, the ceremony should not be interrupted, the Dragon shadow commands the order on the square, and must not be confused!"
Ward was a nine level magician, the chief high priest of Isis temple. The other two high priests were Julian and Burke. Long Teng is an eight level warrior, the chief guardian of Isis temple, and longying is another warrior. For the first time, Maria publicly ordered these people to be commanded at the same time, without hesitation in an emergency.
Wald led two great magicians, dragon Teng led two warriors, a total of six people chased out. Judging from the speed of the assassin's escape, ordinary people can't catch up with him. This is the real assassin. No matter whether the assassin is hit or not, he runs away thousands of miles away. As long as the reaction is a little slower, he can't even touch his shadow.
Amun couldn't help at all. He turned and ran, picked up the shuttle gun and looked up again. He saw the assassin step out of the square. Another man threw something and turned it into a flying shuttle in the air, enveloping their bodies and shooting away. As expected, the assassin was not alone. There was another person at the edge of the square, and he had already prepared a magic artifact to escape. The recipient's magic is so excellent that he is obviously a top-notch master!
The assassin's leap made Amun seem to see a familiar shadow. He only saw the legendary mainland first warrior enqi with such amazing power and speed, and his figure was too similar! If it is indeed enqidu, then the person who receives him must be Gilgamesh. These two people are not afraid of heaven and earth, and even the gods dare to kill them.
If it's true that enqidus and Gilgamesh have this ability, why do they go to Memphis to assassinate the virgin? It doesn't make sense, and the two heroes don't look like assassins. Amun didn't see who the two were, but he was suspicious but not sure.
This is an amazing event, but apart from the guards around the high platform and Amun in the distance, hundreds of thousands of people kneeling on the square did not even feel it. Everything happened between the breath of the bell. The virgin ordered the ceremony not to be interrupted, nor to disturb the public on the spot, and the pursuers had gone with the assassins. Three great magicians and three warriors, plus the protection of the magic array in mengfeisi City, it is difficult for any assassin to escape.
When the blessing ceremony was over, it was a grand carnival, and people all over the city chanted praise for Isis, which had been expected for 33 years. In the carnival, mengfeisi city hides a trace of tension. The guard function of the Shenshu array on the wall is turned on quietly, and the detection function is also turned on to the extreme. The guard of the city does not participate in the carnival, and the patrolling warriors can be seen in every corner.
Mengfeisi city looks as if no accident has happened. The virgin has completed all the ceremonies of the ceremony in accordance with the tradition. Meanwhile, more people have been sent to track down the assassins.
No warrior or deity with duty was allowed to go home. Amun was transferred to the wall to guard that night, and returned to the Isis temple to guard the archives the next day. After the blessing ceremony, he was ordered not to publicize to the outside world what he saw in the square, because the virgin didn't want to cause panic.
The news of assassins appearing in the blessing ceremony of Isis was spread in the temple of Isis. Amun also heard the private discussion of his colleagues. It is said that the chief high priest Wald and his men did not catch the assassins and let them escape!
On the third night, Amun was suddenly informed that Wald, the chief high priest, was summoned. He was taken to a towering hall, where there were no candles or oil lamps. Instead, it was decorated with shining divine stones, which were actually illuminated by divine arts, which showed its luxury. In the hall were not only the chief high priest Wald, but also the city Lord of Memphis, Daya Tu Yang, and the great warrior Gabriel.
To amon's slight disappointment, Maria was not present.
Both the high priest Wald and the Lord of Daya praised Amun's actions on the square. Gabriel was the main one who asked questions. She said in praise: "the square is too big. More than half of the magicians are helping the holy women to bless the people in the magic array. The rest of the magicians and great warriors are also around the high platform. The place where the assassin is located is the edge of the square. There is not even a magician within a hundred steps around.
You are not the closest samurai to the assassin. There are twelve as close as you are. There are four warriors closer to the assassin. I saw your spear. I didn't expect that you had achieved level 6 achievement and reached the peak of level 6 samurai. Besides you, the highest level of samurai around the assassin is only level 4. No wonder only you can react.
There are two main things I want you to do today. First, Lord Daya wants to ask you what kind of reward you hope to get? The story of assassins in the blessing ceremony will spread sooner or later. The virgin has ordered that there is no need to hide it from tomorrow. You can accept people's appreciation. Second, I want to ask you if you can see the assassin's face clearly. Please remember it clearly
Reward? Amun is neither short of money nor treasure. The so-called reward is really unnecessary. He said humbly: "my life was saved by the saint in the Ronnie River, otherwise I would have fallen into the wilderness and fed the wild animals. With my weak strength, I could not resist the assassin's arrow, but tried my best. All these are all I should do. If you find an assassin but can't stop it immediately, as a guard warrior, you should only be punished. I just perform my duty, and I don't ask for any reward.To tell you the truth, I didn't see the assassin's face. When I turned around, he had already flown to the outside of the square, only to see a figure of his back, which was very tall and bulky. But I have a feeling that I don't know if it is right to say it. This person's body is very light, as if he has deliberately changed his body shape. As for the other one, I didn't see it at all. It was a dark shadow that disappeared. "
He carefully recalled every scene he saw in the square that day. After listening, several adults looked at each other. Ward nodded and said, "I did not return until this afternoon after tracking the assassin. I didn't catch anyone. I didn't expect you to see clearly. But I have to ask. It's hard for you, samurai. What you just said is very important. Can you tell me the reason and why you feel that way? "
Amun shook his head and said, "I can't describe it. When I recall the scene these days, I always feel that the assassin's body doesn't match his posture. It's just a feeling. There's no clear reason."
The Lord of Daya said, "this brave warrior, you probably don't know how terrible the people you are facing. You should even rush over. This fearless spirit is worthy of praise. Although you don't ask for any reward, as the Lord of the city, I must reward you. This is an order that cannot be refused. What else do you want to say
Amun raised his head and said, "thank you, Lord! In fact, I just want to ask you a question. Is your holiness OK
Gabriel said: "the virgin is safe and well, there are a lot of things to deal with these days. Amun, get out of the way. The virgin will call on you when she is free
The Lord of mengfeisi gave him a large sum of money, as well as a set of warrior's armor and weapons. Naturally, they are all excellent things, but they are nothing compared with amon's private collection.
Amun is now a level six warrior, and his achievements are quite high. From the next day on, Amun, a warrior of level six, was promoted to captain of the archives of Isis temple. His monthly salary increased from five gold coins to fifteen gold coins. He also had a residence with a separate courtyard. His colleagues envied him immensely and congratulated him one after another.
Amon didn't care. What he expected was Gabriel's words. The virgin would summon him. He really wanted to meet Maria, who had not even had a chance to see her from close quarters for half a year.
……
On the same night that Amun spoke to the high priest ward and others, two men were talking in secret in the palace of Nineveh, the capital of Assyria, far away. Sitting in the middle is king sinah of Assyria, and on the other side is Lord alpha, Prime Minister of Assyria.
The prime minister is over 60 years old, and his body is obviously a little fat. Sitting there, he leans forward and his belly tightens his clothes around his waist. He worries and says: "Your Majesty, calculate the time. It has been three days since the queen and the master of the state assassinated the Virgin in Mengfei, but no news has been sent back."
King sinah of Assyria was less than 40 years old. He was strong, his eyes were shining, his eyes were deep, his nose was a little crooked, his appearance was very majestic. He said with a faint smile, "I know very well how capable queen Semir is. No one would have thought that someone would assassinate him. If he wanted to escape after a blow, it would be OK. There is also the sage National Teacher Faust to help, that is even more foolproof. Mengfeisi is thousands of miles away from here. It's normal that the news doesn't come back in just three days. We'll just wait. "
Your majesty said, "it's really important for you to send your majesty two assassins if you don't think it's important for your majesty to send another assassin to the kingdom."
Sinnah laughed again: "in fact, this is the idea of Faust, the sage's national master. He volunteered to ask for orders to do it. I gave orders in the name of the king, and the queen would do it in person. No matter whether the assassination of the virgin is successful or not, the Three Kingdoms will certainly go into chaos for a while, which is most beneficial to Assyria. "
"The Three Kingdoms?" Alfa asked with some doubts? Did your majesty say eju, Hattie, and Baron? "
Sinnah laughed triumphantly: "yes, to assassinate the virgin in public on the blessing ceremony is tantamount to declaring war on the Egyptians! How could he have given up such a great opportunity to launch a war with such arrogance and ambition? "
Alpha: who will he declare war on
Sinnah patted the armrest of the chair: "of course, we will not declare war on Assyria. What really conflicts with eju is Hattie, which is gradually breaking away from the fate of subjecting to the eju empire."
Alpha: so why is Barron involved
The king of Assyria blinked his eyes and said, "they can't catch the assassins. My prime minister, please think carefully. Who in the mainland has the ability to escape safely after assassinating the virgin, and which two people have the courage?"
Alfa suddenly responded: "enqidu and Gilgamesh?"
Sinnah's laughter made the roof beams tremble. He laughed and said, "my prime minister, your first reaction is the same. If you want them to be too conspicuous, you can't expect that."
Alfa looked worried: "although everyone would doubt it, why did enqi and Gilgamesh do this?"**************
