Saint Laurent Prison Warden

Chapter 41 Behind the Curtain
There really was an assassination!

Richard bared his teeth, feeling that his life was miserable.

In his previous life, when he was watching a certain elementary school student, he would laugh at him every day, saying that people would die wherever he went, and he was a living god of death.

Now I am in the same situation as before. Wherever I go, something goes wrong.

Fortunately, with the scroll in hand, the world is mine!

Richard half-knelt down, holding the scroll in front of himself.

The assassination in front of him was tense and exciting, but Richard didn't care at all.

The four hints Oxford left in the [Near-Death Vision] kept echoing in his mind.

1. Don’t be afraid of the stigmata shackles.

2. There are things that Mr. Capa left for me in the basement cell of Saint Laurent Prison.

3. Teacher Kappa is gone, and no one will protect me wholeheartedly, including Mahir Changren.

4. I must not go to the Holy See before I meet Lolo.

Richard's brows were tightly knitted together, his eyes were flickering, and his thoughts were inexplicable.

As I expected, there is an organization behind Teacher Kappa, and this organization is most likely not the Holy See.

Bad news, I've been caught in a huge storm and if I'm not careful, I'll be torn to pieces.

The good news is that I should be in the eye of the storm now, relatively safe and able to gain some benefits from the storm to strengthen myself.

After a long while, Richard took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, his eyes showing understanding.

At this moment, Richard saw a flash of light that was first blue and then purple in the white mist in the distance. It fluctuated violently and then fell into silence.

Richard immediately realized that this was the light fluctuation of [Obstacle Removal]!

【Eviction Obstacles

Water magic, second ring

Can remove obstacles on the battlefield, such as trees, stones, fire walls, etc.]

“Wrong, removing obstacles is the magic of obstacles.

But the fog created by the blur spell is not an obstacle, so removing the obstacle is ineffective and another magic must be used.

I don't have the magic power to resolve the haze spell, but there are many powerful wizards present, they just lack a little hint."

Because of the haze technique, Richard was surrounded by a light white mist, with visibility less than half a meter.

But Richard knew clearly that the obscuration technique only hindered the propagation of light, it would not make the light disappear, nor would it change the terrain of the battlefield.

Therefore, the positions of objects and people present will not change due to the blur.

Richard closed his eyes and constructed a rough map of the auditorium in his mind.

Even with limited vision, he can move briskly relying on the map in his mind.

Richard grabbed the heavy curtain, wrapped himself up, and then ran to Capa's crystal coffin in two steps.

"We had to make an emergency decision, Master Kapa, ​​I'm sorry."

Richard put his hands on the table, turned over and climbed onto the crystal coffin. He stood on the crystal coffin and shouted loudly:

"The essence of haze magic is summoning magic. These white mists are actually nano-air beads summoned by haze magic. Using the [Exorcism] on the air, which can banish summoned creatures, can eliminate haze magic!"

Ding!
As soon as Richard finished speaking, a cyclone appeared not far from his left hand side. The cyclone spun rapidly, clearing away a large area of ​​fog. At the same time, the light that was originally suppressed by the haze spell also shone from that direction.

Richard turned his head and saw that the first person who heard his cry and released the [Exorcism Technique] was Diana, the female student who had a crush on him!

Diana raised her right hand high, and her magic book slowly rotated in her palm, emitting a bright glow. Beside her, another teacher who came with Dean Hank was lying on the ground seriously injured.

The blood had already stained his clothes, and his life or death was in danger.

Cassim was in tears and nervously cast healing magic on the teacher repeatedly, but it seemed to have little effect.

When Diana saw Richard standing on the crystal coffin, her eyes lit up and she was so excited that she shouted loudly:

"Teacher Chad, I'm so glad you're okay!"

"Shut up!" Richard was so angry that his teeth clenched.

Why are you shouting so loudly?
I dared to jump onto the crystal coffin and shout out the solution to the obscuration spell because I was covered with a curtain and had a legendary magic scroll in my hand. I could unfold the scroll to protect myself the moment the stealth attacked me.

So I dared to use myself as bait to lure the stalker out and give Dean Hank the opportunity to take the initiative.

What's your trump card? Are you brave enough to shout as loudly as I am?
Sure enough, as soon as Diana finished her words, there were two whooshing sounds in the surrounding fog, and two dark purple arrows emerged, one arrow pointed directly at Richard, and the other arrow flew towards Diana.

Puff!

The arrow hit Richard, but was bounced off the curtain on Richard's body without leaving any trace on the curtain.

How could the curtain used to cover the coffin of a legendary hero be ordinary?

It doesn't look thick, but it's very heavy. This is because the density of this curtain is extremely high! This curtain is equivalent to soft obsidian. It is impossible for ordinary attacks to penetrate the curtain. Wearing this curtain is like wearing a bulletproof vest.

Richard was fine, but Diana was in trouble.

No matter how talented she was in learning magic, she was just a student who had not yet graduated. She had just come into contact with the third-ring magic and could not even deploy a magic shield. The crossbow arrow pierced her stomach firmly, and blood gushed out in an instant. Diana's face turned pale instantly.

Hey!
Richard has a toothache.

This silly girl!

The legendary stealth warrior didn't attack me, so my plan failed. So forget it.

Fortunately, Richard was not far away from Diana. He jumped off the crystal coffin, strode to Diana, and suddenly opened the curtain, covering Diana, who was squatting in pain.

Whoosh!
It happened no sooner said than done. At the moment when Richard protected Diana, another arrow shot out from the fog and hit the curtain!

Diana panicked and reacted immediately.

The fog blocked our vision in both directions. We couldn't see the attackers, and the attackers couldn't see us. It was her shouting that attracted the shooting!

She held her belly, tears welling up in her eyes as she asked Richard, "Teacher, have I caused you any trouble? I'm sorry."

"Now is not the time to talk about this." Richard supported the curtain with both hands, bumped his head against Diana, and said:

"Use [Heal] first, then pull the arrow out yourself, then use [Remove Toxin] and [Life Essence], and finally use [Heal] again, faster.

Please don’t die, I’ll be sad.”

"Ok!"

Hearing Richard's words, Diana felt warm in her heart and immediately obediently cast magic on herself.

Richard hid behind the curtain and shouted:

“Qasim, listen to me, but don’t answer.

Philip is obviously seriously injured and dying. His injuries are too severe and your healing magic cannot cure him.

He has so many wounds on his body, and they are so dense. It is obvious that he stepped on the thorn trap of the [Elite Assassin]. Now he is bleeding heavily from several wounds. The health points you restore to him by healing are not enough for him to lose by himself.

It's like adding water to a water tank with a hole in it. No matter how much water you add, it will eventually leak out. If you want to fill the water tank, you must first plug the hole.

I know you are good at blood magic, so you cast negative magic [Blood Stagnation] on him.

[Blood Coagulation] will reduce Philip's attack power and slow down his blood flow, causing his wounds to stop bleeding quickly.

After that, you can use recovery magic like [Heal] to have a chance to heal him."

Hearing Richard's shout, Qasim, with tears in his eyes, suddenly found his backbone.

He remembered Richard's words and dared not speak. He could only cover his mouth and nod vigorously, then quickly put his hand on Philip's body to release the [Blood Stagnation].

Just as Richard said, Philip's blood suddenly became viscous and soon formed a blood clot. Even his clothes were solidified in the blood clot.

Whoosh whoosh!
Because of the sound, several crossbow arrows shot towards Richard from all directions in the air, but they were all blocked by the curtain.

In order to ensure that the curtain covered both of them completely, Richard had to squat with Diana and overlap half of Diana's body with his own.

So Diana had to sit half of her body on Richard's lap.

Richard covered the two of them tightly with a curtain, leaving only a small gap through which one eye could secretly observe the outside.

Outside, bursts of light from the [Exorcism Technique] lit up, and the haze gradually disappeared.

As the obscuration magic disappeared, a large group of elite assassins wearing gray night clothes and holding crossbows who had been hiding in the fog were also exposed.

When the mages and wizards present saw the assassin, they were furious and cast all kinds of magic without mercy.

Grease to limit the assassin's movement, visible light dust to search for invisible targets, lightning and thunder for precise single-target damage...

When the mages' vision is no longer obstructed, the assassin's first-mover advantage disappears!

In just a moment, the mages gained the upper hand and quickly squeezed the assassins' living space.

In the hall, assassins and mages engaged in a fierce battle, with magic flying and crossbow arrows shooting everywhere.

And this small curtain is like a dividing line, keeping all dangers outside the curtain.

Behind the curtain, Diana curled up in Richard's arms and felt extremely safe.

When the healing light faded and the pain in her body gradually disappeared, she trembled and hugged Richard's neck, and asked carefully:
"Teacher, I'm scared, can I get closer?"

Richard, who was observing the battlefield situation through the gap in the curtain, whispered:
"Don't worry, we have the advantage. Those dark elf assassins are fighting and retreating. It should be over soon."

"But I'm still scared." Diana's voice trembled a little.

"Hold tighter then."

"Ah."

With Richard's permission, Diana couldn't bear it any longer.

She tilted her head, pushed Richard's chin open with her head, put her lips on Richard's neck, and sucked gently.

Richard: Huh?
Ok? !

Richard's eyes almost popped out of his head.

No? There's an assassination going on outside, what are you doing without saying a word? You're bullying me, holding up the curtain with both hands, but I can't stop you with my hands, right?

Duang!

Richard hit Diana hard on the head with his forehead.

"Dianpo, what are you doing? Come closer, I'm not asking you to suck it. Just be quiet!"

"Woo woo!" Diana turned the pain into grief and anger, increased the force of her sucking, and even used her teeth to bite Richard so hard that he gasped.

Fuck, this bitch is so crazy. I protected her but she bit me. She repays kindness with evil.

At this moment, suddenly, Richard felt a violent impact from the left side, which made him stagger and almost fall.

Ok?
Richard lifted the curtain and saw that it was an assassin who was blown away and happened to bump into him.

There was even worse news. The assassin had apparently discovered him and was tugging hard at his curtain, trying to tear it off.

What the hell!

Richard was shocked.

If the curtain was gone, in this dangerous auditorium, any stray arrow could take his life, and he could only open the scroll to protect himself.

But he would be unwilling to hand over the legendary secret scroll just because of a small assassin.

"Get out of here!"

Richard was so angry that he kicked the assassin hard in the stomach.

With a snap, he failed to kick and instead kicked himself so hard that his soles hurt. This Dogecoin assassin has really strong abdominal muscles.

"Hmph! That's it! Watch carefully, this is how you kick someone!" The assassin sneered, twisted his waist and hips, and kicked Richard hard!

Snapped!
With a crisp sound, a pair of white thighs suddenly kicked the thief from the side, kicking the assassin away!

The assassin slammed into the wall, then fell heavily to the ground. He lay on the ground groaning weakly, breathing in but not out.

The owner of the thigh, Officer Iluna, turned his right hand and threw a punch, which was so powerful that he smashed the assassin's head in the air, and red and white blood flowed all over the ground.

"Executive Officer Iluna, you are not a mage, but a warrior?"

Richard's eyes almost popped out of his head.

How can there be a warrior profession that wears gauze skirts every day, has long legs, a slim and attractive figure, and is full of charm?
Aren't warriors all wearing heavy armor? If that doesn't work, you have to have muscles.

Iluna stood in front of Richard openly. She did not answer Richard's question, but put her hands on her hips and smiled at Richard:
“Hehehehe. Look at the red mark on your neck.

Why are you so impatient to get to dangerous places?

You said she wasn't your little sister, Richard, you deserve to die. Fortunately, I didn't marry you, otherwise I would have lost a husband now."

Richard: ...

"No, please listen to my explanation..."

"Who are you, Auntie? Teacher Chad will never marry you! My teacher is obsessed with magic research and has no room for love. Auntie, you should give up now."

When Diana saw Iluna, she felt the crisis and immediately hugged Richard tightly, glaring at Iluna fiercely to declare her sovereignty.

Iluna: ...

Richard: ...

Iluna smiled coldly: "Hehe, what do you want to explain? Explain it quickly. Auntie, I'm waiting to listen."

Richard: "There's nothing I can explain. You won't believe anything I say. Think whatever you want."
