Kingdom’s Bloodline

Chapter 12: Magician

Crisp sound.

The glass on a door was smashed by a figure.

Lilian, who was wearing thin silk pajamas, held up the candlestick and looked in surprise at the figure that fell in from outside.

It was a rather handsome man, with short blond hair, wearing a star blue—the uniform of the Police Department?

Will people from the security department break into the house through the windows on the third floor at 4:50 in the morning - Lilian looked at the clock above her head?

It is not appropriate to say that it is a private house. After all, Laiya Club is one of the most famous "clubs" in Hongfang Street. It is located between the popular areas of Hongfang Street and Linhe Street (a famous commercial street in Xihuan District). For the famous beauties in the clubhouse, even if they are nobles of the earl level, or high-ranking officials of the court, if Lilian is to accompany them, the starting price will be twenty gold coins an hour.

Therefore, when the young and promising Captain Cohen Karabyan of the Xicheng Police Department rushed into the private bedroom of the Laiya Club from the third floor, Lilian, who was awakened on the bed, came to check with a candlestick.

"Miss, I'm really sorry for disturbing your sleep."

Cohen got up from the ground in embarrassment, hid the saber in his hand behind his back, and bowed to the charming Lilian, but when he reached out his hand to take off his hat to pay tribute, he realized that his officer's hat had fallen on the ground just now. is in battle.

"Damn it," Cohen muttered.

It's all because the old man lost my night clothes, and I couldn't even go out to buy them in the middle of the night.

Lilian boldly looked at this polite and handsome--this is very important, otherwise Lilian would just throw a candlestick over--the police officer, her beautiful big eyes rolled slightly, and she stretched out her hand to touch the soft black Hair, fingers seem to pass over the proud chest, giggled and said:

"Dear Mr. Police Officer, we are closed tonight."

Of course, Cohen knew what this place was. Usually, this is the time when Laiya Club is busy.

But facing the beauty in front of him, he just smiled slightly, not at all fascinated by Lilian's charming style.

"So, you have been taken care of and will be closed tonight?"

"Of course, the Blood Bottle Gang has opened up the joints and promised to make up for the loss. Otherwise, do you know how much loss will be caused to those adults who have worked hard and worked hard for the kingdom when Red Square Street is closed for one night? If they Tired from work, physically exhausted and mentally bored, unable to contribute to the normal operation of the second largest country in the western continent, what should the more than 10 million people of the Star Kingdom do?"

Lilian blinked and smiled slyly.

Cohen looked at this mature and seductive beauty, and frowned slightly.

It seems that the information I received through the informant is incomplete. I thought it was the Black Street Brotherhood who took the initiative to attack the Red Square Street branch of the Blood Bottle Gang, but now it seems that the Blood Bottle Gang set up an If you set a trap, you will fight against the general.

Then I come here tonight to test the focus of the two major gangs, and I will shift away from the Brotherhood.

After all, it is the Blood Bottle Gang that has been around for nearly a hundred years.

"Hey, that golden-haired green dog!" A female voice outside the building interrupted their conversation.

"Come down quickly and die! According to the rules, we can't enter any house."

Lilian walked to the broken window curiously, and saw a woman downstairs covered in blood and wearing a leather armor swinging a whip in her hand, angrily facing upstairs.

Cohen bowed again to Lillian.

"Thank you for your notice, beautiful lady, please forgive me at this moment, I am going to another lady's appointment."

The blond police officer and patrol leader turned and hopped softly down the street.

"My dear Miss Bernice, don't be too impatient."

Cohen's smile suddenly became cold, and there was killing intent in his eyes.

"By king, in the name of the holy covenant of the stars,

For suspects who may endanger the interests of the kingdom and the lives of the people, as a second-level security officer, I have the right to kill them directly—don't worry, I'll send you right away to reunite with your brother. "

Lilian upstairs covered her mouth. She recognized that it was the twelfth strongest member of the Blood Bottle Gang, the younger sister of the notorious Layton siblings, "Scorpion Whip" Bernice Layton.

Her brother, "Stinger" Primo Layton, just came to the Laiya Club yesterday, he likes special, almost burnt a new girl to death with the oil in an inextinguishable lamp.

According to the police officer's tone, it seems that the "stinger" has died in his hands?

"Green dog! Even your boss dare not give face to the blood bottle! You—how dare you—" Bernice scolded angrily. The left side of the hair was removed, and the rest of the hair was combed to the right, making her whole body look much tougher.

"I'll suck every piece of flesh out of you!"

As soon as the words fell, Bernice's whip swung away in a circle and rolled towards Cohen. The barbs on the whip seemed to come to life, and flew out, all attacking him!

"I see!"

Cohen's figure suddenly became blurred, and only an insider could see that it was him changing his position rapidly at a speed that ordinary people could not see clearly.

"Ding! Ding Ding—Ding!"

The phantom of the long sword flipped and cut off the whip near him!

"If your brother is still alive, with his ability to control these whips, the two of you may work together to cause some trouble."

But Bernice's whip was flexible and changeable like a snake, the whip tip and the flying thorns formed a continuous attack without dead ends.

"If I had arrived ten seconds earlier, Primo would not have died." Bernice said with hatred.

"And you, Qingpigou, will be torn apart by us!"

Cohen's face remained unchanged, and five whip thorns fell off like lightning, but the whip had already reached his eyes!

At this moment, Cohen suddenly looked serious, and rushed forward without even looking at the whip being whipped towards him!

"Fateless idiot!"

"Stab!"

Bernice looked at the rushing Cohen with a smirk, and the whip mercilessly tore open his right shoulder! At the same time, three barbs shot out again!

My whip thorns are poisoned to amplify the pain, with many barbs, and there are thorns in the barbs. Once rubbed, the pain will be—huh?

Cohen makes a move that Bernice didn't expect.

I saw the figure of the security officer rushing forward, facing the three whips, the momentum continued unabated, he raised his left hand, and blocked the flying whips!

The whips penetrated deeply into the police officer's arm, and one of them even pierced his palm, but his expression remained unchanged, as if he had just been bitten by an ant.

Bernice looked at Cohen in surprise—many enemies in the past were deformed by the pain of the poisonous whip, their faces were distorted, and they rolled under her body howling.

But he—why didn't he respond?

Does he not feel pain?

"Street performers, let's stop here!" Cohen said coldly.

Bernice looked at Cohen who was rushing towards him in surprise, and quickly reacted, flicking the whip in her hand, trying to build a protection in front of her.

But a burst of power burst out from Cohen's sword in an instant!

Bernice's expression changed instantly.

this is not!

In an instant, Cohen's saber seemed to be sharpened countless times, and the stars flickered, cutting the thrown whip into several pieces!

In front of Bernice's eyes, Cohen's cold face and sword were getting bigger and bigger.

The next moment, that simple but sharp saber pierced her left chest fiercely, and the point of the sword pierced out from her back!

At this time, her words came out of her mouth with difficulty.

"The power of the end! You are super—"

But she couldn't finish.

"Enforcement is over."

Cohen gently pushed the astonished Bernice away from the sword, as if he had done an insignificant thing.

"I'll give you a suggestion: next time you have any hole cards, use them from the beginning."

He gently pulled the thorn out of his hand, and the vigorous force surged into his palm again, forcing out a few drops of blue liquid.

"If I were wearing armor, even light armor, you would have died ten thousand times."

"In the eyes of those who have experienced war, even super-level powerhouses are childish like street fights, but you are like children's games."

Bernice closed her lifeless eyes and fell to the ground forever. Not far ahead, her brother was half leaning against the wall and was stabbed through the throat by a sword.

Cohen bowed to the astonished Lilian upstairs, and then walked deeper into Red Square Street.

Although this man looked polite at the gentleman, Lilian covered her mouth and thought:

But it's true, he won't show mercy to women.

In another alleyway of Hongfang Street.

Indifferently, Yala withdrew the wolf-leg knife in her hand from the belly of the last red-hooded thug in front of her eyes, and shook the blood on it in disgust.

Thales tried his best to persuade himself not to think about Yala's killing, which always reminded him of Quaid's wide-eyed eyes before he died.

Those people are enlightened, they join gangs, and they clearly know the consequences.

Thinking of this made him feel much better.

Thales tightly pressed the black cloth covering his nose and mouth, watching Yala just slaughtered a team of about seven or eight blood bottle gang thugs, and then crawled out of the hiding place skillfully and tacitly, lying on Yala Pull the back.

"How did you overcome it?"

"Um?"

"The kind that kills people—disgusting and guilty?"

Yala sighed.

"I have been taught since I was a child." She carried Thales on her back, moved her feet briskly, and said in a cold tone, "The ones who can be killed by me are not my kind."

"It's like trampling an ant to death."

Thales stopped talking, but hugged Yala's neck even tighter.

After they crossed Spencer, there were corpses and wounded bodies everywhere on the road of Red Square Street, swords and swords. In several places, even Yara's scalp was tingling, and there was fighting energy.

The two were careful all the way, but in the chaotic situation, even with Yala's ability to hide, it was extremely difficult.

Under the corpses everywhere and the sound of fighting that can be heard everywhere, although they tried their best to cover up their possessions, they inevitably encountered two teams of thugs, one from the Brotherhood and one from the Blood Bottle Gang.

Yala shot with all her strength without mercy, leaving no one alive.

Then leave quickly.

For some reason, Thales was already somewhat used to such bloody scenes.

This is not a good thing—he reminded himself that psychological insensitivity almost inevitably leads to behavioral deviations.

"This is the fifth intersection, and I still can't get through." Yala stopped, frowning, and touched the air in front of her.

Thales fell to the ground and touched his hand forward.

It was clearly nothingness, but what he got was an invisible and hard barrier.

"Is this a supernatural power?" Thales asked in surprise.

So far, Thales has seen not many supernatural beings, but there are also many. For example, Morris, who is in charge of human trafficking in the fraternity, was one of them. He used to suffocate a fleeing beggar with just his eyes. and die.

"No, supernatural beings don't have such a powerful ability. Block five or six intersections of such a large street at the same time—I suspect the rest of the intersections are similar. Even supernatural warriors can hardly do it."

Yala pushed up the goggles on her face with a dignified expression.

The female bartender carefully "observed" the transparent barrier in front of her, and she thought of the terrible legends that the old guy and that man—Yara couldn't help but pause when she thought of this—told herself.

She put the goggles back on.

"From now on, we must be more careful and try to avoid all battles, so as not to expose our whereabouts."

"As far as I know, this is most likely the masterpiece of a magician."

"I hope our luck is not so bad that we meet him head-on."

Thales' eyes widened.

Magician.

In his five years of street life, he had heard this word more than once from the drinkers of the Sunset Bar, the whores of Red Square Street, the gamblers of the Black Gold Casino, and the thugs of the fraternity.

The traveler thought at first that this was a "magician" and "wizard" like existence in the fantasy novels of his previous life, but later found out that it was not the case.

No one would supplement the common sense of the world to Thales, who was a lowly beggar. Even if there was, most of what he could come into contact with were hearsay and horror stories like village folk and foolish women.

However, based on what he found and the professional experience of doing fieldwork in his previous life, Thales still learned a lot of common sense through observation. The following are his observation notes on the term "magician":

The first point is that almost all the moments when talking about "Magician" are accompanied by negative emotions such as fear, hatred, and curse, and the keywords that appear at the same time include "powerful", "terrible", "damn" and "hell" "illegal" and so on.

Secondly, in this world, magicians are quite rare (the rarity here is not the kind of "rare" that was claimed to be "rare" in the YY novels of the previous life, but walked around the streets), Thales judged that in five years, Among the countless people who have talked about "magic masters", only one drinker and a prostitute have a certain degree of truth. Obviously, they have indirectly or directly come into contact with information about "magic masters".

Third, I have never heard of any organization or faction of magicians gathering, but there are rumors that there are two magicians among the top leaders of the Blood Bottle Gang.

Fourth, the police officers and patrol members in charge of guarding and patrolling the West City Gate are equipped with weapons called "anti-magic armed forces."

Fifth, magic masters are completely different from the "supernatural beings", "supernatural warriors", "end swordsmen" and "end knights" that everyone talks about. The latter may be born or acquired abilities. As for magicians, Thales had never heard how their terrifying abilities were acquired.

Sixth, in addition to the magic master, there is another weapon with a suspicious name called "magic gun", and it is only allowed to be used in the kingdom's army. Any illegal possession will be punished with a felony .

The above is all the information Thales has about the magician.

Thales imagined countless situations of encountering a magician, but according to the existing information, it seems that none of the situations is too optimistic.

Like now.

Thales stuffed the black cloth into his pocket and lay on Yala's back again.

—————————————————

A few quarters of an hour ago.

In the center of Hongfang Street, in the underground warehouse of a chess and card room.

A handsome man in blue clothes, with dark brown curly long hair hanging loose, sat quietly at the table of an ancient marching board. On the marching board was a map with several game pieces on it. There are two kinds of black and red, ranging from knights, swordsmen, catapults, shield warriors to guards, prime ministers, and kings.

This is handed down from the Kingdom of Exeter, based on historical allusions and common sense of war. The most popular board game among nobles nowadays - "Rise and Fall of the Empire", simulates the confrontation between human kings and the two armies before and after the ancient empire. For the pampered and noble nobles, of course, it is the most masculine pastime, attracting women's attention, without having to risk the end.

Of course, there are also a small number of great nobles with unique hobbies, and it is said that they like to use real people as chess pieces.

Under the illumination of the unextinguished lights, if you look carefully, you will find that the map in the middle of the marching board is the street map of Hongfang Street.

The handsome man easily moved the chess pieces with his right hand, one by one black or red chess pieces were removed from the picture, but among the removed chess pieces, the number of scattered black pieces far outnumbered the concentrated red pieces.

Two black prime ministers are in the picture, surrounded by many black guards or swordsmen, and several red knights are restraining them. In the further periphery, many black knights and shield warriors were being defeated by the two red prime ministers leading the swordsmen and guards.

In the center of the map, a crimson king stands out from the crowd, next to a red guard.

The handsome man in blue is happily playing his own game. If you take a closer look, you will notice that a light blue energy sphere is gathering on his free left hand, breathing slowly as if alive. There seems to be a storm hidden in the energy ball.

The man in blue opened his mouth to say something from time to time, and around his mouth, he could clearly see the trajectory of the air vibration, turning into ripples and dissipating in the air.

But strangely, nothing came out.

This scene, in the dark and lonely silence, seemed even more eerie.

At this moment, the man in blue suddenly frowned.

Then without changing his expression, he reached out and removed a red catapult on the edge of the map.

But after a few minutes, the man in blue frowned again. He slowly stretched out his hand and removed the only remaining red swordsman in that position.

The blue energy ball in the left hand of the man in blue flickered, and the storm inside showed signs of instability.

He took a few deep breaths and spoke audibly for the first time.

"Who is responsible for the security and interception in the direction of the lower city?"

He seemed to be asking for air.

In the frightening darkness, came a strange but positive answer: "Dorno the Shapeshifter, and Spin the Immortal."

The man in blue closed his eyes and shook his head, then moved the two red swordsmen elsewhere to the two eaten positions, and moved one of them deeper, as if to catch the one who ate him, Dorno. and Spencer stuff.

Ripples of air diffused from his mouth again, and his lips opened and closed silently for a while.

Then gradually, facing the void, spoke words with sound.

"Brother Tarun and Moria, they were eaten by us an hour ago..."

"So it's reinforcements..." he murmured.

He hesitated for a moment, and moved the only two red prime ministers on the map to the past.

"It's all right now."

But the next moment, the expression of the man in blue changed again.

He moved his right hand to the edge at the other end of the map, taking out two red swordsmen almost simultaneously.

The man in blue had an ugly face.

"Who is responsible for the security tasks in the direction of the inner west ring?"

"It's the Laytons, Stinger and Scorpionwhip."

This time, the voice in the darkness seemed to be a little cautious.

The man in blue didn't speak, his eyes wandered back and forth between the two ends of the map, doubt and dissatisfaction appeared on his face.

"Is it a chess piece that entered the field from outside? It's such a headache. Didn't you tell the police department that there will be a curfew?"

Finally, he sighed resignedly.

Haven't played these human games for too long, so the level has dropped?

well.

The man in blue raised his head slightly, with a complicated expression on his face.

"Guradon, you know."

"The meaning of traps and mazes is to block the entrances and exits and trap the rats who have thrown themselves into the net."

"But if both the entrance and exit of the trap are opened."

"That's a mouse that catches a fart."

Then, the man in blue turned cold, and decisively moved the guard next to the red king in the center of the map to the place where the two red swordsmen were out.

In the darkness, a wind sounded.

There was no more sound.

Only the energy storm in the hands of the man in blue gradually stabilized.
