The Trial Game of Life

In the dull tunnel, no one spoke.

The Grand Duke has the pride of a Grand Duke, and he doesn't look like he's in a good mood.

Tang Cuo also has Tang Cuo's pride. He is a noble and heroic knight, and he cannot be friends with a frivolous and idle bard.

The bard felt a little wronged.

He didn't mean to watch the fun just now, in fact he really wanted to help, but his bow was sealed by the system, and if he wanted to use something else, the system would frantically play the notification sound for him, saying "As long as you dare to move, I dare to kill you" posture.

Does Jin Cheng dare to move?He dared not move.

His main task is to wait for the opportunity to meet the Grand Duke.

This is the time when Tang Cuo took the Grand Duke out of the carriage.

Tunnel is also a task prompt.Jin Cheng intuited what they would find in this tunnel, and sure enough, after walking out for about a quarter of an hour, he found the familiar symbol of the Rose Sect on the wall of the tunnel.

Gold inverted pentagram with embedded red rose.

Tang Cuo looked at the magic lamps every ten meters in the tunnel, then looked at the rose symbol, and said, "Let's hurry up. If this tunnel belongs to the Rose sect, the enemy may catch up soon."

Whether the enemy who assassinated the Grand Duke came from the Rose Sect, Tang Cuo could not be sure.But in this dungeon story, it undoubtedly plays the role of the biggest villain, even if the assassin beats around the bush, he will have something to do with it.

The Grand Duke's face became more and more serious, "It seems that they are planning more than my life, and there may be more than one secret passage in the city."

Jin Cheng shrugged his shoulders. Regarding these things, it was not for him, a little bard, to express his opinion.

The three continued on their way.The White Leaf District seemed to be very far away. After walking for about half an hour, he still hadn't arrived, but the enemies behind him were almost catching up.Tang Cuo, as the heroic knight Theodore, of course has to be responsible for breaking the rear.

"You go first."

"it is good."

Jin Cheng pulled the Grand Duke away without hesitation, and the Grand Duke couldn't help but look at him more.Jin Cheng didn't have time to explain, as there happened to be a turning point ahead, he asked while running, "Your Majesty, do you know how far it is from Baiye District?"

The Grand Duke was out of breath, "At least half an hour."

Jin Cheng put his hands on the strings of the small harp, and tried to use the sound wave attack again, but the prompt sound of "ding, ding" sounded as promised.

"It seems that we have to speed up." Jin Cheng still had a smile on his lips, but his eyes became colder.After speaking, he didn't wait for the Grand Duke to answer, he carried the man on his shoulders and moved forward quickly.

The Grand Duke is the Grand Duke, although he was taken aback and this posture was extremely uncomfortable, but he remained silent.Looking up at Tang Cuo who was behind, he said, "That young man can't die because of me."

Jin Cheng: "Don't worry, as long as you don't die, he won't die either."

Tang Cuo is currently in good condition.

Not many assassins came after them, only two people, a magician and a swordsman.Tang Cuo didn't know whether he should also be called a knight. In the world of nobles, there might be something special about it.

Tang Cuo couldn't cast spells with his sword at the same time, but in addition to self-taught magic, he also had a small fireball technique rewarded by the system.A garbage-quality skill that fires fireballs with a radius of [-] cm at a rate of one every two seconds for ten seconds.

This small fireball has no lethality at all, but it is enough to interrupt spellcasting.

The opponent's magician didn't expect Tang Cuo to be able to use magic at all. He stood loudly behind his teammates and chanted a spell. Who would have thought that a fireball would hit him in the middle of the spell.

"Crack!" He retreated subconsciously, raising his staff to cast Freeze.The fireball disappeared before the Freezing Technique appeared, as if playing a joke on him.

He immediately turned pale.

Just then, another fireball hit.

"How dare you fool me!" He couldn't bear it anymore, and decided that Tang Cuo was humiliating him with fireballs, because no matter how bad a magic apprentice is, his fireball skills will not be so bad.

Tang Cuo's face was expressionless, and his backhand was another fireball technique, which followed seamlessly.

"Dang!" The swordsman stopped Tang Cuo again. He was eager to chase the Grand Duke, but he was a little more cautious when facing Tang Cuo.This young knight's sword is weird, and it looks ordinary, but the brilliance that shines every time it strikes is too domineering, as if it carries some kind of irresistible force. After several fights, the swordsman is shocked. Wrist tingling.

Tang Cuo's fighting style is open and close. He has never learned exquisite swordsmanship, so he only has the basic movements of chopping, slashing, and picking.Relying on the divine sword in hand, it is horizontal and wild.

Attack, attack, attack again, replace defense with absolute offense, cover up your own shortcomings with the power of the sword, constantly exert psychological pressure on the opponent, and then——

"Crack!" The opponent's sword cracked, and so did his expression.

Tang Cuo pressed on step by step, and made a wrong step to bypass the stunned swordsman and go straight to the magician.At this time, it was only half a minute before he cast the fireball technique. The magician wanted to cast a powerful spell to crush Tang Cuo, and just after finishing the spell, he met Tang Cuo's sword tip.

"Pfft." Tang Cuo's sword pierced the magician's heart, but the magic that had been released could not be recovered.

It was too late to say it, but Tang Cuo fled in the opposite direction.

"Boom!" The magic exploded in front, shaking the swordsmen even.Tang Cuo rolled to the rear to avoid it, a bit more embarrassed, and the wound on his arm was torn even wider, but at least there were no new injuries.

After drinking half a bottle of healing potion, Tang Cuo didn't look back, and continued to kill in the same direction as he raised his sword.

Because a new enemy has come again.

As for the swordsman, his sword is broken, if he still wants to chase after Jin Cheng, then let him go, Zuo Zuo is just going to die.

The swordsman weighed left and right, gritted his teeth, and finally went after the Grand Duke.This tunnel leads to Baiye District, which is a slum area where three religions and nine streams gather, which is easier to do than the inner city.Even if he couldn't kill him himself, at least he had to spread the whereabouts of the Grand Duke so that the Grand Duke could not return to the palace alive.

But within a few minutes after he ran away, Tang Cuo came up from behind again.

"Dang!" The swordsman hastily blocked with his broken sword, terrified in his heart.He clearly saw his companions coming in, and more than one, how could this young knight catch up so quickly?

How did he know that when Tang Cuo saw the crowd, he turned around and ran away.

Although Tang Cuo was running away, he still fought fiercely.

The swordsman was holding a broken sword, and he was no match for the Sword of Judgment. After being pushed aside, he watched Tang Cuo continue to run forward.He ran fast, and after his physical fitness improved, he used the "sprint" skill, and his speed was even faster than some adult knights.

After a daze, the swordsman caught up.

His companions who were behind also joined him at this time, and the two sides had no time to speak, so they chased forward together.

Tang Cuo fought and retreated, with more and more injuries on his body, and more and more people chasing after him, a total of fifteen or sixteen.

There was another bend ahead, Tang Cuo kicked on the wall, raised his sword and sliced ​​off the magic lamp.The moment the lights dimmed, his figure also disappeared from everyone's sight.

Everyone was vigilant, but they were numerous, and there were magicians in the team.A light spell dispelled the darkness, and they continued to chase without losing speed.

But just as they turned the corner, a light suddenly magnified in the eyes of the person leading the way.

what is that?

The last thought of his life was born in this way, and then, the light in his eyes became bigger and bigger, until it completely engulfed him.

Like the tide under the moonlit night, with a dreamy color.

Wherever it passes, everything turns into moonlight and dissipates without causing a trace of dust.

Tang Cuo came out from behind the curve, rubbing the ring on his hand thoughtfully.Legendary Ring Nightingale, engraved with the skill "Moonlight Tide", cooldown time is 24 hours.

The legend is indeed a legend, this effect is extremely overbearing.

Ten minutes later, Tang Cuo joined Jin Cheng and the Grand Duke at the exit.Jin Cheng had already gone outside to investigate, when Tang Cuo arrived just in time, he discussed the next route with Tang Cuo.

"The situation outside is not very good. The exit is the warehouse of a tavern. If I guess correctly, this tavern is the secret contact point of the Rose Sect, otherwise the tunnel cannot be here. Once we are discovered, we may be caught in the urn .”

Tang Cuo: "What about pretending to be guests? They probably don't know us."

Jin Cheng shook his head, "It's not very feasible. Even if we are new faces, there is still the Grand Duke. Moreover, the location of the warehouse is not good. It is farther from the back door than the front door, and it is not a place where customers will go. They are all inside the tavern. personnel. Unless—someone lures them away, and the remaining two will leave."

Their eyes met, and they quickly came to a conclusion——Jin Cheng went to attract the guests, and Tang Cuo took the Grand Duke away.

The Grand Duke watched silently, not knowing how the two young men assigned the task with just one look.But his life was entrusted to them at the moment, so he didn't want to talk nonsense, he just said: "Go to the church, Pastor Peter is my man, he can contact the guards."

"Okay." Jin Cheng nodded, "I'll see you in church in an hour."

Time was running out, and he didn't know if there would be any enemies chasing him, so Jin Cheng acted immediately.There was a lot of wine in the warehouse, so he took a bottle of rum casually, took a few gulps, sprinkled some on his collar, and then pushed the door out with the little harp in his arms.

He walked staggeringly, like a drunken guest, and within a few steps, he bumped into a waiter carrying a bucket.When the waiter saw him, he immediately frowned, looking alert.

"Who are you?" He put down the barrel, one hand behind his back.

"Who am I? I'm looking for the toilet." Jin Cheng narrowed his eyes, as if he couldn't focus because he was drunk.Suddenly, he tripped over something, staggered and almost fell on the bucket.

The waiter did not lose his vigilance because of this, and the knife behind his back was already glowing coldly.But he didn't know that his gloomy and cold expression at the moment was completely printed on the water, and Jin Cheng could see it all.

"Deng!" A note sounded, and the waiter's hand holding the knife stopped, his eyes struggling.

"Deng, Deng!" Several more notes sounded one after another, and the waiter's eyes had already begun to loosen.But at this time, Jin Cheng directly knocked him unconscious with a knife in his hand, opened the door next to him and pushed in.

Open the door, close the door again, and flow freely.

The melody just now was called "Requiem", and at the moment when they split up and left the tunnel, Jin Cheng found that his main mission had changed, and the sonic attack could also be used.

It's just that the bow is still sealed.

For role-playing games, everything is based on the premise of not violating the role itself.Lancelot is a bard who uses magic. The little harp is his wand, and he doesn't know how to use a bow.

Current main task: cover the evacuation of the Grand Duke and Theodore.

Jin Cheng likes such tasks, and it is in line with his character to hold the initiative in his own hands.So he played the piano all the way from the warehouse to the hall, humming a little tune, no matter from any angle, he was a real bard.

But Jin Cheng's Requiem had a limited range of effects, and it was also the first time he played it with a small harp, so it was inevitable that he was not very proficient.The waiters with ulterior motives see that everyone has ulterior motives, so they are vigilant, so naturally they will not fall for each one.

There was a sudden commotion in the tavern.

Tang Cuo and Dagong appeared in the warehouse at this time. He looked at the room full of wine and wanted to set fire to it, but he gave up this dangerous idea after listening to the movement in front of him.

At this time, all the people guarding the back door rushed to the front, leaving only one guard.

"Let's go." Tang Cuo made a decisive decision and led the Grand Duke straight to the back door.

A person can't stop Tang Cuo at all, he doesn't care if this person will make a sound to attract others, he will hit him when he goes up, and run away when he finishes beating, and when the person in front finally arrives, there will be half a person at the back door film.

Going out from the back door of the tavern is a narrow alley. On one side of the alley are low houses and on the other side are the back doors of shops. Sundries are piled up everywhere, exuding an unspeakable smell in the early summer weather.

A few middle-aged women were sitting on a small bench washing piles of bowls, chopsticks and cups. They were wary of the two people who suddenly appeared in the alley and were out of place.

"Your Majesty, I think you need to change your clothes." Tang Cuo said.

A quarter of an hour later, Tang Cuo and the Grand Duke, who had changed into civilian clothes, appeared three streets away from the tavern.Tang Cuo didn't change his clothes, but put on a coat that matched his style to cover the wounds and blood on his body.Because he must keep his own sword for self-defense, and it is impossible for a commoner to own a knight's long sword, and it is even more impossible to put the sword in the equipment column in front of the Grand Duke.

So their identities at the moment are—the noble young master and his poor old servant who came to the slums to have fun.

Current main task: go to the church.

As a noble young master, Tang Cuo unscrupulously looked at everything around him, and naturally found suspicious elements lurking in the crowd.

The closer to the church, the more such people there are.

"Your Majesty, do you maintain absolute trust in that priest?" Tang Cuo asked.

"People's hearts are always fickle." The Grand Duke looked in the direction of the church with a slightly solemn expression.Although he was wearing civilian clothes, the majesty in his eyebrows and eyes was still there. He turned his head to look at Tang Cuo and said, "But I believe in him. He is an upright and kind gentleman. I have always admired his perseverance."

"Hold on to what?"

"Hold on to the soil where suffering breeds."

"This soil is also your country."

"Young people, you need to know that some things are not so easy to change. God said that if there is light, there will be light in the world, but light must be born with darkness."

Tang Cuo wanted to imitate Jin Cheng in shrugging his shoulders, but in the end it was more suitable for him to be expressionless.He wasn't sure whether the news of the Grand Duke's escape to the White Leaf District had reached here. If the enemy knew about it and knew about the relationship between the Grand Duke and the priest, they might come here and wait for the rabbit.

Facts have proved that the church has indeed been targeted, Tang Cuo can only pray that the pastor did not rebel-because he cannot turn around.

The system is constantly adjusting his direction, and once he deviates from the way to the church, it will play the prompt sound for him crazily.Tang Cuo doesn't think that Theodore is a person who knows that there is danger ahead but insists on going his own way, so in the original plot, he must have a reason to go.

For example, if there is any support in the church, as long as you go in, you will be able to keep the Grand Duke.

And the Ivy League.

Is Theodore's rescue of the Grand Duke a personal act or the alliance's instigation?If the latter, why haven't the others shown up yet?

There are still too few plot hints, Tang Cuo thought as he walked, but he still couldn't see the whole situation clearly.And just when he saw the church spire from a distance, he felt a surge of magical power emanating from there, like a dizzy water, and spread to the surroundings at an extremely fast speed.

not good.

He ignored the system prompts, grabbed the Grand Duke and retreated, but how could his speed compare to the spread of magic power, and in an instant, he was already close in front of him.

Tang Cuo could only protect the Grand Duke behind him as much as possible, with the horizontal sword in front, and fully stimulate the ruling Shenghui, hoping to be of some use.However, the expected attack did not appear, and a transparent halo suddenly fell from the sky, covering the two of them.

"Buzz!" The water-like magic ripple hit the halo and buzzed.Amidst the buzzing sound, Tang Cuo only felt his spirit shake, but he didn't suffer any harm after all.

Tang Cuo looked up, and suddenly a figure appeared in midair, wearing a long black double-breasted dress and a black cane.Because his back was facing Tang Cuo, Tang Cuo couldn't see his face clearly, he could only vaguely see the black blindfold on his right eye.And the cane seemed to be his magic wand. He raised his hand and held it flat, and the black gem on the top of the cane instantly shone brightly.

No mouth opening, instant magic.

The Grand Duke breathed a sigh of relief, "Honor Roger Reed, the Overseer."

The author has something to say:

Speaking of which, Cuocuo already has two pieces of legendary equipment, the Nightingale and the Sword of Judgment. Mom can only help you so far.
