noble magician

When it was dark, Lance and Lei Zhe came to a mountain pass, and a road sign was inserted on the side of the road to indicate the direction, but Lance abandoned the road and climbed up a small slope.Lei Zhe glanced at the spacious and flat mountain road for carriages, and followed Lance up the small slope.

"We took a shortcut." Lance explained, "There is a trail here, which can save a lot of effort, but..."

"only?"

Lance smiled and said, "It's also the favorite place for thieves."

Lei Zhe didn't understand what he meant until he crossed the hill and came to the shortcut that Lance said.This shortcut is relatively narrow, with mountains on both sides, like a gap formed by a big mountain being forcibly split, but it is also flat, showing that there are not few people walking.

However, such a place is indeed a good place for thieves, especially when the sky is dark and there are few people.

Lei Zhe just raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and didn't care at all.Little thieves may be a troublesome thing for ordinary people, but for magicians, this is just a trivial matter, and there are no thieves who will rob a magician without a wink.Maybe some magicians did the tricks of thieves, but magicians who are stronger than Lance and Lei Zhe will not stay here to make a little money.

There is a crescent moon hanging in the sky tonight, and this path also enjoys the favor of the moonlight.The sparse moonlight illuminated the winding path under their feet, and the two of them continued on their way in the dark without even using the candlelight technique.

"If we took a carriage, we would already be sitting in the house drinking hot soup." Lei Zhe complained feebly, the long journey was really boring.

"Even if we arrive, there is no hot soup. Are you tired?" Lance said absently, scanning the surroundings vigilantly.Even though thieves were not to be feared, he instinctively raised his vigilance in such a place.

The two of them walked in for a while, only to see two night-timers coming from the opposite side.This is a dirt road, the other party's footsteps are barely audible, and because of the light, they can't see their appearance clearly, but it is roughly certain that they are also wearing mage robes.

Lei Zhe and Lance looked at each other, and they both secretly raised their vigilance.

The distance between the two sides gradually narrowed. When the distance was more than ten meters, the two people on the opposite side suddenly shot at the same time. Two lightning bolts drew pale arcs in the air, as if a white snake opened its mouth to reveal sharp fangs, biting towards the two. !

That is an apprentice-level destruction spell!

Lei Zhe took a sudden step forward and stood in front of Lance.Under the effect of magic power, the superficial skin turned into stone flakes, which instantly covered his whole body.At the same time, a surge of abundant and pure magic power gushed out from the palm of his left hand, and a protective shield appeared in his hand. The magic power on the shield surface circulated, exuding a cool and peaceful atmosphere.

The place here is small and there is no way to avoid it. Lei Zhe intends to resist the lightning damage from the two magicians alone.

A silver light flashed in Lance's eyes. Instead of using defensive magic, he summoned a flame servant with both hands, and attacked the two opposite people.

At this time, the opponent's lightning had hit Lei Zhe's protective shield, and Lei Zhe's expression changed slightly.

At the same apprentice level, electric shock is a magic with relatively low damage in the destruction department. It is enough to deal with it with a protective shield, but now that two apprentice-level magicians are attacking at the same time, Lei Zhe's protective shield is a bit overwhelming .Lightning broke through Lei Zhe's first line of defense and hit him.

Although the stone skin technique offset the remaining damage of the electric shock technique, the effect of this magic - the expulsion of magic power - still had an effect on Lei Zhe, and the magic power on his body began to drain rapidly.

And the two mages on the opposite side were not at ease at this time. The flame servants summoned by Lance were worth three, and only one fireball injured a mage who underestimated the enemy. The opponent had to unite to fight against the flame Shiling.

Successfully contained the opponent's attack, Lance was about to launch the next attack magic, but a slight footstep was caught by his ears.The sound was so soft that it was almost inaudible, but it sounded like thunder to Lance's ears.His heart twitched violently, and he abruptly changed his use of destruction magic into a protective shield.

"Boom!" At the moment the protective shield was formed, a group of scorching flames hit the shield.

This flame magic was much more powerful than Lance's fireball. Lance couldn't resist it, and the fireball hit him directly, and then exploded, setting off a heat wave in the air and burning the two of them at the same time.

Lance looked at the mage who suddenly appeared behind them. He was wearing a mage robe, wrapped in clothes, and hidden in the shadows. Only a few strands of messy curly hair protruded from the hood, so he couldn't see his appearance clearly.

"It's a veteran-level magician! And I'm afraid he is about to advance to the expert level." Lance endured the pain and said, his heart sank.

The big fireball technique just now is a veteran level. When it hits the target, it will explode and cause group damage to the surroundings. It is not at the same level as the small fireball technique.

Although the magic of Lance and Lei Zhe has been greatly improved, if they are facing a veteran-level magician who has not yet advanced, they may still have a solution with their joint efforts.But the one in front of him, judging from the strength of magic, is obviously already high-level.And there are two apprentice-level magicians, they are obviously a group.

Lance once confronted a veteran magician, and coincidentally, that time he was also with Lei Zhe.But then they could escape, and where they are now, there is nowhere to escape.

There is an ambush before, and there are pursuers behind.Lance and Lei Zhe pressed their backs together, frowning.

"Can you hold on?" Lei Zhe asked in a low voice.

"I'm afraid not. I can only withstand two more fireball attacks at most." Lance replied with a hint of anxiety in his voice.

Lance understood what Lei Zhe wanted to say, and the best way right now was to deal with those two apprentice-level magicians first.However, that veteran-level magician might not let them do what they wished.

This place is so narrow, and the fireball's attack range is so large, there is no way to avoid it, so it can only resist.In this way, even if Lei Zhe could solve the two apprentice-level magicians, Lance would not be able to hold on by then.

Is there no other way?The two desperately thought of all feasible ways to get out.

"Stop first." The veteran magician said suddenly, his voice sounded hoarse.

Both Lance and Lei Zhe were terrified, not knowing what the other party was up to.

The man looked at Lance and asked, "Are you a commoner?"

Although this question is simple, it contains a lot of information.First, judging from the tone of the other party's questioning, he was sure of Lance's civilian status.Second, this attack may be related to the status of "civilian", in other words, it can also be said to be related to the status of "nobility".

A series of thoughts flashed through Lance's mind, but he responded calmly, "So what?"

"An apprentice-level mage who can cast spells with both hands..." The man said slowly, as if raving, "Stop working for the nobles. If you join us, I can let you go."

This sentence is like a thunderbolt, join them?It sounds like they are still a group.Judging from the current situation, the group's target should still be Lei Zhe.

Lance noticed the momentary stiffness of the body close to his back, he ignored it, and continued to ask the magician opposite: "Who are you?"

The other party was silent for a while, and then the man's gloomy voice came out.

"If you want to join us, kill the people behind you first!"

At that moment, Lance only felt that the whole world was quiet.

Accompanied by the hoarse voice of the magician, he was suddenly faced with a choice, whether to kill Lei Zhe and join "them" and survive, or to fight with Lei Zhe for the almost invisible life.

This seems to be a difficult choice, but for Lance, there is no need to think about it at all, the answer is obvious.

"You especially like treacherous people?" Lance asked.

"What did you say?" There was anger in the man's voice.

"Isn't it? If the condition for joining you is that I must kill my friends, then don't you welcome such people?"

There was silence on the other side, and the man's voice came again after a while.

"You regard the nobles as friends?" There was a bit of sarcasm in his voice, "Stupid people, in the case of unequal status, will not have the relationship of 'friends'. No matter when , the first to be hurt will always be you self-righteous civilians! Choose, this is not treachery, you are just abandoning a position of being enslaved. And you..." He moved his eyes to Lei Zhe, " It is time to pay for the sins you have committed.”

As soon as the curly-haired mage finished speaking, a dead silence filled the path.

The unequal status of nobles and commoners has always existed, even as a deep-rooted norm in the Doya continent.Now being deliberately pointed out by the curly-haired mage, the relationship between the two of them looks like a building without foundation, as if it could collapse at any time.

For a moment, both Lance and Lei Zhe were silent, and their posture of defending against the enemy back to back also seemed weird.

"Have you considered it?" The hoarse voice sounded again, "We are the avengers, and we want to make those nobles who take advantage of us pay the price and let them pay for the sins they have created! Join us, boy, you will have A wider sky than it is today."
