noble magician

Shadow cats are very cunning monsters. The two that were hit by Lei Zhe before were because they were unprepared, and the power of Lei Zhe's small fireball technique should not be underestimated.But knowing that Lei Zhe had already started to fight back, those shadow cats would never be easily hit by his spell.

The shadow cats were not so agile. With their deliberate dodging, it was basically a breeze to dodge Lei Zhe's indiscriminate attacks.If he had experience dealing with shadow cats, he probably wouldn't have taken this approach.

Lei Zhe threw several small fireballs in one go, but failed to force even one out. On the contrary, the surrounding trees had already started to burn under the attack of the small fireballs.

Lei Zhe, who was on guard against the Shadow Cat with all his heart, didn't notice this at all.

Those were three shadow cats, not just one, maybe there were some hidden in the dark that hadn't appeared yet.If so many shadow cats launch a sneak attack skillfully, they can even make it impossible for Lei Zhe to dodge, reaching a [-]% fatality rate.After all, they have an absolute advantage in numbers, which is why Gagne emphasized not to get separated from his companions.

Sweat dripped from Lei Zhe's forehead, and it was unknown whether it was because of nervousness or the gradually rising temperature from the burning forest.The young noble magician finally began to regret his contempt, and it was only then that he noticed the surrounding situation and remembered what his uncle Gagne had said.

The burning forest made the shadow cat's range of activities smaller and smaller, and it was time to launch the final blow.

Lei Zhe stopped his indiscriminate attacks and cast a tree skin spell on himself.

The results are already evident.If he can successfully force out one or two shadow cats, then what he has done will not be a loss.But that round of fireball bombing didn't work at all for the highly agile Shadow Cat. On the contrary, Lei Zhe felt that his magic power was not enough.

This is a dangerous signal, a mage cannot use magic, he can only be slaughtered.It was the first time that Lei Zhe realized the importance of experience. Although he had a high talent for magic, he was just a rookie in this forest.

With his left hand, he raised an apprentice-level magic shield, protecting the vital points - the heart and neck, and at the same time prepared a small fireball technique to attack at any time.

Assuming that the protective shield can withstand the attack of a shadow cat, and assuming that his small fireball technique can disable a shadow cat, then the last remaining one needs to be avoided by himself.

However, this is all just a hypothesis.

With the speed of the shadow cat, I don't know if Lei Zhe can dodge it smoothly, and whether the apprentice-level magic shield can block the shadow cat's claw is also unknown. In addition, what if the little fireball fails to hit?

In just a short while, they had already started to move, and three black shadows shot towards Lei Zhe from different directions!

Front, rear, left.

Lei Zhe's reaction was also quick, he instantly noticed the attack position of the three shadow cats.

Lei Zhe continued to provide magical support for the protective shield on his left hand, protecting his front, and at the same time released the fireball that had been prepared by his right hand.The fireball roared and drew a heat wave in the air, attacking the shadow cat on the left.

And later... Lei Zhe understood that he wanted to leave the spot, and he did.But compared to the piercing sound behind his ears, the movements of his feet were too slow.A moment of time is very short most of the time, so short that we don't even care about it, but sometimes it is especially long.

It was the first time that Lei Zhe realized that his body was so clumsy. He cursed in his heart, but he could do nothing about the current situation.

It's over, it is said that one claw of the shadow cat can directly shoot off a human's head.The descendants of the supreme nobleman Xi Zuoan are going to die at the hands of the shadow cat. If this news gets out, it will make people laugh out loud.

All of this happened in an instant, and the result was soon seen.

The power of the claw attack depends on strength, sharp claws and extreme speed, so once it is launched, it will use its fastest speed to increase its power.This is also the reason why the shadow cat cannot turn easily when there is no foothold, and a slight tilt cannot change the result of it being hit by a fireball with a diameter larger than its body.

The shadow cat on the left suffered a small fireball from Lei Zhe abruptly. His fur covered his body with a burnt smell, and he fell to the ground struggling in pain.In terms of the strength of magic, Lei Zhe's small fireball technique is outstanding, and other magicians of the same level may not be able to hurt it to this extent with a single fireball.

The shadow cat attacking from the front had its sharp claws on the magic protective shield at this time, and its sharp nails scratched across the shield surface and made a harsh friction sound.Its sharp fingertips pierced Lei Zhe's first layer of defense, and then penetrated into his skin strengthened with the tree skin technique. With a "stab", the claws tore Lei Zhe's robe, and in his There were several bright red scratches on his left chest.

It aimed at Lei Zhe's heart.

Although it broke through Lei Zhe's defense, these two layers of protection still played a huge role. The cat's claw had lost its strength, and it could barely scratch his skin but could not cause substantial damage.The shadow cat disappeared with a light jump after the attack failed.

Lei Zhe was overjoyed, and quickly cast a spell to arm himself again.After casting the two defensive spells, he was truly relieved.

"I'm scared to death, my life is hanging by a thread." Lei Zhe, who survived the catastrophe, couldn't help but sigh with emotion.As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately realized something was wrong. Where's the one coming from behind?

Lei Zhe was feeling weird, but heard a sound from behind that seemed to be cutting something.

He stood there in a daze for a while, then remembered to look back.Turning around, I saw a silver-haired boy stuffing something into a big sack.Under the sun, even his silver hair was exaggerated with a warm smell.But when the man raised his head, Lei Zhe was startled unconsciously.

Those eyes seemed to contain all the silver in the world, cold metallic tones, as if all emotions would not appear in those eyes.The man just gave Lei Zhe a look, and then went on to cut off the other tails on his own.

Tail?Lei Zhe tilted his head in confusion, suddenly realized, and immediately put the crisis behind him, and said to the silver-haired boy in a deep voice, "Hey, where did you come from? That's my tail!"

Lance ignored the angry questioning voice in his ear, and put all the cat tails into the sack in a short while.The situation was urgent just now, and he didn't even have time to collect his soul power. The shadow cat that was hit by the small fireball technique was already dead.Lance regretted for a while, and then thought for a few seconds about the power of that little fireball.

"I said it was mine, why did you take it all away!"

"If you don't put out the fire, the whole forest will be on fire." Lance said slowly, turning his head to look at Lei Zhe, "You set the fire, right?"

Lei Zhe's expression froze, and he didn't know where to look.

This forest is very dense, and it is common sense not to use fire magic.But when he was besieged by many shadow cats, he was nervous, so he only remembered to use the fire magic with the highest damage, and he forgot all other things.

And after the battle just now, he is also a little tired. After the fires are extinguished, he may not have the strength to catch the cat again, not to mention the attacks of other shadow cats that he may face after that.Even if you can use magic potion to replenish your magic power, there is a limit on the number of times you can use it.

"As a magician from the Duoya Continent, do you want to watch the forest catch fire without taking action to put it out?" Lei Zhe suddenly looked serious, straightened his body, raised his chin slightly, and looked at the person in front of him with a lofty posture. Lance.

Lance didn't even twitch his brows when he saw this, but instead asked, "Are you a nobleman?"

Lei Zhe snorted, and maintained the style he had just said: "You have good eyesight, and since you know it, you should use an honorific title for me. But why do you ask that? Does it have anything to do with the current fire?"

Unlike his uncle Ganesh, Lei Zhe didn't wear a family crest, but the color of his mage's robes proved it. The Orchid Academy was still very famous in Burning Wind City.

A very shallow smile suddenly appeared on Lance's lips, which softened his whole body.

Lei Zhe was startled for a moment, feeling inexplicably being watched.

"Your Excellency, Mage, if you are willing to spend gold coins to hire me, I will clean up this place with dedication, not even a spark left." Lance really used the honorific, unhurriedly said.At the same time, the fire in the forest was burning more and more vigorously.

Did he mean to make himself pay him?Lei Zhe immediately understood: this is a commoner mage who is short-sighted and falls into Qian's eyes.

If other civilians have the opportunity to serve the nobles, they will take the initiative to post, hoping to win the favor of the nobles, so that they can get a decent job with a good salary, and sometimes they will post it just for the sake of fame.

But the mage said "gold coins" when he opened his mouth, which is really short-sighted.Didn't he know that as long as he said a word, his life could change drastically?Well, maybe he is doubting that his status is not high enough?After all, some small nobles only have superficial beauty, but in fact they are not much better than ordinary people.

"I'm Roy West." Lei Zhe said with a straight face, "You should understand that it is a dream honor for so many mages to serve the West family. If your performance is good, I will consider asking my Father recommends you." He threw out a "empty check" that might be tempting to others, and a gleam of unknown meaning flashed in his eyes.

Although Lance knew little about nobles, he had heard of West, one of the highest nobles.

"Honorable Mr. West, it seems that you are not interested in my proposal. In this case, I have to hurry up and earn tomorrow's bread. Oh, please allow me to remind you again, please do not set fire in the woods .With your honorable status, although the Mage Temple will not blame you, it is not good for your family's reputation.

"Small shadow cats like to come and go alone. Even if they come to an unfamiliar environment, they will immediately divide their territories. Therefore, as long as you pay attention, you won't attract so many cats at the same time. Then, goodbye."

Lance finished what he wanted to say in a decent manner, and he was not interested in entangled with the noble any longer. He just wanted to continue hunting shadow cats to earn a few more gold coins.

"Wait." Lei Zhe took out three gold coins from the interspatial bag, tossed them in his hands, and then threw them on the ground, saying with a contemptuous smile, "Let's start working."

Lance watched the three gold coins roll on the ground a few times, then stopped.He withdrew his gaze from them, picked up his sack, and walked away without looking back.

But he had only taken a few steps when he heard a faint bang behind him, and a group of scorching flames was approaching rapidly.Under the scorching of this flame, the surrounding space became hot and twisted.
