Witcher starts with Get Inspiration Panel

Seeing that Richard had finished his work, Stephana looked at Richard with an apologetic look and said, "Master, are you okay? I was still a step too slow."

"Fortunately, it's a small injury. Thanks to you this time. Otherwise, I would have been miserable." Richard smiled bitterly.

What just happened happened in the blink of an eye. Stephana was able to react quickly and brought Richard into the shadow world at the critical moment. It was too late for Richard to thank him, so how could he complain that the other party came too slowly.

Moreover, Richard saw that Stephana's face was pale and without a trace of blood, and he knew that the time she took him to hide in the shadow world must have greatly exceeded the upper limit of her ability, so she had symptoms of overdraft of mental energy.

Looking back on the sudden battle just now, Richard still felt a little frightened.

"If Stephana hadn't followed me this time, I would have been seriously injured this time!"

"Judging from the enemy's behavior, it doesn't seem to be from the Jade Fire Cult."

"It runs away as soon as it misses a hit. It is very similar to that kind of professional killer organization or assassination organization. I don't know much about the assassination organization that is relatively famous in the gray dwarf area because I don't pay much attention to it."

"However, the woman in black robe who asked for directions always gave me an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Although I had never heard the other person's voice when asking."

"Hey! By the way, I know what this inexplicable feeling of familiarity is about!"

In his mind, Richard reviewed the scene where the other party took the initiative to come forward and asked him questions. After reviewing it several times, he was basically sure that the other party should be a high-level spider woman like Stepina.

There are two details here. The first is the body shape. Although the other party is wearing a hood and a black robe, after the breeze blows, the close-fitting wizard robe outlines the other party's graceful and slender figure. This kind of figure is that of a high-end spider. Unique to women.

There are obvious differences from gray dwarves, fishmen and even lizardmen.

Secondly, although the other party spoke fluent gray dwarf language, looking back carefully now, it was mixed with two unusual accents, which revealed that the other party probably did not live in the gray dwarf area for a long time.

Although these two points cannot be used as 100% evidence, he is not solving the case and does not need to prove anything.

If one point is a coincidence, then if there are two points, there is a high probability that it is not a coincidence.

"Master, enemy attack!" Stephana shouted anxiously.

This shout immediately brought Richard back from his thoughts.

Richard quickly followed Stephana's line of sight and saw a black figure holding a giant bow suddenly appear on the roof of the shop along the street behind them.

At this moment, the other party had already started shooting arrows at the two of them.

Richard's pupils suddenly shrank. Isn't this guy the archer among the three who attacked him before?

Unexpectedly, the opponent didn't retreat yet, and even shot him a counterattack!

Obviously, the pale Stephana, whose mental strength has not yet recovered, is no longer able to lead him to perform shadow transformation again to avoid the opponent's upcoming attack.

I saw the archer suddenly pulling the huge bowstring in his hand to full length.

"Charge a powerful blow!" the archer scolded.

A black light spot suddenly appeared at the front end of her arrow. It quickly grew to the size of an apple at a speed visible to the naked eye, and continued to expand.

"Wow~"

From the black light spot, violent energy fluctuations and tidal sounds continued to be heard.

Judging solely from the degree of energy fluctuations, the opponent's attack this time is not simple.

Moreover, the more critical issue is that the timing of the opponent's card is too good. The card was just after the last sneak attack and the mental state of Richard and Stepina had just relaxed.

It is also the time when you are most tired and slow to react.

The black-robed archer's thumb suddenly relaxed when holding the arrow.

"Whoosh!"

The arrow hit a black energy ball the size of a human head and headed straight towards the area where Richard and Stephana were.

With the help of arrows, the black energy ball moves very fast, like a spherical lightning with a "little tail".

After shooting this powerful and heavy arrow, the black-robed archer didn't even look to see if the arrow hit successfully. Instead, he immediately took out a fist-sized glass bottle filled with green liquid from his arms and threw it towards the street. The person quickly disappeared.

The moment the other party revealed her figure, Richard pulled Stephana behind him. At the same time, thinking silently in his heart, a huge inverse pentagram witch formation suddenly appeared under his feet.

With a flash of dazzling green light, a huge abomination over three and a half meters tall was summoned.

The summoned resentful spirit was disgusted and found that its master Richard was in front of him, so he narrowed his small eyes and grinned, deliberately revealing a charming smile, as if he was planning to please Richard.

But the next second, it discovered something was wrong, because a violent energy fluctuation came from behind it.

When it looked back in confusion, it discovered that a black arrow was pointing at a black energy ball the size of a human head, heading straight towards it at extremely fast speeds.

Now, it immediately understood the intention of its owner, Richard, in summoning it.

This is to use it as a shield!

The resentful spirit's hateful face suddenly showed a wry smile!

However, although the resentful spirit had a wry smile on its face, the movements of its hands were not slow at all. Its left and right hands quickly crossed the giant iron ax and the heavy hammer ball to protect its chest.

Almost at the same time, Richard, the master, put his hands on Wraith's waist, which was much thicker than a bucket. Two dark silver-gray metal films like water quickly converged on Wraith's back. chest.

Due to the insufficient amount of mimetic metal and the large surface area of ​​the body of the Wraith Abomination, only half of a thin metal breastplate and a metal helmet could be formed.

But this move by Richard made the resentful spirit hate particularly heartwarming.

Immediately, the huge body also slightly adjusted its posture, firmly protecting the owner behind it to meet the coming attack.

"boom!!"

"Duo!"

The black ball of light hit the intersection of the two weapons of Wraith and Hatred, and immediately, a violent explosion occurred!

The power of the explosion was so powerful that it was as big as the resentful spirit Abomination, and it actually took a few steps back before barely standing.

The two weapons used by Wraith Abomination to block were all damaged at this time. There was a huge gap on the blade of the iron ax, and the heavy hammer ball had fallen to the ground.

Due to the hatred of the resentful spirit blocking him like a wall, the shock wave of the explosion only made Richard take two steps back.

And Stephana behind Richard was even more safe, and it seemed that Stephana's veil had only been blown away.

After the smoke dissipated, Richard, dressed in black bone armor, quickly stepped forward to check on the Wraith's injuries.

Under the protection of the mimic metal, the overall injury was much better than Richard expected, but the black feather arrow still penetrated the defense of the mimic metal, and most of it penetrated into the chest of the resentful spirit.

"Hiss! What a sinister attack!" Richard's face couldn't help but froze. In this double attack, the last feathered arrow was the fatal blow.

If he didn't have a huge summon like the Wraith Abomination to resist him, I'm afraid this arrow would penetrate his body in an instant.

No elemental shield, bone armor or the like can completely protect against this blow.

At this time, the green glass bottle that was thrown to the ground instantly shattered, causing large amounts of light green smoke to drift into the street.

If you get closer, you can smell the pungent smell, which is obviously highly poisonous.

Richard quickly pulled Stephana back to a safe area.

——

Rescue always comes too late.

Although Hawkins was already very fast, by the time he arrived with two of his men, the assassins had already disappeared.

"Levi, how are you? Are you injured?" Hawkins casually cast a hurricane spell to disperse the poisonous mist, and pulled Richard with concern and asked.

"Sir Hawkins, I'm fine." Richard waved his hand, indicating to Hawkins not to worry.

After Hawkins looked Richard up and down, he seemed to confirm that Richard was not seriously injured, and the anxious look on his face faded a lot.

At this time, a small group of city guards blocked the scene and began preliminary investigation work.

Apart from a series of explosions and traces of witchcraft, the assassin left no effective information.

Hawkins asked a wizard from the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood to stay, and after checking on the relevant situation, he took Richard back to the headquarters of the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood.

After all, it is inconvenient to say many things on the street.

On the second floor of the gray dwarf brotherhood headquarters, in Hawkins's vice-president's office.

Hawkins and Richard sat facing each other on the soft leather sofa.

"Levi, do you have any guesses about the assassin?" Hawkins asked, looking into Richard's eyes.

Hawkins was also quite confused about the assassination that Richard suffered this time.

The previous assassination that led to Disol's death can be attributed to a private vendetta. Richard was implicated by Disol.

After all, in the incident with Nicol a few years ago, Lord Baghdadi and Dissol severely injured Nicol on the spot. If Nicol hadn't escaped by chance, he would have been killed at that time.

Therefore, it makes sense in all aspects that the other party came to take revenge last time.

But this time, Hawkins felt that the assassination that Richard suffered was quite strange.

Although there were not many useful traces and information left at the scene, he had already seen some clues due to his rich experience.

It seems that the assassination of Levi came from the secret espionage organization of the night elves, the mortal enemies of the gray dwarves MI3.

Ordinary people don't know that night elves touch spies to assassinate them.

"It should be the killer of the night elves. In the previous battle between the surface Necromancer Academy and the night elves, I used alchemy bombs to kill several high-level spider women on the night elves' side, so..."

Richard explained with mixed truth and falsehood.

Obviously, he must not disclose the mixed black dragon origin blood and the seizure of the night elf bloodline witchcraft.

If it is revealed, even if Hawkins himself is trustworthy, the senior leaders of the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood may not necessarily have the same attitude as Hawkins, let alone the Gray Dwarf officials.

The expression on Richard's hesitation that he was about to speak well expressed his modest attitude of not wanting to deliberately take credit.

Hawkins stroked the beard on his chin and nodded. He had no doubts about what Richard said, and he also admired Richard's humble attitude.

"He has achieved great things at a young age, but he is neither arrogant nor impetuous. He can continue to study alchemy calmly. This is the first time I have seen such a young man. Alas! Why haven't I seen this among the gray dwarves? young genius."

"Levi's talent in alchemy is obvious to all. It is entirely possible for the opponent to accidentally fall into a bomb or trap laid by Levi, resulting in heavy casualties.

but

Li Wei has come to the gray dwarf area, but he can still find the other party. What does this mean?

This shows that either there is a spy within the gray dwarves, or they have been infiltrated by night elf spies. Therefore, the secret identity of Levi, who provided the alchemy combination bomb, was known to the night elf spies.

This must be the reason why the current assassination incident occurred!

well! The organizational work was not in place, and this young alchemist master nearly suffered misfortune twice! "

After thinking about the above information, Hawkins couldn't help but feel very sorry for Richard.

From Richard's perspective.

Since the last assassination incident, Richard has listed the inquiries he may encounter and carefully considered the relevant answers one by one.

Therefore, now Richard's answer is almost seamless.

Unless the gray dwarves caught his assassin and pried out some key information from the other party.

But this possibility is slim.

When it comes to defeating or even killing assassins from the night elves, Richard feels that the gray dwarves have this strength.

But it is much more difficult to pry out key information from a night elf spy than to kill a night elf spy.

The reasons will not be described again.

Not wanting Hawkins to continue to stare at the assassination, Richard took the initiative and said:

"Mr. Hawkins, I happen to have an improved formula when I come here this time. I would like to ask you to help me evaluate it."

Richard slowly took out a parchment from his arms and handed it to Hawkins.

Hawkins took it with a curious look on his face, opened it and looked at it carefully.

After a while, Hawkins's facial expression became richer. Although he tried his best to hide it, the faint surprise and joy were still revealed from the brows.

This made Richard smile inwardly.

It seems that in terms of facial micro-expression management, it is difficult for gray dwarves to compare with "old and cunning" humans because of their bold and cheerful nature.

Even a second-level wizard like Hawkins, who holds a high position in the gray dwarf region, is difficult to compare with the average profiteer among humans.

"Li Wei, your talent in alchemy is really unmatched by ordinary people." Hawkins looked at Richard up and down again with his bright eyes and praised.

"The formula you improved this time is very practical. I think it can be exchanged for four thousand contribution points. Of course, if you have other items you want to exchange, you can also propose them. Even if you do not have enough authority, I will help you think of them. Method."

Perhaps because he felt guilty for Richard's two consecutive assassinations, Hawkins specially added the last sentence.

What Richard was waiting for was what Hawkins said next.
