Wizard: I want to be a top student
Chapter 115 Sneak Attack and Response
"Be careful!"
"How dare you!"
Without any warning, the city lord's personal guards drew their swords and rushed forward. There were six people, including the captain of the personal guards. They didn't care about the city lord and his son behind them. They attacked with a shocking move and aimed at the apprentice in front of them to make a fatal assassination.
Their move was beyond everyone's expectations and caught people off guard.
Seeing this, the city lord and his son were terrified and hurriedly picked up their weapons to stop them.
The next second, they saw a scene that made people respect and fear.
One by one, the swift wood moths emerged from Yi Wen's apprentice robe and shot at the assassin behind him like bullets, one after another.
The assassin didn't care and only wanted to kill the target. He fought with his life and didn't care whether he was injured or not.
The swift wood moths were like fine steel. It would undoubtedly cost a painful price to underestimate them.
The assassins fell one by one in less than two seconds.
"Kill!"
The assassins still had ferocious faces after falling to the ground, and they kept struggling, as if they wanted to kill Ivan. However, they had been crippled by the Swift Wood Moth, and it was difficult for them to stand up.
The Swift Wood Moth drilled out of their bodies, bringing out a large piece of flesh and blood, but it did not change the assassins' determination to kill the target.
"Well done."
Ivan had been alert for a long time, and when the assassination broke out, he took a few steps to the side and front lightly. When he turned around, he found that the Swift Wood Silkworm had solved the crisis and he didn't need to take action again.
If he didn't want to leave a survivor, none of those who attacked him would survive.
"Sir Ivan, are you okay?" City Lord Simmons was shocked and angry. At the moment, he could only suppress other emotions and look at Ivan anxiously, hoping that the other party would not blame the Swamp Forest City for the incident.
He carefully selected the guards, all of whom were middle and high-level knights. In a blink of an eye, they were all knocked down by the wizard apprentices in front of them. With such strength, it would be easy for him to deal with him. How could he not worry?
Ivan ignored Simmons and ran quickly to the other side of the street.
After a while, he stopped at a corner of the street and did not find any suspicious people.
"Escaped? Or was there no one watching?"
He just noticed some unusual movements, but unfortunately he was a step late.
Ivan's fingers lightly pressed, and a trace of breath gathered. The next second, a spell was cast, and the breath turned into a butterfly. The butterfly flapped its wings and the whole body collapsed. The tracking spell failed.
It didn't work.
The failure of the tracking spell made him conclude that there must be other apprentices behind the scenes, and the opponent's strength is not low.
"Sir, do you think you want to search the whole city?" Simmons and his son followed from a distance and came closer when they saw him return.
"No need, this is a cunning enemy."
"Sir Ivan, please believe that the previous attack was definitely not arranged by us. I didn't know that they were also infected with the disease, otherwise I would not dare to arrange them around me. If we were not careful, my father and son would die here. I have to thank you for this. Thank you for clearing the hidden dangers around us."
Simons was scared that his guards had become crazy. If they launched the previous sneak attack on him, he asked himself that he could not avoid it in a hurry. Once such an accident occurred, he would definitely die.
Ivan returned to the assassination scene: "This matter needs to be investigated. You can deal with those mercenaries. I will check these assassins first."
The guards still retained their fierce side. Sure enough, there were patterns composed of lines in their eyes. Compared with the ones on the heads of beasts, these were more complete and delicate. Ivan checked them one by one.
He had a vague sense of familiarity.
What kind of runes were they?
While he was thinking carefully, the city lord Simmons commanded the guards to turn defense into offense.
"Break their hands and feet for me." Simmons was stimulated by the betrayal of the guards. He issued a new order fiercely. Only by making the crazy people lose their ability to move can there be no hidden dangers.
The guards are stronger than the mercenaries, not to mention that the mercenaries have become crazy beasts now, and their combat effectiveness is not as good as when they are sober.
After a while, the guards paid some price to take down the opponent.
Ivan didn't care about these. While the mercenaries were still crazy, he checked the patterns that appeared in their eyes. There was no completeness in the eyes of the sneak attackers.
"So that's it. The patterns tend to be meditation runes. No wonder they give people a sense of familiarity." He muttered to himself. This was not unexpected to him. The patterns can control people, not just spiritual things.
What made him suspicious was that the other party could control so many people, which made people have to think deeply.
He thought of the cloud servants on Lar Island. Perhaps there was a special rune witch formation behind them, or a powerful magic item. In short, there must be a control hub in the Swamp Forest City that can manipulate these people.
If such a thing can be found, the mission will surely make a breakthrough.
Thinking of this, he prepared to find Gina to explain the situation.
The secret mark did not respond, indicating that Gina was out of the call range, so he could only leave a message instead.
The incident caused by the mercenaries and the guards came to an end quickly. They were all broken and sent to the cell. After the two groups of people recovered, they explained what happened.
"I only remember that I was very angry, and there was a sense of resentment in my body. I just wanted to destroy and kill. If I didn't do it, I would feel uncomfortable all over. If I did it, my strength seemed to be improved."
"So I followed my inner feelings and did it. I don't remember what I destroyed or killed."
"Lord, spare me, I didn't mean it. I was bewitched by someone."
The mercenary woke up and found his new situation. His hands and feet were broken and he was locked in a cell. It was like a bolt from the blue for everyone.
Ivan asked a lot of questions, no matter how big or small. He analyzed that these people could not be controlled for no reason. There should be a common medium, which is related to the control hub.
As long as we follow this clue, what is hidden behind the accident should be solved.
"My lord, I have said everything I should say. Please forgive my sins. I am the only one in my family who can make money. My family is waiting for me to go back. Please."
"Yes, yes, if I don't go back, my family will not survive. Please give us a way out."
The mercenaries knew that they had to get out as soon as possible. In the cell environment, their injuries would soon worsen and might reach a level that could not be cured. By then, everything would be too late.
"You have to support your family, don't you need the people you killed?" Simmons said coldly.
The mercenaries' hearts sank when they heard this, and the situation they least wanted to see still happened.
Before the guards arrived, they not only destroyed things in the city, but also killed seven civilians and injured more than a dozen people. Of course, all this cannot be easily turned over.
Ivan came to the cell on the other side, where the guards who attacked him were imprisoned.
Under the attack of the Swift Wood Silkworm, the guards were more seriously injured than the mercenaries.
"Tell me, who instructed you to attack Lord Ivan?"
Hearing this, some guards looked at their city lord in confusion and anger, their faces painful and hesitant.
Their eyes have told others the answer to this question.
