080, One Arrow Shoots Three Kingdoms
080, shot three countries with one arrow
Almost all the warriors and magicians in Mengfeisi City are in the square, and their vigilance is very strict, but the main responsibility of the warriors is to maintain order, and they never dream of having assassins! There are too many people in the square, and it is impossible to avoid ill-hearted people coming in. However, there is no difference between trying to make trouble in such occasions and seeking death, but someone did this.
The assassin chose a very clever time, when the milky white light in the golden sky fell, everyone crawled and knelt on the ground. Judging from the size of the arrow, only the strongest crossbow could shoot, but the assassin used a bow! The bow string was originally wrapped around his waist, while the bow and the arrow were hidden in a cane. The assassin disguised himself as a staggering old man. While the people were kneeling and praying, he drew the bow and shot it suddenly, and his movements were as fast as lightning.
Not to mention the power and accuracy of this arrow, even if the action of suddenly shooting this arrow is at least a great warrior can do it!
It is too difficult to shoot Maria this arrow. How could the Saint Maiden have no protection when performing magic? The magic array is a barrier. What the assassin wants to use is people's slackness. This arrow is extremely strange. When he bounced off Amon's gun, he paused in the air for a moment, and then the speed actually became faster.
This was enough for the guard to react. There were twelve big warriors under the high platform where the saint cast a spell, and six people facing this direction. Several sword lights soared into the sky, almost at the same time, and even if this arrow was made of the most solid material in the world, it would be shattered.
But unexpected things happened again. There were violent waves of power fluctuations in the air, but no sound was made. Amon used divine art to detect it. Every time the sword light slashed the flying arrow, the arrow trembled like a phantom, and the violent shock made it almost impossible to see clearly. It paused several times in the air, but did not change its direction and continued to fly forward, shooting into the air covered by the divine art array.
Amon took a breath of air conditioning. He was definitely a rare big warrior who could shoot such an amazing arrow. But his javelin and the sword lights of several big warriors intercepted the scene of this arrow, which made Amon think of an extremely brilliant magic technique - the energy magic technique.
There is no low-level or intermediate-level energy magic. It starts at a high-level. Amon can barely start practicing it now. This kind of magic magic is very profound and even difficult to understand. All kinds of magic magic emphasize the communication with external energy and transform the power of natural laws. The energy magic is the pure use of energy.
Although Amon has not practiced it, he has a feeling that the energy magic contained in this arrow is probably only able to do with the top magicians. The impact, transformation, and consumption of energy cannot change its direction. Before the power of this arrow is completely consumed, it will fly to the target.
How is this possible? No one can be both a top warrior and a top magician. This is the ultimate of the power of one and two sides that Amon pursues. Could it be that the assassin is a god?
There is another possibility. The crossbow arrow itself is an extremely precious artifact. A great warrior and a great magician took action at the same time. The warrior shot the arrow with all his strength, and the magician used the energy magician to the arrow.
Amon couldn't think carefully in such a short time. He wanted to continue to stop the arrow and was powerless to do anything. He turned around and rushed towards the direction where the arrow was shooting. He also took away the gun from another warrior while running. It was the warrior closest to Amon, who was kneeling on the ground piously, and he didn't know what had happened. He kept the gun at hand, and he didn't even know that it had been taken away by Amon.
The arrow shot towards the high platform, and a golden light shield suddenly appeared in the void. The arrow was frozen in the air for about one breath, and passed through the light shield and shot towards Maria.
The distance was already very close, only a dozen steps away. Maria was standing on the platform and was performing extremely difficult magic. She couldn't move without stopping. But at this moment, a man had already jumped onto the platform and stood in front of the Saint, which was Gabriel.
The blessing to all people did not stop. The echo of the bell was still floating in the square. Maria had various protections all over her body, including transparent air element armor, invisible energy shields, and divine art shields that flashed with colorful light. All the wise magicians in Meng Feisi City were all under the high platform at this moment, and a large part of the magicians were circulating the magic array, but the others were not pretending, so they immediately took action to protect the saint.
Everything happened too quickly, and it was not the ability of people but the reaction. Maria could have gone apart, but that meant that the ceremony was interrupted, and she chose to trust the people around her. These protections should be able to block this arrow, but Gabriel could not let this happen. She did something beyond the rules - only the saint could climb the platform, but she jumped up!
Gabriel swung the sword in his right hand, and the silver sword slashed violently on the black arrow. The divine stone inlaid on the sword thigh was shattered, and the sword body was broken into several pieces. Then time seemed to have stopped, and Gabriel's left hand held the arrow, and the tip of the arrow barely touched the armor on her chest.
Her hands were very steadily grasping, and the arrow was trembling like a struggling poisonous snake. Blood was seeping out of Gabriel's nails. The arrow was blocked! When the tremor of the arrow gradually stopped, countless cracks appeared on the arrow's body, and then it turned into pieces of fragments and landed on the ground.
Amon did not catch up with the assassin. After the assassin shot a cold arrow, he stomped his feet and jumped high and flew to the edge of the square. Amon turned around and saw only a figure. Then someone flew over and chased him in the air, and someone jumped over the ground, stepping on the small open space between the crowd, and chasing out of the square after several rises and falls.
Maria on the platform had already moved her lips slightly and gave an order: "Wald brought the magician, Longteng brought the warrior to chase the assassin, Burke continued to launch the magic array, and the ceremony should not be interrupted. The order in the square of Longying commands must not be confused!"
Wald is a level nine magician, the chief high priest of the Temple of Isis, and the other two high priests are Julian and Burke. Longteng is a level eight warrior, the chief guardian of the Temple of Isis, and Longying is another great samurai. Maria publicly ordered the command of these people at the same time for the first time, and there was no hesitation in an emergency.
Wald led two great magicians, and Long Teng led two great warriors to chase them out in total. Seeing the speed of the assassin's escape, ordinary people could not catch up at all. This was the real assassin. He shot a blow, no matter whether he hit or not, and then fled thousands of miles away. As long as he reacted a little slower, he could not even touch his shadow.
Amon couldn't help at all. He turned around and ran to pick up the gun and looked up. He saw the assassin jumping out of the square in one step. Another person threw out something, turned into a shuttle in the air, wrapping up the figures of the two, and shot away. As expected, the assassin was not the same person. There was another person responding to the edge of the square, and he had already prepared a magical artifact to escape. The magical arts used by the responder were so brilliant, and he was obviously a top magical artifact!
The assassin jumped out, making Amon seem to see a familiar shadow. He had only seen the legendary mainland warrior Enqidu, with such amazing power and speed, and his figure was so similar! If Enqidu was really, then the person who came to him must be Gilgamesh. These two people are not afraid of heaven or earth, and even gods dare to kill them.
If Enqidu and Gilgamesh were really the only ones, they had the ability, but why did they run to Mengfeisi City to assassinate the Saint? This doesn't make sense anyway, and these two heroes don't look like people who can be assassins. Amon didn't see who those two were, and he was just a little suspicious but could not be sure of it.
This was an amazing event, but except for the guards around the platform and Amon in the distance, hundreds of thousands of people kneeling in the square did not even notice it. Everything happened between a few breaths of the bell echoing. The saint ordered the ceremony not to be interrupted, and the people should not be alarmed on the spot. The trackers had already followed the assassins. The three great magicians and three great warriors, and the Mengfeisi City was protected by the great magic array, so it was difficult for any assassin to escape.
After the blessing ceremony ended, it was a carnival of brilliance, and the people in the city shouted praises to Goddess Isis. People have been looking forward to this festival for thirty-three years. The city of Mengfeisi in the carnival hides a tense atmosphere. The guardian function of the magic array on the city wall was quietly turned on, and the detection function was also turned on to the extreme. The guards guarding the city did not participate in the carnival, and patrolling warriors could be seen in every corner.
Meng Feisi City looks like nothing unexpected happened. It is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. The saint completed all the rituals of this ceremony according to tradition, and at the same time, he kept ordering more people to investigate the assassins.
Neither the samurai nor the priests could go home. Amon was transferred to the city wall to guard that night, and the next day he returned to the Isis Temple to serve on the archives. After the blessing ceremony, he received an order not to publicize what he saw in the square, because the Saint did not want to cause panic among the people.
There was news that the assassin appeared at the Isis blessing ceremony, but it was spread inside the Isis temple. Amon also heard the private discussions of his colleagues. It is said that the chief high priest Wald, who led his men, did not catch the assassin and let them escape!
On the third night, Amon suddenly received a notice and the chief high priest Wald summoned him. He was taken to a majestic palace where there were no candles or oil lamps, but decorated with shining divine stones. The divine illumination showed its luxury. Not only did the chief high priest Wald, but there were also the lord of Mengfeisi City Daya Tuyang and the great warrior Gabriel.
To Amon's slightly disappointed, Maria was not present.
The High Priest Wald and the Lord of Daya praised Amon's actions in the square. The main question was Gabriel. She said in an approving tone: "The square is too big, and most of the magicians help the saints bless the people in the magic array, and the other magicians and great warriors are also around the platform. The place where the assassin is located is the edge of the square, and there is not even a magician within a hundred steps around it.
You are not the closest samurai to the assassin. There are twelve people as close as you, and there are four warriors closer to the assassin. I saw the javelin you threw, but I didn't expect that you have achieved level 6 and your strength has reached the peak of level 6 warriors. Apart from you, the highest samurai around the assassin is level 4, no wonder you can only react.
There are two main things to call you here today. One is that Lord Daya wants to ask you what reward you want to receive? The news of the assassin at the blessing ceremony will spread sooner or later. Lord Saint has ordered that from tomorrow no longer need to hide it, and you can accept people's praise. The other is that you want to ask if you have seen the appearance of the assassin clearly. Please try to recall it clearly."
Reward? Amon is neither short of money nor treasures. The so-called reward is really unnecessary. He replied respectfully: "My life was saved by the Saint, by the Ronnie River, otherwise he had already fallen in the wilderness and fed the beasts. With my weak strength, I could not stop the assassin's arrow. I just tried my best. All this is what I should do. If I find that the assassin cannot stop immediately, as a warrior on duty, I should only be punished. I am just performing my duties and not asking for any reward.
To be honest, I didn't see the assassin's appearance clearly. When I turned around, he had already flew out of the square and saw only a figure, very tall and burly. But I had a feeling that I didn't know if it was right. This person's body movement was very light, and it seemed that he had changed his body shape. As for the other person who was supporting me, I didn't see clearly at all, just a black shadow flashed away."
He carefully recalled every scene he saw in the square that day. After listening, the adults looked at each other a few times. Wald nodded and said, "I followed the assassin until this afternoon. I didn't catch anyone, and I didn't expect you to see clearly, but I still have to ask what I should ask, to make things difficult for you, the warrior. What you said just now is very important. Can you tell me the reason? Why do you feel that way?"
Amon shook his head and said, "I can't describe it. I recall the scenes at that time these days, and I always feel that the assassin's body shape does not match his posture. It's just a feeling, and there is no clear reason."
The Lord of Daya said, "This brave warrior, you probably don't know how terrible the person you are facing is. You will rush over. This fearless spirit is worthy of praise. Although you don't ask for any reward, as the Lord of the City, I must reward you. This is an order that cannot be refused. What else do you have to say?"
Amon looked up and said, "Since that's the case, I'll thank you Lord City Lord! Actually, I just want to ask one thing, can the Saint be safe?"
Gabriel said, "Of course the Saint is safe and sound. There are many things to deal with in the past few days. Amon, you should step down first. The Saint will summon you when you have time."
The Lord of Meng Feisi gave him a huge sum of money and a set of samurai armor and weapons. They are naturally good things, but they are nothing compared to Amon's private collection.
Amon is now a Level 6 warrior, and his achievements are quite high. From the next day, Amon, a Level 6 warrior who made contributions, was promoted to the captain of the Isis Temple Archives. His monthly salary increased from five gold coins to fifteen gold coins, and he also owned a residence with a separate courtyard. His colleagues were extremely envious and expressed their congratulations.
Amon didn't care about these things. All he expected was the words Gabriel said. The Saint would take the time to summon him. He really wanted to meet Maria, and he hadn't even had the chance to see her appearance in the past six months.
...
On the same night that Amon was talking to the High Priest Wald and others, two people were talking in the distant Assyrian kingdom, the palace of the capital Nineveh. Sitting in the middle was the Assyrian king Sinach, and sitting sideways was Lord Alpha, the prime minister of the Assyrian kingdom.
The Prime Minister is over 60 years old and has obviously gained weight. He sat there leaning forward and his belly tightened his clothes on his waist. He said with concern: "Your Majesty, count the time. It has been three days since the Queen and the National Master assassinated the Saint in Meng Feisi, but the news has not been sent back."
King Sinach of Assyrian king was less than forty years old, with strong physique, eyes and eyes that were bright, with deep bent noses. His appearance was very majestic and he didn't dare to look at them. He smiled faintly and said, "I know how capable Queen Semir is. No one would have thought that someone would assassinate. If you want to escape after a blow, it would be even more foolproof. If you have the help of the sage national teacher Faust, it would be even more foolproof. Meng Feisi has been here thousands of miles away. It is normal that the news cannot be returned in just three days. We can just wait."
Prime Minister Alpha said again: "Your Majesty has this idea, you must think twice before you act. You actually sent two people so important to the kingdom to take risks. The old minister really didn't expect that you would order Your Majesty to be an assassin!"
Sinach smiled again: "Actually, this is the idea of the sage national teacher Faust. He took the initiative to ask for his orders to do this. I will give orders in the name of the king and the queen will take action personally. The German teacher of Faust is far-sighted. Regardless of whether the assassination of the saint can succeed, the three kingdoms will definitely be in chaos for a while, which is the most beneficial to our Assyria."
Alpha asked again with some confusion: "Three Kingdoms? Is Your Majesty talking about Eju, Hathi, and Barron?"
Sinach smiled proudly: "Yes, assassinating the Saint in public at the blessing ceremony is equivalent to declaring war on the Eju Empire! Eju Pharaoh Rassis II is arrogant and ambitious. How could he give up such a great opportunity to launch a war?"
Alpha: "Who will he declare war on?"
Sinach slapped the armrest of the chair: "Of course, it will not declare war on us Assyria. The one that really conflicts with Eju is Hathi, who is gradually departing from the fate of surrender to Eju Empire."
Alpha: "Then why is Barron involved?"
The Assyrian king blinked and said, "They can't catch the assassin. My Prime Minister, think about it carefully. Who on the mainland has the ability to escape safely after assassinating the Saint, and who two people have the courage to do so?"
Alpha suddenly reacted: "Enqidu and Gilgamesh?"
Sinach's laughter made the roof tremble. He laughed and said, "My Prime Minister, your first reaction is the same. Who told them to be too popular? Rases II would not have imagined!"
Alpha's expression was very worried: "Although everyone would doubt it, what reason does Enqidu and Gilgamesh have to do this?"
**
***: I finally got home safely. I had only one hour's voyage, but I walked for three days. I was so miserable! Thank you for your patience for waiting, I'm really sorry!
