Chapter 55 Refuge
Once the dragon-killing arrow was shot out, the momentum that swept the world locked the two women.
Even the powerful bows and arrows that can be shot by two-legged flying dragons may not be able to withstand even the second-level defensive witchcraft, not to mention that Lance did not give them the chance to release defensive spells!
In the blink of an eye, the bow and arrow as thick as a baby's forearm roared and killed the two girls.
The strong wind blew their hair into a mess. At that moment, Lance clearly saw the deep fear in their eyes.
However, the next second, a clear white light flashed, and then a soft sigh.
The white light gradually condensed, forming an arched protective cover that enveloped the two women.
The tip of the Dragon Killing Arrow stabbed hard on the shield, and the feathers at the tail rotated wildly, causing a turbulent airflow.
"Hmm? This protective cover...the strength is a bit exaggerated."
Lance looked at this scene with some surprise.
Ten seconds later, the explosive power of the Dragon Killing Arrow was consumed by the protective cover, and the entire arrow body was melted into molten iron by the terrifying heat, and slowly flowed down the outer periphery of the protective cover.
"Even the killing of dragon arrows can resist it, and it is an instant spell?"
Reims quietly took out another dragon-killing arrow and put it on Oslot's string.
His face became a little solemn. Before this, he had never encountered such a powerful defensive spell. The penetration and explosive power of the dragon-killing arrow were enough to crush all target obstacles.
Inside the thin shield, Lan's face turned pale. She looked at Lance in fear and swallowed. It took her a long time to pretend to be calm and said:
"Let us go. You, you can't do anything to us. I am the elect of the goddess Yueqin. This is the shelter given to me by the goddess, and you cannot kill me."
Lance raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
Hawkeye and Black Bat, which had already been turned on, feedback all data back, and the data flow was gathered into the main chip, and the fox immediately began to analyze the spell in front of him.
"The defense strength of the target spell is passing, and in three minutes, the spell will completely lose its effect."
In the end, the fox gave such an answer.
Lance smiled with satisfaction.
It turned out that it was not the magic she took the initiative to cast, but the shelter spell given by the goddess Yueqin. This kind of shelter spell. Lance has also seen it in some books about magicians. It is mostly passive. Only at the most dangerous moment will this spell pop up automatically to protect the lives of the gods and elected people.
But shelters like this usually don't last long.
In other words, with Lance's current monster-like physique, he can shoot out three to four dragon-killing arrows; but Lan's sanctuary can only be maintained once.
The situation has been decided.
"If you have even a little common sense, you should know that wizards don't care about the gods." Lance sneered: "How long can this refuge protect you? Three minutes? Three minutes later. Do you still have a chance to survive?"
Lan and Lucy's faces turned pale. They never expected that there would be so many tricky masters in a small white city!
According to the information given by the children of the two old city lords who fled to the Storm Country, they knew that five first-level wizards came to Baicheng. However, in the previous battle, Lan was shocked to find that Dora's actual level was a second-level wizard! This surprised her very much. In order to deal with Dora, she had to consume all the power of the sniper talisman and sacrifice all her loyal subordinates!
But even so, she still did not really kill Dora. Instead, at this moment, another inexplicable man jumped out. The man had no magical aura on his body and looked completely a mortal. But this seemingly inconspicuous mortal actually had such powerful power in his hand!
A seemingly ordinary arrow forced her last defensive method - a refuge.
"How is this possible?" Lan bit her lips tightly and lowered her proud head in disbelief.
Although the shelter is strong, it cannot move. This spell cannot allow them to fight against Lance, but only extends their death period.
"Miss Lan! When the power of the shelter is over, I will cover you and you will run away with all your might."
Lucy behind her said resolutely.
Lan looked at Lance, and a strange smile flashed across the latter's face.
A look of sadness appeared in her eyes and she whispered: "Lucy, thank you..."
Before the woman in black could reply, a severe pain penetrated her lower abdomen. In the silence, a sharp dagger penetrated her lower abdomen.
Lucy stared at Lan in disbelief. She hissed, "Miss Lan..."
"Lucy, didn't you say you would cover me with all your might? Thank you for your kindness." Lan said calmly: "Since you are willing to exchange your death for my life, then you should be able to accept it in another way, right?"
The woman in black eyes was filled with anger. She opened her mouth tremblingly and wanted to say something, but in the end she only sprayed a little blood and splattered on Lan's white clothes.
Lan snorted coldly, pulled out the dagger, and Lucy fell to the ground with her eyes blank.
The next second, the shelter suddenly disappeared into the air.
"Don't kill me. If you kill me, you may not have much benefit; if you don't kill me, you can get a lot from me. Believe me, choosing the latter is much more valuable than the former." Lan looked at Lance calmly and said, "Now, my people are dead and no one will know what happened today."
Lance and Dora looked at the unexpected scene, and the latter couldn't help but say, "For the sake of life, did you actually betray your own faith? And even killed your own friends?"
Lan shrugged and said, "This is nothing to do. And in a strict sense, I don't have any faith. As for my friends, it's even more ridiculous."
Lance still aimed at her with the dragon-killing arrow. The woman in front of him was cold and ruthless, and he had to be careful.
But he also admitted that she was right. Not killing her is much more valuable than killing her.
"Just killing your companions is not enough to win my trust," Lance said. "I want to know your secret."
"Secret?" Lan frowned: "Everyone has his own secret. If you want to get more information about the Moon Qin Temple from me, it's better not to talk about this."
"It's really interesting." Lance sneered: "As a prisoner at the ranks, do you think you are qualified to negotiate with me? Your indifference and decisiveness are indeed beyond my expectations, but there are some things that you may not be very clear about."
"To be honest, my shitty Yueqin Temple is not interested at all. Even if you don't tell me about the temple, it doesn't matter."
Lance's words hit Lan's heart. The face of the girl in white immediately changed.
"Aren't you here for 'that thing'?" she asked nervously.
Dora and Lance looked at each other and saw doubts in each other's eyes.
Lance looked at Lan and shook his head.
"Damn... it turns out that they are a group of passing wizards. Meditation on others is not the wizard's code of conduct." Lan bit her lip and said with some depression: "I wouldn't have come out to compete for me if I had known."
"Let's return to my question." Lance asked impatiently, "I want to know your secret... How did you become a voter of the goddess of the Moon Qin, it's obvious. You are not a devout believer. It's hard to say that you're even qualified to believe."
"This question... I can tell you. But I can only tell you one person." Lan glanced at Dora beside her with a little cunning look.
Her words were originally a test to see if she could stir up some muddy water between Dora and Lance; who knew that when Dora heard this, she immediately walked away and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.
"I'll take Lawrence back first. You can do whatever you want with this woman." Dora said.
Lance replied: "Thank you."
Then his eyes were fixed on Lan: "Now, can you say it?"
Lan was extremely depressed. When the Pope told them the stories of the wizards, didn’t he often say that the wizards were cold by nature and had a bad relationship with each other? The two men in front of the wizards were not at all wary of each other?
She looked at Lance, who seemed to be extremely impatient.
The dragon-killing arrow in his hand may be shot out at any time.
In order to survive, she could only sigh and slowly tell her secret.
...
In the north of Hanshan Mountain, in the middle of the Storm Country, the holy city [Agena Bay] is warm as spring all year round.
The most magnificent building in the city is the headquarters of the Yueqin Temple and the Centennial Cathedral.
It was midnight, and the entire holy city was bathed in the quiet night. For this city, which was soaked in soft and beautiful lakes, every night was extremely quiet. In addition to the temple staff, even the nobles of the Storm Kingdom could not go out at night.
Outside the Centennial Cathedral, a candlelight floats on the lake. A stone bridge spans the two sides of the shore like a rainbow. A small boat was parked under the bridge, and an old man in a white robe sat on it.
The old man just sat on the boat and looked at the lake quietly.
Several clergymen scattered on the bridge from time to time, but they seemed to have not discovered the existence of the old man.
After a while, a tall figure walked out of the city and slowly stepped onto the arch bridge.
The man looked a little worried and looked sad.
When he walked to the center of the arch bridge, the old man under the bridge suddenly spoke slowly: "Augustus!"
The man on the bridge was startled, as if it was at this time that he saw the old man sitting under the bridge.
"Pope, Pope..." He stammered at the old man, completely losing his usual style as a giant in the courtroom.
The old man opened his hands and stared at Augustus.
After a while, he whispered: "Childish!"
With this sound, a black shadow suddenly fell from Augustus's ears. The black shadow fell on the ground, struggled for a few times, and finally died tragically.
Augustus's face was pale, and he looked at the black shadow on the ground: "Is it a brainworm?"
"That child Lan is so inappropriate." The old man sighed and said, "Your sniper talisman has been taken away by her, right?"
Augustus stood there with a red face, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.
"Go and kill them." The old man said calmly.
Augustus carefully savored the meaning of the old man's words. When he understood, the latter had disappeared on the boat. (To be continued...)
