Chapter 18 New Wonders
The Gladiator on the first level of the Road to Conquest has no resistance to magic.
Lucius' arm instantly became necrotic and then torn apart. Even the old mercenary couldn't help but wail in pain. The sweaty man couldn't concentrate on throwing the alchemical explosives.
"Siyat warrior! You will die here!"
The middle-aged priest roared and swung the blue axe. He suddenly accelerated and rushed in front of Lucius. His speed was so fast that there was even a slight afterimage.
That blue axe is a mysterious object that can "accelerate"!
His eyes were fierce, and he swung the axe, determined to chop off Lucius's head!
"Protection!"
A purple light appeared in Lucius' eyes. He roared, raised the hand holding the blade, and subconsciously exerted the mysterious power contained in the rune.
He knew that the rune could not be activated continuously and that it only lasted for a short time, so he had to seize the best opportunity.
After the blue axe fell, the fatal blow was blocked by an invisible repulsive force. The middle-aged priest was shocked and decided to strike again with the axe. He would eventually kill the opponent if he continued to chop.
Carl was gazing at this scene from the sky. Just when he decided to directly order Irene to "sacrifice her life", the situation suddenly changed.
"Great Lord of the Lost, please protect me."
She calmly and steadily raised the alchemical flintlock in her hand, aimed at the open window upstairs, and the next moment fired the specially made bullet with increased power with great concentration.
Off the mark!
Carl knew the bullet had deviated the moment it was fired. Irene had not practiced shooting much, and even with the alchemical flintlock rifle that increased shooting accuracy, its accuracy was still not good enough.
However, a ray of black light from the depths of the soul suddenly emerged!
Carl could feel that it was his own power, and the bullet that should have been deflected suddenly changed its trajectory as if it had dropped a frame, and hit the shoulder of the middle-aged priest with great accuracy.
What's going on?
This was completely beyond Carl's expectations. It was not the space that changed, but it felt as if the world line had shifted!
"hateful!"
The specially made alchemical bullet penetrated his shoulder, blood immediately flowed out, and the middle-aged priest's attack was immediately interrupted.
He wanted to raise the axe again, but suddenly felt that the extraordinary power in his body was being eroded by some mysterious black light.
What's going on?
impossible! Never heard of anything like this!
What exactly is that black light?
The middle-aged priest showed an expression of disbelief. The Fisher family was more powerful than he had imagined. He could even vaguely feel that the Fisher family was hiding some more terrifying power.
Carl could feel a little bit of spirituality gradually flowing into his body. The black light attached to the bullet was like his own clone, and it was like some kind of evil disease devouring the spirituality deep in the soul of the middle-aged priest.
So that's how it is. Anyone who is hurt or killed by Irene in some way will have their spirit taken away by herself.
Carl immediately realized that compared to other members of the Fisher family, Irene had a closer relationship with him, almost like half of his own clone.
Well, it was definitely because the long stairway to the gods that she walked on was the "road to divine sacrifice", and her ability to "worship the gods" as a servant made her closer to him.
Irene reloaded the bullets in the alchemical flintlock, and Lucius in front of the middle-aged priest suddenly shouted!
"ha!"
Lucius swung the blade with one hand and slashed at the middle-aged priest with a fierce and cold look. The other party instantly raised the blue axe to block.
The next moment, an astonishing scene appeared!
The blue axe was easily cut off by the sharp blade, and the middle-aged priest behind him was also injured. Hot red blood kept pouring out from his chest.
"How is this possible?" He simply couldn't understand it. He stepped back repeatedly and tried to cover the wound, but he couldn't stop the blood from flowing.
Beside Irene, Byrne was kneeling on one knee with a painting in his hand, gasping for breath. He consumed a lot of spiritual energy to complete the "sketch", and by drawing the blue axe, he reduced its toughness.
Although the blue axe is enchanted with the magic of "acceleration", its toughness is no different from that of an ordinary axe. After its toughness is reduced by the "shortcut" ability, its durability is about the same as that of a hard branch.
"Kill me."
The middle-aged priest suddenly took a deep breath, lost all will to fight, and didn't want to continue fighting.
At this point in the battle, he had undoubtedly lost.
"However, you can only kill me, but you can't fundamentally defeat the East Coast people."
"We are the masters of this land. You Syats are bandits and demons. You say we are born lowly and have no value at all, but the people of the East Coast will prove you wrong!"
Irene's expression was a little subtle. Two years ago, the old priest once said that she and her brother were born humble and their souls had no value at all.
The firelight reflected on the middle-aged priest's face, and he suddenly became full of fighting spirit and looked excited.
"You must remember, the people of the East Coast will never be your stepping stones forever!"
Lucius raised the blade high in one hand and thrust it with all his strength without hesitation, piercing through the middle-aged priest's chest and rupturing his heart and lungs.
He said in a low voice: "No matter how much a dead person talks, no matter how passionate or emotional they are, it is nothing compared to a living person's urine."
The middle-aged priest opened his eyes wide with trembling body, and finally fell down unwillingly.
Lucius sat down on the ground, and Irene quickly came over and extended her hand.
"Hold on, Lucius."
Her eyes flashed green, and she easily healed Lucius's almost broken arm.
"Praise the great Lord of the Lost, this power is so powerful..."
The pain was reduced in an instant. Lucius was amazed and praised the Lost Lord sincerely, which was rare. The supernatural power to save people is always more rare than the supernatural power to kill people.
Carl stared at the sky silently and could roughly determine the source of the "protection" rune. The purple finger amulet should be just a mysterious treasure of collection level.
The source of Irene's "healing" rune is the transparent bottle in which she lives. Its power is at least a second-level "treasure-level" mysterious object.
As for the mysterious objects at the higher levels of "taboo" and "untouchable", they are unlikely to appear in this small place on the East Coast.
A patrol team of more than one hundred people finally showed up. They had just been transferred out of the town and came back to put out the fire and search and kill the jungle natives.
A dozen or so fleeing jungle natives were eventually captured or killed; no one escaped.
The raging fire burned down half of the houses on the street, and more than fifty Nasir residents died in the fire and killing.
The armored sheriff, several knights and clan elders in the town came to Fisher's house and saw Lucius walking out with a human head in his hand, roaring at everyone surrounded by guards.
"The leader of the jungle natives, the priest, has been killed by me!"
The people of Nasir Town saw this scene, and then they cheered and even shouted Fisher's last name!
Lucius slowly walked towards the surprised sheriff, showing a trustworthy smile, lowered his head with a sly look and said:
"Respected Sheriff, when you report this matter to the Baron, please take me with you."
The sheriff's face was as ugly as a pig's liver. Too many people died in Nasir Town tonight. As a sheriff, he could not escape the blame. He immediately said, "This matter is not just my responsibility. It was the mayor who asked us to go outside the town to search for jungle natives! Don't blame me!"
"Oh, so he's the mayor?"
Lucius lowered his head slightly, fell into deep thought, and then smiled with a very cold look in his eyes.
——
The town of Nasir suffered heavy losses overnight, but the Fisher family gained a lot, not only in terms of spoils but also in terms of reputation.
Lucius himself almost became a hero in the entire town of Nasir. Everyone believed in him, and the impression of the Fisher family became extremely positive in people's minds.
The total value of the spoils obtained by the Fisher family was about fifteen gold coins, mainly from the bounties for the heads of three indigenous extraordinary people. Although the blue axe was damaged, it was still a good mysterious object.
After finding a suitable spellcaster to repair the axe, Irene knelt down very solemnly and presented it to the great Lord of the Lost.
Carl finally gained some new spiritual power, but the blue axe was just a mysterious "collection-level" artifact.
"There is no feeling of the seal loosening. There is still a long way to go before breaking through the next layer of seal."
He gave Byrne the blue rune of "acceleration".
An ecstatic Byrne immediately tried to use the blue rune he had obtained. He found that each "acceleration" would consume a small amount of physical strength, and it would take about ten seconds before the blue "acceleration" rune could be used again.
And at the moment of acceleration, his movement speed will reach several times the original speed.
In fact, the final effect brought by "acceleration" is a fixed value, not that the faster the person is, the better the effect will be when using it.
A few days later, Baron Hoven, who received the news, finally rushed back from Fein City with his men and decided to retaliate against the jungle natives immediately.
