Chapter 114 Don’t be so impulsive Duke’s fight back
Shen Jiang said seriously, "Of course, I swear on my soul. As long as you complete your work diligently, you will not only be paid, but you will also be able to return home to visit your families as scheduled, and you can even finish this job after six months."
Duke's lips parted slightly. "That's so..."
The humanoid boss suddenly attacked, his movements swift and unexpected. Before Ellis, the others, and Shen Jiang could react, Godwin kicked the self-satisfied brown-haired youth to the ground.
What kind of thing is this? It's worthy of making his believers frown.
Duke hadn't been on guard behind him at all, and the sudden attack was completely unexpected. After a dizzying spin, Duke managed a neat sideways roll on the lawn, avoiding an embarrassing fall in front of everyone.
Who is it?
Duke looked unkindly at the place behind him, and the smiling mask on his face had long disappeared.
Duke immediately recognized who had attacked him. The young man in the crowd had a stare that was too obvious, looking down on him arrogantly. Damn that brat! He'd make him pay for his rashness.
Shen Jiang narrowed his eyes, his mind still replaying the youth's neat side roll. It was a great protective maneuver, effectively dissipating most of the force and preventing injury. But Ellis and his men were only targeting ordinary orcs and humans. Aze's kick just now, while powerful, was crude. Isn't Duke just an ordinary person? How come he's so skilled?
"Ellis, tell me everything you know about this person." Shen Jiang looked at the brown-haired young man in the field with a serious face.
Ellis recalled, "...Duke came to me on his own initiative to apply. Catherine and I were searching for a suitable candidate in an obscure little village at the time, and he approached me to ask if he was available. He was dressed in rags and had no magical abilities at all. I secretly detected his dark attributes and found that he perfectly matched our requirements. Incidentally, he also had a sick mother and a young brother at home..."
Shen Jiang's eyes turned cold. Since the other party took the initiative to find this job, it meant that he really needed it. In this case, his performance today was very suspicious.
Look at the people Ellis brought in; most of them are pale and thin, with Duke looking the best. Once the seeds of doubt are planted, everything becomes suspicious.
"Have you ever been to his house? Have you met his mother and brother?"
Ellis was stunned: "No...no."
Shen Jiang continued to ask, "Are there any villagers here from the same village as him?"
Ellis shook his head again.
"So, no one can prove his identity, and everything you know is just his own words?"
Ellis was silent. He had already thought of the words that the witch had not said.
Beatrice, standing beside them, naturally overheard the conversation. She pondered for a moment before speaking, "Mistress Witch, are you doubting this man is a magician? From what I understand, normal magicians have a strong sense of superiority and would never agree to such a job. Besides, five bags of refined white flour a month isn't much of an incentive for a magician."
Shen Jiang looked at the black-haired boy Aze, and then looked at Duke who was rubbing Aze's waist and obviously had no intention of letting him go.
Speaking of which, she has to thank Aze. If he hadn't been so impulsive, the matter wouldn't have been exposed so quickly.
"We'll know the answer soon."
Shen Jiang called out to Priest and Quick in his heart to come quickly, and whoever arrived first would get the reward.
If, as she suspected, this Duke was a magician attempting to infiltrate Longshan in this manner, then their inability to detect his magical attributes could only mean one thing: Duke's magician rank far surpassed theirs. If she wanted to escape unscathed after this confrontation, she needed backup.
Ellis pursed his lips, his face serious.
If this young man named Duke really deceived them, the responsibility was entirely his. He had not done what he promised the witch.
As they spoke, the most intense fight was breaking out on the huge lawn in front of the castle.
Godwin didn't want them to guess his identity, so he naturally wouldn't use magic. Duke also planned to use his ordinary identity to enter Longshan, so he naturally hid some of his strength.
Shen Jiang originally thought that the boy named Aze would be severely beaten by Duke because of his impulsiveness. She asked Ellis to come forward and separate the two, and saw the boy's slender legs raised high and crushed hard on Duke's face.
Duke's face was pressed against the grass after being stepped on by someone. His expression was distorted and the mask of calm he had always maintained was instantly broken.
"I'm going to kill you!" The brown-haired young man's eyes turned red instantly.
But Godwin looked down at him condescendingly and shouted, "Come on."
Duke struggled several times, but failed to shake the foot pressing on his face. His self-esteem was quietly shattered.
For a moment, the scene was somewhat quiet.
Almost no one expected that the fighting ability of this black-haired boy was so amazing. He could easily suppress the young man who was a circle bigger than him. His momentum at this moment was so amazing that it forced the orcs surrounding them to take a few steps back.
Ellis breathed a sigh of relief. "My Lady Witch, he can't even beat someone like Aze, how can he be a magician?"
Catherine nodded in agreement: "Even if he really is a magician, he is a rubbish magician, a disgrace to magicians."
Shen Jiang now began to doubt his own judgment.
The process of Aze subduing the opponent was too easy, as simple as subduing a little chicken, and even gave her the illusion that she could do it. To be honest, maybe Duke was too weak?
As a high-level magician, if Duke knew what these people were thinking at the moment, he would definitely say, "Come over and fight him if you have the guts!"
Godwin looked at the human beneath his feet with contempt, with a sharp murderous look in his eyes.
He deserves to die for daring to offend his followers and even fight back.
As a magician, Duke could fully sense that the other party was truly murderous. Seeing that the young man was so reckless and was planning to end his life in front of so many people, he could no longer pretend to be weak.
It can only be said that when a person is really scared, he will reveal his flaws. At this moment, this boy with no magic power made Duke feel the fear for the first time.
As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.
Duke did not dare to be careless. He condensed the fastest and most condensed magic circle in the palm of his hand. The lightning magic in his palm rushed straight to the back of Godwin's head, hoping to kill him with one blow.
This guy caused him to be exposed. Duke looked at Godwin with resentment, intending to make him taste a taste worse than death.
Shen Jiang cried out, "Be careful!"
It's certainly wrong for Aze to hit someone, but if he loses his life for it...
Having just witnessed a murder scene in the morning, Shen Jiang was now witnessing a second one. He felt sorry for the situation and wanted to help, but it was too late.
Everyone held their breath. As everyone knew, lightning mages had incredibly powerful attacks. Ordinary people couldn't withstand a lightning strike at all, and in severe cases, could even be killed instantly. The black-haired boy had only ever been able to fight hand-to-hand, possessing no other skills at all.
But no one saw clearly that the boy's golden eyes shrank into needle-points in an instant, and almost all movements were frozen and slowed in his eyes. When the infinitely slow lightning slowly approached him, Godwin just tilted his head slightly and easily avoided the lightning that could not hurt him even if it hit him.
Godwin dodged because he thought of the believers. Otherwise, given his personality, he wouldn't even bother dodging.
Duke's triumphant smile froze on his face. He waited for the overwhelming force to subside, but it didn't. He could even feel his face being crushed back and forth several times. This feeling of humiliation broke Duke's entire being.
At this moment, vines flew from somewhere and wrapped around Godwin's waist at the fastest speed, pulling him back hard. Godwin seemed to know where the vines came from and had no intention of resisting at all.
Shen Jiang thought so. Even if it was too late, she had to try her best to save the person. After all, Aze was young and hot-tempered, and it was for her that he fought with Duke.
But when the person was in front of him, Shen Jiang checked Aze's body and found that he was completely safe and sound. A trace of doubt arose in Shen Jiang's heart.
"Are you okay?" Shen Jiang opened his eyes wide, looking surprised.
Godwin's tone was dangerous: "How can you touch me so casually."
His eyes were full of condemnation.
Shen Jiang: “Huh?”
How can this guy confuse right and wrong?
She was a doctor and was checking if he was injured, but he accused her of touching him.
Slander, this is blatant slander! Could this guy have been electrocuted in the head just now?
"Why did you suddenly hit him?"
She believed that he must have his own reasons for suddenly attacking her.
Godwin said slowly: "He is no match for me."
This is totally irrelevant. Shen Jiang laughed. He didn't even forget to brag about how great he is.
It was obvious that Duke was the one who took the lead in disrupting people's minds and destroying everyone's trust in her, so he was standing up for her.
Shen Jiang felt inexplicably touched.
"Thank you, Aze. I know you're very capable, but you should try not to be so impulsive in the future."
The minor injuries on Duke's body were not a problem, but he seemed to be on fire. The extraordinary anger made him want to destroy this place.
Ellis had been on guard against him, and he unleashed a powerful dark spell at Duke. This mistake was his fault, and he had an obligation to fix it.
"You are overestimating yourself." Duke sneered and began to condense a group attack skill in his hands.
Since his plan had failed, he had to evacuate immediately. To avoid future trouble, he had to kill everyone present today.
These few junior magicians and ordinary orcs were no match for him at all.
Duke stared at the black-haired boy behind the magicians with a malicious look. As for this guy, he was determined to make him wish he were dead.
