"when……"

The arrow collided with the sword, splashing some sparks, and the impact force also caused Carl's body to pause.

"superior!"

Among the three people on the opposite side, the red-haired man waved his arm lightly and said in a cold voice: "Kill him!"

The other two rushed forward without a sound, and even though there was a thick layer of ice under their feet, their speed was not slow at all.

One of them held a spear and leaned forward, adjusting his posture so that the tip of the spear was always pointing at Carl's heart.

Stab!

This is the most commonly used move by spearmen.

An inch longer is an inch stronger. A spear plus the weight of a human body can easily penetrate the body of a beast under accelerated impact.

Fast! Accurate! Brutally! Although he was not a knight's squire, the power of this thrust was no less than that of an ordinary knight's squire.

The other man held a long knife and rushed forward in small steps, staring at Carl with his eyes, ready to attack at any time.

Compared to the killers and fire thieves in Signo City, the people here are obviously better at fighting.

Or rather...

Each of them is battle-hardened and experienced.

"when!"

There was a collision sound.

Carl swung his broadsword to block the spear, and collided head-on with the man with the knife with one side of his body.

The huge force shattered the ice on the ground, ice particles splashed and flew, and the three figures were mixed together.

Angry attack!

"Bang!"

One person stumbled backward.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Carl's eyes narrowed.

Zero Ring Witchcraft - Secondary Spell Force Field! An invisible force field appeared out of thin air, instantly covering the entire place, and also causing the faces of the two people who rushed over to change drastically.

Under the influence of the force field, the two people's movement speed changed, their offensive was hindered, and their originally tacit cooperation also showed flaws.

"The seal..."

"puff!"

Before one of them could even utter a word, he saw a broadsword sweeping towards him, sending his head flying high into the air, with blood gushing out for more than a foot from the broken neck.

Cut! Karl's face was cold, and he took the opportunity to chop furiously.

"puff!"

The man holding the knife had his chest cracked and he staggered backwards screaming.

Carl was about to press on with the victory when his expression suddenly changed and he lunged to the side, rolling to avoid the attack.

As he rushed out, a fireball the size of a human head flew past his previous position and slammed heavily against a wall.

The long period of severe cold and freezing made the wall as hard as steel, and a long sword could only leave a shallow mark when it was cut.

Now……

The fireball hit the wall and exploded with a loud bang, leaving a hole in the wall and melting the ice and snow on it.

If it fell on a person, even a knight's squire, he would probably be turned into charcoal on the spot.

What is this method? Witchcraft?

His heart was pounding, but Carl did not hesitate at all and jumped towards the red-haired man.

It was him who just raised his hand and created a fireball.

Different from the others he met in Black City.

The red-haired man was wearing very gorgeous clothes, his long hair was smooth, his face was spotless, and even his leather boots were clean. I'm sure he was of a different status.

“Swish!”

Facing Carl who was rushing towards him, the red-haired man did not choose to "cast a spell", but drew his sword from his waist, and swung the sword lightly, leaving several afterimages.

This speed...

Knight Squire!

And he was definitely not a knight squire who had just been promoted.

"drink!"

Carl growled and increased his speed again.

Combat skill——Fierce Wind Slash!

Four afterimages appeared out of thin air and merged with the broadsword itself. The five sword shadows instantly drew the opponent in.

With the help of the secondary magic force field of zero-ring witchcraft, the air within a radius of several meters seemed to stagnate slightly.

"bite……"

"when!"

The sound of collision was as loud as a rainstorm.

The red-haired man obviously did not expect the existence of an invisible force field. His expression suddenly changed, but his movements remained calm.

"when……"

Blocked! Although the red-haired man was struggling, he managed to block the attack with his solid foundation.

"snort!"

With a shake of the long sword, the two men collided in mid-air.

suddenly.

A bright light appeared out of nowhere, and the light was extremely dazzling to people who had lived in the Black City for many years.

Light magic! The red-haired man closed his eyes subconsciously, and then realized that something was wrong.

Oh no!

"puff!"

The broadsword swept across, leaving a long gash in the red-haired man's abdomen. Carl turned around and slashed again, completely cutting off the man's chance of survival.

Death! Carl held the sword in his hand, breathing rapidly, and looked at the last person on the field.

After a moment.

Three bodies fell to the ground in disorder, hot blood flowed along the ground, and Carl's face turned pale.

The people in Black City are extremely fierce.

Even if they are in an absolute disadvantage, they will fight back desperately, which is different from the fanatical followers of the Fire Thief.

Cruel, vicious, and regards human life as worthless.

It's not just about other people's lives, but also about one's own life. Perhaps it is precisely the environment of Black City that has shaped this kind of character.

"Huh?"

Karl turned over the red-haired man's body and looked puzzled: "No magical items?"

He did not forget that the other party had "cast a spell" against the enemy.

When a wizard apprentice activates witchcraft, there will be fluctuations in his mental power, which ordinary people cannot detect. However, as a wizard apprentice, he will not be unable to sense it.

There was no obvious mental fluctuation just now. This situation only occurs when casting spells with the help of magic items.

However, there were no demonized items on the corpse.

"strangeness."

Touching his chin, Karl's eyes flickered, and he bent down to remove all the clothes from the red-haired man.

immediately,

His eyes fell on the left arm of the corpse.

“Swish!”

"puff!"

He swung the broadsword and cut off the arm directly. He wrapped his arm with clothes and left in a hurry before others arrived.

After a moment.

Several figures appeared on the scene.

"Redhead is dead."

A man squatted beside the corpse and spoke in a muffled voice: "The person who did it was very efficient. It didn't take long for him to kill three people. He is definitely an expert among the knights' squires."

"The other party also took away Red Hair's seal."

The person examining the body raised his head, revealing a delicate and pretty face:

"Brother, is there still such a master in the Scythe Society?"

A burly figure stood not far away, like a giant bear, and shook his head slightly when he heard this.

"No."

He clenched his five fingers and said, "The five leaders of the Scythe Society, including Goron, all died in my hands."

"It was someone else who did it." The woman shrugged. Although her companions died, she showed no sympathy at all.

"Red Hair is so unlucky that he meets a master halfway through his journey."

"check."

The burly man said in a muffled voice: "Whoever kills someone from our Brotherhood will pay the price."

"yes."

The woman nodded and whistled softly.

moment.

The surrounding soil shook, and mice jumped out from dark corners, sniffed the ground and scattered.

* * * Fragments of the divine realm.

Carl took out a large-caliber glass container from the pile of items and filled it with the coagulation liquid for the experiment.

at last.

Put the red-haired man's arm in it.

He brought the arm back specifically, not because of any quirk, of course, but because of the pattern on it.

"Spell model?"

Carl rested his chin on his hand, thinking.

The patterns on the arms are complex and strange, and can make people dizzy if they look at them for too long, similar to a spell model.

"The red-haired man is not a wizard apprentice, nor does he have any magical items. He can cast spells, probably because of these patterns. I wonder if they can be analyzed."

Analyzing spell models is a required subject for wizards.

Otherwise, if you get a magic item, how can you know the method to activate it and the witchcraft reproduced on it?

This all needs to be parsed.

However, for a novice, analyzing a spell model is not an easy task, even for a relatively simple spell.

"Could it be that there is witchcraft in the other world?"

“Hmm…”

"Or it's called a Dharma seal!"

Carl had also heard about the French seal, but he had only come into contact with lower-class people and knew very little about it.

"Maybe……"

Carl thought thoughtfully: "We should spend more time exploring the Black City."

Now he is no longer the ordinary man who had to be cautious when facing the unknown world.

Instead, they are knight squires and wizard apprentices with strong fighting power.

The red-haired man was quite powerful. He could take the attack under the influence of the magic field. Even if he was not as strong as Dina, he should be not much different. However, he was still killed by Carl's sword.

So calculated.

Carl's strength is no less than that of a knight squire at the peak level.

From what we have learned in recent days, the top figures in Black City are actually knights, and the knight squires at the peak level are already outstanding masters of various forces.

However, for safety reasons, in order to prevent someone from following him from the other side, he does not plan to go there in the next few days and will wait and see.
