Chapter 330 329. Assassin
Suldak couldn't figure out how many knights of the Knights of the Guard Battalion were hidden outside the hotel. At least he saw a middle-aged couple cuddling together on a bench in the garden square opposite the hotel. The snow on the two shoulders had already It has fallen a thick layer, but there is still no intention of leaving. It seems that it should be the manpower arranged by the guard battalion.
retreated from behind the curtains by the window, there was no light in the room, but the street could be seen far away under the reflection of street lamps.
The street was a bit deserted, there were not many pedestrians at this late hour, and occasionally a carriage hurried past.
Suldak sat on the bed. He took out a square iron shield from his magic pocket. The surface of this shield was covered with diamond-shaped iron thorns. It was very heavy to hold in his hand. It had a cold metal texture. When the shield strikes, what effect will those iron thorns on the surface of the shield hit the enemy.
Suldak rubbed his forehead in distress. Who would have thought that even dwarven chain shields could not be bought in Hailansa City, and the types of weapons and shields were not even as complete as the temporary market in the forest camp, but fortunately, he The power of time has increased a lot, and this cumbersome tower shield can be lifted easily. I finally bought this cumbersome guy in a weapon shop. Apart from being inconvenient to carry, everything else is fine.
His dilapidated Roman sword was also replaced with a knight's long sword with a silver gauntlet. This sword has nothing special except that the steel edge of the blade is better. From the weight point of view, this sword The knight's long sword is much lighter than his Roman sword, but it is about the same weight as the wooden sword in the practice room of the knight academy's sword gym. Ke sat on the chair with his eyes closed, silently feeling the knight's long sword.
Knowing that the other party would not come too early, Suldak lay on the bed and squinted for a while. When he woke up, he first moved his body, familiarized himself with the weapon in his hand, and leaned the shield against the bed. He was lying on the bed with the knight's long sword in his clothes and covered with a thick quilt.
During this month at the Knight Academy, Suldak only felt that those nodes in his body were still awakening a little bit. After each node was lit up, the sacred aura in his body would become thicker, and this was It was as if some kind of power in the body had been awakened.
Except that the progress was a bit slow at the beginning, now it’s like wildfire, those lit nodes have spread to the entire shoulder, and spread to the back, even when eating and sleeping, the sacred breath has been slowly spreading outward, When he looked at his body, his consciousness seemed to be drilled into a vast starry sky. In this space, countless stars were slowly rotating around a certain point.
There was a light sound from the window, and he woke up from his meditative state. Then the curtains shook slightly, but he didn't see anyone coming in.
Suldak only felt a murderous intent approaching from the window, and his eyes opened a gap, but he didn't find the intruder in the room.
Seeing the danger approaching, at this moment Suldak seemed to be immersed in a dream. Countless black tentacles protruded from the shadows and quickly tied his body firmly to the bed. Moving, he opened his mouth, but no sound came out of his throat.
The breath of death enveloped the whole body, and cold sweat burst out from his forehead.
Just when Suldak was hesitating, he suddenly found a black and dull dagger hanging above his head. The voice of a person wearing black tight leather armor was vaguely outlined from the corner of the wall. At the same time, the dagger was silent. Cut to Suldak's throat.
At the same time, those nodes on the shoulders lit up one after another, a sacred breath came out from the body, and the ice and snow bound in the darkness melted quickly. Ke used the knight's long sword in his hand to hold the dagger dangerously. He kicked off the quilt covering his body, jumped up from the bed, and picked up the heavy tower shield to face the black figure in the dark. Swipe over.
'Shield Bash'
With the sound of the heavy shield hitting the wall, the entire wall was covered with spider web-like cracks, but the erratic black shadow escaped from the gap in the shield at the last moment, and the black shadow quickly shrank into the corner of the wall. It disappeared, but Suldak came to the window first and blocked the half-opened window. The black figure just appeared from the side of Suldak again, and the black dagger in his hand stabbed at Suldak's left rib. .
Suldak moved the tower shield in his hand, and the dagger pierced the surface of the shield covered with barbs, making a crisp 'ding' sound.
The black figure wanted to hide in the shadows again, but was blocked by the knight's long sword in Suldak's hand. In desperation, the black figure rushed towards Suldak like a black panther. Suddenly, the space behind the shadow became pitch black, and half of the room suddenly disappeared from Suldak's eyes.
Then Suldak lost control of his body again, only to feel that countless ropes were entangled, and the figure in the darkness rushed out again, this time the dagger in the black shadow's hand pierced Suldak's heart, a pale golden A faint light shines from Suldak's body, and the sacred aura in his body completely disperses these black shadows, and he raises his sword to tease the black figure.
The figure didn't expect Suldak to be able to break free at all, the long sword cut a hole in the black shadow's arm, and the black dagger fell to the ground in response.
Hei Ying no longer had any courage to fight, and turned into a black carp and jumped out of the window. The crisp sound of breaking the window glass was very clear at night. Surdak didn't expect that the other party was as slippery as a fish, so he quickly Following behind the shadow, he jumped from the window onto the deserted street.
At this time, the people dressed as couples on the benches in the square park across the street heard the sound of fighting, and they had already outflanked the square garden. The bulky tower shield was put into the magic pocket, and he chased after him desperately.
But the black figure was extremely light, and sometimes it would occasionally disappear for a few seconds in the shadow of the corner of the wall, and then emerge from a farther place, and the distance from Suldak was getting farther and farther away. Seeing that the black shadow was about to flee, the two people on the chair whistled loudly to the surroundings.
At the same time, some knights from the guard battalion appeared on the roofs and high walls along the street in the square garden...
