Chapter 137 Magic 1

"Ah sneeze!"

Paul sneezed while sitting on the horse. He took out his handkerchief and wiped his nose, and wrapped it tightly in his clothes.

After entering November, the weather is getting colder and colder.

"After the shipyard builds another batch of ships, I will definitely launch a dedicated inland waterway for carrying people, and I will call it a 'public transportation ship'."

"Let these boats run back and forth along the Vis River. Everyone can get on the boat for only one or two copper coins and get off the boat until they reach their destination."

"When it comes to weather like today, you don't have to brave the cold wind to run around outside. Wouldn't it be nice to light a small stove in the cabin and enjoy the scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait while warming yourself."

Paul talked endlessly about his ideas to the people around him.

"What a great idea you have!"

Squadron Leader Victor, who serves as the captain of the bodyguard, duly flatters him.

Paul glanced at the female consultant Ladi next to him. When he was a little disappointed, the other person seemed not to listen to what he just said. She still looked like she was facing an enemy and looked around with vigilant eyes from time to time.

He made a helpless gesture to the captain of the guard, "Oh~~ She has been like this since she left Huxin Town in the morning."

Victor scratched his head and said, "Well... I think it's right for Miss Ladi to be so vigilant, although it's a bit against the rules for a girl to behave like this."

After Paul decided to go to Fulan Port, the female consultant offered to go with him. At first, Paul thought she was going out to relax or something, but the reason given by the female consultant made him feel extremely strange:

"My Lord Earl, I have divined something for you. You may encounter some bad things on the way! Of course, this is only a possibility, but be careful. Please allow me to go with you. As a Some of the skills you learned as an adventurer should be useful to you.”

Divination? She couldn't be joking. As a serious scholar, she still believed this. But seeing that she was indeed worried about her own safety, Paul agreed to her request to go with him.

"Then why don't you just stop me from traveling this time?"

"The divination results show that even if you stay in Lake Town, you will not be able to escape this bad luck."

"Uh...okay."

Then Ladi put on the same outfit as when she was an adventurer, carried the bow and arrow that had killed the black-spotted tiger, and set out on the road with him.

The female consultant also strongly suggested that he bring more guards. Paul agreed and took two squads of internal guards with him to Port Fulan under the command of the captain of the guard, Victor.

Just when Paul was sighing in his heart that this was really an ignorant era, and even Ladi, a scholar, was not exempt from the vulgarity, he heard the female consultant shout: "If there is a situation, stop!"

Everyone was startled by him and tightened their reins one after another, and the entire team stopped moving forward.

The female consultant pointed forward with her finger, and everyone looked along. About 500 meters away, there was indeed someone walking towards them along the road.

Paul complained: "Hey, are you neurotic? That might just be an ordinary passerby."

"I have been staring at that man for ten minutes, and I have always had a feeling in my heart that he has ill intentions towards us. Lord Earl, please trust my intuition. My intuition has always been accurate."

"Ten minutes? We just saw him. How is your eyesight so good? Well, I'm really upset by what you said. Victor, send someone over to interrogate him."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Just as the captain of the guard was about to call people over, the man in front seemed to have noticed them. He stopped and stared at the team, then quickly continued walking this way, and walked impartially in front of them. Right in the middle of the road, with no intention of giving way.

You must know that Paul's team is under the banner of the Graiman family. A red flag with a flying dragon pattern is extremely eye-catching. As long as he is not blind, who would dare to block the middle of the road after seeing this flag?

The captain of the guard noticed something unusual and shouted: "Alert!"

The guards clenched their weapons one after another, and there was a clatter of swords being unsheathed.

Paul looked forward and saw this tall man, wrapped in a black cloak, which was blowing in the cold wind, and his face was obscured by the hood.

"Shit! You're not really here to make trouble, are you? Looking at Niu B's coaxing momentum, he really feels like a lone assassin!"

Paul complained in his mind: "This guy won't suddenly rush into our team and use Wushuang, right? This is how it is played in movies and animations."

The other party was getting closer and closer, and Victor shouted to the man: "Stranger, stop your steps! In front of you is the team of Lord Paul Greyman, Lord of Arda. Stop immediately and tell your purpose." ”

The man in the cloak stopped about 50 meters away from the team, and a deep voice came from the hood:

"Are you Paul Greenman? Huh! It really took no effort to get here. I didn't expect to meet him halfway. It also saved me a trip to Lake Town."

The sound was obviously not loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly and unmistakably from a long distance away.

Female consultant Ladi immediately protected Paul, frowning, staring at the visitor, she said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, some strange things may happen later, please be mentally prepared. ”

Paul was confused, but it was certain that the person coming here had bad intentions. Seeing the usually steady female consultant being so nervous, he felt anxious.

There was another thing that made him feel wrong. There were dozens of people in his two teams, while the other side had only one person. However, he felt a sense of oppression.

The chief guard Victor shouted angrily: "Guards, take down this rude guy!"

No mistake!

Not only did he call the lord by his name, but he also arrogantly said that it was easy to get it, as if the Earl was an object that could be manipulated at will. He didn't take the Earl seriously, and he didn't take him, the chief guard, seriously.

The three soldiers ran over immediately, but saw the cloaked man standing there obediently, allowing two soldiers to pinch his arms on the left and right, and the third soldier took out a rope to tie him up.

Just as the two soldiers on the left and right tried to bend his arms to his back, something strange happened!

The cloaked man suddenly raised his arms, grabbed the necks of the two soldiers tightly, and pulled their heads to the front of his chest.

The two soldiers' heads collided with each other like babies who were powerless to resist. In front of everyone's stunned eyes, the part where their foreheads touched each other actually deflated, and the brains splattered.

The cloaked man let go, and the two bodies fell to the ground powerlessly. He shook his head and said, "Tsk! The newly bought clothes are dirty again!"

Although he was complaining, his tone was extremely relaxed, as if he had just killed two small insects.

He stretched out his tongue to lick the brains splashed at the corners of his mouth, and said sinisterly, "But, this feeling is really long-lost!"

The two companions were killed in the blink of an eye. The remaining soldier holding the rope was so scared that he didn't even have the strength to escape. He sat on the ground with his buttocks, his body trembling constantly, and cast a horrified look at the person in front of him, as if he was looking at a demon running out of hell.

"First team, protect the count! Second team, follow me forward!"

The captain of the guards, Victor, was the first to react and gave the order immediately.

A squad of soldiers tightly surrounded Paul, who had not yet reacted, and the female consultant who was mumbling something. They pointed their swords outward to guard the surroundings. They could not only focus on one direction at this time. What if the enemy made a feint to the east and attacked from the west?

Another squad of soldiers gathered around the captain of the guards and approached the cloaked man together.

The cloaked man also took steps to continue walking towards Paul. He gestured strangely with his right hand and muttered some inexplicable words.

"Stone Skin Technique..." A combination of words that could be understood came out of his mouth.

At this time, the female consultant beside Paul stopped whispering. She paused for a moment and whispered: "Concentrate..."

Paul suddenly felt something moving in his chest. He looked down and saw that a stone hanging on his chest was trembling slightly, and its originally grayish-white appearance was slowly turning black...

I heard that there will be 10,000 chapters in the first 24 hours after the book is released. I will write another chapter all night today.
