Chapter 112 Topps
Pong!
Ding! Ding! Ding...
What the hell!What the hell!What the hell!
——The firepower of these guys is too strong!
A piece of pyroxene could split into three magic balls when it was broken, and in front of my eyes, just in the blink of an eye, the magic balls attacking me turned into a hail of bullets.
A shield alone can't stop it!
Besides, it was a magical attack. Even if I blocked it, it could still penetrate the shield and almost broke the bones in my arm.
"Torret, Torret, let's go!" I had no choice but to drive Torret and escape as fast as I could.
——What a mistake. What a mistake.
——I underestimated these Cuckoo Knights.
In the game, these guys are pretty much the same as the original Grek soldiers, the only annoying thing about them is that they use duraluminite.
Usually, the A-ti who just arrived here is at level 20 or 30. Three magic balls are enough to break A-ti's defense and make him lose balance. Then three more magic balls will directly give A-ti the most familiar [You Died].
——Rush in directly, resolve the situation quickly in close combat, and don’t give them the opportunity to use rhododendron pyroxene. This is the simplest and most reliable way to deal with this group of rhododendrons.
Besides, I have mastered the hound sword skills, so it is easy for me to deal with these minions.
But... I didn't expect that the guys stationed here were at least twice as many as in the game, and they all loved throwing stones. They relied solely on fire suppression and didn't give me any chance for close combat.
——Huh? You said, I can do magic, right?
——What? You want to fight against an AK-47 with a small pistol, right? Do you think I'm not dying fast enough?
This is already the third attempt to break through, and they have too much azalea pyroxene on hand, and the stock seems to be endless.
As soon as I approached, without saying a word, I ordered thirty rounds and greeted him directly.
——This, this is too shameless, who would want to play with them!
But if you don't pass through this camp, you can't go to Lienia.
There was no talk of finding Edgar first and stopping the "Mad Fire Us".
How to do this?
Do I have to go to the cliff and jump off with Torrett?
Looking up at the sky, it was gradually getting dark, and the mist in the lake area made the sky even more gloomy.
It’s so dark now, let’s put the idea of jumping off the cliff aside, find a place to rest and make plans tomorrow.
In desperation, I took Torrett to a dilapidated, roofless church on the side of the road and planned to take a rest.
It was pitch black inside, so I simply used Prayer - Fire Throwing with one hand and threw it casually towards a dark shadow.
The next second, there was a pig-killing howl: "Ah - Fire, fire... Help, help! Help me put out the fire!"
Unexpectedly, the black shadow was wearing the same magic academy uniform as Teacher Se Lian, and he had a bald head and a big beard.
The flames burned his butt, and soon, the entire hem of the wizard's robe was set on fire.
——I, I’ll go! I was in such a hurry and was so annoyed by the Cuckoo Knight that I forgot that Tops, Ate’s good teacher, was in this Elis Church!
"Yes, I'm sorry!" I looked around. There were no fire-fighting props in the church, and weeds were growing everywhere. Teacher Topps rolled around and brought sparks to the nearby bushes, which started a fire again.
——It’s over, it’s over. If this continues, the whole church will be burned to ashes.
——Is there any way, any magic that can put out the fire, put out the fire...
No, not at all!
Not to mention that I didn't learn any ice spells, even if I did, I wouldn't be able to use them. I only learned the culprit's "Fire Throwing" from my prayers. Combat skills? Calling up a storm would only make the fire burn more vigorously!
"Water! Water! Water!" Tops endured the burning pain in his buttocks and subconsciously tried to crawl out of the church and go to Lienia.
——Water······liquid!
Suddenly, an idea flashed in my mind, and I quickly shouted, "Don't move!"
"Ah?" I held the red Dettol chalice bottle in my mouth, ready to recover at any time, then took out my fangs and scratched my left hand.
Combat skill—Blood Slash·Weak Guidance.
Using the power of Rune, he drew out enough blood and then poured it onto the burning part of Topps' body.
Once isn't enough?
Dew Drop Holy Grail Bottle, Drink!
Blood volume restored, try again!
After a lot of trouble, the fire in Topps was finally extinguished. He lay on the ground with his arms and legs spread, gasping for breath, and my legs went weak and I fell to the ground.
After a short break, I apologized again: "Yes, I'm sorry. Just now, I thought it was a bush over there, and I was just thinking about lighting up the church by throwing fire and praying, but I didn't expect to throw it on you."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Tops also sat up and seemed to have let out a long sigh of relief. "I thought you were sent by the Cuckoo Knight to kill me on purpose."
"Eh? Why did Cuckoo Knight want to kill you?"
Tops looked at me and asked, "Are you the Faded One coming from the direction of Nimgefu?"
I nodded and introduced myself: "My name is Zero, nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you. My name is Tops. As the saying goes, you can't judge a book by its cover. I once studied pyroxene magic at the Rhea Lukalia Academy." Tops sighed. "But unfortunately, the academy is no longer as good as it used to be... In order to implement the creed of not intervening in the Shattered War, the academy has set up magic seals at the east gate leading to the royal city and the south gate connecting to this land... Moreover, the Kalia royal family, which was originally the most famous in this land, has also fallen into decline, causing the Cuckoo Knights to grow stronger and stronger. They are already the largest force in Lienia."
"These guys have been coveting the magic of the pyroxene for a long time, and they also want to get a share of the current broken war, so they continue to persecute the academy and the royal family." Tops clenched his fists, but soon relaxed again, "Ah, but what can a low-level magician like me do? Not to mention dealing with Dujuan, even returning to the magic academy has become a luxury now."
After lamenting, Tops raised his head again. Perhaps seeing my dazed expression, he quickly apologized to me: "... Oh, sorry, sorry, as I was talking, it became completely my personal complaint. This is also a bad habit of mine. I always nag too much without realizing it."
I also quickly shook my hand: "It's okay, it's okay. I just want to go to Lienia. After all, it is also the only way to the royal city. It's just right for me to learn more about the current situation."
Upon hearing this, Tops' eyes lit up immediately, and he asked carefully, "Oh, I see... Well, in that case, Zero, can I ask you for a favor? Of course, you don't have to help me specifically, just do it for me as a favor."
"Hmm? What is it?"
"Just now, I also said that the gates on both sides of the Rhea Lukalia Academy have been sealed by magic. However, if we can find the academy's pyroxene key, we can return there... For a low-level magician like me, the pyroxene key is not something I can ask for. I just wonder if I can return to that palace of knowledge one day."
Why does it feel like Mr. Tops's emotions always fluctuate greatly?
——However, to enter the royal city, Rodel must have at least two Great Runes, and the Full Moon Queen has one.
——Besides, for the warrior Ati, the Queen can be easily suppressed to the point where he can’t even cast magic, making her a relatively easy boss to deal with in the early stages.
Therefore, I also had a reason to go to the academy, so I patted my chest and said to Teacher Tops: "No problem, if I can find it, I will..."
——Ah, it can’t be given to Teacher Tops, otherwise this little bald guy will die inexplicably in the academy!
But when Tops heard what I said, he almost threw himself into my arms with excitement: "Really? Zero! Oh, thank you so much, thank you so much!"
“Uh…really?”
"Great! Can even I return to that palace?" Tops stood up and raised his hands as if to embrace the sky. Then, he remembered something and turned around timidly. "...Oh, yes, yes, I'm not in a hurry. There should be more than one academy pyroxene key. Zero, when you find it, you should use it yourself first. If you find another one later, just lend it to me."
······Seeing Teacher Tops so excited, I realized that a gentleman’s word is as good as his bond.
After that, I will think of a way so that when he returns to college, he can focus on his research without being persecuted.
——By the way, when the time comes, ask Lani for help, maybe she will have a solution.
"Yes, by the way, Zero, I have a small favor to ask." Teacher Topps came over again.
"Huh? What is it?"
"You, you Faded Ones, should have a lot of runes, right? Can you give me ten runes first?"
……
—Teacher, although you asked me for ten runes in the game, why do you seem to be as humble as a little mouse in real life?
