Scene 49 Fishing in Troubled Waters (Part 1)

The snow-white skeletons stopped in unison, and the bow was raised upwards, and the iron bow arm made a squeaking noise.

The mercenaries and adventurers below finally realized that something was wrong at this moment, but the zombies attacking in all directions in the hall held them back and prevented them from escaping.

Brando's first thought was Roman, but when he looked up, he could no longer find the figures of the business lady and Antitina. He felt anxious and swept out his sword with his backhand - the silver-white sword blade was left behind in the dim environment. An afterimage, the wind pressure split open the Zombie fighting with Bottom in the middle of three chairs.

The undead body turned aside, and the red-bearded mercenary seized the opportunity, swung his giant sword and split half of the body with his giant sword.

With a crash, the zombie fell apart, and several silver light balls rose from its remains and shot into Brando's body.

At the same time, the cripple also forced another zombie back with the help of Charles. They turned around and saw Brando shouting below: "Have you seen Roman?"

"We are here!" Antitina took Roman and stood up on the other side. The businessman didn't know what fear was and waved his hand vigorously.

"Get down!" Brando shouted to them, and then ordered to Charles: "Char, wall!"

The young wizard apprentice understood the idea and immediately raised the ruby. Countless lines extended from the ruby ​​in all directions - Charles used all his strength to cast the spell, and his mind and mana were poured into it like running water - the wall of law extended to fifty meters. , including Antitina and Roman on the other side.

Then hundreds of lines lit up slightly and disappeared instantly, and a wall of air formed out of thin air.

At this moment, the skeleton archers also completed their preparations. The bowstrings vibrated in unison like a storm, and the flat arrows scattered downwards with black lines. The first row of guests all fell down, and the ones behind them also fell. He groaned and fell to the ground one after another.

But Charles saved more people. Every time the air wall was hit by an arrow, a white light flashed. The wall flashed dozens of times before and after, and finally the undulating light became one.

But this wall finally awakened those who were surprised and surprised. Among them were wizard apprentices, lower-level elementalists, and even one or two intermediate wizards. Most of these people didn't understand what was going on at first, but now they understand. They stood up, or twirled rings on their fingers—or simply chanted loudly.

The wizards stretched out their hands, and streaks of white light appeared in the crowd extending toward the door above the auction house, and there were even one or two weak fireballs.

Then there was a series of explosions, with airflow, bone fragments, dregs, sawdust and dust flying everywhere. At least Brando saw several skulls bouncing and rolling down not far from him.

Then smoke spread throughout the hall, and Brando coughed twice, but the coughs were drowned in the noisy people around him. He pushed away a mercenary who bumped into him recklessly, and then shouted to the top:

"Char, Roman, come down! Come to me!"

Brando was still worried about whether his voice was heard by the people above, but soon he saw Bottom holding the unconscious cripple and rushing out through the smoke. Behind him was Charles, and behind him was Antitina and little Roman. Our eldest businesswoman looked like a gray-faced little fox at the moment, with a thick layer of dust on the tip of her nose - when she saw Brando looking at her , couldn't help but stick out his tongue in embarrassment.

"I thought I wouldn't be affected behind the wall of Charles, Brando, I'm sorry." Although she sounded frightened, the expression on her face clearly said: It's so exciting, I really want to Again.

Brando slapped her on the forehead angrily. He glanced at Antitina and replied, "You can thank Miss Antitina later. This is not the time to talk about it now. Come with me now, let's go first." Get out of this place."

But the noble daughter coughed from behind and replied in a low voice: "No need."

However, the girl raised the tip of her chin slightly, and there was still a hint of pride in her heart. She was born as a member of the nobility, and she more or less inherited the pride of Eruin's ancient nobility.

Antitina did not tell anyone that the complex coat of arms of the Borg Nathan family had an eye-catching fleur-de-lys logo. Although it was only in the uppermost corner of the coat of arms, this logo was similar to that of the Corcova royal family. The lilies are exactly the same. This shows that this noble family was once a branch of the royal family at some time hundreds of years ago. Although it has declined, the nobility hidden in the bloodline still exists.

In fact, her design of the magic transmission device was also inspired by a dusty design drawing in the family basement. Otherwise, how could she have thought of taking this path with her not outstanding talent.

It's just that Antitina never thought of admitting defeat to herself. The worse her family's situation became, the more she wanted to revive the deeds of her ancestors. Unlike her little aristocratic father, she has been a strong girl since she was a child.

But Bottom's words interrupted her thoughts. The red-bearded mercenary asked carefully: "Where do we leave from, Lord Knight? I don't know how many of these monsters are outside, and I don't know how they sneaked in, lame He also said that the underground trading meeting was heavily guarded. Damn it——"

"Let's go backstage." Brando glanced at the smoke-filled surroundings and replied. He had already made a calculation in his mind. It seemed that Madara's target was the high-level nobles in Prague who participated in the auction, so their first target should be the box above.

But what made him shudder a little was that the three zombies from before were obviously heading straight for him. He didn't understand where he had attracted Madala's attention. The young man thought about it again and again, and finally the scope of suspicion could only be focused on whether the information about him leading the refugees was spread through some channels.

But he just killed a squadron leader of the opponent. Is Instalong so determined to retaliate? It must not be an easy task to collect information about yourself and others and plan this operation, right?

It is not an exaggeration to even say that it mobilized troops and mobilized people.

Brando can only hope that he only exists as an additional target in this operation, but no matter what, he realizes that his existence has gradually begun to affect the entire course of history.

This gave him an even greater sense of urgency.

Otherwise his advantages will gradually disappear.

Charles also agreed with Brando's view, but his meaning obviously went further. The young wizard apprentice had obviously deeply analyzed the last discussion between Brando and him about equipment, attributes and experience. His suggestion is that walking from the backstage is obviously more conducive to fishing in troubled waters. Those auction items and money that have not had time to change hands are obviously a huge treasure.

If Freya were here, she would definitely be dissatisfied with Ciel's suggestion - it's a pity that this kind-hearted and upright future Valkyrie is currently waiting to be commended at the headquarters of the Silver Wings Cavalry Regiment.

And Antitina, who replaced her as Brando's deputy and staff, although she came from a noble family, the nature of a nobleman in this era is often not much different from that of a robber - not to mention that this lady has always been a practical person. As soon as she heard Ciel's proposal, she not only did not stop it, but also immediately supplemented it with her own wisdom, striving to make the plan feasible.

As for Little Roman and Bottom, the former is eager to participate in all exciting and surprising adventures, and will not care whether the matter itself is illegal. What's more, underground trading itself is not a legal business.

And the latter, as Brando's 'retainer', would not object.

Not to mention the comatose lame man, even if he was not unconscious, he would probably raise his hands and feet in approval. As described in the gossip and rumors circulating in the bars of Prague - if there is anything that the cripples of Black Pepper Alley are happier than taking advantage of, it is taking advantage of it.

Seeing his nominal 'subordinates' in such crisis, the first thing that comes to mind is how to make a fortune. Brando can't help but wonder whether this is good or bad for a moment.

But speaking of it, this style is exactly the same as his performance in "The Amber Sword" - back then, "Sophie Who Risks Her Life for Money" was a well-known name for a period of time. Of course, that was also a sequelae caused by him being too embarrassed in the early stages of the game - later, as Eruin disappeared, his reputation gradually faded away from him after he joined the Kingdom of the Church Knights.

But the adventurous element in his style is still deeply rooted in his blood. Whether it's Sophie or Brando, they are all potential gamblers now.

And his style of acting has more or less influenced people like Bottom, Roman, and Ciel. But it was Antitina. He turned back and glanced at the girl. Her personality was slightly similar to his.

The few people must have a good plan and immediately leaned towards the auction table below. However, they soon discovered that there were many people who had the same idea as them. However, under the obstruction of the zombies, they were able to rely on two warriors with strength close to the 'Black Iron Upper Reaches' and fifteen winds just like them. There are not many teams of spirit spiders opening the way, it can even be said to be none.

Therefore, they were the only ones who were the first to break through Madara's 'assassins' and reach the platform below.

The first thing Brando saw was the auctioneer and his assistant lying in a pool of blood. The place where the fire should have been placed on the platform was already empty, and the valuable treasure had long disappeared. This made him frown. There were two possibilities. One was that the undead had kidnapped the fire - and the other situation was worthy of scrutiny.

He and Ciel glanced at each other, sensing each other's confusion.

Fire is an invaluable treasure to most intelligent beings, but not to the undead. Madara expands its territory through soul fire and ziggurat. Fire is almost worthless to them. Most people may not know this information, but it cannot be hidden from a veteran in the game and a wizard apprentice.

For example, he and Ciel.

"There's a problem." Brando immediately held the sword in front of his chest and reminded behind him.

At the same time, Ciel also protected the rear of the team.

"What's going on?" Bottom asked.

But as soon as he finished speaking, a huge red object fell from the sky and stepped onto the platform with a bang. There was a loud 'click' sound. This thing made a huge hole in the wooden platform, causing the entire platform to be filled with smoke and dust for a while.
