Saint Laurent Prison Warden

Chapter 40 In Chaos
Richard recognized the person just by hearing the voice.

The wizard who walked onto the stage was Oxford, a nice guy who was very focused on research. He often took the initiative to undertake some thankless and repetitive work in the institute.

Because Oxford is such a good guy, there are a few arrogant old wizards in the institute who often push troublesome tasks that they don't want to complete to Oxford. Richard can't stand it, and has helped Oxford several times, both openly and secretly. Therefore, Richard has always had a good relationship with Oxford.

Seeing Oxford coming up to the stage, Richard smiled and said, "No need, Oxford. I'll just hold the curtain. When I get tired, you can take my place."

"No, that won't do. Your soul is still weak."

After being rejected by Richard, Oxford did not stop, but walked forward with even bigger strides.

"You..." Richard didn't realize anything was wrong at first, but as soon as he said the word 'you', his mind suddenly reacted.

Wait a minute. Many people in the Silver City know that I was stigmatized. Oxford also knows about it. I can understand that.

But most people only know that stigmata will lead to the loss of all magic power, and they don’t know that stigmata will lead to the weakness of the soul.

I have a weak soul, how did Oxford know that?
So Richard suddenly changed the words that were about to come out of his mouth: "Stop first, I have something to ask you."

"What do you want to ask?" Oxford answered without stopping, and walked straight towards Richard and Dean Hank.

boom! boom! boom!
At this moment, there were several crisp explosions one after another, and all the magic lights above the auditorium were shattered by an unknown force, and the entire auditorium was suddenly dark.

"what!!"

"Well!"

"Oh my god?!"

"what happened?"

There were bursts of exclamations from the crowd.

"Little Li, be careful!" Behind Richard, Dean Hank put up a magic protective shield.

With the help of the glow from the magic shield, Richard clearly saw that the connection point between the large crystal chandelier on the ceiling that had been reflecting Kappa's body and the wall suddenly broke.

The huge crystal chandelier fell down with a crash!
No! The teacher's body!
Richard's heart tightened, and he almost couldn't help but rush over and push Capa's coffin away!

Fortunately, due to his weak soul, Richard's body's reaction speed was a little slow, otherwise he would have really rushed out.

"Huh?" Hank groaned, and suddenly there was a loud noise in the sky. A pair of translucent wizard's hands swung vigorously in the sky and hit the crystal chandelier hard, sending it flying to the open space at the edge of the stage.

At the same time, mages in the crowd began to cast light spells one after another. Lights lit up one after another. But those lights seemed to be shrouded in mist and were hazy and difficult to see clearly.

Richard looked towards the stage below the auditorium and could only see dim spots of light, just like looking at distant car lights in thick white fog.

Richard's heart tightened when he saw this, and he blurted out, "Dean Hank! This is the effect of the haze technique!"

Blur is a magic that can scatter the surrounding light elements, thereby reducing the luminous flux of all light.

After the haze is cast, the original 1 lumens of light will only be reduced to lumens, and the brightness will drop to %.

This is reflected in the magic effect. The casting range of [Light Magic] within the influence range of [Obfuscation] will be reduced to one tenth, and the magic effect will also be greatly reduced.

Originally, the magic that could achieve a similar effect of [limiting the effects of light magic] was dark magic, which was the exact opposite of light magic.

The vast majority of believers and bishops of the Holy See of Light build their own spell systems based on light magic, and they all make a living from light.

Therefore, they will have many precautions against [Dark Magic] which can target [Light Magic], such as carrying items that restrain Dark Magic or soldiers that ignore Dark Magic.

Coincidentally, although Haze Magic can also restrain Light Magic, it is not Dark Magic, but a very typical Air Magic, which can just bypass their preparation.

The development of the haze technique was based on the magic mirror. Its working principle is not to fight against the light element or weaken its strength, but to generate billions of tiny mirrors made of air elements in the air, thereby deflecting the light path of the light element and eventually reflecting most of the light back to the light source, thus creating an effect that restricts light magic.

Richard was shocked and shouted hurriedly:

"Dean, the Haze Magic is one of the research results of our Jinhui Mage Academy last year. This magic is still in the experimental stage and is only circulated in a small range among the senior management of the Mage Academy.

Suddenly someone released such a large-scale haze spell in the auditorium. It's not a good thing! There is a traitor among the top leaders of our academy!"

"I know, Xiao Li, stand behind me. Oxford, don't come over here yet."

Dean Hank also noticed something was wrong at the first moment.

He stood in front of Richard, blocking the road between Oxford and Richard. Then he glared at the hall and shouted:

"Everyone, release the Illumination spell to illuminate your surroundings, and be careful to prevent someone from taking advantage of the chaos to attack you!
Who is behind this!
I warn you, whether you want to assassinate or steal, find a good time!
This is the memorial service for the Great Wizard Kappa. The Great Wizard Kappa devoted his life to the truth and died a great and glorious death. You are actually at the memorial service for the Great Wizard Kappa. This is a blasphemy against the truth!

If you still have any honor as a spellcaster, stop immediately!"

"Dean, be careful!"

At this moment, Oxford suddenly shouted and rushed to Dean Hank.

Suddenly, a gust of dark wind suddenly gushed out from the chandelier that had fallen to the side, heading straight towards Richard and the others.

call!
Richard's eyes suddenly turned gray, as if the whole world had fallen into darkness. When he woke up, a pitch-black Western rapier had pierced Oxford's heart, and then pierced Oxford and stabbed Dean Hank's chest.

The owner of that Western rapier turned out to be a dark elf with a handsome face and wearing a black light-blocking robe!

His eyes, burning with dark flames, made Richard's breathing quicken.

It turned out to be a legendary stalker!
The dark elves living underground always have great respect for assassins who are good at using poison arrows to kill.

However, what they admire most are the super killers who come and go without a trace and launch sudden attacks on their targets - the stalkers.

The stealth fighters gave up their ranged attack capabilities in exchange for more powerful shadow power.

They have mastered the secret of shadow raid and can shuttle through traps, magic, and swordplay like ghosts, approaching their targets silently and then launching deadly attacks.

There are no pupils in the eyes, but they are burning with dark flames, which is the most distinctive feature of the legendary stealth.

This proves that they have acquired elemental vision, which allows them to see through the elements, and have undergone painful and dangerous dark rituals.

The magic-breaking swords in their hands can easily tear open the spellcaster's mana shield, and they can also hide in the darkness to avoid most magic, which naturally makes them very effective against spellcasters with weak constitutions.

Compared to mages who have a wide variety of complex magic, stealth warriors are only good at killing, and they have done it to the extreme.

A mage who is caught unprepared and approached by a stealth fighter of the same level will almost certainly die.

Whoa!

The legendary stalker suddenly pulled out the pitch-black rapier, and a stream of dirty black blood flowed out of the chests of Dean Hank and Oxford at the same time.

Oxford fell to the ground with a plop on his face, his life or death unknown, while Dean Hank burst into pieces with a snap!
Richard was overjoyed!
Dean Hank was not ambushed, he was prepared!

Crunch!

Under the stalker's feet, emerald green thorns pushed up the smooth and clean tile floor, and the thorns twisted and twisted rapidly.

They were like a pair of giant hands, trying to wrap up the legendary stalker.

The legendary stealth warrior swung his sword to chop the thorns, but the thorns grew much faster than he could chop them, and soon they wrapped around him, forming a big thorn ball.

Chila! The thorn ball suddenly contracted like a beating heart, trying to strangle the legendary stalker wrapped inside.

But the thorn ball shrank in silence. The legendary stalker had already disappeared into the shadows and escaped from the thorn ball.

But the roots of the thorn ball suddenly emitted a strong light, which burned the darkness like a flame and burned the legendary stealth fighter out of his invisible state for a moment.

Unfortunately, it was only a moment, too short for Hank to connect with the new magic.

Dean Hank disappeared, and so did the legendary stalker.

Mages and assassins are similar in nature. Apart from all kinds of strange life-saving magic and props, mages and assassins are essentially glass cannons with weak physiques and low health.

Each of them has the ability to kill the other instantly, it just depends on who can strike first.

Now, the two legends are hiding silently in the dark, waiting for the opportunity to make their opponent reveal a flaw and then strike a fatal blow.

It's like two snipers facing each other at the middle gate, no one dares to show up first.

Legends have their legendary battlefields, and mortals have their mortal battlefields.

Apparently, there was more than one legendary stalker among the assassins who showed up at the memorial service!
Hu Hu Hu.

The sound of wind whistling in Richard's ears.

The sound of crossbow bolts! It was likely that some dark elf assassins were hiding in the shadows, using poison to hunt down the mages in the auditorium who were trapped in the haze and had their vision severely restricted.

The people attending this memorial service included middle and high-level people in the entire Travel City. If they all died here, it would be a lot of fun.

Who arranged the assassination? Who was the target?

Richard took a deep breath, reached into his trouser pocket, and held the two scrolls.

Seven-ring legendary magic [Hercules Barrier],
Seven-ring legendary magic [Escape Route].

One shield and one escape, a resurrection combination.

Although these two magic scrolls were cold, their priceless and noble feel still gave Richard a full sense of security.

But at this moment, Richard suddenly saw Oxford, who was lying on the ground, twitched violently.

"Oxford! You are not dead yet?" Richard was surprised and happy!

Oxford, who was supposed to be dead, raised his head. His face was pale and his eyes were rolled back.

"Richard! I'll kill you!"

Oxford suddenly jumped up from the ground and rushed towards Richard.

"Get out! What the hell? Don't get close to me!"

Richard was startled and subconsciously pulled out the magic scroll [Hercules Barrier] and blew it hard on Oxford's face.

When I go up there is a legendary scroll!
Oxford was hit by Richard and his body trembled and fell to the ground.

But he did not give up. Instead, he lay on the ground and shouted:

"Richard, where are you? I'm going to kill you!

Don't be afraid of the stigmata shackles. You won't be afraid of them when you die.

Don't be afraid of the shackles, let me kill you!"

Richard: ...

Huh?! What the hell is this guy from Oxford yelling about? He's crazy!

Richard was in a trance for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes wide.

He understood!

"This isn't real! I'm not in reality, I'm in a near-death hallucination!
Death Illusion is a magic I developed that can make the recipient see the illusion of his or her impending death.

For powerful mages, the content of the illusion can be customized by them.

There are ten thousand ways for a person to die. Being stabbed is death, being crushed by a chandelier is also death. The way the recipient dies can be customized.

If an assassin kills someone, the words the assassin says before killing can naturally be customized!

Someone is using the magic of near-death illusion, which can force others to reveal their cards, to pass on information to me!
Wow! Genius! This magic can be used in this way? Even I, the creator of the magic, didn't think of it.

Everything that happened in the near-death vision was my hallucination. Even Maher Changren couldn't use magic to project my consciousness completely. He could only observe it roughly.

Before the near-death hallucination ended, the information I obtained in the hallucination was top secret among top secrets!

This is a great way to pass on information!
Richard was shaking with excitement.

He quickly ran to Oxford and slapped another legendary scroll at Oxford's right cheek.

"I am Richard, get out of here and don't try to kill me!"

"Richard! Hahaha! I found Richard. Richard, I'm going to kill you!

Even if I kill you, you will never know that there is something your teacher left for you in the underground cell of Saint Laurent Prison.

Your teacher Kapa is gone, no one will protect you wholeheartedly anymore! Even Mahir can't do that! You'd better wait for death!

I warn you, don't go to the Holy See before you meet Lolo, otherwise I will not only kill you, but also your entire family.

Richard, you die! All of you die! "

Oxford in the illusion trembled all over, stood up swaying, opened his hands and grabbed Richard's pants and pulled hard.

He bared his teeth and was about to bite Richard's thigh hard.

"You still want to bite me! Be quiet! Don't think I'm easy to bully just because I have no magic power!"

Snapped!
Richard smashed Oxford's head with a legendary scroll, breaking Oxford apart.

But this time, Oxford didn't say anything.

He twitched all over as if he had accomplished some mission, and became the first person to be killed by the legendary scroll (physical).

The picture freezes, and then bang! The whole world shatters!
The illusion in Richard's eyes faded away like the tide.

When he saw the surrounding situation clearly, his pupils suddenly shrank.

Grass!
It’s all true!

The haze is not an illusion, the legendary stalker assassinating Hank is not an illusion, and Oxford's death is not an illusion!

His near-death vision began with the dead Oxford's twitching.
