Heart of the Castle

Chapter 740 Terrifying Tenfold Healing Technique Torture
A ghostly figure ran forward under the night, faster than a galloping horse, but it didn't make a louder sound than a mouse running, and there was no smoke and dust from its feet, as if this figure was not a real entity, but just a Like phantom shadows.

Silver Moon Maya hangs low to the western sky, like a dull silver coin, while Red Moon Mata hangs high on the zenith, looking like a weeping scar on the dark sky.The night is getting darker and thicker. If it is an ordinary person, the field of vision can only reach about ten meters at most. Running at high speed in this situation is very dangerous. Just one negligence may twist the ankle or break the knee. If you are unlucky , and may even break your head.

However, this figure obviously cannot be seen to be affected by the dimming of the light. Although his footsteps are so fast that it is almost impossible to see clearly, the place where he stepped just avoided the rocks that might trip people, the grass that might hoop his feet, and A hole that might break a knee, as if walking in a familiar courtyard rather than galloping across an unfamiliar wilderness.

This figure ran south along the Oath River for about three kilometers, and then turned to the west, where there were low hills and scattered trees. An abandoned stone watchtower stood alone on the hillside, and the top of the half-collapsed tower The crenel and the crenel stretched into the sky like a broken arm of despair. A dilapidated door panel was hanging precariously at a height of nearly ten meters from the ground. In the dark door opening, there was faintly beating and flickering blue light, as if a bolt of lightning was restrained in it.

The figure stopped and turned to stare at the abandoned watchtower, with the blood in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.A few seconds later, he shrugged his thin shoulders, changed his direction again, and rushed towards the watchtower.

As a part of the outer protection of the royal capital Fermeyer, the building material of this watchtower is white stone of the same texture as the royal capital city wall. About 15 meters.A circle of collapsed walls surrounded the entire top of the hillside, protecting the main body of the watchtower and several low stone houses next to the bottom of the tower; for safety reasons, the only entrance to the watchtower was the wooden door ten meters above the ground, Before it was abandoned, the guards needed to rely on a steep wooden ladder to climb up and down, but now the ladder has fallen behind the wall, blackened by the flames, and broken into four or five pieces.

For ordinary people, the wooden ladder is the only way to enter the watchtower, but for this ghostly figure, losing the wooden ladder is not even a trouble.He quickly flew up the tower, borrowed some strength from the slumped wooden door, and his figure disappeared into the darkness behind the entrance.

The room is filled with flickering blue light. The light source comes from a crystal ball placed on the stone table. A tall figure is standing beside the stone table, wrapped in a long black cloak that reaches knees, with his right hand on the On the crystal ball, the blood-red lining of the cuffs was turned over, and many exquisite patterns were embroidered with golden silk thread, as if it was wriggling under the blue light.

"You are finally here." When the ghostly figure rushed into the room, the tall figure turned around as if he had noticed it in advance. Face to face, have you brought Levi Ston's head?"

The ghostly figure hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. Although his tone was still soft and menacing, there was a trace of imperceptible fear, "I approached that young human, but his head... the Lord of the Web didn't let him take it down... ..."

"That is to say, you failed again, and you were seriously injured, so you fled back brazenly." The tall figure interrupted the Faceless Man's defense with a stern tone, "If the Lord of the Net you believe in Seeing you in such a state of embarrassment, will God's punishment be merciless?"

"grown ups……"

"You once boasted that the dagger protruding from the darkness would solve all my problems. But all I saw was failure, failure and failure." The tall figure took a step forward, and the golden eyes A cold and angry light shone. "I can forgive you for failing to keep the magician who spied on our actions, because he is the fire wizard Juno Ann Merist, a legendary magician who has comprehended the original power of fire; I can forgive Hasauuddin for escaping from the devil's pursuit, because he suddenly crossed the threshold of vindictiveness on the battlefield and became a sky knight. But this time, what excuse do you have for your failure? Levi Stone Not even the title knight, his strength is not worth mentioning in front of you!"

Accompanied by the last stern rebuke, the crystal ball beside the tall figure suddenly emitted a light that was several times stronger than before, driving away the darkness in the room, revealing every detail in the room.The Faceless Man looked flustered, took a step back, and raised his hand to block the glare that made his eyes sting.

"My lord, that young man... Li Weiston has two guardian knights with legendary strength, so I..."

"If there is no problem with my memory, the Faceless Man who was injured by the dagger should be an assassin organization?" The tall figure also revealed his true face under the strong light, and the stern and profound facial features of the Lord of the Eyes Tomad Jansen were reflected like sculptures The sight of the faceless man made him take another step back, and then he found that he had no way to retreat, and the dark night sky was behind him. "It's too ridiculous for a legendary assassin to be discovered by a knight, even if he is also a legendary powerhouse!"

"No knight can detect the faceless man in stealth!" The faceless man angrily lowered the arm covering his eyes, revealing red garnet-like eyes and distinctive long pointed ears, a cluster of thick pale Long blue hair protruded from the black hood covering most of the head, hanging on the skin like charcoal burned by flames. "My lord, please don't trample on the dignity of the Faceless!"

"Having dignity is a good thing, but you have to rely on your own ability to maintain it." Tomad Jansen pointed out calmly. "Answer my question, you failed to take off Li Weiston's head this time. Apart from the fact that the King of the Net didn't bless you, is there any reason you can say?"

A trace of resentment flashed in the bloody eyes of the Faceless Man, "The guy who found me should be a colleague with average strength, but he has quite good shadow stealth ability and very keen sense... and should have some demon blood. "

"Demon blood? Are you saying that an assassin with shadow stealth ability and demon blood was found beside the hero who fought against the evil disaster, Dawn of the North, Levi Ston?" Thomas Jansen's face showed for the first time. Surprised expression, "It's not uncommon to have the ability to sneak in the shadows, but if you also have demon blood, the only thing I can think of is the shadow assassin, the sharpest dagger in the hands of the demon lord!"

"What is the sharpest dagger? If the black armored knight hadn't intervened in time, I would have killed that guy long ago!" The Faceless Man snorted disdainfully.

"But it turned out that your mission failed completely because of a shadow assassin you disdain." Tomad Jansen's sharp and hurtful tone made the faceless man's eyes flicker fiercely again, but he found another Nothing to justify myself. "Give us one more chance, my lord." Finally, he raised his head high, his voice soaked with the venom brewed by pain and hatred. "Use our lives to guarantee that we will be able to complete the task this time!"

"I have given you too many opportunities, faceless men with dagger wounds, but every time you have given me disappointment. The corner of Tomad Jansen's mouth curled up in a cold and merciless arc, and then his right hand flicked across the stone. The strong blue light on the crystal ball on the table gradually weakened, and a huge military camp shrouded in night appeared instead. On the towering giant siege equipment, the golden griffin flag was proudly fluttering in the wind. "I am not a mean and unkind person, but such failures will never be allowed to continue. You have one last chance to sneak into the camp of the northern troops tonight. No matter how high the price is, the Griffin Lord Li Weishi Ton must die! "

"The Faceless Man with the dagger wound will never let you down, my lord." The Faceless Man promised, "Leviston is dead, he will never see the sun tomorrow." Then he jumped back and entered In the darkness of night.

Watching the figure of the Faceless Man disappear at the door, Thomas Jansen's originally calm face suddenly revealed an expression of anger, and those golden eyes burned like two miniature suns, and an invisible force followed His movements suddenly expanded, sweeping everything in the room.The solid stone table seemed to have been baptized by hundreds of years of wind and frost in an instant. There were deep weathering marks on the table, and then it collapsed; the crystal ball showing the northern camp also made a crisp cracking sound , There are countless cracks as thin as spider webs on it.

"Gods be damned!" The Lord of the Eyes cursed, and swung his arms towards the crystal ball. The invisible force rolled up the crystal ball and hit the opposite wall heavily. With a scream like a dying beast, The crystal ball exploded into countless sharp transparent needle rains, splashing towards the surroundings.

"How many times will that damned griffin lord destroy my plans? Without him, Northern County would have been in my pocket long ago, and the supreme authority of the Kingdom of Arthur would be within reach!" Thomas Janson said The low growl gradually turned into a hysterical roar, and the Lord Gnat Eyes, who had always shown a gentle image, became like a crazy beast. His long golden hair shook frantically as if he had a flame of his own life, as if he was dancing for a while. A frightening dance.

"He must die, must, and must be before breaking through the dark fortress." After venting the madness accumulated in his heart, the Lord of Eyes returned to his usual calm expression, and his voice turned cold and ruthless. "If the faceless man injured by the dagger can't do it, Team Leader Bell will trouble you to take action."

There seemed to be a low laugh in the darkness as an answer. The sound was faint, and it would be hard to detect if you didn't concentrate all your attention.However, the smile that Thomas Jansen showed afterwards meant that his order had been heard by that person.

"The highest alert level, the patrol team has doubled manpower, the leading knight is a champion knight, and each team has two big bobcats. All the shadow assassins under Alan Skett's command are arranged in the central area of ​​the camp, in groups of two, closely watching the stealth enemy."

Li Weiston, the guardian of the entire Kingdom of Arthur, ordered with a stern face, and then Wilps, who was the commander of the barracks, repeated the order, and then kowtowed on his chest, "Let me take my leave, Your Excellency the Regent, I will go and take my leave now." Pass the order."

"Thank you, Lord Wilps." Li Wei tapped his breastplate with the same etiquette. After the flame wheel knight strode away, the young regent turned his gaze to the other corner of the tent. The elite shadow assassin Arance Kate was lying on a thick Val wool blanket, being treated by Mr. Dish's healing spell.

Alan Skett was seriously injured.Although elite shadow assassins can display the strength equivalent to that of a sword-wielding lord in a face-to-face fight, they don't have fighting energy to protect their bodies, and their defense power is almost not much stronger than that of ordinary demons.Even under a cloud of soft white light, his expression was still full of pain that even the rune cloth strips could not conceal. Following a strong cough, purple-red blood froth continuously gushed out from the corner of his mouth, and in the blink of an eye, Stained a large blanket red.

"It's a very weird original power, not very powerful, but it's destroying Arlans' body non-stop, and it seems to be trying to avoid confrontation with the power of the healing technique." Mr. Dish's brows were enveloped There was a hint of gloom, but at least his tone maintained his usual confidence, "This is the first time I have seen this kind of original power. Fortunately, the body of the Shadow Assassin is stronger than that of ordinary knights, otherwise it would not be able to support it now."

"Mr. Dish, don't you have a better way?" Levi walked over, looking worriedly at Alan Skett's face distorted by pain, "If Alan Skett hadn't launched a surprise attack desperately, I'm afraid That dark elf assassin could have slit my throat with a short sword."

"Let me try to increase the power of some healing techniques and see if there will be a turnaround?" The old magician stretched out his right hand while making several complicated gestures, and the white light of the healing technique suddenly It was several times stronger.Alan Skett let out a hoarse scream suddenly, his body was tense like a bowstring, every muscle group seemed to be twitching violently, and he could hardly help bouncing off the Val wool blanket.

"Patience, Arance, you must be patient!" Mr. Dish's eyes flashed with interest, not only did not withdraw the healing technique that was several times stronger, but continued to increase the output of power. "Although that original force is not easy to expel, it is very in line with your physical attributes. Once it can be dispersed, it will be of great help to you."

"I... I can bear it!" Yalan Skett clenched his fists tightly, with such strength that his bones seemed to be creaking, "Compared to the transformation ceremony of the Shadow Assassin, this pain is nothing What... it doesn't matter at all!"

"Yes, you can do it." Mr. Dish nodded in agreement almost happily, and then made a series of gestures again, "Then continue to strengthen the effect of the healing technique, and try to increase the power by about ten times."

As the brightness of the white light became stronger, Alan Skett's screams also reached a new level.Li Wei subconsciously covered his ears, and at the same time, the silver-white battle qi flames ignited from every part of his body, but he still couldn't stop the intrusion of this sharp scream that was almost at the limit of human hearing.

The screams even affected the guards outside the tent. Ice Dragon Knight Grun Worm and Steel Fist Knight Dragoonsun couldn't help raising their hands to cover their ears, and the sniper archer Sir Grace couldn't help but frown. Lock.However, compared to Rist Robinson, their performances are pretty normal. Blazing God, who loves beautiful music more than his own life, makes his face look particularly ugly. cover.

"If that guy keeps yelling, I'll use this harp to stuff his mouth!" Rist gritted his teeth, a silver-white light flickered in his blue eyes, "Is there any need to shout?" It’s like this? It’s even worse than the sound of all the demons in the abyss hell screaming at the same time!”

"Mr. Dish, Alans...Alans seems to be unable to bear it any longer!" Li Wei raised his voice, allowing his words to penetrate the tragic howls echoing in the tent, "Will your actions be acceptable?" Something inappropriate?"

The word "not suitable" is simply too polite, and Alan Skett's appearance is not inappropriate at all, but is about to go crazy because of too intense pain.His eyes have protruded from the eye sockets, and the corners of his mouth were split open due to roaring, dripping with blood; most of the rune cloth strips that tightly wrapped his body fell off due to struggling and convulsions, revealing the haggard, dark, covered with dead wood underneath. Horrific bodies that breed demonic tissue—stenoids, cysts, and blood vessels.

"The healing technique with ten times the power is better than the torture of burning the wound with fierce fire." Sir Rodriguez's eyes had already burst into two clusters of dark green flames, at least for the undead to scream. The ability to resist far exceeds that of the living. "As an elite shadow assassin, Alan Skett's ability to withstand pain is far more than a hundred times that of ordinary people. First, he was tortured alive and became a lunatic."

After a particularly high-pitched and tragic scream, like a piglet being stripped, Alan Skett's body bounced up more than half a meter high, and then fell heavily back onto the Val wool blanket.The intense white light of the healing technique dimmed immediately. Mr. Dish wiped the crystal sweat from his forehead, turned around and spread his hands, "It's finally a success, if there are no accidents..."

The voice was interrupted abruptly, and a pitch-black dagger pierced through the old magician's chest from behind without any warning, and the blade of the sword, shining with evil light, was more than ten centimeters exposed!
