Chapter 9 Escape
Paladin ran back to the room and immediately began to pack up the soft packages. He decisively took out the glove from the cabinet and put it on his right hand, covering up the little golden light emitting from the palm of his hand. Then he packed up his dagger and rationed food. Just as he was about to rush out the door, his footsteps suddenly stopped.
Because he saw a small silver-plated cross necklace placed casually on the table. This cross is the most valuable thing on Paladin's body. He also accompanied him to the Free Masons' Union. It was also the name that gave Paladin a very humiliating name in the guild. More likely, it is a token of the unmasked parents!
Paladin expressionlessly took the cross and put it in his bag. Then he decisively took out the Ripley scroll. Keep the above magic circle firmly in mind. A fire was lit and burned.
If the alchemist saw this scene, he would definitely bite off all the flesh from Paladin! This is the highest masterpiece of alchemy, a legendary and dreamlike scroll! Even if he is no longer needed, no one would be so cruel as to burn him!
But Paladin just glanced at the ashes silently, then turned around and left. In his opinion, this legendary scroll is meant to give people great power. And Paladin naturally did not hope that one day the scroll would be lost and someone else would appear to compete with him for the Philosopher's Stone. "The power I have is enough..."
Paladin muttered these words silently, and after changing the magic circle on the ground beyond recognition, he immediately left quietly...
Along the way, Paladin cleverly avoided the guards who were searching back and forth. When he passed the dormitory area and reached the side door of the branch castle, two figures walked out of the dormitory area, leaning on each other. "Onyx Where did everyone go? Why are they missing?"
As soon as Paladin heard this voice, an evil smile appeared on his face. He quickly hid by the wall and took off the glove on his right hand. Five light blades appeared on the five fingers. The two people, clinging to each other and dressed in shabby clothes, were none other than themselves. It was yesterday afternoon that Onix, the student of Paladin, and his charming lover were teased!
The smile on Paladin's face grew wider. He was originally worried about how he could get out now that the castle was full of guards. But now these two idiots showed up. It is much easier to trick people into opening doors by wearing student clothes.
At this moment, Onix and the two had already walked outside the corridor. Onyx, who was about to chat, suddenly saw the humble slave Paladin squatting in the corner, and immediately laughed sarcastically: "You idiot, here..."
Before he could finish his words, Paladin smiled sinisterly and rushed forward quickly! His right hand, glowing with light, waved at the woman in front of him who was about to laugh! There was a crash, probably Paladin's hateful blow, and the woman's entire left breast was scraped off. Blood and internal organs were immediately sprinkled all over the floor!
"Uh..." Onix suddenly saw this accident, and he was stunned for a moment to react. But how could Paladin bring him back to his senses? Turning around, he swooped forward and knocked Onyx down. The light blade in his hand dissipated immediately. Cover his mouth and nose. His left hand immediately clasped Onyx's Adam's apple tightly.
"Woooooooo!" Onyx let out a series of frightened whines, waving his hands weakly and wildly. But because he had no fighting experience, he looked pale and weak. With joy and refreshment after revenge on his face, Paladin suddenly sat on Onix's body. The strength of the hand gradually increased.
Look at Onyx's horrified bloodshot eyes moving left and right. The sinister arc on Paladin's face gradually widened, and he let out a deep laugh: "You're lucky to have you die like this. Don't get my clothes dirty! Hahahaha!"
With a click, Paladin's hand tightened and crushed Onyx's Adam's apple. Then he decisively took off the corpse's clothes and put them on himself. He suddenly changed into an ordinary student. Paladin picked up the package, looked at the side door guarded by four or five guards not far away, put strength under his feet, and quickly left the corridor. Only two corpses were left, lying sadly on the ground, gradually getting cold...
"Which branch are you in? Didn't you know that the dean ordered all the students to gather in the hall?" The five guards guarding the side door suddenly saw Paladin walking silently with his head lowered. Although he looked down on his face, the student uniform still made the guards relax a little bit on their guard.
The leader of the guards stood up, brandishing a hook and sickle gun, and began to question politely. "Ah... is this a side door? Ah, ah... I'm in the wrong place." Paladin made a stupid sound, but his right hand secretly reached behind his back, preparing to take off his gloves. Step by step, he approached the guard. Paladin, who lowered his head, gradually showed a nervous look on his face. After all, this is his first time.
But at this moment, a voice came from behind Paladin: "Botany? Why are you still here! Didn't I tell you all to gather in the hall!" Paladin's eyes widened instantly! His body trembled slightly. Then he raised his head and turned to look at the person behind him with a silly smile on his face!
A frail young man. This was the first impression of this man in Paladin's eyes. But then, Paladin suddenly realized that although he was thin, the resolute look in this man's eyes made Paladin afraid to look directly at him. The long aqua hair that was spread over the shoulders, and the silver-white pupils. Let Paladin confirm that he has never seen this person before after working here for more than 20 years!
Although Paladin has a humble status, he has a share of all the sundries in the castle. So he had even met Dean Ryan several times, so it was impossible that he would not have the slightest impression of this instructor! Recently, I haven't heard of a new mentor coming to the branch, so the identity of this person is worth pondering...
Moreover, what alarmed Paladin the most was that he could see more than 1,200 water-blue elemental bubbles jumping up and down happily around this Nasura! The landscape surrounded the man like a stream. Obviously, Paladin has never seen an alchemist with such powerful magic.
The magical power formed by the number of these twelve hundred elements must have made him a famous magician. Look at himself, the power of more than fifty elements is already easily accessible to ordinary people. Ever since, Paladin's guard became more and more intense.
Paladin, who was thinking this way, pretended to be stupid and asked stupidly: "Mentor? Mentor, why haven't I seen you?"
Although it was very subtle, Paladin still caught the subtle turbulence in the eyes of the thin mentor in front of him. "This person is really not the mentor here! He is an outsider who has sneaked in!" The thin man frowned, grabbed Paladin's ears with a very familiar look, and scolded him with a look of hatred for steel. " Nag! I am the Botanical Tutor of Naxiura! I asked you why your back looks so familiar. Why are you running around alone again! Come back with me! The dean is already very angry!"
Paladin's face was stunned. Seeing the guard's puzzled expression, he couldn't help but smile to himself: "You brought this to your door yourself, an outsider. Don't blame me." So, Paladin tilted his head and sucked his thumb with an innocent look. Asked: "Who are you? I don't know you?"
As soon as these words came out, the guards also noticed something was wrong. They have never met this instructor before! Coupled with the students' questions, their psychological vigilance was raised to the extreme! The leading guard brandished a hook-and-scythe gun and pressed forward step by step, frowning and shouting: "Teacher, please don't move. Show your coat of arms and identity disc. Otherwise..."
The man who called himself Nasura shook his head helplessly and took out a disc and a coat of arms from his bag. He said in a nonchalant tone: "You guards, why are you so nervous? I was just transferred from the headquarters. If you don't believe me, take a look?"
In this short period of time, the guard had not realized the contradiction in these words. Why does a newly transferred instructor recognize the students here? But the body subconsciously walked forward, and gradually lowered the hook, sickle and spear.
