Chapter 185: 184. The Magician's Counterattack
Chapter 185 184. The Magician's Counterattack
A hint of refreshing coolness is accompanied by maple syrup and refreshing red bean paste melting in the mouth, and then slowly flowing into the stomach along the esophagus. The true feeling of tasting food alone at that moment is the best proof of existence in this world.
Surdak was almost lying on that comfortable wooden chair. This place is at the intersection of two main roads on the southern **** of the hill, and the surrounding vegetation and trees are well maintained. However, because it is located on a high hill, The field of vision is also extremely wide, and the entire Evelson City can be seen almost in full view.
There are many vehicles passing by on the road, but there are not many guests staying here.
Those who have free time to sit at this cold drink stand are basically tourists who come here, and only they are willing to sit here and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the whole city.
A convoy slowly drove out of the castle on the top of the hill, with fifty cavalry at the front of the convoy clearing the way.
Behind them are a few young nobles riding docile ancient Bolai horses, wearing gorgeous and exquisite dresses, wearing badges symbolizing various identities on their chests, following behind the cavalry, they are talking and laughing on horseback.
Three ornate magical caravans were sandwiched in the middle of the team, and the striking Busman family crest was hung on the side wall of the caravan.
It is probably the prestige accumulated over the years that makes all the pedestrians on the road respect him.
At the end of the team was still a cavalry regiment of 50 men. Judging by the posture of this trip, it was not difficult to guess that it was a certain important person from the Busman family.
In Suldak's view, it is very likely that the owner of the castle is Duke Ryan Busman.
I heard that the largest noble force in Evelson Province is the Busman family. This is an ancient noble family that has inherited countless honors. Well, half of the industry in the entire city belongs to the Busman family. Even now, the Busman family is going downhill step by step, but the heritage accumulated by the family for hundreds of years is quite rich.
It so happened that the two guests at the next table happened to be discussing the Duke of Busman in a private voice. Although the voice was not loud, Suldak could just hear everything in his ears.
And Duke Ryan Busman's reputation is obviously not very good. Although he is also a legendary figure belonging to the province of Evelson, everyone knows him not because of some of his heroic deeds, or because of the good deeds that Aiminruzi has done to benefit the people, but because of his endless pornographic news.
It is said that the Duke Ryan Busman of this generation is a ruthless character who must be vengeful, and the nobles and lords in the entire Evelson province dare not offend him. Even though the Duke has already lost his grandchildren He can fill a room, and based on his age, he should be regarded as an old man in the eyes of ordinary people. He is about to lie in a coffin to meet the family ancestors, but recently there have been some scandals in the imperial capital.
I heard that he was actually jealous of a young magician, and because that magician was inextricably linked to the Angibald royal family, Duke Ryan was sent back to Evelson Province by Emperor Charles in disgrace. In this way, even with the aura of victory in the Warsaw plane on his head, it did not change the bad impression of him in the imperial capital.
The huge castle in that majestic city should be the residence of the Busman family.
Where are these vehicles coming from? You don't need to guess and you should know that they are family members of the Busman family.
Suldak felt that it was not a gentleman who was eavesdropping beside him, but at this time, he couldn't directly cover his ears, so he could only turn his head and look at the street scene in the distance.
The bussman family's convoy passed by on the street.
The knights in front were dressed in neat black armor and sat on all-black scaled horses with black metal helmets on their heads. They seemed to be the elite knights guarding the Busman family.
In contrast, the young nobles riding Gu Bolai's horses in the back, although they were gorgeously dressed, it can be seen from their talking and laughing tone that they were a bit too frivolous.
One by one looked oily and powdery, with something smeared on their faces, and each one was as pale as paper.
All of them are quite self-satisfied, and they don't know where the confidence on their faces comes from.
There are some female family members sitting in the magic caravan, and these female family members frequently look out through the glass windows of the caravan.
Suldak was also very curious to look over, and he could see a delicate and beautiful face in the front windows.
It's just that the makeup on their faces is too thick, and the real age of these ladies cannot be seen at all.
I can only see that each of them seems to have a huge flower basket on their heads, and flowers of various colors are piled up on the hats, and each of them is very eye-catching. The hats on their heads even cover the beautiful faces. .
Until the third magic caravan, Suldak finally saw a few older women in the magic caravan.
Moreover, there was an old man with an old face sitting in the caravan. Through the glass window, one could see that he was a little thin and energetic, and his eyes were as dark and cold as a falcon.
Just when Suldak was wondering if this old man was Duke Ryan Busman, a huge fireball suddenly appeared from a bush in the distance.
The fireball was billowing with thick smoke, and quickly flew towards the third magic caravan. Before the knights in front and behind the team could react, the huge fireball hit the third magic caravan at the same time. A transparent mask appeared on the magic caravan, and the fireball exploded completely when it hit the mask.
With a bang, the coachman sitting on the driver's seat in front of the carriage was thrown tens of meters away.
The clothes on the back completely melted in an instant, and the whole body was burnt red like boiled prawns. It seemed that the skin and flesh on the surface were completely cooked, and the whole person fell on the stone floor in front of him. His head was bleeding, his limbs twitched a few times, and one leg slowly straightened.
The ropes that tied the horses were all burned by the fire. The four ancient horses were seriously frightened. After losing their restraints, they spread their hooves and ran straight down the road. The entire caravan was engulfed in flames. The knights behind the team hurriedly Urging the horses to catch up, the team of knights in front divided a cavalry squad, and quickly chased after them in the woods over there.
At this time, the door of the magic caravan was kicked open, and an old man with a angry face split the flames with a sword from the inside, and jumped out of the car with one hand supporting a middle-aged lady. Slashing with his long sword, a gap was made in the burning flames, but he took a big step outward, and he stood outside the flames.
At this time, fifty knights also rushed up from behind, and everyone rushed forward at the same time, while extinguishing the flames with all their might, and rescued all the trapped ladies in the carriage. This carriage seems to have a strong anti-magic attribute , the ladies trapped inside were not seriously injured, but their faces were paled by the sudden fire. During the rescue process, not only the gorgeous clothes were soiled, but even the hats on their heads were ruined and messy. Someone jumped directly at the old man's feet and howled.
The old man with the long sword in his hand showed an angry face, but he just ordered sarcastically to his subordinates: "Catch me..."
The captain of the guard knights, whose face was red and white, raised the knight's long sword high in his hand, and shouted to the knights under him: "Chasing the attacker with all my strength, shoot and kill!"
The team of knights who had sneaked into the woods had already spotted their target at this time. With the sound of shouts and short fights, a magician in black robes and magic cone hat stumbled out of the woods.
He rode a magic scorpion, turned into a black shadow, and rushed towards the north wall of Everson City quickly. Arrows flew past the magician's feet without exception.
…
The sudden turn of events shocked Suldak too. He didn’t expect to see the magician attacking the noble convoy just after he arrived in Evelson City...
