The brave man opened the coffin and rose

Chapter 144: Method of Blocking the Mage

Look at what happened to Abes.

He encountered a large-scale ice storm spell bombardment, which easily reminded him of the wizard figure wrapped in light fog that he encountered at the Lizardman supply camp.

The enemy in front of him, Old Winston, who had been hit but not killed in time, released thick smoke, obscuring a large area of ​​space around him.

If it were anyone else, their reaction at this time would be that they were being attacked by Hiirogi and old Winston together.

After all, the enemy encountered that day was a mage, Bing Nagi was also a mage, and the old man in front of him who was wrapped in thunderstorms was also a mage. The Mage Tower was also an important power center of the small kingdom of Wommza.

After such a series of events, anyone who is not a careless fool can come to this conclusion with a little reasoning.

After all, life is not a joke. Even though Abes thought that his current combat power level did not seem to have allowed him to encounter many difficult opponents, if he allowed himself to be attacked by two wizards, the result would still be somewhat uncertain.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that Bingnai has been reluctant to take action.

However, Abes didn't need to think about these things.

After all, although Ms. Bingnagi cast a spell, judging from the blood mist mode, the color she represented was still green, which was on the same side as herself.

So, when he saw the familiar ice splashing, Abes was indeed startled, but he quickly calmed down.

She was not attacking herself, but was attacking the area where she was in order to prevent the old wizard in front of her from escaping.

As for how old Winston, who was hiding in the thick smoke and slowly transforming, was directly locked by Abess, it was even simpler.

No matter how it changes, the dot representing him is still clearly visible in the blood mist mode.

That rather firm red hostile color, but surrounded by rolling lightning and dark fog; but now, the outside is covered with a layer of gray color.

Therefore, in the billowing smoke, Abes blinked his eyes and took a careful breath. After making sure that the smoke in front of him was not corrosive or irritating, he raised his half-sword and moved forward according to the instructions on the small map in the blood mist mode.

After getting closer, he saw the other party raising his hand as if he wanted to do something. Without having time to think, Abes naturally raised his knife and cut off the last few fingers of the other party.

----------

When the smoke cleared, Bing Nagi immediately clenched the staff in his hand.

If it was old Winston who came out, she would naturally fight immediately.

But if it was Abes who came out, she would probably still need to explain. Before ensuring that she could communicate with the other party safely and securely, she might still need some preparation for battle, so as to ensure that she could serve for a while in the hands of this brave man from a thousand years ago.

But as the smoke dissipated, the situation before her made her feel a little overwhelmed.

It was indeed Abes who showed up, but the brave man in front of him did not look at him with hostility, but waved at him with ease.

"Why don't you come over here quickly and help me control this old guy, or do you have unrealistic expectations of this colleague?"

Bing Nagi was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked to Abes.

"You...when were you?"

when?

After a brief pause, Abes realized that the mage in front of him had probably been feeling uneasy ever since she brought the griffin to him.

Even now, Abes could feel her nervousness and vigilance.

So after thinking about it, Abes smiled and said, "Let me think about it. If you said that you are a wizard from the royal capital, I already knew it from the beginning."

After all, with the blessing of riding, I had already gained a lot of information when I touched the griffin for the first time.

Through the information that Kronos told him that only the royal family in the small kingdom of Wommza can raise griffins, it has been confirmed that they are the mages of the royal capital.

"If you ask me when I believed you..." In the blood mist mode, Abes looked at the green friendly color mark in front of him, and nodded, "Always."

This is the truth. After all, Hiiragi's color has never changed. It is the same color represented by Kronos or Anivia.

So it can be said that ever since she received the blessing of Holy Blessing and unlocked the blood mist mode by stepping into the inner city wall, Abes has never doubted her again.

All along...

When she heard these words coming from the hero's mouth, Bing Nagi couldn't help but twist her body to avoid the other's golden eyes.

As if her hands were frozen, Bing Nagi covered her face, and then the sound of her exhaling could be heard.

Then she released her hands that were covering her face and seemed to relax a little.

"Okay, have you recovered yet, my dear Master Mage?"

Although he has not yet obtained the corresponding protection for the function of recruiting companions, Abes has great trust in Hime and the rest of his companions.

Because compared to the new visitors in the tavern, this group of people who started from humble beginnings and gained help bit by bit often have deeper emotions.

Seeing that Hiinagi nodded, Abes also threw his question over.

"I called you over here to ask if the mages have any methods of blocking mages?"

----------

Why is there a need for a trust exchange beforehand?

The answer is simple. If Abes had asked Hyoanagi this question before this day, it would have been hard not to suspect that the other party wanted to target her as a mage.

Only by opening one's heart and establishing trust like now, can the other party know that the question he asks is not directed at her, but because there is a special need for prisoners on the battlefield.

When Hiinagi heard Abes' question, she was slightly stunned, then after thinking for a moment, she replied, "The magician's blocking method? In fact, for a magician who doesn't have the talent for fine spellcasting, cutting off hands and feet and gouging out the tongue can deal with most situations."

Abes was a little dumbfounded, but then he realized how easy it was for mages to regenerate severed limbs.

This is why there are not many doctors and pharmacists like Matthew, and why medical studies and research have developed slowly over the past thousand years.

Anyway, they can be easily rescued, so cutting off limbs or cutting out tongues are not bloody and cruel things after all.

Cutting off hands and feet and gouging out tongues are just the two main components of dealing with language and gesture in most spells.

As for the spell materials... they are all captured. If the supervisor can still get access to spell materials or magical instruments that don't require spell materials, how carefree he must be.

As if she noticed Abes's expression, Hiinagi added, "Of course, if you don't like it... you can start with the three major components of language, posture, and materials."

"The Three Eastern Kingdoms have a spell called Sealing, which can temporarily deprive the magic network of its magic power, entering a state of dead magic, and preventing mages from casting spells within a limited time."

"If it's the North, it seems that petrification is used more often - the potion made from the eyeballs of petrified lizards can petrify people. In this case, it can also prohibit the use of language and gestures."

"But why are you asking these questions... On the battlefield, swords have no eyes. Now that you have controlled the enemy, you can just strike him down with your sword."

When hearing Abes' question, Hyoanagi understood that the other party seemed to want to capture old Winston alive.

But in her words, Bingnai was very much against Abess's decision to spare old Winston's life.

After all, this stubborn old man's actions are too much like the characters in those traditional stories in the North - he killed the king twice; he was ambitious and caused endless troubles.

Although everyone knows that there may be some trap left by the devil in the North, which leads to the constant occurrence of things like loving fathers and filial sons, friendly brothers and respectful younger brothers, and harmonious relationship between the monarch and his subjects.

But an ambitious person is an ambitious person, what is there to do if he stays?

They have been insurgents all along, not superiors, so they don't need to consider those profound twists and turns.

Now, this evil thief was in the hands of Abes and her Hyōnagi, and with just a slight movement, they could stab the weapon into the back of his neck.

What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for?

----------

After listening to Hiinagi's answer, Abes was silent for a while, then nodded slightly.

"Thank you for your answer, Hiiragi. I understand." He said, with a hint of clarity in his eyes.

It's not that he is heartless, or that he suddenly changed sides when the fruits of victory were within reach - it was clearly agreed that all those who rode on the necks of the people would be punished with equal bloody revenge, but he suddenly proposed to capture old Winston alive. Such a move is likely to cause others to have some bad interpretations.

But just now, he saw some unusual changes.

In the direction of the palace, the dot sitting inside the palace changed color.

This forced Abes to choose a method that would involve the least sacrifice.

----------

In the royal palace, the king stood in the study and looked out at the palace, his thoughts changing rapidly.

The reason why he sent the last armed force loyal to the king to launch a brazen attack on old Winston was because he knew very well that no matter which warlord entered the city, his life could be saved. As for old Winston, if his teacher was relieved, he would find an opportunity to replace him with other brothers.

After being dragged down, in order to maintain the integrity of their teacher, one can imagine where these disciples who had done the deed went.

It can be said that it was precisely in order to maintain his own status and life that the "King" launched the "Mutiny" and took advantage of the moment to attack old Winston who had taken action personally.

He had a lot of plans in his mind, just waiting for the moment when old Winston was distracted. Then the people he sent out would be able to easily resolve the chaos outside.

As for the refugees, he never considered them as winners.

But he never expected that the situation before him would be so dramatic. He was still paying attention to the battle situation at the inner city gate on the east side, but he didn't expect that someone had already opened the inner city gate on the west side, allowing the enemy to march in.

Now, apart from the not-so-thick walls of the palace, what is the greatest force that can sustain his life?

The greatest power! The greatest power!

While thinking like this crazily, the "King" also looked up at the sky.

By the way, the Mage Tower is a place for me to learn and grow.

As long as the mages in the Mage Tower are willing to take action, the situation can be turned around immediately.

In order to ensure that the Mage Tower stands on his side, the only person he can trust is... Old Winston, the current powerful person in the Mage Tower.

And it was precisely because of the thoughts and ideas of the "king" inside the palace that Abes discovered a clue under the display of blood mist mode - why did the person in the palace have the same camp color as old Winston?

----------

Before arriving at the royal capital, Abes still fantasized that he had a huge army and could advance relying on the general trend.

But he never expected that the Supreme Being would teleport him to the royal capital in advance.

And the bear goblin Kurgei, by coincidence, opened up a space where a teleportation stele was located.

By using this method, Kronos brought all the troops of Sweet Leaf Town directly to the vicinity of the royal capital.

In other words, the battle with the royal capital was not within Abes's plan at all.

And now, the color of the camp represented by the king has turned into the same color as the old Winston in front of him, which is very telling.

I'm afraid the king is no longer the king?

After all, if that were the case, old Winston should have turned into the color of the king, and the dot represented by the king should be larger than old Winston who was being controlled in front of him.

The dot represented by old Winston is even bigger than the dot in the palace, which represents a very scary thing.

The king obeys the wizard in the wizard tower?

No, it shouldn't be like this. What Kronos told himself about the past of the small kingdom of Łomza was clearly not the case.

Although the king is young and arrogant, he definitely has real power.

And now, this misalignment of affiliation and superiors and subordinates at least means that the young king who used to have real power is probably no longer here.

Either the other party already has evidence that is life-threatening, or it is the worst-case scenario that Abes could have imagined.

"Hyounagi, the time you fought with me, you were still a mage from the Mage Tower, right?"

"Eh? Right."

"So now you are on my side, what happened along the way?"

"Meeting on the way? What do you mean?"

"The king...is the king's freedom and life threatened?"

Hirayama looked up in surprise, and saw Abes' serious gaze in front of her.
