Chapter 67 Turn the tide
After Toby inserted the key into the core of the magic circle, everyone showed a look of despair. Once the magic circle that opened the city gate was activated, it must be fully opened before the switch could be turned off again. That time was enough for the trolls outside the city to rush in.
The closest between them to Toby was indeed four magicians who had lost their magic power, and they were seven or eight meters away, so there was no time to stop him.
"bump!"
A loud bang suddenly came, and Toby's right hand, which was lit with the light of Dou Qi, suddenly burst into a blood mist.
The sudden change made everyone stunned. Toby looked at his right hand that turned into minced meat in a daze. After a few seconds, he let out a shrill scream and leaned to the side with his broken arm in his arms.
When everyone turned around, they saw Xu Yue put away a black metal object. He looked at the soldiers who were stunned by the side and said, "What are you doing? Why don't you catch him quickly!"
The soldiers and officers who woke up hurriedly ran up and pressed Toby, who was still screaming. During this process, Toby wanted to struggle to get up to get up to get the keys in the magic circle. However, two keys were needed to be activated at the same time to open the city gate, and he could not open it with only one broken hand.
After the soldiers tied Toby tightly, the officer guarding the city gate almost bounced up and rushed to the magic circle quickly, pulling out the two keys from the holes of the magic circle.
He hid his key in the inner bag of his clothes again, took the key that Toby took out and observed it carefully. Then he said to himself in a daze: "Impossible. This key should be with the minister of the city gate inspection department. How could it appear in the hands of the thug?"
Xu Yue rolled his eyes at his own words. When he found that the guards at the city gate had been transferred away many times, he suspected that a senior executive in the army of Black Rock City had defected to the trolls. The key that appeared here and the officer's self-talk made him even more affirm his judgment.
"I said! Should we do what we want to deal with now? If the runaway thugs are not found, it is difficult to say what else they will do." He patted the dazed city gate officer and said.
The officer reacted after hearing his words. A determined look resolute and decisive look appeared on his face. After putting away the key in his hand, he said seriously: "Thank you for your help! Mr. Mage! If it weren't for you, the gate of Black Rock City would be lost in our hands, which would be an indelible shame. What's related is that I will report the situation to the top after the fact. I believe that you will be rewarded accordingly after this battle."
"My business is not important!" Xu Yue waved his hand, pointed to Toby who was tied up in a big way and said, "Interrogation of this guy is the most important thing at the moment. I don't want any inexplicable guy to rush over during the time we are talking."
The guard officer at the city gate looked at Toby who was still screaming. The anger in his eyes could even melt the steel. He gritted his teeth and said, "Leave it to me. I will let him explain clearly how many times he had urinated when he was a child."
After saying that, the officer explained the situation here with the soldiers who came to rescue, then grabbed Toby and walked towards a room on the city wall, where the gate guards were specially used for rest.
Then all kinds of shrill screams kept coming from the room. The sound made people feel goose bumps all over. Even Xu Yue outside felt a little pitiful to the unlucky Toby.
It took an hour to go out of the room when the guard of the city gate came out. When he came out, he could even see some blood dripping down from his hands and some broken flesh.
The guards at the city gate may have trusted each other because of the same boat just now, so they did not conceal the result of the interrogation from him.
"This debris is said. This time, three gangs in the city defected to the trolls, the Soul Chasing Gang, the Blood Wolf Gang and the Viper Snake Association. This guy is the leader of the Soul Chasing Gang. The leader of the Blood Wolf Gang, the "Feither Wolf" Locke was injured by your fireball before. This guy was unlucky. When he found him, his body was almost stepped into a meat paste. Only the leader of the Viper Snake Association, Gloria, has never appeared. This is a woman as poisonous as a snake and scorpion. It is a big trouble to let her hide in the dark."
"That's the matter of the patrol team. After all, finding someone is not something we should worry about. Did that guy die?" Xu Yue shrugged and said.
The guard officer at the city gate said angrily: "How could I let him die so easily? His crimes must be sentenced to death at least. This guy has leaked the information from the city for a while. Today, during the day, he told the whereabouts of a bunch of mercenaries to the trolls in order to hold personal grudges. Now that team of mercenaries have probably been wiped out by the trolls!"
After hearing his words, Xu Yue said in his heart: "Oh? Did he say which team of mercenaries are? Maybe those mercenaries have returned safely?"
The officer shrugged helplessly and said, "That's impossible. I was on duty today. The team was led by a goblin, and there was a Level 6 master. If those people were not killed by this bastard, this battle would be a good helper!"
"Oh? Did he say what the goblin is called?" Xu Yue's heart began to beat violently.
"It seems that it's called Evo. Gold Coin? The goblins' names are always so strange. Their greed for gold coins has even been engraved with their names." The officer said helplessly.
Xu Yue's face turned pale in an instant, and his body, which had been weak because of almost exhausted mental power, shook a few times. The officer quickly held him up and said, "My God! It seems that your situation is very bad. Do you want to find a priest to show you?"
Xu Yue reluctantly twitched the corner of her mouth and smiled, "No, it's just a sequelae of mental exhaustion. But I'm afraid I can't participate in the next battle. If I want to fully recover in this situation, it will probably take a whole night."
The officer nodded and said, "Your mission has been exceeded. I will report your situation to the commander, so you don't have to participate in the battle tonight. I will find someone to send you back to your residence and wait until you have rest tomorrow before reporting to the organizer of the Magic Guild. Don't worry, you can try your best to rest. No one will think you are retreating in the face of the battle."
Xu Yue smiled reluctantly and said, "Thank you then. I really need a rest. But I don't have to send someone to me. I'm not that fragile."
The officer said with some concern: "The city is not very safe now, especially those guys who ran away have not caught it yet. It is very dangerous if you encounter them in your current state."
Xu Yue shook his hand, revealing the magic ring he was wearing and said, "As a magician, you always have to keep a few cards to save your life."
After refusing the officer's kindness to send him away, Xu Yue left the city gate alone. However, he did not return to the hotel where he was staying, but ran towards the Magic Guild.
At this time, the magicians who had retreated first had been settled in the Magic Guild, and many injured mages were also recovering from their injuries. After Xu Yue found Pine, the publisher of the convening order, he showed him the letter of proof given to him by the city gate guard officer. Pine happily agreed to his request for rest.
"Good job! Young mage! You have completed your mission excellently, and all mages here are proud of you. Your mental power is exhausted a little too much, so you don't have to participate in the battle tonight to tomorrow during the day. Have a good rest and you can come here to report tomorrow afternoon after restoring your mental power."
Xu Yue respectfully gave a mage gift and said, "Thank you for approving me to rest, Lord Pine. But before I go back, I want to buy a few items for self-defense. I wonder if the trading room is open now?"
Pine thought for a while and said, "The branch's equipment trading room is now closed, and there is no one there. However, you can purchase remotely from the General Guild through the magic circle in the remote trading room. The general equipment trading is responsible for Alchemy Life, and the transaction application is accepted throughout the day."
"Thank you very much for your advice. Then I'll go to the trading room first." After Xu Yue said goodbye politely, he quickly walked into the trading room and opened the magic circle.
Half an hour later, he walked out of the trading room and hurriedly left the Magic Guild.
This time he returned to the hotel first and found Ellie who was waiting for him nervously. After telling Ellie to stay in the room and not go out, he gave the hotel clerk a sum of money to send Ellie to Ellie during the day. He left the hotel again. This time he didn't tell Ellie where he was going, but said that he would come back at the latest tomorrow afternoon.
After leaving the house, Xu Yue ran to the bottom of the city wall. It was now in chaos. Soldiers were constantly accepting orders to rush up to the city, and then injured soldiers were constantly being carried down.
Xu Yue mixed in the soldiers' team and came to the city wall. From here, we can see that the three siege cars that had let the trolls climb onto the city wall had been destroyed. The trolls dispatched new siege cars to attack the city wall.
However, this time he did not lean to the place where he fought. The entire Black Rock City wall was very long, and the battle was only a part close to the city gate. After all, if the attack range was divided too scattered, it would be difficult for the siege trolls to concentrate their strength together.
Xu Yue found a relatively hidden position, took out a bottle of light blue potion and drank it. Suddenly, his figure gradually became transparent, and disappeared completely in a short while. Although outsiders could no longer see him, when he looked at his body, he only felt that his figure was blurred, not the kind that became completely transparent.
After finding a city wall with few guards and no trolls attacks, he activated the spell "Slow-down Technique" on a newly purchased magic ring, and then jumped outside the city, and his body fell outside the city wall like feathers.
