Seeing that Beta was forced to leave, Uther turned back and held Sophia's arm. He could feel his wife's body trembling, and his heart was filled with regret. He felt that because of him, his wife had almost died. Anyone would inevitably feel fear in the face of death, let alone a "weak" woman. Uther shifted his gaze to Beta, who was in the thick fog not far away. His eyes became more and more sinister. He wanted to kill this person who almost killed his wife no matter what. He wanted to kill him because of the gold mine, but now it was because of his wife. He would never let go of anyone who hurt his wife.
At this moment, Sophia covered her face with her hands, feeling extremely ashamed. The trembling joy she felt just now disappeared in a flash, as if it was just an illusion. But as a woman who had been married for nearly 20 years, she knew all too well what this feeling was all about. It was definitely not an illusion. But the more it was like this, the more she hated herself. She loved her husband so much, but why would she have such … thoughts about an outsider?
Liang Lidong did not know what was going on in Sophia's mind at this moment. He shifted his gaze to the balcony on the second floor, where Gavin had put his longbow behind his back. His left hand faintly made a few gestures to Liang Lidong.
Liang Lidong clicked his tongue. If it were not for this gesture, he would definitely kill this fatty.
He glared at Gavin, and the fatty's face showed some slight embarrassment. Liang Lidong immediately ran towards the exit of the castle, but he quickly turned a corner and hid in the small forest by the side of the road. A wave of arrows covered the entire small forest. Liang Lidong hid behind a big tree and listened to the sound of the arrows passing by his ears.
Because he was in the small forest, the strong wind blew here, and the wind was much lower. At this time, the thick fog of the [Mist Manipulation] skill barely hid his body. Through the thick fog and the gaps between the branches and leaves, Liang Dongdong looked at the two magical girls on the top of the castle and smiled. Then, above their heads, a scroll suddenly fell. When it was about six feet above their heads, the scroll turned into several lightning bolts and struck down.
The blinding lightning caused the two young sorceresses to close their eyes, and the wind magic was interrupted. This sudden attack should have killed the two of them, but just as the lightning was about to hit them, a pink transparent magic wall appeared above their heads. The lightning struck the wall, and electric snakes wrapped around it. They were safe and sound under the magic wall.
But even so, the two girls looked at the exaggerated electric current and the reverberations above their heads, and their faces turned pale.
Seeing that Joan's aerial attack did not succeed, Liang Lidong was not surprised. Any mage with a normal IQ would cast a protective spell on themselves before concentrating on casting a spell. But even so, Liang Lidong's purpose had been achieved. Due to the interruption of the wind-elemental magic, Mist Manipulation finally took effect. The white mist quickly enveloped the entire castle, and it only took a few seconds.
Because of the attack from the sky, the two magical girls did not dare to move.
Uther had experienced this Bloodline Magic before. He knew how powerful it was, so he already had a plan. If his daughter and the black-robed girl failed, then he would use the last and most effective method. He took two steps back to protect his wife, who seemed to be in a daze. He looked around cautiously, then took out a magic tablet from his pocket and rubbed it a few times.
Immediately afterward, massive mana fluctuations rose from the ground, and a massive magic barrier appeared around the castle, enveloping the entire castle.
"Magic array?"
Liang Lidong was stunned for a moment. Then, he felt the fog produced by Mist Manipulation slowly descend and accumulate. It seemed to be compressed.
The castle's magic array was strengthened … Liang Lidong clicked his tongue. He remembered that half a year ago, when they worked together to deal with Karl, Karl also activated the magic array, but it did not have such an effect at that time. But now it did. It seemed that the mayor had been planning to deal with him since at least half a year ago. Now that he finally had an opportunity, he had to seize it.
However, although the effect of the magic array was strengthened, it only completely suppressed the fog to about two meters below the ground. Liang Lidong was about 1.8 meters tall, so he could still hide in the fog.
Uther pulled his wife and ran into the front gate of the castle. Because they were professionals, and their levels were not low, they could see more than 20 meters even in the thick fog. After they entered the main hall, they immediately closed the gate. Then, they ran to the balcony on the second floor and looked down at the vast "sea of fog," their faces a bit gloomy.
"I thought that the strengthened magic array could completely suppress his Bloodline Magic, but I didn't expect that it could only do this. But I didn't expect this to be the most I could do. Isn't this no different from not being suppressed? "
Sophia, the mayor's wife, nodded absent-mindedly.
At this time, the group of archers had also returned to their positions as well as the forts and arrow towers. They drew their bows and aimed at the bottom of the castle, but because the ground was covered by the thick fog, they couldn't find their target at all.
Uther looked back and squatted down to check the wound on his wife's abdomen. Although it looked very deep, it did not hurt her internal organs. Because of Sophia's Bloodline of Dark Creatures, her body was much stronger than ordinary people. Now her wound had begun to scab, and with magic treatment, it would be completely healed in about ten hours.
Seeing that his wife was fine, Uther let out a sigh of relief. Then he noticed that his wife's expression was a bit strange, so he comforted her, "Sophia, I didn't protect you just now. Don't worry, it won't happen again."
Sophia forced a smile and said, "It's okay. I'm not that weak."
But Uther felt that his wife was more and more frightened. Just as he was about to speak again, Barbara and the black-robed girl ran out from the stairs. Barbara took the lead and ran to Sophia. She looked down at Sophia's injury, then patted her Alps and let out a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness you're fine, Mother. Beta is too evil. He dared to hurt you."
"If we wanted to kill him, he would definitely fight back." Uther slammed the railing of the balcony. "But I didn't expect him to be so good at close combat. That swordsmanship must have been honed over and over again. When he attacked, there was no hesitation at all, and his murderous aura was terrifying. Many people have died under his sword."
Barbara sighed. "Kail once said that Master's sword skills are very good. I thought it was just flattery, but I didn't expect it to be true. "
Uther turned around and said to the sea of fog below, "Beta, now all the exits from the castle have been blocked by the magic array. Your Blood Magic is indeed very powerful, but any spell requires mental power, not to mention such a large-scale spell. We don't dare to go down to the fog to trouble you, but we can wait for your mental power to run out. By then, you still have no chance of winning. If you surrender now, I can keep my promise not to hurt you. "
Staying in the fog, Liang Lidong chuckled. The strengthening of the castle's magic array was indeed beyond his expectations. It had destroyed his first set of arrangements. Joan Of Arc took two scrolls. One was Crossed Lightning, and the other was Phase Shift. Originally, he had planned to use Phase Shift at a critical moment. After all, the distance of Phase Shift wasn't far, and it could only be used at the right time. But now, because of the magic suppression from the castle's magic array, even Blood Magic was suppressed to a rather ridiculous level, not to mention a regular spell like Phase Shift.
Although his first plan had failed, he still had a second plan. There was still about half an hour until midnight. He opened the status bar of the character map. It was marked that he only needed 4 more EXP to level up to Level Five.
He could still maintain Fog Riding for at least two more hours. As long as he stayed in the thick fog, he could leisurely wait until midnight.
Uther saw that there was no reply from below, so he waved his hand. Many arrows shot out from the arrow mounds of the fortress, but the castle was very large. The area covered by a hundred arrows was not even one percent of the area. Liang Lidong hid behind a big tree, sat down, and quietly waited for time to pass.
Uther let his wife go back to her room to dress her wounds, and he personally stared at the fog from the balcony, not moving.
For Uther, time passed very slowly, but for Liang Lidong, it passed very quickly. He even closed his eyes and rested for a while, which allowed his energy to recover a little. When he opened his eyes, a few big words were printed in the center of his retina: Character Level Up!
Character Level Five, Profession Module Unlocked. Please choose your future profession path:
1. Traditional Noble Module
2. Noble Scholar Module
3. War Lord Module
These three modules each had their own focus. Traditional Nobles focused on social skills. They had high Charisma, and it was easy to increase their favorability with NPCs. Noble Scholars had a large bonus in the acquisition of knowledge, and there was also a bonus in the area of magic. War Lord naturally strengthened the overall combat ability, and had an additional ability to raise the morale of the group.
Liang Lidong thought for a while, and without hesitation, chose the Noble Scholar Module.
System: Based on the module you chose, you will receive the following abilities:
Special Profession Ability: Internal Affairs (B), Introduction to Knowledge (A)
Special Profession Ability: Knighthood Knight (B)
System: Because you have reached Level Five, the bloodline magic Summon the Rain has been activated!
Any profession that reached Level Five could choose a profession module. To put it bluntly, it was a profession branch. The advantage of the Traditional Noble Module was Internal Affairs (A), Social Skills (B), Knighthood Knight (B), and had a strong advantage in governing territories and managing connections. The War Lord Module, on the other hand, strengthened the overall combat ability of the individual. Its abilities were Internal Affairs (C), All-Roundedness (B), Knighthood Knight (A), and Morale Surge (Halo). Because of the two skills, All-Roundedness and Knighthood Knight (A), the combat ability of the War Lord was quite good, and its group combat ability was comparable to that of the Saint Samurai.
The Noble Scholar Module, on the other hand, was relatively weak in the early stages, but it was quite strong in the later stages. The Introduction to Knowledge (A) ability not only allowed the holder to level up faster, but it was also very helpful for the understanding of laws. In addition, it had a bonus: the mental power consumption of all magic skills was reduced by 20%.
This was a pure late-stage skill, and it was of no help to the current situation that Liang Lidong was in. What could really help him out of his current predicament was the bloodline magic Summon the Rain.
Summon the Rain: You summon a rain cloud with yourself as the center. According to your will, it can be a drizzle or a downpour. Its effective coverage range is 100 + (level x 50) meters. This rain cloud is regarded as a natural phenomenon and cannot be dispelled by magic. If it is used at the same time as Summon the Wind, it can become a powerful storm. When you're in this heavy rain, you'll receive an additional bloodline spell, Rising Dragon.
Rising Dragon: You use the rain around you to summon a dragon-shaped water column to attack a specified target. If you are in the environment of Summon the Rain, you will summon two dragon-shaped water columns to attack the enemy at the same time, and the impact of each water dragon will be increased by an additional 30%. In addition, Rising Dragon is regarded as a magic-driven physical attack, and it is not affected by magic resistance.
Liang Lidong took a deep breath. Because of the Mist Rider skill, he already knew that the magic brought by the Cloud Dragon bloodline was definitely very strong, but when he saw the effect of Summon the Rain, he was still shocked. The effect was really too powerful.
Changing the weather was already a very strong spell, and he didn't expect that it could come with an additional offensive spell.
Liang Lidong laughed, stood up, and activated the 'Summon the Rain' skill without hesitation.
