Chapter 249 Old Ide's Loyalty
Except for Percy who had such eyesight, no other creature present could see these speeding servants.
"I thought they would just walk quietly, but I didn't expect them to be so fast!"
Isa, who had obviously investigated or monitored the old butler before, moved closer to Percy while avoiding the attacks of the servants.
Xiling, who was a little further away, had already begun casting summoning spells.
Before, her winter wolf pack was unable to do anything to Xiuman in mid-air, but facing these extremely fast servants, they should be able to play some blocking role.
Annie raised her small rapier, trying to block the invisible blades.
But she soon miscalculated.
A servant quickly approached the halfling paladin and with just one attack, he cut several holes in her maid uniform.
Fortunately, I have more than one defensive spell, otherwise it would not just be my clothes that would be cut.
Sami on the other side was in an even worse situation. He didn't have the spellcasting ability like Annie, and the flying sharp blade had left many scars on his body.
Perhaps the luckiest person is the middle-aged pervert Ruiwo.
Because he is not a professional and has little combat power, no enemy in the field targets Ruiwo.
Even though this knight still maintained the funny posture of being frozen.
The pressure on Xiuman's side was much greater. At least three servants came to the young city lord.
This forced him to release the energy shield again and increase the energy intensity to the maximum, forming a hemisphere as high as a person, covering the front of himself and Ivan.
But the gap behind still couldn't stop the servant's attack.
Alvin could see the shield energy behind Xiuman being constantly cut apart, and Xiuman's extremely depressed expression.
As for Ivan himself, his naked eyes were indeed unable to capture the afterimage of the servant's movement.
But this kid has a trick.
In his [conscious vision], he could see several light and shadow outlines different from Xuman and the others constantly moving closer and farther away.
What surprised him was that these young servants did not show any emotional reaction at all.
From Ivan's perspective, the whiteness was very creepy.
In any case, whenever the white outline approached, Alvin was able to adjust his position in time so that he could face the opponent's attack direction and raise the green stick in his hand.
As if they thought the pair of buzzing sticks were not easy to deal with, the servants consciously moved away and rushed towards Xuman who was easier to deal with nearby.
As a result, this gave Alvin the opportunity to attack.
Familiar pink spheres appeared in Ivan's hands. With just a thought, these magic spells with strange effects would rush towards the target in front of him.
"Wait! Lord Ivan!"
Isa, whose body had been cut off by the blade storm, shouted at Ivan amid the swirling black mist.
"Their bloodline abilities are exactly the same as Percy's... This, this means..."
“That’s right, Isa.
How come I didn't realize you had such a brain before...
These, like Percy, are all descendants of the old city lord!"
Under Xiuman's surprised eyes, old Ide's white hair fluttered again, as if mocking Xiuman's ignorance.
“At that time, Lord Xiuman was still too old to speak.
The old city lord is worried that his only son will not be able to resist the complicated conspiracies and intrigues of Huiyao City.
These people, including Percy, are all your options, my dear Lord Shuman.
Speaking of which, I personally helped the old city lord find the Abyss Seed."
He raised his hand, signaling the servants to continue the attack, and Old Ide told the gritting-teeth Shuman the secrets of the past.
“When you were still training in the Church of Tyre, these kids were already fighting for their lives on the battlefield;
But when you ignored the advice and insisted on learning the sorcerer, a profession that had long been eliminated, these children were already able to face enemies that were dozens of times their number alone.
You are so stupid, Human."
Several sharp blades slashed towards Xiuman's back again.
This time, his magic shield was exhausted and a bright red blood line was raised into the air.
"Shuman, haven't you always been curious about why Nield suddenly rioted?
Because I delivered to Tomba a message he could not refuse;
Haven't you always been puzzled by the early arrival of the royal capital nobles?
That’s right, it was me who arranged for the servants to deliver the secret letter to the royal capital.
Today I am the one who is telling you that the City Lord’s Mansion was invaded by Aiwen..."
"why?"
Xiuman's current appearance is very scary.
His eyes were red, and his hair, which had been neatly groomed before, fell down in front of his forehead.
The wound on his back was quite deep, leaving Xiuman with no strength to maintain his upright posture.
He leaned forward, his left arm holding the shield trembling slightly, and the energy sword in his other hand seemed to flicker due to his excitement.
"why?
Xiuman, I reminded you that the old city lord’s political strategy is the key to the steady development of Huiyao City!
As the mayor of the city, you should allow yourself to move among various forces instead of running to the city hall in a huff and becoming a municipal receptionist!
They also secretly build up armed forces and plan to declare war on the councillors and the royal capital!
Xiuman, this is the legacy of the continuous efforts of more than ten generations of the Huiyao family;
You can’t let your recklessness become someone else’s wealth in your generation!”
Old Ide became more and more excited as he spoke, and his old face began to turn red, like an old man with high blood pressure.
“Do you really think that the soldiers you secretly support can really resist the joint attack from these forces?
As soon as you start targeting one of the families, the others will rush over like sharks smelling blood...
Xiuman, your political sensitivity is far inferior to that of the old city lord—"
"Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!"
Ide turned his head angrily and stared at Ivan who was applauding him.
This dandy nobleman who could have died in the explosion of a powder keg is the biggest variable tonight.
“What do you want to do?
The ignorant and evil-minded Lord Ivan?"
"Ahaha! I was just about to praise you for being thoughtful, but you turned around and started cursing!"
Old Ide was very disgusted by this not-so-serious human being.
It was after Shuman started hanging out with this good-for-nothing knight that he began to have those unrealistic thoughts.
In Old Ide's eyes, Ivan and that group of second-generation rich kids were the culprits who turned Shuman from an obedient child into a rebellious and stupid person.
Clapping his hands, Ivan walked out of Shuman's energy shield.
"Old housekeeper, your loyalty to the Huiyao family surprises me.
They are so loyal that we need to kill Xiuman, tsk tsk tsk…"
"What do you know? You ignorant, useless sir!
After Xiuman dies, there will be someone more suitable to take over the position of city lord and come to strengthen the Huiyao family!"
"Oh? Really?
Is it Percy? I'm afraid Percy is no longer willing to follow your arrangements -
Ah - or are you talking about these children who have been deprived of their emotions by you?"
