Struggle in the Steam Age
Chapter 247: Assassinate
Since the airship had circumvented a little while flying over the mountains in order to avoid some powerful and extraordinary creatures, it was already six o'clock in the morning when it arrived at the Missoula City Airship Station, and the sky was completely bright.
After completing all the formalities and walking out of the airship station, Lawrence and the others saw a large number of people squeezed at the entrance of the airship station. They all looked anxiously at the entrance of the airship station. Some people were holding signs to welcome someone. .
"The number of people picking up passengers is a little too much." After finally squeezing out from the group of people blocking the door, Syfiel muttered, "Look, the group of people blocked the road and made people simply leave. Not coming."
"Because most of the people in the airship are rich and powerful, there will definitely be a group of people to greet them when they come out." Lawrence said, making a mouthful at the entrance of the airship station, and there happened to be a fat man there The walrus-like rich man brought a young woman into the carriage before calling after a group of servants who had almost blocked most of the street. "And these people may not be of high quality."
Unlike the airship station in the suburbs of New Kuaiji City, the airship station in Missoula was built on a riverside open space on the edge of the city because of its much smaller scale. Because airships, especially those airships that use high-pressure liquefied gas propeller engines, still have some noise in flight. So near the airship parking area is a huge park, and there is a sewage treatment plant next to it.
There is no public carriage or food and beverage place at the entrance of the airship parking area. After all, people who use airships as a means of transportation often do not need such services, so naturally there will be no people who provide these services. Therefore, if Lawrence and the others want to take a carriage to the train station, they can only find the rental carriage by walking down the road between the park and the sewage treatment plant for a hundred meters to a small square.
Fortunately, Lawrence and Syfiel did not reject this journey. They chatted and walked slowly towards the other side of the road. After Lawrence finished talking about the embarrassment that he got lost in the train station for the first time when he was just in college, Syfiel laughed very unlady, and then asked as if suddenly thinking of something: "I see you were in the airship just now. The parking lot has reserved train tickets. What time shall we take the train back?"
"Let me see." Lawrence said as he took out the old wallet that didn't match the current clothes, and then took out a handwritten note from it.
"It should be the afternoon—" Lawrence glanced at the note and put it into his wallet. Just as he was about to put the wallet in his pocket, he suddenly rushed out from the side with a low brim. The man snatched the wallet in his hand and rushed to the park nearby.
"You are here waiting for me, I'll go get my wallet back." Lawrence used the hand that was on his chest covered by his body to do something against Sefil when he was playing with two people. The agreed gesture. Then let the little doll on his shoulders, Nara, come down and stand beside Syfiel.
"I'll let Nora stay here with you, and I will be back soon." After saying that, Lawrence stepped away and chased in the direction where the thief had fled.
I don’t know if it’s because Lawrence himself took very little time to explain to Syfiel and did not delay the timing of the pursuit or the reason that the thief was not very professional. After Lawrence chased into the park, he quickly found the traces left by the thief. , And then chased after the trace left by that guy.
However, Lawrence did not immerse himself in chasing when he was tracking. While observing the surroundings, he took out the pistols from the space bag and put them into the two large pockets on the left and right sides of his windbreaker. Fortunately, the pockets of this travel trench coat are large enough, even if you put a pistol in it, it is difficult for others to see it.
After chasing out more than 100 meters, Lawrence finally saw the thief who was rushing in front of him through the gap in the bushes. The thief wore a poorly fitted coat and ran forward panting, clutching his wallet. From time to time, he looked back to see if Lawrence had caught up.
"Stop!" Lawrence exclaimed, raising his vigilance to the highest level. Because he obviously felt that the opponent was not running as hard as he could.
Sure enough, after running more than ten meters forward, Lawrence felt that there were people hiding in the surrounding bushes and trees. So the right hand he had put in his pocket suddenly grasped the pistol in his hand, and then directly adjusted the direction of the muzzle in his pocket and then pulled the trigger. At the same time, he quickly activated magic and added mage armor to himself.
"Bang, bang, bang--" As the surrounding circles burned black, even bullet holes with sparks appeared in the pockets of clothes. This time Lawrence got the magic steel core pistol from Zhu Yan and flew out of the barrel.
Fortunately, the pockets of the travel trench coat are large enough, and the marksmanship that Lawrence learned from Anne Oakley is also very good at blind shooting with this pistol at the waist. So after the six bullets were fired, the thief who had lured him over just fell directly to the ground. The four people with guns also fell out from behind or from the trees.
It’s just a little different from what Lawrence had expected before. The six bullets that were supposed to hit one shot were missed: a black figure leaning on a tree just now avoided hitting the heart by twisting his body at the very moment of the shot. Bullets in parts.
However, because Lawrence shot directly in his pocket when he was shooting, the man did not see the movement of his hand, so when he dodged it was a little slow and half a shot. As a result, the siege of Lawrence that should have been five ordinary gunners and an extraordinary one suddenly turned into a heads-up between the extraordinary and Lawrence whose arm was bruised by a bullet.
Lawrence did not relax his vigilance at this time, but quickly added a [camouflage technique] to himself before the six rounds of bullets were shot, and then pointed to the next one when the last bullet was shot. Hidden behind the tree, because he knew that this kind of injured lone wolf would be more difficult than the original state.
"Boom!" Just the second after Lawrence dodged, a black three-sided thorn was firmly nailed to the ground where Lawrence had just been. Lawrence, who was hiding behind the tree, looked at the long-handled hand thorns still "buzzing" on the roots of the tree with a slight shock, and felt a sense of escape in his heart.
Because he saw a lot of blood-red runes from this hand thorn~lightnovelpub.net~ and these runes looked carefully as if they were drawn with flowing fresh blood. Give him a very vague feeling.
If he hadn't avoided it in advance, he couldn't guarantee that the layer of [Mage Armor] on his body could block this, not to mention that the hand stab looked likely to carry some kind of poison or an evil curse.
Lawrence, who had survived the catastrophe, didn't stay in place stupidly, but moved quickly. Because he knows that as a spellcaster, it is very important to keep a distance from the enemy.
After discovering that Lawrence had avoided the blow he was supposed to hit, the man with a wounded arm immediately drew a rapier from the cane beside him and rushed towards him.
"So under this circumstance, when the enemy keeps expressing inconceivability or swearing after seeing you, it is purely a deduction of the family. How can there be any effort to speak out on the battlefield?" In this case, Lawrence should not only have not escaped. The kind of tension, but feel that I have countless slots to vomit.
The distance between Lawrence and the attacker was only twelve or three meters, so after avoiding the two bullets fired by the pistol that Lawrence drew from his left pocket, the opponent quickly forced him in front of him, and then suddenly ejected his grip. The sword's arm made the point of the sword pierce Lawrence's chest.
