After coming to this world, Roddy had already experienced two ways of "anti-magic". The first time was when he was exploring Elsen City. This city was sealed by the Enchantment of Time. At that time, because the enchantment collapsed, an "elemental vacuum" appeared in the city, causing all elemental spells to be unable to be released in the area.
At that time, Roddy was not as panicked about "anti-magic" as he was now. Because his level was not high at that time, his equipment was not strong, and he only relied on a short bow to explore the world. It did not matter if he had spells or not.
The other time was when he faced Bati some time ago. The "miracle" released by the priest Pan Da. Compared to the "elemental vacuum," the "anti-magic area" condensed by the power of the gods was much stronger. Except for magic, all other kinds of spells could not be released in the area.
At that time, Roddy did not panic too much because he had the help of five Dragons. Without spells, he could beat the enemy with his fists.
But now, standing alone in the enemy city, the feeling of suddenly losing 80% of his combat power was no less than stepping on a cliff. He clenched his teeth and tried to calm his breathing. Then he stood on a slightly flat bulge.
He did this because he needed to calm down.
Roddy could feel his thighs trembling slightly. Because of the momentary panic just now, his adrenaline secreted too much. He wiped his forehead and found that it was full of cold sweat.
Closing his eyes, Roddy took a few deep breaths and then closed the large number of information prompts in front of him. He looked up and climbed up again without hesitation. If he gave up when he encountered such a setback, then Roddy might as well go back to the Kingdom of Karen and wait for death.
Even without the bonus of equipment, his level was still there. His strength far beyond that of a normal human was enough for him to climb the tower without falling. But to be safe, it still took him nearly three minutes to climb to the top.
Quietly standing outside the window on the top floor, Roddy could hear intermittent voices coming from inside. After confirming that there was no one around, he hid in the shadows and quietly looked over.
A few figures were busy in the dark room. The first thing Roddy saw were six tall warriors in armor with short swords hanging from their waists standing by the door. They were obviously highly skilled guards.
In the middle of the room were two slender women from the Thukk Tribe.
Roddy had learned about the Tuk Tribe's clothing tradition from Evelyn. The woman with the complicated neckline was obviously the superior, and the one with the plain neckline was the subordinate. The room was very spacious, but it was filled with stacks of spherical objects. Roddy squinted his eyes and observed for a moment. He realized that these balls were actually cannonballs used by catapults!
It was about the size of a coconut, but it was obviously not a heavy stone. The subordinate didn't have to exert much effort to carry it. After putting it on the ground, the superior wearing a long robe took out a strange fragment from a wooden box and carefully placed it into the notch of the cannonball. Then, she softly chanted an incantation …
Roddy frowned at this scene. His heart was full of doubts. Could this be the "anti-magic weapon" that Jeremy mentioned?
If it was so easy to create an anti-magic effect in an area, then wouldn't it be a little too easy?
The "miracle" that Priest Pan Da released was something that had not appeared in the continent for a long time, but it was actually "mass produced" here. Roddy absolutely did not think that "anti-magic" was something that could be achieved with such a low threshold.
There were too many speculations in his heart. He even thought of jumping in and snatching a piece back to study. However, when he stretched out his hand to pull his bow, Roddy reluctantly gave up on this idea. There was no other reason. This bow was made by Lord Victor. In order to strengthen its power, the materials used were all of the highest quality. Therefore, the weight of a hard pull was very high. Roddy could only use it with the support of a magic circle … Now that the magic circle on this superb short bow was ineffective under the anti-magic effect, not to mention shooting, Roddy could not even pull it!
This situation was probably something that even Lord Victor did not expect. In order to move more conveniently, Roddy did not carry any other weapons. Using the dagger on the side of his boots to fight with six fully armored warriors … was obviously not a wise move.
Most of the skills of Roddy's "witcher" profession consumed Stamina, so his skills were not too affected by the "anti-magic" effect. However, with the equipment ineffective and the identity of the two Tuk women mysterious, Roddy would not act rashly at this time.
His original purpose of coming here was to investigate. Now that he had found his target, he might as well start to keep watch. Repetitive work was very tiring. The two Tuk women worked for an hour before they finally stopped to rest. Faint voices of conversation drifted into his ears.
"Be careful … don't … touch the ground."
"The quantity is enough …"
The language used by the two women was somewhat different from Lassman's. Their accent was also very strange. Roddy could only vaguely make out what they were saying. After that, he heard the sound of the door opening. The two women left. The guards locked the wooden box and then continued to carry out their task.
When he heard someone coming to the window, he quickly changed his angle and hid. After holding his breath for a few minutes, the two Tuk women had already left the tower and walked away along the alley under the escort of the servants.
The anti-magic effect was still there. Roddy thought for a moment and did not go to steal the things in the house. Instead, he jumped down from the tower. The moment he left the anti-magic field, all the magic circles and energy in his equipment resumed operation. It was no exaggeration to say that he felt as if he had taken off some heavy shackles. Even breathing was a lot easier.
Lightly landing on a roof, Roddy silently followed the team that was leaving. Perhaps because this was the core area, there were only four servants following the two of them. The woman walking in the middle had a strong aura, and all the soldiers along the way bowed to her.
The subordinate next to her said goodbye halfway. It seemed that because her position was not high, she did not have any servants following her. The torches on both sides vaguely illuminated the road. Occasionally, there were soldiers passing by. This was the safest area in La Xia City. She never thought that there would be any accidents at this time.
"Huff."
A strange muffled sound made her stop. She frowned and looked to the right. She found that there was a shaking arrow on the stone wall.
Suddenly, she realized something. When she was about to shout, she felt a pain in her neck, and then everything in front of her was plunged into darkness.
Roddy pulled out the arrow and put it back into the quiver. The paralyzed Tuk woman happened to lean on his back. She was tightly bound by magic tentacles. In order to prevent her from waking up, he even covered her mouth tightly.
After confirming that no one was around, Roddy took a step forward and quickly disappeared into the darkness with the woman.
