At this moment, an ice wall suddenly appeared out of thin air in the trajectory of the [Flame Blast]. The gigantic fireball blasted onto the ice wall that was chilling to the bone. Sparks flew in all directions, and the sparks that flew out burned Brando's servants, causing them to wail like ghosts and howl like wolves as they burned from the heat.
For a moment, the entire lobby of the inn was in chaos. Actually, when both sides started arguing, some of the cowardly fellows had already left, but there were still many who wanted to see Brando suffer. In the end, they were almost caught in the crossfire.
Some crashed into the door, and some jumped through the window. After a few seconds, other than the bitter innkeeper and the person in question, everyone left in a hubbub.
Old man Norton had his reasons for taking action at this time. At first, the old man wanted to smooth things over. After all, the mages of Stormwind City were inextricably linked to the nobles, and it would not be good to make things too awkward. Unlike the holy land of human mages in the Dalajan, which purely studied magic, the mages of Stormwind City usually worked in Stormwind City.
Old man Norton was a member of the Royal Family's mage team, but seeing that Brando had already surpassed Zosazo to the point of threatening death, Old man Norton had already made up his mind. Even if Duque did not take action, he would take care of Phame Brando.
He didn't expect Brando to say that he wanted to kill his apprentice right in front of him. This was like a slap to his face. He was going to make a move, but he didn't expect Duke, this so-called apprentice, to know a godly skill like [Calm and Composed] that could be called a bug.
While he was stunned, he almost got into trouble.
If he, Norton, and Duque really killed Brando, it would be a huge incident that would shock the entire kingdom.
He had no choice but to help Brando block the fireball.
Seeing Duque suddenly turn his head and shoot a murderous glare at him, Old man Norton could not help but smile bitterly. This kid actually hates me.
Just as Norton was about to say something, the guards of the Northshire Abbey arrived. The one leading them was Vice-Captain Virie. What was surprising was that there were four guards behind him carrying a simple stretcher.
Without a word, Virie lifted the cloth covering the stretcher.
Brando, the useless noble, had never seen such a bloody and horrifying corpse before.
Looking at the blood-red leg bones that had been gnawed to the bone, Brando vomited on the spot.
Virie said, "I recognize this pair of expensive boots. He should be Sir Brando's man, right?"
Faced with Virie's interrogation, Brando finally finished vomiting and nodded. "Yes! He was Gascoe! My servant, a thief! "Brando pointed at Duque," He killed my servant! "
Duque sneered. Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Virie.
"That's impossible! Last night, when he left the Northshire Abbey, I met him. I advised him not to enter the Elven Forest at night, but he refused to listen … In the end … he was unlucky and was attacked by the Murlocs. "
Virie's vivid explanation surprised Duque.
At this time, he saw Virie turn his head and wink at him.
Duque was instantly amused. He immediately replied, "Yes! This Mr. Gascoe should have just arrived at the Northshire Abbey. Alone, unfamiliar with the world, so excited that he couldn't sleep at night. Then, he accidentally wandered into the Elven Forest and met the Murlocs. In the end, he was eaten by them. "
When Phame Brando heard this, his lungs almost exploded in anger.
Wasn't this the script he made up for Gascoe to execute?
Just like how no one could produce evidence to prove that he did it, with the patrol leader as a witness, he also could not prove that Duque did it.
Covering his face with one hand, Brando pointed at Duque with a trembling finger, "You … You … You …"
He said the word 'you' three times in a row, but could not continue. A thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately said, "Then what about the matter of him beating me up? The grave sin of insulting Saladin's bloodline … "
"Enough!" Old man Norton, who looked the most mature, suddenly let out an angry roar. The roar was filled with magic, and it almost shattered all the glass in the hotel lobby.
He picked up the dagger that was placed beside the corpse, his wrinkled hands trembling.
As an experienced old mage, how could he not recognize the [Cerebral Paralysis Poison] on it? This thing was specially used by thieves to attack mages. Mages who were stabbed by this thing would have a high chance of increasing the casting time required for a short period of time.
This thing was not easy to get!
Not only was it expensive, it was also extremely rare. Other than those very rich nobles who were very afraid of mages, normal thieves would not be able to get their hands on this thing!
Even if Norton was an idiot, he knew how vicious and sinister Brando was this time.
He was too careless, thinking that Brando would not dare to make a move on Duque because he was an apprentice of the Royal Magic Academy. Now it seemed that he had underestimated Brando's insanity. What happened last night was very clear. Brando sent this thief named Gascoe to assassinate Duque. For some reason, Duque escaped and killed Gascoe instead.
No wonder Duque was so angry.
Anyone who was almost killed would be so angry.
Old man Norton's prediction was basically correct. The only mistake he made was that he wasn't 'almost killed', but 'really killed'.
Old man Norton was also angry, he pointed at Brando's still intact face and said.
"Ah! There's a mosquito! "
How could Duque not know? He took a big stride forward, his left hand like a whirlwind.
"Slap — —" In front of Brando's servant, in front of the guards, in front of almost a hundred spectators who had been bullied by Brando, Duque slapped him again.
It could be clearly seen that a tooth near the right side of Brando's face had been slapped away. The bloodied tooth spun in the air for many, many times before it landed on the table with a clatter. After it landed on the table, it continued to spin around.
Looking at Norton, who was standing before him with a head full of white hair and beard that puffed up along with the strong waves of transcendence energy, Brando was completely dumbfounded. His once arrogant eyes were now filled with confusion and fear!
"Tell your elders, if I find out that you dare to make a move on Duque again, then wait for your castle to be burned down by me." After saying that, Norton left without looking back. When he left, he even put his hand on Duque's shoulder and dragged Duque away.
Almost as soon as he was out of the door, he said from afar, "By the way, your qualification as a mage apprentice this year has been cancelled. I am the chief examiner, I have the final say. Even if the Medivh came, he would not be able to change my mind! "
