Chapter 123: Rituals and Incidents
After careful reconnaissance from the perspective of the river crabs, more than 20 people were found nearby.
Rod took everyone to hide in a valley he had chosen in advance, and marked the location and direction of the targets for Captim on the map.
After thanking him, Captim “asked” Rod and Gray to stay where they were, and then immediately began to make arrangements, as if he wanted to surround the other party and catch them all in one fell swoop.
Rod just put two river crabs around to patrol and guard, waiting for the task to be completed and get the reward.
“Is this arrest force strong?”
Gray said, “They are not strong in fighting, but they have special methods to deal with wizards. If they target you, it will be difficult to escape.”
“Special method?” Rhodes thought for a while, “Magic Sealing Stone?”
Gray said, “Magic Sealing Stone is just used as handcuffs. Arrest operations like today usually use spells.”
“Spells?” Rhodes seemed to have seen this magic before. It is somewhat related to text magic, but the difference is huge.
”I remember it should be called ‘arrest spells’, which were specially improved for the Council by wizards who are proficient in spells.
As long as you know the location of the target of arrest, or the necessary path, and quietly set up this spell around, you can immediately make the opponent lose the ability to resist.”
The spell is absolute.
Many wizards who use spells like to say this sentence.
This is a very special magic. People in the spell must abide by the rules set by the spell.
For example, write “magicians are not allowed to leave” with special words around the target.
Then as long as the target area is surrounded and the spell is activated, the mages inside will be trapped.
Even worse, you can even write “people in the spell cannot use magic”, and when the opponent falls into the trap, you can easily defeat him with long-range magic from outside.
The charm of the spell is that even ordinary mages can trap the Ten Holy Mages.
Of course, such a powerful magic also has its limitations, the most obvious of which is that it takes a long time to activate, which far exceeds the chanting time of other magic.
So this kind of magic is suitable as a trap, but it is difficult to use on the spot in battle.
Rules such as “enterers die immediately” seem to be unable to take effect, and too complicated rules also have various restrictions.
Also, a certain degree of magic power is required to maintain the existence of the spell.
In short, this is not a magic that ordinary mages can use well.
When the Council team uses intelligence advantages and numbers, and uses specially improved spells together, it can produce quite strong effects.
This is also one of the reasons why they are looking for trouble with the dark guilds everywhere.
”Wait a minute.” Rhode suddenly asked, “You know so much, haven’t you been dealt with by the Council’s spells?”
”How is it possible? I haven’t reached that level yet.” Gray looked sympathetic, “I just learned about it by chance.”
”Oh~ Prepare for a rainy day?”
”You guy, have you corrected the common language?”
Gray couldn’t tell whether this person used the wrong word, or hinted that he would be dealt with by the Council’s spells sooner or later.
Rhodes frowned: “We seem to be guarded. They left people nearby to watch.”
Gray said: “Although it’s unpleasant, it’s a confidential mission. I’m a little curious about what they want to hide.”
Rhodes said: “I’m curious too, but I don’t want to cause trouble.”
He stared at the two members in charge of vigilance with his vision, so as not to be quietly trapped in the spell.
The two chatted casually, and after a long time, two places on the mountain suddenly lit up with magical lights.
Rows of strange words emerged out of thin air, forming two circular barriers.
Those two places were where the members of the Naked Bandage Man gathered.
Gray looked at the two barriers and gradually felt something was wrong: “Aren’t there three places?”
Boom!
The sound of the explosion sounded where the barrier should have been generated, followed by the light of the magic bullet and the shouts of the battle. “Something happened.” Rhode patted his butt and stood up, complaining that these people couldn’t even launch a sneak attack.
”Maybe they were discovered by the other party when they were setting up the spell, or they were disturbed by the people who just came over.” Gray stood up and prepared to help.
Rhode held him back: “Go firstFind the two guards.”
The two soldiers in white robes were not worried about the sound of the battle. Instead, they saw Rhode and Gray coming over and tightened their staffs:
”Don’t interfere with the law enforcement actions of the Council, the wizards of Fairy Tail.”
Gray asked: “Is there an accident over there? Are you sure you don’t need help?”
A soldier said stiffly: “Captain Capt. can solve it, don’t forget your additional terms.”
”Well, he doesn’t appreciate it, take a break.” Rhode pulled the worried Gray aside and waited.
The sound of the battle continued for a while, and a red flash bomb rose in the sky.
The faces of the two soldiers suddenly became ugly.
Gray asked: “Hey, whose signal is that?”
”It’s… it’s the captain’s urgent request for help.” A soldier gritted his teeth, “Please go with us to support the captain! ”
”Hey, you’re crazy, they can’t participate in the arrest operation!”
”But it’s a red signal, requiring the mobilization of as many combat forces as possible!”
So the two commands are stuck, right? This kind of important command doesn’t even have a priority distinction. Rhode feels that this broken Council will be finished sooner or later.
Rhode urged: “Please make a decision quickly, the other side has dozens of people.
Under normal circumstances, ordinary wizards like us should avoid a large number of wizards from the Dark Guild as soon as possible.”
”Rhode!” Gray obviously didn’t want to leave it alone.
The concern for the safety of those people made him fail to hear such an obvious subtext for a while.
This kid still gets excited occasionally.
The two soldiers hesitated: “Please lend us a hand! We will take the responsibility! ”
——The captain usually takes good care of them. A little more help is the best at this time.
Rod summoned two river crabs and carried four people to rush in the direction of the flare.
When they arrived, the wizards of the naked bandaged man had disappeared, and more than 30 soldiers in white robes fell to the ground.
”Captain!”
”What happened! ?”
Two soldiers jumped off the river crabs and helped Kaputin sit up.
”We were exposed. Zat suddenly attacked and knocked down two people. The spell failed to take effect…”
Keptin briefly explained the situation, then struggled to stand up, leaning on the staff to leave, “Quick! Go to support Depdi and the others. The Zat brothers are very strong. They will suffer!”
Gray moved his wrists: “You guys should rescue the wounded first, and let us go over there. ”
Captain was stunned: “The wizard of Fairy Tail, why…”
”Captain, we invited them here without permission.” The two soldiers were quite trustworthy.
Captain made a quick decision: “Please, please help my subordinates!”
”Leave it to us.” Gray flexed his wrist, “What do you think, Rod?”
”You said so, alas~” Rod sighed and urged Hexie to set off, complaining halfway, “Don’t take on such troublesome things casually.”
”But doesn’t your plan also include the situation where the two of us face the entire guild?”
”That’s the worst case… Let me say in advance, if I can’t win, I will run away.”
