Chapter 21
This is not an amazing martial arts skill, but just a healing skill, one of the magicians' special skills. The one the princess used might be better than the magician's, because the white light flashed for a long time like a light bulb.
Healing and knights, neither of them is surprising, but when they are combined, it is interesting. A knight can actually use healing! A melee system uses the skills of the magic system. What is this? The two lines that should be parallel are actually communicating? Magic and martial arts? Knights have high defense and long blood, and they can replenish their own blood.
No matter how funny it sounds, the fact is right in front of us. If someone tells me that mammoths can actually climb trees, I will nod my head in agreement. Nothing is impossible. Knights can all perform healing spells, so can't mammoths climb a tree and pick two peaches to taste?
"Am I seeing this right? When will the knight be able to use healing magic? I've been training for so long but this is the first time I know this. Is it because I don't know how to train? Or are all elven knights special?" Brother Yun looked at the princess in surprise, blinking his eyes non-stop, his head probably almost turned into paste. This beautiful knight is not only of a high level, but also has the skills of a mage, which has dealt a heavy blow to Brother Yun's confidence.
"Is it related to that sword? No way? A weapon with hidden skills!" The eldest sister-in-law reacted faster and immediately thought of the Elven War Song. Alienation, God knows what other strange functions that sword has. The elder sister was still in a daze, and her mind had not yet come to a turn.
"It's possible. Come, my dear, let me take another look at the sword. Good girl..." I thought it might be the sword, so I prepared to identify it again. The princess pulled out the sword and put it away several times, staring at her hands in surprise. After thinking for a while, she seemed to understand something and turned to give me a blank look.
"My dear, it has nothing to do with the Elven War Song, it's this treasure." After the princess said that, she threw a golden object to me. I caught it and looked down, and it turned out to be the "super white" ring - Hymn of Life.
"So this is how this ring is used? What a strange design." I put on the Anthem of Life and felt the skill tree, and found a new skill called Powerful Healing. I tried to put two on myself, and the white light flashed again. Hmm, it felt good, and all the wounds from my sister's beating were gone. What a good thing, it really reduces swelling and relieves pain, and it is a must-have ring for leveling at home.
"Is there really such a thing? Let me see it." My sister and Brother Yun and his wife all squeezed over and quickly snatched the ring away. They all wanted to experience the "pleasure" of casting a healing spell themselves. Usually, they only watched the mage cast it, but this time they had the chance and wanted to experience it themselves. Something new.
"I told you, there can't be such a rubbish ring, look at it, it's super-quality." My sister's hindsight was loud and clear. Because we never thought that the ring would add new skills, we didn't even think about the skill tree at the beginning. If the princess hadn't wanted to use the knight skills, we don't know when this function would be discovered.
After playing around for a while, everyone was saying it was interesting. The update of "Magic Flag" was really weird. First, the enhancement became alienation, and the sword became a long sword. Then a strange ring appeared that could actually use healing. It was really strange. It seemed that a lot of new things were added.
I remember a fortune teller once said that this year will be a lucky year for me, and both good luck and bad luck will follow one after another. Now I really admire his crow's mouth, because what he said was so accurate.
On a sunny afternoon, I sat in the spacious and bright lobby, accompanied by a beautiful woman, holding a cup of cheap coffee in my hand, and enjoying the breeze. It was so comfortable. Of course, if I could find a chair and get rid of the four gunpowder guns pointing at my head, I would be more comfortable. I was so lucky. I just wanted to drink a cup of free coffee, but I was unlucky enough to encounter a bank robbery. Oh, oh, oh, why is buying lottery tickets not so good? I really want to sigh to the sky, I am so unlucky...
This morning, just after I got to work, I was picked up by the Human Resources Department and asked to help them recruit people at the Talent Center. In fact, it was just hard work like putting up signs and moving things. The director gave me a written order and I followed him there.
After working all morning, I earned a huge lunch box at noon, which made me very happy. When I looked up after lunch, I accidentally saw a bank across the street. Because banks now provide free drinks and newspapers, I wanted to go there on a whim. It was lunch break, so I said hello to my colleagues and walked in.
All this was normal, but after I shamelessly poured the third cup of coffee, I offended someone and got my retribution. Oh, it wasn't the kind of thing where I got struck by lightning in broad daylight, I wasn't that "sinful" yet.
Following the sound of footsteps, four cool men in abstract styles rushed in from the bank door. One wore long stockings with jumpers, one wore a mask and sunglasses, and the other two wore faded cartoon masks - Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong. They were dressed very "traditionally" and professionally, and they all held retro gunpowder guns in their hands - if steel pipes wrapped in tape can be called guns.
Four people blocked the door, smashed a chandelier with great fanfare, to prove that the things in their hands were still usable, and then shouted a standard phrase to identify themselves: "Everyone squat and don't move! Robbery!" After a short silence, the "extras" on the scene cooperated with various tones to add to the effect of the scene. People of all kinds ran around, trying to find a safe place to hide. The most outrageous one was a middle-aged man in his forties, holding a small potted plant and squatting in the corner. His fat head couldn't even cover half of the sapling in his hand. Playing a trick of blinding the eyes? Did he think he was a Japanese raccoon cat? Look, he was kicked by the "stocking head" robber.
The four robbers were thrown into confusion by the chaotic crowd. It took a lot of effort and a few shots to break the glass before they drove the crowd aside and squatted. Well, it turned out that those shots were aimed at people, but the accuracy of the "steel pipe" was a bit problematic. It was "handmade", so it was inevitable that it was rough.
After I figured out the occupations of these four people, I obediently took my coffee cup and sat down by the designated wall. A good man never suffers a loss in front of him. Even if the weapons in the hands of these four people are simple, they are still hot weapons, and they can kill people if they are hit. I am unarmed. No matter how strong my sense of justice is, I can't charge with a coffee cup, right? If I want to be a hero, I have to save my life first.
In China today, bank robbery is recognized as the profession with the highest failure rate. The success rate is less than 1%. Even the number of "practitioners" who can step out of the bank door again is pitiful. They basically go in vertically and come out horizontally. China's special police are not as fancy as those shown on TV. Most of the robbers who are blocked are shot on the spot. Therefore, the "death rate" of the profession of "bank robber" has always remained high. Those who dare to rob banks are either desperate or rookies who have just entered the underworld.
Looking at the four people who were "struggling" with the bulletproof glass, I couldn't help but shake my head. What a typical rookie. They failed to blow it up twice. What kind of explosives did they use? They rushed in without any division of labor and swarmed to control the hostages first before thinking of blowing up the counter. You think the police are on holiday, so they are slow to come?
"You look so strange, aren't you scared?" A big-eyed beauty squatting beside me couldn't help but ask in a low voice out of curiosity when she saw me sitting there leisurely sipping coffee. I thought to myself, is this person scared silly?
"What are you afraid of? As long as you stay still, nothing will happen to you. Once the SWAT arrives, none of those four idiots will be able to escape." I looked at the beautiful woman next to me. Well, she was very beautiful, with an oval face, willow-shaped eyebrows, and a pair of small glasses on her big watery eyes. Her skin was fair with a hint of pink, which made her look very petite, on the same level as my sister.
"You sound like you are very experienced. Do you encounter this kind of thing often?" The beautiful girl looked very nervous and kept stealing glances at the robbers like a frightened kitten.
"No, I've only snatched it twice before, so I have some experience." I answered seriously in a low voice. Yes, I have snatched it before, but it was in the simulation software of Counter-Strike. Seeing her cute look, I couldn't help but tease her a few words, and relieve the psychological pressure by the way . It would be a lie to say that I was not nervous at all. My palms were sweaty.
"Nonsense." The little beauty rolled her eyes at me, looking very playful. This action is quite familiar, and the princess in "Magic Flag" seems to do it often.
"What's your name?" I asked in a low voice. The police had already arrived, and the police lights and sirens were flashing in front of the bank.
"My name is Guan Xin." The beautiful girl looked at me hesitantly, but finally said it. Did she think I was a pervert? The next step was to ask for my phone number and measurements? Although I really wanted to, the situation was not right, so I had to be a gentleman.
"Okay, Guan Xin, the police are here. Pay attention and don't move around. It will irritate the robbers. Also, don't scream. It will irritate me. Do you understand?" I whispered to her. Guan Xin smiled and nodded in agreement. It will be easy when the police come. They will probably use negotiations to arrange special police. There are too many hostages here, so they won't rush in directly.
"Sun Wukong" looked at the door, ran back in panic, and started a heated discussion with Silk|Stocking Head and the others. The police outside the door also started shouting, and they really wanted to negotiate. Silk|Stocking Head seemed to be the leader. He grabbed an aunt as a shield and ran behind the stone pillar by the door, shouting loudly at the police's loudspeaker. What do you mean by idiot? Are you afraid that people can't remember your voice? The police who record the criminal's voiceprint will laugh until they have cramps. If the voiceprint is recorded, even if the criminal escapes successfully by chance, it will be easy to catch him with the current technology.
Stocking Head discussed with several other people and finally agreed to release some hostages first. Since the counter was not blown up just now, these bastards actually asked the police to prepare 10 million in cash and a car. What kind of "quality" is this? The "robbers" actually became "kidnappers".
Maybe I looked too "cool" holding the coffee cup, so I was called out by the Silk|Stocking Heads and a few others, and the beautiful Guan Xin happened to be among them. We were pointed at with guns and sat on the ground on the other side, and Guan Xin naturally sat next to me. We might be the first group of hostages to be released.
More than an hour later, the police informed them that the money and the car were ready and asked them to release the people. It was "Sun Wukong" who went out to check and came back with a box of money. He excitedly told Silk|Socks that there was still a lot of money outside and they succeeded.
I have carefully observed the surroundings and noticed that there were spy probes at the two ventilation ducts and the security door inside. The special police have sneaked in. Now as long as the number of hostages is reduced to a certain level, they will dare to attack. The scene of carrying a gun and dragging a hostage around the world can only be seen in Hollywood blockbusters. It doesn't matter if a few hostages are injured or killed. Real police will use the smallest casualties to exchange for the best results.
The stockings finally started to release the hostages. I was surprised to find that we were the unlucky ones who were left behind as amulets. The people over there were the ones who were actually released. This would be good now. With just a few people, it would be very convenient for the SWAT to catch them. Those four idiots still didn't understand that once the hostages over there were safe, they would be "blessed".
"Guan Xin, no matter what happens, hide behind me." I whispered to the beautiful girl. Guan Xin pulled my clothes and nodded nervously. There were five hostages, and she was the only woman. I was the one who protected her. Now it was up to the special police to see how they would deal with her.
After releasing the hostages, Stocking-Head pointed a gun at us. Before we started to move, several things that looked like cans flew under our feet.
Shit! Instantaneous death bullet! I saw this thing in my father's study. We were chatting there. This thing and a stack of documents were placed on the desk. I don't know how my third brother Zhuangsu made it go off. As a result, several people fainted for two days. After waking up, they were beaten by my father. Later, I learned that it was a new police equipment sample that my father wanted to approve. One was enough at the beginning, and this time there were five or six at once. I only had time to protect Guan Xin behind me. The last feeling was hugging a soft body, smelling delicious. Then, I was knocked unconscious. Ahem! It was embarrassing.
I don't know if this one was an improved product or if I had been through it once before and had developed resistance, but I was only unconscious for half a day this time. A total of nine people were knocked unconscious, and after they came out, four were put in the police car and five were put in the ambulance. Wang Zuo, who picked me up, said that I was unconscious but still hugged the beauty like a pervert, and he laughed at me for a long time. After returning to the company, I received a red envelope for no reason, saying that it was a reward for bravery. What did I do for bravery? How was it brave? Just take a few bullets to kill me? I was confused.
My colleagues were all very curious. The probability of encountering a robbery at a bank is lower than that of winning the sports lottery. They were still "passionate" for several days and insisted that I talk about my feelings. Damn, how can I feel when I was so shocked? The good thing about this incident, besides the red envelope, is that I met the beautiful girl Guan Xin. I just don't know if we will meet again. I really regret not asking for her phone number. Tsk, it's not easy to be a gentleman.
It's been so noisy these days that I don't have much time to play "Magic Flag". After a few days, it was finally quiet, and I quietly connected to it in the office. It was a little early, and there were not many people in the village. After finishing my routine work, I found that the princess was not online either, so I took enough medicine and prepared to go to the harbor to stroll around and practice mammoth.
I was walking towards the teleport station and just as I turned into the woods, I heard a bowstring sound behind me and a sharp arrow shot through the air. I ducked and dodged with my agility. The system also prompted: You are being attacked by an unknown player!
