Chapter 595

"Nel?"

"Sorry, Cotton."

Nell, who has always been known for his loyalty and rigidity, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, smiled slightly:

"I'm also an undercover agent."

143. Trick

"Undercover...undercover?"

The blade of magic power pierced the flesh and blood, and the burned area emitted a nauseating stench. The violent and unfamiliar magic power poured into the body, instantly disrupting the flow of magic power in Cotton's body.

He coughed out bright red blood, and the vitality in his body quickly passed away, but the disbelief still remained on his face.

Because the resolute face with the Chinese character reflected in his eyes at this moment is his most trusted subordinate, the deputy who has followed him for so many years, and his most solid right-hand man.

Vice Captain, Nell.

Even after completing such a confidential matter, he never doubted him.

Therefore, the words "undercover" coming out of Nell's mouth at this moment seemed so dramatic and painful.

Even Senior, who was supposed to be waiting for death, was stunned. He had thought that since the damn Slav could contact him in this situation, he might have some back-up plan, but he didn't expect it. …

This Nell with thick eyebrows and big eyes is actually an undercover agent?

He is actually an undercover agent? Who would have thought that he was actually an undercover agent?

For a moment, Senior felt that he was not very professional when it came to being an undercover agent, and could only be considered a layman.

"Why... why?"

Cotton's expression was distorted and he asked:

"Nel, our friendship for so many years has ended up being... betrayed by you?"

"This is not a betrayal, Cotton."

Nell sighed and said with complicated eyes:

"I've been a Campbell since the beginning."

"At first, Campbell?"

Cotton's pupils shrank suddenly, and he was obviously aware of the current hostile relationship between the Campbell family and the local council.

"Yes, I only became your partner when I joined the Royal Corps of Magicians, but before that, when I was studying at St. Mary's College, I had already followed Duke Campbell, who was also a student at the time."

Nell recalled those long-ago years and still felt extremely sad. How many people and geniuses were impressed by the aura of the Lion King at that time?

"The Duke saved my life, but few people know about it, and of course, you don't know either."

"So that's why the council didn't suspect you?" Cotton gritted his teeth.

"Why do they doubt me? I haven't had any contact with the Duke's Palace for more than ten years."

Nell took out the dragon-slaying sword badge that symbolized the Campbell family and said with a smile:

"Actually, I didn't expect that I would be activated one day. I originally thought that the Duke no longer needed me."

"There has been no contact for ten years, and yet they just called you, and you came back like a dog?" Cotton sneered, scorning Nell's stupid loyalty.

"Of course, but I did this not just because of my status as an undercover agent." Nell looked into Cotton's eyes and whispered.

"Isn't it because of being an undercover agent?"

Cotton was stunned: "That's..."

"You've gone too far, Captain."

Nell pulled the sharp blade out of Cotton's body, and blood spurted out instantly, staining the surrounding ground red.

Nell turned around and looked around. Due to the explosion just now, the entire middle of the road was in a mess. Residents in the surrounding blocks had probably been awakened by such a big movement, but the surroundings were still quiet.

Those ordinary people who have become accustomed to living a humble life in the lower city do not even have the courage to follow their curiosity and secretly watch at this time.

"Really, it's too much."

"You...hehe, I didn't expect you to be the same idiot as that Senior, bastard!"

Cotton's expression became more ferocious because of the pain, but as several scrolls floated around him, the violent magic released instantly tore the ground around Nell.

But Nell had already quickly avoided it as expected.

He dispersed the sharp blade, flashed to Senior, grabbed his hand, and helped him guide the flow of magic power to quickly recover from his injuries.

"And you, Senior, you really didn't disappoint me, you did even better than I imagined."

"you……"

Senior's eyes widened and he quickly reacted:

"Are you the one who passed me the contact information?"

"Yes, I originally thought that you would cause some trouble and I would look for an opportunity, but I didn't expect that you would completely crush their plan all by yourself."

Nell patted Senior on the shoulder vigorously: "I really saw you right!"

"Vice Captain Nell..."

Senior was so moved that his nose felt sore. In this situation, Nell's fierce face that could scare a child to tears didn't seem so scary.

"Can you still move?"

"Of course, the injury has recovered a lot!"

Senior stood up suddenly, his already desperate heart burning with hope again.

"You... do you think that just the two of you can change the outcome?"

But at this moment, Cotton stood up unsteadily.

His wounds were still flowing with blood, and the charred injuries continued to worsen, and the magic power poured into him continued to tear his body apart.

But as several magical devices were activated and slowly floated up, his injuries were quickly stabilized.

Nel's eyes narrowed. Magicians are indeed physically fragile, but experienced and powerful magicians are difficult to kill when they have a large number of magic tools.

The blow he just made wasn't because he didn't want to hit his vitals, but because Cotton's vitals were protected by magic devices, and even a sneak attack couldn't kill him with one blow.

"As expected of Cotton, is it really not that easy to solve?"

Nell shook his head, smiled bitterly, and looked aside:

"Senior, are you scared?"

"Ha, at this time, why are you talking about whether you are afraid or not?"

Senior glanced around. After the chaos just now, the other magicians also reacted one by one. Under Cotton's command, they surrounded the place again.

The hope that Senior had just raised could only be extinguished in the face of reality.

However, the difference this time was that as long as he stood next to this guy who was annoying before but now felt extremely reliable, he didn't feel so fearful and desperate.

It's just a matter of death.

"Well, Cotton is not a vegetarian. In this case, I can only show off my unique skills that I have never shown to outsiders before!"

Nell said slowly with a heavy tone.

As soon as Nell said this, the expressions of both the magicians surrounding the place and Cotton became serious.

After all, it was Nell who had always been rigid and rigorous. The trick he was talking about must be an extremely terrifying move, and he might even have to pull a few people on his back before he died.

Thinking of this, everyone hesitated, unwilling to be the unlucky guy who showed up.

And in the few seconds when these people hesitated, Nell had already fully displayed his unique skill.

"Secrets... Space transfer!"

Nell took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly. In an instant, a huge amount of magic power spurted out. After Nell's long-prepared high-speed chant, the space behind the two people suddenly began to distort.

"ha?"

However, Senior couldn't react for a while.

Not only him, but also others could not react.

The trick Nell was talking about turned out to be... space transfer magic?

Nell's mouth twisted: "I have known for a long time that my identity would be exposed, so from the moment I joined the Royal Magician Corps, I have been practicing space transfer magic in secret. The entire Magician Group, I am afraid, has no There is no one who can cast space transfer magic faster than me...and now, this power finally has a use!"

"That is to say..."

Senior slowly turned his head and looked at Nell, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes: "What you call the ultimate trick is to escape?"

"if not?"

Nell looked matter-of-fact: "Two against nine, do you think I'm stupid?"

"..."

"Don't be stunned, silly boy, Run!"

In a matter of seconds, Nel pushed Senior into the space channel, and then with lightning speed, he jumped in before anyone could react.

Senior was finally convinced again before the intense dizziness of space transfer came.

This guy is indeed an undercover agent.

…

…

"Cough... cough cough..."

At an unknown location, Senior looked up and looked around after calming down the dizziness and vomiting caused by the intense space transfer.

This seemed to be somewhere along the river. A slightly cold river breeze was blowing on the river, and the light mist made it difficult for him to see the place farther away.

Not far away, Nel's tall figure stood on the river bank, giving people an inexplicable sense of security.

"Vice Captain Nell, you..."

boom.

Before Senior finished speaking, he saw Nell's body shaking and falling limply to the ground.

His face suddenly turned pale, and he quickly flew over and helped Nell.

"Are you OK."

"It's okay...at least"

Nell smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "That old guy Cotton is still as powerful as ever."

Senior lowered his head and saw that Nell's abdomen had been penetrated by a magic at some point, as if to repay Nell for the sneak attack just now.

Fortunately, it's not life-threatening.

Senior breathed a sigh of relief.

After some busy work, the two found a place to hide, lit a bonfire, and recovered their strength.

"Speaking of which, is it really okay?"

Senior, who was playing with firewood with a stick, asked seemingly casually.

"What?"

"Escape. Unlike me, Vice Captain Nell's order should be to prevent Cotton and others from assassinating the eldest prince. We just escaped like this, but they still have the power to assassinate him."

Senior was still feeling emotional about what happened tonight.

One unexpected thing happened after another, making him a little numb now.

But...it turns out that the Slav named Bruce is from Duke Campbell's side? No wonder he is so rich.

"No problem, right? If you run away like this before completing the mission, won't the Campbell family blame you?"

"hehe……"

Nell, who listened to Senior's chatter for a long time, looked at the broken ceiling of this abandoned house and suddenly showed a strange smile:

"Boy, who said my mission failed?"
