However, this was just the beginning.
Countless Magic Rockets hit Runa's Magic Barrier and after countless bright fireworks exploded around him, a medium transport Magic Car arrived at the edge of the cliff.
This transport Magic Car seemed to be carrying a lot of cargo, so it was very heavy and it made loud rumbling sounds as it drove on the road.
When the transport Magic Car arrived at the edge of the cliff, Runa looked over and found that there were sixteen thick cylinders in the back of the Magic Car that looked like a beehive.
If this thing was taken apart, each cylinder looked like the Magic Bazookas the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's guards were using, but it was clearly several times bigger.
Sixteen of these stout cylinders were arranged in a fourteen-by-four pattern to form a square, which was placed diagonally on a shelf.
The transport Magic Car was at the edge of the cliff and these black cylinders were facing Runa who was floating above the beach.
Runa looked at the Magic Car and the sixteen black holes behind the cargo box, as a trace of unease appeared in his heart for the first time.
In the depths of these cylinders, it was like an evil dragon could be released at any time.
When Runa had this thought, there were three clear sounds that came from the New Flyer guards below. Then the sixteen Magic Rocket Launchers in the back of the transport Magic Car lit up with incomparably bright magic light.
"Hong!"
Although there were sixteen Magic Rockets that were fired from the sixteen Magic Rocket Launchers, because they were fired at the same time, there was a strong muffled sound.
Seeing the sixteen Magic Rockets that were much stronger than the Magic Rockets used by the guards, Runa's expression became very ugly.
He was certain that the power of these rockets was several times or even dozens of times greater than the previous ones.
If possible, the best way for him to deal with it was to immediately dodge.
But first, he had promised Xu Yi that he would face the attacks of the New Flyer guards. Second, these sixteen Magic Rockets were very fast. As soon as they were fired, they were already in front of him, so he didn't have time to dodge at all.
Not to mention that the range of these sixteen Magic Rockets was very large. If he rushed to dodge, he might not be able to dodge them all.
If he wasn't prepared and was hit by one, even if it was him, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be injured.
In an instant, Runa made the wisest decision. He stopped and gathered all his magic, pouring it all into the Magic Barrier.
"Hong, hong, hong."
Three Magic Rockets that were even thicker than Runa's head slammed into the Magic Barrier, immediately exploding with incomparably bright light.
The violent explosion was accompanied by a shockwave that swept towards the sea. It actually caused a huge wave that was more than two meters high to appear in the calm sea at night. It was enough to show how powerful the three explosions were.
Runa's body, which was suspended in mid-air, swayed violently. He felt something sweet in his throat, and a gush of blood rushed up to his throat.
If it weren't for Runa's quick reaction and forcefully swallowing the blood back, he would have made a fool of himself in front of everyone.
Although the power of the three Magic Rockets was all blocked by the Magic Barrier, Runa discovered that the explosive power of these three Magic Rockets was too great. Although he could withstand the power of the explosion, he couldn't completely offset the terrifying impact and shock of the explosion. As a result, his body couldn't withstand the aftershock, and was injured.
Runa checked his own magic, and was even more shocked.
After being hit by these three Magic Rockets, he only had less than one-fifth of the mana in his body left.
In other words, the power of these three Magic Rockets was only slightly weaker than a Forbidden Spell like Ragnaros' Judgment.
"Beautiful!"
Xu Yi, who was watching the battle from afar, suddenly clapped his hands and praised, "As expected of a Great Magician. You can actually last until now under such dense and powerful attacks.
Great Magician Runa, as long as you can withstand the next attack, I will fulfill my promise and let you go. "
Runa took a deep breath and calmed the surging blood in his chest. He looked at Xu Yi with a complicated expression and said, "Come."
Xu Yi nodded and lowered his head to give a few instructions to the magic communicator in his hand.
Runa patiently waited for a while, but found that the New Flyer guards didn't continue attacking. He couldn't help but feel a little strange, and couldn't help but urge Xu Yi, "Chairman Xu, where's the last attack?
Why isn't it here yet? "
Xu Yi smiled and asked in return, "Great Magician Runa, do you want to die that much?"
Runa was startled, and then he flew into a rage. "Who would be willing to seek death?
Chairman Xu, are you trying to humiliate me? "
"No, I didn't mean that." Xu Yi shook his head.
"But Great Magician Runa, I think you should be clear on one fact. You don't have much magic left, and the power of this last attack will far surpass the previous two attacks. Are you sure you can block it?"
Runa was silent for a while before he snorted and said, "Nonsense!
This is your condition, I don't want to agree, but will you agree?
Will Great Magician Camilla agree? "
"That might not be the case." Xu Yi said with a faint smile.
"Actually, you still have another chance to avoid the fate of death."
Runa narrowed his eyes as he looked at Xu Yi and laughed, "Chairman Xu, although I admit that I'm not a person with a backbone, I am still a Great Magician.
If you want to use this method to humiliate me, then you're dreaming! "
"I've said it before, I'm not trying to humiliate you, I just want to make a deal with you." Xu Yi said with a shake of his head.
"Great Magician Runa, can I ask you something? You said that someone asked you to assassinate me, so how much did that person pay?"
"Why are you interested in this?" Runa asked back.
"I'm very curious about how much I'm worth." Xu Yi shrugged.
Runa curled his lips, "Five hundred thousand gold coins.
How about it, isn't it worth a lot? "
"Only five hundred thousand gold coins?" Xu Yi's eyes opened wide in shock.
"Isn't that too little?
Am I that worthless? "
Runa's eyes also opened wide as he looked at Xu Yi with a look of disbelief, "Chairman Xu, aren't you thinking too highly of yourself?
Five hundred thousand gold coins is a large sum, yet you think it's too little? "
"Of course I think it's too little." Xu Yi said without any politeness.
"Let me tell you, our New Flyer's monthly profit is over a million gold coins. As the chairman, I get over five million gold coins in dividends from the New Flyer, but now you're telling me that I'm only worth five hundred thousand gold coins?
You're looking down on me too much! "
"Five million gold coins a year?" Runa looked at Xu Yi in shock.
"Are you joking?
How is that possible?
Even your Lampari Kingdom's annual revenue isn't that much, right?
You alone earn more than the entire Lampuri Kingdom in a single year? "
"That's not strange." Xu Yi said with a laugh.
"Actually, the Lampari Kingdom's finances are very poor in my opinion. Just in the Lampari Kingdom, there are many large nobles and merchants whose annual income far surpasses the kingdom's annual revenue, this is no secret.
Great Magician Runa, for you to be surprised by this, I can only say ….. you're too ignorant. "
"You ….." Runa was filled with rage, but he found that at least in this aspect, Xu Yi's criticism of him wasn't wrong.
Thinking about it, Runa suppressed the anger in his heart and asked Xu Yi in a muffled voice, "Alright, you're saying all this nonsense to me, what do you want to say?"
"I just want to ask you, compared to taking such a large risk to earn five hundred thousand gold coins, and it's hard to say if you'll actually get it, are you interested in earning at least ten thousand gold coins a year? Sometimes it can even reach thirty to fifty thousand gold coins and you can put it all into magic research. Moreover, you don't have to pay for the materials you need?"
Great Magician Camilla and Stiel beside Xu Yi instantly understood Xu Yi's meaning and knit their brows at the same time.
"Xu Yi, this fellow wants to assassinate you, how could you do this?" Great Magician Camilla said in a deep voice.
"That's right.
Xu Yi, he almost killed us just now, how could you let him work for us? "
Xu Yi waved his hand, "This isn't anything, he was just bribed by someone else.
Since someone else can bribe him, I should be able to do the same.
Don't forget, I have plenty of money. "
Stiel rolled her eyes at Xu Yi and didn't try to persuade him anymore.
She knew that since Xu Yi had made his decision, he wouldn't easily change it.
Great Magician Camilla knit his brows to think, but he didn't say anything else.
Seeing that the two of them didn't say anything else, Xu Yi raised his voice to ask Runa in the distance, "How about it?
Great Magician Runa, are you interested in this kind of work? "
Runa thought for a bit before asking Xu Yi, "Chairman Xu, you want to recruit me to work for you in New Flyer?
Humph!
You're too naive! "
"No, no, no, this isn't naive." Xu Yi shook his head with a smile.
"You just said it, no one is willing to take the initiative to seek death.
In this situation, if you don't agree to my conditions, there is only death for you.
You tried to kill me and Stiel, so there is no problem even if I kill you.
I'm willing to give you a chance and let you make a choice, this is already very benevolent.
Alright, you can choose now. Do you want to die or work for me? "
Runa gave a bitter laugh, "Do I have a choice?"
