Steel, Guns and the Industrial Party Across the World Chapter 137

Under Paul's astonished eyes, the gray-white stone hanging on his chest was slowly turning black.

This stone was given to him by the head of the monastery, Leonard, who insisted that it would be able to guard against evil wizards from harming him. Paul originally dismissed this, but thinking of the other party's good intentions, he hung this stone on his chest as an amulet blessed by the master.

"When there is a wave of magic nearby, its color will turn black!" That's what the old dean said at the time.

In an instant, Paul's three views began to collapse. Could it be that magic really exists in this world!

When he just woke up the memory of his previous life, he heard about magic from the old housekeeper Philip, but as he gradually integrated into this world, there seemed to be no direct evidence that there was such a thing in the world. The disdain of this medieval backward world made him gradually think that magic is just a helpless explanation for ignorant people to things they don't understand.

"No...impossible! It's just a chemical reaction!"

Subconsciously, he still couldn't believe it.

The cloaked man blocking the way was none other than Barnett. He heard the news that the Garden Pirates had been wiped out by the local lord in Port Flanders, and he was furious for a while.

After arriving in the northwest region of the Aldo Kingdom, all his plans went very smoothly. He subdued the Kent family on land, controlled Duke Ferdinand, and integrated various pirate groups on the sea. This was almost completed.

The original follow-up plan was to let the pirates land on a large scale to harass various territories. With his own help, those stupid lords could not resist at all, and then Maltz Kent would come forward to "surrender" the pirate group and win him great prestige, so that the The duke could have a reason to pass the seat to him.

After that, Maltz Kent was in the light, and he was in the dark, and slowly cleaned up the lords in the northwest who were still loyal to the royal family. Finally, land and water rose together and raised the anti-flag in the northwest, echoing the Giles rebels in the south.

Garden was the pirate force he managed to support, and he was counting on him to lead the pirates and become a great help for him on the sea. At that time, he paid attention to the various pirate groups for a long time, and finally selected the team of Garden to support him.

Now that an important part of his plan had been destroyed, he suddenly felt a deep sense of frustration due to the smooth sailing.

It's all the fault of that **** Paul Gladman.

Barnett made a decision almost immediately, and he must let this person who made him feel frustrated disappear from the world.

Having been active in the Northwest for such a long time, Barnett is almost familiar with all the forces in this place.

The Greiman family is nothing more than a small lord who can't stand on the stage. Although they bear the title of earl, they are actually the sinful family exiled here by the royal family. This family also ruled the most barren earldom in the northwest region, and there was not even a single vassal under it.

Some time ago, because he defeated a small group of pirates, the current Patriarch seemed a little unaware of how much he weighed.

If the opponent was a powerful family like Ferdinand or Kent who had a large number of military forces at their disposal, he would have to spend a lot of brains and use some methods in secret.

But to deal with a poor lord like Gleiman who doesn't even have a single knight under his command, if he tried his best to play tricks, he would be laughed out of his teeth if it reached the ears of his secretive companions.

Barnett decided to get rid of Paul Grayman directly, not because he wanted to hit the door in broad daylight, and now his identity will continue to be hidden for a period of time.

He planned to sneak into Huxin Town quietly and perform an ànshā in the dead of night, in order to let this ignorant lord suffer a lot and die.

Barnett was convinced that with his own means, such a thing could be accomplished with ease.

To his surprise, he met this lord on his way to Huxin Town.

God really treats me kindly, if in a town with a large population, if there is a big disturbance accidentally, it will attract the church's magic stick to cause me a lot of trouble.

Of course it's just a hassle.

Nowadays, in this wilderness where there is no village in front of the village and no shop in the back, it is almost impossible for anyone to find out if you kill this lord, as long as you dispose of the corpse.

As for the guards around Paul Greiman, hehe, if they were a group of regular knights, I would have to make some more preparations, but none of Greiman's guards seemed to wear armor, and all of them were dressed in civilian clothes. The weapons are only swords, not even gōngnǔ for long-range use.

Oh, the girl next to her carried a bow, but what good is a bow? It's still that kind of weak short bow, coupled with the strength of a girl, the power can be imagined.

"Stone Skin Technique" plus "Great Strength Technique", they are already invincible in front of this group of people.

With his proficiency in the stone skin technique, his defensive power can be compared to the plate armor made by dwarves, and the opponent's weapons can't break through his defense at all.

So, he walked over confidently.

Three soldiers were ordered to arrest him, and with the help of the Great Strength Technique, Barnett easily killed two of them, and he didn't bother to look at the remaining paralyzed soldier and continued walking forward.

Seeing a man dressed as an officer leading more soldiers approaching him, he smiled contemptuously.

"Come on! It's a great honor for you mortals~www.mtlnovel.com~ to see the power of arcana today."

However, just when Barnett was about to start the slaughter, a sense of danger emerged spontaneously, and he almost instinctively grabbed the air with his hands.

A feathered arrow appeared in his hand.

Cold sweat dripped from his back, if he hadn't reacted in time, there is no doubt that the arrow would have shot into his eyes without any mistakes - that was the biggest weakness of the "Stoneskin Technique".

Fortunately, out of tactical caution, he cast "Danger Perception" on himself in advance.

"Tsk!"

Missing a hit, the female advisor Ladi quickly pulled out the second arrow, and under the effect of "full concentration", continued to aim at the enemy's eyes.

The second arrow was shot quickly, but unfortunately it was caught by the opponent again.

Barnett looked at the girl next to Paul, frowned and said, "There seems to be an annoying little bug on the other side."

However, under the effect of "danger perception", even if the opponent's archery is accurate, he can catch the incoming arrows in time with the reaction speed he has trained for a long time. , but it is not a comfortable thing to let the opponent's arrows stick to one's face.

At this time, the captain of the guard, Victor, also led the soldiers to Barnett's side. Before he had time to marvel at the superb archery skills of the female consultant, he took advantage of the moment when the other party was distracted by the bow and arrow, holding the sword in both hands and drumming up. He stabbed at the opponent's chest with all his strength.

However, something incredible happened, and there was only a "bang", as if it had been stabbed into a hard steel plate.

He could feel that, apart from piercing the opponent's clothes, the sword tip did not make any progress when it touched the opponent's chest.

Under the horrified gaze of the chief guard, Barnett grasped the sharp blade, turned his gaze to him, and said with a smile:

"Why rush to die?"
