When the butler came over, Su Chen had already noticed the exquisite wooden box in his hand. As a beginner magician, he felt a slight magic fluctuation from the box, which made him slightly afraid.

When Owen told him that he had a treasure to show him, Su Chen had a faint feeling that something was wrong. He kicked Captain Ian under the table, and the speed of chewing the drumstick also slowed down, his eyes were fixed on the wooden box, and he did not relax.

At this time, Owen himself did not relax his vigilance. After Su Chen reminded him, he became even more nervous. He did not put down the drumstick in his left hand but secretly put on the short sword in his right hand under the table, just in case.

“My Lords! My uncle gave me a treasure, and I have always liked it. Why don’t you guess what it is? If you guess correctly, I’ll give it to the two lords as a greeting gift!”

After Owen received the self-defense scroll that his uncle had given him, his heart calmed down. Not only did he speak in a relaxed manner, but he also had the intention to joke around, wanting to tease the two country bumpkins in front of him.

“Hahaha, clan leader Owen is really courteous. He came to treat us to a meal and even gave us a gift. How embarrassing is that? There’s no need for a gift, right? Since it’s a gift from my uncle and you like it, then it’s not good for me to snatch someone else’s beloved item.” Su Chen was vigilant in his heart, he knew that he did not have any good intentions. He replied casually with a smile.

Owen felt that these two country bumpkins might be on guard. He decided that there was no time to lose. It was time to take action. “Then I’ll ask the two lords to help me appreciate it!”

As he spoke, he opened the exquisite and beautiful wooden box and took out a scroll that emitted a faint blue light. The air in the hall suddenly felt a few degrees lower.

“Oh no, Lord Mayor! It’s a magic scroll!”

Ian suddenly cried out in surprise. He had been staring at the box in Owen’s hand. The moment he opened it, the feeling of danger made his hair stand on end. It was not until Owen took the scroll out that he realized that it was a dangerous magic scroll, he then cried out in alarm to tell Su Chen.

The magic in this world could be injected into a scroll through a special method, but the materials needed to make a magic scroll were expensive. The higher the level of the magic scroll, the rarer the materials needed to make it, basically, only mages had the ability to make it, and injecting magic into it required several times more magic power than the normal spell. Therefore, magic scrolls were only a means of emergency protection for wealthy people. This did not exclude the possibility that some wealthy mages would use magic scrolls to intimidate people.

Owen clearly did not belong to this kind of wealthy person. All his belongings were only enough to buy two magic scrolls of the lowest level. Therefore, he treated the magic scroll that his uncle, who was working in the Magic Academy, gave him as a treasure.

If it were not for the fact that Su Chen had brought a hundred well-equipped silver knights to invade the town today, he would only have to face the militia and guards. With his team of bronze knights and a beginner mage like himself, he had every confidence that he can take down this town’s last line of defense with ease.

Today, though, when he saw that Su Chen and Ian were like a group of knights descending from the sky, he suddenly felt that he could not beat them. Fortunately, he still had the trump card of the scroll. Although his heart ached for the magic scroll, he did not want to stall any longer,

Under the light of the dark blue scroll, Owen’s face gradually revealed a ferocious smile. He tore the scroll in his hand with force, and surging magic power burst out from the scroll. He saw Ian’s panicked expression, seeing that Su Chen was sitting there in a daze as if he was scared silly, he shouted hysterically, “Go to hell! You two country bumpkins!”

The surrounding ice magic power became more and more concentrated. The ice around Ian and Su Chen began to condense into short blades, and the temperature around them dropped by several degrees.

“Oh no, Su Chen, this is a level-3 spell, Ice Blade!” There was no way to run out of its magic range now. As he spoke, he pulled Su Chen to his side, wanting to help him block it, but he knew that it was futile.

A level-3 ice spell had an objective killing power. A short ice blade condensed from ice elements was even more damaging than a real metal blade. This kind of small-scale ice spell was meant to trap and kill enemies, not only would it form a large number of ice blades, but it would also spin at a high speed. Therefore, after normal spells were formed, it was basically impossible to break out of the encirclement.

Just as Ian was feeling extremely anxious, he realized that Su Chen was mumbling something beside him. Ian was not in the mood to care about what he was mumbling about. Perhaps he was just praying in his heart. He thought that even if a beginner mage knew defensive skills, they would not be able to withstand a spell of this intensity.

He did not count on relying on this town mayor. Instead, he was thinking about how to protect him as much as possible. He was using the tables and chairs as a cover, trying to minimize the damage received.

“Old friend, if your son can’t survive, I have no other choice. After all, it is very difficult even for me to survive under this Level-3 Spell!” Ian thought in his heart. He was already prepared to die, he pulled Su Chen into his arms, intending to resist by himself in an attempt to protect Su Chen.

Su Chen struggled with his protective action. He could not understand what he was muttering. In fact, Su Chen was summoning the Glimmer Knights. In an instant, they were surrounded by a group of knights, about twenty of them.

“Defensive Formation!” Knight leader Kyle stood proudly among them. The group of knights surrounded Su Chen and Ian in two layers. One round Knight Shield after another formed two semi-circular shields, covering them.

Ian looked at the knights who were falling from the sky in a daze. He was stunned. 

The round shields formed a tight barrier, which gave the two of them a great sense of security. The sharp ice blades that were rotating at a high speed rubbed fiercely against their shields, making a series of ear-piercing noises.

“Don’t worry, Ian. None of us will die today. The one who will die is Owen!”

Su Chen’s soft voice came from beside him. Hearing it in Ian’s ears, he had an inexplicable sense of security. For the past two days, this small-town mayor had been giving him surprises after surprises. 

However, as the ice blades spun faster and faster, the knights’ shields under the high-speed friction was rapidly wearing down.

“Bang!” One of the knight’s shields finally could not hold on any longer and was torn apart. The Glimmer Knight on the outer circle simply threw away the broken remains of the knight’s shield and used the armor on his arms to block the ice blades.

The strength of the armor was also limited. He could not hold on any longer and turned into white light that dissipated into the air.

The inner layer of the shield was about to be broken through by the ice blades!

The situation was critical..
