Chapter Ninety-Six: The Beginning of Turmoil
The light of the magic array flashed, and Fan Luo was the last to teleport.
With a fighting spirit, Fan Luo destroyed the magic array under his feet, and completely cut off the possibility of the church finding their location from the teleportation circle.
Arthur looked around, it was a small secret room. There was nothing in the room except for the magic circle in the middle of the chamber, the staircase that clinged to one wall upward, and a few loose cushions, and it was impossible to tell where they were now.
"Feel free to sit down, everybody, we're going to hide here for a while. Van Lowe explained to the crowd.
"Where is this?" asked Arthur.
"This is the basement of an ordinary house in the east of the city. Always prepared as an emergency refuge for the king, the inhabitants of it have been living here for more than twenty years and have not performed any tasks, no one will doubt and find here. ”
"And how long are we going to wait here?" asked the Archmage of Austin this time.
"I'll hide for about three or five days, and when the limelight passes a bit, I'll go up and get some food and water for a while, and check the situation outside. ”
Van Luo's caution is not unreasonable, the chief and deputy head of the Punishment Order and the head priest of the Light are all killed in battle, the Church of Light must be blown up now, and the anger of the church will affect countless suspects.
"No, I have to get out of here. The Archmage of Austin insisted.
"Great Magician, where are you going?"
"I only came to help on the king's orders, and now that the matter is done, of course I have to go back to the inn. ”
Van Lowe immediately refused, "You must not leave here!" all the people in the Inquisition died outside the Kingdom Palace, and all those related to Isaac would become the object of suspicion of the church. And Arman is still alive, although he doesn't know you, but with the clue that the thunder archmage who appeared next to His Highness Eleven, he will find out about you. ”
Grand Magician Austin's eyes immediately widened, "That's why I'm going back, there are seven of my other students in the inn." If the church goes mad, they will be implicated. ”
"Then you can't leave. I'll go out for a while, and I'll pass on the message and arrange for someone to move them to another safe place. ”
"No, even if I transfer, I'm going to stay with the students. "The Archmage of Austin is still stubbornly holding on.
Van Lowe used silence to assert his opinion.
The atmosphere in the chamber was a little stiff.
Only Chiro, Naru, and Rorty were the only ones in the room who could really stay out of it, and as dark mages, they were used to hiding in the dark. The three of them had already sat down against the wall, and Master Chiro had even closed his eyes and rested.
Arthur coughed deliberately, and said half-jokingly: "Mr. Van Luo, you better let the Great Magician leave, if he breaks out, he will blow up this place." ”
The Austin Archmage glared at Arthur fiercely.
Arthur pretended not to see it and continued: "Now that the assassination of the Emperor has been completely exposed, I guess Grand Magician Arman will definitely not return to the Imperial Palace, and he will not cooperate with the Church of Light, after all, Ingersoll and Thorn also died in his hands indirectly. So the church definitely won't find out about the Great Magician so quickly, and it's not too dangerous to show up now. ”
Fan Luo thought for a while before nodding slowly, "After the Great Magician returns, he will wait for my news in the post house, and I will have someone arrange for everyone in the Blood Yao Academy to transfer as soon as possible." ”
The Grand Magician of Austin had no opinion, and turned his head to look at Arthur again.
Arthur thought that Austin was going to praise himself, but he didn't expect the great magician to reach out to him, "Bring the things." ”
"What's that?"
"Don't be confused with me, Ingersoll and Thorn's spatial ring. ”
Arthur immediately pretended to cry, "Great magician, you can't be unreasonable, I took the risk to collect those two corpses." ”
Austin's eyes widened, "I killed the person, if I hadn't shot before, someone else would have collected your body now." ”
Arthur thought to himself that you hadn't picked up Arman's cheapness, but he didn't dare to really say anything, so he could only continue to bargain and said, "Or we will be half of each other." ”
"There's no room for you to bargain with me, and I haven't gotten out of the dragon soul wood last time?" The electric sparks had already begun to flicker on the archmage's hands, as if if Arthur would fall on him again if he dared to say one more word.
"It's stingy. Arthur muttered and pulled out the two charred corpses in the bracelet, not only the space ring on the corpses, but also the weapons of the two Arthur did not forget to pick it up. Ingersoll's Bright Sword and Thorn's Magic Staff are top-notch pieces of exceptional equipment.
Austin didn't take the weapon, only took the two spatial rings from the corpse, then turned to Fan Luo and said, "Let's go, those two weapons will be handled by Mr. Fan Luo." ”
Austin's handling of this is actually good for Arthur, the two of them are too sensitive to the contents of their weapons and rings, and no matter how secretive they are, they may be counter-checked by the church.
Arthur slumped on the ground like a deflated ball, and for Arthur not taking advantage of it was equivalent to suffering a huge loss.
Van Lowe pushed a hole open at the end of the stairs and climbed out first.
Before crawling out, the Austin archmage suddenly turned his head and threw something at Arthur, "You take this, if you can't beat it, you can run, don't die for no reason." ”
Arthur smiled, "This old man is actually not too bad!"
......
To the west of the imperial capital, the brothers and sisters Hazen and Heidi were leading more than 50 people in different costumes to run through the streets.
All of them were masked in black veil, and the only feature they had in common was a red towel wrapped around their left upper arm.
"Stop, this is it. Hazen suddenly stopped in front of a three-story restaurant, and the crowd behind him surrounded him in a circle.
The earth mage stepped forward. ”
As Heidi greeted, four people stepped out of the group.
"Listen to my unified order, under this restaurant, the ground splitting technique. ”
As the four palms pressed on the ground at the same time, a huge crack dozens of meters long and five or six meters deep cracked on the ground, and the entire restaurant collapsed, and countless bricks and tiles fell into the cracks.
Because of the violent shaking of the earth, nearby residents rushed out of their homes with shouts.
Heidi ignored the reactions of the people around her, and continued to command, "Earth splitting, the second time." ”
The cracks in the ground have become deeper and larger, and many of the houses in the vicinity have collapsed.
"Ground splitting, for the third time. ”
Three times in a row, a huge ravine more than ten meters deep appeared under everyone's feet, and a burst of magical light reflected from the ground.
"All the magicians stepped forward, and the strongest magic attacked the underground. Heidi shouted in an excited voice.
At this moment, the forbidden army of the brigade rushed over from the street entrance, "Who are you, stop!"
Making such a big movement naturally alarmed the highly guarded Praetorian Guards scattered throughout the imperial capital tonight.
"The magician continued to attack the underground, and the others followed me to stop the Praetorian Army. Hazen led the men to rush forward against the Praetorian Guards, and a scuffle ensued in an instant.
The same situation was playing out at the same time in dozens of locations in the imperial capital......
