Chapter 286: A Little Accident That Shouldn't Have Happened
Dark night descends on the magnificent city, Wynether!
As the most majestic city in the Montimos continent, it is a veritable city that never sleeps, and the people who live in it will naturally have a sense of superiority from the bottom of their hearts that is difficult to express in words, even civilians are no exception, even beggars living in this majestic city will feel that they are more noble than beggars living in other cities.
Even after nightfall, this majestic city has not become calm, but more lively and prosperous, so the night is just the other side of the city!
And whenever the night comes, people who like to live in the night will go out of the house, or walk in pairs, or hide in the shadows alone, their lives are different from ordinary people, with the fall of night, their day of life officially begins.
Working at night can be tireless, or even boring, but you have to send people to work, such as guarding the magic teleportation array.
During the day, it will be very busy, but once it is night, it will become very calm, sometimes, within a month, it may not appear, and there are cases of people using magic teleportation arrays at night, although it is not far from the day when the whole country celebrates, but the use of magic teleportation arrays at night is only a handful.
It was precisely because of this that Harley, who was guarding the magic teleportation array, did not sleep during the day, but spent the whole afternoon in the bar, preparing to sleep again when he was on duty tonight, when the moon was already hanging high above his head, and the tidal wave of tiredness disturbed him really couldn't keep his spirits, yawning and barely raising his heavy eyelids, like a chicken eating rice, nodding his head one after another.
Barely raised his eyelids, glanced at the rows of magic stones of different colors used to prompt, and in a trance, Harley seemed to see one of the red ** magic stones lit up, reluctantly raised his eyelids, stared there and looked at it intently, and the scene just now was staged again.
Until this time, the dazed Harley suddenly became tired, his eyes widened, and he didn't dare to stare at the red ** magic stone, waiting for it to light up again, and sure enough, after only one breath, the red ** magic stone lit up again as he wished.
Seeing this scene again, Harley took a deep breath, and only after his cheeks flushed did he roar hysterically.
"Alert! Alert! Someone is going to use the magic circle to teleport over!"
A piece of yellow and clear gong was lifted in his hand, and he struck it vigorously, and the figure running wildly was like a mad dog, beating the gong while yelling in a voice that did not resemble a human voice.
In his beating sound like chickens flying and dogs, a confused figure with a stomach full of complaints, slowly appeared in his field of vision, looking at Harley running wildly with the eyes of a fool.
"What's wrong with this guy?
"Who knows!"
"Isn't there really anyone going to teleport over?"
"No kidding, how could it be!
"Yes! It must be that drunkard who drank too much, and read it wrong!"
"Whoever went to stop him, I've never seen him run so fast!" ordered a man who suddenly seemed to be the leader.
Someone standing next to him immediately waved at the galloping figure and shouted loudly.
"Hey, Harley, Harley, get here, Mistress Gordon called you, what the hell is going on?"
In this dull reprimand, the running figure stopped, and after seeing the person clearly, it seemed to have found a savior, and rushed towards the person.
"My lord, my lord! Someone is going to teleport over! Someone is going to teleport over! Hurry up and activate the magic array! It's too late!"
Bang!
Harley, who had just urged the visitor to hurry up and activate the magic teleportation array, covered his face with his hands at a loss, and looked at the former with a puzzled face, the bright red palm print was clearly visible on his face, and the five fingers were clearly printed on the latter's face.
"What are you panicking! Calm me down! Sentence by sentence, make it clear!What the hell is going on?" the bearded Gordon spat fiercely, and glanced at the former with disdain, obviously very dissatisfied with his gaffe, after all, it is not a pleasant thing to be disturbed by a good dream.
"The red magic stone is a red magic stone! The red magic stone in Conyounis City is lit up!" Halley came back to his senses and replied quickly with a pant of breath while covering the side of his cheek that had been beaten.
"Red ** Law Stone! Conyounis City! Red ** Law Stone?" The bearded Gordon subconsciously repeated twice, and suddenly as if he remembered something, his eyes widened, and he raised his hand again, shining on the other side of Harley's face, and slapped him hard.
Then he turned his head and glared at the crowd who were sitting in a circle and laughing, and scolded unceremoniously. "Bastard, what kind of excitement are you seeing! Why don't you hurry up and prepare to activate the magic teleportation array!
Seeing this scene, the onlookers didn't know what was going on, and they immediately turned into birds and beasts, quickly rushed to their own posts, and started their own jobs neatly.
Satisfied watching his subordinates move quickly to prepare for activating the magic teleportation array, the bearded Gordon breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help muttering to himself in his mind, not to blame Harley's panicked look, even when he suddenly heard the news, he was also shocked.
The magic stone used for warning is divided into four colors, green, orange, red, and black, which are equivalent to four warning levels, normal, dangerous, urgent, and extremely urgent.
And not only that, each row of magic stones corresponds to a city that can be directly teleported back to the imperial capital, and these cities are either main city-level cities, or fortress-type cities, or cities with special significance, although these types of cities usually do not teleport back once a year, but every time they appear, they will bring earth-shattering news, joy or sadness.
And the city of Conyounis belongs to this kind, and its status is quite high, as the easternmost fortress city of the empire, the status is extremely important, it is not only adjacent to the Republic of Disharhinu.
What's more, it also faces the threat of a coalition of small nations to the southeast, and while the probability of this happening is zero, no one can be sure that it will not happen in the future.
Therefore, when the bearded Gordon learned the news that the red ** magic stone showing Conyounis City was lit up, his first reaction was a buzz in his mind, as if he had been hit with a heavy hammer, and his second reaction was to yell at his subordinates and prepare to activate the magic teleportation array as quickly as possible.
Although the other party can also teleport directly, if the other party is ready to receive it in time, it can not only greatly reduce the probability of failure, but also speed up its transmission.
Time passed bit by bit, and although his subordinates were already preparing in a much more state than usual, the bearded Gordon still felt that time was so long that he couldn't help but keep urging in his mouth.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
"You lazy people, hurry up for Lao Tzu! Do you hear it! Don't make the slightest mistake, do you understand?"
But just as the words he urged fell, there was a sudden burst of answers.
"Ready!"
"Ready!"
"Ready!"
"Ready!"
Listening to the loud replies from his subordinates, the bearded Gordon breathed a sigh of relief, he had never felt that the voices of his subordinates, who had usually voiced like broken gongs, were so beautiful and moving.
Satisfied swept across the faces of the panting crowd, the bearded Gordon waved his hand and commanded loudly.
"Activate it for Lao Tzu!
As his words fell, everyone who had been waiting for the order pressed their hands one after another, carefully and cautiously performing their duties.
A pillar of light burst into the sky! A dazzling light flashed!
After a moment of blindness, several vague and swaying figures appeared in the magic array as promised, and in just two breaths, the light dissipated, revealing the true figure inside.
Squinting at the several figures that appeared in the center of the magic array, the bearded Gordon who had already prepared had a pair of dark glasses on his face, which made him see the true face of the person before the others, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, and he whispered to himself.
"Cut, it's just a team of mercenaries!
But then, he greeted him with a smile on his face, although the smile was a little reluctant, but under the cover of night, no one could see anything.
"Welcome, the greatest city in the human realm, Wynether!"
"How many of you are here to celebrate the birthday of your great majesty?"
Shaking his dizzy head vigorously, the burly figure hugged the beautiful woman in his arms again, glanced at the bearded Gordon, and replied.
"My name is Bron Schnett, and I am from the Sophia Mercenary Regiment, and I am here to send a congratulatory gift to His Majesty Romanov XIII on the orders of the five Adjudicators!"
"It turned out to be Sophia's person from the legendary mercenary group!" the bearded Gordon looked Bronn up and down a few times, but he didn't say much, just repeated a sentence with a little disrespect, and then stopped moving.
For this kind of treatment, Bronn is obviously prepared in his heart, after all, the place where they are now is the capital of the most powerful empire, even if it is a legendary-level mercenary group, they must be more restrained in this place, otherwise they will provoke some people, and although the end of not being able to eat and walk around will not appear, embarrassment and embarrassment are indispensable.
It was with this in mind that in the face of the bearded disrespect, Bron did not mean to be angry, but smiled at the former, and then walked out with the beautiful woman in his arms in his arms, followed by Gilbert and the three, but obviously the three were not as calm as the former, and they all looked at the bearded Gordon angrily.
Disdainfully clasped his ears with his fingers, the bearded Gordon flicked at the three people who were glaring angrily, without the slightest intention of taking it in his eyes, it was obvious that this was a contempt from the heart, even if his own strength was not very good.
Seeing this scene, although Bronn was also a little angry, but when he thought of the place he was, and then thought that there was someone behind him who was about to teleport over, he simply raised his chin to Gilbert and the others, signaling the latter to get out of the way, and the latter also seemed to think of something, and they crossed their arms one after another, as if watching a play, and looked at the bearded Gordon with a playful smile.
Although he knew that what he had done was a little excessive, the contempt that rose from the bottom of his heart made him unable to bear the meaning contained in the other party's gaze, and just as he wanted to attack and teach Bronn and the others a good lesson, suddenly a sharp cry sounded in his ears.
"Oh no, there's someone else to teleport over!"
"What?!" At this sharp warning, the bearded Gordon suddenly panicked, and suddenly turned his head to look at the magic teleportation array.
At this moment, the magic teleportation array that had just dimmed began to flicker again, seeing this scene, how could he not know what it meant, and then he reacted, what did the playful gaze of Bronn and the others mean, it turned out to be from here.
As we all know, after the magic teleportation array has been used once, it cannot be used a second time in a row, if it is forcibly used, the result is that the power in the magic stone is exhausted, and the worse thing is that after the teleportation is over, the magic teleportation array will not be able to be used normally for a period of time, and the worst situation is that I don't know where to teleport the incoming person.
No matter what the outcome is, it is something that the bearded Gordon can't afford, because as the main person in charge of this place, he needs to bear the main responsibility, and the better end is to lose his official position, and the worse one will face prison.
Thinking of this, the bearded Gordon's forehead was instantly covered with fine beads of sweat, and he didn't have time to teach Bronn and the others a lesson, so he also screamed and let out an amazing roar.
"Hold it all for me, don't panic!"
"But...?!"
Although in the former's roar, everyone's panicked bodies calmed down, but they looked at him with embarrassed expressions, obviously the former's request was a bit excessive, everyone knew that there was no easing of the use of magic teleportation array, and the result was self-evident.
"Shut up Lao Tzu, it's nothing good! Even if you die, you have to die on the job for me!" the bearded Gordon waved his hand roughly, interrupting everyone's doubts.
At this moment, the speed of the magic teleportation array flickered faster and faster, and the magic stones embedded in it also became bright and dark, as if the two could collapse at any time.
Seeing this scene, the bearded Gordon was so nervous that his eyes bulged out, like a goldfish, and he didn't dare to let out the atmosphere, and kept repeating the words 'must succeed, please must succeed!'.
