Chapter 127 Propagation
The plan of action that Du Shen left to Mario is very simple. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info that is to use various channels to spread the news that the demon king is about to reappear.
Mario was worried for a moment in Du Shen's bedroom, and gradually calmed down. The reappearance of the demon king will certainly bring disaster to this world. But as Du Shen mentioned in the plan, as long as you hurry up, there may not be no chance of resolution.
Mario immediately went out and summoned Bulow. Mario follows the plan and sends Blow to Purple Rock City to deliver a message to Yakov and Shadowkeep. Along the way, Blaw will also spread the news of the Demon King's return to civilians and its dire consequences.
Because of the situation near Tia City, Mario has no choice but to continue his research. That night, he boarded the airship through the Tidegate. Mario conveys Du Shen's instructions to the wizard on the airship. After making sure that the airship was not far from Tia City, it only took a few days to rush all the way. Mario decided not to return to Death Ridge and stayed on the airship to wait for a meeting with Du Shen.
Under Mario's successive urgings, the airship flew north almost at its maximum speed. There is only one short pause to confirm direction. The airship flew day and night, reaching the southern shore of Lake Tia in less than five days.
On the southern shore of the lake, the terrain is flat and there are very few hills. The airship quickly spotted the fireworks rising from Du Shen.
As soon as Du Shen boarded the airship through the portal, he saw Mario apologize uneasily: "Du Shen, I'm sorry." Because I was in such a hurry, I added something to the message you asked to spread. I don't know if it will affect your plans. ”
Du Shen scanned the surrounding figures and found no Heleni. He smiled calmly, "What message did you add?" ”
Mario also glanced at the figure around him, and lowered his voice slightly, "I'm adding a message about the cross-border gate. I'm afraid that the Temple doesn't know about the existence and significance of the Gate, so I asked Blow to spread information about the Gate at the same time. ”
Du Shen was stunned for a moment, and walked to the main control room with a smile: "Don't worry." It's okay. Although I reckon the Temple is aware of the existence of the Crossover Gate, it is no problem for you to spread it. It's just the right thing to put pressure on them. ”
"Is there really no problem?" Mario followed in the footsteps of Du Shen.
"No problem," Du Shen looked indifferent, "Anyway, sooner or later, everyone will know." ”
"Du Shen, what the hell is going on," Mario asked eagerly, "didn't you go to meet with the Arcane Brotherhood?" Why did an ancient demon king suddenly pop up? Could it be that the stone tablet is related to the Demon King? ”
Mario looked at the wizards following behind him and lowered his voice: "Did you, you already knew?" Isn't it, you deliberately ......"
Du Shen waited for a moment, and Mario just didn't explain what was behind "deliberately".
"Could it be," Du Shen's eyes widened, "Do you think I deliberately released the Demon King?" How could you think that? ”
Mario was upset: "I'm not stupid! How do you explain the proposal you left in advance? ”
Du Shen smiled, stopped, and looked at Mario seriously: "So, what are you going to do now?" Are you going to leave me? ”
Mario asked gloomily, equally very seriously: "What are you going to do?" Do you know that what you are doing is likely to destroy the world and kill everyone? It's everyone! ”
"I regret it now," Du Shen lowered his head and shook his head, "I knew the risks, and I still opened the rumored treasure house by luck." I'm already trying my best to remedy it. I'm not asking you to spread the word widely. Isn't it just that I hope that the temple will gather its strength and destroy the demon king? ”
Mario was deflated and his expression softened: "Is it too late?" That's the ancient demon king! One of the supreme leaders of the Otherworldly army. ”
"I hope it's too late," Du Shen raised his head, raised his hand, and continued to stride forward, "After all, it has been sealed for a thousand years, and no matter how strong a person is, his strength should decline significantly!" What's more, if he forcibly broke the seal, he will definitely lose his vitality. ”
Mario followed, slightly excited: "Du Shen, I hope you won't be so reckless in the future." The disaster you have caused this time is too great! Hopefully, this time the matter can be solved perfectly! As he spoke, Mario was worried.
Du Shen nodded, looking absent-minded. He secretly thought about his future actions: "It seems that Mario will probably not follow me to the end in the future." ”
To appease Mario, Du Shen, under the supervision of the other party, made every effort to implement his plan to remedy the catastrophe he had caused. The airship flies at full strength, and it must stop when it encounters a city along the way. The airship did not disturb the inhabitants of the city, but stopped at a distance. Du Shen may send someone, and sometimes get off the boat in person. They disguised themselves in the city and spread the news of the Demon King's existence in public places such as taverns.
There are people from the Secret Law Brotherhood who are fully distributed between the nobles and the market, and Du Shen personally leads people to assist. Later, news inevitably circulated from Yakov. Later, there was also Shadow Keep spreading. Several parties joined forces, and the abnormality near Tia City quickly spread.
In just one month, the news that the Demon King was about to break the seal of the world spread to half of the Manluo world.
The great nobles, such as the temple and the royal family, had long been aware of the spread of rumors. But for a long time, most people did not pay attention. Later, the rumors intensified, and most of the superiors only suppressed the rumors, without thinking of verifying the truth of the news.
In the eyes of most of the superiors, the news that the Demon King broke the seal and reappeared in the world was too absurd.
The first to verify the news was naturally Tia City. When the rumors first appeared in the city, almost everyone just laughed it off. However, although the news is absurd, the number of people talking about it has not decreased, but has increased. A few days later, several civilians traveled to the depths of the steppe in search of the alleged mutations.
Despite the lack of markers in the grasslands, several civilians quickly discovered the location of the anomaly. It's just that the vision is too wide-ranging. Where have civilians seen the grass glow. They followed the unusual meadow and soon discovered the hill in the center, as well as strange objects at the top of the mountain.
A few civilians tried to climb to the top of the hill from the gentle slope on either side of the gravel pile. However, due to the strong air flow blowing from the ground and the orange petal, they tried several times, but they could not get close to the 100 meters of the orange petal.
Several civilians thought about the contents of the rumors that had been boiling over recently. They did not dare to stay long, but galloped back to the city and reported what they had seen to the lord of the city.
The lord of the city was suspicious and sent soldiers to follow the civilians back to the grassland for verification. Because there is no deliberate secrecy, hundreds of good deeds follow.
A few soldiers and hundreds of do-gooders quickly confirmed the rumors and brought back the news.
The whole city of Tia exploded in an instant. Almost the entire city, young and old, poured out of the city. The crowd rode horses or walked directly to the depths of the grassland. Many of them are extremely reckless. They don't care if they can get back and forth in time with their own foot strength. They didn't carry any food and drinking water at all.
Fortunately, there were a lot of people in this operation, and there were always those who were well prepared. The people helped each other, but it did not cause a tragedy.
Just when the civilians of Tia City rushed to the mutation site. The Lord of the City has passed through the Chapel to deliver the news to the Tempest Temple.
The temple was quick to respond, but did not take it too seriously. The temple sent only two messengers to inspect it. The two messengers arrived, seven days after receiving the message. They saw the rumored Sealed Gate, but they also saw the large tents near the hills.
A few hundred meters to the south of the orange petals, it seems to form a huge bazaar. Thousands of figures move inside. The vast majority of the people inside were civilians from Tia City. Because it was found that the wind was the least strong here, and it was the closest to the orange petal, everyone stayed here.
The two messengers, halfway to the road, had already heard rumors of the Demon King's existence. Now, seeing exactly what was heard, the two messengers did not dare to slack off, and immediately used the emergency channel to report to the temple headquarters.
In the past ten days, rumors of demon kings in other places have been more or less fed back to the Wind Temple. The temple immediately gathered a large number of men and rushed to the site of the mutation.
This time, it took less than three days. The investigation team of the Tempest Temple arrived. After spending days spying on the Orange Petals, investigators couldn't get close to the giant orange petals in mid-air.
At this time, the rumors of the Demon King's appearance had already spread through most of the cities of the Wind Temple. While the Tempest Templar tracked down the source of the rumors, it officially informed the other temples of the news.
Due to the proximity, the Flame Sanctuary was the first to send an investigation team to verify the news. Later, the Flame Sanctuary testified and urged. Despite the great cost of long-distance teleportation, the Radiant Temple, the Rock Temple, and the Azure Temple also sent investigation teams one after another, relying on the portal relays of all parties to quickly arrive at the location of the mutation. In the end, even Yakov sent emissaries to join in the fun.
The strength of all parties has gathered, and it is already a month after the mutation occurred.
Around the site of the mutation, all the civilians of Tia City were expelled. The camp, which originally looked like a market, became more and more crowded. They were either investigative teams sent by various parties, or guards mobilized by the Tempest Temple.
After more than ten days of research, several forces have basically determined the nature and cause of the mutation. The energy reaction on the ground does have the shadow of a seal. And the orange petal at the top of the pile of rocks, its escaping energy, is indeed caused by spatial shocks.
The situation at the anomaly point is exactly as the rumors say. Several temples were hard to believe. It's really a strange thing, revealing a strong smell of conspiracy. Several temple investigation teams argued fiercely on a daily basis that they were unable to finalize a further course of action.
Of course, the temple was not inactive. Several temples are doing their best to track down the source of the rumors. The Tempest Temple was the first to catch the rumor-mongers. It was a peripheral member of the Arcane Brotherhood. Although the temple has unearthed the Brotherhood of Secret Laws, it has still not been further arranged to deal with the incarnation of the Demon King. They focused their attention on the Brotherhood, tracking down and arresting its members in an attempt to uncover the Brotherhood's purpose.
The Brotherhood suffered losses one after another, but most of them were peripheral members. In the end, Powa couldn't stand it and took the initiative to contact the temple. He was worried that the temple was wasting precious time. At this time, the distance has changed, and it has been a month and a half. According to Du Shen's estimate, half of the temple's time has been wasted.
Powa returned to the anomaly point and secretly prayed that Du Shen's estimate was not too far off: "I don't expect that Du Shen's estimate is wrong. We don't have more time to prepare. I just beg that there really is still a month and a half left for us to prepare. ”
