336 Chaos within the city
It is said that it happened after the people of the Old Demon Sect appeared in Cosmos.
Since the old demon faction was discovered to have appeared in Cosmos, some strange things have gradually begun to appear in Cosmos.
For example, some people will wake up and find themselves not in the bedroom at home, but in the field, or even in the hall of someone else's house.
For example, some people find that their homes are suddenly and inexplicably moved to other locations, and the surrounding neighbors are all unknown people, and even some people's homes will be stacked directly on top of other people's homes, or even appear on trees, which is very scary.
What's more, there are people who have witnessed the sudden disappearance of the people around them.
The friend who was talking to him a second ago suddenly turned into a rock.
The wife who was holding in his arms suddenly became a rough man.
There are also pets in people's homes, and when they get up the next day, they actually become a monster, and they almost die for it.
In short, all kinds of monsters have appeared, causing a huge chaos in Cosmos, and no one can feel at ease.
And that's not even the scariest of all.
The most terrifying thing is that strange things like this are gradually centered on Cosmos, and the scope of influence is gradually expanding, and even the imperial cities of neighboring countries are being affected, causing some buildings and people between the two countries to also exchange positions with each other.
This is not a calming situation.
After all, you can't completely deny that the next time the Imperial people are replaced here are just ordinary people and buildings.
What if it was the Empire's proud Knights who were replaced?
What if the empire has been expanding and is now approaching a million troops?
In that case, Cosmos, the line of defense used to block the invasion of the Empire, will be ineffective, and the Empire's military power will appear directly in the territory of the kingdom and begin to invade with impunity.
This is a very dangerous situation.
"Because of this matter, some people even say that this is the latest large-scale magic ritual developed by the Empire, the purpose of which is to send the Knights and a huge army into the kingdom, directly cross the kingdom's defense line, and launch an invasion."
The guards revealed something like this.
"But the same seems to have happened on the Empire's side, and it is also rumored that our kingdom is a ghost."
Imperial people and imperial buildings suddenly appeared in the kingdom, and naturally kingdom people and kingdom buildings suddenly appeared in the empire.
In this case, the other side will have the same suspicion as this side, thinking that this is a sign of the kingdom's invasion, which is also a normal thing.
"Both sides have their own opinions, both believe that the other side is the devil, and their own side is a victim and is innocent, and as a result, this incident has not only caused chaos among the people, but also caused disputes between the two countries."
The guard said in distress.
"Because of this matter, as the first source of strange things, Cosmos has been highly valued by the two countries, and now not only the first knights of the kingdom have sent people to Cosmos to carry out an investigation in Cosmos, but the empire has also asked to send people to investigate, and finally after negotiation, the second princess of the empire, Caperine Ragnar, has led the knights of the Broken Blade formed by herself into Cosmos to investigate."
In other words, the current Cosmos is not only very chaotic, but also the First Knights of the Duke of Strings and the Knights of the Imperial Princess's Bodyguard.
Coupled with the fact that the people of the Old Demon Clan are still here, and strange things continue to happen, Cosmos is now in an unprecedented tense atmosphere, and there is no way to continue whether it is business or trade.
In desperation, the Strings had no choice but to completely block Cosmos and launch a carpet search in Cosmos.
But the level of chaos in Cosmos now is even higher than that.
"With the search and investigation going on, the kingdom and the empire are now being attacked every day, and some people are lost."
"And both sides thought that the other party was secretly doing it, so they fought against each other, and there were many conflicts and fights."
"There are also people who have noticed the traces of the old demon faction, thinking that the old demon faction is secretly attacking the investigators, but because the two sides do not have a relationship of mutual trust, they both wonder if the other party has taken the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, and launched some actions on their own, and splashed all the dirty water on the old demon faction, and the conflict and strife have not stopped."
"In such a situation, there will be monsters that have been exchanged in Cosmos from time to time, so that the commoners have some losses, and now Cosmos is in chaos."
For this reason, ordinary civilians no longer dare to go out on the streets, and they are all locked up in their own homes, but they are still frightened all day long, and they don't know when they will disappear and appear somewhere else, or someone else or even a monster suddenly appears in the house, and they can't feel at ease at all.
The First Knights and the Knights of Broken Blade were in constant conflict and the inefficiency of their investigations led to delays in the matter.
Who would want to be involved in such a mess?
The guards were also worried that if they put this nobleman who held the royal family token in, if something happened to him and the royal family would pursue him, he might lose his head.
In addition, the Strings family gave a death order and absolutely no one was allowed to enter, and the guards really didn't know if something would happen to them if they let them go.
Therefore, he can only try his best to advise, wanting Sheen to retreat by himself.
Who would have thought that Sheen was silent for a while, and then spoke.
"I see, let me in."
Sheehan had the slightest idea of changing his mind.
"Your Excellency."
The guard's face is bitter, and his heart is cold.
Sheen didn't want to talk nonsense anymore, so he directly slapped the royal token on the other party's face, and even gently swiped his neck, telling him what the consequences would be if he didn't let himself in.
Feeling the chill in his neck, the guard really wanted to cry.
This is death, and if you don't let it go, it's death, why is it so difficult to be a man?
You bigwigs are playing games with each other, can you not involve us ordinary people?
I was just watching the door, and I thought it was the easiest and least dangerous job, but who knew that there would be such a proposition?
I'm not doing it! When I went back, I resigned and went home to inherit the land left by my ancestors, married the blind date introduced by my family last time, and lived a relaxed life of having children and occasionally going to the ground.
Can... But that blind date object has a lot of flesh and two of them!
But there is no way, who makes people have so much money in their families?
We've got it!
"You go in..."
At the moment, the guards could only hang their heads and make a dejected voice.
"Thanks."
Sheen didn't know that his behavior had caused people to abandon their dreams, recognize reality, and prepare to go home to accept the oppression of life and the complete change in the trajectory of life.
And the guard, after hanging his head, hurriedly ran to report the matter here.
In any case, if someone breaks through the blockade and enters the city, this kind of thing must be reported to the higher-ups, otherwise people will really blame it.
......
In this way, Sheehan and his party finally entered Cosmos.
But this time they entered Cosmos, and the group immediately discovered an unusual place.
“...... Did you find out? Aiyi? ”
Sheen retracted his expression and spoke to Ai beside him.
"Hmm." Aiyi's eyes flashed, and she said lightly, "The flow of magic in the atmosphere is obviously abnormal. ”
That's right, the flow of mana is not normal.
And this kind of abnormality, Sheehan has also experienced.
"It can't be a demon refining ceremony, right?"
Sheehan brought it up.
The demon refining ritual experienced in the royal capital is like this, which will make the flow of magic power very abnormal.
But Aiyi shook her head and denied it.
"No, it's not a demon refining ritual." Ai Yi said with certainty: "It's not just the feeling of magic that is wrong, but even the phenomena and conditions of the ritual are wrong. ”
Indeed, the flow of magic that occurs when the alchemy ritual unfolds is very dark, evil, and eerie.
On the other hand, the flow of magic in Cosmos, although it is also very strange, is not as dark and evil as the alchemy ritual.
Moreover, the object of the demon refining ritual is the demons and monsters, although Cosmos is a racial melting pot, but this melting pot is limited to the scope of the human race, there are humans, elves, orcs, and dwarves, but there should not be demons, let alone monsters, except for tamed riding beasts, there will not be many monsters in the city at all.
Such a place is not suitable for carrying out demon refining rituals at all.
"Moreover, after the demon refining ceremony is launched, the space inside and outside the ritual will be completely isolated, and the area covered by the ritual will be turned into an independent space, and there is no way to enter and exit freely, since we can walk in now, it proves that there is no demon refining ceremony held here."
Aiyi's statement was approved by Sheehan.
It really didn't feel like a demon refining ritual.
Besides, I haven't heard of the strange things that the guards mentioned in the area of the ritual will appear in the area of the alchemy ceremony.
There should be other anomalies happening here, and it has nothing to do with the demon refining ritual.
But this magic flowed, and Sheen really cared a little.
"It's no wonder that kingdoms and empires believe that someone is holding a large-scale magical ritual to play a ghost."
The flow of magic was so strange that people naturally immediately thought if there was any magical ritual performed here, including Sheen.
Sheen glanced around.
I saw that in Cosmos, all the buildings seemed to be disrupted, some overlapped, some stood on the street, some leaned, some fell, and some snuggled up to each other and collided, it seemed to be extremely chaotic, and there was no road, only some alleys and alleys between buildings were left to pass.
"It's simply a great place to do bad things."
Sheehan somewhat understood why so many people had been attacked.
can only walk around in such chaotic alleys, so when is it attacked by someone with a heart, isn't it a normal thing?
When the time comes, people drill somewhere else, and the possibility of being caught up is almost zero.
This has become a natural place of crime, and it is not only the people of the kingdom and the empire who are doing things, but also the ordinary people in the city who may take the opportunity to do some illegal things such as robbery.
This, perhaps, is the reason for the lockdown here.
