Chapter 41: Riots
What's the situation? Explode?
Could it be that the magic workshop in the north of the city blew up?
The tent supported by the huge steel frame made a terrifying "crunch" sound, and the rickety steel frame structure seemed to collapse at any moment.
Accompanied by violent shaking and the screeching sound of the steel frame structure, it was followed by the piercing screams of people, and I don't know who said that this place was about to collapse.
In just a few breaths, the auditorium was in chaos, and the sounds of scolding, wailing, and crying converged.
The people kept pushing and shoving, their faces were full of fear, they frantically squeezed towards the entrance, they were afraid, they wanted to escape from this place of right and wrong, for fear that the heavy steel frame above the tent would fall down.
In the crowd, Edward saw a little girl rubbing her eyes and crying, probably lost, crying "Mommy, Mommy".
Edward's face changed, and the crowd was already moving closer to the little girl! With the physique of the little girl, it is estimated that once she hits it, she will be overturned to the ground, and what will happen at that time is definitely what Edward does not want to see.
Edward didn't hesitate, he took a big step and squeezed away the panicked people around him, grabbed the little girl's hand, and pulled her into his arms.
Edward's right hand that shimmered with a faint milky white light stroked the little girl, and under the soothing of the holy power, the little girl who had been crying because of fear finally stabilized, and she opened her big watery eyes and looked curiously at the big brother with a solemn face in front of her.
What do the people of the Flash Church do? What are the emergency measures that should be in place when this happens under normal circumstances!? Edward didn't look at the little girl, he just held the little one firmly in his arms.
Edward stood still, he was like a reef under the waves, no matter how crowded people were, Edward couldn't move a single step!
Edward is very decisive, since the Flash Church has not yet responded, then it is up to him to make an emergency, Edward will not care if he will steal the limelight from their church at the temporary residence of the Flash Church at this critical moment.
Because at this moment, in Edward's perception, someone had already fallen to the ground, and the stampede was about to happen! These rioters must be stopped, and they must be calmed down immediately, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!
Edward raised his hand and pulled out a silver cane out of nowhere, and under the surprised gaze of little Lori, Edward tapped the cane and tapped it on the ground.
Boom!
It was a very slight sound, but for some reason it reached the ears of everyone present.
The next moment, milky white circles of light suddenly rose from where Edward had struck.
In my name, magic. Group blessings!
A faint golden glow flashed under Edward's eyes, and a large range of divine magic instantly descended on this chaotic makeshift performance venue.
A little milky white light submerged into people's bodies, and the people who had been in panic froze in an instant, and the fear gradually subsided, and reason returned again.
Just as Edward's blessing magic spread to the audience, the Flash Church finally moved, and several people in priest robes hurriedly released the magic used to stabilize people's hearts, but as soon as they acted, they found that their movements were a little redundant.
Edward's magic range directly enveloped the audience, including Edward, a person from the Flash Church, and they all gave them a blessing!
At the same time, more than a dozen people fell to the ground, and the already desperate people were also surprised to find that the expected stampede did not happen to them, and a thin golden light curtain protected them!
Fortunately, there is no need to use too strong a holy shield here, as long as it can prevent the stampede from happening. With this, Edward easily held up more than a dozen holy shields to protect those who fell to the ground.
The people of the Flash Church didn't blame Edward for stealing their limelight, the Flash Paladin, who was the most powerful in the Flash Church, just glanced at Edward gratefully, and then nodded to Edward, and decisively began to make refuge arrangements.
"Don't mess up, please rest assured, even if the steel frame above collapses, I will stand on it! Please follow the arrangements of our church staff and leave the venue in an orderly manner! ”
Although the sound of explosions, the "creaking" sound of the steel frame, and the earthquake still did not stop, the words of the flash paladin still easily broke through people's psychological defenses.
The flyer of the Flash Church clearly states that this male protagonist is a real fourth-order paladin.
Fourth-order paladin, that is a powerful existence that can fight with powerful demonic beasts, even if the steel frame falls, it is estimated that it will be easy for the other party to block it.
The crowd, who had been a little worried, relaxed, and calmly obeyed the instructions of the Flash Church staff and walked towards the gate in batches.
There was no more crowding, and the evacuation operation was suddenly faster.
At that moment, a high-decibel scream caused everyone to turn their heads in unison, only to see a woman in brown clothes screaming and running towards Edward.
When the little Lori in Edward's arms heard this familiar scream, she quickly looked back, and she saw her mother rushing towards her, and immediately let out a surprise cry: "Mom! ”
"Baby! My baby! ”
The woman rushed to Edward with open arms, and the little Lori who was being held by Edward immediately let go of her hand and threw herself into her mother's arms.
"Baby, I'm scared my mother to death, and my mother thought she would never see you again. Great, really great! The plainly dressed woman hugged the little girl tightly, and tears couldn't stop falling, which was both a fear and a surprise.
"Mom, don't cry. It's not good to cry! The little girl was very well-behaved, she reached out a little clumsily to wipe her mother's tears, and then the little girl seemed to think of something, and pointed to Edward behind her, "Mom, it was this big brother who saved me." ”
"Ah, yes, I haven't thanked anyone yet." The plainly dressed mother wiped away the tears on her face, picked up the little girl directly and walked to Edward, and then bent down deeply, "Thank you, thank you Your Excellency, if it weren't for you, I don't know what I would do in the future, after all, the baby is all I have." ”
"It's fine. Such a cute little guy, you will have to watch it in the future. Edward picked up the mother who had been lucky enough to find her daughter, and with a kind smile on his face, he raised his hand and foot to scratch the little girl's nose, "You must follow Mother in the future, little one." ”
Little Lori looked at the smiling Edward, raised her little hand and compared Edward's height, Little Lori pursed her mouth, frowned cutely, and pricked Edward's heart with a childish soft voice, saying: "Jenny is not small, obviously my brother is not much older than Jenny." ”
Looking at the movements of the little Lori, Edward, who was already complaining about his height, froze at that time.
Seeing Edward's stunned appearance, little Lori's mother gently flicked the little guy's head at that time, and little Lori covered her head in pain and pouted her mouth.
The little one's mother smiled awkwardly at Edward and said again, "Thank you again, thank you for saving this little one." ”
"It's fine." Edward sighed helplessly, with his peaceful temperament, how could he compete with others, and the other party was still a little Lori.
"Your Excellency, what is your church, I will definitely visit you later, thank you very much."
“…… Well, I'm Gu Ya......" Before Edward's words were finished, Edward suddenly found an incomparably evil and depraved aura within his perception range, Edward's face changed, he quickly grabbed the mother and daughter in front of him, and said with a solemn expression, "Wait! Don't walk around, follow me, something doesn't seem right outside! ”
