Chapter 124: Response
There was collective silence.
According to the information gathered by many parties after the tragic incident that year.
The "Dead Soul Box" is actually the toy of Percell, the "God of Opera", who has degenerated into an evil god, and who loved the laughter and all the good art of mankind as a good god before the fall!
But after the accidental Fall, He began to chase all kinds of negative emotions that belong to human beings, anger, sadness, selfishness, loss, timidity, despair, hatred, jealousy, low self-esteem, greed... And draw strength from it!
Driven by instinct, He wantonly causes disasters among mankind and directs tragedy after tragedy! The more painful and miserable a mortal is, the greater the power He can draw from it.
Eight years ago.
He was both the object of the Wells family's sacrifice and the source of their destruction.
The "Dead Soul Box" was also created by him based on the characteristics of this evil god, and if it was just thrown in an uninhabited place, the box without autonomous action might not be very harmful.
But once the box is opened, seven "killers" with various weird abilities will be released (seven is considered the most magical number, in fact, many mysterious creations and witchcraft rituals are associated with the number seven), and they will follow the established rules to kill people like crazy!
At first, the "killers" only had the power of junior transcendents, and the objects of hunting were only limited to ordinary people.
But as time goes on and the number of victims increases, the abilities of the seven "killers" will also become stronger. If left unchecked, let it grow freely, it only takes seven days a week to naturally break through to the transcendent third order comparable to the human great knight!
At that time, they will also become a real transcendent calamity, and it is only a matter of time before the seven Great Knight-level powerhouses let go of their hands and destroy a city.
What's more, the place "Port Newinn" is a little special...
The tragedy had already happened once eight years ago, but fortunately, there was a super-level powerhouse who intervened in time to avoid a greater disaster.
And this time?
Facing the questions of the archons.
Charlie, a representative of the Royal Naval College, responded positively:
"President Princeton's words are proof! And I've already brought you the information, whether you want to believe it or not.
It's just that I want to remind you once again that unlike eight years ago, Her Royal Highness Crown Prince Levina is here watching you!"
His words made everyone present instantly stunned.
"Huh——, I don't have a problem! In order to avoid causing panic, I think we should temporarily block the news and send more people to search for the hiding places of the 'murderers' and the 'dead soul box'!"
The consul used his authority to suppress the crowd of people who were talking about it, and the final word was directly settled.
"Seconded!The power of the 'killer' is not something that ordinary people can deal with, whether it is outside or at home, whether it is hiding or hiding cannot change the outcome. ”
We must address the root cause of the incident as soon as possible to prevent further harm. ”
"Seconded ..."
"Human lives can be sacrificed, but factories cannot be stopped, shops cannot be closed, and economic lifelines cannot be broken!" the gentlemen seconded one after another, but only this heartfelt sentence could not be pronounced by anyone...
"I order, with the Raven troops as the main force, with the city guards assisting. Carry out non-stop patrols from now until you find the damn box and solve the source! Then the archon said solemnly to Diesel, the chief of the Raven Clans.
"It's incumbent!"
Diesel stood up again and saluted, although his hair was gray, his words were loud, giving everyone present a very solid sense of security.
"I have another question, although the number of killers is only seven, they have been at the level of transcendents since their birth, and only transcendents can fight against transcendentals.
I don't mean to offend, but the Immortals of the Raven Forces and the City Guards aren't enough to fight them, right?
And these monsters are getting stronger by the day, where are we going to draw enough transcendents to defend our city?"
The representative of the city defense committee, who had not spoken, raised his own questions at this time. His concerns are also very reasonable, today everyone may only face seven transcendent primary murderers, the strength of the guards is enough, but what about tomorrow or even the day after tomorrow?
Today is already the second day, and if they are unlucky enough to find them out in time, they will face the seven great knights in five days.
Even during this period, they had to face two levels of enemies, the Senior Transcendent and the Peak Extraordinary, and the gap between each level was very huge.
"The Church will send members of the Iron Wall Knights and Demon Hunters to help!"
"The Sea Hunter Guild will mobilize union members to gather information in a timely manner!"
"The First Fleet will send officers who have no mission into the city to assist in the defense!"
"The Noble Union will support some of the private soldiers!"
Representatives of the major forces have spoken out in support, and the current situation is no longer something that can be handled by one party alone. If you deal with the expansion of adverse disasters, no one should want to run. Even if you run away, with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince watching, don't think about staying in the Kingdom of Pharytis anymore.
Then they also turned their eyes to the representative of the Royal Naval College who did not speak, although the principal of Princeton is the Dinghai Divine Needle of "Port Newinn" and cannot be moved lightly, but there is a force in the academy at this time, which is not weak, and can be used as a new force.
"Your Excellency Charlie, I remember that the latest officer training course of your school is still going on, right?"
......
In the evening.
"Teacher, is this the Raven Bazaar? ”
Dressed in a black robe, Angel pulled the corner of Aven's coat and walked through the crow market in Newinn Harbour.
Although she is much more cheerful now, the habits she has developed all year round still make her a little timid in crowded places.
A lizard with two heads, a bird with colorful feathers that can speak, a strange plant that looks like a human hand, a metal golem that can move on its own... She was dazzled by the variety of "goods" in the crow market that were rarely seen by the outside world.
The two of them came at the height of the Raven Bazaar.
"Angel, you can choose one thing before we leave, and you will be rewarded for becoming a wizard's apprentice!"
Worthy of her talent, at this time, Angel had successfully completed the activation of her spiritual power through the first meditation and officially stepped into the ranks of wizards. Although he is still only a junior apprentice, he already has a completely different future than he used to.
"Really, teacher?" Angel was surprised when she heard this, no matter how mature and sensible she was, she couldn't change the essence of her child.
Ai Wen put down a stone sculpture with the indigenous style of the New World in his hand and patted her head gently: "Of course it's true." ”
"Yummy!"
In the next "shopping", the little girl showed her talent as a woman. It seems that he has obtained the buff bonus of "Energy MAX", and he is so aggressive that he has to visit almost every stall in the Raven Market.
Evan didn't deliberately stop her.
Although this is mainly a gathering place for the transcendents of the legal system, it is rare to see materials and artifacts that are too evil or dangerous, at least not on the surface. Don't worry too much about Angel accidentally encountering unmanageable dangers.
"Huh, Violet Eyes?"
