Chapter 1226: Demon! Demon! (below)

Thousands of miles away from Amen, the city of Canso.

Due to its location on the southeast coast, compared to the four distinct seasons of Yamen, the climate of Canso City can be described as unpredictable, and it is not uncommon for a sunny day to turn around and turn around to pour heavy rain, and there is even a view of rain in the east of the city and sunny scenery in the west.

Especially at this time of year, the tropical storm that forms in the Sea of Falling Stars visits Canso once or twice a year, and everyone is used to it.

Today, the sky is as dark as night, and there is rumbling thunder from time to time. The air was so oppressive that you couldn't breathe, and the heat and humidity were torture.

Everyone knows that a heavy rainstorm is coming soon.

Players who were originally waiting to board the ship in the harbor returned to the hotel in disappointment, or arranged dungeons or chatted nonsense, because in this kind of weather, no captain dared to go to sea, it was no longer an adventure, it was simply a death.

However, it was clear that the soldiers who stayed on the walls could not enjoy the leisure that the wine brings.

There is not much threat to the north of Canso City, which is close to the Heavenly Sword Mountains, and there is only a dense jungle below the mountains, although they have heard of the presence of tree elves, they do not pose any threat to Canso City.

In the west, the situation is different.

On the map, there is a piece of land jutting out to the sea to the west of Canso, resembling a small peninsula.

This area is known as the 'Horn of the Lookout', and it is inhabited by a number of lizardmen, who are basically no different from bandits.

If you were to choose the creature that the people of Canso would most like to exterminate, the Lizardmen would definitely bear the brunt.

The Cape of Wanghai is not a large area, but the soil and climate are ideal for growing citrus, so there are many villages where orange trees are grown.

Lizardfolk often raid villages and roads, but due to the complex terrain of Wanghaijiao, which resembles a swamp, it is difficult for the army to enter and destroy them directly, which is really a headache.

Therefore, the soldiers who stayed on the city wall to patrol mostly had their eyes on the west, and they should always pay attention to the distress signal that may fly into the sky, and send rescue in time.

"It's damn weather, I'm soaking wet under my armor!"

One soldier complained, and his companion hastened to signal to shut up. Because the officer was nearby, he didn't want to be scolded.

The ghost weather that was complained about didn't last long, and with a gust of wind, the raindrops fell one after another, and soon the heavy rain obscured the vision.

In the pouring rain, almost everyone was blind, and only with the occasional flash of light across the sky could they barely see clearly.

At this point, the soldiers had no time to complain, because it was obviously a more uncomfortable experience to let the rain flow through the cracks in their armor than in the sweltering heat.

However, as the so-called military orders are like mountains, not to mention rain, even if there are knives in the sky, they cannot leave their posts without orders.

In addition to complaining, it is not without benefits.

In a weather like today, the kitchen will prepare hot broth to ward off the cold and replenish the strength of the soldiers, which is somewhat comforting.

The wilderness in the distance was deep in darkness and torrential rain, and the pouring rain and never-ending thunder obscured all other sounds. The dirt road outside the city became soft and slippery at a speed visible to the naked eye, making it easy to step on it and difficult to pull it out.

The soldiers complained and prayed for their brothers who were going out on patrol in this weather, hoping that they would find shelter before the rain rained, and it would be too bad to encounter lizardmen in the rain.

"Hey! Is there something in the distance? ”

"Don't be surprised, the officer has just left."

Listening to the words of his colleagues, the soldiers looked a little dissatisfied, and at this time, a thunderbolt flashed in the sky, and a vague image in the hazy rain curtain entered the soldiers' field of vision.

They appear to have roughly human-like shapes, but more like distorted black shadows, and it's impossible to see what they are.

Another flash of lightning flashed, and this time the soldiers saw a little clearly, those dark shadows were almost everywhere, and although they were still a little far from the city, they were already very close.

The darkness descended again, it seemed like a long time had passed, or maybe it was just a time for the heart to beat, and the lightning tirelessly pierced the sky again, and the soldiers finally saw those dark shadows, they were shadow demons!

Piercing sirens echoed over Canso, and almost everyone jumped to their feet like they were on fire. Few people noticed that several distress signals were shot into the sky in the direction of the Cape of Wanghai, but even if they did, the city of Canso probably couldn't immediately send someone to rescue them.

Far on the other side of Canso City, in the most powerful city, Lopwen.

Julian breathed a long sigh of relief, stretched his waist on the luxurious chair indulgently, and didn't bother to take the cup of black tea that had already cooled, closed his eyes and pinched his temples to rest.

He was a little overwhelmed by the day's work, and he had more to deal with than he had planned.

However, this is only temporary, and when this busy period is over, Julian can get at least a day or two of free time to take a good rest.

It was pouring rain outside the window, and the noise of the rain was not annoying, and Julian didn't care about it, except that the occasional roar of thunder made the overused brain feel a tingling feeling, which was very unpleasant.

has been linked to the light of the stars, and the preparation to throw off the magic melody at any time has been made, and the aristocracy has been relatively stable recently, Julian deliberately pushed a stunned young man with a little ability and ideas to engage in so-called reforms, and many spearheads have shifted direction recently, and Julian has a rare stability.

And the problem with the Temple of Waukin......

Julian didn't think that the Light of the Stars could find enough evidence to bring them down, and even if there was solid evidence that the Temple of Waujin was related to demons, they could just say that it was just a personal act, and they must be investigated to the end......

It's basically a useless official, but Julian also knows very well that it is absolutely impossible for the Temple of Waujin to be expelled from Lopwen, so it is better to support the church of Tyr, at least it is safer to play a balance tactic.

He had recently received news that a team of adventurers had successfully found the lord of Amen, and as soon as he returned to Amen, the Waujin Temple would have to say something, otherwise he would be driven out by the angry people.

And will the city lord give the Workin Temple a chance to make peace? He has been unhappy with the four major temples in the city for a long time, and with this kind of handle in hand, he may directly take this opportunity to let the Worgold Temple get out of Yamen City.

Whatever he did, it would be a loss for the Temple of Workin, and it was Julian's chance.

The bishop of the Church of Tyre disappeared and was later confirmed dead, but even Tyr, the god of justice, could not determine who had died at the hands of whom.

The absence of a regional bishop was a considerable blow to the church of Tyre, and it was also an irrefutable fact that the church in Wojin was once in the limelight, even though the church in Wojin was well versed in the way of making a fortune in silence.

As the saying goes, Julian's balancing tactics are definitely more slippery than the city lord of Amen.

As Julian pondered how to gain more for himself, Julian heard a sound of heavy, hurried footsteps.

The voice was so distinctive that Julian couldn't forget it.

"Boss! Boss! ”

As expected, the barbarian Tom slammed open the office door, and his voice was loud enough to be heard by the whole city.

"Thom, be quiet, you make my head hurt."

But the barbarian completely ignored Julian's instructions, and continued to shout in a loud voice:

"Boss, something is wrong!"

"Huh?"

"Many demons suddenly appeared outside the city, and the people were very panicked."

"Demons!?"

At this time, Julian was completely sober, but he was also completely confused.

How can there be demons?

Could it be that the Temple of Waujin and Magic Melody are plotting this to summon demons to the mortal world?

Thinking about it, it doesn't seem right, after all, it hasn't been long since the last demon invasion, unless there is still the scale of the last time, otherwise these demons can threaten the villages outside the city, which is not a big city like Lopwen at all.

He was steady, and was about to inquire in detail, when an out-of-breath herald rushed into the office:

"Report, distress signals have come from the seventeen northern counties, and they say that a demon has appeared outside the city!"

A flash of thunder flashed, and Julian suddenly felt that it all seemed to be the beginning of something big.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

A similar situation is playing out in the main world, with the exception of the city of Amen, which has been prepared in advance, and traces of demons have been found in almost all mortal cities.

The sudden appearance of the demon without warning caused a certain panic in the mortal world, but the soldiers and players who rushed up the walls with the guy soon discovered that the demon did not seem to be targeting the city.

They did appear outside the city, but they didn't seem to have any interest in the city, and although they still received reports of attacks on villages, the demons were more likely to gather towards sparsely populated areas.

Far from reassuring mortals, this unusual move made them even more worried.

It is absolutely no accident that the demons are so organized and planned, it is clear that they are planning something, and what it is, people do not know.

Our protagonist in the Sea Clan's territory, Ann Yizhi, is also ignorant of what is happening on land, and there is no post on the forums discussing this, and he was still bothered by Nikolai's words until just now.

Nikolai is crazy, no one knows what he's thinking, but his obsession with apprentices is also quite terrible, and if it wasn't really necessary, he wouldn't leave such a message for An Yizhi.

Ke'an took out the magic ring that had become an ornament and looked over and over again, but he didn't see any use, but considering that Nikolai would never be targeted for no reason, he found a string to wear the magic ring on it and hang it around his neck.

This makes the neck of the already petrified eye necklace and the source of magic pendant a little bloated, in other words, although the necklace can only be worn one, but there is no limit to how many strange things can be hung around the neck, and in the future, if you find one hundred and eighty strange things to hang around your neck, the combat power will definitely soar very terrifying.

It's just that the image is not very promising, a bit like the logo of Michelin tires......
