Chapter 166: Danger lurks
In the slum tavern, in the bright lights, an emergency meeting is underway.
After listening to the methods of many people to deal with ghosts, the great knight Antunia silently kept them in his heart, and judged the feasibility of the matter through his own knowledge and the officials around him.
Suddenly noticed that Allen, who was sitting in the distance, didn't say a word, and wondered slightly. Just after talking about it, it can be seen that this warlock boy has extraordinary knowledge, and the warlock is already proficient in soul blood, why should this young man miss a good opportunity to give advice.
So Mr. Grand Knight looked at Alan and said, "Mr. Allen, do you have any suggestions?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Allen, and after discovering that the person who asked the question was actually a young blood elf warlock, many people lost their interest. Alan didn't expect Antunia to suddenly ask himself, feeling the eyes of everyone, Alan smiled helplessly.
So he said, "Pay attention to one thing. ”
"Skeleton Legion!"
When they heard this, the crowd fell silent! But in my heart I knew what Eren was referring to.
Yes, since more than two years ago, the Golden City began to have skeleton rebellion, including the Mage Academy and the Peric Legion, and the Golden City has been tracking down for two years without any significant results.
Now that the ghosts are in turmoil, everyone is only focused on the possessed ghost, ignoring the possibility of the skeleton army reappearing. No one knows where the skeleton legion came from. So is it possible for the group of skeletons that have been in turmoil all year round to make a comeback in this lifeless place?
But everyone realizes that if the Skeleton Legion does attack, the blockade in the slums may be caught off guard by now, and there will be more casualties among the slums.
For a moment, everyone began to panic and rethink their countermeasures.
And at this very moment. After receiving a hurried report from his subordinates, Antunia's face immediately changed, and he came to the side of Grand Duke Enriquez: "Lord of the city, according to the report, a group of skeleton undead have appeared in the slums right now, and the number is unknown!" ”
Afraid of what. Come on!
I was really hit by Alan's words!
Hearing this, Enriquez stood up suddenly, and immediately said: "Send more people, control the scene, and don't let the skeleton army spread." Remember that there can be no more mass casualties! ”
Hearing this, many people gasped. In tonight's meeting, no one thought about the skeleton and the possessed ghost, and the sudden incident that broke out at the moment showed that everyone's vision was still too narrow. For a while, when everyone looked at Allen's eyes, they were a little different, and many people were secretly curious in their hearts, who was this warlock boy, and he had such a predictive ability.
Someone else recognized that this warlock boy was the same child who helped Cayton get out of the attack a while ago, and in just a few minutes, Allen's reputation soared.
The impromptu emergency meeting in the bar didn't last long. The situation changed suddenly, and Grand Duke Enriquez ordered. Ask the Golden City garrison to enter. As soon as the group entered it, they were immediately attacked by skeletons, and a street battle that had never been fought before began without warning.
But half an hour, the situation came frequently.
"Lord Castle, the situation in the slums is very bad. Now, are we going to let all the adventurers in the room enter? Antunia asked eagerly.
Enriquez thought for a moment, and quietly spoke about the proposal of the adventurers.
"First of all, it is feasible to divide the area, you are all good adventurers in the Golden City, and I believe that with your help. The cavalry team is sure to win. Also, I've noticed the proposal from the Priest of the Temple of Light, but as far as I know, no one in the Golden City is currently able to cast the Wheel of Light, so this proposal is just talk. ”
"I'm here to suggest that the Temple of Light, if it has the heart, can use the Divine Rain to inflict a sustained drop on the undead in the slums." Enriquez has been in a high position for a long time, and his knowledge is not low, and he is obviously somewhat aware of the careful thoughts of the Temple of Light.
Hearing the city lord say such words, the temple priest hesitated slightly, although the "holy rain" can cause continuous damage to the undead, but the cost of casting it is extremely high, and it is somewhat wasteful to drop such a holy rain in the slums to satisfy this group of useless people at the bottom.
The reason why the priest of the temple dared to propose the wheel of light with a high profile was nothing more than to gain a good reputation for the temple, after all, it would not really be used. But now, the city lord took the initiative to lower his requirements and let the temple have a sacred rain, but the priest hesitated. It's not that the Temple of Light can't cast the Divine Rain, but if it does, in this crisis, the Temple of Light won't be able to take advantage of anything at all, and it can really only gain a small reputation.
For pastors who have already amassed wealth, this is obviously a bit difficult to accept. But the words have been spoken, and now that Enriquez has been named, the temple priest has been generalized, and there is a bit of a dilemma.
Enriquez obviously noticed the change in the temple priest's expression, but it was the temple's responsibility to expel the ghosts, and Mr. City Lord felt the temple's perfunctory, and now he wanted to beat the people of the temple and make them contribute more.
"In addition, I declare that from now on, the slums will be evacuated within 10 kilometers of the ghost activity area, and all the slums in this area must be evacuated." Enriquez said.
As the meeting in the bar was in full swing, the dark elf Fluffy led a few people to the slums.
After learning that Alan was still attending a meeting at the bar, Jock looked a little impatient. With the air of death, Jock could tell that the atmosphere was exactly the same as it had been when the circus was attacked that day. In other words, he ran into the group that had taken Edith captive.
The head of the chock group waited outside the bar for a while, but there was no trace of Allen, and he grinned: "The opponent is in the slum right now, if you don't go in to find it, what will you talk about here." Jock was a little incomprehensible.
At the moment, he no longer waits for Allen and leads the game. Although the guards who blocked the streets of the slums were tall and tall, they could not stop the head of Chock, only to see the figure of a clown jumping into the block, and everyone tried to chase after him, but there was no shadow.
Seeing that Mr. Regiment Commander had already entered the scene, the druids and others did not wait, and entered the block one after another.
Although this scene came suddenly, the city lord ordered that the core area of the ghost chaos was open to adventurers to enter, so everyone didn't think much about it and continued to guard the scene.
Inside the bar.
The majestic Enriquez continued: "The stakes are so high that the City of Gold has now made a promise to the citizens that it will banish the ghosts and apprehend the real culprits within 24 hours. Those who control the ghosts, 10,000 bounty coins, those who have a title will be given a piece of the viscounty's land, and those who do not have a title will be given a viscount! ”
Such a generous reward has not been seen in many years!
Before the battle, there was no need for too long a discussion, and after a short mobilization, all the invited adventurers entered the ghostly slum area without exception.
Alan walked out of the bar and saw Fuwei and Odro Dude, and when he heard that Jock's Circus had entered first, Alan smiled helplessly, which was very similar to the style of those guys.
Walking into the slum, Alan felt the crowding of this place again, looking at the small houses one after another, Alan secretly exclaimed, if there is a fire in such a place, I am afraid it will affect many people.
And that's exactly what happened. Twenty years ago, a fire broke out in the slums, killing more than 2,000 people, and many people in the Golden City were held accountable and the aristocratic landscape was greatly changed. If we follow this reasoning, the ghost chaos incident may set off another stormy wave.
Alan walked quietly in the night, thinking about the secret of the ledger he mastered, and couldn't help but feel a little chill in his heart. Of course, at this time, Alan would not know that his most powerful opponent, the Abyss Victor Force, also carried some aristocratic secrets at this time, and was planning to take advantage of such an opportunity to set off a big storm of aristocratic power struggle.
In a remote corner. With the help of a second-order space mage, the old mage led more than a hundred adventurers and quietly entered the field!
Their goal is very clear, take advantage of the skeleton's chaos, quickly find Sterling, and let him take the potion to regain consciousness as soon as possible, so that Victor can use it.
As the forces of all sides enter the arena one after another, no one will realize that a bloody brawl full of miscalculations is about to begin. It's a bloody night in the City of Gold!
On the other hand, in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan to expel the ghosts, under the orders of the high-level officials of the Golden City, the security team began to enter the site and evacuate the crowd, and in just half a day, about 120,000 people were evacuated in the core area of the slum, of which several thousand people have never left the slum in their lives. Short, dirty, undernourished, poorly clothed, and frightened to the sight of tall guards.
The evacuation of the poor was originally a well-intentioned move, but no one expected that the next thing would turn out beyond everyone's expectations. The poor who had been "driven out" of their homes began to develop their anger, turning from slums to mobs, pouring into the Golden City, smashing and venting their anger - there was never a lack of anger in the slums.
In the eyes of the poor, to evacuate them is to deprive them of their last piece of land, wait, what ghosts hurt people, that place, in a year or two, it will definitely become a new commercial area.
"They want to expropriate our land."
"The nobles are going to bulldoze there."
"That wounded ghost was deliberately released!"
Almost overnight, rumors swirled, and by the time everyone reacted, the situation was already somewhat out of control.
The three or four thousand people who died, in addition to the extinction of the whole family, one person affected three or four people, and these poor people who had lost relatives and friends were so angry that they began to become irrational driven by all kinds of rumors.
Fear, suspicion, and anger spread among the poor, gradually forming mob groups, and this momentum seems to have just begun......
