Chapter 157: The Death Inn (Part II)
There is no doubt about it.
The "inspector" sent by the Waste Development Bureau to test Robert was definitely not normal.
He was not in the position of a fair and impartial inspector, but was hostile to Roland and his party from the beginning.
Roland stood with his back to the crowd, his eyes cold.
In the hands of the staff of the Waste Bureau, the witchcraft of the Old City can only be used to detect suspected "faction hiding" - such as those with the "noble hypocrisy" trait of Roland.
The sorcery of this virtual scenario can test their true camp through their attitude towards a ruined inn.
Now go back and think about the witchcraft of the "old city" -
Using a historically destroyed building as a cast material will recreate the scene from the time before the building was destroyed. If the danger of destruction is not resolved before the "countdown" reaches zero, it will be destroyed along with the building as if you were in history.
In other words, the way to escape the illusion is to "see through the hidden crisis" and "solve it zealously".
Roland had thought that with his years of experience, he would be able to see through this illusion easily, but now Roland finally realized that it was impossible.
Just as you can't wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep, it's impossible to solve a puzzle without an answer.
After the inspector unleashed this witchcraft on Roland and his party with the help of the magic circle of the Waste Bureau, he immediately greatly distorted the "plot" of the inn itself, so that Roland and the others saw a corpse as soon as they entered, and there was no "NPC" who could ask and provide information.
The purpose of this inspector is to prevent Robert from using the NPC hints to remind him of the history of the inn. And take the opportunity to dispel the illusion.
After all, Robert said that he often came to Iron Curtain City. Suppose he saw in the newspaper the news that the "Gargoyle Inn" had been destroyed for some reason while he was riding in the car. Or if you happen to hear about it during the conversation, then the inspector's painstaking method of killing is over before it begins.
He, or so on, she was the one she was aiming at in the first place. It was Robert, whom he considered "well-informed". However, after Roland said that he had seen similar witchcraft, the inspector immediately panicked.
In order to make Roland panic in the first place, he immediately set up a series of targeted organs based on Roland's understanding of this witchcraft and the "identity of a woman".
In Roland's guess, the man should have been aiming at the sound of the door at first, and the moment he walked behind the door, a flashing black-clad murderer and a funny game of eyeballs and plasma shooting all over the face made Roland panic - preferably screaming and falling to the ground.
However, he was clearly disrupted by Robert's "heroic act".
In fact, by the same time that Robert was blown back by the Aerial Blast, the chain of fears had lost its power.
It was only then that Roland realized that this inspector had his own thoughts.
Because even though Robert was a spy sent by Titan, he was noble. The White Tower can't kill him directly. Otherwise, with his flaws, the waste bureau would have killed him more than ten times.
That's why the Waste Bureau came to monitor and probe the people Robert had come into contact with.
Under normal procedures, Roland and the others should enter a hotel with no plot changes, and then discover the "signs of disaster" inside the hotel without knowing anything about their situation, and solve them, preventing the disaster from coming.
In this way, Roland and the others will naturally survive. And if they don't save them when they die, or even fall into the well, then it means that they are by no means professionals on the good side.
And a non-good side of the profession somehow bypassed the camp detection barrier at the city gate and quietly blended into the White Tower. He also met with Robert, a spy - if he was innocent, he would be humiliating the intelligence of the staff of the Waste Bureau.
However, the old city is not allowed to be used for witchcraft to kill. The Waste Bureau is not bad at this means of killing.
Anvilia's remarks to the drunkard director are one side and another. The Old City is the core defense of one of the three fortresses of the White Tower, while inspecting those who are initially suspicious.
The only fortification in Shirahara City is the large Old City Enchantment that envelops the entire city. And everyone knows that Baiyuan City has a large illusion barrier that envelops the whole city and has an unknown effect - in a sense, because of this illusion with unknown effect. It's more feared than here in Iron Curtain City.
In fact, there are not many cosmetic items with the Void Resistance effect. Especially Bansar and Elkart. In case any survivor reveals the news of the Old City, it will be for Elkart's undead legion. The southern fortress of the White Tower was as weak as a nightingale stripped of its clothes and given enough money, without the slightest ability to resist.
Moreover, with the means of the White Tower, extracting memories from corpses is just commonplace.
Even if the people who came really had bad intentions, while using the Old City to annihilate them in the void, it meant that there was no possibility of extracting the information contained in the corpse.
At the same time, An Ruosi, who is closer to Roland, is a disciple of the Star Caller. With his identity, even if he is investigated, he will definitely be placed under house arrest before the public investigation, rather than being inexplicably imprisoned in the "Old City" that has tampered with the plot.
Connect these threads, and the truth will be revealed.
It's just a trainee wizard who has just graduated and joined the Waste Bureau, and wants to use this half-known weapon of murder to make a personal vendetta against Robert and Ann Jos.
Roland and the three of them were just implicated. To use a more upscale word -- that's called extinguishing.
"Is it a personal vendetta......
Roland muttered, turned around and asked loudly at An Ruosi and Robert without hesitation: "An Ruosi! Mr. Robert! Is there a wizard in the White Tower who has ever had a grudge with the two of you at the same time? β
What he got was unexpected.
Anros and Robert glanced at each other, and then looked at Roland with complicated eyes.
ββ¦β¦ A grudge against the two of us...... A lot. β
In the end, it was Robert who spoke first.
"Oh?" Roland looked horrified, "Mr. Robert...... Why does Ann Ruosi offend people too? β
This time it was Robert who looked at Roland and then at Anrusi, and was still speechless.
ββ¦β¦ Yes, Natalia's question ......"
An Ruosi hesitated. But as soon as he heard him say a beginning, Roland understood what the situation was.
But because of this, the anger in Roland's heart was even more intense.
ββJust because of this little thing between boyfriend and girlfriend, Roland was shot in the face by brains and eyeballs?
Not only that, but he also wants to kill Roland directly!
"It's really a young age to not learn well......"
Roland's eyes were cold, and the dimness in his eyes finally turned into a huge eyeball phantom that jumped out of his eye socket and projected behind Roland.
"So Anros, is there anyone who has a great affection for Natalia and at the same time a considerable ill affection for you and Mr. Robert? Oh yes, it's better to be a sword wizard who is familiar with witchcraft, the kind that just graduated a few months or even weeks ago-"
"Huh?"
Ann and Robert aren't stupid either.
Hearing Roland ask this level, the two of them suddenly realized something.
ββ¦β¦ There really is one. β
An Ruosi frowned and nodded: "That person's name is ......"
Before he could speak clearly, a loud explosion sounded from the ceiling interrupting him.
Suddenly, several huge chandeliers smashed to the ground. The candle flame toppled over, and the flames ignited the entire wall.
A pungent smell suddenly spread through the sealed inn, and the temperature in the air began to rise.
Roland laughed instead.
"Knowing that you have been exposed, you are angry and want to kill us directly."
His voice was cold and pleasant: "You are taking this stupid and reckless idea...... Is it called decisive? β
As if in response to Roland's taunt, the floor beneath his feet exploded!
"Herlan!"
Robert exclaimed.
As soon as he raised his right hand to cast a spell, he turned around and saw An Ruosi looking at Roland being drowned by the explosion with a flat face and feeling nothing, and couldn't help but shout angrily: "An Ruosi, you ......"
"Rest assured. With this level of heat, she will be fine. β
Ann Ruosi turned around and patted Robert on the shoulder as if nothing had happened.
Before Robert could understand what he meant, a bone-chilling icy wind swept through the place where Roland had been standing before.
"You idiot, you want me to teach you............" Roland's voice came from the wind, but it was colder than the cold wind-
"-What do you mean, an instant explosion?" (To be continued......)
