Chapter 497: The Aftermath Fades Away
An unprecedented "battle" is over, the civilians have broken through the cathedral defenses, the former high priests have been dragged out of the church to bear the wrath of the people, the accumulated anger of the civilians has been vented, justice seems to have been served, and everything seems to have settled.
But for the leaders and makers of all this, there's a lot more to follow.
After the battle in the Luan Cathedral, the White Knights immediately took action, they first gathered various teams of volunteer mercenaries and adventurers to ensure the order of all armed teams, and then began to organize people to carry out the food stored in the various warehouses in the church area, and transported it to the square for on-site distribution.
It was only after the entry of the Cecil Combat Corps into the city that the situation could be said to have stabilized initially.
Amber and Wright left the basement of the cathedral and they flanged ?? The remnants of B. Braun's robes were shown to the populace, telling them that the sinful bishop had been completely annihilated by the White Knight's light - though many regretted not seeing Fran with their own eyes?? B. Braun's death, but such a result was enough to make the people rejoice, after all...... Considering the reality of the extraordinary power of this world, expect Flang?? It was unrealistic for Béran to die under the stones and clubs of the people, and from the point of view of safety and security, a surprise assassination of Bishop Luan by an elite team of white knights was itself part of the plan.
After doing this, Amber and Wright did not stop in the square, but soon found themselves in a nondescript house on the edge of the church district.
It was an unremarkable house from the outside, but the soldiers and two white knights guarding the door were enough to explain what was special about it, and Amber pushed the door in, and sure enough, he saw the tall, familiar back in the hall.
"Did you sneak in," Miss Half-Elf walked over with a big grin, patting Gawain's arm with a snap, "I'll just say, you don't want to hide in the rear for such an important matter......
Gao Wen, who was dressed in military uniform, sensed the other party's breath long before Amber entered the room, he turned around and looked at Amber with a little crying and laughing: "What do you mean by sneaking in...... Can you not use your jargon when describing me? ”
Amber hugged her arms and said: "I obviously followed the team into the city, but I haven't shown up until now, it's not a sneak." ”
The corners of Gawain's mouth twitched, and he looked helplessly at this MIA leader who had just made a great contribution - obviously according to the previous mission report and the actual situation in Lu'an City, this half-elf had been working diligently for so many days, and he was shrewd and capable of controlling everything, he thought that he would be able to see a mature and reliable amber in this way, but he didn't expect that this guy would still be the same after meeting......
How to say it, I feel that she was still a ruthless and cunning agent leader when she walked outside half a minute ago, and then as soon as she entered the door just now, she suddenly turned into a goose, and swayed to her side, stretched her head over, and began to keep bab......
Annoying, underwhelming, and unself-conscious.
"Hey, why don't you speak?" Amber saw that Gawain was silent for a while, and sure enough, she began to bab again, "No, is it possible that you really go to your heart...... Didn't you mean you sneaked into the city......"
Gawain quickly shook his head, throwing out the picture of "a goose bbbb in front of him" in his mind, he glanced at Amber: "This is a very dangerous and unpredictable operation - civilians go to storm the cathedral of the transcendental, even if there are white knights and a large number of volunteer mercenaries as the vanguard, it is too easy to get out of control, especially the flange you mentioned earlier??" What is suspicious about B. Braun...... It's necessary for me to come and press the formation myself in case of accidents. ”
Hearing Gawain's words, Amber was slightly stunned, her pointed ears twitched slightly, and a strange smile appeared on her face: "It's really ......"
"What is it?"
"Nothing," Amber shook her head, "that flange??" B. Braun did have a strange situation, and frankly it was a bit dangerous at the time, but luckily it was just a false alarm - big man, what about the crystal? ”
Wright had been standing quietly beside him since just now and did not say a word, and at this moment he heard Amber calling himself, and he didn't care about the nickname that the other party gave him, but stepped forward and took out the pale golden crystal that still emitted a faint glow from the container he carried, as if it was cast of light: "Lord, this is it." ”
Gawain took the crystal with some surprise: "This is ...... What is it? ”
Amber spread her hands: "Believe it or not, this is Flange??" The wreckage of B. Braun...... The rest of his body had been burned by the Light, and this was the only thing left. ”
Gawain was taken aback - how did the Holy Light Bishop of the Otherworld return the relics after burning them? Could it be a flange?? B. Braun was still a monk......
However, he didn't say what was in his heart, but looked at Amber with a strange expression: "What happened?" ”
Amber cleared her throat and began to tell her and Wright's story in a colorful voice: "That's the case, we found ...... underground"
Gawain frowned slightly, listening carefully to every detail of Amber's description, and after removing the shameful and boastful part of this embarrassing elf, he slowly restored the killing flange in his mind. B. Braun's entire operation went through.
Then he couldn't help but feel a little emotionally at the death of the temporary bishop of Luan.
Looks like that flange?? B. Braun did prepare an ambush in the prayer room, he got the strange power out of nowhere, and arranged a killing move in the room, but he obviously didn't guess the white knight's action process - the white knights directly skipped the link of "stepping into the secret room to disarm the mechanism and meet the enemy", and chose to blow up the entire secret room before entering, so the flange who was ambushed?? B. Braun was blown up half to death before he could act......
Then this half-dead guy pretended to be trying to resurrect and wanted to ambush again, but he miscalculated again - Amber believes in the essence, Wright can break the mental steel seal by himself, and the other white knights are also scary men who have received Protestant teachings and are highly resistant to the god of light, Fran?? B. Braun's last ripple was replaced by loneliness, and then he was completely killed.
To tell the truth, it's quite embarrassing to die, it's better to be stoned to death by the common people in the cathedral, then at least you can get a newspaper, and if you have a good posture, you might even be able to read the textbook......
I feel even more aggrieved when I think about it.
After Amber finished speaking, and Wright added some details to the side, Gawain looked at the crystal in his hand and fell into thought.
This crystal is indeed "dead", but it still exudes a slight heat and light, and countless changing phantoms can be faintly seen in that glimmer, just like a flange?? Bérang's hollow soul still echoed in the crystal, refusing to admit his death in vain, and when Gawain pointed the translucent crystal at the sun, he would see through the crystal that the surface of the great sun was covered with a faint layer of ripples—
This phenomenon of observing the ripples of the sun wheel through the crystal proves that the crystal has strong magical coherence, it is a crystallization born in a strong magical environment, and it also contains stable magic.
Can human flesh and blood really produce such crystals?
Or is it ...... Flange?? B. Braun tried to use a certain crystal-state artifact to increase his power, but the ritual failed and he turned into a monster mixed with flesh and crystal?
Or ...... In fact, at that time, the flange?? B. Braun just stood behind the gate with a magic weapon made of crystal, ready to wait for the intruder to push the door in, but as soon as the door opened, the white knight unreasonably threw a large pile of explosives inside, blowing him and the crystal evenly......
Gawain couldn't help but shudder, he felt that his third hypothesis was too demonic and ghostly, although it seemed very emotional to diverge his thinking in this direction, but in such a world of swords and magic, it was better to think according to the local painting style.
Seeing the changing expression on Gawain's face, Wright couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Do you have any ideas?" ”
"I didn't think ...... for a while," Gawain said, but as soon as he was halfway through his words, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, as if he had caught a clue that he had almost ignored, "Wait...... I think I'm remembering......"
Amber and Wright immediately fell silent, and Gawain finally managed to grasp the flashing message after thinking for a moment: "Do you remember, both Carmel and Nicholas Egg described the initial 'gods' created by the Gondor Empire - one of the characteristics of the original 'gods' failure was that crystal ...... grew out of human flesh and blood?"
"Iniquity?" Amber's eyes widened, "You mean...... Flange?? B. Braun's attempt to transform himself into a god? ”
Gawain thought carefully: "Not necessarily...... I suspect it's just a byproduct of some kind of failed attempt. According to the information provided by Carmel, all human descendants of Gondor actually have the genetic factor of divine iniquity, in other words, as long as the external stimulus is appropriate, perhaps every human being can become 'divine'...... It's just that the Gondor Empire's divine sin technology finally succeeded, they stabilized and harmless this genetic factor, and safely implanted it into the human body, so there has never been an out-of-control divine evil phenomenon among ordinary people for thousands of years, but who can guarantee that it will never mutate? ”
Amber and Wright both looked thoughtful, and Gawain sighed softly, "It's a pity...... There are no clues left, and we may never be able to figure out the flange?? What happened to B. Braun...... How could a mid-level priest suddenly gain such power? ”
A hint of apology appeared on Wright's face: "Lord, our actions were too reckless......"
"No, your actions are fine, that is indeed the best plan, the destruction of clues is unavoidable, after all, it is a battlefield," Gawain waved his hand, "And Falan?? B. Braun's deification is just a conjecture of mine - it's a good thing you've found this crystal, and I can take it back for Kamel to identify, and maybe I'll find some clues. ”
After putting the matter aside for a moment, Gawain exhaled, and a smile appeared on his face as he looked at Amber and Wright in front of him.
"All in all, everything went well, you guys did a good job."
Wright immediately straightened up and said solemnly, "The light guides me. ”
Amber waved her hand: "This matter is not over yet, there may be chaos in Lu'an City in the future, and those rookies are busy." ”
Gawain nodded slightly, he knew that everything was exactly as Amber had said—the events in Lu'an City might have come to an end, but the subsequent pacification and reconstruction work had just begun.
Angry people destroyed the oppression of the clergy community in a stormy action, but without timely and effective follow-up guidance and order-building, such actions could easily turn into out-of-control atrocities and long-term turmoil. Now, thanks to the efforts of the White Knights, Cecil soldiers, and civilian representatives, the first phase of order and stability has been carried out smoothly, and the operation did not turn into an out-of-control atrocity on the spot, but whether the city will be plunged into prolonged turmoil after that depends on the work of the MIA operatives and the propaganda department.
In order to rebuild the main urban functions of Lu'an in the shortest possible time, it is necessary to set up a new governance team that can be recognized by the locals, to integrate the city into the Cecil system as soon as possible, and to publicize the affairs of Lu'an as soon as possible, to discover the positive impact of this operation as much as possible, and to be vigilant against the sabotage and counterattack of the diehards of the old church......
There's a lot to do, but the hard part has been overcome.
