Chapter 361: Pollution
While Carpenter Hornburg was talking to Leon, Bob had already returned with the carriage, and several players and the search and rescue team arrived in Antimony Town, where they met with the mayor and expressed their desire to visit the church.
With the credit for capturing the Children of the Forest, and the assurances of the wealthy local merchant Carpenter Hornburg, the mayor of the town naturally agreed to the request.
Leon had Bob and Frederick work with the Antimony Regiment to send the Children of the Forest to prison and let the Smoker watch over the Witch of the Forest, while he went to the church with Julia and John and replaced the Magic Mirror with a normal mirror fragment.
After getting the second Magic Mirror fragment, this item also gained new abilities,
[Special Effect: Detection Magic.] Consumes psionic energy to detect psionic fluctuations in the cone area ahead, and marks them directly in the line of sight. The angle and distance of the cone depend on the amount of psionic energy consumed.
The new special effects are quite good, several players tested it, and found that the magic mirror fragment can now detect extremely weak psionic fluctuations up to two thousand meters away,
And within a maximum of ten minutes, the source of psionic energy fluctuations can be directly marked in the line of sight.
It is equivalent to detection + scanning + lock tracking,
Whether it's used to chase or escape, it can be effective.
The second Magic Mirror Fragment is held by Leon,
A few people stayed in Antimony Town for one night, and interrogated a lot of information from the forest witch, but unfortunately, the witch's statement was different from what the players speculated.
The casters of this world are really all innate, similar to abilities, only for individuals, and there is no way to learn or promote,
The way to cultivate is almost to learn how to control this energy.
But the forest witch's knowledge of potions is genuine,
These potions do not make the human body bigger and smaller, or directly turn into rabbits, as described in fairy tales, but are more "realistic".
what relieves fatigue, accelerates healing of trauma,
Enhance energy, strengthen the body,
Loose will, making people tell the truth in a semi-comatose state.
This old woman has a lot of medicinal herbs, plant seeds, and crucible props hidden on her body, and Leon asked her to refine many potions that can make the caster incapacitated, enough for Hans and Gretel to use for a long time.
Then he asked her to write down all kinds of knowledge about herself, and took away all the props on her, including the dirty coat.
Fortunately, Leon still had a bit of discipline in the end, and under the desperate advice of several teammates, he did not let old Dorothy wear a maid costume, but let her wear an ordinary linen cloak.
The next morning, Leon went to Carpenter Hornburg's mansion, handed him the potion, and explained his plans to go to Morley, a city in central Rune that contained the next Magic Mirror fragment.
Carpenter Hornburg said he wanted to go with a few players, and was willing to pay for all the expenses along the way.
He was going to go to the big city to ask for help from the dignitaries he knew, and ask how to solve the problem that his children had become spellcasters-
All casters are required to report to the authorities, and casters who are not documented will be hunted down by the authorities.
Carpenter Hornburg did not intend to report it, but wanted to keep his children on potions for a long time until they lost their talents.
And because there were so many lumberjacks and sons of the forest on the scene at that time, they all saw the scene of Hans and Gretel releasing their abilities,
And these sons of the forest will be handed over to the official department for interrogation in the future.
Carpenter Hornburg was worried that the news would leak out, so he went to the big city in advance to find dignitaries.
Explain the situation, and ask the senior personnel to help him block the news that may be leaked without reporting.
So, Carpenter Hornburg, who has a lot of money, took out two of the latest steam locomotives he had just bought this year (unique to the Kingdom of Rune, very steampunk, slightly faster than a horse-drawn carriage), and drove Leon and others to the central city of Morley in the Kingdom of Rune.
————
The feeling that this city brings to Leon and others is completely different from the previous Hamelin Town and Antimony Town.
If the town is still in the relatively primitive and backward idyllic Middle Ages, then the city of Morley has almost the prototype of a modern city.
The pavement is paved with cut stone tiles, the roadside is lined with electrified street lamps, and the streets are lined with horse-drawn carriages and open-top steam bicycles.
Gentlemen and ladies wore Victorian costumes, and most of them would go out with an umbrella – the city's skies were always overcast, with occasional showers of rain hitting the skin and even making it feel burning.
This may be due to the fact that to the west of the city, a large number of modern factories are housed.
Because several kingdoms have produced awareness of environmental protection and energy conservation and emission reduction earlier than the real world, the pollution emissions of these modern factories are not so exaggerated.
But the black smoke rising from the chimneys still blackened the sky, the air was filled with a slightly choking smell, and the waterways and rivers in the city were not very obvious and green, and there were not many live fish in sight.
Players are quite emotional, in such a world where the wind of PC is prevalent, they can still see such a friendly scene of pollution emissions,
But Carpenter Hornburg was not surprised,
Her Majesty's environmental slogan is just a slogan, and ordinary people really can't resist the matches, soaps, glass, cement produced in modern factories...
There is no doubt that this large modern city has a much stronger defense force than the towns of Hamelin or Antimonyan, as can be seen from the towering walls and the soldiers on the walls.
Li Ang and the others used the magic effect of the magic mirror to detect magic outside the city, and found that there were more than one psionic energy fluctuations in the city, among which the spiritual energy fluctuations around the city hall were the most dense, and there were more than one place.
According to the map, that place should be the official spellcaster department of the Kingdom of Rune, right next to the church.
In this environment, it is difficult to sneak into the church and steal the fragments of the magic mirror, and the slightest mistake will be discovered by these spellcasters.
Even if a player has a lot of tricks and a lot of hole cards, there is no guarantee that they will be able to fight their way out of the siege - what if these casters have backup?
Therefore, after several players discussed, they stayed in a hotel near the cathedral in Molly City in the evening, and continued to interrogate the old Dorothy, the witch of the forest.
and entrusted Carpenter Hornburg to see if he could find dignitaries and dignitaries through his own connections, and arrange an opportunity for Leon and others to enter the church alone.
If Carpenter Hornburg fails... Then Li Ang and the others will have to think of other ways.
