Chapter 238: Hot Air Balloons and the True God Sect
A strange sect began to appear in the city of Tut, they called themselves the Sect of the True God, this sect has not many people, and its whereabouts are very secretive, but in the nobility and high circles of Tut City, a large number of believers quickly gathered.
Every month, in a manor on the outskirts of the city, believers of the True God Sect hold a meeting, at which these nobles give vent to their desires and sacrifice to the True God in a special way.
This kind of 'gathering' full of style immediately attracted a lot of noble women and some knights, and then further influenced the various noble forces, as well as the upper echelons of the city, the influence of the True God Sect, and gradually penetrated into the upper echelons of the Tutan Dynasty, and then came into contact with Tutan, the master of the city-state of Vense.
"You know what? Tutan's decree will impose a five-fold tax on all workshops. ”
"How Tutan suddenly had a major change in his attitude towards alchemists."
"The soldiers have gone to the Akkadian Alchemy Academy, and they have surrounded the entire academy."
A group of cavalry rushed into the Leaning Tower, a large number of soldiers with long swords and skirt armor outside, surrounded the Leaning Tower, a knight with a cloth edict rushed into the Leaning Tower, a large number of soldiers brutally controlled all corners of the hall, and immediately caused chaos inside the Leaning Tower.
"Tutan ordered that all alchemists must go to the palace to report, and after registering, serve Tutan."
Immediately, I saw that there was chaos in the entire Leaning Tower, everyone rushed out and became angry, and a large number of students of the Alchemy Academy and the alchemy assistants of the workshop became at a loss for the sudden change and Tutan's orders.
"We are free people, and we are not slaves of Tutan, so why should we be commanded?"
"That's right, alchemists are free, and you don't have the right to do it here."
"Where do you think this is? This is the Academy of Alchemy. ”
The leading knight glanced at his lips, tilted his head and said, "This is Tutan's order, are you going to disobey Tutan's order?" Betrayal of the Tutans? ”
"Moreover, Tutan has ordered the expropriation of the Akkadian Alchemy Workshop, and the Alchemy Academy must be disbanded immediately, and all of you are no longer employees of the Akkadian Alchemy Workshop, but work for Tutan."
At this time, Arcade and Marina, who had hurried down from above, also came below, and frowned at the large number of soldiers below, as well as the knights surrounding the leaning tower.
The knight who brought Tutan's order also saw Akkadian and immediately stepped forward: "Mr. Akkadian, the king has invited you and your students to the palace as guests. ”
Arcade looked around and let out a hearty laugh, "It's not like you've invited me to be a guest. ”
The knight was a little embarrassed, but Arcade didn't say much, and after looking at his student, he said, "We need to prepare, after all, it's the king's invitation, and we always need to change our clothes, right?" ”
Akkadian's prestige and influence even approached Tutan in Tut City, and the knight did not dare to slack off easily, and immediately waved his hand: "I will wait for Mr. outside, and I hope that Mr. will not make any small moves." ”
The knight was not afraid of Akkad running away, so many people were surrounded, they could still fly out, Akkad watched the soldiers leave, and immediately led the students towards it, Marina immediately said indignantly: "Teacher, what are they doing here?" We cannot afford to sit still. ”
Arcade immediately said, "So what? Fight out, kill Tutan, and then the entire community of alchemists will be ostracized, and the foundation we have spent so many years laying will be destroyed. ”
"The main members are all coming with me, don't move the others, don't resist when they come in, and Tutan won't do anything to these alchemy apprentices and ordinary assistants."
The upper echelons of the Akkadian Alchemy Academy quickly gathered at the top of the Leaning Tower, including the students of Akkadian as well as some alchemy workshop managers and official alchemists, dozens of people gathered here, and pieces of cloth quickly unfolded and connected to the hanging basket.
After that, the hot air balloons were gradually washed up and rose into the sky, and at the top of the leaning tower, one after another, slowly rising, the main members of the tower, riding the hot air balloon, flew into the sky.
When Akkad enters the second level, he can fly at a low altitude, and he doesn't feel much about this, but for other ordinary people, whether it's an alchemist or Marina, they all feel shocked.
This is the first time that human beings have risen to the sky in recorded history, and it is also the first time to conquer the sky, and everyone makes a burst of cheerful sound as the hot air balloon rises.
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
"This is the alchemist, we humans can also fly into the sky, this is our first step to conquer the sky!"
"Alchemist, omnipotent!"
Flying into the sky, overlooking the earth, everything on the ground seemed to become small, this scene made everyone feel that their chests were full of pride, and at the same time, their shouts and movements were immediately noticed by the ordinary people and soldiers under the leaning tower, and everyone raised their heads and noticed that there was suddenly something in the sky.
"Behold the heavens, there are things in the heavens." An ordinary civilian pointed to the sky and opened his mouth wide.
"Fly...... Fly...... Fly! A roadside vendor pointed to the sky, his fingers trembling.
"It's really flying, is this also the alchemy product of an alchemist?"
And the knight who led the soldiers to surround the Leaning Tower changed his face suddenly at this moment, and immediately led people to rush into the Leaning Tower, all the way to the top, but it was too late at this time, they could only stand on the top of the Leaning Tower, watching a dozen hot air balloons, carrying the main members of the Akkadian Alchemy Academy away.
One by one, the soldiers also stood on the top floor of the Leaning Tower, watching the hot air balloon soar into the sky without being mistaken or shocked, while the knight's face turned dark.
The whole city of Tut also became a sensation, everyone came to the street, poked their heads out of the window, watched the hot air balloon fly into the sky above the roof, and even Tutan received the news, and watched Akkad lead everyone to hover in the sky for a while, and then headed south, angrily knocking over the vases and glass crafts in the palace to the ground.
And the burn scar man who followed Tutan, wearing a dark red cloak, was none other than Hekfors, who had been assimilated by demons in the village of Sitti, who lost half of his body and was burned all over his body after being beaten to a half-crippled state by Akad.
Although he gradually recovered his body after suffering greatly with the help of demonic power, the traces left by Akkadian's powerful witchcraft back then were deeply imprinted on his body.
By this time he had become Tutan's personal advisor, and it was he who instigated and controlled Tutan to the Workshop and all the alchemists in his hands.
Only in this way can Tutan turn the alchemists into his own power, let their wealth and abilities become Tutan's belongings, give Tutan the confidence and ability to truly unify the entire Tutan Dynasty, and turn the original form of city-state alliance into a unified state.
Of course, this also has Heckfors's selfishness, and in this process, Heckfors can also pass on the belief of the True God Sect to the entire Tutan Dynasty, and he will become the behind-the-scenes controller of the entire Tutan Dynasty.
And Che, he had long recognized Akkad as the person who injured him back then, and was preparing to use this opportunity to use Tutan's power to swallow all of Akkad's forces and destroy all of Akkad's hard work.
He also set a trap in the palace and waited for Akkad to step in, but he didn't expect that Akkad was so decisive and didn't do anything, so he just gave up everything and ran away with people.
Heckforth watched the hot air balloon in the sky gradually disappear into a small black dot, disappearing from view, clenching his fists tightly, his brows tangled together, his eyes fierce hatred seemed to shine through, and he gritted his teeth and shouted a name.
"Arcade!"
