Chapter 52: The Broken Citadel (2)

In the middle of the night, a violent tremor woke Yupanki and Royce awake. www.biquge.info Reuss slept in a daze, as if he had returned to the years when he fought the pirates with his comrades on the Kachin, and the sudden shock made him think that the pirates had called, and he jumped up to shout, suddenly remembering that he was now mute, and could only whine, this is not the rest room of the Kachin.

He looked at Yu Panji, and Yu Panji was also surprised, such a violent vibration, the whole fortress was shaking, what the hell was going on? If this was Patrick's temptation, this action was too big, right?

The two of them were already lying in their clothes, and their blades were not separated from their bodies, but now they suddenly gave an early warning, grabbed the guy at the same time, carefully touched the door, quietly opened the door a crack, and looked out.

Countless people in the corridor ran around in panic, shouting, "The river god is angry, the river god is angry!"

Royce asked aloud in the team chat, "Duck, what's going on?"

Duck yelled, "I don't know, Citadel tilts! Riley fell to the second floor, I'll save her!"

George said: "Everyone calm down, although the vibration was violent just now, but only once! It seems to have hit a reef, everyone report the situation!"

Isabella yelled, "Third floor lounge, safe!"

Riley yelled, "I'm on the second floor with my brother, I fell and twisted my foot, it's okay!"

Bai Liana yelled, "I'm on the fourth floor, it's safe! It's okay here!

George said, "This Patrick really surprised us. Yupanki, Royce, you two must not move, Atlas is a big country, the messenger will not care about the life or death of the people in the small state, don't go out!"

Royce shouted, "This gentle river, I can scoop them up with a raise of my hand!"

"No, Atlas doesn't have big rivers and lakes, how can there be a messenger with a good water nature!

"But ......"

"If it's exposed, Patrick will kill more people!"

Royce's teeth clenched, and everyone in the team chat fell silent, except for Belliana's low cry.

Patrick, who was in the priest's room, saw the two Atlas messengers nervously searching and touring the circle, and then returned to bed peacefully, snoring indifferently, and he smiled with satisfaction.

Early the next morning, twenty-two corpses, the unfortunate victims of the previous night's accident, were neatly placed on the thick morgue made of wooden rows on the first floor of the castle.

Some fell from a height and crashed into a hard reef with shattered skulls, some fell into the river from broken wooden rafts and were salvaged with only a pile of bones, and some were dragged away by unknown creatures at the bottom of the river, and only the shell ornaments left at the bottom of the river proved that they had been there.

The castle suffered heavy losses, four of the twenty-four river oars had their fixed shafts damaged and completely shut down, six had damaged bases and needed to be reoriented, and eight needed to be stopped for inspection - this meant that the citadel could only remain adrift for half a month, and at most the remaining oars of the river gods could slow down the drifting speed.

The power system was severely damaged, the citadel could not maintain a relatively static position in the river, the water nursery and settlement plan were forced to be postponed, and the Tierekri trees that the Yanoma tribe had worked so hard to transport had to be temporarily piled up on the shore and then chased after the citadel by way of a wooden row relay.

Countless people wept bitterly.

Duck gritted his teeth: "Damn it, old bastard, but how did he do it?"

George threw him a black, blue-faced stone: "This one, it was wiped off when it hit the castle." That's the culprit. ”

"Reef?"

"Its inner layer has not hardened, it is soft. I analyzed its composition, it is not a reef, it is the secretion of the lightning slime, it contains a very small amount of wind magic energy, and after being thrown into the river water, it reacts with the sediment in the river water and quickly forms a hard shell. As the temperature drops further, the inner layer hardens and becomes exactly like the outer layer. Theoretically, with enough of this stuff and a shape, you can conjure up a castle in three hours. ”

Duck waved his hand hatefully: "What's the use of talking about this now! Our plan is all messed up! Not only Patrick can't clean it up, but the cooperation between the Citadel and Yanoma will also be affected!"

"At least we know Patrick's cards – send someone to 'plant' the reef in the designated location in advance, and then he pretends to be a fool and directs the keep to bypass or dismantle the reef. ”

"Demolish him!

"The old guy has done such a lack of morality, it seems that he is in a hurry. Don't irritate him at this time - just kill him!"

Duck sneered: "This is my appetite, assault round?"

"No, don't worry. We're middlemen, it's hard to get started, there's going to be a chance, look, Patrick went up and spoke. ”

Duck grimaced and glared at Patrick. But the gaze can't kill people, Patrick instead points fingers and dances more happily.

"Whoever wants to listen to him, I'll go back. ”

George grabbed him: "Don't worry, the chief is out!"

"He's got a fart when he comes out, and he sits in the chief's seat and lets a liar jump up and down for so many years that he doesn't even dare to put a fart, and he still has the face to come out and chatterβ€”"

"Calm down!"

Isabella said a word, and Duck knew that he had lost his temper and shut up sullenly.

Isabella pointed to the other side of the platform: "Look there, Belliana and Tabrich seem to be arguing, and Yupanki is fighting them!"

The three of them were stunned, and Duck asked in the team chat, "Bailiana, what's going on?"

Bai Liana said indignantly: "Tabrich is looking for fault and quarreling!"

"Why?"

"Last night the road construction team and trade team of the Yanoma tribe spent the night in the woods, saying that we would send supplies, but I don't know why they didn't give them. ”

"If you are hungry for a night, people must have grievances, this is not called finding faults. ”

Isabella frowned and said: "This is also something that can't be helped, the Divine Citadel had an accident last night, it must not be delivered, Tabrich is very smart, how can you find fault for this kind of thing?"

"The problem is that it wasn't delivered this morning!"

George smiled: "Then you can't blame others for being angry, when you come to the territory of your allies, you are hungry for two meals in vain, who is not angry - no need to ask, it must be Patrick's people who are responsible for the supply of this side of the Divine Fortress, not to mention that this kind of thing has no intention of pursuing it now, even if it is investigated, Patrick can also use the reason to deal with the urgent affairs of the Divine Castle to prevaricate the past." ”

Duck said angrily, "The old guy is really a poisonous snake! In this way, isn't it Yanoma's cold ass who came all the way to get a hot face to the castle!"

Bai Liana cried angrily: "I'm already very restrained, I don't know what stupidity this kid has committed, he swears all the time, as if he can't bite me, what kind of enmity do I have with him?"

Duck advised, "Calm down, calm down! Patrick would be happiest if you were to fight!" The covenant between the Citadel and Yanoma ......"

Not knowing what Tabrich was scolding, Beliana screamed, "I don't care!

The quarrel between Bailiana and Tabrich fell into the eyes of everyone on the high platform, the two chiefs were expressionless, and Patrick smiled.

At the end of the mourning ceremony, the bodies of the victims were loaded into coffins and pushed into the river from wooden rafts. Relatives cried and rushed to vent their grief.

Anduri walked up to Patrick and whispered, "Lord Shui Shi, the chief is invited." Please take a seat in the second room. ”

"Oh, I'm so busy right now, I'm afraid I don't have time. ”

"Listening to the chief's meaning, it seems that I want to discuss with you about holding a ceremony to worship the river god as soon as possible. In addition, he also said that this incident is likely to be related to these strangers who claim to be dark believers, and he wants to discuss with you to see if these people can also participate in the sacrificial ceremony. ”

Patrick was overjoyed: "Of course! The sacrificial ceremony is such a big thing, I can't be negligent, no matter how busy I am, I have to find time to participate." When?"

"Now. ”

"No problem, let's go. ”

The ecstasy in Patrick's heart is beyond measure, what does this mean?My Chief Hall Addison, you have finally repented, and only me, the great river god, can save your tribe!
