Chapter 123: The Eye of Light (2)
The celebration party ended quickly. Everyone was busy, and the young people stayed behind to clean up the venue. Before leaving, the captain gave Mansour a meaningful look, which meant: Take it easy, don't be too outrageous.
The departure of the captain means that the carnival belonging to the young people has begun.
The chic, chic café that is the favourite of young people is the next target. Why do you like it? Of course, because there are cubicles and wine!
Young people have to grow up. Don't talk about the rules, the whole city of Nehr, Berka, who never drank alcohol when he was young, find one and let me have a look! Besides, no one will die and run out into the streets with wine, what are you afraid of?
Zakaria walked in front with Mansour on his arm, grinning, and behind the two young men were twelve or thirteen brethren of the Guard, and finally a younger boy, Noor.
Walking through the corner of the street and bumping into the patrol, the patrol captain saw that in the middle of the night, he was disheveled and ganged up, his face sank, and he was about to come up with a baton to get someone, and when he saw clearly that it was the hero who saved the city during the day, and then looked at the city guard card that everyone held up in their hands, the baton turned around and gestured to let him go. He smiled and whistled at them as he passed by.
The young men of the guard shouted in unison, "It's hard to patrol the master!" and went on grinning.
One of the patrolmen laughed, "Little bastard!"
The patrol captain also smiled: "This is the most orderly bastard, orderly and energetic." The more people like this, the less hard work we will have - they are going to make a scene tonight, Aboud, take a few brothers to help them see the field, and don't let them play too hard. ”
"No problem. ”
Mansour and the others walked around the corner, and in front of them was an old man in a tattered white robe.
said that he set up a stall, but he didn't sell any goods at all, only hung a big wooden sign on his chest that was dragged to the ground. A large line was written on it: The end begins today. There are also some small characters that are surprisingly ugly next to them.
Everyone knew this old man, and his name was Aboud. He did a small business in the neighborhood, selling some children's toys carved from wood, and it was no problem to have food and clothing. But there is a quirk, as long as you are not busy, you must come out and stand on the street with a wooden sign.
The patrol has been rushed, passers-by have laughed, and the family has dragged it away, it doesn't work, should you come out or continue to come out. Besides, the old man does not gather crowds to make trouble, does not hinder traffic, and the crowd abuses and attracts attention, everyone is used to it, so he will go.
The young man greeted the old man with a grin: "Holy Lord bless you, old man, good evening!"
The old man smiled: "Hello guys." ”
"Did the old gentleman eat it?"
"Eat, eat, go play. ”
As Mansur passed the old man, he noticed a few small lines on the wooden sign: "The sky is broken, the stars are falling, the earth is overturned, and the sky is full of fire and poisonous smoke." ”
These are all words and phrases from the Mahmad Sutra of the Heavens, which record the coming of the end times. However, the scriptures do not put these in the same chapter, and say, is there a deep meaning in the old man's move?
Mansour looked at the old man curiously.
The old man looked back calmly, his eyes were very calm, and he could not see anything abnormal.
Mansour was at the front of the group, stopping his companions behind. The companion asked, "What's wrong Mansour?"
"Oh, it's fine. Go, go. ”
Mansour stopped looking at the old man and walked away with his companion grinning. And the old man continued to stand silently in place.
It was already late at night, and the old man sighed, put away the wooden card, and prepared to go home.
At this time, a masked strong man wrapped in a white robe stopped him: "Old gentleman, excuse me, have you seen this girl?"
An elaborate magical picture was placed in front of the old man, showing a girl with red glass-like eyes without pupils and long silky purple hair.
"I haven't seen it, sorry. Your Excellency is from outside?"
The strong man smiled brightly: "The old gentleman has good eyesight, in Lower Harik, come to my wife." Nehr in Kunshabi's womb, unexpectedly prosperous, the remnants of His Majesty Farouge, seem to be very happy. ”
The corners of the old man's mouth twitched.
Harrick tapped the old man's wooden card: "I fell from the sky, but I will not tear the sky, not the devil." I'm here to deliver you. ”
The old man took a deep breath: "My son works in the city hall, if you find someone, maybe he can help." If you don't like it, can you come to old Aboud's house for a night's rest?"
"Thank you for your generosity, Holy Lord bless you, shall we go?"
When Harik walked through the door of old Abboud's house, the banquet in the Holy Star Cafe also entered a climax.
When the sweet wine was served on a tray, the young people cheered.
It's wine, forbidden by canons!
We drank it and thanked the Holy Lord.
This is a tribute to courage and wisdom! Drinking this blood-red liquid will bring one step closer to the Holy Lord's holy steps!
What? the temptation of the devil? so many Burcas have secretly drunk, are they all depraved!
It's not about faith!
After drinking, the atmosphere became even more intense, some people took off their coats and jumped on the table to sing, and others drunkenly high-fived in response.
Neither Mansour nor Zakaria were drinking, when someone tapped them both on the shoulder from behind.
The two turned around, nodded to the visitor, and then excused themselves and left the small private room.
Follow the visitor through a narrow alley and into a firewood house. There is a small door in the wood house, which is used to store tools. I went in and knocked on the wall twice, one short and three times, and the wall moved away, revealing the small hall inside.
In the middle of the small hall is a round table and four chairs. In the center of the round table, a flat, long sun is drawn, with an eye in the middle.
There was already someone waiting for them, and this person was actually Mansour's captain Serim!
Selim motioned for the two to sit down and spoke, "Young men, danger is approaching. ”
Zakaria said, "Captain, we've been dealing with danger. ”
Selim shook his head: "Not exactly. Mansour, what do you think of this sortie?"
"Difficult to deal with. The centipede was a species never seen before, more powerful and more cunning, if it weren't for the ......," Mansur was just about to say "the girl helps", and at the last moment, he stopped his mouth alive.
"What then?"
"If I hadn't reacted quickly at the time, it would have been over. ”
Serim nodded heavily: "That's a bad sign. There will be more and stronger demons to come. The war puppets are overwhelmed and must find another way. ”
"What's the solution?"
"Leave. It will soon turn into hell here, that's the Senate's judgment. We, the Bright Eyes, must lead the people away. ”
The two looked at each other, and Mansour said, "Why?"
"Demons have descended from the sky and can find us accurately, but we cannot attack their territory, and we don't even know where they are. That's the disadvantage. We are getting weaker and weaker, but they are on the offensive. Therefore, the council is pessimistic about passive defense. ”
"But we can only act in secret, and it is not a big problem to go away on our own, but the people ...... It simply can't be done without town hall support. Besides, the vast majority of the population doesn't know anything about it. ”
"I thought that way at first, but since last month, things have taken a turn for the better. ”
"What turnaround?"
"You've been in the puppet team, and you probably don't know it yet. The old diehards of the town hall suddenly turned the wind and began to support the outward expansion of the city. ”
"What?"
In order to survive in the demonic furnaces of hell, Nehr had to use most of his magical energy to create shields that blocked the deadly sea of acid and hot air. Every inch that expands the city area consumes a huge amount of magical energy. For hundreds of years, the city hall has been cautious and conservative about the expansion of the city, preferring to control the population rather than make attempts to expand it.
"We may have more freedom of movement, and according to information from our brother who is lurking in the town hall, the town hall is working on an expedition. ”
Zakaria happily said: "Great, we can leave with a proper name." ”
Mansour said: "I don't think so, what if it's the bait of the town hall?
The captain said, "Be cautious. Several elders agreed that our people should not move yet. Let's wait and see. And, personally, I think this sudden change in the town hall is really too strange. In short, everything is treated calmly. Do not act rashly. ”
"Understood. ”
"Anyway, go heads-up and win that devil, Mansour, well done!"
"Thank you, Captain. Uh, can I go?"
"Don't worry about the girl you rescued, she's a beauty," the captain waved his hand generously, "Go ahead!"
Mansur thanked him and was about to leave, when suddenly an anxious voice came from the communication circle: "Danger, danger, the devil is coming, the devil is attacking!
The captain shouted: "Mansour, Zakaria, quickly return to the puppet team, activate the spare puppet, and attack!"
Mansour's heart tugged at once.
That girl is still in the hospital!
Rushing out of the café, the rest of the puppet team's companions had already assembled.
The first priority is to return to the puppet team and activate the backup puppet.
However, not to mention the combat effectiveness of the reserve puppet, just half an hour of preparation time is enough for the devil to go on a killing spree. can only do everything to obey the destiny of heaven.
More than one person was secretly frightened: how did it come so quickly?
As soon as everyone went out, they saw an unforgettable scene.
Under the crimson blood-colored full moon, rows of white spherical buildings were shrouded in a strange red light, and the remnant clouds swept through the night sky, looking like they were coated with a layer of slowly flowing blood.
In the middle of the spherical building, a humanoid devil more than twenty meters tall is wielding her twelve-meter-long giant claws, frantically slashing at all the surrounding buildings that can be attacked.
Everyone exclaimed in unison, it was terrible!
