Chapter 31: The Darkness Under the Explosion (Part 2)
- There is also a chapter to be added, at eleven o'clock.
..........................................................................................
The color of the Soge wax museum is dark and the light is not strong, so that the wax statues placed in the glass on both sides look the same as the real people, which makes people admire and appreciate it extraordinarily, but also the question of whether it is a living person inside, and a faint sense of tremor arises in my heart.
"Hehe, this wax figure of mine is a little darker. Viscount Wright pointed to his wax figure in a black dress and smiled at Thorge and Granneuve, "Mr. Thorn, your skill is truly extraordinary, and if I stand here with it at night, others will surely not be able to tell who is the wax figure and who is the real person." ”
Due to the impact of the previous "terrorist" attack, Thorge's face has been bad, and now after being praised by Viscount Wright, he has recovered slightly: "Lord Viscount, this is a wax figure that you customized when you returned from the Kingdom of Holm, and your skin was like this at that time. ”
Viscount Wright smiled with satisfaction: "Mr. Thorge, I will remember as soon as you say it." It was July, the sun was fierce, and I was a great knight, but some of the people on the boat had even turned into bronzed skin. ”
"When I saw you, Lord Viscount, I almost didn't know you. Granneuve smiled and flattered, and then cautiously looked at Harrison Brown, who was admiring the wax figure not far behind, "Lord Viscount, the previous attack seems to have come at the Brown Knight, I don't know if there is a follow-up to the road?" ”
Viscount Wright straightened his neckline, glanced at Granneuve, and said indifferently: "Don't worry, although they want to kill Brown, they are reluctant to fight hard, otherwise they can directly send a middle-level magician and knight to this kind of occasion, and they can kill Brown 100%." The only problem is. This magician and knight will definitely be surrounded by the night watchman and us, and there will be no escape. It's a completely uneconomical business for the Magic Council. And so on, even if there are still attacks. It should also be based on causing chaos and long-range attacks. Hehe, Granneuve, I'll give priority to protecting you, an incapable squire. ”
Granneuve had always claimed to be a loyal attendant of Lord Viscount, and Viscount Wright didn't mind calling him so.
Brown, who admired the wax figures of the nobles in the distance, heard the conversation between the two. A little more relaxed, yes, to kill a quasi-knight like himself who is inspired by potions. The Magical Council is absolutely unwilling to pay a big price.
And behind him, outside the human wall formed by his entourage, consciously or unconsciously, Lucien carried a black leather case, and while admiring the simulation of the wax figures, he walked past them and walked towards the depths of the wax museum.
Turning around, in a wide and gloomy wax museum. Lucien found a no-man's corner, where the glass windows were empty and belonged to wax figures that had not yet been made.
Calculating the distance to Brown, Lucien shoved the black suitcase into an imperceptible corner and then took out the Quintal inside, put it in his money bag and lifted the compartment.
Ten fiery glues are neatly fixed in the mezzanine. A bag of ordinary gunpowder, and a long rope coiled in dozens of circles.
These fiery glues are not ordinary fiery glues, and the fiery glue with even more terrifying explosion power.
After Lucien borrowed materials such as sulfuric acid and nitric acid from the ferryman, as well as the alchemy device, he combined animal fat to make some nitroglycerin under the dual protection of the Starlight Shield and the Sun Protector, and added them to the fiery glue.
In fact, since the first preparation of the fiery gel, Lucien has been trying to improve its explosive power, at first because he has no protective ability, so he did not start, until he became an official magician and got the fireweaver bracelet, Lucien continued to analyze and improve the fiery glue magic formula during the journey, and finally had satisfactory results when he arrived in the Duchy of Djibouti, but because the materials and experimental equipment were not easy, it only came in handy until now.
And the reason why nitroglycerin is not used directly is because Lucian needs the magic fluctuations produced by the fiery glue.
Since the glass tube containing the "improved" fiery glue was engraved with magic runes to prevent it from shaking and detonating, Lucien placed the packet of ordinary gunpowder next to it, connected it to the long rope, closed the black leather case, and looped the long rope around the corner.
After calculating the length of the burn according to the experience of testing the burning time last night, Lucien carefully lit the long rope with a flint and steel.
The rope with a special substance added to it began to burn, stable and balanced.
Lucien pressed his black top hat, buried his head, and walked quickly out of this deserted corner, towards the front area of the wax museum where the nobles were concentrated.
Zziz, the faint sound of burning sounded unhurriedly in this place where there were not even wax figures, and after Lucien walked briskly for two minutes, he could already see the group of nobles, some of them still admiring their wax figures, and some of them were trying to make an appointment with Thorge to make wax figures.
Lucien leaned against the glass window not far away to watch the noisy scene, and the person who came in now must be looking at the wax figure in front, unless it was a person like himself who had a bad mind to go to the remote place behind: "There is still a minute, and it should not be discovered." ”
............
Brown looked at those lifelike wax figures, and if the wax figures could be collected by the city museum in the future, then there would be no regrets in the glory of this life.
"Where is Mr. Thorn?" Brown looked around, looking for Thorn, and found that he was surrounded by a group of small nobles on the left-hand side, discussing the matter of customizing wax figures, while Viscount Wright and other big nobles were admiring the double wax figures of Baron Monkage and his wife standing and sitting in the background,
Thinking that it would be better to make another confirmation of his appointment for a wax figure, Brown gestured to the adventurer Night's Watch beside him with his eyes, and took a few steps forward to Thorge's side.
As he walked around, he happened to see a young man with black hair and black eyes wearing a high black top hat and a monocle on his left eye looking at the wax figure intently, and couldn't help but laugh and said: "This style of clothing popular in the Kingdom of Holm has slowly influenced Sturk in recent years, and many nobles feel that this kind of dress is elegant and solemn. ”
As the thought came to him, Brown turned his head and stood beside Thorge.
The Adventurer Night's Watch followed closely, standing on Brown's left-hand side, always ready for a surprise attack.
"Fifteen seconds, fourteen seconds......" Lucien pushed down his monocle. Leave the vitrines window and walk towards Brown.
“...... Six, five......" Lucien was parallel to Brown, but crossed it directly.
While taking a step forward. While counting the time: "Four seconds, three seconds......"
Brown smiled at Thorn and said, "Mr. Thorn, I don't know when I can come over......
"Two seconds, one second ......"
Rumble. The loud explosion sent a ferocious wave of air, and the entire building seemed to tremble, blocking Brown from speaking in the middle of his words.
The terrifying sound was like a collection of countless explosions. It's hard to tell, and the majestic and fiery magic fluctuations are clearly surging!
Maybe the wind speed in that corner had changed, and the explosion happened a second later than Lucien's pre-calculation, but Lucian, who had been on high alert and waiting, reacted half-sideways faster than everyone else to perform the long-prepared magic "Charm Human" as soon as the explosion, vibration, and magic fluctuations appeared.
Target: Brown!
After obtaining the Necronomicon, Lucien analyzed the foundation of his meditation method and several magics, and found that he had no idea what he knew and was not very good at. Most necromancy that affects mood, intellect, and spirit is partly structured by releasing some kind of electromagnetic waves that target specific brain waves, in order to affect hormone secretion and sensory judgment, etc., in order to achieve the purpose.
Combining this knowledge, Lucien changed the magic of "seducing humans" in two ways. One improvement is to reduce the electromagnetic wave part and enhance the soul influence part. The effect will be more obvious for the magician, but not only will the magic fluctuate strongly, but it will also be easy to find the person charmed. Another improvement is to reduce the soul influence part and enhance the electromagnetic wave structure, which will more easily affect brain waves, which is very suitable for dealing with knights who are not strong enough to have a strong will, but when encountering a formal mage, this improved magic has little effect.
Since hormone secretion, brain wave frequency, etc. are themselves normal reactions of the human body, it will be difficult for people who are seduced to be noticed by others, because emotional changes can also cause similar changes.
Lucien still doesn't know what kind of electromagnetic waves affect which type of brain waves, what they affect, and how they affect them, so he can only rely on this idea and principle to try to copy part of the structure of necromancy, and now, the second improved "Enchanting Human" has a chance to come in handy.
Brown, a quasi-knight who relies on potions to stimulate the power of his blood, not only has a soul far behind that of a formal magician, but also has a strong will, so he is the most suitable object to be "charmed"!
The already small magic fluctuations of "Enchanting Humans" have been improved by Lucien to be more hidden, and the magic fluctuations generated by the explosion of the ten fiery gels are so strong that they completely cover it up!
Therefore, the adventurer night watchman did not find it, Viscount Wright, who blocked Granneuve, did not find it, and the other great knights and knights did not find it.
Only half a beat slower than Lucien cast his magic, Brown's body flashed milky white light again, and angel feathers wrapped him, but before the wrap, Brown's pupils were already foggy, and then regained clarity, only slightly dazed.
The rumbling explosion seemed to blow up the entire wax museum, and the violent magic fluctuations indicated that it was likely to be a mid-level magician, so after the initial reaction, the night watchman, Viscount Wright, and others took action almost at the same time as Brown, either defending or rushing directly to the place of the explosion.
After the explosion, the wax museum was filled with the screams of ladies and ladies, and the nobles and ordinary people who were not strong were either hiding behind the pillars in extreme fear and shivering, or frantically fleeing outside the gate, the scene was chaotic.
The adventurer's night watchman was very pleased with Brown's reaction to subconsciously triggering the angel feather, and then looked around vigilantly, fearing that someone would take advantage of this chaotic opportunity to surprise him, and at the same time he asked several high knights: "Adults, please help defend and check!"
Continuously being raided, several big knights felt extremely embarrassed, and did not shirk, some stood around to defend, and some followed Viscount Wright to check the place of the explosion.
The Adventurer Night's Watch was now unusually alert to the crowd of runners, ready to kill anyone if they dared to approach, when he saw a young man in a black suit who seemed to be an upper-class man squeezing towards the gate in horror and embarrassment, with a high top hat and hanging monocles on his head.
"This kind of aristocracy that does not stimulate the power of the blood is waste, and when it is dangerous, it is not at all the grace they themselves say. The Dark Knight-turned-adventurer thought disdainfully.
Then, out of his eye, he saw the young man flee the hall with the crowd. (To be continued.) )
