Chapter Twenty-Eight: Danger Comes from the Sky
Unfortunately, the two clerics didn't know anything, and if they did, they wouldn't have to rush to the palace. However, someone should already know, because just in the direction of the palace, a mage who was covered in light rose into the sky, and with the help of amplification magic, the sound was almost heard throughout the city.
"Under the lockdown order, all residents of the city should immediately enter the surrounding public buildings, and the doors of the buildings should not be locked, and no one else should be allowed to enter. Until the lockdown order is lifted, no one is allowed to go out, and in special circumstances, they can ask the passing city guards through the doors and windows in the building, but they are not allowed to step out of the gate, and violators will be punished as treason. ”
"Visitors should also try to stay in their own accommodation and do not go out, so as not to have unnecessary misunderstandings, and if you go out rashly, you will be responsible for all the consequences. ”
"The city guards canceled all their vacations, and everyone gathered nearby, began to patrol the streets, and killed those who took advantage of the trouble. ”
"You don't have to be nervous, the situation is still under control, just wait for the problem to be solved. ”
"It's over, and he doesn't know what's going on. It was fine that the mage didn't say the last sentence, but as soon as he said the last sentence, Shul shook his head and sighed. If it was really certain that the situation would not get out of hand, then he would definitely explain it briefly to reassure people, but he said it so vaguely that there was only one explanation, which was that he was lying, "Who is this crystal energy lamp?"
"Childish ghost, childish ghost. Deliberately hiding on the other side of Shur to avoid the two outsiders, Saf replied in an angry whisper, "That's the court mage Master Soran, and the naturalist teacher of His Majesty the Emperor." ”
"It seems that there are already quite a few forces gathered in the palace. Shul looked up at the still dark sky, "This water curtain festival is really lively. ”
Indeed, it was precisely because many people had already arrived that Solarn did not stop the forces from continuing to converge on the palace, he knew that he had no position to stop it, and he could not stop it. Among the guests who visited recently, there were more than a dozen legendary powerhouses among the priests who served the main god, and there was not much difference in their strength, and they were all leaders of one party, and he didn't want to offend these eccentric god apostles, so he didn't even mention them at all.
However, it seems that the empire's control over the Lion City is still very strong, a simple blockade order can control the situation, his announcement is very effective, not long after he finished speaking, the citizens running around the streets are less than half, and the rest are also panicked looking for buildings where they can hide, and the streets are deserted at once, and Shure They don't have to jump around on the rooftops.
"It's getting darker. Ferres seemed to know what Shul was thinking, and looked up at the sky, "I'm afraid the heart of the city won't last long." ”
"What happens if it collapses?" Shul asked, frowning, "It stands to reason that an item blessed by the gods like the Heart of the City would not just collapse at will, and there is no record of how to describe the results of the collapse. ”
Once the Heart of the City is planted, even if the ontology is destroyed, the concept will remain in the place where it was planted and will not become invalid, that is, the Heart of the City will basically not be destroyed. However, it is only the concept of the heart of the city that will not be destroyed, and its function is not unaffected, after all, the energy carried by a carrier is limited, once it is under excessive pressure in a short period of time, the heart of the city will be overloaded, and it will enter overload protection after a long time, and it needs to go through a period of self-repair before it can re-function.
This is the self-preservation function of the heart of the city, and there is a precedent in history. In the records, there have been four cases of overloading the heart of the city to protect it, but none of them have left a detailed record.
"Because all those present are dead. Camille, the god of war bishop Camille, who had been silent, suddenly said intermittently in a common language with a thick orc accent, "Of course it is impossible to leave a record, the threat is so strong that even the heart of the city can be forcibly suppressed, how many mortals other than demigods can survive?"
"Well, just like this time. Fellers also chimed in, "Although I don't know the reason, but the heart of the city has really been broken through, unless you are lucky enough and the threat just disappears, otherwise, our legendary ranks may still have a chance to survive, you golden terraces, I'm afraid ......"
It's very serious, but Ferrers is not nervous at all because he only has a glimmer of life, not only him, but even Camille next to him is also indifferent, indifferent to life and death, the will of these strong men has long been as hard as steel, even in the face of the most dangerous situation, they can deal with it calmly.
"Roland, that idiot. "I don't know who Roland is in Camille's mouth, probably because the Jade Empire doesn't know which generation of emperors," the ancestor had already reminded him that the protective effect of the heart of the city could not be set so high, and the effect should be weakened a little, although it would increase the danger in the city, but when it was in trouble, it would not be overloaded like now. ”
As a result, this idiot didn't listen to what he said, saying that he couldn't protect the citizens from harm, and would seriously affect the prestige of the Lionheart family. Hmph, if the protection effect had been set a little lower at that time, it would indeed affect many people in the city now, but it would not be fatal, and at the same time, it would never have caused the city heart to be overloaded. Well, now that all the citizens are dead, they don't have to worry about the family's prestige being damaged, because they themselves won't be able to live. Opinionated fool, no wonder the ancestors broke with him. ”
Well, I've heard for a long time that the relationship between the Empire and the Orcs is very unharmonious, and it seems that there are still historical reasons.
"Lord Shure, this way. "It's hard to imagine that a muscular behemoth can have so many words, and along the way, the orc Camille's contempt for the Lionheart family has not stopped, so that the palace is in front of everyone, and everyone doesn't pay attention until they hear the voice of Oranna's old man.
As soon as I looked up, I saw that there were already twenty or thirty people gathered in the square in front of the palace, most of them were dressed as priests, and it was obvious that these were the guests who had come to participate in the Water Curtain Festival.
"These are all friends who have come to the celebration, and the representatives of the twenty-four Lord Gods have come. Alas, it's ...... to get you into trouble with the water flowing on it."
"Lord Orana, don't say anything polite yet. Xiu'er's gaze swept over everyone, nearly thirty people, among them there were at least ten Legendary Ranks, and the rest were also Golden-Rank powerhouses. This scale is an extremely terrifying force in any country, and it is hard to imagine that there are problems that this group of people cannot solve. However, Shure knows very well that strength is not so reliable, there are too many things in this world that cannot be solved by strength, even if he is as strong as a demigod, he does not dare to say that he can control everything, let alone only a dozen legends, therefore, the most important thing now is ...... "What happened, I don't think even the court mage Solane knows, Lord Orlana, do you know?"
"This is Lord Solarn. Wendy gestured to the man standing beside her, a gray-robed Solane hidden under his hood, full of mystery, "We don't know for sure yet, but the danger comes from the sky." ”
"Huh?" Shuer was stunned for a moment, thinking that it was a mysterious threat such as the Great Rift or the Ghost Space, or a surprise attack by a mythical beast, but since Orlana clearly said that the danger came from the sky, it was not necessarily these two threats, otherwise she would have explained it directly, and she would not have said it so vaguely, "Can you make it clear?"
"Light, to be exact. Orlana said with an ugly face, "Before, Lord Solane left the shield of the heart of the city and went out to investigate, as for the result, ......"
Solon lifted his hood, and there were large, strange scars on his face, a bit like burns, but if it was a burn, Orlana could heal it with a wave of his hand, so as not to leave such obvious marks, no wonder he had been hiding his face under the hood.
"Lord Solarn has been outside the heart of the city for three minutes and has been severely wounded, his face is the most seriously exposed because it is exposed, and his body is not lightly injured although it is covered by clothing. ”
Shul frowned, and suddenly bowed deeply to Solarn, and Saf on the side also bowed with him tacitly: "I'm sorry, I apologize to Your Excellency." ”
"Huh?" Solann didn't know, of course he wouldn't know that Shul was apologizing for calling him Crystal Lantern behind his back. As a legendary powerhouse, almost standing at the apex of mortals, money, status, and freedom can be easily obtained. But in times of crisis, he didn't care about what he had, and dared to go out and face threats that even the heart of the city could not fight in order to find a reason, such a person, Shul considered him worthy of respect.
"Nothing. Of course, he was embarrassed to say why, Shuer smiled casually and changed the subject, "This injury is very troublesome to heal?"
"It's really troublesome. Orlana was not in the mood to beat around the bush and replied directly, "With my ability, it can be cured, but it will take at least a few days of continuous treatment." ”
"Hey, what's going on?" Shure frowned, the Temple of Water is a professional healing temple, more professional than the Dark Moon Temple, and Orlana is a legendary-level bishop, so it can be said that as long as the person is not dead, it can be cured in her hands. However, even she needed to be treated for several days on end, which showed how serious the injury was.
"Something that had never been seen before, there seemed to be a strange force destroying his body from within. Shaking her head, Orlana said, "This destruction is continuous, and it directly affects every part of his body, a bit like the result of being affected by a cursed metal, if you use a metaphor. ”
"Whew. Shure sighed, cursing metal is a very fatal injury, "Just the light?"
"I'm not sure either. Solan's voice was hoarse, first let him hold on when the blockade order was issued just now, "I didn't feel anything at first, but soon after being exposed to the shield, I felt that my whole body was getting hotter and hotter, and the heat was almost burning, I am an ice attribute mage myself, but I couldn't fight against this heat, so I didn't dare to stay longer, so I fled back." As a result, on the way back, the skin on my face began to fester, melt, and my body became more and more itchy, but fortunately, Lord Orlana arrived in time, otherwise I would have burned into a ball of fire, or turned into a puddle of rotten meat. ”
