Chapter Twenty-Seven: Shock
It was nearly noon, and Suer's sun car was still hanging high in the middle of the canopy, spreading sunshine and warmth to the mortal world, but when Shur and the others hurried out of the tavern, they saw a scene that seemed to be twilight.
Looking up at the sky, the sun was still in the sky and had not disappeared, but there was an extra curtain on the sky, as if it was covered with a black cloth, and only a small amount of sunlight could shine into the city through the curtain, plunging the city into darkness.
Countless city dwellers poured into the streets from the buildings, looking up at the sky, wailing, screaming, resounding in every corner of the city.
There was nothing unusual except that the sky was darkening, and of course, darkening was the biggest anomaly, and it was this phenomenon that violated the law of day and night that plunged these citizens who had lived safely in the Lion City for hundreds of years into despair and panic.
The disaster is not the most terrible, the unknown is, most people don't know what happened, the more unknown, the more panic.
"The heart of the city was activated. Duck was the first to react, explaining in a low voice to the others, "Passive activation, and overload. ”
"Huh?" Shul was stunned, "Is the Lion King's brain abnormal? With this kind of thing that looks like the end of the world, isn't it good for him to use something else?"
"No, that's the case with most city hearts. Safu also came back to her senses from surprise, her face was a little ugly, after all, this is the city she has lived in for many years, and she will definitely be a little worried when this strange change suddenly appears, "This is the last and most rigorous protection measure, even to prevent the devastating light from penetrating, as long as the protection of the heart of the city does not collapse, the people inside are safe, well, relatively safe." ”
Shuer closed his mouth, he was an outsider in the end, although he could see the heart of the city of the Rose Capital being actively activated almost every day in the past few days, but he had only passively activated it a few times, such as the time when he fought against the Great Rift in the City of Roses a few days ago, and he had seen it once when the Great Rift closed the Void Evil Spirit rushed into the city.
But the overload activation that Duck said, he has never seen it, although the information says that when overloaded, the color of the lilac shield will deepen, but the information does not say that it is so deep that it is about to turn black, tsk, ominous color, no matter how you look at it, it is not a good sign.
The shield that has shrouded the entire city has not disappeared yet, indicating that the threat of activating the heart of the city has not disappeared and is still in effect, but whether it is from the sense of sight and hearing or from the perception of energy, there is no threat, I don't know if the effect of the heart of the city is too strong, the threat is completely isolated, or this unknown threat, in fact, can not be perceived by everyone.
"Calm down, let's not panic, Dark, you've been here many times, you know the right way, then you take them to the Sanctuary of Water, it's Wendy's sanctuary, even if the city is destroyed, it's the last place where problems will happen. ”
"Don't forget to pay more, it's extra work. Darker is worthy of being a veteran of a hundred battles, and in less than a minute, he went from his usual relaxation to a state of imminent battle, "Hehe, what can make your heart ache, you can't get tired of doing anything." ”
"Shut up, and after sending them back, stay in the visitors' quarters, and don't go anywhere, even if all the people outside are dead. ”
"Needless to say, in times of war, tasks take precedence. ”
"Not only to protect Lisa, but also to protect the visitors who live in the visitor area, if you can, if you can, including the clergy of the Temple, this is a good opportunity. ”
"Yes, good chance, it is said that those ladies in the Temple of Water, every skin looks like ......"
", and Lisa, you ......"
"I see, I'll go back with him. The girl nodded calmly, raised her hand and took off the head ring on her head, "Brother the Moon Crown and the Dark Moon Scepter, you take it, in case of danger, you can withstand it for a while, I will not encounter any danger in the Water Temple, and it is a waste to stay with me." ”
"I can't use it, it's useless to take it, forget it, give it to me. ”
After a little hesitation, Shuer quickly took over the two holy relics, and the previous facts proved that he was not completely unable to use the bishop's exclusive holy relics, but the process was very troublesome, and he didn't want to use them at all. But I definitely don't feel at ease if I don't take Lisa, even if it's to calm her heart, it's better to bring it, and now I don't even know what happened, so it's safer to make a few more preparations.
There was no time to talk nonsense, and after the handover of the holy relics, Lisa turned around and left with a few people from the temple, without even turning her head back, but from her tense body, she was actually not at ease at all, and she really wanted to stay and follow Shuer to help him, but she also knew that the future was unknown, and not adding to the chaos at this time was the greatest help.
"Fawn, Sasa, let's be three together. Seeing the others leave, Shul muttered for a moment with a calm face, "Let's go, go see the situation, at least find out what's going on." ”
"Hmm. The two ladies nodded together, and Mauria had somehow regained her deer form, and Saf had already carried the greatsword in her hand.
"Put it away, it's going to get you in trouble if you walk down the street with your weapon at this time. ”
The so-called trouble does not cause panic, but in such dangerous moments, weapons often symbolize safety and protection, and once you walk around fully armed and armed with weapons, it will not be long before you will be followed by a large group of ordinary people seeking refuge, and nothing can be done. And if the weapon is carried on the body, although it will also be seen, the signal transmitted is completely different from holding it in the hand, and the trouble will be much less.
Shure was not overly concerned, for in a matter of minutes, the city had been in a panic, and almost all functions were paralyzed. The city has not suffered from an urban crisis for hundreds of years under the painstaking management of the Lion King family for thousands of years, and these comfortable citizens have long forgotten how they feel when facing the crisis, and they don't know what to do except panic and fear.
"Go, don't worry about anything. ”
There were many people around who ran in a panic, there was no direct threat, and even they didn't know why they ran, but some people around them couldn't bear the fear and started to run towards the building, and the others instinctively moved together. Fighting for the road, pushing, stampede, and knowing without looking at Shure that it won't take long for these things to happen, and whether someone will take the opportunity to make trouble, or even commit crimes similar to robbery and murder, depends on the Lionheart family's usual control of the city and the speed of reaction this time, if it drags on for too long and no one comes forward to explain, then these things will inevitably follow.
But in a short period of time, you don't have to worry about the chaos to that point, as for whether those idiots who run around will trample each other to death because they scare themselves, it is not in the scope of consideration, they are not calm enough to be driven by emotions, and they can't blame others if they die.
"Hurry up, let's go to the palace, Sasa, and lead the way. Shuer slapped Saf's thigh hard, letting the red-faced female swordsman walking in front of her, "I want to know what happened, the palace is the best choice, anyone who goes to other places to find someone may not find anyone, only the palace will not, now all forces, including local officials and foreign guests, must be concentrating on the palace to discuss the current situation." Let's hurry over too, if it's a little later, the streets will be in chaos, and it won't be so easy to think about it. ”
Indeed, the streets are now becoming more and more chaotic, with cries and screams coming and going. There is not even a flow of people, because everyone is running around, and the result is that they are crowded together, no one can pass, people are crowded, people are crowded, and it is a scene of disaster.
Fortunately, the situation has not reached the worst point, the citizens have not completely lost their minds, seeing the three people who are obviously fighters hurrying by with grim faces, no one dares to entangle, they all choose to take the initiative to give way, these three people are not in a very good mood at first glance, and the surroundings are so chaotic, they are really entangled, who knows if they will suddenly attack themselves, or it is safer to get out of the way.
"Hey, Shure. ”
As soon as he walked out of the business district, Shul heard someone calling him, and he didn't need to look back, in this city, calling himself without honorifics, and it was a man's voice, it must have been Ferrers who had just been separated for a long time.
As soon as he turned around, sure enough, the red-haired Fellers was particularly obvious in the crowd, and it was not easy to recognize him, and there was a person next to him, who was also a priest if nothing else, but his height of more than two meters and his explosive muscles were more exaggerated than the district bishop of the sea god he had seen before. What's more, the head and plush body on the neck that is similar to that of a black bear, well, the priesthood from the orc steppe, mixed with Ferrus again, no need to ask, it can only be Camille, the archbishop of the god of war.
"Yo, what a coincidence, you're here too. Without stopping, Shul waved at the two with a smile on his face, as if he had just met two old friends while shopping, but with the chaotic background and panicked passers-by around him, it seemed particularly discordant.
"You're also going to the palace?" Ferres didn't show as easy as Shule, after all, he wasn't used to keeping his nervousness in his heart, "Great, let's go." ”
"Aren't you two legendary powerhouses?" Shuer didn't stop him, allowing the two of them to join him, but he still asked, "Why don't you just fly over, it's much easier than running." ”
"I don't know the way, neither of us has been to the palace. ”
"Very well, that's a philosophical answer. Shure rolled his eyes, and suddenly jumped on the spot and jumped onto the roof, "Go up, there are few people, besides, do you two know what happened?"
