Chapter 116: Water Polo Storming the City (I)
"It's ...... What?"
Parker, who was still in a daze, looked at the sky where something had changed, and couldn't help but mumble to himself. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
His mind was a little overwhelmed for a while, but he knew that something had changed.
Very big change.
In normal times, his instinct might tell him that something is wrong, that this thing is dangerous, and that running is the best policy. But for some reason, at this moment, in the face of the extremely spectacular "foreign object" in the sky, his instinct seemed to fail, and he couldn't resist at all.
And around Parker......
Obviously, he is not the only one who looks up at the sky.
The sudden turn of events attracted everyone's attention, and no one paid any attention to the fire and the two teenagers on the cross. The people around the square, the nobles in the stands, the paladins and priests scattered around...... Everyone present raised their heads at this moment and looked at the sky above them, which was completely different at the moment.
"Oh my God......"
The bustling crowd around the entire square seemed to have been suddenly inspired by something, and tens of thousands of people raised their heads together, their eyes widened, and their expressions of panic or fear appeared, as if they were some kind of grand cult ritual.
They didn't know what was going on, but the only thing they could see was a "foreign object" that suddenly appeared in the sky.
That's right, the foreign body, all the people present, just want to get the word to describe it.
They didn't know what was in the sky. The whole sky was blocked by this strange "foreign object". It was as if a mirror suddenly appeared above their heads, and everything on the ground was vaguely reflected in it.
Moreover, if they looked closely, they could also find that the mirror was curved with an inexplicable moisture.
Because it all happened so suddenly, everyone's hearts were taken away from it. Many people held their breath and didn't even have the strength to exclaim, let alone react.
"It's ...... Water?"
Soon, someone recognized what was on top of their heads.
The same goes for Parker. He barely composure, looked at the sparkling behemoth above their heads, saw the reflection of the entire square in it, and recognized what it was made of.
He couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
It's water......
It's really water, boundless water.
What is going on, why is there such a large expanse of the sky that was exceptionally clear just now...... A large ...... Parker didn't know how to describe it, it felt like a lake suddenly flying above their heads.
Why is this happening?
Is it magic?
As soon as the thought came to him, Parker immediately shook his head in horror and strangled it in his head.
No...... It's not magic, if there really is such a terrible magic, if you want to cast it, the magic fluctuations it emits will be incomparable. This kind of magic fluctuation, even if they are just ordinary people, can definitely feel it.
And this "foreign object", it appeared so suddenly, as if it had popped out of the void on its own, out of thin air, without warning, and it made people feel frightened.
It can't be magic!
Can...... What the hell is this?
Parker was on the verge of madness.
At the same time, in the stands on the left side of the square, the nobles reacted no more calmly than the common people.
Half of them stood up, and some spilled over their drinks and snacks. They stared blankly at the vision in the sky, so shocked that they couldn't even speak, and forgot whether it was time for them to leave.
"Son...... Don't look, we can't stay here, we ...... We need to hurry up and get to church. Suddenly, Aix's expression changed. He recovered from his stupor, patted Dick on the shoulder, and whispered a urge.
Dick was shocked, came back to his senses, and looked at Ax in disdain.
"Father, father...... What is this thing?"
Ax didn't answer, just grabbed Dick and tried to walk out.
He pinched his thighs, using the pain to awaken his senses, feigning composure, trying not to show himself the same dazed expression as the others.
"I ...... I don't know. ”
He muttered to himself in a trembling voice that only he could hear.
In this way, mixed in with the bewildered crowd, Aix and Dick hurried in the direction of the church.
Meanwhile.
There is no doubt that the influence of the "foreign body" in the sky goes far beyond that. It was not only the people around the square who felt the shock, but also the rest of the royal capital - those who did not come to watch the execution.
Maybe they were hurrying on the street, maybe they were resting at home, but at the moment when the mutation happened, they were all like demons, and they all walked out of the street and looked at the sky where the change occurred.
"Mom...... What is this?"
"I—I don't know. ”
The streets of the outer city are full of stunned faces looking up at the sky.
Perhaps they are far away from the square, and this "foreign object" looks different in their eyes.
It is like a slope with a curve, the direction of the square is the valley of the slope, and from the square outward, the curve rises, as if it is ...... It's like a sphere.
A gigantic sphere suspended above the royal capital.
It was so huge that anyone in the royal capital could not see the whole picture of this sphere, and could only guess its entire shape by the few parts they saw.
However, surprisingly, no one wanted to flee the royal capital out of panic. Everyone stared at the huge sphere in the sky as if they had fallen for some kind of magic, and they were even a little religious.
They looked pilgrimily in the direction of the square, at the faint light of the fire reflected in the sky in that direction, and at the even more vague figure in the firelight.
Meanwhile.
Outside the royal capital, in a small, nameless village near Havenley.
A small village that has always been calm and peaceful, where the villagers live and work in peace. If it was usual, they would also look at the distant royal capital from time to time, showing an envious expression.
And in the tavern of the village.
"The search of the church was really powerful, and it almost cost me my life to help that kid find someone. ”
An old man, who was sitting in the lively tavern at the moment, drank all the ale in his cup in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and then sighed with the strong man at the same table.
It was the boss of the "Silver Fox" who had just escaped from the royal capital.
After helping Benjamin find out the news, he stayed in the royal capital. Until yesterday, when the church relaxed its vigilance in the royal capital, he secretly left the royal capital with a friend.
At the moment, he was resting with his companion in the village tavern.
"In the next few days, I can only take one step and see. Hearing the old man say this, he shook his head, and without waiting for the other party to answer, he immediately continued, "By the way, your brother, did he send my son to Ikor smoothly?"
However, the strong man at the same table as him was stunned and motionless as if he had not heard at all.
His eyes widened, and he didn't look at the "Silver Fox" boss who was talking to him.
"What's the matter?" the old man patted the strong man on the shoulder and asked a little louder.
The strong man barely came back to his senses, and his eyes were a little strange. He glanced at the old man, and couldn't help but look in the direction behind the old man, as if there was something particularly attractive in the distance, and he couldn't take his eyes off.
"Water, Water Polo......"
He did not answer the old man's words, but let out this somewhat frightened murmur.
Water polo?
What is this?
The old man felt even stranger, but there was no way, his companion was already unable to communicate, so he had to turn around himself to see what was strange.
Through the window of the tavern behind him, he could see the outline of the royal capital in the distance.
If you look at it in normal times, the royal capital is a huge complex of buildings surrounded by city walls. The whole picture is a white city rising on a vast dark brown plain. However, at this moment, when I looked at the past, a water balloon suddenly appeared in the sky above this magnificent white city.
That's right, it's a water polo.
A water balloon that was so far away and still crystal clear to them.
In a daze, the boss of the "Silver Fox" couldn't help but stretch out his hand to make a gesture. If Wang Du was the size of a palm in his eyes, then this water ball that suddenly appeared was the size of half of his palm.
...... What's that?
The old man felt his heartbeat almost skip a beat.
You must know that in his long career as a mercenary, he has experienced countless strange things, and has wandered on the edge of life and death dozens of times. However, when he saw this scene, he had an unprecedented feeling of being shocked.
A water balloon the size of half the royal capital suddenly appeared above the head of the royal capital.
What does this mean?
This—this is a goddamn punishment!
The old man took a deep breath and barely came back to his senses. However, he suddenly found that he stood up involuntarily, and in this short period of time, he broke out in a cold sweat, and the clothes on his back were wet.
"The royal capital...... What happened again?"
As soon as he subconsciously said it, he realized that the tavern, which was originally extremely noisy, had become silent at the moment.
Everyone put down their glasses, stood up, and as if attracted by some strange magic, they went to the door or the window, and looked at the water balloon above the royal capital, holding their breath, as if they were not looking at the royal capital and the water balloon, but at the manifested gods.
There was a bang, and the stunned bartender knocked over the ale, but it didn't even attract anyone's attention.
So, the bartender could only crouch down in panic and began to wipe the wine all over the floor with a rag. However, while wiping, he still looked up from time to time, and couldn't help but look at the king and the water balloon in the distance, and his eyes were reluctant to blink more.
