Chapter Twenty-Three: The Great Change

Why is it getting dark, is it going to rain...

The capital of Noze, the civilian area of Cutland. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Evan and Leah were carrying their bags, followed by an old man with a smoking gun in his mouth, who was slowly walking towards the west gate of Ketland.

It was close to noon, and Evan and his party had only passed through the northern walls of the city of Ketland - which had to be admitted that Ketland was indeed large (although they could not directly pass through the nobility and royal quarters, so they had to walk in circles).

The clouds gathered over Cutland, and the air became a little oppressive.

"Look, it's the crows again, we've seen them on the walls of Gilberg before. Evan looked in the direction Leah was pointing, and saw that in a clearing at the edge of the city wall, four or five crows were jumping and fluttering, looking a little nervous.

"I'm starting to lose the slightest affection for these crows. Evan tightened his shoulder straps. He remembered the strange crow that suddenly attacked him during the rainstorm, and he was still a little afraid.

"Okay, aren't you going out of the city through the West Gate, and I'll help us get some good horses when we get there. Kritolanff put away his cigarette gun and said with a sigh.

"Wow-"

Without warning, the royal quarters in the center of the city suddenly erupted with a dazzling golden light. Then a ring-shaped golden shock wave slowly spread outward, until it swept across the entire Noze, and the scene became extremely spectacular.

Pedestrians on the street stopped to watch, and many heads poked out of the alley, and everyone stared blankly at this magical landscape.

"What is this..."Aven stretched out his hand and fished out of thin air in the golden light wave that spread outward, only to see that the golden powder in his palm was emitting a little starlight, but after a while, it dimmed and turned into black gravel powder.

It's quiet again...

"Boom-!!"

Another loud sound like a landslide emanating from the very center of the light, and the tremendous energy it caused seemed to shake the whole of Ketland.

A humanoid creature in armor, a cloak over its shoulders, and a greatsword, glowing golden and wielding wings, rose from the ground. At the same time, a huge whirlpool formed in the originally gloomy sky, and a dazzling light shone from the center of the whirlpool. The light touched the ground, forming a golden passage connecting heaven and earth, guiding the humanoid creature away. The people of the city, who had never seen such a miracle before, trembled and fell to their knees, and began to pray.

Is this an angel...

Evan was deeply shocked by what he saw, and even Kridolanf, who was accustomed to seeing the world behind him and was unfazed, was also extremely shocked.

The royal district suddenly became agitated, the alarm bells in the city were sounded one after another, and the soldiers stationed in the city ran in groups towards the source of the light. However, in less than half a minute, the originally dim golden light erupted into two new waves of energy one after another. Two golden shockwaves spread out again, and two humanoid creatures that were exactly the same as before flew out one after another. The only difference is that the weapons in the hands are no longer greatswords, but large axes and spears.

......

Cutland, 1st floor of the Royal Castle, west side of the conference hall.

Wells IV walked anxiously back and forth at the long table with his hands behind his back, as if waiting for news; the aged Interior Officer, Lauorf, leaned back in his chair and squinted his eyes to carefully examine a thick ancient book; the military officer sat quietly aside, taking out his handkerchief and wiping the cold sweat from his forehead; the chief knight Manken led a group of silver-armored guards at the door of the meeting, vigilantly observing every move outside; and the treasurer, Leriool, sat in his seat with a solemn face, crossed his hands, and rhythmically tapped his fingers in his arms, watching Wells IV quietly。

"Report!" a soldier scrambled in. I saw that he was gray-headed, his armor was crooked, as if he had just crawled out of the ruins, and he was very embarrassed.

"The holy pool has dried up, and only one of the four gods in Valhalla is intact!"

"What! Three were destroyed!" exclaimed the crowd. They had already expected the worst when the lightwing creatures had risen into the air just now, but the cost of destroying the three was too great.

"How can this be!" said Wells IV, clenching his fists and stamping his feet in anger, "who did it!"

"It's not clear who did it, but the intruders knocked down more than a dozen guards almost instantly... Moreover, and the induction crystal of Silver Shield City, the induction crystal has also been destroyed! The whole crystal has turned black, and it has lost its light!" The soldier reported another piece of news that was enough to make people collapse.

"What! There are still people who can destroy the induction crystal of Silver Shield City! Then why are you still standing stupidly, why don't you hurry up and check it out for me!"

"Yes!" the soldier straightened his helmet and bowed his head in fear.

"Also, let the chief knight guard the last idol! If he can't keep it, I'll cut off his head!" said Wells IV's face, a small curly beard that trembled slightly with anger. He bared his teeth and clenched his fists, his features almost crumpled.

"Your Majesty, I've found it," Laufer sipped to his fingers, turning the pages back and forth, "it will take two years just to recall one of the Broken Immortals, and we won't be able to fully repair it anytime soon." ”

"It will take two years for one!" Wells IV was so angry when he heard this that he wanted to beat people, "then what should we do, the four gods are the final weapons guarding Noze, it seems that we must ask for help from Silver Shield City!"

"Your Majesty!" Relior suddenly dissuaded, "the priority should be to block the news rather than rush to get in touch with Silver Shield City." After all, the four idols of Noze cannot be shaken by ordinary external forces, even if the perpetrator has some extremely special ability, but when he destroys the idol, he will be eaten by the huge energy of the idol, in other words, he should be in a state of injury now, and it is very serious, so according to my judgment, the assailant should not have run far at the moment, he should still be in Cettland, as long as the city gate is blocked, he will be unable to fly. ”

"What Lord Leriol said is that it is quite unpleasant to spread the favor of people who owe Silver Shield City, so let's do it. Wells IV was said to think about it, and then nodded in agreement with Reliol.

"As for the tainted crystals... It seems that Laurel remembered something, and with a vague memory began to consult another yellowed ancient book, "here. . . Here's the record... Not... Sure enough, the same thing happened in Iron Rock City in the Second Age. ”

Wells IV looked anxious and kept brushing his small curly beard: "What happened to Iron Rock City later?"

"Later," Laufer said, shaking his head, flipping through the ancient books, "the last few pages have been torn out, and no more detailed account can be found." ”

"But it shouldn't be a good thing," Laurel then made another helpless expression.

"Report!" another soldier stumbled in.

"What's the matter!" said Wells IV, kicking over his chair, anxiety and irritability evident in his limbs.

"The church... Blood... Royals of the church!" The soldier was incoherent, and as soon as he entered the door, he collapsed directly to the ground. He was soaked in blood, and his wide-eyed eyes looked at the ground in horror, as if he had just crawled out of purgatory.
