Chapter 486: The School Where the Mage is Held
Seeing this, the soldiers guarding the city gate had the idea of stopping the mages to check, but the scene was too chaotic. In the burning streets, people from the city were constantly running out, and the chaotic flow of people rushed around, making the soldiers dizzy.
To put it bluntly, they don't have enough manpower, and they can't control the scene in this situation.
"Hey, you guys...... You wait......
The captain of the defending soldiers tried to hold back the mage who was rushing in.
"What are you waiting for? The fire is so big, why don't you hurry up and put out the fire!" Wallis stuffed a wooden barrel directly into the other party's hand, and it was a scolding to split his head and cover his face.
The captain of the soldiers was a little confused.
And in the city, the fire does tend to grow, and the soldiers defending the city do have the duty to fight the fire. So in the end, unable to bear the pressure, they still rushed into the city to put out the fire with the barrel handed to them by the mage.
As for the mages, they carried barrels in their hands, and they also pretended to be fighting fires, and entered Amber City without any problems.
After entering the city, there was black smoke and fire everywhere...... The scene was chaotic.
"Quick, where is the well? Go get water and put out the fire!"
Wallis shouted loudly as he gestured with his eyes to the mages beside him. There were still several wells near the street, and in the midst of the chaotic crowd, they also dispersed and ran in the direction of the wells.
In the process of running and fetching water, gradually, no one noticed that their group of people carrying wooden barrels suddenly disappeared into the crowd.
And in Amber City on another remote street.
"You're slow to come. ”
Miles looked at the mages who were gradually gathering here, shrugged his shoulders, and said casually.
"You're setting the fire a little too big. Frank looked back, and there were still wisps of black rock floating in the sky, and the fire had clearly not been extinguished.
"The fire isn't big enough, where can you get in?" Miles replied with a head of his head, a little helpless.
"Don't talk about that. Wallis said, "Have you investigated the abandoned hospital that Mr. Benjamin said?
Miles heard this and nodded.
"I'm also quite surprised by this. He touched his chin and said, "The church has hidden that place very well, and now it has been rebuilt into a strange school, and it seems that there are some magical powers that protect it." I didn't even know there was such a place."
Wallis said, "It doesn't matter, when everyone is here, we'll go." ”
- The legendary place where the mages were imprisoned was the real purpose of their painstaking efforts to infiltrate the city.
In fact, when Benjamin first told Wallis the news, he was actually surprised.
The church has captured some of the mages of Carretus, locked them up in a building in Amber City, brainwashed them, and finally turned them into undercover mages who can serve the church—this kind of thing is really weird, isn't it?
However, this was Benjamin's instruction to them, so they had no choice but to believe it.
What Wallis knows so far is that Benjamin and his party are trapped by the church and can't leave. Therefore, while the church brought a large army to encircle and suppress Benjamin, he could only take the remaining mages and make trouble somewhere else.
They have to draw the attention of the church to themselves.
"By the way, how are you preparing for the disguise?" Miles asked again.
"It's ready. Wallis nodded.
As for how to attract the attention of the church, they also came up with a small trick.
They found a mage who was good at water magic, and his height and appearance were similar to Benjamin's. Therefore, they are going to disguise him a little more, to make Benjamin look like him, to mislead the church.
- The church can get a fake king, why can't they get a fake Benjamin?
As long as this fake Benjamin led a team to attack the place where the mage was being held, the church would definitely think that it had been tricked again. They would have felt that Benjamin had slipped out of the encirclement a long time ago, and that there was no point in them continuing to encircle.
Then the people in the encirclement can be saved!
It's a relatively simple plan, and it's not easy to go awry with execution. This detention center for the mages must also be of great significance to the church. After being attacked, the church could not have turned a blind eye and would have sent someone over to a greater or lesser extent.
And if there are people here, there will be fewer people to encircle and suppress there.
So, in essence, it's still pulling. Let the left-behind mage pull the church to another place, and Benjamin's chances of breaking through will be greatly increased.
"I hope it really works......"
After the people arrived, they walked in the direction of the detention center.
After all, it is a place where mages are held, and although it is close to the center of the city, the area is still very secluded and there are no pedestrians. Once in the vicinity of the place, Wallis glanced back at the group and pulled the mage, who had already pretended to be Benjamin, to the front.
"Merck, it's up to you. ”
Merck nodded and walked forward.
From the outside, it looks like a normal school, and it's quiet inside, with a little noise coming from time to time. But as mages, they could feel a faint fluctuation of magic from this place.
This one...... It must be the magic power that protects this place, right?
Benjamin also told them what keys they needed to get in and out of the place. They don't have the key, so they can only break through by force.
Merck chanted the incantation.
He couldn't be like Benjamin, who could conjure up an ice arrow with a single ice shattering technique. Therefore, he chose an intermediate-level magic, the Ice Storm Technique, and suddenly summoned a large field of sharp ice picks above the head of this school.
Following Benjamin's example, he clapped his hands indifferently, and the icicles poured down like a torrential rain towards the school.
Boom! Boom!
With a series of sounds, the ice picks descended on the school moments before they landed, and suddenly, a golden barrier appeared above the school, blocking those ice picks from the outside.
But...... The originally quiet school was also in a commotion at this moment.
"How is it possible?
"Where are the guards?
Soon, several shadows appeared from the building's entrance. It was a group of teachers dressed in black, but judging by their keen mental powers, they were priests.
At the same time, a group of paladins dressed in ordinary knights' clothes also rushed over from the side of the building, looking at the hundreds of mages gathered at the entrance of the building in disbelief.
"How's it going? Are you happy with this surprise?" Looking at the priest and paladin who rushed out, Merck followed Benjamin's appearance and raised her chin to reveal a mocking smile.
Seeing this, Wallis couldn't help but whisper to Frank beside him: "This...... Isn't it a bit too much?"
Frank whispered back, "It's okay, in fact, Mr. Benjamin is usually very pompous, not too much." ”
"Okay......"
And these priests seem to have been deceived by Merck's performance.
"Yes...... Is that you?" They were all startled, and they stepped back several times in a row, staring at Merck deadly, "You...... How did you end up here?"
"Why not? If you want to, it's not a surprise. Merck raised her eyebrows again, shrugged her shoulders and put on an innocent look, and then said in a cold tone, "But...... Don't even think about leaving any of you today. ”
When the priests heard this, their faces sank, revealing an unusually grim look. It seems that Benjamin's reputation seems to have cast a big shadow on them.
The mages behind Merck were a little helpless.
"What does this pose look like...... It's really a bit like that. Wallis was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but whisper.
"What should I do? I kind of want to punch him. Frank took a deep breath and kept confronting the priest without smiling, but the words popped out of his mouth quietly.
