Chapter 120: The Opening of the Second Act

After the arrival of the fire brigade, the imperial capital garrison immediately began to help the fire brigade extinguish the fire, using hand pumps to extinguish the fire outside the Ministry of the Interior.

Even the most experienced firefighters couldn't help but be terrified when they saw this terrible fire, saying that this was perhaps the largest fire in the history of the imperial capital.

While Marven asked his subordinates to help put out the fire, he also asked his soldiers to be vigilant and not let anyone out. This was the order that Ernest gave him before leaving, although Marven felt that anyone who ran into the current Ministry of the Interior would only be engulfed in flames, but he still did not dare not carry out Ernest's order.

On the other side, in the building where Sinjid and Ramrem were staying, Sophia was also looking worriedly at the burning building of the Ministry of the Interior.

Ramrem was unable to convince her in the end, and at Sophia's insistence, the maid had to bring her here, because Sophia had to see her brother come back with her own eyes.

"Miss," Ramrem walked into the room, now that Sinjid's ritual was complete, she naturally didn't want to be with that dirty fellow any longer, "rest assured, Mr. Swain will be out soon." ”

"Is it ......" Ramrem's comfort did not ease the girl's worries, after all, with such a terrible fire, how could she not worry about her brother's safety.

Ramrem looked at Sophia's back and fell silent. She did not tell Sophia the truth of the matter, but only reasoned that Swain's arrest was nothing more than Beria's personal discretion, and that Swain contacted Crown Prince Alexander, who would help him escape.

But who would have thought that the Ministry of the Interior would suddenly fall into such a catastrophe? Sophia almost fainted when she saw the explosion in the Ministry of the Interior, and even if she was woken up by Ramrem in time, she was still desperate to rush into the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find her brother.

Ramrem was so good at talking and making up countless lies to calm Sophia for the time being, but she also knew that if Sophia couldn't see Swain today, then no matter how she stopped her, Sophia would definitely go to Sven, even if it cost her life, she would die with her brother.

Thinking of Sophia's desperate rush to the Ministry of Internal Affairs just now, Ramrem couldn't help but have a headache, she couldn't understand why Sophia was so dependent on Swain, this kind of feeling was almost beyond everything, even life could be ignored.

"Come out quickly," Ramrem muttered in a low voice, "and if she doesn't come out, I'm afraid she'll go mad." ”

——————————————

In the Home Office, Sven was still dragging his injured leg and walking slowly.

The magic is better recovered, and the physical injuries are gradually recovering, the only problem is his leg, with his current condition, if he bumps into Ernest again, then I am afraid that this time he will not even have a chance to escape.

Taking advantage of this time, he is also slowly sorting out the thoughts in his head.

A lot has happened during this time, and although he was sealed by Manfred before, this does not prevent him from using the information he knows to analyze the current situation after breaking from the seal.

There was such an accident in the Ministry of the Interior, perhaps Alexander did it, but the man he had just met did not have any soldiers around him, and there was no sign of gunfire in the building, perhaps not a frontal conflict. Now that the Ministry of the Interior has become like this, it looks like Beria should be in decline at the moment, maybe he is dead.

No, if Beria died, there would be no reason for that person to be here. Running alone in such a dangerous place must have been extremely important, and in his capacity, it was most likely to ensure Beria's death, but it could also be for other purposes.

Will it be here to kill me?

It's unlikely, he was still in Pritown before I was sealed, and if my time in the seal wasn't much different from the time lost in the outside world, it shouldn't have been too long since I was sealed, that is, that person had only recently returned to Deweide. Then he may have heard that I was imprisoned in the Ministry of Internal Affairs by Beria, but he would not have made such a big move to kill me for this purpose.

The fire almost destroyed the Ministry of the Interior, and it seems that perhaps Alexander did not do it. To do this, it is impossible to do it without direct shelling of the Ministry of Internal Affairs with army and heavy firepower, but there are no traces of fighting here. Moreover, if Alexander did this, public opinion would only be against him, he was not the kind of person with courage.

So who is responsible for all this?

Swain thought of Manfred.

"Is this the big show you want me to watch?" Swain muttered to himself, remembering the conversation he had with Manfred in the cherry blossom forest in the back mountain on the day he sent Sophia to Astrad I.

"That's really ......" Sven gritted his teeth, and a little excitement rose on his calm face, "It's wonderful!"

Perhaps it was close to the exit, and Swain faintly heard the exchange of gunfire.

If there is a fight, who will it be? If that person appears here, then it is very likely that there will be the Imperial Capital garrison guarding outside, so in this case, there will be an exchange of fire with the Imperial Capital Garrison controlled by Alexander...... The most likely person is Beria, right?

Although the solid walls and floor slabs of the Ministry of the Interior building had been greatly damaged by the explosion and fire, the building was so closed that there were few windows, so even though Swain guessed that he was not far from the outside of the building, he could not tell the exact distance.

"It's a real obstacle. ”

Even if he is injured, his magic power has bottomed out due to a long time of sealing, but Swain is the one who inherited Jericho's magic path after all, and the magic power that has been inherited and precipitated for thousands of years is an extremely terrifying number, and at this point, even Manfred may not be able to surpass Sven.

The massive crow's claws shattered the walls, and finally, Sven saw the smoke-shrouded sky outside.

Leaning against the wall, Sven slowly walked into the broken wall, his breath was very unsteady, just using a little strength, it had already made him very difficult.

"That's ......"

Swain looked at the troops who were fighting with the Imperial Capital Garrison, and the outfit on their bodies was actually the style of the Southern Legion.

"What's going on?"

Swain was confused at this moment, even if he had a good brain, there was still no way to analyze it without sufficient intelligence. He didn't know exactly what had happened during the time he had been sealed, so he couldn't even guess.

"What's going on?"

Marven, who was blocking the building outside the Ministry of the Interior and extinguishing the fire by the way, also wanted to ask the same question, he had no idea how the Southern Legion of the Vitz came out, it was clear that they should be stationed in Port Leon, why they could suddenly bypass the garrison in Lanz Town and kill the Ministry of the Interior in the center of the city.

"Damn!" Marven hid behind the corner, because he received an order to guard and extinguish the fire, so he only asked his subordinates to set up temporary improvised barricades, and did not think about building fortifications at all. So when the Southern Army sneak attacked, they immediately suffered heavy losses, and in desperation, Marven had no choice but to take the remnants of the building as a cover and try his best to stop the enemy.

Although I don't know how the Southern Army avoided the sentry posts along the road and entered the imperial capital, but fortunately, they didn't carry heavy weapons in order to sneak in, otherwise, with just a few cannons, Marven and they would all have to die here.

"Shoot back! Shoot back!" Marven's temper also came up after being beaten by the Southern Army, and he snatched the machine gun from the hands of his subordinates beside him, stretched the muzzle of the gun out of the corner, and fired at the enemy together. Because of this obstacle, the Southern Army was unable to further expand its results except for the initial sneak attack.

Swain saw all of this, and although he didn't understand what was going on, it might be a good opportunity for him, as the Southern Legion and the Imperial Capital Garrison were holding each other down, and it was a good time for him to escape the building.

He unleashed the ravens and sent his envoys to find Ramrem and the others who had unlocked the seal for him.

However, although Sven's crows look similar to ordinary crows, because they are made of magic, they will inevitably appear more powerful than ordinary crows, and perhaps the soldiers in the fierce battle will not pay attention to these crows - even if they are not in the heat of battle, they are unlikely to care about these common birds - but for some people, these crows flying out of the fire are obviously a clear signal.

Swain's crow flew into the air with thick smoke billowing out of the air, using his high-altitude vision to search for Ramrem and the others, although it was difficult to find people from a group of buildings from the Ministry of the Interior, but it was too simple for those in the buildings to see the situation of the Ministry of the Interior.

Ramrem saw the crow in the sky above the Ministry of the Interior at a glance, obviously ordinary birds would not brave such a big smoke and stay in that position, so Ramrem immediately thought that this was the Swain demon.

"Mr. Swain is coming out. ”

Hearing this, Sophia immediately cheered up, and she threw herself to the window, eagerly looking for her brother's figure.

"Please don't be in a hurry. Ramrem walked up and grabbed Sophia so that she wouldn't fall too close to the ledge, "Mr. Swain will come out, please wait a little longer." ”

Although it was not known how Ramrem had judged the news of her brother, Sophia decided to trust her for the time being, after all, it was the only solace she could get now.

However, since Ramrem could see Swain's demons, others could also see it.

Sven's angel had just searched for Sinjid, who was beckoning to him from the rooftop, when he was shot down by a sword. That's right, it's a sword, and the style of this weapon is all too familiar to Swain.

"Jan Noe Darres. Swain immediately followed the trajectory of the sword, and sure enough, Yang was standing on the top of the bell tower on the other side of the Ministry of the Interior, looking at Swain coldly.

The bell tower at Yang's feet had been almost engulfed in flames, and in a few moments, it would be time to burn to where Yang stood. But the white-haired boy had no fear of color at all, as if he regarded the flames as nothing.

Is this the work of Lesson 13? Sven immediately thought of this possibility, but was immediately rejected by himself. Although he only had a one-sided relationship with Count Hecate, he still saw the count's character in that meeting, and he was definitely not a person who was determined to do such a thing. And most importantly, he had no reason to do so.

"If that's ......" Swain looked at Young, and Yang in the distance also looked at Swain, their eyes meeting in midair, "Is this why you attacked me before? You, with Manfred." ”

Although the smoke obscured his vision a little, Sven could still clearly see the shape of Yang's mouth.

"The ending of this time......" Reading Yang's mouth shape, the corners of Sven's mouth were very subtlely hooked, as if he was laughing, but also seemed to be an illusion, "Ah, I'm looking forward to it too!"

The fire had spread to Yang's feet, and the white-haired boy leaped backwards and disappeared into the smoke. Of course, Sven would not so simply think that a powerful battle mage like Yang would die in the fire, obviously, Yang is a curtain puller, and he will open the curtain on the second act of Manfred's play.
