Chapter 192: Prelude

It was definitely not a good day for the inhabitants of the seventeenth, twelfth, and ninth arrondissements, because while they were still asleep, a group of city guards and city guards broke in and drove them all into the streets of the other surrounding districts, and they were not even allowed to take the salute.

Although they were very angry about this, they did not dare to complain any more, because there were a few brave and ruthless boys before, and they tried to resist the drive of these guards and city guards by virtue of some of the connections they had established in the past, but now they were all corpses and scattered on both sides of the road, waiting for the corpses to be cleaned up.

It's just that, compared to these ordinary residents who were kicked out of their homes without bringing anything, the owners of the factories in the 9th district suffered heavy losses, not only because they stopped for a day, but also because some contracts that had to be delivered within a limited time could not be completed, and they had to pay a lot of compensation, some of which even exceeded the contract goods themselves.

But even so, these people did not have the intention of resisting, because there were some well-informed people among them, and they found out that the action of emptying the three districts of Lake Town was not the work of the nobles of Lake Town, but the decision of a high-ranking wizard of the Wizarding Association.

If it was only the nobles of Seventh Lake, they could have banded together and instigated the forces behind them to hold the nobles of Seventh Lake accountable, and as long as the Alcott family was not involved, they would be able to force the nobles to bow their heads and make a short deal, thus reducing some losses.

But once this matter involves the high-level of the Wizards Association, no matter how strong the power behind them is, they will not dare to act rashly, and it is even possible to directly throw a few of them out to curry favor with the high-level of the Wizards Association.

"Do you know what this is for?" Standing on the edge of the platform where you could see District 9, a factory owner apprehensively asked his friend for news.

"It should be related to the waste capital. "The same factory owner, apparently the person being questioned is of a different status and can know some secret things.

The waste capital is not a big secret for those who have the ability, but for the vast majority of ordinary people, they have never heard of it, so this simple answer has aroused the curiosity of some people. It's a pity that the factory owner seems to have some concerns, and he doesn't dare to say more, but simply prevaricates with a few vague words.

However, when these factory owners were talking, they didn't notice that there was a guard not far from them who pricked up his ears to eavesdrop on their words, and when the attention of the people around them was all elsewhere, he quietly retreated from the crowd, and then quickly ran to a remote place, took out a bottle of potion and quickly poured it on his body, then jumped into the lake, and quickly swam towards the edge of the nearest platform in the ninth district.

Dangerous creatures are hidden in the waters of the lake during the Silver Moon Period, which is something that everyone in the entire lake town knows, and it is impossible to enter the water even on a raft during this time, let alone swimming in the lake.

However, when the young guard swam in the water, he did not encounter any danger, and even though some of the murderous creatures hidden in the water at the bottom of the lake were attracted by the vibration of the waves, they felt something disgusting when they were about to approach the guard, and they swam away quickly, making the guard feel no danger along the way.

After entering the ninth district, the guard, with his familiarity with the terrain, got into an alley that few people had walked on, passed through some dark passages in the factory area, and in a short time, came to the small lake district sandwiched between the seventeenth, twelfth, and ninth three districts, and stood in a small cabin on the edge of the platform, waiting for what he was expecting.

The guard's name was Bell, the captain of the guard of a factory owner, who had served as a soldier on the front line of the fog area, and originally with his exploits on the front line, if not to become a knight, he would at least be able to serve as a high-ranking officer in the city guard or guard when he returned.

It's a pity that Bell gave up his position, handed over his job qualifications to the orphans of his comrades who saved him on the battlefield, and was introduced to become the captain of the guard of a factory owner.

The reason why Bell did not hesitate to use the last bottle of wizard potion on his body this time and sneaked back to the ninth district was to wait for an opportunity, an opportunity that could further transform his ancestral state, and also an opportunity to allow him to regain his noble qualifications.

Different from other ordinary people, Bell has a certain understanding of the waste capital, when he was in the mechanical fortress in the fog area, he had not only heard a comrade-in-arms mention the opening of the entrance to the waste capital, but also knew that when the entrance to the waste capital was opened, there would be some mysterious things running out of it.

According to the description of the comrade-in-arms, those mysterious things can help the person possessed by them to complete the higher form of ancestral state, and the best evidence of this is the comrade-in-arms himself who is not of noble origin, but has entered the hidden ancestral state.

Bell knew very well that his body had no possibility of further ancestral transformation because of his past injuries, but he was unwilling to be a captain of the guard for the rest of his life, he hoped to get a higher status, especially after seeing the extravagant life of those nobles, he faintly regretted giving up his original qualifications.

Now there is an opportunity for him to further become an ancestor, as long as the ancestral state of his body reaches a higher level, then he will be able to go to the front line of the fog region again, make war achievements, and regain the qualification for knighthood.

So when he learned that the Wasted Capital would appear, Bell immediately made the decision to use up the potion he had kept for years to expel wizards and sneak back to District 9.

While in hiding, Bell waited for several hours, still not seeing any movement on the lake, and he began to wonder if his judgment had been wrong. Perhaps the entrance to the ruined capital does not appear at all in the lake district in the middle of the three urban districts, but in other places, or maybe the ruined capital does not appear at all.

Just when Bell's mind was in chaos and his thoughts were rushing, from the direction of the aristocratic district, several floating airships slowly flew over the seventeenth district, and finally docked over the lake near the seventeenth district.

Seeing the floating airship, Bell couldn't help but show joy on his face, hurriedly took off his clothes, and then according to the method given to him by his comrade-in-arms, cut his hand, smeared a pattern on his chest with blood, and then quietly waited for the mysterious thing in the ruined capital to appear.

However, just as Bell was preparing to welcome the possession of the mysterious thing in the waste capital, on a floating airship, the spiritual wizard Jesse seemed to be aware of it, looked at the wooden house where Bell was, and then smiled: "Another guy who is not afraid of death, really thinks that the foreign objects that come out of the waste capital are so easy to deal with." ”

The words of the spiritual wizard Jesse also attracted the attention of the others, and these people checked the situation of the wooden house in their own ways, and all of them showed a little disdain on their faces, and they had no idea of paying attention to it anymore, only Leo, who was carrying a large box on his back, still wrote down the patterns drawn on the chests of the people in the wooden house through the spiritual net.

The reason why Leo pays attention to this pattern is because this pattern is a pure Turing root, and the entire root is composed of three basic roots, and the meaning of the root is mainly to guide, absorb and fuse, and it is not difficult to hear from the words of other people around that the people in the house should want to absorb and fuse, and wait for a while after the entrance of the waste capital is opened, the alien who runs out of it.

Although this Turing root is very simple and only the most basic Turing root, the combination of the three basic roots is very instructive, and Leo feels that if he can drill the combination of them, he may be able to create a more complex Turing root based on this Turing root.

Perhaps it was because Leo was too obsessed with collecting all kinds of knowledge in the past two days, which made his curiosity and desire to collect extremely strong, as long as it was knowledge that he had never seen, he couldn't help but include it in the database and study it.

Just as Leo was habitually studying this Turing root, the black-robed wizard Riser suddenly said to Charles Lonco on the side, "Aren't you going to stop this guy? If he really succeeds in possessing him, it is likely to be another quarry rebellion." ”

Charles Langko glanced coldly at the black-robed wizard Risser, and said in a deep voice: "Whoever caused the trouble, who cleaned up, if it weren't for your Fourth Tower to pass on the possessed runes, how could so many people do such a self-defeating thing?"

After saying that, Charles Langco turned around and returned to the cabin of the airship, and after a while, he took out a box, opened it in front of everyone, and then handed the bracelets inside to Leo and the others, and said: "This bracelet will guide us to the thirteenth floor of the Great Library, but the location of the entry is different, so we must meet at the entrance of the big tree hole, and then go to the forty-third floor, don't break in alone, the danger there is definitely not something that we can handle alone." ”

After listening to Charles Lonco's narration, everyone kept the bracelet in their hands. At this time, Leo suddenly spoke: "Your Excellency Expeditionee, do you have any extra bracelets?"

Charles Langko was stunned, frowned, and puzzled, "Are you going to take the others into the waste capital?"

"It's not a human, it's a puppet. Leo gestured to the large box behind him.

"Is this Peter Alcott's puppet maid? I've heard of this work before, but I didn't expect him to entrust it to you before he died, it seems that you have a different relationship with him. Charles Ronco looked at the box behind Leo curiously, and instead of taking out the bracelet, he asked without objection: "Can you open it and take a look?"

Hearing Charles Lanco's request, Leo did not refuse, took the box down, and opened it in front of everyone.

Although everyone present was a powerful wizard, they were also very interested in Peter Alcott's puppet maid, because this puppet maid's combat power was really amazing, and there were countless foreign objects in the fog and cult powerhouses that died in its hands, and even some wizards in the wizarding association who spied on Peter Alcott's mechanical knowledge also fell into its hands.

It's just that after seeing this puppet, everyone showed a disappointed expression, because they were not able to find any traces of witchcraft magic from this puppet, and although this puppet in front of them was very beautiful, it was very different from the rumored puppet maid.

"This is Peter Alcot's puppet maid?" Zorohan, the nightkin who had always been silent, couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and questioned: "Why doesn't it have any power at all? Why does it look so ordinary, it's just an ordinary puppet, and it's not a moving mechanical puppet, it's just a carved puppet." With that, he looked at Leo and asked, "Could it be that Peter Alcott's puppet was replaced before it was handed over to you?"

After the suspicious words of the Nightkin Solo Khan were spoken, everyone around them couldn't help but nod, after all, they had also heard about what happened at Peter Alcott's wake and knew how much Anna Alcourt valued her son's puppet maid, and it was not impossible for the relics to be replaced before they were handed over.

Everyone's misunderstanding was seen by Leo, and Sorohan's words were equivalent to an invisible help, helping him save his tongue for explanation, so he pretended not to care, and said: "For me, it doesn't matter if this puppet is real or not, I just promised Peter Alcott to send his puppet to the waste capital, as for whether this puppet is Peter Alcott's maid puppet or not, it doesn't matter, as long as the inheritance relic proves that it is, it is." ”

"What a cunning fellow!" Lambasian, the equally taciturn Misty Rambler, looked at Leo and said with a blank face.

Others smiled slightly, after all, a cunning collaborator was far more useful to them than a.

After satisfying his curiosity, Charles Lanco no longer dwelled on the trivial matter of why Leo wanted the puppet to wear the bracelet, took out one of the extra bracelets and handed it to Leo, watching Leo put the bracelet on the puppet's wrist, re-closing the box, and carrying the box behind him.

At this time, there were suddenly bursts of exclamations from the other floating airships, and then I saw that the mercenaries, adventurers, and so on sent by the nobles of the town on the seventh lake to participate in the execution of the abandoned capital all rushed to the edge of the ship, their heads sticking out of the railing, and looking down.

As for Leo and the others, they didn't need to look down to know what was happening below, because just now, a powerful energy fluctuation poured out from under the ship, instantly occupying the sky above.

Leo can easily see this fountain of energy that shows purple-black light through his psionic skills, and others can also feel the aura of this energy through various witchcraft, but they are not as intuitive as the scene they see with their psionic vision.

Then, everyone and others also stretched out their heads to look at the lake under the boat, and saw a huge whirlpool appear on the surface of the lake, and some silver-white points of light in the center of the whirlpool swam disorderly, trying to break out of the whirlpool from time to time, but they were pulled back by an invisible force.

Only one point of light managed to break out of the whirlpool, hovering in the air for a moment, and rushed towards the man in the cabin in District 9, merging with it.
