Chapter 806: Influencing and Covering Up the Truth
The shops on the outskirts of the upper floor have been on fire, and the chain of lightning ignited a burning substance, fortunately, because of the late night, there were not many people in most of the shops and did not cause much damage, and the fire was quickly extinguished by the magicians who felt it, except for the loss of some property, it did not cause much human injury, and even the previous slave riot was not as good as the pigs, but it was better than any previous large-scale slave riot.
First of all, there are too many shocking phenomena in this riot, whether it is the explosion that almost covers half of the city's sky, or the aurora from the sky, it has brought too much shock to the people in the city, whether it is the wealthy class in the upper district or the poor in the lower district, and secondly, there are too many displays of extraordinary power to make those living in the free city The wealthy class, who had been in the peace' environment for too long, found one thing in the terrible vision of the night, and that was whether the power of money and power in their own hands in the face of incomprehensible savage forces could really be countered.
Free City is a commercial city, the reason why this city can become the economic and commercial hub of the eastern part of the continent is to give merchants great freedom and security, in this city where money is supreme, the benchmark for measuring a person is the amount of his wealth, the rich and wealthy class and merchants will always enjoy heavenly treatment, in this city without scruples about morality and ideas, everyone can indulge to the extreme without worrying about being blamed by others, in addition to being a self-made city, merchants here have great privileges, and there will never be any laws and regulations that violate the interests of merchantsThe only thing that businessmen think about is how to get the most out of it!
At the same time, the free city also has a very strong power, in the city after the establishment of the development of the mainland commercial hub from the moment, hundreds of years do not know how many countries and forces want to annex the city and the merchants spend a lot of money under the offensive of the head to break the blood, the merchants manipulate money and wealth, the monopolist of the transportation and supply of materials, as long as they unite to cut off the trade with any country, then whether it is a country with strong power will also be weakened because of the cessation of blood supply, in the end even the Holy See in the mainland does not know how to cover the sky with one hand seems to have given up hereAnd this is the reason why the merchants are willing to gather in this city, absolute freedom and absolute security, no one or thing can interfere here!
While indulging in desire, it also subtly maintains relative stability and security, and the geographical location is relatively good, which is one of the main reasons why the free city has been able to dominate the commercial center of the east!
Of course, there are occasional slave riots on weekdays, but under the strict defense system of the free city, the most the rioting slaves can do is to cause some damage in the lower districts, even a few riots planned by the spies and intelligence officers of the Holy Capital were suppressed before the slaves escaped from the city, and the biggest loss was the riot led by the orc Longa, the rioting slaves successfully killed the upper area under the devastating power of the orcs, and once entered the mansion of Sir Philibers Cantel, but in the end they were defeated by Gelket, who happened to be a guest at the Philips mansion at that time。
In the eyes of most civilians in the Free City, the slave rebellion was still just a battle between ordinary people, no matter how big the scale was fought or how big the destruction was, it was still within the scope of 'ordinary', but the scenes that happened this night were not ordinary even for a fool!
This world has never been a peaceful paradise, and there are too many existences that are unimaginable to the current world, but since the fall of the gods of the second generation, the power of the transcendent in the new era has been greatly reduced compared to the past, especially the dragon war ten thousand years ago, which completely buried countless real people and things into myths and legends. At the end of the overlord era 2,000 years ago, the two major religious organizations that re-emerged began to mediate the war, so that the war, famine and disaster on the mainland as a whole have been reduced a lot, and most importantly, because of the need for faith by the gods, many transcendents who were once unwilling to be restrained have become the targets of the two major religious organizations.
Even the transcendents did not have the courage to challenge the majesty of the gods, and under the suppression of the gods, the transcendents did not appear in the eyes of mortals as often as before, let alone use their own strength to seize a territory and establish themselves as kings as they did in the most chaotic times.
The rules of the world have been cleverly modified by the Creator into a symbiotic system, and the transcendent beings with power are checked and restrained by each other, which has prevented the world from completely becoming a barbaric civilization that relies on power to decide everything!
It is also for this reason that when the transcendent is revealed to the world by the hidden power, its influence is far beyond the ability of the mortal world, at least the merchants of this city also found that this place is not absolutely safe, just like the explosion and fire in the sky that almost covered half of the city this night, even under the protection of the protective circle and the lock, it brought a huge shock to the ground, if the next explosion happened directly inside the city, how many people should be killed and injured?
If this is the first time, will there be a next time, another time!?
The prosperity of a city is also linked to security, there is no merchant who wants to go there to do business in a place where it keeps exploding and people are dying every day, and the same is true for the free city, if it cannot provide a safe environment for the merchants, if it cannot be proved that the free city is still an extraordinary existence, then the prosperous city established for trade will also quickly wither because of the betrayal of the merchants.
For the big businessmen in the upper echelons of the city, this is absolutely not allowed!
Since the sun has just risen, countless notices and news have spread all over the streets, generally to explain the cause of the various visions last night, and it is fortunate that the big businessmen in the upper districts have recently had a suitable scapegoat, and unfortunately several more arrested cultists have become the backstabbers.
Although it is true that a large part of the riots caused by this night were caused by the Demon Domination
This time, not only did the city security team post notices and speeches everywhere, but even the law office under the command of Yunogia also appeared to say that the night commotion was caused by the cultists recalling demons in the city, and the opening and explosion of the mystery, including the aurora that fell from the sky, were all high-level magic used to destroy demons, in addition to the law office also displayed several weapons seized from the demons, and these weapons that were completely different from those made by mortals became the most favorable proof, causing an uproar among many people, not only that, but also attracted the attention of many blacksmiths and blacksmithsAfter the purity of the obsidian used on the weapons reached more than 80%, some people on the spot asked if they could buy these weapons, and they were looking forward to reversing the forging method.
Because now the forging and use of obsidian by humans can only reach about 30%-40% purity, and the demon's weapons are twice as high!
The mages politely declined these requests for the time being, and the demons used a special way to bless the magic when crafting weapons, and the structure of these weapons, the meaning of the patterns on them, and the remaining fluctuations in the power of the abyss are all valuable to study, at least until these weapons are thoroughly studied, and the mages do not plan to sell the weapons until they are thoroughly studied!
Sometimes I have to say that although demons and cultists are indeed disgusting and fearful, at some times they are indeed a good target to carry the black cauldron, once something goes wrong, as long as you push it on the cultists and demons, everything is basically OK!
The cultists summoned demons to invade the Free City, and were repelled by the heroic city security team and the mages, although they caused some losses but the casualties were only in double digits, which fully proved the power of the Free City, even the legendary demons could not break through the city, and for a time this matter became the hottest topic in the Free City at the moment, and many merchants and nobles have been talking about it non-stop.
Of course, there were those who questioned the authenticity, but the result was either crushed by a powerful public opinion campaign, or because they investigated the matter too deeply, they were thrown into the prison of the security forces to be in the company of rats and bed bugs, such as spreading rumors and trespassing.
On the surface, it seems that a boiling turmoil has gradually been covered, but the upper echelons of the Free City, especially Lawrence and Philip of the same triumvirate, are not so easy to fool, even if Yunokia's jurisprudence showed the two of them the weapons seized from the demon, showing the remains of the demon after being crushed by the law of the interface, like a gray mirror, but the two who knew some of the inside story did not fully believe it, and immediately convened a council to ask Yunozia to explain the situation in person, but Yunozia still sent a direct henchman to deal with this meeting, and insisted that she did not know directly。
"Miss Yunogia, this is an invitation from Lord Lawrence asking you to attend tomorrow's interrogatory. A young and beautiful maid walked in with a golden invitation in her hands.
"Throw it away, and let me out, no one will come in without my orders!"
The maid nodded nervously, and then hurried out of the room.
On the bed, Yunokia was sitting quietly behind the gauze curtain with her white jade feet in her arms, her body trembling with anger had not subsided since that night, and it was clear that the lost power was in front of her eyes, and even several times it had reached the point of being within reach, but in the end, she actually let the demon master escape with the boy.
Damn ~ Damn ~ Hateful ! Kill ~ Kill ~ Kill!
She couldn't help but cover her forehead, and the memories in Yunojia's mind were churning, and in addition to missing out on the gem, there was another thing that made her directly disgusted, and that was the Fallen Lord, Belicemi, reminded her of the one thing she didn't want to think about.
"I didn't┉┉I didn't betray you, master┉┉I didn't┉┉"
Buried her head, Yunozia did not have the majesty of a law merchant on weekdays, nor the ruthlessness of a demon, and muttered with a whimper like an ordinary girl who was aggrieved and helpless. (To be continued.) )
