Chapter 157: Communication
"Wow...... There are so many people, is this the concert in the central square? Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Standing outside the central square of Central, Locke supported Benjamin's shoulder next to him and looked around, the time was still almost an hour before the start of the performance, and the Watson and the others, except for the demon hunting necklace, all the things on their bodies that could indicate their identity were taken off, and the trench coat used to cover the weapon had also become an ordinary style.
Benjamin's Snake still didn't bring it out, because Warcraft was forbidden to enter the concert...... The target of such a giant python is too big, and the preparations they made to cover up their identities are meaningless.
mentioned before that the performance will last for three days, and although Scarlett, the target of the Demon Alliance, will hold a concert on the second day, as the leading singer of the song and dance troupe, she should also appear in today's performance.
This means that she will also be backstage in the song and dance troupe today, and Watson and the others have thought about it carefully, thinking that the time for the demon contractors to do it is either today or the day after tomorrow.
If it is on the day of Scarlett's concert, most of the security personnel's attention will definitely be focused on the protagonist of this concert, and there will naturally be elite police officers from the Irion Inquisition among these people, after all, Scarlett can be regarded as a small celebrity in Iryan, or to promote the existence of the government, she will naturally be protected by the Flender family.
And the strength of the elite police officers in the Irion Inquisition is naturally not at the same level as Verdas, once the number of people breaks through a certain upper limit, it is definitely not that simple for those demon contractors to kidnap Scarlett under their noses, so the most likely time is today and the day after tomorrow, and only in the case of such a large number of performers coming in and out, it is possible for them to find a loophole.
"Hey, you've already arrived, my house is a little far from here, so it took a little more time to travel, and I wasn't late, right?"
A taxi stopped in front of Watson and the others, and Leona, wearing a simple ponytail and dressed in civilian clothes, appeared in front of her, looked left and right, and found that she came empty-handed and seemed to have no weapons with her......
Bellamy also asked what to do if there was no weapon to fight, and Leona said that her weapon was a large hammer with the iconic Holy See cross on it, the kind of weapon that would emit holy light when she walked...... If she carried it on her back, it would be a humanoid light bulb wherever she went, so she simply left the hammer at home.
In this way, a few people have nothing to say, but although the Paladin class has no weapons, the magic skills they possess are still quite effective for the team, and Watson didn't include Leona in his original plan, and now that people are willing to help, he doesn't have so many requirements.
The spectators entered the arena one after another, and Watson and the others were looking for an opportunity to sneak in, only to find that they seemed to have set up guards on all four passages into the central square, including not only ticket checkers, but also Inquisition police officers who searched for weapons.
Now they can't find a way to sneak in through the main entrance, and if they find out, it will be a big loss, but fortunately, as the central square of the Central City open to all the residents of Irion, it is naturally impossible to set up a fence.
In place of these is a circular river around the entire central square, these four channels are also built above the river, the width of the river is about 3 meters, the distance between the bank and the river surface is also more than 1 meter, both sides are paved with smooth masonry, basically it is difficult to find a stress point to climb up.
Of course, it is a difficult ravine for ordinary people to overcome, but for Watson and the others, it is actually just like that, they only need to find a place with fewer people, and it is impossible to stand in a row of guards around such a large central square to watch.
After waiting outside for half an hour until the other spectators who had bought tickets had entered, and the flow of people became much smaller, several people found a relatively hidden place and prepared to jump over the river into the small forest planted in the central square on the other side of the river.
"Shh......h There's someone out there, you guys jump over there and be light!!"
This kind of sneaking in made several people feel a little excited, and the first to jump over was Bellamy, his speed was fast enough, and his perception as a gunsmith was strong enough, it was best to take the lead, and after crossing the river, he went straight into the woods, and after a while, he came out of it and shouted in a low voice.
"Marina, your second visit, didn't you show me that kind of hidden aura barrier in the wasteland before, since Bellamy said that there are people behind the grove, then you can open the barrier after you pass, and we people will have less chance of being discovered. ”
A pair of ice-blue mage hands appeared on the river out of thin air, Marina took a few steps forward and stood up directly, and the hands under her feet automatically lifted her to the opposite side, reaching the level of a mage of the magister, although it was not yet to the extent of floating, but there was no problem in using the mage's hand to lift herself up a distance.
The transparent barrier unfurled, shielding out the scouts behind the grove, and the rest of the group quickly jumped up and down the river, reaching Marina and Bellamy without stress.
"I just saw someone talking behind the grove, and they don't look like they are inquisition officers, but we have to be careful when we go out later, and if we do find out, we need to knock them out quickly. ”
A few people bent down through the grove, getting closer to the outer road that surrounded the central square, and now the vast majority of the audience would be gathered in the central square to wait for the show to begin, and it stands to reason that no one would come at such a time, but now that the people are already there, they can only find a way to avoid them.
"Wait, look at that woman, is it Scarlett, the target of the Demon Alliance?"
There were two men and a woman talking on the road, the distance was too far, Watson couldn't hear anything, just glanced at it hurriedly and continued to walk to the side, Leona paid attention for a while, and suddenly whispered, as soon as he heard this, everyone immediately turned their eyes to it, Benjamin also took out the flyer in his arms that had not been thrown away for comparison, and finally found that it was indeed the same as the flyer, and the woman was also wearing a very bright costume, looking like she was about to perform.
"Shall we go out and say hello to her now?" Actually, I think instead of sneaking into the audience, it is better to follow Scarlett directly to the backstage, there is a greater possibility of blocking those demon contractors over there, and then it will save us the trouble of sneaking from the venue to the backstage, how about it, think about it?"
Locke, who was in the middle of the team, squatted down and put forward his ideas to a few people, what he said made some sense, the place where those demon contractors did it was definitely impossible to be on the stage under the attention of tens of thousands of people, after all, if they did it in this kind of place, it would be equivalent to slapping the Flender family in the face, forcing them to even deal with it in a low-key manner.
Although the power of the Demon Alliance is not weak, if you want to start a full-scale war between Erion and the Flender family, you still have to think too much, they are the old nobles who have controlled this place for nearly a hundred years, and now they have faced the Demon Hunting Guild, no matter how strong a group of demon believers are, they also have to weigh up if they want to contend with the top two forces of Erien.
"But what if the other side doesn't want to help? If they treat us as spectators who sneak in, and report it to the people in the court, it's going to be a problem. ”
There was no one here who knew Scarlett, and I didn't know what her personality was, and if she was a suspicious woman, extremely wary and hostile to strangers, going out so boldly would lead things in an unpredictable direction.
"Leave it to me, I'm a fan of Scarlett, let me communicate with her, don't come out yet, if I fail to communicate, you will go on according to the original plan, I am a priest, the holy light and the silver cross around my neck can prove my identity, those inquisition police will not do anything to me. ”
Watson nodded, agreeing to Leona's proposal, the status of the priesthood is respected in many places, and Erion is no exception, they have a more glorious image than demon hunters in the minds of ordinary people, no one will believe that a priest will do anything to steal chickens and dogs, so compared to a few people on Watson's side to communicate, Leona is more likely to succeed.
Also, as she said, even if she fails, there will be no bad results, the big deal is to show herself and then enter the show as an audience member, and it is not impossible to meet Watson and them when the time comes.
So a few people squatted in the grove and watched Leona go around in a big circle, and then walked out of the road where a few people couldn't see it, and walked up as if they were passing by, first talking to Scarlett's hand, and then waving their fists at the two men next to her, a faint holy light came out of her, and then the two men left in a panic.
Then Leona waved her hand to Watson where they were, and made a V-shaped gesture to indicate that the communication was successful, and several people naturally walked out of the woods, Scarlett was a little surprised to see so many people hidden in the grove, and her expression was a little nervous that could not be concealed, but after introducing each other, she relaxed a lot.
"You ...... You really don't know me, I'm a pretty famous ...... in Arian."
After the introduction, Scarlett found that these people actually looked like they were seeing her for the first time, and she was inevitably a little frustrated, and said with a sneer.
"Hmm...... We've only been here for a while, and the other day we were either on a mission or recuperating from our injuries, and we didn't have a chance to come out to see your show, so I think we'll have a chance today. ”
The same woman, Viola, who has been in the bottom crowd all the year round, sensed Scarlett's somewhat depressed mood very keenly, stepped forward and grabbed her arm and said. (To be continued.) )
