Chapter 99: Morning Light (Part II)
For an experienced fighter, the word "silence" is often equated with danger. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
With the powerful physical fitness of the legendary powerhouse, as long as he wanted, he could hear the sound of customers haggling with the store even a few streets away.
But now, even if Olivia concentrated all his attention, he could not hear anything other than his own breathing, as if there was no second living person in the entire imperial capital except for him.
Could the imperial capital become an empty city in the blink of an eye?
Of course not!
Feeling the loneliness that welled up from the bottom of her heart, as if she had been stripped from the world, Olivia felt that she must be trapped in some kind of enchantment.
As soon as he noticed something was wrong, he leaned his back against the wall, a habit he had developed from the battlefield - never exposing his back to the enemy.
Despite being a silver life under the baptism of the law, Olivia's more than thirty years of military career has made her more like a soldier than a powerful sword master when she fights.
He himself understands this, but he has never thought of changing, there is nothing wrong with being rude and ordinary, at least it can make him feel more secure.
Even if it is an enchantment that contains the rules of space, if it wants to be realized on the main plane, it must be based on some real material nodes. Judging by Olivia's keen perception, the buildings on both sides should be real.
He subconsciously reached out and grabbed the hilt of his saber, but it caught in the air.
"Damn it!"
The knight reacted immediately, because he was supposed to accompany George XIII to the central square, he was wearing a court dress, and there was no sword hanging from his waist.
The eagle's sharp gaze scanned around, vigilant for the enemy who might come out of a corner at any time, the cyan fighting spirit was as bright as a flame, and the knight silently gathered strength, secretly waiting for the opportunity to launch a thunderous strike.
"Huh?"
An indescribable instinct led Olivia to discover the obscurity of the qi around him, and with a single move, a fist-sized cyan ball appeared in his palm.
A large amount of fighting energy poured into the cyan ball along his palm, but it did not cause any change in the volume of this small ball.
"Bang-"
With a slight exertion of the slender fingers, the small cyan balls shattered into specks of light like colorful foam flying in the sun.
But this is not the end, but the beginning of another change.
The street, which had been quiet and seemed to have condensed even the air, suddenly started to wind, and at first the wind was small, but soon it turned into a howling.
The wind grew stronger and stronger, almost to the point where colorless fluctuations could be seen passing through the air with the naked eye.
However, the buildings on both sides of the road were not affected by the high winds, as if for them, a howling hurricane did not exist at all.
The wind is naturally there, but it is clear that with Olivia's strength, it is not enough to destroy the material nodes that make up this barrier.
In other words, he simply doesn't have the means to break this barrier from within.
"Is the other party's purpose me, or ......?"
The knight's face became more and more ugly, not only because it took a lot of energy to manipulate the hurricane, but also because the barrier was stronger than he had imagined.
With his knowledge, he could naturally judge the grade of this enchantment, and of course he knew what it meant by its appearance here.
As far as he knew, the entire emperor was able to come up with such a grade of enchantment, and it could still be quietly arranged on the bustling commercial street, and there were only a few forces.
Of these, there are only two that have reason to do so: the Temple of Dawn, or the Temple of Knowledge.
Whichever one is involved, it's not good news for the royal family.
If it is the former, it means that the small actions they have secretly made have been known by the other party, and they will soon usher in the other party's stormy revenge, and if it is the latter, it means that the Temple of Knowledge does not put the royal family in the position of collaborators, and they are just cannon fodder used to weaken the enemy's strength in the eyes of the other party.
Actually, Olivia prefers the former. At the very least, it would be possible for the royal family to receive assistance from the Temple of Knowledge, and only then would it be possible to receive the reward it had promised earlier. Although until now he did not know what exactly George XIII had agreed with the Temple of Knowledge.
Now the knight is most worried not about the identity of the enemy, and it can't be worse anyway, what he is really worried about is the enemy's purpose.
If the other party's goal is just to kill him, it is not too bad, as a soldier, he is ready to face death from the day he puts on the armor. To the knight's horror, the other party just wanted to hold him back, and the real target was George XIII, who was still giving a speech in the central square.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the air was starting to thicken.
The buildings on the street, which had been unaffected in the slightest, began to shake under the strong wind, gradually fading their original colors, just like a delicate oil painting that has lost its own connotation under the ravages of time.
Sharp winds blew across the surface of the buildings over and over again, causing them to oxidize and become old at dozens of times the rate, and finally turn into a pile of rubble......
Olivia was ready to fight hard, the other party had a lot of time to spend here, but he couldn't afford to worry about the safety of George XIII.
The knight squeezed himself hard, forcibly combining his consciousness with the laws of the wind system, completely ignoring the serious consequences that might cause his own god to be destroyed.
Olivia's eyes and nose began to bleed, his consciousness was already a little blurred, and the severe headache made him suspect that his brain would probably shatter his skull in the next second, ending his life-worse pain.
In fact, even he himself understood that the material nodes that formed the enchantment could not be destroyed by himself, and the collapse of the surrounding buildings must have been after his own death.
So what does it matter?
He didn't care about life or death, he just wanted to ensure the safety of the king.
Olivia knew that this kind of enchantment, which would make even the legendary powerhouses helpless, was an absolutely rare resource for the rich temple, and all he had to do now was to draw all the attention of the enemy to himself, so as to ensure the safety of the central square.
In any case, the royal family is also the nominal master of the empire, and even the temple cannot blatantly assassinate the monarch, at most it is to send a few "unidentified" people to do this.
Therefore, there will definitely not be too many people who can participate in this operation, as long as there is a situation in the center, it will definitely be able to reduce the pressure on the central square.
As for whether the barrier can be broken, Olivia has no doubt about it.
His body really can't support the stronger law guidance, but even if he dies, the law of the wind system that has become violent will not stop here, whether the other party wants to keep this barrier or not, he can only do his best to calm this increasingly strong hurricane, otherwise, after it breaks through the boundary, a radius of 100 miles will be raged into a white land.
Olivia does not have the slightest guilt in his heart for involving innocent civilians, he is a knight of the royal family, and maintaining the safety of the royal family is a mission deep in the bone marrow.
He had to do this, because only then would the enemy not be able to move forward with the assassination of George XIII for a short time.
As for the future, it has nothing to do with him. After all, he had already fallen here and returned to the underworld.
"Your Majesty, there's only so much I can do for you......"
Olivia muttered, only one thought left in her mind: "Make the storm raging in the barrier even more violent!"
