Chapter 264: Undercurrents are surging

The convoy moved on, and the bodies were temporarily thrown aside. The observation group is all people with status, and they will not do chores such as collecting corpses, so let the kobolds in the city handle it later. But after all, this is a war-torn zone, and most kobolds will find an excuse to fool around, and the corpses are likely to be exposed to the sun and rain here, and eventually become a part of nature.

The road was not far, and by evening the people had returned to the main city. After getting off the bus, everyone didn't say anything, and went back to their respective rooms to discuss. The few who bought the auction items were eager to pick them up and play with them at this time.

Tonight's night is not destined to be peaceful, and although Kevin has made up his mind not to make a move, he must be updated on the situation. For this reason, he simply stayed in Jack's room and let the parrot keep an eye on the development of the situation.

In fact, according to common sense, it is more appropriate for Jack to enter Kevin's room, after all, Kevin is a chief. However, due to Jack's serious obsessive-compulsive disorder, the asymmetry of the room layout may affect his performance, so Kevin is also casual.

Inside, Kevin and Jack used clay and sand to build a scaled-down map of the neighborhood and demarcate it according to the location of the hill and map habits. The parrot allowed him to wander around the corpse during the day, and he didn't need to stare hard at certain places, as long as he could watch the whole process when the fight started.

There is no way, there is only one parrot, and the whole city is so big, it is impossible to target it all, so you can only choose a place where conflict is most likely to break out and squat.

The people of the Church of Light got the cub of the Black Flame Emperor Tiger, although the adult demonic beast is strong, but at this time the cub is still in the stage of feeding, about the same age as a cat, don't think that it has any combat power in two or three years, and it can't be put into the space ring, which is undoubtedly very cumbersome for the Church of Light, and it will attract strong enemies from all walks of life.

In that case, it is undoubtedly the best way to move as soon as possible. To transfer, only the airport is the most suitable, and the others have to travel through the barren land for several months, and at the same time it is impossible to do it at the airport, which even the government army and the rebel army dare not touch, so basically only on the way to the airport.

"I'm curious, why didn't the Church of Light just take the airship at that time?" asked Jack as he chatted casually.

"Actually, I have that question," Kevin replied, "and it depends on their movements to keep guessing." ”

As he spoke, the parrot had already delivered the news: "The large crowd of the Church of Light has gone out. And he carried a cage covered with a black cloth in his hand, and there were several. Probably confused, right?"

Kevin and Jack looked at each other, then pushed open the window and looked out, from which there was nothing to see, and it was certain that the bright powerhouses who lived in the hotel did not move. The one who went out was only the other half of the bright powerhouses who lived in the church, and of course half of the strong people were already strong enough, I am afraid that unless the Imperial Dragon Knight made a move, no one would be an opponent.

But only for a moment, the parrot then came with a message: "The Imperials have blocked the way of the Church of Light. ”

The two of them were shocked, could they do it so directly?

"It's not a matter of doing it," the parrot quickly came with the news, "the Imperial people interrogated the auction host overnight, hoping that the Church of Light would sit in on it and be impartial." ”

Kevin nodded: "It seems that the Imperial people are still unwilling and want to find an excuse to drag people down, at least a few main characters." ”

"Yes, the two sides are arguing over how many people will be left to observe. The parrot replied to the message, and it was thanks to the parrot himself that he could understand it, and if it was another demon, at this time he would come to the conclusion that the two sides were in a conversation.

In the corridor of the hotel, the sound of doors opening and closing and footsteps was heard immediately, and it gradually faded away. I am afraid that some people also used the demon to observe a similar situation, but they could not know the specific situation, so they could only go and observe it in person.

Keep staring. Kevin ordered, "If the Bright Strong Man leaves some people behind, you don't have to worry about these people, you mainly follow the group of people who went to the airport." ”

"Yes. The parrot replied.

After more than half an hour, the reason for the fight over there finally came to fruition, and the people of the Church of Light left most of the people, and only five people were separated to continue to the airport, each carrying a cage covered with a black cloth in his hand.

"I couldn't tell which cage was real, I didn't dare get too close. The parrot replied.

Jack suggested: "You can watch the cage shake carefully, pets are usually panicked when they are transported in a black cage late at night, and the shaking will be more intense. ”

However, after the parrot was half-sounding, it replied, "I'm sorry, not a single one of them moved." ”

"Is it all empty?" asked Jack.

Kevin nodded: "It's hard to say, there are also hypnots and the like that can make the little tiger fall asleep." ”

Over there, the five bright powerhouses got into the carriage with the black cage and walked all the way to the airport along the dark path, with the parrot quietly following behind. There is no moon tonight, and even parrots can't see clearly in some jungles in the wild, and they don't dare to fly close to scout casually, always feeling that there is a killing machine inside.

However, the journey was uneventful, and the five members of the Church of Light arrived at the airport intact, and waited leisurely for the airship there.

"There was no ambush on the way?" Kevin was a little surprised, "I guessed wrong?"

Jack didn't speak on the side.

"Or does the other party already know that the black cages here are all fake?" Kevin speculated, "How did they know? It's the Imperials! The Imperials had already sensed the elemental fluctuations inside up close when they had just been arguing with them?"

Jack thought for a moment and nodded, "It's possible." ”

Both sides knew that they could only transfer like this, and the Church of Light was afraid of an accident, so they sent half of them to escort them out. On the pretext of watching the trial, the Imperial people left behind more than half of the Church of Light after a series of ruffles. But in fact, the Church of Light went out this time just an illusion, deliberately carrying an empty cage to fool those who were in ambush. And at the same time, in the process of ripping the skin, the Imperial people also found that it was empty, and notified the ambush people not to do it?

Kevin cleared his thoughts, feeling that the routine was very deep. But this is their routine anyway, and Kevin should be a bystander.

About an hour later, a special airship landed at the airport. This is not an ordinary passenger airship, it is obviously specially sent by the Church of Light.

Kevin felt slightly that something was not right: "Since you are pretending to go to the airport with an empty cage, do you really want to pretend to send the airship back?"

Jack was at a loss and could only reply, "Maybe they did something else by the way, right?"

As he spoke, the parrot came with the news that the five men had boarded the airship with the cage, but they came down quickly, and they were still carrying the cage down, covered with black cloth. Now rush back to the middle. The airship didn't do anything else and left.

Kevin looked at the road on the sand table and frowned in thought. Jack didn't dare to disturb at will, so he sat upright on one side, and sat in a very symmetrical position.

The parrot sent news that five members of the Church of Light had arrived safely in the city and entered the church. Everything is still safe, as if all of Kevin's speculations are unfounded, which makes Kevin very confused.

"Keep staring at that road, and don't go until dawn. Kevin ordered the parrot.

"Yes!" the parrot naturally executed.

I don't know how many people are staring in the dark this night, the first time is fake, then there must be a second time, or even a third time. If it drags on until tomorrow, maybe the empire will have some excuse to pull the strings, and tonight should be the best time.

But this wait is more than two hours, and the mood of waiting is always very anxious, especially when you are not sure and can only guess. Thankfully, around two o'clock in the morning, the Church of Light went out again.

There were still five people, carrying a black cage, and they walked to the gate of the city, and they didn't even sit in the carriage, so they walked on foot.

"Will it be real this time?" asked Jack subconsciously.

"The Imperials didn't come to stop it, and it shouldn't be clear from a distance whether the cage is real or fake," Kevin speculated, "Then anyway, the ambush man will definitely do it." I hope I don't guess wrong this time. ”

While thinking, he simulated a paper villain acting on a sand table, constantly adjusting according to the constant messages from the parrot. The route was exactly the same as last time, and although it was on foot, it was completely on horse-drawn carriage course.

"Why don't they take a different route?" asked Jack, "the carriage is indeed the best way to go, but since it is on foot, shouldn't you avoid the foreseeable dangers?"

Kevin was silent, and there were many things he couldn't understand.

Suddenly, the parrot sent a message: "There is a fight!"

"A dozen people jumped out of the woods, wearing a strange kind of helmet, and they immediately shot arrows at the cage. The people of the Church of Light protect the cage and fight. "Parrots give real-time feedback.

Kevin and Jack didn't ask much at this time, brushing down the main points with a pen.

"The ambush used large rope nets and chains, and there were no mages, but the crossbow arrows in their hands were very sharp. It's a large-scale flash technique! I can't see it. The parrot's voice was a little alarmed.

Kevin and Jack hurriedly pushed open the window, and there was a flash of light in the distance. This spell can be used as a light in the dark and a distress signal, and those who are in ambush cannot fight for a long time, whether they are hit or not, because reinforcements will arrive soon.

There was a commotion on the ground floor of the hotel, and they all apparently got up to help, but soon, a green light came out from there, and it was calm down again. Does green light mean that the distress call is lifted?

The parrot replied at this time: "The battle is over, unfortunately I was blinded just now, and I didn't see the specific process." Fifteen corpses on the ground, the same number as the number that rushed out, at least the people who jumped out were dead. Two men from the Church of Light were shot in the arm because they had protected the cage with their hands. When they were done, they moved on. ”

"Actually hurt?" Kevin was a little surprised, "what about the dead people?"

"The dead are in a terrible state," replied the parrot, "there are those who have broken hands and legs, and there are also big holes in their chests, and some even have their hands and stomachs together, which is very strange." ”

Although the treatment has the ability to heal wounds, if the treatment is too fierce and the treatment is uneven, it is easy to produce polyps, grow pimples, and even when the hand covers the wound, a treatment goes down, and the hand and the wound grow together. If you want to heal, you have to use a knife to cut it open.

This technique is not a high-end spell, but it is a high-end use of low-end spells, and those who can use it in battle should be no less powerful than those who use their mental power to kill people directly.

But the question is, it is undoubtedly faster and more convenient to kill people directly with mental power, why don't they use it, and this time they are injured?

Kevin took out the battle feedback he had just recorded, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "You said they were wearing strange helmets?

"A translucent helmet, but it seems to be melting now, probably just a form of ice. The raven replied.

"Ice Helmet?" Kevin nodded, "That's right." ”

The human spirit is connected outward through the five senses, and the most direct and effective spiritual attack of all is also through the five senses. When fighting, sight and hearing are the most important, followed by others. Wearing an ice helmet, in addition to its own cold, it is also blurred by ice, and the sense of hearing is basically blocked, and the difficulty of direct mental attack is greatly increased.

It's like that one stare in the afternoon and scared people to death? I can't see where your eyes are, how can I be afraid? Obviously, this ambush is targeted and progressive.

Of course, the ice helmet is not without shortcomings, and it can even be said that there are a bunch of shortcomings, such as short timeliness, injury to the body, blurred vision, poor defense, and so on. But on special occasions, it does work wonders.

"I'm almost certain that there were people in the grass in this ambush," Kevin replied, "and at least one more mage who made ice helmets, which was basically just ready-made." Unless they each have a space ring, it is impossible for such money to run out and die. ”

The parrot continued to track: "The five people have arrived at the airport and are waiting for the airship...... The airship came, and they went up and down as before, still carrying five black cages. ”

Kevin couldn't help but snort: "What are you doing here? Why are you doing a full set of acts? Why are you coming back with a black cage when you're already exposed?"

Jack didn't understand either, so he could only reply, "Maybe they have something else, right?"

Kevin stood up, looked out the window, looked at the room, and looked at Jack. No matter how obsessive-compulsive he is, there are still many asymmetries in this house, after all, Jack can't cut down the furniture and redo it.

"How's my house?" said Jack.

"It's ok. Kevin was perfunctory.

Jack was excited: "Maybe you don't think it's very symmetrical, but it's mainly about the house." You imagine using a teleportation array to teleport furniture to an open area, and you instantly feel ......"

"Teleportation Array!" Kevin suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "You said Teleportation Array!"

Jack's mouth opened wide: "Huh?"

"That makes sense," Kevin suddenly realized, and then glanced at Jack, "Let's go, let's go to the ambassador! Don't spy on your parrot, go ahead of us and wake up the ambassador!"

"Yes!" Jack didn't ask why, and hurriedly packed up and prepared to go.

Kevin combed through the speculation again in his mind, and it was getting clearer and clearer. At the beginning, the people of the Church of Light didn't want to leave the airport at all, but they probably planned to build a temporary teleportation array, which is no wonder why they didn't leave immediately after the auction ended.

There is no technical problem in setting up a temporary teleportation array. The site can be set up under the church, and it is believed that in a place where there is a perennial war, as one of the strongholds of the Church of Light, there will inevitably be a secret passage or a secret room.

Once the teleportation array is activated, most of the experts in the vicinity can feel it, but even if they feel it, they have already teleported away. There's also a problem with just building a teleportation array, and that's the material.

In addition to being very expensive, the material cannot fit into any space storage equipment, which is the characteristic of space materials. This is why it was not built in the past, not only is it expensive and the maintenance cost is very high, but all the materials are transported by air, and the maintenance materials have to be transported by air.

However, if you build a small temporary teleportation array, it is relatively simple. Although the lifespan is very short, it may only be used once or twice, and it may be difficult to teleport a person, but it is enough to teleport a "cat". The amount of material required has also been significantly reduced and is within the scope of feasibility.

I'm afraid that those black cages are never carrying little tigers, but actually going to the airship to get materials. Wearing a black cloth makes people mistakenly think that they are confusing the opponent, and they go two more times to keep confusing, and also make the opponent think that they are confusing us.

In fact, they took the materials from the airship again and again, took them back to the church and set up a teleportation array. While everyone was still racking their brains to guess which time they were carrying a real cage and which time was a fake cage, the tiger had already been teleported away.

The Church of Light's routine is really deeper, and the Imperial people are still hiring others to test their strength and weakness again and again, and I don't know if they can react. But if you can't react, this secret battle between the empire and the Church of Light will end early, and I believe that the two sides will not continue to fight on the premise that the tiger is sent away, maybe there will be unpleasantness, but after all, it is their own family.

But this is not in Kevin's interests, how can the show leave early? If the teleportation array is disrupted or even destroyed, then the Church of Light can only return to the road of the airport, and then honestly pinch each other with the Imperials.

It is not easy to destroy a teleportation array between the main cities of the Lou Baole Kingdom. However, there are many ways to interfere with the temporary teleportation array. It's just that Kevin is not familiar with it, and he hasn't learned about space magic spells yet, but I believe that the resident ambassador here should be involved.

At 3 a.m., the ambassador, who was still asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, then slammed the bed board, then sat up and turned his head to look at the fireplace. There was a flutter of wings, and parrots flew in through the fireplace.

"What are you going to do?" the ambassador said in a bad tone, and no one was still happy to be woken up in the middle of the night.

"Ah, Ambassador, you're awake?" the parrot embarrassed, "that's great, I'm here to wake you up." ”

"And then?"

"Chief Kevin is coming to discuss matters with you soon, and it is very urgent. The parrot paused for a moment, "He will talk about specific matters in person, this time he may have to go out, I hope you can get dressed first and so on." ”

With a straight face, the ambassador casually took off a robe and put it on, and sat down at the table to wait.

The parrot jumped up in front of him and said awkwardly: "The chief said that he has 5 minutes to arrive, you can ...... Sleep for another 5 minutes first. ”

Ambassador: "......"
