Chapter 1 Requests from Museums
Winter of 981 in the free calendar
On a cold winter night, a long rainbow streaked across the dark sky, accompanied by a roar, and an extraterrestrial meteorite fell here in the north of the city of Prontera, on the edge of the so-called North Forest. Soon, an army of 100 people riding toucans arrived.
"Captain, it's the Meteorite Fall. "A soldier riding a toucan with a stone wrapped in linen cloth in his arms the size of a watermelon. Said with a look of fascination.
Through the gap in the linen cloth, you can see that this is a blue extraterrestrial meteorite, this meteorite looks very transparent, but it looks deep and bottomless, as if it contains a world. Even the captain of this team of toucan knights, after seeing this strange stone, was stunned by it for a while, and then came to a trance.
"Is there anything unusual about the North Forest with such a big movement?"
"Anything unusual in the North Forest!Answer me!" the captain of the soldiers shouted, his voice loud, and the grass and trees around him trembled.
Under the captain's shout, the soldier slammed into a shock, the intoxication in his eyes subsided, and he immediately gave a military salute and said, "Report to the captain, Kitanomori is very calm, and there is nothing unusual. ”
Hearing that there was nothing unusual in the North Forest, the captain's expression relaxed a little, and after looking at this strange stone a few times again, he shouted loudly: "Everyone go back, go back to Prontera!
......
Prontera City Garrison
In what should have been a quiet conference room, there was a roar that shook the glass and buzzed.
"Bastard! It's this guy again! It's a blatant provocation! It's a blatant provocation!" said Joe Lean, the sheriff's chief officer, snarling at the thirty or so pale-faced, fidgeting officers in the room, under his hands, pressing a letter with only a few words on it.
"I'm interested in the falling star, and I'll come and pick it up after tonight's exhibition. Oh, and as a friendly reminder, dear Mr. Curator, you don't have to go to the Security Department for help, because that waste will only make you waste your legs. Stars who love cultural relics"
The letter had been sent by the director of the most famous museum in the city of Prontera, and when Chief Ryan received it, his hair, which he had arranged every day, was counted down in anger. And he directly stopped the museum director who wanted to ask for help from the Imperial City Army, and used his immediate family members who added up to dozens of generations to ensure that this matter was handed over to the garrison department, even if it was a speck of dust, the museum would not be lost!
After holding back his anger and sending the curator away, Ryan sprayed the anger that had been as violent as a volcanic eruption in the short period of ten minutes to the police officers in the security department.
"Wait a minute, no! Immediately! Go and call back all the police officers who have gone out on patrol and on leave! Defend the museum tonight, not even a fly will fly in!"
"I'm afraid it's not good to be like this, sir," a cowardly-looking police officer in his early twenties said timidly, but before he finished speaking, he heard Ryan's deep voice coming!
"As a police officer of Prontera, as a security officer who maintains the sacred city of Prontera, you must always be ready to face these criminal outlaws, I think every sheriff has this awareness, do you think I am right!?"
The officer, known as Scar, looked at the anger in Ryan's eyes and replied in a panic, "Yes, sir. ”
"Since yes, then why don't you go and notify me quickly!" At the end of the sentence, Ryan almost roared out, and at the same time, his foot was already imprinted on the butt of the police officer, kicking it out, and his eyes showed strong dissatisfaction with the little police officer who hesitated to say his words at this time.
In this regard, the other police officers tacitly turned their heads away and looked out the window. Although they were accustomed to this scene, and usually laughed out loud, but at this moment, because no one wanted to touch Chief Ryan's brow, they had to pretend not to see it. Who made this little police officer called Scar, although he has been in the company for three years, he is still the youngest police officer.
The kingdom of Rune Midgard is the only human state on the continent, and Prontera is the capital of the behemoth kingdom of Rune Midgard, the most prosperous city in the entire kingdom, and it also has the strongest army in the kingdom. Among them, the most famous are the Imperial City Army, which is known as the Iron Wall, and the Expeditionary Dragoon, which is known as the chariot. Therefore, in Prontera, most of the aspiring and aspiring young people chose to join these two armies, hoping to show their strength.
As a direct result, no one in the security department that maintains law and order in the city is willing to join, and after a long time without new people joining, the security personnel in the city are becoming fewer and fewer, and the prestige of the security department is also plummeting. Whether it is to fill the number indiscriminately, or to show the low threshold side of the Security Department, Rien can only stubbornly compile this young man called Scar, otherwise with Scar's weak character and identity without any education and background, it is impossible to get the Guard Department.
Of course, all this is not the whole reason why Chief Ryan dislikes this called the mark, and another point is that this mark is so picky that even the few coppers that he bought a drink when he traveled with the chief have to be begged for back.
And in recent years, a big thief called Star has appeared out of thin air, which has made the already depressed Security Department even worse. This star, even Ryan has to admit that he is a tricky opponent. In his game with the stars, Ryan has managed to steal several exhibits and treasures from the city's largest families. What made Ryan even more angry was that in the past three years, the star had become more and more arrogant, and every time he stole a treasure, he would send a letter before stealing the treasure, telling the owner of the treasure that he would come to steal the treasure, and slamming the incompetence of the security department.
This is definitely a stain on Lien's life, and he swore that he must bring this thief called Xing to justice in this life, and therefore, when he learned that this star was fighting the idea of falling stars for the treasures to be exhibited in the museum, Rien directly forcibly took over the security work and did not let the museum director report to the Imperial City Army, because this was his fateful duel with Xing!
Because of the obsession of Chief Rien, the police officers who should have sat at home by the fire, draped in blankets, baked by the fire, and sat comfortably with sweet dreams, gathered around the Prontera Museum on this snowy night.
"Sir, all entrances and exits of the museum, including vents, chimneys, etc., have been guarded by police officers! Traces saluted Ryan and reported on the deployment of personnel.
Ryan nodded in satisfaction and said, "Well, well done! I'm going to see how that nasty guy gets in this time!" After saying that, he clapped his hands and said loudly: "You guys, come with me to the room where the falling star is placed, I want to see how the falling star stole from under my eyelids!"
When everyone entered the room with the falling star, everyone was attracted by the exhibit in the center of the room, even in this magnificent palace, this deep azure meteorite is still the focus of everything. No matter how many exquisite exhibits there are, they are overshadowed in front of it, and they can only be avoided.
"Beautiful, no word in the world can describe your beauty. Ryan exclaimed, and he could hear several swallowing voices around him, even though it wasn't the first time they had seen the falling star, but every time they saw it, he still couldn't help but let out this compliment.
Just when everyone was admiring the beauty of the falling star, a weak voice sounded.
"Sir Ryan, do you think the stars are just going to attack other exhibits under the guise of stealing the falling stars, every exhibit in the museum is priceless?"
"Trace" Ryan interrupted the voice, he took a deep look at the young police officer, slowly exhaled, and said in a lonely tone: "You don't understand, I've been fighting Xing for many years, and I know his personality very well. Although I hate him, I have to admit that he is a trustworthy man, and he will only come to steal what he fancies, and will never be untrustworthy. ”
Hearing the commander's affirmative words, he didn't dare to say anything, and a group of police officers also began their work, carefully monitoring every corner.
Time passes minute by minute, and the winter night is very long, especially in the cold winter, time seems to be frozen by the low temperature, and the passage is getting slower and slower.
"Knock~~" The bell rang at eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, and some police officers who were already a little sleepy were also reminded by the bell to expel a moment of sleepiness. The exhibition ended at four o'clock in the afternoon, and after the exhibition, they had already come to the museum to guard, and by this time they had been guarding for seven hours, and everyone looked tired.
Oh no, there was one more person, and that was Chief Ryan, who was the only one who still had a straight waist, and his dry and bloodshot eyes were still patrolling around again and again because of the long time he had been open, and even if a flying insect passed by, he would be caught in his eyes.
"Sir, I have a question," and then, the weak voice came into Ryan's ears again.
Hearing this, Ryan glared at the little police officer called Scar, and then said in a deep voice: "Speak!"
"Sir, you can guarantee that the star is who he is, but you can guarantee that the letter was really sent by the star and not someone else using his name."
The voice of the mark was very small, but Ryan was really shocked when he heard it, and there was a look of hesitation in his eyes.
However, at this moment, I heard a muffled sound outside the door, and then the door was slammed open, and a police officer staggered in, his expression was sluggish, and he used his last strength to say: "The chief star is here and go to the rare metal hall" After speaking, he fell to the ground.
"What! Ryan's body shook, revealing an expression of disbelief, but he quickly stabilized, and said in a deep voice, Go to the Rare Metal Pavilion!
Suddenly, a group of police officers quickly rushed towards the Rare Metal Pavilion, and just when most of the people had already rushed out of the room where the falling star was placed, Rien suddenly stopped, he slowly turned his head, looked at the police officer lying on the ground and said, "Say your number." ”
