Chapter 553: Incident
The central square has long been the site of important events such as royal festivals, and today it is a tourist attraction both in Japan and abroad. On the left and right sides of the square are the largest magic show stages in the country, and there are often first-class powerhouses on stage to perform for free, attracting bursts of cheers. Due north is the King's Palace, while due south is the council premises. Important guilds also have a place here, including the Chamber of Commerce, the Mage's Guild, the Membrane Law Guild, and even the Assassins' Guild, while the original Mercenary Guild has been renamed the Architectural Guild.
In addition to the open flat ground, there is also a huge shovel up to 15 meters high, which is angrily stuck in the ground. The whole body is dark with a metallic sheen. Standing under the shovel and looking up, the heavy shovel seemed to be about to topple, but it was always an illusion.
This shovel is cast with the center of gravity in mind. The top end is gradually hollowed out and the bottom end is very solid, and even if it has nothing to do with the base, it will stand like a tumbler.
Regardless of the times, these venues remain solemn and sacred, even though they are covered with comic flags. As early as the beginning of the country, there were attempts to pollute these buildings. Even if it can't cause real harm, it's a great insult. For this reason, these important places have guards all year round, and even have enchantment shelters.
However, the square is huge, and in addition to these important places, there are many tourists and troubadours. The scenery here is beautiful, and it is also an excellent place for painting and sketching.
More than 3,000 fanatical believers arrived, most of them for the first time. Their squad leader first lined them up and began the pre-war mobilization in a decent manner.
"We will open up history", "We will subvert the old world", "We will be the true messengers of light"...... The impassioned speeches and inspiring speeches were like sparks splashing into dry firewood, burning in an instant, and the enthusiasm of more than 3,000 people was instantly ignited, raising their arms and chanting the slogan: "True Light Church is the first in the world!"
The surrounding passers-by looked sideways and stopped to watch, but at this time they did not realize the seriousness of the problem.
Subsequently, they began to act in a planned and organized manner. Some people picked up the leaflets and began to hand them out to passers-by and began to explain what they would do in a while. Some people started to set up the stage on the spot, while others continued to chant slogans to attract attention.
More and more people gathered around and talked about it. Some people saw that they were crumbs, and some people reported the crime. The parrot came down according to the program, just to say that they already knew about it and would deal with it immediately.
"Ladies and gentlemen," a moment later, the platform was erected, and the leader of the squad finally stepped to the front, "Do you want to know what a light spell is?
Someone in the crowd coaxed: "Yes." Of course, it may also be a pre-planted trust.
"Then let me see what kind of ritual you can truly become a master of light spells!" the team leader waved his hand.
Immediately, more than 100 pairs of men and women came up to the stage and began to rub against each other, the movements were not beautiful, but they were uniform, and at first glance they thought it was a dance. Until they start to take off, and then they can't be described! they can't be described! The only thing that can be described is that their indescribable is actually uniform.
The people below screamed, and many people couldn't stand it anymore and left, but many more stayed.
At the end of the first round on the stage, the squad leader came out again to introduce him, this time he began to introduce the teachings, introduce the principles of light spells, and even played a flash trick to prove that what he said was true.
Then he began to introduce the second method, lifting out more than twenty water tanks, and the corresponding twenty people jumped into the water tanks one after another and began to show themselves drowning.
The onlookers were shocked, although they had heard of this on the Internet, but it was the first time they had seen it with their own eyes. And many people have already reacted, why hasn't the sheriff come yet? When something like this happens in the central square, is the sheriff so slow to react?
Although someone had already reported the crime, and although Kevin went out of the city to the outskirts of the city, there were still people left behind in the sheriff's building. But for such a big event, Start, who stayed behind, thought that Kevin could only act if he personally approved it. Except for a small vanguard force, the other main forces were still waiting.
However, there were more than 3,000 people on the scene, and relying on the vanguard troops alone could only grasp the situation at most, and they did not even dare to intervene directly, in case the other side suddenly launched any changes and threatened the safety of ordinary people.
By the time Kevin finally hurried back to the sheriff's building, the Crumbs had already played at least one round, and now the second round of indescribable activities had begun.
"What's going on now?" Kevin's tone was calm, as if he wasn't in a hurry.
The sheriff on the side reported truthfully: "More than 300 people have gathered around, but our vanguard has quietly set up a separation zone on the periphery, at least there will be no more onlookers." ”
"How's the magic towers around work?" asked Kevin.
"It's working well at the moment. ”
"Have you sent someone to see it?" Kevin asked.
"Nope. But ......"
"Don't do it," Kevin ordered directly, "Each magic tower near the central square will be guarded by three people, one of whom is at least a technician, to ensure that no matter what happens, the magic will not stop!"
"Yes!" the sheriffs immediately arranged, and after a period of busyness, the teams set off one after another.
Sain stepped forward: "The rescuers I invited have already passed first, they are not sheriffs, at most they are on leave, and they are wearing civilian clothes. At present, it has blended into the crowd of onlookers. ”
Kevin nodded, then opened the map, but remained silent for a long time.
"Kevin, you can't wait any longer, or the above will blame you!" Lieutenant Colonel Weir was already anxious, "No matter what you're thinking, you must at least make a show and go over first!"
"I know," Kevin nodded, gritting his teeth, as if he had finally made a decision, "whether it is merit or demerit, posterity will comment." Twenty water mages!"
Twenty water mages stepped forward from the ranks of the sheriffs.
"Stand on the map for me and set up a magic circle around the central square," Kevin picked up his pen and quickly drew dots and lines on the map, "You have a task here, to reduce the temperature around you by 20 degrees." ”
Everyone looked at each other, obviously not quite understanding. But at this moment, he didn't ask much, and immediately took the order to leave.
Suddenly, a figure in the distance flew in, and it had landed in front of Kevin for a moment. Everyone almost subconsciously raised their weapons, thinking that the enemy was coming. Fortunately, however, the person who came had already declared his identity: "I am a messenger to His Majesty the King, and I have come to deliver the King's orders. While showing his ID.
Kevin was stunned and hurriedly stood upright: "Yes!"
"Kevin, the King has ordered you to clean up the crumbs in the square at once. The messenger spoke.
"Yes!" Kevin replied.
"Also, report the situation to the king in person afterwards. ”
"Yes!"
"After the summons, I'll go first. As soon as the messenger finished speaking, the man had disappeared into the distance.
Everyone looked at Kevin, Kevin was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "I'll go to the toilet first." ”
Everyone: "......"
Even Statt was a little panicked: "Kevin, forget it." Although there may be my suggestions, ...... The king has ordered. ”
"I'm measured," Kevin retorted, "Do you want me to pee my pants? Captain Sheriff peeing his pants in the middle of his mission? Isn't that a big tooth laughed at?"
Start hurriedly surrendered: "Okay, you can grasp it." ”
Everyone was helpless and watched Kevin run into the toilet, wait for a while, and then run out again. Fortunately, Kevin finally didn't make any more moths, and waved his hand: "Let's go!"
A group of vehicles roared out, and in the car, Kevin continued to maintain his command: "Is the person protecting the magic tower in place?" "What is the temperature in the central square now?"
The parrot in the air came down and reported: "The personnel are in place. "The temperature is currently 12 degrees, and it has dropped by 5 degrees. ”
"It's not enough, please hurry up, water mage!
With Kevin's words, the water mages immediately exerted their full strength, and the water element suddenly filled the sky above the central square, and even at the edge of the magic circle, bursts of water mist rose.
The crumbs and onlookers who were still preaching suddenly felt a little chill, and many of them suddenly sneezed, feeling that it was just a cold wind blowing suddenly, but the time was still short, and these were still within the acceptable range. Some people feel the flow of water elements gathering together, but this is not uncommon due to the fact that there are often magic shows around the square.
However, for the fanatics who are still holding their breath in the tank, there is a slight difference.
At present, the temperature near the square is already below zero, and although the water in the water tank will not freeze immediately, it is inevitable that the water temperature will drop sharply. Even the water element in the tank will resonate with the water element in the outside world, and the temperature will be cooled faster.
Under the stimulation of the sudden cold, it is inevitable that it will be difficult to hold your breath for a long time. You must know that in order to experience the feeling of near-death, these fanatics are stuck in the stopwatch to calculate the time. And now......
"Hey, that person doesn't seem to be able to do it?"
The team leader looked at the time, but felt that it had not yet arrived: "The feeling of dying is normal. Only in this way can we truly break through ourselves and surpass ourselves. ”
There was a lot of discussion among the people below, and the team leader was also kicking in his heart, of course he could see that the situation was not quite right. But today it is a square mission, how can it be wrong?
Grunt...... The person in the water tank spat out several bubbles in a row, and it seemed that he was going to die. Some people in the audience rolled up their sleeves and flew up to save people. But he was stopped by the team leader and shouted, this is normal, this is glorious, even if he dies, he will go to heaven......
There was a burst of brakes on the periphery, and Kevin and the other main forces finally arrived, and the first order was: "Remove the ice system magic circle and restore the temperature." ”
"Listen, you are surrounded, surrender immediately. If you have nothing to do with civilians, please leave immediately and do not watch. "Just shout and you're done.
Surrounded by sheriffs, the squad leader stood up and gave his subordinates chicken soup for the soul: "What difficulties are we facing......
"Silence!" Kevin personally took action, holding the sword on duty, he was still the strongest in combat power at this time. I saw him flying over the crowd, and the sword on duty slapped horizontally, and slapped the team leader to the ground with one move.
"Evacuate the people, save people!" Kevin stomped on the squad leader, and a gravity spell made him unable to move. Then he immediately swung his sword to split open the water tank, but the person holding his breath in the box had long since lost his breath.
The other sheriffs followed Kevin closely, almost destroying him, capturing all over 3,000 people, and he was powerless to fight back. There were no casualties on their own side, and the only threat these crumbs in the battle was suicide? One by one, they shouted something like "We didn't plan to come back alive" and "We will go to heaven...... But unfortunately, in the face of authority, suicide is also a luxury.
Starter stood beside Kevin, looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh: "I suddenly remembered the time when we fought bandits before, when those bandits rushed up in waves, thinking that they had the aura of the protagonist and did whatever they wanted. How similar is it to these people in front of you?"
Kevin nodded: "Yes, sometimes I also think about it, if I jump out on the first day and say that I have ultraviolet vindictiveness, can I scare them?
Starter shook his head: "It's definitely not okay to jump out on the first day." It's useless to say anything without impressing them. ”
Kevin sighed: "So this time I listened to your advice, if I follow my previous practice, I am afraid they will not have a chance to come to the square." ”
"Don't worry," Starter smiled, "Central Square is where all the civilian crystal balls in the country can be seen, and I reached out to the other bosses a few days ago to keep an eye on them." And I have brought with me hundreds of good bards, who have been wandering around the square, and today this thing will be seen all over the country. ”
