Chapter Seventy-Five: Shocking
Silver Collar, City Lord's Mansion.
Levi frowned, and the atmosphere in the room was oppressive.
A few minutes ago, information came from the Witch's Hand.
A witch stationed on the eastern border, while guarding the city, was besieged by a large number of polluted monsters, and finally died uncontrollably due to excessive use of magic.
"I'm sorry, it was my negligence, I think the minister's next target should be one of the three cities of the Redstone Collar, the Gale Collar, and the Dragonclaw Collar, but I didn't expect him to choose the eastern border in the end."
Erin closed her eyes slightly.
The death of a witch at the hands of a minister was a very painful thing for her.
Levi shook his head: "It's not your fault, normally, the minister's next target should indeed be the Redstone Collar." ”
"It seems that after the last time Deya's incident, the minister also realized that someone was targeting him and began to change his strategy."
Ollie touched his chin: "It's okay, we didn't reveal our identities the whole time that time, at least the minister doesn't know who is dealing with him now." ”
Hearing this, Levi looked at Xiya out of the corner of his eye.
The latter raised the corners of his mouth at him and smiled smugly.
Levi rolled his eyes and withdrew his gaze.
Daia pursed her lips: "Your Excellency Erin...... So, what happened to that city? ”
Erin shook her head slightly: "According to the information I received, after the witch got out of control, she turned into a black giant snake and completely destroyed most of the city. ”
"Soon after, a large number of witches wearing cloaks appeared at the scene, and they killed the giant snake together."
"The death toll is probably more than 300,000, and the number of injured is too many to count."
Hearing Erin's words, Deya's face turned a little pale.
If she had listened to the minister's subordinates at that time and taken the initiative to get out of control, Long Xiangling's fate might not be much better.
Fortunately...... Compared to the witch, he was lucky.
If Master Black hadn't guessed the minister's actions in advance and sent them to help, she couldn't have imagined the consequences.
Thinking of this, she looked at Levi with some gratitude.
Seeing Daiya's appearance, Xiya raised the corners of her mouth.
She leaned into Levi's ear and whispered, "See, that blue-haired girl's favorability towards you is skyrocketing, you go to her tonight and ask her to dedicate herself to you, she must be willing." ”
Levi stretched out his hand and pushed her head away: "When that witch fell, did she create a secret realm?" ”
The so-called secret realm refers to the special realm formed by the witch when she fell due to the interference of a powerful force field.
For example, the "Ring of the Sky", which has no gravity within a radius of four kilometers, is a very famous secret place.
"Nope." Erin shook her head: "Except for the strong magic and pollution fluctuations, there is no power left at the scene, let alone a secret realm. ”
"It seems that all the special powers generated during the fall have been taken away by the minister."
Levi leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temples.
The worst thing at the moment is not that the minister's plan is going well.
It's that he can't even be sure what the minister's purpose is.
Is it true that the minister collects the power of the fallen to make dolls?
To date, there is no evidence to suggest a connection between the creation of dolls and the power of the Fallen.
In case the minister plays more than he thinks, such as pooling all the corrupt power he has collected, transporting it to a suitable place to detonate it......
I'm afraid the effect is stronger than that of a fat man, a little boy or something like that.
Levi sincerely hopes that he thinks too much.
…………
……
Not far from the castle lord's mansion, there was a small manor, which was closely guarded by soldiers.
After saying hello to the guards at the door, Li Wei walked into the courtyard.
In the distance, I saw a middle-aged man sitting in the courtyard, frowning slightly, reading a book carefully.
In his hand, there is also a thick notebook, on which he writes something from time to time.
It was none other than the previous lord of the Silver Lord, Lotto Wood.
Soon after taking the silver collar, Levi released him from prison and placed him under house arrest.
Lotto didn't have any objections to his situation, but he just wanted to send his collection of books, and Levi checked with Thea and Lilith to make sure that there were no magic mechanisms in those books, and then sent them to him.
He quietly leaned over and saw that there were a lot of strange shapes written on the notebook, similar to words.
Not to mention, this text looks a bit Latin, and it is worthy of being one of the representative texts of occultism, even in other worlds, you can see similar things......
As if sensing someone approaching, the middle-aged man subconsciously turned his head.
Seeing that it was Levi, he was slightly stunned, and then showed a relieved expression.
"Is it time to execute me?"
"After you became a lord, I probably saw everything you did, and it was indeed me who looked away in the past, and I was relieved that the silver collar was handed over to you."
"I don't have any requests, I just hope that after I am executed, I will be able to put these books in my grave,"
Looking at the babbling Lotto, Levi waved his hand.
"Don't be in a hurry to die yet, I'm not here to talk about this."
Under Lotto's puzzled gaze, Levi told him about the witch losing control and the destruction of the city.
The purpose of the minister, he also briefly said.
After listening to Levi's story, Lotto's face was a little ugly.
"I see...... I've always wondered why the minister went around in such a big circle if he just wanted to kill you, and to lure the pollution monsters over, and to force the night witch to get out of control. ”
"It turns out that his real purpose is not to kill you, but to ...... the power of the Witch of the Night"
Levi nodded, "Yes, now you understand, I stopped your plan, not only for myself, but also for the silver collar." ”
"If I hadn't managed to stop your stupidity, I'm afraid the Silver Collar would have been in ruins right now, just like the eastern border city."
"What the minister wants is the special power generated when the witch falls, it is impossible to activate the collar before the witch falls, only after he collects all the special powers, will he let his obedient witch subordinates go to surround and kill the fallen witch."
Lotto's brow furrowed.
He didn't doubt that the destruction of the city was a lie, first of all, he had no value in being deceived, and besides, this kind of big news would not be long before it spread throughout the Red Dragon Empire, and even the Southern Continent, and everyone would know about it by then.
However, he is not very sure whether what Li Wei said about the minister is true or false.
After all, things related to the minister are not something that he can understand at his level......
After a long silence, he looked at Levi.
"You tell me this, you have something to do with me...... Say, what's the matter? ”
Regardless of whether what Levi said is true or not, at least the silver collar is indeed preserved now.
Li Wei clapped his hands: "Happy, I like your temperament." ”
As he spoke, he shouted to the door, "Move in!" ”
Under the ghostly gaze of Lotto, several soldiers walked into the courtyard.
Several people carried a large pile of documents on a large stretcher.
He knew these documents all too well.
Isn't this all official documents handled by the city lord?!
Lotto's eyes darkened.
He suddenly realized what Levi was going to do for himself......
