Chapter 53: The Candle
Seongbuk Arsenal.
To be precise, the direction of the arsenal is in the northwest corner of Maple Grove City.
A large amount of ordnance was sealed here, only to be activated when the army was deployed.
It's heavily defended, and at all times, there's always a 100-man team stationed here. The hundred-man team would be divided into ten squads, each of which would be headed by a monk.
Of course, this is not to say that the proportion of monks in the city guard of Maple Forest City is so high, but because the significance of the arsenal is so great that the generals who adjust the defense deliberately increase the proportion of elites.
In comparison, the City Lord's Mansion itself was not guarded by many monks, because the City Lord Wei Quji himself was the most deterrent combat force in Maple Forest City.
At the same time, the rotation of the arsenal is also one of the daily tasks of the disciples of the Taoist Academy. There are two disciples of the Taoist Academy guarding here every day, and there are very few Daoxuns, but they are stable, and there is basically nothing to do, which does not affect the meditation practice. In fact, this task is scrambling for many people, and it can be regarded as fast and slow.
The arsenal is divided into internal and external, and such a high level of defense is of course not only to protect the mountains of common armor in the outer arsenal.
In terms of space, the inner arsenal is extremely small, and it only occupies a small room in the middle of the entire arsenal.
However, from the walls to the roof and even the ground, there are specially engraved magic circles to prevent people from violently penetrating. If there is an attack that these circles cannot resist, Necuri's self-destructing formation will activate.
Various measures have restricted anyone to enter the inner treasury from the main entrance with a special seal.
And the two disciples of the Dao Academy, and the strongest ten-person squad of the hundred-person team, were guarding in front of Neku. Except for wheel defense, it will not move a step.
This kind of defense is almost foolproof. Especially today is a big day for the three cities to discuss the Tao, and a large number of city guards are stationed in the city, and there will be no blind people to come to seek death.
So when two people wearing the uniforms of the city guards came and made the seal verified, the squad leader on duty didn't think much about it, and opened the door of the inner library.
"Wait. The disciple of the City Dao Academy, who was meditating on the futon on the right side of the door with his knees crossed, suddenly said.
He didn't mean to doubt these two people, but felt that Ling Yin also needed to take a look, so that he could be considered duty-worthy.
But the two men who had already stepped into the inner library suddenly turned back.
A long hair swelled like a black needle empty. One opened its bloody mouth and spat out a bloody snake!
The disciple of the City Dao Academy, whose name was stopped, was pierced in the face with black hair almost immediately, and he fell to the ground in anger. And the squad leader monk of the city guard was covered in filthy blood, and in an instant, only white bones remained!
In just one round, there was only one monk left outside the inner library gate, and although the remaining nine city guards were elite, they were only ordinary forces.
"I just want to steal a lazy ......" The only remaining disciple of the City Dao Academy stroked his forehead, and the next moment he rose up, bent his fingers a little, and the golden light arrow broke through the wind and headed for the enemy.
Ding and other high-grade Taoist techniques, golden light arrows.
It is instantaneous, which means that this person has at least completed the small Zhoutian cycle and cultivated to be above the eighth grade.
He commanded while attacking: "Disperse and report the news, I'll hold it down here!"
It is true that he is not sure that he will defeat these two guys who dare to attack the arsenal of Maple Grove City, but at this moment, in Maple Grove City, there is no doubt that the official power has an absolute advantage. As long as the news spreads, no matter how many opponents come, they will only end up being killed.
It was customary for soldiers to obey orders, and of course they would not delay, and the nine soldiers immediately dispersed and fled.
At this time, almost all of the entire Maple Forest City, except for the martial arts arena and other places where the strong gathered, were in chaos.
or arson, or riot and murder, and a moment of noise.
Inside the arsenal, the two attackers did not hesitate, the attackers with black hair as weapons stayed behind to fight, and the attackers who spat blood from their mouths rushed straight into the inner arsenal.
They had a very clear goal! Such a thought flashed through the hearts of the only remaining disciples of the City Dao Academy. The fingers are connected to the dots, the edges are sharp again and again, and the golden light arrow is used by him to show the effect of arrow rain in the sky!
The golden arrows and the black-haired arrows compete against each other, one is sharp and the other is treacherous.
As they were holding each other, a long knife suddenly slashed, and the black-haired attacker fell to the ground with a bang, and his body separated.
Wei Yan grabbed the long knife and turned it into the inner warehouse.
A bloody snake swooped down in front of him, and he didn't dodge or dodge, and his long knife slashed vertically, splitting the bloody snake in half. He swooped forward between the separated blood serpents, almost confronting the attacker who was spitting filthy blood, and stabbed him in the heart!
But the attacker laughed strangely, and with his last strength, he rejoiced, "The Candle has been sent away by me!!"
Behind Wei Yan, the filthy blood snake that was divided into two suddenly writhed, half of it pounced on the Daoist disciple who was instantly emitting golden light arrows, blocking his movements, and the other half was really like a snake, writhing and running away from here!
There is no doubt that the treasure called the Candle is in this half-blood snake.
"It's okay for you to have a candle. Wei Yan pulled out the long knife from this person's heart, and his voice was as cold as frost: "But I want to kill the people you came today!"
At the same time, everywhere in Maple Grove City, there are masters who have been in ambush for a long time.
One of the attackers had just finished setting fire to a hedgehog and the flames were extinguished instantly.
On the other side, the bloody Dao technique pounced on the passers-by, and saw the waves flipping and the rolling wood rumbling...... A barrage of Dao spells blasted the attacker to pieces.
The Maple Forest City side had already prepared, and almost all the masters had been dispatched, and a disaster was immediately suppressed.
......
"What's going on?" Hearing a few screams in the distance, Jiang Wang picked up Jiang An'an as soon as possible.
The hunchbacked old man surnamed Gui also instantly held Qing Zhi's hand.
"Don't be alarmed. In the stands, Wei Qujian stretched out his hand and pressed it, "The game continues!"
Outside the martial arts arena, in addition to the soldiers who maintained order, teams of city guards scattered in all directions.
The ordinary people watching the game were not frightened, if Wei Quji and Dong A were present, they could have an accident, and it would not be safe to stay anywhere.
Moreover, these city guards were obviously carrying out military affairs, and they did not dare to leave to disturb.
......
Inside the arsenal, Wei Yan strode out, almost roaring: "Shen Nanqi, why didn't you stop that blood snake just now? Don't say you can't do it!"
The Blood Serpent escaped with the Candle, and it only took a few passes for such a delicate little object to disappear without a trace.
This also means that the "bait" taken out by Wei Qujian has been eaten. They had to kill all the "fish".
The disciple of the City Dao Academy named Shen Nanqi roared back in the same loud voice: "I know what the Dark Candle is? Who told me? Since you have a plan and preparation, why don't you tell us about it? My fellow disciple is dead, dead in front of me!"
The golden light in his hand was faint, and if it weren't for such a moment, he would almost be tempted to throw the golden light arrow into Wei Yan's face.
"Our brothers from the city guards are dying even more. Wei Yan's face sank like water.
He may not have wanted to explain, but before turning to leave, he added, "We don't know about the lurking of those people, and they won't show up if they don't keep it a secret." ”
Who are they? Shen Nanqi still wanted to ask, but he didn't say anything. He knew he wouldn't get an answer.
At this time, he even figured out that it was his turn to be lazy here today, maybe it was Wei Yan's arrangement. Among the Daoist disciples who had not played a game and happened to be "free" and could still hold back opponents of this level, there was no one more suitable than him, Shen Nanqi.
Fifth on the Maple Forest City Dao Honor List, Shen Nan seventh.
I don't have a favorite person, and the most hated person is Wei Yan.
It's a pity that he is also good at Jinxing Dao, but he is not Wei Yan's opponent.
