Chapter 544 In fact, there is an easier way to stop the ritual
Saturday, December 3, 1350.
Due to the war in recent days, Backlund, which was originally prosperous, has completely fallen into a state of depression. Sadness and pain seem to be contagious, spreading on everyone's face. Some people are mourning for the relatives and friends who died in the previous air raids. Some people are worried about their relatives on the battlefield, and some people are just worried about the rising food prices again.
In silence, they walked out of their homes and gathered towards the nearby square, because today, the King of Loen, George III, was going to give a speech.
Ordinary civilians didn't know what to say in this speech, but out of the majesty of the king and the attitude of the soldiers who went to door to door, who didn't seem to be trying to be reasonable, they still chose to walk out of their homes, like drops of water, on the road. It merges into a stream and eventually flows into a lake called the Square.
Not only Backlund, but also in major cities in Loen, many civilians gathered in local squares. Of course, in more remote areas, the requirements are not so strict——
If you have a radio at home that you got when you subscribed to the newspaper, you can listen to it at home.
Soldiers in red clothes and white trousers, wearing metal backpacks and holding large-caliber steam rifles, were guarding the perimeter of the square. Their vigilant eyes were not as simple as guarding a square at all.
Compared to the square guarded by only a team of soldiers, Remembrance Day Square in the West District has been surrounded by the most elite guards in the kingdom. Today, in this most prestigious square in Backlund, George III will personally take the stage. , delivered his speech, and in the audience were the most noble people in Loen.
As nine o'clock arrived, George III ascended to the high platform on time. He wore a traditional Loen palace dress and an imperial crown from the Balam Empire on his head, and began his speech——
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am your emperor, George Augustus III, ruler of Loon, East Balam, and the Rossed Islands."
His voice was transformed into an electrical signal through the microphone, and under the control of a dedicated person, it spread throughout Backlund.
Under the influence of his extraordinary ability, that powerful speech infected all the citizens who were listening. Tiny sobs accompanied by sad emotions began to spread, merged, and turned into a huge emotional resonance.
Audrey restrained her emotional fluctuations and looked away from the king, but she was thinking about one thing in her heart——
Mr. Devil, only a substitute came.
Although the double could almost look real, as a senior psychiatrist, Audrey could be sure that it was just a clone, and the real Mr. Devil had disappeared for a long time.
Not only did she take time off in public, but she even took time off from Tarot Club meetings, which made her feel vaguely uneasy.
"Mr. World seems to attach great importance to today's speech, and Mr. Devil seems to have signed a contract with the royal family for some reason..."
Audrey had a very bad premonition in her heart, feeling that these two things might cause huge problems for today's speech.
Just when Audrey was diverting her attention, George III, a serious and old-fashioned man with two mustaches, had finished the first paragraph of the description and solemnly said:
"Let us observe a moment of silence for our heroes here, ladies and gentlemen, and say after me in your hearts:"
"In the name of Emperor George III, may the spirits of the dead find peace, and may they live forever in the country where they believe in gods."
…
"Haha, you did a great job..." Snow, who had changed his clothes, straightened his tie. Beside him, Prince Edsac, who had returned to his male body, and Triss, who looked awkward, were talking to each other. They looked at each other and then started to separate. An atmosphere that was incompatible with the scene seemed to be spreading.
"If you want to wink, we can wait until we get home after the matter is over." Snow rolled his eyes, threw a charm to Edsac, and stopped the two people's argument about "who was winking" with his eyes. He took a deep breath and said:
"Go get ready."
"I got it." At this time, Edsac was in the excitement of "the situation is settled." He held the talisman and walked in the direction of the MI9 defense members. Seeing his high-spirited look, Triss bit Clenching his teeth, anger rising.
"Okay, the ability of the Dark One can release the characteristics. When you find the Iron-Blooded Knight, the worst possible outcome is to extract the Witch of Despair and drink it again, but you have to be the queen for a few years to stabilize the situation." Snow said casually, There was a flash of light in Triss's eyes, she nodded and said:
"I will!"
"What do you know? I'm kidding!" The corner of Snow's mouth twitched slightly, but he saw that Triss had disappeared. He couldn't help but laugh secretly. He glanced at "George III" who started to speak again, but the smile in his eyes instantly transformed into Killing intent——
"If you want to stop the ritual, there is actually a very simple way."
As he spoke, he took out a bottle of potion that had been prepared and drank it in one gulp.
Schrödinger's cat, first drinks the medicine, then dies, if it succeeds it lives, if it fails it dies.
Feeling that the potion was crazily transforming his body, Snow had no idea of stabilizing his mental state. His spirituality quickly evaporated. At that moment, his sense of existence suddenly rose, but he had not attracted anyone yet. Before paying attention, it was already in decline.
Feeling that the shadow of order had been activated, Snow jumped out and lifted his own cognitive barriers. At the same time, his fingers pressed the button on his waist...
"Kaka..."
"I will once again lower the property requirements for the right to vote and transfer more rights to..."
Just when Qiao San was giving a passionate speech in his imagination, a burst of discordant notes suddenly came to mind, and the impactful music instantly interrupted his speech. The music had a clear source, but it seemed to resound in all directions. , those notes even passed through the microphone, through the broadcast, through the radio, and were delivered to every corner of Loen.
(bgm:lock me up)
Almost instantly, everyone in the square turned their attention to the source of the sound, which was a man wearing a blue shirt, a yellow vest, and a red coat.
His face was painted with oil paint, with a red nose, blue eye sockets, and cracked, uncomfortable raised corners of his mouth.
A clown, a clown who is extremely eye-catching, extremely eye-catching, and extremely crazy.
"Quick, stop him!" Although he didn't know why such a clown suddenly appeared, the guard who had been standing at the sentry immediately issued an order to MI9 through the wireless device.
But the moment they stood up, a voice suddenly followed their communication equipment and reached the ears of every MI9 member nearby——
"In the name of Augustus, I order you to stand down!"
The guard at the sentry turned around suddenly, only to see a man who should have been dead long ago——
Edsac Augustus.
In his hand, a talisman had just turned into light, and its activation spell seemed to be...
