After Gundaruf left, the chaos gradually subsided, replaced by a highly tense state of martial law. All elevators leading to the upper areas were temporarily closed, and heavily armed magic knights controlled the streets.
Steam trains were used to block every corner where enemies might be hiding. The judges of the Balance of Order, armed with huge magic guns and exquisite magic detection instruments, began to search from house to house, whether it was ordinary residential shops or
Government offices such as city hall and banks cannot stay away.
As for the middle and lower areas, the policemen wearing black uniforms, explosion-proof helmets and shields finally arrived belatedly and began to maintain order. In front of these police officers whose attitude could not be said to be very friendly, the criminals who wanted to fish in troubled waters also
I had to restrain my arrogance and blended into the crowd to pretend to be innocent victims. Although the scene was still noisy, it was at least much better than the previous panic and blindness.
Only when you are trapped in darkness can you understand the value of light.
The upper area was blocked, but the middle and lower areas were not. Ringer turned to the two of them and said, "Let's go back."
"Ah? Are you leaving now?"
Alice was disappointed: "Aren't you going to stay and join in the fun... Uh, I mean, aren't you going to stay and observe the situation? You heard what the guy said just now, right? Are you not interested at all?"
The Church of Judgment was attacked!
The Holy See of Judgment was provoked by those werewolves riding on its face!
The United Church is in disgrace!
There's such a big fuss, and you want me to leave just as I'm waiting to be eaten? There's no sense in that.
I won’t leave, I won’t leave!
Unless you let me finish the melon first.
"My intuition tells me," the golden-haired maid leaned behind Saint Xalia and stuck her head out, her eyes flashing with (what she thought was) a wise light: "This plot is the main mission we are going to do next.
Maybe - no, it must have something to do with the next girl, Queen! What do you think, Xiaoxia?"
She pushed her head against the shepherd girl's cheek, suggesting that it's time for you to speak for me. Saint Xalia was a little itchy by her messy hair, so she hid back and replied lightly: "I heard Lin
It’s perfect.”
Alice was overjoyed when she heard this: "Then Linge listen to me!"
Who said I should listen to you?
The young man's eyes twitched and he said expressionlessly: "My intuition also tells me that it is very dangerous to stay here, so we'd better leave the city as soon as possible. As for the clues you mentioned, we can look for them later.
Not too late."
"If you look for it later, it won't count as a clue."
Alice whispered: "You are still unwilling to accept the mission after the plot has been dumped in your face. Ringer, you really don't know how to play games. Why don't you do it for me?"
It seems that if she doesn't agree to her request, this guy will complain for hours on the way back.
Ringer didn't want to face such a terrible thing. He thought about it carefully and felt that what Alice said was reasonable. Since she was so insistent, it would be a bit unreasonable for him to refuse repeatedly. He said: "Then you go.
Join in the fun - well, I mean, go look for clues."
Alice's eyes lit up, she didn't expect Ringer to have such a reasonable side: "Really!?"
Ringer raised his eyebrows: "Of course."
When has he ever made a joke?
"Then let's go quickly!"
Alice turned around to leave, looking as excited as if she had skipped the novice tutorial, and finally stood at the door of the boss room, about to start a killing spree. But Ringer and Saint Xalia stood there, motionless, silently
Watching her back walking away. One step, two steps, three steps... The golden-haired maid never heard the footsteps coming behind her, so she turned back and asked doubtfully: "What's the matter? Why are you standing there in a daze?"
Do you want to regret it?"
"I didn't say I wanted to go back on my word, but I didn't say I wanted to go with you." Lin Ge explained calmly: "So what I just meant is: you go look for clues, and we will wait for you here."
"Ah?"
"I wish you good luck." The young man was serious and his tone was very serious.
"Poof!"
Saint Xalia next to her finally couldn't help it and burst into laughter.
Alice: "..."
Why do you suddenly feel so tired?
Maybe it’s because this world is full of lies, deceit, pretense, and despicable adults.
Thinking of this, the golden-haired maid sighed deeply, melancholy, and without any trace of performance.
"Let Metien play games with you when you get back."
"Come on, come on!"
……
Half an hour later, a carriage set off from the Trade Union Station outside the city, leaving the city that was still shrouded in fear, panic and a strict atmosphere. In the attack that just passed, travelers from afar saw this for the first time.
The factors of violence and anger flowing in the bones of this city were revealed, and for the first time, he came into contact with one of the five oldest clans on the peninsula. Compared to the short journey, everything that happened was too long.
, so that it makes people feel at a loss.
However, as the leader of the Silver Moon and one of the members of the Thirteen Hermits, "The Biting Moon" Gundaruf Neoesu, said, this matter is not the end, on the contrary, it has just
It begins and is destined to draw everyone on this peninsula into a huge and rapid whirlpool.
That’s right, everyone.
Including humans, including aliens; including the indigenous people of the peninsula, and of course the travelers who have just set foot on this land.
You cannot escape, the son of a man of faith.
The last believer came to the Scycilia Peninsula and took away the spirituality of the Great Swamp, intending to forge it into a sharp blade against the union of the Order, but was ultimately defeated and died; and you, who followed in his footsteps and came here,
For what purpose do you want to take away something from this peninsula?
Let me look forward to your choice, son of man.
On the highest mountain, the wind howled fiercely, and a pair of cold and sharp vertical boys looked down at the mountains and land, rivers and canyons, roads and cities, fields and olive groves that were as small as a chessboard at their feet... and finally fixed their gaze on the car.
On the carriage that was driving farther and farther away, I stared motionlessly until it disappeared beyond the horizon, then slowly withdrew my sight, turned around, jumped, and disappeared into the deepest part of the rolling mountains.
……
"But then again, why was the Church of Judgment so easily breached?" Alice sat in the carriage, holding her chin, thinking: "After all, it is also the headquarters of the Judgment Holy See, so its defense is so weak.
Is it? The werewolves of Silver Moon went to Qiyu Port and made a big fuss, and even escaped unharmed. If we don’t give some color to this, what will everyone think of the Judgment Holy See and even the entire religious sect in the future? Do you think they have changed?
Are you weak and easy to bully?"
She was daydreaming about the future, as if she had already seen such a scene.
Ringer stared straight ahead and replied calmly: "That is also a matter of the alliance of religious groups and has nothing to do with us."
"How can you say that? They are obviously closely related!" Alice shouted.
After all, her imaginary "final boss" has always been the United Order.
Lin Ge ignored her and was just thinking about another question in his mind: Why did the werewolves of Silver Moon attack the Temple of Sin?
Although the attack on the Judgment Temple can very well undermine the prestige of the United Order, and the time they chose is just right, it happens to be when the Grand Inquisitor and other confidential figures are not in Qiyu Port, and the core strength of the Judgment Temple is at its weakest.
,But, so what?
This attack only caused some chaos, but did not bring greater trouble to the alliance of religious orders; besides, so what if it succeeded? Could it be that Gundaruff felt that he had lost the Church of Sin and the arbitrators of the Balance of Order?
Wouldn't they dare to continue to hunt down the aliens in the Scycilia Peninsula? The United Order would be afraid of the power of the Silver Moon and even the Thirteen Hermits, and would take the initiative to avoid it? This is undoubtedly a wishful thinking, and will not only fail to alleviate the situation, but will intensify the conflict. As Alice said, with the way of the United Order, after being provoked in this way, they will definitely retaliate fiercely. As for the method used to retaliate, it is nothing more than blood and killing.
What Gundaluff did is hard to understand.
If you can barely explain it, you may think that he is imitating Rochelle. The Walkers of the Fertile Soil Sect are trying to challenge the power of the Earth Witch-Crimson Nightgate head-on, proving that the alliance of the sect is not invincible; and the ferocious wolf of the Silver Moon is even more Arrogant, he led a crowd to attack the headquarters of the Holy See, proving this point in a more direct and sharp way.
However, Ringer felt that this possibility was unlikely.
Because Gundaruff made no secret of his contempt and disdain for Rochelle in the conversation. With his conceited and unruly character, how could he allow himself to imitate an annoying person?
So it can only be explained that there is another reason.
As for what the reason is, Linge can only answer with a sentence from Saint Xalia: He doesn't know.
After all, as an outsider, we are trapped in the fog, and the information we know is limited by our sight. If we cannot jump out of the chaos and see the overall situation, it may be difficult to clarify the context of the entire incident and analyze the reasonable reasons.
The only thing he knew was that he shouldn't get involved in this fog.
Whether it is for yourself or your companions, staying away from the fight between two behemoths is the most appropriate choice, instead of being like Alice, who wants to take a look wherever there is excitement. This is the mentality of a game player, not a normal person. mentality.
But, will it really go that smoothly?
For some reason, there is always an uneasy premonition in the minds of young people, ready to take action.
