The next day, the civil servant held a funeral for Anthony. The sudden blow made his mother seriously insane. She didn't understand why his son couldn't be buried in the Heroes' Cemetery, and she didn't understand why his name couldn't be engraved in the Heroes' Cemetery.
On top of the stone tower.
No one could give this old woman a reasonable explanation.
Loews was sentenced to ten years of hard labor, and other relevant personnel also received due punishment. The spy crisis came to an end.
After eliminating the spies, it was time for Reggie to start preparing for the test firing of his artillery. The test firing time was chosen on a sunny afternoon, and the test firing location was chosen in a deserted village in the north. Reggie chose a test firing distance of six hundred feet.
, aiming the artillery at an abandoned farmhouse.
The shape of this weapon puzzled Chris. Except for the lack of a runner, it seemed to be no different from a large musket. Even the shape of the cannonball was very similar to the bullet.
The soldiers finished loading and pulled out the heavy battering ram. Reggie picked up the rope and showed a ferocious smile to everyone: "Muhahaha, keep your eyes open, the strongest in the world is
A great weapon is about to be born. From today on, no one will dare to covet the territory of Broken Snow City, and no one will dare to trample on the dignity of Broken Snow City!"
"Wait a moment!"
Reggie was about to pull the rope when Natalie suddenly yelled, which made Reggie tremble.
This girl is getting more and more presumptuous. Everyone understands that it is best not to disturb Reggie when he is showing off. This is the minimum respect for the lord.
Natalie also felt that she was a bit rash. After dozens of seconds of silence, Natalie laughed dryly and said, "Can you let me complete this great feat for you?"
"Do you want to give it a try? I know you do," Reggie laughed loudly, "but I can't give you this opportunity because I have waited too long, and I have to take the first shot."
"I beg you to grant me this honor."
"It's really not possible."
"I beg you again."
"I said no!" Reggie frowned. Natalie looked a little strange today. She never disobeyed Reggie's orders, and she should also know that testing new weapons has certain dangers. This kind of
She shouldn't interfere in the matter.
Chris, who was standing aside, also noticed something unusual: "It is said that elves have intuition that is different from ordinary people. Good girl, do you feel something?"
"No, it's nothing?" Natalie blushed. She was lying. She felt very bad, but she didn't want to ruin Reggie's mood.
"It's better to let the soldiers complete the test firing," Chris looked at Reggie and said, "This matter is not worth your risk."
"What do you mean it's not worth it?" The excessive excitement made Reggie a little irritable, "Do you know the extraordinary significance of this weapon?"
"No matter how important it is, all you have to do is pull the rope." Chris frowned and looked at Reggie, "Don't make things so complicated. Soldiers can also pull the rope, maybe better than you."
good!"
Khalaf also spoke: "Sir, to be honest, I also have some bad feelings. Let the soldiers complete the first test firing."
Everyone's advice made Reggie a little nervous. Is this test launch really dangerous?
He handed the rope to a soldier of the Third Army. When the soldier was about to pull the rope, Reggie suddenly stopped him.
Perhaps due to psychological effects, Reggie also had a vague premonition. He asked the soldiers to lengthen the rope by ten feet, and repeatedly warned the soldiers to lie down immediately after pulling the rope.
Reggie led everyone to push to a place a hundred feet away. Even if an accident occurred, Reggie believed that this distance could ensure safety.
"One! Two! Three!" Reggie counted three times, and the soldier pulled the rope.
Everyone present had witnessed too many miracles with Reggie. Without Reggie's explanation, they could imagine what would happen next. The dilapidated farmhouse would definitely turn into ruins.
But things were not as they imagined. The artillery did not turn the farmhouse into ruins, but exploded on the spot. Broken pieces flew everywhere. The soldier who pulled the rope had one hand cut off and fell to the ground wailing loudly.
Everyone's eyes returned to Reggie. Reggie calmly looked at the cannon that was blown to pieces, then lowered his head, and then looked at his chest.
A piece of artillery fragment sneaked into his chest, and blood flowed down the wound.
Reggie trembled and fell to the ground. Chris hugged Reggie and turned around and shouted: "Send him to the hospital quickly, quickly!"
…
There is a Baihua Castle in Zhilin City. Just by hearing the name, you should know the purpose of this castle. It was once the largest romantic place in Zhilin City and was famous for having hundreds of girls.
Now it has become a holy place for wizards. Alice has summoned seven absolutely pure wizards to complete a mysterious ritual in this castle.
Alice originally did not want to choose the ceremony location here. In her opinion, Fengyue Place was too filthy, and the entire Zhilin City was too filthy. She proposed to choose an absolutely pure place to perform the ceremony, but in this world
No place on the Internet is absolutely pure.
Alice's intention is obvious. She wants to delay time. Conrad knows her intention, but he does not want to give her a chance to delay. Charlemagne's patience is very limited, and he must use his patience in more valuable places.
Not to be worn away by this witch's little tricks.
Alice was forced to accept the Flower Castle. She had not thought of the name of the ceremony yet, let alone the content of the ceremony. She drew a totem of a five-pointed star intertwined with a giant snake in the hall of the castle. What she had to do every day
The thing is to sit in the center of the five-pointed star, surrounded by seven wizards, reciting incantations day and night.
This thing is really not as easy as imagined. This ritual has nothing to do with witchcraft. All links and processes are supported by Alice's acting skills, but even the best actors cannot always maintain good performance.
During the performance, she fell asleep several times while reciting the incantation because she didn't know which part of the incantation to recite and spent most of the time praying repeatedly. In this case, people can easily fall asleep.
, even with a huge hood, you can still often see a long line of drool hanging from her mouth.
In order to create a mysterious atmosphere and hide inadvertent flaws, Alice asked the wizards to cover all the windows with heavy curtains. The hall was dark, lit only by a few dim candles, which were specially made by Alice.
Yes, they cannot emit bright light, but they can produce a lot of smoke.
When Charlemagne came to the castle for the first time, he saw a group of wizards chanting strange spells amidst the smoke. He was really frightened by such a scene.
But when he came for the second time, the mystery gradually faded, and Charlemagne began to ask about some details of the ceremony.
On the third visit, Charlemagne interrupted Alice directly. He wanted to know when he would get the result he wanted.
This was a sign that Charlemagne was losing patience, and Alice also received worse news. The chief warlock of the royal capital came to Zhilin City at the invitation of the prime minister. He wanted to lead the alchemists to re-study Reggie's weapons. He thought
It was just a crossbow with a strange shape. The reason why it could not be used now was because the suitable crossbow arrows and bow strings had not yet been found. The chief warlock boasted that he could figure out how to use it within three days.
Can the Chief Warlock do this? Maybe he can. If he succeeds, it will be a fatal disaster for Alice.
Imagine the scene. If the chief warlock walked up to Charlemagne with a musket and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, we already know how to use this weapon. It's just some craftsman's little skills and has nothing to do with witchcraft."
, that woman named Alice lied."
Guess what the outcome will be? Charlemagne will shoot Alice straight through the head with his new crossbow.
Every time she sees this musket, Alice will have a series of nightmares, and now she must stop this nightmare.
She set up a stove in the hall of the castle and cooked a large pot of witchcraft medicine in a clay pot. She learned a method of preparing witchcraft medicine from a book, but this book actually had nothing to do with witchcraft.
These are all Jianghu methods.
This pot of witch medicine is actually a pot of mixture of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid. Although the proportion and purity need to be improved, its composition is very close to aqua regia.
Alice asked the wizards to kneel down and worship, praying to the gods with the most pious heart, while she recited a spell and threw the only musket captured into the witch potion.
Except for the wooden butt, all parts of the musket melted. Alice knew the consequences of this, and she would probably be executed by the furious Charlemagne.
But if she doesn't do this, Charlemagne still won't let her go when the lie is exposed.
Alice decided to gamble again. She had gambled many times and she had never failed until now.
After learning that Alice had destroyed the musket, an angry Spindu led the guards into the castle. He invited the chief warlock in order to embarrass Conrad, but he did not expect that this damn witch would dare to do such an extreme act.
.
The soldiers rushed forward, trampled out the candles on the ground, and overturned the altar of the gods. They beat the wizards crazily, including Alice. One soldier grabbed Alice's hair and slapped her several times with his bow.
After ten slaps, Spindu spat at Alice, gritted his teeth and said: "Arrogant
Witch, your death has come, do you know? I should have exposed your shameless lies long ago, so that Your Majesty will no longer be deceived by you. Now you tell me loudly, you are a liar, relying on charlatanism to deceive.
You are a liar, you speak loudly to me immediately, otherwise I will cut off your nose immediately!"
Alice looked at Spindu with red eyes. She tapped the floor gently with her palms. This was a signal she sent to other wizards, meaning to order them to fight back.
Spindu didn't notice Alice's hand, but saw Alice's stubborn eyes. He couldn't tolerate such a look. He smiled ferociously and said: "I changed my mind. It seems I shouldn't cut you off."
Nose, I should gouge out your eyes!"
Spindu asked the soldier to dig out Alice's eyes with a knife. As soon as the soldier pulled out the knife, he clutched his throat and fell to the ground.
Not only him, but all the soldiers fell to the ground one after another. Spindu also experienced abnormalities. He found that he had lost his breath. He wanted to call for help, but he felt something was blocking his throat.
Charco the Blocker, the wizard above the mountains, can block all passages within fifteen feet, including the human trachea.
The Prime Minister lay on the ground after losing his breath. He struggled to grab Alice's clothes and knelt on the ground to beg her for mercy.
Alice really wanted Spindu to suffocate to death, but Conrad arrived in time to stop her. After regaining her breath, Spindu asked the soldiers to arrest Alice immediately for trying to attack the Prime Minister and destroying important trophies.
.
Alice was far more ruthless than Spindu thought. Before Spindu could finish speaking, Alice immediately gave Charco the order to attack.
Spindu lost his breath again, and Charco let go of his poor windpipe until he was sure that he would not dare to continue provocation.
"My Lord Prime Minister, I'm really sorry for you," Conrad sighed, "Baron Windsor is fighting Reggie Victor, why did you come over to disrupt the ceremony?"
Spindu sneered and did not dare to speak. He originally wanted to ridicule Alice, but he was worried about losing his breath again.
"Baron Windsor has achieved success," Conrad said. "Reggie Victor just made a new weapon, but he was injured by the weapon. Now his life and death are unknown, and you rushed to destroy the ceremony.
Save Reggie Victor’s life?”
"This, this, I, of course I won't..." The shocked Spindu spoke incoherently, and even other wizards were stunned by the news.
Alice was also surprised, but she put on her hood calmly.
No matter how much shock and doubts there are, they must be kept in her heart at this moment. The only thing that is certain at the moment is that the gods heard her prayers.
