261 Ambush

After the carriage finally drove into the city gate, Lawrence couldn't restrain his inner curiosity and asked the judge sitting opposite him: "I just saw that the soothsayer seemed to have failed in divination. Why did the investigation team fail at the end?"

Thank me. They probably didn't get any information."

"Sometimes no information is the most important information." The judge opposite showed a profound smile. "You must know that there is only one way to make divination invalid or even backfire on the diviner, and that is for the divination target to have sufficient defense.

But not many people can have this kind of defense at all times and use this kind of luxurious textiles."

"So that's it." Lawrence nodded. Even though this is the capital of the empire, Wendobona, there are a large number of nobles living in this city. But he knows that people who can meet the above two prerequisites here should also

It will not exceed three digits. After all, it is impossible for ordinary people to carry around a divine earth soul to help cover it up all the time like themselves. It is also impossible to have extraordinary props that can provide this kind of effect.

"But it's troublesome enough now." The judge opposite Lawrence said, "After all, the current situation shows that some evil supernatural powers played an important role in this incident. If you consider that you just found

The clues that came out, I'm worried about-"

Although the inquisitor did not say it out loud, Lawrence also knew what he was worried about. After all, once the evil supernatural power is mixed with a certain part of the ruling class, it will be more difficult for these evil forces to eradicate than

It was much bigger before.

For example, several of the neighboring countries to the east and south of the Holy Visby Empire are puppet states with human populations as the mainstay established with the support of wilderness forces. After evil forces control these countries from behind the scenes, these countries have considerable strength.

.Now basically every year the empire will have conflicts with them on the border.

"I think it won't be the worst outcome." Lawrence shook his head and comforted the young judge sitting opposite, "otherwise, the parties wouldn't have sent out such an elite team to investigate such a case this time.

It happened. But——"

At this point, Lawrence suddenly stopped speaking because he suddenly felt something staring at him. But strangely, when he released the phantoms of the Fire Venomous Bee and the Stinging Hummingbird and left the carriage to check, he discovered

Everything around them was normal, and no one was watching them.

"What do you think is going on around here?" The inquisitor was first startled by Lawrence's sudden spell casting, and even reached for the weapon on his waist. However, he soon discovered that Lawrence cast the spell to investigate the surrounding situation.

"I don't know." Lawrence shook his head, "I can feel that someone has been staring at us since we came out of the cemetery, but after investigating just now, I didn't find any suspicious people around."

"I think your feeling may not be wrong. The reason why we didn't find the stalker is probably because we didn't find it." The inquisitor, who had experienced a lot of actual combat, seemed more nervous than Lawrence himself. He immediately ordered the carriage to slow down, and then took out a drawing

The stone with runes was crushed violently.

"It's not a bad thing to appear a little neurotic sometimes. After all, one experience I have gained after working in this industry for several years is that in many cases, just a small change in the surrounding environment may be a precursor to an attack. So now I

The Tribunal’s Operations Team personnel need to be notified.”

After sending the signal using a special method within the tribunal, the judge explained to Lawrence, "And before I set off this time, my boss reminded me that you are likely to be attacked by a new round, so let me once

If you find anything wrong, call for support immediately. Even if it is a false alarm and the manpower is used in vain, it is acceptable."

"I think there should be real danger waiting for us this time." Lawrence took this opportunity to take out a few coins for divination and then looked at the divination results and said, "The ability of my bloodline allowed me to predict it.

Danger ahead.”

The judge did not have any objection to what Lawrence said. After all, the powers of a warlock's bloodline awakening can be said to be diverse. Although such precognitive abilities are not many, they are definitely not uncommon.

Therefore, Lawrence and the others immediately prepared for the possible battle. Next to Lawrence, there was a small doll with heterochromatic eyes sitting there obediently. The judge and the coachman of the tribunal also placed their weapons at the top.

A convenient place. Although the carriage still followed the planned route, the speed was much slower than at the beginning.

Just as Lawrence and the others slowed down the carriage and drove forward slowly, in a dilapidated residential building in front of them, a group of masked people wearing various costumes were hiding behind the windows and discussing in low voices.

"Have that little guy and the lackeys of the Inquisition arrived?" A guy wearing a black chest plate who looked like a leader asked a man wearing gray clothing and a matte black metal mask on his face. "Up.

The group of people we went to the New World last time actually failed, and we must not fail again this time."

"They are almost here, and they have already appeared at the previous intersection." At this moment, a sparrow's cry came over. The man with a metal mask on his face showed a relaxed expression after hearing the sparrow's cry.

The expression said, "After all, the distance from the cemetery is not very close, and there is a city gate to pass in the middle. And it happens to be off-duty time. So it is normal for the carriage to be a few minutes later than we expected."

"That's good." The leader of the black-armored warrior nodded, "The last failure in the New World was purely due to some serious loopholes in our intelligence, but what is good is that this time we have

I know the opponent's true strength and made targeted arrangements. He is definitely dead this time."

"Don't be careless. The higher-ups said that even if our intelligence was wrong last time, the fact that all the people we sent disappeared shows that the other party's level is not average, not to mention that we are in the urban area of ​​Wendobona this time.

When operating within the city walls, there are a large number of churches and various organizations that may intervene, leaving us not much time to act," a masked man wearing a black windbreaker reminded.

"It doesn't matter, we prepared a forbidden magic zone on the way, and also prepared a lot of explosives. After the explosion, we started the magic interference array assault. Even if the explosion couldn't kill him, our subsequent assault can make him, a spell caster, lose his ability to cast spells.

He will fight us under certain circumstances. Hum, we have several physics professionals here, and he is definitely dead this time..."

These ambushers all seemed very confident about the upcoming battle. Only the man in the trench coat who had warned him just now frowned. After discovering that the carriage did not arrive as scheduled, he felt a little uneasy. But he was never caught.

Where does this uneasiness come from.

At this moment, the carriage appeared at the intersection of this path, and the attackers who were still discussing just now fell silent. Only the leading black-armored warrior was left, and he lowered his voice and said: "Those attackers at the window

If you step back a little further, people below will be able to see you."

Then he turned to a young woman next to him and shouted: "Blood Rose, the next step is up to you. Remember to slow down the other party's carriage."

"No problem." The young woman, who was dressed up like an ordinary worker woman, picked up a doll wrapped in swaddling clothes, and then nodded to the black-armored warrior.

But at this moment, a shrill cry suddenly came from the mouth of the person investigating upstairs. "The other party suddenly accelerated and rushed towards us."
