The three drunk women who were tightly entangled by the tentacles of the astral body had their eyes turned white and salivation at the corners of their mouths. It was unclear whether they had fallen into a fascinating dream or had lost all their sanity.
In the shadow of the alley, Nelem stared at Fenbyron's newly promoted female assistant with a fierce expression. Xuan Weizi leaned against the wall, flipping through the crystal spell book in his hand.
There are words in his mouth:
"The undead rot sac...necrotic curse...the circulation of negative energy...can spread through water and air...haha, interesting..."
Xuan Weizi and Nelem, who came out of the safe house, have already begun to make various arrangements. Whether it is rune traps, command alchemy mines, or spying on some people who are dissatisfied with the Imperial Legion and Fusman, and send anonymous letters
To test the other party's attitude.
In short, what Xuan Weizi and Nelem did was to contact as many people as possible. The Imperial Legion ran rampant in Huowu City and did a lot of robberies in the name of search. Although Fusman and Finn Byron both
An order was issued to prohibit it, but many people still suffered losses, not to mention that most of them were Nelem's former subordinates and had nowhere to redress their grievances at the moment.
Of course, Nelem did not dare to look for his mistresses and children. Just like Canned Can Street, all those mistresses and children were imprisoned and strictly controlled. It was clearly a trap to lure Nelem to show up.
By chance, when Nelem and Xuan Weizi were preparing to return to the safe house under cover of night, they bumped into the three drunk women, one of whom was the female mage who attacked Nelem in bed.
Nelum hated this female mage deeply, and together with Xuan Weizi, they ambush the three people in the alley.
"Needle" searched their memories and learned that this female mage was a spy carefully selected and trained by Finn Byron and placed next to Nelem.
"She seems to still have a crush on Fen Byron, but it's a pity that he rejected her." Xuan Weizi said in a nonchalant manner. His astral tentacles inserted into the ears of the three women and extended to the brains inside their skulls, as if searching in the vast ocean.
Memory disrupted the nerve information in the brain, causing the bodies of the three women to twitch and shake, causing them to become incontinent.
Seeing that the three women were about to scream, Xuan Weizi raised his eyebrows. Without moving his eyes away from the crystal spell book, the thick and long astral tentacles directly penetrated into their mouths, leaving only a trace of whimpering.
"Bah!" Nelum scolded: "Finn Byron is Fusman's favorite, how could he like this bitch? She deserves it!"
Xuan Weizi said: "Finn Byron is Fusman's important staff, it's best to find an opportunity to get rid of him."
Nelum shook his head and said: "He usually hides in the Governor's Mansion. Even if he comes out, there will definitely be a group of people guarding him covertly. It will be difficult to kill him quietly."
"Indeed, he must also know what kind of environment he can protect himself in." Xuan Weizi pondered.
Since there are individuals with powerful power in this world, the flow of material wealth and the form of organizational structure also tend to be concentrated towards powerful individuals. Therefore, in an organization or group of a certain size, a powerful individual acts as a leader or implicit leader.
, once an accident or crisis occurs, it will be transmitted to the entire organization and group.
In Xuan Weizi's view, this organizational form has its own laws and background. As a powerful individual with dual concentration of material wealth and organizational power, it is not only the stable foundation supporting the organizational form, but also the source of its vulnerability.
If there is a way to eliminate the powerful individuals of the organization, even if the organization does not collapse, it will become incapacitated, disordered, and difficult to coordinate. It is like the Fire Dance City that lost Nelem. Although there are still other high mages here,
Facing the Imperial Legion, it was impossible to form an effective confrontation and fell in an instant.
Xuanweizi had two rounds of exchanges with Fen Byron and found that this person not only questioned the common organizational form today, but also tried to build a new organizational form. It can even be said that Fen Byron and Fen Byron
Forsman and his colleagues are trying to verify this new organizational form.
But just like any organizational form, it itself requires corresponding material foundation and environmental conditions. If Fenbairon wants to break through the organizational form's over-reliance on powerful individuals, he must also find a new material foundation.
Whether it is a highly popular communication item or a psychic ability that can connect everyone's minds, it can be seen that Fenbyron is by no means an unfounded fantasy, but must actually find a feasible direction.
"Tsk, tsk, if such a person is not used by me, he will only die~" Xuan Weizi began to cherish his talents. Compared with the "Son of the Flame Demon" Fusman's arcane "accomplishments" that frequently set fire to mountains.
, he hopes that Finn Byron's talent and wisdom can be used for himself.
Nelem didn't know what Xuan Weizi was thinking. Looking at the female mage who betrayed him, he wanted to cut her into pieces.
"Doctor Olenso, can't you use your astral body to transform into an animal?" Nelum suddenly turned around and asked, "Can you transform into a stallion?"
"Uh... no problem." Xuan Weizi blinked and glanced at the female mage: "What are you planning to do? Aren't you going to kill her yourself?"
Nelum was furious: "Such a dirty bitch makes me sick to my stomach when I see her! Let the stallion do it and fuck her to death!"
Xuan Weizi narrowed his eyes and persuaded: "Your Excellency Master Nelem, I hope you can understand our current situation. After all, she is the person next to Fen Byron. Now I can still hide the truth by forging memories, but if she
If you really die, not only will it be useless to recapture Huowu City, but it will also attract unnecessary attention."
Moreover, Xuan Weizi also has a conjecture in his mind, that is, if the two of them hide for too long and do not appear, Fusman and Fenbairon will definitely take some extreme measures to force them to appear. Although the Lingtai prophet is not inevitable, it must be true.
Following Nelem's approach will definitely lead to this result.
"No, this is declaring war on them!" Nelum said: "Doctor, didn't you say that Fusman has sent people to Greenwater Town to capture my two sons? This is reciprocal revenge... No!
They have already taken advantage. If we don't respond or take any further actions, both inside and outside Huowu City will feel that we cannot defeat Fusman, and the wavering crowd will only succumb to Fusman and his legion!"
Xuan Weizi looked at Nelem's passionate expression, and he understood, and said: "There is a group of people in Huowu City who are wavering, waiting for us to take action. Even your former subordinates, if they did not see the situation happening,
No one dares to make a move during the transformation. Someone really needs to take action first... But do you really plan to use these women as a deterrent? My preparations in the sewers have been completed, and there are now a large number of legionnaires searching the sewers."
"Can we cooperate?" Nelum rubbed his palms.
Xuan Weizi was silent for a while and said with a deep meaning: "Since you are so determined, then I can help."
…
"What?! You said the civilians in the city are also suffering from the plague?!"
In the Governor's Mansion, Fenbyron smashed his desk and yelled at the officer in front of him: "What's going on?! Didn't I tell you to strictly control the flow of people?!"
"Acting Governor, it's like this... We found that the plague among the civilians in the city was not infected by our soldiers. Most of them have never been near the garrison castle." An alchemist replied.
Finn Byron put his hands on the table and asked: "Are you saying that someone is actively spreading the plague?"
"This... I'm not sure. After some research, a mage found that this plague is the result of the overlapping of multiple necromancy spells, including the 'necrotic curse'. That is, it is..." The alchemist did not
I dare to say it.
Fen Byron's face froze, and he couldn't help but answered: "Disaster of the undead?"
Seeing the other party nodding, Fenbyron felt unbelievable. Although his arcane achievements were very superficial, he had done in-depth research on history. The undead disaster before the Great Londinium Empire was notorious, but
Created the necromancy of later generations.
Contemporary necromancy spells had already begun to take shape at that time, and were even vaguely independent of the arcane system. One of the spells called the "Necrotic Curse" accompanied the army of the dead and became a plague that spread wantonly. It was affected by the "Necrotic Curse"
People cannot be cured by the miraculous treatment of positive energy, and their wounds and internal organs will gradually decay.
"Have you used 'Remove Curse'?" Finn Byron asked in a deep voice.
"It was used, but it only alleviated the deterioration of the disease." The alchemist said with concern: "And there are many people suffering from the disease, and our reserve of 'removing the curse' is not enough."
"There is still a batch from the Tower of Pentagram." Finn Byron immediately wrote a permission slip, threw it to the other party and said: "Go to the warehouse to get it immediately, and prioritize the health of the soldiers!"
The alchemist took the permission, turned around and rushed out of the office.
Before Finn Byron could calm down, he received a message from Forsman: "Come out and take a look, something happened."
Finn Byron did not hesitate and ran out of the Governor's Mansion quickly. On the edge of the central square directly opposite the gate, there were more than a dozen people gathered under a street lamp. When he got closer, he discovered that three female corpses were hanging from the street lamp.
All three female corpses had only torn strands of clothing left on them, and they had obviously been brutally raped and tortured before their deaths. Their faces had expressions of horror and pain, and there were large bruises on their bodies, on their lower bodies, and at the corners of their mouths.
There were signs of serious tearing, and there was a strong smell of alcohol coming from their bodies, making it difficult to imagine what they had experienced during their lifetimes.
Finn Byron didn't react for a moment, but just walked closer blankly, and the crowd around him kept moving away, until Forsman turned around and said, "Isn't the person in the middle your new assistant?"
"How could it be...how could it be her?" Finn Byron suddenly felt the soft and undulating ground under his feet, his vision suddenly changed from black to white, and the piercing sound in his ears almost blocked his hearing.
The friendship between former classmates, the victory or defeat in the martial arts contest, the pursuit of traveling to the New World, and the feelings buried deep in each other's hearts. At this moment, they all turned into the tragic death in front of me. In the end, the unwillingness and sorrow,
The indifferent look flashed through Finn Byron's mind, almost causing him to faint.
Fusman's face was heavy, and he held down Finn Byron's shoulders. I don't know whether it was to support him or to warn him, and heard him whisper: "Only that old pervert Nelem can do this kind of thing. Two mice
Finally showed up! They are declaring war on us!"
Fen Byron lowered his head and asked confusedly: "Were they hung here and no one discovered them?"
Fusman said: "The corpse was covered by illusion. Someone discovered that there was an illusion aura here. They removed it and found the body. It should have been hanged not long ago... Teleportation is not allowed in the city now. I have sent people to search the area.
"
Finn Byron woke up immediately. When he looked up again, his eyes were as red as blood, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. He looked at the tragic death of the female assistant, clenched his fists tightly, and roared in his heart:
"Concentrate, think, think quickly! She left the Governor's Mansion after her shift last night. She smelled of alcohol and must have gone to drink. In other words, she must have been ambushed on the ground. Nelem and Olenso
Have you left the sewer? Even if you leave the sewer, there is no need to do anything to her. Even if it is for revenge, you can just dump her body in an uninhabited corner. Why take the risk of hanging her body at the door of the Governor's Mansion?
There must be some purpose in doing this! To shock? To provoke? Nelem may do it out of revenge, but that doctor Olenso has nothing to do with it, so why? Can't teleport, can't teleport... Sewer
,sewer……"
Finn Byron's eyes turned sharply. He vaguely grasped an opportunity, immediately took out the communication wand, and roared an order: "All legionnaires in the sewers, evacuate immediately! I repeat, evacuate immediately!!"
"What? They have an ambush in the sewers?" Forsman asked immediately.
Not long after he finished speaking, a sound like tearing cloth was heard in the distance. Everyone present looked around in shock. Forsman even stamped his feet and flew directly into the air.
Looking around, several wide streets in the outer city suddenly collapsed and sank, affecting several surrounding buildings, as if they encountered a subsidence and collapsed!
As for the legionnaires who had received the summons, they were about to leave the sewer when a series of cracking sounds were heard above their heads. They swarmed towards the sewer exit and saw a glimmer of light in the distance, with tens of thousands of pounds of masonry above their heads.
The soil collapsed directly!
Regardless of whether you have "Mage Armor" or "Stoneskin", you will be crushed to pieces even if you are hit by a huge force. No matter how fast you run like a horse or fly by at a high speed, you will still be crushed into a pulp without teleportation!
For a time, the house collapsed, bricks and stones flew everywhere, smoke and dust rose into the sky, and violent vibrations spread throughout Huowu City.
The rising smoke and dust instantly enveloped the surrounding streets, and screams, cries, and wails could be heard endlessly. Passers-by were covered in dust, injured people with bloody heads, and poor people half-buried in the rubble... all kinds of things here
, to them, it is like a tragic scene of doomsday.
…
"Woo! So cool! So happy!" Nelum stood by the hotel window, seeing the flying dust, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Dr. Olenso, how did you make such a big noise with some peas? I didn't
Did you notice very strong spell fluctuations?"
Xuan Weizi said expressionlessly: "Those magic peas can absorb nutrients by themselves and grow into magic vines, destroying the underground structure and making it fragile. Finally, if more destructive force is applied, it will naturally cause large sewers to collapse."
Those mice holding the magic peas in their mouths actually also stored the power of psychic powers. They used the gaps dug by the growth of magic vines to carry out precise destruction like fortification blasting, immediately causing the collapse of large sewers.
But even so, Xuan Weizi could only cause a small part of the sewers in Huowu City to collapse, and it was also accurate enough that the legionnaires fled to the sewer exits to detonate them, ensuring a large number of casualties. If the magic vines were planted on the ground, they would not be able to do so.
causing casualties of the same magnitude.
Originally, Xuanweizi only wanted to blow up the sewers to bury the legionnaires who entered them, but the blasting effect affected many residential buildings on the ground.
"It's so cool!" Nelem didn't care about the life and death of other people. He looked like he had succeeded in revenge and said with excitement: "Let them restrict teleportation throughout the city. Without teleportation spells, these soldiers will only be buried alive! This is
After losing so many soldiers, I wonder how crazy Fusman is!"
Xuan Weizi glanced at the other party without saying a word.
