Chapter 663: Mask Theater (3)
The City Watch came quickly, of course.
In fact, just across the street from the Masquerade Theater is the City Watch's outpost, and it takes less than two or three minutes to walk through the alleys.
As for how to call the police, it's even simpler, there is indeed no phone in the wizarding world, but people have magic......
Communication, a small F-level spell, is very practical, because of its low grade, it can be easily enchanted on any item, such as necklaces, rings, and even masks. At best, it is not suitable for long-distance communication because of the different levels of mystical power and the different distances of contact. There was still no pressure to contact a post a street away.
There is no way for An Yizhi to do this, he can use the 'detection communication' to intercept and even intervene in the communication technique, but he can't completely block the magic communication in the area, which requires a special prophecy or enchantment spell to do.
But it doesn't matter.
Because, the arrival of the City Watch is not only in Ann Yizhi's plan, but also in the plan of the most important actors and audiences.
"Is everything set up?"
"Yes sir, as you command."
The spy from Canso City had a strange look on his face, but no one was paying attention to his face at this time, and all attention was on the red button he had reached out of his arms.
He handed the thing to Ann, who was about to press it down, but the man with the lion coat of arms next to him said:
"Sir, please give us the opportunity."
I'm sure a lot of people have already guessed their identities, and yes, these people are all from Naua.
Some are soldiers who have fallen unconscious or lost with their troops during the battle, some are 'walking dead' who have lost all their relatives and friends, and now even the city of Naua'a itself has been completely destroyed, and they have completely lost hope of survival.
The only thing that sustained them was the word 'revenge'.
In other words, these people are terrorists who are planning to come to Lopwen to carry out terrorist attacks.
They were discovered and approached by the agents of Canso, and in the spirit of 'the enemy of the enemy is the friend', the dead men were hidden in the port area by the agents until they seized the opportunity.
These people are full of paranoia and unreasonable, they don't take their own lives seriously, and they certainly don't take the lives of others seriously, especially the lives of the Lopwens.
They don't care if they are innocent or not, they just want the souls of the people of Naua who died in peace to rest.
I have to say that working with them is a very risky thing, and because there is no bottom line, it is not surprising that they will do anything, which means that they are a double-edged sword that is likely to hurt themselves.
Just as papyrus has its uses, so do terrorists, of course. Ann had only revealed to them that the 'total destruction of the city of Naua' had been the work of Julian Lopvan, and that it was part of the plan, and the group agreed to cooperate without hesitation.
"Of course, you have the right to take revenge on these people."
An Yizhi casually threw the button to him, and the latter was like holding a rare treasure, obviously it was just a button that was not much heavier than a cigarette case, but it made him feel like he couldn't hold it.
He looked at his firm-eyed companions around him, and everyone nodded silently, as if to say, we have been waiting for this moment for a long time.
A gritted tooth:
"For the two hundred thousand inhabitants of Naua!"
His companion chimed in: "
"For the Lionheart!"
The red button was pressed, and at the same moment there was a violent explosion from outside the theater. The man seemed to collapse, as if pressing a button had exhausted all his strength.
ββββββββββ
At the same timeβ
The City Watch is rushing from outposts on all sides, and as soon as they receive the information, they are cordoning off and emptying the area around the Masquerade Theater, and surround it.
But what next......
That's a bit of a dilemma.
The guests in the Masquerade Theater are all wearing masks and can't see their true faces, but in fact, they are all high-ranking officials of Lopwen, and at worst, they are also big businessmen and aristocrats with a net worth of hundreds of millions.
These men are thicker than a small captain of the guard, and if they make any mistakes, the consequences are unimaginable.
The so-called rat trap is like this, when the other party has a decisive hostage, it is equivalent to everyone in the guard team not daring to act rashly.
All they could do was to quickly send someone to find the high-ranking priest of the temple in the city, hoping that these stunned gods who fooled the common people could fool the bandits out.
- Anyway, this is probably an expert negotiator in the wizarding world, right?
His soldiers were busy dispersing the crowd of onlookers, setting up a cordon, and preparing to force their way in, even the miniaturized siege trucks were found and used to break through the elaborate mahogany gates of the Kamen Theater.
Compared to the busy dogs under his men, the faces of several captains of the guard team were gloomy as if they could drip water, and they almost didn't write the word 'fear' on their faces.
"Report!"
The soldier's voice broke the solemn atmosphere between several people, and the big-headed soldier was also stunned when he saw this situation, and hurriedly said the news:
"The bishops of the Church of Waujin and the Church of Tyre have gone to the cemetery outside the city, and there is no way to rush back for the time being......"
"Send a carriage to pick it up at once, no, send the fastest horse!"
"Yes!"
Bad news one after another, I have long heard that the cemetery outside the city has recently changed a little, but I didn't expect to be caught by bandits at this pass, could it be that the cemetery has something to do with them, right?
The captains were thinking about these things when they suddenly heard a muffled noise in the distance.
"Did you hear ......?"
Before he could finish his words, the muffled noise grew louder and closer!
- Boom!
The explosions went from far to near in a particular rhythm and sequence, apparently the result of careful calculations and arrangements.
Eventually, they saw the ground in front of the Kamen Theater bulge upwards and the manhole cover was pushed out and smashed into the opposite shop with a whoosh, causing the shopkeeper to let out a piercing scream.
But no one cared about him anymore, because with the flames and shock waves of the explosion came all sorts of mysterious liquids that had accumulated in the underground waterways......
Earthy yellow liquids, lumps, and small animal carcasses and even toilet paper flew into the sky like a fountain.
We all know that whatever flies up, it will eventually fall to the ground. Gravitation has made a meritorious service, Uncle Newton smiled Jiuquan......
And looking at all the strange things poured over their heads, the captains of the guard could only choose to close their eyes in despair.
The fountain mixed with fire and filth took away everyone's sight at this moment!
- This is probably 'staying before the fire', right?
ββββββββββ
At the same time, the cemetery outside the cityβ
The bishop of the Church of Tyre and the bishop of the Church of Waujin each arrived at the cemetery in a carriage with three priests, and they stood in front of the purification stone monument in front of the tomb.
At this time, in the eyes of this group of magic users, there seemed to be a thin layer of black mist shrouded above the tomb, and experienced priests knew that this was a precursor to the imminent formation of undead creatures in the tomb.
As for causes, this is a complex concept.
The density of free energy in the atmosphere is not static, just like the monsoon, sometimes the level of negative energy in a certain area increases dramatically, in fact, it is not a human evil, it is just a natural result.
It's just that this time the place where the negative energy level is relatively high is the cemetery outside the city of Lopwen.
Whatever the cause, the priest of Tyr knew at a glance that he couldn't wait any longer, or the further increase in negative energy levels would turn the dead in the graveyard into undead.
Then again, the description 'take a look' is not quite accurate.
Tyr is the god of justice, and claims that no evil can blind him.
But ironically, this god of justice is blind......
Not only blind, but also one-armed, so there are also slanderers who call him a crippled god.
Needless to say, Tyr is a god of great power, and his crippled body is a nightmare for all criminals and villains.
His priests were also jealous, believing that everything in the world should be governed by the law, and that the people of the 'chaotic' camp were the objects of their greatest disgust, and in some cases even more disgusted than the 'evil' itself.
Because this is the virtue of the gods, his priests are similar to the star-chasers, and they also learn the same thing. Some radical church members even kill themselves to imitate the gods of their faith.
However, the bishop of Tyre was not so radical, only wearing a black cloth over his eyes and a bracelet of different colors on his right hand to express his faith in the gods.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to see clearly with a black cloth on the eyes, let alone at night, but the priest of Tyr has the 'True Eye', a skill similar to the eye of the heart, which can not only replace the eye to see, but also see through the lies of a sophisticated fraudster, this is not an optical observation, but another level of ability.
"May all those who sleep here have eternal rest."
The two bishops held the Purification Stone Tablet and whispered.
Through the guidance of the priest, the powerful positive energy accumulated in the stele can be released smoothly and accurately cover the entire cemetery, without them, the purification stele is just a big stone.
Holy white light rose from outside the city, as if illuminating a night sky.
Bishop of Tyr wiped the sweat from his forehead, the last time he activated the Purification Stone Tablet was ten years ago, and now only ten years later, he already felt that he was powerless, and it was time to give way to someone more powerful.
With a faint sadness, he was about to withdraw his hand, when the light of teleportation suddenly lit up in his ears.
"What? The Kamen Theater has been hijacked by bandits!? β
Fairness and justice, fanatical guardians of the law, the priests of Tyre will never allow such a vicious crime to exist!
He immediately decided to return immediately, but the next moment he saw that the positive energy that had been flickering over the cemetery seemed to suddenly reverse color, turning from white to black, and finally turning into a gray black mist that went deep into the tomb.
"Tyre is on top! This ..... this impossible! β
Amazed at how positive energy was transformed into negative energy, the clergy heard a deep roar from the tomb.
That's right, it's the roar of the undead.
