Chapter 1672 Breaking through the door in the burning night sky
Elichar at night has become a boiling city that never sleeps. The sound of killing and war have painted a ray of red on the dark night sky, as if the sky is burning.
The rule of the State of Emergency Committee is like this night sky, and is also burning, and is about to turn into ashes little by little.
However, Marshal Menthus, the highest military commander of the State of Emergency Committee, turned a blind eye to him. He rode the wind through the Dongcheng District, which was shockingly killed, crossed the Cross Star Avenue, and ignored the rebuilt blue palace in the square, and went directly to the wealthy area southwest of the city.
There is his home and his lover there.
However, when he was only a few kilometers away from his warm home, he stopped, sighed heavily, and then looked at a tall tower a hundred meters away from him. On the top of the tower, an old monk stood in a robe in his robe, like a statue that had been standing there for a long time.
The old master did not look at him, but Mencius understood that it would be too unpretentious and undecent to leave at this time if he had never seen anyone.
"Principal." Kyle Mencius, the chief of the Central Academy of Magic forty years ago, bowed his head to the old man.
"I'm back, Kyle." Palon Avalam, who had been the principal of the Central Magic Academy for almost half a century, nodded slightly and replied. At first glance, he really thought it was a greeting between old friends.
"Have to go back."
"That's why I'm waiting for you here."
"So, are you going to fight me here?"
"It depends on what you want to do. Or, we're just chatting here and doing nothing, so we don't have to fight. I've never been good at fighting, you know."
"Sorry, but I have to go back to my family now."
"Is that right... I'm sorry, my duty is to let you not go anywhere. Since that's the case, let's witness the arrival of the new era with me."
Mencius was amused and crying. His so-called "returning to the family" refers to the wife and children, but the old principal would definitely understand it as "the family is the family and the family." However, he could not defend himself now. When he had to become a core member of the State of Emergency Committee because of his family, he had already lost the qualification to defend himself.
Mencius couldn't say anything like "You are so old and not good at fighting. I have the ancient lord battle flag in my hand. You are no match for me at all." When an old man who is about to celebrate his 100th birthday is as full of fighting spirit as a teenager, he can't help but be respectful and feel sad. Men are teenagers until they die, and only men will understand such romance.
So, the old man and the older man activated the magic at the same time. The impact of vigorous energy shocked the sky with a huge roar. The shock wave spread along with the wave of ripples. A large number of houses in the rich area were impacted on the spot. The glass windows, tiles, street lights and crackled all over the ground, and suddenly there was a burst of scattering and howling.
Alantis Naxis, who was walking secretly past the walls and shadows as close as possible, was almost smashed by the falling street light. Fortunately, he was still quite alert and his methods were extraordinary. Finally, he stepped on a cat's elegance at the critical moment, and cut a few steps lightly and sensitively. The street light smashed the floor tiles where Alan was originally located. He sighed with lingering fear, then looked up at the two old mages who had already fought in the night sky and were fighting to the darkness. He hesitated for a moment, but in the end he did not choose to go over and help.
On the one hand, it was a magic war of that level. He didn't think that he could have any decisive effect after helping him over. On the other hand, like Marshal Mensus, he was also a married person with family, and had many kinds of bonds and concerns. So, after the siege of Dugu Castle was completely relieved, he was not with Carol and the others, but secretly left the large army and rushed to Xiafei Mansion in Nancheng.
Carol and Irovere are both excellent officers, and the great Ms. Coresel looked at it. It was not a big problem whether I was there or not. Compared to this, Lis should need me more now. Of course, if no one except herself could lead those students, Alan would also suppress her longing for her wife and gritted her teeth to finish the war first.
He is such a person full of responsibility and positive energy, otherwise he would not have become an excellent bureaucrat and was deeply trusted by his mentor.
However, there are gains and losses. After graduation, he devoted almost all his energy to the study and handling of various government affairs. His more reliable practical experience can even be traced back to his student days, so he naturally could not become a combat-type spellcaster who was particularly good at fighting.
But it doesn't matter. Although he is not good at opening films, he majored in change studies. It is normal to disguise himself as a trash can or walk silently in the corners of the street like a cat, and there are still ways to hide himself from moving quickly. The person responsible for the public security of the wealthy areas of the Nancheng City is naturally the elite of the garrison army, but after all, he is an ordinary person. If he is really discovered by the other party, he must have obtained the three stars by bribing the examiner. How could our representative of the backbone of the Qingliu School do such a thing?
What really made him feel a little tricky was the few black-robed mages patrolling here. Alan knew that those should be the legendary "Death Eaters" and the killer mages of the aristocratic clans. I heard that the Field Hall was also completely destroyed by these cruel and ruthless lackeys, and if Sexiliu and the others had not arrived in time, he would have become the prey of these black dogs.
Alantis did seriously consider whether to kill a few black dogs and avenge his comrades in the Field Office, but after thinking about it for a second, he thought it would be better to retreat quickly.
I am a civil servant and I am really not good at fighting. Alan told herself.
Fortunately, the war in Dongcheng, the shouts of the academy area, and the fierce fighting between the two great magicians in the sky attracted the attention of these Death Eaters nearby. Alan finally arrived at Haimingya Street where he was, and could even see the conspicuous red eaves of his house - it was designed by his wife Lis himself.
His emotions were quite complicated at this time, full of longing, expectation, excitement, and even a little nervousness that he could not understand. Looking at his small home, which he had not returned for several months, he was afraid to pass. However, all the above emotions disappeared, turning into panic and awe, thinking that he had seen the open door of the home.
Now is an extraordinary moment. No matter how good the public security in the wealthy area is, there is no saying that you will not close your home in the middle of the night!
Had the thief entered? Or something else happened? Alan wanted to rush over immediately, but the more he was at this moment, he calmed down, took a few deep breaths, and gave himself a cat elegance, slowly approaching the wall and approaching the gate of the courtyard, holding onto the staff, and preparing a land bursting technique - this was the most lethal attack magic he had. When he was about to enter the courtyard, three people came out of the room first.
A middle-aged uncle who was over forty-five years old, a young girl under thirty, and a strong mixed-race orc were all light and easy to wear plain clothes. Regardless of the orcs and girls, Alan always felt that she had seen the middle-aged uncle in the lead.
"That's why I said, Captain, Lu... that adult army may come at any time. Our time is limited and we cannot cause trouble at all." The young girl was full of dissatisfaction and kept complaining when she left the room.
"But General Dembole also said that what we will take in later is an epic journey that has never been seen in history, and it requires enough supplies. In addition to water-filling weapons, valuable things are also on the other hand. By this calculation, gold coins are not as valuable as these antique crafts. In my hand, this statue of Boranti's green corundum galloping horse. When I passed by the sea of fallen stars and the ocean of sunset, if I could get Mirabex for sale, I might be able to exchange it for food for more than three months in the entire army."
Alan quickly recognized that the statue of the corundum galloping horse in his hand was one of his wife Lis' favorite items. Of course, he always thought it was just a fake. However, no matter what, these guys were all broken robbers, and Yazi, who didn't look very strong.
Alantis rushed out, and first a wave of air ripples hit the face of the strongest orc who looked like he was. Another flashing shot of the other two people screamed for a moment, and then they quickly took out the alchemy rope from their magic tactical pockets and used the activation technique to activate it and throw it over.
The activation rope tied the three of them a strong one. Before the middle-aged man's jade statue fell to the ground, it was snatched back by Alan with the Arcane's hand. The latter took a step forward and stepped on the middle-aged man's chest, whispering: "Who are you? Where are the masters here? Talk!"
"No, don't, if you have something to say, we... we are not thieves!" The middle-aged uncle in the lead immediately began to raise his hand and beg for mercy with an instinctive reaction. When he saw Alan's staff approaching his throat, the sharpness of the magic weapon had even cut open the skin, and in an instant, he squeezed out a simple, pitiful, aggrieved and helpless old face on his face, and said wailingly: "We are really not bad people!"
"Yes, yes, this uncle is hard to say, but I am really not a bad person. I have always opposed them when they did this at the beginning." The woman kept exposing herself.
"Shut up! Say one by one." Alan shouted softly.
The middle-aged uncle and the young girl turned their eyes, and they both confirmed that although the person in front of her had good magic skills, she had little experience and should have a good character. Otherwise, she should have a slap in the face or even more ruthless when she said "shut up".
The middle-aged uncle began to organize the language; the girl closed her mouth and felt safe; as for the orc, she had completely fainted after being hit by that moment, of course, it was really hard to say whether she had really lost consciousness.
"Tell me, who are you? Where is the owner of this family? What did you do to her?"
At this time, the uncle finally recognized the other party through the light and hurriedly said, "Ah? Lord Arantis, is it Lord Arantis? It's me, Planck! Your loyal friend, the old boatman Planck, is it too! You visited you last time in June, don't you remember?"
Alantis finally extracted memories of the other person from a cell in a gully in the cerebral cortex.
In June, when the coup and civil war had not begun, I just became the director of shipping affairs. It seemed that someone had visited me with luxurious silver tableware, and even claimed to be "Master Lu Xi's old friend, so you are also a good friend to Master Alan."
Of course, the gift was not received, but it was not driven out. Alantis understood that what he did was a normal operation of the federal merchants, and Captain Planck was a passenger captain who served in the navy and has now started to operate the transport ship. He has some connections in various countries and has good abilities. He is still very happy to communicate with the other party with such an excellent sailor. The two had a great conversation and had an in-depth exchange of opinions on the rectification of federal shipping and air trade. In addition, he praised the jade horse and expressed his great admiration for the wife's taste.
"So, because of this, did you hurt my wife and seize her collection when I was not at home?" Alantis was furious and raised the staff in his hand to condense the magic weapon into a stand-alone sword. He was about to cut the other party to death, but then he heard the other party shout: "No, no, no, no, your wife is not at home! There is no one in your house."
"No, no one?" Alan was stunned.
"Yes, there is no one. All this greedy uncle said that it is a masterless thing anyway, so it is better to take it as military funds. Even if Lord Alan finds out in the future, he will understand me. These are all his words!" The young girl hurriedly added: "I have been stopping him all the time. You can't wrongly accuse a good person!"
"So I'm not at home? But, if she is not at home, where can she, a weak woman, go? Was she hiding when she goes back to her parents' home? Is it necessary to go to Anlirui County?" Alan let go a little bit, but the doubts in her heart became even more intense. Looking at the guys who broke into the air in front of her, she was even more angry and said sternly: "So, what's going on? Why are you here? Hurry up, start over!"
Captain Planck exchanged a glance with the young girl, his first mate, Miss Fantine, and complained secretly.
Their current boss, Dunboree Dandylan, has actually arrived near Orso, and has been hiding in the Red Pearl Island chain in the northwest of the Tian District, carefully observing everything here. The main force of his fellow disciple Marshal Sius would naturally not dare. Only by plundering the nearby farms, Muyuan and wild animals can he barely maintain the life of more than 10,000 people.
The broken ships of the aristocratic clans were really amazing, so the legendary expedition to the New World over the Sunset Ocean was put on everyone's agenda. However, the supplies in their hands were really impossible to last for so long. We must try our best to collect materials. People like Planck, who are deeply connected, well-informed, and seem to have some friendship with all parties, and are not very conspicuous, were sent to Elichar City to see if they could collect some information.
However, before going out again, Major General Gazet, the deputy commander, grabbed Captain Planck, hesitated for a moment, and then said embarrassedly: "... In addition, uh, I really want to cause trouble for you, Captain. I have a private house in Hemingya District, where some of my private treasures are there. From now on, this Federation will probably not be able to come back. We will give up everything here, but only those are something I really cannot give up! In short, Captain, I hope you will take a little detour and take a look there. Right. The treasures I have grasped are brought back. I swear by my magic name and I will definitely work hard to repay you in the future."
It seems that those treasures are really important to the deputy commander. However, considering that General Gazet will be our group of refugees in the future... no, the second leader of the Expeditionary Force has been unshakable for a long time, his favors are of course very valuable.
However, he really didn't expect that Alantis' new home after marriage was also in this neighborhood, and even there were only two or three small buildings across Gazet's private house. It seems that few people know about General Gazet's private residence. He didn't come back much and almost never met his neighbors. Otherwise, Russell's disciples and his right-hand man were neighbors and the Violet's cousin, which was enough to be a hot spot for social news.
In short, Captain Planck and his group passed by here, and after taking out Gazet's collection, they saw the Xiafei Mansion of Alan's family. This small building with a very warm and elegant design is dark and quiet during the holidays, and weeds in the garden are growing, and it is obvious that no one has lived in it for at least two months.
The galloping horse with green corundum looks like a genuine product! It is definitely the work of Boranti, a sculpture master from Auckland during the Warring States Period in his later years. I remember that Mirabex, among the Four Kingdoms of Thousand Islands, has recently become popular with the heroic artworks of Auckland during the Warring States Period. Taking the statue over and selling it can definitely exchange for a large amount of military supplies, and the food and food expeditions to the New World is enough.
Captain Planck had these thoughts in one thought, and then everything that happened next.
But, how do I say these things?
Captain Planck's face was bitter.
That's why you don't want to make trouble!
Miss Fanting's face was full of grief.
The orc sailor continued to "dissipate".
"Speak quickly!" Alan shouted in a low voice.
Just as the captain gave up all his fantasies and wanted to tell the truth, he heard a deafening "Ao Woo!" at the entrance of the garden, and then a huge and fat body rushed in with a heavy but flexible and agile speed, hitting Alan's body... No, to be precise, it was on the back of his head.
Alan really lacks practical experience. He probably focused on the "robber who broke into the air gate". At the same time, he activated the activation rope and the stand sword, which did exhaust almost all his mental power, completely ignoring the possible dangers around him. At this moment, he was caught off guard and was smashed forward. His eyes were as if they were bigger than his eye sockets. His eyelids then flipped, and then he fainted on the spot.
Captain Planck and Miss Fantin, the Orc sailors who had just woken up, looked at each other, but shrank tighter. Since the caster fainted, the activation rope on their bodies was of course untied. However, at this time, they did not even dare to breathe even if they were trembling.
Chapter completed!
