It rained heavily all night, and only the transparent shell of Childe Auditorium, a century-old aristocratic building, was left in the baptism of fire and explosion.
City Lord Edwards, General Mogan and Chief Lachios, who had not appeared at the dinner, arrived at the fire scene around nine o'clock. General Mogan and Lachios kept whispering something. On the other side, Catalina was there.
After sending the seriously injured George to the military hospital, Edwards has been responsible for commanding George's cronies on the front line. With a gloomy face, Edwards brought two members of the escort and Baron Cali to Catalina to express his most sincere greetings. Edwards
After the pretense was over, he asked the people around him to step back. He held the umbrella of his confidant and approached Catalina, who was not holding an umbrella. After getting close to Catalina, he said threateningly in her ear: "You told the escort that I had
Danger? Let them follow me every step of the way?"
Catalina was not afraid of the viciousness in Edwards' words at all, and looked directly into Edwards' eyes with neither humility nor condescension: "My husband, General George, said that such a terrible attack must be directed at the city lord. Should I inform the escort to find you for protection?"
Did I do something wrong? Or does Mr. Edwards feel inconvenienced? "
Edwards laughed angrily: "Then thank General George's wife for your concern. It seems that General George will not be able to go to the Eastern Continent in a short time. I hope he can take a good rest and return to the army as soon as possible, Mr. Cali!" The next sentence
This was what Edwards said to Baron Cali. After Baron Cali separated from Boccario, he found Edwards who was protected by layers of guards not far from the auditorium. He was surprised that Edwards was being guarded by guards.
In his impression, Edwards always acted with his cronies and with the minimum number of people, but then Baron Calley saw from Edwards's expression that this was not what he wanted.
"Lord City Lord, what are your orders?" Baron Cali stepped forward holding an umbrella with a faint smile. He had considered the matter of being an internal agent before. He could arrange explosives in the Childe Auditorium. Such an identity as an internal agent must not be simple. Cali
The Baron's first reaction was to chat with Edwards, but now that everyone was making excuses, Baron Cali also put away his thoughts, straightened up his appearance and waited for Edwards to continue speaking.
"Inform all members of the House of Lords to hold a meeting in the conference room of the City Lord's Mansion in two hours. After Lin and Bocario let them rest, they will either send someone who can speak or do it themselves. Regarding the explosion time of General George's wedding banquet tonight, we
I need to have a good talk with His Excellency the Warchief about the orc who attacked the auditorium."
...
In addition to the nine representatives of the upper chamber, the meeting was attended by Baron Cali. Lin from the law enforcement team was present in person due to a slight injury. The eagle team of the Arbitration Institute, Porcario, was seriously injured. Rastel's life and death were unknown, so the dog team had to be sent.
Captain Jos came to attend the meeting. The military representatives were General Mogan and his staff officers. Brighton City had Edwards, his close assistant, and the orcs had the war chief Lachios and the rhinoceros tribe.
Clan leader Levi. Many people were sitting at the long conference table of the North District City Lord’s Mansion for talks.
At the beginning of the meeting, after reports from Lin and Baron Cali, everyone had a general understanding of tonight's situation. As soon as Lin sat down, Edwards stood up and angrily scolded Lachios: "Your Excellency, the Chief, I hope you can
To explain tonight's incident, our two tribes are now in a cooperative relationship. We not only have economic and trade exchanges, but also a military alliance and a technological alliance. I would like to ask who the group of orcs who attacked Childe Auditorium in Brighton City tonight are.
What's going on?"
Lachios tapped the table and spoke calmly and coldly: "Lord Edwards, I also want to ask you. According to Ms. Lin just now, in addition to the orcs, the attackers also had the captain of the Bear Team of the Arbitration Institute, a short and fat businessman.
, a circus clown, you just point your gun at the orcs, why don't you say something about these people?"
"You...! You are quibbling!..."
"Then the Lord of the City, please give me an explanation! Why is it that our activities tonight are clearly required not to bring any weapons, and yet such a terrifying thing happens!"
Baron Cali closed his eyes and crossed his arms, keeping the scepter in his arms. City Lord Edwards was too impatient and fell into a disadvantage in the conversation with the warchief from the beginning, but Edwards today is not like before.
He. Baron Cali always felt that Edwards would cause trouble in the future and lead the matter to Brighton City's biggest enemy in the near future, the wizard. Although everyone's attention will now be on General George, Lord Edwards
But he can only continue to say this. Chief Lachios also knows that the wizard is not the murderer. For the sake of face and the balance between the two races, he can only agree with Edwards. After all, the two sides still have to cooperate. This is politics.
"So, Lord City Lord, do you think there are other forces behind this matter?" Lachios raised the topic first.
Edwards caught it: "The vice-captain of the Bear Team of the Arbitration Institute just reported that elemental fluctuations broke out many times in the auditorium. I suspect that wizards are involved."
Lin originally wanted to say something, but she held back. Edwards wanted to use this incident to completely eliminate the wizarding forces within Brighton City.
"I think so too. City Lord, you must intensify your efforts against wizards. You can continue to talk about how to deal with wizards in tonight's meeting. I have to go and comfort the injured of our tribes." Lachios and Li
Wei winked at each other and slowly walked towards the main entrance of the conference room. When passing Edwards, Lachios stopped and said: "I hope what happened tonight will not affect the friendship between our two races. After all, if we make trouble again, the elves will not
Watch the fire from the other side."
General Mogan watched Lachios leave with some appreciation, stood up and said: "City Lord, in this case, do you want to carry out a large-scale purge and arrest or execute people suspected of being wizards or people related to wizards?
Brighton City will not allow such a dangerous guy to exist."
The members of the upper council were talking a lot. Baron Cali, who already understood General Mogan's intention, tapped the councilman next to him with his chin. The man understood and stood up and said: "Then the impact is not too great. If it affects the lives of civilians...
"The parliament has always made it clear that its attitude is the people's side, that is, the majority. At this moment, General Mogan proposed to clean up Brighton City, which means to attack Edwards. His guess was correct. Tonight's internal conspiracy was indeed related to Edwards.
, if there were more clues, he could catch Edwards.
"No, Mr. Skoll, such behavior is necessary. The Law Enforcement Team Arbitration Office will prepare an action plan for me within three days after returning. The name of the plan is called Bloody Operation. This time we must eliminate the remaining wizards in Brighton City.
Completely clear it." Edwards, with helplessness in his eyes, slammed the table and stood up, and said to Skoll, who stood up in the House of Lords. A bloody purge was born in just a few words from a few people.
The emergency meeting ended here. At twelve o'clock in the morning, everyone left one after another. Only General Mogan and Edwards were left behind and walked in the garden of the city lord's mansion.
After the two people who had been walking in silence made sure that no one was around, Edwards asked in a low voice: "General Mogan, what do you mean, what good will the purge do to you?"
"George, the soldier I value most, doesn't want this, but I want him to get more power. You need someone to check and balance you. You've gone too far now."
"So you plan to push me to the forefront? Make me the target of public criticism? Just now I have to show that I am not allowed to say no, otherwise the people in the parliament and the law enforcement team will definitely say that I gossip, old guy."
Mo Gan sneered: "Don't think that I don't know what you have done in the Eastern Continent, and you want to centralize power and become the king? Edwards, are you too young? It's better to calm down and take care of your own affairs recently."
Edwards' veins popped out and he clenched his fists: "Don't give me a chance, old guy, or I'll let you die miserably."
General Mogan held up his umbrella and left with disdain, leaving only a faint sentence: "It is precisely because you are Edwards and belong to the Child family that you can endure it." After saying that, General Mogan stood side by side with Baron Cali.
Walking, while Edwards stayed alone at the end. Today was the most failed day for him. The plan of the Son of God was destroyed by the Hermits and George. He could not even support him. The political level could only divert the disaster to the east.
Putting himself into an unkind and unjust situation. Edwards' nails dug deeply into his palms, and cyan blood dripped down.
"The day the Mother Goddess comes, the world will eventually change. Since you want me to stop, then I will stop for a while! If you want me to follow your path and make the people disgusted with me, then I will do it well!"
Edwards said frantically several times that no one who had come into contact with Edwards outside of the Son of God had ever seen him like this.
Edwards stood up and said calmly: "Go to the great envoy Lagdis and ask him for forgiveness. It will take a long time to get the relics of Brighton City, but tell him that we have discovered the descendants of the Hebrews."
Lagdis, who was already scarred, walked out from the shadow of the garden: "I'm sorry... Lord God's Envoy, the people who serve the God have learned about our plan..."
"I don't blame you. It's already good that you can keep Randall out of the way. Don't stay in Brighton City during this period. Go to the Eastern Continent."
"Yes, Lord God Envoy."
After the explanation, Edwards watched viciously as everyone left the city lord's palace and returned to his residence with his assistant.
"Just wait, I will make it difficult for you all."
...
In a bombed-out house not far from Childe Auditorium, Lizzie and Tino were anxiously stitching up Arthur's stomach wound. Mrs. Eno and Vic Jarvis stood at the window and kept sucking.
Xing Yingcao paid attention to the movements of the law enforcement team of the Arbitration Office outside the house. Guy, who was extremely weak, sat on a stone pillar in the distance and stared in the direction of Arthur in a daze.
After Parrish carried Arthur out of the smoking area and escaped from the auditorium, he was surprised to find that Arthur's body was pierced by something. The blood could not stop before Arthur woke up, so Parrish hurried back to Mrs. Eno
Here, let Vic Jarvis find a clean place where a nurse and Tino, a barber who works as a doctor, will sew Arthur's wounds.
Brynn gritted her teeth and went down to the basement again to get a basin of water. The blood water before was filled with silk threads and bandages. Next to it was half a bottle of alcohol for disinfection and goblin healing agent. Parrish, who went out to investigate the situation, avoided the rain.
Climbed in through the window and asked, "What's going on? Has Arthur woke up?"
Tino held a razor used for bloodletting surgery in his hand and answered anxiously: "No, sir, Mr. Arthur has toxins in his body, which are very similar to the toxins unique to people on the seaside. Such toxins are very harmful to Mr. Arthur."
Physical recovery has a great impact. You said that if Mr. Arthur calmed down before, his ash phenomenon would stop, but now Mr. Arthur...even the healing agent cannot have an effect. "Liqi is already a handful.
She was sewing with tears and snot, but the place where she pressed continued to ooze blood. Arthur's body continued to turn to ashes, and the area that Lizzie had sewn was also deteriorating. At this time, Arthur's head reached to his eyes.
All disappeared, and the blood hole began to spread from the wound on the left abdomen to other parts of the body. Bryn's eyes turned red when she saw it. She stood up and said to Parrish: "I know a well-known surgeon in the North District. I'll go find him."
He comes over."
Angelina quickly grabbed Brynn: "Sister Brynn, you will definitely be questioned if you go out now. There is no way to bring the doctor back. What's more, you also know the situation of our wizards..."
"What should I do? Let me just watch Arthur die?"
Guy, who had been sitting silently on the collapsed stone pillar, stood up, pushed aside Parrish and Brynn, and squatted next to Arthur: "I'll try my witchcraft, Mr. Parrish, you can use the mirror world mask"
Live with me, Arthur, and the two of them."
Parrish heard the words and said no more, snapping his fingers to wrap up several people. He saw Arthur's bad situation. Arthur's own elemental power has now been hollowed out, and the wood elemental power cannot operate.
He definitely wouldn't be able to wake up on his own. This was all related to Arthur running away and using up his last strength after seeing George being impaled by Gesas. If Parrish hadn't knocked Arthur out at that time, Arthur would have probably disappeared in the auditorium.
Turn into dust.
Li Qi raised her head with tears in her eyes: "What are you going to do?"
"Don't be too nervous about what happens next, just trust me." Guy put his trembling hands on Arthur's face, and the witchcraft decomposition and reconstruction was activated, and the skin in various parts of Arthur's body moved towards the abdomen.
, Gradually, the blood hole shrank a lot. Liqi and Tino looked at each other, sweating profusely, and hurriedly sutured the blood hole, then took out the healing agent and sprayed it on the blood hole, performing emergency rescue.
Finally, Guy's eyes turned black and he fell to the ground. Brynn quickly rushed into the mirror world to check Guy's condition.
Parrish cast a questioning look, and Brynn shook her head slightly: "He's fine, Mr. Parrish, he's just exhausted."
At this time, Liqi, who had been afraid to express her anger, fell into Tino's arms. She had been highly concentrated and finally completed the work at hand. Her lips turned white and she was covered in cold sweat:
