Meanwhile, in a room at the highest point of the Silver Tower, Namelia stared at a huge beaker on the table. It contained half a bottle of yellow liquid, rolling violently.
The room was filled with countless alchemy equipment, and it looked like a chemistry laboratory in a large research institute.
Ummel stood aside and looked at Namelia impatiently. "I said, why are you doing those things? Didn't both of the assassins recruit? They are people from the Crystal Tower Sect."
Namelia didn't raise her head. "Don't trust the confession easily. The facts are always stronger than words. They are obviously lying."
"Impossible! The intelligence manager took it himself and searched their brains with memory. Even they found out when they were young, they peeked at their sister in the bath. It was exactly the same as confession."
"Memory is the same as language. They can lie, can't they modify memory? As far as I know, there are no less than ten spells that can modify memory."
"What a hassle! What are you looking for?"
"Think about it, there is a fire in Liuhe Town, and all investigations point to the Crystal Tower. When I arrive at Red Wall City, there will be assassins from the Crystal Tower to assassinate. What does this mean?"
"It means that the Crystal Tower wants to fight us. Then fight? Who is afraid of who? Lord Queves, chairman of the contact meeting of the Dr. Light Tower, has long proposed to establish the Supreme Council of Five Towers and let the Prince be the first speaker. Winning the war with the Crystal Tower is a great achievement, which can not only show the strength of the Silver Tower, but also shock the Shadow Tower and the Rainbow Tower. Why not use the reason for the war that comes to the door?"
Namelia snorted. "This is what I'm worried about. I feel that this assassination is a reason for coming to the door. If I really want to kill me, wouldn't it be a waste of my life to send two people who only have Yuanli to understand the first level, but it will make me more vigilant. Don't the Crystal Tower know that I have already reached the first level of Yuanli's qualitative transformation? There must be a big conspiracy behind this, so I have to start investigating from the death bomb."
"Yuanli understands the first level? You almost made them succeed. If it weren't..." The muscles on his face pulled out.
"If it weren't for the man named Major, many people would have died in the square. Although this kind of death bomb is powerful, it will not hurt me. The one who died would be innocent civilians in the square. Moreover, you were too careless, how could you use the skill of the enhanced light energy bomb? If you hit an assassin, it will also detonate the death bomb."
"I'm aiming at that man." Ummel shrugged.
Namelia shook her head: "You don't even know the enemy and me at all. You have too little experience in facing the enemy. I have suggested to the prince that you can serve in the legion and exercise in actual combat."
"That's great!" said Ummel. "I'm about to show my skills on the battlefield. I have to thank you for this. Sister."
"Don't be too happy too early. The place you are going to is the Silver Light Warrior Order. It has nothing to do with the battlefield."
Ummel was overjoyed: "The Silver Light Warrior Order is better. Sister, I told the prince that I wanted to join the Silver Light Warrior Order several times, but he refused. Thank you so much this time. I won't tell you anymore. Let's go and sign up for the leader now. What's his name?"
"Lord Lionel Pansy. The office is on the 87th floor of the Silver Tower."
Ummel ran away before she could finish her words. Namelia smiled and shook her head, then focused on observing the flask in front of her.
...
After going down the mountain, Major, Ellie and Saimen stepped onto the avenue. Speaking of which, the road system in this world showed a high level that was inconsistent with the development of civilization. The villages and towns were connected by standardized roads with all connections. These roads were built with stones of almost the same size, and may be grouted. The surface was paved with any material. It was like asphalt, and was pressed smoothly and flat by pedestrians and chariots over the years, almost as cement. The roadbed was two feet above the ground, slightly raised in the middle, and the sides were tilted downwards to facilitate drainage. There were long drainage ditches in many places.
Logically speaking, this non-unified separatist regime has no motivation to build roads. What's more, this kind of road project is huge and very expensive. The current level of productivity of this civilization cannot bear it at all.
He asked Ellie. Ellie simply replied: "This is the masterpiece of the Father of Creation, and it is built at the same time as five towers."
...
There were endless carriages and pedestrians on the road. Major was too lazy to walk, so he stopped an empty carriage and went straight to Baiyang Town. The coachman refused to let a wolf get on the carriage. The poor Saimen had to follow him from afar, so as not to scare the horse pulling the carriage.
Baiyang Town is a little smaller than Liuhe Town, but it is also protected by a circle of three or four meters high city walls. The moat flows under the city walls. Pedestrians, cars and horses have to enter and exit through the city gate. However, there are no guards next to the city gate, so it is very free to enter and exit.
There were many residents in the city, bustling, unlike Liuhe Town. After walking for a while, Major discovered that today was a gathering day, and the villagers from all over the country were coming to the market. The stalls on both sides of the road were crowded together, selling various daily necessities and food products.
Major bought three large grilled sausages, and the two and the dog ate the mouth full of oil. The grilled sausage vendor was very dissatisfied with Major's sausages for the wolf and muttered several times.
Major was too lazy to care about him and was gnawing on the sausages. Ellie suddenly laughed and pointed at the front and said, "Look at how interesting that dwarf is!"
Major looked up and couldn't help laughing. It turned out that someone was playing tricks not far away in front of him. A group of people surrounded him and saw a green-skinned dwarf being squeezed outside. He couldn't see it even on tiptoe. He jumped in and looked inside in a hurry. The dwarf was round and had two short legs that couldn't jump up like a ball, which was very funny.
Suddenly, a man next to the dwarf screamed, sat on the ground with his feet in his arms, hugged the dwarf and shouted: "Oh hey! You broke my foot!"
Several people nearby ran over and surrounded the dwarf in the middle.
Now that there was a good show, Major hurriedly pulled Ellie and ran over, occupied a favorable terrain, gnawing on the sausages to watch.
"You...you... are you okay?" the dwarf turned around and asked stammered. He had round glasses hanging from his two big ears, clamped against his small collapsed nose, and slipped down from time to time. The dwarf reached out to push it.
This dwarf is in trouble. Major and Ellie shook their heads at the same time.
Sure enough, the people on the ground screamed even more miserably. They held his legs and refused to let go. Looking at the painful expression, they almost fainted.
Two men in leather armor in militia guards heard the noise and saw the crowd gathering and walked over to see them. A little thin man leaned over and whispered a few words. They nodded and walked away.
"You little bastard, you trampled on my brother's feet. This is a crime! Come with me to see the sheriff immediately." A fat man shouted indignation.
"That's right, you can't forgive him easily. If you deliberately hurt him, you will be sentenced to at least three years." Another person echoed.
"Not only do you have to go to prison, but you have to pay for money. Pique relies on running errands to support his family. This time he cut off his life and was disabled for life. The whole family and the young all starved to death. He had to pay for money!"
These people said and said something, and in a blink of an eye, they put this matter firmly on the dwarf's head.
The dwarf was so anxious that he was sweating all over and kept putting on his glasses, unable to say a word.
The group of people has begun to count the cost of Pique's family of seventeen living to the age of eighty.
"102 gold coins, 47 silver coins." The fat man calculated the general account. "No copper can be left behind."
The dwarf widened his eyes: "How can I have that much money?"
"Then how many do you have?"
The dwarf stammered, "I only have three gold coins."
"That's not OK! There's not enough money, so I'll use something else to take his stuff." The fat man waved his hand, and a group of people rushed over and pulled his hands and feet, touching the dwarf.
The dwarf jumped and shouted, "Why are you doing this! Why are you doing this!"
Major couldn't stand it anymore. These hooligans were playing too hard and caught a sheep and slaughtered them to death.
He squeezed in and shouted, "If you have something to say, don't touch me." He pulled a few hooligans away from the dwarf in just a few seconds.
The gangsters were stunned for a moment. The fat man couldn't figure out Major's background for a moment and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I won't do it either." Major said with a smile.
The fat man was stunned and asked again: "What's your relationship with this dwarf?"
"It doesn't matter."
A gangster came forward and said, "This guy is only a man, a strange face, and a foreigner. The people from the militia guards don't know him."
The fat man twisted his neck: "Hey! You are here to stand up!"
"It's not a question of standing up for trouble. Let's talk to you." Major said with a smile. Ellie stood in the crowd, completely looking like a crowd.
"Tell me your damn reason!" A thin little man wanted to rush up to beat Major, but was stopped by the fat man. "Be careful, there are many people here." He solemnly warned his subordinates, and said, "Okay, let's justify you. This dwarf cut off my brother's foot, either paying money or going to jail, it's natural!"
"Do you want to go to jail?" Major asked the dwarf. The dwarf shook his head quickly.
"Then lose money!"
"It's not bad to lose money. The problem is that you ask for a price that is too high. He doesn't have that much money at all, just a little less."
"He has no money, you have it." The fat man glared. "If you stand up for him, then you will compensate."
Major pretended to think about it. "But I don't have that much money either."
"Then how many do you have?"
"I have... seventy or eighty gold coins."
The hooligans were happy and exchanged glances with each other, thinking that they would be catching a big fish now. You should know that one or two gold coins may be the income of an ordinary family for a year. Such a sucker jumped out and was slaughtered by himself, which is a great joy.
The fat man also had his eyes lit up: "Okay, for your loyalty, you can give as much as you have. We will suffer a little loss and will not pursue it."
The onlookers burst into a thunderous sensation.
Major scratched his head. "But if his feet don't break, wouldn't we lose money in vain? You just said he was disabled for life?"
"It's broken! It's definitely broken! It's definitely a lifelong disability and you can't walk in the future." The fat man said seriously.
The hooligan sitting on the ground quickly picked up his feet and cried out in pain.
"But it's impossible to check this? The bone is broken, not a trauma. It would be great if there was a healer." Major squatted beside the gangster and said embarrassedly.
"It's impossible to check. There is no healer in Baiyang Town." The fat man said quickly.
"That's hard to deal with, it's better." Major seemed to come up with an idea and waved to the dwarf: "Do you have any hammers, sticks, or something? The heavier the better."
The dwarf's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, yes! Wait a minute." He rushed out a small hammer in his backpack and handed it to Major.
Major took it and weighed it, and was secretly shocked. The hammer was so dark that it was extremely heavy, and it was not as big as fifty pounds.
He held the gangster's legs and raised the hammer and said, "Since I can't check it out, I have a way. Anyway, your feet are disabled and cannot walk, so it doesn't matter if you get hit for a little longer. We won't suffer any losses, it's very fair. Do you think so?"
Ah? The rogue was so scared that he forgot to scream in pain, so he quickly looked up at the fat man.
Before the fat man could speak, Major was about to smash the hammer. When the gangster shuddered, he got up from the ground and hid aside. His movements were agile, and he was completely different from his appearance lying on the ground just now. There was no sign of injury, and he was even more disabled than he was.
The onlookers burst into laughter. The dwarf was stunned for a moment and laughed, but his face changed immediately. He stared at the fat man with a few cold light flashing in his eyes.
Major saw it and thought that this dwarf was not as idiot as he thought.
The fat man's face changed a few times, and he said for a while: "Okay, there is yours. We still have time to meet." After that, he led his brothers to curse and pushed away the crowd.
"Let's go? Let's chat for a while!" Major shouted at their backs.
The onlookers watched the show ended, but they still dispersed with unsatisfactory feelings. Several girls who had been watching were shouting and applauding.
Ellie came over. "I didn't expect you to have this trick." She praised sincerely.
What is this? Major thought. This kind of clumsy level of striking porcelain is not at all in my celestial dynasty.
"I mean." He waved his hand gracefully.
"What if he bit the bullet and let you smash it?"
"Smash it! Smash it hard."
"Then can you afford to pay? Where can you get that much money?"
This girl usually looks very clever, why is she so naive?
"They're not enough for you to hit one finger. Can you pay for it?"
Ellie gave him a strong look and went to talk to the dwarf.
