Vol 4 Chapter 84: collapse

Warrington Meteor Avenue.
The royal team, which should have been prestigious and smooth, was blocked in the middle.
This scene can also be said to be rare in a century.
The emperor Strick was sitting on a luxurious carriage engraved with a rose pattern, and his old face was covered with a thick layer of frost.
If it had not been known in advance that the emperor had just turned 46 this year, I'm afraid no one would have thought that the emperor's dignity would look like this. He looks like an old man in his sixties and seventies.
Osteoporosis is a peculiar and rare disease. It can make the body's bones weak and weak. When it develops to the end, people with this disease can only lie in bed and have no strength to stand up.
The alchemist of the palace has developed some drugs that can relieve the emperor's symptoms at the cost of his life being greatly overdrawn, and this is an irreversible behavior. As far as physical development is concerned, the 46-year-old Emperor Strike has indeed reached the age of 70.
The painful torture made Strike VI suspicious, irritable, and murderous.
It has been a long time since anyone dared to stand and speak in front of him.
I did not expect today, but someone dared to stop his car.
Hamilton sat high on his chase after the electricity, blocking the drive of Emperor Strick, with a proud look, without fear of the emperor's anger.
He did have pride in his capital. He became a chosen warrior of the Holy Spirit at the age of sixteen, and walked out of the church when he was twenty. , And three years later became the deputy head of the shining knights. In the same year, he broke into the Iron Island with a single horse and slaughtered more than 300 people on the entire island. Two years later, Hamilton successfully killed Allinson, the head of the Dark Knights of the Scourge Church. Despite this operation with the help of two holy priests, Hamilton became famous.
In these years, as long as Hamilton shot, there is no unfinished task.
This man was fierce, brutal, and crazy. His pride not only came from the strength of the church, but also from his own strength, but also from the deep religious fanaticism in his heart. Faith can soothe the soul or make people crazy. Hamilton is the typical latter. In his eyes, all worldly existence should make way for gods, even the emperor.
His radical thought was criticized even inside the Holy Spirit Church. In the words of the Pope: Hamilton is a good knife and a disobedient crazy dog. You can ask him to do anything you are not fit to do, but never expect him to be politically helpful to you. On the contrary, while sending him out, you have to be prepared for him to complete the task but leave a mess, and wipe his anytime, anywhere.
Because of this, Hamilton can only be the deputy head, not the head of the head, but his fierce name makes everyone who hears his name tremble.
"Hamilton, you have seen Her Majesty Strike." Hamilton gave a rite of worship to Emperor Strike, stating that the clergy were outside the control of worldly power.
Star Warrior Hampton was the man who accompanied the emperor today, but he did not see how he did. People have suddenly appeared, standing between the Strick and the Hamilton, which effectively prevented Hamilton from approaching.
"Hamilton, we know that you are here in Warrington. If you want to catch Iglean, we will not stop it because we are looking for him everywhere. But you cannot stop His Majesty's car at will."
Hamilton proudly said: "Master Hampton, I know how people like you think about me. You can think of me as arrogant and think of myself as arrogant, but you can't think of me as stupid. When you really don't know Lan Has any deal been concluded between the Empire and Hugh Glair? Can you really figure out what is happening for me? Of course, this is a decent bow, so you are still pursuing him on the surface. , But in fact you have undone all actual actions. In this case, why not do it for us? "
Hampton was sluggish.
On the surface, his siege to the Royal Coliseum and the impediment to the emperor's car are unprecedented provocations, and even the Holy Spirit Church cannot so brazenly ignore the sovereignty of other countries, but who can think of Hamilton's arrogance behind, the same There is no lack of delicate thoughts.
He knew very well that his Lance empire's attitude towards Hugh Glair was afraid of him, feared him, and wanted to get rid of him.
As a result of the Franks and Xiu forces, the Lance Empire had to make a low profile to avoid the alchemy that could have a significant impact on the country and cultivate powerful enemies. But behind this bow, there is also a deep unwillingness.
Hamilton was aware of this, so he dared to be arrogant and dare to do what no one dared to do. Behind his arrogance is not only capital, but also speculation on the opponent's psychology.
"Her Hamilton, do you mean the action of Her Majesty the Pope, or do you mean it yourself?"
"Her Majesty the Pope sent me here and gave me full power to dispose of it. You can think of it as my own meaning or your Majesty's meaning. Of course, I even think: This is the will of God!" The voice was loud and powerful, with an unquestionable tone.
Hampton took a few steps back and came to Emperor Strick: "Your Majesty, what do you think about this?"
The old emperor's voice was somber: "What is he going to do?"
Hampton looked back at Hamilton: "We need to know what you plan to do."
"My people have begun a full siege of the Royal Coliseum and conducted a close search of Hugh Glair. Except for women and children, everyone, especially young people, will be temporarily left in the Coliseum. We will Check the identity of everyone. "
"If not found?"
"Then check them one by one until they are found. No one is allowed to leave until he finds Hiyle. Anyone who dares to leave is considered to be Hiyle, and all will be killed on the spot!"
Hamilton's answer was full of bully.
On this issue, the Church of the Holy Spirit has a clear attitude, and even if it kills 10,000 by mistake, it never misses a suspect.
Even so, Hamilton already felt very open-hearted. To know that all his previous thoughts had been completely killed, if he had not been repeatedly discouraged by the archbishop, he might have done so.
This is the essential difference between the church and the country. The state honors the emperor, and the church honors the gods. Deities can be immortal, emperors cannot. So the country can change, the church cannot change, and faith cannot change. When a Reims empire falls, a new nation will naturally rise. The church does not care which country is rising, as long as the people of this country still believe in the Church of the Holy Spirit and believe in them, that is enough.
Therefore, the relationship between the church and the empire is like the relationship between termites and big trees. The former eats the latter, but it does not care about the fate of the latter. Big deal this tree fell down, just change another tree, occasionally can sing on the branches that I am the owner of this big tree.
Of course, this is to consider the issue from the perspective of personal interests. If it is considered from the political side, this kind of thing can only be thought about, and it cannot be really done, otherwise it will inevitably cause uproar. But as far as Hamilton is concerned, political issues are never something he needs to consider.
He only knew one thing: to clean up everything that was harmful to the church, especially a character like Hugh Iglell who could influence the political situation of the country, and he was absolutely not allowed to stay in this world. It is worthwhile to bury a large number of innocent people for this purpose.
Therefore, when he said the words "generously", he felt that he was extremely generous, and the other party should even thank God for grace.
But Hampton didn't think so, he shouted: "This is crazy! There are tens of thousands of people in the theater, thousands of nobles, what do you want to do? Have the imperial officials wiped out?"
"So, Your Majesty needs to send someone to assist you. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, as long as you can prove your identity, it is true that we will let it go." Hamilton replied indifferently. If something is suspicious, kill it all! "
"Her Majesty the Emperor will not agree to this request!" Hampton exclaimed.
"No!" Strike suddenly exclaimed: "I agree, let them check! Hampton, you take the 3,000 Guards to assist the Holy Knights. Be sure to find Shuigler and then ... ! "
As the voice fell, a tumbling sound came from afar.
The crowd looked north at the same time, seeing the dramatic changes when the Arcane Tower collapsed.
The collapse of the Arcane Tower in Warrington was like a magnitude 10 earthquake that shook everyone's mind.
Countless citizens looked northwards together, stunned looking at the smoke-filled land.
The place where the world once worshiped was lifted by a large amount of smoke and dust. The debris on the high tower scattered like snowflakes, and the residents in the vicinity frightened and fled. The flames were burning, making crackling explosions from time to time, and the deafening roar could be heard clearly even a few miles away.
Everyone within dozens of miles saw this spectacular collapse, and people rushed around and asked what happened.
The arcane tower fell, and the glory symbolizing the status and dignity of the magician collapsed, like a loud slap in the face, fiercely fanning Nicholas Cage's face.
Royal Coliseum, ring platform.
Nicholas Cage gritted his teeth and uttered these words: "Xiu Yi ... Gryle, how ruthless!"
It's really cruel.
At that time, the Lances were 50,000 poor, spent three years, spent countless money and food, and built this tower symbolizing the glory of the magician. They believed that magic can bring people a better life and protect their homes and peace. Violation, they worship this mysterious and huge power and are willing to die for it.
This belief is rooted in everyone's heart like faith.
Today, however, it collapsed and crashed in the sight of countless people. The fall of Arcane Tower also shattered the sacred and invincible belief of magicians in countless people.
Xiu uses his actions to tell those high-level magicians that he can make them less valuable if he wants to.
Don't force me! This is what Xiu Yi wants to say. No one wants to force me to do something I don't want to do, and hesitates to fight for it.
He was not afraid of the Lance Empire, what's so great about offending another Wizards Association?
"Raschel!" Nicholas Cage exclaimed angrily.
All the magicians on the ring platform began searching for Raschel's trail at the same time.
But Raschel disappeared out of thin air.
It just disappeared without a trace.
Shuy noticed the vision, and he bowed his head and asked Buckler, "What about Raschel?"
"I don't know, just now. When the Holy Knights rushed over, they all paid attention to the outside, and then the Arcane Tower collapsed, everyone was attracted to it, and no one noticed where Rasher had gone."
"Hell!" Xiu stomped angrily: "I let you stare at him!"
"It's my fault." Buckler apologized.
Xiu Yi looked around for Raschel, but he couldn't find it. Did this guy miss the chance?
No, that's wrong.
So why did he run away suddenly?
Is it because the Arcane Tower collapsed?
No, that's not the case.
Xiu Yi was puzzled.
Just then, the crystal ball in her arms suddenly rang.
When Xiu beckoned, Christine and Buckler and Lilith came at the same time to encircle him and block the sight of others.
Xiu Yi took out the crystal ball, and it was indeed news from Pamela.
Her face was filled with eagerness: "Xiu Yi, the situation is not good."
"What happened?"
"I just heard that Padgett was put in prison by Her Royal Highness before his death. Clos stormed into the prison and killed Padgett. The orders received by the guards were unquestionable and came from the royal family. That is, Say……"
"Is this the emperor's acquiescence?"
"Yes," Pamela replied in shock.
"I see." Xiu Yi nodded. Strike VI really didn't bow that easily. It must be that he notified Nicholas Cage about the moire, and then deliberately tolerated the Arcane Tower to attack himself. He bowed his head, begged, and all looked superficial.
What he really thought was, in fact: what he couldn't get, others couldn't get it.
But Strike was smart this time. Instead of doing it himself, he chose to kill with a knife.
Just as Arcane Tower was preparing to use the Assassin Alliance as a slayer, Strike VI also chose to borrow people from Arcane Tower to accomplish this. In this way, even if the Arcane Tower failed, it could not be blamed on the royal head, because the Lance Empire had no direct power over the Wizards Association, and worldly power had only two things that could not be restrained, one was magic and the other was the church.
As soon as he figured this out, Xiu's complexion changed immediately: "Rasher must be very aware of this situation. He must have known that there was a collusion between the royal family and Arcane Tower. It was Padgett ordered by Avril? That was bad Raschel will definitely count Avril as an enemy! "
"He can't take a princess like that." Buckler didn't care.
"No!" Xiu said flatly: "Raschel is a smart man who knows how to take advantage of the current situation. His own strength may not be enough, but you forgot one thing ... there are people under him."
"Who?"
Xiu Yi's eyes showed a vicious look: "It's the gang who begged him to find me. Raschel, he will make good use of this resource. Oh my god, I know why he was gone. Harry's just now Didn't that man say that Hamilton had stopped the emperor's car? "
Buckler and Christine looked at each other. Christine hurriedly asked: "You mean Raschel would use the Wizards Association to be bad for the princess?"
"It must be so!" Xiu almost screamed, and his heart was anxious: "This is crazy! His best friend is dead, he has incurable disease himself, what is he afraid of? What is he? They dare to do it. No wonder I let him follow me, and he agreed without hesitation. No wonder he dared to say that he could force me out. He knows my weakness, that is ... Avril. "
Everyone was completely choked.
They stared blankly at Xiuyi.
Xiu bowed his head and said to Pamela in the crystal ball, "Madam, is it too late for you to go after Avril?"
Pamela shook her head: "I don't know, but I can try hard."
"Then please go to Avril immediately and tell him that I said it. Raschel will be against her. Let her be careful of the people of Raschel and the Wizarding Society, and don't let them approach her."
"Okay, I'll do it."
Communication was interrupted. Xiu Yi put away the crystal ball, and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid it's too late."
Christine looked at Xiu anxiously, "Xiuyi, wouldn't you tell me you were going to save her?"
"Yes." Xiu Yi's eyes showed a resolute color: "I'm sorry for her. When I was with her, I only used her and didn't cherish it. It was all my fault. I used to let her down ... But this time, I will do my best for her. Regardless of success or failure, there is no plan, only battle! "
Buckler sighed: "But the Church of the Holy Spirit has blocked the area and no one is allowed in or out."
"I can, you know." Xiu Yi looked at Master Bateson who was still staring at him not far away. "He can help me out, just as we planned."
"But it takes time to prepare."
"Not ready, just do it."
"What?" Buckler almost jumped up in shock. "No, that's too dangerous. You don't know enough about that spell."
"Do it no matter how dangerous it is. We have no time to delay."
After Xiu said this, he turned and walked towards Bateson. He shouted, "Bateson, don't you want to fight me? Well then, I accept your invitation to duel!"
With that said, he pulled out his waist for a decorative sword, and before Bateson responded, he stabbed him with a sword.
The sword came quickly and quickly, and Bateson was taken aback by him. Fortunately, he is a streamer warrior after all. He has touched the threshold of a high-level warrior and has a quick response. The thumb of his right hand was lightly clasped around his waist, and an enchanted sword had jumped out of his palm. He even played a sword flower to meet Xiuyi's sword.
Alas, the two swords intersected, sparks splattered, Xiu Yi's sword was swung open.
Bateson's sword remained intact, and he slammed into Xiu Yi's chest.
He was sure that even if the sword did not hit his opponent, he could make the Master Cissedane Daniil mess around. When he gave him another kick, he would humiliate him severely, and he could wipe out the original shame. .
However, he did not expect that Xiuxiang was frightened by the sword, and he watched the sword stab himself towards him.
Fluttering, with a light sound, the sword stabbed into Xiu Yi's chest.
The nobles of Warrington today are really disaster-stricken. They have just experienced the siege of the Holy Spirit Church and have not escaped from this trouble. They have witnessed the fall of the Arcane Tower, and then ... The young master hit the sword.
Xiu looked pale at the sword that pierced his chest.
"You ..." Bateson called out, and he couldn't think of it, Xiuyi couldn't even stop his sword.
Withdrawing the sword, Bateson took a few steps back and forth. A large swath of blood splattered from Xiu's chest, flapping Bateson's head and covering his face, staining him as a whole, and scaring everyone, especially the noble ladies, girls, one by one I had to close my eyes and couldn't bear to look again.
Their nerves are tested today.
"I won't kill him on purpose!" Bateson yelled, "Everyone saw it. He rushed over, and he agreed to my duel!"
"Oh my god!" The heads of the few business houses looked at this scene and almost fainted.
"You won, Master Bateson. I think from now on, you and my grievances can be written off right?" Surprisingly, Xiuyi could still speak. He slowly fell over his wound and fell into Buckler's arms.
"Sisser! Hold on!" Buckler yelled.
"It's a shame, uncle, I can't work for the family anymore. From today ... we have to say goodbye." Xiu Yi said hardly, he coughed up the blood in his mouth.
"You ... small kid!" Buckler's eyes murmured with tears, and Christine couldn't bear to look any further.
It shouldn't be like this.
Successive accidents disrupted all arrangements.
But what made Christine most uncomfortable was that Xiu Yi hesitated to take the greatest risk for Avril.
"Send me ... home." Xiu Yi said in a weak but clear word, and everyone heard the sentence.
"Okay, let's go back now." Buckler picked Xiuyi and walked outside the theater.
Outside the theater, several holy knights blocked the door: "Without the orders of Lord Hamilton, no one except women and children can leave, otherwise they will be killed!"
"My nephew is dead, and I'm sending him home now. If you want to do it, do it!" Buckler showed his anger just right.
Several knights of the Holy Knights looked at each other, and one of them stepped forward, ripped Xiuyi's clothes, and examined his injuries. Then he turned back and said, "The heart is pierced and there is no chance of living again, no medicine can save it."
"The two women can send him away, you stay, and go back to the platform, otherwise you will die." Another Holy Knight immediately said.
Buckler turned Xiu into the hands of Christine and Lilith, glaring angrily at the holy knights, and finally returned unwillingly. !! ~!
