Chapter 155: Flee in a hurry

"We must never reveal our identity!"
"If Amn officially knew that we were harpists, the situation would be even worse, and there were so many armed citizens outside, even if we clarified the identity of our harpists in public, they might not believe it."
"What is the result of the prediction spell?"
"Resisted, it must be the evil mage of the Santarin Club who used defensive detection magic to conceal the facts!"
"Santalin will be more likely to start. It can resist the master harpist's prophecy spells. At least it must reach the realm of legend. There is no legendary mage in the Bradlow Theater."
"Damn Santarim, how did they get their hands on it, they can devise such a vicious scheme!"
"Maybe Amn officials already know our identity, and deliberately performed such a scene to persecute and expel us! They were very unfriendly to the harpists hidden in the country a long time ago."
...
The besieged harpists were discussing countermeasures, and suddenly there was a loud noise outside, the whole building shook slightly, and dust fell from the ceiling.
Gerlos hurriedly went to the window and took a breath.
The Amn regular army called in a trebuchet and was loading stone bullets. The huge response just now should be a test shot of the trebuchet.
Looking at it from a distance, the soldier operating the catapult was holding an iron ball painted in red and full of spikes, and Garros recognized it at a glance. It was an extraordinary alchemy bomb!
"Mystra is here!"
A harpist mage exclaimed: "They are going to blow us up to heaven. It is obviously a downtown area. Is it true that using a catapult to throw a bomb is really not afraid of accidental injury? Can the people allow them to do this?"
"Blow them up!"
"Very good! Blow me up. How they blow up the theater, they blow up these gangsters!"
"Hahaha, deserve it!"
...
The applause of more than 10,000 armed citizens surrounding the Gerlos Mansion answered the harpist's question.
The Harp Master’s sealing effect at the gate is extremely strong, and the Gerlos Mansion is secretly decorated as the Temple of Mystral. Can the defensive spell cast in the human kingdom of the goddess of magic be less effective?
Under the dual effects of magical effectiveness and divine power blessing, the door of the mansion was solid, and the Amn soldiers remained motionless after they hit the city with hammers for almost half an hour.
The city hall urgently recruited masked wizards to come. After arriving, the masked wizards used dispelling magic but found that it was ineffective against the door seal. A door actually blocked the footsteps of the Amn regular army, which made the army commander very ashamed.
When the gate could not be opened, the commander ordered the soldiers to tear down the wall. However, the Mystral Temple gave the magical blessing of the "God's Domain Art" in the Mansion of Gerlos. The surrounding walls were as strong as fine gold, and the soldiers of Amn broke the iron. The hammer did not break half of the wall.
Thousands of people watching from behind began to ridicule the regular army that could not be attacked for a long time. The furious commander transferred trebuchets and alchemy bombs from the engineering camp, vowing to destroy this building that looks like a rich mansion but whose defense is comparable to a fortress. .
"If it is continuously bombarded by alchemy bombs, it won't last long even with supernatural blessings!"
The harpist mage looking towards the outside yelled anxiously: "We can't waste time anymore, we will all die here if we delay."
"retreat!"
Gerlos said immediately and decisively: "For the time being withdraw from Ascatraz, we must not reveal the identity of the harpist, and let Amn officials know that there is a secret camp of harpists in the city!"
He ordered the seven harpist mages: "The mages immediately summon the space-time maintenance. We have a teleportation array in the headquarters of the deepwater city harpist to open the space maintenance directly to the deepwater city!"
The mages immediately stood up as the five-pointed star, chanted spells, and guided the space magic power. In their center, the spiral light vortex slowly scrolled, and the space-time vascular tube slowly took shape.
"The other harpists began to pack up the documents, take away everything that can be taken away, and destroy those that can't be taken away! By the way, hurry up and take the time to tear down the temple on the first floor. Don't let the official Amn see that any harpist league is stationed. Signs of passing!"
With the retreat order issued by Gerlos, there was a busy scene in the harpist camp. The harp scouts ran around, packed the documents they collected in Amn into boxes, and then stuffed them into the dimension bag.
The masters of the harpist rushed to the first floor. The decoration on the first floor was too obvious. The demolition was very troublesome. In order to save time, they only used fireballs to smash them. go with.
But the statue of the Goddess Mystra at the center of the hall on the first floor made them difficult. This statue is more than three meters high and is carved from fine granite. A beacon of faith has been established (it can be understood as having been opened).
Because of this statue of god, the whole building has the blessing of the gods like a temple.
What about this idol?
Destroying the idol with magic, not to mention the problem of disrespect to the goddess, even if it is ruthless to destroy it, the idol of the magic goddess Mystra is immune to magic, and legendary spells can't get rid of any gravel.
It would be very inappropriate to leave the idol here. The official Amn can guess that the Harpist League once stationed here, or why quietly build a Mystra temple out?
After getting the report, Gerlos reacted quickly and ordered: Since it can't be destroyed, then take it away.
The harps raced against time and smashed the base of the statue. Many masters of the harpists blessed themselves with magical powers, and worked together to carry this multi-ton stone sculpture, shouting "hey hey yo" to carry it. To the second floor.
The time and space channel has been opened, and because the idol was removed, the effect of the Gods Domain technique disappeared. The alchemy bombs thrown by the Amn soldiers exploded the gate of the mansion, and groups of Amn soldiers lined up and rushed into the mansion.
The moment they rushed to the second floor, the last harpist mage also flashed into the space-time passage, the passage lost the magic power it maintained and was annihilated in the void.
...
The Bradlow Theater bombing was solved by a group of mysterious bandits hidden in the mansion of the great merchant Gerlos. After being surrounded by Amn’s army and armed citizens, they resisted and used unknown evil spells. The magic power was impressive. , Resisted the army's onslaught for three full hours.
When Amn's soldiers finally broke through the highly defensive gate and rushed into the mansion, the group of mysterious bandits had escaped without a trace through the time-space gate.
The bombing task force conducted a detailed inspection of the culprit’s hiding place, but because the scene was damaged too severely, no clues were found, and even the identity of the mysterious culprit became a mystery.
In order to give the citizens an explanation and avoid being criticized for being incompetent again, the Amn official can only plant a dirty "Santalin Party" for this group of mysterious gangsters, claiming that the gangsters who planned the bombing and the gangsters in the bridge area skinning case They are all accomplices, and they all intend to subvert Ammu and cause terrorist attacks in Ammu.
At this point, Amn’s biggest case of the year, the Bradlow Theater bombing, finally came to light.
Under the wise leadership of the six-member council, the city hall commanded properly. The task force pursued clues day and night. The Amn soldiers who were in charge of arresting the gangsters were brave and fearless. Finally, the gangsters who planned and carried out the bombings were picked out from their hideouts and driven away Out of Amn, a satisfactory answer was handed over to the citizens of Ascatla, and justice was done for the Bradero Theater Company.
It's really gratifying, gratifying...
