Vol 2 Chapter 169: The "drama" before the disaster (Part 1)

When the sun rises again from the eastern horizon, it is no longer the sun in the midsummer that envelopes Ebden, but the decay that exudes decay and decay. ◇ ↓ 3 ◇ ↓ jiangge ◇ ↓ small ◇ ↓ said,
As the appearance of "cannibal monsters" becomes more and more frequent, this rumor of "frightening children" is becoming more and more creepy. The Liberty Council has also begun to mobilize patrol guards to go to civilian areas in the south of the city to block the streets and locations where accidents occur, but even if they can block the streets, it is impossible to block everyone's mouth.
In the end, even the Nancheng Gate had to be temporarily closed, and chased the "rumors" beggars and homeless people, and blocked the south of the city, blocking all the roads on both sides with temporary walls and various fences. .
If there was a nine-pointed star wizard tower to help, the Liberty Council could have directly ordered that the wizards of the wizard tower use the high-level spell "Will of Rock" to divide the entire Ebden into two, which is also the most safe. But because of the two church bills that were forcibly passed, the wizard tower completely withdrew from the free council, and the nine-mang star wizard tower was blocked. They can't even command a decent wizard now!
The Liberty Council can also use the name of
non-compliance
to forcibly arrest the wizards of the Nine-Mansions Witch Tower. But the problem is that they are all shrunk in the Sorcerer Towers, and the Nine-Mansions Sorcerer Tower itself has been standing for hundreds of years. The fortress is well-maintained and well-maintained, and an elite mercenary regiment of more than 600 people is hired all year round!
Of course, even if you want to fight it, it is not impossible, then? Once this "outlier" behavior is done, the two sides will be completely torn apart. This is definitely not the history of Eboden that the nobles of the Free Parliament want to see. Both sides have also experienced many cold wars, and collective withdrawal from Parliament It happened, but quarreling, awkwardness and war were two different things.
More importantly, these nobles of Eboden also need wizards without pharmacists and herbalists, and their medicine shops have to close down. There is no alchemist in their medicine. Their workshops are a bunch of furnishings and workers who only make parts. No one knows how to maintain the water supply system in those cities, lost all kinds of novel alchemy products, and their caravan can no longer earn a gold coin!
Knowledge and gold are the bonds that hold Ebden's survival to the civilians in the south of the city ... that's just "consumables" and a lot of trouble. At least these nobles think so.
Therefore, when the mutant monster appeared, the first thought of the Freedom Council was to block the city, wait until the relationship with the wizard tower eased, and then discuss with the wizard how to solve the matter.
But the biggest charm of this world is that it never allows anyone to please ...
"Holy Cross believers, pious and kind people, look at your situation! Look at what you are experiencing now, and then look at how poor you are treated?"
Just behind the cordon, a priest in a gold-red priest costume was shouting to the civilians gathered around him, spitting stars, and dancing with his passionate hands:
"Can these barbaric mercenaries who bow down to the nobles and wizards for the gold coins be forgiven ?!"
"Can the wizards who hide in the tower all day long and contemplate the conspiracy and all kinds of terrible potions be tolerated ?!"
"They let those terrible monsters run wild in the city, but ignore you, are you ready to sit and die ?!"
"Are you going to watch where you live and be ruled by evil monsters ?!"
The priest became more and more excited, and the look around him became more and more eager, and his expression became more and more crazy: "No, this is absolutely not possible! So as a servant of the Holy Cross, I must tell you the truth, why those nobles Must block this place to prevent the news from spreading? Is it because these are the ghosts of the wizards! "
"Their potions have polluted the city ’s water sources, and the fake drugs they made have turned the poor people into terrible monsters! Do you know why you have to suffer these? Because noble masters have to count on these blasphemous wizards to help them make money ! "
"No one of them will tell the truth, only you, only you can rush out, break the blockade of these wizards’ accomplices, and bring the truth out! Do n’t be afraid of the pain of death, everyone who sacrifices for justice will be holy Bless the cross and honor his kingdom! "
The surrounding atmosphere became more and more eager, the poor and the homeless people gathered around the priest, and the eyes of the guards who looked at the blockade line became more and more cruel, and the atmosphere seemed to become frozen at this moment.
I noticed that some of the wrong guards were also gathering, taken at the recently-increasing Holy Cross Church, they did not take the initiative to drive these gathered civilians, but they also lined up behind the fence and the refusal, using shields and The crossbow forms a line of defense, beware of these guys who may become thugs at any time.
The string is already tight!
.............................. "These people are fools, or are they completely crazy ?!"
The crowded streets, the female night watchman hiding in a loft stared with big eyes, and looked at the poor people who were gathered together easily by the priest. At first, it seemed that he just wanted to vent his dissatisfaction, but now it is completely a pair Always be ready to impact the posture of the cordon!
"Even I can see that the priest simply wanted to use them to die!" The indignant Vera could not help shouting: "Why didn't even one find this ?!"
"Because the priest said everything is true ... for them." Indifferent Edward rubbed the scar on his face, and the pharmacist who healed him while in prison was an apprentice: "It is useless to explain to civilians. They can only understand the simplest truth, they just believe what they are willing to believe. "
"Even the Eboden people know that the wizards are dealing with some very dangerous gadgets, but it is because of this, so when the priest tells them, they will be convinced."
"Even if this is the case, will these sticks be fooled to death ?!"
"Otherwise what can they do?"
Edward, who used to be in the ditch lane, glanced at her coldly: "The Liberty Council has abandoned them and replaced them with you being in such a blocked street that is full of cannibals. Would you choose to continue Sit back and wait? "
Vera, who wanted to refute, saw his eyes and was speechless for a while.
"... So what shall we do?" The night watchman was silent for a moment before continuing to ask: "Just watched these people slaughtered by the patrol guard ?!"
"Before they hit the blockade line, the patrol guards did not dare to hand over the free council and issued only the blockade, not the slaughter of civilians." Edward pondered for a moment and made a final judgment:
"Let's look at the situation first ~ EbookFREE.me ~ If there is a riot ... retreat from here immediately and return to the nine-man star wizard tower to report."
"But ..." Vera couldn't bear it.
"We are not here to save them!" Edward glared at her: "Don't forget our identity. We are not the savior, nor the perpetrators of their persecution! We are only night watchmen, no one is counting on you to protect them! A little more realistic Come on, do your own good job and save your life! "
The two calmed down and continued to monitor the increasingly tense street below the street. What Vera did not know is that in a few places farther away, almost every church is surrounded by such a group of poor and troubled homeless people, and there are more people walking on the street to promote these poor people. The priest and priest of the truth.
The reason why Edward chose to monitor here is not only because it is closest to the blockade, but also because it is one of the easiest places to retreat.
Never, do n’t do extra things, live first. This is Edward ’s life credo.
