Chapter 1402: On the sidelines

At the same time, in the lounge of the Birdtail Flower Hotel near the station, Sylvia ordered some snacks and drinks for the three of them. Then, while eating, they leisurely flipped through the newspapers they had just delivered.
Petunia did not practice any, but was holding a book of Common Language Learning Book that Leo asked the hotel waiter to buy from a nearby bookstore to learn various common languages.
What happened yesterday has revealed some problems with Petunia. She is just a countryman from a small southern country, and she does not have enough mastery of her own language, let alone other languages.
Yesterday she took Leo’s expenses to her when she went out for a short time, and she was targeted because she did not understand the local dialect of the Nice people, nor the common language popular in the north of the New World. She could easily recognize it at a glance. She is an outsider, and some people who are unpredictable naturally follow her.
If it wasn't for those who wanted to kidnap him to miscalculate her strength and give her a chance to do it, maybe she had fallen into that magic cave, and when Leo rushed over, she couldn't figure out what happened.
So last night, Leo re-formulated Petunia's study plan. In addition to the daily psionic training, she must also learn the most popular and commonly used lingua franca in the world.
Although there are as many as seven common languages ​​in the world, four in the Old World and three in the New World, the meanings of most of these common words are conceivable, but the pronunciation is slightly different due to different accents in different regions. So as long as you can fully master one lingua franca, it is not so difficult to learn other lingua franca.
The reason why I chose to let Penny learn the lingua franca of the New World is because the lingua franca centered on Nice is the most popular lingua franca in the world, and the pronunciation of this lingua franca is closer to the ocean of the old continent. Common language pronunciation, as long as you master the Northland Common Language and go to the Old World to learn the Old World Common Language pronunciation a little bit, you can easily integrate into the life of the Old World.
After flipping through the two newspapers, Leo lost his interest. On the contrary, he was more interested in the scenes on the streets outside the window. Compared with the city of Nice yesterday, the streets of Nice today are obviously a lot nervous, almost every street The entrance is guarded by police and city guards, and there are also many knights patrolling the streets. The people on the streets seem to know what is going on, and they don’t feel much disgusted with the current situation. Instead, they will be stopped and asked. When inquiring, actively cooperate with the inquiry.
Although Leo didn't use the mental network or other extraordinary perceptions to understand what was going on outside the hotel, he could faintly feel that this might be related to what he did last night.
"Look at this report." At this moment, Sylvia suddenly took out a newspaper and handed it to Leo, and said, pointing to the front page of the newspaper.
Leo took a quick look at the past, did not say anything, just nodded slightly.
"Why did you kill them all?" Sylvia asked with some confusion.
"They are performing a sacrifice ceremony for the evil gods," Leo said briefly: "The troupe is full of children's bones."
Sylvia nodded after listening, saying nothing more.
Leo then picked up several newspapers and looked at them. Almost all the major newspapers were able to receive news in advance, and were able to report in detail about the Moshi Troupe, while the tabloid newspapers had no relevant reports due to the news blockade.
Among the major newspapers that reported on the Moshi troupe, one newspaper used all the pages to report on the Moshi troupe's related information. This also gave Leo a better understanding of the Cthulhu troupe that he slaughtered last night. A general understanding, and what surprised him was that this Moshi troupe was also related to the famous twelve heroes in Nice.
You know, in all the books about the history of the New World that Leo has read, the Acropolis War in Nice will inevitably occupy an important space. When dividing history, some historians even regard the Acropolis War in Nice as The dividing line between ancient history and modern history, before the Acropolis War is ancient history, and after the Acropolis War is modern history.
Although most of the descriptions of the Acropolis War in these history books are dramatic and romantic, describing that war into an epic poem, but from these exaggerated descriptions, any reader can still feel that. The cruelty of the war.
Before the war, Nice was the only city in the New World with a population of one million. After the war, the population of Nice was only a few hundred thousand, of which nearly 80% were elderly, women and children, and there were only over 10,000 adult men.
Two of the six confederates that invaded the city of Nice perished within ten years, and the other four declined one after another. They are now dependent states of other countries. Although the decline of these countries is also due to other factors, they must not Not to mention that the Acropolis War of Nice, which ended in failure, was the fuse of all factors.
Leo also studied the trend of the Acropolis War in Nice because of his curiosity, and the chant of the Acropolis of Domingo, which was a turning point, was naturally his focus. He even found some books about Domingo's life for this.
However, it is strange that almost all books describe Domingo as a bard and chant master with knight strength, but they never mention what extraordinary power Domingo has mastered, or even The phenomenon of Domingo's divine punishment that caused multiple gods is also regarded as the divine punishment punishing those who invaded the city of Nice, but there is a contradiction that all the books describe the divine punishment in an incomparably unified description of Domingo.
If, after careful consideration, it is not difficult to discover, the divine punishment for killing Domingo and the other invaders and generals is actually directed at Domingo, and those invaders are just the innocent people who have been affected, and the one who has passed The chant caused countless miracles, and the person regarded as a hero was attacked by the divine punishment, and it was the divine punishment of several gods, then this person absolutely needs to perform unimaginable blasphemy behaviors to cause such consequences.
Before the Moshi Theater, Leo could not figure out the contradictory relationship here, but now if Domingo and the Moshi Theater he founded are linked together, the previous doubts will be easily solved. Obviously, Domingo becomes the acropolis. Before the hero, he was a believer of the evil god, and a believer of the evil to the extreme.
Even Leo felt that Domingo caused the divine punishment not for the victory of the Acropolis War, more likely for other purposes, such as taking this opportunity to completely hide himself. Not much attention, and the actual situation is not too different. In this kind of situation where the world is paying attention, many things cannot be done, so it is necessary to use some method to make the world think that he is dead, and then he can hide in the dark. Keep doing something.
Thinking of this, Leo couldn't help but mutter to himself: "If I went in and checked it carefully yesterday, I might be able to find any clues."
"It's right that you didn't go in, otherwise we might have to stay here for a few more days." Sylvia cut a piece of fruit, handed it to Leo, and said.
While speaking, a hotel waiter walked in from outside, looked for it in the lounge, and they immediately came over when they saw Leo.
When he came to the three of them, he saluted Leo and Sylvia, then took out a few ferry tickets, put them on the table, and said: "Mr. Leo, Ms. Sylvia, I have The three booked the cruise ship to depart three days later. It was the Sanctuary cruise ship. It was the most luxurious and largest cruise ship on the Liszt River. It belonged to the Tarikat family. This family has been in the ferry industry for more than 50 years. There has not been an accident on the Liszt River."
"Why didn't you book a ticket for the steam train?" Sylvia asked after looking at the ticket.
The waiter smiled and replied:
Now it’s the Festival of Hope, a large number of tourists are traveling, and the luxury cars of the train have basically been booked half a month ago. I guess the three would not like to squeeze those ordinary cars. ?"
After listening, Sylvia didn't ask anything more, took out a few tips and handed them to the waiter.
After the waiter left, Penistan, who had been frowning and reading, suddenly spoke and said, "He is lying."
Leo heard this, looked at Petunia in a little surprise, and said, "How do you know he is lying?"
"I don't know, it just feels like he's lying." Petunia said with a dazed expression.
Leo smiled and applauded: "It seems that you are really talented, and you have already stimulated new talented psionic skills so soon, but you just have a prototype now. Keep it going. When will you be able to Accurately perceive all the emotions in others' hearts, and your talented psionic skills will be fully formed."
Petunia did not fully understand Leo's meaning, she just nodded her head habitually, and then continued to question: "Why is he clearly lying, but we don't expose him?"
"Because it is not necessary, and he is not lying." Silvia explained: "First of all, it must be true that the carriages were booked before the Hope Festival, but the train company must have left some extra carriages for accidents. , Just want to book these extra carriages may require some status and power, and this hotel is obviously not qualified, so they will retreat and choose a large cruise ship. For us, the purpose is to go to Sainte-Pelia It doesn’t make any difference whether to go to Hong Kong by steam train or by ship, so there is no need to care about these little things."
As soon as Sylvia’s voice fell, she and Leo looked out the window at the same time. Judging from their eyes, they seemed to be looking at something interesting, and Penistan also held out his head curiously. Looking outside, she didn’t see anything interesting to her. On the ordinary streets, people came and went, and there was nothing worthy of attention, but the expressions of Leo and Sylvia told her that there was something good outside. Something to look at.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of a psionic technique Leo had taught her, so she tried to stimulate a certain part of the eye through psychic energy, so that the eyeball would produce some kind of extraordinary power.
As she displayed this kind of psychic skills, the surrounding scene changed in an instant. At this moment, the lounge, which was originally renovated, looked like dozens or hundreds of years. Scattered like rags, except for the tables and chairs that they sat on, the other tables and chairs were all tattered and old, and there was no one around.
Immediately afterwards, there was an inhuman roar outside the window, and accompanied by a series of slight vibrations, when Petunia looked outside, she found that there was no one on the street, or more correctly, it was a No ordinary people.
I saw that there were five knights wearing church armors shining all kinds of light, and the knight’s sword in their hands exuded all kinds of weird aerosols, some of them resembled flames, and some of them felt like poison. And these church knight assassins are surrounding a black-robed weird person. This black-robed weird constantly emits a black air that looks extremely evil. In the black air, there is also a monster looming, and he makes a sound of nonsense. The roar of the person is from that monster.
This black-robed man was obviously unwilling to have a conflict with these church knights, and was trying to end the conflict through negotiations, but the church knights did not let him off at all. While the other party was still talking, two of them The knight threw a few chains made by divine arts from his hand to lock the black-robed man, and at the same time other church knights also rushed towards the black-robed man in a tacit understanding.
Seeing that the matter could not be resolved peacefully, the black-robed man didn’t leave his hands anymore, and instantly absorbed the black mist around his body into his body. Following the rapid expansion of his body, he became a nearly six or seven meters long with five arms and three heads. Monster.
The magic chain that had bound the monster was broken away instantly, and the monster's five arms also hit the several church knights who rushed over.
The church knight evaded the attack perfectly with an inhuman twisted body. UU read www.uukavanshu.com and took advantage of the large and slow movements of the opponent, and rushed to the feet of the monster without any reduction, with the long sword in his hand facing The monster's Achilles tendons slashed over both feet.
The monster’s Achilles tendon faced the long sword attached to the divine power, and was cut open without any resistance. This made the monster unable to support the huge upper body and fell directly to the ground, while another church knight rushed nearby. He also took the opportunity to jump directly on the monster's back, before the monster reacted, rushed to the head and neck, and inserted a sword into the monster's head. The monster didn't even show any decent resistance, and fell to the ground.
However, from the monster's situation, although the head sword made it lose the ability to move, it is not fatal, the eyes can still move normally, and the throat can continue to roar with fear and anger.
After the monster fell, the two church knights who threw the magic chains again used the chains to bind the monsters together, and the supernatural power attached to the chains suppressed the monster's body a little bit, reducing it to the size of a normal person, and then a few others. The church knight dragged the monster to a carriage with a completely enclosed carriage and engraved with divine texts on the surface. He threw the monster into the enclosed carriage behind the carriage, then jumped into the carriage and drove away from the scene quickly. After these church knights left, the streets that had been empty were repopulated, and the old buildings were restored to their original state.
