"Do you think there is something wrong here?" Just when a result was discussed and everyone was about to swear according to the organization's secret ceremony, a middle-aged man wearing a senior officer badge suddenly said.
The middle-aged man's sudden inquiry made everyone present feel a little puzzled. They looked at each other, and they all said that there was nothing wrong.
However, the middle-aged man did not relax on this. His face was full of tension. In the eyes of everyone, he quickly walked to the window and looked out of the window.
Middle-aged people seem to have a high influence among these people. When he showed tension, others around him became nervous, watching the middle-aged people one by one, waiting for his response.
The middle-aged man didn't find anything out of the window that made him feel wrong, but cautiously he still didn't give up looking for any suspicious place.
"Something wrong!" The middle-aged man suddenly opened the window, pointed at the pedestrian on the street outside, and said, "Do you think they are a little weird?"
People around him immediately found a window and looked out, but they couldn't see any strange places on the street. If they do not know very well that the middle-aged person is not a nervous person, they must have discovered something so serious.
"Look at their shadow." The middle-aged man knew that his colleagues around him did not see the abnormal situation, so he reminded.
Under the reminder of middle-aged people, all the people found a strange situation. The shadows of the pedestrians on the streets are all distorted, unlike the shadows of normal people.
"What's going on?" After everyone discovered the anomaly, they didn't feel any danger. They just thought it was a strange phenomenon.
"I don't know, but this is definitely not a good thing." The middle-aged man also shook his head blankly, and there was a strong uneasiness in his heart. Under the influence of this uneasiness, he proposed: "Leave here first. "
Although the middle-aged people feel a little fussed, everyone did not reject the proposal of the middle-aged people. After all, the things to be discussed have been discussed. The next step is how to implement it.
So the crowd left the room in groups, went downstairs, and walked out of the tavern.
"Damn? What's going on?" Soon these people were stunned by the strange thing that happened in front of them, because the people who had just walked out of the door suddenly came back and bumped into the people who wanted to leave behind. Together, people later found that the street outside the door disappeared and replaced the inside of the first floor of the tavern. Except for nobody, the other furnishings were exactly the same.
Someone didn't believe in evil, and tried to go out, and anyway, he would eventually return to the tavern. According to their description, at the moment when they crossed the door, the scene in their eyes would change instantly. The originally empty pub on the first floor was filled by people, and they returned to the pub again.
Some people saw that they couldn't walk through the main entrance, so they put their idea on the window and tried to climb the window to leave, but the result is still the same, they will still return to the tavern.
Except for a few people with stable personality who can still remain calm, most of them have a panic look on their faces. After all, what happened in front of them is beyond their understanding.
"This may be witchcraft." At this time, the middle-aged man who first discovered the anomaly seemed to have some understanding of the dark world. When everyone was still in a panic, he said one that made everyone feel The absurd answer.
"Claude, you just studied these things before, don't take them out to make trouble now." Someone said with great dissatisfaction.
For these mid-level officers of the navy, the so-called gods, wizards, monsters, etc. are all deceptive gossips. They have not yet reached the qualifications to contact these things. Although they often hear some similar rumors, they all Just talking about such things as some common urban legends.
In addition, because of naval reform. The navy is free from the religious influence of the Church of Poseidon. All officers are from the Royal Academy and are the most loyal academics. So in their eyes, the so-called miracles of the church are just some blind eyes. The legendary witchcraft, Monsters are definitely all tricks.
But not all officers know nothing about the dark world. Among these officers, except for the middle-aged person who spoke first, several other organization candidates and senior officers have more or less been in contact with this Such things and materials, so when the middle-aged people said that the situation in front of them was related to witchcraft, they did not express doubts, but instead showed a dignified look on their faces.
"Shut up!" While the middle-aged people questioned the middle-aged people, an organizational candidate suddenly stopped the questioning of everyone, and then asked the middle-aged person: "You think this is special Did the bureau do it, or did the royal family do it?"
Unlike the low-level and low-level officers around him, this organization candidate is already a high-level officer. He has received more or less news that the reason why Hoover Hansen will be assassinated is because the royal family and Congress are dissatisfied with the navy. I'm involved in politics, so I will directly address the naval heroes who are most likely to make a political difference, and warn some ambitious people within the navy.
Originally, this organization candidate did not think that such rumors were true, but now the situation makes him feel that those rumors may be true, because he knows that there is a wizard under the royal family that is dedicated to the royal family and is a real wizard. .
"Unclear." The middle-aged man named Claude shook his head blankly.
After listening to several organization candidates, their faces became very ugly, and they glanced at each other, because in their view, if the people in the special bureau made this situation, they might still have a way of life, but if it was the royal family If so, their ending may only be the same as their leader.
Just as the navy officers in the tavern were in chaos, Leo was sitting in the coffee house opposite the tavern, waiting quietly for the time to end.
His mood also relaxed a lot at this time, because when he said that these officers under Hoover Hansen were trapped in the tavern, the black silk thread that had fallen in the sky had almost disappeared, and only a few thin gray silk threads were scattered. Distributed in every corner of the city, obviously these have nothing to do with that disaster.
Now what Leo has to do is to wait for the time to pass until the catastrophe caused by the struggle for power in the upper kingdom is completely over.
As time passed, the sky gradually darkened, and the lighters lit the street lights. Some rich people living in the Queens District walked on the streets in decent clothes, and some gorgeous ladies dressed in their best carriages. , Heading towards the Central Grand Theater in the Ladies District in the lake.
The gate of the closed sea spear tavern did not attract anyone's attention, because although this is a public tavern, it is also a private club. In the past, it has been closed for private parties.
During this time, some people wearing navy military uniforms came outside the tavern, only to see that the tavern door was tightly closed. After knocking on the door, they did not enter again.
When this person appeared, he caught Leo's attention, because there was a black silk thread on top of this person's head, but when the man turned around and left, the black silk thread disappeared. It seems that this person should be the one sent by the Navy to inform Hoover Hansen. The assassin who killed Hoover Hansen was Mitty Grant.
After falling into the night, a small daily behavior from the royal family caused a little accident.
After nightfall, the royal family will occasionally let the old wizard Otto scan the entire city of Turin through the wizard tower. Its function is similar to Leo’s spiritual net, but it is not as hidden as the spiritual net, but it is very public. When glancing, the energy waves emanating from the wizard tower and the surrounding energy collide with each other, which will produce a brilliant light like aurora.
The reason for the royal family is nothing more than to want to warn those in the dark world of Turin City, let them be honest, but also to show the royal family's heritage and strength.
However, for those of unknown reason, this is a visual feast, a blessing from heaven to Dulin City, and it has become a late night scene in Dulin City over time.
There is no doubt that when this wave of energy swept through the Seaspear tavern, Leo’s Turing magic circle arranged here inevitably had friction with this glance energy.
This kind of friction did not cause any adverse effects on the magic array arranged by Leo, but the flame produced by the energy friction was extremely eye-catching. To the ordinary people, the entire Sea Spear Tavern was as if it were surrounded by a colorful flame. It hasn't dispersed for a long time, so that a large number of people looking at the lively crowd soon.
Leo knew at the moment when the anomaly appeared that something was a little in trouble, so before others paid attention to it, he changed the Turing magic array of the Sea Spear Tavern and added a few special symbols. The text trap strengthens the power of the entire magic circle.
Although the colorful flames surrounding the tavern have also faded away with the passage of time, the crowd gathered here has not decreased. Some curious people want to enter the tavern to see, or knock on the door, or the window, but they There was no response. If someone wasn’t staring, maybe some of the good guys among them had climbed upstairs along the pillars to see if they could enter the tavern through the open windows above.
However, these good deeds were soon dispelled, because the police, the special bureau, and the navy people all arrived here one after another.
When they arrived, they did not rush into the tavern, but dispersed the surrounding crowds. The police were instructed to set up a blockade at the outermost periphery to prevent other unrelated people from entering. The Special Bureau and the internal investigation team of the Navy were responsible for the internal Business investigation.
Although the Special Bureau and the naval investigation team belong to the official kingdom, their relationship seems to be very bad. After dispersing the onlookers and instructing the people who left the police, the two sides disputed each other.
The Special Bureau stated that this was an event caused by extraordinary powers. All the extraordinary powers in the kingdom were managed by the Special Bureau, and the Navy Investigation Team believed that this tavern was a naval general’s industry and a private club for naval officers. This pub is handed over to the Special Bureau.
When the two sides could not dispute, the royal people also came, and the royal people led the old wizard Otto, but this time he did not wear the eye-catching wizard robe, but a very ordinary Gown jacket.
No wonder the royal family is so concerned, because the energy friction reaction between the rune magic circle of the tavern and the wizard tower is too large, and it also appears very abrupt, which makes the royal family have to pay attention to the situation here.
After coming here, the old wizard Otto did not participate in the competition for the jurisdiction of the tavern. He just looked at the tavern, and he already had a view in his heart. Then he turned to look around, and his sight fell not far away. Leo in a cafe.
"Mr. Leo, is this your handwriting?" Otto, the old wizard, signaled his men to disperse to maintain order, then walked to Leo and asked.
"Yes." Leo nodded and admitted truthfully.
"Someone offended the lord in the tavern?" The old wizard sat next to Leo, picked up the teapot on the table to a cup of tea, and then asked tentatively.
"No." Leo responded briefly.
"Then you do this..." The old wizard looked at Leo puzzled.
"This is not yet a trouble caused by your royal family and Congress." Leo waited angrily for the old wizard, leaving the old wizard blank, and had no idea what Leo meant.
When Leo saw the expression of the old wizard~EbookFREE.me~, he was stunned and reached out to gather psionic energy to quickly draw a Turing root in the air, forming an environment that isolates the sound, and then Shen Sheng smelled: "You don't know about the assassination of Hoover Hansen?"
"Assassination of Hoover Hansen?" The old wizard was completely stunned by Leo's words. How could he never imagine that Leo's blockade of this tavern had anything to do with Hoover Hansen's assassination motion.
Although the old wizard stayed in the wizard tower all year round and rarely participated in the politics of the kingdom, he was also very aware of how much sensation caused by the assassination of Hoover Hansen in the kingdom some time ago and how much it caused Big influence.
Like all ordinary people who do not understand the situation, he also thinks that the assassin of Hoover Hansen is the avengers of Mosang mainland, but now from Leo’s words, he discovered that things may not be as he expected. It's as simple as that, which seems to involve the royal family and Congress.
With a brain of doubt and curiosity, the old wizard couldn't help but ask about the cause and effect, and Leo was not stingy. He carefully told what he knew and speculated, and the old wizard frowned.
There is no doubt that from any point of view, the practices of the royal family and Congress are despicable and shameless, and the bad consequences brought about by people simply want to kill the people who carry out this matter.
The old wizard had no doubt that the weapon Leo said could destroy the whole city, because he had seen similar weapons in the notes of the wizard of the tower, he now was in awe of the power of this mysterious weapon, More in my heart is the anger that almost inexplicably died from the rights struggle of some people.
