Chapter 28 Danger comes from the sky
Unfortunately, the two priests knew nothing. If they knew, they would not have to hurry to the palace. However, someone should have known it, because just in the direction of the palace, a wizard with light all over the body rose to the sky. With the help of amplification magic, the voice almost spread throughout the city.
"The blockade order, all residents of this city will immediately enter the surrounding public buildings. The main gates of the building are not allowed to be locked, and no one is allowed to refuse entry. Until the blockade order is lifted, everyone is not allowed to go out. In special circumstances, they can ask the passing city guards through doors and windows in the building, but they are not allowed to step out of the gate. Violators are punished for traitorism."
"Visitors, please try to stay in their residence and not go out, so as not to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. If you go out rashly, all the consequences will be borne by yourself."
"The city guards canceled all vacations, everyone gathered nearby and began to patrol the streets, and those who were in troubled the situation were killed on the spot."
"Everyone doesn't have to be nervous. The situation is still under control. Just wait for the problem to be solved."
"Don't he knows what happened." The mage didn't say the last sentence, but when he said the last sentence, Shuer shook his head and sighed. If he had really been sure that the situation would not get out of control, he would definitely explain it briefly to calm people's hearts, but what he said was so vague, there was only one explanation, that is, he was lying, "Who is this crystal energy lamp?"
"A naive ghost, naive ghost." Intentionally hiding on the other side of Shur to avoid two outsiders, Savre replied in a low voice, "That is the palace mage Master Solaren, and his majesty the Emperor's naturalist teacher."
"It seems that many forces have gathered in the palace." Xiuer looked up at the still dim sky, "This Water Curtain Festival is really lively."
Indeed, it was precisely because many people had arrived that Sorahn did not stop all forces from continuing to gather in the palace. He knew that he had no stop and could not stop them. Among the guests who visited recently, there were more than a dozen legendary strong men among the priests who served the Lord God. Everyone had little strength gap and were all leaders of one force. He did not want to offend these strange-tempered apostles of gods, so he didn't even mention them.
However, it seems that the Empire has a strong control over the Lion City. A simple blockade order can control the situation. His announcement is very effective. Not long after he finished speaking, more than half of the citizens running around the streets were missing. The rest were also panicked and searching for buildings to hide. The streets became deserted all of a sudden. Shuer and the others didn't have to jump around on the roof.
"It's getting darker and darker." Ferrus seemed to know what Sul was thinking, and looked up at the sky, "I'm afraid the heart of the city won't last long."
"What happens if you collapse?" Shuer frowned and asked, "It is said that the heart of the city, which is blessed by the gods, will not collapse so casually, and the record does not describe the result of the collapse."
Once the heart of the city is planted, even if the body is destroyed, this concept will still be retained in the planted position and will not be invalidated. In other words, the heart of the city will basically not be destroyed. However, the concept of the heart of the city is not unaffected, but its function is not unaffected. After all, the energy carried by a carrier is limited. Once it is under excessive pressure in a short period of time, the heart of the city will be overloaded, and overload protection will be entered overload over time. It takes a period of self-repair before it can re-exert function.
This is the self-protection function of the heart of the city, and there have been precedents in history. In the records, there have been four overload protections of the heart of the city, but no detailed records are left.
"Because everyone present is dead." Camill, the Bishop of the God of War, who has been silent, suddenly said intermittently in a common phrase with a strong orc accent. "Of course it is impossible to leave a record. The threat is so strong that even the heart of the city can be suppressed. How many mortals outside the demigod can survive?"
"Well, just like this time." Ferres also echoed, "Although I don't know the reason, the heart of the city has really been broken. Unless the luck is good enough and the threat just disappears, we may have a first-line chance to survive, and you golden territories, I'm afraid..."
It was very serious, but Ferrus was not nervous because he had only a glimmer of hope. Not only him, but even Camill beside him was just as ignorant and ignored life and death. The will of these strong men had long been as hard as steel, and they could handle it calmly even in the most dangerous situation.
"That idiot Roland." I don't know who Roland was in Camille's mouth. Maybe it's the Emerald Empire that I don't know which generation of emperors. "The ancestors have long reminded him that the protective effect of the Heart of the City cannot be set so high. Appropriately weakening the effect will increase the danger in the city, but when you encounter trouble, you will not be as overloaded as you are now."
"As a result, this idiot didn't listen to anything. He said that it could not protect the citizens from harm, which would seriously affect the prestige of the Lionheart family. Humph, if the protection effect was set lower at that time, it would indeed affect many people in the city now, but it would not be fatal enough. At the same time, the overload of the heart of the city would never happen. Now, all citizens will die by then, and they don't have to worry about the damage to the prestige of the family, because they can't live. No wonder the stubborn fool breaks with him."
Well, I have heard that the relationship between the Empire and the Orcs is very uneven, and it seems that there are historical reasons.
"His Excellency Shuer, here." It is hard to imagine that a huge figure with muscles could have so much to say. Along the way, the orc Camille's contempt for the Lionheart family, so that the palace was right in front of him, no one noticed it until he heard Orlanna's old voice.
As soon as I looked up, I saw that there were twenty or thirty people gathered in the square in front of the palace, most of whom were dressed in priests. Obviously, these were the guests who came to participate in the Water Curtain Festival.
"These are all friends who come to attend the celebration, and the representatives of the twenty-four Lord Gods have come. Alas, the flowing water is coming, and it is really... "
"Master Oranna, please don't say it if you are polite." Shur's eyes swept across everyone. There were nearly thirty people, including at least ten legendary levels, and the rest were all golden-level powerful people. This scale is an extremely terrifying force in any country. It is hard to imagine that there are problems that this group of people cannot solve. However, Shur is very clear that his strength is not so reliable. There are too many things in this world that cannot be solved. Even if he is as strong as a demigod, he dare not say that he can control everything, let alone there are only a dozen legends. Therefore, the most important thing now... "What happened? I think even the palace mage Solaren, do you know?"
"This is His Excellency Solaren." Wendy pointed to the person standing beside her. Solaren, in gray robe, was hiding under her hood, full of mystery. "We are not sure yet, but the danger comes from the sky."
"Hmm?" Shul was stunned. He thought it was a mysterious threat like the Great Rift or Ghost Space or a raid from mythical giant beasts, but since Oranna clearly stated that the danger came from the sky, it might not be these two threats, otherwise she would explain it directly, and would not be so vague. "Can you say it more clearly?"
"To be precise, it's light." Oranna said with a grudgeless face, "His Excellency Solaren left the shield of the heart of the city and went out to investigate. As for the result..."
Solaren lifted his hood, with big and strange scars on his face, which looked a bit like a burn, but if it was a burn, Oranna could heal it with a wave of his hand, so that there would be no obvious trace left. No wonder he kept hiding his face under the hood.
"His Excellency Solaren just stayed outside the heart of the city for three minutes and suffered severe trauma. His face was exposed, so the condition was the most serious. Although his body was covered by clothes, he was also seriously injured."
Shuer frowned and suddenly bowed deeply to Sorahn. Suff, who was beside him, also bowed tacitly with him and greeted him: "I'm sorry, I apologize to you."
"Huh?" Solaren was unclear, so of course he wouldn't know that Shuer apologized for calling him Crystal Nugget behind his back. As a legendary strong man, he could easily get money, status, freedom, all of which were almost at the top of a mortal. However, when he encountered a crisis, he did not worry about what he had. In order to find the reason, he dared to go out to face the threat that even the heart of the city could not confront. Shuer believed that he deserved respect for such a person.
"Nothing." Of course, I was embarrassed to tell the reason. Shuer smiled casually and changed the subject, "It's a troublesome to treat this injury?"
"It's really troublesome." Oranna was not in the mood to beat around the bush and replied directly, "It can be cured with my ability, but it will take at least several days to continue treatment."
"Hiss, what's going on?" Shur frowned. The Temple of Water is a professional healing temple, more professional than the Temple of Dark Moon. Oranna is also a bishop of the legendary level. It can be said that as long as the person is not dead, it can be cured in her hands. However, even she needs to be treated for several days in a row, which shows how serious the injury is.
"As never seen before, there seems to be a strange force that destroys his body from within." Orlanner said, shaking his head. "This kind of destruction is persistent and directly affects every part of his body, a bit like the result of being influenced by cursed metal, if metaphorically."
"Huh." Shul sighed. Cursed metal was very fatal to damage, "Just being illuminated?"
