Chapter 62: The Great Violence in the Imperial Capital // Chaos
Chapter 62: The Great Riot of the Imperial Capital
After a baptism of a heavy rain yesterday, the entire imperial capital looked completely renewed. With the cool and comfortable weather, many people walked out of the house early in the morning and went out to breathe fresh air.
Many people talked about the topics in yesterday's live broadcast with relish. Vegetable vendors in the market kept shouting while sorting out their own containers. Many shops made a cup of coffee and lie on their back chairs to watch some magazines produced by the News Broadcast to pass the time while also expanding their horizons. Even many students from Paul Academy would always look at the "unsolved mystery of the mainland" or "common sense answers to the Arctic Iceland" during the period before training.
All of this textual content is produced by the News Broadcast. Due to the large number of categories involved, the News Broadcast has grown rapidly, and even several departments have been divided into the News Broadcast.
However, since it has only developed for one month, the news broadcast has not yet penetrated into the entire continent, and has only been operating in some towns around the imperial capital. Moreover, whether it is magazines, unsolved mysteries of the mainland, or life tips, etc., they are still in the early stage of immatureness. Whether it is the neatness of the section, the comfort of the text or the richness of the content, they still seem a bit monotonous.
However, no one would suspect that all this would stop developing. Sooner or later, the news broadcast will always develop to the whole continent, and will gradually improve in some aspects of the content. Lin Feng believes, Byron believes, and people in the entire imperial capital believe.
After all, this is a new thing, and people are always curious about new things.
In just one month, the people in the imperial capital have become unable to live without the life of the news broadcast, and many new things brought to them have made them deeply fall into it and cannot extricate themselves.
With this momentum, a series of peripheral products have also entered the market in a low-key manner under Byron's operation...
It can be said that this morning after the rain is full of harmony.
However, such harmony lasted for less than two hours and was completely broken.
I don’t know who passed by the cemetery not far from the west of the imperial capital early in the morning, but found that there was already a piece of mud outside the cemetery.
Anyone knows that there is a layer of floor tiles in the cemetery, and only the tombs are buried. However, with the cover of the tomb, no matter how heavy the rain is, it will not rush out of the mud, let alone the entire cemetery outside the entire cemetery.
However, people who noticed this phenomenon may have been afraid because of fear, and did not dare to enter the cemetery to observe the actual situation. Only the phenomenon of "the cemetery is full of mud" has spread among the people.
People always have curiosity and fear of unknown things. The cemetery is already covered with a mysterious color in people's psychology. In addition, the cemetery is buried with their ancestors. When the news about the cemetery was heard, it immediately spread in everyone's mouths at a hot speed!
However, many things will always be gradually exaggerated without detailed background, or even change their taste. After only more than an hour, under such crazy rumors, there are all things to say. For a moment, it turned out that an extremely simple thing on the surface has been circulated into several versions.
Some say that the storm last night was too heavy and it washed away the cover of the tomb; some say that some people deliberately dug some sand and soil around the cemetery overnight to create the sensation today; some even say that the first person to spread this incident was the one who really created the sensation. In short, countless versions have been circulated in people's mouths.
Among them, the most convincing thing that is also the most ferocious among the people is "Someone disrespects the cemetery and offends the gods, so the gods let the heavy rainstorm blow up the entire cemetery."
After all, most people still don’t want to believe that this matter is deliberately created by someone, especially in this era of believing in the God of Light, the mysterious cemetery cannot help but be associated with the gods who are revered and feared in their hearts. The most important thing is that the cemetery almost buried the corpses of ancestors of all except the nobles, which has to be taken seriously!
While many people are in contact with God, they can't help but suspect what kind of hint this is from God. Some people have begun to pray devoutly, trying to receive a hint from God...
However, almost at the same time, everyone couldn't help but feel extremely strong desire for what happened in the cemetery, mixed with anxiety or anger. After all, the corpses of too many ancestors were buried in the cemetery.
Under this extremely eager mentality, many people hit it off and organized themselves to go to the cemetery to find out. However, in this strong public opinion, the Empire responded one step ahead of them, and immediately sent relevant personnel and some garrison troops to investigate the situation in the cemetery and clean up the mud accumulated outside the cemetery.
However, even if there were relevant personnel from the empire, some people followed behind. They all wanted to "see it as a truth" in such things. Moreover, their ancestors were buried in the cemetery. The most important thing is that it was a sunny morning, and with the large number of people coming, people's fear of the cemetery was reduced to the lowest level ever.
However, after all, they were one step later than the empire's personnel. When they arrived at the cemetery, the empire's personnel had already penetrated into the cemetery, leaving only some people to surround the main entrance of the cemetery.
But the key is that everyone noticed that the soldiers who surrounded the main gate of the cemetery all had the same faces. There was no sign of the peace or rebelliousness of the past on their faces. Some were only serious and frowning. Even a panic that was forced to suppress could be seen on the faces of some soldiers.
When everyone wanted to enter the cemetery, they were immediately obstructed by these soldiers.
Originally, people came to the outside of the cemetery in groups because of curiosity and caution. The purpose was to find out, but after being intercepted by the soldiers, they were naturally unwilling to do so. Especially when they saw the expressions on the soldiers' faces, they muttered even more. In the face of a large crowd, they didn't know who started to make a fuss, and everyone rushed forward, broke through the obstacles of these gatekeepers and entered the cemetery directly.
But as soon as they entered, they were stunned, because they suddenly saw the soldiers in the cemetery, nervously and orderly carrying the tomb lids on the ground, and covering the lids back on the tomb.
Even the two people dressed as officers were busy with the soldiers.
The key is that when people rushed in, they immediately saw that the tombs that had not had time to be covered by the soldiers were completely empty!!
Especially the lids scattered on the ground and empty tombs in the distance, they immediately caught people's eyes.
This time, the whole crowd suddenly felt like it was bursting out and it became completely boiling! Someone even kicked over the lid of the tomb beside him. Seeing that the tombs covered by the soldiers were also empty. After a brief shock, he immediately pointed the finger at the soldiers who were still busy!
Their ancestors are buried in this cemetery. They are all empty after a glance. How can they not be in a hurry?
While accusing the soldiers, many people quickly ran to their ancestors' tombs with their memories. After finding that all the tombs were empty, they were stunned.
The commander in charge of this matter saw that he could no longer hide it, so he simply stopped letting the soldiers carry the covers of the tombs and truthfully told people that all the tombs had become empty.
In the end, it was also stated that they did not want to conceal deliberately, but they were inevitably afraid of some terrifying rumors, so they had to make this decision to cover the cover of the tomb first, then find a way to investigate the facts before making the news public. However, they did not expect that before they finished their first work, the matter was exposed in people's sight.
At this time, people had no time to listen to the explanation of the garrison army, because they were completely shocked!!
Originally, they thought that the storm had washed away many of the tomb lids in the cemetery, which led to a slurry flowing across the entire cemetery. However, they didn't expect that all the bodies in the entire cemetery disappeared overnight!
As soon as they reacted, everyone's first reaction was that the body was washed away by the heavy rain last night. So everyone quickly ran out of the cemetery and quickly chased after the mud. However, what puzzled them was that even if they chased to the end of the mud, they did not find even a body!
If the body was washed away by the heavy rain last night, it would have to rush to a place, right? However, when they were walking around the entire cemetery again, they still did not find a body!
When everyone gathered together again, everyone's face was filled with deep worries, which was even worse than the soldiers guarding the gate. After everyone's brief thinking, they felt that this matter was even more strange.
Even if it was washed away by the rain, it wouldn’t have washed away all the bodies by chance? So, where is the washed-out corpse now? So many of them searched around, but they didn’t even find a corpse, even a bone!!
Once this news was discovered, it spread throughout the imperial capital several times faster than the previous incident of mud accumulation outside the cemetery!
The most popular version that was originally circulated has been upgraded, from the original "God lets the rainstorm collapse the cemetery" to "God took back all the corpses."
Usually, people subconsciously contact God with unexplained things, especially in this era of faith. Many people believed this rumor at the first time and came to the Temple of Light to pray devoutly, hoping to get God's will. Even later, even the residents of the towns around the imperial capital came to the Temple of Light. For a moment, the huge Temple of Light was immediately surrounded and scattered.
The imperial official also responded immediately, publicly announcing that this matter was probably artificial and must be investigated to the end, and to give justice to the citizens of the imperial capital...
However, almost no one believes in the official perspective. If it is really human, why can people transport all the thousands of corpses in the entire cemetery overnight? How much "work" does this require? Even if there are, how many people will it require? Could such a large number of people not make any noise? The garrison guarding the city did not find anything? The most important thing is, what is their purpose?
No matter from which perspective, human factors can almost be abandoned directly! Under many questions, people are more willing to believe that this is God's instructions. After all, even the great warriors do not have the ability to make all the corpses disappear overnight. The key is that they cannot explain at all!
The Holy See of Light seemed to have seized this opportunity and pointed the finger directly at the Holy See of the Dark, claiming that the Holy See of the Dark, sent a large number of undead mages to turn the corpses of the entire cemetery into the skeletons in their bags in one night!
Although there are many loopholes in this sentence, when people try their best to believe in something, they will always convince themselves to fill in all the loopholes, or take the initiative to ignore them. Therefore, in the deliberate distortion of the facts, not only solved the problem of the Temple of Light that the Temple of Light was crowded, but also directly threw this hot potato to the Dark Holy See.
Although people don't go to that cemetery often, their ancestors are buried in it. In addition, many people were full of disgust for the Dark Church at the beginning under the brainwashing of the Holy See. I heard from the mouth of the Holy See that the Dark Church turned their ancestors into skeletons, how could that be great?
So, in a very short time, almost everyone moved from the Temple of Light to the Temple of Dark with indignation. Both the vegetable dealers in the market and the owners of many shops went on strike, and the entire market was empty.
In the streets and alleys of the imperial capital, except for some industries under the nobles, almost all other shops have locked the doors. People all surrounded the Dark Temple with a mess. Vegetable vendors' rotten vegetables kept smashing towards the Dark Temple, which were mixed with some eggs and "newspapers" and magazines from the News Broadcast, etc.
There are crowds of people around, and there are a lot of curses!!
The Dark Church was naturally not willing to be humiliated, and immediately sent someone to explain that the Necromancer could not accomplish such a "hard" thing, and even summoned all the Necromancers in the Dark Temple to completely calm the rumors!
But the person who came forward to explain had just explained that the necromancers had just walked out of the Dark Temple, and were immediately surrounded by people who were out of control. The rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves were greeted suddenly, and had to hide in the Dark Temple again.
But the Dark Temple is naturally not easy to mess with. Of course, they would not swallow this injustice and immediately sent someone to refute the words and deeds of the Holy See, claiming that the Necromancers had no ability to turn all the corpses into skeletons overnight, while the Holy See of the Holy See had the ability to purify all the corpses in a short time!
However, faith is really terrible. It can imprison people's souls, lead people to the path of broad good, and turn people into weapons at the root of all sins. In this era when almost everyone believes in the God of Light, no one will listen to the words of the Dark Holy See. In their opinion, the Dark Holy See is simply making excuses to distort the facts!
Therefore, not only did people not divert their attention, but the condemnation became louder. Some people could not bear the "ugly face" of the Dark Holy See. They took out a sledgehammer from somewhere and hit the door of the Temple of Light with one hammer!
With this leader, people picked up the weapons in their hands and fiercely resisted the Dark Holy See. For a moment, the door of the Dark Holy See was smashed into pieces.
Seeing that the angry people were about to rush into the Dark Temple, the Dark Temple finally made a tough reaction and sent the Dark Knights to intimidate everyone. Even the angry necromancers summoned various necromancers. For a moment, the entire Dark Temple was gloomy.
At this critical moment, the Duke of Wandailan, the dean of Paul Academy, and Robert, the powerful sanctuary of the Holy Land, forced the troublemakers to withdraw from the Dark Temple with the powerful aura of the Holy Land. The Empire also sent elite troops, the royal guards to suppress the rioters, which temporarily suppressed the matter.
But the suppression of force alone cannot relieve people's anger. If this matter is not handled in a short period of time, it is likely to cause riots again. Even some soldiers of the empire are worried about this matter. At that time, it may turn into a civil rebellion and uprising, overthrowing the current royal family's rule...
This is not what the royal family wants to see, nor what all the nobles want to see, nor what the various civil and military ministers of the empire want to see!
However, in a short period of time, no one can think of a reasonable solution!!
then……
In the residence of the Duke of Snow Demon Wolf of the Imperial Capital, Lin Feng, who was sleeping, was awakened by a sudden knock on the door. Just when he was about to get angry, he heard Bond's anxious voice outside: "Master, it's not good, something big happened!!"
After hearing this sentence, Lin Feng was shocked. Although Bond was just a servant, he was not a short-sighted person who lived in the mansion of the former Minister of Military Affairs. It must be a matter of making him so panicked and anxious!
So, when Lin Feng got out of bed and opened the door before he had time to wash his clothes, he immediately heard Bond say with an urgent face: "Master, Your Majesty has sent someone here, and he is now in your study!"
"What's the matter with Your Majesty sending someone?" Lin Feng muttered angrily, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed with Bond: "Is this the 'big thing' you said?"
"No, no, master!" Bond knew that Lin Feng had misunderstood him when he heard Lin Feng's tone, and hurriedly said, "It's a big deal that happened to the entire imperial capital! Your Majesty sent someone to this matter is probably related to this matter, and I can't know it specifically, but looking at the face of the sent adult, I knew it was a big deal. He is waiting for you in the study in a particularly anxious way!"
