Chapter 551 Imprisonment
"Do you feel that something is wrong here?" Just when a result was discussed and everyone was about to swear an oath according to the organization's secret ceremony, a middle-aged man wearing a high-ranking officer's badge suddenly said.
The middle-aged man's sudden question made everyone present feel a little confused. They looked at each other and unanimously said that they didn't find anything wrong.
However, the middle-aged man did not just relax. His face was full of tension. Under the gaze of everyone, he quickly walked to the window and looked out the window.
The middle-aged man seemed to have a lot of influence among these people. When he showed nervousness, others around him also became nervous and looked at the middle-aged man, waiting for his response.
The middle-aged man did not find anything out of the window that made him feel amiss, but he was cautious and did not give up looking for anything suspicious.
"Something's wrong!" The middle-aged man suddenly opened the window, pointed at the pedestrians on the street outside, and said, "Do you think they are a little strange?"
The people around them immediately found a window and looked outside, but they couldn't see anything weird about the pedestrians on the street. If they didn't know very well that middle-aged people are not neurotic people, they would definitely
Did he discover something that made him act so serious?
"Look at their shadows." The middle-aged man reminded him as he knew that his colleagues around him did not see anything unusual.
After being reminded by the middle-aged man, everyone discovered a strange situation. The shadows of pedestrians on the street were distorted and did not look like 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, with strong uneasiness rising in his heart. Under the influence of this uneasiness, he suggested: "Leave here first.
"
Although it felt that the middle-aged man was making a fuss, no one rejected the middle-aged man's proposal. After all, all the things that should be discussed have been discussed, and the next step is how to implement it.
So everyone left the room in small groups, went downstairs, and walked out of the tavern.
"Damn it? What's going on?" These people were soon confused by the strange things that happened in front of them, because the people who had just walked out of the door suddenly came back and bumped into those who were trying to leave behind.
At the same time, people who followed discovered that the street outside the door had disappeared, and was replaced by the interior of the first floor of the tavern. Except that there were no people, the other furnishings were exactly the same.
Some people do not believe in evil and try to go out again. However, no matter how they go out, they will eventually return to the tavern. According to their description, the moment they cross the door, the scene in their eyes will change instantly.
The tavern on the first floor was instantly filled with people, and they returned to the tavern.
Some people saw that they could not go through the main entrance, so they put their ideas on the windows and tried to climb out of the windows, but the result was still the same, they would still return to the tavern.
Except for a few people with stable personalities who were able to remain calm, most of the others had panicked looks on their faces. After all, what was happening in front of them was beyond their understanding.
"This may be witchcraft." At this time, the middle-aged man who first discovered the abnormality seemed to have some understanding of the dark world. While everyone was still panicking, he said something that made everyone feel...
Ridiculous answer.
"Claude, you just studied these things before, don't use them to make trouble now." Someone said with great dissatisfaction.
For these middle-level officers of the Navy, the so-called gods, wizards, monsters, etc. are all lies and lies. They are not yet qualified to contact these things. Although they often hear similar rumors, they all
I just treat these kinds of things as common urban legends.
In addition, because of the naval reform, the navy was separated from the religious influence of the Poseidon Church. All officers came from the Royal Academy and were the most loyal academics. Therefore, in their eyes, the so-called miracles of the church were just some deceptions. Those
The legendary witchcraft and monsters must all be deception.
But not all officers are ignorant of the dark world. Among these officers, except for the middle-aged man who spoke first, several other organizational candidates and senior officers have more or less come into contact with this world.
Such things and information, so when the middle-aged people said that the situation in front of them was related to witchcraft, they did not express doubts, but showed a solemn look on their faces.
"Shut up!" When everyone was questioning the middle-aged man, an organization candidate suddenly stopped everyone's questioning loudly, and then asked the middle-aged man: "Do you think this is special?
Was it done by the bureau or the royal family?”
Different from the middle and low-level officers around him, this organizational candidate is already considered a high-level officer. He has received more or less some news. These messages say that the reason why Hoover Hansen was assassinated was because the royal family and Congress were dissatisfied with the Navy.
Interfering in politics, so we directly deal with the naval heroes who are most likely to make a difference in politics, and warn some ambitious people within the navy.
Originally, this organization candidate did not think that such rumors were true, but the current situation made him feel that those rumors might be true, because he knew that there was a wizard under the royal family who specifically worked for the royal family, and he was a real wizard.
.
"I don't know." The middle-aged man named Claude shook his head blankly.
After hearing this, the faces of several organizational candidates became extremely ugly and they looked at each other, because in their opinion, if it was the people from the Special Bureau who created this situation, maybe they would still have a way to survive, but if it was the royal family
If so, their outcome may be the same as their leader's.
While the naval officers in the tavern were in chaos, Leo was sitting in the coffee shop opposite the tavern, quietly waiting for the time to end.
He felt a lot more relaxed at this time, because when he was talking about the officers under Hoover Hansen trapped in the tavern, the black threads hanging from the sky had almost disappeared, and there were only a few scattered thin gray threads.
Distributed in every corner of the city, it is obvious that these have nothing to do with the disaster.
Now all Leo has to do is wait for time to pass until this catastrophe caused by the power struggle among the upper echelons of the kingdom is completely over.
As time passed, the sky gradually darkened, and the lamplighters lit the street lamps one by one. Some wealthy people living in the Queen's District walked onto the streets wearing decent clothes, and some gorgeously dressed ladies got on their best carriages.
, all headed towards the Central Theater in the Lake Lady District.
The closed door of the Sea Spear Tavern did not attract anyone's attention, because although it was a public tavern, it was also a private club, and the tavern had been closed for private parties before.
During this period of time, some people wearing navy uniforms came outside the tavern, but they saw that the door of the tavern was closed. After knocking on the door, they did not go in again.
When this person appeared, Leo's attention was caught, because there was a black thread on the top of this person's head, but when the person turned around and left, the black thread disappeared. It seemed that this person
It was probably the person sent by the Navy to inform Hoover Hansen's organization that the assassin who killed Hoover Hansen was Mitty Grant.
After nightfall, a small daily behavior from the royal family caused a small accident.
After nightfall, the royal family would occasionally ask the old wizard Otto to scan the entire city of Durin through the wizard tower. Its function is similar to Leo's spiritual network, but it is not as hidden as the spiritual network. Instead, it is very public.
When scanning, the energy waves emitted from the Wizard Tower collide with the surrounding energy, producing a brilliant light similar to an aurora.
The reason why the royal family did this was simply to give a warning to those in the dark world in Dulin City to make them more honest, and also to demonstrate the royal family's heritage and strength.
However, for those who do not know the reason, this is a visual feast and a blessing from God to Dulin City. Over time, it has become a late-night scene in Dulin City.
There is no doubt that when this energy wave swept across the Sea Spear Tavern, the Turing Magic Array that Leo deployed here would inevitably rub against this sweeping energy.
This kind of friction did not have any adverse effects on the magic circle arranged by Leo, but the flames produced by the energy friction were extremely eye-catching. To ordinary people, the entire Sea Spear Tavern seemed to be wrapped in a ball of colorful flames, extremely gorgeous.
It didn't disperse for a long time, so a large number of people quickly gathered here to watch the fun.
Leo knew that there was some trouble the moment the abnormal phenomenon appeared, so before others paid attention to this place, he made some changes to the Turing Magic Array in the Sea Spear Tavern and added several special symbols.
Wen traps strengthen the power of the entire magic circle.
Although the colorful flames surrounding the tavern have weakened and disappeared with the passage of time, the crowd gathered here has not decreased. Some curious people want to enter the tavern to have a look, either knocking on the door or knocking on the window, but they
There was no response. If no one was watching, maybe some of them would have climbed upstairs along the pillars to see if they could enter the tavern through the open window upstairs.
However, these miscreants were quickly dispersed, because people from the police, special bureau and navy rushed here one after another.
After they arrived, they did not rush to enter the tavern, but dispersed the surrounding onlookers. The police were instructed to set up a blockade at the outermost perimeter to prevent other unrelated people from entering, while the Special Bureau and the Navy's internal investigation team were responsible for internal
investigation of affairs.
Although the Special Bureau and the Naval Investigation Team are both official members of the Kingdom, their relationship seems to be very bad. After the onlookers were dispersed and the police officers were ordered away, the two sides started to argue with each other.
The Special Bureau stated that this was an incident caused by extraordinary power. All extraordinary powers in the kingdom are under the management of the Special Bureau. The Naval Investigation Team believed that this tavern was the property of a naval admiral and a private club for naval officers.
This tavern is handed over to the Special Bureau.
When the two sides were arguing, the royal family also came, and the royal family was led by the old wizard Otto, but this time he was not wearing the eye-catching wizard robe, but a very ordinary one.
Long blouse jacket.
It's no wonder that the royal family is so concerned, because the energy friction reaction between the tavern's rune magic circle and the wizard tower is too great and appears very abrupt, which forces the royal family to pay attention to the situation here.
After arriving here, the old wizard Otto did not participate in the fight for the jurisdiction of the tavern. He just took a look at the tavern and already had an opinion in his heart. Then he turned his head and looked around, and his sight fell not far away.
Leo in the cafe.
"Mr. Leo, is this your work?" The old wizard Otto signaled his men to disperse to maintain order, then walked up to Leo and asked.
"Yes." Leo nodded and admitted truthfully.
"Has someone in the tavern offended Your Excellency?" The old wizard sat next to Leo, picked up the teapot on the table and got a cup of tea, and then asked tentatively.
"No." Leo responded simply.
"Then you do this..." The old wizard looked at Leo in confusion.
"This is not the trouble caused by your royal family and Congress." Leo looked at the old wizard angrily, making the old wizard look confused and had no idea what Leo meant by what he said.
After seeing the old wizard's expression, Leo was stunned. He stretched out his hand to gather his spiritual energy and quickly drew a Turing root in the air, forming an environment that was isolated from sound. Then he heard in a deep voice: "You don't know about the assassination."
The Hoover Hansen thing?”
"Assassinate Hoover Hansen?" The old wizard was completely confused by Leo's words. He never thought that Leo's blocking of this tavern was related to the assassination of Hoover Hansen.
Although the old wizard stays in the Wizard Tower all year round and rarely participates in the politics of the kingdom, he is also very aware of how big a sensation the assassination of Hoover Hansen caused in the kingdom some time ago and how much impact it caused.
Big impact.
Just like all ordinary people who don't understand the situation, he also believed that the people who assassinated Hoover Hansen were the Avengers from the Mosang Continent. But now from Leo's words, he discovered that things might not be as he expected.
It's so simple, and it seems to involve the royal family and Congress.
With doubts and curiosity in his mind, the old wizard couldn't help but ask about the cause and effect, and Leo was not stingy, and carefully explained what he knew and speculated, which made the old wizard frown.
There is no doubt that no matter which way you look at it, the actions of the royal family and Congress are despicable and shameless, and the consequences are so bad that it makes people want to kill the person who carried out this thing.
The old wizard had no doubt at all about the weapon that Leo said could destroy the entire city, because he had seen records of similar weapons in the notes of the tower wizard. In addition to being in awe of the power of this mysterious weapon, he now also
