Leaving the church and coming to the street, gray snowflakes have covered the street, and on the entire Cherry Leaf Street, less than a quarter of the shops are open for business.
Continuing to walk along the street to the intersection, Xia De didn't see any four-wheeled carriages waiting for guests in the lively place.
Instead, he ran past in a hurry, and the policeman with a kerosene lamp in his hand reminded Shad loudly that the Randall Valley has encountered a special negative pressure vortex weather that has not happened in a hundred years. It's better not to stay outside. While staying indoors, you should also pay attention to the urban earthquake warning information issued by the city hall that there will be a major earthquake outside the city tonight.
Xia De walked a street in a city that looked like a dying patient, and finally found a taxi. And from the driver's mouth, he also knew that the earthquake that happened at the banquet last night was just the beginning of a series of earthquakes.
Throughout the night, there were more than eight strong earthquakes in the urban area of Randall Valley, so that almost no local residents could sleep well.
At the same time, the quake caused widespread fires in the slums of the Old City and severe landslides in the mountainous countryside to the east of the Randall Valley. Just from the news that the coachman heard, the number of people killed last night due to the series of subsequent effects of the earthquake has reached triple digits.
Therefore, starting from this morning, unless people are infected with petrified plague and other serious diseases, people will try not to go out as long as they can. Accompanied by the gray snow falling in the city before the early spring, this ordinary driver who has lived in the Randall Valley for forty years sighed again Tone, feeling that the city has become different from ever before:
"It's as if the land itself is sick."
He said to Xia De who was sitting in the carriage amidst the sound of the horseshoes.
The carriage first took Xia De to the Fengrao Dadi Hotel in the city center. The hotel is still open today, and there are many more guests on the first floor than usual. It's not that the citizens all came to drink, but the people staying in the hotel, talking with their companions about the situation in the Randall Valley today in a panic.
After Shade entered the door, he glanced around and saw Miss Marilyn Handel sitting by the wall. He didn't say anything, but when he passed by, he put the "Creation·Death" by her hand, and walked towards the stairs.
Miss Handel looked down at the card, while Joy Barton's soul looked hesitantly at the cat held by Shade. Mia was held by Xia De with one hand, her front paws were on Xia De's shoulder, and her small head was looking at him over Xia De's ear.
As a result, the dead soul felt something was wrong, but they didn't know where this strangeness came from. When he was divining for Xia De, he also divined the cat's fate, but when he saw it after death, he felt a completely different feeling from when he was alive.
Xia De, who went upstairs, did not see Luvia in the room, but found a note left by her. Luvia was called away by the Prophet Association this morning, but she will go to the Wilde Opera House to meet Shad at noon, and ask Shad not to run around.
The reason why Luvia mentioned the Wilde Opera House was because it was located in the city center and it was easier to inquire about information than the Witch's Manor. Therefore, the Opera House was closed for one day today as the base camp for this operation.
When Xia De arrived there, the four great witches, Miss Aurora, Miss Benanis, Miss Galina, and Miss Silvia, were already in place, and the witch apprentices were making preliminary preparations for the actions of the great witches. , Sirius and Miss Swift entered the parliament to report to the other witches who were waiting for news.
That is to say, apart from Margaret, who has not yet held a ceremony and has not yet been awarded the official status of Witch Apprentice, the forces belonging to the [Witch Council] in the entire Randall Valley have gathered in the Wilde Opera House.
The ring warlock's participation in an event that can be called a large-scale battle is not just about putting on clothes and carrying a cat to go out and go straight to the destination. Even Xia De, who has little furniture, spends a night and a morning sorting out the items he needs, and the ladies who are witches and ring warlocks need complicated preparations, and most of these preparations are made by students.
assisted by disciples and followers.
"How's the situation?"
When Shad appeared in the office on the third floor of the opera house with Mia in his arms, only Miss Benanis was drinking tea alone.
She gestured for Shad to sit down and talk:
"Don't be so anxious, try the black tea I made. This is tea bought from the East." After Xia De took his seat, Miss Benanis introduced:
"The church has received the news you got from the guardian. Fortunately, with the experience of the Battle of Fort Midhill, the church has made arrangements in advance. Although there will definitely be casualties, it should be enough to protect the safety of the city. The speaker made a deal with the church. After eight o'clock tonight, except for Sylvia who will follow you to Oxenfurt Manor, the three of us will take the followers of the high ring out of the city and fight in the southeast. If the news is accurate , the intensity of the battle this time will not be lower than the one in Miburg."
Although she was talking about a very serious topic, her tone was very relaxed:
Her beautiful eyes looked at Xia De:
"You've been involved in more things than us. Tell me, Shad, how do you feel." "Nothing."
Xia De stroked Mia's soft hair:
"I am confident that I can solve this matter. The only question is what price to pay." "Are you so confident?"
The witch smiled:
"What I'm most worried about now is actually you. It's okay... When this matter is over, no matter what the result is, you probably won't visit this city so frequently. Then we agreed that after the end , I want to perform for you alone, just like when we first met, is that okay?"
"I usually don't talk about the celebration banquet at the beginning of a big event..."
Xia De said hesitantly, but seeing the expression on Miss Benanis's face, he nodded in agreement: "I'm looking forward to it, do you still want to sing?"
The witch's face was reddish, with a smile on the corner of her mouth:
"Aside from singing, don't I know other performances?"
The Orthodox Church and the three major academies have more fragments of poems, but up to now, they are still not completely sure where the Chosen Ceremony of the Chosen Ones of the Earth will be held.
Fortunately, after gathering enough fragments of psalms in the hands of the church, they were able to locate possible locations based on the map. Afterwards, the Prophet Association conducted a divination on this again, and because they could not be 100% sure of the answer, they finally delineated seven areas.
These seven areas are scattered with each other, and there is even one within the city. Therefore, in addition to the ring warlocks who are engaged in the "city defense battle" tonight, more high-level warlocks and most of the thirteen-ring warlocks will be assigned to these seven areas.
Except for the one in the city, it was a coincidence that Xia De had actually been to four of the remaining six areas. Those are the relics of worshiping the moon near Oxenfurt Manor, Eldron Lake in the upper reaches of the Elrond River, the Demon Seal Watchtower in the lower reaches of the west of the city, and the Temple of the Dark Night in the mountains.
As for the two places that Xia De has not been to, one is the farthest from the city, directly crossing the river valley and entering the mountainous area east of the city. The other is on the open plain to the south of the city, where the only remaining remains of the ancient kingdom of Stonewell are.
The news about these seven key areas was brought by Sister Divelin at noon that day.
Sister Davelyn considered Shade's matter more important, so she took the initiative to apply to help defend the moon worship site near Oxenfurt Manor this time. The church originally planned to let the nun stay in the city, but they respected the nun's opinion, and the ruins happened to be in the relative center of the seven areas, making it convenient for the nun to move at any time, so they agreed to the nun's application.
Sister Devlin and Iluna are the most important characters tonight. Even because Sister Divelin's level is far higher than that of Iluna, Sister Divelin can even be said to be the most important.
Considering this time
The chosen ones have the risk of losing control, and no one can predict how terrifying the thirteen-ring warlock who is out of control will be. Therefore, the nuns who are also the chosen ones are the best candidates to check and balance the "Guardian"~www.mtlnovel.com~ In the face of the fate of the chosen ones, only the chosen ones can contend.
According to the previous plan, before Sister Divelin left, she took Shade's [Night Watchman] and [Initiation·Knowledge] to know the best time for her to appear.
And before Sister Devlin left, Luvia had already arrived at the Wilde Opera House. She took leave after finishing her work in the morning on the grounds that she was unwell. Although it is the time when there is a shortage of manpower, Luvia is not a member of the local association after all, so the association can only reluctantly allow her a vacation.
"The operation has been roughly arranged."
Shade sat on the seat in the front row of the No. 1 performance hall on the first floor, watching the girls on the stage maintaining Miss Aurora's weapon, that is, a white oak staff with diamonds on the top that she got recently. The oak staff was as long as Shad's height, and it was a sage-level relic, which could amplify specific spells.
The most open place in the Wilde Opera House is the stage except for the basement. Anyway, the opera house is closed today, so the four witches each chose a stage to prepare.
