*****On the road near the outer wall of the Magic Academy in the capital of Theocracy****
At about 8:25 that night, the school was once again plunged into chaos due to a sudden earthquake. However, the chaos was quickly resolved. The school announced the reason through the radio and informed them that students who were not residents were welcome. Due to the relationship between staying overnight in the academy, the chaos quickly subsided, but the panic atmosphere became much worse.
This also made Zhang Youji, who was about to go home, return home a little later. On his way home, he witnessed the contents of the broadcast in the academy. To put it simply, the entire territory of the Theocracy was on combat alert. State, the streets are now completely in chaos, and there are scenes of demon statues descending from the sky and burning demons.
To be more precise, there were many knights and soldiers on the streets, patrolling the streets, and from time to time, they suppressed some innocent civilians who spoke ill of the Pope. Although order was indeed maintained, it made the streets completely chaotic. It turned into a very depressing atmosphere where people were panicked and everyone was on tenterhooks.
Among them, the most depressing thing is that those walking on the street can be as small as tens of meters or as large as hundreds of meters. They can be clearly seen from a distance. No matter how big or small, they are extremely depressing. Now they are constantly coming from St. On the other side of the tower, Zhang Youji was surprised by the number of demon-burning statues parachuted onto the street. Although he did not count the number, he was certain that the number was definitely higher than last night. Watch the conflict between Paradise forces and Theocracy.
[···, what should I say? After realizing it, although the quantity seems to be several times more than what I saw last night, it still feels very shoddy. It is a degraded version of the replica? 】
[Master, even if it is a rough and degraded version, it is still the idol. To put it metaphorically, it would take about 200 people like Miss Cuiyin to defeat one degraded version. 】
【Well? In other words, the degraded version is not too weak? Binghua, Qing, what do you think of the replica and prototype? 】
[For Miss Cuiyin and others who are still within the range of humans and do not have royal skills, they are considered strong enemies. However, if they exceed a certain range, or have royal skills, or have the ability to rival royal skills, then it will deteriorate. The replica version can only be regarded as a relatively resistant stone. The replica version will be a bit dangerous for Iroha and the others, but it is not impossible for them to win. 】
[Lord Creator, the only one who is really in danger is the big guy over there. The rest are just rubble to us. 】
Having just said goodbye to all the classmates who had temporarily decided to stay in the academy due to the announcement from the academy, Zhang Youji, who had just come out of the academy not long ago, was confused by the scene and atmosphere on the street, and with Binghua and Qinghe who were following him. Her compatriots frankly expressed some of their feelings and briefly chatted with them.
[The big guy over there? Um, although it was dark and I could only see shadows, but the one who seemed to be having a passionate fight with a monster like Kraken in the scene yesterday? 】
[Master, you are not mistaken, it is that idol. Last night, Moni shared the information about the idol with all her family members, including those in the maze. 】
[Then, what does the value look like? 】
[Master, let’s talk about this later. It’s not convenient to talk about it here. Moreover, including the degraded version, if you don’t have special defensive magic tools or skills, it’s best not to use appraisal to see them. Not only will it cause trouble, but you will also suffer. To the backlash, just like the Qing who saw them just now. 】
【ha? ! 】
When Zhang Youji listened to Binghua and Qing's opinions and said confirmation, she had a brief chat with her because of Binghua's reply. After Zhang Youji had a brief chat with her about the numerical status of these statues on the street, Zhang Youji because of Binghua's reply. After saying that, he was dumbfounded and immediately shifted his gaze, seemingly to peek at the detailed status of those statues, but in the end, it attracted backlash from Qing and the others.
【Hello? ! Are you okay? ! 】
[Lord Creator, it’s nothing serious. Thank you for your concern. It’s just that this layer of blinding smoke is annoying. I’ll disperse it now. 】
[Qing, that's not smoke, but a curse. The first intention is concealment and backlash, but backlash hardly works for us, so the concealment state is still somewhat useful, but the second effect is troublesome. It attracted the attention of the surroundings. Now the knights and soldiers around us are already releasing hostility towards us and are ready to catch us. 】
【ha? Why? ! 】
[Master, there was a large newly erected sign near the entrance of the academy. It said that you are not allowed to spy on the status of the Demon-Burning God Statue, otherwise you will be charged with espionage and directly imprisoned. 】
Looking at Qing who was rubbing his eyes, Zhang Youji couldn't help but panic for a moment. Although he quickly calmed down because of Qing's words, Binghua's words later made Zhang Youji look around inexplicably and loudly When he asked questions and received Binghua's answer as knights and soldiers gradually gathered around him, Zhang Youji covered his head with a headache when he looked at the scene of being surrounded.
[Ah, speaking of which, there seemed to be something like that when I came out just now. 】
【You are under arrest! Be honest and go back with us to accept the investigation! If you dare to resist or run away, you will, oooh? ! 】
【【【Ahhh? ! ? ! ? ! 】】】X20
While Zhang Youji was covering his head and talking, among the knights and soldiers surrounding him, a man who looked like a noble stood up and spoke, but unfortunately, he hadn't finished speaking yet. Qing then rewarded the surrounding people with wind magic.
Because they had more or less to keep their hands, the knights and soldiers did not appear dead, but they all flew out, about a few hundred meters away, and became seriously injured. Zhang Youji and Binghua couldn't help but, because of Qing's sudden rampage, He was stunned on the spot. As for Qing's own reaction, it was as if he had cleaned up the garbage. Other than that, he had no other reaction.
[Creator-sama, the garbage blocking the road has been cleaned up. 】
[Ah, well, we should be considered certain that we are in the game, right? 】
[Uh, Master, do you mean the prison? As long as the explanation is clear, you don't need to go in if there is a misunderstanding. 】
[Speaking of which, it seems that there is a practice of redeeming people with money? I forgot which country this method is from, but I don’t know if it works here. 】
[Sir Zhang Youji, although the method you mentioned does exist, as your entourage said, you have some privileges in this country, and it only takes one sentence to solve a matter of this level. 】
Zhang Youji had a premonition of getting into trouble because of Qing's response, which seemed like he had finished sweeping away the trash. Although Binghua immediately comforted Zhang Youji when he saw this, it obviously had no effect until a strange voice came out. When the voice interjected, Zhang Youji calmed down and raised questions about the figure that had just walked over.
[Uh, who are you? 】
[Compared with the Blue Summoner of the Labyrinth, I am just a candidate for a Paladin that is not worth mentioning. 】
[Paladin candidate? 】
[Yes, this area was originally the place that our Saint Sect was responsible for, but the people from the Pope Sect are currently looking for trouble everywhere. I didn’t expect that the trouble would actually find you here. If you want to be held accountable If so, I would like you to ask the Pope. 】
The puzzled Zhang Youji looked at the female knight in front of him who was wearing a knight's armor for women and looked very calm in appearance and atmosphere. After straightforwardly speaking the question, the female knight immediately entered a state of blaming. After saying hello, he tried every means to blame the papists for what had just happened, and kept talking calmly while talking about the topic.
Although Zhang Youji was a bit stunned by her constant blame-shifting, Zhang Youji, who originally had no intention of holding someone accountable, or rather thought he would be held accountable, noticed the sudden, subtle and seemingly unexplained behavior. When he was in trouble, he interrupted the female knight in front of him, preparing to get rid of her first and then plan the next thing.
[Anyway, you mean the papists are wrong, right? 】
[Yes, what you can understand is better than anything else. Even the demon-burning statues nearby have not found you guilty, but the papists want to arrest you. That is of course their fault. 】
[Hmm, can I leave now? 】
[Yes, I apologize to you on behalf of the Saint Faction for the trouble the Pope Faction has caused you this time. I am very sorry. 】
When the female knight saw Zhang Youji speaking impatiently, she immediately followed the topic according to the situation. After confirming that Zhang Youji did not want to waste time, she stopped acting in a sloppy way and behaved very politely. Bowed and left.
[..., Binghua, the female knight who just claimed to be a candidate for the Holy Knight, what do you think of her? 】
[Master, there is no doubt that she is from the Holy Lady's side. The fact that the Holy Lady's sect is responsible for maintaining law and order in this area is not a lie. However, everything related to the Pope's sect is all lies. The other ones The control of the statue is probably also in her hands. 】
[In other words, those people who were blown away by Qing's magic just now are all from her side? 】
[It is impossible to be absolutely sure, but it is very likely. The reason for doing this is probably related to the power struggle between humans. 】
[Sigh, I’d better go find Moni as soon as I get back. I don’t want to get involved in any troublesome power struggle. This Theocracy is really starting to go into chaos. Today’s changes alone are big enough. I really don’t know what will happen in the future. Sample. 】
After the female knight walked away, Zhang Youji, who also turned back to his own house and grabbed Qing to prevent her from doing anything else, talked to Binghua, who was grabbing Qing's compatriot, about the female knight just now. matter.
However, after Bing Hua's analysis, Zhang Youji briefly chatted with her for a few words. Because of its content and its connection with the power struggle, and because of the panic and panic surrounding the people, Zhang Youji couldn't help but feel that While thinking about what would happen after returning home, I couldn't help but sigh again about what would happen to the Theocracy in the future, and I quickened my pace on the way home.
