"Little Martha, the evidence has been obtained, where are we going?"
In the night, Pullman followed Marissa. The girl was hurriedly running forward, not towards the direction of returning to the inn.
Marissa said without looking back, "Don't worry, just go and get something."
Pullman was shocked, "Isn't it? It's now like this, are you still thinking about this?"
The two of them walked all the way to the north area of the town. This was an area far away from the firefight point on the south side and there were not many guards stationed there. The two climbed over the fence, came to the building, removed the windows, and sneaked into the empty county library.
With the war approaching and urban order in ruins, many unguarded public facilities have experienced zero-dollar purchases and theft, but the library is obviously one of the most intact places.
Marissa opened the lighting stone on her cuffs and dove into the rows of bookshelves. Pullman, who was relaxing on one side, looked around nervously and urged in a low voice, "Little Martha, what on earth are you going to do? Now is not the time to study, right?"
"Shut up, candidate husband No. 7, I'm more senior than you, just listen to me." Marissa quickly rummaged through books without raising her head.
After a while, Marissa finally found a few books she needed, such as "Distribution of Magic Networks", "Principles of Resonance of Elements", "Magic Tools and Symbol Materials", "History of Forbidden Arts", etc., and sat on the floor. , start checking it out. As she checked and checked, she was stunned;
You can’t go wrong! The scale is an instrument for measuring the magic network, and the ratio of sigils and materials is very similar to the magic-guiding mortar of earth spells; the funnel-shaped downwards is a spell-casting structure that is prone to vibration.
If my judgment is correct, at this time in Black Mountain Town, someone is evenly distributing countless vibration-generating sigils and placing them at every point where the magic network intersects. In other words, with such a huge number, once they are activated at the same time and vibrate at the same frequency, there will only be one result, earth vein resonance.
…
In the basement of the inn, Marissa used the wall as a blackboard, patted the magic patterns and characters painted all over it, and spoke seriously for a long time, trying to make the confused soldiers below understand the seriousness of the matter;
The technicians under the witch are directing the uninformed soldiers to deploy a forbidden technique of mass destruction in the city. This spell, if large enough, can destroy an entire town-sized area in one fell swoop.
The grassroots guards were all shocked. They whispered to each other, wondering if the hall master had caught a cold when he went out at night and his head became unclear.
Marissa was extremely anxious. This was an ancient spell style that she once went to Moon Creek Town with Skaar. While the latter was meeting book friends, she sneaked into the Noble Magic School and listened to an ancient magic style taught by an eccentric old mage.
The old man heard that he was originally a royal mage. He was captured by the orc rebel army during the first war, and he immediately surrendered and worked in the orc's Shadow Engineering Department. After the war, he was imprisoned for more than ten years before being released, and was sent to a remote border city to work as a teacher. He has been depressed ever since. Therefore, he retaliated against the society and always taught random things in primary school students' classes, including a lot of forbidden knowledge from the orcs and demon legions.
In the original magic thing, a slight mistake can make a huge difference. The detailed diagrams, facilities and construction forms of this spell were completely lost thousands of years ago. Only the name and basic principles remain. It is impossible to tell whether it is a false legend, so no one cares about what he said. thing.
Because she was very bored, Marissa listened to a few words and ran away. She only remembered that this destructive magic was said to have been originally recorded in the Burning Legion's books and was called Hell Demon Abyss.
Now through the books taken from the library and the information heard from the officers' bugs, she has basically determined that what the officers, soldiers and the witch's men have planted everywhere are the magic seals of this large-scale space-distorting forbidden technique.
Only Pullman, who had received some rough training in hunting, understood a little bit. If Marissa's judgment is true, then why would Serena deploy a destructive spell on her own territory? Unless, she and the forces behind the scenes have long been prepared for the county government's failure, intending to destroy the entire town in one fell swoop.
In this way, not only will the rebels be prevented from obtaining the population, facilities and resources of the industrial town, but the evidence that she and her adoptive father, Marquis Vishak, manipulated the town will also be destroyed, so that no one will be able to find out the truth. No matter what, the lives of tens of thousands of innocent people and county officers and soldiers in the city are not among their considerations.
In order to verify whether this speculation was true, Pullman immediately took two soldiers and quietly sneaked to the place where he had just witnessed the soldiers burying the magic seal. He dug up the soil and revealed the shining magic seal.
Following Marissa's instructions, they dug out the metal block very carefully without damaging the runes on it, and brought it back to the inn. Marissa asked the soldiers to carry it to the basement and put detonation runes on it.
After the remote control detonation, the magic seal was blown to pieces. Everyone opened the door to check and found that when the fragments of the magic seal were splashed on the table, floor and walls, they melted and corroded small holes on them. Especially those that fell on the ground fell straight into the ground, leaving behind unfathomable straight caves.
Now, no one doubted the accuracy of Hall Master Marissa’s judgment. According to Marisa's calculations, two-thirds of the forbidden technique has been completed. If the spell is completed and the rebels attack the town, disaster will occur immediately. The crazy nuns and lords will not care about the lives of the people.
To make matters worse, as the war intensified, the county guards had set up magic signal shielding in the city. Even if Pullman and others took the risk to use the communication orb, they would not be able to contact the outside world in time due to the shielding.
The situation was extremely tense and there was no room for delay. Pullman quickly asked other warriors to attack and destroy the magic seal. Soon, the enemy mobilized a large number of troops to defend, and most of these mage hunters belonging to Serena were former Defias senior engineers, which further verified the correctness of Marissa's judgment.
Although these men claimed they were coerced, the Brotherhood's defeat was inevitable after Van Cleef's death. But their actions have gone beyond the scope of self-preservation. Pullman is not a virgin. He has seen many confessions of the traitors. After asking for information, he mercilessly exposed the other party's tricks and executed them.
And Serena was not a vegetarian. She quickly locked the location of the attacker and killed several soldiers to force Pullman to show up.
Pullman asked why she, a cleric and former member of the People's Army, could remain unmoved by the taking of so many lives. However, Serena's mechanical legs burst out with huge power and suddenly rushed forward. Pullman quickly turned sideways, unable to dodge, and could only use his body to block the opponent's attack.
