Just when she was panicking about Ed's actions, a thin, emerald green translucent curtain suddenly separated the boiling water.
Crystal clear and emerald green, like a new bud.
In an instant, the entire irregular mass of boiling water turned into a curtain of rain in front of the window, dripping down to the ground along the slope.
Double secret user? !
She already knew that Ed could use the one-eyed spider, and now the unique force field barrier of "Lake" appeared.
The clean and neat release of the secret text, the impeccable shield configuration, and even the construction technique is the extremely difficult center-type suspended expansion - it can be said that it is perfect.
Regarding the secret text of "Lake", out of interest, Angelica once used a whole semester's spare time to train. However, the final result was only a barrier of less than five square centimeters extending from the edge of the table, and successfully Hold a ring for fifteen seconds.
Even so, she has been evaluated by her tutor as "extremely talented and excellent in learning ability." And if you want to build a barrier like this casually, amazing talent and years of hard work are absolutely indispensable.
For a moment, Angelica couldn't help but be stunned. When she came to her senses, Ed had already rushed towards the target.
However, a bunch of spheres wrapped in cloth fell in front of him, and the burning white fuse was about to go off.
Danger!
She wanted to shout a reminder like this, but it was impossible for Teacher Waikolo to not notice the explosives in front of her, and her shout would only distract him.
If the "lake" barrier is deployed immediately, there should be no problem in self-protection, but the opponent may take this opportunity to try to escape...? She shrank back behind the corner and judged.
However, Ed did not give the opponent such a chance. He ignored the bomb in front of him and rushed towards it quickly.
boom!
The violent white smoke produced by the black powder explosion rose up, flooding the entire alleyway and blurring Angelica's vision. The loud noise caused the surrounding walls to shake slightly.
If only my gear could arrive earlier...
At this moment, Angelica sighed with emotion.
In order to come and report in advance, she took the train and rushed to Silvermist City first. The cargo airship that delivered personal equipment would not arrive in Silvermist City for about a week, and many important equipment were not with her at this time.
But this is no excuse to escape. I am now an agent of the Bureau of Investigation, just like Arthur. She took a deep breath, drew her gun and followed.
The smoke was like a choking fog, and the echoes of the explosions still rippled through the walls. Angelica could only see two figures struggling together, and wondered whether Teacher Waikolo was injured.
"Let me go! Let me go!"
Until the reverberations of the explosion dissipated, she heard the frightened neighing of horses and the roar of men.
Ed tightly suppressed the hooded man in front of him and controlled him on the ground unable to move. His clothes were somewhat messed up by the bomb, and there was still a trace of unextinguished embers on his trousers.
After struggling several times to no avail, facing the absolute power gap, the man calmed down and said hopelessly:
"I surrender. Damn it...how did you know it was a smoke bomb? What if I stuffed it with iron sheets, broken glass and nails?"
"Obviously, if you detonate a fragmentation grenade at this distance, I will decide whether you will die or not. Anyway, you are dead." Ed moved his knee that was suppressing him, but still held his wrist with his hand, smiling slightly. , "It's just a pineapple. I guess there's no need to fight to the death, right?"
"Okay, smart guy..." He sat up in disgrace and laughed to himself, "That's really fucked. I didn't expect that I could meet an extraordinary person after stealing a pineapple. What kind of world is this now? Are you so free?"
"It's a long story... Just consider yourself unlucky today."
Ed did not let him sit comfortably like this, but pulled him to stand up:
"You're quite popular, Mr. Rogue. There are people helping you everywhere. I almost took a hot shower."
"That's not my accomplice." The man denied while struggling and twisting.
"I know you are an enthusiastic citizen, otherwise what you poured down might not be as simple as boiling water."
Ed pushed him, handcuffed the man in the smock, and pressed him against the wall, threatening:
"So what do you say now, brother, are you going to go through the process and go to the interrogation room to get a severe beating, or are you going to save your energy and just do it right here?"
"I'll recruit, I'll recruit..." the man said helplessly, "Our leader is——"
"Marvin Sinclair, dock worker, twenty-five years old, likes to comb his hair." Ed answered for him in advance, "Tell me the key points, his address, your usual gathering place, and the hiding place of pineapples. Point. And..."
…
After some interrogation, Angelica watched Ed hand over the hooded man to the patrolman. The two of them walked back silently along the street, and Ed suddenly said:
"What's wrong, Angelica, you look a little depressed."
"I'm just... a little worried." Angelica lowered her head and said, "I knew the situation here was bad, but I didn't expect it to be so bad. The living conditions of these citizens are even worse than I imagined, and people seem to be very hostile. us."
Before she came, she had never thought about accepting flowers and applause, but the pot of boiling water really dampened her enthusiasm. It seemed that she was already standing on the opposite side of the general public.
"It's normal for people to be hostile to our profession. I've never heard of any mourner receiving warm hospitality from the family of the deceased." Ed comforted, "And why do you seem to have discovered the New World? Isn't there such a thing as Fort Holland?" Slums?”
"Yes, the slum settlements in the main urban areas have been dismantled. In order to reduce industrial waste gas, the city government signed a decree forcing a large number of factories to move out of the main urban areas, and a number of new resettlement houses were built in the outer urban areas."
Angelica explained seriously:
"And I rarely go out. Most of the time I just walk between the Royal Academy and several scientific research institutes. When I have free time, I occasionally go to the more prosperous business districts with my friends to visit department stores and so on."
"No wonder..." Ed nodded.
After walking a few more steps, he suddenly asked:
“What is the Royal Academy really like?”
