When Duanmuhuai came to General Pastor again, the general in front of him almost looked several years older.
"Oh, you are finally back!
"
Seeing Duanmuhuai appear, General Pastor seemed to have seen a savior.
"If you don't come back, I don't know what to do!"
"As for it?"
Looking at the haggard General Pastor in front of him, Duanmuhuai was also stunned. He had only been away for a while, so why did he look like he was about to die?
"As for, why not? If you don't come again, I'm going to run away!
"
When Pastor saw Duanmuhuai, it was like seeing the savior, and he complained to him with runny nose and tears.
This period of time was definitely not easy for Pastor. Although he is not a high-ranking official, and he does not have to learn the advanced tricks of those noble and high-ranking officials who engage in conspiracy with swords and swords while drinking and drinking, but the so-called leader's words can cause the soldiers to break their legs. At the moment, Pastor is actually the "little soldier". He is required to maintain public security in Altdorf, strictly control the entire city, and not allow others to enter and exit at will.
What can Pastor do? Could he say no?
So you still can’t work?
But if he did this, wouldn't the people of Altdorf complain? Of course it’s impossible!
There is an undercurrent surging in the royal city, and the people of Altdorf are not fools. They know that there is probably no good thing happening when the three princes are gathered together, and no one wants to wade into this muddy water. Besides, most of them are just ordinary people, and imperial rule is too far for them, right?
As a result, the city was sealed. Good guy, who can escape? !
At this time, everyone with some connections started to get busy.
Of course they didn't dare to go to the eldest prince. If they told him that they planned to leave at this time, wouldn't it be tantamount to running away openly? The imperial nobles and businessmen are not stupid enough!
So General Pastor, as the commander of the garrison, was in bad luck.
During this period of time, people have been coming in and out, either giving him gifts or threatening him, and all they asked for was to ask General Pastor to show his kindness, give them a horse, and let them evacuate a few people. Altdorf.
General Pastor naturally couldn't agree to this at all!
Although he is incompetent, he is not stupid!
These bastards ran away and disappeared. When the problem was discovered by the superiors, wouldn't you be the unlucky one?
Therefore, the position of Paste is actually a bit similar to the ancient Shuntian Fuyin, who was responsible for the management of the royal city. Once it's done, of course, maybe I'll take off my flower-feathered hair and join Ning Guta and the armored man as a slave.
Even if you don’t behead, you have to thank the Lord for His grace.
What a miserable situation.
If he hadn't firmly believed that Duanmu Huai was the chosen one of Sigma, and Pastor's belief in Sigma was firm enough to be determined to rebel, he would have packed up his bedroll and prepared to run away by now.
"Don't worry."
Seeing Pastor's miserable expression of almost kneeling on the ground and "asking the master to make the decision for me", Duanmuhuai reached out and patted him on the shoulder in a funny way.
"Everything goes well, no problem, just wait and see the good show."
"Huh...that's good."
Hearing this, General Pastor breathed a sigh of relief, slumped down in his chair, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"How's the situation here?"
"The Vulture sent me a message before, saying that the pile of dimensional stones was transported out of the Magic Academy and its whereabouts are unknown. He is tracing it."
Vulture is the code name of the witch hunter. Duanmu Huai thought he died in some corner, but now he seems to be alive and well.
However, the dimension stone was transported away...
Duanmu Huai closed his eyes and sensed the murderous doll. Fortunately, he had guessed that something was wrong before and sent several murderous dolls to follow him. Now it seems that they have also moved together... underground in the royal city?
Yo ho? You know how to find a place, are you planning to blow up the royal city?
"Okay, I know how to handle this."
Duanmuhuai made a decision quickly, and then looked at Pastor.
"General Pastor, there is only one thing I ask you to do next. On the day of the banquet, some people will definitely take to the streets to cause trouble. I hope you can lead your subordinates to maintain public order in Altdorf! Don't let anything happen to the royal city. That’s it!”
In fact, the emperor's requirements for Pastor were not high. He only required him to do his job well--if the requirements were too high, he couldn't do it, right?
"this…………………"
Hearing Duanmuhuai's request, Pastor hesitated and nodded vigorously.
"Okay, on the day of the banquet, I will order the whole city to be under martial law starting from noon. No one will be allowed to go out. I will send all soldiers to patrol the city. But... can you tell me what you are planning to do? ? It won’t affect the people in the city..."
"If everything goes well, it probably won't happen. Don't worry."
Duanmuhuai laughed again and stood up.
"You just put your heart in your stomach, do what you have to do, and then sleep for a while. When you wake up the next morning, everything is over."
After hearing Duanmuhuai's words, General Pastor was silent for a moment and sighed.
"I hope... that's the case."
After bidding farewell to General Pastor, Duanmu Huai returned to his residence, and then he saw An and Elf Princess staring at each other.
"Okay, what are the results of your investigation?"
Duanmuhuai ignored the delicate atmosphere between the two and asked. When hearing Duanmuhuai's question, An frowned, showing a bitter look on his face.
"This is really difficult to track, and I'm not very familiar with the magic here, so I can't guess..."
"The aura of the Chaos Evil God has polluted this city."
The elf princess replied calmly without saying much.
Duanmuhuai was not surprised by their reaction. In fact, after the two girls entered Altdorf City, they immediately felt a strong sense of uneasiness and crisis. After all, both An and the elf princess are powerful mages, and their sensitivity to spiritual energy is naturally extremely keen. Now they probably feel as uncomfortable as going from a forest with fresh air to a city with serious air pollution.
"Anyway, it's definitely not a good thing. What are your analysis results?"
"The core of the magic circle should be here."
An stretched out her hand and pointed to the royal city in the center of the map. At the same time, she was holding a pendant in her left hand that looked like it was made by machinery. According to An, it was a "magic charm" popular at Manalia Magic Academy. "Mechanical Divination" technology can assist to a certain extent in finding what you want to find.
Of course, how useful it can be in this world... is another matter.
The elf princess also nodded slightly.
"All spiritual energy is concentrating here. There should be some kind of node or something. Generally speaking, the royal city does not allow excessive concentration of spiritual energy..."
Where psychic energy is too concentrated, it is easy to cause mutations, and even cause children to become deformed or give birth to psychics. For a place like the Royal City, there should definitely be a similar barrier to isolate it, but now it seems that those guys' plan has been half successful.
"In other words, these guys plan to use the dimensional stones to attract spiritual energy, and then play a big role in the royal city? They are sure to cause trouble."
Duanmu Huai thought for a moment and looked at the two people.
"Is there a solution?"
"Wouldn't it be better to just absorb it?"
"Destroy the flow of the nodes to prevent the continued absorption of spiritual energy."
However, An and the elf princess gave completely different suggestions. Then, the elf princess stared at An suspiciously.
"What are you talking about in your sleep? How can you absorb such a huge psychic energy?"
"It's very simple."
Facing the elf princess's doubts, An took out the magic book she had always carried with her from her waist.
"Just absorb the magic into my grimoire."
"Oh? Is this okay?"
Looking at the magic book in An's hand, Duanmu Huai also asked curiously. He had been traveling with An for some time, and he knew that An's magic book never left her body, and every time she released magic, she would Taking out this magic book, Duanmu Huai didn't know the use of this magic book. In short, it shouldn't be used to hit people like Lorena's holy book.
"certainly!"
After saying this, he became excited when he settled down.
"And I also drew inspiration from your spell-casting skills, Mr. Knight. If I can absorb a large amount of magic power and condense it into the pages of the book, I can use the magic power to activate magic at any time without chanting! I was just thinking about trying it. Try it!"
"Oh I got it………"
Hearing An's words, Duanmu Huai nodded. It seemed that An was inspired by his previous use of soul cards and mistakenly thought it was some kind of instant magic technique, so he followed his plan and tried it. try.
"Do not joke!"
However, the elf princess directly interrupted An's speech.
"You are just a human being, there is no way you can withstand so much psychic energy! What you do will only bring disaster!"
"What, do you look down on humans?"
An also raised his eyebrows and stared at the elf princess.
"I am the chief of the Magic Academy, and my skills in using magic are no worse than yours!"
"Human beings are really arrogant. No matter how high your spiritual talent is, as long as you are a human, it is impossible..."
"Okay, okay, okay..."
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Duanmu Huai hurriedly interrupted the argument. Ann thinks based on the common sense of Manalia, while the Elf Princess thinks based on the magical common sense of this world. Their standards are completely different.
As the elf princess said, it is not easy to be a mage in this world, especially a human mage. They do not have the psychic affinity of elves, nor the psychic resistance of dwarves. Therefore, if magic is used all the time, humans will mutate - similar to mutations caused by long-term radiation. This is one of the reasons why civilians in this world hate mages.
"Above Heaven"
"In short, I plan to try An's method first. Your Highness, I understand what you mean, but we must be prepared."
As Duanmuhuai spoke, he looked at the elf princess.
"You can go and rest, thank you for your assistance."
"………………"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the elf princess was stunned for a moment, then she lowered her head and returned to her room obediently.
Seeing this scene, An chuckled lightly.
"Let me tell you, she must have fallen in love with you because you, Mr. Knight, heroically saved the beauty."
"hehe."
Facing An's words, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes.
He doesn't want to say anything now.
