Quenched long order

Chapter 215 The curtain rises

On the horizon, the fire clouds gradually faded into black mist.

In front of the elegant banquet hall, the lights were brightly lit, and the neatly dressed guards held their heads high and were in high spirits.

Carriages came from around the corner, their finely decorated wheels slowly stopping.

Captain Miranda stepped down from the carriage and landed on the red carpet with her feet. She was wearing a tight white dress, like a swan, and her bright blond hair was particularly dazzling under the light, like the sparkling lake surface, beautiful and moving.

The guards nearby couldn't help but turn their heads and take a peek at this distinguished guest.

In the banquet hall.

Lu Ping, the vice-president of the Golden Dawn Society, was holding a wine glass and walking towards Hume, the next city lord who was surrounded by a crowd. At this moment, the slightly noisy banquet hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at the door of the banquet hall.

A white dress attracted all the attention.

The powerful and wealthy businessmen surrounding City Lord Hume silently moved aside.

Captain Miranda took the wine glass handed over by the attendant beside her. The wine smelled pleasant. She came to the city lord Hume and said:

"Congratulations, Lord Hume."

After saying that, he held out his wine glass.

These words were just like what was said in the office of the Ximu Port Guard Team.

City Lord Hume smiled, extended his wine glass, and replied: "For the future of Ximu Port."

Ding.

Wine glasses clinked.

The crisp sound was not loud, but it spread to every corner of the banquet hall.

……

"Do it!"

Kraut puts on his mask.

At the same time, the alchemy circle lit up at the four corners of the cage prison, and suddenly, blackness darker than the night descended here.

At this moment, there is no light in the cage prison, and you can't see your fingers. What's even more frightening is that even lighting a candle will not help. It seems that there is something wrong with the human eye.

The only people who are not affected are those who wear special masks.

The curtain rises.

It is an extremely representative relic that can block the light in an area. In Ximu Port, if this relic is used, you can always find something as long as you follow the clues.

Kraut and his companions quickly rushed to the cage prison.

Inside the prison.

Outside Sauer's cell.

The trained soldiers did not panic. They remained motionless and did not move a step. This was the commander's order. They did not need to consider anything else. But for some reason, a biting chill rose in their hearts. Moreover, this chill did not seem to come from Outside the prison, but inside the cell they were guarding.

Time passed by minute by minute.

With information about the prison layout from Jason, Kraut quickly found the location of Sauer's cell. He encountered many obstacles along the way, but he solved them all.

"Something is wrong." The alchemist who was traveling with him mentioned.

Kraut looked at the guard lying on the ground in front of him and the cell door that had been opened, feeling very confused.

There was no one in the cell.

"Is there someone else who came before us?" The alchemist frowned, "If that's the case..."

He just finished speaking.

The darkness gradually faded, and the surroundings gradually became brighter.

The time for the relic to take effect was far shorter than expected, and the alchemist responsible for maintaining the magic circle outside the prison was disturbed.

At the same time, footsteps one after another quickly surrounded him.

"The leader has an order. Anyone who breaks into the investigation team's prison tonight must put down their weapons and surrender, and we will spare their lives."

Immediately afterwards, high-pitched threatening voices continued to echo.

"Clout, we have to go." The alchemist beside him urged, and at the same time he walked to the wall and took out a scroll with an alchemical circle drawn on it from his backpack. He sprinkled red powder on the scroll. After that, put the scroll close to the wall, and the magic circle of the scroll gradually glowed red.

The walls began to soften.

Could it be that Sauer's friends rescued him?

Kraut glanced at the cell again, but it was still empty.

"Kraut!" someone traveling with him urged.

Kraut took a deep breath and walked toward the softening wall.

……

Ballroom.

All the eyes of the audience were focused on the host of the banquet.

"Today, on this special day, we are gathered here." "Not long ago, the unknown and terrible black fog came to Ximu Port, casting a shadow over this prosperous city. After that, the disaster from heaven The disaster of Erotica also appeared in this city, and what is even more sad is that the city owner, Mr. Martin Aziz, was also killed by the villains in a brutal way..."

The host paused for two seconds, and the atmosphere in the banquet hall suddenly became sad, and the smell of death seemed to be in the air.

Below, a deputy captain quietly walked to Captain Miranda and whispered in Miranda's ear:

"Captain, it is indeed what you thought. The disaster hunters you arranged are working very hard. They should be able to delay them until they rush over. I believe Kraut and Sauer can't escape."

After listening to this, Commander Miranda looked calm and looked at City Lord Hume, only to find that the other party was also looking at him at the same time, and there was also a confidant beside him who was delivering information.

She smiled and raised her glass slightly.

The same is true for the city lord Hume.

Then, she turned her head to look at the position of Lu Ping, the vice-president of the Golden Dawn Society. The moment she turned her head, she happened to meet his eyes.

Seeing that the atmosphere was appropriate, the host continued to speak:

"However, when Westwood Port was in grief and gloom, Mr. Hume MacMillan, whom we have always trusted and was known as the last door of Westwood Port, stood up and faced the brutal villains and arrested him. He imposed an open and fair punishment on him and warned all lawbreakers in Ximu Port. Faced with the disaster coming from the sky, he led the garrison... Of course, it has now been renamed the Ministry of Security, risking his life and going deep into the disaster. Center, save Ximu Port from crisis..."

When the host said this, the deputy captain standing next to Captain Miranda couldn't help but say something.

"If it weren't for the information provided by the leader, how could it be so easy..."

Captain Miranda glanced at the deputy captain, who immediately shut up.

The host took a deep breath and said in a louder voice:

"...Next, let's invite our protagonist tonight and the future city lord of Westwood Port, Mr. Hume MacMillan!"

When the words fell, the applause was like thunder.

The beam of light fell on the city lord Hume and followed Hume's footsteps.

……

Click.

Sauer reattached his left hand and moved the fingers on his left hand. Everything was normal.

Now, he was hiding in some soldier's quarters, almost blending in with the darkness.

When he was about to die, the hallucinations he saw in his mind, and the conversation with Garland and Natalie who looked like villains, were still deeply etched in his mind after he woke up.

To make everything perfect, this is his future goal.

However, what he didn't expect was that the experience in the hallucination, whether it was a coincidence or a subconscious suggestion, was that after removing the boned left hand, he could still use his left hand. Although it had an impact, it was almost negligible. , even if the body is suppressed by the device, the detached left hand can still be used normally.

He had already tested this secretly.

The ability to control the air allowed him to complete the test without anyone noticing.

These days, he has been waiting for the opportunity. In fact, he woke up much earlier than the doctors of the investigation team realized.

Perhaps it is because the state of emptiness is closer to that of drowsiness. When he wakes up, he has already entered the state of emptiness, and he naturally observes everything around him without even actively controlling it. In other words, the air around him has been in the air for a long time. Under the influence of Zhen's power, it became a part of his body.

He used this time to think carefully about how to leave.

At first, he considered whether someone could save him. However, Bury's last message to him was full of apology and despair. It could not be a disguise. What's more, he had seen the guy chasing Bury before. It was not simple to be able to transform into a crow. , therefore, even if he is the most capable and the most capable, Burry obviously cannot come to his rescue.

Kraut may come to save him, or in other words, he will definitely try to save him, but he thinks the possibility of success is low. The reason is very simple. Kraut was already a member of the investigation team before he was caught. The person you are wary of is not necessarily out of danger. Even if he has recovered, it is almost impossible to rescue him amid layers of obstacles, and it may even hit you.

As for Martha and Jason…

The only person who can really save him is himself. This is the only answer.

Afterwards, in order to lower the vigilance of the investigation team, he entered a state of air sense, pretending to be unconscious, and then secretly used air sense to explore the surroundings bit by bit.

It wasn't until the investigation team used Jason to test and Jason told him the intelligence from the outside that he was finally sure that the opportunity he had been waiting for was about to come.

Tonight, on this special day, there will be no Commander Miranda sitting in the prison of the investigation team. Kraut will definitely choose to take action tonight, and he will also wait for the opportunity to act, but he will definitely not follow Kraut. Escape, his ability, it is more convenient to act alone, but it is easier to be exposed when acting together. More importantly, the core of the whole thing, everything, stems from the existence of the person who can use astrology to know that he escaped from Stewart Island. .

That person is the biggest trouble.

Besides, he still had something to do.

Footsteps came from outside the door, approaching quickly and then moving away.

His disappearance has caused chaos in the investigation team. No matter what, the people of the investigation team will put important forces on Kraut, and even if they catch Kraut, it will take some time to figure things out.

The time Kraut fought for may be his only chance.

The footsteps completely disappeared, and Sauer walked towards the door. Every step he took was almost silent. It seemed that the sound of the soles of the shoes and the ground had been eliminated by the majestic force before it spread out.

The door was opened slightly, and the small creak that should have been heard was almost inaudible.

He had already realized these small details in his movements when he woke up. At the same time, a vague figure vaguely appeared in his mind. He couldn't see clearly, like a mist, but he knew that it might be the prototype of a soul body. .

The Tempered One's ability has already been improved due to the high-intensity fighting, but it can only be noticed when it accumulates to a certain level.

He knew that he had probably entered the second half of the advanced stage of understanding, and was still a little short of entering the next stage.

There must be another way to control the air that he has not noticed yet.
