"Idiot, look here!"
Vician said to Lorenzo, who was furious now. One of his right hands was cut off by Ivan Bell, and the two left hands were stabbed by Vician and Caschia. Wear a pair.
"Hiss...ha..."
Lorenzo twisted his neck and looked around in the center of the secret room. He was now being attacked from both sides. Behind him was Vician holding two daggers. In front of him was Cass, who had just drawn the spear from his shoulder. Chia.The farthest away from him was Ivan Bell, who he almost succeeded, and the farthest away from everyone was Alice, who was chanting a spell.
The injuries caused by losing three hands previously made Lorenzo sober up a little. He couldn't give up just yet, even if it was for the sake of "Ana" who was whispering to him beside him.
Lorenz, who could barely be considered a half-magician, targeted Alice for his next attack because he knew how difficult it was for magicians to deal with her.Magicians usually spend a lot of time chanting a spell, and the power of their magic is usually proportional to the time of chanting.
In order to avoid further trouble, Lorenzo jumped up. He lay on the wall like a spider and quickly crawled over with his remaining hands.
Alice was really frightened. Opposite them, Vician had already stepped on the overturned table and rushed towards them. Caschia did not move behind him.
To be precise, he chose to deal with the situation at hand in other ways.The oil lamp that Caschia usually used for lighting finally came into play as a weapon. Caschia opened a piece of glass on the lamp, and the blue flame in the lamp immediately burst out impatiently.
Alice saw the flames expand in the air, forming human faces.
Come to think of it, why are the weapons of the Abyss Crosser so ordinary?
Ivan Bell's chains can turn into flames and his scythe can pass through walls.So it makes perfect sense that Caschia has an oil lamp that can release souls...?
The temperature in the secret room dropped crazily after the imprisoned souls were released. This temperature seemed to take Alice back to the night she encountered the "March of the Dead."
Those undead spirits entangled Lorenzo, and they sent out their dying screams in his ears, constantly attacking him mentally.Lorenzo covered his head and fell from the ceiling.
"Roar ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
"Don't be stunned, attack!"
Vician did not let go of the opportunity created by Caschia. He shuttled between Lorenzo's claws waving randomly, the dagger in his hand flew up and down, and one bloody hole after another successfully appeared on Lorenzo. on the body.
Caschia's undead attack does not always work. Lorenzo has gradually adapted to the undead attack and now begins to struggle to get up.
Ivan Bell also made the same plan as Caschia. She concentrated and held her breath, and the chain on her scythe disappeared.When those chains appeared again, they were wrapped around Lorenzo's body. This was Ivan Bell's previous method of dealing with the fallen.
The binding attack of the physics department was very effective. Lorenzo's remaining hands were tightly bound by chains. The hand that managed to escape the restraint attack was also discovered by Caschia and nailed to the ground.
"I'm ready! Get out of the way!"
Alice, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke. She had finished reciting the spell, and a powerful magic was waiting to be released.
"[Elemental Judgment·Heavenly Punishment]!"
This was a magic that Alice chose to release only after communicating with Starlight. This magic was incredibly consuming and almost drained the magic power of both of them.
But precisely because of this, the power of this magic is comparable to the breath of a dragon.
Seven or eight magic circles shining with magic appeared around Lorenzo, and even Ivan Bell, who was not a magician, noticed the energy contained in them.They left the encirclement of the magic circle and retreated to the door of the secret room.Alice stretched out her staff forward, and the gems on the staff shone brightly.
Immediately afterwards, those magic circles suddenly launched several light blades. Those light blades came and went as fast as they came. When the magic circles disappeared and the magic power in the secret room also dissipated, Alice and her party were able to see Luo clearly. What Renso looks like now.
Lorenzo fell to the side, his limbs and body neatly cut open by the light blade, and his boiling blood was corroding his remaining body.After a while, the tortured man finally completely disappeared in Nirnati, leaving only an indistinguishable trace.
The battle with Lorenzo started incredibly quickly, even when they ended.Alice didn't know what Lorenzo's last thoughts were, nor could she hear clearly the name he intended to say before his death.
The pain that Lorenzo had to bear and give him came to an end. This was the best ending that God could give him.
Alice failed to fulfill her promise to "bring the prisoner back", and all she could do was to bring Lorenzo's diary back to Ander.She picked up the increasingly tattered diary, carefully brushed off the dust on the cover, and put it back into her pocket.
"It's over, let's go back to Ander."
Alice said this to her companions who had relaxed. At the same time, an inexplicable uneasiness hit her heart.
——TBC——
Chapter 46 The occupied imperial capital
No one expected this to happen. The heads of the residents were chopped off and placed on the flags on both sides of the city gate.The white stone brick wall of Ander was also engraved with the mark of the Thief's Wrist, and the twisted pattern was mocking everyone, including Alice and the others.
After all, Lorenzo is just a pawn. His role on the conspiracy board is just to keep Alice and the others away from Ander, so that the Thieves can have enough time to seize the country.
"Something feels wrong to me."
"It ended too easily."
Even if they all had a bad premonition, even if they had a correct guess, it was already too late. When Alice and the others rushed back from the Blackwater Marsh after spending three days, it was too late to take any remedial measures.
The imperial capital Ander was completely destroyed.
In order to complete their conspiracy, Thief's Wrist deliberately lured Alice and her party away. It was either other people or them who had accurately tracked Lorenzo's whereabouts.
——————————————————————————————————
【Monday
I was ordered by my lord Fulenhoek to monitor a mage. I heard the mage muttering something in front of the crystal ball, something similar to a girl who "has the ability to spy on time" and the people gathered around her.I reported this matter to my lord, who summoned the mage.
There was a long blank space at this point in the diary, and it was not until the page was about to turn that the diary continued.
My Lord gave me a new order. My Lord needs me to stop a person named Alice. For my Lord, I will do it truthfully. 】
Alice slapped her forehead in annoyance, knowing she had missed something.She had been so hasty when looking through this diary that she completely forgot such important information.
It's too late to say anything now. The five of them are the last people who can move freely outside Ander City.
Thief's Wrist didn't know what means he used to completely seal off Ander and the surrounding area. No one could escape from there, and no one could enter there. The imperial capital became a prison.
The one who holds the key to the cage is the leader of the Band of Thieves, the immortal Forlenhawk.
In order to avoid Vollenhoek's scouts, Alice and her party parked the carriage in a forest a little far away from Ander. The view there was poor, but it was better at concealment.
"The king's messenger is here." Visian said as he walked out of the depths of the forest.
On his raised arms rested two birds.One is the peregrine falcon that Alice is familiar with, Pergede's special postman; and the other white and black eagle is the messenger of King Odes.
The unlucky eagle must have been attacked when it flew out of Ander. Its wings were bleeding. It can be said that it was a miracle that it could fly here safely.
"Did the king say something?"
"You can see for yourself, I have to help the other two."
Vician had to help Caschia and Ivan Bell, who were trying to get information from outside the city walls. He couldn't take the two birds with him, so he left the two heroic and wounded messengers in the care of Alice.
Alice shrugged. She simply bandaged the injured eagle's wound, then unfolded the letter and read it.
The letter came with two sheets of paper, one was just a letter, and the other contained a lot of information.
[To Miss Alice Black, and her companions.
Ander has fallen. If you have arrived outside the imperial capital, you should have discovered it.I won't repeat how Ander fell here, our focus is not here.The point is, we need your help. Please help us take back Ander.
Roy Crow, leader of the Court Mages]
[A simple but rigorous map is drawn on the front of the letter, and the following information is written on the back of the letter.
Thief's Hands - Number of enemies in the Earldom - Unknown
Hammer of Hel - The number of enemies in the arena - about 40 people
Others - the number of enemies in the imperial capital - about a hundred people
The royal family and the court mage group - the number of enemies in the underground prison of the palace - everyone except the above (including the leader of the Band of Thieves)]
This was the only information that could be learned from the letter sent by the leader of the court mage group. Alice folded the letter and joined her companions with two large birds in her arms.She found them near Nevisto's carriage, the three of them gathered together and pointing at the map on the table.
"Oh, you're here."
"Alice, did you find anything?"
"I have read the king's letter. It says..."
Alice let go of the birds, and then came to the simple war table. This table was used by them for dinner yesterday.The letter from the Mages was placed on the table along with the letter from Pelgard, and they began to discuss the information provided by the two letters.
"What we can know now is that each of the city gates in the east, west, south and north has three groups of guards patrolling in shifts. Their shift change time is very short, so a frontal breakthrough is not feasible."
"Then in the sky, they deployed archers on the top of the tower. Seeing that the eagle's wings were injured, it must have been shot by the archers."
"As for the sewers leading to the interior of Ander, they have also been blocked. Caschia and Ivan Bell checked and found that they are all blocked."
Visian went through all the information he had compiled. From his summary, it can be understood that there is basically no possibility for them to enter Ander safely, unless...
"They will have a shipment waiting for acceptance in an hour."
This is the information provided by Robinson. This brave young lady exchanged her beautiful face for this news. It is better not to think about the specific operation.
"We can blend into the pile of items to be inspected, as long as they don't recognize our faces."
"They shouldn't know...oh, no. Don't tell me..."
"Yes, thanks to the portraits kindly provided by Count Albert. Once we are recognized by the guards, it clicks."
Vician scratched twice in front of his neck, and Alice understood what he meant.Their previous grievances with Albert have continued to this day, and their faces have long been recorded in each other's notebooks.
"What should we do? Where is Ivan Bell? The Earl probably doesn't know her."
"She has been with us for most of the imperial capital. What do you think is the chance that the earl will not know about the existence of "Ivan Bell" from other people's mouths?"
"Ah, this is... embarrassing."
The four members of Alice's party were basically labeled as "shoot to death on sight", but if we really talk about it, who else would have the chance to enter Alder...?
"Starlight! The count has absolutely, absolutely never seen her!"
Starlight has indeed never been seen. Except for the time when she was in the Hammer of Hel, she was fast asleep in the arcane weapon at other times.
This is a loophole, a loophole that can be exploited by Alice and the others.
"We can turn Starlight back into the form of a weapon, and then let her sneak into Thief's Wrist's truck."
"Alice, did you say that you two can still have a conversation no matter how far apart you two are?"
"Well, that's right. Wait. I'll tell Starlight to get up."
Alice quickly woke up Starlight, who appeared rubbing her eyes. She was surrounded by everyone, and everyone looked at her seriously.
"Hmm? What's wrong? You guys look so scary. Master, what happened?"
Starlight shrank toward Alice in fear, and Alice put her back down.
"Listen Starlight, I have an important task for you. We are in big trouble now. Do you know what big trouble means? Yes, that's good."
"Later, you will change back to your weapon form, and Sister Ivan Bell will put you in the truck. Don't be afraid, you will change back to your human form after entering the interior of the imperial capital."
"We need you to go to the imperial capital to inquire about information. I will contact you with my mind along the way. Do you understand?"
