Chapter 170 Narrative Agency City of Silence
"Ask Linus?"

As if surprised by the lieutenant's slowness, Goldie covered his mouth with his fingers and laughed mockingly:

"Seeing me here, you should know it's over."

"he died?"

Colin asked again.Obviously, it was the result of my own efforts, but until now, it feels a little uncomfortable.

Goldie replied:
"Don't worry, this matter went well."

Smoother than most optimistic imagination.

According to the information provided by Ke Lin, the Ninth Branch set up a trap in advance in the so-called secret warehouse.

Linus took the initiative to leave the range of Stade, which is also an extremely rare opportunity for the branch office.Because this also avoids the so-called narrative mechanism.

In the era before the catastrophe in 601, the church was the controller of Stade's extraordinary order.They have spent decades hiding special devices all over the city. These devices are embedded with artificial gemstones that have been calculated and precisely proportioned, thus setting up a special etheric net. The main body is as thin as a silk thread, but evenly covered covering the entire area.

Carefully maintained, this aether is almost as clean as pure salt.But its function is not to transport spiritual essence, but to capture and retain the first cause of all events on this land.Therefore, it is also exaggeratedly called by those in the know:
"Automatic narrative mechanism".

As the network of ether, its channels are extremely narrow. Even if all of them are collected together, the total width will not exceed Ke Lin's current channel.After several improvements made by the church, the number of entrances was finally reduced to the extreme. According to the branch's guess, there will be no more than ten entrances that can be used.

And they haven't found any of them yet.

Because of these two characteristics, the narrative organ was preserved in the 601 massacre. Although part of it was damaged due to interruption of maintenance, more than half of the structure is still in operation today.

And it is still in the hands of the Holy One Seminary and the Jackdaw Hunting Group.

According to the estimation of the sub-bureau, the area preserved by this narrative agency is about 60.00%.

The principality was not sure which areas were still covered, so the church chose not to use this mechanism lightly.

This is to maintain deterrence.

Because if a monitoring system is tested out of a blind spot, it might as well not exist.

This ambiguous mechanism always implies to the Grand Duke that if the religious order wants to investigate a certain incident regardless of the cost, then the probability of them being able to extract usable evidence will be close to 60.00%.

So on some major issues, you'd better not mess around.

With the principality's authorities still in the ascendant, no one wanted to bet on such a small probability event.

Therefore, Linus must not die in the city of Stade.

But last night, he went to the southern suburbs in person and took the initiative to walk out of the coverage of the narrative agency.

There was something even stranger about this matter.

"Actually, if he really wants to leave the city, he can ask for special protection from the Jackdaw Hunting Group or the Holy One Theological Seminary."

Goldie said puzzledly:

"We were prepared to deal with multiple extraordinary people, but in the end, he came alone."

"Linus is not so naive, so I really can't figure out the reason behind it."

"What about you? Do you have any idea?"

I know.

Colin didn't answer Goldie's question, but thought silently.

What Linus wanted was contact and communication.

Therefore, he would not want people from the religious order to intervene.

…………

Linus sighed, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

This is really a trap.

Why did he take the risk to come to the southern suburbs?

Because after letting go of his hatred, he began to see a glimmer of hope in Lieutenant Heinrich.

Because of this glimmer of hope, Linus originally conceived a very grand blueprint.

Although the ideal is a bit unrealistic, he is willing to try it.

Prohibition will inevitably bring social unrest, and this has been confirmed everywhere.But only in Stade, because of the amazing ability and sense of responsibility of the "Lieutenant", the disaster was minimized.

So, what if he mobilized the resources of the church to help him expand the Stade organization to the entire principality, and even the southwest of the entire alliance?
How many tragedies will this avert for millions of ordinary civilians?
So he put his hatred aside and desperately wanted to make contact with the lieutenant.

However, even if he is willing to take the initiative to let go, even if he is the revenge party, it does not mean that the other party will accept it.

"I didn't expect to see you so soon."

A man's voice said in the corner of the night:
"Linus."

"I made a special trip to Stade for you, intending to spend a year eliminating your threat."

But I didn't expect you to show your flaws so easily.

Linus took a deep breath, and with the focus of the intention, the spirit element in the sun pathway connected to his ether via Ziyue.

"You came alone?" The man in the shadow asked curiously:
"Didn't you think it might be a trap?"

While he was speaking, a scorching sun rose briefly in the dilapidated ruins.

That is the power that supports the burning and running of the sun, the most obvious feature is the spirit element, vast and fiery.

"Herwig, City of Silence!"

Linus pronounced the name with difficulty.

Herwig became famous in the persecution in 601. This executioner will be given the title of "City of Silence" by the Grand Duke.It was because of his special style of witchcraft, and because of Danalo's originally prosperous church hymns, which fell into silence because of him.

Leia, who had already landed on Chierxing during the persecution, was killed by him.

"I thought you wouldn't remember my voice."

"After all, you were only in your teens then."

The blazing sun spirit released a strong brilliance during materialization, and some remaining fabrics and wood in the ruins began to burn soundlessly.

Every corner of the scene was illuminated, and even Linus himself had burn marks on his body, but he couldn't find the other party at all.

Moreover, the other party is still talking like chatting:
"Your sister, I remember her name is Leia."

"I have the impression that it was the first time I killed someone... If she didn't choose to resist, there was no need to kill her."

"You can't prove that you are not a threat, so for safety, I have to deal with you."

Linus tried to confirm the other party through the voice, but the voice seemed to come from any corner.Under the other party's provocation, he began to calm down instead.

Linus knew that his most important task now was to escape.

The ether channels of Chi Xing and Chi Er Xing were activated in turn, and in the continuous radiation of the sun's spirit element, it seemed as if the cry of a bird of fire sounded.It was one of the three ceremonies prepared for him by the Holy Province. It was so large that it could even evaporate the ruins and everything within tens of meters nearby.

Because the sun is always strong, the spiritual essence directly provided by him is no less than that of a wizard above the female moon.

But just when the outline of the fire bird grew more and more violent, it was about to swallow everything in the ruins.

The man said softly:
"I still have something to ask you, can I be quiet first?"

There was not even a decent abnormal sound, as if the stone was thrown into the cotton pile dully, and all the illusions caused by the ceremony came to an abrupt end.

Linus found that the connection between himself and the ceremony had been quietly severed.

Compared to directly confronting the rituals that have already taken effect, it is obviously a more efficient choice to directly attack the connection process.

Under the sudden return of darkness, there were bursts of creepy creaking sounds, which were similar to the sound of red stones being separated from the dead.

A human figure emerged from nothing in the ruins, condensing like a crystal.

The body, which is purely made of high-density ether, is receding into the physical world.

"I ask you."

There seemed to be some crystal collisions in the man's voice:

"Do you know how the lieutenant brought the wine in?"
