Chapter 161 Reaction

"City guards are dispatched! Idlers retreat!"

In the face of this terrible disaster that occurred in the central part of Helgana, the actions of the city guards were not unpleasant, but even so, after they rode horses in the city and rushed to the scene quickly, they did not see a single person. The figure of the suspected murderer.

Not far from the center of the attack, the civilians who had suffered the indiscriminate disaster either passed out on the road, or groaned faintly because of their heavy injuries.

Beside them, many people who were lucky enough not to be affected were completely shocked by the disaster that happened right before their eyes or behind them just now, and they accepted the questioning of the serious-looking city guards in a daze.

"Damn it! Hurry up and get some doctors! The potions we have equipped are also handed over to these people! When their injuries are slightly stable, we will immediately take them all to the station for interrogation!

How dare to do such a thing under our noses, this evil mage is too rampant! "

Ron Colin, deputy brigade captain of the city guards, who was fully armed, was filled with anger when he saw the tragic scene in front of him. If it wasn't for the fact that the brigade captain Nicholas Bivis wanted to rate the martial arts of the city guards this morning, it would have affected them. According to the daily patrol mission arrangement, they will never come to the scene so late.

Such a big event that happened in the imperial capital cannot be suppressed no matter what, it seems that I have to let the brigade leader go to the mage guild to seek the divination support of the prophecy mage.

On the other side, in an empty alleyway not far from the explosion site, suddenly there was the sound of staggering footsteps like a ghost, and there were some heavy breathing sounds from time to time.

As time passed, a stream of multicolored light appeared in the void, and then the light faded slowly, revealing that one of the young men in ragged clothes was Xia Lin who had just been attacked.

Although he didn't expect the shield technique at all, Xia Lin didn't expect the attacker to be so cautious. After the first fireball technique that broke the shield technique, he fired three fireball techniques one after another.

If he hadn't used the second-ring evocation spells scorching ray and breath of frost in the time gained by the shield technique, with the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction, and the help of the aftermath of the first fireball technique, it would have gone smoothly. A hole was opened in the thick spell rock wall.

Then he decisively used the invisibility spell scroll and quickly moved away from the attack scene. I am afraid that he is already a cloud of dust mixed with the soil.

But even so, the aftermath of the second fireball technique still caused him a lot of damage.

Most of the skin and muscles on the back were burned, and the internal organs seemed to have received a lot of impact.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Xia Lin silently assessed his injuries, and then couldn't bear the tight pain in his chest anymore. He coughed for a while while supporting the wall of the alleyway, and finally spit out a mouthful of dirty blood, and immediately felt that his breathing became much easier.

If it was placed in the previous life, Xia Lin who suffered such an injury could already find a quiet place as his own grave, but in this world with extraordinary power, this level of injury is not a problem for the time being.

Xia Lin took out a middle-finger-sized crystal potion bottle with a charming deep crystal red liquid inside, pulled out the cork on it, and drank the potion inside in two gulps.

This secondary life potion is naturally produced by Sophia, and the cost is about ten gold lunettes. Although it cannot achieve the magical effect of life and death, it is still possible to temporarily suppress Xia Lin's injury and let him recover a little bit. .

Feeling that the ingredients of the potion turned into a warm current in the body and began to take effect slowly, Xia Lin's breathing became much smoother, and the pain in the viscera was no longer so obvious, and the bloody wounds on the forehead and back were also gone. The bleeding stopped quickly, and the itchy feeling gradually came.

"Fortunately, I have money!"

With lingering fear, Xia Lin put the crystal potion bottle back into the interlayer of his belt. The tattered mage's robe fell from behind him to the ground. He looked back and couldn't help showing a wry smile.

If it wasn't for the money to buy these life-saving things, I'm afraid he would have explained it on that street today. Whether it is a three-ring spell scroll or a secondary life potion, they are all valuable things. Among them, this set of things will cost them at least several years of income.

But no matter what the price is, it is a good thing to survive. Xia Lin looked around the deep and deserted alleyway vigilantly, put on his hood, and hurried to the west district by choosing a remote road.

As he was on his way, he began to send messages to Queen Dorothea and Harper using message techniques, asking the queen to investigate the assassination, and at the same time let Harper alone prepare a ship to pick him up at the edge of the North District and the West District. .

Will be assassinated in such a place, Xia Lin suspects that his whereabouts have been completely controlled by the conservatives, he will not be so stupid as to run to the pier in the North District where the crowd is mixed, wearing such tattered clothes, it is good Tell the enemy that I am still alive and well in this world!
Just during this time, Xia Lin also felt that he was too popular and attracted the attention of too many interested people. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to take this opportunity to hide for a while to observe the changes in the situation.

"What did you say? Xia Lin, you were assassinated on the streets of the Central District?!"

Upon receiving the message from Xia Lin, Princess Dorothea immediately showed a shocked expression, and quickly replied in disbelief.

"Yes, Your Royal Highness, although the apparent reason for the assassin was my research theory that motivated me to assassinate me, but I feel that things are definitely not that simple. I guess there must be conservative actions in this, Otherwise, the city guards would not have come so late.

Your Royal Highness, the conservatives have no scruples about such indecent means, do you still hesitate? "

"..."

"I understand, Sir Charlene, I will contact the two earls and Viscount Hart as soon as possible to finalize what you said.

Conservatives dared to assassinate our people on the street. I was negligent before. I will arrange a knight to protect your safety and prevent this kind of thing from happening again!At the same time, I will immediately arrange for someone to fight back against this! "

Unexpectedly, such a thing would happen in Helgana. The rampant actions of the conservatives made Princess Dorothea feel deeply disturbed and angry. She paced back and forth in her palace a few times solemnly, and finally After making up his mind, he said decisively to Xia Lin in the communication technique.

"There is no need to arrange protection or counterattack, Your Royal Highness, these actions of mine have attracted the attention of too many interested people recently, I am going to take this opportunity to hide for a while, pretending that I have died in the assassination, and let the conservatives Take your eyes off me first, otherwise our plan will not be easy to implement.

Moreover, since the conservatives dare to do this, they must have taken precautions. If we act rashly, it will be very difficult to succeed.

Your Royal Highness, what we have to do now is to perfect the plan as soon as possible, and at the same time find evidence of the conservatives' participation in this matter, and attack the conservatives from the open. "

However, Xia Lin, who had already made a decision, rejected the kindness of Princess Dorothea.

"Fake death? That's a good idea!"

Upon hearing Xia Lin's persuasion, Princess Dorothea suppressed the anger in her chest, regained her composure and thought for a while, then affirmed Xia Lin's thoughts, and then sent a message:

"That said, you reminded me of one thing. My royal father attaches great importance to you. If you pretend to die in this assassination, someone must pay the price for such a big event.

And the brigade captain of the city guards is now Nicholas Bivis, the younger brother of the Viscount de la Bivis of the Bivis family, and we are just deputy brigade captains with insufficient real power.

If we can push our people to the position of brigade captain through this matter, then our next plan will go much smoother. "

The Bivis family, like the Colin family, are the emperor's trusted vassals. Often, the two of them will respectively control the power of the palace guard and the city guard, and install their own people in each other's territory. This is also a check and balance of the emperor. measures.

Normally, even if there is a problem with one of the palace guards or the city guards, there will be no situation that the emperor cannot control, but this time the assassination of Xia Lin has allowed the enlightened faction to intervene The grounds of the city guard.

This idea also made Xia Lin's eyes shine. Indeed, if they can use this opportunity to reach into the city guards, then their next plan will be much simpler, and that would be a blessing in disguise. Here, Xia Lin agreed with the communication technique and said:

"Then Her Royal Highness needs to act quickly. If it takes too long, it will delay a lot of things. Especially the Xinglan Industrial Park, Her Royal Highness and the two earls have to help me take care of it during this time!"

"I will, please rest assured! Sir Charlene!"

After finishing the communication of the communication technique, Princess Dorothea looked at the sky outside the window, and couldn't help but feel a wave of shock and fear in her heart.

The current key figures in the alliance are her and Xia Lin, but as the princess, she only provides a foundation for the alliance in name, and Xia Lin is the soul role that the alliance can move forward.

The Xinglan Industrial Park, the New Army, the Metric Weights and Measures Promotion Institute, the Agricultural Cooperative, the road repair plan, and the next most important plan.

All of these things require Xia Lin to advise her and the alliance behind the scenes, and even personally conduct unified command. If something happens to him, Dorothea can't imagine how she will deal with the complicated situation she will face next.

Through this assassination incident, Princess Dorothea suddenly realized that what the conservatives were playing with her was not a warm and affectionate housekeeping game, but a battle for the throne full of blood and fire.

This incident made her completely determined, decided to adopt Xia Lin's suggestion, and made preparations in advance to use her own power to control Wyrmrest Palace, and even control Helgana.
