I made science magic

"Outside the harbor town is Nordland, outside Nordland is the Sekas Empire, and outside the empire is a much wider world..."

Lin En whispered to himself, this world is filled with magic and divine arts, and there are countless secrets waiting to be explored.

“Forget it, you probably can’t understand.” Without waiting for Ivina’s reply, Lin En shook his head.

For most residents of this world, a town, a village, and a family are everything, and this matter has nothing to do with them.

Can't you understand? Ivana stared at Lin En's departing back with a complicated expression until the door was tightly closed.

The girl was silent for a while, then suddenly lowered her head, bit the leather rope that bound her hands, and tore it with all her might.

But this rope made of special materials is very tough, and teeth alone are of no use. While struggling, the girl's legs hit the table leg hard.

The black book on the table was shaken to the ground and rolled all the way to Ivina's side.

The brown-haired girl paused where she was. The words on the pages of the book were very sloppy, but Ivana recognized at a glance that it was the handwriting of her brother Lotte.

[Maybe without me, everything will be fine...]

Chapter 36: Battle of Harbor Town

At midnight, in the harbor town, the people who had been sleeping soundly were awakened by the sharp flames and the noisy crows.

"Fire...fire..." "Help, someone help me!"

After more than a decade of peace, the residents of the harbor town who were suddenly attacked immediately fell into chaos. The streets were in chaos, and screams and shouts echoed in every corner of the town.

At this moment, Lin En was standing on the roof of a house, his eyes like an eagle's looking in the direction of the fire.

This is the first ring of magic——【Tik's Farsightedness】

It allows a wizard to have the precise farsightedness of a griffin for a short period of time.

During the few days he stayed in the harbor town, in addition to collecting intelligence and making black gunpowder, Lin En also did not fall behind in learning new magic. He had already read the book "Basic Magic Universal" to pieces.

"Is it Johnny and the white dove?" Lynn muttered to himself as he stared at the flocks of gray crows and the figures leaping in the firelight in the distance.

Did they escape first?

and many more……

Lynn soon noticed something was wrong. The two witches did not look like they were being tortured.

Maybe... they didn't escape.

Instead, he was preparing to enter the Harbor Town Prison to rescue people!

Lin En immediately thought of this possibility and frowned.

Before taking action tonight, he had thought of dozens of possible emergencies, and even anticipated that the Holy See would set a trap in Harbor Town tonight and wait for him to fall into it.

But what no one expected was that Anluik would dare to publicize it so ostentatiously without catching anyone.

The archbishop was undoubtedly making a huge gamble, betting that these wizard apprentices had not been able to reunite with each other, otherwise tomorrow's public ceremony would become a complete joke.

You have to know that there are real gods in this world. If the other party dares to temporarily find a few prisoners to impersonate wizards in a witch-hunting ceremony held in public like this, it would be tantamount to blasphemy!

It was obvious that the archbishop made the right bet. Although he did not fall into the trap, Johnny and White Dove took the risk for him!

But since neither of the two witches was caught, who was the person who leaked the information about the [Ships Gang]?

Anruk's personal visit to the harbor town and the implementation of the port closure and various measures against the [ship gang] could not be faked, which was one of the reasons why he believed that the two men might have been arrested.

While he was lost in thought, the crows' cries over the harbor town became increasingly faint, which meant that Johnny and White Dove were about to give up.

Lynn was not in a hurry to act because there were only a few hundred guards surrounding the two witches, and Archbishop Anluk and the three thousand elite guards did not take the field.

This is also a bait, and he is the big fish that Anruk wants to catch...

"071, given the current situation, if we face off head-on, what chances do we have of winning?" Lin En asked silently in his heart.

His biggest trump card is the huge amount of black gunpowder placed on the dock. As long as he uses the information gap and the convenience brought by magic shaping to lure Anluk and others over, he can directly blow them up into the sky. But now it seems that this goal may be difficult to achieve.

[The estimated winning rate is lower than the safety threshold. According to the agreement target, aliens should not be included in the protection targets. According to the Federal Citizen Life Safety Law, you should make protecting yourself your first priority! ]

Lin En was silent for a while, then asked again, "Then can you analyze why Johnny and White Dove risked their lives to enter Harbor Town?"

[Ninety-seven percent probability...they are here to save you, sir!]

"So you know what, 071?" Lynn looked at the fire burning in the distance and said to himself in his mind.

"Sometimes aliens are people too!"

……

At the same time, in the church of Harbor Town, Archbishop Anruk was staring at the chaos in Harbor Town in a trance.

The screams and wails that were faintly heard by their ears made the priests present change color, but Anluk seemed not to hear them. He turned his head to look at Adyan beside him and asked.

"How is it, have you obtained any useful clues from the torture in the past few days?"

"Reporting to the bishop, some powerful psychic magic has been set up in Hawke's brain. I have tried several methods, but I haven't been able to break through this limitation." Adrian explained with great shame.

A few days ago, while the Archbishop was personally leading the elite guards to hunt down those devil followers, he led his men to raid the town of Ur. Based on the information he had previously obtained from Will, he went to the Drunkard Tavern and captured Old Hawke, who had not yet escaped.

However, what disappointed Adrian was that there was some kind of psychic magic protecting the other party's brain. When he released divine magic to explore intelligence, he almost made the other party mentally retarded.

The only gain was some information about the Harbor Town found in a secret room in the Drunkard Tavern.

"It doesn't matter. We will have a new source of intelligence soon." Anluk said calmly, without any intention of blaming Adrian.

"My Lord Bishop, do we need to continue to increase our manpower? If this continues, these two wizard apprentices may escape from our control." Adrian glanced at the riots in the west of the harbor town and asked cautiously.

Because someone controlled the gray crows to set fire to the granary in the harbor town, most of the stationed guards were dispatched to put out the fire, leaving only two priests and three hundred guards responsible for the pursuit.

If this continues, more and more civilians will be affected...

Adrian silently swallowed the second half of the sentence. He had always disagreed with the bishop's move to set up the battlefield in the harbor town, which would only put the defenseless townspeople in danger.

"Now is not the time to act, Adrian!" Anruk's haggard face was stern as he stared at the priest in front of him and spoke again. "A moment of mercy will only lead to a more terrible disaster."

"The hellfire burning outside the town of Ur has not been extinguished yet. If we fail to catch the wizard named Carl this time, this horrible scene will probably happen again in every corner of Nordland."

"The merciful Lord will forgive you and me for my mistakes..."

Anruk looked back at the flames burning in the sky above the harbor town and chanted in a very hoarse voice.

“May their souls return to the holy land and receive eternal protection. May their true spirits not fall into the abyss of the devil…”

The priests in the church also showed compassion on their faces, and soon they sang melodious hymns together, wishing that those townspeople who died in this conflict and endured endless suffering in their lifetime would be reborn in the holy land of the Lord...

Chapter 37: Offense and Defense Reversal

The melodious hymns echoing in the church, intertwined with the chaotic scene in the harbor town, seemed particularly strange.

Adrian, who was in the midst of it, seemed to have his soul cleansed by the hymns and was reminded of the teachings in the Bible.

Life and death are actually not important. Everywhere is the Lord’s pasture. These sacrificed townspeople have simply returned to the Lord’s arms in advance.

After the hymn ended, Anruk looked around at everyone and spoke softly.

"The great eternal god [Ella] will be with you and me!"

Perhaps the words of the archbishop worked, or perhaps the light of Ella had already shone on this border town, and the chaotic scene outside the church was quickly subsiding.

Anluk was quite surprised and walked to the window, gazing down at the northwest side of the entire harbor town. The fire burning above the granary had been extinguished, and the townspeople were being led away from the fighting area in an orderly manner.

He could not see the figures of the two wizard apprentices directly, but based on the trajectory of the gray crows in the sky, Anluk quickly determined that the two had fallen into trouble and were being driven away from a crowded area.

The route seems to end at the pier in the harbor town?

"Who is in charge of command at the front line now?" Anluk asked in surprise.

"It should be Danny and Pastor Albert." Adrian replied.

The archbishop thought about the two priests’ usual performance. He did not remember that they had such outstanding command abilities. Could it be that this was a judgment made by a captain of the guards in Harbor Town?

Thinking of this, Anluik couldn't help but feel the urge to find talented people, so he asked the guard at the gate to go and ask.

Two or three minutes later, a guard pushed the door open and walked in. He glanced at Adrian standing aside and responded with a strange expression.

"Reporting to the Bishop, according to the militia responsible for the evacuation, now is..."

"Now it is Pastor Adrian who is giving the order!"

Hearing this, everyone present turned their eyes to Adrian, who was also confused as he had always stayed in the church and had never gone out.

Anruk's face immediately turned ugly. During the more than ten years he served as a bishop in Nordland, he had encountered wizards who were proficient in shaping magic, and he was well aware of how much trouble these people could cause.

Under the questioning gazes of the crowd, Adrian seemed a little flustered and took a step back, but he quickly reacted and stretched out his hand to cast a ring of divine spell [Holy Word: Shield]!

Witnessing with their own eyes the holy shield emitting divine light condensing in the void, the priests present immediately dispelled their doubts.

But then a chill ran up from the soles of my feet to my brain.

Since Adrian is really here, who is in charge of commanding the front line now?

……

The commander that the priests had been thinking about was currently sitting in a temporary base in the northern part of Harbor Town, sipping tea and listening to the reports from his "subordinates".

"Lord Adrian, according to your instructions, the temporary militia is already evacuating the townspeople. It won't be long before an open area is cleared. The fire in the granary has also been brought under control. The isolation method you taught is very effective..."

Pastor Danny quickly described the current situation in Harbor Town, looking at Lin En with admiration in his eyes.

Those damn devil followers set fires everywhere, roamed in the crowded alleys, and even burned down the granary, leaving them in a state of panic.

You have to know that Bishop Anruk only sent them a garrison of 800 people. These people were responsible for not only capturing the two witches, but also evacuating the townspeople and putting out the fire. There was a serious shortage of manpower.

After his repeated requests to mobilize elite guards were rejected by Anruk, Danny could only continuously divert manpower originally used to put out fires and rescue townspeople to hunt down the devil's followers to prevent them from escaping.

However, this chaotic situation changed immediately after the arrival of Lord Adrian.

First, he commanded them to use magic to pacify a group of fleeing townspeople, forcibly selecting able-bodied men from among them, and then broke up a small group of regular troops to form a temporary militia guard as a commander, instantly expanding the available manpower several times.

If these poorly trained militias were used in combat, they would probably collapse at the first blow, but they are still able to perform firefighting and rescue tasks.

The isolation method and sand fire extinguishing method mentioned by the other party are also very effective...

Thinking of this, Pastor Danny felt a little ashamed. Before, he had complained that Bishop Anluik had given him too few people, which were not enough to deal with the complicated situation.
