A violent explosion occurred on the roof of the parliament building, shattering all the glass in the building.
The explosion was so harsh that the crackling sound of the broken glass could not be heard. The ground was shaking wildly, and it was completely impossible to stand. The broken glass was flying everywhere, as if every piece was going to pierce the eyes.
Dust fell from the roof, and Yaden fell off the chair and quickly shrank under the desk.
In such a chaotic moment, Yaden didn't know why, but suddenly remembered a point of knowledge he had learned in the general knowledge class of the Alchemy Academy before, saying that you can hide under the table during an earthquake. At that time, he sneered, what role can a table play in an earthquake. This Speaker's desk is different. It can not only help him block the flying glass, but also activate the alchemical mechanism inside at a critical moment, becoming the last safety barrier.
The plaster on the ceiling fell in large pieces and hit the table, proving that the explosion caused great damage to the main structure of the entire building.
Zelda stood in front of Yaden at the right time. Yaden was a little touched just now. The freight station manager was good. He knew to stand in front of the opening of the table. But the next step, he saw Zelda squeeze into the table.
Yaden cursed Zelda in his heart, what level of person are you? How dare you use the same shelter space with the Acting Speaker? At the same time, he stretched out his foot and kicked Zelda's back hard, trying to kick Zelda out.
The table can only provide limited protection. How can it accommodate two people?
Zelda held the table legs tightly with both hands, enduring the pain in his back, and didn't want to leave the table. The shock wave of the explosion woke Zelda up. He had just come out of the charm state, and everything he had experienced before was a little blurry. Now he found that Acting Speaker Yaden was kicking him madly and hard. The heels of the leather shoes were so hard that Zelda was very sure that his back must be bruised.
There were explosion noises all around, and he didn't know if Acting Speaker Arden had shouted something in a hurry, but Zelda didn't care about anything else. It was more important to save his life. He couldn't leave under the table just because Arden was the Acting Speaker.
Zelda knew that everything in the Speaker's office was protected by alchemical reinforcement arrays, and so was the table. It must be much safer than standing outside.
At the same time, he was also very confused about what happened on the roof that made the Speaker's office shake. You know, the reinforcement arrays in this office are all level 5 reinforcement arrays.
After a few seconds, the explosion was coming to an end, and Zelda finally heard clearly what Acting Speaker Arden was shouting behind him.
"The wizard is coming! The furnace is coming! The furnace said that he doesn't allow the Speaker to appear in Fabro City!" Arden's voice was so terrifying.
"Get out! Zelda! Wait until I get out and I'll kill you!"
Zelda was unmoved. You said the furnace is coming, and it's not certain whether you can get out. Everyone wants to live, and every second counts.
Seeing that Zelda didn't leave, Arden thought of something more important: "Where are the people from the Court of Inquisition? Where is Obed? Where are they? Are they using me as bait?"
He even thought of the worst possibility. Is this a trap set by the Court of Inquisition? And he, the acting speaker, is the bait in the trap?
Did Obed force him to take the position of speaker just to attract the furnace to take action at this time?
This is unfair to Obed. Obed is on the airship, flying quickly towards the parliament. Obed's face does not have the expression of success, only anxiety. He can't use the life of a speaker as bait. This will be another huge blow to the honor of the alchemist.
Obed knows the horror of the furnace. The death of the natural disaster druid Torned makes the parliament owe the druid a huge favor. The intelligence from the southern continent shows that several level 6 priests of the evil god cult can't do anything to the furnace. Obed understands that if he faces the furnace head-on, he will not be much stronger than those level 6 priests.
The County Council airship was not far from the Parliament building. It took only a few minutes from the discovery of the explosion to the clear view of what was happening on the top of the building.
When Obed found the furnace, he found that both legs of the furnace were blown off.
A high-level alchemical reinforcement array was drawn on the Parliament building. The violent explosion instantly destroyed the reinforcement array. Such an explosion was not only caused by the rockets placed on the roof, but also by Rudolf's Lion King Spark.
At all costs, his legs were blown off. Rudolf used half of the star power stored in his body to create a Lion King Spark and finally destroyed the signal tower.
The stars in the sky became unusually clear again, and this feeling made Rudolf feel comfortable all over.
The County Council's airship was about to arrive in front of him. At this precious moment, Rudolf looked up in the direction of Gemini.
At this precious moment, the Gemini star power suddenly rushed towards Rudolf, and then was thrown by Rudolf to the enchanted Zelda.
Under the desk, Zelda was sweating profusely, holding the hands of Acting Speaker Arden with both hands. In the hands of Acting Speaker Arden, there was a revolver.
The two sides were wrestling, and Speaker Arden wanted to aim the revolver at Zelda's head, but Zelda didn't let the revolver point at his head.
The black muzzle of the gun was waiting for the bullet to be ejected, and this bullet would take the life of a person under the table.
"Acting Speaker, leave me to be your meat shield!"
Zelda really thought so. In order to live a few more seconds, he was really willing to promise to be a meat shield for Arden.
However, after the first wave of explosions, I don't know which nearby pillar collapsed, and a large piece of the roof floor fell off.
With a loud bang, Arden was startled, which proved that the wizard's attack was not over yet. Think about it, the wizard is staring at the roof of the parliament building, so his target must be the signal tower on the roof. When the signal tower is destroyed, the wizard can have whatever he wants? Who can stop him?
At this time, Arden just wanted to drive Zelda out from under the table. This office is an alchemical product. After activating the mechanism, it can also be turned into a safe house.
Zelda's presence prevented Arden from completing the next step. Zelda would block the mechanism, which would make Arden furious.
During the dispute between the two sides, the handkerchief in Zelda's sleeve fell to the ground. Arden was lying in the narrow space under the table, and the handkerchief was so close to Arden's face.
A fragrance wafted out, and in the refreshing fragrance, Zelda lost consciousness and fell to one side.
Arden found Zelda unconscious, kicked him away, and then pressed the button under the table.
The sound of clockwork sounded around the desk, and the alchemical copper wires were pulled closer, indicating that the reinforcement array of the desk was activated.
While waiting for the safe house to be completed, Arden couldn't help but look at the handkerchief and found that the surface of the handkerchief was covered with a lot of dust.
Arden had captured some wizards when he was in the trial office, so he knew this dust. This dust was clearly the wizard's star stone powder!
Looking closely, these star stone powders formed a spiral pattern, and the center of the pattern was the 17 bright stars of Gemini!
The next second, Yaden regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. Why did he have to "look carefully" just now?
Rudolph on the roof curled his lips, and the forbidden technique was completed.
It was not the charm of the silver snake that worked on the handkerchief. There must be abstinence priest among the witch hunters in the Inquisition. This is a method used by many big men to keep their souls pure. Even if the charm was used to seduce Aden, it might be untied by the priest witch hunters in the Inquisition.
Compared with the charm of the silver snake, the wizard's forbidden technique is more secretive and more reliable.
What really worked on Aden was the breeze caused by the handkerchief falling to the ground.
The breeze blew away a little bit of dust, and the breeze also touched the Gemini star stone array on the handkerchief. The star stone powder lit up with a light blue light, and a blue whirlwind rose from the spiral pattern. The blue whirlwind spun and jumped in the air.
Aden's sight spun with the whirlwind, and he was instantly trapped in it, hypnotized by the spinning whirlwind. The forbidden technique of Gemini of the air sign - Split Seed is completed!
This split is a split in personality, which can create another personality in Yaden's consciousness.
Gemini comes from the myth of Pollux, the son of God, and Castor, the son of man.
They are twins born on the same day and year, but have very different destinies. The ending of this pair of brothers is that the son of God lives in heaven and has eternal life, while the son of man has died and lives in the land of death.
The pattern of Gemini on the star map is two young people arm in arm. The two young people were once inseparable, but in the end they had to go their separate ways for various reasons.
Gemini's forbidden technique - Split Seed, can only be used once a month. The final effect of the forbidden technique is that after a period of time, the original personality is replaced by another personality of the target.
Compared with physical annihilation, this method can also erase the traces of another person's existence in a sense.
After a long time, Yaden still looks like Yaden, but in fact, Yaden has been replaced by his second personality and becomes another person.
This replacement is like a personality change after a drastic change, which is imperceptible, extremely hidden, and difficult to distinguish.
Tonight, Arden was almost killed by the furnace and was frightened. If he behaves strangely in the future, it will make sense.
After obtaining this forbidden technique, Rudolf thought for a long time. He thought that he could fight the Alchemy Council in another way.
The Alchemy Council is too large. Kill the chairman of the City Alchemy Council and the chairman of the County Alchemy Council. Kill the chairman of the County Council, and there are the Provincial Council, the Regional Council, and the Senate of the Capital above.
As the maker of order, the power of the alchemist is extremely large, and it is not a good idea to confront it head-on. It is temporarily impossible to fight it. If you can't beat it, join it, control a speaker, and then let this speaker protect you from the wind and rain. It is obviously easier.
Rudolf chose again and again, and his breakthrough can only be the acting speaker Arden.
Obed was the first to be excluded. Since he came to Fabro City, it proves that he must have a trump card and is not so easy to kill.
Who knows what high-level alchemy products the chairman of the County Council has? Even if it is an 8th-level alchemy product, it can be mass-produced. This is where the alchemist is better than other apostles.
Other apostles are at most craftsmen who make a living by their apostle abilities. Alchemists are factory owners. They can mass-produce alchemical products on assembly lines. This feature once defeated the knights. In large-scale army battles, the ability of alchemists is terrifying.
The one who led the witch hunt was the Level 5 Word Spirit Yevgeni, and the second one was excluded.
Rudolf himself has the ability of a Level 5 Word Spirit. He knows how difficult it is to deal with a Level 5 Word Spirit, and the background of the Judgment Hall is even more difficult for Rudolf to predict.
Therefore, only the acting speaker Arden, whose status is enough to influence the situation, and is weak enough, is the most perfect breakthrough for Rudolf.
At this time, Arden shook his head and woke up from the dizziness.
The star stone powder on the handkerchief began to burn because it transmitted too much star power, and the whole handkerchief was burned to ashes.
Arden didn't pay any attention to the handkerchief at all. He looked at Zelda who was unconscious opposite him. This selfish and stupid freight station manager almost delayed his refuge.
He raised his gun and was about to shoot Zelda, but suddenly a voice sounded in his mind: Why not let him live? Look, there are still glass fragments on his body, which is somewhat useful...
Yaden was very confused and didn't know why he thought so. He didn't exert force on the trigger finger for a long time, and finally put down the revolver.
Mercy... I didn't expect that Yaden, the former director of the Trial Bureau, who arrested hundreds of heretic apostles, would have such emotions.
Obed on the airship put down the telescope and looked at the roof of the parliament building in disbelief. The signal towers in the other four districts were equipped with level 5 alchemical reinforcement arrays, but the reinforcement array on the parliament building was level 6!
That wizard really has the ability to fight beyond his level and can even destroy the level 6 reinforcement array! It's right to be cautious. Obed, a level 6 alchemist, may also be in danger when facing the furnace.
"Rockets ready! Shoot!"
Hearing Obed's decisive order, the airship fired rockets all over the sky. Not only Obed's County Council airship, but also Colonel Gayton on the Silver Flame, who had just arrived, issued the same order after seeing the actions of the Speaker's airship.
Rockets streaked across the night sky, and Obed felt a little uneasy. He had to protect the new Speaker, Arden, otherwise the dignity of the Alchemy Council would be trampled on again.
More importantly, without the leadership of the local alchemists in Fabro City, the reception of refugees would also encounter big problems.
Rockets flew to the roof of the parliament building with thick smoke. Among these rockets were Speaker Obed's thermobaric bombs and Colonel Gayton's thermite bombs.
Yevgeny was also rushing towards the parliament building. He looked up and shouted anxiously: "No! Don't kill the furnace!"
It's not that Yevgeny has any friendship with the furnace, but he knows that capturing and imprisoning the furnace alive is the only way to solve the furnace. Whether the furnace can be killed can be left to the alchemists who are interested to experiment, but that's another story.
Bat wings grew behind Yevgeny, and he quickly flew towards the airship.
"Speaker! This will let the Furnace run away!"
Hearing Yevgeny's anxious cry, Obed shook his head:
"I understand what you mean, but our starting points are different. Solving the problem of the Furnace can be postponed to later, but Arden must be saved. Arden must lead the reception of refugees. We, the outsiders who are airborne, cannot do that. Time is running out. The reception of refugees must be completed in winter, and Arden cannot die."
Once the shielding signal tower is destroyed, the Furnace will have time to attack everyone in the parliament building, and Arden is most likely to be killed.
"Huh?"
Obed raised his eyebrows, but Yevgeny didn't think there was anything surprising.
The Furnace did not resist and allowed countless rockets to hit him. There was no fear in his eyes. Just before the explosion completely engulfed the Furnace, a little golden flame flashed on the roof.
That was the legendary phoenix golden fire, the phoenix golden fire that will appear when the Phoenix Wizard is reborn from the ashes.
