Chapter 118: Bystanders who shouldn't be bystanders
"New Castle, why is this report so strange? Is there a mistake?" Sheldon had nothing to do and took little Merlin to wander around the Orc Management Department.
"This is a absolutely true fact! Thousands! True! Thousands! True!" Newcastle's voice was somewhat hysterical, as if he was suppressing the most terrifying thing.
"But... the nearly zero casualties and property losses are insignificant compared to the previous times. This time it is equivalent to a small fight. Logically speaking, from one to three, it will gradually increase.
That's right." Peiman expressed her guess. She put her hands on the table and looked tired.
Yes, the recent mess is the result of all administrative agencies from the central cardinal level down.
Merlin has been living and dining in the Dream Department for nearly half a month. From time to time, Sheldon has to run out in the middle of the night to get rid of nightmares urgently - most of the work in the Dream Department has stopped, so at this time, the comprehensive affairs management consultant
The effect suddenly became greater.
"But, you see, the area where they committed the crime...is not normal." Newcastle spread out a map with red circles on it.
The area represented by the red circle is where the orc rebellion occurred.
Except for the research department located underground, the other departments—the Management Department, the Trial Department, the Legal Affairs Department, and the Financial Department—were all attacked by orcs without exception.
According to the officer on duty, they just huddled together, scratched twice in front of the door, and then dispersed on their own.
"Look, something is a little strange..." Newcastle said worriedly.
"They seem to be stepping on the spot." In Merlin's mind, the shrill voice of the nightmare echoed around Marquez.
Marquez: "Stepping in?"
Merlin: "Probably a preset before the last action."
Marquez: "So that's what it means..."
Merlin: "How do you think your father would respond?"
Marquez: "He is just a member of the Dream Division and actually has no substantive rights."
Merlin: "But for your safety, he has to participate in this matter, and it is impossible for him to leave the Dream Division now."
Marquez: "What if Sheldon can't beat them?"
Merlin: "The average orc, given his strength, should be able to beat him. Let me tell you the truth, if your father can't beat him, then I basically can't do anything, unless your physical fitness is modified again, but by then
, I cannot ensure that your essence is still a complete human being."
Marquez: "Why can't we pull them all into a dream? That might be possible."
Merlin: "The structure of a dream takes a certain amount of time. An improvised dream will collapse quickly after being stimulated. Although I have absorbed the magic power of Barbatos, you have to know that this nightmare hotel he built is not a two-year-old hotel.
It can be completed in a year.”
Marquez was confused: "One or two years?"
Merlin: "At least fifty-seven years, according to his level. What's more, my prototype is a rune creature. I can't bear too much physical damage in a hurry. Although I can avoid it, but
If you want to protect something, simply using magic power to resist is not a good way, even if your body is not purely magic power."
Marquez: "What about filling the body with magic power? Can this protect..."
Merlin said categorically: "Your body is very solid, yes. But at the same time, you will become brittle. When you bear too much pressure, your body will crack from the middle."
Marquez was frightened: "Well...it's so scary!"
"So, let's take it one step at a time." Nightmare said easily, "Besides, if it doesn't work out, we still have Moore as a shield. If he lets it go up to him, he will die. Also, it's a good thing to keep your trump card.
"
"Do we have a trump card?" Marquez thought for a while and felt that the characteristics of nightmares were nothing special.
"If you think there is, then there is. If you think there isn't, then there isn't." Merlin chuckled, and this sound made Merlin in real life roll his eyes repeatedly.
Sheldon's views were not much different from Merlin's, so he made suggestions and secretly prepared manpower just in case.
But Newcastle smiled bitterly and said that he could no longer transfer anyone, and the Brotherhood was unwilling to let him go...
Peiman shrugged and said that there was nothing she could do. After all, there were basically not many people left in the Dream Division.
People in the Vatican are now in a state of panic. Even if trading is open, few people would dare to do it.
One of the few stores still open is Olivia's Magic Materials Store.
At this time, her shop was particularly busy. Many people wanted to purchase some magic materials and imprint spells in advance to make their homes stronger.
Olivia was enthusiastically recommending products to a man who was looking at the orc's spine: "For this guest, rat tail powder, magic crystals, and a little orc bone powder can increase the toughness of the house materials."
The man turned his head, his eyes deep and immersed.
He spoke: "Where did these orc bones come from?"
Olivia was quite surprised: "You seem to be the seventh person to ask me this question today... I have a specific purchase channel. As for how I got it, I really don't know."
"The bones of these orcs are very fresh, and the blood on them has not been lost." The man said to himself.
"The materials I have here are absolutely of high quality. Do you want to buy some?"
He suddenly turned his head, and the muscles on his cheeks were squeezed and became very ugly.
"What race of orc spine is this?"
Olivia didn't know what made this man unhappy, but as a small businessman, she had to put on a smile: "This guest, I really don't know, if you come to ask next time
, I will definitely be able to answer!”
It seems that next time I have to figure out the source of every magic material.
"It seems you don't know." The man snorted coldly, and immediately stuck his head out of the store door without looking back.
"Really, there are other people who want to buy things... taking up other people's time..." Olivia muttered in a low voice, greeting the waiter and busying himself.
I have to take some time next time to strengthen my store...
...
In the empty political hall of Portellona Palace, sitting alone on the throne was the King of Yaris, Charles.
He was wearing a diamond-encrusted gold crown and a gold-red robe, holding a long and hard cane in his hand. At this time, he was leaning on the back of the chair with his eyes closed, seemingly taking a nap.
Tuk! Tuk! Tuk!
The door of the closed political hall was knocked.
"Come in." Charlie's tone was full of laziness and sleepiness.
"Your Majesty, this is the report of the third orc rebellion today, please check it."
It seems that he is from the Secretary of Security again.
"Back off."
Charlie waved, the magic lines in his eyes trembled, and the parchment in the man's hand was immediately pulled out, flew several meters away, and fell into Charlie's hand.
Immediately, his eyes seemed to be carefully savoring the contents of this report.
The more he looked, the more sarcastic his eyes became, and the more he looked, the more the corners of his mouth turned up.
"Thinking eastward and attacking west... Not bad, not bad! Haha!"
Hogg's figure slowly emerged from the shadows. He took three steps and two steps at a time, walked to Charlie, and knelt down on one knee.
"Your Majesty, do you want me to send out the Brotherhood's men to help suppress the rebellion?"
"Yes, of course I do." Charlie tapped his stick gently on the ground under the throne, "But not now, it will take a while."
"Why?" Hogg raised his head, with some confusion in his eyes.
"You should know this very well, my old friend~" Charlie's lips raised even higher, "A group of stupid things will always have a leader, but the leader is a human being, not a stupid thing."
"Then, when should I call people in?"
"At the same time that Marshall was assassinated." Charlie covered his mouth and yawned, "Some people couldn't wait to cause some damage and make the situation more chaotic. On the contrary, I helped him... But
Well...haha! I like it!"
"Yes, yes..." Hogg often couldn't understand Charlie's words, which was extremely natural.
But all he had to do was do it.
"Get all the people ready." Charlie said, "It's basically just a few days away."
"yes."
Charlie suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at his temple with his index finger: "Oh, by the way, Hogg. I seem to have forgotten something! The second fusion experiment will be done in a few days, let's
The people from Merlin Cult should prepare."
"Yes, Your Majesty Charles."
"Giggle! Marshall...I believe you will have an unforgettable memory..."
...
Marshall and his party had now descended from the Tata River. The wheels rolling rapidly on the hard ground encountered soft sand and seemed to have encountered huge resistance, and their traveling speed suddenly slowed down.
Marshall's team put on new clothes, painted a hazy yellow by magic, which perfectly matched the desert.
