Chapter 209 Crisis
451
The next morning, the refreshed Klein enjoyed a hearty but unremarkable breakfast. Surrounded by the general's guards again, he came to the Olavi Naval Base and requisitioned the most luxurious and spacious office.

According to the habit of Admiral Amyrius, he would spend a period of time alone every two or three days in order to study and master his extraordinary ability at a deeper level, and develop more practical skills.

Therefore, Klein will have most of the day undisturbed, and the rest only needs to handle some simple business.

In the quiet and spacious office, Klein paced back and forth leisurely, or picked out the books on the shelf to read, and reached into his pocket from time to time, touching the "Ninth Law" spell, making it exude an unusually deep majesty. This is for Let the blond secretary Lu Er'an outside believe that General Amyrius is normal.

After a while, Klein felt that he had walked for a long time, and was ready to return to his chair to read a book and rest for a while.

He passed the window in the office, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a small group of people running past quickly.

The location of this office is very high, and no one would look up suddenly, so Klein curiously pushed open the window and looked out. He saw this small group of soldiers hurrying along, carrying seals, cordons and other tools, as if Is to block somewhere.

"A temporary exercise?" Klein made a guess.

After all, Admiral Amyrius Leavitt is here. If there is any emergency, the senior management of the Oravi Naval Base will definitely deal with it as soon as possible, so as not to leave a bad impression on the general, and then strive to leave some good ones. impression.

He looked in the direction of the door. Secretary Lu Er'an didn't bother him, nor did he talk to anyone else.

The group of troops left quickly, and the suspicious expressions of the soldiers, the untimely seals, and the sun gradually disappearing into the clouds all seemed to be some bad omens.

And all of this has nothing to do with Klein. After reading it for a while, Klein returned to his seat, flipped through the boring and profound academic books on the bookshelf, and sank into the ocean of knowledge.

Outside a facility a few hundred meters away.

The team that Klein noticed just now arrived at this white dormitory building next to the training ground.

A lot of people had already gathered around the dormitory building. They joined hands to seal off the building very quietly, speaking very quietly, as if they were worried about being discovered by others and then reported to the general.

The new team quickly joined the action and sealed off the outside of the dormitory building three floors after another. Not far away, two people who looked like captains were talking.

"What's going on inside?" said the man with a cigarette, "The higher-ups hastily told us to seal it up."

"I don't know." He said with a stiff face, "The reason is that there is a gas leak in this building."

The smoker snorted and laughed: "Isn't our dormitory building repaired [-] times a year? How could it leak?"

"Then there should be some special situation, such as the sealed item getting out of control or something."

"It's not surprising." The man smoking a cigarette nodded, "I guess I want to wait until the general is gone. But it's unnecessary, right? With so many Extraordinary beings and a general, there's no reason to take this Things are dragging on."

Unless something dangerous happened inside, the higher-ups thought it would not be able to deal with it for a while, and they didn't want to be considered incompetent by Admiral Amyrius after the deal failed, so they tried to seal it off in the name of a gas leak, and planned to come back later. solve.

A spiritual wall has been set up indoors, preventing some Extraordinary items used for warning and defense.

After sealing the doors and windows, placing obstacles around them, and putting up warning signs of "under construction", they left in a line, leaving one or two officers who looked like officers to observe not far away. .

But just when they thought it was over.

In a corner of the naval base, a strange wasteland is quietly expanding its scope.

First, the iron gate weathered into slag in seconds, and the sentry post and the soldiers on guard disappeared together, and then a small training ground and supporting facilities nearby fell into a deathly tranquility.The soldiers who were suddenly attacked uttered a few panicked shouts, and then all the training ground and supporting facilities disappeared, with almost no process, as if there were no such things there.

The wasteland is advancing aimlessly at the naval base, gradually spreading.

Nothing was left along the way, only the bones of what had once been people, and the ashes and rust of what had once been buildings.

The pollution belonging to the Outer Gods is walking in the wasteland, looking for a target.

A target that was answered by the "Mother Tree of Desire".

……

In a dark room.

The middle-aged and elderly man who had only been the governor for less than half a month woke up from his dream. Fear remained in his eyes. In his dream, there were constant scenes of the sudden killing of General Negan and the mutiny in the city out of control.

He opened his eyes, and what he saw was a dim and simple room. The emblem of the Spiritual Cult on the wall made him terrified. He wanted to find the emblem of the goddess from his arms, but found that all the clothes on his body had been changed. again.

As a last resort, he had no choice but to turn around tremblingly, with his back to the emblem of the Spiritual Cult, and whispered a prayer to the gods he believed in.

In the darkness outside the door, Mirella watched this scene and frowned in disgust.

"Has the manifesto been drafted?" He turned his head and asked his subordinates.

"Not yet, my lord." The ashen-faced subordinate said, "Her Majesty will take charge of this matter personally to ensure that the next attack after the city is captured will go smoothly."

"Praise the God of Death." Mireira was beaming, as if she had seen the dawn of victory.

In the evening, after having an unremarkable but delicious dinner, Klein planned to find an excuse to get rid of Cynthia.

As it happened, the Olavi incident that he dealt with during the day gave him a good excuse.The younger brother who made a mistake in the position of governor was sent back to Backlund by himself, and he refused to see him with a heart of stone, and did not provide any help. This incident was enough for a seemingly indestructible person who valued family affection to be lost for one night.

He returned to the familiar study room, prepared to deal with the documents for a while, and then went back to the bedroom to rest.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly heard some commotion outside, and there was a hasty knock on the door.

The male voice belonging to Secretary Lu Er'an spoke from outside the door, and the voice was uncharacteristically tense: "General, there is an emergency."

Klein in the study frowned, feeling bad.

The two adventurers who introduced me to the general's stand-in are convinced that there is no need to show the power of a demigod in the past few days, so what is happening now?Emergencies?Or is it an emergency that needs to be dealt with by a demigod?

The Olavi Navy reported to Amyrius, proving that they had already tried to deal with it and failed, otherwise Lu Eran would not be in a hurry.

"I see." At the same time, without wasting any time, Klein immediately opened his mouth to the door majestically.

Lu Er'an's footsteps stopped, as if he was standing outside the door, waiting for the general's next instruction.

Klein quickly put on the military uniform, analyzed the current situation at high speed, and designed his own performance plan.

How will Amyrius deal with emergencies?He is a demigod, so he should have basic confidence in his abilities, but the link of asking his subordinates to report the situation is indispensable.Now that the naval base has asked Amyrius for help, after the report, he should choose to continue to observe or do it himself according to the actual situation.

This was an unexpected and important event, and there was no corresponding plan, so Klein could only speculate based on Amyrius' personality, experience, and certain self-statements in the information.

He is a conservative person. Even in the middle and low ranks, when he is mixed with various ships, he rarely takes any risky actions... He is powerful, but he also does not like to take risks, and he hardly appeared in his military career. After disobeying orders, even if he leads a team to complete the task by himself, he often chooses to act after testing out the danger of the incident... Messages flashed through Klein's mind, interweaving the three-dimensional image of Amyrius Leavitt image.

The most important point is that if this unexpected situation involves an extraordinary level, then I have to act conservatively in line with the character image, because there is a high probability that I cannot handle an incident that requires help from a demigod...

Wait, it's not like I don't have the power of a demigod at all!Klein suddenly had an idea, and he seized the time to rush into the gray fog, took out the "All-Black Eye" and Azik's copper whistle from the box, and put them in his pocket properly for emergencies.

At this moment, he had been in the room for about ten seconds, he knew that he could not continue to dawdle, Amyrius was cautious but did not delay.

If he didn't take another action, Lu Er'an would open the door and come in.

He immediately strode over, opened the door, and touched the "Ninth Law" spell with his hand, making his staid and serious face show a majestic look:

"Report the situation."

"Yes!"

Lu Er'an, who was still a little nervous at first, immediately calmed down after seeing Admiral Amyrius, as if he had taken a reassurance.He spoke quickly:
"Unreasonable buildings disappeared around the Olavi Naval Base, and many base personnel were also involved. It is conservatively estimated that there are more than 300 people, and it is still expanding."

"Confirmed by means of divination, the missing persons have all died."

More than three hundred dead?Still rising?Klein almost widened his eyes. He frowned, and the majesty on his body further increased, causing everyone around him to lower their heads involuntarily, so that no one would notice the cold sweat flashing across Admiral Amyrius' forehead.

"Assault?"

Klein's expression was serious, and the first thing he thought of was the warning from the "Twilight Hermit Society", but Auston Leavitt's dismissal was already a warning to Amyrius. , obviously does not meet their "hidden world" criteria.

At this time, a door in the corridor opened, and the hurried footsteps of soldiers and servants running back and forth alarmed Cynthia, who was resting in the bedroom. Uneasy and confused, he looked for Amyrius in the crowd.

Of course, Klein would not forget to act. When their eyes met, he nodded towards Cynthia, his serious expression softened for a moment, revealing soothing eyes.

Cynthia calmed down slowly, no longer trembling nervously, and smiled at Klein.

Secretary Lu Er'an didn't have any special reaction to this scene, as if he had seen it many times.

"It wasn't an attack, General. According to reports from the personnel returning from the investigation, they didn't see any enemies, but only a piece of wasteland that was expanding in scope. This should be caused by a sealed item getting out of control."

If the Sealed Artifact is out of control, go to custody, so the big naval base can't even manage a Sealed Artifact?Tell me what... Expanded Badlands?What kind of capability is this?
Is it "Nightmare"?But this is obviously not a large-scale dream, nor is it a hint that the "audience" deceives the eyes. It happened in reality and has caused more than 300 casualties.

He frowned: "Olavi Naval Base, can't even deal with an out-of-control Sealed Artifact?"

Lu Er'an did not defend the naval base, and the base that was renovated [-] times a year also made him feel contemptuous.

"Since when did it happen?"

"This morning."

"This morning." This morning...it's already evening!Klein almost couldn't resist using rhetorical questions. All kinds of bad habits of bureaucracy flashed through his mind. He thought and thought, changed and changed, and finally changed all the weirdness into a concise and concise sentence:
"Let the person in charge of the naval base come to see me."

Lu Er'an showed embarrassment: "He is dead, General. It is because of his death that this matter was exposed."

"..." Klein was silent.

After a long silence, he felt that he really had to do something.Right now, there is insufficient information and the situation is unclear. More than 300 people including the person in charge have died, but Amyrius, a demigod, is huddled in a suite at the base to rest. Obviously something is wrong.

He put his hands behind his back, the third hand stretched out from his waist to rest on the "Ninth Law" in the inner pocket, the fourth hand stretched out from the side of his ribs and grabbed the cigarette case containing "All Black Eyes", the fifth With one hand, he touched the Azik copper whistle in the inner pocket on the other side... Just like that, Klein was fully armed.The three hands were all hidden under the clothes, and no one noticed the abnormality, not even Cynthia noticed these changes.

If someone attacks, I will use the "Ninth Law" to imitate the law. If the danger is not serious, I will quietly use the "All Black Eye". If you can't handle it, tell them it's too dangerous...

I'm just looking for an opportunity to act, not to deal with emergencies for Amyrius!

Klein made up his mind and said to Lu Er'an:
"lead the way."

Just as he walked out of the gate of his residence, Klein's expression suddenly changed.

It was too quiet, only the sound of the cold wind.

It stands to reason that when such a dangerous event happened, there should be various things to do, such as evacuating personnel, distributing sealed items to prepare for battle, and mobilizing teams, which should be very noisy.But in front of him was a dead silence like the night, only the lights of the facilities in the distance flickered faintly.

He only saw a person standing on the side of the road, looking around.There was something wrong with this person, perhaps because it was too far away. Klein couldn't see his appearance and clothing clearly, and could only see a blur of light and shadow, but he instinctively believed that it was a person.

At the same time, the diviner's spiritual perception made him feel like he was being pricked all over his body, which symbolized extreme danger!

He immediately activated the "Ninth Law", and the aura of majesty permeated, and the stinging pain on his body was temporarily relieved, but it still did not disappear.

"Has the wasteland spread here?"

Lu Er'an's expression changed slightly, and the soldiers around the mansion also walked back and forth restlessly, but the demigod beside them gave them some courage and confidence.Lu Er'an didn't dare to delay, and immediately stretched out his hand to show Klein the way:
"When I went to report to you, there was still light there." He said with a serious face.

Klein looked in the direction of his finger, and saw darkness there, no, it wasn't darkness, it was the night sky without the shelter of the house, the stars twinkled in the sky, and the crimson moonlight fell on the earth.

There is nothing there.

A few nearby street lamps were still slightly on, but the brightness was too low, dim and yellowish, not even as bright as an ordinary candle, and could barely emit some faint light in the surrounding darkness , and it seems to be going out at any time.

Just when Klein thought the lights would go out, the street lamp disappeared.

No, it doesn't seem to disappear... Through the eyesight of the Extraordinary, Klein vaguely saw something shining on the ground, like a piece of broken glass or a piece of metal.

"The light has decreased again, which is a sign of danger."

Lu Er'an's eyelids twitched, and he looked at Klein: "General, what should we do?"

Klein really wanted to find a chance to leave the team. Seeing the eager and expectant eyes of the surrounding soldiers and Lu Er'an, he gritted his teeth and said in a timely manner:

"You go back."

"But……"

"Obey your orders, sir." Klein said solemnly, while releasing the influence of the "Ninth Law" again, "Stay here and you will not be able to give me any help."

"Yes." Unable to resist the majesty of the law, Lu Er'an immediately lowered his head and gestured to the people behind him. The soldiers immediately closed their ranks and returned to the mansion in an orderly manner.

Klein glanced at the figure still looking around, pointed at him and asked in a low voice, "Who is that?"

Lu Er'an looked over there, and looked at Klein suspiciously: "General, there is no one there."

Hearing this answer, Klein's whole body tensed suddenly, his pupils shrank, and a chill surged from the soles of his feet to his back, straight to his brain.

Lu Er'an didn't notice the change in General Amyrius, he glanced in that direction again, and shook his head firmly:
"General, I don't see anything."

As he said that, he saluted Klein, then quickly turned around and walked towards the gate of the mansion.

At the same time, the figure standing in the distance slowly turned his head this way and looked at Klein.
