Chapter 499: Riot in the circus

At night, the streets of Ascatla were deserted and deserted. The little thieves, villains and women who should have been wandering nearby seemed to have been warned, but none of them appeared. /Top/dot/novel.3w. In fact, the boss of the shadow thief, Renault Bloodhead, received a notice from the Shadow Council very early and temporarily stopped all business to make way for this clean-up operation.

A few minutes later, a team of heavily armed soldiers cooperated with the temple priest, masked mage, and paladin of the knights began to block the road, and then the giant mage tower in the city began to conduct a large-scale detection. There is a group of soldiers who searched the area from house to house. As long as someone dared to resist, they would be arrested immediately. What awaited them would be magical interrogation.

This all-round three-dimensional inspection lasted all night, from the administrative area and the temple area, down to the slums and cemeteries. It can be said that every corner of the city has not been spared. As many as 600 people were forcibly arrested, and the prison was suddenly overcrowded. Subsequently, a professional team composed of mages, priests, and paladins were interrogated one by one, and the three parties confirmed that there was no problem before they could be released.

After a night of raids, the council investigated and dealt with six lurking mind-savers in the crowd, as well as four nobles and merchants who had close contacts with them. As for those innocents controlled by psychic powers, all were pardoned. Up. It can be said that this operation was a great success. It not only completely shattered the monsters' conspiracy, but also unearthed several dangerous elements hidden among human beings.

Although I haven't figured out the motives behind the enemy, these are not important anymore. I believe that after this purge. Ascatla was safe for a long time. Because it's not just the demon who caught the mind. There are some spies from other forces.

But these have nothing to do with Henry. Just had breakfast the next morning. Kaidong took his wife and two daughters together, and invited everyone to the mall to watch the show at the circus. Judging from his high spirits, he must have resolved his rivalry smoothly and successfully saved his marriage and family.

When mentioning the circus, Henry vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a small task there. Although his legs were not very flexible now, dealing with this small role should not be a problem, so he simply agreed. quickly. The group of people set off for the mall in a mighty manner. Along the way, Imoen and Yao En were very interested. One of them was thinking of various interesting small shows, while the other was thinking of going to the casino to make a fortune.

As soon as they arrived at the central plaza of the shopping mall, everyone realized that something was wrong. Many passers-by were talking about it, saying that something incredible happened in the tent of the circus. It seemed that something went wrong. Since the location of the incident was not far away, they walked straight in the direction of the performance tent.

Before approaching, a soldier guarding the door immediately stood up and shouted: "Stop! In order to protect the safety of the people, this tent has been temporarily closed. The circus cannot open until the entire incident is resolved."

"Why? What happened here?" Kaidong asked, wrinkling his head. He came today mainly to relax with his family. However, as a paladin, if you encounter it, you can't ignore it.

The guard apparently noticed the noble badge worn on the chest of the old man in front of him. Immediately bowed:

"Good morning, sir. Actually, we can’t be sure. It was normal here, but it didn’t happen until after the performance in the morning. Everything went smoothly at the beginning, but weird things appeared soon afterwards. Everyone went in and watched. None of the performers came out, and those who went in to investigate also did not return. There is no doubt that this matter must involve evil magic. We are waiting for people from the Masked Mage Guild to deal with it. I am afraid that only they can solve this. problem."

"None of them came out?" Xina also realized the seriousness of the problem and hurriedly stood up and asked. She can hardly imagine what kind of magic can trap so many people in a small tent, and what is the purpose? After all, most of them are ordinary citizens and don't have much value at all.

"Uh... I heard that an animal trainer rushed out after the performance started, but he is currently missing." The soldier replied after thinking about it for a few minutes. Obviously, he didn't know much, he didn't even figure out the specific situation.

Kaidong understood that there were no other clues for the time being, so he turned around and came to Henry and asked in a low voice, "Can you find out what's going on?"

"Of course, as long as we walk in and check it out. Anyway, this tent only has such a small place, and there is no spatial fluctuation. I guess the biggest possibility is illusion, so the danger should not be big." Said Henry indifferent. Shrugged his shoulders.

For him, dealing with this kind of thing is simply easier than eating and drinking. Of course, this is when the enemy's details are known in advance, otherwise it will definitely not be so big, at least you have to use a few prophetic magic to detect it.

As soon as the voice fell, Imoen suddenly came over and shouted excitedly: "Aha! So we are going to start adventure again? Great!" In her eyes, the circus performance is very interesting, but it is far less exciting than the adventure . Especially when taking an adventure in a circus, is there anything more interesting than this?

"Don't be too happy, I promise that the time of this adventure will be very short, maybe only ten minutes to half an hour." A mysterious smile appeared on Henry's face after speaking. He remembers that not only can he get a new teammate, but he can also get a very interesting prop. Normally, this should have been the first stop after Aberdare and his party escaped from the dungeon, but due to their own reasons, it has not happened until now.

Imoen smiled indifferently and blinked his eyes and said: "It doesn't matter, even if it is short, it is still a risk. It is better than idle and bored."

"What are you waiting for! Hurry up, I can't wait." Yao En urged loudly. He had put on his goggles, and at the same time he took out the crossbow, posing as if he could fight at any time. Because of the large amount of rewards he has received in the past few days, the dwarf's enthusiasm for adventure is extremely high, and he can't wait to wander around twenty-four hours a day.

Looking at the motivated people, Kaidong smiled and said to his wife: "My dear, I'm sorry, I have to go in and take a look with these partners. Will you and the children wait outside for a while?"

"It's okay, but you didn't wear armor or weapons today, so please be careful." Maria exhorted nervously. Although everyone is so confident, she still can't help but worry about her husband, for fear of accidents in the newly reunited family.

"Don't worry, I will return safely." Kaidong first gave his wife a comforting kiss, then kissed the two daughters on the foreheads, and finally stood with his friends. He looked quite relaxed, not at all serious and serious when he served in the Knights.

Henry took the weapons and equipment out of the dimension bag while teasing: "My friend, you are much younger since you retired, and now you look like you are in your early forties. How about, are you interested in coming to my college to be a teacher? This will not only spread the teachings of Tom, the **** of loyalty and courage, but also cultivate more younger generations."

"Is the Bluevent City College? I heard that there is beautiful scenery and pleasant weather. It should be a good place for retirement. But I have to ask Maria, as long as she agrees, it will be fine." Kai Dong glanced at it. Glancing at his wife. Obviously, he still wants to use his residual heat. After all, a busy person will be very uncomfortable once he is free. Teaching an apprentice should be a good choice.

"Then it's settled. I will arrange for you a position as a paladin instructor at that time, and then you can recruit apprentices." Henry hurriedly settled the matter while the iron was hot.

Know that an experienced paladin tutor is hard to find. Now the college has opened nine professional subjects such as mages, priests, druids, bards, thieves, warriors, warlocks, rangers, barbarians, etc., such as paladins, dark guards, monks and other more complex professions. There is no systematic training method, so it has not been opened yet.

However, the addition of Kaidong just made up for this shortcoming. Not only does he have rich combat experience, but the gods he believes in are also very reassuring. The **** of loyalty and courage, hearing this name, you know that this **** attaches great importance to responsibility and obedience, so believers are mostly quite loyal subordinates. Although there is no **** of guarding, Heim is obedient, but it will never be taken lightly. betray.

Even if their ideas conflict with each other, they will only choose to part ways, and will not directly make some radical actions like those idiots who believe in the Lord of Dawn, such as intending to overthrow the local government or something. One of the doctrines of Loshanda that most annoys rulers is that helping others is always more important than observing rigid rules, rituals, and orders from superiors~www.ltnovel.com~Imagine if a lord has everything under his control. What would a young man who is both rebellious and not observing orders look like? In a few days, the entire territory will be messed up. Because they are all a group of idealists, as the doctrine says, the seeds of dreams are spread everywhere. From the perspective of Faerun's current productivity level, this is simply the source of the turmoil.

Farmers do not cultivate honestly, craftsmen do not engage in production, merchants go out of business, and then all pursue their dreams? Go on an adventure? Let alone whether they will die of various monsters and traps, the lack of materials caused by lack of labor can cause great damage to social stability.

Just like that sentence, the system is not the most advanced, only the most appropriate. Judging from the status quo of Faerun mainland, the most important thing is to fix most people on the land for agricultural production. After all, there is insufficient food to feed more people, and nothing can be done without enough labor.

What is the concept of a country with a population of 2 to 5 million? It is only equivalent to a county in the 21st century on the earth, and it is still the poorest and most backward kind, not even comparable to the average level of European countries in the Middle Ages. This shows the degree of labor shortage, if not for the powerful supernatural Power, such as magic and divine art, may have long been overwhelmed by endless monsters. (To be continued...)
