Chapter 286

"Ah, it was Xiao Lin who sent someone to find me, saying that he wanted to watch today's rune and magic competition, so he asked me to use the impression crystal to save it for him."

"I see, the Holy Son is really studious."

Xier looked at Rafael again: "What about Miss Rafael? I see you here for the first time."

Rafael was sitting very elegantly at this time, and people could tell at a glance that she was a well-educated noble lady.

She explained to Xier: "I came to find Xiye, but I didn't see her, so I'll wait here now."

Sylvester didn't deliberately ask why the hero didn't come, but smiled and nodded, and then chatted with "Elena" in a low voice, as if the couple had a good relationship.

Unknowingly, the rune engraving competition had begun, and the contestants were in their positions.

After three test questions, the referee seat was discussing fiercely and preparing to score.

The magic device made of image crystal was rotating around the audience and the judges' seats under the control of the mechanism, and the three screens standing high in the center of the venue also clearly projected the anxious waiting of the contestants.

"Time is up, now please ask the judges to score..."

The host's voice sounded, and at the same time the image magic crystal turned to the judges' seats.

At the moment when the perspective was aligned, the image crystal on the magic device suddenly shattered.

A few viewers happened to see this scene and screamed, and the picture on the screen also stopped abruptly.

At this moment, a loud sizzling sound suddenly came from the hot air balloon floating in the sky, and after that, the screen restored the picture.

It was a man wearing a black cloak and a Yaksha mask.

The man held a megaphone in his hand and was trying his voice with "hmmmm ahhh".

The audience was in an uproar and thought it was a temporary program, but the host's face changed drastically and pointed at the hot air balloon and shouted angrily.

"Where did you come from, you thief? This is not the place for you to run wild. Get down!"

Just as he finished speaking, the floor under his feet suddenly exploded, and a flame that was more than ten times stronger than the Explosion Fire Technique shot up into the sky, and the explosion instantly submerged the presiding official.

The guards responsible for protecting the arena rushed forward to rescue him. When they pulled him out, he was already bloody and it was unknown whether he was alive or dead.

A large number of guards rushed into the audience seats and the stadium of the arena, and surrounded the hot air balloon at the same time.

"Tsk tsk, whoever interrupts my speech again will end up like this."

The masked man said impatiently in a sarcastic tone: "I prefer to get straight to the point. To tell you the truth, the entire Glowing City has been randomly installed with giant explosive magic devices by us. Let the people of the church hand over our companions who are accusing the dead apostles quickly. If they are half an hour late, I will activate a magic device!"

Everyone in the audience was shocked and panicked for a while. They stood up and ran out of the arena.

"Everyone sit down, or I'll accidentally press it down."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp sword shot towards the hot air balloon like a meteor, followed by more arrows.

But the arrows were blocked by a transparent barrier near the hot air balloon and all bounced down.

It was too high, and more magic bullets could not reach it at all.

The officer in charge of the defense frowned: "Go, call all the ranged professions above level 60."

"Are you turning a deaf ear to my words? In this case, I can only demonstrate a little."

After the man's voice paused for a moment, a roar suddenly came from the northeast of the arena, and black smoke mixed with dust rose in the sky.

From a distance, you can feel the ground shaking slightly.

Everyone looked in that direction, with a look of horror on their faces, and the guards were as pale as paper.

That direction is the residential area of ​​the nobles.

Raphael, who had stood up, suddenly paused, staring blankly at the smoke billowing in the distance and the red color that had already dyed the sky.

She bit her lower lip, put back the sword she had taken out, and sat down.

At this time, the sinister voice sounded again: "Sorry, I chose the wrong operating lever. It seems that I accidentally blew up the Duke of Marcas's mansion. Alas, maybe the princess's family is dead."

The audience was in chaos, and the students who came to watch or participate in the game were also scared.

They all grew up in peacetime, greenhouse flowers, and some may have experienced kidnapping, but they have never seen such a rampant and massive terrorist attack.

Other civilians cried and screamed, and tried to escape, but the guards could only maintain order and make them sit down after the bandits warned them again.

After a moment of chaos, the sound of a huge bell suddenly rang in the Glorious City, and it kept ringing.

This is the alarm bell that will only ring when there is a major disaster or enemy attack.

Sylvester pretended to be panicked and stood in the VIP seats, commanding the guards and trying to prevent the audience from rushing out to avoid angering the gangsters.

"There are still twenty minutes left. Let the church hand over our companions. Otherwise, once the countdown ends, I will activate the Explosion Magic Device again. Are the people sitting in the VIP seats important people?

Well, let's choose this place. I hope you all sit still and don't move around, otherwise I will accidentally press the wrong button in advance."

Sylvester was also panicked. He picked up the megaphone from the table and said to the hot air balloon: "Calm down! We have sent people to the cathedral to inform them, but it will take them at least 20 minutes to arrive. Please give them some more time."

"You are not qualified to negotiate with me. You are so noisy! Shut up, or I will blow them all up!"

Under the threat of the death-telling apostles, the people present tried to restrain their roars. They shrank in their chairs in fear, and some of them sobbed with their heads in their hands.

No one expected that the previous second was still a grand competition, and the next second it suddenly evolved into a terrorist attack.

Rafael felt very tormented in her heart. This was also the first time she had encountered such a situation.

Originally, according to the story, she, the future sword master, should have turned the tide and killed the bandits with the sword.

When encountering such a thing, her power was so weak.

But why? How did the death-telling apostles arrange magic devices in the tightly defended Glowing City and the even more tightly defended arena.

This is not common sense.

Obviously, after the attack on that brat, the defense of Glowing City has been upgraded to a higher level.

Could it be that there are many people working as an insider?

Raphael's head was confused, and he tried to recall what his mother taught him, but he couldn't find any way to deal with this situation.

Turning his head, he saw Elena crying with her face covered, while Iris was in a daze, as if she was frightened.

She had no choice but to pat Iris on the back and try to comfort her.

Iris was shocked, her mouth curved, and she looked like she wanted to smile but couldn't, which made Raphael feel distressed.

"Don't worry, I will protect you."

Iris was a little stunned, thought about it, and whispered: "I will protect Sister Raphael too."

Raphael didn't know that Iris's behavior just now actually had another reason.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the countdown was about to end.

The bandit on the hot air balloon sighed in disappointment: "It seems that I am still too kind."

"Wait!"

At this time, a loud shout sounded, and Webster walked to the audience with a gloomy face. Behind him were two knights, one on the left and the other on the right, holding a man in black with a plague mask.

"The person you want has been brought here. The other one is dead. There is only this one. Stop your behavior, otherwise the goddess will let you fall into purgatory forever and torture your soul forever!"

"I'm really tired of your useless threats."

The Yaksha masked man wanted to mock the goddess, but he swallowed the words back.

"Bring our companions here!"

As soon as he gave the order, Webster waved to the knights, and the two knights carried the death teller and walked down from the audience carefully.

At this time, a hanging basket was lowered from the hot air balloon, and the meaning was already very clear.

The knight pushed hard, pushed the death teller into the hanging basket, and stepped back a few steps.

Seeing that the basket was slowly rising and was soon pulled into the basket of the hot air balloon, someone suddenly cut the rope connecting the hot air balloon to the ground.

Then the hot air balloon slowly rose, and the man with the Yaksha mask continued: "After we evacuate safely, you will naturally be safe, but since you are still a few seconds later than the scheduled time and killed our other companions, I have to punish you."

"So..."

At this time, somewhere under the floor of the VIP seat, there was a sudden sound of rusty gears turning.

Sylvester's face was ashen, and he hurriedly shouted to the people behind him: "Go!"

After that, he quietly inserted his hand into his sleeve.

Rafael gritted his teeth and pulled up Iris and Elena, but as soon as he turned around, he saw golden stripes rising from the ground, trapping everyone in it, even above their heads.

Her expression was stern, and she drew out the thunder sword and chopped at the cage.

Xier on the side also drew his sword, and the two of them attacked. After a few clangs, the cage barrier loosened a little.

But before Rafael showed his joy, the sound of the gear suddenly became more urgent.

"It's too late."

Rafael was also filled with fear at this time, as if he had seen the scene of himself being blown away.

Even, there was not even a complete corpse, and her beautiful face must be gone.

Woo, mom, if I had known, I would not have been angry with you, and I would not have run away from home and said that I wanted to be a hero.

It's a pity that I haven't succeeded in challenging the sword master yet.

Rafael almost cried loudly, but I didn't know what he was thinking. He rubbed his eyes hard, dragged his legs that had long been weak, and walked under the floor where the sound came from.

The hand holding the thunder sword was shaking violently, and the lines on the hilt were almost embedded in the palm.

At this moment, the eldest lady's mind was blank, as if there was only a little light left.

"I am the daughter of the Sword Saint, the strongest thunder sword user, and the future Sword Saint. I will not retreat."

The thin sword in her hand stood in front of her, a thunder roared, and then the lightning like dozens of tiny thunder snakes suddenly swept from the sword in all directions.

The lightning spread out, but soon established a square where lightning and thunder intersected a few meters around her, trapping her in it.

"Domain, Thunder Prison."

She had just awakened the domain, and her control was not mature, so the range was very small.

And this domain can trap the enemy in it, and it is very solid and difficult to rush out, but because she cannot fully control it, even she will be trapped in it...

But now I can't care about so much.

I just hope that I can lock all the power of the explosion in the field. Even if I can't, I have to save the lives of Iris and others.

I hope so.

"Kata".

With a crisp sound, the gears stopped making any sound. In the dead silence, it seemed as if a tragedy was about to happen.

Chapter 62 There is still a child in the belly

Everyone held their breath, thinking that the tragedy was about to happen. The bandit even sneered "overestimating one's own ability".

However, after waiting for a second, there was still no explosion.

Half a minute passed, and a minute passed.

Raphael could no longer support the field, and the surrounding lightning all dissipated.

Iris stepped forward, patted her shoulder, and whispered in her ear.

"It's okay, sister Raphael, in fact, the magic device has been dismantled a long time ago."

"Ah?"

Raphael was still a little dazed, and his head didn't react for a while.

"We are safe."

"But, the explosion just now..."

At this time, the host, who was supposed to be carried away and treated by the therapist, suddenly appeared in the audience again. He picked up the microphone and said.

"Don't worry, we have known about the bandits' attack plan for a long time. In order to catch all of them and prevent them from escaping, we have this drama.

On behalf of Glowing City, I would like to express my most sincere apologies to everyone. At the same time, all the ticket money of everyone present will be refunded, and you will have free food and accommodation in Glowing City for three days from now.

Glowing City is one of the safest cities in the world. We will not let anyone get hurt. Today's game is temporarily suspended. Please wait for a while and leave after all the bandits are cleared."

The audience felt relieved after hearing this.
