  Chapter 120 Return to Altdorf

  When Duanmu Huai came to General Pastor again, the general in front of him almost looked several years older.

   "Ouch, you are back!"

   Seeing Duanmuhuai appear, General Pastor seemed to see a savior.

   "If you don't come back, I don't know what to do!"

   "As for?"

  Looking at the emaciated General Paster in front of him, Duanmu Huai was also taken aback, he just left for a while, why does he look like he is about to die?

   "As for, why not, if you don't come again, I plan to run away!"

  Seeing Duanmuhuai, Pastor complained to him with snot and tears just like seeing the savior.

  The days during this period of time were definitely not easy for Pastor. Although he is not a high-level person, and he doesn't need to learn such high-level tricks as those high-ranking noble officials who are pushing cups and helping each other, but the so-called leaders move their mouths, and soldiers run and break their legs. Pastor right now is actually the "little soldier" who was asked by the higher-ups to ensure the security of Altdorf, strictly control the entire city, and not allow other people to enter and leave at will.

  What can Pastor do? Can he say no?

  So you can't work?

   But if he did this, wouldn't the people of Altdorf complain? Of course it is impossible!

  There is an undercurrent in the royal city, and the people of Altdorf are not fools. They know that the gathering of the three princes is probably not a good thing, and no one wants to get involved in this muddy water. Besides, most of them are just simple ordinary people, and empire rule is too far away for them, isn't it?

   In the end, there was a letter from this city, good guy, who can get rid of it? !

   At this time, those who had some connections started to get busy.

  Of course they dare not go to the First Prince. If they tell him that they intend to leave at this time, wouldn't that be the same as running away? Imperial nobles and businessmen are not so stupid yet, okay!

  So, as the commander of the Garrison Corps, General Pastor fell into bad luck.

During this time, people have been coming in and out, either giving him gifts or threatening him, and all they begged for is to ask General Pastor to give them a ride and let them withdraw a few people Altdorf.

   General Pastor is of course - can't agree to everything!

  Although he is incompetent, he is not stupid!

   These **** disappeared after they ran away. When the time comes, the higher-ups will find out the problem. Is it not me who is unlucky?

  So the position of Pastor is actually a bit similar to the ancient governor of Shuntian, who is in charge of the governance of the royal city. If it's done well, it's a matter of course. If it's not done well, I'll take off the top Dai Hualing hair and make Ning Guta and the armored man a slave.

   I have to thank the Lord Ron for not beheading.

   It's really miserable.

  If it weren't for the firm belief that Duanmu Huai was the God of Sigma, and Pastor's belief in Sigma was strong enough, and he was determined to rebel, he might have already packed up and prepared to run away by now.

"Don't worry."

  Looking at Pastor's sad picture of almost kneeling on the ground and "asking the master to make the decision for me", Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder in a funny way.

   "Everything is going well, no problem, just wait and see the good show."

   "Huh... that's good."

  Hearing this, General Pastor heaved a sigh of relief, slumped on the chair, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

   "How is the situation on your side?"

   "Vulture sent me a message before, saying that the pile of dimensional stones was transported out of the Magic Academy, and its whereabouts are unknown, and he is tracking it down."

  Vulture is the code name of a witch hunter. Duanmu Huai thought he died in some corner, but now he seems to be alive and well.

  However, the dimension stone was transported away...

  Duanmuhuai closed his eyes, and felt the torture puppets. Fortunately, he guessed that something was wrong before, and sent a few torture puppets to follow. Now it seems that they have also been transferred to... the underground of Wangcheng?

   Yo huh? You guys are looking for a place, are you planning to blow up Wangcheng?

   "Okay, I know how to get this done."

   Duanmuhuai quickly made a decision, and then looked at Pastor.

"General Pastor, there is only one thing I ask you to do next. On the day of the banquet, someone will definitely take to the streets to make trouble. I hope you can lead your subordinates to maintain the law and order in the entire Altdorf! Don't let the royal city have an accident, That's it!"

  Actually, the emperor didn't have high demands on Pastor, he only asked him to do his job well—if the demands were too high, he wouldn't be able to do it, would he?

"this…………"

  Hearing Duanmuhuai's request, Pastor hesitated for a moment, then nodded vigorously.

"Well, on the day of the banquet, I will order the whole city to be under martial law starting in the afternoon, and no one will be allowed to go out. I will send all the soldiers to patrol the city. But... can you tell me, what are you planning to do? It won't affect the people in the city..."

   "If it goes well, probably not, don't worry."

   Duanmuhuai laughed again and stood up.

  "You put your heart in your stomach, do what you should do, then sleep, wake up the next morning, and everything is over."

  Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, General Paster was silent for a moment, and then heaved a long sigh.

   "I hope... so."

  After bidding farewell to General Pastor, Duanmuhuai returned to his residence, and then he saw An and Elf Princess who were staring wide-eyed.

   "Okay, what's the result of your investigation?"

  Duanmuhuai ignored the subtle atmosphere between the two, and asked, but hearing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, An frowned, showing a bitter face.

   "It's really hard to track down, and I'm not very familiar with the magic here, and I can't guess about it..."

   "The breath of the evil **** of chaos has polluted the city."

  The elf princess even replied lightly, without saying much.

   Duanmuhuai was not surprised by their reaction. In fact, after the two girls entered the city of Altdorf, they immediately felt a strong sense of unease and crisis. After all, both An and Elf Princess are powerful mages, and their sensitivity to spiritual energy is naturally extremely keen. Now they feel as uncomfortable as coming from a big forest with fresh air to a city with serious air pollution.

   "In short, it must not be a good thing. What about your analysis results?"

   "The core of the magic circle should be here."

Ann stretched out her hand and pointed to the royal city in the center of the map. At the same time, her left hand was holding a pendant that looked like it was made by machinery. According to Ann, it was a kind of "magic guide" popular at the Manalia Academy of Magic. The "mechanical divination" technology can assist in finding what you want to find to a certain extent.

  Of course, how useful it can be in this world...is another matter.

  The elf princess also nodded slightly.

   "All the spiritual energy is concentrated here. There should be some kind of node or something. Generally speaking, Wangcheng does not allow excessive concentration of spiritual energy..."

  Psychic energy is too concentrated, it is easy to cause mutations, and even make children deformed or give birth to psychics. And for a place like Wangcheng, there must be a similar barrier isolation, but now it seems that those guys' plan has been half successful.

   "In other words, these guys plan to use the dimension stone to attract spiritual energy, and then play big in the royal city? They will make trouble."

   Duanmu Huai thought for a moment, then looked at the two of them.

   "Is there a solution?"

   "Isn't it good to just absorb it?"

   "Destroy the flow of nodes and prevent the continued absorption of psionic energy."

  However, An and Elf Princess gave completely different suggestions. Afterwards, the elf princess stared at Ann suspiciously.

   "What are you talking about in your sleep? How can you absorb such a huge psionic energy?"

   "It's very simple."

  Facing the Elf Princess' question, An took out the magic book she had always carried with her from her waist.

   "Just absorb the magic power into my magic book."

   "Oh? Is this okay?"

Looking at the magic book in An's hand, Duanmuhuai also asked curiously, he has been traveling with An for a while, and he knows that this magic book never leaves An's body, and every time she casts magic, it will Taking out this magic book, Duanmu Huai didn't know what the use of this magic book was, in short - it shouldn't be used to hit people like Lorena's scripture.

"certainly!"

   Speaking of this, An suddenly became excited.

"And I also drew inspiration from your spellcasting skills, Mr. Knight, if you can absorb a large amount of magic power and condense it in the pages of the book, you can use the magic power to activate magic at any time without chanting! I am trying to Try it!"

"Oh I got it……"

Hearing An's words, Duanmuhuai nodded. It seems that An was inspired by his use of the soul card before, and mistakenly thought it was some kind of instant magic technique, so he also planned to try it out. try.

"Do not joke!"

  However, the elf princess directly interrupted Ann's speech.

   "You are just a human being, there is no way you can bear so much psionic energy! What you do will only bring disaster!"

   "What, do you look down on humans?"

  An also frowned, staring at the elf princess.

   "I'm the head of the Magic Academy, and I'm no worse than you in the use of magic power!"

   "Human beings are really arrogant. No matter how high your spiritual talent is, as long as you are a human being, it is impossible..."

   "Okay, okay, okay..."

   Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Duanmuhuai hastily interrupted the argument. Ann is thinking with the common sense of Manaria, while the Elf Princess is thinking with the common sense of magic in this world. The benchmarks of the two sides are fundamentally different.

  As the elf princess said, it is not easy to be a mage in this world, especially a human mage. They don't have the psionic affinity of elves, nor the psionic resistance of dwarves. Therefore, if magic is used all the time, humans will mutate—similar to the mutation caused by long-term radiation, which is one of the reasons why civilians in this world hate mages.

   "In short, I plan to try An's method first, Your Royal Highness, I understand what you mean, but we must be prepared."

  Duanmuhuai said while looking at the elf princess.

   "You can go to rest, thank you for your assistance."

  Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, the elf princess froze for a moment, then she lowered her head and obediently returned to her room.

   Seeing this scene, An chuckled lightly.

   "I just said, she must have fallen in love with you because you, Mr. Knight, are a hero and saved the beauty."

"hehe."

   Facing An's words, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes.

  He doesn't want to say anything now.
