December 28, 1835.
The first day of the imperial legal annual leave.
It is jokingly called "the disaster day at the end of the year" by every imperial citizen.
The annual discount promotion has overcrowded the streets and shops in all cities.
Police officers everywhere were sweating and trying their best to maintain order.
His voice broke, his shoes were trampled off, his hat disappeared, and even his face was covered with skin, cream and glittering powder put on by the child.
On the streets of the imperial capital.
The big Carnival at the end of the year is also on.
"Don't crowd! Line up..."
"Washing powder! Buy three and get one free!"
"Whose child is lost! Please go to the imperial police station to claim it immediately!"
Holding a glass of red wine in his hand, Baruch stood in front of the office window, overlooking the crowded traffic and crowds on the street.
Compared with the enthusiastic smiling faces of imperial citizens, his eyebrows were frowned and worried.
"How's Cole's investigation going?"
The secretary who wrote the report put down his pen, opened the memo and replied, "at 6:50 this morning, Cole Walker reported to the devil hunt for the last time.
According to the report of the Institute of mystics.
They have got important clues and are still under investigation. I called an hour ago and no one answered. "
"What about Hagrid town and fishing boat town?"
"The people who need to be evacuated have been evacuated. The investigation in Haig town is going step by step, but... The investigators who entered the fishing boat town have lost contact for more than four hours."
Baruch looked out of the window.
Due to the pressure of the demon hunting group and the central police station, the media reported very little and selectively on the riots in cities along the Mengxi Strait.
But he knows.
If the truth of the riot is completely made public, it is bound to cause a nationwide panic.
As for the perpetrators of the riots.
From the Nord order, a group of terrible guys with supernatural power.
They call themselves the first wizard in human history, the successor of Nord, the Savior of the human world, and the destroyer of hell and gods.
Call on all mankind to join them and become their companions.
Together purify this dirty world saturated by dark forces and full of weird and terrible.
The development of a hundred years of silence.
The church, which has always kept a low profile, has revealed their tusks and ambitions to the world after all.
This time.
A civilian suddenly broke into the office, clutching a manuscript in his hand, breathed heavily and said hurriedly, "Sir, there is a telegram from the Nord order!"
Baruch put down his glass and frowned, "bring it!"
His eyes flashed over the manuscript with only five lines of text.
"Do the other directors know about it?"
"Not only the demon hunting regiment, but also the major newspapers, cabinet switchboard and radio stations have received the same telegram! They... They..."
Baruch was about to say something when he suddenly heard a cry from the crowd downstairs.
The Secretary sitting at his desk stood up impressively, looked through the glass on the window, and looked shocked for a moment.
"Lord Baruch, that's..."
Turn around.
The high-ranking director of the demon hunting regiment looked up at the sky.
A huge, obscuring the sky.
Under the interference of supernatural forces on the reconstruction of reality, the symbol of the Nord order composed of dark clouds rolled endlessly and pressed against the imperial capital.
meanwhile.
The loudspeakers in the street made a harsh and sharp sound.
Everyone covered their ears and looked miserable.
Baruch gradually forced his hand holding the wine glass. An unknown premonition surged into his heart, pointed to the Secretary's nose and shouted, "contact the radio station immediately! Find out what's going on for me!"
"I'll go now!"
After the harsh noise.
A low, gentle, but provocative male voice sounded in the imperial capital.
"My fellow citizens, the forces of the dark world are growing. Each of us has been oppressed and violated by them more or less.
However, living in such a world.
What is the power to protect us?
Vulnerable armies of various countries?
Or is it a demon hunting group dominated by bureaucrats and unscrupulous people? "
Not just monsidius.
The same voice, at this moment, echoed over the Empire, every country in the world and all modern cities with huge populations.
On the streets of the imperial capital.
The police officer who received the order to dismantle the loudspeaker and the demon hunter separated a road with a baton and began to disperse the crowd in the street in large quantities.
At the same time.
Another person ran into Baruch's office, looked frightened and gasped, "Lord Baruch, the radio station has cut off the power supply.
But those trumpets... Those trumpets are now dominated by very powerful spiritual forces!
We... We can't dismantle them all in a short time! "
The civilian voice of the report has just fallen.
A young female demon hunter rushed into the office and said, "Lord Baruch! The Institute of mystics has detected unknown high-intensity spiritual interference in major cities of the Empire!
The central police station also called, riot... "
Baruch put the glass on the table, motioned her not to speak and looked out of the window.
In the street downstairs, the sound of the loudspeaker continued, "we have had enough of being invaded by the dark world, exploited and oppressed by bureaucrats and incompetent demon hunters.
My name is gandovich Nord, the successor of the first wizard in human history, and a martyr who spread the fire of power to the world.
I am not afraid of pain.
I am not afraid of death.
I am not afraid of hell and gods.
What I fear is only the destruction and disaster facing the world, and my relatives die miserably in oppression.
My fellow citizens.
Join us, take away the fire of my power, resist the incompetent rulers of the world, and resist the erosion and persecution of hell and the dark world.
Gods, demons, emperors, bureaucrats
no
We are the real masters of the world!
The power of the world should return to everyone's hands! Stab -- "
After the noise, the provocative speech came to an abrupt end.
The bustling streets originally prepared for the new year spread from the headquarters of the demon hunting regiment to the fukalin brotherhood at the northernmost end.
People looked at each other in silence.
The garrison rushed into the crowd, loaded with guns and set up sentries on the streets to prevent large-scale riots and casualties in the imperial capital.
The imperial police station rushed out to persuade the shop owner to close down.
Persuade city residents to return home.
However.
There are still people infected by this speech, yelling at the law enforcers who maintain order, shouting that they want to join the Nord order, accept gonduoqi's fire, and resist the oppression and invasion of the dark world and reality.
As a result, they were tortured away by a crowd of military police and put in the car.
Baruch stood silent by the window for a long time, turned and looked gloomy. He said to the staff and demon hunters standing at the door and preparing to report the situation to him, "let all demon hunters still in the imperial capital stop their work, cooperate with the imperial police station to investigate the suspicious elements of the Nord church lurking in the city.
Call the imperial police station and ask them to block cities as soon as possible.
Call the cabinet and hold a top-level meeting to consider recalling at least three demon hunters in the trial sequence. "
After that.
The people at the door seemed to be still immersed in the shock just now, and there was no action.
Baruch said angrily, "don't all stand here and go to work!"
