Chapter 143 [Eve of the Festival Day](2/2)
"Little Duwei, have you guessed it?" Gargamel's eyes flashed: "Look...if this bow is enlarged dozens of times and the shape is slightly changed...wouldn't it be the same as that made on the walls of the Imperial City?
The craftsmanship has been completely lost..."
"Magic cannon!" Du Wei replied steadily. There seemed to be no vibration in his voice, but his eyes were extremely strange: "If this thing were magnified dozens of times, it would be almost equal to a magic cannon! Or rather
...The manufacturing principle of this thing is exactly the same as the magic cannon!"
There was another episode that Du Wei didn't know about at the time:
Just after Du Wei tested the Bow of Annihilation for the first time, on the same day, the garrison of a small town five miles away from the Imperial City reported an official document:
In the summer of the 960th year of the Imperial Calendar, on the evening of June 10th, a meteorite fell from the southeastern sky, with a bright red light and a sound like thunder. The peak on the west side of the town was hit by the meteorite and collapsed. Fortunately, no one was injured. But the road was damaged.
The mountain debris is blocked, please send repairs quickly...
No one knows the truth about this matter. Not even Du Wei himself knows that the power of this arrow is so powerful!
The day before the summer festival day.
Mu De went out early in the morning. He was given a "good job" by Master Duwei in the past two days. He was asked to bring enough gold coins with him every day and wander around the streets. He was left everywhere in pubs, hotels, and square hotels.
Uncle Ma De's footprints will be gathered wherever there are many people. Master Du Wei's explanation is very simple: "You just go out on the street to eat, drink and have fun. You can spend as much as you want, and you can pay all the bills when you come back. But there is one thing. Recently,
If there is any interesting, lively, weird news happening in the imperial capital, or anything different from the past, you should read it carefully and remember it one by one, and tell me about it when you come back."
Such a strange order, Mader didn't say anything, just took the money bag and went shopping.
The day before the summer festival, several bustling streets in the imperial capital were crowded with people. Countless shops opened their doors for business. Merchants traveling from north to south displayed the most bizarre things brought from all over the mainland. You know
The Summer Festival is a grand annual festival on the Roland continent, and in the imperial capital, there are military parades by the city guards and imperial guards, as well as grand citizen parades and celebrations. Especially this year, I heard that on the eve of the National Day
, the court astrologer divined the horoscope. It was said that an unlucky broom star appeared. His Majesty the Emperor was furious and chopped off the unlucky astrologer with a knife. In order to deal with this unhappy matter, His Majesty the Emperor specially ordered that this year's summer festival be updated.
Be extravagant and try to use this celebration and joy to sweep away the gloom brought by the broom star!
With such a lively event, tourists from all over the world flocked to the Imperial Capital. For a time, the bustling Imperial Capital was overcrowded. All hotels were fully booked, especially those near the central square of the Imperial Capital, and the prices were ten times higher than usual.
Times, the guest rooms are in short supply. It is said that this year, His Majesty the Pope has been specially invited to perform magic in the square, and the chairman of the magic union will also come with those mysterious magicians.
More importantly, His Majesty has given a special order. On the day of the festival, the magic circle in the imperial capital will be opened! That thousand-year-old magic circle left over from the era of His Majesty Aragon! The last time the magic circle was opened was twenty years ago in the northwest grasslands.
At the end of the alien war, a magic circle was opened in order to welcome the victorious expeditionary army. Citizens who had experienced that scene deeply remember the majestic and spectacular scene when the magic circle was opened! The brilliant magic light illuminated the entire
The imperial capital is shrouded in it. The sky changes into seven colors! You can even vaguely see all kinds of strange monsters flying in the sky! There are thousands of illusions, confusing the human eye!
I'm afraid you may not be able to catch this kind of excitement once in your life. Wouldn't it be a pity if you missed it?!
Therefore, during this year's summer festival, the number of foreign tourists in the Imperial Capital was several times greater than in previous years, which kept the people of the Imperial Capital Security Office busy. The patrol team of the Public Security Office patrolled the streets every day.
The number increased threefold, and when there were more people, dragons and snakes mixed together, which often caused many public security incidents. Fights, thefts and robberies occurred one after another. The jails in the security station were almost full. The soldiers in the security station complained one by one, and all the people in the security station complained.
Because of the large number of people, all vacations have been cancelled, and they are on duty all day, and even sleep in the barracks of the security station. Many people, even some officers, have not gone home to hug their wives for several days.
The city guards are said to be extremely tired. There have been so many people entering and exiting the imperial capital in the past few days. The number of city guards checking at several city gates has tripled. And just the day before yesterday, in order to reduce the pressure on the imperial capital, with the approval of His Majesty the Emperor,
, coupled with the order jointly issued by the General Headquarters and the Government Affairs Office, temporary restrictions have been imposed on the entry and exit of the imperial capital city gate. You can leave the city, but if you want to enter the imperial capital, you can only queue up. Enter with odd numbers, and refuse with even numbers! Enter the imperial capital.
Everyone in the country must go through strict and detailed registration!
At several city gates, additional brigades of heavily armed Guards soldiers have been deployed. If a riot occurs, they can immediately suppress it on the spot.
Moreover, because the imperial capital was overcrowded, in order to ensure the safety of the nobles and prevent some outsiders from wandering into the noble residences and causing security problems, the Guards specially sent an infantry regiment to guard the area leading to the nobles' mansions near the imperial city.
The "rich areas" and even the temples are temporarily under martial law... After all, there are many believers on the mainland. All believers who come to the imperial capital do not want to go to the sacred temple to see the statue of the great god and listen to the temple's teachings.
True gospel, in this way, in order to ensure the order of the temple, a lot of additional troops were deployed in the streets near the temple to maintain order.
Only the area near the Magic Guild is as quiet as ever. After all, magicians are awe-inspiring in people's hearts, and no one would want to go near the Magic Guild to see what a magician looks like!
Mader ran around outside for several days, during which time a thief even stole a wallet, and two pairs of shoes were trampled off by crowded pedestrians while wandering around. After finally reporting all the news to Du Wei, the young master unexpectedly
There didn't seem to be any expression of satisfaction or dissatisfaction, but he just said lightly: "I know, you can pay for the expenses for the past few days and withdraw the gold coins yourself."
After Mader left, Du Wei tapped his forehead and sat quietly for a moment. A strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and said to himself: "Well, troops have been sent to the city gate... Troops have been sent to the residences of noble families, and arrangements have been made near the temple.
