Chapter 357 Emergency Summons

The earth was chirping violently, as if it was about to lift up the city's veins, and the pillars supporting the buildings also made a creaking sound. Before the alert people could recover from the tension, they almost fell to the ground because of the violent swaying unstable foothold.

A hole was exposed on the collapsed ground again, and the bloated pieces of meat fell into the warehouse on the ground floor, making a sound like bones were crushed. A palm-wide crack was also cracked on the road connecting the door, and it seemed that it could no longer bear further damage.

A wave of sound came from the middle of the city in the distance, as if dozens of cannons were fired together, followed by a loud explosion. Although some people wanted to rush to the front door immediately to see what was going on, the shaking ground made them unable to squat on the ground to protect themselves.

After a while, the vibration that almost made people stand steadily stopped slowly. The hall, which had been ruined after several destructions, became even more broken. If the dilapidated pillars around were not still working, they might have been buried under the rubble.

"What's going on? Could it be an earthquake? But I remember that according to the college's investigation, there shouldn't be such a vibration around Katris."

A spell grinned and stood up. During the vibration just now, he accidentally tripped on a cement board, and his left forehead was scraped off. However, he did not care about his bloody head, but used spells to repair the pillars around him to prevent it from falling out.

"It's not an earthquake, but something exploded, and it's probably near the central square." Liqi, who was protected by Curt, showed an obvious unhappy expression. However, she couldn't tell what was going on. "It might be that the thing in the 'cocoon' finally came out. It might be that Seindemocra made something else and you can take a look at these things."

She muttered quietly, and she conveyed several strange-colored pictures to Curt's mind - large patches of colorful light and shadow covered the part that should be the air. A little further away, the twisted aperture echoed everywhere, and the light that was completely unavailable to "normal" tingled Curt's nerves.

This is something that the lower elves "see" and Liqi threw it out without any processing. They have different ways of perception from humans, of course they cannot express their own views perfectly. Despite this, in the colorful vision, they can still barely see changes in the space separated by the light wall.

Originally, a huge pit appeared on the ground of the central square, and the damage was broken by vibrations. It seemed as if it was in a storm, and the magic in the space was dancing like crazy. The strange lights and shadows that Curt saw were the manifestation of the magic power in the eyes of the lower elves.

Several towering buildings were dug out a large piece, but this was not a damage caused by the earthquake. Because there were no scattered wreckage everywhere. As time went by, more places were dug out, as if an invisible monster was gnawing on them.

Under the wall of light, you can see figures running back and forth. However, in the eyes of the lower elves, humans are like them in the eyes of humans, with almost no individual difference. Curt could not judge the identity of these figures, and could only hope that the magicians who were maintaining the stability of the wall of light.

"Cott, is Liqi okay? If you are fine, take her to a safe place. As for the account you have disappeared for no reason, we will settle it later!"

The eldest sister shouted at Curt, her arm seemed to be bleeding because she was hit by a piece of metal plate of year: "Everyone. Don't worry about the conditions on each floor above, now retreat to the open space outside the building as soon as possible - I know you want to rescue your companions, but it's stupid to put yourself in for this!"

The dirt-faced people did not stand up until then, but the previous "earthquake" caused them to have more or less new injuries on their bodies who were rushing to avoid. Although I don't know if there are survivors in the building, it is obviously unsafe to stay here now.

Fortunately, except for the few civil servants who were attacked by monsters at the beginning, most of the people present had no effect on their ability to move. So under the command of the elder sister, they helped up their injured companions and carefully withdrew from the Sushi Hall building, which was almost destroyed.

Grosted wanted to stay for the last investigation. Especially the monster that condensed into flesh and blood made him care. However, after watching the pieces of meat that had stopped twitching for a while, he shook his head gently and instead helped the people around him carry the remaining valuables.

Buzz —

Suddenly, Curt heard a sour metal sound. He looked over with the sound as thin as a mosquito. He saw a sphere as big as a pumpkin. The sphere that had previously flew into the hall rolled in towards Curt, and the metal plate wrapped around the outside was covered with scars bombarded by spells.

There was only it in the entire space without any trace of red. Although it existed in front of everyone, it seemed to be outside everything. Sand and dust and flames left many traces on it, but this obviously could not cover the thickness of the metal.

In the blink of an eye, several irregular cracks cracked on the closed metal sphere, and a circle of hot steam spewed out. The pumpkin-sized sphere seemed to have a large number of mechanic structures hidden, and the friction of machinery suddenly echoed through the already uneasy space.

"In fact, I always thought that people in this world were polite gentlemen, and would not even let go of a passing 'construction'." A slightly mechanical sound came from the metal block. "You know, if it were not for the protection of this armor plate, I might have been demolished."

The scarred armor plate on the outside is lifted up layer by layer and then stored on both sides of the torso. The intact metal structure on the inside appears in front of Curt. The thin skeleton is composed of an unknown metal, and the hooks surrounding the core extend like arms.

It is Aurodin, the librarian of the Tower of Silver Glory, and it is also a construct made by technology different from this world. It is said that it is a "exotic man" from the unknown world, but at this time he works under the command of Dean François and sometimes acts as his messenger.

The cold metal structure became a few simple deformations, and it changed from an airtight sphere to a structure spliced ​​together by a complex mechanic structure. A strange mark flashed on the spherical mechanical core, and a burning eye was inlaid in the abstract five-pointed star.

"Long time no see, Mr. Leinster."

The metal skeleton politely gestured to Curt, and then said in the voice of a tablet: "It has been a while since we last met. During this period, I have accumulated a lot of information and I want to talk to you, but now there are more important things that must be done."

Although I have been exposed many times before, Curt has never understood its thoughts - maybe it is because the emotional expression of the construct is too insignificant. There is no emotion in the "eyes" burning with a wonderful luster, only the blue light is floating up and down.

After greeting Curt with his own style of greeting, the weird component flew into the air without caring, and the metal blades supported its body with a strange energy. Under the surprised eyes of everyone, Aurodin's hook claws cast a blue light.

"Everyone here, Dean François asked me to convey an important message." The light depicted the map of Catris, and the sound of Aurodin's inorganic substance vibrated the air. "It is no longer the time to suppress intelligence, and everyone must understand how dangerous they are."

The first half of the sentence is still a metallic sound without any emotion, and then it becomes the usual tone of Cruce François when he spoke. It seems that Aurodin had recorded his speech before he set off, and is now conveying it directly to everyone present through a part of his body.

There was more than one place where the sound was heard, and the city seemed to be connected by Aurodin with some device as a node for transmitting sound. At the same time, it seemed to be in line with Dean François's speech, and it simply used light to draw a map of the city in the air.

"Citizens, you may have noticed that there have been changes in this city, but they were asked by the guards to hide in a 'safe' place. But I must tell you that whether it is this abnormal sky or the earthquake just now, it is all attacking by a group of magicians."

Dean François's voice came out through Aurodin's metal structure, becoming a bit strangely distorted, but it could still be heard from his tone that he was a little anxious. What's strange is that although he said this, the beam of light projected by Aurodin painted different words.

The light wall around the central square was specially circled out by white text, and a few key places with weak defense were also marked with small words. Not only the central square, but also some key places - such as the Town Hall and the Guard Building - were also marked.

Through Aurodin's retelling, President François asked the citizens to take refuge in designated locations while arranging defense work. The guards and the purpose of the English-Knowledge were all considered. He, as a senior member of the city hall, asked them to rush to the assigned jobs immediately.

The constantly refreshed text has clearly shown the opinions of this high-level magician with the title of "Twelve Directions", and no one with ability can idle. The city has become unsafe, and the upcoming disaster may be much more dangerous than a natural disaster.

On the map depicted by Aurodin, Curt saw that his and Liqi's names were circled, and a sentence was written in an emphasis font next to it.
