Throne of Magical Arcana

Rentat, in a dark street.

Two sneaky little men were moving quickly while carrying a heavy object. Suddenly, several figures jumped out from around the corner, each of them grabbed a hand and pushed them down to the ground.

when! After the heavy thing fell to the ground, it made a crisp sound.

"The black dog of Granling Street!" one of the little men blurted out in surprise and anger.

Slap, he was slapped hard on the face, a man in a black uniform came out from the darkness, bent and squatted in front of him: "Please call us Mr. Police."

Since the headquarters of the Holm Kingdom Police Agency is located on Granling Street in the administrative area, gang members, small gang criminals and some citizens use Granling Street as the popular name for the Police Agency.

This slap woke up the little man, and he said in fear, "Yes, Mr. Police."

I heard that the black-skinned dog on Granling Street has a unique apprentice-level alchemy item, and being hit by it is like an electric shock, which will cause long-lasting general paralysis and pain. Life is worse than death, so facing this group of black-skinned dogs Never try to be aggressive when you are a dog.

"Your crime of manhole cover theft was caught on the spot, the evidence is conclusive, and will be sent to the municipal court for trial, um, the crime of 'endangering public safety by dangerous means', if nothing else, you will have a pleasant time in the mine For half a lifetime, of course, if you are willing to be the experimental items of some Mister Sorcerer, you may be able to return to Rentat in a year." The senior police detective patted the little thief on the face.

The little thief was stunned: "It's the crime of endangering public safety by dangerous means...Mr. Police, what kind of crime is this? Me, we just steal manhole covers and sell them for money!"

This long list of names is terrifying at first glance, and it is obviously a serious crime.

"Hey, I told you bastards a long time ago, pay attention to radio stations such as 'Voice of the Kingdom of Holm', and pay attention to the latest regulations and regulations. The crime of endangering public safety by dangerous methods was added to the Kingdom's Code "The specific meaning of the charge is... In this era, thieves who don't know how to listen to the radio will be eliminated sooner or later!" The senior detective stood up straight.

This was a crime specifically proposed by Natasha when the House of Lords was discussing the "Aircraft Management Regulations" and "Road Safety Regulations", so as to prevent someone from intentionally using aircraft disasters or car accidents to achieve the purpose of murder.

"I, we just stole the manhole cover..." The two little thieves looked like they were about to cry, what a terrible sight it would be to spend the rest of their lives in the mine.

As for reducing crimes by becoming a magician's experimental item, they never thought about it, it might be more terrifying than death!

The senior police detective snorted: "You stole the manhole cover and let a large number of citizens fall into it and suffered trauma. Isn't it the crime of 'endangering public safety by dangerous means'? Please repent after you arrive at the mine!"

"No, Mr. Police, please forgive us. If we knew the crime, we would not dare to do such a thing."

"Mr. Police, I, I have important information!"

The two little thieves scrambled to speak first.

The senior police detective nodded in satisfaction, and ordered the surrounding policemen: "Take them back and interrogate them carefully, and hand over the recorded statements to me first."

Seeing the two little thieves being escorted away crying bitterly, a policeman next to him said flatteringly: "Boss, you are so powerful, you can defraud them of important information by just frightening them."

"Who told them not to listen to the radio, to be honest, I really want to accuse them of this crime, XX, let me fall in front of the public this morning!" The senior police detective said angrily.

No wonder the boss is walking with a limp today. It turned out that he almost fell into the sewer... The policeman thought, not daring to answer.

The senior police detective ordered the other police officers: "Put the manhole cover back in place and lock it up with something so that it won't be stolen again before dawn. Hey, how can we do such a small thing? There are not enough manpower! Other cases Do you want to follow! This kind of thing should set up a special department to maintain it."

The few remaining policemen worked together to lift the manhole cover back to its original place and put it away. At this moment, one of them had a sudden thought: "Did someone fall when we rounded up those two thieves just now?"

"How is it possible, it's already late at night! And we haven't been staring at this place for only a few minutes." The policeman who flattered the senior detective before said without any worries, then took out a bottle of specially prepared apprentice-level alchemy potion and poured it on In the cracks of the manhole cover, so that the manhole cover will stick firmly in the cold tonight until it slowly melts away during the day.

This is their temporary method of dealing with similar incidents, a method specially created by magicians.

After doing all this, the policemen who hurried back to the warm Granling Street left quickly.

Not long after, the manhole cover suddenly made a sound of "boom", "boom", "boom", but with the help of a special alchemy potion, the manhole cover remained motionless.

In the dark sewer, Nasder intuited that hot blood rushed to his forehead, what happened to Rentat? Dig a hole right in the middle of the street? I fell so badly that my body was still covered in blood!

Anger, aggrieved, and astonished emotions welled up in his heart, making him wish he could immediately transform into a werewolf and knock the manhole cover away with one punch.

"Calm down, calm down, don't expose your identity as a werewolf, or you won't be able to complete the mission of Your Excellency the Prince." Nasder said to himself over and over again in his heart.

Finally, he got his anger under control and took a deep breath of satisfaction, only to be nearly gagged by the stench.

"I am a calm and wise werewolf that His Excellency the Prince values, and I must not be like other reckless guys!" It said to itself again, and then staggered towards the other direction of the sewer relying on the werewolf's powerful self-healing ability.

After walking for a while, another roar erupted in the sewer: "Bastard, it's stuck here too!"

"Damn it, what the hell are people in Rentat thinking!"

After walking a long distance, when Nasder felt that he was about to lose control, the manhole cover above did not show signs of sticking.

He pushed open the manhole cover, climbed out, took a deep breath of fresh and cold air, and felt that it was the most delicious thing he had encountered in his life.

Even an adult werewolf would inevitably be physically and mentally exhausted after going through this series of events, so he walked outside a seemingly abandoned house next to him, sat down with his back against the wall, and took a deep breath while recovering his body. trauma.

The injury he fell into the sewer has healed, but the pain that seemed to come from the bone marrow after the electric shock made his body quite sluggish, and he could only wait for the sequelae to slowly disappear.

"Rentat's changes have a good side, but also a very dangerous side: lightning magic circles everywhere without safety protection, random holes dug in the middle of the avenue..." Nasder is still unwilling to admit that he has no The common sense of "safe use of electricity" believes that the actions of magicians are too risky and aggressive.

The night was dark and peaceful, and Nasder felt that his mood was gradually calming down, and his injuries were recovering quickly: "But these encounters are just episodes, I have escaped the danger, and everything will be fine again."

The idea in his heart had just emerged, and the keen intuition from the racial talent made him aware of the great danger, and he rushed forward without thinking.

However, his body has not fully recovered, and the sequelae of the electric shock are still affecting him, so his movements are a little slower.

boom!

The abandoned house behind him exploded violently and completely collapsed.

"Are the people in Rentat crazy? Their own house was blown up without warning?"

Nasder never thought that the house behind him would suddenly explode. If it was targeting him, he should have noticed it long ago!

Boom!

The shock wave hit Nasder's body fiercely, and the walls, stone bricks, dust and other things "submerged" the surrounding area profusely!

"Why, why..."

At the street entrance on the other side of the house, a group of people watched the explosion.

"Director, the new alchemy explosives provided by the magicians are very effective." Watching the houses collapse one after another, an ordinary brown-haired man excitedly said to the middle-aged man in front of him.

"Very good, it saves us the demolition work. I believe that we will soon be able to widen the streets here and build a comfortable new civilian area in Rentat." The supervisor who directed the demolition work nodded in satisfaction, worthy of the boss I went to Allinge to buy a new type of alchemy explosive and asked a magician who specializes in explosions in the element system to point out where to place it.

The ordinary person next to him saw that the supervisor was in a good mood, so he casually asked out of curiosity: "Director, why do we have to demolish it in the middle of the night, aren't we afraid of disturbing the sleep of nearby citizens?"

"Then block the passage of this road during the day? This is a street that leads directly to the city gate. I don't know how many goods enter the market area from here! Is it important for those rich people or ordinary citizens? Hurry up and let those lazy guys move." Get up and clear the streets before dawn!" The supervisor ordered loudly.

A large group of workers began to work, and the ordinary man looked around worriedly: "Director, I didn't check whether there are still people inside before the explosion..."

"How could there be someone? It is blocked on all sides, and a warning sign is made with a magic crystal lamp. Who would not have eyes to break in? And all the intersections are watched by our people, unless he can fly or burrow into the ground !" The supervisor said angrily.

…………

In the early morning, Ali left the rented house, walked across a bustling street, and walked towards the aristocratic district.

"The demolition explosion last night was really horrible..." he sighed as he walked.

Announcements were posted in advance for the demolition work, and various notices were made, so he, who is literate, knew exactly what happened to the explosion last night.

There is a monastery near the entrance of the aristocratic area, but it has been converted into a school, and the sound of reading can be heard from time to time, and exquisite and gorgeous carriages are constantly coming from the distance of the aristocratic area, directly driving into the school.

"Jane, Class 1, Class 1, General Education, Grade 2, Mills School, Qining Street, Rentat Noble District..." Ali looked at the school from a distance, and silently read the communication method of his pen pal.

In the second year after the establishment of the general school, the nobles decided to follow it and establish a special school for the nobles, and they could not allow their noble blood to study together with ordinary people—whether they wanted to or not, they had to admit this common sense. The way of learning can stimulate my children's enthusiasm for learning more than the previous single family education, and this environment helps to establish personal connections from an early age, and there is a considerable social circle before adulthood.

Ali watched aristocratic carriages and alchemy cars drive into the school, and saw aircrafts of different shapes flying in the sky (there were car models, boats, and airships, to name a few). Deeply felt a gap and an invisible wall.

He sighed, turned around and left like many days before, with complex emotions in his heart, including inferiority complex, dissatisfaction, frustration, pain like being pricked by a needle and the resulting strong desire.

Walking, he came to the neighborhood where the block was demolished last night, and then heard a strange whimper.

"Eh?" Ali followed the prestige, and found a big dog lying in the grass, its eyes were closed, and its silver-gray fur was covered with blood and dust.

"This dog is really like a wolf..." Ali sighed. He knew from books that there is indeed a kind of dog that looks like a wolf.

With good intentions, Ali walked over and found that the dog had many scars, so he smiled and said, "Fortunately, you met me."

During this period of time, he did a temporary job in the hospital of the Magic Council and learned to bandage, so he took the sleepy and moaning dog home with great difficulty and wrapped it like a mummy.

After a while, he saw the big dog waking up, his eyes staring blankly ahead, and two lines of muddy tears flowed out.

"Crying, crying?" Ali encountered this kind of thing for the first time, so he comforted him like facing a human being: "It will be better, hehe, don't thank me, don't be touched, we will all get better in Rentat of."

The big dog cried even harder at the word Rentat.
