Chapter 1796
"It's fine here, they were all ordinary people."
Xia De explained, and Miss Beiya, with long golden hair, looked around and nodded:
"Fighting has already started inside the opera house, but it should just be to attract attention. The battle formation tonight is truly not small. Margaret, you stay here, I will make you fall into a coma."
"Yes, Teacher."
The Princess in the carriage said.
"Xia De, use Moonlight Slash on us."
The silver moonlight flew toward the witches. The three raised their hands together, and the shattered moonlight split into three sections and flew toward the side wall of the alley, leaving deep, glowing marks on the wall:
"This will do. Margaret, you don't need to explain anything. You are a victim, and those ordinary people who attacked you were just unlucky to run into someone trying to be a hero saving a beauty."
Then she said to the others:
"I will stay here and return to the opera house after the Grey Gloves people find me. Xiris is currently using memory transformation to act as me in the opera house, so it won't arouse suspicion. Audrey, you go to where you should be now, and remember to explain why you were late for the meeting with the Princess. Sylvia, you and Xia De investigate."
This could be considered Miss Beiya's home field, so she arranged the following matters. The others nodded in agreement, then each took action.
Miss Sylvia reached out and grabbed Xia De's arm:
"Don't resist."
Xia De only felt a blur before his eyes, and then found that the two were already standing at the highest point of the opera house's spire-style roof, with an owl statue beside them. The view here was extremely open, and although it was night, Xia De's eyesight allowed him to clearly see teams of police and large numbers of troops approaching with the Glass Bottle Opera House as the center.
However, this attack was purely created by ordinary people, so the Church's team had no movement.
"How are we going to investigate?"
Xia De asked, and Miss Sylvia replied:
"Before she and the others came over, I bumped into a gunman on the outskirts and asked some things. Now use your perception to cooperate with me to determine if there is any spatial anomaly zone nearby."
She placed her right hand on Xia De's shoulder, and then the two cast spells together:
"Spatial Perception."
"Enhanced Spatial Perception."
Two exceptionally powerful mental forces swept across the entire area. This time, with the great witch of space and Xia De casting spells with all their might, looking down from a high place, Xia De even felt that he had completely mastered all the terrain details of the nearby area, almost as if there was an accurate real-time map in his head.
"What miracle did you use?"
Miss Sylvia was a bit surprised; she also saw a scene similar to Xia De's:
"No need to answer me, we can talk about it later, it's not important. Found it, follow me."
The witch's golden eyes looked toward the destination, and then another step was taken. The two disappeared from the roof of the opera house and appeared in a closed clock shop on the southeast side of the opera house.
Although the shop door was tightly closed and there were no lights inside, there were actually three men sitting inside the shop constantly checking their pocket watches. After Xia De and Miss Sylvia appeared out of thin air, the three immediately raised their guns at them, but only heard a click, and the heads of the three turned toward their backs almost at the same time.
The sound of the corpses falling to the ground was a bit muffled, and the spatial anomaly zone was located on the wall behind the counter of this clock shop. The great witch of space only checked it for a moment before knowing what was going on:
"A spatial anomaly point that accidentally linked here. It was originally quite weak, almost the same as the crack you saw after eating the mushroom Audrey mentioned. Leaving it alone wouldn't be a problem, and there have been many such things recently. However, someone used special spatial power to fix this link point into a temporary space door. Although it cannot exist for a long time, maintaining it for a few hours is no problem. Very impressive, I want to see who is on the other side."
She was not worried about encountering an ambush. The other party only sent ordinary people, indicating that they still dared not violate the "Official Secrets Act," so there could absolutely be no strong enemies on the other side. The life ring appeared behind her, and Miss Sylvia and Xia De passed through the area on the wall that vaguely had the shape of a door. The feeling of weightlessness lasted for only a short second before ending. Lights appeared above their heads, and a wooden door standing in the center of the foyer was pushed open. Xia De and Miss Sylvia walked out of the door one after another.
"The door is open, are they back? No, no, it's not our people!"
Panic-stricken screams came from around the foyer and the railing on the second floor above their heads. After a continuous pattering of gunfire, dozens of bullets stopped around Xia De and Miss Sylvia. The witch looked up at the surroundings, and with a wave of her hand, all the bullets returned along their original paths, hitting everyone who had fired around them.
"Be quick, the Church will be able to find this place soon."
"Yes, I understand."
Xia De and the witch both knew what they had to do. After spatial perception and enhanced spatial perception scanned the building, each took a step in different directions and disappeared from the foyer together. And in the rooms upstairs, panic-stricken screams, gunfire, and other sounds of battle followed immediately.
Just five minutes later, on the third floor of this secret manor hidden in the northern suburbs of Mikaela Furnace City, with an astonishing loud noise, three figures broke through the glass and fell into the courtyard from the third floor in a sorry state. Immediately after, Miss Sylvia flew out surrounded by red butterflies. Xia De appeared in the red butterflies and threw the evil god's holy emblem on the ground:
"Tyranny Club."
There were a large number of ordinary people and a few ring sorcerers in the manor. The three people in front of them were all middle-ring, and none of them could beat Xia De. The highest was the 8th ring, but even if they added up, they were no match for Miss Sylvia at all.
"Who made that space door?"
The witch asked the key question. The three who landed climbed up and did not answer. The life rings of the 8th ring, 7th ring, and 6th ring appeared separately, and the blasphemous 【Fear】, 【Mist】, and 【Poison】 emitted dazzling silver spiritual light:
"Fear Aura!"
"War Fog!"
"Deadly Mercury!"
The silver mist with the power to corrode flesh and soul drifted away, but Miss Sylvia just waved her hand, and those deadly silver mists disappeared as if they had been erased.
The three then each held a holy emblem and praised the evil god 【God of Tyranny】 in unison, but just as the words of praise were spoken, one of their chests was pierced by the lightning spear thrown by Xia De. The silver lightning exploded, blowing up the right half of his body, but he only fell into a coma and did not die.
The remaining two used the evil god's divine arts together, and a pitch-black giant hand condensed from the air and slapped toward Miss Sylvia, but the witch just took a light step and dodged the impact that ignited black flames on the manor behind her.
She looked up into the distance, then raised her hand to imprison the 6th-ring woman in place with spatial lockdown. The remaining 8th-ring sorcerer turned and flew into the distance, then ran head-on into the Church's ring sorcerers who had arrived from the night sky.
Those were two 12th-ring sorcerers. Neither Xia De nor Miss Sylvia knew them, but the traces of divine arts symbolizing the True God 【Father of Peace】 on them could not be forged.
The two easily captured the already injured 8th-ring man. After landing, they looked at the remaining people in this hidden manor, and after careful consideration, the old man wearing glasses said:
"Is there any intelligence that can be shared?"
Miss Sylvia looked at Xia De, and Xia De said:
"We have been tracking the 【Tyranny Club】 for a long time. We only found their stronghold outside the city tonight after encountering them assassinating Margaret Anjou. The Church should already know that there is an Edwards in the 【Tyranny Club】. We suspect that the space door connecting this manor and the clock shop in the city is the work of that Edwards. This special power, which is different from the ring sorcerer system, should be the talent of the Edwards bloodline."
Among the three captives, Miss Sylvia would take the 6th-ring woman back for interrogation, and the Church could take the other two. The two 12th-ring sorcerers of the Peace Church looked at each other:
"May I ask who you are?"
"Witch Council."
Miss Sylvia admitted generously. Although there was a man standing beside her, no one knew if it was an illusion:
"We have shared intelligence, now it's your turn. What happened tonight?"
The Church's ring sorcerers did not begrudge the information that could be easily found:
"The 【Tyranny Club】 planned the attack on Princess Margaret Anjou. Not only her, Duke Simir and Prince Samuel Anjou also encountered attacks at the same time. Prince Samuel Anjou was knocked down by his guards and was lucky enough to escape, but Duke Simir's right leg was shot. Arterial bleeding, very dangerous, fortunately it was treated in time. On the corpses left by the attackers, there were identification marks of MI6. As for whether it was them, this has nothing to do with us."
MI6's actions would definitely not let their own people carry identification marks, so it was definitely not MI6 people.
Miss Sylvia nodded:
"The 【Tyranny Club】 and the two Fifth-Generation Edwards in the hands of the Dragon Feast Cult may have important intelligence about that island. If you can get it, the Council is willing to exchange it for other intelligence."
This could be considered as confirming her identity again.
The old man wearing glasses nodded, and then suddenly asked:
"Is there anyone of yours in the Edwards family?"
Miss Sylvia showed a smile, holding the hand of the 6th-ring woman who could not move:
"You guess."
After a loud explosion, a gold-black vortex appeared behind her. Xia De nodded politely to the two high-ring sorcerers and walked in first, followed closely by Miss Sylvia.
A few more gunshots came from the distance, startling the birds in the forest. To the north was Green Lake under the calm night, and to the south was the Glass City. Only in the direction of the city, black smoke was rising at some point.
The silent night, I'm afraid, will not continue to be silent.
