Chapter 175 Doomsday Cultists
In addition to Philip and the others, the security team who received the news also rushed to the scene very quickly, and the team was still led by August himself!
After inspecting the two attackers and recording the details, Ogst asked several wizards to take them down to check their identities to see if they could find any clues, and then asked Lynn with concern.
"Are you not injured? Your Excellency Lynn? Do you need to invite a potion master?"
Lynn shook his head, indicating that he was fine, and then he heard August sigh. "That's good. In fact, this is the fourth attack in the past two days!"
"Before you, three congressmen have been attacked, and you are the only one who survived."
Lin En paused for a moment, he didn't expect the matter to be so serious, attacking many congressmen openly, this is simply rubbing the face of the entire wizarding land on the ground!
"Your Excellency Lynn, you should find a way to save someone alive. If you can ask something, then we won't be so passive." Rolle on the side couldn't help but say.
In the past two days, the entire security team has been extremely busy. Attacks occurred one after another in Greenriel City, and an extremely important member of parliament was killed. The pressure on them can be imagined. Criticism from few people.
Unavoidably causing widespread panic, the parliament immediately blocked the news, and based on the commonality of the attackers' selected targets, ambushed near the residences of several congressmen who were proficient in elemental science. Unexpectedly, the target of the attack this time was located in another Lynn of the city.
"I can't say that, Rohr, a raid like this is no better than a normal battle, no matter how powerful a wizard is, there will be times when he is negligent, and it is a blessing to be able to survive." Augst shook his head, He refuted Luo Er's words, and then spoke again.
"However, Your Excellency Lynn, please tell me what happened in detail, maybe you can find some important clues."
"About fifteen minutes ago, I was sitting in the seat next to me, studying the spell model of the new magic, and then I saw a dagger stabbing towards my neck..." Lynn roughly explained what happened before and after the attack I read it again, only made certain changes, and deliberately ignored the matter of using psionic magic to retrieve memories.
After hearing the whole attack, the wizards present couldn't help but shudder. They only knew that Lin En was attacked before, but they didn't expect the process to be so thrilling.
This kind of sudden attack without warning is impossible to guard against, not to mention that the assailant still has a [Mage Shield] weapon that can be broken in an instant. No wonder three congressmen died inexplicably at home one after another.
Rohr tried to put himself into Lynn's situation, and was startled into a cold sweat. If he was the one being attacked, he might have become a corpse by now.
But this time the attackers obviously chose the wrong target. This young wizard from the Sea of Mists is not very easy to deal with. Rolle has already experienced this personally when he was in the harbor of Iyeta.
"Master August, do you know what the magic that can avoid sight is?" Lynn asked curiously.
"Probably polarized light magic, or shadow-based spells... In addition, a small amount of psionic magic can also cause people to hallucinate." August said thoughtfully. "There are not many people who know these magics, which is a very important clue."
"Is there anyone to suspect?" Lynn continued to ask. In two full days, three congressmen died. The security team couldn't find anything, right?
Inexplicably encountered an attack. Although he was not injured, Lynn still had some palpitations. If his reaction was slower, the result would be unpredictable.
"These attackers are likely to be related to the doomsday sect that has become active recently." August said with a serious expression, "because the councilors who were attacked are all three-ring wizards who are outstanding in the field of elements and have put forward many unique insights. "
"Judging from the information investigated by the security team, the wizards of the doomsday sect seem to believe that the elements themselves have life and consciousness, and hope that all wizards will give up the study, research and exploration of the elements, and believe that this is the cause of the doomsday. "
Lin En was very shocked. Could it be that these wizards are crazy? Elementalism is the first major subject of magic, and most of the witchcraft models are related to it. This is tantamount to cutting off your own arm.
"No, if all they are looking for are wizards who are proficient in elemental science, then why are they targeting me?" Lynn asked in confusion. He hasn't made any remarks related to elements recently.
"Professor, could it be because your theory of universal gravity conflicts with those people's doomsday remarks?" Lydia hesitated for a moment, then said weakly.
Lin En also realized this very quickly. He had heard from Lydia before that the so-called five-star connection and the fall of the moon in the doomsday prophecy can be refuted by the theory of gravity.
I am equivalent to correcting their doomsday remarks, and disintegrating the soil of the doomsday sect from the root.
In this way, the other party does have a reason to attack him.
"Since you have always suspected that this matter has something to do with the Doomsday Sect, why don't you arrest a few believers and torture them?" Lynn asked again. These wizards were blatantly preaching the Doomsday everywhere, and they almost wrote the label "Troubleshooting" on the face.
Under August's explanation, Lynn realized that he was once again habitually using the thinking of his previous life to think about problems.
Official wizards are a privileged class in Greenriel. If there is no conclusive evidence that the other party violated the law, if an official wizard is arrested and investigated at will, the parliament will face great pressure from public opinion.
Not to mention that there are not a few people who believe in doomsday speeches and elemental spirits. I am afraid that hundreds of wizards will be involved, and rash actions may cause even greater chaos.
"But I can't take care of so much now." August said in a deep voice. "I have dispatched several security teams to follow up and investigate those wizards who spread the doomsday rumors, hoping to find some key evidence."
Lynn nodded. The complexity of the situation exceeded his expectations. If one fails, this matter is very likely to cause a turmoil that will affect the entire city of Greenriel.
"The information I know is basically these. The matter is far from over. You must pay attention to it these days. It is best not to act alone." Ogste solemnly reminded, leaving a few wizards from the security team to strengthen The protection of the manor, and then took the bodies of the two attackers to leave in a hurry, and returned to the sky realm, ready to see if they could find any new clues.
