Blood of Mercury

Chapter 73: Go underground (top)

People looked at Roland in awe.

That's not to fear Roland's power. It's just a black iron, maybe it's enough to be a team leader in other places, but it's far from enough to see in the city of wealth.

The only thing Roland deserves their attention is his ability to predict the future.

After all, the deepest fear of man is the unknown. And a prophet who can break the fog of the unknown is enough to be awe-inspiring.

Just like the Druid of Caral, or the astrological wizard of the White Tower.

"I heard that the status of the guardian of heaven is equal to the viscount of Su Ze-"

The old man rolled his eyes before and said seriously to the others, "We must devote our loyalty to this lord. Only by uniting can we survive this natural disaster."

Ha ha.

Roland sneered quietly.

Well planned.

First pick up Roland, who is very weak, and use Roland's identity as a prophet to gather others together. While using his identity as a proposer to befriend Roland, he also elevates himself in the eyes of others because of his relationship with Roland. status, and finally replaced Roland at an opportune time.

The most different thing about the city of wealth from other places is that the residents of the city of wealth are basically impossible to have awe of the nobles - if you play with a nobleman in the lock of green fruit until the early morning, or with a nobleman. You won't have much awe for the lord knights blowing till dawn in the bars of Rib Street.

The purest heart of reverence comes from distance, which is the eternal truth. Once the distance is too close, this kind of awe will inevitably be stained with other colors.

Therefore, if he said this in other places, he might have brought a lot of loyal men to Roland, but only in the impossible place of the city of wealth, Roland's "identity equivalent to a noble" may incur The jealousy and greed of others.

First assist, then usurp. More classic routines, simple and effective.

But the old man obviously overlooked one thing - this is Broken Throat Avenue, the territory of General Ferraro. Even if the Broken Maw sticks he brought in while hiding his identity were blown up and killed, and those who were trapped were trapped... But is there only a wizard and no one else beside the wizard?

For example, an elite killer organization capable of hiding under the noses of spies from various forces.

Thinking about it, I also know that the half-baked wizards under Marcus's team who can only crack thunder and can't predict witchcraft, how can they accurately find the top of every dark crow hidden in the street. The only one who can find a ranger in the wild is a ranger. Similarly, the only killer who can find a killer in a chaotic city is a more elite killer.

To be more precise, they were two silver-level magic sword wizards who had undergone rigorous training.

Roland had previously warned that the bomb might be on the corner - this incident immediately made these most trusted eyes of Marcus on Roland's vigilance.

That's right, Tianqi Guard is indeed a possibility for Roland to discover the bomb before everyone else. But there is another possibility that Roland himself is the one who planted the bomb.

This incident is undoubtedly a crisis for Roland, but it is also an opportunity.

——An opportunity to completely turn everyone's eyes away from Roland.

After being induced and differentiated by Roland, people with at least the ability to climb on the roof and with basic obedience occupied thirteen roofs, of which eight were killed because the ground collapsed, and the remaining five were killed. The roof was carefully calculated by Roland - the people on each roof just happened to be not as strong as Roland here, but if the people from the two roofs combined, they would definitely beat Roland here.

Under this kind of check and balance, Roland's existence forced them to form an alliance, and because of mutual scruples, their alliance could not exceed the three parties anyway.

No matter who formed an alliance, it would attract the attention of the remaining magic knife wizard. Coupled with Roland's magic knife wizard here, there will always be people in at least one area that are not monitored.

Before Roland revealed a decisive flaw, no matter how much suspicion he was under, the Wizards of the Sword still couldn't be sure that he was the one who planted the bomb. In other words, as long as Roland can prove his absolute innocence, the golden-level powerhouses headed by Marcus will turn their attention to the remaining area.

The current situation is that as long as Roland is given a short time, he can complete his arrangement.

First of all, the first step is to prove yourself innocent...

Thoughts in his mind turned, Roland did not immediately respond to the old man, but first looked at the expressions of the three silver-level powerhouses: only one of the three of them showed obvious disdain on his face, and there was a faint expression on the other's face. Suspect. Only the youngest man nodded in agreement.

...It seems that the nail is the last one.

Roland narrowed his eyes.

"As long as you are willing to believe me," Roland repeated, "as long as you obey my orders, I can lead you out of here."

"Of course, of course. Old Joseph obeyed orders."

The old man had a serious face, his voice was full of vigour without trembling, but his tone was almost flattering.

"Then, I'll give you the first order—"

The corners of Roland's mouth twitched slightly, his tone changed without warning, and he immediately said solemnly: "The three silver-ranked people stand at the front with me, and protect the old man, woman and child in the middle of the team!"

"Melee professionals stand on the periphery consciously! Remote professionals will supervise them!"

"Sneak professionals immediately enter stealth~www.NovelMTL.com~ those who are higher than the bronze rank are at the back of the team, and the black iron rank and the formal rank come to the front and stand between the four of us!"

"The wizard immediately began to communicate the rules for detection, and gradually increased the connectivity to the Wall of Orm by starting the three-stage depressurization method."

"All classes in armor have a defensive stance, and those with keen perceptions will lift my spirits!"

"The ranger put away the bow and crossbow, took out your melee weapons, and launched an attacking posture!"

"Everyone is not allowed to leave the team without authorization, maintain the formation, engage in battles freely, and kill the enemy!"

"—If you see the enemy, you will kill!"

At first, everyone listened to Roland's orders with a sneering or obedient attitude, but the more they listened, the more damp fear reverberated in their hearts.

Not right.

This arrangement is not right.

——This is definitely not an arrangement to resist natural disasters or avoid explosive attacks, but more like some kind of defense and suppression of unknown enemies.

But even if they realized that something was wrong, they had already subconsciously followed Roland's arrangement and stood at the position of the station, entering the battle-ready stance.

"This...sir, who are we going to fight?"

Facing the question of the tricky knife wizard who had sneaked in, Roland's expression turned solemn, and a faint iron-blooded aura suddenly emanated from him.

"I judge that the person who placed the bomb should be in the sewers," Roland's voice was sonorous and powerful, "We can't pin all our hopes of life on the murderer."
