Chapter 1,283 The Meaning of Protection
Of course the robbers knew the situation in front of them clearly. For the elf guards stationed at the bank - in their eyes, this is the function of elves - the number of people was confirmed during the prior investigation, and the time limit was before the missing elves took out their weapons and came back.
The elves guarding the bank are highly skilled in martial arts, and their threat level is completely different whether they have a bow or not.
As time passed by, the robbers decided not to wait. Facing this stalemate in the plan, they will kill one person first to prove their determination and see if the others are willing to compromise for their own lives to make today's robbery smoother. If it still doesn't work, we can only make other plans.
When the leader raised his flaming sword high, he came to the unfortunate guy who cursed the most unpleasant people. Although their faces were covered, their eyes were not. He showed regret and pity in his eyes and said: "It's a pity. If you were willing to cooperate, the following misfortunes would not have happened. I hope your blood can serve as a reminder to others."
When he realized what fate he was facing, the guy who cursed the most fiercely began to beg for mercy. Even if he occasionally cursed, it was always to curse the elves who were surrounding but doing nothing, and why they should be the guards of the bank.
As for the other people who were held hostage, they shrank their necks and kept silent. Of course they had guessed what was going to happen next, and they were desperately thinking of ways to reduce their losses. And those who were watching the show couldn't help but think about the safety of keeping money in the bank.
Just when the flaming sword was about to fall, a long ghost-like whistle came from far and near, penetrating into everyone's eardrums. Everyone was frightened when they heard the sound, because the sound was not an ordinary sound, but a whistle with divine power.
Such a voice is no stranger to Midi people. Although a person may not hear it once in his life, he must have heard similar rumors.
The man holding the sword was puzzled, and the others also had confused expressions. But when giant shields of various colors smashed through the ceiling of the First Bank, and were accurately inserted between each robber and the kidnapped person, separating the two, the expressions on each face became extremely surprised, and then there were mixed emotions. Chen's emotions filled everyone's chest.
The whistle didn't end, the gods descending from the sky knocked away all the people and elves standing in the bank. They bent their knees, stood up slowly in the eyes of everyone, and held their respective giant shields.
Now everyone's surprised expressions turned into horror!
But this is not the end. The last giant shield with rippling golden light also fell from the sky. In the center of the bank, it not only smashed through the ceiling, but also made a hole in the floor. The shield was embedded in the pit, with frightening cracks extending outward.
When the Lord of Guardians also descended from the sky, he lowered his head and landed on one knee, exploding a ball of explosive wind that spread outward. The person who could barely survive before collapsed completely this time. The person who had fallen down was pushed a long distance again, and could not stop until he was pressed against the wall.
The blond hair was floating in the wind, and the golden light was concentrated from the outside to the inside. At this time, the power in the air seemed to be drained, and all was sucked into the body of the guardian, and the divine power became stronger and stronger.
At this time, everyone was no longer frightened, but was suffocated by the increasingly powerful divine power.
Open your eyes! Although not many people could see it clearly, it affected the hearts of everyone present. The Guardian Lord Apollos, like his Nine Divine Generals, slowly stood up from the ground and scanned the entire place with his eyes. Everywhere you look, you feel as if you are suffocating.
He reached out and grabbed the belt behind the shield, and easily lifted the giant shield embedded in the floor. The moment the giant shield lifted off the ground and clicked, it was as if the fate of some people present was pronounced, and the robbers broke out in cold sweat.
However, they wanted to run but could not take a step. The whole body was stiff, there was no breathing, and there was no heartbeat; there was no wind or sound around him. It's like everything in the world has stopped, only the consciousness is still clear.
Slowly moving forward, Apollos, the mortal god, approached the robber leader holding a flaming sword. At the same time, he said in the divine language belonging to the Lord of Guardians: 'I swear to protect the safety of the people's property. Tsk! ’ It’s a pity that no one understands what this big guy said.
As for the robber, who was watching the god approaching step by step, he had only one thought in his mind: What about it? I'll make a robbery.
This was also the thought that the leading robber ultimately retained in his mind. And the last image his eyes saw was the close-up direct look at his face from that indestructible giant shield.
There were other robbers who also died, no one was spared. This group of people can be considered among the strongest in the world. Without such ability, not many people dare to rob in broad daylight in this city where magicians gather.
In fact, the reason why they dared to do this was because they heard that many people wanted to test the bank's defense. Although no one has the ability to enter the Kingdom of God to rob, not all links are so well protected. So as long as you are the first to stand up, no one outside the bank will interfere.
But it is obvious that it is still not enough for the strongest among humans to face the strongest among gods. No matter how capable the leading robber is, he only deserves to be slapped by the Lord of Guardians! The part struck by the shield turned into flying ash, leaving only two legs standing on the ground, which then fell over.
When the survivors regained their mobility, the guardian lord and his generals had disappeared. If it weren't for the remains of the robber left in the bank, as well as the holes on the floor and ceiling, everyone would have thought that what just happened was just a dream.
A group of elves headed by the dark elf Mai Ershan, because they are the leaders of their respective tribes, have been personally blessed by the World Tree. Maybe they are still powerless to kill the gods, but their strength is enough to serve as pawns and support their respective masters in a divine war. It is said that someone who can become a soldier in the divine war is a rare and powerful person in the world.
But if the target is the Lord of Guardians, the situation is completely different. Even with the support of the World Tree, it was still not enough for them to compete with the power of Apollos after he uttered the word "guard".
So the elves just watched a good show quietly, not daring to take a breath. It wasn't until everyone recovered and the gods left that the few elves who ran to get weapons dared to come out and stand with their companions, looking a little embarrassed. "Well, do you still need these bows?"
The elf who asked the question was not surprised to receive a lot of blank looks. Then the elves looked at Maier, the de facto leader of the group, even though she was gray-skinned.
The dark elf, who had been looking up, noticed that the people around her were staring at her. He smiled at the elves without being salty and said: "I'll ask my husband to help us think of some weapons that we can carry with us later. You can also think about it and use it if you can. This will avoid having to do anything like today. Just stand there. But we have to go next door to send another commission."
Following the dark elf's original gaze, the elves immediately knew what this man was thinking about. Looking at the bright holes on the ceiling, an elf asked doubtfully: "Should we simply change the ceiling into a patio, or other materials that are easy to repair?"
Maiershan replied seriously: "Well, it's a good idea to change it to a patio, and the lighting will be better. But what if it rains? As for changing to other materials that are easy to repair, unless you use magic materials to directly repair it with plastic molding , otherwise reinforced concrete is the cheapest and most useful."
An elf suggested: "What if we design a magic shield? It can protect it from wind and rain. If someone breaks in from the patio, we can consider repairing it immediately, or give it unilateral permission."
The elves come to First Bank, most of them knowing that they will be managing a new bank somewhere else in the future. Therefore, when encountering a problem, everyone will tend to discuss a longer-term solution instead of passively cleaning up the aftermath.
However, regarding everyone's opinions, Mai Ershen said to the point: "Rather than considering letting the matter develop to a situation where the Lord of Guardians must personally come forward, why not consider solving the matter before it happens. This way, you don't have to think about repairing the ceiling and the ground later. It’s about the floor.”
Led by World Tree Fasnas, the atmosphere within the Dark Elf tribe is completely different from other Wood Elf tribes. Dark elves are more aggressive and aggressive. Therefore, when encountering problems, the opinions given by Maiershan are not the same as those of most elves.
All the elves suddenly realized this and said in unison: "Ah!"
Compared to the elves, after watching a scene, they were thinking about the aftermath. The old dwarf who was held hostage, the other people who were unlucky enough to be caught after entering the bank, and the group of people who had made up their minds that it had nothing to do with them, this scene was fascinating whether they acted it out in person or watched from the sidelines. Breaking into a cold sweat.
Of course, the person who was kidnapped survived. Not only did he save his life, he also saved his property in the bank. They all pray in their hearts, pray to the goddess of gold coins, and pray to the Lord of Guardians.
Although no one knows why it belongs to the territory of the Gold Coin Goddess or why it has provoked a powerful existence like the Lord of Guardians, the most important thing is that the money is saved. So at this time, they are not believers but are better than believers.
However, the saddest thing is probably the person who doesn't want to interfere if he doesn't feel that he is in charge. They actually have similar ideas and want to test the loopholes of banks. If it was easy to get money, maybe one day they would find a few friends, cover their faces, and act as robbers.
But the solution is actually for the Lord of Guardians to come forward in person! It's like I just went to a lizard cave to dig out eggs, but unexpectedly a group of giant dragons stood up and guarded the nest. Even kicking the iron plate is not enough to describe how unlucky those robbers were.
So whether they really had an idea or they were thinking of something that would not break the law, from this moment on, all those weird thoughts were given up. If this level of protection is not possible, then there will be no safe place in Midi.
And what happened today, with the publicity of eyewitnesses and the help of the elves in the bank, quickly spread throughout the entire Mystery. This is especially a slap in the face to those who claim that depositing money in banks is not safe.
If she were just a gold coin goddess with weak divine power, everyone would be a little worried. Weak divine powers, not to mention powerful divine powers, cannot defeat them. There is also a hurdle in the middle with medium divine powers.
But if the real guard of the bank is the god named "Guardian", then the nature of the matter is different. An inexplicable confidence caused an uproar in the psychology of people who used banks.
