Chapter 320: Sounds From All Sides

Early the next morning.

The sun had not yet risen from the horizon, the streets were dark, and the gray fog was still rolling.

Soon, a group of uninvited guests broke the silence of the street. They walked silently in the darkness, not holding torches like the patrol team. Their goal was the Knights Templar at the end of the street, which was still lit.

In the underground black market.

The bustling streets were extremely quiet. It was five o'clock in the morning, and most citizens were enjoying a rare rest time in the crowded underground space.

Looking into the street, the watch shop run by Andre was still lit, and the warm light shone through the window and shone on the street, as if the owner of the shop had gotten up early and was busy.

In the shop.

There was a constant "click" sound, and Andre's hands were flexibly tapping the strange machine on the table. Its shape looked like the old-fashioned typewriter that Chu Ming had seen, but it was more bulgy, and the whole was more like a large toaster with slots. Above the keyboard slot, two roller-shaped ones kept moving to the right with the "click" sound of the machine.

The round nail key fell, and one word after another fell into the paper clamped by the roller below the typewriter. The paper seemed to have some kind of magical power, and the font would disappear immediately after being printed.

The roller above the typewriter did not seem to be controlled by Andre. The fonts fell one by one on the letter paper above. Someone brought him news from afar.

This machine is called the communication typewriter. It is a combination of machinery and magic. It was made by a practical wizard in the Violet Principality. After anchoring with other typewriters, messages can be exchanged through typewriters.

"Da Da Da... Ding!"

After a line was typed, the roller automatically moved to the left to wrap the line. The blank paper was quickly filled. Andre stared at the paper, skillfully removed the letter paper on it, and replaced it with a new one.

After repeating this action several times, the man took off the last piece of letter paper, twisted the knob, and turned off the machine that made a faint noise.

The man did not dare to slack off. He sorted out the letter paper on hand and hurriedly walked up the revolving wooden ladder.

In the room on the second floor.

The body of Chu Ming created by Lu Teng sat on the ground motionless, and the two little goblins were playing in the air with illusory light.

"Hehe, sister, you can't catch me."

"Lu Teng, don't run!"

Lu Teng was flying around the room, sometimes flying to the table, sometimes landing on Chu Ming's head, but the man didn't seem to feel anything about it.

The two played for a while, and finally felt a little bored, so they stopped in front of Chu Ming.

Lu Teng stared at Chu Ming's calm face.

"Why does this guy take so long to report the news? It's so boring."

Lu Hu chuckled and said, "My dear sister, Lord Ryan has been away for a while, and you feel bored?"

"He must have a lot of things to do, and the two of us are responsible for driving away the bad guys."

"But it's still boring."

Lu Teng lay on her back, flapping her wings weakly, as if she had lost power.

"I heard someone is thinking about me."

Chu Ming slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lu Teng floating in the air.

Green Vine was startled by the sudden words, and she flew up quickly.

After realizing that it was Chu Ming who came back, the little fairy put her hands together and said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you so elusive? It's scary."

Green Lake also flew over. She saluted and asked: "What's going on, Lord Ryan?"

Chu Ming chuckled and said: "Everything is under control."

The three were chatting when there was a knock on the door.

"Knock, knock..."

"Lord Ryan, it's me. I have important information to report to you."

Chu Ming was stunned and looked at Green Lake and Green Vine.

The two nodded one after another, turned into a ray of light and merged into Chu Ming's body.

"Come in, Andre."

"Okay, Lord Ryan."

The door was pushed open smoothly, and Andre looked into the room with a stack of letter paper in his hand - only Chu Ming was sitting cross-legged on the floor, as if Chu Ming was practicing before he came in.

"You are so hardworking, sir."

Andre praised in his heart, hurried to Chu Ming, squatted down, and handed over the letter with both hands.

"New information?"

Chu Ming's eyes narrowed. Andre and his friends usually exchanged information at eight or nine in the morning, and the information sent at other times was urgent.

It was still early in the morning, and new information fell into Andre's hands, which meant that this information might be extremely important and urgent.

He lowered his head and flipped through the letter in his hand, listening to Andre's explanation.

The man said: "This information number 156 was sent by the manager of the small black market in Preto in the center of the city."

"According to his description, thirty teams of knights appeared on the streets near the key monitoring location - the Knights' Temple. They hid in the alleys and surrounded the entire Knights' Temple."

"The manager of the small black market in Preto deduced that something must have happened in the Knights' Temple, and the gathering of these knights would not trigger the reaction of the court wizards in the magic circle tower, which is enough to show that the royal family has begun to act."

Chu Ming took a deep breath, "It seems that Pedro has been exposed."

"The fight is likely to begin. You write back to the manager of the small black market in Preto and order him to lead the black market citizens to quickly migrate to the nearest black market. Fierce fighting may break out around the Knights' Temple."

"Legendary battles are no joke. If Pedro goes crazy, the entire kingdom will be reduced to ruins within a few minutes."

Andre With a startled look, he could not imagine such a powerful scene. He saluted and said, "Lord Ryan, I will convey your order now."

Chu Ming nodded slightly and stood up from the floor. "I'll leave the Gordon Black Market to you. I'm going to leave here temporarily and go to the city center to investigate."

"If there is anything wrong, I will rush to the nearest black market to send orders as soon as possible. Remember to let all managers pay attention to the typewriter message."

Andre nodded seriously, "Yes, Lord Ryan."

"Very good."

Under Andre's gaze, Chu Ming's body condensed and shrank, turning into a blue bird, crashing through the window and flying out of the black market.

Andre stared at the green color that symbolized vitality in the dark world, but he quickly came to his senses, packed up his things and hurried downstairs.

The blue bird flew out of the dark passage and returned to the ground. Under the spell of the green vine, the conspicuous blue bird gradually shrank and turned into a seven-spotted ladybug, sticking to the wall and flying into the alley.

The shrunken Chu Ming and the other two sat on the back of the seven-spotted ladybug. The ladybug's elytra spread out, and the flapping sound of the wings made a buzzing sound.

Chu Ming looked up at the sky, his expression thoughtful, "The feeling of being watched seems to have weakened a lot. It seems that the royal family has focused their attention on the Knights Templar."

Lu Teng rubbed his hands and said excitedly, "Finally, the fight has started. The bad guys fight the bad guys. I'm looking forward to it."

Lu Hu coughed lightly and said, "Lu Teng, don't be careless."

Chu Ming pointed his finger at the center of the city and said to Lu Teng, "Lu Teng, fly in this direction. Don't be discovered by the magic circle."

"I'll go back and tell the elders the news so that they can be prepared."

"Hey, wait..."

Before Lu Teng finished speaking, Chu Ming's consciousness returned to his body.

Steen Town, in the secret room of the manor.

Chu Ming opened his eyes in the quiet room. He glanced at Lu Hu, who was closing his eyes and had a calm face next to him, and then pushed open the door and strode to the meeting room.

When he came to the meeting table, only Jerome was present, and the elders had gone to rest.

"Ryan, why are you back again?"

Jerome, who was looking at the map of the royal city, sensed Chu Ming's presence without turning back.

Chu Ming looked urgent and kept it short.

"Pedro's identity seems to have been exposed. The royal family has now surrounded the entire Knights' Temple, and the war is about to break out."

Jerome was stunned and quickly put away the map, "So soon?"

Chu Ming nodded, "Uncle Jerome, go and inform the elders to get ready. I will return to the royal city to investigate the situation first."

"Well, you don't have to worry about the family."

Jerome's voice was much gentler and calmer than before. At this critical moment of life and death for the family, even he had to be serious.

After delivering the message, Chu Ming returned to the quiet room again and slowly closed his eyes.

Inside the royal city.

Chu Ming opened his eyes and saw the seven-star ladybug moving quickly through the dark alley. With the clock tower in the distance as a reference, they seemed to be very close to the Knights' Temple.

"Green Vine, I'm back. Give me the control. You help me guard the area."

"You're back? Good."

Green Vine's surprised voice sounded, she flew back and sat on Chu Ming's shoulder.

Chu Ming once again gained the perception of the seven-star ladybug. After he slightly determined the direction, he rushed to the Knights' Temple.

Halfway through, he met the managers and citizens who evacuated from the small black market of Preto in the alley.

There were many citizens, and the evacuation team looked mighty. There was also a convoy escorting food in the middle of the team.

However, the magic circle tower paid little attention to them. No royal family thought that these people could pose a threat to them. On the contrary, the spontaneous evacuation of the people could save them a lot of effort.

Chu Ming appeared and gave a few instructions to the manager in front, asking him to pay attention to using the typewriter to transmit information.

He did not stay where he was, but turned into a hard-to-see ladybug under the gaze of the crowd and continued to fly towards the Knights' Temple.

Ten minutes later, roars, the sound of weapons clashing, and the angry shouts of knights intertwined and reached Chu Ming's ears.

"Has the fight started?"

Chu Ming was shocked and controlled the ladybug to fly forward slowly and landed on the top of the chimney.

He looked down and saw that at the entrance of the Knights' Temple, the knights and the gray fog monsters were fighting in a mess. The gray fog was disturbing, and only the shouting could be heard clearly, but the fight was not clear.

"I don't know what's going on inside?"

Chu Ming looked at the tall and magnificent building in front of him, and his heart moved. He was about to fly to investigate the situation.

Suddenly, the sky was shining brightly. He looked up and saw that it was not the sun that had risen, but a forbidden spell had descended!

The cross star that shone throughout the city lit up from the top of the magic tower in the distance. As time passed, the light became more and more dazzling, until it occupied Chu Ming's entire perspective.

The white light shone brightly, drowning everything, and no sound was made. The whole world seemed to have lost its sound and turned into a pure world of light.

After more than ten seconds, the light gradually dissipated, and the gray fog in the urban area within a radius of more than ten kilometers had been completely annihilated. The gray fog monster at the entrance of the Knights' Temple had also disappeared in this white light annihilation.

As for the situation of the Knights' Temple deeper inside, Chu Ming could not explore it for the time being.

Recalling the spells released from the magic tower just now, Chu Ming couldn't help but smack his lips and said, "Did they rely on huge magic power to destroy the gray fog power?"

Lu Teng put his hands on his hips unconvinced and said, "My sister and I can do it, and our fairy power is very restraining against gray fog monsters."

"Fairy power restrains gray fog?"

Chu Ming looked back at Lu Hu and Lu Teng.

Lu Hu nodded slightly, "Yes, Lord Ryan, as for why, I don't know."

Chu Ming shook his head and didn't take it to heart. The key point was to deal with the royal family and the evil god's followers. The gray fog roots had no wisdom, so it would be much easier to destroy it.

"We can't see the situation inside from here, let's go over and take a look."

He finally decided to take a risk and explore the situation inside.

After looking at the chimney for a while, Chu Ming rehearsed a hidden route in his mind.

He flew down the chimney, moved along the big tree beside the road, bypassed the group of knights at the door, and moved towards the Knight Temple little by little.

The further he flew inside, the stronger the warning in Chu Ming's heart became. He felt as if he would be discovered at any time.

Helplessly, he could only control the ladybug to lie on the wall of the Knight's Temple, hoping to hear the movement inside.

Unlike the scene of the fierce fighting in the Knight's Temple that Chu Ming imagined, the inside of the temple was extremely quiet, and he could only hear some intermittent conversations.

"Per... Luo, why?"

"James... You are... the son of the general, of course... you don't understand."

"Why... why!"

"My position and yours... are different."

"Damn it!"

The quarrel inside became more and more intense, and it could be heard that this was a conversation between Pedro and James.

Suddenly, Chu Ming had an ominous premonition in his heart. He felt something was wrong. Without any hesitation, he controlled the seven-spotted ladybug to fly quickly away from the Knight's Temple.

A few seconds later.

"Boom!"

A heart-shaking rumble sounded behind Chu Ming, and a powerful shock wave spread outward, directly tearing the wings of the ladybug and knocking it over and flying far away.

Green vine said nervously: "Hold steady."

A faint light burst out from the seven-spotted ladybug, and it was nailed directly in the air.

Without time to think, Chu Ming hurriedly turned back to look at the Knights' Temple.

I saw huge stone pillars flying into the sky and smashing into the distance.

Where the stones fell, both shops and houses turned into ruins.

And at the original site of the Knights' Temple, the tall temple had long disappeared, leaving only a ruin, and two figures with huge power stood in the middle.

"Pedro, the fate of betraying the kingdom is only death!"

James roared, and his deep voice resounded around the temple.

The man waved his fist and hit Pedro directly.

"Bang!"

In the ruins, Pedro flew backwards, turning into a straight line that smashed all the surrounding buildings into pieces, leaving a pit more than two thousand meters long.

"Die!"

James stomped his feet, and the whole person shot into the pit like a cannonball.

"Bang!"

The street sank directly down more than ten meters, and the land broke layer by layer. Whether it was soil or boulders in the strata, they were all crushed into powder by the majestic force and exploded into the sky. In the center of the battle, a deep pit with a diameter of hundreds of meters appeared instantly.

"Hahaha, James, are you tickling me?"

Pedro's laughter sounded from the smoke. Before Chu Ming could react, he heard a dull loud noise. James flew backwards from the pit, like a meteor, cutting through the city and smashing directly into the east city wall.

"Boom!"

The wall exploded instantly, and a gap of several dozen meters appeared.

Chu Ming's mind was shocked, and he felt that the opportunity had come.
