Susanna looked at Lumian, who was wrapped in red flames and running towards her, and frantically drew energy from the vendors, pedestrians and tenants hanging on the trees, trying to recover her fighting ability as soon as possible.
During this process, she was not worried that Lumian would actually hurt her, because she was at the top of the tree canopy and the other party could not climb up at all. Moreover, she was now one with the "Shadow Tree". Attacks without divinity could only cause her minor injuries at most, but could not kill her, or even cause her serious damage.
Lumian ran wildly to an area occupied by branches and vines, where one or two hundred humans were hanging.
Those brown-green things tried to entangle him and pierce him, but they were all ignited by the red flames on his body and retreated in a hurry.
At this moment, there was a rumbling sound from the ground, and the giant brown-green tree suddenly sank down, and in an instant it was only seven or eight meters high.
This caused the entire wilderness to shake violently, and Lumian staggered from side to side, unable to move forward for a while.
The rumbling, earthquake-like noise caused the crystal chandelier in the banquet hall to shake slightly. Most of the people present showed expressions of fear, and those who reacted quickly even hid under the long table covered with a white tablecloth.
The team on duty today to protect Hugues Artois is composed of the half-blood Imre, Valentine, and a "warrior" Beyonder named Antoine.
They noticed something was wrong at the same time and tacitly separated Yinmlei, allowing him to run to the window and look at the source of the problem.
Yinmlei saw that in the direction of Luan Street, Nightingale Street, and White Coat Street, many houses were tilted to a certain extent, but had not yet collapsed. There were more or less brown and green branches and vines remaining on their surfaces.
Compared to them, the giant brown-green tree located probably at the chaotic street is more eye-catching. It has many tumors and flowers on it and is continuing to sink.
This scene lasted only a few seconds before returning to "normal," like a failed oil painting being covered by another work.
"What happened?" Hugues Artois walked to the window and asked calmly.
Yinmlei did not hide anything, but lowered his voice slightly and answered frankly: "There were unusual incidents in the area of Luan Street, Nightingale Street and White Coat Street."
Chaotic Street, Nightingale Street, White Jacket Street… Janna, who had just leaned against a nearby window and had not seen the scene just now, was stunned when she heard it.
Two names immediately popped up in her mind: Charles and Franka...
Did they encounter an unusual incident? Janna's heart sank slowly, and she instinctively turned her eyes to Hugues Artois.
She saw the corners of the congressman's mouth curl up secretly, and he seemed to be having a hard time hiding his inner joy.
It was him... It was him and those evil god believers who did it! Janna made a judgment instantly, her eyes went dark, and an uncontrollable despair surged in her heart.
Faced with the well-prepared attack from the evil god's followers and such anomalies, can Franka and Charles survive
With my current strength, can I rush over to help? Will I be a burden to them
At this moment, Jana felt that after losing her mother, the "pillars" that supported her life were about to be lost, and now she was about to lose two friends who stood firmly by her side.
And this is all caused by the followers of the evil god, it was caused by Hugues Artois!
This reminded her of what Franca had said to her after she took the magic potion and became an "assassin". She was warned not to contact the evil god: "Contact with the evil god will inevitably bring disaster." Such a person will not only become crazy and lose his original personality, but will also drag the people around him, whether they know him or not, into the darkness together.
"If we don't eliminate those people, the influence of the evil god will continue to exist, and the pain will come again and again, and it will never end."
And now Hugues Artois was the cause of all the troubles in the market district.
Janna lowered her head, not daring to look at Hugues Artois again, fearing that the pain and hatred that could not be concealed in her eyes would be noticed.
She hates it so much!
But she could only tell herself that her brother Julian was still alive, but he had some mental problems and there was hope that he could be cured.
In this situation, if he loses his sister again, he will probably go crazy and there will be no way to save him.
After this banquet is over and those factory owners have "given" compensation and paid off all the debts, I will take Julian away from the market area and the botanical garden area and live somewhere else to avoid the pain that will come in the future... Janna kept using these words to comfort herself and prevent her inner emotions from exploding.
"Why is there another unusual incident?" Hugues Artois questioned Imre, Valentine and Antoine.
Yinmre smiled bitterly and said, "I just saw that tree. It has appeared several times in Trier's history, but it has never been completely solved."
Ever since he joined Trier's "Purifier" team, he knew that there were many dangers hidden underground in Trier that were difficult to purify, and the giant brown-green tree was one of them.
He, his superiors, and his teammates couldn't understand why Trier was built on those things in the first place.
It is not equal to grid. Artois questioned again, and Yinmlei added: "Since the anomaly has been discovered, it will be quelled in no time."
As a member of the elite "Purifier" team, he knew that Trier was different from the capitals of other countries. Because of the long-term existence of dangers underground, the royal family in the past and the parliamentary government now agreed that the two major churches should secretly send an angel or place a "0" level seal to Trier to prevent accidents.
Of course, during periods when the royal family and the government were very strong, the angels of the church would avoid them, such as during the reign of Emperor Roselle.
Once the abnormality brought by the strange giant tree is exposed, it will soon be hit by a thundering blow. Although it cannot be completely destroyed, it can at least keep it quiet for a long time.
After the short and violent "Shadow Tree" subsided, the wilderness became stable again. Gabriel, Pavard, Nissen and others were still hanging on the branches, and their faces began to turn pale and black, as if they were overly exhausted.
Lumian steadied his body and continued running towards the giant brown-green tree that was not far away with the red flames.
At this time, Susanna Mathis had recovered a lot, and Lumian's figure was reflected in her eyes. She waited for him to enter the range of her current ability and then launched an attack.
Behind Lumian, a shadow broke away from its original owner and quietly pounced on his vest.
That's Charlotte Calvino, she's "playing" a shadow!
She was not the host of the ceremony and was far away from the tree canopy. She had not suffered backlash and strong pollution before, and was not much weakened. When she saw Lumian turning around, she immediately hid, using her acting skills and waiting for a sneak attack.
At this moment, a gunshot was heard in the distance.
The iron-black bullet was too far away and not accurate enough, so it flew past Charlotte's body, but it also stopped her attempt.
Wearing a women's shirt, light-colored breeches, and red boots, and holding a brass revolver, Franca appeared at the edge of the wilderness, cursing and shouting at Lumian's back, "Damn it, don't you consider me a teammate?"
Seeing that the scene in the street had returned to "normal", Hugh Artois returned to the center of the banquet hall with a glass of light golden champagne, stood in front of everyone, and gave a speech according to the procedure: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am very glad that you can come to this condolence luncheon. Please let us observe a minute of silence for those who unfortunately passed away..." As you have seen just now, an accident happened in the market area again. We can't let this go on. We must re-establish a more effective and flexible mechanism to deal with similar situations.
"I think you are all filled with hatred and fear about the accident, because your loved ones may have died in the accident, or may have been seriously injured, or may have suffered a mental breakdown and turned into a lunatic..."
Hearing this, Janna suddenly raised her head and looked at Huguettuwa again.
He just said, "He suffered a mental breakdown and turned into a madman"!
Under normal circumstances, even if you list the circumstances, you shouldn't go into such detail. Simply saying that he is mentally ill is enough.
Therefore, Hugues Artois knew that some people would suffer mental breakdowns due to chemical plant explosions, become crazy, and then be afraid of others.
Did he mention it in his speech? Was it like a criminal who likes to return to the scene to admire his masterpiece? Janna's heart was instantly filled with absurdity, hatred, and fear.
If her guess is true, Julian's mental breakdown is likely influenced by the evil god's followers!
"Can he be cured or saved
"If the source can't be cut off, even if I take the cured Julian away from the market area, there may still be hidden dangers and problems later!" Janna has never been as desperate as she is now. It seems that no matter which way she goes, she can't escape the darkness.
Her pupil gradually enlarged and the figure of Hugues Artois was clearly reflected.
After hearing Hugues Artois implicitly pointing the finger at the two major churches, Imre, Valentine and Antoine all looked gloomy and slightly lowered their eyes.
The other dimension that came with the "Shadow Tree" was already broken everywhere, with dark slime flowing in it or a piece missing, as if it had been thrown into an endless void.
Suddenly, a light appeared at the Starlight Gate, which had shrunk back to a crack.
It became brighter and brighter, as if it had turned into the sun, illuminating every corner of the space with exceptional clarity, without any shadows.
A female figure wearing a white robe inlaid with gold thread appeared at the source of the light. She seemed to be made purely of light and was translucent. She had green eyes, flying golden hair, and a beautiful but holy appearance.
Saint Vieve, patron saint of Trier.
Amid the noise of the hall, Hugues Artois, who had just finished his speech, continued to hold the glass of champagne and walked among the families of the victims, warm, friendly and trustworthy.
Janna closed her eyes, walked slowly to the long table covered with a white tablecloth, picked up a plate, put some food on it, and then took a longer silver fork to use.
As she ate, she approached Hugues Artois slowly and somewhat absentmindedly.
After closing the distance between them to two meters, she made a gesture as if she wanted to have a chat with the congressman.
Hugh Artois, who was surrounded by team members and protected by official Beyonders, also noticed Janna, smiled kindly, and waited for her to come to him.
Jeanne passed by the secretary, Rhone, and stood one step away from Hugues Artois.
Before the two began their conversation, another tremor and roar came from underground, and the direction of Luan Street and White Coat Street seemed to be a lot brighter.
Cassandra, Hugh Artois and others who were concerned about the outcome followed their instinct and simultaneously turned their bodies to look out the window.
Seeing this, Janna closed her eyes again, then she took a step forward and raised the silver fork in her hand towards Yug Artois!
The emotions that had been pent up in her heart for some time suddenly burst out: You are a despicable politician who has brought disaster and darkness to the market area!
You are a believer in the evil god whose conscience has been eaten by dogs!
You bastard who killed my mother and drove my brother crazy!
Die now!
If you don't die, the suffering in the market area will never end, and darkness will always cover this place, preventing the sun from rising.
Yes, you are surrounded by followers of the evil god and protected by official extraordinary beings. Anyone who tries to deal with you can lose his life here, thus shocking them and making them dare not launch an attack.
[Given the general environment,
But what if there’s an assassin who never thought about leaving alive!
Even if I can't kill you, I will make your people expose the evil god's gift and be captured by the official extraordinary people!
Janna poured all the hatred, resentment and pain in her heart into the long-handled silver fork in her hand, and used the assassin's "full force attack" to stab Hugues. Atuwain turned his body to the side, exposing his right eye.
At this moment, she saw the surprise, confusion and fear on the other's face, and saw Hugh Artois looking at Cassandra in a hurry, trying to seek help.
Cassandra was blocked by the "Purifier" Yinmlei who took a step sideways at some point.
Sight failed to immediately notice what was happening.
With a "puff", the long-handled silver fork in Janna's right hand penetrated deeply into Hugh Artois' eye socket and directly into his brain.
Hugues Artois's expression was dull, the previous surprise, bewilderment and fear were still frozen on his face, without much time to change, only a strong sense of despair.
Janna watched the bright red blood splashing out, and watched Hugh Artois's face gradually collapse in the light, and watched the red sparks around him that he didn't know whether they were from the muzzle of a gun or from supernatural powers, and smiled, closed his eyes, and gave up resistance.
Mom, I see the light.
