Scepter of Truth

Chapter 3: riot

Views:

In just one day, too many unbelievable things happened, which made Victor (Weike) lying on the simple wooden bed tossing over and over, unable to fall asleep. As a human for two generations, he experienced the warmth of home for the first time in the homes of Uncle Leo and Aunt Maria, which gave birth to the belief in guarding in his heart.

Because Victor, who is familiar with the game process, knows that the current peaceful life is very fragile, and it will not take long for all of this to be broken by natural and man-made disasters! In troubled times, only strong power is the guarantee of standing still.

At this moment, Victor's desire to become a mage and a strong man has never been stronger than ever!

In this way, Victor plunged into his dreamland with these intricate thoughts.

"Squeak... Squeak..."

In the middle of the night, Victor, who was sleeping in a daze, was awakened by bursts of shrill sounds.

"What? Is it a mouse?"

Victor, who is accustomed to modern life, encountered such a situation for the first time.

Victor, who was drowsy, didn't want to pay attention, but the increasingly harsh voice made his dizzy mind gradually become irritable.

"Damn it! Can someone sleep..."

Victor sat up straight, sleepless, and uttered a few swear words in a low voice.

"Squeak... Squeak... Step, smash... Step, smash..."

Pricked his ears and listened carefully, Victor wanted to take care of the few mice that disturbed his sleep, but in the quiet late night, he heard some other sounds.

"Tap, slam... slam, slam..."

"Something's wrong!"

The vigilant Victor immediately distinguished from several different sounds. In the alley outside the door, there were messy footsteps, and... the sound of weapons and armor colliding! !

Victor came to the door lightly and looked out through the small crack in the door. Through the faint starlight, he vaguely saw many heavily armed soldiers, who were lining up marching through this alley in an orderly manner.

"Who are these soldiers? Where are they going?" Victor, holding his breath, drew a big question mark in his heart.

Recalling the roads connected by the alleys, Victor found that the marching route of this group of soldiers happened to go from the port area to the noble area.

At this moment, Victor immediately recalled the secret he had discovered when he was carrying goods in the port area during the day-smuggling weapons.

"Oh! How did I remember such an important thing!!"

Since the game "Scepter of Truth" has a time span of up to fifteen years, Victor, whose information storage module has lost part of its data, cannot fully remember the events that occurred in the early stages of the game.

Pulling the hair on the back of his head in annoyance, Victor quickly recalled the beginning and the end of the incident: "The Year of Shadow, the Moon of Flowing Fire, there was a brief riot in Carter City! And it was this turmoil, That’s why the prologue of the first expansion film "Northern War"-"The Burning Carter City" was completely brought out."

"Although this riot was quickly suppressed by the city owner's army, it has brought irreparable disasters to civilian areas..."

At this moment, even if Victor regretted it, it was of no avail. He only hoped that the time of the riot could be delayed a little bit, so that he could make some preparations.

Victor quickly searched the dilapidated house several times, only to find a half-person high wooden stick.

"It's terrible!" Victor comforted himself with a wooden stick: "At least it's better than unarmed..."

After leaning on the door and watching for a long time, Victor patiently waited for the soldiers to leave the alley.

"Finally there is no one! I have to tell Uncle Leo to see if there is any better way to avoid this disaster!"

After confirming his safety, Victor quickly ran to the door of Leo's family on the other side of the alley and knocked on the door gently.

"Who is it?" Uncle Leo's vigilant voice immediately rang.

"Uncle Leo, it's me! Victor!"

Victor lowered his voice, for fear of an accident.

With a creak, the door opened slightly. Leo, holding an iron sword, carefully scanned the surrounding environment.

"come on in!"

Victor leaned forward and entered the room through the crack of the door, leaning on his side.

"Little Vic, why are you here? Don't you know how reckless your behavior is? What if there are two shortcomings?"

Regardless of Uncle Leo's questioning, Victor hurriedly talked about what he had discovered during the day and his own guesses.

"Are you sure?"

Uncle Leo's expression became serious: "Generally speaking, most of the battles in the city will not affect ordinary people! This is a potential rule of all forces..."

"But this time is different!!"

Victor said with a certain face: "Let's plan for the worst!"

Uncle Leo changed his usual gentle attitude, staring at Victor firmly, exuding an inexplicable power.

"Okay! Uncle will listen to your suggestions this time..."

With that, Uncle Leo turned back and walked into the back room.

After not playing Kung Fu, Uncle Leo walked out of the house with Aunt Maria, who looked a little nervous, and hugged Penny in a daze.

The distraught Victor didn't notice that the expressions of Leo and Maria were just nervous, not fearful or scared.

"Let's go! There is an underpass on the right side of the alley, which I found when I was working for people... It should be a safer place to come there."

As Uncle Leo said, he took a few people and left the residence lightly.

As there was no one in the middle of the night, Victor and the others came to a low broken wall very smoothly. This is the entrance to the dark passage that Leo said.

Just when they were about to enter, the screams of killing, the clashing of weapons, and the screams of people before death broke out all at once.

After hearing the tragic sound of fighting, Uncle Leo's face that had always been calm was also taken aback.

"Perhaps... your suggestion is right!"

Leo murmured in a low voice, and then said, "Little Vic, uncle has one very important thing to do. Can you take care of Maria and Penny for me?"

Victor froze for a moment, but he did not ask Uncle Leo what he was going to do with curiosity. Instead, he nodded firmly: "Uncle, don't worry! As long as I have a breath, Auntie and Nini will never agree Any questions!!"

After hearing Victor's assurance, Uncle Leo smiled and rubbed his hair, cast a meaningful look at Aunt Maria, then turned and left here.

By this time, even though Victor's brain was sluggish, he knew that Uncle Leo was not as simple as it seemed.

"Little Vic, let's hurry up and enter the secret tunnel..."

Under the urging of Aunt Maria's low voice, Victor and several people entered the secret tunnel one after another.
