Chapter 1145: Trapped Old King's Words
Chapter 1145: Trapped Old King's Words
The entire blockade hall is arranged according to the internal structure of a living organism. Although the halls are connected to each other, each connection has a powerful blockade ritual.
However, the blockade now is no longer a whole and can be said to be disconnected from each other. Calliopatus, the emperor of the old era, walked all the way out. At this time, he only needed to rely on his remaining strength to easily break through.
But actually he did not do so. Instead, every time he walked to the front of a ritual, he would observe carefully and try to pass through the gaps between its operations. Due to the existence of the resonance effect, it was not too difficult to do this after knowing the basic layout of the ritual. Along the way, he did not disturb much ritual power.
He walked along the Walker's Corridor, which was made from the esophagus of the Slo monster. In dangerous situations, it would secrete mucus to block the exit. However, when he walked over, an unfathomable smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, and a strange sound came out of his mouth. The biological tissue, which had been startled by him and began to throb, was calmed down in an instant and returned to its previous dormant state.
He walked through here with graceful steps and came to the Amber Room at the front. As long as he walked out of here, he could leave the blockade hall, and then all he had to face was the external ceremony.
But he did not rush out, but glanced into the hall with interest.
There are many tourists who come here at night. The Blockade Hall is not only an exhibition venue, but also the most convenient place to discuss business and various political issues privately, and even to meet lovers. Because there is no place safer than this.
As a result, there were more than fifty people trapped here that night, and three-fifths of them were not native to Victoria.
Due to the changes in the ritual, the management of Viagra was afraid that the imprisoned individuals would escape, so they had to immediately take measures to close the venue without notifying the people inside.
This move was very decisive, and it was also normal at the moment, because half an hour was not enough to find all the people scattered throughout the venue. It would be too late to say anything at that time, so it would be better to block them first and then find a way to deal with them later.
Although these tourists were a little uneasy, they were not too panicked because they were told when they arrived that the Blockade Hall would occasionally carry out some drill blockade plans to ensure its safety, which would usually last for several hours. This itself was part of the Blockade Hall tour. Now that they suddenly encountered this situation, they actually had a different sense of excitement.
Another thing is that they are all people of status. If they were trapped one or two of them, they might worry that Via Asia Central City would not abide by the rules, but with so many people together, they were confident that Via Asia would never dare to do anything to them.
Calliopaus came out at this time, and he waved his hand in a very soothing and graceful posture. The alienated tissue in his hand spread out and formed a harmonica shaped like bone. He did not cover himself, but walked aside and sat down.
His appearance quickly attracted everyone's attention, and everyone's eyes fell on him involuntarily, attracted by his unique temperament.
They felt that this person shouldn't be here, but the solemn atmosphere around him was extremely suitable.
Calliopatus picked up the harmonica and played a tune without paying attention to the people around him. The melodious music was joyful and cheerful, yet also had a hint of depth, which perfectly matched the mood of the people present, soothing without being too detached or depressing.
Especially at this moment, it can give them a little happy comfort in the uneasy atmosphere.
In order to maintain their composure, everyone present seemed to be unconcerned about the predicament, but it would be a lie to say that they were not anxious. After listening to what was said, their mood was actually relieved for a moment, and they all applauded.
A middle-aged man with a big belly came out. He seemed to be talking to an actor in front of a stage play. He said, "I have never heard such good music in the theater of Disegordo. Well, this is the most beautiful music I have ever heard. Sir, may I ask your name?"
Calliopatus stroked the harmonica gently and gave an elegant smile, "Kappa, just call me Kappa."
His soft and deep voice caused several ladies to gasp softly, but he kept smiling and said, "By the way, Disegodo is full of second-rate actors. Sir, you have gone to the wrong place. You should go to the Mosava Royal Opera and Dance Troupe. Perhaps that will help improve your artistic taste a little bit."
The middle-aged man suddenly felt embarrassed.
Someone asked with interest: "Is the Mosava Royal Opera and Dance Troupe first-rate?"
Capa said, "Still second-rate, but a little better." His eyes swept over the middle-aged man.
“We can’t expect that some people who are keen on chewing coarse bread mixed with sawdust one second can immediately appreciate the royal banquet the next second.”
The people around him couldn't help but laugh, and the middle-aged man's expression became even worse.
"So sir, in your opinion, which ones are first-rate?" someone in the crowd asked curiously.
Capa said, "Then we should look for it in the Palace of Tyat or Anshant."
One of these places is the capital of the Ayön Strait Union, and the other is the political center of the Paranian faith region.
Someone asked in confusion: "Are you saying those politicians maintain a singing and dancing troupe?"
Capa said, "No, I mean they are excellent actors themselves." The man said seriously, "Oh, sir, I admit that they are professionally trained, but their singing voices and personal artistic accomplishments are far from those of the musicians and singers on the stage."
Capa said, "Yes, so the Teatro Desigotto was never an opera house, it was just a place for stage plays."
Hearing this, many people felt embarrassed, but some people smiled knowingly.
"Kappa?"
A man who looked like a traditional Yono nobleman came out and bowed slightly to him in a standard courtesy. He said, "I am Larol Ake Tolai from Fuledor. Nice to meet you."
"Ak Tolai, are you the descendant of the blacksmith Ak?"
Tolai was a little surprised and said, "Do you know my ancestor?" He raised his head and said with pride, "Yes, my ancestor was indeed just a blacksmith, but he once served under His Majesty Raigar III and was granted the fiefdom of Acre for his military merits. Even in the new era, we still retain this land."
"Yes, it's worth being proud of." Capa nodded. "Although the blacksmith from Acre is a bastard, his mother is Victoria from Averin. She later married King Lothric I of Albion, so he and the later King of Verorn are brothers."
"Really?" Tolai himself didn't know the news. He felt a little skeptical, but also a little surprised.
"Yes," Capa said with a nostalgic look, "that beautiful lady... was very charming, and some mistakes made by her were forgivable."
Speaking of this, everyone became interested and came forward to talk to the man named "Kappa".
They soon discovered that this man was knowledgeable, and his voice was powerful, rhythmic, and logical, yet very contagious. Just listening to him speak was an enjoyment, as if they were gaining knowledge and absorbing nourishment. They couldn't help but want to get close to him and contact him, or even... follow him.
In particular, they discovered that this person was well-informed about the court events of many years ago, especially the habits and private lives of some legendary and noble figures. They loved listening to him and felt that their knowledge reserves had increased here.
Gradually, everyone gathered around him, clapping non-stop, and forgetting about being trapped here. However, at this time, no one noticed that when the harmonica sounded at the beginning, an invisible ripple was transmitted from the side and kept shaking the Amber Room.
Although the instrument stopped playing later, the sound continued to resonate and echo here as Kappa spoke and guided, and fine cracks slowly began to appear on the amber wall.
Those strange alien creatures inside seemed to be disturbed by something, and their limbs began to move slowly.
In the Baiyan Long Hall, the management received more and more frequent warnings from the secret team in the blockade hall.
Since Allura's backup consciousness has not yet been fully covered, she is unable to detect where the problem has occurred inside the blockade hall, and there is no way to actively adjust the ceremony. The only thing she can do now is to wait.
No one blamed Ryan. If problems really occurred later, he would be the main person responsible. There was no need to provoke him. Moreover, the plan he proposed was actually very timely. If they did not hold a voting meeting and made the decision earlier, they would have been able to intervene and deal with it now.
Besides, no one could have predicted the changes in front of them. After all, the gathering of the three stars only happens once every three hundred years. Three hundred years ago, this place was still the territory of the primitive people, and even the entire city had not been built yet. They had no idea what the possible impact might be.
The only detailed simulation data was provided by Allura. Although Allura did not falsify the data, she provided data that was far from the degree of fit.
She just took the lowest value within the allowed range, which caused the management to underestimate the degree of danger. What can be done now is to let the secret ritual experts maintain the outer rituals as much as possible and deal with it after the consciousness body is covered.
Ryan was very calm at this moment, because he knew that even if there was a problem with the ceremony in the hall, it would not collapse so quickly. Besides, there was another layer of ceremony to block the outside of the hall.
He glanced at his watch. It only took five minutes for Allura to fully recover. Everything would be corrected soon.
