The most shameless alchemist in history - Chapter 926
Chapter 926 Thunder Country Tower
Although Du Lei did not successfully remove the seal slabs from the Wang Family Cemetery this time in the Land of Flames, it was not without gain.
The first gain was that he realized that he was not only staring at the seal slab, but also a group of people had the idea of marking the slate.
This connected him to the attack on Lance’s grandfather before, and the incident in the Kingdom of Rain, all with signs of stone slabs.
And Du Lei remembered what Lance told him that there was an organization called Purgatory, fighting for the slate.
Whether this purgatory is related to the purgatory at the Sealed Gate of the Wang Family Graveyard, Du Lei is not yet clear about this.
But one thing he can be sure of is that the person who snatched the sealed slab from the Wang Family Cemetery must be a member of Purgatory.
Zi Yan suggested that the person must have something to do with her family, but she is still not clear about those ancient things in the family. She plans to go back to the family and ask the old man in the family about the boy. When there is news, I will write to Du Lei.
Another gain for Du Lei was that he made friends with Hilbert in the incident at the Wang Family Cemetery and returned to the Land of Thunder with him.
After Hilbert experienced this danger, he also noticed that the seemingly stable Thunder Country was also full of waves.
After all, since someone had started the idea of hitting the slate, after the sealing slate of the country of flames, the next target must be the country of thunder.
Because the two countries are the closest to each other, there is no reason to detour around after capturing the stone slabs of the country of flames and then go to the country of thunder?
Du Lei and Hilbert rushed back to the capital of Thunder Country, Flash City in the shortest possible time.
“Mr. Du Lei, don’t worry. Our Lei Nation has always attached great importance to slates. Unlike in the Land of Flames, they put the slabs in the cemetery of the king’s family and thought it would be safe and unsafe, and the cemetery of the king’s family is still located in the scorching valley. Where, the stone slab of our Thunder Country is in the royal capital.”
After the train arrived, Hilbert led the way while introducing the whereabouts of the stone slab in Thunder Country to Du Lei.
“I heard that the seal slab of Thunder Country is enshrined on the Thunder Tower.” Du Lei looked far above the city.
One tall tower is particularly eye-catching, because at the current level of construction, it is not easy for a building to be built to ten stories.
However, that tall tower has a height of nearly twenty stories, that is to say, it is nearly double the height of the nearby building!
The most important thing is that this tall tower is not built at a modern architectural level, it is an ancient building.
This is enough to make people feel jaw-dropping. The architects have gathered in one place more than once to study how the ancients built such a high tower, and it has stood for hundreds of years without falling down. There is another thing that makes people feel incredible.
That is, the Kingdom of Thunder was originally a country with thunderstorms, especially the shining city as the capital.
The reason why Flash City got its name is that there are too many thunderstorms. Almost half of every night, there is lightning piercing the sky and thunderstorms. Local residents have long been used to this and don’t think. However, outsiders often can’t get a good night’s sleep.
As the tallest building in the kingdom of thunder, the Thunder Tower is the most loved by lightning, and it is less likely to be struck by lightning hundreds of times every year!
Under normal circumstances, an ordinary house will catch fire once lightning strikes, but the thunder tower will always stand tall.
“Mr. Du Lei, you are right. This thunder tower is a symbol of the spirit of our country of thunder. No matter how thunderstorms strike us, the people of our country of thunder have never succumbed, and it is the same today.” Albert said proudly.
The time now is four o’clock in the afternoon. If this is in the territory of the Kingdom of Flame, it must be still hot and the sky is clear.
But in Flash City, the sky was already very bleak at this time, thunder bursts in the sky, and lightning tore the sky from time to time.
Du Lei clearly saw the ferocious and huge lightning strike above the thunder tower, and the dull sound blew directly in his ears.
“But Hilbert…” Du Lei hesitated.
“What’s the matter?”
“It is safe to put the seal slab on the Thunder Tower, but even I know this, and the people in Purgatory know it.”
Du Lei believes that the Thunder Country must display heavy troops to protect the Thunder Tower.
But he had seen the methods of purgatory, and he was still a little worried about it.
“Hahahaha, Mr. Du Lei, I know you are cautious, but our country of thunder is strong, and we never fear those despicable people. Hundreds of years ago, our country of thunder experienced changes and was even attacked by enemy countries in history. Enter the royal capital, but the Thunder Tower is the last fortress of our Thunder Country. As long as the Thunder Tower is there, our Thunder Country will not fall. It has guided us to overcome countless sufferings…”
Hilbert was very proud of blasting the tower, and when he was complacent, suddenly there was a thunder explosion.
At first he only treated it as peaceful thunder, which made no difference.
But soon he realized something was wrong.
“Oh my god, look over there, what’s going on, why is the thunder tower… the thunder tower… is collapsing?”
There was an exclamation from someone nearby, which made Hilbert stunned, and he immediately turned his head to look over.
In his sight, he clearly saw thick smoke rising from the top of the Thunder Tower.
A large number of lightning entangled on the thunder tower, and rocks began to burst and fall downward!
“What, how come? It has been standing for hundreds of years, and the thunder tower is safe and sound… How could it happen?”
Hilbert never expected such a scene to happen.
“It seems that they have already begun to act, General Thunder, please protect Your Highness Hilbert, I must rush over immediately!”
Du Lei’s concerns were confirmed.
Because of the person who was able to manipulate the purple flames that I met in the Wang’s cemetery before.
The strength he showed was far above thunder.
This made him realize that the power of purgatory was far beyond his imagination.
The reason why the Thunder Tower has not fallen for hundreds of years is because there has never been a real danger.
And today, the thunder that fell from the sky and directly split the thunder tower into cracks was the real danger!
Realizing this, Du Lei ran wildly and rushed towards the Thunder Tower.
Because he knows that the other party is just doing it right now, not necessarily succeeding.
As long as he is fast enough and arrives in time, he might be able to save it!
“Mr. Du Lei!” Hilbert didn’t recover for a while, he was confident that there would be no accident.
But who knew that he had just encountered this kind of thing when he returned to the royal capital!
At this time, Du Lei had already gone far, he quickly left the train station and ran towards the Thunder Tower.
His speed is very fast. At this time, many residents have poured out on the street.
They all looked at the Thunder Tower with billowing smoke in shock.
“What’s going on, Thunder Tower, why did it happen like this? I have never heard of Thunder Tower collapsed.”
“Our Thunder Country is the strongest country. What kind of dangers have not been encountered? It is precisely because of the thunder tower that we can stand upright.”
“Now that the Thunder Tower is beginning to burst, is our country of thunder cursed? Hey, what happened to that gust of wind, has anyone passed by?”
“You must be mistaken, there are some people, but… this kind of uneasy feeling, our Thunder Country seems to have something big.”
People looked at the Thunder Tower in the distance, all worried.
At the same time, inside the Thunder Tower, a large number of guards rushed over, and they blocked the way forward.
A middle-aged officer was holding a gunpowder gun, and the guards behind him all raised their muzzles and aimed at the person walking in front of him.
“Stop! Who are you that dare to break into the Thunder Tower? This is the forbidden area of our Thunder Country. It is forbidden to make any further steps!”
The officer sternly scolded, and someone slowly approached him in his line of sight.
He could only see a shadow from a distance, and it was difficult to see it clearly. He didn’t see clearly until this person was approaching.
What came by was a woman, a very enchanting woman who was probably in her thirties.
She had short hair and was wearing a long red dress, which was dragged on the floor.
“Oh, oh, it’s a very rude behavior to stop a lady from going forward like this.” Her smile was charming.
“You, who are you? How did you come here? Shouldn’t someone stop you in front?” The officer frowned.
He originally thought it was a wicked person who broke into the Thunder Tower, but he didn’t expect it to be a woman.
This made him feel a little strange, but there was more than one weird thing that happened today.
Especially when the entire Thunder Tower was struck by lightning just now, it was not the first time he was on duty in Thunder Tower.
Thunder Tower would let Thunder strike ten times eight times a day, but he didn’t move, nothing happened.
But today is different. Today’s Thunder Tower unexpectedly began to shake violently under the violent slash of lightning.
Even the rocks on the top floor burst open and fell down. This is something that has never happened in so many years!
This is an ominous omen in the eyes of the old people, and it is the best proof that God will no longer bless the kingdom of thunder!
“Are you asking me who I am? Oh, alas, I am of course a lost person. As for the people who blocked me in front, they also asked the same question, but they are now…” She stretched out slowly When she released her hand, there was lightning entangled between her slender hands.
The red lightning made a “cracking” sound, and this scene looked particularly strange.
“Red, red lightning? Have you seen it? That’s red lightning!”
The young guard nearby suddenly became a little apprehensive, and involuntarily took a step back.
“Look, I saw it, it is indeed a red lightning, you have also heard of that legend, right?”
“I heard, my grandpa told me since I was a child that when red lightning appears, cracks will appear in the sky, the earth will tear, and our kingdom of thunder will be destroyed…” Young soldiers Trembling, fell into panic.
“Shut up! Those are illusory rumors, how can you believe them? Shut up all!”
The officer yelled at the group of guards behind him, even if he had heard the rumor.
But he knew that, as the commander here, he could never waver in his heart.
“It’s true.” Suddenly there was a voice.
“What?” The officer looked over in surprise, and found that it was the woman who was talking.
“That rumor is true. The red lightning is the lightning of destruction and death. Its appearance will cost the Kingdom of Thunder a corresponding price.”
She stopped when she was a short distance from the officer, and said slowly.
“What’s the price? What are you talking nonsense? I warn you, immediately exit the Thunder Tower, and cooperate with our investigation, otherwise, I will shoot you here!” The officer sternly reprimanded.
He knew that blasting the thunder tower was of great importance and would never allow even the slightest omission.
“Then you give it a try.” She said with a smile.
“What?” The officer was stunned. He really didn’t understand. There was a mysteriousness and weirdness in this woman.
“Try if you can kill me.” She smiled unabated.
“Are you crazy? Where did the crazy woman come from?” The officer suddenly found cold sweat on his forehead.
“Are you crazy… If you don’t try, then I will try.” She licked her scarlet lips.
“What are you trying?” The officer took a step back subconsciously.
He is under a lot of pressure!
“Try to see if your body can withstand the red lightning.” She took another step forward.
This is an extremely dangerous signal, the officer did not dare to hesitate anymore, he immediately fired at her!
“boom!”
While he fired, the guards behind him also fired at the same time.
When dozens of gunpowder guns are shot out at the same time, ordinary people will be beaten into a sieve in an instant!
But those who can come here alone are not ordinary people after all.
At least she is definitely not.
So in the sight of the officer, he found an extremely strange thing.
All the bullets stopped in the air, and there was no way to go any further.
“What’s going on? Why is she not injured?” The guards looked at each other, they had never encountered such a situation.
“Now it’s my turn.” She continued forward.
“Don’t be afraid, everyone opened fire and killed this woman!” the officer yelled.
He continued to fill the bullets and fired at the woman. He knew that it was his duty to guard this place, and he would never take a step back!
“Boom!” The continuous gunfire sounded one after another.
Under the jet of the gunpowder gun, thick smoke appeared in front.
“Have you succeeded?” The guards believed that even a strong bison would be killed under their intensive shooting.
But this time.
“What’s that?” A guard pointed to the smoky place.
“Chi Chi Chi Chi.”
The red lightning flashes constantly. In the diffuse smoke, there is a shocking feeling!
“It always feels bad…” A guard swallowed.
“So… I’m here!”
