Magus Tech Chapter 1349: Reproduction of the 13-tone bronze bell
At the end, Oscar lowered his voice, waved his hand and looked at Li Cha, and said seriously: "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about business. You are looking for me in such a hurry because you want to confirm what you promised at the beginning How to cash it?"
"Yes." Li Cha did not deny it, "It was agreed at the beginning, I will help you win the war, and give me what I want, and now the war has been won..."
"Then you will get what you want soon." Oscar took the words and said seriously.
"Soon?" Li Cha raised his eyebrows lightly, "What exactly?"
"Of course it's the celebration ceremony." Oscar glanced at Li Cha, and said angrily, "Don't tell me, you don't even want to participate in the celebration ceremony. It's fine if you don't participate in the city entrance ceremony, but the celebration ceremony is for His Majesty to confer rewards A special ceremony for those who have made meritorious service in war.
General Sauron, beware of the Sika Kingdom, just in case, stayed in the reef fortress, it is understandable. Besides him, you, the command consultant, have the highest status in the army. If you don't participate, what kind of celebration is it?
So you must participate, and the remaining things promised to you will be given to you in the name of rewarding credit at the ceremony. In addition, you may have heard that, no accident, you will get a special garrison area in Sika as a fiefdom, which is in return for your extra contributions in the war-the alliance has always been rewarded for its merits and punished for its crimes. "
Li Cha heard this and raised his eyebrows. His first thought was to refuse. After all, he is too lazy to manage any fiefdoms—politics, personnel, communication and so on are the most troublesome things, which will waste too much time and affect the progress of research. , if he really wanted to manage, he would not have left the Blue Lion Kingdom.
However, I suddenly remembered the matter that the Blood Princess Jasmine had discussed with him before—if he was too lazy to manage it, he could transfer it to the other party by name.
In addition, he also thought that many of his current researches have reached a bottleneck period, and it will take a lot of time to break through. I didn't think it was necessary before, and with the threat of the Truth Society, I was more flexible in my own research, so I didn't form any team.
Now that the Truth Society has been wiped out, it may be better to form a large research team from top to bottom to assist.
And a relatively independent territory is relatively easy for forming such a team.
Then...
After thinking for a long time, Li Cha nodded, agreed, and said to Oscar: "Okay, then I will participate in the celebration ceremony."
"That's good." Oscar said, heaving a sigh of relief.
Afterwards, he took a sip of tea and stood up, rubbed the center of his brows, walked out, and said as he walked, "Since your matter is settled, I won't delay any longer, and continue to work on entering the city ceremony and the celebration ceremony things."
"Okay, I'll see you off." Richard said, got up and walked out the door with Oscar.
When he reached the gate of the courtyard, Oscar stopped suddenly, frowned slightly, and turned his head to look in one direction.
Li Cha also frowned, followed Oscar, and looked in the same direction.
"Boom——"
From that direction, a long copper bell sounded.
"Boom——"
Followed by another sound of the bronze bell.
"Boom——"
One more time.
"Boom——"
Fourth, fifth...
One time after another, the copper bell's sound became shorter and shorter and more urgent.
The sound was like solid wood pulp, which was inserted into the night and stirred vigorously, making the air suddenly turbulent.
This is it? !
It stands to reason that in Char City, the sound from the bell tower is used to tell the time—but the time telling is done during the day and will stop at night. After all, no one wants to be sound asleep and be suddenly disturbed by the bell. Awake. If that's the case, I'm afraid none of the bell strikers survived the night.
So, it is not normal for bells to ring at night.
Extremely abnormal!
Every time it sounds, it means that something big has happened, something big enough to wake up the whole city to announce it.
As for the specific matter, it should be distinguished according to the number of times the bell rings, for example:
Six times, it means that spies have invaded, causing uncontrollable bloodshed, and the whole city is to be sealed off and put under martial law. After Charr built the city, such a bell only rang twice, and it was just when the country was first established.
Nine times, it means that a large number of enemy troops suddenly appeared in the vicinity, and the whole city needs to be on guard, ready to face the battle. After Shaar built the city, this bell rang only once, and it was also when the country was just founded. And that time it was a false alarm, and the person who ordered the bell was severely punished.
Twelve times, it means that there is an irresistible disaster, and the whole city needs to be evacuated-such a bell, not to mention Shaar, has never sounded in the entire Soma Alliance city...
Then what is the bell?
When the bell rang, Oscar was a little dazed and surprised at first, but after three rings, he had already reacted, and calmly began to count, so as to determine exactly what happened.
Then after the six strikes, the bell did not stop...
After nine strikes, the bell did not stop...
After twelve strikes, the bell still didn't stop...
In the end, the bell struck the thirteenth time, followed by a long period of silence, allowing the lingering sound of the bell to linger in Shaar's night for a long time.
Thirteen strokes?
Li Cha, who was also paying attention to the number of bells, raised his eyebrows after hearing the last bell, and couldn't help recalling a previous experience.
I remember that when he was still on the east coast, he went back to the White Rock Tower once, and suddenly the bronze bell rang from the White Rock Tower, also thirteen times. Later, he followed the crowd to the open space outside, only to find that the bronze bell struck thirteen times, which represented the funeral ceremony—it was ringing for the burial of all the wizards who died in the White Stone Tower under the attack of the Supreme Order God Society (Truth Society).
The most profound thing is that at the funeral, he saw with his own eyes that Macbeth, who liked to wear all white, was buried in the ground. As a result, I later learned from the princess of the Kingdom of Montenegro that Macbeth was a fake death, but he was actually alive—the funeral was just a cover-up.
Then Char's bell rang thirteen times this time~IndoMTL.com~What happened? Is it also a funeral?
If it was really a funeral, who died?
Turning his head, Li Cha noticed that the black-faced old man Oscar's eyes widened at this time, his dark face turned paler than ever before, his body trembled, his lips opened and closed several times without making a sound, as if he had received a huge shock, he almost stood up. Can't live.
This is it?
He was puzzled. In the night, the bell towers of the entire city of Shaar rang, as if responding to the sound of the first bronze bell, and rang thirteen times in sequence.
In November, it was already a cold moon, and the cold wind howled at night, accompanied by the crisp and cold copper bells, the atmosphere suddenly became extremely solemn and depressing.
Li Cha looked at Oscar, and was about to ask a question, but before he could speak, Oscar had suppressed his shock and turned his head to look, and opened his mouth to answer: "Your Majesty... passed away!"
What!
Peter Romanov, Emperor of the Union and Lord Bear, died? !
