Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1019: Lightning Rage

There are countless civilizations in the universe, and there are different ways to use natural crystals containing Origin Energy. The more brutal use is to squeeze the Origin Energy out of the crystal directly to absorb or strengthen it, or replenish the Origin Energy you consume. As for the Earth Federation, most of them were used as energy supply units for certain devices, or were used in the magic energy arming sequence. The Heavenly Party Star was rich in resources, and there was no lack of ore veins with various kinds of Origin Energy crystals. The residents of Planet Paradise used these Origin Energy crystals differently. Some of the foreign experts in Shadow Duchy used Origin Energy crystals as food. As for the Bailey Empire, the use of Origin Energy crystals was more in alchemy.

Alchemists were generally in the hands of the imperial family. They obtained knowledge from ancient ruins and applied it to the crystals of Origin Energy. Different kinds of Origin Energy crystals had different uses. For example, blood crystals from the throat of demons were usually made into Blood Boiling Demon Crystals and Angry Blood Demon Crystals that could stimulate Origin Energy in a short period of time. For example, the Lightning Rage used by Elyse was made from crystalline lightning stones from rocks at the peak of the Absolute Peak that had been corroded by lightning and fire for many years. Alchemists used secret techniques to embed specific Origin Energy patterns. When activated by Origin Energy, the lightning and fire source power inside the lightning stone would boil and even explode, resulting in large-scale destruction.

However, the materials of the lightning stone were limited. Even with the wealth of the Bailey Empire, the reserves of the lightning stone in the treasury were still scarce. The thunder fury made from it was even more limited, and it was mostly used in warfare. It was almost unprecedented for Elyse to carry a bolt of lightning with him.

"Then tomorrow, I look forward to seeing Sir Alan."

At the entrance of the Frost Moon Hotel on Seventh Avenue in Sardinia City, Slyn and a group of influential people in the city watched Ellen get into a carriage and waved goodbye. Private Ficken, who was the coachman, waved his whip and two white horses stepped forward, pulling the carriage towards the Flying Elephant Hotel.

The dusty banquet tonight was a feast for the guests, and Alan was naturally warmly welcomed. However, whether it was General Silin or the city's Fujia squire, they were overly enthusiastic, which made Ellen feel very unnatural. Even though Slyn was leading the way, Allen did not think that an Empire viscount could attract so much attention. Behind those smiling faces at the banquet, he always felt that there were other hidden meanings.

Inside the carriage, Edward waved his hand and was about to say something. Suddenly, a dull explosive sound rang out from outside the car. The curtains were dazzling with blue light. Edward pulled up the curtains, and Alan looked out of the window, only to see a pillar of lightning rushing into the distant city. The center of the pillar of light was blazing white, and the periphery was blue and violet lightning. Lightning snakes wandered around the pillar of light.

After the pillar of light gradually disappeared, thick black and red smoke rose slowly. The flames within the thick smoke lit up the nearby buildings.

Alan and Edward looked at each other.

At the entrance of the hotel, Slyn stood on the steps of the bar and saw the pillar of lightning that shot into the sky. His face turned ashen, and he said in a deep voice, "Victor, go and find out what happened."

The old subordinate who had followed General Silin for a long time, did not call a guard.

"General Slyn, what's going on? I think that direction is Heavenly Kingdom Garden Street, right? Could it be that something violent happened?" A fat man in luxurious clothes with an oily face said worriedly. josei

"What? You mean Garden Avenue? Heavens, did something happen to my manor?"

The sudden appearance of the pillar of lightning caused the faces of all the nobles in the city around the general to turn pale. Among them, there were some residents of the Heavenly Kingdom Garden, and they hurriedly called their own people over to the main street to take a look. '"Everyone, rest assured. I've already asked Witt to bring people to check. This is Sardinia, the city guarded by our Emerald Bucks. I will not let anyone's property suffer any damage. Please rest assured!" Slyn said with a dignified expression.

Slyn thought to himself, could it be that the viscount had just arrived today and something like this had happened in the city? Could it be that these two things had something to do with each other? Since the accident happened on Heavenly Country Garden Street, the people living there were all big shots in the city. The identities of these people were nothing, but there was no lack of backing behind them, and none of them Slyn could afford to offend. Slyn was worried and called the messenger to send an urgent message to the barracks. He immediately called out a city defense team to assist Witt.

The curtains were lowered again, and Edward casually laid down a Origin Energy barrier so that the conversation in the carriage wouldn't leak out. "Looks like there's someone who doesn't give General Slyn a good life," he said indifferently.

Alan heard what he said and cast an inquiring look. Edward smiled and said, "In that direction, if I remember correctly, it should be Heavenly Garden Street. There are all the big shots in Sardinia. You think something like this happened there? Slyn won't be able to sleep well for the next few days."

'"Don't you think Slyn's attitude is very strange when it comes to this? If he makes things difficult for us, I think it's normal. But we've cut off his slave trade, and he seems to be fine." Ellen spread out his hands and said, "I'm not good at dealing with people like him. You can't even guess what he's thinking or setting up. That puts me in a completely passive position."

"You don't have to worry about Slyn's attitude, tonight he didn't help us and the Chamber of Commerce in the city, tomorrow take Shawn and the others to meet these Chamber of Commerce big shots. Slyn will also attend. When that time comes, you can sell that batch of swords and guns we recycled on the spot. You can use this opportunity to test Slyn's reaction. "It can also be used to clarify which chambers of commerce have dealings with Slyn and which can be our allies."

Ellen frowned. "Then it was Slyn who planned the attack last night. What if Slyn didn't do it?"

'"That's even better. Attacking the Viscount of the Empire is no small matter. Just give Slyn some more work to do. Ask him to help us track down the main messenger behind the attack last night. If we can drag Slyn into the water, then the situation will be chaotic. The more chaotic the situation is, the more advantageous it will be for us."

Ellen pointed at Edward, secretly praising him for his good plan and agreeing, "Isn't this the so-called fish in troubled waters?"

"Yes, the empire, especially the Northern Capital. The more cloudy the water in this pool, the more advantageous it will be for us. Unless you want to be the target of public criticism, then pretend that I didn't say anything."

'"Bullshit, I'm not free to be the target of public criticism, you … Eh?" Ellen scolded. His heart skipped a beat, and a familiar aura smashed into his perception. At the same time, a series of screams suddenly sounded from a shop on the left side of the main road. Several men and women ran out of the shop like they were burning their butts. Blood oozed from one of the men's foreheads. Then, the shop and the door exploded, and three figures shot out of the shop at lightning speed.

Edward opened the curtains, and Alan saw clearly that the person leading the way was Elyse!
