Release that Witch - Chapter 1252

[Chapter 1220 The Source of the Accident]

Roland can be said to have experienced the most stressful week since he took charge of Neverwinter.

Although there are various indications that the coming of the red moon may be much earlier than in the past, and he has been making efforts in this regard, but the suddenness of this change still exceeds everyone’s expectations—no The ten years of the church was not the two or three years estimated by Taquila, but shortly after he started the population migration plan, it just appeared in the sky over the western border without warning.

Of course that is not accurate.

Within a week, there were one after another urgent reports from other cities, all of which mentioned the abnormal changes in the sky.

And without exception, no one observed the approaching and moving process of the red moon. It seemed to hang there originally, but was covered by the sky and was in an invisible state of invisibility. Just blue sky.

Roland found that he suffered from a mild “red moon syndrome”, that is, no matter what he was doing, he would intentionally or unintentionally look for a window hole where he could see the sky, and he would easily fall into a daze when looking at the red moon.

The red halo is so huge, yet not dazzling, its outline can be seen clearly no matter it is day or night.

After staring for a long time, he even had the illusion that Hongyue was also watching him.

According to the federation, the appearance of the red moon means the beginning of the battle of divine will. Roland has been preparing for this all these years, but when it really came, he felt a little unreal.

The Fertile Plain was still quiet, and the investigation team sent to the north had no response. Only Neverwinter City was greatly affected. A report was sent from the administrative office every half hour, but all of this basically had nothing to do with the devil.

“Your Majesty,” Nightingale’s voice interrupted his thoughts, “you’re staring at the sky in a daze again.”

Roland blinked and came back to his senses, “Uh——sorry, I just couldn’t help—”

Nightingale flashed over, handed a piece of dried fish to his mouth, and interrupted the second half of his sentence, “No need to apologize, in fact, there is nothing wrong with being in a daze, you are too tired these days, just take a rest .Do you want me to watch the moon with you? Since the red moon is related to the divine will, it is also a kind of research to look more.”

Roland was immediately amused. Nightingale was probably the only one who could talk about touching fish so grandly.

He took the fish fillet in his mouth and shook his head helplessly, “There is still a lot to do. Continue to supervise me, don’t let the water in on purpose, understand?”

Nightingale curled her lips, then dodged back and lay down on the sofa beside her.

Roland took a deep breath and brought his attention back to the stack of reports on the desktop.

These days, the red moon has caused more troubles to Neverwinter than the devils who have attacked thousands of miles away.

According to the statistics of the Administrative Office and the Security Bureau, there were four fires and sixteen crimes in Neverwinter in one week.

In addition to the eight work-related accidents learned from Anna, a total of 21 people died and more than 500 people were injured, and 90% of the casualties occurred within 24 hours after the appearance of the red moon. The most chaotic moment.

At first Roland thought it was the panic of the people that caused all this, but when the situation on the scene gradually gathered together, he noticed that things were not that simple, so he appointed a joint team to conduct further investigations, and the conclusions reached were also Quite surprising—aside from the accidents caused by panic, the magic fluctuations brought about by the red moon’s presence in this world are the real culprits that caused this chaos.

The investigation documents submitted by Agatha clearly described the situation at that time.

At around 5:35 p.m., the red moon suddenly appeared in midair, and the working magic equipment in Neverwinter was affected to varying degrees.

For example, the ending of “Dust of Annihilation”, which is being shown in theaters, has a sudden change, and the illusion is almost the same as the real scene; the lighting in the industrial area is overloaded instantly, all the light bulbs are blown, and the machine tool driven by Dawn No. 1 is partially paralyzed; the most serious accident occurs In the No. 1 Machinery Factory, an old-fashioned boiler exploded on the spot, and the scalding high-pressure steam knocked all the surrounding workers to the ground.

The subsequent investigation proved that due to the limitation of the manufacturing process, the important parts such as valves and valves of the boiler were solidified by candles, and the furnace body had hidden problems before that, but no one noticed it.

Judging from the testimonies collected by all parties, this abnormal state lasted for about ten minutes before gradually returning to stability.

The frequent accidents exacerbated the chaos at that time, and many people even thought that the devil was attacking Neverwinter. Although the factory had drilled the emergency plan, the implementation was not satisfactory.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Neverwinter’s public medical system was far superior to the contemporary level, plus Nana’s on-site treatment, the death toll might have multiplied several times.

It stands to reason that such a vision should be recorded by the federation, but the fact is that the Taquila witch is also unaware of this.

Thinking about it now, either the fluctuations in the past two times when the red moon appeared in the world were small, or the popularity of magic devices was not high at that time, so no one noticed this small change.

The impact of the accident has not yet completely ended. UU Read Book www.sonicmtl.com Since no one dared to say that the fluctuation would not recur, the factory launched a comprehensive inventory operation to improve or eliminate all kinds of old machines from the factory.

The Administration Office also made a supplement to the emergency plan, including how to stay awake and avoid panic under abnormal circumstances. The term “magic accident” was also recorded in official documents for the first time.

On the contrary, it was the second release of Spectacular Movie three days after it stopped broadcasting, which triggered a new round of upsurge in watching dramas in Neverwinter.

People who knew the plot of the premiere from various channels almost surrounded the theater, basically all of them came for the gimmick of “participating in person and changing history”. reduce.

It can be said that this can be regarded as one of the few anecdotes in the past week.

But in any case, this chain of accidents has cast a shadow on the Rubik’s Cube power unit that is about to be launched.

What Roland wants to know most now is whether such fluctuations only exist at the moment when the red moon falls, or will appear irregularly throughout the entire battle of divine will.

If it is the former, he can accept it once every four hundred years. After all, defeating the devil is the top priority—whether it is Dawn No. 1 or Rubik’s Cube Power, they all have advantages that cannot be compared with conventional equipment, and they will greatly improve Graycastle’s industrial capabilities. It’s big, and it’s addictive once you use it.

But if it’s the latter, then he has to consider the high risk of losing control.

At this moment, the phone in the administrative office rang.

Generally speaking, the only person who can get into this inside line is the manager Barov.

Roland sighed, picked up the receiver and put it to his ear, “There won’t be any new problems, right?”

“No, Your Majesty…” Barov’s tone seemed hesitant, “Just now the Dispersed Star scholar suddenly rushed into my office, saying that he had made a major discovery about the Red Moon, I hope you can… no, you must let me You go to the observatory yourself.”
