At this moment, the soldiers outside the library had already heard the noise inside, but no one dared to step forward.
Because there was a group of national alchemists blocking the way outside the library. Judging from their attire, they were royal alchemists from the imperial city. Dozens of them blocked the door and prevented people from entering. Moreover, when they came here before, Master Rachel, the top alchemist representing the Kserk alchemists, had just entered.
I wonder what brings this adult to the library suddenly.
The soldiers around dared only to watch but not to ask!
But there have been constant sounds coming from inside since a while ago... The courtyard in front of the library is very large, and the actual entrance is very far away. The sound was quite far away before, but suddenly it became louder.
It feels like being in a fight.
"What are you doing!" A few soldiers took a few steps and were immediately stopped by the alchemists they saw.
"General, what are you doing? Why did you suddenly kick us out and not let us in? It seems like something happened inside." The soldiers guarding the Datu Embassy are one of the guards in the capital, but this kind of idle position basically has no real power, and their daily treatment is even worse than those soldiers standing at the city gate.
Many times they give themselves some small benefits.
When I see a real patrol soldier in the capital, I call him "Sir". But now the people standing in front of me are alchemists from the imperial city, so I can only call them "General". No matter whether they are... Anyway, there is definitely nothing wrong with calling them that.
"Don't ask so many questions. These have nothing to do with you."
boom!
Just as he was trying to stop the other party, another explosion was heard in the yard. This time it was louder, and even the alchemist guarding outside was curious.
But I don’t dare to look…
Because when the great alchemist Rachel brought people here, she specifically instructed that no matter what happened inside, even if they saw the entire library was destroyed, they could not go in. Once they entered, they would most likely be killed indiscriminately by the alchemy array she had set up in advance!
Looking at the streaks of emerald green light flashing on the wall at the door, I had to put my curiosity aside.
I've never seen this kind of alchemical array sword fight, let alone crack it!
I guess there are not many people in the entire Kserk Empire who can solve it. I can't do it anyway, so I can only be a gatekeeper and not let anyone in.
But then again, the noise inside was getting louder and louder, and everyone could tell that it was the sound of fighting. The alchemist at the door glanced at his companion opposite, who was also curious but in the end could only shake his head.
"Do you think it could be the inmates who set fire to the prison a few days ago?"
"Who knows? Master Rachel must be a very tough opponent to be able to personally take action. It's best not to tell anyone about what happened today."
The two nodded in unison and looked at the soldiers standing not far away.
"Go a little further, go a little further..."
Both of them thought that it was probably the Great Alchemist who was fighting the enemy inside. As for how she discovered the enemy and why he was hiding in the library, it was unknown. Anyway, the person who could make her take action personally was a true master. You must know that over the years, especially in the past ten years, the person who can truly represent the peak of Kserk's strength is the Great Alchemist Rachel.
The other party was a disciple of a famous teacher and came from an aristocratic family. Her innate talent was enough to make others look up to her. It was said that when she was young, she was known as the best of her generation.
Since Xerke fought many proxy wars abroad, he often sent out many alchemists...
This resulted in the death or disability of the previous generation of alchemists, especially the great alchemist known as the Omniscient Meredith who was executed for treason. The alchemy of the entire country suffered varying degrees of damage. During that period, many Omniscients came and went. Fortunately, since Rachel obtained this position, she has been carefully reforming the alchemy system of the entire country. Over the years, she no longer calls herself the Omniscient, but simply retains the title of Great Alchemist.
And her ability is enough to support this title.
There shouldn't be anyone in this country that she needs to deal with seriously!
Everyone standing outside believed that the Great Alchemist would be able to quickly deal with the enemy and come out.
…
At the same time, in another place in the capital of Xerxes, someone also noticed the situation on this side.
Duncan noticed some strange energy flows inside the city center. He was very familiar with this thing. It was the power of the great alchemist using her golem. Although Duncan didn't know how Rachel made this golem, he could always feel a slight change in the air every time she used it.
What he is good at is fire, and the name of Flame Alchemy has been his trademark for more than 20 years. The strong flow of energy in the air had to attract his attention.
"Did you feel it?" Duncan asked the two people standing behind him.
One man and one woman, they are considered his direct disciples.
If Sean were present at this moment, he might be able to recall the other person's name... He was the person who had a head-on confrontation with him in Lewis City. That was also the first time Duncan witnessed the power of witchcraft. Moreover, the two had communicated for a period of time during the subsequent march. Since it seemed to Sean that the time was not long, he should still remember the other person.
"It seems to be...fire?" The man spoke first.
"It's flames."
One man and one woman, both were state alchemists, so they both wore blue uniforms, had standard Kserk looks, and both came from prominent families.
For more than 20 years, Duncan relied on his relationship with Rachel and the famous alchemist of the time, Codal, to step by step reach his current position of colonel. Although he is not as good as Rachel in the Imperial City, his own level is close to that of Order 12 or above, and he is considered a person who can have a say among the alchemists in the entire country.
"Not only the flames, but also the Great Alchemist's golem puppets."
"Master Rachel?" the girl said in surprise.
"Hmm." Duncan frowned.
"I'm afraid something is going to happen over there. You two should go over and take a look. Don't let the incident from a few days ago happen again in the city." Duncan ordered.
"Understood, mentor."
The two nodded and ran out in a hurry.
Late at night, not only in this place, but even in the area near the big library, one can feel a scorching temperature...very hot.
"Summer is over, why is it still so hot!" Some people in the houses on the streets and alleys turned over and complained because they couldn't sleep.
At this moment, in the courtyard of the Great Library...
A stream of hot flame fluid exploded instantly!
