Chapter 175 Doomsday Cultists



"You are not hurt, are you, Lord Lin? Do you need to ask a potion master to come over?"

Lin En shook his head, indicating that he was not seriously injured, and then he heard August sigh and say, "That's good. In fact, this is the fourth attack in the past two days!"

"Before you, three councillors had been attacked, and you are the only one who survived so far."

Lin En paused. He didn't expect that things would be so serious. Openly attacking multiple congressmen was simply rubbing the face of the entire wizarding land on the ground!

"Sir Lin, you should have found a way to keep someone alive. If you could have gotten something out of him, we wouldn't be in such a passive position." Luo Er at the side couldn't help but speak out.

The entire security team has been extremely busy over the past two days. There have been successive attacks in the city of Greenriel, and the victims are extremely important congressmen. The pressure they are under can be imagined. August, who is acting as the Speaker, has been criticized by many people.

In order to avoid causing widespread panic, the parliament immediately blocked the news and, based on the common characteristics of the attackers' targets, ambushed near the residences of several parliamentarians who were proficient in elemental science. Unexpectedly, the target of the attack this time was Lin En, who was in another city district.

"You can't say that, Rawl. A raid like this is no different from an ordinary battle. Even the most powerful wizard can be careless sometimes. It's a blessing to be able to survive." August shook his head, refuted Rawl's words, and then spoke again.

"But Sir Lin, please tell me what happened in detail. Maybe we can find some important clues."

"About fifteen minutes ago, I was sitting in the seat next to me, studying the spell model of the new magic, and then I saw a dagger stabbing towards my neck..." Lynn roughly recounted what happened before and after the attack, but made some changes and deliberately ignored the fact that he used psychic magic to retrieve his memory.

After hearing the entire story of the attack, the wizards present couldn't help but shudder. Before, they only knew that Lin En had been attacked, but they didn't expect the process to be so thrilling.

This kind of sudden attack without warning is impossible to defend against, not to mention that the attackers are armed with weapons that can instantly break the [Mage Shield]. No wonder three congressmen died inexplicably at home.

Luo Er tried to put himself in Lin En's situation and broke out in a cold sweat. If he was the one being attacked, he would probably be a corpse by now.

However, this time the attackers obviously chose the wrong target. This young wizard from beyond the Sea of ​​Mist was not easy to deal with. Rawl had experienced this firsthand when he was at the port of Ieta.

"Master August, do you know what kind of magic is that can avoid sight?" Lin En asked curiously.

"It's probably polarizing magic, or shadow magic... In addition, some psychic magic can also make people hallucinate." August said thoughtfully. "Not many people can use these magics, which is a very important clue."

"Are there any suspects?" Lin En continued to ask. Three congressmen died in two whole days. It is possible that the security team did not find out anything, right?

He was attacked for no apparent reason. Although he was not injured, Lin En was still a little nervous. If his reaction was a little slower, the result would be unpredictable.

"From the intelligence the security team has gathered, the wizards of the Doomsday Cult seem to believe that the elements themselves have life and consciousness, and they hope that all wizards will give up their study, research, and exploration of the elements, believing that this is the reason for the coming of the Doomsday."

Lin En was very surprised. Are these wizards all crazy? Elementology is the first major subject in magic, and most of the witchcraft models are related to it. This is tantamount to cutting off one's own arm.

"No, if they are looking for wizards who are proficient in elemental studies, then why are they targeting me?" Lin En asked puzzledly. He has not made any remarks related to elements recently.

"Professor, could it be that your theory of gravity conflicts with those people's doomsday talk?" Lydia hesitated and said weakly.

Lin En also realized this very quickly. He had heard Lydia say before that the so-called five-planet conjunction and the fall of the moon in the doomsday prophecy could be refuted by the theory of gravity.

It is equivalent to correcting their doomsday remarks and destroying the soil for the existence of doomsday sects from the root.

In this way, the other party does have a reason to attack him.

"Since you have always suspected that this matter is related to the Doomsday Sect, why don't you arrest a few believers and interrogate them?" Lin En asked again. These wizards were openly spreading the Doomsday message everywhere, and it was almost as if they had the label of "troublemakers" written on their faces.

After August's explanation, Lynn realized that he was once again habitually thinking with the mindset of his previous life.

Official wizards are a privileged class in Greenriel. If the parliament arbitrarily arrests and investigates an official wizard without solid evidence that he has violated the law, the parliament will face great public pressure.

Not to mention that there are many people who believe in doomsday rhetoric and elemental spirits. I am afraid that hundreds of wizards will be involved, and rash actions may cause greater chaos.

"But I can't worry about that now." August said thoughtfully. "I have sent several security teams to track and investigate the wizards who spread the doomsday rumors, hoping to find some key evidence."

Lin En nodded. The complexity of the situation exceeded his expectations. If not handled properly, this incident would most likely cause a riot that would affect the entire Greenridge City.

"This is basically the information I know. Things are far from over. You must be careful these days and it's best not to act alone." August reminded solemnly and left several wizards from the security team to strengthen the defense of the manor. Then he hurriedly said goodbye with the bodies of the two attackers and returned to the Sky Realm to see if he could find any new clues.
