Versatile Mage: Starting Contract Groudon

Chapter 100 The Eve of Disaster

"Something happened?" Zhao Tingxi touched his chin.

He had some guesses, probably because the recording he gave Jiang Feng had a miraculous effect. After all, this matter involved the Black Church, and as long as the source of the information was reliable, the official action would not be slow.

In addition, Jiang Feng himself is very powerful and is an old acquaintance of Zhu Meng, so some things progress very quickly.

So, Zhao Tingxi also sent a message to Jiang Feng, saying that he had returned to the ancient capital.

As for Mo Fan, he returned to the ancient capital one day earlier than Zhao Tingxi. Because Zhao Tingxi had reminded him in advance, Mo Fan paid close attention and caught Hong Jun, the scum who had fallen into the Black Church.

"Yes, there were many people who opposed it at that time." Mu Bai smiled, "But last night, after a large wave of undead hit the west outer wall, no one said anything."

"Tide of the Undead? Tell me in detail." Zhao Tingxi frowned slightly.

“Last night, no undead appeared on the east, north, and south sides of the ancient capital. However, a large number of undead suddenly appeared on the west outer wall. If martial law had not been imposed in advance, I’m afraid a large number of mages would have been in danger.” Mu Bai felt a little scared when he said this.

"I was near the west outer wall last night. The scale of the undead tide was very large, probably more than any undead I have ever seen. It is said that there were several commander-level undead and countless warlord-level undead."

"I see."

"I estimate that there must be a lot of undead appearing recently. If you go out to hunt undead, you'd better follow the official personnel, otherwise it will be easy to get into trouble." Mu Bai gave Zhao Tingxi a suggestion.

"I know." Zhao Tingxi fell into thought.

The next day, Zhao Tingxi was taken by Jiang Feng to an office in the Bell Tower Magic Association. To his surprise, there was not only Zhu Meng, but also Han Ji, the president of the Bell Tower Magic Association.

Zhao Tingxi didn't know either of these two people, but he had seen their photos.

"Zhu Meng, President Han, I have brought the person here."

Han Ji took action and a faint barrier sealed off the entire conference room, preventing any sound or movement from being heard.

Zhao Tingxi gestured to the two of them and said, "Member of the Congress, Chairman, hello."

"Hello, you must be Zhao Tingxi, right? Jiang Feng has been praising you these past two days. It's true that a young man can become a hero! I see that you haven't received any votes for the World University Competition yet. I still have two votes in Gudu, so I'll vote for you. The recording you provided to us has really helped our Gudu."

"President Han, you're too kind. This is what I should do." Zhao Tingxi was a little flattered.

"Jiang Feng told me all the news you mentioned. To be honest, I sent outsiders to conduct some investigations before. Someone has already smelled this bloody storm in advance, so the credibility of your news is quite high. We have already issued a warning to the Forbidden City Court and asked them to be ready for rescue at any time."

Zhao Tingxi nodded, and was quite satisfied that the officials had intelligence.

Originally, he was worried that the official authorities in the original book were slow to act and did things without thinking, and they might be slow to react after receiving his message.

Now it seems that novels are just novels after all. "Also, we have closed down the teahouse you mentioned, but unfortunately we didn't catch the key person. In addition, the owner of the teahouse has been confirmed to have a connection with the Black Lagoon Court, so you have made a great contribution this time. But..."

"But things are far from over." said Zhao Tingxi.

"Yes, so we imposed martial law on the whole city early on." Han Ji said, "No matter what, there will be a fierce battle soon. In addition, you told Jiang Feng that you suspected that the high-level officials of the Ancient Capital had infiltrated the Black Church. There are some clues on this matter."

Han Ji stood up and said, "If you have nothing else to do, you can go out first. I have other things to arrange."

After saying that, Han Ji opened the barrier and let Zhao Tingxi and Jiang Feng leave.

After leaving, Zhao Tingxi looked around to see if there was anyone around, and then he said to Jiang Feng, "Aunt Jiang, how far has the investigation progressed?"

Jiang Feng did not hide it: "We have already caught seven or eight gray priests, but they are all peripheral figures, small characters, and none of the key characters have been caught. But in general, according to some of the information we have now, the Black Church has already started its actions, and the ancient capital is likely to face a wave of undead attacks in the near future."

"So yesterday, we asked for help from outside. Then starting at noon today, the ancient capital also began to relocate the people to the inner security zone."

"That's good..." Zhao Tingxi couldn't help but sigh that things were done very quickly in the ancient capital.

Less than a week had passed since the recording was submitted. From investigation to arrests, to city-wide martial law and seeking outside help, and finally to the evacuation of the people, the ancient capital acted very quickly.

Judging from the current level of vigilance in the ancient capital, many tragedies in the original novel could have been avoided to a large extent.

"By the way, there will be some action in the ancient capital tonight. According to the current situation, it is estimated that a fierce battle will take place." Jiang Feng patted Zhao Tingxi on the shoulder.

"Okay, I'll do my best."

"Xiao Zhao, tell Aunt Jiang a secret. What is your relationship with the God of Earth?" Jiang Feng suddenly asked Zhao Tingxi.

Since Jiang Feng returned to the secular world, she has inquired about the news of the God of Earth. To be honest, this is not a very confidential news. Because the Sakura Country can't suppress the news of the two emperor-level demons fighting.

So Jiang Feng easily learned the name of the God of Earth, and also knew what this terrifying emperor-level demon had done.

Zhao Tingxi knew that Jiang Feng had learned something, so Zhao Tingxi did not hide it: "I have a cooperative relationship with it."

As he spoke, Zhao Tingxi revealed the lava rune on his hand: "I got its power. I helped it recover its strength and also helped it to take revenge. So, to the outside world, I have another hidden identity, called the Lava Messenger."

"I see." Jiang Feng nodded.

"After the action tonight, I will use my own identity to do things first, and later, I will use His power. You will be able to recognize me after I take action. You have to help me speak up then, I don't want to be besieged by my own people." Zhao Tingxi specifically reminded Jiang Feng.

This is no joke. Given the current situation in the ancient capital, an unknown strong man has appeared. No matter which side you help, you will be watched.
